[0019] 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.
[0020] See also Figures 1 to 4The utility model provides a technical solution: a medicine dispensing tray device for a pharmacy, comprising a bottom plate 1 and a vibration plate 2, the vibration plate 2 forms a certain angle with the horizontal plane, the angle range of this angle is 2 to 10 degrees, the lower end surface of the vibration plate 2 is in contact with the eccentric wheel 14, the eccentric wheel 14 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the vibration motor 13, the vibration plate 2 is connected to the bottom plate 1 through a column 11. Of course, the column 11 is a connecting component, and it can also be connected through a plate. A shock-absorbing component 12 is also installed between the column 11 and the vibration plate 2. The shock-absorbing component 12 can use a shock-absorbing pad or a shock-absorbing spring, etc., to reduce the impact of the vibration of the vibration plate 2 on other components; the upper end surface of the vibration plate 2 is divided into a plurality of medicine bins 3 by a partition, and conveyor belts 4 are arranged on both sides of the tablet outlet of the medicine bin 3. The two opposite groups of conveyor belts 4 form a certain angle, and the conveyor belts 4 are vertical. Perpendicular to the vibration plate 2, a sponge is set on the surface of the conveyor belt 4, and the transmission motor of the conveyor belt is installed on the lower end surface of the vibration plate 2. As for the conveyor belt 4, the rotating shaft of the conveyor belt 4 and the connection method between the transmission motor and the rotating shaft, they are known common sense. In this application, the conveyor belt 4 can be made to rotate normally according to existing knowledge and actual conditions; an inclined channel 5 is set at the discharge end of the conveyor belt 4, and the inclined channel 5 forms a certain angle with the horizontal plane. The angle is designed to be 45 degrees in this application, and a first counting sensor 6 is set on the side wall of the inclined channel 5. The inclined channel 5 does not contact the vibration plate 2. The inclined channel 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 1 through a support plate 15 to prevent the vibration of the vibration plate 2 from affecting the correct counting of the first counting sensor 6 in the inclined channel 5; a collecting box 10 is set below the inclined channel 5, and the collecting box 10 is detachably connected to the bottom plate 1 by a magnet.
[0021] The first counting sensor 6 is a photoelectric distance sensor that detects the sidewalls of the tablets. Because the tablets are round, the distance between the sidewalls and the counting sensor varies significantly as they pass through, allowing the counting sensor to accurately count the number of tablets that pass through.
[0022] Regarding the determination of the sponge thickness and the distance between the two sponges at the feed port and the discharge port: Generally, the diameter of round tablets ranges from 5 to 19 mm. The purpose of setting the conveyor belt 4 and the sponge on the surface of the conveyor belt 4 in this application is to enable drugs with a diameter of 5 to 19 mm to easily enter the feed port when they reach the feed port of the conveyor belt 4, and to be continuously squeezed between the sponges during the process of moving toward the discharge port of the conveyor belt 4 and finally pass through the discharge port. Here, the distance between the two sponges at the feed port is required to be greater than or equal to the diameter of the largest tablet, i.e. 19 mm, and the distance between the two sponges at the discharge port is less than and close to the diameter of the smallest tablet. Of course, at the discharge port, in order to ensure that the largest diameter drug can pass through the discharge port when the sponge is fully compressed, the sponge thickness is 7 mm under ideal conditions where it can be fully compressed. Therefore, in this application, the sponge thickness is required to be greater than 8 mm. Of course, the values related to the sponge, feed port, and discharge port can be changed according to the range of tablet diameters.
[0023] A vertical channel 9 is provided between the collecting box 10 and the inclined channel 5. The vertical channel 9 connects to the inclined channel 5. The vertical channel 9 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. A lip plate 7 is provided at the end of the inclined channel 5. The lip plate 7 extends into the vertical channel 9. A second counting sensor is provided in the extending direction of the lip plate 7. The second sensor is installed on the mounting plate 8. The mounting plate 8 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the vertical channel 9.
[0024] The second counting sensor is a pressure sensor. When the medicine slides down from the inclined channel 5 to the lip plate 7 at the end of the inclined channel 5, it will collide with the pressure sensor, thereby causing the value of the pressure sensor to change and then count.
[0025] It also includes a display component and an alarm. The installation positions of the display component and the alarm can be determined according to actual conditions. The display component can respectively display the counts of the tablets by the first sensor and the second sensor. When the counts measured by the first sensor and the second sensor are different, the alarm will issue a prompt, and then the staff will use other methods to measure the number of tablets.
[0026] When using the new type of device, first pour the tablets into the medicine storage bin 3, control the vibration motor 13 and the transmission motor to rotate, because the vibration plate 2 is tilted, under the action of the vibration motor 13 and the eccentric wheel 14, the tablets vibrate and move along the vibration plate 2 to the tablet outlet of the medicine storage bin 3, and then the tablets enter the feeding port of the conveyor belt. In the process of the tablets moving from the feeding port to the discharge port, the sponge and the medicine will be continuously squeezed and the sponge will be compressed. Finally, the tablets enter the inclined channel 5 through the discharge port of the conveyor belt, and the tablets slide along the inclined channel 5. Every time a tablet passes through the first counting sensor 6, , the first counting sensor 6 counts plus 1, then the tablet reaches the end of the inclined channel 5, slides over the lip plate 7, enters the vertical channel 9 and hits the second counting sensor, causing the pressure of the second counting sensor to change. Each time a tablet hits the second counting sensor, the second counting sensor counts plus 1. Finally, the tablet passes through the vertical channel 9 and falls into the collection box 10 directly below the vertical channel 9. When the count reaches the set value, the vibration motor 13 and the transmission motor will stop rotating. At this time, no more medicine will enter the feeding port of the conveyor belt. The collection box 10 is removed and the tablets are poured into the medicine bag to complete the counting and packaging. In addition, the display component will respectively display the values of the first counting sensor 6 and the second counting sensor. When the two counts are different, the alarm will sound a prompt to remind the operator. At this time, the operator can use other devices or methods to count the tablets.
[0027] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
