Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage rack technology, and in particular to an automatic drug sorting storage rack. Background Technology

[0002] Automated drug sorting racks are intelligent warehousing equipment used in pharmacies, pharmaceutical warehouses, and other similar locations. In the current pharmaceutical packaging field, drugs are typically collected in bottles, effectively blocking external factors such as moisture, light, and oxygen from adversely affecting the drug components, thus ensuring that the drugs maintain their intended efficacy and quality within their specified shelf life.

[0003] Currently, drug storage shelves are usually fixed by welding, which ensures good stability during long-term use. Fixed-height shelves make space planning and inventory management easier, and staff can quickly locate the storage location of commonly used oral or topical medications based on experience, improving work efficiency.

[0004] With the diversification of drug packaging, fixed-height storage shelves cannot flexibly adapt to the storage needs of drugs of different heights. For drugs with shorter heights, the remaining space in the storage shelf is wasted. For drugs with longer heights, they cannot be placed normally in the standard-height storage shelf. If they are forced to be placed, the infusion bottle will be partially exposed, increasing the risk of damage. More horizontal space is needed to store these tall drugs separately, thereby reducing the overall space utilization of the shelf. Therefore, an automated drug sorting storage shelf is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0035] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 An embodiment of this utility model provides an automatic drug sorting storage shelf, including a base 1 and a connecting plate 11. Lifting components are fixedly connected to the top of both ends of the base 1. Multiple top plates 9 are provided on the top of the base 1. Multiple height adjustment components are provided on the inner side of each top plate 9. Left and right moving components are provided on the side of the connecting plate 11. Forward and backward moving components are provided on the inner side of the connecting plate 11.

[0037] The height adjustment assembly includes a housing 10, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the inner side of the top plate 9. A toothed block plate 23 is slidably connected to the inner side of the housing 10. A fixed rod 26 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the housing 10. A worm gear 27 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the fixed rod 26. A gear 28 is also fixedly connected to the outer side of the fixed rod 26. The gear 28 is meshed with the outer side of the toothed block plate 23. A worm 25 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the housing 10. The worm gear 27 is meshed with the side of the worm 25.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The lifting assembly includes a support rod 4, which is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1. A drive motor 5 is fixedly connected to the outer side of one end of the support rod 4. Pulleys 14 are rotatably connected to the inner sides of both ends of the support rod 4. Belts 13 are fitted inside the inner sides of both pulleys 14. The output end of the drive motor 5 is fixedly connected to the inner side of one of the pulleys 14. The end of the connecting plate 11 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the belt 13. The drive motor 5 rotates, causing the connected pulleys 14 to rotate. Since the two pulleys 14 are connected by belts 13 and the end of the connecting plate 11 is fixed to the outer side of belt 13, the connecting plate 11 will rise or fall along the support rod 4, precisely adjusting to the corresponding height position according to the height layer of the target bottled medicine. The left-right movement component includes a second drive motor 19, which is fixedly connected to the outer end of the connecting plate 11. Two pulleys 16 are rotatably connected to the outer ends of both ends of the connecting plate 11. A belt 12 is fitted inside each of the two pulleys 16, and a slider 20 is fixedly connected to the outer side of each belt 12. The bottom end of the slider 20 is slidably connected to the inner side of the connecting plate 11. When the second drive motor 19 operates, it drives the pulleys 16 to rotate, causing the belt 12 on the pulleys 16 to move the slider 20 left and right within the connecting plate 11, thereby moving the front-back movement component and the gripping component 18 to the left-right position where the target bottled medicine is located.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The forward and backward moving assembly includes a housing 15. The outer end of the housing 15 is slidably connected to the inner side of the connecting plate 11, and the outer end of the housing 15 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the slider 20. A drive motor 22 is fixedly connected to the outer top of the housing 15. Two gears 21 are rotatably connected to the inner side of the housing 15. The output end of the drive motor 22 is fixedly connected to the inner side of one of the gears 21. Toothed plates 17 are slidably connected to the inner sides of both ends of the housing 15, and the two gears 21 are meshed with the inner sides of the two toothed plates 17. When the drive motor 22 rotates, it drives the connected gears 21 to rotate. Because the two gears 21 mesh with each other and with the toothed plates 17, and the toothed plates 17 are slidably connected to the inner side of the slider 20, the toothed plates 17 will move back and forth inside the slider 20, thereby moving the gripping assembly 18 back and forth to the front of the target bottled medicine. Both toothed plates 17 are slidably connected to the inner side of the slider 20, and gripping assemblies 18 are fixedly connected to the inner sides of the ends of the two toothed plates 17. When the drive motor 22 rotates, it drives the gear 21 connected to it to rotate. Because the two gears 21 mesh with each other and with the toothed plates 17, and the toothed plates 17 are slidably connected to the inner side of the slider 20, the toothed plates 17 will move back and forth inside the slider 20, thereby driving the gripping assembly 18 to move back and forth to the front of the target bottled medicine.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 6 Multiple top plates 9 are each fixedly connected to a placement box 6, and a cover plate 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the placement box 6. Multiple positioning rings 8 are fixedly connected to the top of the cover plate 7. Bottled medicines are placed orderly in the placement boxes 6 on the top plates 9. The cover plate 7 and positioning rings 8 of the placement box 6 effectively fix and position the bottled medicines, preventing displacement. Multiple casters 3 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the base 1 for moving the entire unit. A collection box 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1 for placing medicine bottles removed from the shelf. A hand crank 24 is rotatably connected to the inside of the outer casing 10, and the end of the hand crank 24 is fixedly connected to the end of the worm gear 25. By rotating the hand crank 24, the toothed block plate 23 is moved up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the placement box 6 to accommodate the storage needs of different sized bottled medicines.

[0041] Working principle: First, the bottled medicine is placed in the placement box 6. The cover plate 7 and positioning ring 8 on the top of the placement box 6 help to fix and position the bottled medicine, preventing it from shaking or falling during shelf movement or operation.

[0042] When a bottle of medicine needs to be sorted, the system controls the lifting assembly according to instructions. Drive motor 5 rotates, driving pulley 14 connected to it to rotate. Since the two pulleys 14 are connected by belt 13, and the end of the connecting plate 11 is fixed to the outside of belt 13, the connecting plate 11 will rise or fall along the support rod 4, precisely adjusting to the corresponding height position according to the height layer of the target bottle of medicine. Then, the left-right moving assembly begins operation. Drive motor 19 operates, driving pulley 16 to rotate, causing belt 12 on pulley 16 to drive slider 20 to slide left and right on the inside of the connecting plate 11, thereby moving the front-back moving assembly and gripping assembly 18 to the left and right positions of the target bottle of medicine. Next, the front-back moving assembly starts. The drive motor 22 rotates, which drives the gear 21 connected to it to rotate. Since the two gears 21 mesh with each other and mesh with the toothed plate 17, and the toothed plate 17 is slidably connected to the inside of the slider 20, the toothed plate 17 will move back and forth inside the slider 20, thereby driving the gripping assembly 18 to move back and forth to the front of the target bottled medicine.

[0043] Then, the gripping component 18 grabs the target bottled medicine and, with the assistance of the lifting component, the left and right moving component and the front and back moving component, moves the bottled medicine into the collection box 2, making it convenient for personnel to take the bottled medicine.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
