[0033] See also Figures 1 to 6 The embodiment of the utility model provides a new type of dispensing mechanism for dispensing medicine in small quantities, which is installed above the medicine dispensing conveyor belt of a medicine dispensing machine. The new type of dispensing mechanism for dispensing medicine in small quantities includes a shell 1 and a plurality of medicine storage and dispensing mechanisms 2 arranged side by side in the shell 1. Each medicine storage and dispensing mechanism 2 generally only stores and distributes the same type of dispensing medicine in small quantities to avoid dispensing the wrong medicine. Among them, the medicine storage and dispensing mechanism 2 includes a medicine storage rack 21, and the medicine storage rack 21 is formed with a plurality of medicine storage slots 211 arranged side by side in front and back for storing dispensing medicine in small quantities. The bottom of each medicine storage slot 211 is provided with a medicine drop opening 212, and each medicine drop opening 212 is provided with a medicine drop movable flap 22. A flap rotation driving mechanism 23 is provided on one side of the medicine storage rack 21, and the flap rotation driving mechanism 23 drives the medicine drop movable flap 22 to flip up and down to block / open the corresponding medicine drop opening 212. When storing medicine, the flap rotation driving mechanism 23 drives the medicine drop movable flap 22 to flip upwards, blocking the corresponding medicine drop opening 212, and then the pharmacist stores the unpacked medicine in the medicine storage slot 211 of each medicine storage and dispensing mechanism 2. When dispensing medicine, the flap rotation driving mechanism 23 drives the medicine drop movable flap 22 to flip downwards, opening the corresponding medicine drop opening 212, and the unpacked medicine falls onto the medicine dispensing conveyor belt of the medicine dispensing machine under the action of gravity, and is then conveyed to the medicine dispensing opening through the medicine dispensing conveyor belt.

[0034] The utility model solves the shortcomings of the existing automatic medicine dispensing machine in dispensing medicines in small quantities by setting up a plurality of medicine storage and distribution mechanisms 2 to store and distribute medicines in small quantities, expands the application scope of the automatic medicine dispensing machine, and enables it to more comprehensively meet the needs of hospital pharmacies. Each medicine storage and distribution mechanism 2 can adjust the number and type of medicines in small quantities according to the actual needs of the pharmacy to meet the distribution needs of different medicines. In addition, the number of medicine storage and distribution mechanisms 2 can be flexibly configured according to the actual needs of the hospital pharmacy. If the demand is large, several medicine storage and distribution mechanisms 2 can be added. Multiple medicine storage and distribution mechanisms 2 work at the same time, and can handle the distribution tasks of multiple medicines in small quantities in parallel, which can not only reduce the waiting time of patients, but also improve the overall work efficiency of the pharmacy. Especially during peak hours, this design can ensure the rapid and accurate distribution of medicines and reduce the situation of patients waiting in line; conversely, if the demand decreases, the number of medicine storage and distribution mechanisms 2 can also be reduced.

[0035] See also Figures 3 to 5In one embodiment, a plurality of partitions 213 arranged in parallel are provided in the medicine storage rack 21, and two adjacent partitions 213 and the medicine storage rack 21 form a medicine storage slot 211. The provision of the partitions 213 makes full use of the space inside the medicine storage rack 21, and more medicines can be stored. At the same time, the size of each medicine storage slot 211 can be adjusted as needed to accommodate medicines of different types and specifications, thereby improving the flexibility of the storage space.

[0036] See also Figure 5 , Figure 6 In one embodiment, a first rotating protrusion 221 is provided at the rear end of one side of the medicine dropping movable flap 22, and a second rotating protrusion 222 is provided at the rear end of the other side of the medicine dropping movable flap 22. A first rotating hole 214 is provided on one side of the medicine storage rack 21 corresponding to the position of each medicine dropping opening 212, and one side of the medicine dropping movable flap 22 is rotatably set on a corresponding first rotating hole 214 through the first rotating protrusion 221; a second rotating hole 215 is provided on the other side of the medicine storage rack 21 corresponding to the position of each medicine dropping opening 212, and the other side of the medicine dropping movable flap 22 is rotatably set on a corresponding second rotating hole 215 through the second rotating protrusion 222, and the second rotating protrusion 222 passes through the second rotating hole 215 and is connected to the flap rotation driving mechanism 23, and the flap rotation driving mechanism 23 drives the medicine dropping movable flap 22 to flip up and down through the second rotating protrusion 222. The first rotating protrusion 221 and the second rotating protrusion 222 are respectively arranged at the rear ends of both sides of the active flap 22 for dropping medicine, and cooperate with the first rotating hole 214 and the second rotating hole 215 on the medicine storage rack 21 to ensure that the active flap 22 for dropping medicine can be turned up and down steadily and smoothly. This design not only improves the stability of the mechanism and ensures the accuracy of the flipping action, but also enables the active flap 22 for dropping medicine to automatically turn down without the action of external force to open the corresponding medicine drop opening 212; it will only turn up and block the corresponding medicine drop opening 212 when driven by the flap rotation driving mechanism 23.

[0037] See also Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6In one embodiment, the portion of the second rotating protrusion 222 that passes through the second rotating hole 215 is provided with an abutment block 223; the flap rotation driving mechanism 23 includes a driving motor 231, a driving wheel 232, a driven wheel 233 and a flap support transmission belt 234 horizontally arranged along the front and rear directions, the driving shaft of the driving motor 231 is connected to the driving wheel 232, the flap support transmission belt 234 is sleeved on the driving wheel 232 and the driven wheel 233, and the first flip avoidance opening 2341 for the abutment block 223 to flip downward is opened on opposite sides of the flap support transmission belt 234. When the abutment block 223 abuts against the flap support conveyor belt 234, the medicine dropping movable flap 22 corresponding to the abutment block 223 blocks the corresponding medicine dropping opening 212; when the first flip avoidance opening 2341 moves to below the abutment block 223, the abutment block 223 and its corresponding medicine dropping movable flap 22 flip downward under the action of gravity to open the corresponding medicine dropping opening 212; as the flap support conveyor belt 234 moves, the first flip avoidance opening 2341 will pass through all the abutment blocks 223 in sequence along the rotation direction of the flap support conveyor belt 234, thereby opening all the medicine dropping openings 212 in sequence along the rotation of the flap support conveyor belt 234, thereby realizing the one-by-one distribution of the split medicines, and only one medicine dropping opening 212 is in an open state at a time.

[0038] Through the cooperation of the abutment block 223 and the flap support conveyor belt 234, the flipping action of each medicine dropping movable flap 22 can be accurately controlled, so as to realize the one-by-one distribution of the medicines, ensure that only one medicine dropping opening 212 is in an open state at a time, avoid the confusion and mis-dispensing of medicines, and improve the accuracy and reliability of distribution. The continuous movement of the flap support conveyor belt 234 enables the first flip avoidance opening 2341 to pass through all the abutment blocks 223 in sequence, so as to open all the medicine dropping openings 212 in sequence. This automated distribution process greatly improves the distribution efficiency of medicines and reduces the time and error rate of manual operation. The flap rotation drive mechanism 23 adopts a driving motor 231, a driving wheel 232, a driven wheel 233 and a flap support conveyor belt 234, and has a relatively simple structure and is easy to operate and maintain. In addition, the contact area between the abutment block 223 and the flap support conveyor belt 234 is moderate, and the contact force is evenly distributed, which helps to reduce friction and wear and improve the stability and durability of the equipment.

[0039] See also Figure 3 , Figure 4In one embodiment, a belt bracket 235 is provided inside the flap support conveyor belt 234, and the belt bracket 235 is fixed to the medicine storage rack 21. A plurality of second flip avoidance openings 2351 corresponding to the positions of the abutment blocks 223 are provided on the top of the belt bracket 235. The belt bracket 235 provided above can support the upper side of the flap support conveyor belt 234, ensure that the flap support conveyor belt 234 remains stable during operation and is not easy to sag, so that it can stably abut against the abutment blocks 223, thereby effectively pushing the abutment blocks 223 and the corresponding medicine drop movable flap 22 to perform a flipping action; because the second flip avoidance openings 2351 on the belt bracket 235 correspond to the positions of the abutment blocks 223, when the abutment blocks 223 need to flip downward, the belt bracket 235 will not become an obstacle. In this way, the abutment blocks 223 and the corresponding medicine drop movable flaps 22 can flip downward smoothly under the action of gravity without being interfered by the belt bracket 235.

[0040] In one embodiment, the abutment block 223 is tilted downward and forward, and the driving motor 231 drives the flap support conveyor belt 234 to rotate forward through the driving wheel 232 and the driven wheel 233. Since the abutment block 223 is tilted downward and forward, as the flap support conveyor belt 234 rotates forward, when the abutment block 223 passes through the first flip avoidance opening 2341, this tilted setting can guide the abutment block 223 and the corresponding medicine drop movable flap 22 to flip up / down more smoothly, making the flipping action smoother. Since the flipping action is smoother and the control is more precise, the entire distribution process can be carried out more efficiently. The medicine can fall through the opened medicine drop opening 212 more quickly, reducing waiting time and unnecessary delays.

[0041] See also Figure 3 In one embodiment, a flap mounting hole 216 is provided above each second rotating hole 215 for the medicine dropping movable flap 22 to pass through, and the flap mounting hole 216 is connected to the flap mounting hole 216. The provision of the flap mounting hole 216 makes the installation and removal of the medicine dropping movable flap 22 easier. The pharmacist or maintenance personnel can easily insert the medicine dropping movable flap 22 into the medicine storage rack 21 through the flap mounting hole 216, and rotatably set its first rotating protrusion 221 on the corresponding first rotating hole 214, and rotatably set its second rotating protrusion 222 on the corresponding second rotating hole 215. This design not only improves the installation efficiency, but also reduces the difficulty of operation, making the maintenance and replacement of the equipment more convenient.

[0042] See also Figure 3 , Figure 4In one embodiment, a driving mechanism mounting frame 217 is provided at the bottom of one side of the medicine storage rack 21, and the flap rotation driving mechanism 23 is mounted on the driving mechanism mounting frame 217. Through the driving mechanism mounting frame 217, the flap rotation driving mechanism 23 can be installed and disassembled as an independent module. This not only simplifies the assembly process of the equipment, but also makes subsequent maintenance and replacement work more convenient. Pharmacists or maintenance personnel can easily disassemble and replace the flap rotation driving mechanism 23 without large-scale disassembly of the entire medicine storage rack 21.

[0043] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 In one embodiment, a top cover 3 is provided at the top of the housing 1 corresponding to the position of each medicine storage and dispensing mechanism 2, the rear end of each top cover 3 is hinged to the housing 1, and the front end of each medicine storage and dispensing mechanism 2 is provided with an electromagnetic lock 24 for locking the corresponding top cover 3. The setting of the top cover 3 can effectively prevent dust, debris or other pollutants from entering the medicine storage and dispensing mechanism 2, thereby ensuring the cleanliness and safety of the medicine. Each top cover 3 is hinged to the housing 1, so that the top cover 3 can be easily opened and closed. When it is necessary to distribute medicines or perform maintenance, the pharmacist can conveniently open the top cover 3 for operation. At the same time, the top cover 3 cooperates with the electromagnetic lock 24 to prevent unauthorized personnel from contacting the medicines at will. Only when the authorized personnel pass the specific operation or verification, the electromagnetic lock 24 will be unlocked, allowing the top cover 3 to be opened, which greatly reduces the risk of theft or misuse of the medicines and further enhances the safety of the medicines.

[0044] See also Figure 3 , Figure 4 In one embodiment, a medicine drop sensor 25 is provided at the bottom of the medicine storage rack 21, and the medicine drop sensor 25 can monitor the situation of the medicine falling from the medicine storage rack 21 in real time. Whenever the medicine falls through the opened medicine drop port 212, the medicine drop sensor 25 will trigger a signal to record the distribution event of the medicine. This real-time monitoring ensures the accurate tracking of the medicine distribution process, which helps pharmacists or managers to understand the distribution of medicines in a timely manner. In addition, through the monitoring of the medicine drop sensor 25, it can be verified whether each distribution operation is successful. If the medicine drop sensor 25 detects that the medicine falls, it means that the distribution is successful; if the medicine does not fall, it may indicate that the distribution fails or there are other problems. This verification mechanism helps to improve the accuracy of medicine distribution and reduce distribution errors caused by misoperation or equipment failure. In addition, the data of the medicine drop sensor 25 can be used for inventory management and drug replenishment decisions. By analyzing the distribution data recorded by the medicine drop sensor 25, the consumption of each medicine can be accurately understood.

[0045] See also Figure 1In one embodiment, a dosing indicator light 4 is provided at the front end of the shell 1 at the position corresponding to each drug storage and distribution mechanism 2. The dosing indicator light 4 can display the drug inventory of each drug storage and distribution mechanism 2 in real time. When the amount of drugs in a drug storage and distribution mechanism 2 is lower than a preset threshold, the corresponding dosing indicator light 4 will light up to remind the pharmacist or manager to replenish the drugs in time, which helps to avoid drug shortages and ensure that the pharmacy can provide drug services continuously and stably. In addition, with the guidance of the dosing indicator light 4, the pharmacist can quickly locate the drug storage and distribution mechanism 2 that needs to be dosing, without having to check the drug inventory of each drug storage and distribution mechanism 2 one by one, which greatly saves the pharmacist's time and energy, improves the efficiency of dosing, ensures accurate replenishment of drugs, and reduces the risk of errors caused by improper operation.

[0046] It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make improvements or changes based on the above description, and all these improvements and changes should fall within the scope of protection of the claims attached to the utility model.

[0047] The above is an exemplary description of the utility model patent in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is obvious that the implementation of the utility model patent is not limited to the above-mentioned method. As long as various improvements are made by adopting the method concept and technical solution of the utility model patent, or the concept and technical solution of the utility model patent are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, they are all within the protection scope of the utility model.
