By providing the disc distributor, the angle precision when the medicine hub driving motor 35 rotates once can be ensured, and the misalignment of medicine cutting can be prevented. The rotating mold core 33 includes a column body and a conical body. A plurality of fixed blocks 331 are arranged at equal intervals on the side surface of the column body. The distance between every two adjacent fixed blocks 331 is the width of a tablet, which can ensure that each medicine smoothly slides down between the two adjacent fixed blocks 331 along the side surface of the column body. In order to enable the medicine cutting piece 26 to cut the medicine, each fixed block 331 is provided with a medicine cutting groove 332, and a cutting port for the medicine cutting piece 26 to cut the medicine is arranged at the position corresponding to the medicine cutting groove 332 on one side of the shell 32. As shown in Figure 6 According to the length and width of the medicine to be cut, the corresponding rotating mold core is customized, and the position of the medicine cutting groove 332 is customized according to the dose of the medicine to be cut. If the medicine to be cut is a half tablet, the position of the medicine cutting groove 332 is the middle position of the medicine, which can ensure that the cut medicine meets the requirements. In order to facilitate the discharge of the cut medicine from the medicine box, the shell 32 is provided with a medicine outlet.

[0031] In order to prevent the debris of the medicine to be cut from affecting the health of the user, a dust collection device is further installed in the protective shell 13 for collecting the debris of the medicine.

[0032] On the basis, in order to prevent the cut medicine from flowing out from the medicine outlet, the medicine box is further provided with a medicine blocking plate 34, each column of fixed blocks 331 is further provided with a medicine blocking groove above the medicine cutting groove 332, and the shell 32 is provided with a medicine blocking opening for the medicine blocking plate 34 to be inserted in the corresponding position of the medicine blocking groove. It should be noted that the arc length of the medicine blocking plate 34 is greater than the diameter of the medicine cutting piece 26, which can ensure that the medicine above the cut medicine does not slide down when the cut medicine flows out, and the medicine blocking plate 34 can block the position directly above the medicine outlet, so that the uncut medicine does not directly fall out of the medicine outlet. The uncut medicine between the two adjacent columns of fixed blocks 331 is not blocked by the medicine blocking plate 34 and moves downward, and is cut when the medicine hub driving motor 35 drives the rotating die core 33 to rotate to the position of the medicine cutting piece 26. The medicine outlet guiding groove 41 is further installed in the corresponding position of the shell 32 medicine outlet in the medicine box fixing position of the medicine blocking plate 34, so that the cut medicine is discharged from the medicine outlet guiding groove 41 into the medicine storage box.

[0033] When the medicine cutting piece 26 needs to be withdrawn and the medicine box needs to be replaced, the horizontal adjusting screw rod 283 is rotated to move the horizontal adjusting movable seat 282 close to the horizontal fixed seat, so as to provide space for the movement of the medicine box, and the original medicine box is disassembled and replaced with a medicine box that needs to cut medicine. After the new medicine box is installed, the medicine cutting piece 26 is first rotated to be horizontal with the cutting opening, and then the horizontal adjusting screw rod 283 is rotated to insert the medicine cutting piece 26 into the cutting groove. Then, the switch is turned on, and the key components work under the control of the control device.

[0034] The above specific embodiments further illustrate the purpose, technical scheme and beneficial effects of the present application, and it should be understood that the above are only specific embodiments of the present application and are not used to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
