[0035] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments, but the implementation methods of the present invention are not limited thereto.
[0036] See also Figures 1 to 6 The utility model provides a medicine cabinet, which includes a plurality of medicine storage cartridges 110, each of which is equipped with an indicator light 121, and each medicine storage cartridge 110 is equipped with N indicator lights 121. The on or off state of the N indicator lights 121 equipped with the same medicine storage cartridge 110 is respectively associated with the medicine demand of N dispensing devices. N is an integer greater than or equal to 2 and less than or equal to 8.
[0037] The medicine storage cartridge 110 is used to store medicine bottles, and the medicine bottles contain Chinese herbal medicines, and different medicine bottles may contain different Chinese herbal medicines.
[0038] The above-mentioned drug demand refers to: when the prescription written by the doctor is entered into the corresponding system, the dispensing equipment forms a demand based on the type of medicine in the prescription. In order to meet the drug demand, the dispensing staff needs to take out the medicine bottle containing the corresponding medicine in the medicine cabinet, and then place it on the dispensing station of the dispensing equipment for Chinese medicine dispensing. For example, if the prescription written by the doctor contains white peony, then after the prescription is entered into the corresponding system, the drug demand of the dispensing equipment will include the Chinese medicine white peony. In order to meet the drug demand, the dispensing staff needs to take out the medicine bottle containing white peony granules in the medicine cabinet, and then place it on the dispensing station of the dispensing equipment for Chinese medicine dispensing.
[0039] Generally, in the medicine cabinet of the present invention, all indicator lights 121 associated with the same dispensing device display the same color, and the indicator lights 121 associated with different dispensing devices display different colors.
[0040] For example, Figure 1 As shown, N is equal to 2. At this time, each drug storage cartridge 110 is equipped with two indicator lights 121, wherein the on or off status of one indicator light 121 is associated with one of the dispensing devices, and the color displayed when it is on is blue, and the on or off status of the other indicator light 121 is associated with another dispensing device, and the color displayed when it is on is red.
[0041] Thus, during use, the medicine cabinet can be used in conjunction with two dispensing devices. When a certain blue indicator light 121 is lit, it means that the medicine bottle stored in the medicine storage cartridge 110 corresponding to the indicator light 121 needs to be placed on one of the dispensing devices for Chinese medicine dispensing; when a certain red indicator light 121 is lit, it means that the medicine bottle stored in the medicine storage cartridge 110 corresponding to the indicator light 121 needs to be placed on another dispensing device for Chinese medicine dispensing; when two indicator lights 121 corresponding to the same medicine storage cartridge 110 are lit at the same time, it means that the medicine bottle stored in the medicine storage cartridge 110 needs to be placed on two dispensing devices in turn for Chinese medicine dispensing, at which time the dispensing staff can take the medicine bottle off, first place it on one of the dispensing devices for Chinese medicine dispensing, and then transfer it to another dispensing device for Chinese medicine dispensing, and after completion, put the medicine bottle back into the corresponding medicine storage cartridge 110.
[0042] For another example, the indicator light 121 associated with a certain dispensing device displays a blue color. When the medicine demand of the dispensing device includes white peony, the blue indicator light 121 corresponding to the medicine bottle containing white peony granules in the medicine cabinet will be lit under the system's deployment. At this time, the dispensing staff only needs to find the lit blue indicator light 121, then take out the corresponding medicine bottle and place it on the dispensing device. This improves the efficiency of finding the required medicine bottle for the dispensing staff. They can quickly find the required medicine bottle based on the lighting status and color of the indicator light. The operation is simple and fast, which improves work efficiency and reduces the error rate.
[0043] Of course, in some embodiments of the present invention, the medicine cabinet can also be used in conjunction with more dispensing devices. For example, when N is equal to 3, 4 or a larger value, the number of indicator lights 121 equipped with each medicine storage cartridge 110 is 3, 4 or more, and the on or off status of each indicator light 121 is respectively associated with the medicine demand of each dispensing device, and the illuminated colors are also different. At this time, the medicine cabinet can be used in conjunction with 3, 4 or more dispensing devices.
[0044] In some embodiments of the present invention, see Figure 1 and Figure 4 The front side of the medicine cabinet 100 is provided with a front panel 130 , and the front panel 130 is provided with a plurality of cartridge holes 131 for inserting the drug storage cartridges 110 .
[0045] Among them, see Figure 4The front panel 130 is provided with corresponding lamp holes 132 near each cartridge hole 131, and the number of the lamp holes 132 provided near each cartridge hole 131 is N. The indicator lights 121 are arranged on the back of the front panel 130, and the N indicator lights 121 equipped with each cartridge 110 correspond to the corresponding N lamp holes 132 one by one.
[0046] For example, Figure 4 As shown, N is equal to 2. At this time, two lamp holes 132 are opened near each cartridge hole 131, and the two indicator lights 121 equipped with each drug storage cartridge 110 correspond to the two lamp holes 132 one by one.
[0047] The specific arrangement positions of the two indicator lights 121 relative to the cartridge hole 131 can be varied, and the present invention does not impose any specific restrictions thereon, as long as the user can easily see at a glance the corresponding relationship between the indicator lights 121 and the corresponding cartridges 110. Figure 1 In the figure, the two indicator lights 121 are arranged adjacent to each other and are next to the corresponding cartridge hole 131 and are located at the lower right side of the cartridge hole 131. When the indicator light 121 is on, the medicine bottle at the upper left is the corresponding medicine bottle. The user can recognize the corresponding relationship between the indicator light 121 and the medicine bottle at a glance, and will not take the wrong medicine bottle.
[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, the indicator light 121 is an LED lamp bead, which is equipped with a lamp cap 140 , and the lamp cap 140 is engaged in the lamp hole 132 .
[0049] For details, see Figure 5 The lamp cap 140 includes a cap column 141 and a cap top 142. The cap column 141 and the cap top 142 are both made of a light-transmitting material, and the two are connected to each other as a whole and have a hollow structure. Among them, the side of the cap column 141 away from the cap top 142 is an open structure, and the cap column 141 is inserted into the lamp hole 132 from the front side of the front panel 130. The cap top 142 is raised relative to the front panel 130, the outer diameter of the cap top 142 is larger than the outer diameter of the cap column 141, and the outer surface of the cap top 142 on the side away from the cap column 141 is an arc-shaped surface with a middle raised height greater than the surrounding raised heights.
[0050] Preferably, see Figure 5 The outer wall of the cap column 141 is also provided with a plurality of ridges 1411 extending in the axial direction. When the cap column 141 is inserted into the lamp hole 132, the ridges 1411 and the inner wall of the lamp hole 132 are pressed against each other, so that the lamp cap 140 can be stably engaged in the lamp hole 132 and is not easy to fall off.
[0051] The purpose of setting the above-mentioned lamp cap 140 is that: since the indicator light 121 uses LED lamp beads, when it is lit, the light spot is small and more dazzling. After setting the lamp cap 140, when the light of the LED lamp bead passes through the cap column 141 and shines on the cap top 142, the light will be softer, and the curved surface of the cap top 142 can also expand the light spot size of the light, which is convenient for the dispensing personnel to observe.
[0052] In some embodiments of the present invention, see Figure 6 The drug storage cartridge 110 has an open end 111 and a closed end 112 that are arranged opposite to each other. The open end 111 is formed with an annular ridge 114. A bayonet 113 is arranged on the back of the annular ridge 114. The bayonet 113 is formed by a clamping block 115 arranged near the annular ridge 114 and the annular ridge 114. The gap between the two is the bayonet 113. When the drug storage cartridge 110 is inserted into the cartridge hole 131, the bayonet 113 will engage with the edge of the cartridge hole 131, so that the drug storage cartridge 110 can be firmly inserted into the cartridge hole 131.
[0053] Among them, see Figure 6 As shown in the enlarged view in FIG. 1 , a protruding structure 1151 is formed on one side of the block 115 facing the annular ridge 114 , and the protruding structure 1151 is conducive to the bayonet 113 to engage and clamp the edge of the cartridge hole 131 .
[0054] Preferably, there are three bayonet holes 113 which are evenly distributed around the opening end 111 .
[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, the inner diameter of the medicine storage cartridge 110 gradually shrinks in the direction from the open end 111 to the closed end 112. The gradual shrinkage of the inner diameter of the medicine storage cartridge 110 is conducive to the smooth insertion of the medicine bottle into the medicine storage cartridge 110, and as the insertion depth increases, the bottle head of the medicine bottle will be sealed by the shrinking shape of the inner wall of the medicine storage cartridge 110 to prevent moisture in the air from entering the medicine bottle through the bottle head of the medicine bottle and affecting the medicine in the medicine bottle.
[0056] In some embodiments of the present invention, see Figure 3 , a plurality of PCB light boards 120 are arranged on the back of the front panel 130, and the LED lamp beads of the indicator light 121 are installed on the PCB light board 120. Among them, adjacent PCB light boards 120 can be connected in series with each other through wiring, and any PCB light board 120 controls the lighting and extinguishing of M groups of indicator lights. The N indicator lights 121 equipped with a drug storage cartridge 110 are called a group of indicator lights; M is an integer greater than or equal to 2 and less than or equal to 12.
[0057] For example, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, N is equal to 2 and M is equal to 7, which means that: a drug storage cartridge 110 is equipped with 2 indicator lights, and these 2 indicator lights 121 are called a group of indicator lights. Any PCB light board 120 can control the lighting and extinguishing of any indicator light 121 in the 7 groups of indicator lights.
[0058] Among them, the adjacent PCB light boards 120 mentioned above can be connected in series through the wiring, including both the left and right adjacent PCB light boards 120 connected in series through the wiring, and the upper and lower adjacent PCB light boards 120 connected in series through the wiring. For example, a medicine cabinet is stacked with multiple rows of drug storage cartridges 110, and two or more PCB light boards 120 are arranged on the back of each row of drug storage cartridges 110. When connecting the PCB light boards 120 in series, the PCB light boards 120 can be connected in series in a serpentine route, so that all the PCB light boards 120 are connected in series on one line.
[0059] Among them, see Figure 4 The back of the front panel 130 is provided with a threaded column 133 for fixing the PCB light board 120. Each PCB light board 120 is fixed to the corresponding threaded column 133 by screws, so as to be fixed to the back of the front panel 130. Figure 3 The PCB light board 120 forms an avoidance structure at a position corresponding to the cartridge hole 131 to avoid blocking the cartridge hole 131.
[0060] In the above technical solution, the PCB light board 120 for controlling the indicator light does not adopt an integral structure, but a split structure, which is convenient for assembly and replacement on the one hand, and also convenient for transportation on the other hand.
[0061] In some embodiments of the present invention, see Figure 1 The medicine cabinet further includes two support frames 161, a top frame 162 and a bottom frame 163. The two support frames 161 are arranged opposite to each other and extend vertically. The top frame 162 is connected between the tops of the two support frames 161. The bottom frame 163 is connected between the bottoms of the two support frames 161. The medicine storage cartridge 110 and the front side panel 130 are arranged in the area enclosed by the two support frames 161, the top frame 162 and the bottom frame 163.
[0062] The top frame 162 is detachably connected to the support frame 161 through an angle plate with an L-shaped cross section, and the bottom frame 163 is detachably connected to the support frame 161 through an angle plate with an L-shaped cross section. The angle plate of the L-shaped plate helps the top frame 162, the bottom frame 163 and the support frame 161 to be quickly connected, and the stability after connection is strong, and it is also easy to disassemble when disassembled.
[0063] The above description is only the preferred implementation of the utility model, and is not intended to limit the utility model. For those skilled in the art, the utility model can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
