Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automatic medicine sorting machines, and particularly relates to a detection component for the number of medicines in a lane. Background Art

[0002] Currently, when vaccinating in a hospital, it is often necessary to manually prepare the vaccines. After the vaccines are sorted out manually, they are then transported to the nurse's desk for use. Such a method of vaccine sorting and transportation is too inefficient. The medicines described in this application include medicines packaged in square paper boxes and vaccines packaged in square paper boxes.

[0003] Later, mechanical arms were used for grasping and transporting vaccines. This method not only has a high cost, but also has a complex operation process. Therefore, the applicant designed an upright stacked automatic vaccine sorting machine, which can transport the vaccines packaged in paper boxes to the nurse's desk. However, the existing lanes of the automatic vaccine sorting machine cannot count the remaining amount of medicines in the lanes (medicine warehouses). If the medicines in the lanes can be counted, it is convenient to replenish the lanes where the medicines are about to run out in time; at the same time, it is also convenient to count and manage the medicines. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a detection component for the number of medicines in a lane, which has a simple and reasonable design, a stable and reliable structure, and can quickly detect the height of the medicines in the lane.

[0006] A detection component for the number of medicines in a lane includes a frame, a moving induction component, and a plurality of lanes;

[0007] The frame is a vertical mounting frame body, and an installation cavity for installing the lanes is provided in the middle thereof;

[0008] The plurality of lanes are vertically arranged in the installation cavity, and their bottoms are fixed on the frame; the lane is a straight strip-shaped frame body, and a rectangular columnar cavity is provided in the middle, and this cavity is used for stacking and placing medicines (medicine boxes); the same kind of medicine is placed in the same lane (the packaging box sizes of the same kind of medicine are the same). A medicine discharging port is provided at the rear side of the bottom of the lane, and a medicine replenishing port is provided at the front side.

[0009] A detection through hole is provided at the top of the lane, and the vertical direction of the detection through hole reaches the bottom of the columnar cavity of the lane.

[0010] The moving induction component is horizontally arranged at the upper end of the frame and is located above the lanes.

[0011] The mobile sensing component includes a motor, a driving synchronous pulley, a driven synchronous pulley, a synchronous belt, a ranging sensor, a sensor mounting seat, and a detection partition plate. The motor is fixed at one end of the frame, and its output shaft is connected to the driving synchronous pulley. A driven synchronous pulley is provided on the opposite side of the driving synchronous pulley. Both ends of the synchronous belt are respectively sleeved on the outer walls of the driving synchronous pulley and the driven synchronous pulley, and are meshed with the driving synchronous pulley and the driven synchronous pulley for transmission. One end of the sensor mounting seat is fixed on the synchronous belt and is driven by the synchronous belt to move left and right, and a ranging sensor is fixed at the other end. The detection partition plate is horizontally arranged on the frame and is located between the goods channel and the ranging sensor, and is provided with a number of detection holes; each detection hole corresponds to a goods channel and a detection through hole of a goods channel.

[0012] To ensure that the sensor mounting seat and the ranging sensor move smoothly and stably and have a long service life, it further includes a sliding seat and a sliding rail. The sliding seat is fixed at the bottom of the sensor mounting seat, and the sliding rail is horizontally fixed on the frame; the sliding seat is sleeved on the sliding rail and can slide left and right along the sliding rail.

[0013] Preferably, the ranging sensor is a laser ranging sensor, an ultrasonic ranging sensor, an infrared ranging sensor, etc.

[0014] Preferably, travel sensors are respectively provided at the left and right ends of the front side of the sliding rail.

[0015] Briefly describe its working principle:

[0016] The motor drives the ranging sensor to move left and right, and measures the distance to the medicine in the goods channel (the upper surface of the uppermost box of medicine) through the detection holes and the detection through holes, and the distance between the upper surface of the uppermost box of medicine and the ranging sensor can be measured as h; while the distance between the bottom plate of the goods channel and the ranging sensor is a fixed and known height, which is H; therefore, the height of a row of medicine boxes is H - h, and the number of a row of medicine boxes is the "height of a row of medicine boxes" divided by the "height of a single medicine box". Therefore, the number of medicine boxes in the goods channel can be calculated in the above manner.

The motor 21 is fixed at one end of the frame 1, and its output shaft is connected to the driving synchronous pulley 22. A driven synchronous pulley 23 is provided on the opposite side of the driving synchronous pulley 22. Both ends of the synchronous belt 24 are respectively sleeved on the outer walls of the driving synchronous pulley 22 and the driven synchronous pulley 23, and are meshed with the driving synchronous pulley 22 and the driven synchronous pulley 23 for transmission. One end of the sensor mounting seat 26 is fixed on the synchronous belt 24 and is driven by the synchronous belt 24 to move left and right, and a ranging sensor 25 is fixed at the other end. The detection partition plate 27 is horizontally arranged on the frame 1 and is located between the cargo channel 3 and the ranging sensor 25, and a plurality of detection holes 271 are provided thereon; each detection hole 271 corresponds to a cargo channel 3 and a detection through hole 31 of a cargo channel 3.

[0030] To ensure the smooth and stable movement and long service life of the sensor mounting seat 26 and the ranging sensor 25, it further includes a sliding seat 28 and a sliding rail 29. The sliding seat 28 is fixed at the bottom of the sensor mounting seat 26, and the sliding rail 29 is horizontally fixed on the frame 1; the sliding seat 28 is sleeved on the sliding rail 29 and can slide left and right along the sliding rail 29.

The distance between the upper surface of the uppermost box of medicine and the ranging sensor 25 can be measured as h; while the distance between the bottom plate of the cargo channel 3 and the ranging sensor 25 is a fixed and known height, which is H; therefore, the height of the remaining medicine boxes in a row in the cargo channel is H - h, and the number of medicine boxes in a row is the "height of a row of medicine boxes" divided by the "height of a single medicine box". Therefore, the number of medicine boxes in the cargo channel 3 can be measured in the above manner.
