[0062] The working process of this utility model is described below:
[0063] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the medication storage operation is as follows: Press the medication storage button 9, and the recognition camera 7 will identify whether the operator is the person whose information has been entered. If yes, continue with the following operation; otherwise, the corresponding prompt information will be displayed on the touch display 8.
[0064] The operator places the medical order information in front of the recognition camera 7. The recognition camera 7 reads the medical order information by taking a picture and displays the medical order information on the touch screen 8. At the same time, the medical order information is read out through the speaker 111 for the elderly to confirm. The elderly can manually click on the touch screen 8 to confirm and modify, or they can confirm and modify by voice through the microphone 112.
[0065] After the camera 7 correctly identifies the medical order information, it transmits the information to the control circuit board. At the same time, the control circuit board outputs a signal to make the indicator light 43 corresponding to the empty medicine storage space in the medicine storage box 41 flash, prompting the elderly to put the medicine package into the designated medicine storage box 41 space. After the medicine is put in, the medicine storage baffle 42 rotates under its own weight, closing the opening on the side wall of the main box 11 of the medicine storage box 41, thus completing the medicine storage.
[0066] The medication dispensing procedure is as follows: During the medication period specified in the doctor's order, press the medication dispensing button 9. The control circuit board controls the medication gripping mechanism 2 to move within the main box 11, so that the gripper of the multi-joint micro-manipulator 23 is aligned with the corresponding medication storage box 41 storage space. The medication package required in the doctor's order is taken out and moved above the medication receiving part 13. At the same time, the side of the medication package with aluminum foil is placed downwards on the medication placement table 131, and the tablet or capsule to be pressed out is placed above the dispensing funnel 132.
[0067] Next, the control circuit board controls the rotation of the medicine pressing drive motor 33, and through the meshing transmission of the medicine pressing gear 32 and the medicine pressing rack 31, as well as the sliding of the medicine pressing slider 35 and the medicine pressing slide rail 34, the medicine pressing column 36 is aligned with the tablet or capsule to be pressed out and moves downward until the tablet or capsule is pressed out of the medicine packaging and enters the medicine dispensing funnel 132. The user only needs to place a container under the medicine dispensing funnel 132 to obtain the medicine.
[0068] When a pill or capsule is removed from a medicine package, the control circuit board records the number of pills or capsules removed and compares it with the maximum number of pills or capsules stored in the medicine package. When the control circuit board determines that all the pills or capsules in the medicine package have been removed, the multi-joint micro-manipulator 23 moves the discarded medicine package to the waste medicine package discharge box 51. At the same time, the corresponding prompt information is displayed on the touch display 8, and the voice prompt information is played through the speaker 111 to remind the elderly to take the discarded medicine package out of the waste medicine package discharge box 51.
