[0024] Preferably, a medicine dispensing method for a medicine dispensing device for a pharmacy uses the above-mentioned medicine dispensing device to dispense medicine, and the medicine dispensing method comprises the following steps:

[0025] S1. The controller module determines each drug on the medicine list according to the medicine list uploaded by the system, and determines the medicine storage grid where the drug is located according to the medicine information, and then sends a control instruction to the medicine receiving tray lifting drive component and the push lifting drive component corresponding to the column where the medicine storage grid is located; at the same time, the controller module transmits the medicine list information to the printing and labeling device;

[0026] S2, the medicine receiving tray lifting drive assembly operates after receiving the control command, driving the receiving tray to rise to the lower edge of the medicine outlet of the corresponding medicine storage grid;

[0027] At the same time, the push-lift driving assembly also operates after receiving the control command, driving the push rod to the corresponding medicine storage compartment. In the process of driving the push rod to rise, after the push rod runs to the medicine storage compartment below the corresponding medicine storage compartment, the push rod extends, driving the top block to run toward the side where the medicine storage compartment is located, until the top block falls just below the convex edge of the cover plate of the corresponding medicine storage compartment, and the push rod stops extending. At this time, the telescopic end of the push rod does not contact the medicine storage cabinet; then, the push rod continues to move upward, the top block contacts the convex edge of the corresponding medicine storage compartment and abuts against the convex edge in the subsequent upward process, and drives the cover plate to move up to open the push port and the medicine outlet by abutting against the convex edge; after the telescopic end of the push rod is slightly higher than the lower edge of the push port, the push-lift driving assembly stops running;

[0028] S3, the push rod extends again, and its telescopic end drives the push plate to extend from the push port into the corresponding medicine storage compartment. During the extension of the push rod, the top block abuts against the medicine storage cabinet and separates from the push plate. The top block is located outside the medicine storage compartment, and the push plate enters the medicine storage compartment and pushes the medicine at the bottom of the medicine storage compartment. The medicine is pushed out of the medicine storage compartment from the medicine outlet and falls on the receiving tray on the side of the medicine outlet; then, the push rod retracts, and during the retraction process, the push plate is separated from the medicine storage compartment and connected to the top block, which drives the top block to reset. After the push plate is completely located outside the medicine storage compartment, the medicine receiving tray lifting drive assembly and the push lifting drive assembly run in reverse.

[0029] S4, after the push lift drive assembly is turned on for reverse operation, the push rod moves downward until the top block is located below the corresponding medicine storage compartment but still above the cover plate of the lower medicine storage compartment adjacent to the corresponding medicine storage compartment, and the push rod retracts again until it returns to the initial position; during the downward movement of the push rod, the cover plate covers the push port and the medicine outlet under the action of its own weight;

[0030] When the push-lifting driving assembly drives the push rod downward to reset to the position directly below all the medicine storage grids, the medicine receiving tray lifting driving assembly also runs in the reverse direction, and the receiving tray with the medicine thereon moves downward to the position directly below all the medicine storage grids, until the first tray body of the receiving tray is abutted by the push rod; under the action of the push rod, the second tray body of the receiving tray tilts downward, and the medicine slides downward from the side where the second tray body is located to the conveying surface of the medicine discharging conveying assembly directly below;

[0031] S5, the medicine delivery conveyor assembly transports the medicine on it to the conveying surface of the output conveyor assembly, and the output conveyor assembly transports the medicine to the medicine dispensing end; during the transportation process, the medicine first passes through the image recognition module and then passes through the printing and labeling device;

[0032] S6. When the image recognition module senses that the drug is directly below it, its camera module takes a photo of the drug and transmits the collected image information to the processing module of the image recognition module. The processing module of the image recognition module uses image recognition technology to perform image recognition on the image information, obtains the name of the drug, and transmits the recognition result to the main control unit of the printing and labeling device;

[0033] S7, the main control unit of the printing and labeling device transmits the printing information to the printing mechanism of the printing and labeling device according to the recognition result transmitted by the image recognition module and the medicine list information transmitted by the controller module, the printing mechanism forms the corresponding patient medication information, and prints the formed patient medication information on the label paper, the label paper runs with the paper roll under the action of the winding module, when it runs to the bending part, the label paper is separated from the paper roll due to the bending action of the bending part, and is attached to the outer package of the medicine running just below the label paper under the action of the downward pressure roller; the pressure roller resets after the label paper is completely attached to the medicine;

[0034] S8. The medicine continues to be transported under the action of the output conveyor belt assembly until it reaches the medicine dispensing end.

[0035] Furthermore, the medicine dispensing device has a plurality of telescopic pushers, which are arranged on one side of the medicine dispensing end, and a storage basket is arranged on the other side of the medicine dispensing end, one storage basket corresponds to one telescopic pusher, and one telescopic pusher corresponds to one medicine list. The printing and labeling device transmits the printing information to the corresponding telescopic pusher while transmitting the printing information to the printing mechanism. After the label paper is completely attached to the medicine, when the medicine is conveyed to the corresponding telescopic pusher along the conveying surface of the output conveyor assembly, the telescopic pusher runs, and after extending, it pushes the medicine into the storage basket opposite to the telescopic pusher. After pushing, the telescopic pusher retracts and resets.

[0036] Furthermore, the storage basket is provided with a display screen for displaying the patient information on the corresponding medicine list.

[0037] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0038] 1. The present invention realizes the automatic opening and closing of the medicine storage compartment cover and the automatic pushing out of the medicine through the cooperation of the medicine tray assembly and the pushing assembly on the medicine storage cabinet, and is equipped with a medicine discharging conveying assembly and an output conveyor belt assembly to realize the transportation of the medicine.

Further, the pressure roller 7.6 is located above or below the connection between the bending member 7.4 and the paper roll under the action of the roller lifting assembly 7.7.In addition, considering that the label paper 7.5 cannot be well pasted on the outer packaging of the medicine due to the deviation of the medicine when it is transported to the bottom of the bending plate, the output conveyor belt assembly 1 is provided with a swing assembly (not shown) between the image recognition module 6 and the printing and labeling device 7. The swing assembly includes two swing plates and a swing drive. The two swing plates are arranged along the width direction of the conveying surface of the output conveyor belt assembly 1. The two swing plates are opposite to each other and are both located directly above the conveying surface of the output conveyor belt assembly 1. They are connected to the swing drive. Under the action of the swing drive, the two swing plates move towards each other to contact the medicine or move away from each other to move away from the medicine. The swing plates can push the medicine to the center by contacting the medicine so that it is aligned with the center line of the label paper 7.5. In the swing assembly, the swing drive can be a driving structure composed of a screw rod with two opposite thread segments and a motor, or it can be two synchronously running telescopic structures, which is not particularly limited here.

[0062] Furthermore, considering that the thickness of the medicine packaging bags is different, resulting in different heights of the medicine packaging bags from the bending piece 7.4, which causes different pasting effects of the label paper 7.5 due to the different heights relative to the medicine packaging bags, the present invention can also install the printing and labeling device 7 directly above the conveying surface of the output conveyor belt assembly 1 through a printing lifting assembly (not shown in the figure), and the connection between the bending piece 7.4 and the paper roll is close to or away from the conveying surface of the output conveyor belt assembly 1 under the action of the printing lifting assembly, thereby adjusting the height of the bending piece 7.4 to the conveying surface according to the thickness of the medicine packaging bag, so that the label paper 7.5 can be well pasted to the medicine packaging bag.

[0063] In addition, considering that the staff members pick up the medicines at different speeds after printing the label 7.5, which may lead to excessive transportation of medicines away from the staff members or the medicines falling and accumulating, the output conveyor belt assembly 1 is further provided with an interception plate 8 on the transportation route between the printing and labeling device 7 and the transportation end of the output conveyor belt assembly 1. The interception plate 8 is movably installed beside the transportation surface of the output conveyor belt assembly 1, and it can approach or move away from the transportation surface of the output conveyor belt assembly 1 by intercepting the driving member. Specifically, the interception plate 8 can be moved close to or away from the transportation surface by rotating or lifting. The present embodiment provides a rotating method, so that the medicines can be prevented from being transported forward by intercepting the interception plate 8.

[0064] In addition, the present invention can also set a telescopic pusher (not shown) on the transmission route between the printing and labeling device 7 and the transmission end of the output conveyor belt assembly 1, and the telescopic action of the telescopic pusher can be used to push the medicines delivered there away from the conveying surface of the output conveyor belt assembly 1, and then collect them in a storage basket (not shown) on one side of the conveyor belt assembly. All medicines for the same patient are pushed into the same storage basket, and the staff can take all medicines for the same patient at one time, which is convenient for the staff to distribute medicines. Therefore, the telescopic pusher can be arranged in multiple intervals along the conveying direction of the output conveyor belt assembly 1 to collect medicines for multiple patients. In this collection method, the medicine information printed by the printing component is distinguished, so that the corresponding telescopic pusher is prompted to run when the medicine arrives at it. In addition, a display module can be set on the storage basket, and the display module can display the patient information of the loaded medicine according to the control of the central control module, so that the staff can distinguish which patient the medicine in the storage basket belongs to.

[0065] Finally, it should be noted that the lifting drive assembly of the present invention has various structural forms, for example, an electric telescopic rod, a hydraulic cylinder, a transmission belt assembly, and a screw-motor assembly, which will not be described in detail here. The drawings in the specification of this application show one form, specifically a screw-motor assembly. When the screw-motor assembly is used, the pushing lifting drive assembly 4.2 and the medicine receiving tray lifting drive assembly 3.2 corresponding to the same row of medicine storage grids 2.1 can share a motor to achieve synchronous operation of the receiving tray 3.1 and the pushing rod 4.1.

[0066] In addition, the present invention also relates to intelligent control units and sensing units such as a controller module and various sensor modules, which are not introduced in detail here.

[0067] Based on the above-mentioned medicine dispensing device, the present invention also provides a medicine dispensing method of the medicine dispensing device for a pharmacy, comprising the following steps:

[0068] 1. The controller module determines each drug on the medicine list according to the medicine list uploaded by the system, and determines the medicine storage grid where the drug is located according to the drug information, and then sends a control instruction to the medicine receiving tray lifting drive component 3.2 and the push lifting drive component 4.2 corresponding to the column where the medicine storage grid is located; at the same time, the controller module transmits the medicine list information to the printing and labeling device 7;

[0069] 2. The medicine receiving tray lifting drive assembly 3.2 operates after receiving the control command, driving the receiving tray 3.1 to rise to the lower edge of the medicine outlet of the corresponding medicine storage grid;

[0070] At the same time, after receiving the control command, the push-lift driving assembly 4.2 also operates, driving the push rod 4.1 to operate to the corresponding medicine storage grid. In the process of driving the push rod 4.1 to rise, after the push rod 4.1 operates to the medicine storage grid below the corresponding medicine storage grid, the push rod 4.1 extends, driving the top block 4.4 to operate toward the side where the medicine storage grid is located, until the top block 4.4 falls just below the convex edge 2.5 of the cover plate 2.4 of the corresponding medicine storage grid, and the push rod 4.1 stops extending. At this time, the telescopic end of the push rod 4.1 does not contact the medicine storage cabinet; then, the push rod 4.1 continues to ascend, the top block 4.4 contacts the convex edge 2.1 of the corresponding medicine storage grid and abuts the convex edge 2.1 in the subsequent ascending process, and drives the cover plate 2.4 to move up to open the push port and the medicine outlet by abutting the convex edge 2.1; after the telescopic end of the push rod 4.1 is slightly higher than the lower edge of the push port, the push-lift driving assembly 4.2 stops operating;

[0071] 3. The push rod 4.1 extends again, and its telescopic end drives the push plate to extend from the push port into the corresponding medicine storage compartment. During the extension process of the push rod 4.1, the top block 4.4 abuts against the medicine storage cabinet and separates from the push plate. The top block 4.4 is located outside the medicine storage compartment. The push plate enters the medicine storage compartment and pushes the medicine at the bottom of the medicine storage compartment. The medicine is pushed out of the medicine storage compartment from the medicine outlet and falls on the receiving tray on the side of the medicine outlet. Then, the push rod 4.1 retracts. During the retraction process, the push plate is separated from the medicine storage compartment and connected to the top block 4.4, which drives the top block 4.4 to reset. After the push plate is completely located outside the medicine storage compartment, the medicine receiving tray lifting drive assembly 3.2 and the push lifting drive assembly 4.2 run in reverse.

[0072] 4. After the push-lift driving assembly 4.2 is turned on in reverse operation, the push rod 4.1 moves downward until the top block 4.4 is located below the corresponding medicine storage compartment but still above the cover plate of the lower medicine storage compartment adjacent to the corresponding medicine storage compartment, and the push rod 4.1 retracts again until it returns to the initial position; during the downward movement of the push rod 4.1, the cover plate covers the push port and the medicine outlet under the action of its own weight;

[0073] While the push-lifting driving assembly 4.2 drives the push rod to reset downward to the position directly below all the medicine storage compartments, the medicine receiving tray lifting driving assembly 3.2 also runs in the reverse direction, and the receiving tray with the medicine thereon moves downward to the position directly below all the medicine storage compartments, until the first tray body of the receiving tray is abutted by the push rod; under the action of the push rod, the second tray body of the receiving tray tilts downward, and the medicine slides downward from the side where the second tray body is located to the conveying surface of the medicine discharging conveying assembly 5 directly below;

[0074] 5. The medicine discharging conveying assembly 5 transports the medicine on it to the conveying surface of the output conveyor assembly 1, and the output conveyor assembly 1 transports the medicine to the medicine dispensing end; during the transportation process, the medicine first passes through the image recognition module 6, and then passes through the printing and labeling device 7;

[0075] 6. When the image recognition module 6 senses that the medicine is directly below it, its camera module takes a picture of the medicine and transmits the collected image information to the processing module of the image recognition module 6. The processing module of the image recognition module 6 uses image recognition technology to perform image recognition on the image information, obtains the name of the medicine, and transmits the recognition result to the main control unit of the printing and labeling device 7;

[0076] 7. The main control unit of the printing and labeling device transmits the printing information to the printing mechanism 7.1 of the printing and labeling device according to the recognition result transmitted by the image recognition module 6 and the medicine list information transmitted by the controller module. The printing mechanism forms the corresponding patient medication information and prints the formed patient medication information on the label paper. The label paper runs with the paper roll under the action of the winding module. When the label paper runs to the bending part 7.4, the label paper is separated from the paper roll due to the bending action of the bending part 7.4, and is attached to the outer package of the medicine running just below the label paper under the action of the downward pressure roller; the pressure roller resets after the label paper is completely attached to the medicine.

[0077] 8. The medicine continues to be transported under the action of the output conveyor belt assembly 1 until it reaches the medicine dispensing end.

[0078] In the above-mentioned medicine dispensing method, for multiple medicines delivered to the output conveyor belt assembly 1 in the same time period, the medicines of different patients are pushed to the corresponding storage baskets by setting multiple telescopic pushing members on the output conveyor belt assembly. Specifically, one telescopic pushing member corresponds to one medicine list, and the printing and labeling device transmits the printing information to the corresponding telescopic pushing member while transmitting the printing information to the printing mechanism. After the label paper is completely attached to the medicine, when the medicine is transported to the corresponding telescopic pushing member along the conveying surface of the output conveyor belt assembly 1, the telescopic pushing member extends to push the medicine to the storage basket opposite to the telescopic pushing member. After pushing, the telescopic pushing member retracts and resets. For example, a total of five telescopic pushing members are provided, one Five patients' medicines can be taken within a time period, that is, five medicine orders are processed. One telescopic pusher corresponds to one medicine order. When the printing and labeling device prints the patient's medicine taking information, it can analyze which patient's medicine the printed information corresponds to. The printing and labeling device transmits the information to the corresponding telescopic pusher while printing the label. For example, when the medicine information on the second medicine order is being printed, the printing and labeling device transmits the information to the second telescopic pusher. The second telescopic pusher operates when it senses that the medicine is being transported to it, while other telescopic pushers do not sense and operate. In this way, the medicine dispensing device can process multiple medicine orders at the same time, and can classify and collect all medicines for the same patient without checking and picking up the medicines one by one. Furthermore, a display screen can be provided on the storage basket, and the display screen can display the patient's name, which is convenient for the staff to identify which patient the storage basket corresponds to.

[0079] The above description is a detailed description of the preferred feasible embodiments of the present invention, but the embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of the patent application of the present invention. All equivalent changes or modified changes completed under the technical spirit suggested by the present invention should fall within the patent scope covered by the present invention.
