Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medicine storage aids, in particular to an intelligent medicine cabinet. Background Art

[0002] Smart medicine cabinet is a kind of medical equipment that combines modern information technology and automated management. It is mainly used for efficient management and distribution of drugs. Its core role is to improve the safety of drug use and management efficiency, reduce human errors, and provide convenience for medical staff and patients. This type of smart medicine cabinet is usually composed of cabinet, storage module, control system, user interface and security system. The cabinet is made of corrosion-resistant materials to ensure the safety and stability of the drug storage environment. The storage module has multiple independent drug storage spaces and is equipped with temperature and humidity monitoring devices to maintain the best storage conditions for drugs. As the core of the smart medicine cabinet, the control system integrates a microprocessor and embedded software, and is responsible for functions such as drug warehousing, outbound and inventory monitoring. The user interface provides medical staff and patients with a simple and intuitive operation method. Through the touch screen or button, drug information can be quickly queried. When medical staff need to take drugs, they only need to scan the QR code of the drug, and the system will automatically identify and control the corresponding storage module to open; when entering the warehouse, the new drug information is also entered into the database by scanning, and the inventory status is updated in real time;

[0003] As disclosed in the authorization announcement number CN117800001B, an automatic medicine dispensing mechanism of an intelligent medicine cabinet includes: a box body; a driving component for controlling the movement of a manipulator; a cargo control device for clamping the medicines on a placement plate away from the longitudinal axis of the box body and moving out one box of medicines at a time under pressure; a lifting device, which is connected to the top of the box body through a support plate; the lifting device includes: a telescopic part, which is connected to the top of the box body through a support plate, the telescopic part is connected to a side plate through a card plate, and the side plate is connected to a rotating rod through a rotating plate; a discharging device, which receives the medicines that slide down from the lifting device through a spiral staircase and transports the medicines to the discharging port, clamps the medicines through the cargo control device to prevent them from falling, and changes the rotating plate through the lifting device. At an inclination angle, all medicine bottles are thrown obliquely into the slide at one time and transported, which is safe and efficient. However, the above technical solution is mainly aimed at the drug dispensing and taking stages of the smart medicine cabinet during use. After the smart medicine cabinet has been used for a period of time, the staff is required to replenish the medicines in the medicine cabinet in time. At this time, the staff needs to replenish the corresponding medicines into different medicine boxes one by one. It can still be operated normally at the bottom of the medicine cabinet, but it is quite troublesome to replenish the medicines at the top of the medicine cabinet, that is, the staff needs to use ladders or other auxiliary equipment to reach it, especially since there are many kinds of medicines in the smart medicine cabinet. The increase in the number and types of medicines requires the staff to spend a lot of time to classify and find the corresponding medicines when replenishing the medicines, and the efficiency of replenishing medicines is low.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. 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.

[0031] Embodiment 1, by Figures 1 to 5 The present invention includes an intelligent medicine cabinet body 1, and a vertical beam 3 is installed on the front and rear sides of the bottom of the intelligent medicine cabinet body 1. A side guard plate 2 is fixed on the outer wall of one side of the intelligent medicine cabinet body 1. The two vertical beams 3 separate the left and right sides of the interior of the intelligent medicine cabinet body 1 into a loading area 301 and a medicine storage area 302. The vertical beams 3 are used to separate the left and right sides of the cabinet of the intelligent medicine cabinet body 1 into a loading area 301 and a medicine storage area 302. The separation of the loading area 301 and the medicine storage area 302 by the partition design makes the medicine more orderly during the replenishment process, avoiding the confusion caused by human intervention;

[0032] The loading area 301 is evenly spaced in the vertical direction and is provided with a plurality of pulley-type Y-axis medication structures 4 for carrying medicines and forcing the medicines to move forward. A medicine storage cavity 401 is provided between two adjacent pulley-type Y-axis medication structures 4. A first stepper motor 5 for driving the pulley-type Y-axis medication structure 4 is provided on one side outer wall of the intelligent medicine cabinet body 1. In a traditional medicine storage system, the replenishment of medicines may cause crowding of existing medicines and increase the difficulty of taking medicines. By forcing the medicines to move forward by the first stepper motor 5 and the pulley-type Y-axis medication structure 4, the medicines not only become more accessible visually, but also the staff can find the required medicines more easily when taking them later, reducing the time of searching and taking medicines. In addition, the pulley-type Y-axis medication structure 4 and the first stepper motor 5 are designed with future replenishment needs in mind. By moving forward, sufficient space is reserved for the replenishment of subsequent medicines, which can effectively cope with the increase in storage needs that may occur in the future.

[0033] A screw lifting module 7 is installed in the loading area 301, and an X-axis double-stage feeding module 8 is installed at the movable end of the screw lifting module 7, and a Y-axis medicine withdrawal mechanism 9 is installed at the movable end of the X-axis double-stage feeding module 8, and a flip-type unloading mechanism 10 for accommodating medicines and making the medicines tilt downward is installed at the bottom end of the Y-axis medicine withdrawal mechanism 9;

[0034] A box pressing mechanism 11 is installed on one side outer wall of the Y-axis medicine withdrawal mechanism 9, and applies pressure to the medicine on the flip-type unloading mechanism 10. A control panel 6 is installed on one side outer wall of the cabinet door of the intelligent medicine cabinet body 1. The output end of the control panel 6 is electrically connected to the first stepper motor 5, the screw lifting module 7, the X-axis two-stage feeding module 8, the Y-axis medicine withdrawal mechanism 9, the flip-type unloading mechanism 10 and the input end of the box pressing mechanism 11;

[0035] The screw lifting module 7 includes a screw rotatably installed on one side of the bottom of the smart medicine cabinet body 1, a nut pair installed at the threaded part of one end of the screw surface, and a trapezoidal support installed on the outer wall of one side of the nut pair. The back of the nut pair is slidably connected to the inner wall of one side of the smart medicine cabinet body 1. The screw lifting module 7 also includes a second stepper motor installed on the top of the smart medicine cabinet body 1. The output end of the second stepper motor is fixedly connected to the top of the screw through a coupling. Guide columns extending upward are fixed on both sides of the bottom of the smart medicine cabinet body 1. The trapezoidal support is slidably installed on the two guide columns. The screw mechanism of the screw lifting module 7 lifts the medicine from the loading area 301 to the pulley-type Y-axis drug delivery structure 4 in the medicine storage area 302, so that the medicine is automatically lifted to the required height, avoiding the danger of staff climbing high places and ensuring the safety of employees.

[0036] Embodiment 2, based on embodiment 1, Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 It is given that the X-axis two-stage feeding module 8 includes a long plate 801 fixed on the top of the trapezoidal support, an X-axis pulley traction structure 804 arranged on the surface of the long plate 801, and a screw linear module 806 installed on the moving end of the X-axis pulley traction structure 804. The X-axis two-stage feeding module 8 also includes a worm gear reduction motor 805 installed on one side of the back of the long plate 801. The worm gear reduction motor 805 is used to drive the X-axis pulley traction structure 804 to work. A slide groove 201 for the screw linear module 806 to lift and slide is arranged on the outer wall of one side of the side guard plate 2. The slide groove 201 allows the X-axis two-stage feeding module 8 to slide normally under the drive of the screw lifting module 7, so that the X-axis two-stage feeding module 8 can efficiently and quickly deliver the medicines on the flip-type unloading mechanism 10 and the box pressing mechanism 11 into the medicine storage cavity 401;

[0037] A back seat 802 is fixed on both sides of the back of the long board 801. A dovetail-shaped sliding sleeve 803 is installed on the outer wall of the back seat 802 away from the long board 801. A guide rail with the same length as the guide column is fixed on the inner wall of one side of the intelligent medicine cabinet body 1. The dovetail-shaped sliding sleeve 803 and the guide rail are slidably matched.

[0038] During the operation of the X-axis two-stage feeding module 8, the motors in the worm gear reduction motor 805 and the lead screw linear module 806 work according to the direction, speed, angle and response time set by the control panel 6, and then the rotary power of the worm gear reduction motor 805 is transmitted to the X-axis pulley traction structure 804, and the X-axis pulley traction structure 804 drives the lead screw linear module 806, the Y-axis medicine withdrawal mechanism 9, the flip-type unloading mechanism 10, and the box pressing mechanism 11 to perform the first X-axis displacement until the X-axis pulley traction structure Structure 804 moves the lead screw linear module 806 to the corresponding medicine storage chamber 401, and the lead screw linear module 806 continues to make the Y-axis medicine withdrawal mechanism 9, the flip-type unloading mechanism 10, the box pressing mechanism 11 and the loaded medicine perform the second X-axis displacement in the medicine storage chamber 401. The double-stage feeding structural design allows coarse positioning and precise positioning within a larger range, so that the medicine box can be quickly moved to the approximate position, and then fine-tuned to reach the precise unloading position, thereby improving the accuracy of medicine replenishment in the medicine storage chamber 401.

[0039] Embodiment 3, based on embodiment 2, Fig. 9 and Fig.10 It is shown that the box pressing mechanism 11 includes a double-rod cylinder 1101 fixed on the outer wall of one side of the inverted L-shaped arm 902 and a pressing plate 1102 fixed at the bottom end of the piston rod of the double-rod cylinder 1101. When the staff fills the medicine boxes into the flip-type unloading mechanism 10, the medicine boxes are neatly placed on the lower right-angle table 1004. When the medicine boxes are placed, the staff turns on the double-rod cylinder 1101 in the box pressing mechanism 11 to work, and the double-rod cylinder 1101 drives the pressing plate 1102 to move downward until the pressing plate 1102 can apply pressure to the medicine box, which prevents the medicine from vibrating and shifting due to the lifting and translation actions during the filling process, thereby ensuring the classification and neatness of the medicines.

[0040] The Y-axis medicine withdrawal mechanism 9 includes a Z-shaped right-angle frame 901 fixed on the outer wall of one side of the moving end of the screw linear module 806, an inverted L-shaped arm 902 slidably installed on the bottom wall of the Z-shaped right-angle frame 901, and a first cylinder 903 installed on the outer wall of one side of the Z-shaped right-angle frame 901. The top end of the piston rod of the first cylinder 903 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one side of the inverted L-shaped arm 902. When the Y-axis medicine withdrawal mechanism 9, the flip-type unloading mechanism 10, the box pressing mechanism 11 and the medicine box are sent into the corresponding medicine storage cavity 401, the first cylinder 903 drives the inverted L-shaped arm 902, the flip-type unloading mechanism 10, and the box pressing mechanism 11 to move forward a distance in the Y-axis direction. During this process, the Z-shaped right-angle frame 901 and the inverted L-shaped arm 902 slide relative to each other to prevent the unloaded medicine from falling from the pulley-type Y-axis drug delivery structure 4 due to the backward position of the flip-type unloading mechanism 10 and the box pressing mechanism 11;

[0041] The flip-type unloading mechanism 10 includes a horizontal plate 1001 fixed on the inner wall of one side of the inverted L-shaped arm 902, an axle seat 1002 fixed on both sides of the bottom end of the horizontal plate 1001, a rotating shaft 1003 rotatably installed between the two axle seats 1002, and a lower right-angle platform 1004 fixed on the surface of the rotating shaft 1003, the lower right-angle platform 1004 is located below the pressing plate 1102, the flip-type unloading mechanism 10 also includes a pneumatic gear rack unloading structure 1005 installed on the inner wall of one side of the inverted L-shaped arm 902 for driving the rotating shaft 1003 to rotate, the pneumatic gear rack unloading structure 1005 includes a second cylinder installed on the inner wall of one side of the inverted L-shaped arm 902, a rack fixed at the bottom end of the second flagpole piston rod, and a gear installed on one end of the surface of the rotating shaft 1003 and meshing with the rack, the lower right-angle platform 1004 and the pressing plate 1102 are both made of hard plastic components;

[0042] The pneumatic rack and gear tilting structure 1005 utilizes the second cylinder and the rack to convert the linear vertical motion of the rack into the rotational motion of the gear and the rotating shaft 1003, so that the lower right-angle platform 1004 deflects downward around the rotating shaft 1003, so that the medicine box on the lower right-angle platform 1004 slides onto the wheeled Y-axis medication structure 4 by itself under the action of gravity and the slope of the inclined surface. The flipping mechanism of the flipping unloading mechanism 10 ensures that the medicine falls in a stable posture, reducing the risk of collision and damage. It can efficiently and safely handle medicines of various forms and ensure the integrity of the medicines during the entire circulation process.

[0043] When the embodiment of the present application is in use, the staff first prepares the medicine to be replenished, so that the same medicine is loaded onto the flip-type unloading mechanism 10 through the feeding port on the surface of the side guard plate 2. In this process, the medicine is placed on the flip-type unloading mechanism 10 in an orderly manner. Then the staff turns on the box pressing mechanism 11 through the control panel 6 to operate, and uses the box pressing mechanism 11 to stabilize the medicine box placed on the flip-type unloading mechanism 10 so that the subsequent replenishment operation can be carried out stably. When the medicine loading is completed, the staff sends a signal through the control panel 6 and starts the screw lifting module 7, which is electrically The machine drives the screw rod to rotate, so that the medicine is lifted from the loading area 301 to the appropriate height of the medicine storage chamber 401. The lifting process should be smooth to ensure that the medicine is not damaged. After the medicine is lifted to the height position corresponding to the pulley-type Y-axis drug delivery structure 4, the control panel 6 controls the X-axis two-stage feeding module 8 to start the action. The module has a two-stage moving ability to ensure that the medicine loaded by the flip-type unloading mechanism 10 and the box pressing mechanism 11 reaches the predetermined unloading position stably and accurately during the movement, that is, the medicine storage chamber 401. This step ensures that the medicine can be smoothly carried out in the next operation. When the medicine reaches the unloading position of the medicine storage chamber 401, the Y-axis The drug return mechanism 9 is started, and it pushes the drug forward for a distance until the flip-type unloading mechanism 10, the box pressing mechanism 11 and the loaded drug are located above the belt-type Y-axis drug delivery structure 4. Once the drug reaches the top of the drug delivery structure, the box pressing mechanism 11 releases the drug box, and the flip-type unloading mechanism 10 starts to work. The flip-type unloading mechanism 10 actively flips the drug downward, so that the drug is smoothly unloaded into the belt-type Y-axis drug delivery structure 4 under the action of gravity and the slope of the flip-type unloading mechanism 10. This step ensures that the drug will not be stuck due to gravity or friction, ensuring the smooth sliding of the drug. In this process, the box pressing mechanism 11 The medicine box is no longer limited. After the medicine is unloaded, the wheeled Y-axis medicine delivery structure 4 starts to rotate, and the control panel 6 controls the wheeled Y-axis medicine delivery structure 4 to release the medicine to the front position of the medicine storage chamber 401 according to a preset trajectory. That is, the part of the medicine replenished is moved forward a certain distance. On the one hand, it is convenient for the staff to take and manage it later, and on the other hand, it reserves enough space for the next replenishment of medicine. During the whole process, the staff continuously records the replenishment information of the medicine through the control panel 6, including the type, quantity and time of the medicine, so as to realize efficient and accurate batch replenishment operation of medicines through the orderly cooperation of various modules.

[0044] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.

[0045] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
