Detailed implementation method

[0033] Example 1

[0034] A multifunctional pharmaceutical drug drying and storage device, comprising: a box shell 1 and a drug dispensing device 2; the box shell 1 is installed outside the drug dispensing device 2; the drug dispensing device 2 includes a medicine storage box, a medicine dispensing roller 28, a driving unit, a support plate 26, and a bottom plate 23; the upper end of the bottom plate 23 is symmetrically and fixedly installed with the support plate 26, the medicine dispensing roller 28 is movably installed between the support plates 26, the driving unit is fixedly installed on the outer side of the support plate 26, and the driving unit is connected to the medicine dispensing roller 28. The front end of the bottom plate 23 is movably installed with a medicine outlet plate 22, and an extension frame 221 is arranged at the upper edge of the medicine outlet plate 22, which is mainly used to close the medicine outlet position, and at the same time, the extension frame 221 can prevent the slid out medicine from falling to the ground; the lower end of the medicine storage bin 27 is infinitely close to but not connected to the medicine dispensing roller 28, and the upper end of the medicine storage bin 27 extends out of the upper end of the box shell 1. Extending out of the upper end is to facilitate the medical staff to put in the medicine; through the arranged medicine dispensing device 2, the medicine can be output separately, and when needed, the number of medicines required by the patient can be output according to the actual needs, that is, different numbers of medicines can be output. Specifically, the number of stored medicines is controlled by the driving unit to control the simultaneous or non-simultaneous rotation of the first roller 282 and the second roller 281;

[0035] Specifically: the medicine dispensing roller 28 includes a first roller 282 and a second roller 281, the first roller 282 and the second roller 281 are movably connected, the second roller 281 is provided with a plurality of (specifically two in this embodiment, and the two are fixedly connected), and are fixedly connected to each other; a number of medicine slots 283 are circumferentially arranged on the side walls of the first roller 282 and the second roller 281; the number of stored medicines is controlled by the driving unit to control the simultaneous or non-simultaneous rotation of the first roller 282 and the second roller 281; the first roller 282 and the second roller 281 are not directly fixed on the second roller 281, but are connected in a rotating manner, and the two second rollers 281 are fixedly connected to ensure their synchronous movement through the fixed connection method; of course, the rotation of the first roller 282 and the second roller 281 is inseparable from the driving unit and needs to be driven. The driving unit includes a first motor 24 and a second motor 25. The first motor 24 is fixedly installed on one side of the support plate 26 and the output shaft is connected to the first roller 282; the second motor 25 is also fixedly installed on one side of the support plate 26 and the output shaft is connected to the second roller 281; the simultaneous or non-simultaneous driving of the first motor 24 and the second motor 25 is used to control the simultaneous movement of the first roller 282 and the second roller 281 to achieve medicine dispensing; the first motor 24 can be a servo motor or a stepper motor; preferably, it is a stepper motor, and the rotation angle can be controlled through the step angle, so as to cooperate with the medicine slots 283 arranged on the medicine dispensing roller 28 for medicine storage and output;

[0036] In addition, in this embodiment, the purpose of providing one first roller 282 and two second rollers 281 not only seems to be for discharging medicine in odd and even numbers when discharging medicine, but more importantly, it enables the medicine in the medicine storage bin 27 to come out smoothly. For example, when only one dispensing roller is provided, it is also possible to output odd and even tablets, which depends on the number of rotations of the motor. However, with a single setting, the diameter of the so-called medicine storage bin 27 is bound to decrease sharply from top to bottom or the channel itself is small. In either of these two ways, either the medicine will be blocked or the single output will cause low efficiency. Another example is when multiple dispensing rollers are provided, the width of the medicine storage bin 27 will be wide, which will make it difficult for the medicine to fall into each medicine slot 283, and may result in an empty state when finally discharging medicine. And it is not convenient for single-dose taking (small-scale taking). Therefore, in this embodiment, making it in the way of one plus two is a better choice.

[0037] Embodiment 2

[0038] In this embodiment, based on the dispensing roller 28 described in the above embodiment, the medicine slot 283 in the dispensing roller 28 can just accommodate one unpacked tablet. In the above setting, the medicine will be directly exposed, and during the rotation process, the medicine may fall due to vibration. Therefore, to solve the above technical problems, in this embodiment, a limiting cylinder 5 is sleeved outside the dispensing roller 28. The limiting cylinder 5 is fixedly installed on the support plate 26 through small sleeves 52 provided at both end faces. Two arc-shaped through slots 51 are provided on the limiting cylinder 5, corresponding to the medicine inlet and outlet positions of the dispensing roller 28 respectively, and the position during rotation is limited by the limiting cylinder 5.

[0039] At the same time, in this embodiment, based on the medicine storage bin 27 described in Embodiment 1, the medicine storage bin 27 is of an L-shaped structure and gradually slopes from top to bottom. The sloping setting can effectively roll the unpacked tablets. At the same time, a medicine feeding hole 21 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the medicine storage bin 27. The medicine feeding hole 21 is of a structure with an opening gradually increasing, which is convenient for doctors to feed medicine. A cover 3 is detachably installed on the medicine feeding hole 21, which can be sealed after the medicine is placed to reduce the influence of the external environment.

[0040] During the storage of the above-mentioned drug, two technical problems may occur. First, when the medicine box is tilted or inverted, the tablets inside the medicine storage bin 27 may pour out. Second, during the drug delivery process, since the drug itself is in a scattered and cut state, its surface is scattered, and it will collide with the inside of the medicine storage bin 27 during the drug delivery process, resulting in the falling of surface fragments or powder. Therefore, in this embodiment, to solve the above technical problems, a plurality of through holes 271 are evenly opened on the lower end surface of the medicine storage bin 27. The lower end of the through hole 271 is a hollow structure, and a scraper assembly 4 is detachably arranged at the rear end. The scraper assembly 4 is used to scrape out the fallen powder to ensure the internal cleanliness. The scraper assembly 4 includes a sealing plate 41, a scraping rod 42, a front plate 43, and an inclined plate 44. The two ends of the scraping rod 42 are respectively connected to the sealing plate 211 of the front plate 43. The inclined plate 44 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the front plate 43 and slopes from one end of the front plate 43 to one side of the bottom plate 23. The setting of the inclined plate 44 enables the powder at the bottom to be smoothly scraped off. The sealing plate 41 just fits into the square groove 15 opened at the lower end of the medicine storage bin 27. The setting of the through hole 271 can not only form a ventilation condition, but also allow the powder after collision to fall to the bottom, and then be cleaned by the scraper assembly 4.

[0041] In addition, to solve the first technical problem, in this embodiment, a sealing plate 211 is movably installed on the inner side wall at the connection between the medicine delivery hole 21 and the medicine storage bin 27. The length of the sealing plate 211 after rotating clockwise is greater than the width of the medicine storage bin 27. The sealing plate 211 rotates freely. During normal use, it will be perpendicular downward under the action of gravity, which can ensure the delivery of tablets. When inverted, under the action of gravity, and due to its free rotation condition and length, it can directly block the medicine storage bin 27, effectively preventing the internal tablets from pouring out.

[0042] Embodiment 3

[0043] In this embodiment, in order to enable the drug to roll out directly when dispensing, a wedge-shaped protrusion 231 is provided on the upper end of the bottom plate 23 corresponding to the position of the medicine dispensing roller 28. The slope of the wedge-shaped protrusion 231 gradually decreases from one side of the medicine dispensing roller 28 to the outside. By setting the wedge-shaped protrusion, the drug can roll down automatically. At the same time, the surface can be polished to reduce the static friction coefficient, making it more convenient for drug dispensing.

[0044] Embodiment 4

[0045] In this embodiment, in order to ensure a dry environment, a handle 13 is installed in the middle of the upper end of the box cover. The handle 13 is provided to facilitate the movement of medical staff. On one side of the handle 13, a control panel 12 is fixedly installed on the box shell 1. The control panel 12 controls the driving unit to work simultaneously or not simultaneously to control the dispensing of medicine. A humidity sensor 17 is fixedly installed at the upper end inside the box shell 1 to detect the humidity inside through the provided humidity sensor 17. An exhaust fan 16 is installed on one side of the upper end inside the box shell 1. A ventilation hole 11 is provided on the box shell 1 at the position corresponding to the exhaust fan 16. A square groove 14 is provided at the front end of the box shell 1 at the position corresponding to the dispensing of medicine. When the internal humidity is high, it is monitored and fed back by the humidity sensor 17, and then the control panel 12 controls the exhaust fan 16 to work for ventilation and dehumidification (this process can be realized by a corresponding control program, which belongs to the prior art and will not be elaborated here).

[0046] The preferred embodiments of the present invention disclosed above are only used to help illustrate the present invention. The preferred embodiments do not describe all the details in detail, nor do they limit the invention to the specific embodiments described above.
