[0037] Example 1

[0038] See also Figure 1-16 As shown, this embodiment discloses an inventory device for medicine storage tubes, including a medicine inlet 8a and a medicine outlet 8b, and also includes: a collection rack 1 and an inventory device provided at the end of the collection rack 1; the collection rack 1 is used to move the medicine storage tubes from the medicine inlet 8a to the inventory device; the inventory device includes a scanning mechanism 3 and a sorting mechanism 4 provided with at least one recovery box 43, the sorting mechanism 4 includes a sorting rack 41 and at least one sorting switch 42 provided on the sorting rack 41, the scanning mechanism 3 is provided between the collection rack 1 and the sorting mechanism 4, and is used to detect information of the medicine storage tubes and perform inventory, and the sorting mechanism 4 is used to control the medicine storage tubes to slide along the sorting rack 41 to the medicine outlet 8b according to the detected medicine storage tube information, or drive the sorting switch 42 to open so that the medicine storage tubes fall from the sorting rack 41 to the recovery box 43.

[0039] The drug storage tube inventory device of this embodiment can inventory the drug storage tubes according to the drug information list to classify and store the drug storage tubes by drug name, drug type, or drug expiration date. It can also count and inventory the drug storage tubes to check the number of drug storage tubes. The following is an implementation example of inventory according to the drug information list: the drug storage tubes storing the drugs are placed into the collection rack 1 through the drug inlet 8a. The drug storage tubes are moved from the collection rack 1 to the scanning mechanism 3. The scanning mechanism 3 scans the labels on the drug storage tube walls to obtain drug storage tube information, including but not limited to the drug name and drug expiration date. After obtaining the drug storage tube information, the scanning mechanism 3 determines whether the drug has expired and, based on the determination result, drives the corresponding recovery box 43 to open. For example, drugs that have expired are placed in one recovery box 43, and drugs within the expiration date are placed in the remaining recovery boxes 43.

[0040] The medicine storage tube inventory equipment of this embodiment realizes the collection of medicine storage tubes by setting up a collection rack 1, and automatically scans the medicine storage tubes by using a scanning mechanism 3 to detect the information of the medicine storage tubes. It can also use a sorting mechanism 4 to control the movement of the medicine storage tubes to the medicine outlet or recycling box according to the information of the medicine storage tubes to complete the sorting, thereby realizing the differentiated storage of medicines, greatly improving the efficiency of medicine inventory, and avoiding the high workload and risk of misoperation caused by manual operation, meeting the needs of medical institutions for refined and efficient management of medicines, and being beneficial to medical institutions to reasonably control medicine inventory and reduce waste of medical resources.

[0041] Specifically, the collection rack 1 is provided with a first chute 11, and the sorting rack 41 is provided with a second chute 411; the first chute 11 and the second chute 411 are arranged at an angle. More specifically, the end of the first chute 11 near the inventory device is lower than the end near the medicine inlet 8a; the end of the second chute 411 near the scanning mechanism 3 is lower than the end near the medicine outlet 8b. The end of the first chute 11 near the inventory device is lower than the other end, so that the first chute 11 forms an inclined angle, ensuring that the medicine storage tube can naturally slide along the first chute 11 to the inventory device, so that the scanning mechanism 3 can receive the medicine storage tube; the end of the second chute 411 near the scanning mechanism 3 is lower than the other end, so that the second chute 411 forms an inclined angle, ensuring that the medicine storage tube can slide along the second chute 411 to the medicine outlet 8b or the sorting switch 42.

[0042] See also Figure 3-8 As shown, the end of the collection rack 1 is open and is provided with a stop mechanism 2. The stop mechanism 2 is used to block or open the collection rack 1 so that the drug storage tubes stay on the collection rack 1 or enter the inventory device. In the initial state, the stop mechanism 2 blocks the end of the collection rack 1, that is, blocks the end of the first chute 11, so that the drug storage tubes entering the collection rack 1 are arranged in order in the first chute 11; after the inventory is started, the stop mechanism 2 opens the first chute 11 so that the drug storage tube closest to the inventory device enters the scanning mechanism 3 of the inventory device, and then the stop mechanism 2 blocks the first chute 11 so that the remaining drug storage tubes stay in the first chute 11. The setting of the stop mechanism 2 realizes the stop control of the first chute 11, and also facilitates the control of the drop of a single drug storage tube, thereby improving the degree of automation and work efficiency of the drug storage tube scanning and sorting process.

[0043] Specifically, the anti-pass mechanism 2 includes: a mounting seat 21, two blocking members 22, a spring block 23 and a anti-pass driving member 24; the mounting seat 21 is arranged above the collecting rack 1, and the mounting seat 21 is provided with a convex shaft 211; the two blocking members 22 are symmetrically arranged and rotatably connected to the convex shaft 211, and an insertion rod 221 is provided on the top of the blocking member 22; the spring block 23 is slidably connected to the mounting seat 21; the spring block 23 is symmetrically provided with two guide grooves 231, and the spacing between the two guide grooves 231 close to one end of the first slide groove 11 is smaller than the spacing away from the one end of the first slide groove 11, and the two insertion rods 221 are respectively slidably connected to the two guide grooves 231; the anti-pass driving member 24 is used to drive the spring block 23 to approach or move away from the first slide groove 11, so that the insertion rod 221 slides synchronously to move away from or approach each other, so that the two blocking members 22 are close to or separated from each other. During specific implementation, the stop mechanism 2 blocks the end of the first chute 11. When the scanning mechanism 3 needs to obtain the medicine storage tube in the first chute 11, the stop mechanism 2 opens the end of the first chute 11 to facilitate the medicine storage tube to enter the scanning mechanism 3 from the first chute 11. The setting of the stop mechanism 2 improves the automation level of the medicine storage tube inventory equipment and significantly enhances the orderliness of the tube dropping operation. More specifically, the stop drive 24 drives the spring block 23 to move along the extension direction of the first chute 11. When the spring block 23 moves toward the direction close to the first chute 11, the distance between the two guide grooves 231 facing the two insertion rods 221 gradually increases to push the two insertion rods 221 to move away from each other. The insertion rod 221 drives the blocking member 22 to rotate around the cam 211, causing the two blocking members 22 to gradually approach each other at one end close to the cam 211, so that the two blocking members 22 approach each other, and then the gap between the two blocking members 22 is less than or equal to the width of the medicine storage tube, so as to block the first chute 11. and the scanning mechanism 3, so that the medicine storage tube cannot fall into the scanning mechanism 3; when the spring block 23 moves in the direction away from the first slide groove 11, the distance between the two guide grooves 231 opposite the two insertion rods 221 gradually decreases, so as to push the two insertion rods 221 to move towards each other, and the insertion rods 221 drive the blocking member 22 to rotate around the convex shaft 211, so that the ends of the two blocking members 22 close to the convex shaft 211 gradually move away from each other, so that the two blocking members 22 separate from each other, and then open the end of the first slide groove 11 to connect the first slide groove 11 and the scanning mechanism 3, so that the medicine storage tube falls into the scanning mechanism 3 under the action of gravity.

[0044] Specifically, the blocking member 22 is an arc-shaped plate-like structure. When the two blocking members 22 are close to each other, the outer side of the blocking member 22 forms a smooth curved surface, and a concave space is formed between the two blocking members 22, facing away from the first chute 11. This can form a triangular stable blocking space, which can stably block the medicine storage tube while preventing wear on the outer surface of the medicine storage tube. When the two blocking members 22 are separated from each other, a circular arc-shaped accommodation space is formed between the two blocking members 22, which adapts to the shape of the medicine storage tube, effectively reducing friction and impact on the medicine storage tube during the tube dropping process, thereby ensuring the quality and reliability of the medicine storage tube.

[0045] In this embodiment, the stop drive member 24 can be a combination of a magnetic member and a spring, or a pneumatic cylinder. It is understood that in other embodiments, an electric cylinder, a hydraulic push rod, or other drive members can be used instead of the combination of a magnetic member and a spring or a pneumatic cylinder according to actual needs.

[0046] Specifically, a first detector 12 is provided at the end of the collection rack 1. The first detector 12 is used to detect whether there are any medicine tubes in the collection rack 1. The provision of the first detector 12 helps the medicine tube inventory device to obtain the status of the medicine tubes in the first chute 11 of the collection rack 1, thereby facilitating the preparation of the scanning mechanism 3 and the sorting mechanism 4, so that the inventory process can proceed smoothly.

[0047] See also Figure 13-14 As shown, the second chute 411 is provided with a recovery port, a sorting switch 42 is provided on the second chute 411 for opening and closing the recovery port, and a recovery box 43 is provided below the sorting switch 42. Based on the detected drug storage tube information, the sorting mechanism 4 controls the sorting switch 42 to open the recovery port, allowing the drug storage tube to fall through the recovery port along the second chute 411 and into the recovery box 43. After the scanning mechanism 3 detects the drug storage tube information, it controls the sorting switch 42 to open the recovery port based on the drug storage tube information. This allows the drug storage tube that enters the second chute 411 through the scanning mechanism 3 to slide to the sorting switch 42 and then fall through the recovery port into the recovery box 43 below the sorting switch 42. The coordinated cooperation between the sorting switch 42 and the scanning mechanism 3 replaces manual verification and sorting operations, significantly improving the efficiency of drug storage tube inventory counting and further preventing manual errors from affecting the bin sorting effect and accuracy.

[0048] Specifically, the inner wall of the second chute 411 is symmetrically provided with grooves 412 to form a recycling port; a recycling box 43 is disposed corresponding to the grooves 412 and is slidably disposed below the grooves 412; the sorting switch 42 includes a gantry 421 and a rotary drive member 422; the gantry 421 is movably connected to the groove 412, and the inner wall of the gantry 421 is flush with the inner wall of the second chute 411. The rotary drive member 422 is used to drive the gantry 421 to rotate to open and close the groove 412. More specifically, the width of the second chute 411 is smaller than the diameter of the tube cap of the drug storage tube and larger than the diameter of the tube body. The bottom of the drug storage tube cap is supported on the edge of the second chute 411. The sum of the groove depth of the groove 412 and the width of the second chute 411 is greater than the diameter of the drug storage tube cap. The drug storage tube enters the groove 412 and can fall into the recycling box 43. In the initial state, the bottom of the gantry 421 is embedded in the groove 412. When the groove 412 needs to be opened, the rotary drive member 422 drives the gantry 421 to rotate, causing the bottom of the gantry 421 near the scanning mechanism 3 to rotate upward and leave the groove 412, allowing the drug storage tubes to slide into the groove 412 and fall from the groove 412 into the recovery box 43. It is understood that the recovery box 43 can be divided according to whether the drugs have expired. The sorting mechanism 4 classifies the drug storage tubes according to the classification criteria of the recovery box 43 and the drug storage tube information, driving the drug storage tubes to fall into the corresponding recovery box 43. For example, a batch of drug storage tubes in the warehouse are counted according to the expiration date of the drugs. After the inventory work starts, the drug storage tubes are placed in the collection rack 1 through the drug inlet 8a in turn. After the drug storage tube 1 slides to the scanning mechanism 3 through the first slide 11, the scanning mechanism 3 detects the drug storage tube information to obtain the expiration date of the drug. The sorting mechanism 4 judges the expiration date of the drug. If the drug in the drug storage tube is within the expiration date, the scanning mechanism 3 can release the drug storage tube, and then the drug storage tube slides to the drug outlet 8b through the second slide 411. If the drug in the drug storage tube is not within the expiration date, the sorting switch 42 can open the recovery port, and the scanning mechanism 3 can release the drug storage tube, and then the drug storage tube falls into the recovery box 43 along the second slide 411 through the recovery port.

[0049] In this embodiment, the rotary drive member 422 is a motor. It is understood that in other embodiments, a rotary cylinder, an indexer, or a motor may be used instead of the motor.

[0050] Specifically, the gantry 421 includes two bottom rods 4211 and a frame 4213 connecting the two bottom rods 4211. The bottom of the frame 4213 is open, and the bottom rods 4211 extend along the direction of the second slide groove 411. The projection length of the bottom rods 4211 on the second slide groove 411 is greater than the projection length of the frame 4213 on the second slide groove 411; the distance between the two bottom rods 4211 is equal to the groove width of the second slide groove 411; one of the bottom rods 4211 is provided with a through hole 4212, and the output shaft of the rotating drive member 422 is passed through and connected to the through hole 4212. The rotating drive member 422 is used to drive the end of the bottom rod 4211 close to the scanning mechanism 3 to embed into or leave the groove 412. In the initial state, the two bottom rods 4211 are respectively embedded in two symmetrical grooves 412. When the grooves 412 need to be opened, the rotary drive member 422 drives one of the bottom rods 4211 to rotate, which in turn drives the frame 4213 to rotate, thereby driving the other bottom rod 4211 to rotate, so that the ends of the two bottom rods 4211 closest to the scanning mechanism 3 are both out of the groove 412, allowing the drug storage tube to fall from the groove 412 into the recovery box 43. The length of the frame 4213 is shorter than the length of the bottom rod 4211, providing sufficient space between the bottom rod 4211 and the inner wall of the groove 412, allowing the bottom rod 4211 to rotate freely within a specified angle range, avoiding the frame 4213 from limiting the rotation range of the bottom rod 4211 and preventing the frame 4213 from interfering with the inner wall of the groove 412 during the rotation of the bottom rod 4211, thereby ensuring the smooth and synchronous rotation of the two bottom rods 4211.

[0051] See also Figure 1-2 and Figure 13-14 As shown, the end of the sorting rack 41 is open and communicates with the medicine outlet 8b. In a preferred embodiment, a storage box 9 is located below the medicine outlet 8b. A sorting switch 42 is not required at the end of the second chute 411. When a medicine tube does not meet the classification criteria for the recovery box 43 below the sorting switch 42, for example, the recovery box 43 below the sorting switch 42 is used to store medicine tubes corresponding to expired medicines. Medicine tubes corresponding to within-expiration medicines can then exit the current medicine tube inventory device from the end of the sorting rack 41, i.e., the end of the second chute 411, through the medicine outlet 8b. In this state, the sorting switch 42 does not need to open the groove 412. The medicine tubes slide along the second chute 411 to the end of the second chute 411 and then drop from the end of the second chute 411 through the medicine outlet 8b into the storage box 9. The open end of the sorting rack 41 reduces the number of sorting switches 42, lowering their energy consumption. It also reduces the number of opening and blocking steps, thereby improving the efficiency of medicine tube sorting.

[0052] See also Figure 9-12As shown, the scanning mechanism 3 includes a clamping assembly 31, a detection assembly 32, a scanner 33, and a mounting plate 34. The clamping assembly 31 is located at the end of the collection rack 1 and is used to clamp or release the drug storage tube. The detection assembly 32 is located on the periphery of the clamping assembly 31 and is used to detect the presence of the drug storage tube on the clamping assembly 31 and to detect the open or closed state of the clamping assembly 31. The scanner 33 is used to collect label information from the drug storage tube. The clamping assembly 31, the detection assembly 32, and the scanner 33 are connected to the mounting plate 34. It will be understood that the clamping assembly 31 is located on the side of the stop mechanism 2 away from the first chute 11. When the first chute 11 is open, the drug storage tube slides from the first chute 11 onto the clamping assembly 31. The clamping assembly 31 clamps the drug storage tube. After the scanner 33 scans the label on the tube wall, the clamping assembly 31 releases the tube, allowing the tube to fall into the sorting mechanism 4. Scanning element 33 detects the label on the outer wall of the medicine storage tube to identify the information on the label and transmits the detected information to sorting mechanism 4, which then transfers the medicine storage tube to the corresponding storage bin based on the information of the medicine storage tube. Detection component 32 detects the open and closed state of clamping component 31 and whether clamping component 31 is clamping the medicine storage tube. It is used to send reset and ready signals to sorting mechanism 4, so that scanning mechanism 3 and sorting mechanism 4 can carry out the inventory steps in an orderly manner, thereby improving the reliability of the medicine storage tube inventory.

[0053] Specifically, the mounting plate 34 is provided with two first guide portions 341, which are symmetrical and arranged horizontally; the clamping assembly 31 includes: two clamping members 311, two first elastic members 312, abutting members 313 and an opening and closing driving member 314; the two clamping members 311 are symmetrically arranged, and the two clamping members 311 are respectively slidably connected to the two first guide portions 341; the two ends of the first elastic member 312 are respectively connected to the first guide portion 341 and the clamping member 311, and the two first elastic members are respectively connected to the first guide portion 341 and the clamping member 311. The first spring 312 is used to drive the two clamping members 311 toward each other. The abutment member 313 is connected to the mounting plate 34 and is located between the two clamping members 311. The abutment member 313 has a tip 3131 and an expansion portion 3132. The lateral width of the tip 3131 is smaller than the lateral width of the expansion portion 3132. The opening and closing drive component 314 is used to drive the abutment member 313 to move vertically, so that the tip 3131 or the expansion portion 3132 abuts the two clamping members 311, causing the two clamping members 311 to move toward or away from each other. The two clamping members 311 are elastically acted upon by the two first spring members 312, so that the two clamping members 311 have a clamping force to clamp the drug storage tube and are always in abutment with the abutment member 313. When the abutment 313 moves to the point where the tip 3131 is located between the two clamping members 311, the distance between the two clamping members 311 is small, and the edge of the tube cap of the medicine storage tube can be supported on the top of the two clamping members 311, making it easier for the scanner 33 to detect the medicine storage tube; when the abutment 313 moves to the point where the expansion portion 3132 is located between the two clamping members 311, the expansion portion 3132 opens the two clamping members 311, separating the two clamping members 311 from each other, causing the medicine storage tube to fall into the sorting mechanism 4 under the action of gravity.

[0054] Specifically, the end of the clamping member 311 closest to the first chute 11 is provided with an arcuate groove (not labeled in the figure), and the arcuate grooves of the two clamping members 311 are interconnected. The arcuate groove faces the first chute 11 and can receive the drug storage tube that slides down from the first chute 11. The arcuate groove adapts to the shape of the drug storage tube, preventing scratches on the outer wall of the drug storage tube and providing a buffer for impacts on the drug storage tube, thus ensuring the quality of the drug storage tube and the safety of the drugs, thereby improving the reliability of the drug storage tube inventory process.

[0055] Specifically, the abutment member 313 is provided with a vertically disposed rack 3133. The opening and closing drive component 314 includes a gear 3141 and an opening and closing drive member 3142. The gear 3141 and the rack 3133 mesh with each other, and the opening and closing drive member 3142 is used to drive the gear 3141 to rotate. The opening and closing drive member 3142 drives the gear 3141 to rotate, and the gear 3141 drives the rack 3133 to move vertically, thereby driving the abutment member 313 to move vertically, causing the tip 3131 or the expansion portion 3132 to move between the two clamping members 311. The rack 3133 and the gear 3141 have a compact structure, which helps save the space occupied by the opening and closing drive component 314, reduces the volume of the clamping assembly 31, and improves space utilization; and the transmission of the rack 3133 and the gear 3141 has a precise linear displacement relationship, which can enable the abutment member 313 to accurately move the corresponding distance. Compared with pneumatic drive or belt drive structures, the rack 3133 and the gear 3141 are more suitable for small-distance movement control, which can further reduce the volume of the clamping assembly 31, and can also reduce the energy consumption of the opening and closing drive member 3142, while also improving the response speed of the clamping member 311.

[0056] Specifically, scanning mechanism 3 further includes a rotating assembly 35, which is used to drive the drug storage tube to rotate so that the label on the drug storage tube is rotated to face the scanning unit 33. The provision of rotating assembly 35 enables the drug storage tube to rotate on the clamping assembly 31, ensuring that the scanning unit 33 can accurately scan the label on the outer wall of the drug storage tube. This helps to avoid the randomness of the label affixed position on the drug storage tube. Driven by rotating assembly 35, the drug storage tube can rotate the label to face the scanning unit 33. No matter where the label is affixed to the drug storage tube, it can be detected by the scanning unit 33, greatly improving the comprehensiveness and accuracy of drug storage tube information detection.

[0057] Specifically, the mounting plate 34 is provided with two second guide portions 342, which are symmetrical and horizontally arranged. The second guide portions 342 are arranged above the first guide portion 341 and are arranged parallel to the first guide portion 341. The rotating assembly 35 includes: two clamping members 351, two second elastic members 352, two first rolling members 353, a second rolling member 354 and a rotating driving member 355; the two clamping members 351 are symmetrically arranged, and the two clamping members 351 are respectively slidably connected to the two second guide portions. The second elastic member 352 is connected to the second guide portion 342 and the clamping member 351 at both ends. The two second elastic members 352 are used to drive the two clamping members 351 toward each other. The two first rolling members 353 are respectively rotatably connected to the two clamping members 351. The second rolling member 354 and the two clamping members 351 are arranged in a triangular shape. When the two clamping members 351 approach each other, the rolling members and the two clamping members 351 abut against the medicine storage tube. The rotation driving member 355 is used to drive the second rolling member 354 to rotate. More specifically, the two clamping members 351 are arranged parallel to the two clamping members 311 and are located above the clamping members 311. The first rolling member 353 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the clamping member 351, and the second rolling member 354 is disposed between the first rolling member 353 and the mounting plate 34. When the medicine storage tube is located between the two clamping members 311, the tube cap of the medicine storage tube abuts the second rolling member 354. At this time, the two clamping members 351 are driven toward each other, causing the two first rolling members 353 to abut the medicine storage tube. The two first rolling members 353 and the second rolling member 354 form a triangular abutment structure. The rotating driving member 355 drives the second rolling member 354 to rotate, causing the medicine storage tube to rotate due to the rolling friction of the second rolling member 354. The provision of the first rolling member 353 significantly reduces the friction between the clamping member 351 and the medicine storage tube, improves the smoothness of the medicine storage tube's rotation, helps to ensure the quality of the medicine storage tube, and thus ensures the integrity and safety of the medicine.

[0058] Specifically, the abutment member 313 is disposed between the two clamping members 351, and the opening and closing driving component 314 is used to drive the tip 3131 or the expansion portion 3132 to abut the two clamping members 351, thereby moving the two clamping members 311 closer to or farther from each other. More specifically, the distance between the tip 3131 and the expansion portion 3132 is greater than or equal to the distance between the clamping member 351 and the clamping member 311. When the tip 3131 of the abutment member 313 is located between the two clamping members 311, the expanded portion 3132 of the abutment member 313 is located between the two clamping members 351, thereby enabling the clamping assembly 31 to clamp the medicine storage tube, and when the medicine storage tube slides onto the two clamping members 311, the two clamping members 351 separate, preventing the clamping members 351 from obstructing the movement of the medicine storage tube, thereby improving the smoothness of the automatic inventory process of the medicine storage tube; when the detection assembly 32 detects that there is a medicine storage tube on the clamping member 311, it can drive the abutment member 313 to move upward until the tip 3131 is separated from the clamping member 311. The second spring 352 is engaged with the second clamping member 351 and the second spring 353 is engaged with the medicine storage tube. The first spring 352 is engaged with the second clamping member 351 and the second clamping member 351 is engaged with the medicine storage tube. The second spring 352 is engaged with the second clamping member 351 and the second clamping member 351 is engaged with the medicine storage tube. The first spring 352 is engaged with the second clamping member 311 and the second clamping member 313 is engaged with the medicine storage tube. The first spring 352 is engaged with the second clamping member 351 and the second clamping member 313 is engaged with the medicine storage tube.

[0059] In this embodiment, the opening and closing driving member 3142 and the rotating driving member 355 are both motors. It is understood that in other embodiments, a rotary cylinder, an indexer, or a motor can be used instead of the motor.

[0060] In this embodiment, both the first guide portion 341 and the second guide portion 342 are horizontal grooves; one end of the first elastic member 312 abuts against the inner wall of the end of the first guide portion 341 away from the abutting member 313, and the other end abuts against the clamping member 311; one end of the second elastic member 352 abuts against the inner wall of the end of the second guide portion 342 away from the abutting member 313, and the other end abuts against the clamping member 351. It is understood that in other embodiments, guide rails or guide posts may be used instead of horizontal grooves, depending on actual needs, and the first elastic member 312 or the second elastic member 352 may be mounted outside the guide rails or guide posts.

[0061] Specifically, the scanner 33 is positioned below the clamping member 311 and on the axis of symmetry between the two clamping members 311. Positioning the scanner 33 relative to the axis of symmetry ensures that, after the drug storage tube is secured to the clamping member 311, the label on the tube wall always faces the inspection area of the scanner 33. This prevents the label from drifting out of the scanning range due to eccentricity of the drug storage tube, thereby improving inspection accuracy.

[0062] Specifically, the detection assembly 32 includes a second detector 321 and a third detector 322. The second detector 321 is used to detect whether the clamping assembly 31 is holding the drug storage tube, and the third detector 322 is used to detect whether the two clamping members 311 are in close proximity. In this embodiment, the second detector 321 is located below the clamping member 311, facing the wall of the drug storage tube. The third detector 322 is located on the periphery of the abutment member 313, which is equipped with a trigger member 3134. When the tip 3131 is located between the two clamping members 311, the trigger member 3134 faces the third detector 322, and the third detector 322 determines that the two clamping members 311 are in close proximity.

[0063] See also Figure 15-16 The drug storage tube inventory device of this embodiment also includes: a chassis 5; the top of the chassis 5 is open, and the collection rack 1 is arranged opposite the opening of the chassis 5 and fixed in the chassis 5; the mounting plate 34 and the sorting rack 41 are fixed in the chassis 5; the recovery box 43 is slidably connected to the bottom of the chassis 5; the recovery box 43 is provided with an RFID tag 7, and the chassis 5 is provided with an RFID reader 6 corresponding to the RFID tag 7. More specifically, the number of RFID readers 6 is consistent with the number of recovery boxes 43. Among them, RFID (full name: Radio Frequency Identification), that is, radio frequency identification, is an automatic identification technology based on the principles of electromagnetic induction and wireless communication. The RFID reader transmits a radio frequency signal to activate the RFID tag 7. After obtaining energy, the RFID tag 7 transmits the encoded information back to the RFID reader. There is no need for the RFID tag 7 and the RFID reader to contact each other, and the identification work does not require human intervention. It has broad application prospects in the field of intelligent management of medical samples. The RFID reader / writer 6 is used to obtain and store the information of the collection tubes in the corresponding recycling box 43 and / or the storage information of the recycling box 43, and transmit the above information to the RFID tag 7 so that medical staff can scan the RFID tag 7 to obtain relevant information. The configuration of the RFID reader / writer 6 and the RFID tag 7 realizes the intelligent and digital management of the collection tube information and the recycling box 43, which is conducive to the real-time and accurate acquisition and update of key data such as the examination items, patient information, storage time, etc. of the collection tubes in the recycling box 43. At the same time, the storage status of the recycling box 43 is recorded, such as whether it is full or idle, etc., which reduces the tedious process of manual recording and verification of information, avoids human input errors, and significantly improves the efficiency and accuracy of the collection tube sorting. In specific implementation, during the inventory process, the number of drugs that do not meet the preset conditions is updated in real time in the RFID reader / writer 6, and the RFID reader / writer 6 synchronizes the drug quantity to the RFID tag 7; after the inventory work is completed, the medical staff removes the recycling box 43 and scans the RFID tag 7 on the back of the recycling box 43 to obtain the current storage information of the recycling box 43, including drug information and quantity.

[0064] Example 2

[0065] See also Figure 1-17 As shown, this embodiment discloses a medicine storage tube inventory system, comprising a plurality of medicine storage tube inventory devices of embodiment 1 interconnected by a medicine inlet 8a and a medicine outlet 8b. The plurality of medicine storage tube inventory devices are staggered and arranged from top to bottom in a stepped manner, and adjacent medicine storage tube inventory devices are arranged opposite to each other; each of the medicine storage tube inventory devices is used to perform an inventory. More specifically, the medicine outlet 8b of the medicine storage tube inventory device is connected to the medicine inlet 8a or the recovery box 43 of the next inventory device. Figure 17 As shown, all the inventory devices are arranged facing each other and there is a height difference. The drug storage tube inventorying device on the top layer performs a first inspection and sorting on the drug storage tubes. The drug storage tubes that do not meet the first preset condition fall into the corresponding recovery box 43 through the groove 412 of the drug storage tube inventorying device, and the drug storage tubes that meet the first preset condition enter the next drug storage tube inventorying device through the drug outlet 8b of the drug storage tube inventorying device for a second inspection and sorting; the drug storage tubes that do not meet the second preset condition fall into the corresponding recovery box 43 through the groove 412 of the drug storage tube inventorying device, and the drug storage tubes that meet the second preset condition enter the drug inlet 8a of the next drug storage tube inventorying device through the drug outlet 8b of the drug storage tube inventorying device for a third inspection and sorting; the drug storage tubes that do not meet the third preset condition fall into the corresponding recovery box 43 through the groove 412 of the drug storage tube inventorying device, and the drug storage tubes that meet the third preset condition enter the final recovery box 43 through the drug outlet 8b of the drug storage tube inventorying device. For example, a batch of drug tubes in a warehouse are counted according to the expiration date and the life of the drug. The drug tubes are sequentially entered into the first drug tube counting device. If the scanning mechanism 3 of the drug tube counting device detects that the drug tube is not within the expiration date, the drug tube is controlled to enter the recycling box 43 of the current drug tube counting device. If the drug tube is within the expiration date, the drug tube is controlled to enter the second drug tube counting device. The second drug tube counting device detects whether the drug expiration date of the drug tube is 202 If the expiration date of the drug in the drug storage tube is between 2022 and 2023, if so, the drug storage tube is controlled to enter the recovery box 43 of the current drug storage tube inventory device; otherwise, the drug storage tube is controlled to enter the storage box 9, so that the storage box 9 contains drugs with an expiration date exceeding 2023.

[0066] The drug storage tube inventory system of this embodiment is equipped with multiple drug storage tube inventory devices to form a multi-level sorting system, which helps to achieve diversified management and control of drugs, facilitates the inventory of drugs with different expiration dates, and can also be classified according to different years. The types of drugs can also be inventoried and classified according to the drug names. In addition, the modular inventory device layout facilitates the addition or subtraction of sorting levels or the adjustment of sorting rules according to actual needs in the later stage, thereby enhancing the scalability of the equipment and adaptability to different application scenarios, and further meeting the needs of medical institutions for full-cycle management of drugs and precise warehousing.

[0067] Example 3

[0068] See also Figure 1-18 As shown, this embodiment discloses a medicine storage tube inventory method for controlling the medicine storage tube inventory device of embodiment 1. The medicine storage tube inventory method of this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0069] S10: receiving an inventory instruction, detecting whether there is a drug storage tube in the collection rack 1, and whether the scanning mechanism 3 is ready.

[0070] S20: If there are drug storage tubes in the collection rack 1 and the scanning mechanism 3 is ready, the scanning mechanism 3 is driven to start to detect the information of the drug storage tubes and perform inventory counting.

[0071] S30: Controlling the sorting mechanism 4 to open and close the sorting switch 42 according to the medicine storage tube information, so that the medicine storage tube moves to the medicine outlet 8b or falls into the recovery box 43.

[0072] Specifically, the medicine storage tube inventory method of this embodiment detects whether there is a medicine storage tube in the first chute 11 of the collection rack 1 through the first detector 12, and detects whether the scanning mechanism 3 is ready through the second detector 321 and the third detector 322. More specifically, if the first detector 12 detects the presence of a medicine storage tube in the first chute 11, and the second detector 321 does not detect that the clamping assembly 31 has clamped the medicine storage tube, it drives the tip 3131 of the abutment member to move between the two clamping members 311, confirms that the third detector 322 has detected the trigger member 3134, and drives the gantry 421 of the sorting switch 42 to reset, so as to block the groove 412 and form a sliding space with a flat inner wall with the second chute 411, that is, the scanning mechanism 3 and the sorting mechanism 4 enter the ready state; then, the stop module is controlled to open the first chute 11, causing the single medicine storage tube to leave the first chute. 11 and slides to the clamping assembly 31, and when a single drug storage tube leaves the first chute 11, the blocking module is controlled to block the first chute 11, so that the remaining drug storage tubes in the first chute 11 wait for the previous drug storage tube to complete the inventory process; after the second detector 321 detects the drug storage tube, the opening and closing driving component 314 drives the abutment member 313 to move up to the tip 3131 located between the two clamping members 351, and starts the rotating driving member 355, so that the second rolling member 354 drives the drug storage tube to rotate, so that the scanning member 33 captures the label on the outer wall of the drug storage tube, and then scans the drug information on the label and determines whether the expiration date in the drug information has expired. When the preset conditions are met, for example, the medicine is still within the validity period, the opening and closing driving component 314 is controlled to drive the abutment 313 to move down to the expansion portion 3132 and enter between the two clamping members 311, so that the two clamping members 311 and the two clamping members 351 are opened at the same time, thereby causing the medicine storage tube to fall into the second slide groove 411 and slide along the second slide groove 411 to the medicine outlet 8b; when the preset conditions are not met, for example, the medicine has exceeded the validity period, the gantry 421 is controlled to rotate to open the groove 412, and then the opening and closing driving component 314 is controlled to drive the abutment 313 to move down to the expansion portion 3132 and enter The two clamping members 311 are between each other, so that the two clamping members 311 and the two clamping members 351 are opened at the same time, thereby allowing the medicine storage tube to fall into the second chute 411 and slide along the second chute 411 through the groove 412 to the recovery box 43 under the groove 412. The number of times the gantry 421 rotates to open the groove 412 is recorded to count the number of medicines that do not meet the preset conditions; when a medicine storage tube is scanned and sorted, the third detector 322 detects whether the two clamping members 311 are close to each other, and repeats the above steps to carry out inventory of subsequent medicine storage tubes until the inventory of the medicine storage tubes in the first chute 11 is completed.

[0073] Specifically, the sorting rack 41 is provided with a second chute 411, and the second chute 411 is provided with a recycling port. The sorting switch 42 is provided on the second chute 411 for opening and closing the recycling port. The recycling box 43 is provided below the sorting switch 42. According to the detected drug storage tube information, the sorting mechanism 4 controls the sorting switch 42 to open the recycling port. The drug storage tube information includes the expiration date of the drug. The control of the sorting mechanism 4 to open and close the sorting switch 42 according to the drug storage tube information so that the drug storage tube moves to the drug outlet 8b or falls into the recycling box 43 includes:

[0074] When the information of the medicine storage tube meets the medicine expiration date, the sorting switch 42 is controlled to be closed, and the medicine storage tube moves along the second chute 411 to the medicine outlet 8b;

[0075] When the information of the medicine storage tube does not meet the medicine expiration date, the sorting switch 42 is controlled to open the recovery port on the second chute 411 , and the medicine storage tube falls into the recovery box 43 along the second chute 411 through the recovery port.

[0076] The medicine storage tube inventory method of this embodiment receives inventory instructions and jointly detects the status of the medicine storage tubes in the first chute 11 and the readiness of the scanning mechanism 3, ensuring that the inventory process is started when the equipment conditions are met to avoid misoperation; based on the information of the medicine storage tubes, the sorting mechanism 4 is accurately controlled to open the corresponding recovery box 43, realizing the automation and intelligence of medicine classification, reducing manual intervention while improving the orderliness of the inventory process, and also improving the accuracy of the inventory results, ensuring the efficiency and reliability of medicine inventory.
