Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of medical storage equipment technology, specifically, it relates to a medical rotary shelving intelligent picking guidance device and method. Background Technology

[0002] In pharmaceutical warehousing, hospital pharmacies, and retail pharmacies, medicines are typically stored in categories using shelves and storage boxes. To ensure a stable supply of medicines, it is necessary to regularly monitor the remaining amount of medicines in the storage boxes and replenish them in a timely manner when the amount is insufficient to meet daily medication needs.

[0003] Currently, the industry generally uses manual inspection to check the remaining amount of medicine. When the remaining amount is found to be insufficient, the operator manually locates the corresponding storage box, opens the relevant replenishment structure to replenish the medicine, and then manually closes the replenishment port and restores the equipment to its initial state after replenishment. The entire process relies on manual operation. However, the existing method of replenishing drug storage has obvious drawbacks: First, manual inspection is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and is prone to omissions and misjudgments due to human negligence, resulting in some storage boxes with insufficient reserves not being detected in time, affecting the continuity of drug supply; Second, there is a lack of automated connection between reserve identification and replenishment preparation, requiring manual intervention to complete multiple steps, which not only increases the labor intensity of operators, but also reduces the efficiency of preparation before replenishment; Third, the replenishment process lacks precise alignment design, which is prone to replenishment misalignment problems, and the opening and closing of the replenishment port often requires additional drive components or manual operation, which increases the complexity of the equipment structure, increases energy consumption and the probability of failure, and may also cause dust and moisture to enter the storage box due to untimely closing or poor sealing of the replenishment port, affecting the quality of drug storage. In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a medical rotary shelf intelligent picking and guiding device and method that can overcome or at least partially solve the above problems.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A medical rotary shelving intelligent picking and guiding device includes an outer shell and a rotary shelving unit disposed inside the outer shell for vertical circulation storage of medicines. It further includes: multiple sets of support plates on the rotary shelving unit, each equidistantly arranged with multiple storage boxes for storing medicines; multiple replenishment ports corresponding to storage boxes on one set of support plates on the outer shell; a lifting groove communicating with the replenishment ports on the outer shell; a slidably connected sealing partition for opening and closing the replenishment ports within the lifting groove; an elastic reset component disposed within the lifting groove, used to drive the sealing partition to move upward and reset after replenishment, restoring the replenishment ports to a closed state; a trigger mechanism between the support plates and the storage boxes for real-time sensing of the remaining medicine level in the storage boxes; a toggle mechanism on the support plates, which extends and pushes the sealing partition downward to open the replenishment ports after triggering; and a control unit on the sealing partition for controlling the operation and stopping of the rotary shelving unit.

[0006] Preferably, the inner walls on both sides of the storage box are provided with sliding grooves, a fixed plate is slidably connected inside the storage box, the side wall of the fixed plate is integrally formed with a protrusion, the protrusion is slidably connected in the sliding groove, a spring is fixedly connected between the fixed plate and the inner wall of the storage box, and a groove is provided on the fixed plate.

[0007] Furthermore, a piston cylinder is provided directly below the storage box, and the piston cylinder is fixedly connected to the support plate. A piston disc is slidably connected inside the piston cylinder, and the piston disc is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the storage box through a connecting rod. A spring is provided inside the piston cylinder, with one end of the spring fixedly connected to the piston disc and the other end fixedly connected to the inner wall of the piston cylinder. A groove is provided on the fixed plate, and an expansion air bladder is provided in the groove. The piston cylinder is connected to the expansion air bladder through an interconnecting pipe.

[0008] Furthermore, the triggering mechanism includes two touch switches, which are respectively fixedly installed on the inner walls of the upper and lower ends of the piston cylinder, and the piston disc is located between the two touch switches.

[0009] Preferably, the actuating mechanism includes a pressure block, a lever, and an electric telescopic rod. The pressure block is slidably connected to the lower end face of the support plate, and the end of the pressure block penetrates through the side wall of the support plate. The lever is fixedly connected to the upper side wall of the closed partition and corresponds to the pressure block. The electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the support plate, and the pressure block is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod.

[0010] Furthermore, the control unit includes a first conductive sheet and a second conductive sheet that cooperate with each other. The first conductive sheet is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the lever plate, and the second conductive sheet is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer shell and located at the lower end of the medicine inlet. When the first conductive sheet and the second conductive sheet are in contact, an electrical connection circuit is formed, and the control unit issues a stop command to stop the rotary rack from operating. When the first conductive sheet and the second conductive sheet are separated, the electrical connection circuit is broken, and the control unit issues a start command to resume the operation of the rotary rack.

[0011] Preferably, the elastic reset component includes a spring symmetrically arranged in the lifting groove, one end of the spring being fixedly connected to the lower end face of the closed partition, and the other end being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lifting groove.

[0012] Furthermore, a damping block is slidably connected above the closed partition in the lifting groove, and a second spring is provided in the lifting groove. One end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the damping block, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lifting groove.

[0013] Preferably, guide rods are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the lower end face of the storage box, and the guide rods are slidably connected to the support plate.

[0014] The operating method for using the intelligent picking and guiding equipment for medical rotary shelves includes the following steps: Step 1: The rotary shelving unit starts up inside the outer shell and begins vertical circulation of medicines, with each storage box moving synchronously with the support plate; Step 2: The triggering mechanism monitors the remaining amount of medicine in each storage box in real time. When it detects that the remaining amount of medicine in a certain storage box is insufficient, the triggering mechanism sends a signal to the actuating mechanism to control the actuating mechanism to extend to the working position. Step 3: When the storage box with insufficient medicine is moved to the corresponding medicine replenishment port position by the rotary shelf, the extended actuating mechanism contacts the closed partition at the medicine replenishment port and pushes the closed partition to move downward along the lifting groove during the continuous operation of the shelf. Step 4: When the closed partition moves to the position where the medicine replenishment port is fully open, the control unit is triggered and sends a stop signal, and the rotary rack stops operating; Step 5: The operator replenishes the medicine into the corresponding storage box through the opened medicine replenishment port; Step Six: After the medicine is replenished, the triggering mechanism, actuation mechanism and control unit are reset in sequence. The sealing partition moves up and resets along the lifting groove under the elastic force of the elastic reset component, closing the medicine replenishment port. At the same time, the rotary shelf resumes operation and continues the vertical circulation of medicine.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art: This invention triggers a mechanism to detect the remaining drug levels in real time, eliminating the need for manual inspection and avoiding the time and labor costs of manual patrols. It also eliminates the risk of missed detections and misjudgments, ensuring that storage boxes with insufficient levels are detected in a timely manner, thus guaranteeing a continuous supply of medicines. When the remaining amount is insufficient, the triggering mechanism automatically triggers the extension of the toggle mechanism without manual intervention, realizing the automated connection between remaining amount identification and replenishment preparation, reducing manual operation steps and improving the efficiency of replenishment preparation. The replenishment port and storage box correspond one-to-one to avoid misplacement and ensure accuracy. The closed partition is moved by using the power of the shelf to drive the movement of the shelf, eliminating the need for additional drive components, simplifying the equipment structure and reducing energy consumption and failure probability. The shelf only stops when the closed partition is fully opened, avoiding inconvenience or positional displacement when replenishing materials, improving the convenience and safety of replenishment. The convenient opening of the medicine replenishment port is precisely aligned with the storage box, reducing the range of movements and adjustment time for operators, and reducing labor intensity. After replenishment, the triggering mechanism, actuation mechanism, and control unit automatically reset, and the sealing partition automatically closes under the action of the elastic reset component, eliminating the need for manual closure of the replenishment port, reducing operations. The tightly closed replenishment port isolates dust and moisture, preventing the medicine from being contaminated by moisture and ensuring storage quality. The shelf automatically resumes operation without affecting the access needs of other storage boxes.

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0020] Example 1: Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 A medical rotary shelving intelligent picking and guiding device includes an outer shell 1 and a rotary shelving unit disposed inside the outer shell 1 for vertical circulation storage of medicines. It further includes: multiple sets of support plates 105 on the rotary shelving unit, each equidistantly arranged with multiple storage boxes 3 for storing medicines; multiple replenishment ports 101 corresponding to each other on the outer shell 1, each replenishment port 101 being equidistantly distributed and corresponding to a storage box 3 on one of the support plates 105; and a lifting groove 102 communicating with the replenishment ports 101 on the outer shell 1, with a useful... The refill port 101 is equipped with a closed partition 103; an elastic reset member is provided in the lifting groove 102, which is used to drive the closed partition 103 to move upward and reset after the refill operation is completed, so that the refill port 101 returns to the closed state; a triggering mechanism is provided between the support plate 105 and the storage box 3, which is used to sense the remaining amount of medicine in the storage box 3 in real time; a toggle mechanism is provided on the support plate 105, which can extend and push the closed partition 103 downward to open the refill port 101 after being triggered; a control unit is provided on the closed partition 103, which is used to control the operation and stop of the rotary shelf.

[0021] The vertical rotary rack used in this application is the same as the vertical rotary rack in the patent with application number 201910099577.5. Since the core structure (three-dimensional frame, transmission components, guide rail layout) and operation logic (motor drive, cyclic motion, path optimization) of the vertical rotary rack involved in this application are consistent with that patent, its operation mode will not be described in detail here. The rotary shelving unit starts up and circulates medicines vertically within the outer shell 1. Each storage box 3 moves synchronously with the support plate 105. The triggering mechanism detects the remaining amount of medicine in each storage box 3 in real time, eliminating the need for operators to manually check each one. This design avoids the time-consuming and labor-intensive problem of manual inspection, and also eliminates the possibility of missed detection and misjudgment when manually judging the remaining amount. It ensures that storage boxes 3 with insufficient medicine are detected in time, thus ensuring the continuity of medicine supply. When it is detected that the remaining amount of medicine in a certain storage box 3 is insufficient, the triggering mechanism sends a signal to the actuating mechanism, which controls the actuating mechanism to extend to the preset working position. This triggering action does not require manual intervention, realizing the automatic connection from the detection of insufficient remaining amount to the replenishment preparation action, reducing manual operation steps and improving the efficiency of replenishment preparation. When the storage box 3 with insufficient medicine is moved to the corresponding replenishment port 101 position by the rotary shelf, the extended actuating mechanism contacts the closed partition 103 at the replenishment port 101 and pushes the closed partition 103 to move downward along the lifting groove 102 during the continuous operation of the shelf. The one-to-one correspondence between the replenishment port 101 and the storage box 3 avoids misalignment during replenishment and ensures the accuracy of replenishment. At the same time, the closed partition 103 is moved by the power of the shelf operation, without the need for additional drive components, which simplifies the equipment structure and reduces energy consumption and failure probability. When the closed partition 103 moves to the position where the replenishment port 101 is fully open, the control unit is triggered and sends a stop signal, and the rotary rack stops operating. This design ensures that the rack stops only after the replenishment port 101 is fully open, avoiding inconvenience for operators to replenish materials due to the closed partition 103 not being fully open, or the relative position of the storage box 3 and the replenishment port 101 shifting due to the rack not stopping in time, further improving the convenience and safety of replenishment operations. After the shelf stops, the operator can directly replenish the medicine into the corresponding storage box 3 through the opened medicine replenishment port 101. The convenient opening design of the medicine replenishment port 101 and the precise alignment with the storage box 3 reduce the operator's movement range and adjustment time when replenishing, improve replenishment efficiency, and reduce labor intensity. After the medicine is replenished, the triggering mechanism, the actuating mechanism and the control unit automatically reset in sequence. Under the elastic force of the elastic reset member, the closed partition 103 moves upward along the lifting groove 102 to reset, tightly closing the medicine replenishment port 101. At the same time, the rotary shelf automatically resumes vertical circulation. The elastic reset member drives the closed partition 103 to close automatically, eliminating the need for manual closing of the medicine replenishment port 101 and further reducing manual operation. The tight closure of the medicine replenishment port 101 can effectively prevent external dust, moisture and other impurities from entering the interior of the outer shell 1, avoiding the medicine from getting damp and contaminated, and ensuring the quality of medicine storage. The automatic resumption of the shelf operation ensures that the equipment quickly returns to normal working status and does not affect the medicine storage and retrieval needs of other storage boxes 3.

[0022] Example 2: Refer to Figure 5 A medical rotary shelf intelligent picking and guiding device is basically the same as that in Embodiment 1. Furthermore, the inner walls of both sides of the storage box 3 are provided with sliding grooves 303. A fixing plate 301 is slidably connected inside the storage box 3. The side wall of the fixing plate 301 is integrally formed with a protrusion. The protrusion is slidably connected in the sliding groove 303. A spring 302 is fixedly connected between the fixing plate 301 and the inner wall of the storage box 3. A groove is provided on the fixing plate 301. When placing medicine into storage box 3, the operator first pushes the fixing plate 301 towards the side closer to spring 302. The fixing plate 301 slides smoothly along the slide groove 303 through the protrusion, while compressing spring 302. During the sliding process, the cooperation between the groove and the protrusion can prevent the fixing plate 301 from detaching from storage box 3 when sliding, ensuring operational safety. After the fixing plate 301 moves to one side of the storage box 3 and leaves enough space, the operator places the medicines to be stored into the storage box 3 in sequence. After the medicines are placed, the operator slowly releases the fixing plate 301. At this time, the compressed spring 302 releases its elastic potential energy and generates a pushing force to the other side, pushing the fixing plate 301 to move in the opposite direction along the slide 303 until the fixing plate 301 is tightly against the side wall of the medicine. Since the elastic force of the spring 302 can automatically adjust the clamping force according to the number of medicines, it can ensure that the medicines are stably clamped without damaging the medicine packaging due to excessive clamping force. At the same time, the cooperation between the fixing plate 301 and the inner wall of the storage box 3 forms a two-way limit, which can effectively prevent the medicines from shifting or colliding due to vibration and shaking during the operation of the rotary shelf, reduce the risk of medicine damage, and ensure the safety of medicine storage.

[0023] Example 3: Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 A medical rotary shelf intelligent picking and guiding device is basically the same as that in Embodiment 1. However, a piston cylinder 4 is provided directly below the storage box 3. The piston cylinder 4 is fixedly connected to the support plate 105. A piston disc 401 is slidably connected inside the piston cylinder 4. The piston disc 401 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the storage box 3 through a connecting rod 402. A spring 403 is provided inside the piston cylinder 4. One end of the spring 403 is fixedly connected to the piston disc 401, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the piston cylinder 4. A groove is provided on the fixing plate 301. An inflatable air bladder 304 is provided in the groove. The piston cylinder 4 is connected to the inflatable air bladder 304 through an interconnecting pipe 404. When medicine is placed in storage box 3, the weight of the medicine causes storage box 3 to move downward. The connecting rod 402 pulls piston plate 401 to move downward along piston cylinder 4. At this time, spring 403 in piston cylinder 4 is compressed. The design of the compression spring can quickly provide a restoring force when the weight of the medicine is lost, without relying on other power sources, saving energy. As piston plate 401 moves downward, the gas pre-stored in piston cylinder 4 is squeezed and the pressure increases. The compressed gas is quickly filled into expansion bladder 304 through interconnect pipe 404, causing expansion bladder 304 to expand along the groove contour until it is tightly attached to the side wall of the medicine. During this process, the flexible material of expansion bladder 304 can adapt to medicine packaging of different shapes and sizes, such as round medicine bottles and square medicine boxes, to avoid compression damage to medicine packaging caused by rigid clamping. At the same time, the tightly attached bladder can fill the gap between medicine and fixed plate 301, enhance the stability of medicine in storage box 3, prevent medicine from shifting or colliding due to vibration when the shelf is running, and reduce the risk of medicine deterioration and packaging damage. As the medicine is gradually used, the total weight of the medicine in storage box 3 decreases, reducing the pressure on storage box 3. At this time, the compressed spring 403 releases its elastic potential energy, generating an upward thrust that pushes the piston disc 401 upward along the inner wall of the piston cylinder 4. The elastic potential energy of spring 403 is stable, and it can precisely adjust the thrust according to the change in the weight of the medicine, ensuring that the piston disc 401 moves slowly and avoiding excessive gas backflow that could cause the air bladder to contract suddenly. The upward movement of the piston disc 401 increases the space inside the piston cylinder 4, reducing the pressure. Under the action of the pressure difference, the gas in the inflatable air bladder 304 naturally flows back into the piston cylinder 4 through the interconnecting pipe 404, and the air bladder gradually contracts and returns to its initial state. As the medicine is removed and its weight decreases, the compressed spring 403 releases its elastic potential energy, pushing the piston disc 401 upward. At this time, the gas filled in the expansion bladder 304 flows back into the piston cylinder 4 as the piston disc 401 gradually moves upward. This design requires no manual operation. When the operator replenishes the medicine, the contracted bladder will not obstruct the newly placed medicine, facilitating quick placement of the medicine and improving replenishment efficiency. At the same time, the bidirectional gas flow structure is simple and reliable, without complex valve components, reducing failure points, lowering equipment maintenance costs, and ensuring long-term stable operation.

[0024] It should be noted that the interconnecting pipe 404 is a stretchable and retractable flexible hose, therefore, the interconnecting pipe 404 will not interfere with the movement of the storage box 3 and the fixing plate 301.

[0025] Example 4: Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8A medical rotary shelf intelligent picking and guiding device is basically the same as that in Embodiment 1. Furthermore, the triggering mechanism includes two normally closed pressure touch switches 502. The two touch switches 502 are respectively fixedly installed on the inner walls of the upper and lower ends of the piston cylinder 4. The sensing end faces the piston disc 401 and a detection gap is reserved. They are electrically connected to the controller of the electric telescopic rod 501 of the toggle mechanism through wires. The actuating mechanism includes a pressure block 5, a lever plate 503, and an electric telescopic rod 501. The pressure block 5 is slidably connected to the lower end face of the bearing plate 105, and the end of the pressure block 5 penetrates through the side wall of the bearing plate 105. The lever plate 503 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the upper end of the closed partition 103 and corresponds to the pressure block 5. The electric telescopic rod 501 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the bearing plate 105, and the pressure block 5 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 501. The control unit consists of a copper conductive sheet 504 and a conductive sheet 505. The conductive sheet 504 is attached to the lower end face of the lever plate 503 with conductive adhesive. The conductive sheet 505 is fixed to the inside wall of the outer casing 1 directly below the medicine inlet 101 by an insulating support plate. The two are in the same vertical plane and form a circuit with the rotary shelf drive motor controller through wires. When the medicine in storage box 3 is sufficient, the gravity of the medicine will cause storage box 3 to press downward. The connecting rod 402 will cause piston disc 401 to be located below piston cylinder 4 and to contact the lower touch switch 502. At this time, the control circuit of the triggering mechanism is kept disconnected, the electric telescopic rod 501 is in the retracted state, and the end of the pressure block 5 is kept on the same plane as the side wall of the bearing plate 105. This design can avoid collision and interference with other parts of the shelf when the pressure block 5 is extended, and ensure the stable and cyclical operation of the rotary shelf. As medicines are continuously used, the weight of storage box 3 gradually decreases. Under the elastic force of spring 403, piston disc 401 moves upward and disengages from lower touch switch 502. When the remaining medicine amount drops to a preset threshold (e.g., 1 / 4 remaining), piston disc 401 moves upward to contact upper touch switch 502, causing the control circuit to be closed by pressure. This method uses mechanical contact touch switch 502, whose contacts are not affected by dust and medicine debris commonly found in hospital pharmacies, effectively reducing the failure rate compared to photoelectric sensors. After receiving the conduction signal, the electric telescopic rod 501 quickly extends, pushing the pressure block 5 outward. When the storage box 3 rotates to the position of the medicine replenishment port 101, the lower end face of the pressure block 5 contacts the upper end face of the lever plate 503. As the shelf rotates, it pushes the closed partition 103 down along the lifting groove 102. When the closed partition 103 fully opens the medicine replenishment port 101, the conductive sheet 504 at the lower end of the lever plate 503 contacts the conductive sheet 505 on the inner wall of the outer shell 1, causing the drive motor to be immediately de-energized and the rotary shelf to stop running. At the same time, due to the excellent conductivity of the copper conductive sheet and the contact resistance ≤0.1Ω, it can ensure that the control signal has no delay, making the positioning accuracy control of the medicine replenishment port 101 more accurate. After the operator replenishes the medicine through the opened medicine inlet 101, the weight of the storage box 3 increases, causing the piston plate 401 to move down and disengage from the upper touch switch 502, and then re-engage with the lower touch switch 502, thus disconnecting the trigger circuit. Upon receiving the disconnection signal, the electric telescopic rod 501 retracts, causing the pressure block 5 to return to its initial position. At the same time, the sealing partition 103 moves up and resets under the elastic force of the spring 104, and the conductive sheet 504 separates from the conductive sheet 505, thus disconnecting the drive motor control circuit. The rotary shelf then resumes its cyclic operation. This fully mechanical and electrical hybrid control method can effectively reduce the failure rate compared to pure software control.

[0026] Example 5: Refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 A medical rotary shelf intelligent picking and guiding device is basically the same as that in Embodiment 1. Furthermore, the elastic reset component includes springs 104 symmetrically arranged in the lifting groove 102. The springs are made of stainless steel compression springs. One end of the springs 104 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the closed partition 103, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lifting groove 102. When the closed partition 103 is pushed downward by the push plate 503, it needs to overcome the elastic force of the spring 104 and move down along the lifting groove 102. At this time, the spring 104 is compressed and stores elastic potential energy. Since the two springs 104 are symmetrically distributed, the supporting force on the closed partition 103 is balanced, which avoids the closed partition 103 from jamming or tilting due to uneven force during the downward movement, and ensures that the opening process of the medicine port 101 is smooth and will not affect the medicine replenishment efficiency due to component jamming. When the pressure on the lever 503 is removed, the spring 104 releases its stored elastic potential energy, generating an upward elastic force that pushes the closed partition 103 upward along the lifting groove 102. The elastic potential energy of the compressed spring is stable and persistent, providing a continuous and uniform reset force for the closed partition 103, ensuring that the closed partition 103 rises smoothly until its top contacts the top of the lifting groove 102, so that the medicine replenishment port 101 is completely closed. This prevents the closed partition 103 from shifting during reset, ensuring that the medicine replenishment port 101 is tightly closed, effectively preventing external dust and impurities from entering the equipment and contaminating the medicine, and ensuring the hygiene of medicine storage. At the same time, the stainless steel spring 104 is highly corrosion-resistant, not easily rusted or damaged, and can maintain stable elastic performance for a long time.

[0027] Example 6: Refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9A medical rotary shelf intelligent picking and guiding device is basically the same as that in Embodiment 1. Furthermore, a damping block 2 is slidably connected above the closed partition 103 in the lifting groove 102. The damping block 2 is a rectangular block made of rubber. A second spring 201 is provided in the lifting groove 102. One end of the second spring 201 is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the damping block 2, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lifting groove 102. The elastic coefficient of the second spring 201 is less than that of the first spring 104. In its natural state, the second spring 201 pushes the damping block 2 to keep it in contact with the closed partition 103. When the closed partition 103 is reset upward under the elastic force of spring 104, the upper end face of the closed partition 103 pushes the damping block 2 to move upward synchronously, and spring 201 is compressed. Since the damping block 2 is made of rubber, friction will be generated between it and the inner wall of the lifting groove 102. At the same time, the elastic force of spring 201 will moderately hinder the upward speed of the closed partition 103, slowing down the upward speed of the closed partition 103, effectively buffering the impact force when the closed partition 103 is reset, and preventing it from hitting the top of the lifting groove 102 quickly due to the excessive elastic force of spring 104. This reduces the operating noise of the equipment, reduces the rigid collision loss between components, and extends the service life of the closed partition 103 and the lifting groove 102. When the sealing partition 103 returns to the position of fully closing the drug supply port 101, the damping block 2, under the continuous elastic force of the spring 201, maintains close contact with the sealing partition 103 and applies slight and uniform pressure to the sealing partition 103. This pressure can enhance the fit between the sealing partition 103 and the edge of the drug supply port 101, further improve the sealing performance of the drug supply port 101, effectively prevent external dust and moisture from entering the equipment and contaminating the medicine, and ensure the cleanliness of the medicine storage environment. When the closed partition 103 is pushed downward by the push plate 503, the lower end face of the closed partition 103 contacts the spring 104 and compresses the spring 104. At the same time, the upper end face of the closed partition 103 naturally separates from the damping block 2. At this time, the damping block 2 moves downward under the elastic force of the spring 201 until the spring 201 returns to its natural state. Throughout the process, the damping block 2 will not hinder the downward movement of the closed partition 103, ensuring that the opening process of the medicine inlet 101 is smooth and that the medicine replenishment operation efficiency is not affected by the existence of the damping structure. This achieves a balance between the dual requirements of buffer protection and smooth operation.

[0028] Example 7: Refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 A medical rotary shelf intelligent picking and guiding device is basically the same as that in Embodiment 1. Furthermore, guide rods 305 are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the lower end face of the storage box 3, and the guide rods 305 are slidably connected to the bearing plate 105. When medicine is placed in storage box 3, the weight of the medicine causes storage box 3 to move downward. The guide rod 305 on the lower end of storage box 3 slides downward along the support plate 105 synchronously with storage box 3, ensuring that storage box 3 remains horizontal during the downward movement and avoiding tilting of storage box 3 due to uneven force. When medicine is taken out, the weight of storage box 3 is reduced, and the compressed spring 403 in piston cylinder 4 releases elastic potential energy, pushing storage box 3 upward. The guide rod 305 slides upward synchronously with storage box 3, limiting the movement trajectory of storage box 3 and preventing storage box 3 from deviating during the up and down movement, ensuring that the medicine in storage box 3 remains stable and reducing the collision and tipping of medicine caused by shaking of storage box 3. During the operation of the rotary rack, the support plate 105 drives the storage box 3 to make vertical circular motion. The cooperation between the guide rod 305 and the guide hole can enhance the connection stability between the storage box 3 and the support plate 105, avoid the storage box 3 from shaking on the support plate 105 due to the vibration generated by the rack operation, ensure that the storage box 3 is always in a stable state, and improve the safety of equipment operation.

[0029] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention.
