[0020] In order to make the purpose, features, and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0021] Reference Figure 1 - Fig. 9 , a drug dispensing robot provided in an embodiment of the present application, includes a housing 100, a traveling device 200 installed at the bottom of the housing 100, and a control panel 300 installed at the top of the housing 100, the control panel 300 includes a display screen 301 and control buttons 302, and the specific control buttons 302 are provided with four types of buttons, namely, numeric keys, medicine release keys, medicine take keys, and confirmation keys, and the display screen 301 is mainly used to display which trays 500 are blank trays 500 and which trays 500 already have medicines stored. In addition, it also includes a central control processor, which is electrically connected to the travel device 200 and the control panel 300. A medicine dispensing port 101 is opened on the top of the casing 100, and a plurality of medicine racks 400 are installed in a circular array on the inner wall of the casing 100. These medicine racks 400 have multiple layers and are equidistantly linearly distributed in the vertical direction. A tray 500 is placed on the medicine rack 400, and the tray 500 is mainly used to place medicines. A medicine receiving and sending mechanism 600 is set in the casing 100, and the medicine receiving and sending mechanism 600 is mainly used to directly store the medicines prepared by the nurse on the tray 500, and to move the tray 500 containing the medicines for the designated patient to the medicine outlet when the patient takes the medicine.

[0022] Furthermore, the medicine receiving and dispensing mechanism 600 includes a clamping mechanism 610 for clamping the tray 500; a support frame 620 is installed on the bottom surface of the bottom of the casing 100, a rotating seat 630 is rotatably connected to the support frame 620, and a rotating component 640 for controlling the rotation angle of the rotating seat 630 is also installed on the support frame 620; a support seat 650 is arranged above the rotating seat 630, and a lifting component 660 is installed between the support seat 650 and the rotating seat 630, and the lifting component 660 is used to control the height of the support seat 650; a transverse movement component 670 is installed on the support seat 650, and the transverse movement component 670 is used to control the horizontal movement of the clamping mechanism 610.

[0023] Specifically, refer to Figure 7 The clamping mechanism 610 includes a support plate 611 and an electromagnet 612 mounted on the top of the support plate 611. The electromagnet 612 is energized to absorb the tray 500 so that the tray 500 is stably fixed on the support plate 611. Figure 7The support plate 611 is L-shaped, and the transverse movement assembly 670 includes a first light rod 671 horizontally fixed to the support plate 611, and the first light rod 671 is slidably connected to the support seat 650, and a first screw rod 672 is also horizontally fixed to the support plate 611, and a first sleeve 673 is coaxially threadedly connected to the outer side of the first screw rod 672, and a bearing 900 is installed between the first sleeve 673 and the support seat 650, and the first sleeve 673 is rotatably connected to the support seat 650 through the bearing 900, and a first motor 674 is installed on the support seat 650 to drive the first sleeve 673 to rotate, and transmission can be achieved by installing a first gear set 675 that meshes with each other on the first sleeve 673 and the first motor 674.

[0024] Further, see Figure 6 The lifting assembly 660 includes a second light rod 661 vertically fixed to the bottom of the support seat 650, and the second light rod 661 is slidably connected to the rotating seat 630. A second screw rod 662 is also vertically fixed to the bottom of the support seat 650, and a second sleeve 663 is coaxially threadedly connected to the outer side of the second screw rod 662. The second sleeve 663 is rotatably connected to the rotating seat 630 through a bearing 900. A second motor 664 is also installed on the rotating seat 630, and the second sleeve 663 is driven to rotate by the second motor 664. Similarly, a second gear set 665 that meshes with each other can be installed on the shaft end of the second motor 664 and the second sleeve 663 for transmission.

[0025] Further, see Figure 5 The rotating assembly 640 is installed on the third motor 641 on the support frame 620, a driving gear 642 is fixedly connected to the shaft end of the third motor 641, a driven gear 643 is coaxially fixedly connected to the rotating seat 630, and the driving gear 642 is meshed with the driven gear 643.

[0026] The operation of the drug dispensing robot provided in the embodiment of the present application is further introduced below in conjunction with specific usage scenarios: First of all, it should be understood that each patient hospitalized in the hospital has a fixed ward number and bed number, and here the present application uses the numbers corresponding to the ward number and the bed number to represent the patient living in the ward number and bed number. After the nurse has prepared the medicine for a certain patient, she observes the information on the display screen 301 to see which tray 500 is the blank tray 500, then clicks the medicine take button, enters the number key corresponding to a blank tray 500, and then clicks the confirm button. Then the medicine taking and placing mechanism will move the idle tray 500 to the medicine taking port 101 (the blank tray 500 is on the medicine placing rack 400). Specifically, the second motor 664 drives the second sleeve 663 to rotate, and then the threaded cooperation between the second sleeve 663 and the second screw rod 662 and the sliding cooperation between the second light rod 661 and the support seat 650 drives the support seat 650 and the clamping mechanism 610 to rise and fall as a whole to the height of the idle tray 500. At the same time, the third motor 641, the driving gear 642, and the driven gear 644 are driven to move the medicine to the medicine taking port 101. 43 drives the rotating seat 630 to rotate, so that the support plate 611 of the clamping mechanism 610 is just facing the empty tray 500, and then, by driving the first motor 674, the first sleeve 673 is driven to rotate, and then the clamping mechanism 610 is driven to move toward the blank tray 500 under the threaded cooperation of the first sleeve 673 and the first screw rod 672 and the sliding cooperation of the first light rod 671 and the support seat 650, until the electromagnet 612 of the clamping mechanism 610 is just located under the blank tray 500, and then the electromagnet 612 is started so that the electromagnet 612 absorbs the blank tray 500, and then the blank tray 500 is moved to the medicine dispensing port 101 by controlling the transverse movement component 670 and the lifting component 660 to move. Then the nurse places the prepared medicine on the blank tray 500, clicks the medicine release button, enters the ward number and bed number corresponding to the patient, and then clicks the confirmation button. The medicine placing and taking mechanism will move the tray 500 with the medicine to the medicine rack 400 where the tray 500 is located. In this way, the nurse can prepare medicine for several patients at one time and store them on different medicine racks 400. Then the central control processor controls the robot to move and deliver the medicine to the beds of different patients in turn. Here, the location information of the hospital wards and beds needs to be input into the central control processing system of the robot in advance, and the traveling device 200 also needs to be equipped with corresponding sensors to ensure that the robot accurately reaches the location of the designated patient. These are all commonly used methods by people in this field and will not be repeated here. When the robot arrives at a patient's bed, the patient only needs to click the medicine pick-up button, then enter the number of his or her ward and bed, and click the OK button. The medicine pick-up and placement mechanism will then drive the clamping mechanism 610 to the medicine rack 400 where the patient's medicine is located, and move the tray 500 storing the patient's medicine from the medicine rack 400 to the medicine pick-up port 101, so that the patient can take his or her own medicine.

[0027] It should be noted here that the operating states of the first motor 674, the second motor 664, the third motor 641, and the electromagnet 612 are all controlled by the central control processor; in addition, in order to ensure the accuracy of the equipment operation, the lifting component 660, the transverse movement component 670, and the rotating component 640 should be equipped with appropriate sensors. For example, for the transverse movement component 670, a distance measuring sensor (such as a laser sensor) can be installed on the side of the support plate 611. The distance from the side of the support plate 611 to the side wall of the casing 100 is collected by the distance measuring sensor, thereby reflecting the transverse movement distance of the support plate 611, and the first motor 674 is controlled by the central control processor. 674 is operated to ensure that the first motor 674 is stopped in time when the support plate 611 moves with the tray 500 to the medicine rack 400, and the electromagnet 612 is powered off, so that the electromagnet 612 loses its adsorption of the tray 500; for the lifting assembly 660, a distance sensor can also be installed on the support seat 650 to detect whether the height of the support seat 650 reaches the specified height; for the rotating assembly 640, a sensor for detecting the rotation angle (such as a Hall sensor) can be installed to collect the rotation angle of the rotating seat 630, so as to ensure that the support plate 611 is aligned with the appropriate medicine rack 400 for transverse movement. The selection and use of sensors are commonly used by people in this field, and will not be repeated here.

[0028] The present application disposes a medicine rack 400, a tray 500, a clamping mechanism 610, a support frame 620, a rotating seat 630, a support seat 650, a rotating assembly 640, a lifting assembly 660, a transverse movement assembly 670, and a central control processor in a casing 100, disposes a control panel 300 at the top of the casing 100, and installs a traveling device 200 at the bottom of the casing 100, so that nurses can prepare and store medicines for patients in several different beds and wards at one time, and can drive the robot to the patient's bed by itself to accurately deliver medicines to different patients, thereby improving the accuracy and convenience of delivering medicines to several patients as a whole, making the nurses' work more labor-saving and convenient.

[0029] Reference Figure 2 - Figure 5 and Figure 8 As a specific implementation of the embodiment of the present application, the medicine rack 400 includes two U-shaped frames 410 installed on the inner wall of the casing 100, and a plurality of fixed wheel frames 420 are fixedly connected in the U-shaped frame 410. A first roller 430 is installed on each fixed wheel frame 420. When the tray 500 is placed on the medicine rack 400, the first roller 430 abuts against the bottom surface of the tray 500.

[0030] Furthermore, a plurality of clamping members 700 for fixing the position of the tray 500 are installed on the medicine rack 400, and the clamping member 700 includes two sliding columns 710 vertically slidably connected to the U-shaped frame 410, and a limiting bolt 720 is threadedly connected to the top of the sliding column, and the limiting bolt 720 is located at the top of the U-shaped frame 410, and a movable wheel frame 730 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the two sliding columns 710, and a compression spring 740 is ringed on the outer side of the sliding column 710, and one end of the compression spring 740 is fixedly connected to the movable wheel frame 730, and the other end is fixedly connected to the U-shaped frame 410, and a second roller 750 is rotatably connected to the movable wheel frame 730, and when the tray 500 is placed on the medicine rack 400, the second roller 750 abuts against the top surface of the tray 500.

[0031] In combination with a specific usage scenario, when placing the tray 500, the tray 500 is brought to an empty medicine rack 400 under the cooperation of the lifting assembly 660 and the rotating assembly 640, and then the tray 500 is driven to move toward the medicine rack 400 by the transverse movement assembly 670. During this process, the side of the tray 500 close to the medicine rack 400 will first contact the first roller 430 and the second roller 750 of the medicine rack 400 close to the center of the housing 100. As the transverse movement assembly 670 drives the tray 500 to continue feeding, the force of the tray 500 on the second roller 750 causes the second roller 750, the movable wheel frame 730 and the sliding column 710 to move along the sliding column 710 as a whole. The axis rises and further compresses the compression spring 740. As the tray 500 continues to go deeper, all the second rollers 750, the movable wheel frames 730 and the sliding columns 710 on the medicine rack 400 are gradually lifted. When the tray 500 is completely placed on the medicine rack 400, the pressure of the compression springs 740 makes the wheel surfaces of the second rollers 750 tightly press against the top surface of the tray 500, while the bottom surface of the tray 500 presses against the first rollers 430. This ensures the stability of the placement of the tray 500 and prevents the tray 500 from shaking when the robot moves, thereby ensuring that the drugs are not easily scattered, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the drug dispensing robot.

[0032] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Fig. 9 As a specific implementation of the embodiment of the present application, a cup groove 510 is opened in the middle of the top of the tray 500, and a medicine cup 800 is placed in the cup groove 510. The patient's medicine is specifically placed in the medicine cup 800.

[0033] In combination with specific usage scenarios, after the nurse prepares the medicine, she will place the prepared medicine for the patient in the medicine cup 800, and then place the medicine cup 800 in the cup groove 510, and then send the medicine cup 800 and the tray 500 to the medicine rack 400 through the medicine receiving and sending mechanism 600; when the patient takes the medicine, the tray 500, the medicine cup 800, and the medicine are sent to the medicine taking port 101 through the medicine receiving and sending mechanism 600, and the patient can directly pick up the medicine cup 800 and pour out the medicine, which can make it convenient for the patient to take the medicine and ensure that the medicine will not scatter during the robot's medicine delivery process, thereby improving the convenience of using the drug dispensing robot.

[0034] For further information, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Fig. 9 , and also includes an auxiliary cup placement component 520 arranged on the top of the tray 500, the auxiliary cup placement component 520 includes a plurality of slide grooves 521 opened in a circular array on the top of the tray 500, each slide groove 521 is slidably connected with a clamping block 522, a guide slope 523 is opened on the top edge of the clamping block 522 close to the medicine cup 800, and a connecting plate 524 is installed on the side of the slide groove 521 away from the medicine cup 800; one end of the spring 525 is fixedly connected to the side of the clamping block 522 away from the medicine cup 800, and the other end is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 524.

[0035] In combination with specific usage scenarios, when a nurse or a patient places the medicine cup 800 on the tray 500, the bottom of the medicine cup 800 will first contact the guide slope 523 of the clamping block 522, and then the medicine cup 800 will be pressed down along the guide slope 523 until the medicine cup 800 falls into the cup groove 510. This process will compress the spring 525. When the medicine cup 800 is placed in the cup groove 510, under the elastic force of the spring 525, several clamping blocks 522 on the sides of the medicine cup 800 are all abutted against the side of the medicine cup 800, thereby ensuring the stability of the medicine cup 800 placed on the tray 500. In addition, the auxiliary cup placement assembly 520 can further facilitate the patient or nurse to place the medicine cup 800 in the cup groove 510 in the middle of the tray 500, thereby improving the overall convenience of placing the medicine cup 800 and the stability of the medicine cup 800 placed on the tray 500 during the movement of the robot.
