[0028] The utility model provides a medicine discharging mechanism of an elevator with an anti-collision function.

[0029] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the elevator medicine dispensing mechanism with anti-collision function provided by the embodiment of the utility model includes a skeleton 10, a plurality of medicine slots 20 arranged on the skeleton 10 and spaced apart along the height direction of the skeleton 10, and an elevator assembly 30 arranged on the skeleton 10 and slidable along the height direction, wherein the elevator assembly 30 can be connected to one of the medicine slots 20, and the elevator assembly 30 includes a first transmitting and receiving module 40 arranged at the top and a second transmitting and receiving module 50 arranged at the bottom.

[0030] In this embodiment, when the elevator assembly 30 is rising or falling, the first transmitting and receiving module 40 located above the elevator assembly 30 and the second transmitting and receiving module 50 located below the elevator assembly 30 can sense in advance whether the medicine slot 20 protrudes from the up and down operation trajectory of the elevator assembly 30. When the medicine slot 20 is not correctly installed and protrudes from the up and down operation trajectory of the elevator assembly 30, the operation of the elevator assembly 30 can be stopped, thereby avoiding a collision between the elevator assembly 30 and the medicine slot 20.

[0031] The frame 10 is provided with two slide rails 11 extending in the height direction and sliders 12 slidably arranged on the slide rails 11, and both ends of the lift assembly 30 are simultaneously connected to the two sliders 12. In this embodiment, the sliders 12 can also be driven by a stepper motor 32 or a linear motor to achieve the purpose of moving the lift assembly 30 up and down.

[0032] In the above embodiment, the elevator assembly 30 includes a frame 31, a stepper motor 32 and a conveyor belt 33. The stepper motor 32 and the conveyor belt 33 are both arranged on the frame 31. The stepper motor 32 is connected to the conveyor belt 33 to drive the conveyor belt 33 to run along its extension direction. In this embodiment, a camera 34 is arranged on the frame 31. The camera 34 can take pictures of the medicines in the medicine trough 20. After verification, the medicines are discharged from the medicine trough 20 and fall into the conveyor belt 33 in the elevator assembly 30. The stepper motor 32 drives the conveyor belt 33 to bring the medicines into the medicine outlet through the synchronous wheel and synchronous belt transmission.

[0033] Among them, please refer to Figure 3-7 The first transmitting and receiving module 40 includes a first transmitting light sensor 41 and a first receiving light sensor 42, both of which are arranged on the frame 31 and located above the conveyor belt 33. The first receiving light sensor 42 and the first transmitting light sensor 41 are arranged opposite to each other to receive the signal of the first transmitting light sensor 41. The first transmitting light sensor 41 and the first receiving light sensor 42 are respectively fixedly arranged at both ends of the conveyor belt 33 along its extension direction.

[0034] The second transmitting and receiving module 50 includes a second transmitting light sensor 51 and a second receiving light sensor 52, both of which are arranged on the frame 31 and located below the conveyor belt 33. The second receiving light sensor 52 and the second transmitting light sensor 51 are arranged opposite to each other to receive the signal of the second transmitting light sensor 51. The second transmitting light sensor 51 and the second receiving light sensor 52 are respectively fixedly arranged at both ends of the conveyor belt 33 along its extension direction, the first transmitting light sensor 41 is located above the second transmitting light sensor 51, and the second receiving light sensor 52 is located above the second receiving light sensor 52.

[0035] In this embodiment, when the elevator assembly 30 rises and falls, the first transmitting and receiving module 40 and the second transmitting and receiving module 50 are used to identify whether there are obstacles between the elevator assembly 30 and the medicine tank 20. If the medicine tank 20 blocks the light emitted by the light sensor, the elevator assembly 30 will automatically stop working. When the elevator assembly 30 rises, the first transmitting light sensor 41 emits light, and the first receiving light sensor 42 receives light. If the light can be received, the elevator rises, otherwise it stops. When the elevator assembly 30 falls, the second transmitting light sensor 51 emits light, and the second receiving light sensor 52 receives light. If the light can be received, the elevator falls, otherwise it stops, thereby avoiding the collision between the elevator assembly 30 and the medicine tank 20.

[0036] Specifically, the lift assembly 30 further includes mounting posts 35 and mounting plates 36 disposed at both ends of the conveyor belt 33, the first transmitting light sensor 41 and the second transmitting light sensor 51 are disposed on the mounting plates 36, and the first receiving light sensor 42 and the second receiving light sensor 52 are disposed on the mounting posts 35. In this embodiment, the light sensors are mounted by providing mounting posts 35 and mounting plates 36 to provide a mounting foundation, and at the same time, the stability of the light sensors during operation is improved, so as to improve the stability of the signal detection when the lift assembly 30 is ascending and descending.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, and does not limit the patent scope of the utility model. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the utility model specification and drawings under the concept of the utility model, or directly / indirectly used in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the utility model.
