Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of medicine dispensing machines, in particular to a self-service medicine dispensing machine. Background Art

[0002] The existing self-service medicine machines on the market often only have the function of printing medical instructions, that is, printing a unified medical instruction for the patient after dispensing the medicine. When doctors prescribe medicine to patients, in order to prevent patients from losing the unified medical instructions, they often write the usage and dosage of the corresponding medicine on the label paper on each medicine box to prevent patients from taking the wrong medicine. Why don't the existing self-service medicine machines on the market label the medicine boxes? The reason is that due to the different sizes of medicine boxes, it is difficult to achieve labeling in a unified position, that is, the existing medicine machines are difficult to adapt to medicine boxes of multiple specifications.

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, Chinese patent document CN219958307U discloses a ramp aisle medicine vending machine and system with a review and labeling function, wherein the ramp aisle medicine vending machine includes a cabinet, the cabinet includes a medicine storage unit and an electrical control unit, and the medicines in the ramp cargo tray enter the medicine transmission device after being shipped from the cargo tray, and are transmitted to the electrical control unit through the medicine transmission device; a medicine review device is provided in the medicine transmission device and / or the electrical control unit to review the shipment of the medicine; a mechanical arm and a label printer are provided in the electrical control unit, and the mechanical arm is used to obtain the medicine label and paste it to the medicine, or the mechanical arm is used to obtain the medicine and move the medicine to the medicine label for labeling, and the labeled medicine can be moved to the medicine taking port for the user to take the medicine. The above patent uses a mechanical arm to implement the labeling of medicine labels. In actual testing, if the mechanical arm is to adapt to the disordered multi-specification medicine boxes, a large number of sensors are required, which only have relatively complex degrees of freedom. Not only is the accuracy low, but the cost is also very high, and it is difficult to commercialize at this stage. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The technical solution of the utility model is further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the self-service medicine machine provided in this embodiment includes a box-taking platform 1 and a labeling bin 30, wherein the labeling bin 30 is located on one side of the box-taking platform 1, wherein a posture adjustment mechanism and a labeling machine 32 are arranged in the labeling bin 30, the box-taking platform 1 is used to take away the box body pushed out from the storage aisle 4, and the posture adjustment mechanism is used to adjust the posture of at least one specification of the box body, and the purpose of the posture adjustment is to make the box body lie flat and straighten, the traditional self-service medicine machine can often only adapt to one specification of medicine box for labeling, and cannot adapt to a variety of different specifications of medicine boxes, however, the medicines prescribed by doctors to patients often involve a variety of specifications The medicine box needs to be labeled with medical instructions containing "usage and dosage" information. The posture adjustment mechanism includes a lying active channel 21 and an opposite side active channel 22. The lying active channel 21 is used to make the box body lie flat and drive the box body to move. The opposite side active channel 22 is used to align at least one corner of the box body with the labeling area 31 and drive the box body to move. The lying active channel 21 and the opposite side active channel 22 are both composed of a conveying device. The conveying device can be a conveyor belt or a conveyor roller or a push plate or other conveying mechanism. The conveying mechanism is usually horizontal and can also be appropriately tilted. The box entry end of the lying active channel 21 is close to the box taking platform 1. The box taking platform 1 will move to the box unloading position after taking the box from the storage channel 4, that is, the upper side of the lying active channel 21, and put the box body into the lying active channel 21, which is usually a medicine box, but it is also suitable for boxes of other similar shapes or other application fields. The box body passing through the lying active channel 21 is in a lying state, and the box exit end of the lying active channel 21 is located on the side of the box entry end of the opposite active channel 22. The box body in the lying state enters the opposite active channel 22 for side alignment after being sorted by the lying active channel 21. Under the action of the opposite active channel 22, at least one corner of the box body is aligned with the labeling area 31 at the same angle. The box body is usually a rectangular body. When the labeling area 31 is aligned with a certain angle at the same angle, it will also be aligned with the two right-angled sides of this angle. Thereby, the distance between the label and the two sides of the angle is consistent or nearly consistent. The labeling area 31 is located at the box outlet end of the opposite side active channel 22. After the opposite side active channel 22 completes the side alignment, it moves to the labeling area 31 for labeling. The labeling machine 32 is used to label the box body. The labeling machine 32 is located at the bottom of the labeling area 31. The labeling machine 32 will print different medication labels according to the doctor's order. After the box taking platform 1 takes out a box body from the storage aisle 4, the box body first passes through the lying active channel 21, and is arranged in the lying active channel 21 to be in a lying state. After passing through the opposite side active channel 22, at least a pair of mutually perpendicular side edges are aligned with the labeling area 31. Under the conveying action of the opposite side active channel 22, the box body is conveyed to the labeling area 31 and labeled by the labeling machine 32, that is, a medication label is affixed.Since most of the boxes are rectangular, usually only the narrow walls around them are difficult to label, so the box needs to be laid flat first. For boxes with thick narrow walls, labeling can be done even if they are not laid flat. Therefore, in actual use, it is not necessary for all boxes to be laid flat. It is only required that most of the boxes with narrow walls be laid flat. However, boxes with narrow walls are easier to lay flat. Since the above-mentioned self-service medicine machine can achieve the flat laying and opposite sides of most of the boxes with narrow walls, the labeling position each time is basically at a corner of the box, and the two sides of the corner can be regarded as a fixed preset distance, which avoids the labeling machine sticking the label paper to the narrow edge of the box or not sticking it to the box, thereby solving the problem that the existing labeling medicine machines are difficult to adapt to boxes of different specifications.

[0029] A platform conveyor belt 11 and a box receiving roller 12 are provided on the box taking platform 1. The box receiving roller 12 is located on one side of the platform conveyor belt 11, usually between the storage aisle 4 and the platform conveyor belt 11. The box body sliding down from the storage aisle 4 is brought into the platform conveyor belt 11 under the rotation of the box receiving roller 12. The conveying direction of the box receiving roller 12 is just perpendicular to the conveying direction of the platform conveyor belt 11. In addition, the box taking platform 1 also has a horizontal driving mechanism and a vertical driving mechanism. The horizontal driving mechanism drives the box taking platform 1 to move horizontally, and the vertical driving mechanism drives the box taking platform 1 to move vertically. Under the driving action of the horizontal driving mechanism and the vertical driving mechanism, the corresponding box body, that is, the medicine can be taken from different storage aisles 4 of the multi-layer storage grid of the self-service medicine machine. The box, the flat active channel 21 includes a flat conveyor belt 211, which is usually horizontal or inclined at a small angle. The flat conveyor belt 211 can drive the box body to move horizontally. The flat conveyor belt 211 can be composed of two rollers and a conveyor belt sleeved on the two rollers, and can be driven by a motor. The medicine boxes on the box-taking platform 1 are not all in a standing state. Usually, the four side walls of the rectangular body are in a standing state when in contact with the platform conveyor belt 11, and the two large square faces of the rectangular body are in a lying state when in contact with the platform conveyor belt 11. Therefore, most of the boxes sliding down the storage aisle 4 are usually in a lying state, and a small part is in a standing state. However, as long as there is a standing state, it is difficult to implement the labeling operation. When the box-taking platform 1 moves to the box unloading position, the platform conveyor belt 11 The box outlet end is located on one side of the box inlet end of the flat conveyor belt 211, and the platform conveyor belt 11 is higher than the flat conveyor belt 211. The reason why the platform conveyor belt 11 needs to be higher than the flat conveyor belt 211 is to make the box body fall. During the falling process, since most of the box bodies are rectangular rectangular bodies, the boxes in a standing state will fall into the flat conveyor belt 211 under the action of gravity. Since the flat conveyor belt 211 is in continuous horizontal motion, when the box body falls into the flat conveyor belt 211, only a part of it is often in contact with the flat conveyor belt 211. In this way, under the pull of the flat conveyor belt 211, the box body in a standing state cannot stand up and falls down, thus being in a flat state. In actual use, usually only the narrow walls around are difficult to label, so The box body needs to be laid flat first. For a box body with thick narrow walls, the label can be applied even if it is not laid flat. Therefore, in actual use, not all boxes must be laid flat. Only the vast majority of boxes with narrow narrow walls need to be laid flat. In addition, the medicine boxes that are already in a flat state will find it difficult or almost impossible to stand up. Also due to gravity, unless the distance between the pan-tilt conveyor belt 11 and the flat conveyor belt 211 is much greater than the height of boxes of different specifications, a part of the boxes will fall into the flat conveyor belt 211 in a vertical or almost vertical state and stand during the falling process. Therefore, the distance between the pan-tilt conveyor belt 11 and the flat conveyor belt 211 will not usually be greater than the height of the box body or greater than the height of most of the box bodies.Thereby ensuring that almost all the boxes will be labeled after lying flat. In order to prevent the box from detaching from the lying conveyor belt 211 and moving in a predetermined direction, the lying active channel 21 also includes at least two first limit plates 213. The at least two first limit plates 213 are respectively arranged on both sides of the lying conveyor belt 211. The first limit plates 213 prevent the box from detaching from the lying conveyor belt 211. The first limit plates 213 are usually two and are respectively located on both sides of the lying conveyor belt 211 to achieve the limiting effect. In addition, the speed of the lying conveyor belt 211 is preferably greater than the speed of the pan-tilt conveyor belt 11. Based on the principle of relative motion and the speed difference between the lying conveyor belt 211 and the pan-tilt conveyor belt 11, after the box falls into the lying conveyor belt 211, the box is better pulled by the lying conveyor belt 211 and tipped over.

[0030] The box-taking pan-tilt platform 1 also includes a moving vehicle 13 and a bracket 16. The moving vehicle 13 is located on the bracket 16. The bracket 16 can move in the vertical direction of the multi-layer storage cargo channel 4. The moving vehicle 13 is equivalent to the horizontal driving mechanism mentioned above. The pan-tilt platform conveyor belt 11 and the box receiving roller 12 are both located on the moving vehicle 13. At least one moving slide rail 14 is provided at the bottom of the moving vehicle 13. At least one moving slide rail 14 is installed on the bracket 16. The pan-tilt platform conveyor belt 11 and the box receiving roller 12 can slide back and forth along the two moving slide rails 14 following the moving vehicle 13. A driving motor is provided at the bottom of the moving vehicle 13. The driving gear rack mechanism 15 connected to the driving motor drives the moving vehicle 13 to move. The moving vehicle 13 performs a reciprocating motion. The reason why the moving vehicle 13 is needed in the present embodiment is that, firstly, the moving speed of the moving vehicle 13 can be set to be faster than the conveying speed of the pan-tilt conveyor belt 11, thereby improving the working efficiency of the box transfer; secondly, it is to facilitate the box to fall into the flat active channel 21 after falling from the pan-tilt conveyor belt 11, that is, the pan-tilt conveyor belt 11 needs to be extended to the top of the box entry end of the flat active channel 21, thereby ensuring that the box falling from the pan-tilt conveyor belt 11 will definitely fall into the flat active channel 21, thereby improving the stability of the box during the transfer process, and avoiding the gap between the pan-tilt conveyor belt 11 and the flat active channel 21 to cause the box to fall.

[0031] In order to make at least one corner of the box body align with the labeling area 31 at the same angle and drive the box body to move, further, the opposite side active channel 22 includes an opposite side baffle plate 221 and a box push plate 222. The opposite side baffle plate 221 is located at the end of the lying active channel 21, and the box push plate 222 is located on one side of the lying active channel 21 and close to the opposite side baffle plate 221. One function of the box push plate 222 is to push the box body out of the lying active channel 21, and the other function is to cooperate with the lying active channel 21 to regularize the angle of the box body so that one side wall of the box body is close to the opposite side baffle plate 221. Therefore, the pushing direction of the box push plate 222 is usually perpendicular to the conveying direction of the lying active channel 21. The same angle of the regularized box body is usually that each side is either perpendicular to the opposite side baffle plate 221 or parallel to the opposite side baffle plate 221, that is, the above-mentioned "same angle" is also a right angle, so that at least one corner of the box body is aligned with the labeling area 31 at the same right angle to ensure accurate labeling. In order to ensure that at least one corner of each box body is aligned with the labeling area 31 at the same right angle, when the box push plate 222 moves back and forth or before the box push plate 222 moves back and forth, the flat conveyor belt 211 remains in a moving state, and the box body is continuously attached to the opposite side baffle plate 221 under the drive of the flat conveyor belt 211. When the box push plate 222 pushes the box body to slide out horizontally from the flat active channel 21, the box body is pulled against the opposite side baffle plate 221 under the combined action of the thrust of the box push plate 222 and the friction of the flat conveyor belt 211, thereby ensuring that the box body can only be driven to be straightened first, and then one side wall of the box body is attached to the opposite side baffle plate 221 and moves along the surface of the opposite side baffle plate 221, further ensuring that the box body is aligned at the same right angle, and a second limit plate 70 is set opposite the opposite side baffle plate 221. The second limit plate 70 is used to prevent the box body from detaching and to install the second infrared sensor 7 and other structures.

[0032] The active channel 22 for opposite edges also includes a labeling channel 223, and the labeling area 31 is arranged in the labeling channel 223. A part of the opposite edge baffle 221 is located on the outside of the labeling channel 223, and the other part is located on one side of the end of the flat conveyor belt 211. A slide groove 226 distributed along the length direction of the opposite edge baffle 221 is arranged on or on one side of the opposite edge baffle 221. The box push plate 222 can slide along the slide groove 226, and the upper and lower end surfaces of the box push plate 222 can contact the slide groove 226. At this time, the slide groove 226 plays a limiting role, thereby ensuring the stability of the box push plate 222 during translation. The labeling area 31 is located in the labeling channel 223, and a part of the box push plate 222 passes through the slide groove 226 and is connected to the translation driver 224. The translation driver 224 includes two driving wheels 241 and a synchronous belt 242 mounted on the two driving wheels 241, wherein one driving wheel 241 rotates under the drive of the motor. The synchronous belt 242 is thereby driven to rotate, and the box push plate 222 is fixed on the synchronous belt 242 after passing through the slide groove 226 through the connecting plate 225, so that it moves horizontally following the translation of the synchronous belt 242, and the translation driver 224 drives the box push plate 222 to move back and forth along the length direction of the opposite side baffle plate 221. When the box push plate 222 moves back and forth, it can push the box body to slide out laterally from the lying active channel 21 and can push one side wall of the box body to move horizontally in the labeling channel 223 along the opposite side baffle plate 221. That is to say, one side wall of the box body slides along the outer surface of the opposite side baffle plate 221 toward the labeling area 31 until the box body moves to the labeling area 31, and the labeling machine 32 aligns the box body with the label. When the box body is in a lying state and completes the movement of the opposite side to the labeling area 31, the labeling machine 32 can accurately stick the medication label on the front or back of the box body, so that each box body has a medical prescription containing "usage and dosage". When the box body completes the labeling operation, the box push plate 222 can continue to move to push the box body out of the labeling area 31 and drop it into the movable medicine taking warehouse 5. The patient can take the box body that has completed the labeling from the movable medicine taking warehouse 5. The box body usually refers to the medicine box. Preferably, the two ends of the synchronous belt 242 are provided with travel switches 8. When the connecting plate 225 moves back and forth to the extreme position, the corresponding travel switch 8 will be triggered, so that the travel of the box push plate 222 can be effectively controlled. In addition, at least one side of the labeling area 31 is provided with a second infrared sensor 7. When the box body moves to the labeling area 31, the second infrared sensor 7 detects that the box body has reached the specified position, and the box push plate 222 stops moving and waits for the labeling operation.

[0033] The self-service medicine machine also includes a visual inspection module 20, a movable medicine dispensing bin 5, a control box 9 and a recycling bin 10. The control box 9 is equipped with a main control circuit board of the self-service medicine machine. The control box 9 is electrically connected to the visual inspection module 20. The visual inspection module 20 is controlled by the control box 9. The visual inspection module 20 is usually configured as a camera and a corresponding control module and a supporting structure. When the visual inspection module 20 detects that the box body is placed in an incorrect posture or the box body is different from the preset shipping box body, it will transmit a detection signal back to the control box 9. The control box 9 will control the labeling bin 30 and is located above the labeling bin 30. The movable medicine dispensing bin 5 is located above the labeling bin 30. Below the warehouse 30, after the box body is labeled in the labeling warehouse 30, it will selectively fall into the movable medicine dispensing warehouse 5. A medicine warehouse slide rail 51 is provided at the bottom of the movable medicine dispensing warehouse 5, and a warehouse driving belt 52 is provided on the side of the movable medicine dispensing warehouse 5. The movable medicine dispensing warehouse 5 is connected to the warehouse driving belt 52 through a warehouse connecting plate 53. The warehouse driving belt 52 is a synchronous belt. Under the drive of the warehouse driving belt 52, it can move horizontally along the two medicine warehouse slide rails 51 below the movable medicine dispensing warehouse 5. The warehouse driving belt 52 is also controlled by the control box 9. A recovery warehouse 10 is provided below the movable medicine dispensing warehouse 5, that is, the recovery warehouse 10 is located below the movable medicine dispensing warehouse 5. In actual use, the visual inspection module 20 detects whether the posture of the box body is correct and whether the box body taken by the box-taking platform 1 is correct. If the box body taken is the correct box body and the posture has been set, the movable medicine-taking bin 5 moves inward and moves just below the labeling area 31. The corresponding labeling machine 32 prepares for labeling. After the box body moves to the labeling area 31, the labeling machine 32 performs the labeling operation. After the labeling is completed, since the movable medicine-taking bin 5 moves just below the labeling area 31, the box body that has been labeled continues to move under the action of the box push plate 222 to push the box body out of the labeling area 31 and just fall into the movable medicine-taking bin The medicine bin 5 is in the medicine bin; if the box body taken is not the correct box body or the posture is abnormal and labeling cannot be performed, the movable medicine bin 5 moves outward, away from the bottom of the labeling area 31, and the labeling machine 32 will not prepare for labeling work, that is, no labeling is required, and the box body that has not completed labeling continues to move under the action of the box push plate 222 to push the box body out of the labeling area 31 and fall into the recovery bin 10. In short, for an incorrect box body or a box body with an incorrect posture, the box push plate 222 will push it into the recovery bin 10. This is because the movable medicine bin 5 has been moved away, and the box body cannot fall into the movable medicine bin 5 and falls into the recovery bin 10. A support plate 60 is also provided on the back of the movable medicine dispensing bin 5, and the support plate 60 is fixed on the back of the movable medicine dispensing bin 5. The function of the support plate 60 is that when the movable medicine dispensing bin 5 is taken out as a whole, since the movable medicine dispensing bin 5 is heavy and will easily fall, the support plate 60 is provided to temporarily support the movable medicine dispensing bin 5, thereby ensuring that the movable medicine dispensing bin 5 will not suddenly fall and be damaged when it is taken out.

[0034] In addition, the self-service medicine machine provided in this embodiment also includes a distance sensor 40, which is located on the outer side of the box push plate 222. Specifically, the distance sensor 40 can be fixed on the first limit plate 213, and a push plate hole 227 is provided on the box push plate 222. The detection ray of the distance sensor 40 can pass through the push plate hole 227 to detect whether the box body is in place and the distance between the box body and the first limit plate 213, thereby realizing full control of the position of the box body and being more conducive to determining the travel of the box body.

[0035] Embodiment 2

[0036] The present embodiment provides a self-service medicine machine, including a box taking platform 1, a posture adjustment mechanism and a labeling machine 32. The box taking platform 1 is used to move the box body taken out from the storage aisle 4. The posture adjustment mechanism is used to adjust the posture of at least one specification of the box body and drive the box body to move. The posture adjustment mechanism includes a lying active channel 21 and an opposite side active channel 22. The lying active channel 21 is used to make the box body lie flat and drive the box body to move. The opposite side active channel 22 is used to align at least one corner of the box body with the labeling area 31 and drive the box body to move. The box entry end of the lying active channel 21 is close to the box taking platform 1, and the lying active channel 21 is close to the labeling area 31. The box outlet end of the channel 21 is located on one side of the box inlet end of the opposite active channel 22, and the labeling area 31 is located at the box outlet end of the opposite active channel 22. The labeling machine 32 is used to label the box body and is located at the bottom of the labeling area 31. After the box taking platform 1 takes out a box body from the storage channel 4, it first passes through the lying active channel 21, and is arranged by the lying active channel 21 to make the box body lie flat, and then passes through the opposite active channel 22 to realize at least a pair of mutually perpendicular side edges aligned with the labeling area 31. Under the conveying action of the opposite active channel 22, the box body is conveyed to the labeling area 31 and labeled by the labeling machine 32.

[0037] The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that:

[0038] A transition belt 212 is provided above the flat conveyor belt 211. The transition belt 212 is located above the box entry end of the flat conveyor belt 211. When the box taking pan head 1 moves to the box unloading position, the box exit end of the pan head conveyor belt 11 is located on the side of the box entry end of the transition belt 212, and the box exit end of the transition belt 212 is located on the side of the box entry end of the flat conveyor belt 211. The pan head conveyor belt 11 is higher than the transition belt 212, and the transition belt 212 is higher than the flat conveyor belt 211. Since most of the boxes are rectangular, their length and height are usually much greater than their thickness. For example, the height of most medicine boxes is about 2 to 4 times thicker, and the platform conveyor belt 11 is higher than the transition belt 212. In actual design, the height between the platform conveyor belt 11 and the transition belt 212 is just suitable for the medicine box that is about 2 to 4 times thicker to fall to lie flat. When the design of some medicine boxes is relatively unique, for example, the height is less than 2 times thicker, then the four narrow walls of the medicine box are relatively thick, which will sometimes appear even if the platform conveyor belt 11 and the flat surface are reasonably designed. The height between the lying conveyor belt 211 is such that some medicine boxes with unique shapes will still be in a standing state. Therefore, the self-service medicine machine provided in the present application is also provided with a transition belt 212. The height between the pan-tilt conveyor belt 11 and the transition belt 212 is designed to be suitable for a medicine box that is about 2 to 4 times as high as its thickness and lies flat. The height between the transition belt 212 and the lying conveyor belt 211 is designed to be suitable for a medicine box that is less than 2 times as high as its thickness and lies flat. After designing multiple levels, according to the statistics of at least thousands of experimental results, almost all medicine boxes can be in a lying state. That is to say, when the box taking platform 1 moves to the box unloading position, the height between the platform conveyor belt 11 and the transition belt 212 is the first height, and the height between the transition belt 212 and the lying conveyor belt 211 is the second height. The first height is used to adapt to the tipping of the first type of box body, and the second height is used to adapt to the tipping of the second type of box body. The first height is not equal to the second height, thereby ensuring that almost all medicine boxes are in a lying state. At this time, a medicine box whose height is about 2 to 4 times the thickness can be considered as a first type of box body, and a medicine box whose height is less than 2 times the thickness can be considered as a second type of box body. Theoretically speaking, after the first height and the second height are reasonably designed, it is almost impossible for a medicine box that is already in a lying state to stand up again. Therefore, the more levels of design, the more it can ensure that boxes of various different specifications can be in a platform state. However, experiments show that a two-level design is sufficient to meet the needs of almost all medicine boxes on the market lying flat.

[0039] The transition belt 212 is configured as a conveyor belt or a slide. When the transition belt 212 is configured as a conveyor belt, since the conveyor belt is powered, the transition belt 212 is usually designed to be in a horizontal state or a slightly inclined state; when the transition belt 212 is configured as a slide, the slide is usually set to an inclined state, so that the box body will not stop when it falls into the slide but will slide further, that is, the gravity of the box body is used as the power for sliding. In addition, a spring can be installed at the bottom or side of the slide, so that when the box body falls on the transition belt 212, it is less likely to slide vertically to the flat conveyor belt 211 and stand. Under the action of the spring, the box body is knocked by the inclined slide to make the center of gravity unstable, and it is easier to tip over and lie flat, thereby achieving the technical effect of making all the boxes lie flat. Preferably, the transition belt 212 is configured as a three-roller conveyor belt, which has three belt rollers 50. The reason for this design is that the transition belt 212 is relatively short, and it is difficult to arrange the conveyor belt when it is designed as a two-roller conveyor belt. In order to solve this problem, the transition belt 212 is preferably configured as a three-roller conveyor belt.
