Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of material guiding and conveying technology, and in particular to a material guiding mechanism applied to the loading and unloading mechanism of a storage cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] Material storage cabinets play a crucial role in the modern medical supply chain, ensuring safe management, precise distribution, and efficient storage and retrieval. With the upgrading of hospital logistics automation, intelligent storage cabinets must simultaneously meet stringent requirements such as space efficiency, high-frequency storage and retrieval, and process traceability. Current storage cabinet systems primarily rely on loading and unloading mechanisms for material guidance; however, current guidance methods are only manually operated, resulting in low efficiency. Furthermore, some material conveying robots on the market can only guide materials as a whole within the cabinet, offering a limited and simplistic guidance method. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem that this invention aims to solve is that current material guiding methods can only be operated manually, which is inefficient, while some material conveying robots on the market can only guide the internal materials as a whole during the material guiding process, resulting in a single material guiding method.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is: a material guiding mechanism applied to the loading and unloading mechanism of a storage cabinet, including a material conveying base, electrically controlled rotating translational tracks installed on both sides of the lower end of the material conveying base, an electrically controlled flip-type top cover plate movably mounted on the upper surface of the material conveying base, side-mounted annular guide rails fixed on both sides of the upper surface of the electrically controlled flip-type top cover plate, an electrically controlled material placement frame movably mounted inside the side-mounted annular guide rails, and an electrically controlled sliding opening limit frame movably mounted outside the electrically controlled material placement frame.

[0005] The lower surface of the material conveying base is symmetrically provided with bottom storage slots on both sides for installing electrically controlled rotating translational tracks.

[0006] The electrically controlled rotating translational track includes a first embedded synchronous worm gear assembly fixed on the top surface of the bottom receiving groove, a bottom rotating frame, and an electrically controlled track.

[0007] The electrically controlled material feeding frame includes an inner adjusting ring that is slidably installed inside a side-mounted annular guide rail, a second embedded synchronous worm gear assembly, and an arc-shaped material feeding box fixed to the side wall of the inner adjusting ring.

[0008] A plurality of arc-shaped guide frames are fixedly mounted on the outer arc-shaped surface of the arc-shaped material box.

[0009] The electrically controlled sliding opening limit frame includes an arc-shaped limit frame inserted inside the arc-shaped guide frame, a lateral adjustment motor fixed on the side wall of the arc-shaped guide frame, and a lateral adjustment gear set controlled by the lateral adjustment motor.

[0010] An embedded weight sensor module for monitoring the position of materials is fixedly mounted on the inner arc surface of the arc-shaped material box, and an annular toothed groove is opened on the outer arc surface of the inner adjustment ring.

[0011] An embedded weight sensor module for monitoring the position of materials is fixedly mounted on the inner arc surface of the arc-shaped limiting frame, and an arc-shaped toothed groove is provided on the outer arc surface of the arc-shaped limiting frame.

[0012] The upper surface of the material conveying base is movably fitted with bottom support wheels located on the bottom side of the arc-shaped material box.

[0013] An infrared positioning module and an electronic level sensor are fixedly mounted on the side wall of the arc-shaped material box.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are: (1) A material guiding mechanism for loading and unloading storage cabinets of the present invention has electrically controlled rotating translational tracks that can be rotated and adjusted on both sides of the lower end of the material conveying base, which can facilitate turning, translation and storage. (2) An electrically controlled flip-type top cover is movably mounted on the upper surface of the material conveying base, which can be adjusted according to the height of the loading port, so as to adapt to the loading and unloading mechanism of different storage cabinets; (3) Side-mounted annular guide rails are fixed on both sides of the upper surface of the electrically controlled flip-type top cover plate. An electrically controlled material placement frame is movably assembled inside the side-mounted annular guide rails. The angle of the electrically controlled material placement frame is adjusted in conjunction with the flip angle of the electrically controlled flip-type top cover plate, thereby ensuring the stability of the materials inside the electrically controlled material placement frame and facilitating the dumping of materials. (4) An electrically controlled sliding opening limit frame is movably installed on the outside of the electrically controlled material feeding frame, which can externally limit the materials inside the electrically controlled material feeding frame according to the needs of pouring, thereby facilitating material feeding control.

[0021] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the invention.

[0022] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0023] Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The guide mechanism shown is used in the loading and unloading mechanism of a storage cabinet. It includes a conveying base 1, electrically controlled rotating translational tracks 2 installed on both sides of the lower end of the conveying base 1, an electrically controlled flip-type top cover 3 movably mounted on the upper surface of the conveying base 1, the electrically controlled flip-type top cover 3 includes a flip adjustment plate hinged to one side of the upper end of the conveying base 1 and a lateral telescopic support rod for controlling the flip adjustment plate, and side-mounted annular guide rails 4 fixed on both sides of the upper surface of the electrically controlled flip-type top cover 3. An electrically controlled material placement frame 5 is movably mounted inside the side-mounted annular guide rail 4, and an electrically controlled sliding opening limit frame 6 is movably mounted on the outside of the electrically controlled material placement frame 5.

[0024] Adjustment principle: The material conveying base 1 is synchronously flipped and extended by the electrically controlled rotating and translating tracks 2 on both sides. When needed, the electrically controlled rotating and translating tracks 2 flip outward to form a perpendicular angle with the material conveying base 1. When the material conveying base 1 is moved to the outside of the loading and unloading mechanism by the electrically controlled rotating and translating tracks 2, the electrically controlled sliding opening limit frame 6 slides upward to limit the movement and ensure the stability of the material during the movement. An optical recognition module is installed on the electrically controlled sliding opening limit frame 6 to perform optical recognition of the material. The electrically controlled sliding opening limit frame 6 can be opened at a designated position for control. The electrically controlled flipping top cover 3 flips upward and then changes the angle of the electrically controlled material placement frame 5 to tilt the material at the designated position.

[0025] To facilitate bottom storage, the lower surface of the material conveying base 1 is symmetrically provided with bottom storage slots 101 for installing the electrically controlled rotating translational track 2.

[0026] To accommodate bottom angle adjustment and bottom translation adjustment, the electrically controlled rotating translation track 2 includes a first embedded synchronous worm gear assembly 21 fixed on the top surface of the bottom side storage groove 101, a bottom side rotating frame 22, and an electrically controlled track 23.

[0027] The first embedded synchronous worm gear assembly 21 includes a first synchronous motor installed inside the material conveying base 1, a first synchronous worm axially fixed on the rotating shafts on both sides of the first synchronous motor, and a first synchronous worm wheel meshing with the first synchronous worm. The first synchronous worm wheel is fixed on the upper end of the bottom rotating frame 22. The bottom rotating frame 22 is driven by the first synchronous worm wheel to drive the electric track 23 to adjust the angle.

[0028] The electrically controlled track 23 is existing technology, which controls the movement and steering adjustment of the entire material conveying base 1 through operation.

[0029] To facilitate internal rotation adjustment, the electrically controlled material feeding frame 5 includes an inner adjustment ring 51 that is slidably installed inside the side-mounted annular guide rail 4, a second embedded synchronous worm gear assembly 52, and an arc-shaped material feeding box 53 fixed on the side wall of the inner adjustment ring 51.

[0030] The second embedded synchronous worm gear assembly 52 includes a second synchronous motor installed inside the electrically controlled flip-type top cover 3, a lateral synchronous shaft meshing with the top gear of the second synchronous motor, a second lateral worm meshing with the lateral synchronous shaft, a second lateral worm gear meshing with the second lateral worm, and a second lateral gear axially fixed to the second lateral worm gear.

[0031] The second lateral gear engages with the inner adjusting ring 51 for transmission.

[0032] In order to limit and close the opening at the top of the arc-shaped material box 53, 12 arc-shaped guide frames 54 are fixedly installed on the outer arc-shaped surface of the arc-shaped material box 53.

[0033] The electrically controlled sliding opening limit frame 6 extends outward along the arc-shaped guide frame 54, thereby limiting and closing the upper opening of the arc-shaped material box 53. In this way, when the arc-shaped material box 53 is tilted upward and the feeding mechanism flips to guide the material, the material that does not need to be guided can be externally limited.

[0034] To accommodate the sliding adjustment limit, the electrically controlled sliding opening limit frame 6 includes an arc-shaped limit frame 61 inserted inside the arc-shaped guide frame 54, a lateral adjustment motor 62 fixed on the side wall of the arc-shaped guide frame 54, and a lateral adjustment gear set 63 controlled by the lateral adjustment motor 62.

[0035] The lateral adjustment motor 62 drives the arc-shaped limit frame 61 to slide and extend within the arc-shaped guide frame 54 through the lateral adjustment gear set 63.

[0036] To facilitate the monitoring of the position of internal materials, an embedded weight sensor module 531 for monitoring the position of materials is fixedly installed on the inner arc-shaped surface of the arc-shaped material box 53, and an annular toothed groove 511 is provided on the outer arc-shaped surface of the inner adjustment ring 51.

[0037] Materials are placed inside the arc-shaped material box 53, and the embedded weight sensor module 531 monitors the position of the materials. At the same time, it can control and limit the position of the material placement by the electrically controlled sliding opening limit frame 6 to avoid energy waste.

[0038] The second embedded synchronous worm gear assembly 52 meshes with the annular toothed groove 511. The second embedded synchronous worm gear assembly 52 controls the inner adjusting ring 51 to rotate and adjust, thereby changing the angle of the arc-shaped material box 53.

[0039] In order to monitor the internal limit, an external weight sensor module 611 for monitoring the position of materials is fixedly installed on the inner arc surface of the arc-shaped limit frame 61, and an arc-shaped toothed groove 612 is opened on the outer arc surface of the arc-shaped limit frame 61.

[0040] After the arc-shaped limiting frame 61 extends outward, the embedded weight sensor module 611 on the inner side monitors the limited material, thereby determining the position of the limited material in real time and ensuring monitoring stability.

[0041] The lateral adjustment gear set 63 meshes with the arc-shaped toothed groove 612 for transmission, and the lateral adjustment motor 62 drives the lateral adjustment gear set 63 to control the arc-shaped limit frame 61 to slide and adjust along the arc-shaped guide frame 54.

[0042] To ensure the stability of the bottom support, the upper surface of the material conveying base 1 is movably equipped with bottom support wheels 7 located on the bottom side of the arc-shaped material box 53.

[0043] To facilitate electronic monitoring, an infrared positioning module 8 and an electronic level sensor 9 are fixedly mounted on the side wall of the arc-shaped material box 53.

[0044] The infrared positioning module 8 uses optical measurement to measure the distance between the arc-shaped material box 53 and the storage basket of the upper and lower material mechanism of the storage cabinet, while the electronic level sensor 9 is used to monitor the horizontal angle of the arc-shaped material box 53 in real time, which can ensure the horizontal stability of the arc-shaped material box 53 during the operation of the equipment.

[0045] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of the present invention, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the inventive concept. The technical scope of this invention is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
