When the elevator is raised to the workbench surface, the disinfection trolley 13 can be pushed to be placed on the hydraulic elevator 22.

[0037] Grabbing the medicine bag 1 part:

[0038] The medicine bag 1 is conveyed from the conveying belt 2 to the industrial camera 3, the industrial camera 3 takes a photo to position the position of the medicine bag 1 on the conveying belt 2, at this time the conveying belt 2 normally flows and does not stop, after the position of the medicine bag 1 is calculated according to the photo positioning of the industrial camera 3, the electric suction cup 6 is moved to the medicine bag 1 by the mechanical hand 5 to suck the medicine bag 1, and then the medicine bag 1 is placed on the tray 7 on the transfer frame. The medicine bag 1 placing action needs to limit the placing range, according to the range of the tray 7 on the transfer frame, the coordinate range is limited based on the coordinate system of the mechanical hand 5, and the mechanical hand 5 needs to place the medicine bag 1 in the limited coordinate range in sequence.

[0039] Visual identification part:

[0040] A coordinate system is made based on the mechanical hand 5, the industrial camera 3 is also located in the coordinate system, there are detection sensors and encoders on the conveying belt 2 at the mechanical hand 5, the encoder has a rotating wheel, the rotating wheel is attached to the conveying belt 2 and rotates with the conveying belt 2. The encoder is in the coordinate system of the mechanical hand 5, and mainly functions to calculate the distance of the conveying line advancing, convert the distance into a signal and transmit the signal to the mechanical hand 5, so that the mechanical hand 5 can accurately calculate the coordinates of the medicine bag 1.

[0041] The medicine bag 1 flows on the conveying line, the detection sensor detects the arrival of the medicine bag 1, the encoder starts counting, converts the signal and sends the signal to the mechanical hand 5, the mechanical hand 5 calculates the position of the medicine bag 1 according to the signal of the encoder, moves along the medicine bag 1, and grabs the medicine bag 1. The detection sensor is preferably a proximity sensor.

[0042] Tray loading and unloading part:

[0043] The control makes the servo motor 8 rotate forward, the push plate 12 is moved to the tray 14 on the disinfection trolley 13 through the transmission of the synchronous wheel 9 and the synchronous belt 10, the control makes the swing cylinder 15 rotate, thereby driving the pull rod 16 to swing, the pull rod 16 can drive the first connecting rod 27 to swing, the first connecting rod 27 can drive the second connecting rod 17 to swing, thereby making the second connecting rod 17 inserted into the tray 14, and then the servo motor 8 reverses, the tray 14 is pulled out to the transfer frame through the transmission of the synchronous wheel 9 and the synchronous belt 10.

[0044] After the tray 7 on the transfer frame is filled with the medicine bags 1, the servo motor 8 is controlled to rotate forward, so as to push the tray 7 into the sterilization trolley 13, then the swing cylinder 15 is operated to move the second connecting rod 17 out of the tray 7, and the servo motor 8 is controlled to rotate reversely, so as to move the push plate 12 away from the sterilization trolley 13, thereby preventing the second connecting rod 17 from colliding with the sterilization trolley 13. Then the hydraulic lift 22 is controlled to operate, so as to move the next tray 14 to the third sensor, thereby continuing the work of loading the medicine bags 1 into the sterilization trolley 13. During the work of loading the medicine bags 1 into the sterilization trolley 13, the medicine bags 1 need to be placed from the tray 14 at the top end or the bottom end of the sterilization trolley 13.

[0045] The first proximity sensor 19 and the second proximity sensor 20 need to be aligned with the edge frame of the sterilization trolley 13 during installation. The first proximity sensor 19 can detect the upper limit of the sterilization trolley 13, and the second proximity sensor 20 can detect the lower limit of the sterilization trolley 13. That is, when the first proximity sensor 19 loses the signal, the sterilization trolley 13 is at the lowest position, and when the second proximity sensor 20 loses the signal, the sterilization trolley 13 is at the highest position. The third proximity sensor 21 is used to position the trays 14. When the hydraulic lift 22 is lifting, the third proximity sensor 21 loses the signal, and the hydraulic lift 22 is controlled to stop. At this time, the second connecting rod 17 can be inserted into the tray 14 to pull the tray 14.

[0046] During the replacement of the tray 7, the medicine bags 1 grabbed by the mechanical arm 5 need to be placed on the buffer shelf 18, and then placed on the tray 7 after the replacement of the tray 7 is completed. When the medicine bags 1 on the buffer shelf 18 are sucked, the industrial camera 3 can directly position the medicine bags 1 because the medicine bags 1 are not moved. Because the conveying belt 2 is continuously running, the medicine bags 1 on the conveying belt 2 and the buffer shelf 18 need to be alternately sucked and placed until there is no medicine bag 1 on the buffer shelf 18.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not to limit them. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments can still be modified, or some or all of the technical features can be replaced equivalently. These modifications or replacements do not change the essence of the corresponding technical solutions out of the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and they should be covered in the scope of the claims and the description of the present application.
