[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0030] Conversely, this utility model encompasses any substitutions, modifications, equivalent methods, and solutions made within the spirit and scope of this utility model as defined in the claims. Furthermore, to provide the public with a better understanding of this utility model, certain specific details are described in detail in the following description. However, those skilled in the art will fully understand this utility model even without these detailed descriptions.
[0031] like Figures 1 to 7 The present invention discloses a drug sorting and classification device for sorting drugs. The drugs are placed on a conveyor belt and have QR codes or barcodes. After the drug information is identified, the sorting device 3 transfers the drugs to the corresponding positions.
[0032] like Figure 1-2 As shown, in order to achieve the above functions, this utility model mainly includes a drug sorting and receiving device, including: a feeding structure 1, a sorting and conveying device 2, a sorting device 3, and a transparent acrylic protective cover 4.
[0033] The feeding structure 1 includes a feeding support 11 and a feeding conveying device 12. The feeding support 11 is equipped with a receiving device 13 at its discharge end. The feeding conveying device 12 and the receiving device 13 are used to convey medicines. The feeding conveying device 12 is mainly used to lift the medicines to a suitable height, and then transfer the medicines to the sorting conveying device 2 and the sorting device 3 through the receiving device 13.
[0034] Specific examples Figure 3 As shown, the feeding conveyor device 12 includes a feeding conveyor motor 121 and a feeding ramp conveyor belt 122, and a plurality of baffles 123 are arranged sequentially at equal intervals on the feeding ramp conveyor belt 122.
[0035] Because the memory contains multiple layers of medicine, and the medicine falls from a high position into the feeding structure 1 from each storage layer, the height of the feeding end 1221 of the feeding structure 1 is set very low.
[0036] The feeding ramp conveyor belt 122 includes a feeding end 1221 and a discharging end 1222. The height of the discharging end 1222 is higher than the height of the feeding end 1211. The receiving device 13 includes a receiving motor 131 and a receiving conveyor belt 132. The height of the receiving conveyor belt 132 is lower than the height of the discharging end 1222.
[0037] The receiving conveyor belt 132 is located below the discharge end 1222, allowing the medicine to fall onto the receiving conveyor belt 132 by gravity.
[0038] like Figures 2-4As shown, the sorting and conveying device 2 of this utility model is set on one side of the receiving device 13, including a sorting bracket 21 and a sorting conveyor belt 22; the sorting conveyor belt 22 is a general conveyor belt, which can be extended arbitrarily, and the medicines are conveyed sequentially on the sorting conveyor belt 22.
[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, in order to identify the type of medicine, each sorting device 3 also includes two QR code recognition sensors 33, which are respectively set on both sides of the sorting conveyor belt 22.
[0040] The medicines are identified by QR code recognition sensors 33 set on both sides, and then the corresponding sorting device 3 is controlled to sort them. In order to increase the variety of sorting or improve sorting efficiency, this utility model is provided with 4 sorting devices 3, which are arranged sequentially on the sorting conveyor device 2. The number of sorting devices 3 can be increased according to the type of medicine and efficiency requirements, simply by extending the length of the sorting conveyor belt 22.
[0041] like Figures 4-7 As shown, the sorting device 3 of this utility model includes a sorting operator 31 and a sorting operating table 32. The sorting operator 31 transfers the corresponding medicines from the sorting conveyor belt 22 to the sorting operating table 32. The sorting operating table 32 can be equipped with workstations for workers to arrange the medicines, or it can be equipped with storage boxes to store the medicines that are pushed in.
[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, in order to prevent medicines from falling off the conveyor belt and to allow for observation of the internal condition of the medicines to prevent jamming, transparent acrylic protective covers 4 are installed on the feeding ramp conveyor belt 122, the receiving conveyor belt 132, and the sorting conveyor belt 22.
[0043] like Figures 5-6 As shown, the sorting operator 31 of this utility model includes an operating bracket 34 and a sorting plate 35. The operating bracket 34 is fixed on the front side of the sorting operating table 32 and is used to install the operating equipment.
[0044] The operating bracket 34 is provided with a sorting slide rail 341 and a sorting slider 342. The sorting plate 35 is fixed on the sorting slider 342. The sorting slider 342 is also connected to a driving device 36. The driving device 36 causes the sorting slider 342 to move back and forth along the sorting slide rail 341.
[0045] The sorting plate 35 is controlled to move back and forth by sliding to pick up the required medicines. The overall structure is simple and the cost is low. Using multiple plates can improve efficiency.
[0046] Limit blocks 343 are provided at both ends of the sorting slide rail 341. The two limit blocks 343 are used to limit the position of the sorting plate 35 moving back and forth.
[0047] For direct and precise control, the drive device 36 includes a drive motor 361, which is a servo motor. A drive wheel 362 is provided on the drive motor 361, and a driven wheel 363 is provided on the operating bracket 34. A synchronous belt 364 is provided between the drive wheel 362 and the driven wheel 363. The sorting slider 342 is fixed on the synchronous belt 364 through a connecting plate 365.
[0048] The reciprocating movement of the synchronous belt 364 drives the connecting plate 365 to move, causing the sorting slider 342 to move back and forth along the sorting slide rail 341. The sorting slider then synchronously drives the sorting plate 35 to move, so that the sorting plate 35 picks up medicines according to the needs.
[0049] In order to pick up medicines, the sorting plate 35 includes a medicine blocking plate 351 and a medicine pushing plate 352. The medicine blocking plate 351 is used to block the medicine after the QR code recognition sensor 33 recognizes the medicine, and the medicine pushing plate 352 is used to push the blocked medicine onto the sorting operation table 32.
[0050] like Figure 6 As shown, specifically, the medicine baffle 351 is set perpendicular to the sorting conveyor belt 22, and the medicine pusher 352 is vertically connected to one side of the medicine baffle 351, that is, the medicine pusher 352 and the conveying direction of the sorting conveyor belt 22 are kept parallel.
[0051] The working principle involves sequentially transporting medicines via the feeding ramp conveyor belt 122, the receiving conveyor belt 132, and the sorting conveyor belt 22. When the QR code recognition sensor 33 does not detect the corresponding medicine information, the sorting plate 35 is retracted. Once the QR code recognition sensor 33 detects the required medicine, it sends a command to the control system. The control system then controls the drive motor 361 to rotate, moving the sorting plate 35 to the sorting conveyor belt 22. The medicine is blocked by the medicine-blocking plate 351. The drive motor 361 then rotates in the opposite direction, pushing the blocked medicine onto the sorting operating table 32 via the medicine-pushing plate 352. Each sorting device 3 can perform the above operations, achieving accurate and efficient classification of medicines.
[0052] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. For those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the present utility model, and these should also be considered to fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
