[0027] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in the present invention, the following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a multi-entry medicine receiving mechanism 100 in one embodiment of the utility model is applied to medicine / vaccine storage equipment, etc., and includes a front panel 10 and a slide assembly 20. The front panel 10 is used to be installed at the front end of the medicine / vaccine storage equipment, and is provided with a plurality of medicine inlets 11, through which the medicine boxes enter the interior of the equipment. The slide assembly 20 is the same in number as the medicine inlets 11 and corresponds one to one, and is used to receive and temporarily store the medicine boxes put in through the medicine inlets 11. The slide assembly 20 is fixed to one side of the front panel 10. The slide assembly 20 includes a slide 21, a partition 22 and a flap structure. The slide 21 is tilted downward and to one side of its width direction at the same time. The partition 22 is fixed to the side of the slide 21 with a lower height to prevent the medicine boxes from sliding off the slide 21. The flap structure includes a baffle 23 pivotally connected to the rear end of the slide 21 to block and temporarily store the medicine boxes.

[0029] The multi-entry medicine receiving mechanism 100 in this embodiment is mainly used for classifying, temporarily storing and packaging the disassembled medicine boxes. After disassembling and mixing a variety of medicines, different types of medicine boxes are scanned and put into the medicine inlet 11. The medicine boxes are blocked by the baffle 23 and temporarily stored on the slide assembly 20. When the rear-end sorting mechanism moves to the corresponding slide assembly 20, the baffle 23 opens, and the medicine boxes are taken over by the sorting mechanism. The sorting mechanism transfers the medicine boxes to the storage or packaging mechanism corresponding to the same type of medicine according to the scanned code for the next step of operation.

[0030] Since the slide 21 is inclined downward and toward one side of its own width, the medicine box is supported on the slide 21 and the partition 22 on the lower side at the same time, and is blocked by the baffle 23, which has higher stability. Even if the medicine boxes put in are of different sizes, they can always fall into the rear-end sorting mechanism in the same posture and fall to the same position in the rear-end mechanism, which is more convenient for other operations at the rear end.

[0031] Preferably, the surface of the slide 21 has a plurality of second edges 211 protruding therefrom, which extend along the length direction of the slide 21. The cross-sectional shape of the second edge 211 is triangular. The medicine box is supported on the second edge 211, and the contact area is small, so the friction is low, so that the medicine box can slide down smoothly without sticking to the slide 21. Accordingly, grooves 212 are formed between adjacent second edges 211. Some drugs and most vaccines have requirements for storage temperature, so the temperature inside the device is relatively low. After the medicine box enters the device from the outside, the temperature drops and condensation water is generated. The groove 212 is used to discharge the condensation water to prevent the condensation water from affecting the movement of the medicine box.

[0032] Furthermore, the second edges 211 are evenly distributed on the surface of the slide 21 along the width direction of the slide 21 to average the contact position with the medicine box, thereby preventing the situation where the contact position is uneven and some positions are too close to each other, resulting in greater friction and causing the medicine box to stick to the surface of the slide 21.

[0033] In one embodiment, the flap structure further includes a motor 24 fixed to one side of the partition 22, which is connected to and drives the baffle 23 to rotate. The baffle 23 rotates between a vertical position and a position flush with the slide 21. The former position is used to block the medicine box. When the rear sorting mechanism moves to the end of the slide 21, the motor 24 drives the baffle 23 to rotate to a position flush with the slide 21. At this time, the medicine box loses the obstruction and falls into the sorting mechanism.

[0034] In one embodiment, partitions 22 are fixed on both sides of the width of the slide 21. Due to the inclination to one side in the width direction, if the partitions 22 on both sides are the same length, due to gravity, the medicine box may move in the direction of the lower partition 22 and shift when falling into the rear-end sorting mechanism. To avoid this situation, the length of the partition 22 on the lower side is greater than the length of the partition 22 on the other side, ensuring that the medicine box is always supported when falling into the rear-end sorting mechanism, so as to further ensure the posture of the medicine box when falling. At the same time, in order to ensure that the baffle 23 can correctly block the medicine box outlet formed by the baffle 22, a groove 231 is opened on the baffle 23, and its position corresponds to the position of the longer partition 22. When the baffle 23 rotates in a direction perpendicular to the slide 21, the longer partition 22 can pass through the groove 231.

[0035] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the longer partition 22 is configured so that when the baffle 23 is flush with the surface of the slide 21, its end extends to be flush with the end of the baffle 23 away from the slide 21 to ensure the posture of the medicine box when it falls into the rear-end sorting mechanism.

[0036] Preferably, a first ridge 221 is protruded from the surface of the longer partition 22, and the first ridge 221 extends along the length direction of the partition 22, and is used to reduce the friction force when the medicine box is translated along the partition 22, so as to prevent the medicine box from sticking to the longer partition 22. Similarly, the first ridge 221 is arranged in the same manner as the second ridge 211, that is, it is evenly distributed on the longer partition 22 along the width direction to even out the friction force received by the medicine box.

[0037] In one embodiment, a plurality of drug inlets 11 are arranged in an array on the front panel 10, for example Figure 2 and 3 The tic-tac-toe arrangement shown in the figure can improve the space utilization of the front panel 10, and the centralized arrangement is more convenient for staff to operate, so that the staff's operating area is concentrated in a smaller area, reducing staff consumption.

[0038] It is easy to imagine that the motor 32 is fixed on the partition 22 on the lower side and is located below the partition 22 on the higher side of the adjacent slide 21 to improve space utilization.

[0039] The sizes of medicine boxes vary. When a larger medicine box is put in, especially when the width of the medicine box is substantially the same as the width of the medicine inlet 11, the operator may need to put his hand into the medicine inlet 11. Figure 2 As shown, the medicine inlet 11 has a protruding area extending upward at the top thereof for the operator's fingers to enter, which makes it easier for the operator to operate without excessively expanding the area of ​​the medicine inlet 11.

[0040] In order to improve the ease of use, a detection mechanism can be set for the multi-entry medicine receiving mechanism 100 to detect whether the slideway assembly 20 is in a state to be administered and a state in which the medicine has been administered. In one embodiment, the detection mechanism includes a sensor (not shown) for detecting whether there is a medicine box on the slideway, and a prompting device (not shown) connected to the sensor and arranged on the front panel, and the prompting device can send different prompting information before and after the sensor detects the medicine box. For example, the sensor is a pressure sensor (or other sensors such as photoelectric sensors) fixed on the slideway 21, and the prompting device is an indicator light (or other prompting devices such as a buzzer) fixed on the front panel 10. When a medicine box is not placed on a certain slideway 21, the indicator light is green, prompting the staff to administer medicine to the slideway 21; when the medicine box is placed on the slideway 21, the indicator light turns red, prompting the staff that there is a medicine box temporarily stored on the slideway 21, and medicine can be administered to other medicine inlets 11. After the detection mechanism is set, the operator can perform blind operation according to the information of the prompting device without memorizing, which can improve accuracy and avoid repeated administration.

[0041] The equipment equipped with the multi-entry medicine receiving mechanism 100 eliminates the limitation that the same medicine receiving port can only receive a single type of medicine / vaccine at the same time, and the operator does not need to sort and can randomly feed different types of medicines. In addition, since multiple medicine feeding ports 11 are provided, the medicine boxes are continuously taken away by the sorting mechanism during the medicine feeding process, so that uninterrupted medicine feeding can be performed, thereby increasing the speed of medicine feeding.

[0042] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive from any point of view, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the present invention.
