Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical auxiliary instruments, in particular to a medicine tray with a function of monitoring abnormal falling of medicines under the medicine delivery device of an automatic medicine dispenser. Background Technique
[0002] The automatic medicine dispenser was first developed in the 1990s. In the past 30 years, the occupational transformation of the healthcare system and pharmaceutical services has significantly increased the demand for automation in pharmacies. As more and more hospital pharmacies in China begin to achieve automation, after the patient pays the fee, the prescription information is transmitted to the medicine dispenser. The medicine dispenser automatically identifies the prescription information, and the medicines in the prescription are transmitted to the pharmacist's workbench through a conveyor belt. After being reviewed by the pharmacist, the medicines are sent to the patient. The automated operation not only avoids the errors of manual operation, ensures the accuracy of medicine dispensing, and guarantees the safety of patients' medication, but also reduces the mechanical labor time of pharmacists, enabling pharmacists to have more time for pharmaceutical services such as medication education and guidance, thus improving the patient's medical experience.
[0003] Since there is a certain space between the medicine delivery track and the medicine delivery basket of the medicine dispenser, and the medicine blocking door often opens abnormally and cannot be closed normally, it often happens that medicines fall abnormally under the medicine delivery basket of the automatic medicine dispenser. If it cannot be discovered in time after the occurrence, it will cause the accumulation of medicines in the space under the medicine delivery basket, resulting in a large number of medicines being squeezed and deformed, leading to accidents such as economic losses to the hospital and damage to the medicine dispenser.

[0029] Working principle: The utility model provides a medicine tray with a function of monitoring abnormal dropping of medicines under the medicine delivery device of an automatic medicine dispenser, which includes a medicine tray body 1, a weight sensor 3 and an intelligent control component 2. A reinforcing frame 101 extends outward around the top of the medicine tray body 1, and a fixing hole 103 is penetrated through the reinforcing frame 101; the weight sensor 3 is fixedly arranged on the bottom surface of the medicine tray body 1; the intelligent control component 2 includes a housing 201 and a PCB control board 205. The housing 201 is embedded in the fixing hole 103 of the medicine tray body 1. A limiting groove 203 is arranged around the inner wall of the housing 201, and the PCB control board 205 is fixedly installed on the limiting groove 203. The upper end of the PCB control board 205 is electrically connected to a micro display panel 207 through metal pins, and an alarm 208 is also connected to the PCB control board 205; during specific use, the medicine tray body is placed under the medicine delivery track of the medicine dispenser. When the medicine dispenser works, the medicine drops through the medicine delivery track into the medicine tray body 1. The intelligent control component 2 on the medicine tray body and the medicine dispenser are connected by signal transmission through a wireless communication chip 206. When the medicine dispenser picks up the medicine, the taken tablets will be transmitted to the wireless communication chip 206 in real time. The wireless chip 206 will transmit the information to the micro display panel 207, and the micro display panel 207 will display the medicine information. After the staff gets it, they can verify the medicine in the medicine tray body 1 through the information on the micro display panel 207. When the medicine enters the medicine tray body 1, the weight sensor 3 at the bottom of the medicine tray body 1 weighs the medicine, and the weight sensor 3 transmits the accurate weight information to the wireless communication chip 206. The chip compares the information of the weight sensor 3 with the information of the medicine dispenser. If they are consistent, it indicates that the medicine in the medicine tray body 1 is intact and has not fallen outside the medicine tray body during the transmission process. If they are inconsistent, it indicates that there is a shortage or damage to the medicine in the medicine tray body 1. At this time, the wireless communication chip 206 transmits a signal to the alarm 208, and the alarm 208 emits a sound alarm to remind the staff. The staff can check the medicine delivery track and the medicine tray body in time to avoid the possibility of medicine accumulation caused by abnormal medicine dropping, reduce the situation of medicine extrusion and deformation, and reduce the abnormal loss of hospital medicines.
[0030] As a preferred implementation manner, during use, both sides of the medicine tray body can be fixed on the drawable track, and the medicine can be taken out by pulling the medicine tray when the medicine drops onto the medicine tray, so as to prevent the medicine delivery basket from falling and causing injury to personnel.
[0031] As a preferred implementation manner, it further includes an audible and visual alarm, and the audible and visual alarm is installed on the outer side of the door panel of the automatic medicine dispenser, and the audible and visual alarm is connected by signal transmission with the wireless communication chip. When alarming, light and sound are emitted at the door panel of the automatic medicine dispenser to remind the user that the medicine has abnormally dropped under the medicine delivery device of the automatic medicine dispenser.
[0032] Although the embodiments of the present utility model have been shown and described, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present utility model, and the scope of the present utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
