[0014] The drawings are only used for illustrative purposes and should not be construed as limitations on this patent. In order to better illustrate this embodiment, some parts of the drawings may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced, and do not represent the size of the actual product. For those skilled in the art, it is understandable that some well-known structures and their descriptions in the drawings may be omitted.

[0015] like Figure 1 As shown, a medicine storage mechanism of an automated pharmacy includes a medicine box lifting unit and a medicine box tilting hopper unit, wherein the medicine box lifting unit has an output port 11, the medicine box tilting hopper unit is located behind the output port 11, the medicine box tilting hopper unit has a driving assembly and a silo 21, wherein the driving assembly is connected to the silo 21, the silo 21 has an inclined position and a horizontal position, the silo 21 is located on one side of the output port 11, and the driving assembly is arranged on the medicine box lifting unit.

[0016] Furthermore, the driving assembly includes an electric cylinder 22, a push rod 23, a connecting rod 24, and a rotating shaft 25, wherein the electric cylinder 22 is connected to the push rod 23, which pushes the connecting rod 24, the connecting rod 24 is connected to the rotating shaft 25, the silo 21 is fixedly set on the rotating shaft 25, and the electric cylinder 22 is used to drive the silo 21 to rotate around the rotating shaft 25.

[0017] like Figure 2As shown, further, a waisted hole 231 is provided in the middle of the push rod 23, and the connecting rod 24 has a first end 241 and a second end 242, the first end 241 is provided in the waisted hole 231, and the second end 242 is connected to one end of the rotating shaft 25.
