Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sorting equipment, and in particular to an intelligent sorting equipment and a sorting method. Background Art

[0002] Currently, before dispensing medicine to patients at the dispensing window, pharmacists in hospital pharmacies generally need to first sort the medicine boxes to see if the traceability code is facing upwards, and then use a barcode scanner or scanner to scan the QR code on the medicine box to identify and verify the medicine. However, in order to improve the pharmacist's verification efficiency before sorting and dispensing medicine, an intelligent robot is usually used to capture the medicine box with the traceability code facing downwards through a vision module. The intelligent robot then grabs the medicine box with the traceability code facing downwards and places it on top of the medicine identification device. The remaining medicine boxes with the traceability code facing upwards can be sorted and turned over by vibration equipment or manual sorting.

[0003] However, if the shape of the medicine box is different, such as a flat rectangular or other medicine box with good stability, it cannot be turned over by vibrating back and forth on the plane, and the medicine boxes that cannot be sorted out will accumulate, resulting in a decrease in the efficiency of dispensing medicine.

[0016] A sorting method for intelligent sorting equipment, comprising the following steps:

[0017] S1. The first medicine box is initially located directly below the vision module. The vision module scans the medicine boxes in the first medicine box. The second medicine box is located behind the first medicine box. The motor starts the optical axis 1 to rotate clockwise and convey the first medicine box with the medicine boxes with the traceability code facing upward through the conveyor belt 1. There is no medicine box in the second medicine box. The optical axis 1 conveys the two medicine boxes toward the conveyor belt 4 until the bottom of the first medicine box touches the outer wall of the conveyor belt 4. The optical axis 1 stops rotating, and the medicine boxes in the first medicine box roll over into the second medicine box. The medicine boxes with the traceability code facing upward are turned over so that the traceability code side faces downward.

[0018] S2. When the second medicine box is full of medicine boxes, the optical axis rotates counterclockwise and conveys the second medicine box to the bottom of the vision module through the conveyor belt. Then the optical axis stops rotating and the vision module scans the medicine boxes in the second medicine box.

[0019] If there are still some medicine boxes with the traceability codes facing upwards in the second medicine box, the optical axis 1 continues to rotate clockwise, and after the bottom of the first medicine box touches the outer wall of the conveyor belt 4, the optical axis 1 continues to rotate clockwise, and at the same time drives the conveyor belt 4 to drive the first medicine box to flip, so that the openings of the two medicine boxes touch and close;

[0020] S4, the optical axis 1 continues to rotate clockwise until it flips over to the bottom of the first medicine box and contacts the conveyor belt 1. The optical axis 1 stops rotating and the serrated plate is directly above the conveyor belt 1. The medicine boxes in the second medicine box roll over again and roll into the first medicine box.

[0021] S5. The optical axis rotates counterclockwise, and the serrated plate engages with the gear to drive the limit cylinder 4 in the multi-section telescopic mechanism to extend upward, pushing the second medicine box located above. Finally, the second medicine box flips over and is on the same plane as the first medicine box. When the first medicine box moves to the bottom of the vision module, the optical axis stops rotating, and the vision module scans the medicine boxes in the first medicine box.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of the present invention are:

[0023] 1. The present invention cooperates with optical axis 1, conveyor belt 1, conveyor belt 2, conveyor belt 4, conveyor belt 3, medicine boxes, serrated plates and multi-section telescopic mechanisms. When optical axis 1 rotates, it is connected through transmission to allow conveyor belt 1 to drive the two medicine boxes to move toward conveyor belt 4. At the same time, conveyor belt 4 drives the first medicine box to flip vertically through friction, allowing the medicine box to roll over and turn over into the second medicine box located on the plane, thereby improving the effect of flipping the medicine box traceability code, is not affected by the shape of the medicine box, and does not require manual operation, thereby improving the practicality of the equipment.

[0024] 2. The present invention cooperates with gears, gear rod 2, chain, gear rod 1, coil spring, multi-section telescopic mechanism and magnetic strip. When there is still a medicine box with the traceability code facing downward in the rear medicine box, the above operation is repeated, and the rotation time of optical axis 1 is increased, so that the first medicine box flips over and covers the top of the second medicine box, and then the two medicine boxes are synchronously flipped 180 degrees, and the medicine box in the second medicine box is allowed to enter the first medicine box, thereby achieving a second flip, and then the gear is driven to rotate by the engagement of the serrated plate, and at the same time, the gear drives gear rod 1 to rotate through the chain, thereby starting the limit cylinder 4 in the multi-section telescopic mechanism to extend upward and push open the second medicine box located above, so that the opening of the first medicine box located below is opened, which is convenient for sorting and taking out the medicine boxes, thereby improving the functionality of the device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0039] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0040] Example: Refer to Figures 1 to 11 The present invention provides a technical solution: intelligent sorting equipment, including: conveyor belt 1 21, conveyor belt 23, conveyor belt 3 24, conveyor belt 4 26, motor 2, serrated plate 34, gear 303 and multi-section telescopic mechanism 4, the output shaft of motor 2 is fixedly installed with optical axis 1 20, optical axis 1 20 can drive conveyor belt 1 21, and two medicine boxes 15 are provided above conveyor belt 1 21, the two medicine boxes 15 are a first medicine box 15 and a second medicine box 15, and conveyor belt 4 26 can drive the first medicine box 15 and the second medicine box 15 to form a perpendicular angle so that the medicine box in the first medicine box 15 rolls into the second medicine box 15;

[0041] The serrated plate 34 is meshed with the gear 303 and the transmission component drives the multi-section telescopic mechanism 4 to achieve telescopic movement. The two medicine boxes 15 can be flipped over each other, and the medicine box in the second medicine box 15 rolls into the first medicine box 15. The limiting cylinder 4 52 in the multi-section telescopic mechanism 4 can flip the second medicine box 15.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, one end of the optical axis 20 passes through and is rotatably connected to the support platform 13, the support platform 13 has a groove, the rod body of the optical axis 20 located at the groove is connected to the optical axis 22 through the conveyor belt 1 21, the optical axis 22 is connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 29 through the conveyor belt 2 23, the rod body of the optical axis 20 located on the outer wall of the support platform 13 is connected to the optical axis 3 25 through the conveyor belt 3 24, the optical axis 3 25 is connected to the optical axis 4 27 through the conveyor belt 4 26, one end of the optical axis 3 25 and the optical axis 4 27 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 28, one side of the fixed frame 28 is fixedly installed with a drug identification platform 10, the drug identification platform 10 has a drug release port, and one side of the drug identification platform 10 has a flippable drug drawer 11, the bottom of the drug identification platform 10 is fixedly installed with a base 1, the top of the base 1 is fixedly installed with a bracket 12, one side of the bracket 12 is fixedly installed on one side of the support platform 13, and the top of the support platform 13 is fixedly installed with a visual module 14.

[0043] As attached Figure 1 As shown, after the intelligent manipulator has taken away all the medicine boxes with the traceability codes facing downward, only the medicine boxes with the traceability codes facing upward are left. At this time, the medicine boxes with the traceability codes facing upward are in the first medicine box 15, and the top of the opening of the first medicine box 15 has a multi-section telescopic mechanism 4;

[0044] As attached Figure 3 As shown, the starting motor 2 drives the optical axis 1 20 to start rotating clockwise through the output shaft, and the optical axis 1 20 drives the optical axis 2 22 to rotate synchronously through the conveyor belt 1 21. At the same time, the conveyor belt 1 21 starts to transport the two medicine boxes 15 to move toward the conveyor belt 4 26. While the optical axis 1 20 rotates clockwise, it also drives the optical axis 3 25 to rotate synchronously through the conveyor belt 3 24. The optical axis 3 25 rotates and drives the optical axis 4 27 to rotate synchronously through the conveyor belt 4 26. When the first medicine box 15 contacts the outer wall of the conveyor belt 4 26, the friction between the conveyor belt 4 26 and the first medicine box 15 is directed upward. At the same time, the conveyor belt 1 21 pushes the two medicine boxes 15 to move toward the conveyor belt 4 26. That is, after the first medicine box 15 flips upward and the angle between the first medicine box 15 and the second medicine box 15 is ninety degrees, the optical axis 120 begins to stand still, and the medicine boxes in the first medicine box 15 roll into the second medicine box 15, so that the traceability codes of most medicine boxes face downward. At the same time, a part of the serrated plate 34 will be located directly above the conveyor belt 121. Finally, the optical axis 120 rotates counterclockwise, and the friction between the conveyor belt 26 and the first medicine box 15 is downward. At the same time, the conveyor belt 121 transports the second medicine box 15 away from the conveyor belt 26. Until the second medicine box 15 is directly below the vision module 14, the optical axis 120 stops rotating and the serrated plate 34 is completely away from the top of the conveyor belt 121.

[0045] If there are still a few medicine boxes with traceability codes facing upwards in the second medicine box 15, the optical axis 1 20 continues to rotate clockwise. In summary, after the angle between the first medicine box 15 and the second medicine box 15 is 90 degrees, the optical axis 1 20 continues to rotate clockwise, and the friction between the conveyor belt 4 26 and the first medicine box 15 is upward. At the same time, the second medicine box 15 pushes the first medicine box 15 to make the first medicine box 15 flip over, that is, the opening of the first medicine box 15 contacts the opening of the second medicine box 15, and then the two medicine boxes 15 are turned over 180 degrees in conjunction with the conveyor belt 4 26 and the conveyor belt 1 21. The first medicine box 15 is located directly below the second medicine box 15, and then the optical axis 1 20 rotates counterclockwise. When one side of the first medicine box 15 originally located below The gear 303 contacts the serrated plate 34, and the serrated plate 34 moves in the direction away from the bracket 12, thereby activating the multi-section telescopic mechanism 4 to extend the length of the limit cylinder four 52 upward, so that the second medicine box 15 originally located above is pushed outward by the limit cylinder four 52, so that the opening of the first medicine box 15 is exposed. Until the first medicine box 15 moves to the bottom of the visual module 14, the optical axis 20 is stationary. At the same time, due to the previous disengagement of the serrated plate 34 from the gear 303, the rotation causes the coil spring 36 to generate a first elastic potential energy. When the serrated plate 34 disengages from the gear 303, the coil spring 36 automatically rotates in the opposite direction of the previous rotation through the first elastic potential energy, and the limit cylinder four 52 begins to shrink in length to facilitate the subsequent continuation of the cycle operation.

[0046] To explain, in order to prevent the openings of the two medicine boxes 15 from contacting each other and separating during the rolling process, the two openings of the medicine boxes 15 can be fixed together by adsorbing each other through the two magnetic strips 16. The visual module 14 in the present invention adopts existing cameras and other monitoring equipment that can cooperate with intelligent manipulators. In addition, the drug identification station 10 adopts the CHR-SMCZ model drug traceability code identification equipment currently available on the market.

[0047] like Figures 3 to 7 As shown, the outer wall of the rotating shaft 29 passes through and is rotatably connected with a fixed plate 3, the top of the fixed plate 3 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the support platform 13, the threaded rod 30 is threadedly connected to the support plate 32, the top of the support plate 32 is fixedly installed with a serrated plate 34, the other end of the threaded rod 30 is fixedly installed with a blocking plate 31, and a crescent-shaped telescopic rod 33 is fixedly installed on the side of the support platform 13 close to the blocking plate 31, the support plate 32 is limited between the crescent-shaped telescopic rod 33 and the blocking plate 31, the other end of the crescent-shaped telescopic rod 33 is fixedly installed on one side of the support plate 32, the serrated plate 34 is meshed with a gear 303, the top of the gear 303 is fixedly installed with a gear rod 2 302, the gear rod 2 302 is connected to the gear rod 1 39 through a chain 301, and the top of the gear rod 1 39 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the limit member 42 in the multi-section telescopic mechanism 4.

[0048] As attached Figure 4 As shown, in order to allow the serrated plate 34 to operate synchronously with the optical axis 1 20, when the optical axis 1 20 rotates, the conveyor belt 23 drives the rotating shaft 29 to rotate, and finally the rotating shaft 29 drives the support plate 32 to rotate, thereby driving the support plate 32 and the serrated plate 34 to move linearly and cyclically. To prevent the support plate 32 from separating from the threaded rod 1 30 or rotating on its own, the crescent-shaped telescopic rod 33 and the blocking plate 31 cooperate to constrain the support plate 32 between the crescent-shaped telescopic rod 33 and the blocking plate 31;

[0049] As attached Figure 7 As shown, when the serrated plate 34 contacts the gear 303 moving toward the serrated plate 34 during linear movement, the medicine box 15 at the front end will be tightly contacted with the outside of the serrated plate 34 due to the obstruction of the serrated plate 34. At the same time, the gear 303 engages with the serrated plate 34 during contact. Finally, the gear 303 starts to rotate and the gear 303 rotates through the chain 301 to drive the gear rod 1 39 to rotate. Finally, the gear rod 1 39 rotates to drive the limit member 42 in the multi-section telescopic mechanism 4 to rotate, and also allows the coil spring 36 to generate a first elastic potential energy. Until the gear 303 is separated from the serrated plate 34, the coil spring 36 drives the gear rod 1 39 and the limit member 42 to rotate in the opposite direction of the previous rotation direction through the elastic potential energy, thereby achieving a reset effect.

[0050] like Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the top of the gear rod 2 302 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 2 38, and one side of the fixed plate 2 38 is fixedly installed on one side of the medicine box 15. The medicine box 15 is an isosceles trapezoid and has an opening. A circular groove 17 is provided on the opposite side of the openings of the two medicine boxes 15. The inner wall of the circular groove 17 is rotatably connected to the fixed rod 18. The two ends of the two fixed rods 18 are fixedly installed with a connecting plate 19. The tops of the openings of the two medicine boxes 15 are fixedly installed with a magnetic strip 16. A circular groove 2 35 is provided on one side of the opening of the medicine box 15. An L-shaped plate 37 is fixedly installed on the top of the opening of the medicine box 15. A coil spring 36 is provided between the circular groove 2 35 and the L-shaped plate 37. The outer ring of the coil spring 36 is fixedly installed on the top of the opening, and the inner ring of the coil spring 36 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the gear rod 1 39. The outer wall of the gear rod 1 39 near the top is provided with a limiting ring, and the outer wall of the limiting ring can be rotatably connected to the inner wall of the circular groove 2 35.

[0051] As attached Figure 6 As shown, the inner walls of the two medicine boxes 15 are isosceles trapezoidal, which avoids the dead corners caused by the square inner walls, resulting in a small number of medicine boxes being stuck in the dead corners during the pouring process, thereby preventing the medicine boxes from being turned over. At the same time, the position of the multi-section telescopic mechanism 4 is fixed by the L-shaped plate 37, which also facilitates the installation of the coil spring 36.

[0052] like Figures 9 to 11As shown, the multi-section telescopic mechanism 4 includes a limiting cylinder 40 fixedly mounted on the top of the L-shaped plate 37, a notch 41 is provided at the bottom end of the limiting cylinder 40, the inner wall of the notch 41 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the limiting member 42, a threaded rod 43 is fixedly mounted on the top of the limiting member 42, the threaded rod 43 is threadedly connected to a threaded ring 45, the bottom end of the threaded ring 45 is fixedly mounted on a limiting cylinder 44, the outer wall of the threaded ring 45 is rotatably connected to a sleeve ring 46, the top of the sleeve ring 46 is fixedly mounted with a reciprocating screw 47, and the reciprocating screw 47 is fixedly mounted on the top of the reciprocating screw 47. 47 is threadedly connected with a threaded ring 2 48, the bottom end of the threaded ring 2 48 is fixedly installed with a limiting cylinder 3 49, the outer wall of the threaded ring 2 48 is rotatably connected with a sleeve ring 2 5, the top of the sleeve ring 2 5 is fixedly installed with a reciprocating screw 2 50, the reciprocating screw 2 50 is threadedly connected with a threaded tube 51, the top of the threaded tube 51 is fixedly installed with a limiting cylinder 4 52, the outer walls of the threaded ring 1 45 and the threaded ring 2 48 are both provided with annular grooves, the inner walls of the sleeve ring 1 46 and the sleeve ring 2 5 are both provided with fixed rings, and the outer walls of the fixed rings are rotatably connected to the inner walls of the annular grooves.

[0053] As attached Figure 9 and attached Figure 11 As shown, when the threaded rod 2 43 is driven to rotate by the limiting member 42, the threaded rod 2 43 drives the threaded ring 1 45 to rotate upward through the threaded connection. Since the threaded ring 1 45 is fixedly installed with the limiting cylinder 2 44, the threaded ring 1 45 also drives the limiting cylinder 2 44 to move upward. During the upward movement of the limiting cylinder 2 44, the sleeve ring 1 46 is driven to move upward. Since the sleeve ring 1 46 is fixedly installed with the limiting cylinder 3 49, when the limiting cylinder 3 49 moves upward, it will drive the sleeve ring 2 5 to move upward. Since the sleeve ring 2 5 is fixedly installed with the threaded rod 4 50, the threaded rod 4 50 is also moved upward. When the threaded rod 3 47 and the threaded rod 4 50 are moved in a straight line, they will drive the threaded ring 2 48 and the sleeve ring 2 5 to rotate upward. Finally, the threaded rod 4 50 is threadedly connected to the threaded tube 51 to drive the limit cylinder 4 52 to move away from the limit cylinder 1 40. The multi-section telescopic mechanism 4 adopts the multi-stage telescopic rod structure principle of the existing market to improve the practicality and functionality of the invention.

[0054] In addition, the present invention provides a sorting method for intelligent sorting equipment, characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0055] S1. The first medicine box 15 is initially located directly below the vision module 14. The vision module 14 scans the medicine boxes in the first medicine box 15. The second medicine box 15 is located at the rear side of the first medicine box 15. The motor 2 starts the optical axis 120 to rotate clockwise and convey the first medicine box 15 with the medicine boxes with the traceability code facing upwards through the conveyor belt 121. There are no medicine boxes in the second medicine box 15. The optical axis 120 conveys the two medicine boxes 15 toward the conveyor belt 4 26 until the bottom of the first medicine box 15 touches the outer wall of the conveyor belt 4 26. The optical axis 120 stops rotating, and the medicine boxes in the first medicine box 15 roll over into the second medicine box 15. The medicine boxes with the traceability code facing upwards are turned over so that the traceability code side faces downwards.

[0056] S2. When the second medicine box 15 is full of medicine boxes, the optical axis 120 rotates counterclockwise and conveys the second medicine box 15 to the position directly below the vision module 14 via the conveyor belt 121. The optical axis 120 stops rotating and the vision module 14 scans the medicine boxes in the second medicine box 15.

[0057] S3. If there are still some medicine boxes with their traceability codes facing upward in the second medicine box 15, the optical axis 1 continues to rotate clockwise. After the bottom of the first medicine box 15 contacts the outer wall of the conveyor belt 4 26, the optical axis 1 continues to rotate clockwise, driving the conveyor belt 4 26 to flip the first medicine box 15, so that the openings of the two medicine boxes 15 touch and close.

[0058] S4. Optical axis 1 20 continues to rotate clockwise until it flips over to the bottom of the first medicine box 15 and contacts the conveyor belt 1 21. Optical axis 1 20 stops rotating and the serrated plate 34 is directly above the conveyor belt 1 21. The medicine boxes in the second medicine box 15 roll over again and roll into the first medicine box 15.

[0059] S5. The optical axis 20 rotates counterclockwise, and the serrated plate 34 engages with the gear 303 to drive the limit cylinder 4 52 in the multi-section telescopic mechanism 4 to extend upward, pushing the second medicine box 15 located above. Finally, the second medicine box 15 flips over and is on the same plane as the first medicine box 15. When the first medicine box 15 moves to just below the vision module 14, the optical axis 20 stops rotating, and the vision module 14 scans the medicine boxes in the first medicine box 15.

[0060] Working principle: When the intelligent manipulator has taken away all the medicine boxes with the traceability code facing downwards, only the medicine box with the traceability code facing upwards is left. At this time, when the medicine box with the traceability code facing upwards is in the first medicine box 15,

[0061] The starting motor 2 drives the optical axis 1 20 to rotate clockwise through the output shaft, and the optical axis 1 20 drives the optical axis 2 22 to rotate synchronously through the conveyor belt 1 21. At the same time, the conveyor belt 1 21 starts to transport the two medicine boxes 15 to move in the direction of the conveyor belt 4 26. While the optical axis 1 20 rotates clockwise, it also drives the optical axis 3 25 to rotate synchronously through the conveyor belt 3 24. The optical axis 3 25 rotates and drives the optical axis 4 27 to rotate synchronously through the conveyor belt 4 26. When the first medicine box 15 contacts the outer wall of the conveyor belt 4 26, the friction force between the conveyor belt 4 26 and the first medicine box 15 is directed upward, and at the same time, the conveyor belt 1 21 pushes the two medicine boxes 15 to move in the direction of the conveyor belt 4 26, that is, the first medicine box 15 After the medicine box 15 flips upward and the angle between the first medicine box 15 and the second medicine box 15 is ninety degrees, the optical axis 120 begins to stand still, and the medicine boxes in the first medicine box 15 roll into the second medicine box 15, so that the traceability codes of most medicine boxes face downward. At the same time, a part of the serrated plate 34 will be located directly above the conveyor belt 121. Finally, the optical axis 120 rotates counterclockwise, and the friction between the conveyor belt 4 26 and the first medicine box 15 is downward. At the same time, the conveyor belt 121 transports the second medicine box 15 away from the conveyor belt 4 26. Until the second medicine box 15 is directly below the vision module 14, the optical axis 120 stops rotating and the serrated plate 34 is completely away from the top of the conveyor belt 121.

[0062] If there are still a few medicine boxes with traceability codes facing upwards in the second medicine box 15, the optical axis 1 20 continues to rotate clockwise. In summary, after the angle between the first medicine box 15 and the second medicine box 15 is 90 degrees, the optical axis 1 20 continues to rotate clockwise, and the friction between the conveyor belt 4 26 and the first medicine box 15 is upward. At the same time, the second medicine box 15 pushes the first medicine box 15 to make the first medicine box 15 flip over, that is, the opening of the first medicine box 15 contacts the opening of the second medicine box 15, and then the two medicine boxes 15 are turned over 180 degrees in conjunction with the conveyor belt 4 26 and the conveyor belt 1 21. The first medicine box 15 is located directly below the second medicine box 15, and then the optical axis 1 20 rotates counterclockwise. When one side of the first medicine box 15 originally located below The gear 303 contacts the serrated plate 34, and the serrated plate 34 moves in the direction away from the bracket 12, thereby activating the multi-section telescopic mechanism 4 to extend the length of the limit cylinder four 52 upward, so that the second medicine box 15 originally located above is pushed outward by the limit cylinder four 52, so that the opening of the first medicine box 15 is exposed. Until the first medicine box 15 moves to the bottom of the visual module 14, the optical axis 20 is stationary. At the same time, due to the previous disengagement of the serrated plate 34 from the gear 303, the rotation causes the coil spring 36 to generate a first elastic potential energy. When the serrated plate 34 disengages from the gear 303, the coil spring 36 automatically rotates in the opposite direction of the previous rotation through the first elastic potential energy, and the limit cylinder four 52 begins to shrink in length to facilitate the subsequent continuation of the cycle operation.
