[0022] The temperature control module is used to control and adjust the temperature inside the box body. The sterile control module is used to control the sterile state of the drugs inside the box body. The environmental monitoring module is used to monitor the state of the drug storage environment in real time. The drug tracking module is used to track the drug distribution process. The handover list generation module is used to generate an electronic handover list of drug information during drug distribution. The control module is respectively connected to and controls the temperature control module, the sterile control module, the environmental monitoring module, the drug tracking module and the handover list generation module. The wireless communication module is used for remote connection between the control module and the hospital information system for information interaction. The power supply module is used for power supply of the system.

[0023] The temperature control module includes a semiconductor refrigeration chip, a micro fan and a circulation air duct. The semiconductor refrigeration chip is embedded in the inner wall of the box body. The box wall of the box body is provided with an accommodation space for arranging the circulation air duct. The inner wall of the box body is provided with a plurality of circulation air holes communicated with the circulation air duct. The micro fan is arranged at the air outlet of the circulation air duct. A wind guide plate is also arranged in the circulation air duct. Through the cooperation of the micro fan and the circulation air duct, uniform air circulation is realized, the balance of temperature distribution is ensured, the drugs are ensured to be within the set temperature range (2-8 °C), and the influence of local temperature fluctuation on drug quality is avoided. The combination of the semiconductor refrigeration chip, the micro fan and the circulation air duct automatically adjusts the temperature according to environmental changes, realizes precise control and uniform distribution of the temperature inside the box body, and ensures that the drugs are always in a suitable cold chain environment during distribution.

[0024] The aseptic control module includes a HEPA filter and an ultraviolet disinfection lamp. The HEPA filter is used to remove suspended particles in the air inside the box, and the ultraviolet disinfection lamp is used for irradiation disinfection inside the box. Before each drug loading and after the delivery is completed, the HEPA filter is first activated to remove suspended particles in the air, and then the ultraviolet disinfection lamp is irradiated to ensure an aseptic environment. It can be automatically disinfected regularly or as needed, ensuring the cleanliness and aseptic state of the air inside the box and preventing drugs from being contaminated during the delivery process.

[0025] The environmental monitoring module includes several temperature and humidity sensors, which are respectively set in each storage compartment to monitor the actual temperature and humidity of each drug in real time. There is a temperature and humidity sensor in each storage compartment, which can monitor the actual temperature and humidity of the drug in real time, and upload the data to the hospital information system through the wireless communication module, timely detect and alarm abnormal environmental parameters, and ensure that the drug is stored in a suitable environment.

[0026] The drug tracking module includes an RFID scanner and a GPS locator. The RFID scanner is used to scan and record the drug batches and types stored in the box and upload them to the hospital information system in real time. The GPS locator is used to track the delivery location of the box in real time and upload it to the hospital information system in real time, ensuring the traceability of the drug delivery process.

[0027] The drug information generated by the electronic handover form includes drug types, batch numbers, temperature and humidity records, handover personnel information, and handover time, and is uploaded to the hospital information system in real time. It reduces the use of paper documents, improves the handover efficiency and accuracy, and avoids information omission or error.

[0028] The control module includes a touch screen and a single-chip microcomputer controller. The touch screen is inlaid on the outer wall of the box and controls the delivery box system through connecting the single-chip microcomputer controller, such as temperature setting, real-time monitoring, abnormal warning, and generating transfer handover forms.

[0029] The box body includes an aseptic layer, a heat insulation layer, and a strength layer (medical-grade stainless steel or high-strength plastic) from the inside to the outside, ensuring the asepticity of the drug, temperature stability, and the structural strength of the box body. An absorbent pad is laid on the inner bottom of the box body, and a shock-proof and buffer pad (such as medical-grade sponge or silica gel) is laid on the inner wall of the storage compartment, effectively damping and anti-slip. Even if there is a slight breakage, the absorbent pad can absorb the liquid medicine to prevent the spread of pollution.

[0030] The bottom of the box body is provided with an anti-slip structure, which is suitable for different delivery environments (such as flat ground, steps, trolleys, etc.), and avoids damage to drugs caused by sliding or tilting.

[0031] The specific use process of this embodiment is as follows:

[0032] Drug preparation and loading: After the pharmacist prepares the drugs in the PIVAS, the drugs are put into the intelligent medicine delivery box through the sterile channel. After setting the temperature and destination on the touch screen interface, the system automatically activates temperature control and aseptic protection.

[0033] Authorization locking and transfer start: Authorized medical staff use the ID card or password verification to complete the locking of the box body to prevent unauthorized personnel from opening it. The locking process simultaneously triggers the automatic generation of a transfer handover form, recording data such as the transfer start time, drug information, and operator.

[0034] Real-time monitoring during the delivery process: The delivery box monitors real-time status data such as location, temperature, and humidity. In case of abnormal situations, it automatically issues an alarm and sends information to the HIS system. The system automatically records temperature fluctuations and positioning information to ensure the safety of drugs.

[0035] Handover and automatic generation of handover form: After arriving at the destination, authorized personnel open the box body with the ID card or password and confirm the drug collection. The system automatically generates an electronic handover form containing information such as drug information, handover personnel, handover time, and the temperature inside the box, and uploads it to the HIS in real-time to ensure full traceability.

[0036] Disinfection and return to standby state: After the drug handover is completed, the system automatically starts the ultraviolet disinfection program, cleans the internal environment, and returns to standby in the PIVAS. After the disinfection is completed, a handover form is generated again to record the handover end time.

[0037] The above is only the preferred specific implementation mode of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
