[0081] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0082] During the operation of the automatic drug dispensing machine, all mechanisms work closely together to achieve efficient and precise drug dispensing. First, drugs are placed manually or by external equipment into the rectangular containers of the first and second movable drug box components of the temporary storage mechanism. The temporary storage mechanism performs preliminary classification and storage based on drug type, batch, and other information. When drug dispensing is required, the first and second drive motors drive the corresponding synchronous belts, moving the moving plate to a position close to the conveying mechanism. At this time, the L-shaped baffle mechanism of the flipping mechanism, driven by the flipping drive motor, adjusts to a suitable angle, guiding the drug smoothly into the first and second conveyor belt components. During the conveying process, if there is a deviation in drug position or a need for diversion, the cam plate component of the swing mechanism, driven by the drive motor, swings in a timely manner to correct the drug's posture and ensure it moves along the predetermined path. When the drug is conveyed to a specific position, such as before the filling station, the bottom plate drive motor of the pusher conveyor structure starts, driving the pusher plate to smoothly push the drug to the precise position, ready for filling. The robotic arm structure plays a flexible scheduling role throughout the process. The first and second robotic arms move rapidly on the overhead track according to the instructions of the control system, accurately grabbing medicines from the temporary storage mechanism and placing them into the conveying mechanism, or grabbing medicines from the end of the conveying mechanism and placing them into the drug loading equipment. It seamlessly connects with the conveying and pushing actions of other mechanisms, realizing the automation, efficiency and precision of the entire process of medicines from temporary storage to drug loading, effectively improving the drug management level of medical institutions, reducing labor costs, improving the accuracy and reliability of drug loading, and ensuring the safety of patients' medication.
