[0019] Reference Figure 1A medicine retrieving mechanism with a checking function comprises a mobile module placed in a medicine box, a retrieving mechanism 2 driven by the mobile module, and a checking mechanism 3 provided on the retrieving mechanism;

[0020] A rotatable medicine checking platform 31 is provided at the front end of the checking mechanism 3, a medicine box checking unit 32 is provided on the material taking mechanism 3 and placed above the medicine checking platform 31, and a bottled medicine checking unit 33 is provided at the end of the material taking mechanism;

[0021] The medicine box drug verification unit 32 includes a medicine box drug verification mounting bracket 321 placed on the material picking mechanism 3, and a medicine box drug visual verification camera 322 arranged on the medicine box drug verification mounting bracket. The medicine box drug visual verification camera 322 is arranged directly above the medicine verification platform 31; the medicine box drug visual verification camera 322 collects and verifies information on the upper surface of the medicine box on the platform;

[0022] The bottled medicine verification unit 33 includes a bottle mounting seat 331 provided on the material taking mechanism 2, and a bottled medicine verification camera 332 mounted on the bottle mounting seat 331 via a fixing member; the bottled medicine verification camera 332 is placed above and to the side of the medicine verification platform 31, so that the bottled medicine verification camera 332 can visually inspect the side of the medicine on the platform, and the angle of the bottle can be adjusted by rotating the medicine verification platform 31 to cooperate with the bottled medicine verification camera 332 to collect information and verify the contents in the warehouse;

[0023] refer to Figure 2 、 3 To facilitate the rotation of the drug verification platform 31, it is connected to a drive motor 1. To conserve space, a coupling is attached to the bottom of the platform 31, with an auxiliary roller 12 positioned adjacent to the coupling. A belt stopper 13 is also provided within the retrieving mechanism 2. The retrieving mechanism 2 also houses a drive motor 1, which is wound around the coupling at the bottom of the drug verification platform 31 via a belt 14, cooperating with the auxiliary rollers to improve space utilization. The specific drive structure for the drug verification platform 31 is not limited and can be arranged based on the actual space available; it only needs to be able to achieve controlled rotation.

[0024] In this embodiment, after receiving the information, the automatic material picking box drives the mobile module, driving the material picking mechanism to move to the corresponding displacement of the medicine, and the material picking mechanism picks up the medicine and places it on the medicine verification platform 31. If it is a medicine box, the medicine box and medicine visual verification camera 322 collects and verifies the information on the upper surface of the medicine box on the platform; if the information is correct, the medicine is discharged; if it is a bottle, the bottled medicine verification camera 332 visually inspects the side of the medicine on the platform, and at the same time adjusts the angle of the bottle body by rotating the medicine verification platform 31 to cooperate with the bottled medicine verification camera 332 to collect information and verify the contents in the warehouse. If the information is correct, the medicine is discharged. If the information is inconsistent, it is moved to the recycling box and the medicine is taken again;
