Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cleaning and disinfecting medicine cups, and in particular to an automatic plate-arranging and disinfecting device for medicine cups. Background Art

[0002] A medical oral medicine cup is a cup used when giving medicine to patients. In hospitals and other medical institutions, used medicine cups will be centrally disinfected and reused. The current disinfection method is to soak the used medicine cups in a disinfectant solvent for disinfection. During disinfection, due to the large number of medicine cups, the medicine cups are stacked on each other, and the overlapping parts are difficult to disinfect thoroughly. Therefore, the stacked medicine cups need to be separated one by one and then placed in the disinfectant solvent, which takes a lot of time. In addition, even if the medicine cups are separated before disinfection, the medicine cups will still be stacked together when soaked in the disinfectant solvent for disinfection, and they still need to be disassembled one by one for cleaning with water, which also takes a lot of time for the staff. Summary of the invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an automatic medicine cup placing and disinfecting device, so as to thoroughly immerse and disinfect the medicine cup, and at the same time reduce the time of separating the medicine cup so as to clean the medicine cup with water.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] A medicine cup automatic plate-swinging and disinfecting device comprises a frame and a disinfection box, wherein a discharging mechanism, a plate-swinging mechanism, a fixed plate and a pushing mechanism are arranged on the frame; the fixed plate comprises a plurality of fixing holes for fixing the medicine cups; the discharging mechanism comprises a vibrating material plate for separating and sending out the medicine cups one by one, the plate-swinging mechanism is located above the fixed plate and is used for moving the medicine cups and swinging them into the fixing holes, the fixed plate is located between the pushing mechanism and the disinfection box, and the pushing mechanism is used for pushing the fixed plate into the disinfection box.

[0006] Furthermore, the discharging mechanism includes a vibrating material tray, a guide groove, a first electric push rod and a discharging support. One end of the guide groove is connected to the vibrating material tray, and the other end of the guide groove is located above the discharging support. A row of positioning holes is provided on the discharging support. The first electric push rod is connected to the discharging support to drive the discharging support to move along the length direction of the guide groove. The high-frequency vibration of the vibrating material tray can be used to separate the medicine cups and send the medicine cups into the positioning holes for arrangement.

[0007] Furthermore, a probe for detecting the positioning holes is provided at the end of the guide groove to detect and ensure that there is a medicine cup in each positioning hole.

[0008] Furthermore, the plate swinging mechanism includes three groups of linear motion components arranged perpendicular to each other. The vertical linear motion component is provided with a suction cup for picking up the medicine cup. By setting the spatial linear motion component, the suction cup has a wide movement range, which is conducive to plate swinging.

[0009] Furthermore, a sliding cover is provided at the upper end of the fixed plate, a first hollow hole is provided at a position opposite to the fixed hole, and a second hollow hole is provided at the bottom of the fixed hole, so that the disinfectant can easily pass through the first hollow hole and the second hollow hole, thereby facilitating full contact between the medicine cup and the disinfectant.

[0010] Furthermore, a spring-clip assembly is provided between the sliding cover and the fixed plate, and two snap holes are provided on the sliding cover. The spring-clip assembly includes a movable plate arranged inside the fixed plate, the lower end of the movable plate is connected to a spring, and the upper end of the movable plate is provided with two protrusions, which can be movably inserted into the snap holes, so as to relatively fix the sliding cover and the fixed plate, and facilitate opening the sliding cover when it needs to be taken out.

[0011] Furthermore, the pushing mechanism includes a second electric push rod and a push plate, which is fixed to the end of the second electric push rod. The push plate is used to push the sliding cover to cover the fixed plate and push the fixed plate into the disinfection box. The setting of the push plate increases the contact surface with the sliding cover, and can push the sliding cover and the fixed plate more smoothly.

[0012] Furthermore, the fixed disk includes several stacked on the frame, and a lifting mechanism is arranged at the lower end of the fixed disk. The lifting mechanism includes a lifting plate and a third electric push rod connected to the lower end of the lifting plate.

[0013] Furthermore, an inclined guide plate is provided between the disinfection box and the frame, and the fixed plate enters the disinfection box through the guide plate.

[0014] Furthermore, a control panel is provided on the side of the disinfection box, and the control panel is connected to the discharging mechanism, the plate placing mechanism and the pushing mechanism through wires. The control panel has a certain height for easy operation.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. The plate swinging mechanism of the present invention swings the medicine cup into the fixing hole of the fixing plate to fix it, and finally sends it into the disinfection box by the pushing mechanism, which is conducive to fixing and disinfecting the medicine cup. When the medicine cup is disinfected, it will not overlap in the disinfection solvent, so that each medicine cup can fully contact the disinfection solution, thoroughly disinfect the medicine cup, and conveniently wash the medicine cup with water.

[0017] 2. The discharging mechanism can separate the medicine cups and send them out one by one by setting a vibrating material tray, and then use the tray swing mechanism to swing the medicine cups into the fixed holes of the fixed tray for fixing. There is no need to separate the medicine cups one by one, which is beneficial to reduce the workload and working time of the staff. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0027] like Figure 1As shown, the automatic medicine cup plate-staggering disinfection device of this embodiment comprises a frame 1 and a disinfection box 2, on which a discharging mechanism 4, a plate-staggering mechanism 5, a fixed plate 6 and a pushing mechanism 7 are arranged; the fixed plate 6 comprises a plurality of fixing holes 8 for fixing the medicine cups, and the plurality of fixing holes 8 are arranged in a rectangular array for staggering, the discharging mechanism 4 comprises a vibrating material plate 41 for separating and sending out the medicine cups one by one, the plate-staggering mechanism 5 is located above the fixed plate 6, and is used to move the medicine cups and swing them into the fixing holes 8, the fixed plate 6 is located between the pushing mechanism 7 and the disinfection box 2, and the pushing mechanism 7 is used to push the fixed plate 6 into the disinfection box 2, and the disinfection box 2 is filled with disinfectant, so that the medicine cups can be disinfected. For the convenience of control, a control panel 3 is arranged on the side of the disinfection box 2, and the control panel 3 is connected to the discharging mechanism 4, the plate-staggering mechanism 5 and the pushing mechanism 7 through a wire.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the discharging mechanism 4 includes a vibrating tray 41, a guide groove 43, a first electric push rod 42 and a discharging support 44. One end of the guide groove 43 is connected to the vibrating tray 41, and the other end of the guide groove 43 is located above the discharging support 44. A row of positioning holes 45 are provided on the discharging support 44. The first electric push rod 42 is connected to the discharging support 44 to drive the discharging support 44 to move along the length direction of the guide groove 43. Among them, the vibrating tray 41 is a device for automatic sorting, screening and feeding of materials. The existing vibrating tray 41 is usually composed of a hopper, a bottom plate, a controller and a top plate. During the vibration process, the hopper not only vibrates vertically, but also performs torsional vibration around its vertical axis. The composite vibration causes the material in the hopper to rise along the spiral track until it reaches the discharge guide groove 43 and discharges the medicine cup.

[0029] Then, the discharge tray 44 is moved by the extension and retraction of the first electric push rod 42, so that the positioning hole 45 on the discharge tray 44 is opposite to the end of the guide groove 43, and finally the medicine cup is sent into a row of positioning holes 45 of the discharge tray 44. To ensure that each positioning hole 45 has a medicine cup, a probe 46 for detecting the positioning hole 45 is provided at the end of the guide groove 43.

[0030] like Figure 3As shown, when a row of medicine cups is filled in the positioning holes 45 of the discharge tray 44, the medicine cups are moved to the fixed holes 8 of the fixed plate 6 by the swing plate mechanism 5. Specifically, the swing plate mechanism 5 includes three groups of linear moving components 51 arranged perpendicular to each other, and the vertical linear moving components 51 are provided with suction cups 52 for picking up medicine cups. The linear moving components 51 can be motor-driven screw slider mechanisms, which form a spatial rectangular coordinate moving mechanism by combination, such as one linear moving component 51 is responsible for movement in the X-axis direction, one linear moving component 51 is responsible for movement in the Y-axis direction, and one linear moving component 51 is responsible for movement in the Z-axis direction. The three groups of screw slider mechanisms can drive the suction cups 52 to move in space, and have a wide range of spatial movement distances. The suction cups 52 are connected to a negative pressure pump, and the number of the suction cups 52 is the same as the number of the positioning holes 45. A whole row of medicine cups can be sucked at one time, which is conducive to speeding up the swing plate time and improving efficiency.

[0031] In addition, since there are many medicine cups to be sterilized, the fixed tray 6 includes several stacked on the frame 1, and a lifting mechanism is provided at the lower end of the fixed tray 6, which includes a lifting plate 11 and a third electric push rod 10 connected to the lower end of the lifting plate 11. When the uppermost fixed tray 6 is full, the pushing mechanism 7 pushes the uppermost fixed tray 6 into the sterilization box, and then the third electric push rod 10 drives the lifting plate 11 upward, thereby driving the fixed tray 6 to move upward, so that the panning mechanism 5 continues to pan.

[0032] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a sliding cover 9 is provided at the upper end of the fixed disk 6, and a first hollow hole 14 is provided at a position opposite to the fixed hole 8. A second hollow hole 13 is provided at the bottom of the fixed hole 8. When the medicine cup is placed in the fixed hole 8, the sliding cover 9 can be closed to more stably restrict the medicine cup in the fixed hole 8, and the disinfectant can enter from the first hollow hole 14 and the second hollow hole 13 to contact the medicine cup. By utilizing the restrictions of the fixed disk 6 and the sliding cover 9, the medicine cups can no longer be stacked together during disinfection.

[0033] In order to stably connect the sliding cover 9 and the fixed plate 6, a snap assembly is provided between the sliding cover 9 and the fixed plate 6. The sliding cover 9 is provided with two snap holes 15. The snap assembly includes a movable plate 16 arranged inside the fixed plate 6. The lower end of the movable plate 16 is connected to a spring 18. The upper end of the movable plate 16 is provided with two protrusions 17. The protrusions 17 can be movably inserted into the snap holes 15. Figure 6It can be seen that a mounting groove for loading the snap-button assembly is provided on the side of the fixed disk 6, and the protrusion 17 can be movably extended up and down to the upper end of the fixed disk 6. By pressing the movable plate 16 downward, the protrusion 17 can be driven into the mounting groove, so that the sliding cover 9 can slide relative to the fixed disk 6. When the sliding cover 9 covers the fixed disk 6, the protrusion 17 and the buckle hole 15 are opposite, and enter the buckle hole 15 under the action of the spring 18, thereby fixing the sliding cover 9 and the fixed disk 6. The sliding cover 9 is not easy to move in the disinfectant, so that the medicine cup in the fixed hole 8 is not easy to fall out.

[0034] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the pushing mechanism 7 includes a second electric push rod 71 and a push plate 72. The push plate 72 is fixed to the end of the second electric push rod 71. The push plate 72 is used to push the sliding cover 9 to cover the fixed plate 6 and push the fixed plate 6 into the disinfection box 2. In order to facilitate the push plate 72 to push the fixed plate 6 into the disinfection box 2, an inclined guide plate 12 is arranged between the disinfection box 2 and the frame 1, so that the fixed plate 6 enters the disinfection box 2 through the guide plate 12. When closing the sliding cover 9, the side edge of the guide plate 12 is used to block the fixed plate 6, and the push plate 72 pushes the sliding cover 9 to close the cover. After the cover is closed, the third electric push rod 10 drives the lifting plate 11 to rise, so that the fixed plate 6 is higher than the guide plate 12, so that the fixed plate 6 is not blocked, and then the second electric push rod 71 continues to extend, and then the fixed plate 6 can be pushed into the disinfection box 2.

[0035] During disinfection, the staff pours the medicine cup into the vibrating material tray 41, and the medicine cup enters the positioning hole 45 of the discharge tray 44 through the guide groove 43. The linear moving component 51 moves, driving the suction cup 52 to move to the discharge tray 44, adsorbs the medicine cup, and then moves to the fixed plate 6 to release the medicine cup, thereby swinging the medicine cup into the fixed hole 8. Then the second electric push rod 71 of the pushing mechanism 7 extends, and the push plate 72 pushes the sliding cover 9 to cover the fixed plate 6, and is fixedly connected by the spring-fastening component. The fixed plate 6 is then pushed into the disinfection box 2 for disinfection by the pushing mechanism 7. The device utilizes the discharge mechanism 4, the swing mechanism 5, the fixed plate 6 and the pushing mechanism 7 to cooperate with each other to realize automatic swinging and disinfection of the medicine cups, without the need to manually separate the medicine cups one by one, thereby improving efficiency and facilitating thorough disinfection of the medicine cups.

[0036] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
