The box body 110 is provided with a first opening 111 and a second opening 112, wherein the first opening 111 is opened at the top of the box body 110. The second opening 112 is opened at the bottom of the side of the box body 110. The control module 160 is used to receive the timing information of the timing module, and send a drug delivery command to the drug delivery module at a set time. After receiving the drug delivery command, the drug delivery module delivers the drugs stored in the drug storage module out of the box body 110 for the drug recipient to use. The medicine storage module is arranged in the box body 110, and the medicine storage module includes a plurality of storage boxes 121 for storing medicines. When in use, the nursing staff first packs the medicines to be taken each time into each storage box 121, and then loads each storage box 121 into the box body 110 through the first opening 111 according to the order of medication. When in use, the medicine delivery module delivers the medicines at a set time according to the order of loading. The medicine delivery module is electrically connected to the control module 160 to receive the medicine delivery command sent by the control module 160, and the medicine delivery module abuts against the storage box 121 to push the storage box 121 out of the box body 110 from the second opening 112. The timing module is used to send a timing completion signal to the control module 160 at a fixed time. Specifically, when the nursing staff loads the storage box 121 containing the medicine into the box body 110 through the first opening 111 according to the order of taking, the taking time is set on the timing module. After the set time is reached, the timing module sends a timing completion signal to the control module 160. The control module 160 controls the action of the medicine delivery module according to the timing completion signal to push the corresponding storage box 121 containing the medicine out of the box body 110. The prompt module 140 is electrically connected to the control module 160. The prompt module 140 is used to issue an audible and visual prompt according to the medicine delivery command sent by the control module 160. The audible and visual prompt issued by the prompt module 140 is used to remind the medicine recipient to take the medicine on time to avoid forgetting to take it.

[0044] In addition, the drug timed dispensing and reminder device 100 also includes an identification module 150, which is electrically connected to the control module 160. The identification module 150 is used to verify whether the identity of the drug recipient is consistent with the identity pre-stored in the storage module. In this embodiment, the identification module 150 includes a QR code scanning unit, which is used to scan the QR code carried by the drug recipient to verify the identity of the drug recipient. In actual use, a QR code recording the identity information of the drug recipient is printed on the bracelet of the drug recipient. When the drug is collected on time, the QR code scanning unit scans the QR code on the bracelet of the drug recipient to confirm the identity of the drug recipient, and then sends the identity comparison information to the control module 160. After confirming the identity comparison information, the control module 160 controls the drug delivery module to send the drug in the corresponding storage box 121.

[0045] In other embodiments, the identification module 150 includes a first near field communication (NFC) unit, which is used to communicate with a second NFC unit worn by the drug recipient to verify the identity of the drug recipient. The second NFC unit is embedded in the bracelet worn by the drug recipient, and the first NFC unit and the second NFC unit touch each other to complete the identity recognition.

[0046] In another embodiment, the identification module 150 may also use a fingerprint recognition unit or an iris recognition unit to realize the identity recognition of the drug recipient to avoid taking the wrong drug. By entering the iris information of the drug recipient in advance, the identity recognition is completed by scanning the iris of the drug recipient through the iris recognition unit when picking up the drug.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, the drug storage module includes a guide frame 136. Specifically, the guide frame 136 is formed by four guide plates, the middle area of ​​the four guide plates is used to load the storage box 121, the first opening 111 is connected to the top opening of the guide frame 136, and the second opening 112 is connected to the bottom opening of the guide frame 136. The guide frame 136 is arranged inside the box body 110 along the vertical direction, and the storage box 121 is loaded into the guide frame 136 along the vertical direction through the first opening 111. When the storage box 121 is pushed out, the drug delivery push rod 132 pushes the storage box 121 out of the box body 110 through the second opening 112.

[0048] As shown in the figure, the medicine delivery module includes a motor 131, a medicine delivery push rod 132 and a medicine box guide rail 133. The medicine box guide rail 133 is fixedly mounted on the box body 110, and the medicine box guide rail 133 is used to limit the moving direction of the storage box 121. Two parallel medicine box guide rails 133 are provided at the bottom of the box body 110, and the spacing between the two medicine box guide rails 133 is slightly larger than the width of the storage box 121. The storage box 121 is arranged between the two medicine box guide rails 133. When the medicine delivery push rod 132 pushes the storage box 121, the parallel medicine box guide rails 133 can limit the moving direction of the storage box 121, ensuring that the medicine delivery push rod 132 can push the storage box 121 out of the box body 110 when pushing the storage box 121. The motor 131 is connected to the medicine delivery push rod 132, and the medicine delivery push rod 132 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 131. The motor 131 drives the medicine delivery push rod 132 to rotate according to the medicine dispensing command. The medicine delivery push rod 132 rotates under the drive of the motor 131 to push the storage box 121 out of the box body 110 from the second opening 112.

[0049] The medicine delivery push rod 132 of the medicine delivery module abuts against the storage box 121 at the bottom. When the medicine delivery push rod 132 is driven by the motor 131, it pushes out the storage box 121 at the bottom each time. Therefore, when the storage boxes 121 are loaded into the box body 110, the storage boxes 121 need to be loaded in the order of taking. After the medicine delivery push rod 132 pushes out the storage box 121 at the bottom, the medicine delivery push rod 132 returns to its original position, and the storage box 121 originally located above the storage box 121 at the bottom falls down, waiting for the medicine delivery push rod 132 to push out after the set time.

[0050] like Figure 4 As shown, the medicine delivery module also includes a micro switch 134. The micro switch 134 is arranged on the medicine box guide rail 133. When the medicine delivery push rod 132 pushes the storage box 121 and the storage box 121 moves along the medicine box guide rail 133, the side wall of the storage box 121 will press the switch of the micro switch 134. When the storage box 121 completely moves past the micro switch 134, the switch of the micro switch 134 will pop out, so that the micro switch 134 sends a medicine delivery command to the feedback module. The medicine timing delivery and reminder device 100 also includes a feedback module, which is electrically connected to the micro switch 134. The feedback module is used to receive the medicine delivery command and feedback it to the nursing staff terminal.

[0051] The prompt module 140 includes a light emitting unit and a sounding unit, which are electrically connected to the control module 160 to emit light and sound a prompt according to the medicine dispensing command of the control module 160. In this embodiment, the light emitting unit includes an LED, etc., and the sounding unit includes a buzzer, etc.

[0052] The terminal interface of the nursing staff is as follows Figure 5As shown, the nursing staff sets the medication plan through the interface of the WeChat applet or mobile phone application, and the medication plan includes the medication time and reminder method, etc. Then, according to the medication plan, the medicine is placed in the corresponding storage box 121 after double checking, and then the storage box 121 is placed in the box body 110 of the medication timing dispensing and reminder device 100 through the first opening 111 in sequence. After the identity of the medication recipient is verified, the timing reminder function of the medication timing dispensing and reminder device 100 is turned on. When the set plan reaches the medication time, the light-emitting unit of the reminder module 140 flashes, and the buzzer of the pronunciation unit emits a gentle reminder sound. After the identification module 150 scans the QR code label on the wrist of the medicine recipient and completes the identity verification, the control module 160 controls the motor 131 to drive the medicine delivery push rod 132 to rotate and push out the storage box 121. The storage box 121 hits the micro switch 134 during the movement. The micro switch 134 sends a medicine delivery command to the feedback module. The feedback module sends the medicine delivery information to the nursing staff terminal. The medicine delivery push rod 132 pushes out the storage box 121 and resets to the initial position. The medicine recipient takes the medicine in the storage box 121. At the same time, the light-emitting unit and the sound unit stop emitting light and stop buzzing, completing a medicine delivery process. If it is not the time for medicine delivery, the medicine box cannot be opened if the corresponding medicine recipient does not scan the QR code. At this time, the light-emitting unit flashes and the sound unit emits an alarm sound.
