[0034] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application more clear, the embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0035] Reference Figures 1 to 4This application provides a dispensing machine 100, which includes a machine body 200, a material handling component 300, a material discharging component 400, a conveyor belt (not shown in the figure) and a transfer component 500.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the device body 200 has a first medicine storage area 201 and a second medicine storage area 202 arranged side by side. The first medicine storage area 201 includes a plurality of first medicine storage sections 210 for storing irregularly shaped medicine boxes. For example, the first medicine storage area 201 on the device body 200 has multiple rows of first medicine storage sections 210, and each row has multiple spaced-apart first medicine storage sections 210. It is understood that irregularly shaped medicine boxes are medicine boxes with irregular shapes, such as star-shaped, heart-shaped, fish-shaped, flower-shaped, etc.

[0037] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first drug storage section 210 is a groove-shaped structure that extends obliquely downward (i.e., in the third direction M).

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the aforementioned second medicine storage area 202 includes multiple second medicine storage sections 220, which are used to store regularly shaped medicine boxes. Similarly, the second medicine storage area 202 on the body 200 is arranged with multiple rows of second medicine storage sections 220, and each row has multiple spaced-apart second medicine storage sections 220. It can be understood that regularly shaped medicine boxes are common rectangular, circular, or other similar shapes.

[0039] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the second drug storage section 220 also extends obliquely downward (i.e., in the third direction M). The second drug storage section 220 includes an outlet 221.

[0040] In addition, such as Figure 1 As shown, the body 200 also includes a medicine outlet 230, which is located on both sides of the body 200 in the first direction X, allowing the user to collect medicine taken from the first medicine storage section 210 and the second medicine storage section 220.

[0041] It is understandable that the first drug storage area 201 and the second drug storage area 202 of the fuselage 200 should be located in a relatively enclosed internal space. Figure 1 and Figure 2 For the purpose of showing the first drug storage area 201 and the second drug storage area 202 inside, the outer shell portion is not shown.

[0042] The aforementioned material-grabbing component 300 is used to pick up irregularly shaped medicine boxes from the first medicine storage section 210. Specifically, as... Figure 3As shown, the taking component 300 includes a taking member 310 for moving in the height direction Z and the first direction X, and a pushing rod (not shown) for pushing the irregularly shaped medicine box into the taking member 310. The first direction X is exemplarily a horizontal direction. The taking member 310 is substantially a groove extending downwardly (i.e. the third direction M).

[0043] As shown, the taking member 310 moves in the height direction Z and the first direction X to correspond to the position of the irregularly shaped medicine box to be taken, i.e. the taking member 310 corresponds to one of the first medicine storage portions 210 in the height direction Z and the first direction X, and the pushing rod can push the irregularly shaped medicine box into the taking member 310.

[0044] As shown, the taking member 310 moves in the height direction Z and the first direction X to correspond to the position of the irregularly shaped medicine box to be taken, i.e. the taking member 310 corresponds to one of the first medicine storage portions 210 in the height direction Z and the first direction X, and the pushing rod can push the irregularly shaped medicine box into the taking member 310. Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the taking member 310 moves in the height direction Z and the first direction X to correspond to the position of the irregularly shaped medicine box to be taken, i.e. the taking member 310 corresponds to one of the first medicine storage portions 210 in the height direction Z and the first direction X, and the pushing rod can push the irregularly shaped medicine box into the taking member 310.

[0045] As shown, the taking member 310 moves in the height direction Z and the first direction X to correspond to the position of the irregularly shaped medicine box to be taken, i.e. the taking member 310 corresponds to one of the first medicine storage portions 210 in the height direction Z and the first direction X, and the pushing rod can push the irregularly shaped medicine box into the taking member 310. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the taking member 310 moves in the height direction Z and the first direction X to correspond to the position of the irregularly shaped medicine box to be taken, i.e. the taking member 310 corresponds to one of the first medicine storage portions 210 in the height direction Z and the first direction X, and the pushing rod can push the irregularly shaped medicine box into the taking member 310. Figure 2 As shown, the taking member 310 moves in the height direction Z and the first direction X to correspond to the position of the irregularly shaped medicine box to be taken, i.e. the taking member 310 corresponds to one of the first medicine storage portions 210 in the height direction Z and the first direction X, and the pushing rod can push the irregularly shaped medicine box into the taking member 310.

[0046] In the embodiment, the irregularly shaped medicine boxes on the first medicine storage part 210 can be taken out of the first medicine storage part 210 by the taking member 310 and fall on the conveying belt. Similarly, the regularly shaped medicine boxes in the second medicine storage part 220 can also slide from the second medicine storage part 220 to the conveying belt when the rotating frame 410 rotates to open the outlet 221 thereof, so as to be transported to the transfer assembly 500 by the conveying belt, and then be transported to the medicine outlet 230 by the transfer assembly 500.

[0047] The transfer assembly 500 is located at both ends of the conveying belt for receiving the regularly shaped medicine boxes and the irregularly shaped medicine boxes on the conveying belt. It can be understood that the position of the transfer assembly 500 depends on the position of the medicine outlet 230. In the embodiment, both sides of the machine body 200 have the medicine outlet 230, so that both ends of the conveying belt correspond to the positions of the two medicine outlets 230, and the two medicine outlets 230 correspond to the two transfer assemblies 500. However, it can be understood by those skilled in the art that in other embodiments, for example, only one medicine outlet 230 is provided, which can be correspondingly provided at one end of the conveying belt, and only one transfer assembly 500 is provided.

[0048] It should be noted that the conveying belt and the transfer assembly 500 in the embodiment have the function of transporting the above-mentioned regularly shaped medicine boxes and irregularly shaped medicine boxes. However, it can be understood that the transportation of the regularly shaped medicine boxes and the irregularly shaped medicine boxes is not necessarily performed synchronously, that is, the conveying belt and the transfer assembly 500 can simultaneously transport the above-mentioned regularly shaped medicine boxes and irregularly shaped medicine boxes, but can also be separately transported. For example, the user only needs one of the above-mentioned two kinds of medicine boxes, at which time the conveying belt and the transfer assembly 500 only undertake the transportation of the medicine boxes.

[0049] Reference Figures 1 to 4 By adopting the above technical scheme, the taking member 310 can move along the height direction Z and the first direction X according to the specific position of the irregularly shaped medicine box to be taken, that is, the specific first medicine storage part 210, so as to push the irregularly shaped medicine box into the taking member 310 by the extension of the prong, and then the irregularly shaped medicine box in the taking member 310 can fall on the conveying belt, which is then transported to the transfer assembly 500 by the conveying belt. Similarly, when the regularly shaped medicine box needs to be taken, the rotating frame 410 can be rotated to open the outlet 221 of the second medicine storage part 220, so that the regularly shaped medicine box slides out of the outlet 221 and falls on the conveying belt, which is also transported to the transfer assembly 500 by the conveying belt, and then transported to the medicine outlet 230 by the transfer assembly 500.

[0050] In summary, the present application sets the taking component 300 and the discharging component 400 in the medicine dispensing machine 100, so that the taking component 300 and the discharging component 400 respectively take the irregularly shaped medicine boxes and the regularly shaped medicine boxes, and the conveyor belt and the transferring component 500 send the two kinds of medicine boxes to the medicine outlet 230, so that the taking of the irregularly shaped medicine boxes and the regularly shaped medicine boxes can be realized in the medicine dispensing machine 100.

[0051] In some possible implementation manners, as shown in Figure 3 The taking component 310 includes a trough 311, and the trough 311 includes an inlet 312 and an outlet 313. The inlet 312 is used for the irregularly shaped medicine boxes on the first medicine storage part 210 to enter the trough 311, and the outlet 313 is arranged opposite to the conveyor belt in the height direction Z. Exemplarily, the outlet 313 is arranged opposite to the conveyor belt in the height direction Z, and the trough 311 extends downward (i.e. in the third direction M) obliquely, so that the irregularly shaped medicine boxes can slide out of the outlet 313 and fall on the conveyor belt in the state that the outlet 313 is opened, so as to be transported to the transferring component 500 by the conveyor belt.

[0052] In some possible implementation manners, as shown in Figure 3 The taking component 310 further includes a barrier plate 314, and the barrier plate 314 is rotationally connected with the trough 311. The barrier plate 314 is arranged at the outlet 313, and is used for opening or closing the outlet 313. Exemplarily, the barrier plate 314 is rotationally connected with the trough 311 through a hinge.

[0053] The barrier plate 314 is arranged at the outlet 313, so as to block the irregularly shaped medicine boxes at the outlet 313, so that the conveyor belt below is prepared (e.g. the conveying direction is adjusted), and then the barrier plate 314 is opened, so that the irregularly shaped medicine boxes slide down to the conveyor belt.

[0054] In the embodiment, a sensor (not shown in the figure) is further arranged on the side wall of the trough 311, so as to check whether there is an irregularly shaped medicine box in the trough 311, so as to control whether the barrier plate 314 is opened or not.

[0055] In some possible implementation manners, as shown in Figure 3 The taking component 310 further includes a connecting plate 315, and the connecting plate 315 is arranged on the bottom wall of the trough 311 and is movably connected with the trough 311 in the third direction M. The connecting plate 315 includes a convex part 316, and the connecting plate 315 is used for moving in the third direction M, so that the convex part 316 extends into the bottom of the irregularly shaped medicine box.

[0056] It can be understood that, in order to limit the irregularly-shaped medicine boxes, a plurality of baffle plates 211 are arranged on the first medicine storage part 210 at intervals to prevent the irregularly-shaped medicine boxes from sliding off the first medicine storage part 210. In this embodiment, the taking component 310 moves up and down (i.e. in the height direction Z) and left and right (i.e. in the first direction X) as a whole, so as to correspond to the position of the irregularly-shaped medicine box to be taken in the height direction Z and the first direction X. Then the connecting plate 315 is driven to extend along the third direction M towards the irregularly-shaped medicine box, and the protruding part 316 of the connecting plate 315 extends into the first medicine storage part 210 between the adjacent two baffle plates 211 and into the bottom of the irregularly-shaped medicine box. Then the taking component 310 can be driven to move upwards to above the baffle plate 211. At this time, the baffle plate 211 cannot block the irregularly-shaped medicine box, so the irregularly-shaped medicine box can be pushed into the trough 311 of the taking component 310 by the push rod, and finally slide off the discharge port 313 to the conveying belt.

[0057] Exemplarily, the movement of the connecting plate 315 along the third direction M can be driven by a motor, a pneumatic cylinder or the like, which is not limited in the present application.

[0058] In some possible implementation manners, as shown in Figure 3 The taking assembly 300 further includes a main shaft 320 extending along the height direction Z. The main shaft 320 is movably connected to the machine body 200 along the first direction X. The taking component 310 is arranged on each side of the main shaft 320 along the first direction X, and the taking component 310 is movably connected to the main shaft 320 along the height direction Z. That is, the movement of the taking component 310 along the first direction X is realized by the movement of the main shaft 320 relative to the machine body 200.

[0059] Exemplarily, the taking component 310 is arranged on each side of the main shaft 320 along the first direction X, so as to facilitate taking the irregularly-shaped medicine box near the edge on each side of the machine body 200.

[0060] In some possible implementation manners, a push rod (not shown in the figure) is connected to the main shaft 320, and the push rod is used to push the irregularly-shaped medicine box into the trough 311 along the third direction M. Exemplarily, the push rod is driven by a pneumatic cylinder to extend and push the irregularly-shaped medicine box into the trough 311.

[0061] In some possible implementation manners, as shown in Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The discharge assembly 400 further includes a push-pull magnet 420, a connecting seat 430 and a containing groove 440. The push-pull magnet 420 is used to move along the third direction M.

[0062] One end of the connector 430 is connected to the push-pull magnet 420, that is, when the push-pull magnet 420 moves along the third direction M, it can drive the connector 430 to move along the third direction M as well.

[0063] In this embodiment, a connector 450 is provided between the rotating frame 410 and the connecting seat 430. The connector 450 and the connecting seat 430 are rotatably connected by a first rotating shaft (not shown in the figure). The first rotating shaft extends along a first direction X and passes through the connector 450 and the connecting seat 430. That is, the connector 450 can rotate relative to the connecting seat 430 around the first direction X.

[0064] The rotating frame 410 and the connecting seat 430 are rotatably connected by the connecting member 450.

[0065] The receiving groove 440 is located below the second drug storage section 220. The push-pull magnet 420 and the connecting seat 430 are located inside the receiving groove 440. The rotating frame 410 is rotatably connected to the groove wall of the receiving groove 440. In this embodiment, the second rotating shaft 441 passes through the connector 450, the rotating frame 410, and the groove wall of the receiving groove 440. The second rotating shaft 441 extends along the first direction X, that is, the second rotating shaft 441 simultaneously realizes the rotatable connection between the connector 450 and the rotating frame 410, as well as the rotatable connection between the rotating frame 410 and the receiving groove 440.

[0066] For example, the groove wall of the receiving groove 440 is provided with an arc-shaped hole 442, and the second rotating shaft 441 passes through the arc-shaped hole 442 and can rotate within the arc-shaped hole 442.

[0067] For example, the push-pull magnet 420 drives the connecting seat 430 to move in the third direction M. The rotating frame 410 is pushed by the connecting seat 430 and tends to move in the third direction M. However, since the rotating frame 410 is rotatably connected to the wall of the receiving groove 440, the rotating frame 410 rotates relative to the receiving groove 440, that is, it rotates relative to the second medicine storage part 220.

[0068] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the rotating frame 410 is generally U-shaped, and includes a first blocking part 411 and a second blocking part 412 located on both sides of the second rotating shaft 441. As the rotating frame 410 rotates, the first blocking part 411 and the second blocking part 412 can be raised and lowered. For example, if the first blocking part 411 is raised, it can block the outlet 221 of the second medicine storage part 220. At this time, the second blocking part 412 is lowered. Conversely, if the first blocking part 411 is lowered, it can open the outlet 221 of the second medicine storage part 220. At this time, the second blocking part 412 is raised.

[0069] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 andFigure 6 As shown, the bottom of the second medicine storage part 220 is provided with a first hole 222 and a second hole 223, both of which are communicated with the accommodating groove 440. The first hole 222 is arranged at the outlet 221 of the second medicine storage part 220, and the interval between the first hole 222 and the second hole 223 is used to accommodate a regular-shaped medicine box.

[0070] The first blocking part 411 of the rotating frame 410 corresponds to the first hole 222, and the second blocking part 412 corresponds to the second hole 223. The rotating frame 410 rotates relative to the accommodating groove 440 under the driving force from the push-pull magnet 420 to switch between the first position state (i.e. the lifting state described above) and the second position state (i.e. the falling state described above).

[0071] In the first position state (i.e. the lifting state described above), Figure 4 As shown, the second blocking part 412 is below the second hole 223, and the first blocking part 411 extends into the second medicine storage part 220 from the first hole 222 to block the outlet 221 of the second medicine storage part 220. That is, the first blocking part 411 at this time limits the regular-shaped medicine box in the second medicine storage part 220 to avoid it from sliding out of the second medicine storage part 220.

[0072] In the second position state, the first blocking part 411 is below the first hole 222 to open the outlet 221 for the regular-shaped medicine box to slide out, and the second blocking part 412 extends into the second medicine storage part 220 from the second hole 223 to block the regular-shaped medicine box behind the second hole 223 from also sliding out of the outlet 221.

[0073] It can be understood that after the regular-shaped medicine box between the first hole 222 and the second hole 223 slides out, the rotating frame 410 rotates to switch from the second position state to the first position state, and the second blocking part 412 is below the second hole 223, so that the regular-shaped medicine box originally behind the second blocking part 412 slides to the position between the first hole 222 and the second hole 223, and the first blocking part 411 extends into the second medicine storage part 220 from the first hole 222 to continue to limit the regular-shaped medicine box for the next time of taking medicine.

[0074] Exemplarily, the accommodating groove 440 is also provided with a sensor 460, which is used to detect whether the rotating frame 410 rotates to make the regular-shaped medicine box slide down.

[0075] As Figure 2As shown, in some possible embodiments, the side of the conveying belt away from the second medicine storage part 220 is provided with an inclined plate 240, which is arranged at an obtuse angle with the conveying belt, for sliding the regular-shaped medicine boxes onto the conveying belt. For example, since the second medicine storage part 220 extends along the third direction M, the regular-shaped medicine boxes will not fall vertically when sliding down from the second medicine storage part 220, but will fall onto the inclined plate 240, and then slide from the inclined plate 240 to the conveying belt.

[0076] In some possible embodiments, the transfer assembly 500 comprises a hopper 600 and a lifting machine 700. The hopper 600 is arranged at both ends of the conveying belt, for receiving the medicine boxes from the conveying belt.

[0077] The lifting machine 700 is connected with the hopper 600, and is used to drive the hopper 600 to move along the height direction Z to the medicine outlet 230. The hopper 600 is configured to be able to overturn, so as to pour the regular-shaped medicine boxes and the irregular-shaped medicine boxes in the hopper 600 to the medicine outlet 230. It can be understood that, in order to facilitate the user to take the medicine boxes from the medicine outlet 230, the medicine outlet 230 has a set height, so the lifting machine 700 can drive the hopper 600 to move upward to the height of the medicine outlet 230, and then drive the hopper 600 to overturn, so as to pour the medicine boxes in the hopper 600 into the medicine outlet 230 for the user to collect.

[0078] Although the present application has been illustrated and described with reference to certain preferred embodiments thereof, it should be understood that the above description is a further illustration of the present application in connection with the specific embodiments, and is not intended to limit the present application to the specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various changes in form and details without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, including making a number of simple deductions or substitutions, and the present application is therefore not limited to the above description.
