Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medicine taking, and more specifically to an automatic medicine box sorting device. Background Art
[0002] The main way to sort medicines in hospital pharmacies and medical stores is to sort them in pieces. The domestic technical means in this field are relatively backward, and the relevant technologies are not smart and reliable enough. They are mainly based on manual selection. Manual electronic barcode scanners are used to scan and record the chaotic medicine boxes for sorting. This selection method is not only inefficient, labor-intensive, and prone to errors. However, with the improvement of my country's comprehensive national strength and the development of medical, health and social security undertakings, the pace of informatization construction in medical institutions is accelerating, and automatic medicine sorting machines have also appeared. This device can realize automatic arrangement of medicine boxes and further realize automatic scanning and automatic vending. Compared with traditional manual operations, it has high production efficiency, good results and low production costs. It can be widely used in the field of automatic medicine vending. However, the device sorts the medicine boxes by scanning the electronic codes on them, but the medicine boxes are messy when they are delivered, resulting in the electronic codes of the medicine boxes appearing on any side of the six sides of the medicine boxes, which is not convenient for the sorting machine to scan and sort them, reducing the sorting efficiency of medicines. Utility Model Content

[0019] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: the staff feeds the medicines to be sorted into the feed pipe 9 through the feeding device. At this time, the medicines automatically slide onto the conveyor belt 6 along the inclined plate 10 at the bottom inner side of the feed pipe 9. At this time, the conveyor belt 6 will start to rotate and automatically move the medicines dropped on it. Then, the side detection head 14 and the side detection component 15 in the sorting device 1 will first scan and detect the electronic code on the outside of the medicine to determine which kind of medicine it is. The detection information is sent to the sorting robot 11, and the sorting robot 11 controls the gripper 13 to grab the medicine. At the same time, when the gripper 13 grabs the medicine, the top detection head 12 will scan and detect the medicine with the electronic code on the top surface, and then send the information to the sorting robot 11 to control the gripper 13 to grab the medicine. Similarly, the inner detection head 16 will scan and detect the electronic code on the electronic code on the top surface. The medicines with electronic codes on the inside are scanned and detected, so that the gripper 13 grabs them, thereby sorting the medicines with electronic codes on the top surface and the surrounding areas, and putting the sorted medicines into the corresponding medicine storage box 4 according to the electronic code information, so that it is convenient for medical staff to organize and store them, which increases the comfort of use for medical staff; and the electronic codes of some medicines are located on the ground. When the medicines are transported to the glass detection plate 7, since the glass detection plate 7 is inclined, the medicines will automatically slide along the inclined surface of the glass detection plate 7 to the other end of the conveyor belt 6. During the sliding process of the medicines, multiple groups of bottom surface detection heads 8 parallel to the glass detection plate 7 will scan and detect the medicines, so as to determine which kind of medicine it is, and then it is convenient for the sorting robot 11 to control the gripper 13 to grab and sort it, thereby increasing the sorting accuracy of the gripper 13.
