Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of robots, and particularly relates to a medicine delivery robot with an independent medicine storage structure. Background Art

[0002] Delivering oral medicine to patients is a task that hospitals and nursing homes need to perform frequently. Since this task is relatively mechanical, relevant units will consider using medicine delivery robots to deliver medicine to patients in order to reduce labor consumption. In some current medicine delivery robots, their medicine storage mechanisms are often independent small drawers with open tops. After the medicine delivery robot moves to the patient's side and the robot body controls the corresponding small drawer to pop out for the patient to get the medicine, when the patient needs to reach into the small drawer in a top-to-bottom manner to get the medicine, the patient usually lies in bed and has limited visibility. The obstruction of the side wall of the small drawer will cause the patient to be unable to directly see the medicine. When the patient gets the medicine, they mostly perceive the position of the medicine by touching. This touch perception method cannot intuitively judge the position of the medicine, making it difficult for the patient to accurately get the medicine. Therefore, in view of the above problems, we propose a medicine delivery robot with an independent medicine storage structure. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] To overcome the problems existing in the related art, the utility model discloses a medicine delivery robot with an independent medicine storage structure.

Detailed implementation manners

[0031] The present utility model will be further described below with reference to the drawings.

[0032] Referring to Figures 1 - 7 As shown, the medicine delivery robot with an independent medicine storage structure in this embodiment includes a robot body 1 and a medicine storage mechanism 2. The robot body 1 includes a body, a moving base, and a control panel. The moving base is arranged at the lower end of the body, and the control panel is arranged at the upper end of the body. The moving base can drive the entire robot to move along a predetermined route under the control of the control panel, so that the robot can move to the position of the target patient. The control panel is integrated with components such as a processor, a touch display, a camera, a loudspeaker, and a microphone. The control panel is used to control the operation of the medicine delivery robot, and at the same time, the control panel is also used to interact with the user. There is also an assembly slot for assembling the medicine storage mechanism 2 on the front side of the middle part of the body, and the medicine storage mechanism 2 is assembled in this assembly slot.

[0033] In this embodiment, the medicine storage mechanism 2 includes a medicine storage box 21 and a closing assembly 22. The front of the medicine storage box 21 has a number of medicine storage slots 211. In this embodiment, there are eighteen distributed in three columns and six rows. Each medicine storage slot 211 is provided with a closing assembly 22. The closing assembly 22 can close the opening of the medicine storage slot 211, and at the same time, it also serves as a carrier for placing medicines and is also used to send the medicines out of the medicine storage slot 211.

[0034] In this embodiment, the closing component 22 includes a medicine storage member 221 and a driver 222. The medicine storage member 221 includes a bottom plate 2211, a sealing plate 2212, and side plates 2213. The sealing plate 2212 is fixedly connected to the side edges of the side plates 2213 at a certain angle. In this embodiment, the angle is 90 degrees. The bottom plate 2211 is fixedly connected to the lower ends of the sealing plate 2212 and the side plates 2213. The upper end of the bottom plate 2211 is used for placing medicines. The medicine storage member 221 is longitudinally rotatably connected to one side of the opening of the medicine storage groove 211. In this embodiment, it is the left side of the opening of the medicine storage groove 211. The rotation axis of the medicine storage member 221 is located at the connection between the sealing plate 2212 and the side plates 2213.

[0035] The driver 222 is used to drive the medicine storage member 221 to rotate under the control of the robot body 1. In this embodiment, the widths of the sealing plate 2212 and the side plates 2213 are almost the same and slightly smaller than the width of the medicine storage groove 211, so that the sealing plate 2212 and the side plates 2213 can smoothly rotate into or out of the medicine storage groove 211. In addition, when the sealing plate 2212 rotates forward to be flush with the opening of the medicine storage groove 211, the sealing plate 2212 can close the opening of the medicine storage groove 211. In this state, the bottom plate 2211 and the side plates 2213 will both be located inside the medicine storage groove 211. Thus, the medicines placed on the bottom plate 2211 can be stored in the medicine storage groove 211.

[0036] When the robot body 1 controls the closing component 22 to open for the patient to take medicine, the robot body 1 will control the driver 222 to drive the medicine storage member 221 to rotate in the reverse direction, so that the sealing plate 2212 and the bottom plate 2211 rotate out of the medicine storage groove 211 until the bottom plate 2211 extends forward out of the medicine storage groove 211. Thus, the medicines are sent out of the medicine storage groove 211 by the bottom plate 2211. Since there are no other components to block the side of the bottom plate 2211 away from the sealing plate 2212 and the side plates 2213, a bedridden patient can directly see the medicines on the bottom plate 2211 through this side. Thus, the patient can directly take the medicines without having to touch and feel the position of the medicines, enabling the patient to accurately take the medicines and improving the medicine-taking efficiency.

[0037] In this embodiment, the medicine storage member 221 further includes an arc-shaped toothed plate 2214. The arc-shaped toothed plate 2214 is fixedly connected between the sealing plate 2212 and the side plate 2213. The arc-shaped side surface of the arc-shaped toothed plate 2214 is coaxial with the rotation axis of the medicine storage member 221, and the arc-shaped side surface of the arc-shaped toothed plate 2214 has a number of meshing teeth. In addition, the driver 222 includes a driving motor and a driving gear. The driving motor is fixedly connected to the top wall of the medicine storage tank 211, and the driving gear is arranged at the output end of the driving motor and meshes with the meshing teeth of the arc-shaped toothed plate 2214. When the robot body 1 controls the driver 222 to work, it is actually controlling the driving motor to work. When the driving motor drives the driving gear to rotate forward, since the driving gear is externally meshed with the arc-shaped toothed plate 2214, it will drive the arc-shaped toothed plate 2214 to rotate in the reverse direction, so that the medicine storage member 221 can be rotated out and opened. Similarly, when the driving motor drives the driving gear to rotate forward, it can drive the medicine storage member 221 to rotate back to close the medicine storage tank 211.

[0038] It is worth mentioning that in this embodiment, the shape of the bottom plate 2211 is an arc-shaped plate coaxial with the rotation axis of the medicine storage member 221. The radius of the bottom plate 2211 matches the opening of the medicine storage tank 211, that is, it is slightly smaller than the width of the medicine storage tank 211. In this way, while ensuring that the bottom plate 2211 can smoothly enter and exit the medicine storage tank 211, a larger storage area can be obtained for placing medicines. In this embodiment, the radius of the arc-shaped toothed plate 2214 is smaller than the radius of the bottom plate 2211. Such a setting can leave an installation position for the driver 222. In addition, in this embodiment, the arc-shaped side edge position of the bottom plate 2211 is higher than the center position of the bottom plate 2211. Specifically, the upper end surface of the bottom plate 2211 is an inverted conical surface. Such a setting can guide the storage position of the medicine, so that the medicine gathers at the angle between the sealing plate 2212 and the side plate 2213 to prevent the medicine from sliding out of the bottom plate 2211.

[0039] The medicine storage member 221 of this embodiment is an integrally formed structure, which has a high strength and can be formed by injection molding with a mold.

[0040] In this embodiment, the medicine storage member 221 is provided with a shaft hole 2215 at the connection between the sealing plate 2212 and the side plate 2213. In addition, a rotating shaft 212 passing through the shaft hole 2215 is assembled between the top wall and the bottom wall of the medicine storage tank 211. In this way, the medicine storage member 221 is rotatably connected to the medicine storage tank 211.

[0041] In summary, the present utility model discloses a medicine delivery robot with an independent medicine storage structure. The medicine delivery robot has an independent medicine storage structure, which can automatically deliver medicines. In addition, this medicine storage structure is beneficial for patients to directly see the location of the medicines without the need to perceive them by touch, which is beneficial for bedridden patients to accurately take medicines.
