DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] 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.

[0023] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the medicine box transfer mechanism 100 in one embodiment of the present invention includes a medicine box temporary storage device 30, a medicine box transfer device 40, a baffle 10 and a pick plate 20. The medicine box temporary storage device 30 is provided with a plurality of inclined temporary storage slides 31, and a baffle 10 is provided at the end of each temporary storage slide 31. The medicine box transfer device 40 is arranged downstream of the medicine box temporary storage device 30, and can move between different temporary storage slides 31 and can move up and down. The medicine box transfer device 40 is provided with an inclined transfer slide 41, and the pick plate 20 is fixed to one end of the transfer slide 41 facing the temporary storage slide 31. The baffle 10 is used to block the medicine box so that it stays on the temporary storage slide 31, and includes a support arm 11 one end of which is connected to the temporary storage slide 31 and is used to support the medicine box, and a baffle wall 12 protruding from the other end of the support arm 11 and used to block the medicine box. The picking plate 20 can move with the up and down movement of the medicine box transfer device 40 and pick up the medicine box blocked by the blocking piece 10. The picked medicine box slides down to the transfer slide 41 under the action of its own gravity and finally falls to the rear sorting or packaging mechanism.

[0024] In actual operation, since the widths of medicine boxes vary, when medicine boxes of smaller size are transferred to the transfer slide 41, there is a possibility that due to the unstable center of gravity, they cannot land normally on the transfer slide 41, and may even slide into the interior of the device. Therefore, the lifting plate 20 in this embodiment is provided with two top plates 21, which are distributed on both sides of the support arm 11 and extend along the extension direction of the support arm 11 and perpendicular to the direction of the support arm 11. Therefore, the coverage area of ​​the top plates 21 is large, and even if the size of the medicine box is small, it can provide sufficient support for it, smoothly lift the medicine box and slide it smoothly onto the transfer slide 41, thereby preventing the medicine box from sliding to other locations or getting stuck in the gap between the temporary storage slide 31 and the transfer slide 41.

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, a transmission belt 50 is provided at the other end of the medicine box transfer device 40 for receiving the medicine boxes that slide down the transfer slide 41 and transferring the medicine boxes to other mechanisms such as sorting or packaging at the rear end.

[0026] In one embodiment, the baffle 10 is provided with two parallel support arms 11, each with a retaining wall 12 at its end. The two retaining walls 12 extend to either side of the temporary storage slide 31. These two support arms 11 provide additional support points for the medicine box, preventing the situation where one support arm 11 is too narrow and thus unstable. Furthermore, while providing equivalent support, the two support arms 11 are hollowed out, requiring less material and resulting in lower production costs.

[0027] The lifting plate 20 includes a fixed plate 22 for securing to the medicine box transfer device 40. The top plate 21 is connected to the fixed plate 22 via a connecting arm 23. The connecting arm 23 also provides support for larger medicine boxes during movement. Because the two top plates 21 are located on either side of the support arm 11, a gap A is formed between the connecting arm 23 and the top and fixed plates 21, 22, allowing the retaining wall 12 to pass through. This allows the retaining wall 12 to pass through this gap A during the upward movement of the top plate 21 without hindering its upward movement.

[0028] Since the space in gap A is large, the medicine box may fall from the gap A without being transferred to the transfer slide 41. The fixed plate 22 is also extended with a guide bar 24, which extends into the gap between the two support arms 11 to provide blocking and support for the medicine box from the middle, so that the small-volume medicine box will not pass through the gap A and fall into the interior of the device.

[0029] In order to further improve the stability of the medicine box during transportation, the fixed plate 22 has a ridge 25 protruding upward. The ridge 25 is located at one end close to the top plate 22, and its height is between the top plate 21 and the fixed plate 22, and the top is arc-shaped. The ridge 25 extends between the guide bar 24 and the connecting arm 23, and is used to provide a height buffer during the medicine box transportation process, so that a small-sized medicine box can be supported on the ridge 25 when it is about to fall into the gap A in the pick plate 20 and continue to be transported backward.

[0030] It is easy to imagine that the gap A on the lifting plate 20 can be minimized, leaving only enough space for the barrier wall 12 to pass through without affecting the movement, thereby further preventing the medicine box from getting stuck.

[0031] A triangular-shaped bump 26 is provided at the bottom of the top plate 21, with an inclined guide surface 261 extending from the top of the bump 26 to the end of the top plate 21. When the lifting plate 20 moves upward, the medicine box supported on the baffle 10 is lifted and transported backward, and the medicine box behind it moves onto the baffle 10. At this time, when the lifting plate 20 moves downward, the bump 26 below the top plate 21 is used to push the medicine box in the opposite direction of the transport direction to prevent the flat lower surface of the top plate 21 from directly contacting the medicine box and crushing it.

[0032] During actual use, the medicine box transfer device 40 moves to the temporary storage chute 31 corresponding to the target medicine box and then moves upward. The lifting plate 20 fixed to the medicine box transfer device 40 also moves upward, lifting the medicine box supported on the baffle 10. The lifted medicine box moves downward under its own gravity onto the transfer chute 41 and finally falls onto the conveyor belt 50, which transports the medicine box to other mechanisms at the back end. The medicine box transfer device 40 then moves downward and waits for the next medicine lifting operation.

[0033] Preferably, the covering area of ​​the retaining wall 12 can be appropriately increased so that the retaining wall 12 can substantially cover the temporary storage slide 31 in the width direction to prevent the medicine box from falling abnormally. It should be noted that space needs to be reserved between two adjacent retaining pieces 10 for the pick plate 20 (mainly the connecting arm 23) to pass through.

[0034] In one embodiment, one end of the top plate 21 extends to the outside of the temporary storage slide 31 in a direction perpendicular to the direction of medicine box transmission, so that the coverage width of the area where the top plate 21 is located is larger than the width of the temporary storage slide 31 as a whole, further preventing the medicine box from sliding outward without falling onto the transfer slide 41.

[0035] Furthermore, the top surface of the top plate 21 is higher than the top surface of the transfer slide 41, so that the medicine box can slide smoothly to the top surface of the transfer slide 41 without getting stuck. Figure 1 and 3As shown, an inclined surface 231 is provided between the top plate 21 and the transfer slide 41. The inclined surface 231 is formed on the connecting arm 23 and extends to the top surface of the transfer slide 41. The inclined surface 231 makes the connection between the entire top plate 21 and the transfer slide 41 smoother, further preventing the medicine box from getting stuck during the transfer process.

[0036] 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.
