[0056] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0057] Embodiment one:

[0058] Please refer to Figure 1 A comprehensive medicine dispensing control method provided in the embodiments of the present application is suitable for a comprehensive medicine dispensing device, such as Figure 3A schematic diagram of a hardware structure of a comprehensive medicine dispensing device is shown, the comprehensive medicine dispensing device comprising: a transmission system and a plurality of medicine groove devices 31; the transmission system comprises a conveying belt 33 and a lifting machine 32 for lifting the conveying belt; the conveying belt 33 is installed on one side of the medicine groove device 31 of the comprehensive medicine dispensing device in the medicine outlet direction through a support frame; the medicine groove device 31 comprises one or more combinations of the following: a packaged medicine groove device, a needle medicine groove device and a box medicine groove device;

[0059] The comprehensive medicine dispensing control method comprises steps S1 to S4:

[0060] Step S1: obtaining the medicine taking information of the user and the specification information of the comprehensive medicine dispensing device.

[0061] Specifically, the medicine taking information includes box medicine information, needle medicine information and packaged medicine information in the user's medicine list, and the specification information is the storage location information of various medicines in the comprehensive medicine dispensing device, and also includes the inventory information of each medicine.

[0062] In this embodiment, by obtaining the medicine taking information of the user and the specification information of the comprehensive medicine dispensing device, the user's demand and the equipment configuration are accurately understood, which provides basic data support for subsequent operation.

[0063] Step S2: determining the first transmission path of the lifting machine in the transmission system according to the specification information and the medicine taking information;

[0064] The first transmission path comprises: a first level position of each of the plurality of medicine groove devices and a second level position of the medicine outlet of the comprehensive medicine dispensing device.

[0065] Preferably, step S2 can be realized by the following preferred embodiment, comprising steps S21-S23, specifically as follows:

[0066] S21: obtaining the packaged medicine information, needle medicine information and box medicine information to be taken in the medicine taking information;

[0067] S22: according to the specification information, matching and determining the level position number of the medicine groove device corresponding to the packaged medicine information, the needle medicine information to be taken and the box medicine information;

[0068] S23: according to the preset medicine taking type priority condition, sequentially connecting each of the level position numbers, and taking the level position number of the medicine outlet of the comprehensive medicine dispensing device as the terminal point to obtain the first transmission path.

[0069] In the actual implementation, because the unpacked medicine and the injection medicine have the risk of being damaged by other medicines when taking medicine, when setting the priority condition, the unpacked medicine should be taken first, and the injection medicine should be taken second, that is, even if the medicines are stacked, the injection medicine is ensured to be at the top, the unpacked medicine is ensured to be in the middle layer, and the boxed medicine is ensured to be at the bottom, so as to avoid the risk of being squeezed and damaged. In addition, according to the actual situation, if the medicine outlet is located at the fourth layer and most of the medicine slots are placed at the fifth layer and above, the medicine is taken from the high layer, so that the elevator can reach the medicine slot position in the shortest path and reduce unnecessary up and down movement. Therefore, the priority condition can also be set, and medicines of the same type (such as various boxed medicines) are taken in the order of priority from the high layer.

[0070] In the preferred embodiment, steps S21-S23 analyze the unpacked medicine, injection medicine and boxed medicine information in the medicine taking information, and match the corresponding medicine slot device layer position number according to the specification information. Then, based on the preset medicine taking type priority condition (for example, first process the boxed medicine, then process the unpacked medicine, and finally process the injection medicine), the layer position numbers are connected in turn to construct a first transmission path with the layer position number of the medicine outlet as the terminal point; not only ensuring the safety of medicine distribution and avoiding the damage of heavy or large boxed medicine to small or fragile injection medicine, but also reducing the vertical movement distance of the elevator through reasonable path planning, speeding up the distribution, reducing mechanical wear and prolonging the service life of the equipment.

[0071] Step S3: According to the first transmission path, the elevator is controlled to be driven in turn, and when the elevator is driven to the first layer position, the medicine slot device corresponding to the current layer position is controlled to distribute the medicine to the transmission belt.

[0072] Preferably, step S3 can be implemented through the following preferred embodiment, including steps S31-S34, which are as follows:

[0073] S31: When the elevator is driven to the layer position of the boxed medicine slot device, the camera device of the elevator is controlled to be driven to the current medicine slot device corresponding to the boxed medicine information to be taken in the medicine taking information.

[0074] S32: According to the camera device, the medicine image of the current medicine slot device is obtained, and according to the preset template matching recognition algorithm, whether the information of the medicine image is consistent with the unpacked medicine information to be taken is recognized. If they are consistent, a first control signal is sent to the boxed medicine slot device, so that the boxed medicine slot device distributes the corresponding medicine.

[0075] In the actual implementation, as Figure 7The schematic diagram of the elevator and the conveying belt is shown. The camera 35 is installed on the elevator 32, which can rotate to adjust the angle for shooting the medicine image. Before identification, the packaging of various box medicines can be collected as templates. After shooting the actual image, the comparison and identification can be performed through the feature point matching method. In addition, as shown in Figure 4 The structure schematic diagram of the box medicine tank device is shown. The box medicine tank device includes a horizontal medicine tank 41, a motor-driven belt device 43, and a baffle 42. When the first control signal is received, the motor drives the belt to drive the baffle 42 to move, and pushes the box medicine on the horizontal medicine tank 41 out of the horizontal medicine tank 41, to complete the medicine distribution.

[0076] In the preferred embodiment, steps S31-S32 adjust the position of the camera to align with the current medicine tank device, to ensure the accuracy of image acquisition. Then, the camera captures the medicine image, and uses a preset template matching identification algorithm to verify whether the medicine meets the expectation. If the matching is successful, a first control signal is sent to realize accurate distribution of the box medicine. This confirmation mechanism effectively reduces the medicine confusion problem caused by medicine adding errors, and ensures the safety and reliability of the distribution.

[0077] S33: When the elevator is driven to the level position of the injection medicine tank device, a second control signal is sent to the injection medicine tank device, so that the injection medicine tank device distributes the corresponding medicine.

[0078] In specific implementation, as shown in Figure 5 The structure schematic diagram of the injection medicine tank device is shown. The injection medicine tank device includes a motor-driven clamping structure 51 and a sensor 52. When the second control signal is received, the motor drives the clamping structure 51 to drive to the sensor 52. After the sensor 52 obtains the sensing signal, a release instruction is sent, so that the spring on the clamping structure 51 releases the injection medicine and falls away from the injection medicine tank device from the side of the sensor 52, to complete the medicine distribution.

[0079] In the preferred embodiment, after receiving the signal that the elevator reaches the specified position, a second control signal is immediately sent to the injection medicine tank device to trigger its preparation for distribution. Through the automatic control logic, the risk of operation errors is reduced, and it is ensured that the injection medicine can be safely distributed at the correct time.

[0080] S34: When the elevator is driven to the level position of the sub-packaged medicine tank device, a third control signal is sent to the sub-packaged medicine tank device, so that the sub-packaged medicine tank device distributes the corresponding medicine.

[0081] In specific implementation, as shown in Figure 6The structure diagram of the sub-packaged medicine tank device is shown, which comprises a slide 61 driven by a motor and a sensor, and the slide has a plurality of compartment structures 62, and the sensor is installed at the bottom of each compartment structure 62, when the medicine is placed in the compartment structure 62, the sensor is blocked and the presence of the medicine is recognized, when the sub-packaged medicine tank device receives the third control signal, the motor drives the slide 61 to rotate so that the medicine in the compartment structure 62 is thrown out of the sub-packaged medicine tank device, and the medicine dispensing is completed.

[0082] In the preferred embodiment, step S34 sends a third control signal to the sub-packaged medicine tank device to trigger its preparation for distribution after receiving a signal that the elevator reaches the specified position; through the automatic control logic, human intervention is reduced, the risk of operation error is reduced, and it is ensured that the sub-packaged medicine can be distributed at the correct time.

[0083] Step S4: When the elevator is driven to the second level position, the transmission belt is controlled to drive the medicine on the transmission belt to the medicine outlet, and the medicine dispensing is completed.

[0084] In specific implementation, as Figure 3 The hardware structure diagram of the comprehensive medicine dispensing device is shown, and the comprehensive medicine dispensing device is also provided with a medicine outlet 34, after all the medicines to be taken are distributed to the transmission belt 33, the elevator 32 drives the transmission belt 33 to the level position where the medicine outlet 34 is located, and then the motor drives the transmission belt 33 to convey the medicine to the medicine outlet 34, and the medicine dispensing is completed.

[0085] In this embodiment, step S4 completes the entire distribution process by conveying the medicine from the transmission belt to the medicine outlet.

[0086] In summary, compared with the prior art, the above embodiments of the present application have the following beneficial effects: by obtaining the medicine taking information of the user and the specification information of the comprehensive medicine dispensing device, the user demand and equipment configuration are accurately understood, and basic data support is provided for subsequent operation; then, the first transmission path of the elevator is constructed according to these information, which ensures the optimal planning of mechanical action, reduces unnecessary movement, and improves efficiency; when the elevator reaches the specified position, the medicine tank device is accurately controlled to distribute the medicine to the transmission belt, which ensures that each medicine can be correctly delivered; finally, the entire distribution process is completed by conveying the medicine from the transmission belt to the medicine outlet.
