DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] 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.
[0024] like Figure 1-Figure 5The device for arranging and outputting tablets shown in the figure comprises a box body 1, a medicine column 3 and a medicine discharging mechanism 4. A partition 2 is installed in the box body 1, and the inner side of the box body 1 is divided into an upper part and a lower part by the partition 2. The part above the partition 2 is set as a medicine bin 11, and the medicine bin 11 is filled with a medicine pile 12 composed of tablets. The problem to be solved by the present invention is to arrange and output the tablets in the medicine pile 12 in an orderly manner. Therefore, the present invention designs a structure for taking the medicine column 3, which is movably installed on the partition 2. The medicine column 3 can move vertically up and down, and can sink into the medicine pile when it descends. In the pile 12, the tablets are piled on the top of the medicine taking column 3. The top of the medicine taking column 3 adopts a special structural design. When the medicine taking column 3 rises, only one row of tablets can be taken out from the medicine pile 12. The medicine discharging mechanism 4 is installed corresponding to the rising limit position of the medicine taking column 3. The tablets on the medicine taking column 3 can be output through the medicine discharging mechanism 4. The utility model obtains an orderly row of tablets through the medicine taking column 3 and then outputs them, thereby solving and meeting the demand for orderly output of tablets in rows. The medicine taking process of the utility model is fully automated, the medicine taking effect is good, and it has good practical effect.
[0025] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a medicine taking head 31 with an arc shape is provided on the top of the medicine taking column 3. The medicine taking head 31 is responsible for extracting tablets from the medicine pile 12. The arc shape is designed to prevent the tablets from staying on the arc surface of the medicine taking head 31. The medicine taking function is realized by the pits 32. A plurality of pits 32 are provided along the length direction of the medicine taking head 31. The plurality of pits 32 are evenly distributed and arranged in a row along the length direction of the medicine taking head 31. Each pit 32 can only accommodate one tablet. Except for the pits 32, tablets cannot be accommodated at any other position of the medicine taking head 31. When there is a tablet staying in each pit 32, each time the medicine taking column 3 rises, the number of tablets corresponding to the number of pits 32 are smoothly taken out from the medicine pile. Since the pits 32 are evenly distributed in a row, the extracted tablets are also orderly and evenly distributed in a row.
[0026] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the medicine discharging mechanism 4 is arranged above the medicine pile 12 so that the medicine discharging operation is not affected by the medicine pile 12. The medicine discharging mechanism 4 includes a pushing component 41 and a medicine delivery tube 42. The number of the medicine delivery tubes 42 matches the number of the pits 32 on the medicine dispensing head 31. The medicine delivery tube 42 is provided with a medicine inlet 421 and a medicine outlet 422. The medicine inlet 421 extends upward into the medicine bin 11 to receive the tablets on the medicine column 3. The medicine outlet 422 extends vertically downward outside the box body 1. The tablets slide along the medicine delivery tube 42 and fall vertically downward at the medicine outlet 422. A single drug delivery tube 42 corresponds to the output of a single tablet, and the drug inlet 421 of the drug delivery tube 42 corresponds one to one to the position of the pit 32 of the drug dispensing head 31. The pushing component 41 can push the tablets on the drug dispensing head 31 into the corresponding drug delivery tube 42 for output. The tablets on each pit 32 can fall into the drug inlet 421 of each drug delivery tube 42. The pit 32 should be designed to be shallow, just enough to allow the tablet to stay, without affecting the pushing and output of the tablet. The drug inlet 421 of the drug delivery tube 42 adopts a trumpet design with a large diameter, which is convenient for smoothly receiving the tablets.
[0027] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the pushing assembly 41 includes a horizontal push cylinder 411 and a medicine pushing plate 412. The horizontal push cylinder 411 is horizontally installed in the box body 1. The medicine pushing plate 412 is connected to the piston rod end of the horizontal push cylinder 411. When the piston rod end of the horizontal push cylinder 411 is extended outward, the medicine pushing plate 412 can move toward the medicine inlet 421 of the medicine delivery tube 42. Figure 3 As shown, when the medicine column 3 moves to the upper limit position, the pushing component 41 and the medicine inlet 421 of the medicine delivery tube 42 are respectively arranged on both sides of the medicine dispensing head 31, and the medicine pushing plate 412 can push all the tablets on the medicine dispensing head 31 into the corresponding medicine delivery tube 42 for orderly output, and each output is exactly an orderly and evenly arranged row.
[0028] In the present invention, the medicine column 3 rises and falls as a medicine discharging process, and a medicine discharging process can output a row of tablets. As the medicine discharging process continues, an intermittent and orderly medicine discharging effect can be achieved, which is achieved by the cyclic lifting and lowering movement of the medicine column 3. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the utility model is provided with a lifting drive mechanism 5 below the partition 2, and the medicine column 3 is connected to the lifting drive mechanism 5 through transmission, and the medicine column 3 is driven by the lifting drive mechanism 5 to perform continuous lifting motion.
[0029] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the lifting drive mechanism 5 includes a lifting cylinder 51 and a column base plate 52. The lifting cylinder 51 is installed upright and upward, and the column base plate 52 is connected to the piston rod end of the lifting cylinder 51. The bottom of the medicine column 3 is fixedly connected to the column base plate 52. The lifting cylinder 51 drives the lifting movement of the medicine column 3 through the column base plate 52. The bottom of the partition 2 forms a blocking effect on the column base plate 52, so that the column base plate 52 also has the function of rising limit. When the column base plate 52 contacts the bottom surface of the partition 2, the medicine column 3 reaches the rising limit position, which is just in line with the medicine discharging mechanism 4. A switch pressure plate 53 is connected to the side of the column base plate 52, and the switch pressure plate 53 can do lifting movement with the column base plate 52. The bottom surface of the partition 2 is installed There is a medicine dispensing control switch 22, which is arranged on the movement trajectory of the switch pressure plate 53. When the medicine column 3 reaches the rising limit position, the switch pressure plate 53 presses the medicine dispensing control switch 22, forming a triggering effect of the medicine dispensing control switch 22. The medicine dispensing control switch 22 can control the start of the medicine dispensing mechanism 4 in a linked manner. Specifically, the medicine dispensing control switch 22 line is connected to the horizontal push cylinder 411 of the pushing component 41, and the horizontal push cylinder 411 is turned on by a click. When the medicine column 3 reaches the rising limit position, it means that the tablets have reached the pushing position. At this time, the horizontal push cylinder 411 can be turned on by a click to complete the output operation. This is to use the effect of the rising movement of the medicine column 3 to control the medicine dispensing mechanism 4 in a linked manner.
[0030] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the partition 2 is in a bucket-shaped shape, the central area of the partition 2 is concave downward, the central area of the partition 2 is horizontal, and a slope 21 is formed around the central area of the partition 2 to ensure that the tablets are concentrated in the central area of the partition 2. The medicine column 3 is movably installed in the central area of the partition 2. After the tablets are concentrated in the central area of the partition 2, the medicine column 3 can be smoothly loaded. When the medicine column 3 is in the lower limit position, the medicine head 31 is flush with the central area of the partition 2, and the medicine head 31 of the medicine column 3 is sunk in the medicine pile 12 to facilitate smooth loading.
[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, a tablet replenishment inlet 13 is installed on the outside of the box body 1, and the tablet replenishment inlet 13 is connected to the medicine bin 11. Tablets can be replenished in the medicine bin 11 from the tablet replenishment inlet 13. The side wall of the medicine bin 11 can be made of transparent material so that workers can observe the amount of medicine in time. Figure 1 As shown, two supporting legs 14 are symmetrically installed on the outer side of the box body 1. The supporting legs 14 can be used to raise the height of the box body 1, so that the utility model can be installed on the drug appearance detection equipment.
