Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a device for quickly dragging a medicine tank. Background Technology

[0002] Automated pharmacies are gradually replacing manual dispensing due to their advantages such as high dispensing efficiency, accuracy, and reduced labor intensity. The dispensing tray is the unit module for storing and automatically dispensing medications. The number of medicine boxes in the tray is limited. When the number of medicine boxes in the tray is insufficient to meet the prescription requirements, refilling is necessary. This requires removing the tray from the tray rack and placing it on the refilling table. After refilling, the tray, now full, is placed back on the tray rack. The process of removing the tray from the tray rack and placing it on the dispensing table, as well as returning it to the tray rack, is completed by a mechanical device. Currently, existing technology suffers from slow tray handling speeds. Utility Model Content

[0023] This invention provides a device for quickly dragging a medicine tank.

[0024] like Figure 1-4As shown, the rapid-drive medicine tank device provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes an X-axis sliding module 10, a Y-axis sliding module 30, a Z-axis sliding module 20, and a medicine tank dragging mechanism 40. The medicine tank dragging mechanism 40 is disposed on the Y-axis sliding module 30 and can slide along a first direction. The Y-axis sliding module 30 is disposed on the Z-axis sliding module 20 to drive the Y-axis sliding module 30 to slide along a second direction. The Z-axis sliding module 20 is disposed on the X-axis sliding module 10 to drive the Z-axis sliding module 20 to slide along a third direction. The first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0025] In this embodiment, when the medicine tank dragging mechanism 40 moves to a position close to the medicine tank under the action of the axis sliding module, the Y-axis sliding module 30, and the Z-axis sliding module 20, the medicine tank dragging mechanism 40 can be connected with the locking groove at the bottom of the medicine tank to realize the movement of the medicine tank and improve efficiency.

[0026] Among them, the X-axis sliding module 10 is used to provide X-axis movement, the Z-axis sliding module 20 is used to provide Z-axis movement, the Y-axis sliding module 30 is used to provide Y-axis movement, and to drag the medicine tank onto or push the medicine tank away from the Y-axis sliding module 30.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 2 The Y-axis sliding module 30 includes a Y-axis frame 31 and a Y-axis drive assembly. The Y-axis frame 31 has a sliding cavity 32 extending along a first direction. A Y-axis guide rail 33 is provided inside the sliding cavity 32. The Y-axis frame 31 is connected to the Z-axis sliding module 20. The medicine tank dragging mechanism 40 is slidably disposed in the sliding cavity 32 and connected to the Y-axis drive assembly, so that the medicine tank dragging mechanism 40 can slide within the sliding cavity 32. In this embodiment, a guide ramp is provided on the Y-axis guide rail 33 to improve its guiding effect.

[0028] The Y-axis drive assembly includes a Y-axis motor 34, a drive pulley 35, a Y-axis synchronous belt 36, and a driven pulley 37. The two ends of the Y-axis synchronous belt 36 are simultaneously fitted onto the drive pulley 35 and the driven pulley 37. The Y-axis motor 34 is connected to the drive pulley 35. The Y-axis motor 34 drives online interaction.

[0029] Please refer to this again. Figure 1 The Z-axis sliding module 20 includes a Z-axis column 21, a Z-axis motor 22 mounted on the Z-axis column 21, and a Z-axis slide rail 23. The Y-axis sliding module 30 is connected to the Z-axis slide rail 23. The X-axis sliding module 10 includes an X-axis column 11, a drive shaft 12 extending along the Y-axis column, and an X-axis motor 13 mounted on the drive shaft 12.

[0030] During operation, the device moves along the X and Z axes to the corresponding position of the medicine tank requiring replenishment. The medicine tank dragging mechanism 40 of the Y-axis sliding module 30 moves to the bottom of the medicine tank via the Y-axis motor 34. The medicine tank dragging mechanism 40 then extends its hook 43 and inserts it into the rectangular slot of the medicine tank. The Y-axis motor 34 then drags the medicine tank onto the Y-axis sliding module 30. Next, the device moves along the X, Y, and Z axes to a position near the dispensing platform, and then pushes the medicine tank onto the replenishment platform via the medicine tank dragging mechanism 40. After replenishment, the device drags the medicine tank from the dispensing platform onto the Y-axis sliding module 30, then moves it along the X and Z axes to the corresponding position on the medicine tank rack, and finally pushes the medicine tank onto the rack, completing the medicine tank placement. In this solution, the medicine tank only needs to be dragged once from the medicine tank rack or dispensing platform to be placed on the Y-axis module, thus saving time.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 4 The medicine trough dragging mechanism 40 includes a mounting base plate 41, a drive motor 42 mounted on the mounting base plate 41, and a hook 43 connected to the drive motor 42. The drive motor 42 drives the hook 43 to move along a second direction and to the bottom of the medicine trough. A sensing sensor 44 is mounted on the mounting base plate 41. The medicine trough inventory assembly is equipped with a laser sensor to count the number of medicine boxes on the existing medicine trough, and the sensing sensor 44 can be used for stopping the hook 43 at its upper and lower limit positions.

[0032] It is understood that the specific principles and connection methods of each motor and sensor can be applied using existing technologies, and this application will not elaborate on such existing technologies.
