[0028] With the rapid development of medical and health undertakings and the aggravation of population aging, the workload of pharmacies is increasing day by day, and the traditional manual dispensing mode has been difficult to meet the current demand. Manual dispensing not only has low efficiency, but also is prone to errors, which not only increases the workload of pharmacists, but also may endanger the safety of patients.
[0029] With reference to Figures 1 to 4 The present application provides a dispensing mechanism, which comprises a fixed plate 100, a driving device 200, a sliding seat 300 and a suction device 400.
[0030] The mounting seat 110 is horizontally arranged on the fixed plate 100, and the sliding rails 111 are arranged on both sides of the mounting seat 110 and extend along the length direction of the mounting seat 110. The driving device 200 comprises a power component 210 and a transmission mechanism. The power component 210 is installed on the fixed plate 100, and the transmission mechanism is connected to the power output end of the power component 210. The sliding seat 300 is connected to the sliding rails 111 through sliding blocks 311, and the sliding seat 300 is connected to the transmission mechanism. The transmission mechanism can drive the sliding seat 300 to move along the sliding rails 111. The suction device 400 comprises a connecting seat 410 and a suction nozzle 420. The connecting seat 410 is connected to the sliding seat 300, and the suction nozzle 420 is installed on the connecting seat 410.
[0031] During the working process, the power component 210 drives the transmission mechanism, so that the transmission mechanism drives the sliding seat 300 to move along the slide rail 111. When the suction nozzle 420 of the suction device 400 is docked to the medicine on the medicine rack, the suction nozzle 420 starts to suck the medicine. Then, the power component 210 is reversed, so that the transmission mechanism drives the suction device 400 to move to the predetermined position along the slide rail 111. After that, the suction device 400 releases the medicine, thereby completing the medicine taking action. The medicine taking mechanism adopts a mechanical structure to take medicine, and does not need manual medicine taking, thereby saving manpower and improving the medicine taking efficiency.
[0032] The fixed plate 100 is a horizontal plate structure. In order to reduce the weight, a plurality of strip-shaped holes are formed on the fixed plate 100.
[0033] The mounting seat 110 is formed by two rectangular plates vertically fixed at the middle part of the lower surface of the fixed plate 100. The two rectangular plates are parallel to each other and arranged at intervals.
[0034] The slide rail 111 is horizontally fixed outside the two rectangular plates.
[0035] The power component 210 is a motor, which is installed on the upper surface of the fixed plate 100.
[0036] In some embodiments, the transmission mechanism includes a driving wheel 211, a driven wheel 212 and a synchronous belt. The driving wheel 211 is installed on the power output end of the power component 210. The driven wheel 212 is installed at the two ends of the mounting seat 110. The synchronous belt connects the driving wheel 211 and the driven wheel 212, and the synchronous belt connects the sliding seat 300.
[0037] Specifically, the two driven wheels 212 are respectively installed at the two ends of the mounting seat 110 through shafts. The fixed plate 100 is provided with a through hole corresponding to the position of the driving wheel 211 in the middle part. The synchronous belt is sleeved on the driving wheel 211 and the two driven wheels 212.
[0038] In order to prevent the synchronous belt from being scratched by the inner wall of the through hole, the lower surface of the fixed plate 100 is provided with auxiliary wheels on both sides of the through hole. The synchronous belt passing through the through hole is pressed on the two auxiliary wheels.
[0039] In other embodiments, the transmission mechanism can also be a ball screw. The power component 210 is installed on the lower surface of the fixed plate 100. The screw rod is connected with the power output end of the power component 210. The screw nut is assembled on the screw rod, and the screw nut is fixedly connected with the sliding seat 300.
[0040] In some embodiments, two suction devices 400 are arranged along the length direction of the mounting base 110, and the two suction devices 400 are respectively arranged on the two sides of the mounting base 110. In this way, no matter the sliding base 300 moves to the left or to the right, there is a nearest suction device 400 to adsorb the medicine, which reduces the moving distance of the sliding base 300 and improves the medicine picking efficiency.
[0041] In order to improve the adsorption force, a plurality of suction nozzles 420 are arranged on the connecting base 410, and each suction nozzle 420 is arranged side by side on the connecting base 410.
[0042] In some embodiments, the negative pressure device 120 is arranged on the fixed plate 100, and the negative pressure device 120 is in communication with the suction nozzle 420 through a pipeline.
[0043] In some embodiments, the connecting base 410 is internally provided with a cavity 411, one end of the suction nozzle 420 extends into the cavity 411, and a connector 421 is arranged at the end of the suction nozzle 420 extending into the cavity 411. In this way, the connector 421 of the suction nozzle 420 used to connect the negative pressure device 120 is arranged inside the connecting base 410, which improves the space utilization.
[0044] In some embodiments, the sliding base 300 includes a U-shaped groove plate 310, a connecting plate 320, and square tubes 330. The inner sides of the two side groove walls of the U-shaped groove plate 310 are provided with sliding blocks 311. The connecting plate 320 is horizontally fixed at the bottom of the U-shaped groove plate 310 and horizontally extends to the two sides of the U-shaped groove plate 310. The square tubes 330 are arranged on the horizontally extending connecting plate 320 to the two sides of the U-shaped groove plate 310, and the square tubes 330 extend along the length direction of the sliding rail 111. One of the square tubes 330 extends from one side of the fixed plate 100, and the other square tube 330 extends from the other side of the fixed plate 100. The end of each square tube 330 is provided with the connecting base 410.
[0045] In this application, the U-shaped groove plate 310, the connecting plate 320, and the square tube 330 are connected in a detachable manner. Of course, in other embodiments, the U-shaped groove plate 310, the connecting plate 320, and the square tube 330 can be arranged in an integrated structure.
[0046] In some embodiments, the connecting base 410 is hingedly connected to the end of the square tube 330, the side of the square tube 330 is provided with a rotary rudder 331, and the rotary shaft of the rotary rudder 331 is connected to the connecting base 410. After the sliding base 300 drives the connecting base 410 to move to a predetermined position, the rotary rudder 331 drives the connecting base 410 to rotate, so that the suction nozzle 420 corresponds to the corresponding medicine, and then the adsorption is performed.
[0047] In order to prevent the sliding block 311 from sliding off the two ends of the slide rail 111, in some embodiments, the side of the mounting base 110 is provided with a limiting column 112 for blocking the sliding block 311 from disengaging from the slide rail 111.
[0048] Specifically, a limiting column 112 is vertically fixed on the mounting base 110 at the upper part of each end of the slide rail 111.
[0049] Referring to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the mounting base 110 is provided with a reset photoelectric switch 113, a rudder rotation photoelectric switch 114, an adsorption photoelectric switch 115, and a controller. The reset photoelectric switch 113, the rudder rotation photoelectric switch 114, and the adsorption photoelectric switch 115 are arranged along the length direction of the mounting base 110. The controller is connected with the reset photoelectric switch 113, the rudder rotation photoelectric switch 114, and the adsorption photoelectric switch 115. The controller is also connected with the rotating rudder 331, the power component 210, and the negative pressure device 120. The reset photoelectric switch 113 is located at the middle part of the mounting base 110. The adsorption photoelectric switch 115 is located at the end part of the mounting base 110. The rudder rotation photoelectric switch 114 is located between the adsorption photoelectric switch 115 and the reset photoelectric switch 113. The U-shaped groove plate 310 is provided with a baffle 312 for matching the reset photoelectric switch 113, the rudder rotation photoelectric switch 114, and the adsorption photoelectric switch 115.
[0050] When the baffle 312 on the sliding seat 300 is moved to the reset photoelectric switch 113 by the transmission mechanism, it indicates that the sliding seat 300 has moved to the original position. When it is necessary to grab the medicine, the transmission mechanism drives the sliding seat 300 to move. When the baffle 312 moves to the rudder rotation photoelectric switch 114, the controller sends an instruction to the rotating rudder 331, so that the rotating rudder 331 drives the connecting seat 410 to rotate to the horizontal direction. Then the transmission mechanism drives the sliding seat 300 to continue moving. When the baffle 312 moves to the adsorption photoelectric switch 115, the controller controls the negative pressure device 120 to start working, so that the suction nozzle 420 starts to adsorb, thereby sucking the medicine. Then the controller controls the power component 210 to reverse, and at this time the transmission mechanism drives the sliding seat 300 to move reversely along the slide rail 111. When the sliding seat 300 moves to the position where the baffle 312 triggers the rudder rotation photoelectric switch 114, the rotating rudder 331 drives the connecting seat 410 to rotate reversely, so that the medicine adsorbed on the suction nozzle 420 rotates to the vertical direction. Then the transmission mechanism continues to drive the sliding seat 300 to move. When the baffle 312 moves to the reset photoelectric switch 113, the controller sends a signal to the negative pressure device 120, so that the negative pressure device 120 releases the pressure, thereby releasing the medicine from the suction nozzle 420. Through the reset photoelectric switch 113, the rudder rotation photoelectric switch 114, the adsorption photoelectric switch 115, and the controller, each action of grabbing the medicine is refined and decomposed, so that the medicine grabbing is more accurate.
[0051] The application has two adsorption devices 400, so in addition to setting one reset photoelectric switch 113, two are set for the rudder rotation photoelectric switch 114 and the adsorption photoelectric switch 115, and the two rudder rotation photoelectric switches 114 and the two adsorption photoelectric switches 115 are symmetrically arranged on the two sides of the reset photoelectric switch 113.
