Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to an intelligent drug storage device. Background Technology
[0002] Pharmaceutical storage devices are equipment or systems specifically designed for the safe and effective storage of pharmaceuticals. Their core function is to ensure drug quality, extend shelf life, and ensure medication safety. Through scientific storage, pharmaceutical storage devices can effectively prevent drug degradation, inactivation, or misuse. Their importance is particularly evident in the fields of biological products, vaccines, and precision preparations that require special storage conditions. Modern devices also incorporate Internet of Things (IoT) technology to enable remote monitoring and anomaly warnings, further enhancing the safety and management efficiency of pharmaceutical storage.
[0003] Existing drug storage devices typically store medications through drawers inside the storage box. However, the drawer design requires reserved sliding space, resulting in a large amount of unused space inside the box. At the same time, the drawer size is fixed and cannot be dynamically adjusted according to the shape of the medication (such as bottles, boxes, injections), causing wasted space. For example, when storing small-sized medications, the remaining space inside the drawer is difficult to utilize, while large-sized medications may not be able to fit due to size mismatch. Furthermore, the storage device lacks an active anti-collision mechanism and relies solely on the outer shell of the box to passively withstand impacts. During transportation or movement, if a collision occurs, the drawer may slide out due to inertia, causing the medication to scatter or even break. Summary of the Invention

[0018] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0019] Please see Figure 1-7 As shown, an intelligent drug storage device includes a first box 1 and a second box 2, and a fixing plate 3 fixed to one side of the first box 1. A buffer assembly 4 is provided on one side of the fixing plate 3. The buffer assembly 4 includes a damper body 41 fixed to one side of the fixing plate 3. A protective plate 42 is fixed to one end of the damper body 41. A lidar body 43 is installed on one side of the fixing plate 3.
[0020] The buffer component 4 absorbs external impact energy, reducing the impact of collision vibration on the medicine. The protective plate 42 directly withstands external impact, protecting the integrity of the box structure. The protective plate 42 is made of high-strength material and directly withstands external impact to prevent box deformation. The lidar body 43 monitors the surrounding environment and detects obstacles when moving. The lidar body 43 in this application has the same structure and working principle as the lidar in application number 202120821830.6, realizing 360° obstacle detection without blind spots. It is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0021] Temperature sensor body 5 is installed on the inner wall of the second housing 2. A cooling assembly 6 is provided on one side of the second housing 2. The cooling assembly 6 includes a housing 61 fixed to one side of the second housing 2. A semiconductor cooler 62 is installed on the inner wall of the housing 61. A cooling fan 63 for cooling the medicine inside the second housing 2 is installed on the inner wall of the housing 61.
[0022] The temperature sensor body 5 in this application has the same structure and working principle as the temperature sensor in application number 202022843549.0, which monitors the temperature of the drug storage environment. This is prior art and will not be described in detail here. The temperature sensor body 5 monitors the temperature inside the second box 2 in real time. The cooling element is encapsulated in the shell 61 to form an independent cooling space. The cold end of the semiconductor cooler 62 is located inside the shell 61, and the hot end is located outside the shell 61. The semiconductor cooler 62 drives the semiconductor material with DC power to achieve directional heat transfer, thereby cooling at one end and heating at the other end. This is prior art and will not be described in detail here. The cooling fan 63 accelerates the circulation of cold air to ensure the temperature uniformity inside the box.
[0023] A support plate 7 is installed inside the second housing 2. A support rod 8 is rotatably connected to the top of the support plate 7. An annular placement plate 9 is slidably connected to the outside of the support rod 8. A fixing seat 10 is fixed at the axis of the annular placement plate 9. Multiple sets of mounting slots are opened in the inner cavity of the annular placement plate 9. A partition plate 11 is inserted into the inner wall of the mounting slot.
[0024] Multiple sets of ring-shaped storage trays 9 can be installed on the outside of the support rod 8. The medicines are stored in the ring-shaped storage trays 9. The ring-shaped storage trays 9 are divided into sections by the partitions 11. Different numbers of partitions 11 can be installed according to the size of the medicines, thereby adjusting the size of the compartments and improving space utilization.
[0025] A mounting plate 12 is fixed to the bottom of the inner cavity of the second housing 2. A toothed plate 13 is fixed to the top of the mounting plate 12. A support frame 29 is provided on the top of the mounting plate 12. A drive motor 14 is fixed to one side of the support frame 29. A drive gear 15 for pushing the support plate 7 out is fixed to the output end of the drive motor 14. The outer side of the drive gear 15 is meshed with the outer side of the toothed plate 13.
[0026] The drive motor 14 drives the drive gear 15 to rotate, causing the drive gear 15 to roll on the outside of the toothed plate 13, thereby driving the support plate 7 to move horizontally and push the annular placement tray 9 out of the second box 2, which facilitates the subsequent removal of medicines. At the same time, it can provide a support platform when using medicines, making it easier to find the medicines.
[0027] Multiple sets of support sleeves 16 are fixed on one side of the fixed plate 3. A slide rod 17 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the support sleeve 16. A connecting plate 18 is fixed to one end of the slide rod 17. One side of the connecting plate 18 is fixedly connected to one side of the protective plate 42. A buffer spring 19 is provided on the outer side of the support sleeve 16. The buffer spring 19 is located between the fixed plate 3 and the connecting plate 18.
[0028] When the protective plate 42 is hit, it will cause the connecting plate 18 to move, causing the slide rod 17 to slide inside the support sleeve 16, causing the buffer spring 19 to contract. The buffer spring 19 provides elastic restoring force. The support sleeve 16 and the slide rod 17 restrict the direction of movement and enhance the buffering stability. By using the buffer spring 19 in conjunction with the damper body 41, the effect of buffering and protecting the first box 1 is achieved. The spring and the damper work together to reduce shock. You can refer to the following URL: https: / / b2b.baidu.com / q / aland?q=1E210D280F3E1A227C6672007C0D0C2D730603701A0A742B073F&id=qid56736ba4235333db37116a3df2d74229&answer=4693159377256368586&utype=2. The working principle of a damper and spring working together is as follows: the damper converts vibration energy into heat energy or other forms of energy through internal friction, viscosity, or deformation. The damper absorbs and disperses energy, thereby reducing the system's amplitude and suppressing vibration. The spring, on the other hand, stores and releases energy through elastic deformation, helping the system return to equilibrium. When the damper and spring work together, the spring can absorb and disperse external shocks and vibrations, reducing their direct impact on the system. At the same time, the damper can effectively absorb the energy generated by these shocks and vibrations, converting it into other forms of energy and dissipating it, thus preventing the system from generating excessive amplitude due to energy accumulation. This synergistic approach can significantly improve the system's stability and performance. This technology is common knowledge to those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated upon here.
[0029] The inner wall of the first box 1 is slidably connected to multiple storage boxes 20, and the bottom of the first box 1 is fixed with a base plate 21, with universal wheels 22 provided at the four corners of the bottom of the base plate 21.
[0030] Storage box 20 is used to classify and store room temperature medicines or consumables, and casters 22 provide mobility, making it easy to deploy the device flexibly in the pharmacy.
[0031] Both the first box 1 and the second box 2 have a mounting frame 23 fixed on one side, and a collection frame 24 is snapped into the inner wall of the mounting frame 23.
[0032] The collection box 24 is inserted into the installation box 23 to install the collection box 24. The collection box 24 is used to collect waste packaging or expired medicines to achieve waste sorting management.
[0033] A fixing frame 25 is fixed to the top of the support frame 29, and the top of the fixing frame 25 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 7. A guide block 26 is fixed to the bottom of the support frame 29.
[0034] The support plate 7 is fixed by the fixing frame 25, and the stability of the support plate 7 when it moves is improved by the guide block 26.
[0035] A guide frame 27 is fixed to the top of the mounting plate 12, and a guide rod 28 is fixed to the inner wall of the guide frame 27. The outer side of the guide rod 28 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide block 26.
[0036] The drive motor 14 drives the drive gear 15 to rotate, causing the drive gear 15 to roll on the outside of the toothed plate 13, which in turn moves the support frame 29 and the support plate 7. This causes the guide block 26 to slide on the outside of the guide rod 28, allowing the support plate 7 to move horizontally and be pushed out of the second box 2. This provides a support platform when using medicines and also facilitates the retrieval of medicines.
[0037] The top of the fixed base 10 is fixed with an installation sleeve 30, and the inner wall of the installation sleeve 30 and the fixed base 10 are slidably connected to the outer side of the support rod 8. The inner cavity of the support rod 8 is provided with multiple sets of limiting holes 31. The inner wall of the installation sleeve 30 is threaded with a limiting bolt 32 for limiting the annular placement plate 9, and the outer side of the limiting bolt 32 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the limiting hole 31.
[0038] The annular placement plate 9 is snapped onto the outside of the support rod 8, and the mounting sleeve 30 is fixed to the outside of the support rod 8 by the limiting bolt 32 to limit the position of the annular placement plate 9. The mounting sleeve 30 can be fixed at the limiting holes 31 at different heights, which not only allows the height of the annular placement plate 9 to be adjusted, but also allows the annular placement plate 9 to be installed and disassembled as needed.
[0039] The top of the second housing 2 is fixed with a support platform 33, and a workbench 34 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the support platform 33. A pull plate 35 is fixed to one side of the workbench 34.
[0040] Pulling the pull plate 35 causes the worktable 34 to slide inside the support platform 33, thus pulling out the worktable 34 and providing a temporary operating surface.
[0041] A handle 36 is fixed to one side of the second box 2, and a door 37 is rotatably connected to one side of the second box 2 via a hinge. A viewing window 38 is provided on the inner wall of the door 37.
[0042] The handle 36 facilitates subsequent movement of the device, and the viewing window 38 allows for easy observation of the internal drug status.
[0043] Working Principle: In use, the buffer assembly 4 employs a damper body 41 and a buffer spring 19 working in tandem. When the protective plate 42 is impacted, the damper body 41 converts vibration energy into heat energy through internal viscous friction, while the buffer spring 19 absorbs the impact force through elastic deformation. Together, they suppress box vibration and protect medicines from impact. The lidar body 43 monitors the surrounding environment in real time, supporting 360° obstacle detection to prevent collisions. The protective plate 42 is made of high-strength material, directly withstanding external impacts to prevent box deformation. The temperature sensor body 5 monitors the internal temperature in real time. When the temperature exceeds a set threshold, the semiconductor cooler 62 is activated. DC power drives the N-type and P-type semiconductor junctions to generate a temperature difference. The cold end absorbs heat, while the hot end dissipates heat through the housing 61. The cooling fan 63 accelerates the circulation of cold air within the housing 61, ensuring even distribution of cooling to all corners of the box and preventing excessive local temperature differences. The annular storage tray 9 uses partitions 11 for partitioned storage; users can adjust the partitions according to the size of the medicines. The plate 11 is positioned to flexibly divide the grid size. The mounting sleeve 30 is fixed to the outside of the support rod 8 by the limiting bolt 32 to limit the position of the annular placement tray 9. The mounting sleeve 30 can be fixed at the limiting holes 31 at different heights. This not only allows for the adjustment of the height of the annular placement tray 9, but also allows for the installation and removal of the annular placement tray 9 as needed. The drive motor 14 drives the drive gear 15 to rotate, causing the drive gear 15 to roll on the outside of the toothed plate 13, which drives the support frame 29 and the support plate 7 to move. This causes the guide block 26 to slide on the outside of the guide rod 28, allowing the support plate 7 to move horizontally and be pushed out of the second box 2. This provides a support platform when using medicines and facilitates the retrieval of medicines. The workbench 34 can be pulled out by the pull plate 35 to provide a temporary operating surface for medical staff to dispense medicines or make records. The viewing window 38 allows for easy observation of the internal medicine status. The storage box 20 is used to classify and store room temperature medicines or consumables, and the collection box 24 is used to collect waste packaging or expired medicines, realizing waste classification management.
