Traditional manual dispensing methods suffer from low efficiency, error-proneness, and high labor costs. Automated dispensing machines can significantly improve dispensing efficiency and accuracy. The medication basket is a key component; currently, most medication baskets use a square frame structure. This structure lacks an automatic dispensing function, requiring staff to manually reach into the basket to retrieve the medication after it has been delivered, thus reducing work efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application aims to at least partially address one of the aforementioned technical problems in the prior art. To this end, embodiments of this application provide a medicine basket that offers greater flexibility in use, allowing for direct dispensing of medicine and thus higher efficiency in medicine retrieval during use.

[0005] The frame has an internal cavity;

[0006] The basket body includes a first rotating basket and a second rotating basket. One side of the first rotating basket is hinged to one side of the frame, and the second rotating basket is hinged to the other side of the frame. The first rotating basket and the second rotating basket are arranged opposite each other below the frame and can be connected to each other to form a trough for receiving drugs below the cavity.

[0007] A jacking device is mounted on the frame, and the jacking device has a lifting and movable push rod;

[0008] The transmission device includes a first roller, a second roller, and a pull rope. The first roller and the second roller are mounted on the frame and located on both sides of the pushing device. The middle part of the pull rope is connected to the lifting movable push rod. One end of the pull rope passes around the first roller and connects to the side of the first rotating basket. The other end of the pull rope passes around the second roller and connects to the side of the second rotating basket. When the lifting movable push rod descends, it pulls the pull rope to make the first rotating basket and the second rotating basket dock together and close. When the lifting movable push rod rises, the first rotating basket and the second rotating basket separate from each other under the action of gravity.

[0009] In an optional or preferred embodiment, a mounting plate is further included, the four corners of which are connected to the frame via connecting rods.

[0010] In an optional or preferred embodiment, the connecting rod includes a first rod and a second rod, one end of the first rod is hinged to one end of the second rod, the other end of the first rod is hinged to the mounting plate, and the other end of the second rod is hinged to the frame.

[0011] In an optional or preferred embodiment, a limiting block is provided on the side of the second rod, the limiting block being used to limit the first rod.

[0012] In an optional or preferred embodiment, the first rotating basket is provided with a plurality of first hollow holes, and the second rotating basket is provided with a plurality of second hollow holes.

[0013] In an optional or preferred embodiment, the frame is a square frame structure, the first rotating basket and the second rotating basket are respectively hinged to two opposite frame sides of the frame, and an inverted triangular plate is installed in the middle of the other two opposite frame sides of the frame. The first rotating basket and the second rotating basket are both square shovel structures, and the shovel openings of the first rotating basket and the second rotating basket are provided with bevels. The shovel opening of the first rotating basket is connected to one side of the triangular edge of the inverted triangular plate, and the shovel opening of the second rotating basket is connected to the other side of the triangular edge of the inverted triangular plate.

[0015] In an optional or preferred embodiment, both the bottom of the first rotating basket and the second rotating basket are equipped with support columns.

[0016] In an optional or preferred embodiment, the pull rope is a steel wire rope.

[0017] Based on the above technical solution, the embodiments of this application have at least the following beneficial effects: During operation, the lifting and lowering movable push rod of the jacking device pushes downward, driving the first and second rotating baskets to connect below the cavity via a pull rope. Then, the robot grabs the medicine and places it into the trough defined by the first and second rotating baskets. When the medicine basket moves to the designated position, the lifting and lowering movable push rod of the jacking device moves upward to release the pull rope. At this time, the first and second rotating baskets lose the traction of the pull rope, and under the action of gravity, the first and second rotating baskets separate, thereby dropping the medicine contained therein. When dealing with fragile medicines, the first and second rotating baskets do not need to be separated, and medical personnel can directly reach in to retrieve them. Because the first and second rotating baskets of this medicine basket can be opened and closed, its use is more flexible. It can either drop the medicine directly or not, thus improving the efficiency of medicine retrieval during use. Attached Figure Description

[0025] With the rapid development of the pharmaceutical retail industry and the continuous improvement of automation, automated dispensing machines have been widely used in pharmacies. Traditional manual dispensing methods suffer from low efficiency, error-proneness, and high labor costs. Automated dispensing machines can significantly improve dispensing efficiency and accuracy.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 This application provides a medicine basket, including a frame 100, a basket body 200, a pushing device 300, and a transmission device 400.

[0027] The frame 100 has a cavity 110 inside. The basket 200 includes a first rotating basket 210 and a second rotating basket 220. One side of the first rotating basket 210 is hinged to one side of the frame 100, and the second rotating basket 220 is hinged to the other side of the frame 100. The first rotating basket 210 and the second rotating basket 220 are arranged opposite each other below the frame 100 and can be joined together to form a trough for receiving medicine below the cavity 110. A pushing device 300 is mounted on the frame 100 and has a lifting and movable push rod 310. The transmission device 400 includes a first roller 410 and a second roller. 420 and pull rope 430, first roller 410 and second roller 420 are mounted on frame 100 and located on both sides of push device 300 respectively. Pull rope 430 is connected to lifting movable push rod 310 in the middle. One end of pull rope 430 passes around first roller 410 and connects to the side of first rotating basket 210. The other end of pull rope 430 passes around second roller 420 and connects to the side of second rotating basket 220. Lifting movable push rod 310 descends and pulls pull rope 430 so that first rotating basket 210 and second rotating basket 220 are docked and closed. When lifting movable push rod 310 rises, first rotating basket 210 and second rotating basket 220 separate from each other under the action of gravity.

[0028] During operation, the lifting and lowering movable push rod 310 of the pusher device 300 is pushed downwards, causing the first rotating basket 210 and the second rotating basket 220 to dock below the cavity 110 via the pull rope 430. Then, the robot grabs the medicine and places it into the trough defined by the first rotating basket 210 and the second rotating basket 220. When the medicine basket moves to the designated position, the lifting and lowering movable push rod 310 of the pusher device 300 moves upwards to release the pull rope 430. At this time, the first rotating basket 210 and the second rotating basket 220 lose the traction of the pull rope 430. Under the action of gravity, the first rotating basket 210 and the second rotating basket 220 separate from each other, thereby dropping the medicine contained therein. When dealing with fragile medicines, the first rotating basket 210 and the second rotating basket 220 do not need to be separated, and medical personnel can directly reach in and retrieve them. Because the first rotating basket 210 and the second rotating basket 220 of this medicine basket can be opened and closed, its use is more flexible. It can either drop the medicine directly or not, thus making the medicine retrieval efficiency higher during use.

[0029] The frame 100 is set horizontally, and the specific structure of the frame 100 is not limited. It can be a circular frame, a polygonal frame, a square frame, or other structures.

[0030] In this application, the frame 100 is a rectangular frame structure. The first rotating basket 210 and the second rotating basket 220 are respectively hinged to two opposite frame edges of the frame 100. An inverted triangular plate 230 is installed in the middle of the other two opposite frame edges of the frame 100. Both the first rotating basket 210 and the second rotating basket 220 are square shovel structures. The shovel openings of both the first rotating basket 210 and the second rotating basket 220 are provided with beveled edges. The shovel opening of the first rotating basket 210 connects to one triangular edge of the inverted triangular plate 230, and the shovel opening of the second rotating basket 220 connects to the other triangular edge of the inverted triangular plate 230. Thus, the first rotating basket 210, the second rotating basket 220, and the inverted triangular plate 230 together define a trough for holding medicines below the frame 100. The inverted triangular plate 230 serves as a transitional connection between the first rotating basket 210 and the second rotating basket 220.

[0031] Of course, the first rotating basket 210 and the second rotating basket 220 can also be configured with other structures. For example, the shovel openings of the first rotating basket 210 and the shovel openings of the second rotating basket 220 can be cut with bevels that can be connected to each other, eliminating the middle inverted triangular plate 230. The lifting and lowering movable push rod 310 of the pushing device 300 can drive the bevels of the first rotating basket 210 and the second rotating basket 220 to connect with each other through the pull rope 430.

[0032] In some embodiments, the pushing device 300 is an electric push rod. Of course, in addition to an electric push rod, the pushing device 300 can also be a cylinder or other device.

[0033] In this application, the jacking device 300 is vertically installed on the frame side of the first rotating basket 210 and the second rotating basket 220. The first roller 410 and the second roller 420 are also installed on the frame side. The lower end of the lifting movable push rod 310 of the jacking device 300 has a through hole, and the pull rope 430 is directly inserted into the through hole.

[0034] In this application, only one pushing device 300 is provided. In other embodiments, two pushing devices 300 may be provided, which are vertically installed on the frame sides of the first rotating basket 210 and the second rotating basket 220 respectively. Each pushing device 300 drives the first rotating basket 210 and the second rotating basket 220 to rotate through a pull rope 430.

[0035] In this application, the rope 430 is a steel wire rope.

[0036] In some embodiments, the medicine basket further includes a mounting plate 500, the four corners of which are connected to the frame 100 via connecting rods 600. The mounting plate 500 is used to mount on a moving device of the mobile medicine basket, but the medicine basket and the moving device are not directly connected.

[0037] In some embodiments, the connecting rod 600 includes a first rod 610 and a second rod 620. One end of the first rod 610 is hinged to one end of the second rod 620, the other end of the first rod 610 is hinged to the mounting plate 500, and the other end of the second rod 620 is hinged to the frame 100. When the moving device places the medicine basket onto the table, the connecting rod 600 acts as a buffer, improving the flexibility of the medicine basket.

[0038] In some embodiments, a limiting block 621 is provided on the side of the second rod 620. The limiting block 621 is used to limit the first rod 610 to prevent the rotation angle between the first rod 610 and the second rod 620 from being too large, which would cause the medicine basket to tip over.

[0039] In some embodiments, the first rotating basket 210 is provided with a plurality of first perforations, and the second rotating basket 220 is provided with a plurality of second perforations. This can reduce the weight of the first rotating basket 210 and the second rotating basket 220.

[0040] In some embodiments, a support column 700 is installed at the bottom of both the first rotating basket 210 and the second rotating basket 220. When the entire medicine basket is placed on the table, the support column 700 supports the table surface.

[0041] In the description of this specification, the references to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., refer to specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in connection with that embodiment or example, which are included in at least one embodiment or example of the embodiments of this application. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples. Moreover, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification, as well as the features of different embodiments or examples.

[0042] The embodiments of this application have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this application is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this application.
