[0079] The working principle of the present invention is:

[0080] During the operation of the automatic drug loading machine, each mechanism cooperates closely to achieve efficient and accurate drug loading tasks. First, the drugs are placed in the rectangular containing boxes of the first movable medicine box assembly and the second movable medicine box assembly of the temporary storage mechanism by manual or external equipment, and the temporary storage mechanism performs preliminary classification and storage according to the drug category, batch and other information. When the drug needs to be loaded, the first drive motor and the second drive motor drive the corresponding synchronous belt to drive the mobile plate to move and move the target drug to a position close to the conveying mechanism. At this time, the L-shaped baffle mechanism of the flip mechanism is adjusted to a suitable angle under the action of the flip drive motor to guide the drug to smoothly enter the first conveyor belt assembly and the second conveyor belt assembly. During the conveying process, if the drug position deviation or diversion is required, the cam plate assembly of the swing mechanism swings in time under the drive of the drive motor to correct the posture of the drug and ensure that it moves along the predetermined path. When the drug is delivered to a specific position, such as in front of the drug loading station, the bottom plate drive motor of the push plate conveying structure is started to drive the push plate to push the drug smoothly to the precise position for loading. The robot structure plays a role of flexible scheduling in the whole process. The first robot and the second robot move quickly on the overhead track according to the instructions of the control system, accurately grab the medicines from the temporary storage mechanism and place them in the conveying mechanism, or grab the medicines from the end of the conveying mechanism and place them in the loading equipment, and seamlessly connect with the conveying and pushing actions of other mechanisms, realizing the automation, efficiency and precision of the whole process from temporary storage to drug application, effectively improving the drug management level of medical institutions, reducing labor costs, improving the accuracy and reliability of drug application, and ensuring the safety of patients' medication.
