[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] It should be noted that the terms “vertical”, “horizontal”, “up”, “down”, “left”, “right” and similar expressions used in this document are only for illustrative purposes and do not represent the only implementation method.

[0028] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by technicians in the technical field to which the present invention belongs; the terms used in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention; the term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0029] like Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figure 3, a first-in-first-out injection drug storage device includes a container body 1, in which a number of medicine bottles 2 are arranged in close proximity. The container body 1 has an internal space for storing medicines, and is provided with an inclined surface 3, an upper inclined surface 4 and a taking end 5. The inclined surface 3 is arranged inside the container body, and is used to make the medicines automatically slide down in parallel in sequence; the upper inclined surface 4 is located above the inclined surface 3 and is a certain length away from the rear wall of the container, and is used to control the speed and direction of the medicines sliding down; the taking end 5 is arranged at the end of the inclined surface 3, and is used to facilitate the removal of medicines. The inclined surface 3 and the upper inclined surface 4 divide the internal space of the container body into at least three independent storage areas, namely, a taking area, a buffer area, and a feeding area, which are used to store different batches of medicines. The taking area is used to store the first-entered medicines, the feeding area is used to store the last-entered medicines, and the buffer area includes a number of partition areas. The angle of the inclined surface 3 is designed according to the actual data of the medicine bottles 2 to ensure that the medicines automatically slide down in parallel in sequence. An inlet 6 penetrating through a plate on one side of the container body 1 is provided above the end of the upper inclined surface 4 away from the inclined surface 3; the taking end 5 includes a clamp 7 corresponding to the medicine bottle 2, and a sliding groove 8 disposed inside the container body 1 and corresponding to the clamp 7 is provided below the end of the inclined surface 3 away from the upper inclined surface 4.

[0030] In this embodiment, efficient management and orderly storage of drugs are achieved through the structure and internal components of the container body 1. The internal space of the container body 1 is reasonably divided, ensuring that drugs can be stored and taken out in a first-in-first-out order, thereby optimizing the circulation efficiency of drugs and reducing drug confusion and expiration problems caused by human errors.

[0031] The design of the inclined surface 3 enables the medicine to slide down automatically to the access end 5. This automated process reduces the workload of the nursing staff when taking the medicine, and also reduces the risk of the medicine name being worn out due to frequent operations. The existence of the upper inclined surface 4 not only helps to control the speed and direction of the medicine sliding down, but also increases the structural stability of the storage device, ensuring the safety of the medicine during the sliding process.

[0032] The division of the retrieval area, buffer area and feeding area allows different batches of drugs to be clearly distinguished. In particular, the retrieval area and feeding area are used to store first-in and last-in drugs respectively. This design directly responds to the need to give priority to drugs with near-expiry dates, and effectively avoids drug waste and expiration.

[0033] The provision of the input port 6 facilitates the addition of new medicines, while the use of the card 7 and the sliding slot 8 makes the process of taking medicines more convenient and accurate. Nursing staff only need to simply operate the card 7 to easily take out the required medicines without manually searching, which greatly improves the efficiency and accuracy of taking medicines.

[0034] like Figure 4As shown, the storage method of the storage device includes the following steps: a. Place the medicines in a certain order through the input port 6 in the feeding area of ​​the container body; b. The medicine bottles 2 slide down along the upper inclined surface 4 in turn, and after contacting the inclined surface 3, change the sliding direction and continue to slide down until they contact the taking end 5; c. When taking, pull the card 7 to rise in the sliding groove 8, drive the corresponding medicine bottle 2 to leave the sliding groove 8, and facilitate taking out; d. When the medicines in the taking area are used up, the medicine bottles 2 in the buffer area slide down along the inclined surface 3 to supplement the taking area, and the feeding area supplements the buffer area; new medicines are added to the feeding area; e. Repeat the above operations. In step a, the placement of the medicines is carried out according to the expiration date of the medicines to ensure that the medicines with a near expiration date are used first.

[0035] In this embodiment, the storage device not only improves the efficiency of drug management, but also ensures the safety and rationality of drug use. Specifically, the orderly placement of drugs in step a enables the storage device to automatically realize the priority use of drugs with near expiration dates according to the order of expiration dates, which effectively avoids the waste of expired drugs and ensures that patients can use drugs with the latest expiration dates. In step b, the automatic sliding mechanism of the medicine bottle 2 reduces the need for manual operation and reduces the risk of drug confusion or damage caused by human error. The design of step c drives the corresponding single medicine bottle 2 higher than other drugs by pulling the card 7, and makes the medicine bottle 2 to be taken leave the side wall door of the container body 1. At this time, the medicine bottle 2 to be taken is pushed horizontally, which is easy to take out. This simple operation method improves the work efficiency of nursing staff and also reduces the time to take medicine in emergency situations. At the same time, when not taking, the container body 1 and the card 7 can also protect the medicine bottle 2 well to prevent accidental slipping. In step d, when the drugs in the access area are used up, the drugs in the buffer area and the feeding area are automatically replenished. This continuous replenishment mechanism ensures the continuity and stability of drug supply and reduces drug shortages caused by improper inventory management. Finally, the repeated operation of step e ensures that the storage device can continue to operate efficiently and provide a continuous supply of drugs for clinical use. Overall, this storage method not only simplifies the drug management process, but also improves the safety and effectiveness of drug use, providing an innovative drug storage solution for medical institutions.

[0036] Although the present invention has been disclosed as above in the form of a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone familiar with this technology can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the definition of the claims.
