DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the following will be combined with the drawings of the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] like Figure 1-5As shown, the automatic medicine box transmission device 100 in one embodiment of the present invention includes a frame 10, a transmission mechanism 20 and a clamping mechanism 30. The frame 10 is used to provide a fixing and installation position for the transmission mechanism 20 and the clamping mechanism 30. The transmission mechanism 20 is fixed on the frame 10, and is formed with a transmission surface for transporting the medicine box from one end to the other end along the transmission surface. The clamping mechanism 30 is fixed on the frame 10, and includes a first drive component 31 and a second drive component 32, and a pair of clamping plates 33 arranged opposite to each other. The first drive component 31 is used to drive the clamping plates 33 to move above the transmission surface, and the second drive component 32 is used to drive the clamping plates 33 to move closer to and away from each other to complete the clamping and release of the medicine box.

[0026] In actual operation, the first drive assembly 31 drives the clamping plates 33 toward the medicine box to be transferred, and then the second drive assembly 32 drives the clamping plates 33 toward each other to clamp the medicine box. After clamping the medicine box, the first drive assembly 31 transfers the medicine box to the top of the conveying mechanism 20. The second drive assembly 32 reverses, and the clamping plates 33 move away from each other. The medicine box falls onto the conveying mechanism 20 and is finally transferred to the target position by the conveying mechanism 20. The automatic medicine box conveying device 100 of this embodiment has a simple structure and can efficiently perform medicine box conveying operations in a limited environment.

[0027] Specifically, two parallel sets of first drive assemblies 31 are fixed to the frame 10, respectively driving two clamping plates 33. Each set of first drive assemblies 31 includes a first guide rail 311 and a first motor 312. The clamping plates 33 are supported on the first guide rail 311, and the first motor 312 is connected to and drives the clamping plates 33 to move on the first guide rail 311.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, a first gear 313 is fixed at the output end of the first motor 312, and one side of the splint 33 is a clamping surface for clamping a medicine box or a vaccine box, and the other side is a driving surface with a toothed structure. The first gear 313 is engaged with the driving surface, and the first motor 312 drives the first gear 313 to rotate, thereby driving the splint 33 to move.

[0029] In one embodiment, the first drive assembly 31 further includes a support frame 314, to which the first guide rail 311 is fixed. A relatively enclosed mounting space is formed within the support frame 314, and the first gear 313 is disposed within this mounting space to prevent foreign matter from becoming lodged between the first gear 313 and the clamping plate 33. The support frame 314 has a window on the side facing the clamping plate 33, through which a portion of the first gear 313 can be exposed to the outside of the support frame 314, thereby meshing with the clamping plate 33.

[0030] Preferably, to improve stability during operation, a second gear 315 is further disposed within the internal mounting space of the support frame 314. This gear 315 and the first motor 312 are disposed at both ends of the support frame 314 and similarly engage with the clamping plate 33 through a window provided in the support frame 314. The first gear 313 and the second gear 315 respectively include coaxial first and second ring gears, wherein the first ring gear is configured to engage with the clamping plate 33, while the second ring gears of the two gears are connected by a belt. Therefore, the first motor 312 can synchronously drive the two gears to rotate, thereby driving the clamping plate 33 from two locations, resulting in greater stability.

[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, the second drive assembly 32 includes two second guide rails 321, two movable plates 322, and a second motor 323. The two second guide rails 321 are fixed to the frame 10 and arranged parallel to each other. The two movable plates 322 are supported on the two second guide rails 321 and are fixedly connected to the two support frames 314. Driven by the second motor 323, the two movable plates 322 move in opposite directions on their respective second guide rails 321, thereby driving the support frames 314 and the clamping plate 33 away from each other.

[0032] Specifically, the second guide rail 321 and the second motor 323 are fixed below the transmission surface. The movable plate 322 is a roughly L-shaped plate, one side of which is supported on the second guide rail 321. The other side extends through both sides of the frame 10 to the top of the transmission surface, where it is connected and fixed to the support frame 314. To drive the two movable plates 322, a third gear 324 is fixed to the output shaft of the second motor 323, and a fourth gear 325 is fixed to the frame 10. The second motor 323 and the fourth gear 325 are located at either end of the second guide rail 321. The third gear 324 and the fourth gear 325 are connected by a belt. A pair of clamping blocks 326 are fixed to the portion of the movable plate 322 that contacts the second guide rail 321. When the belt moves, the friction between the clamping blocks 326 and the movable plate 322 drives the movable plate 322. Because the two movable plates 322 need to move in opposite directions, two pairs of clamping blocks 326 are respectively clamped to the upper and lower sides of the belt.

[0033] Similarly, to improve stability, two sets of movable plates 322 and second guide rails 321 are fixed to the frame 10, as well as two gear sets consisting of a third gear 324 and a fourth gear 325, respectively, which drive the support frame 314 to move from two positions. The third gears 324 in the two gear sets are connected by a clamping plate 327 to ensure that the two gear sets can rotate synchronously.

[0034] In one embodiment, the transmission mechanism 20 includes a transmission belt 21 and a third motor 22 for driving the transmission belt 21. The surface of the transmission belt 21 constitutes the transmission surface for transporting the medicine or vaccine boxes. A support frame 314 and a clamping plate 33 are disposed above the transmission belt 21.

[0035] Preferably, a detection mechanism is also provided on the frame 10, including a sensor 11 disposed above the transmission belt 21. The sensor 11 is used to detect the position of the medicine box or vaccine box and transmit it to the system for the next step of operation. The sensor 11 can be a light sensor, such as a light transmitter and receiver disposed on both sides of the transmission belt 21. When the light emitted by the former is blocked, resulting in the latter being unable to receive the light normally, it means that the medicine box or vaccine box has been detected. Of course, other types of sensors 11 can also be selected, and this embodiment is not limited thereto.

[0036] For example, the sensor 11 is set at the upstream end of the transmission belt 21. When the splint 33 clamps the medicine box or vaccine box and moves, the sensor 11 detects the medicine box or vaccine box, and the second motor 323 reverses to move the two splints 33 away to release the medicine box or vaccine box. The medicine box or vaccine box falls on the transmission belt 21. Driven by the third motor 22, the transmission belt 21 transmits the medicine box or vaccine box to other mechanisms or equipment at the downstream end.

[0037] The automatic medicine box transport device 100 in this embodiment is further described here in conjunction with specific usage scenarios.

[0038] When a medicine or vaccine box needs to be transported, the first motor 312 drives the clamping plates 33 to the box. The second motor 323 then drives the clamping plates 33 toward each other to clamp the box. The first motor 312 then reverses, moving the box toward the conveyor belt 21. When the sensor 11 detects the box, the second motor 323 reverses, driving the clamping plates 33 away from each other to release the box. After the box lands on the conveyor belt 21, it is driven by the third motor 22 toward other mechanisms or equipment at the rear.

[0039] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be encompassed within the present invention. Any reference sign in a claim should not be construed as limiting the claim to which it relates.

[0040] In addition, it should be understood that although this specification is described in terms of implementation methods, not every implementation method contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
