[0001] This invention relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine delivery technology, specifically to a robot-based intelligent traditional Chinese medicine delivery box. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) refers to natural medicines and their processed substitutes that are guided by TCM theory, have a unique theoretical system and application forms, and are used to prevent and treat diseases and have rehabilitation and health care effects. It mainly includes plant medicines, animal medicines, and mineral medicines. Currently, after doctors have dispensed the medicine to patients, they start to decoct and package the TCM, putting the decocted TCM into individual packages for the convenience of patients. If some patients have difficulty walking or going out, doctors need to deliver the TCM.
[0003] However, existing Chinese medicine delivery equipment has some problems in use. It is bulky and difficult to move. Different patients require different Chinese medicines, and the existing equipment cannot distinguish the medicines for different patients, which makes it difficult to pack and deliver them. The existing equipment usually only has the function of storing Chinese medicine. If there is an emergency and it is necessary to decoct and pack Chinese medicine outside, the doctor will not be able to carry out the operation without the necessary equipment, thus reducing the applicability of the device.

[0007] Preferably, a U-shaped support plate is provided in both U-shaped grooves. The bottom of the U-shaped support plate has several ventilation holes. Horizontal grooves are provided on both the left and right sides of the movable frame near the top. The horizontal grooves are interconnected with the adjacent U-shaped grooves. Connecting rods are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the U-shaped support plate near the top. The end of the connecting rod away from the U-shaped support plate passes through the adjacent horizontal groove and is fixedly connected to a fixing plate.
[0008] Preferably, an L-shaped limiting plate is fixedly connected to the side of the horizontal plate away from the stepped fixed plate near the left side. An electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to each of the L-shaped limiting plates. A connecting fixing plate is fixedly connected to the right end of each of the electric telescopic rods.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-13 The present invention provides a technical solution:
[0030] Example 1:
[0031] A robot-based intelligent traditional Chinese medicine delivery box includes a rectangular frame 1. Second hooks 11 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the rectangular frame 1 near each of the four corners. Connecting plates 9 are located near the left and right sides of the bottom of the rectangular frame 1. First hooks 10 are fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plates 9 near the front and rear sides. Each adjacent first hook 10 and second hook 11 has a limiting ring 15 inside its cavity. A through groove is formed on the outer edge of each limiting ring 15, and a swing rod 16 is located within the through groove. A hinge is provided on one side of each swing rod 16. The swing rod 16 is movably connected to the outer edge of the adjacent limiting ring 15 via the hinge. The two adjacent limiting rings 15 share a common... A vertical rod 12 is fixedly connected. The inner cavity of the connecting plate 9 is provided with through holes. The top and bottom of the through holes are provided with grooves. The inner cavity of the through holes is provided with L-shaped rods 19. The top and bottom of the L-shaped rods 19 are fixedly connected with protruding plates 28. The protruding plates 28 are located in the inner cavities of adjacent grooves. The bottom of the rectangular frame 1 is provided with a collecting mechanism. Two support rods 2 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the rectangular frame 1. The bottom ends of the two adjacent support rods 2 are fixedly connected to a base plate 3. The bottom of the base plate 3 is fixedly connected to casters 13 near the front and rear sides. The top of the base plate 3 is fixedly connected to L-shaped plates 4. The bottom of the L-shaped plates 4 is fixedly connected to three diagonal rods 14.
[0032] By placing adjacent limiting rings 15 onto the surfaces of the first hook 10 and the second hook 11 respectively, the movable frame 5 can be limited and connected, and the device can be moved. The device can be moved by casters 13. When it is necessary to steam and package Chinese medicine, the operator can sit on the L-shaped plate 4 to carry out the operation.
[0033] Example 2:
[0034] The collecting mechanism includes two horizontal plates 7, which are arranged one behind the other. The horizontal plates 7 are located between two adjacent L-shaped rods 19. The left and right sides of the horizontal plates 7 are fixedly connected to one end of the adjacent L-shaped rods 19. Several fixed posts 29 are fixedly connected to the bottom of each horizontal plate 7. The bottom ends of the several fixed posts 29 on the same side are fixedly connected to a movable frame 5. The two movable frames 5 are fitted together. U-shaped grooves are opened on the corresponding sides of the two movable frames 5. The two U-shaped grooves are interconnected. The bottom of the inner cavity of each movable frame 5 is opened with a slot. The slot is interconnected with the adjacent U-shaped groove. A stepped fixed plate 26 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of each movable frame 5. Several partitions 27 are fixedly connected to the outer edge of the stepped fixed plate 26. A T-shaped groove is opened on the top of each horizontal plate 7. A T-shaped block 23 is movably connected in the T-shaped groove. A robotic arm 8 is fixedly connected to the top of each T-shaped block 23. A control panel 6 is fixedly connected to the side of the movable frame 5 away from the stepped fixed plate 26.
[0035] Two U-shaped grooves are provided with a U-shaped support plate 17. The bottom of the U-shaped support plate 17 has several ventilation holes. The left and right sides of the movable frame 5 are provided with horizontal grooves near the top. The horizontal grooves are interconnected with the adjacent U-shaped grooves. The left and right sides of the U-shaped support plate 17 are fixedly connected with connecting rods 25 near the top. The end of the connecting rod 25 away from the U-shaped support plate 17 passes through the adjacent horizontal groove and is fixedly connected with a fixing plate 24. The side of the horizontal plate 7 away from the stepped fixing plate 26 is fixedly connected with an L-shaped limiting plate 20 near the left side. The L-shaped limiting plate 20 is fixedly connected with an electric telescopic rod 21. The right end of the electric telescopic rod 21 is fixedly connected with a connecting fixing plate 22. The top of the connecting fixing plate 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the adjacent robotic arm 8. The left and right sides of the U-shaped support plate 17 are provided with triangular grooves near the bottom. The U-shaped support plate 17 is provided with several preparation devices 18.
[0036] The steamed and packaged Chinese medicines are placed on stepped fixed plates 26 in different compartments. The control panel 6 operates the electric telescopic rod 21 to drive the robotic arm 8 to move left and right. The control panel 6 inputs instructions to control the robotic arm 8 to pick up the Chinese medicines from the patients. Different compartments contain Chinese medicines for different patients, and different patients need different amounts of Chinese medicine. Placing the Chinese medicines on the corresponding number areas on the stepped fixed plates 26 can better control the robotic arm 8 to pick up the Chinese medicines. When it is necessary to decoct and package the Chinese medicines, the movable frame 5 is moved left and right, and the U-shaped support plate 17 is exposed, so that the operator can decoct and package the Chinese medicines.
[0037] The control panel 6, the robotic arm 8, and the electric telescopic pole 21 are all existing technologies, and their working principles are well-known and known to those skilled in the art.
[0038] Working principle: When the device starts working, the operator takes out the vertical rod 12, which moves the adjacent limiting ring 15. Adjusting the upper swing rod 16 causes the upper limiting ring 15 to fit onto the surface of the second hook 11. Adjusting the lower swing rod 16 causes the lower limiting ring 15 to fit onto the surface of the first hook 10, thus limiting the connection between the two movable frames 5, facilitating their movement. The operator pushes the device to move it via the casters 13. After moving to the patient's location, a command is input on the control panel 6, such as "first column, first position," and the electric telescopic rod 21 begins to operate. 21 drives the robotic arm 8 and T-block 23 to move to the left via the connecting fixed plate 22. When the robotic arm 8 moves to the first vertical row, the electric telescopic rod 21 stops working and the robotic arm 8 starts working. The robotic arm 8 takes the Chinese medicine in the first grid of the first vertical row and delivers the Chinese medicine to the patient. If there are other Chinese medicines in the vertical row corresponding to the patient, the operator can input "first grid of the first vertical row, second grid, third grid, fourth grid and fifth grid" when taking the Chinese medicines, so as to take the Chinese medicines in the corresponding vertical row in sequence. The partition 27 divides the stepped fixed plate 26 into multiple spaces to facilitate the storage of Chinese medicines for different patients.
[0039] When it is necessary to urgently decoct and package traditional Chinese medicine outdoors, the operator pulls the movable frames 5 on the front and back sides, and the two movable frames 5 move away from each other, exposing the U-shaped support plates 17 inside the two movable frames 5. The connecting rod 25 and the fixed plate 24 limit the U-shaped support plates 17. The operator sits on the L-shaped plate 4 and operates the preparation device 18 to decoct and package the traditional Chinese medicine. The space exposed above the device facilitates the exhaust of steam, and the holes at the bottom of the U-shaped support plate 17 can allow impurities generated during the decoction process to leak out, ensuring the cleanliness of the device.
