[0033] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in 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 are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 The utility model provides an embodiment of a medicine storage shelf based on automatic medicine sorting, comprising a bottom plate 1, a fixed plate 2 fixedly connected to one side of the bottom plate 1, a mechanical arm 23 fixedly connected to one side of the fixed plate 2, a plurality of storage boxes 9 arranged on the top of the bottom plate 1, a picking assembly arranged on the outer wall of the storage box 9, and a storage assembly arranged inside the storage box 9;

[0035] The storage assembly includes a plurality of partitions 14, which are located inside the storage box 9. The partitions 14 are used to divide the internal space of the storage box 9 into a plurality of independent areas for classifying and storing different items, so that the items in the storage box 9 can be placed more neatly and orderly, and the storage efficiency and space utilization rate can be improved. A plurality of sliders 13 are fixedly connected to the inside of each storage box 9, and both sides of the partitions 14 are slidably connected to the outer wall of the slider 13. The slider 13 provides a stable sliding track for the partition 14, so that the partition 14 can be easily adjusted in the storage box 9. The size of each partition can be flexibly changed according to actual storage needs to adapt to the storage of items of different sizes. A fixed plate 2 16 is fixedly connected to both sides of the top of each partition 14, and a plurality of connecting plates 2 19 are provided between the adjacent fixed plates 2 16. The fixed plates 2 16 are used to fix and support the connecting plates 2 19 and the components connected thereto to ensure the stability and reliability of the structure. The top of each plate 19 is fixedly connected to a push-pull plate 18, which is convenient for the user to apply force. Each connecting plate 19 is fixedly connected to a baffle 20 on one side, and the baffle 20 fits in place with the top of the partition 14, so that the baffle 20 can prevent items from sliding or shifting from above the partition 14, and plays a blocking and limiting role. A plurality of springs 17 are provided on the top of each partition 14, one end of the spring 17 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the baffle 20, and the other end of the spring 17 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed plate 216. Each partition 14 is provided with a slide groove 15 inside. Both sides of the baffle 20 are fixedly connected to a connecting plate 3 21, and a slider 22 is fixedly connected between the connecting plates 3 21 on both sides. The slider 22 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 25. The cooperation of the slide groove 15 and the slider 22 provides a guide and limiting role for the movement of the baffle 20, so that the baffle 20 can only move along a specific direction, ensuring the accuracy and stability of its movement.

[0036] Specifically, during the drug storage process, by pulling the push-pull plates 18 on both sides, the push-pull plates 18 can be moved toward each other, thereby pushing the baffle 18 to move. During this process, the baffle 20 will first move out from the top of one of the sliders 13. As the push-pull plates 18 move, the spring 17 will be squeezed and elastically deformed. This action not only ensures the smooth movement of the push-pull plates 20, but also provides reliable elastic support for subsequent operations. Through the connecting plate 3 21, the force of the spring 17 is transmitted to the slider 2 22, allowing the slider 2 22 to slide smoothly on the inner wall of the slide groove 2 15. At this time, the cooperation between the connecting plate 3 21 and the slider 2 22 can effectively limit the movement of the baffle 20, thereby preventing it from deviating from the predetermined trajectory, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the device, and avoiding component failure or damage due to improper operation. As the push-pull plates 18 continue to move, the partition 14 will be guided to the outer wall of the other slider 13 during this process. When the operator releases the tension on the push-pull plate 18, the rebound force of the spring 17 immediately pushes the baffle 20 in the opposite direction, eventually returning it to the top of the other slider 13, completing the fixation of the position of the partition 14. At this time, the position of the partition 14 is firmly and stably locked, thereby effectively dividing the space inside the storage box 9. According to the quantity and needs of the medicine, the position of the partition 14 can be flexibly adjusted to achieve a reasonable allocation of space. Through such an adjustable structure, users can flexibly configure the storage space according to different storage needs, maximizing the applicability and functionality of the device, increasing the application flexibility of the device, and meeting diverse storage needs.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2, the picking component includes a plurality of identification tags 2 10, one side of the identification tags 2 10 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the storage box 9, the identification tags 2 10 are used to store the relevant information of the items in the storage box 9, such as name, specification, quantity, etc., so that the required storage box 9 can be quickly and accurately identified and located when picking up the items, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of picking up, reducing the search time and the situation of wrong picking up, the top two sides of the bottom plate 1 are fixedly connected with the support frame 3, the support frame 3 provides a stable installation foundation and support structure for components such as the motor 4 and the fixed shaft 24, the inner wall of the support frame 3 on one side is fixedly connected to the motor 4, and the inner wall of the support frame 3 on the other side is fixedly connected to the fixed The fixed shaft 24, the output end of the motor 4 and one end of the fixed shaft 24 are fixedly connected with a connecting disk 5. The connecting disk 5 is not only a key component connecting the motor 4 and the fixed shaft 24, but also provides a carrier for the installation of the identification tag 6. At the same time, its rotation can drive the turntable 7 and the storage box 9 to rotate, realizing the cyclic display of the storage box 9 and the switching of the picking position. Each connecting disk 5 is fixedly connected to a plurality of identification tags 6. The identification tag 6 can store information related to the position or sequence of the storage box 9, and cooperate with the identification tag 10. During the picking process, the information of the two can be compared and confirmed by the identification system, further improving the picking accuracy. The outer wall of the connecting disk 5 on one side is fixedly connected with a turntable 7, which is the main component that drives the storage box 9 to perform a circular motion. Its rotation can make multiple storage boxes 9 pass through a specific picking position in turn, which is convenient for users or automated equipment to quickly obtain the required storage box 9. A slide groove 12 is opened inside the connecting disk 5 on the other side. The slide groove 12 provides a sliding track for the slide bar 11 on one side of the storage box 9, so that the storage box 9 can maintain a relatively stable posture and position relationship during the rotation of the turntable 7, avoiding the storage box 9 from shaking, deflecting or leaving the turntable 7, ensuring the safe and stable operation of the picking component. The movable connection is provided with a plurality of connecting plates 8, which connect two adjacent storage boxes 9, so that the plurality of storage boxes 9 form a relatively stable overall structure. When the turntable 7 rotates, they can move synchronously, and when the number or layout of the storage boxes 9 changes, they can also be easily adjusted and connected, ensuring the flexibility and adaptability of the entire picking assembly. A plurality of slide bars 11 are fixedly connected to one side of each storage box 9. The slide bars 11 cooperate with the slide grooves 12 to guide and limit the movement of the storage box 9 while ensuring that the storage box 9 rotates with the turntable 7, so that its movement trajectory is more precise and controllable, which is conducive to improving the accuracy and reliability of the picking operation.

[0038] Specifically, during the drug taking process, the motor 4 is started. After the motor 4 is started, it drives the rotation of the connecting disk 5, thereby driving the turntable 7 to rotate synchronously. The turntable 7 transmits the rotational motion, causing the connecting plate 1 8 to generate a circular motion, thereby driving the storage box 9 to rotate synchronously in the circumferential direction. In order to ensure the stability of the storage box 9 and prevent it from rotating or shifting in position during the rotation process, the slide 11 will slide along the inner wall of the slide groove 12, thereby effectively limiting the free rotation of the storage box 9 and ensuring that it always moves in a circular motion along the predetermined trajectory. This not only enhances the stability of the system, but also ensures the precise positioning of the drugs during storage and taking. In this process, the identification label 1 6 and the identification label 2 10 are respectively located at the key positions of the storage box 9 and the turntable 7. They provide the identification function of drug information. When the staff needs to take a specific drug, they can quickly identify and lock the target drug by viewing the surface information of these labels, thereby improving the convenience and accuracy of drug taking.

[0039] Working principle: When it is necessary to take medicine, start the motor 4, and use the output end of the motor 4 to drive the connecting disk 5 on one side to rotate. When the connecting disk 5 on one side rotates, it will drive the turntable 7 to rotate synchronously, and use the connecting plate 18 to drive the storage box 9 to rotate synchronously in a circular motion. In this process, the slide bar 11 is driven to slide on the inner wall of the slide groove 12 to ensure that the storage box 9 does not rotate itself during the circular rotation. By checking the surface information of the identification label 1 6 and the identification label 2 10, the specific medicine is found and the medicine is moved to the front of the staff, which improves the portability of the medicine. In the process of storing the medicine, by pulling the push-pull plates 18 on both sides, the push-pull plates 18 on both sides are moved to the opposite side, so that the baffle 2 0 is moved out from the top of one of the sliders 13. During this process, the spring 17 is squeezed, and the slider 22 is driven to slide on the inner wall of the slide groove 2 15 through the connecting plate 3 21. The connecting plates 3 21 and the slider 2 22 on both sides are used to limit the movement of the baffle 20 to avoid deviation from the predetermined trajectory. Then, the partition 14 is moved to the outer wall of the other slider 13. At this time, the pulling force on the push-pull plate 18 is released, and the rebound force of the spring 17 is used to push the baffle 20 to the top of the other slider 13, thereby fixing the position of the partition 14. The position of the partition 14 is moved according to the number of different medicines, and the space inside the storage box 9 is reasonably divided to meet specific usage requirements and enhance the applicability of the equipment.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only 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 can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
