[0065] The working principle of the Chinese medicine slice medicine bucket in this best embodiment is:
[0066] When in use, the main switch of the Chinese medicine slice hopper is turned on, and the electronic scale 3, microprocessor 5, display screen 4, and camera 7 are all in the on state. The electronic scale 3 monitors the weight of the Chinese medicine slices in the hopper and transmits the data to the microprocessor. The microprocessor 5 compares the received weight data with the preset weight data. If the received weight data is less than the preset weight data, the indicator light 6 is controlled to light up to remind the manager to replenish. When the weight of the Chinese medicine slice is greater than the preset weight data, the replenishment indicator light 6 is extinguished, and the received weight data is displayed on the display screen 4 at the same time. The camera 7 transmits the image data of the Chinese medicine slice taken to the microprocessor 5. The microprocessor 5 judges the volume of the Chinese medicine slice based on the length, width, and height of the image of the Chinese medicine slice through AI recognition and analysis. The microprocessor (5) comprehensively analyzes the inventory of the Chinese medicine slice based on the received weight data and volume data, and feeds back the inventory information (weight and volume) of the Chinese medicine slice to the display screen 4. The Chinese medicine slice is monitored and reminded through the dual data of weight and volume, thereby realizing the refined management of the Chinese medicine slice. The volume reminder can be set to 1 / 5 of the hopper volume or other appropriate data. The user can set it according to the actual situation so that when the weight and volume are both less than the preset value, the indicator light 6 will light up to remind
[0067] The microprocessor system of the utility model can generate a learning method for determining the volume data of various pieces of medicine by performing AI learning analysis on different pieces of medicine images, and provide data feedback on the situations when the pieces of medicine are full, sufficient, or insufficient in combination with weight data. When the stock of Chinese medicine pieces of medicine is lower than the preset medicine replenishment value (preset weight data and volume prompt), the medicine replenishment indicator light is controlled to light up, and when the weight of Chinese medicine pieces of medicine is greater than the medicine replenishment value, the medicine replenishment indicator light is extinguished; the stock of pieces of medicine can be judged from the two dimensions of weight and volume with the help of electronic video image AI learning technology, which can avoid the misjudgment of weight caused by the uneven distribution of pieces of medicine in the medicine bucket by a single device of an electronic scale; at the same time, it can avoid the problem that some areas in the video recognition are blocked by pieces of medicine, resulting in a larger calculated volume of pieces of medicine. When the stock of pieces of medicine in the medicine bucket changes, it can accurately judge and prompt the storage weight in time, and can predict the time when medicine replenishment is needed, formulate a medicine replenishment plan in advance, and avoid the situation where medicine replenishment is not timely and affects the normal dispensing of medicine. When the stock of pieces of medicine in the medicine bucket is lower than the lower limit and medicine replenishment is needed, the indicator light prompts in time to avoid the situation where medicine shortage is caused by missing medicine replenishment and affects the dispensing of medicine.
[0068] Although the implementation scheme of the utility model has been disclosed as above, it is not limited to the applications listed in the specification and implementation modes. It can be fully applied to various fields suitable for the utility model. For those familiar with the art, additional modifications can be easily implemented. Therefore, without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and the scope of equivalents, the utility model is not limited to the specific details and the illustrations shown and described herein.
