[0028] To make the technical solution and advantages of this utility model clearer, the utility model will be further described below.

[0029] This utility model discloses a medicine dispensing system based on single-chip microcomputer control.

[0030] like Figure 1-2 The power module converts 220V AC to 12V DC. The power switch button controls whether the microcontroller board is powered on. When the switch button is pressed, the microcontroller board is powered on, the LED indicator lights up, and the system self-cleans for 5 seconds. During this time, the microcontroller board controls the motor to move forward pneumatically, self-cleaning the gas in the enclosed environment of the air device, ensuring all gas passes through the air filter. Then, it enters standby mode, awaiting commands. When the forward button is pressed, the microcontroller receives the command, and its output connects to the brushless motor and the air exchange solenoid valve, controlling the air pump to move. When the solenoid valve at the air inlet is open and the solenoid valve at the air outlet is closed, the pneumatic motor moves forward. Pressing the back button at this time sends a command to the microcontroller, whose output connects to the brushless motor and the air exchange solenoid valve, controlling the air pump to move. The solenoid valve at the air outlet then opens, and the solenoid valve at the air outlet closes, causing the pneumatic motor to move backward. Pressing the mode button switches the motor mode to micro-motion mode. In this mode, the pneumatic motor can only move forward; pressing the forward button moves it forward a specified distance. The speed control knob adjusts the motor's rotation speed, thus changing the pneumatic speed. After the current command is completed, the system returns to standby mode. The micro-motion mode facilitates the venting operation after extracting the liquid medicine, and the speed control knob can adapt to complex situations in actual operation.

[0031] The MP-H48S12-FT power module is selected as the system power source, converting the external 220V AC power to 12V DC power. The MP-H48S12-FT power module offers numerous advantages, such as a wide operating temperature range (from -25℃ to 60℃), high power conversion efficiency (88%), reduced electricity costs, and energy savings; and high modularity, effectively reducing equipment size and making it more portable. The power supply status of the microcontroller board is controlled via a power control button. Figure 6 The microcontroller control panel receives power input and button commands through the CN2 terminal block. The buttons are connected to pins 3, 4, 5, and 6 of CN2. Pin 3 of CN2 is grounded. Pins 4, 5, and 6 of CN2 are connected to resistors R3, R4, and R5, respectively. Resistors R3, R4, and R5 are in turn connected to pins P0.0, P1.0, and P1.1 of the microcontroller. A 5V voltage is connected to one end of resistors R3, R4, and R5 through a protective resistor. By opening and closing the buttons, the level of the control pins is adjusted, enabling the microcontroller to receive corresponding commands.

[0032] like Figure 6 Pin 1 of CN2 is connected to an external 12V power input, internally connected to fuse U3. The voltage is then stabilized by two parallel Zener diodes. The output 12V voltage serves as the input to pins 11 and 5 of CN1, and is filtered by two capacitors C1 and C2 in parallel before being input to the IN terminal of the 78M05. After passing through the 78M05, a stable 5V power supply is output, filtered by capacitor C3 in parallel, and connected to resistor R9 and LED1 to indicate the operating status of the power supply unit. The power supply unit uses the 78M05 three-terminal voltage regulator integrated circuit to provide a stable power supply to the onboard controller, preventing malfunctions caused by external voltage fluctuations. The LED indicator facilitates easy viewing of the control board's operating status, making maintenance and repair convenient.

[0033] like Figure 5 Pin 1 of the programming unit H1 is connected to a 5V power supply, pin 5 is grounded, pin 2 is connected to pin P1.6 of the microcontroller U1, pin 3 is connected to pin P0.2 of U1, and pin 4 is connected to pin P2.0. The microcontroller program can be programmed through this unit, and the microcontroller system can be modified. The control system can be adapted to different needs, and it is also convenient for future upgrades.

[0034] like Figure 5 The speed control unit uses an external speed control knob to control a speed control potentiometer, which sends commands to the microcontroller. The input of the speed control potentiometer is connected to a 5V power supply, and the output is grounded. Its two sliding terminals are connected to one end of resistor R2, and a capacitor C5 is connected in parallel for filtering. This capacitor is then connected to pin P1.7 of U1. Rotating the speed control knob changes the output voltage of the speed control potentiometer at R2, thereby changing the voltage level of pin P1.7, which is used to send commands to the microcontroller. The speed control button is integrated into the microcontroller control board, effectively reducing the size of the device. In practical use, it can be adaptively adjusted according to different personal habits and external environments, making it more adaptable to complex external environments.

[0035] like Figure 7Pins 1, 2, and 3 of CN1 are connected to the brushless motor; pins 5 and 6 of CN1 are connected to the solenoid valve. Pin 1 provides power input to the brushless motor, pin 2 is grounded, and pin 3 controls the motor speed; pins 5 and 6 provide power input to the solenoid valve. The VCC output of the power supply unit is connected to pin 5 of CN1 to provide power input to the brushless motor; the VCC output is filtered by two capacitors in parallel and then connected to pin 1 of CN1 to continuously power the motor. Pin P1.5 of the microcontroller is filtered by a capacitor in parallel and then connected to resistor R12. The other end of R12 is connected to the base of transistor Q3, and the collector of Q3 is connected to pin 6 of CN1. The microcontroller controls the output voltage of pin P1.5 to control the collector output of transistor Q3, thereby controlling the solenoid valve. Pin P1.4 of the microcontroller is connected to the base of transistor Q2 through resistor R11. The emitter of Q2 is grounded, and the collector is connected to pin 3 of CN1, controlling the motor speed in the same way. By directly controlling the motor and solenoid valves with a microcontroller, the number of solenoid valves is reduced, the system complexity is lowered, the system stability is effectively improved, and mechanical delay is reduced. Due to the high integration of the microcontroller, the weight and size of the equipment can be effectively reduced, making it more portable and adaptable to more complex situations in actual use.

[0036] like Figure 3 The brushless motor and air pump together form the air pump module. The air pump's outlet and inlet are connected to the air filter and air appliance respectively via solenoid valves. The air filter uses an SFE model breathing filter, which utilizes a self-cleaning mode upon startup to purify the air in the air path and air appliance, ensuring that the cleanliness inside the equipment meets medical standards.
