The upper trolley 332 is equipped with a trolley 332 drive device to control the movement of the trolley 332. A vertical slide 337 is fixed between the two trolleys 332. The charging platform 334 is slidably mounted on the slide 337. The charging platform 334 drive device on one side of the charging platform 334 is used to drive the charging platform 334 to move along the slide 337. The charging platform 334 can be moved to any slide position via the ground rail 331 and the slide 337. A charging conveyor belt 335 is installed on the charging platform 334, and the charging conveyor belt 335 is driven by a charging motor roller. The medicine-loading conveyor belt 335 docks with the medicine-feeding conveyor belt 25 at the medicine-loading grabbing point, receiving the medicines conveyed by the medicine-feeding conveyor belt 25. Retractable clamping units 336 are positioned on either side of the medicine-loading conveyor belt 335. These clamping units 336 can utilize electric actuators. The clamping units 336 function to center the medicines on the medicine-loading conveyor belt 335 when extended, ensuring that the medicine-loading conveyor belt 335 accurately delivers the medicines to the corresponding chute entrance.
[0040] Combine Figures 1 to 3 ,as well as Figure 5 As shown, the medicine dispensing conveyor belt 34 is arranged in front of the slide-type medicine dispensing module 32. The medicines ejected by the ejection device in each slide fall onto the medicine dispensing conveyor belt 34. The rotating medicine dispensing conveyor belt 34 transports the medicines to the outlet end. The outlet end of the medicine dispensing conveyor belt 34 is connected to the medicine dispensing conveyor belt 35 via a climbing belt 341. The climbing belt 341 is provided with spaced partitions. The sides of the medicine dispensing conveyor belt 34, the climbing belt 341, and the medicine dispensing conveyor belt 35 are all provided with baffles to prevent medicines from falling off.
[0041] In this embodiment, a plurality of dispensing windows 351 are provided on one side of the medicine dispensing conveyor belt 35.
