[0023] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0024] Example: Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the medicine lifting and conveying mechanism of the automatic medicine vending machine of the present invention includes a body 1, an operation screen 4 is installed on the front side of the body 1, and an existing controller (not shown in the figure) is provided inside the body 1. The controller is used to control the start and stop of electrical components required for the normal operation of the body 1, such as the motor 17, the cylinder 14, etc., which will not be described in detail here.

[0025] A placement cavity 5 is provided on the front of the body 1, and a glass baffle 2 is installed on the body 1 and at the placement cavity 5. The glass baffle 2 makes it easy to check the condition of the boxed medicine bottles 8 inside the body 1 and the condition of unloading after purchase. A plurality of shelves 7 are installed in the placement cavity 5, and a plurality of boxed medicines 8 are placed on the shelves 7. The shelves 7 are common shelves 7 in existing automatic medicine vending machines. The process of unloading the boxed medicines 8 after the buyer purchases the boxed medicines 8 is an existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0026] The front of the body 1 is provided with a medicine dispensing port 3, which is located in the middle of the front of the body 1 and faces upwards, so that the purchaser can take the medicine without having to squat down to take the medicine. A square frame 9 is installed inside the body 1 and at the bottom of the shelf 7. A medicine box 12 is provided on one side of the square frame 9. A threaded rod 13 is rotatably provided on the inner wall of one side of the placement cavity 5. The medicine box 12 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 13 through a connecting block 16. After the boxed medicine 8 is purchased and unloaded, the boxed medicine 8 will first fall into the square frame 9 and then enter the medicine box 12. Finally, the threaded rod 13 will lift the medicine box 12 and the boxed medicine 8 therein to the medicine dispensing port 3, so that the user can take the medicine. After taking the medicine, the medicine box 12 will return to its original position under the action of the threaded rod 13. There is a gap between the medicine box 12 and the shelf 7, so as to prevent the existence of the shelf 7 from affecting the movement of the medicine box 12.

[0027] It should be noted that weight sensors (existing technology, not shown in the figure) are installed in the square frame 9 and the medicine box 12. The weight sensor senses the weight of the boxed medicine 8, and transmits the signal to the existing controller in the body 1 (the weight sensor is electrically connected to the controller). After receiving the signal, the controller controls the cylinder 14 and the motor 17 to work, thereby realizing the function of transporting the boxed medicine 8 from the square frame 9 to the medicine box 12, moving the medicine box 12 and the boxed medicine 8 to the medicine removal port 3, and returning the medicine box 12 to its original position after the medicine is removed from the medicine port.

[0028] Two mounting slots 6 are defined on the inner wall of the placement chamber 5. A guide rod 15 is fixedly mounted within one of the mounting slots 6, and a threaded rod 13 is rotatably mounted within the mounting slot 6. Two connecting blocks 16 are fixedly attached to the side of the square frame 9 facing the mounting slot 6. Each connecting block 16 is slidably connected to the mounting slot 6, with one connecting block 16 threadedly connected to the threaded rod 13 and the other connecting block 16 slidably connected to the guide rod 15. The two connecting blocks 16 move along the threaded rod 13 and guide rod 15, respectively, thereby moving the medicine box 12 and acting as a guide.

[0029] A square groove is formed on the inner wall of the placement chamber 5 and at the top of one of the mounting grooves 6. A motor 17 is installed in the square groove. The top end of the threaded rod 13 rotates through the mounting groove 6 and is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 17. The motor 17 is a forward and reverse motor. When it is working, it can drive the threaded rod 13 to rotate, and the height of the medicine box 12 can be adjusted by rotating the threaded rod 13.

[0030] The top and one side of the square frame 9 are both through-holes, and a guide plate 10 is rotatably mounted between the inner walls of the square frame 9. A cylinder 14 is hingedly connected between the bottom surface of the guide plate 10 and the inner bottom surface of the square frame 9. When a weight sensor on the bottom surface of the guide plate 10 in the square frame 9 senses a weight change, it transmits a signal to the controller, which instructs the cylinder 14 to lift the guide plate 10 upward, causing the boxed medicine 8 on the guide plate 10 to slide into the medicine box 12.

[0031] The side of the guide plate 10 close to the medicine box 12 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the square frame 9 through a rotating shaft (not shown in the figure), so that the cylinder 14 can adjust its tilt angle to make the boxed medicine 8 on the guide plate 10 slide down.

[0032] The top surface of the medicine box 12 is through-through, and openings are provided on the front side of the medicine box 12 and on the side facing the square frame 9, and a shield 11 is hingedly provided at one end of the opening on the front side and the medicine taking port 3. The top surfaces of the shield 11 are hinged to the opening and the medicine taking port 3 respectively through a rotating shaft (not shown in the figure), so that when taking the boxed medicine 8, the shield 11 will be forced to rotate inward, which is convenient for taking the medicine and can play a certain protective role in the vertical state.

[0033] The opening on one side of the medicine box 12 is connected to the side through-end of the square frame 9, and the bottom surface of the opening is lower than the bottom surface of the side through-end of the square frame 9, and the top surface of the opening is higher than the bottom surface of the through-end, so that the boxed medicine 8 on the guide plate 10 can slide into the medicine box 12.

[0034] During operation, the medicine dispensing port 3 is set in the upper middle part of the front of the body 1. After the buyer buys the boxed medicine 8, the boxed medicine 8 first falls into the square frame 9, and then slides into the medicine box 12 under the action of the guide plate 10. Thereafter, the medicine box 12 moves up to the medicine dispensing port 3 under the action of the threaded rod 13. The buyer can take out the medicine from the medicine dispensing port 3 without squatting to take the medicine.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art will be able to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein with equivalents. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
