[0021] To make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0022] like Figure 1 and 2As shown in the figure, this embodiment discloses an intelligent self-service cabinet for easy medication dispensing, including a cabinet body 1. The cabinet body 1 is provided with several medicine storage compartments 2. The medicine storage compartments 2 can be in the form of a conveyor belt or a threaded spring-type medicine dispensing method, both of which are commonly used in self-service vending. The cabinet body 1 is divided into a left chamber 101, a middle chamber 102, and a right chamber 103 by two horizontally spaced partitions 3. A detachable left panel 4 is provided on the outside of the left chamber 101, an openable cabinet door 5 is provided on the outside of the middle chamber 102, and a detachable right panel 6 is provided on the outside of the right chamber 103. A touch screen 7 is provided on the upper part of the right panel 6. A controller is installed on the back of the right panel 6, and the controller controls the operation of all actuators. The touch screen 7 is used to transmit instructions to the controller.
[0023] The medicine storage compartment 2 is located in the middle chamber 102. The middle chamber 102 is equipped with a medicine transfer device 8, which is located outside the medicine storage compartment 2. The left end of the medicine transfer device 8 is connected to the lifting device 9, which is located in the left chamber 101. A medicine transfer port 10 is provided between the middle chamber 102 and the right chamber 103. The medicine transfer port 10 is located in the middle of the right partition 3. A medicine collection trough 11 is provided in the right chamber 103. The medicine collection trough 11 is located below the medicine transfer port 10. A medicine dispensing port 12 is provided on the right panel 6 at the position corresponding to the medicine collection trough 11. A telescopic drive component 13 is provided at the rear of the medicine collection trough 11. One end of the telescopic drive component 13 is connected to the medicine collection trough 11, and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the cabinet 1.
[0024] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The user selects the desired medicine on the touch screen 7. The touch screen 7 transmits the command to the controller. Then, the controller controls the lifting device 9 to move the medicine transfer device 8 to the preset height. The controller then controls the corresponding medicine storage compartment 2 to drop the specified medicine onto the medicine transfer device 8. Then, the lifting device 9 moves the medicine transfer device 8 to the medicine transfer port 10. The medicine transfer device 8 then transfers the selected medicine through the medicine transfer port 10 to the medicine collection tank 11. After all the medicines in the medicine collection tank 11 have been selected, the telescopic drive 13 pushes the medicine collection tank 11 to extend from the medicine dispensing port 12. Then, the user can take the medicine from the medicine collection tank 11 without bending over.
[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, the medicine transfer device 8 includes a bracket 801. The left end of the bracket 801 is connected to the lifting device 9. A medicine transfer conveyor belt 802 is provided above the bracket 801. Baffles 803 are provided at the front and rear of the bracket 801.
[0026] like Figure 3As shown, the lifting device 9 includes a vertically arranged guide rail 901. The upper and lower ends of the guide rail 901 are connected to the inner wall of the cabinet 1. A guide slider 902 is mounted on the guide rail 901. The guide slider 902 is connected to the bracket 801 via a connecting seat 903. A vertically arranged lead screw 904 is threaded onto the connecting seat 903. The upper and lower ends of the lead screw 904 are rotatably connected to the cabinet 1. A synchronous pulley is mounted on the upper end of the lead screw 904. A drive motor 905 drives the lead screw 904 to rotate via the synchronous pulley. The drive motor 905 is mounted on the inner wall of the cabinet 1 via a motor bracket.
[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the two sides of the medicine collection tank 11 are connected to the inner wall of the right chamber 103 via drawer slides 14. Shock-absorbing sponge 15 is laid at the bottom of the medicine collection tank 11 to reduce the impact when medicine falls. A lighting strip 16 is also installed on the inner wall of the medicine collection tank 11.
