DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiment of the utility model clearer, the technical solution in the embodiment of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiment of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiment of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0022] The utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0023] A drug identification device 1, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, it includes a base 2 and a tray 3 arranged on the upper side of the base 2, a medicine receiver 31 is arranged on one side of the tray 3, a medicine receiving groove 32 is arranged in the medicine receiver 31, and a medicine outlet 33 is arranged on the front side, and the medicine receiving groove 32 is arranged with an opening on the side facing the tray 3.

[0024] The tray 3 is used to put in unpacked medicines. After the unpacked medicines are identified, the medicines are sent to the medicine receiver 31 by tilting the tray 3, and then the medicines are collected into a packaging bag or a packaging box through the opening on the front side of the medicine receiver 31 to improve the efficiency of drug delivery and collection.

[0025] More specifically, the lower side of the medicine receiving groove 32 is arc-shaped, and as a result, the area of ​​the medicine outlet 33 is smaller than the area of ​​the medicine receiving groove 32 .

[0026] like Figure 2 The utility model further comprises a weighing assembly 22, which is arranged on the upper side of the base 2, and the tray 3 is installed on the upper side of the weighing assembly 22. The weighing assembly 22 is used to weigh the weight of the medicines, and the quantity of the medicines can be calculated through the single weight and the total weight of the medicines, and the result of the visual inspection can be checked to ensure that the weight of a single tablet is within the specified range.

[0027] In a specific embodiment, a weighing frame 23 is disposed on the upper side of the weighing assembly 22, and a weighing slot 36 matching the weighing frame 23 is disposed on the lower side of the tray 3 to position the tray 3 and the weighing frame. The tray 3 is detachably disposed on the weighing frame 23.

[0028] More specifically, Figure 4 The front end of the weighing slot 36 is provided with an opening, the front side of the weighing frame 23 is provided with an inclined guide member 231, and the guide member 231 is clearance-matched with the identification platform 21; the weighing slot 36 is formed by the second limit member 35. It is convenient to pick up and place the tray.
