Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a drug dispensing buffer component and a drug dispensing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most pharmacies in my country's medical and health institutions still operate using the traditional manual dispensing model. During peak emergency periods, overcrowding in outpatient waiting areas is a serious problem. Furthermore, under this traditional model, pharmacists must manually dispense prescriptions, resulting in high labor intensity, low efficiency, and a significant amount of time spent collecting prescriptions, dispensing medications, verifying prescriptions, and delivering drugs to patients. This prevents pharmacists from providing professional pharmaceutical services, leading to strained doctor-patient relationships.

[0003] For medical and health units that use automated equipment to assist in dispensing medicines, the robotic arm has to deliver the medicine to the collection point every time it picks up a medicine, which leads to a decrease in dispensing efficiency.

[0004] In view of this, it is necessary to improve the existing drug dispensing cache component to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0052] like Figures 1 to 27 As shown, the dispensing machine 100 of this utility model includes a medicine storage rack 1, a medicine frame 2 placed on the medicine storage rack 1 for storing medicine, a medicine frame taking and placing component 3 for taking medicine from the medicine storage rack 1 and the medicine frame 2, a dispensing buffer component 4 for transferring medicine, and a packaging machine 5 for packaging medicine.

[0053] like Figure 3As shown, the medicine storage rack 1 includes a first frame 11 and a second frame 12, with the medicine frame retrieval assembly 3 disposed between the first frame 11 and the second frame 12. Support bars 13 are provided on the first frame 11 and the second frame 12, and the medicine frame 2 is placed on the support bars 13. This arrangement allows for the storage of more medicines on the medicine storage rack 1. In this embodiment, both the first frame 11 and the second frame 12 have multiple layers to store more medicines.

[0054] In this embodiment, the connection direction between the first frame 11 and the second frame 12 is defined as the X direction, the extension direction as the Y direction, and the height direction as the Z direction. The packaging machine 5 is disposed at one end of the medicine rack 1 along the Y direction.

[0055] Each of the medicine frames 2 is provided with a partition plate 21 on top. In this embodiment, the medicine frame 2 is mainly used to place blister packs of medicines. The dispensing machine 100 is also mainly used to pack blister packs of medicines, but it is not limited to this. It can also be used for bottled medicines, injections, or tablets.

[0056] like Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the medicine frame picking and placing assembly 3 includes a picking support plate 31, a picking suction rod 32, a picking drive component 33, a picking plate 34, a picking drive component 35, a picking and placing fixing plate 36, a picking and placing connecting plate 37, a picking and placing rotating motor 38, a connecting slider 39, a vertical guide rail 30 extending in the vertical direction, and a horizontal guide rail 301.

[0057] The frame-removing support plate 31 is provided with a medicine-removing guide rail 311 and a frame-removing guide rail 312, which are arranged in parallel. In this embodiment, there are two frame-removing guide rails 312, and the two frame-removing guide rails 312 are arranged in parallel.

[0058] One end of the drug-dispensing suction rod 32 is provided with a drug-dispensing slider 321, which is slidably disposed relative to the drug-dispensing guide rail 311. Further, the drug-dispensing suction rod 32 includes a rod body 322, a suction head 323 disposed at one end of the rod body 322, and a detection element 324 fixed to the rod body 322. One end of the rod body 322 is fixedly connected to the drug-dispensing slider 321, and the other end is connected to the suction head 323. The detection element 324 is used to detect the position of the drug-dispensing suction rod 32 relative to the medicine frame 2, thereby controlling the distance the drug-dispensing suction rod 32 moves. The detection element 324 can be a distance detector, a displacement detector, etc., and can use ultrasonic sensing, photoelectric sensing, or image sensing methods.

[0059] The drug dispensing drive 33 is connected to the drug dispensing slider 321, and is used to drive the drug dispensing slider 321 to slide relative to the drug dispensing guide rail 311. In this embodiment, the drug dispensing drive 33 can drive the drug dispensing suction rod 32 to protrude toward the medicine storage rack 1 to pick up the medicine in the medicine box 2.

[0060] The frame-retrieving plate 34 is provided with a frame-retrieving slider 341, which is slidably disposed relative to the frame-retrieving guide rail 312. The frame-retrieving drive component 35 is connected to the frame-retrieving slider 341 to drive the frame-retrieving slider 341 to slide relative to the frame-retrieving guide rail 312. In this embodiment, there are two frame-retrieving guide rails 312 and two frame-retrieving sliders 341. The two frame-retrieving guide rails 312 and two frame-retrieving sliders 341 can make the frame-retrieving plate 34 operate more stably.

[0061] The frame-removing plate 34 is provided with limiting members 342 at intervals along the extending direction of the frame-removing guide rail 312, and the limiting members 342 extend upward from the frame-removing plate 34. The medicine frame 2 is used to be placed between the two limiting members 342. When the medicine frame 2 is removed, the limiting members 342 pull the medicine frame 2 away from the support bar 13, and the frame-removing plate 34 provides support for the medicine frame 2.

[0062] The pick-and-place fixing plate 36 is disposed below the pick-and-place support plate 31, and the pick-and-place connecting plate 37 is connected between the pick-and-place support plate 31 and the pick-and-place fixing plate 36.

[0063] The pick-and-place rotating motor 38 is connected to the pick-and-place fixing plate 36 to drive the pick-and-place fixing plate 36 and the pick-and-place frame support plate 31 to rotate. In this embodiment, by setting the pick-and-place rotating motor 38, the medicine suction rod 32 and the pick-and-place frame plate 34 can pick up the medicine and the medicine pick-and-place frame 2 from the first frame 11 and the second frame 12.

[0064] The connecting slider 39 is slidably disposed relative to the vertical guide rail 30, and the connecting slider 39 is fixedly connected to the pick-and-place rotary motor 38. The vertical guide rail 30 is slidably disposed relative to the horizontal guide rail 301. The horizontal guide rail 301 extends along the Y direction, and the vertical guide rail 30 extends along the Z direction.

[0065] In this embodiment, by setting a horizontal guide rail 301 and a vertical guide rail 30, the frame-removing support plate 31 and the medicine-removing suction rod 32 can be moved to the corresponding medicine frame 2 position. At the same time, the vertical guide rail 30 drives the frame-removing support plate 31 to rise and the medicine-removing suction rod 32 to remove the corresponding medicine frame 2 or the medicine in the medicine frame 2.

[0066] The drug dispensing drive unit 33 includes a drug dispensing motor 331 and a drug dispensing pulley 332. The drug dispensing pulley 332 connects the drug dispensing slider 321 and the drug dispensing motor 331. The frame picking drive unit 35 includes a frame picking motor 351 and a frame picking pulley 352. The frame picking pulley 352 connects the frame picking slider 341 and the frame picking motor 351.

[0067] The dispensing motor 331 drives the dispensing pulley 332, which in turn moves the dispensing suction rod 32. At this time, the dispensing guide rail 311 typically extends along the X-direction, working in conjunction with the horizontal guide rail 301, the vertical guide rail 30, and the dispensing / placing rotation motor 38 to pick up medicine from any position in the medicine frame 2. Similarly, the frame-retrieving motor 351 drives the frame-retrieving pulley 352 to rotate, which in turn moves the frame-retrieving plate 34 to achieve the frame-retrieving function.

[0068] In this embodiment, the frame-retrieving plate 34 can not only retrieve empty medicine frames 2, but also place medicine frames 2 filled with medicine into the medicine storage rack 1. The specific process is as follows: when medicine needs to be replenished and there is an empty space on the medicine storage rack 1, the secondary warehouse will transport the medicine frames 2 filled with medicine to the frame-retrieving plate 34 via a hoisting line. After the medicine frame retrieval and placement component 3 moves to the corresponding position, the frame-retrieving motor 351 can drive the frame-retrieving pulley 352 to rotate, thereby driving the frame-retrieving plate 34 to move until the medicine frame 2 moves to the corresponding position on the medicine storage rack 1. Then, the frame-retrieving support plate 31 and the frame-retrieving plate 34 on it are controlled to move downward, so that the medicine frame 2 is retained on the support bar 13, completing the medicine loading.

[0069] like Figures 8 to 13 As shown, the drug dispensing buffer assembly 4 includes a buffer guide rail 41, a buffer box 42, a switch 43, a buffer collection component 44, a buffer collection guide rail 45 extending in the vertical direction, a buffer pressing component 46, and a horizontal sliding component 47 that is slidably connected to the buffer collection guide rail 45 in the vertical direction.

[0070] The number of the buffer rails 41 is multiple, and the buffer rails 41 are divided into two groups. The two groups of buffer rails 41 are respectively arranged adjacent to the first frame 11 and the second frame 12, and each group of buffer rails 41 is spaced apart along the height direction.

[0071] like Figures 9 to 10 As shown, there are multiple buffer boxes 42, which are used to hold medicines. Each buffer guide rail 41 has at least one buffer box 42. In this embodiment, each buffer guide rail 41 has one buffer box 42, and the buffer box 42 is slidably disposed relative to the buffer guide rail 41. In this embodiment, each buffer guide rail 41 is correspondingly provided with a set of buffer driving components to drive the buffer box 42 to move relative to the buffer guide rail 41.

[0072] The buffer box 42 has an upward-facing receiving port 421 and a downward-facing discharging port 422. Medicines are obtained from the medicine box loading and unloading assembly 3. The discharging port 422 is used to discharge the medicines from the buffer box 42. After obtaining the medicines from the medicine box loading and unloading assembly 3, the buffer box 42 moves to the buffer collection unit 44. The buffer collection unit 44 collects all the medicines and sends them to the packaging machine 5 for packaging.

[0073] The buffer box 42 is provided with a fixing block 423. Furthermore, the fixing block 423 is arranged on both sides of the buffer box 42, one side facing the medicine shelf 1 and the other side away from the medicine shelf 1.

[0074] In this embodiment, the first frame 11 and the second frame 12 are provided with multiple layers, and each layer corresponds to a buffer guide rail 41. After the medicine in one layer is taken out, it is placed into the buffer box 42. The buffer box 42 can then move along the buffer guide rail 41 to the position of the buffer collection component 44 to collect the medicine without affecting the medicine box taking and placing component 3 to take out and place medicines in other layers, thereby improving the efficiency of medicine collection.

[0075] The switch 43 is used to open and close the medicine outlet 422.

[0076] The switch 43 includes two rotatable opening and closing plates 431, a first connecting rod 432 connected to the opening and closing plates 431, a second connecting rod 433 connecting the two first connecting rods 432, a third connecting rod 434 abutting against the second connecting rod 433, and a return spring 435.

[0077] The opening and closing plate 431 is pivotally connected to the buffer box 42 via an opening and closing pivot shaft, wherein the axis of the opening and closing pivot shaft is in the X direction, and the two opening and closing plates 431 are arranged on both sides of the buffer box 42 along the Y direction. The opening and closing plates 431 rotate to open and close the medicine outlet 422.

[0078] The first connecting rod 432 is pivotally connected to the second connecting rod 433 and the opening and closing plate 431. The second connecting rod 433 extends horizontally and is movable vertically. The second connecting rod 433 moves vertically to drive the first connecting rod 432 and the opening and closing plate 431 to rotate.

[0079] Furthermore, the third link 434 extends vertically to move the second link 433. Therefore, simply moving the third link 434 vertically will open or close the opening / closing plate 431.

[0080] The third link 434 passes through the fixing block 423. The lower end of the third link 434 is fixedly connected to the second link 433. The upper end of the third link 434 is provided with a limiting block 4341. The reset spring 435 abuts against the fixing block 423 and the reset member.

[0081] The downward movement of the third link 434 can cause the opening and closing plate 431 to rotate to expose the medicine outlet 422. After the external force is removed, the return spring 435 pushes the third link 434 upward to cause the opening and closing plate 431 to rotate and close the medicine outlet 422.

[0082] like Figures 11 to 13 As shown, the buffer collector 44 is slidably disposed relative to the buffer collection guide 45, and the buffer collector 44 has a collection state located below the medicine outlet 422 of each buffer box 42. When the buffer collector 44 needs to collect medicine, it moves to the bottom of the corresponding buffer box 42, and the buffer collection guide 45 extends along the Z direction, so that the buffer collector 44 can collect medicines in buffer boxes 42 of different heights.

[0083] The buffer collector 44 is slidably disposed relative to the horizontal slider 47. After collecting the medicine, the buffer collector 44 slides horizontally to convey the medicine to the packaging machine 5. In this embodiment, the horizontal slider 47 is slidably disposed along the X direction, and one end of the buffer collector 44 has an opening. The horizontal slider 47 carries the medicine to the opening and it falls down. In this embodiment, the horizontal slider 47 is a conveyor belt structure.

[0084] The buffer collection unit 44 is equipped with a horizontal conveyor belt to transport medicines horizontally. In this embodiment, when the buffer collection unit 44 moves to a suitable position, the horizontal conveyor belt is driven to transport the medicines to the packaging machine 5.

[0085] The buffer pressing member 46 is fixed to the buffer collecting member 44. In this embodiment, the buffer pressing member 46 includes a buffer connecting plate 461 and a buffer pressing plate 462. The buffer connecting plate 461 is fixedly connected to the buffer collecting member 44 by bolts or welding. The buffer pressing plate 462 is used to abut against the third connecting rod 434. That is, when the buffer pressing plate 462 presses against the third connecting rod 434, the switch member 43 is opened to dispensing medicine. In this embodiment, the buffer pressing member 46 and the buffer collecting member 44 move synchronously to collect medicine in the buffer box 42 of the corresponding height. Thus, only one drive is needed to move the buffer collecting member 44 to the corresponding buffer box 42 and open the buffer box 42. Of course, in other embodiments, the buffer pressing member 46 can also be configured to be slidably set separately with the buffer collecting guide rail 45.

[0086] Each of the aforementioned switch components 43 includes two sets of first connecting rods 432, second connecting rods 433 and third connecting rods 434, and the third connecting rods 434 of each of the aforementioned switch components 43 are disposed on both sides of the buffer box 42. The number of buffer pressure plates is two, and they are spaced apart, so as to abut against the two third connecting rods 434 respectively.

[0087] like Figures 14 to 27 As shown, the packaging machine 5 includes a labeling machine 51, a label table 52, a bag feeding component 53, a labeling and bag picking component 54, a bag transfer component 55, a bag opening component 56, a medicine filling component 57, a heat sealing component 58, a recycling component 59, and a medicine picking component 50.

[0088] The marking machine 51 is used to print labels, and the label table 52 is used to receive the labels. The labels printed by the marking machine 51 are directly conveyed to the label table 52.

[0089] The bag supply component 53 is used to provide the medicine storage bag 200, and the bag supply component 53 is disposed above the label holder 52.

[0090] like Figures 17-18 As shown, specifically, the bag supply component 53 includes at least two spaced-apart bag supply support plates 531, a bag storage frame 532, a limiting rod 533, and a release roller 534.

[0091] The bag supply support plate 531 is fixed to both sides of the storage bag frame 532. The bag supply support plate 531 includes a support section 5311 extending horizontally and a limiting section 5312 extending upward from one end of the support section 5311. The limiting end and the limiting rod 533 are arranged around the storage bag 200. The storage bag 200 is placed on the support section 5311, and the support sections 5311 on both sides can support the storage bag 200.

[0092] The limiting rod 533 is fixed to the other two sides of the storage bag frame 532 and extends upward from the storage bag frame 532. The medicine storage bag 200 is disposed between the limiting rod 533 and the bag supply support plate 531. In this embodiment, the limiting rod 533 and the limiting segment 5312 restrict the position of the medicine storage bag 200 from all sides.

[0093] The release roller 534 is fixed on the storage bag frame 532 and located below the medicine storage bag 200. The axial direction of the release roller 534 is perpendicular to the line connecting the two side supply bag support plates 531. In this embodiment, the axial direction of the release roller 534 is the X direction. The release roller 534 supports the medicine storage bag 200 from the middle and also facilitates the removal of the medicine storage bag 200.

[0094] like Figures 19 to 20As shown, the labeling and bag-removing assembly 54 is used to affix a label to the medicine storage bag 200 and remove the labeled medicine storage bag 200.

[0095] The labeling and bag-taking assembly 54 includes a labeling rotation motor 541, a labeling connecting plate 542 connected to the labeling rotation motor 541, a label suction cup 543 disposed at one end of the labeling connecting plate 542, a bag suction cup 544 disposed at one end of the labeling connecting plate 542 and adjacent to the label suction cup 543, and a movable component 545 connecting the labeling connecting plate 542 and the labeling rotation motor 541.

[0096] The labeling and bag-taking assembly 54 has a labeling rotation motor 541 that drives the label suction cup 543 downward to pick up labels from the label table 52, and a bag suction cup 544 that drives the bag suction cup 544 upward to pick up medicine bags 200 from the bag supply component 53. The labeling rotation motor 541 can drive the labeling connecting plate 542 to rotate, thereby driving the label suction cup 543 and the bag suction cup 544 to rotate.

[0097] The movable component 545 includes a labeling slider 5451 fixedly connected to the labeling rotary motor 541, a labeling slide rail 5452 connected to the labeling connecting plate 542, and a labeling drive component 5453 for driving the labeling slide rail 5452 to slide relative to the labeling slider 5451. The labeling drive component 5453 includes a labeling motor 5454 and a labeling pulley 5455, the labeling pulley 5455 being fixedly connected to the labeling slider 5451. The labeling rotary motor 541 fixes the labeling drive component 5453 to a fixed plate structure, and the labeling drive component 5453 achieves the effect of moving the label suction cup 543 and the bag suction cup 544.

[0098] When the labeling motor 541 drives the label suction cup 543 downward, the moving part 545 drives the label suction cup 543 downward until it contacts and picks up the label; when the labeling motor 541 drives the bag suction cup 544 upward, the moving part 545 drives the bag suction cup 544 upward, the label suction cup 543 contacts the medicine bag 200 and sticks the label on the medicine bag 200, the bag suction cup 544 picks up the labeled medicine bag 200, and the moving part 545 drives the bag suction cup 544 downward and pulls off a medicine bag 200, completing the labeling and bag removal process.

[0099] The suction ends of the label suction cup 543 and the bag suction cup 544 extend from the labeling connecting plate 542 toward the same end. In this embodiment, label picking, labeling, and bag picking can be achieved by setting a labeling rotation motor 541 and a set of moving parts 545, which is simple in structure and low in cost.

[0100] like Figure 21 As shown, the bag transfer assembly 55 is used to remove and move the medicine bag 200 from the labeling and bag-removing assembly 54. The bag transfer assembly 55 has a transfer guide rail 551 extending in the X direction, a transfer slide plate 552 movable relative to the transfer guide rail 551, a first suction bag member 553 disposed on the transfer slide plate 552, a clamping transfer member 554 disposed on the transfer slide plate 552 and spaced apart from the first suction bag member 553, and a bag opening drive device 555 for driving the first suction bag member 553 to move in the Y direction.

[0101] The clamping and transferring member 554 and the first suction bag member 553 are spaced apart along the extending direction of the transfer guide rail 551, and the transfer slide plate 552 has a bag-taking position and a medicine-filling and sealing position.

[0102] The first suction bag component 553 is equipped with a suction cup for adsorbing the medicine storage bag 200, and the first suction bag component 553 is positioned towards the bag suction cup 544 along the Y direction. When the labeling and bag-removing assembly 54 removes the labeled medicine storage bag 200, the labeling rotation motor 541 drives the bag suction cup 544 to move towards the first suction bag component 553 along the Y direction. At this time, the transfer slide plate 552 moves to the bag-removing position, the first suction bag component 553 starts and adsorbs the medicine storage bag 200, and the bag suction cup 544 stops adsorbing, thus realizing the transfer of the medicine storage bag 200. Then, the transfer slide plate 552 is driven to slide relative to the transfer guide rail 551, so that the transfer slide plate 552 moves to the medicine filling and sealing position, and the first suction bag component 553 moves to the side of the bag opening assembly 56.

[0103] like Figures 22 to 23 As shown, the bag opening assembly 56 includes a second suction bag member 561, a bag opening drive member 562 for driving the second suction bag member 561 to move in the Y direction, and a clamping assembly 563.

[0104] When the transfer slide plate 552 is in the drug-filling and sealing position, the bag-opening drive 562 drives the second suction bag member 561 to move closer to the first suction bag member 553 so that the first suction bag member 553 and the second suction bag member 561 adsorb the drug storage bag 200 from both sides. The bag-opening drive 562 drives the second suction bag member 561 away from the first suction bag member 553 to open the drug storage bag 200. Alternatively, the bag-opening drive device 555 can be configured to drive the first suction bag member 553 away from the second suction bag member 561 to open the drug storage bag 200. Opening the drug storage bag 200 from both sides provides a better centering effect.

[0105] The clamping assembly 563 includes two clamping members 5631 spaced apart along the X direction for clamping the medicine storage bag 200. The two clamping members 5631 are movably arranged along the X direction. When the medicine storage bag 200 is opened, the clamping assembly 563 can move the two sides of the medicine storage bag 200 towards the middle, which facilitates opening the medicine storage bag 200 and ensures the stability of opening the medicine storage bag 200.

[0106] The clamping assembly 563 includes a clamping drive plate 5632 movable in the Y direction, a first clamping guide rail 5633 extending in the X direction, a first clamping connecting rod 5634 connected to the clamping member 5631, a clamping movable slide plate 5635, a clamping baffle 5636 disposed at one end of the clamping movable slide plate 5635, a second clamping guide rail 5637 disposed on the clamping movable slide plate 5635, a clamping plate 5638 disposed on the second clamping guide rail 5637, a jaw plate 5639 rotatable relative to the clamping baffle 5636, a clamping connecting rod 5640 connecting the clamping plate 5638 and the jaw plate 5639, and a second clamping connecting rod 5641 connected to the clamping movable slide plate 5635.

[0107] The clamping member 5631 is composed of a claw plate 5639 and a clamping plate 5638.

[0108] The clamping drive plate 5632 is provided with a first limiting groove 56321, a second limiting groove 56322, and a third limiting groove 56323 that are inclined to both the X and Y directions.

[0109] The first clamping connecting rod 5634 has a first roller 56341 protruding into the first limiting groove 56321 at one end away from the clamping member 5631. The clamping member 5631 is disposed on the first clamping guide rail 5633. The clamping drive plate 5632 moves along the Y direction to drive the clamping member 5631 to move along the first clamping guide rail 5633 in the X direction.

[0110] The clamping sliding plate 5635 is slidably disposed relative to the first clamping guide rail 5633, the second clamping guide rail 5637 extends along the Y direction, the clamping plate 5638 is slidably disposed relative to the second clamping guide rail 5637, the clamping plate 5638 moves along the second clamping guide rail 5637 to drive the clamping linkage 5640 to drive the gripper plate 5639 to rotate, and the medicine storage bag 200 is clamped between the gripper plate 5639 and the clamping plate 5638.

[0111] The second limiting groove 56322 is connected to the first limiting groove 56321 and extends along the Y direction. The third limiting groove 56323 is parallel or collinear with the first limiting groove 56321. The end of the second clamping connecting rod 5641 away from the clamping moving slide plate 5635 is provided with a second roller 56411 protruding into the third limiting groove 56323. When the first roller 56341 moves relative to the second limiting groove 56322, the clamping drive plate 5632 moves along the Y direction, driving the second clamping connecting rod 5640 and the clamping plate 5638 to move and driving the gripper plate 5639 to rotate. When the first roller 56341 moves relative to the first limiting groove 56321, the second roller 56411 moves synchronously relative to the third limiting groove 56323.

[0112] In this embodiment, the effect of clamping the medicine bag 200 by the claw plate 5639 and moving the clamping member 5631 in the X direction to open the medicine bag 200 can be achieved by simply moving the clamping drive plate 5632.

[0113] The drug filling assembly 57 is disposed above the bag opening assembly 56, and the drug filling assembly 57 is used to deliver the drug into the storage bag 200.

[0114] like Figures 24 to 27 As shown, the drug loading assembly 57 includes a drug delivery box 571 with a drug delivery port 5711 at the lower end, a drug delivery switch assembly 572 for closing or opening the drug delivery port 5711, a drug pushing drive 573, and a drug guide groove 574 connected to the drug delivery box 571.

[0115] The bag opening component 56 is used to open the medicine storage bag 200 and place it below the medicine delivery port 5711, and the medicine pushing drive component 573 is used to push the medicine in the medicine delivery box 571 downwards out of the medicine delivery port 5711.

[0116] The drug delivery channel 574 extends at an angle and is connected to the upper end of the drug delivery box 571. The medicine collected from the buffer collector 44 is transferred to the drug delivery channel 574 and slides into the drug delivery box 571.

[0117] The drug delivery switch assembly 572 includes a lifting bucket 5721, two flip plates 5722 disposed at the bottom of the lifting bucket 5721, a lifting drive component 5723 connected to the lifting bucket 5721 to drive the lifting bucket 5721 to move up and down, a switch fixing plate 5724 surrounding the lifting bucket, and switch shafts 5725 fixed on the switch fixing plate 5724 and located on both sides of the lifting bucket 5721.

[0118] The flip plate 5722 is rotatably arranged relative to the lifting bucket 5721, and the lifting bucket 5721 is arranged around the medicine delivery box 571.

[0119] The tilting plate 5722 is pivotally connected to the switch shaft 5725. When the lifting bucket 5721 moves up and down, the tilting plate 5722 rotates to close or open the medicine delivery port 5711.

[0120] The drug pushing drive component 573 includes a drug pushing screw 5731, a motor pulley assembly 5732 for driving the drug pushing screw 5731 to rotate, a drug pushing nut 5733 threadedly connected to the drug pushing screw 5731, a drug pushing drive plate 5734 fixedly connected to the drug pushing nut 5733, a first drug pushing guide rod 5735 protruding from the drug pushing drive plate 5734 toward the drug delivery box 571, a drug pushing plate 5736 disposed at one end of the first drug pushing guide rod 5735 away from the drug pushing drive plate 5734, a drug pushing guide plate 5737, and a second drug pushing guide rod 5738 fixed to the drug pushing guide plate 5737 and extending upward.

[0121] The drug pushing guide plate 5737 is disposed between the drug pushing plate 5736 and the drug pushing drive plate 5734. A first guide sleeve 5739 is provided on the drug pushing guide plate 5737, and the first drug pushing guide rod 5735 passes through the first guide sleeve 5739.

[0122] The drug pushing drive plate 5734 is provided with a second guide sleeve 5740, and the second drug pushing guide rod 5738 passes through the second guide sleeve 5740.

[0123] The specific working process is as follows: When medicine needs to be dispensed, the motor pulley assembly 5732 drives the lead screw to rotate relative to the medicine-pushing nut 5733. The medicine-pushing nut 5733 and the medicine-pushing drive plate 5734 move downwards together, driving the first medicine-pushing guide rod 5735 and the medicine-pushing plate 5736 to move downwards. The first guide sleeve 5739 and the second guide sleeve 5740 respectively guide the first medicine-pushing guide rod 5735 and the second medicine-pushing guide rod 5738.

[0124] The shape and size of the push plate 5736 are the same as those of the delivery port 5711. While dispensing the medicine, the push plate 5736 is controlled to push the medicine downwards to prevent any medicine residue from remaining in the delivery box 571.

[0125] The heat-sealing assembly 58 is used to seal the medicine storage bag 200, and the bag transfer assembly 55 is used to move the medicine storage bag 200 from the bag opening assembly 56 to the heat-sealing assembly 58. Specifically, the heat-sealing assembly 58 and the bag opening assembly 56 are spaced apart along the X direction. When the transfer slide plate 552 is in the bag-removing position, the clamping transfer member 554 removes the medicine storage bag 200 from the second suction bag member 561. When the transfer slide plate 552 is in the medicine-filling and sealing position, the clamping transfer member 554 is located below the heat-sealing assembly 58.

[0126] The recycling component 59 is located below the heat-sealing assembly 58. The recycling component 59 is equipped with a recycling conveyor belt 591.

[0127] The medicine dispensing component 50 includes a medicine dispensing box 501 and a medicine dispensing slide rail 502 that drives the medicine dispensing box 501 to move up and down. The medicine dispensing box 501 is arranged adjacent to the recycling component 59.

[0128] The working process of the dispensing machine 100 of this utility model is as follows: the medicine box picking and placing component 3 is moved to the corresponding medicine box 2 by the vertical guide rail 30 and the horizontal guide rail 301 to pick up the medicine. The picked-up medicine is sent to the buffer box 42. After all the medicine in the same layer is picked up, the buffer box 42 moves above the buffer collection component 44 and drives the buffer pressing component 46 to press down, so that the medicine falls from the medicine receiving port 421 onto the horizontal conveyor belt 441. The above process is repeated until all the medicine is picked up.

[0129] By raising the buffer collection component 44 and moving it along the X direction, the horizontal conveyor belt 441 is driven to work, and the collected medicines can be sent into the medicine guide trough 574 and fall into the medicine receiving box under gravity.

[0130] The labeling machine 51 prints a label and sends it to the label table 52. The labeling and bag-taking assembly 54 rotates so that the label suction cup 543 faces downward and moves to pick up the label. Then, the labeling and bag-taking assembly 54 moves so that the bag suction cup 544 faces upward and moves until the label is pasted onto the medicine storage bag 200. At the same time, the bag suction cup 544 picks up the medicine storage bag 200 and moves downward so that the medicine storage bag 200 is separated from the bag supply component 53. Then, the labeling and bag-taking assembly 54 is rotated so that the medicine storage bag 200 faces the bag transfer assembly 55.

[0131] When the transfer slide plate 552 is in the bag-removing position, the first suction bag member 553 starts to suck up the medicine storage bag 200. Then the transfer slide plate 552 moves to the medicine-filling and sealing position, so that the first suction bag member 553 moves to the bag-opening assembly 56. The second suction bag member 561 sucks up the medicine storage bag 200 from the other side. The first suction bag member 553 and the second suction bag member 561 move in a direction away from each other. At the same time, the clamping drive plate 5632 moves, so that the clamping member 5631 clamps both sides of the medicine storage bag 200. At the same time, the two ends of the clamping medicine storage bag 200 move towards the middle, thereby opening the medicine storage bag 200.

[0132] Activate the drug delivery switch assembly 572 to expose the drug delivery port 5711, allowing the drug to fall into the storage container, and the pusher plate 5736 moves downward to ensure that there is no drug residue in the drug delivery box 571;

[0133] Then, the transfer slide plate 552 moves to the bag-retrieving position, the clamping transfer member 554 clamps the medicine bag 200, and the transfer slide plate 552 moves again to the medicine-filling and sealing position. The heat-sealing assembly 58 seals the medicine bag 200, and after sealing, it falls into the recycling member 59 and is further conveyed to the medicine-retrieving assembly 50 to complete the medicine dispensing. While the clamping transfer member 554 is handling the medicine bag 200 at the bag-opening assembly 56, the first suction bag member 553 is also sucking up another empty medicine bag 200. When the clamping transfer member 554 moves to the heat-sealing assembly 58, the first suction bag member 553 moves the medicine bag 200 to the bag-opening assembly 56, thus saving transfer time and improving transfer efficiency.

[0134] The dispensing machine 100 of this utility model, by setting up a medicine frame picking and placing component 3, can simultaneously realize the selection of medicine and the picking and placing of medicine frame 2, making the structure more compact; the dispensing buffer component 4, by setting up multiple buffer guide rails 41 and multiple buffer boxes 42, allows each layer of buffer box 42 to dispense medicine independently, resulting in higher efficiency; by setting up a labeling and bag picking component 54 on the packaging machine 5, the label picking, labeling, and bag picking operations can be completed simultaneously, making the structure more compact; by setting up a bag transfer component 55, the first bag suction component 553 and the clamping transfer component 554 can work synchronously, resulting in higher efficiency; the medicine loading component 57 of the packaging machine 5, by setting up a medicine pushing drive component 573, can deliver all the medicine in the medicine delivery box 571, making it less likely to produce residual medicine; by setting up a clamping component 563, only the clamping drive plate 5632 needs to be moved to clamp the medicine storage bag 200 and drive the two sides of the medicine storage bag 200 to move inward, which facilitates better medicine loading. The dispensing machine 100 of this invention can realize automated drug dispensing and packaging, with high efficiency and a high degree of automation.

[0135] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
