[0030] The medicine dispensing driving unit 33 drives the rotating medicine dispensing unit 32 to rotate, and the automatic medicine dispensing port 311 is located on the rotation path of the medicine dispensing blocking unit 322, so that the medicines between two adjacent medicine dispensing blocking units 322 can slide down from the automatic medicine dispensing port 311 when passing through the automatic medicine dispensing port 311.

[0031] The medicine storage box 31 may be provided with a cover 35 or a capacity-increasing auxiliary component 34. The cover 35 may make the medicine storage box 31 relatively sealed, and the capacity-increasing auxiliary component 34 may increase the capacity of the medicine storage box 31 and reduce the number of manual medicine replenishment.

[0032] The buffer element 4 includes a buffer portion 41 for receiving the medicines discharged by the automatic medicine dispensing element 3 and a manual switch 42 for releasing the medicines in the buffer portion 41. The buffer element 4 can be set to buffer the medicines for a period of time after the medicines are dispensed, and the user can receive the medicines in turn after all the medicines are dispensed, saving time.

[0033] The buffer section 41 is in an inclined tubular shape. The upper end of the buffer section 41 is connected to the automatic medicine dispensing member 3 . The buffer section 41 has a manual medicine dispensing port 412 . The manual medicine dispensing port 412 is opened at the lower end of the buffer section 41 .

[0034] In this embodiment, the lower end of the buffer portion 41 is inclined toward an end away from the automatic medicine dispensing unit 3 to facilitate medicine removal.

[0039] The installation position of the light emitting unit is relatively flexible, and is not limited to the buffer section 41, and can also be set outside the buffer section 41, or can also be set on the automatic medicine dispensing part 3 corresponding to the buffer section 41. The control unit includes a single-chip control board and a PLC, wherein the single-chip control board is electrically connected to the detection part 411 and the light emitting unit, and the single-chip control board can receive the signal sent by the detection part, and control the light color of the light emitting unit and whether it flashes.

[0040] The manual switch 42 has a first state of shielding the manual medicine outlet 412 and a second state of exposing the manual medicine outlet 412. When the manual switch 42 is in the first state, the medicine is shielded by the manual switch 42 and will not slide out of the manual medicine outlet 412, while when the manual switch 42 is in the second state, the manual medicine outlet 412 is exposed and the medicine slides down under the action of gravity.

[0041] The manual switch 42 includes a sealing plate 421 for abutting against the manual medicine outlet 412 , a pressing plate 422 for driving the sealing plate 421 to rotate, and a rotating block 423 for connecting with the pivot shaft 21 .

[0042] The sealing plate 421 is tilted, and in addition to covering the manual medicine outlet 412, it can also guide the medicine to slide down. The sealing plate 421 is located above the pressing plate 422, and is spaced apart from one end of the manual medicine outlet 412 from the pressing plate 422, so that a medicine bag for receiving medicines can be put on the end of the sealing plate 421 to receive the medicines.

[0043] The sealing plate 421 is in an arc shape with a lower middle and higher sides, which can prevent the medicine from sliding off the sides. The lower end of the sealing plate 421 is smaller than the upper end so as to better cooperate with the medicine bag.

[0044] The pressing plate 422 is used for being pressed by a user to drive the sealing plate 421 to rotate.

[0045] The fixing bar 2 is provided with a pivot shaft 21 , and the rotating block 423 of the manual switch 42 is pivotally connected to the pivot shaft 21 , driving the manual switch 42 to rotate relative to the pivot shaft 21 to switch to the first state or the second state.

[0046] In this embodiment, a torsion spring 22 is disposed on the pivot shaft 21 to keep the manual switch 42 in the first state when no user presses it.

[0047] Each of the fixing bars 2 is provided with a plurality of pivot shafts 21 to be pivotally connected with the rotating blocks 423 of the plurality of buffering elements 4. The fixing frame 1 can be provided with a plurality of fixing bars 2 at different heights, and each of the fixing bars 2 is provided with a plurality of automatic medicine dispensing elements 3 and a plurality of buffering elements 4.

[0048] The limiting member 5 includes a limiting block 51 and a driving assembly 52 for driving the limiting block 51 to move. The limiting block 51 is provided with a giving way opening 511 for giving way to the rotating block 423. The driving assembly 52 drives the limiting block 51 to move so that the limiting block 51 limits the rotation of the rotating block 423 or the giving way opening 511 gives way to the rotating block 423. Only when there is a row of the automatic medicine dispensing parts 3 that need to dispense medicine, the driving assembly 52 will drive the limiting block 51 to move to make the giving way opening 511 give way to the rotating block 423, and then the user can drive the manual switch 42 to rotate.

[0049] The PLC is electrically connected to the driving component 52 to control the operation of the driving component 52 .

[0050] After all the medicines are put into the medicine bag, the label printer 6 prints the corresponding label, and the user can stick the label on the medicine bag.

[0051] The display element 7 can display the drug storage information and other contents, and can also be equipped with a scanning function.

[0052] The protective member 8 can shield the automatic medicine dispensing member 3, especially shield the medicine storage box 31. When the medicine storage box 31 needs to be replenished with medicine, it is opened, which makes the medicine dispensing device 100 with a buffer function more beautiful.

[0053] The control unit is used to control the operation of various components of the medicine dispensing device 100 with a buffering function.

[0057] S3: Activate the automatic medicine dispensing parts 3 corresponding to all medicines, and release the medicines of the corresponding quantity of the prescription into the corresponding buffer part 41; in step S3, when the automatic medicine dispensing part is dispensing medicines, the light-emitting unit emits green light and flashes.

[0058] S4: The detection part detects the medicines inside the cache; in step S4, the detection part detects whether the quantity of medicines is consistent with the prescription. If so, the light-emitting unit emits green light and is always on, and the driving component 52 drives the limit block 51 to move so that the yielding opening 511 of the limit block 51 yields to the rotating block 423, and then the label printer 6 prints out the medicine information of the medicine and enters step S5; if not, the light-emitting unit emits red light and flashes, prompting manual intervention.

[0059] S5: The user manually presses the manual switch 42 for multiple times until all the medicines are taken out; in step S5, the light-emitting unit corresponding to the buffer element 4 that has finished discharging medicine stops emitting light. After all the medicines are taken out, the medicine discharging completion button is manually clicked, and the driving component 52 drives the limit block 51 to move so that the limit block 51 limits the rotation of the rotating block 423.

[0060] S6: Complete medication collection.

[0061] The medicine dispensing device 100 with a cache function of the present invention is provided with a cache part 4 to accommodate medicines.
