Detailed Implementation

[0026] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 9 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a sorting and conveying system includes: a reading device 1, a transfer chamber 2, and an opening device 3. The reading device 1 is used to read information on liquid bags; the transfer chamber 2 has a placement cavity 20 for placing liquid bags; the transfer chamber 2 is movably arranged along a preset trajectory; the transfer chamber 2 is signal-connected to the reading device 1, and the transfer chamber 2 is used to transfer the liquid bags in the placement cavity 20 to a target position according to the information read by the reading device 1; at least a portion of the opening device 3 is movably arranged, and at least a portion of the opening device 3 is used to open the cover 212 of the transfer chamber 2 that has moved to the target position, so that the liquid bags in the placement cavity 20 move to the target position.

[0028] As can be seen, the sorting and conveying system provided by this utility model, through the simple configuration of a reading device 1, a transfer chamber 2, and an opening device 3, allows the reading device 1 to read information from the liquid bags. The transfer chamber 2, based on the information read by the reading device 1, transfers the liquid bags in the placement cavity 20 to the target location. Thus, by automatically reading the information on the liquid bags, this system can quickly and accurately identify the destination of the liquid bags, improving sorting speed. Furthermore, it can automatically transport the infusion bags to the correct target location based on the information, significantly reducing the error rate caused by human factors. Simultaneously, the transfer chamber 2 moves along a preset trajectory, ensuring that the liquid bags are accurately transported to the target location. The transfer chamber 2 is communicatively connected to the reading device 1, enabling it to automatically transport the liquid bags to the target location based on the read information, achieving fully automated operation. In addition, at least part of the opening device 3 is movably configured to open the cover 212 of the transfer chamber 2 when it reaches the target location, allowing the liquid bags in the placement cavity 20 to move smoothly to the target location. Therefore, the automatic control of the opening device 3 not only reduces human intervention and direct contact between personnel and equipment, improving the safety of the operation process, but also reduces the risk of accidents that may occur during operation. Simultaneously, by automatically controlling the opening device 3, the waiting time of the liquid bags during transmission can be effectively reduced, ensuring rapid response and processing. The opening device 3 can quickly and accurately open the cover 212 of the transmission chamber 2, ensuring that the liquid bags can move to the target position in a timely manner, thereby improving the operational efficiency of the entire sorting and conveying system. Furthermore, the automatic opening action of the opening device 3 significantly reduces the workload of staff, especially in cases of frequent opening. In summary, this sorting and conveying system, through automated reading and sorting of infusion bags, not only significantly improves work efficiency, reduces human error, and enhances safety, but also achieves precise positioning and flexible adaptability. It effectively solves the technical problem in existing technologies where pre-prepared infusion bags in hospital preparation centers require manual sorting and conveying, resulting in low work efficiency.

[0029] The target location mentioned above refers to the specific receiving workstation 7 of the liquid bag that needs to be transported, as determined based on the liquid bag information.

[0030] Furthermore, there are multiple receiving workstations 7, which are spaced apart. For example, multiple receiving workstations 7 are arranged sequentially along the floors, with one receiving workstation 7 on each floor.

[0031] In actual operation, the receiving station 7 to which the liquid bag should be delivered is determined based on the information of the liquid bag, and the receiving station 7 is taken as the target location.

[0032] Furthermore, the liquid bag is equipped with a unique identifier (such as a barcode or RFID tag). The liquid bag with the unique identifier is first moved to the reading device 1, where the reading device 1 quickly and accurately reads the information from the unique identifier (such as a barcode or RFID tag) on ​​the liquid bag. Next, the liquid bag is moved into the placement space of the transfer chamber 2. Subsequently, the transfer chamber 2, based on the target position of the liquid bag read by the reading device 1, transports the liquid bag to the target position along a preset trajectory. When the transfer chamber 2 reaches the target position, at least a portion of the opening device 3 immediately operates, opening the cover 212 of the transfer chamber 2. At this time, the liquid bag in the placement cavity 20 slides down to the target position, thus completing the transport. It is worth noting that the transfer chamber 2 does not need to stop when it reaches the target position. Through the cooperation of the opening device 3 and the transfer chamber 2, as the transfer chamber 2 moves along the preset trajectory, at least a portion of the opening device 3 opens the cover 212 of the transfer chamber 2, allowing the liquid bag in the placement cavity 20 to quickly and accurately slide down to the target position. When transfer chamber 2 completes its transport and moves away from chamber device 3, its cover 212 automatically closes. This means that transfer chamber 2 does not need to stop when moving to the target position. Through the cooperation of the opening device 3 and transfer chamber 2, the liquid bag can quickly and accurately slide to the target position during the movement of transfer chamber 2. This design enables the sorting and conveying system to operate continuously, improving overall operational efficiency.

[0033] The preset trajectory mentioned above refers to the predetermined path along which the transfer chamber 2 moves within the sorting and conveying system. This path is pre-planned based on the system design and the target location to which the liquid bags need to be transported. The preset trajectory ensures that the transfer chamber 2 can move along a fixed route and accurately deliver the liquid bags to their destination.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the sorting and conveying system also includes: a conveying device 4, a reading device 1 is mounted on the conveying device 4 and is located near the input end of the conveying device 4; the output end of the conveying device 4 is positioned toward the transfer chamber 2, and the conveying device 4 is used to convey liquid bags into the placement cavity 20 of the transfer chamber 2.

[0035] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the conveying device 4 includes a conveying assembly 41 and a guiding assembly 42. The conveying assembly 41 has a first conveying channel 410 for conveying liquid bags, which extends horizontally. The liquid bags are placed within the first conveying channel 410. The input end of the first conveying channel 410 forms the input end of the conveying device 4. A reading device 1 is disposed on the conveying assembly 41 and is located near the input end of the first conveying channel 410. The reading part of the reading device 1 is located above the first conveying channel 410 to facilitate reading information from a unique identifier (such as a barcode or RFID tag) on ​​the liquid bag. The guiding assembly 42 has a guiding channel 420 for conveying liquid bags. The input end of the guiding channel 420 is connected to the output end of the first conveying channel 410, so that the guiding channel 420 communicates with the first conveying channel 410. The output end of the guiding channel 420 forms the output end of the conveying device 4. The conveying height of the guiding channel 420 gradually decreases along the extension direction from the input end to the output end of the guiding channel 420. When the liquid bag enters the first conveying channel, the conveying assembly 41 conveys the liquid bag along the extension direction of the first conveying channel 410. When the liquid bag enters the guide channel 420 from the output end of the first conveying channel 410, since the guide channel 420 is inclined downwards, the liquid bag can smoothly slide from the input end of the guide channel 420 to the output end of the guide channel 420 by its own gravity, and finally slide into the placement cavity 20 of the transfer chamber 2. With this structural arrangement, the liquid bag can be smoothly moved to the guide channel 420 by the horizontal conveying of the first conveying channel 410. Furthermore, by designing the conveying height of the guide channel 420 to gradually decrease (i.e., designing the guide channel to be inclined downwards), the liquid bag's own gravity can be used to assist in the conveying, thereby reducing power consumption and improving conveying efficiency. At the same time, the inclined design of the guide channel 420 can effectively utilize vertical space, reducing the need for horizontal space, thus reducing the footprint of the entire conveying device. Moreover, the combination of horizontal and inclined conveying allows the conveying device 4 to complete the liquid bag conveying task within a smaller space.

[0036] Preferably, the reading unit of the reading device 1 is a barcode reader, which can automatically read the barcode, QR code or other identifiable mark on the liquid bag, thereby quickly obtaining the information on the liquid bag.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the sorting and conveying system further includes: a first blocking device 5, wherein a first blocking portion 51 of the first blocking device 5 is retractably disposed on the conveying device 4, and the first blocking portion 51 of the first blocking device 5 is close to the output end of the conveying device 4; the first blocking device 5 has a first blocking state and a first avoidance state; when the first blocking device 5 is in the first blocking state, the first blocking portion 51 is in an extended state, and the first blocking portion 51 protrudes at least partially from the conveying device 4 to block the liquid bag; when the first blocking device 5 is in the first avoidance state, the first blocking portion 51 is in a retracted state, and the first blocking portion 51 avoids the liquid bag, allowing the liquid bag to be conveyed into the placement cavity 20 of the transfer chamber 2. With this structural arrangement, by setting the first blocking device 5, and the first blocking portion 51 of the first blocking device 5 being retractably disposed, it is possible to precisely control when the liquid bag enters the placement cavity 20 of the transfer chamber 2. Furthermore, it can prevent the risk of the liquid bag falling to the ground before the transfer chamber 2 reaches the output end of the conveying device 4, and it can also prevent multiple liquid bags from entering the transfer chamber 2 simultaneously, effectively preventing collisions or blockages.

[0038] Furthermore, the first blocking device 5 is disposed on the guide assembly 42 and is located near the output end of the guide channel 420; the first blocking part 51 of the first blocking device 5 is retractably disposed on the guide channel 420; when the first blocking device 5 is in the first blocking state, the first blocking part 51 is in the extended state, so that the first blocking part 51 protrudes from the placement surface of the guide channel 420 to prevent the liquid bag from continuing to slide down; when the first blocking device 5 is in the first avoidance state, the first blocking part 51 is in the retracted state, so that the top surface of the first blocking part 51 is lower than the placement surface of the guide channel 420, thereby allowing the first blocking part 51 to avoid the liquid bag and allow the liquid bag to slide into the placement cavity 20 of the transfer chamber 2.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the sorting and conveying system also includes a second blocking device 8, which is disposed on the conveying assembly 41 and located near the output end of the conveying assembly 41. The second blocking part 81 of the second blocking device 8 is retractably disposed on the first conveying channel 410. The second blocking device 8 has a second blocking state and a second avoidance state. When the second blocking device 8 is in the second blocking state, the second blocking part 81 extends, protruding beyond the placement surface of the first conveying channel 410 to prevent the liquid bag from entering the guide channel 420. When the second blocking device 8 is in the second avoidance state, the second blocking part 81 retracts, lowering its top surface below the placement surface of the first conveying channel 410, thereby avoiding the liquid bag and allowing it to enter the guide channel 420 from the output end of the first conveying channel 410. With this structural arrangement, the second blocking device 8 prevents the liquid bag from entering the guide channel 420 prematurely, effectively controlling the conveying of the liquid bag and ensuring that the liquid bags are conveyed sequentially.

[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the sorting and conveying system also includes a third blocking device 9, which is disposed on the conveying assembly 41 and located between the reading device 1 and the second blocking device 8. The third blocking part 91 of the third blocking device 9 is retractably disposed on the first conveying channel 410. The third blocking device 9 has a third blocking state and a third avoidance state. When the third blocking device 9 is in the third blocking state, the third blocking part 91 extends, protruding beyond the placement surface of the first conveying channel 410 to prevent the liquid bag from continuing to move along the extension direction of the first conveying channel 410. When the third blocking device 9 is in the third avoidance state, the third blocking part 91 retracts, lowering its top surface below the placement surface of the first conveying channel 410, thereby avoiding the liquid bag and allowing it to continue moving forward. With this structural arrangement, by setting the third blocking part 91, it is possible to ensure that the liquid bag can move orderly to the guide channel 420 after the information is read, preventing the liquid bag from accumulating in the first conveying channel 410. Meanwhile, the coordinated operation of the first blocking device 5, the second blocking device 8, and the third blocking device 9 enables precise control during the liquid bag conveying process, improving the stability and reliability of the conveying system. This effectively prevents collisions or blockages of the liquid bags during conveying, reducing errors. Furthermore, by precisely controlling the state of each blocking component, it ensures that the liquid bags are conveyed according to a predetermined sequence and / or time intervals, improving the overall efficiency of the system.

[0041] Furthermore, in the initial state, the third blocking device 9 is in the third avoidance state, the second blocking device 8 is in the second blocking state, and the first blocking device 5 is in the first blocking state. Alternatively, in the initial state, the third blocking device 9 is in the third avoidance state, the second blocking device 8 is in the second avoidance state, and the first blocking device 5 is in the first blocking state. Specifically, the initial states of the first blocking device 5, the second blocking device 8, and the third blocking device 9 can be adjusted according to the actual situation.

[0042] Preferably, in the initial state, the third blocking device 9 is in the third avoidance state, the second blocking device 8 is in the second blocking state, and the first blocking device 5 is in the first blocking state.

[0043] In the initial state, the process of starting to transport the liquid bag is as follows:

[0044] When the first liquid bag enters the input end of the first conveying channel 410, the conveying assembly 41 conveys the first liquid bag along the extension direction of the first conveying channel 410. After the first liquid bag passes the reading device 1, the reading part of the reading device 1 reads the information in the unique identifier (such as a barcode or RFID tag) on ​​the first liquid bag, and then the first liquid bag continues to move towards the guide channel 420. When the first liquid bag is about to reach the second blocking device 8, the second blocking device 8 switches from the second blocking state to the second yielding state to allow the first liquid bag to enter the guide channel 420. Then the first liquid bag begins to slide down according to its own weight. When it slides to the position of the first blocking device 5, the first blocking part 51 blocks the first liquid bag. When the transfer chamber 2 reaches the output end of the guide channel 420, and the inlet of the transfer chamber 2 corresponds to the output end of the guide channel 420 (that is, when the position reached by the transfer chamber 2 allows the liquid bag to smoothly enter the placement cavity 20), the first blocking device 5 switches from the first blocking state to the first yielding state to allow the first liquid bag to smoothly slide into the placement cavity of the transfer chamber 2.

[0045] Specifically, when the first liquid bag reaches the position of the first blocking part 51, the second blocking device 8 switches from the second avoidance state to the second blocking state, preventing the second liquid bag from entering the guide channel 420. At the same time, the third blocking device 9 remains stationary. When the second liquid bag enters the position of the second blocking device 8, the third blocking device 9 switches from the third avoidance state to the third blocking state, preventing the third liquid bag from continuing to advance.

[0046] When there is no first liquid bag at the first blocking device 5 (i.e., when the first liquid bag has successfully entered the placement cavity 20 of the transfer chamber 2), and the first blocking device 5 is in the first blocking state, the second blocking device 8 switches from the second blocking state to the second yielding state. When the second liquid bag enters the guide channel 420 and passes the second blocking device 8, the second blocking device 8 immediately returns to the second blocking state. At the same time, the third blocking device 9 switches from the third blocking state to the third yielding state to allow the third liquid bag to continue moving forward. When the third liquid bag passes the third blocking device 9, the third blocking device 9 immediately switches back to the third blocking state. The above steps are repeated sequentially to ensure that the liquid bags are transported in order, thereby reducing collisions or blockages during the transport process, lowering the error rate, and improving the overall efficiency of the system.

[0047] Specifically, the sorting and conveying system also includes a first sensor, a second sensor, and a third sensor. The first sensor, the second sensor, and the third sensor are installed on the conveying device 4. The first sensor is used to detect the extension and retraction state of the first blocking part 51, the second sensor is used to detect the extension and retraction state of the second blocking part 81, and the third sensor is used to detect the extension and retraction state of the third blocking part 91.

[0048] The first, second, and third sensors are all connected to the control device, which monitors the extension and retraction status of each blocking component in real time through the first, second, and third sensors, thereby accurately controlling the status of the first blocking device 5, the second blocking device 8, and the third blocking device 9.

[0049] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the sorting and conveying system also includes: a conveying device 6, which is located on one side of the reading device 1 and extends vertically; a conveying bin 2 is located on the conveying part of the conveying device 6 so that the conveying device 6 can drive the conveying bin 2 to move along a preset trajectory; wherein, an opening device 3 is located on the conveying device 6 and is located on the side of the conveying device 6 closer to the target position.

[0050] Furthermore, the transmission device 6 is located on one side of the output end of the conveying device 4.

[0051] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, there are multiple receiving workstations 7, which are spaced apart along the extension direction of the transmission device 6. The transmission device 6 includes a lifting support 61 and a transmission belt 62. The lifting support 61 extends vertically, and the transmission belt 62 is fitted onto the lifting support 61 and rotates cyclically along the extension direction of the lifting support 61. The transmission chamber 2 is mounted on the transmission belt 62 and moves along the trajectory of the transmission belt 62. With this structural arrangement, the lifting support 61 provides vertical support for the transmission belt 62, ensuring that the transmission belt 62 can move vertically, thereby ensuring that the transmission chamber 2 can reach the designated receiving workstation 7 (i.e., the target position). At the same time, the movement of the transmission chamber 2 along the trajectory of the transmission belt 62 enables the transmission chamber 2 to work cyclically, thereby ensuring improved conveying efficiency.

[0052] Preferably, multiple receiving workstations 7 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the number of floors, and the transmission device 6 extends along the height of the building so that the transmission chamber 2 can reach the top floor. Each floor has one receiving workstation 7.

[0053] Preferably, the transmission device 6 is a hoist.

[0054] Furthermore, after the transfer chamber 2 delivers the liquid bag to the receiving workstation 7 where the liquid bag needs to be delivered, it continues to move along the trajectory of the conveyor belt 62, thus returning to the output end of the conveying device 4 to continue the conveying work.

[0055] The output end of the conveying device 4 is located on the same side of the conveyor belt 62 as each receiving workstation 7, and the output end of the conveying device 4 is positioned opposite to each receiving workstation 7.

[0056] Furthermore, there are multiple transmission chambers 2, which are evenly spaced along the extension direction of the transmission device 6. Each transmission chamber 2 is sequentially encoded along the extension direction of the transmission device 6.

[0057] Furthermore, the transmission device 6 also includes a servo motor 63, which drives the transmission belt 62 to move, thereby driving the multiple transmission chambers 2 to move.

[0058] Furthermore, the servo motor 63 has an encoder for detecting the rotational position and speed of the motor shaft. Simultaneously, the encoder stores coded information from multiple transmission compartments 2.

[0059] Specifically, such as Figures 4 to 7As shown, the transfer chamber 2 includes a transfer chamber body 21 and rollers 22. The transfer chamber body 21 has a chamber body 211 and a chamber cover 212. The chamber body 211 has a placement cavity 20, and the chamber body 211 has a first transfer port 2110 communicating with the placement cavity 20. The chamber cover 212 is movably disposed on the first transfer port 2110 to block or avoid the first transfer port 2110. The rollers 22 are rotatably disposed on the chamber cover 212. With this structural arrangement, the placement cavity 20 in the chamber body 211 effectively prevents contact between the liquid bag and the transfer device 6, avoiding frictional damage that may occur during high-speed operation, protecting the liquid bag, and reducing the risk of liquid bag damage.

[0060] Furthermore, the top of the cover 212 is rotatably connected to the top of the body 211, and the bottom of the cover 212 is a free end, so that the cover 212 can rotate relative to the top of the body 211, thereby blocking or avoiding the first transmission port 2110.

[0061] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the chamber 211 also has a first inlet 2111, which is connected to the placement cavity 20 and is positioned opposite to the first transfer port 2110. The first inlet 2111 is used for the liquid bag to enter the placement cavity 20, and the first transfer port 2110 is used for the liquid bag to exit from the placement cavity 20 and enter the target location. The first inlet 2111 forms the inlet of the transfer chamber 2.

[0062] Furthermore, the first inlet 2111 is positioned at a higher height than the first transfer port 2110, causing the container 211 to be tilted. This allows the liquid bag to slide to the target position under its own weight when the container cover 212 avoids the first transfer port 2110. This eliminates the need for additional force or auxiliary equipment, improving the efficiency and accuracy of the item's descent.

[0063] Furthermore, the transfer chamber 2 also includes a first elastic element 23. One end of the first elastic element 23 is connected to the chamber body 211, and the other end is connected to the chamber cover 212. When the chamber cover 212 blocks the first transfer port 2110, the first elastic element 23 is in a first natural state; when the chamber cover 212 avoids the first transfer port 2110, the first elastic element 23 is in a first stretched state. Thus, the self-restoring force of the first elastic element 23 enables the automatic reset function of the chamber cover 212, and also ensures that the chamber cover 212 can tightly cover the chamber body 211 when no external force is applied, preventing the liquid bag from falling off during transfer and improving the stability of the transported items.

[0064] Specifically, such as Figures 4 to 7As shown, the opening device 3 includes: a guide member 31, which is movably disposed on the transmission device 6. The guide member 31 extends along the extension direction of the transmission device 6, and the guide surface 310 of the guide member 31 protrudes from the transmission device 6. The guide surface 310 is used to contact the roller 22 to guide the roller 22. The guide member 31 has an initial state and an extended state. When the guide member 31 is in the initial state, the guide member 31 avoids the roller 22, and the compartment cover 212 is in the closed state, thereby blocking the first transmission port 2110. When the guide member 31 is in the extended state, the guide member 31 extends toward the roller 22, and the guide surface 310 contacts the roller 22, so that the compartment cover 212 is in the open state, thereby avoiding the first transmission port 2110.

[0065] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the guide member 31 has a first guide segment 311, a second guide segment 312, and a third guide segment 313 connected in sequence, and the first guide segment 311, the second guide segment 312, and the third guide segment 313 are arranged sequentially along the height direction of the transmission device 6. The guide surfaces of the first guide segment 311 and the third guide segment 313 are on the same plane, and the guide surfaces of the second guide segment 312 protrude from the guide surfaces of the first guide segment 311 and the third guide segment 313. The guide surfaces of the first guide segment 311, the second guide segment 312, and the third guide segment 313 form the guide surface 310 of the guide member 31.

[0066] When the guide member 31 is in the extended state, it extends towards the roller 22. The roller 22 first contacts the guide surface of the first guide section 311, thus guiding the roller 22 towards the guide surface of the second guide section 312. As the roller 22 rotates from the guide surface of the first guide section 311 to the guide surface of the second guide section 312, the cover 212 rotates upward, thereby avoiding the first transmission port 2110 (i.e., the cover 212 opens). At this time, the first elastic member 23 is in the first stretched state. When the roller 22 rotates from the guide surface of the second guide section 312 to the guide surface of the third guide section 313, as the roller 22 gradually returns to its initial state from its height, the cover 212 rotates downward under the restoring force of the first elastic member 23, thereby blocking the first transmission port 2110 (i.e., the cover 212 closes). At this time, the first elastic member 23 is in the first natural state. When roller 22 leaves the guide surface of the third guide section 313, guide member 31 returns to its initial state.

[0067] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the opening device 3 further includes a first drive assembly 32, which is mounted on the transmission device 6 and located on the side of the guide member 31 away from the roller 22. The first drive assembly 32 is drivenly connected to the guide member 31 to extend or retract the guide member 31. Specifically, the first drive assembly 32 drives the guide member 31 to be in the extended state or to return the guide member 31 from the extended state to the initial state.

[0068] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the opening device 3 also includes: a mounting component 33 and a connecting part 34. The mounting component 33 is mounted on the transmission device 6, and the first drive component 32 is disposed on the mounting component 33. One end of the connecting part 34 is connected to the guide member 31, and the other end of the connecting part 34 is movably disposed on the mounting component 33. The guide member 31 is movably disposed on the mounting component 33 through the connecting part 34.

[0069] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first drive assembly 32 includes: a first drive member 321 and a cam 322. The first drive member 321 is mounted on the mounting assembly 33. The drive end of the first drive member 321 is driven to connect with the cam 322 so that the cam 322 can be rotated by the first drive member 321. When the cam 322 contacts the guide member 31, it drives the guide member 31 to move toward the roller 22, so that the guide member 31 is in the extended state. The reset member 323 is disposed on the connecting part 34 and is used to switch the guide member 31 from the extended state to the initial state.

[0070] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the mounting assembly 33 includes a mounting base 331, two mounting seats 332, and a mounting plate 333. The mounting base 331 is mounted on the transmission device 6, specifically on the lifting bracket 61 of the transmission device 6. The mounting base 331 extends along the extension direction of the transmission device 6, and its mounting surface is opposite to the receiving workstation 7. The two mounting seats 332 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the mounting base 331 on its mounting surface, and both mounting seats 332 protrude from the mounting base 331. Each mounting seat 332 has a connecting hole, and the extension direction of the connecting hole is perpendicular to the extension direction of the mounting base 331. There are two connecting parts 34, each corresponding to one of the two mounting seats 332. One end of each connecting part 34 is connected to the guide member 31, and the other end of each connecting part 34 passes through the corresponding connecting hole. Mounting plate 333 is mounted on the mounting surface of mounting base 331. Mounting plate 333 is located between two mounting seats 332. Mounting plate 333 and a mounting seat 332 located at the bottom end of mounting base 331 form a mounting space. At least part of the first driving member 321 is mounted in the mounting space, and the driving end of the first driving member 321 passes through mounting plate 333 and is connected to cam 322.

[0071] Furthermore, the reset member 323 is a second elastic member, and there are two second elastic members. The two second elastic members are respectively provided in correspondence with the two connecting parts 34. Each second elastic member is sleeved on the corresponding connecting part 34, and each second elastic member is located on the end of the corresponding connecting part 34 away from the guide member 31. One end of each second elastic member abuts against the connecting part 34, and the other end of each second elastic member abuts against the corresponding mounting base 332.

[0072] The second elastic element has a compressed state and a second natural state. When the guide 31 is in the initial state, the second elastic element is in the second natural state. When the cam 322 contacts the guide 31 and the guide 31 is in the extended state, the connecting part 34 moves toward the guide 31, and at this time the second elastic element is in the compressed state. When the cam 322 is not in contact with the guide 31, the second elastic element, relying on its own restoring force, drives the connecting part 34 to move away from the guide 31, thereby driving the guide 31 to return to its initial state.

[0073] Specifically, there are multiple opening devices 3, and each opening device 3 is set up in a one-to-one correspondence with a multiple receiving workstation 7. Each opening device 3 is set opposite to each receiving workstation 7, and at least a part of each opening device 3 is located above the corresponding receiving workstation 7.

[0074] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 8As shown, the sorting and conveying system also includes a guide plate 100 extending along the extension direction of the conveying device 6. The guide plate 100 is disposed on the conveying device 6 and is disposed opposite to the opening device 3. Specifically, the guide plate 100 is disposed on the lifting bracket 61. The conveying bin 2 also includes at least one set of guide wheels 24, consisting of two guide wheels 24, which are spaced apart on the bin body 211 along the thickness direction of the guide plate 100. A guiding engagement portion adapted to the guide plate 100 is formed between the two guide wheels 24, and the guiding engagement portion guides and engages with the guide plate. Specifically, when the roller 22 contacts the guide surface 310 of the guide member 31, the guide plate 100 is engaged in the gap between the two guide wheels 24, both guide wheels 24 are in contact with the guide plate 100, and the two guide wheels 24 move along the extension direction of the guide plate 100. With this structural design, by setting guide wheels 24 and cooperating with guide plates 100, it can be ensured that the transfer chamber 2 can unload materials stably during the process of the opening device 3 opening the chamber cover 212.

[0075] When the transfer chamber 2 finishes unloading, it passes completely through the guide plate 100.

[0076] Furthermore, there are multiple guide plates 100, and each guide plate 100 is configured in a one-to-one correspondence with a multiple opening device 3.

[0077] In this embodiment, the sorting and conveying system further includes a control device, which is connected to the reading device 1, the transfer chamber 2, and the opening device 3 respectively. The control device is used to receive and analyze the information of the liquid bag read by the reading device 1, and to control at least part of the movement of the transfer chamber 2 and the opening device 3 according to the information of the liquid bag read by the reading device 1.

[0078] Furthermore, the reading device 1 is signal-connected to the transmission chamber 2 via a control device.

[0079] Specifically, the information read by the reading device 1 includes the receiving station 7 (i.e., the target location) to which the liquid bag needs to be delivered, the type of liquid in the liquid bag (e.g., drug name, ingredients, batch number of the liquid bag, storage requirements of the liquid bag), etc. The read information is then sent to the control device. After receiving the information from the reading device 1, the control device analyzes it and controls the transport chamber to move to the receiving station 7 (i.e., the target location) based on the read information. When the transport chamber reaches the preset position, the control device controls at least part of the opening device 3 to move so that the roller 22 of the transport chamber 2 contacts the guide surface of the guide 31 of the opening device 3, thereby opening the cover 212 and allowing the liquid bag loaded in the transport chamber 2 to slide down to the receiving station 7 (i.e., the target location), completing the sorting and transport operation.

[0080] Furthermore, the control device is also signal-connected to the servo motor 63. The control device sends corresponding pulse signals according to the number of the transmission compartment 2 to control each transmission compartment 2 to move to a designated position. By sending specific pulse signals, the servo motor 63 can precisely control the position of each transmission compartment 2, ensuring that the transmission compartment 2 can move accurately to the designated position.

[0081] The following example illustrates the working process of a servo motor 63 driving a transmission chamber 2 to a target position via a conveyor belt 62:

[0082] When the transfer chamber 2 needs to transport a liquid bag to the target location, the control device reads the encoded information of the transfer chamber 2 stored in the encoder to determine its current position. Knowing the current position of the transfer chamber 2, the control device sends a corresponding first pulse signal based on the transfer chamber 2's number. The servo motor receives the first pulse signal from the control device and controls the movement of the conveyor belt 62 according to the number and frequency of the first pulse signals. This moves the transfer chamber 2 to the output end of the conveying device 4.

[0083] After the liquid bag slides into the placement cavity 20 of the transfer chamber 2, the control device sends a second pulse signal corresponding to the number of the transfer chamber 2 according to the target position of the liquid bag. After receiving the second pulse signal sent by the control device, the servo motor 63 controls the movement of the conveyor belt 62 according to the number and frequency of the second pulse signal. This ensures that the transfer chamber 2 moves accurately to the designated position.

[0084] During the movement of the conveyor belt 62, the encoder continuously monitors the rotational position and speed of the servo motor 63 shaft. The encoder feeds this information back to the control device, which adjusts the motion parameters of the servo motor 63 in real time based on the encoder feedback, ensuring that the conveyor chamber 2 moves accurately to the designated position. Furthermore, the encoder feedback forms a closed-loop control system, ensuring that the servo motor drives the conveyor belt in the intended manner.

[0085] Furthermore, the control device is also connected to the first blocking device 5, the second blocking device 8, and the third blocking device 9 respectively, so as to control the movement of the first blocking device 5, the second blocking device 8, and the third blocking device 9 through the control device.

[0086] Specifically, such as Figure 9 As shown, the receiving workstation 7 includes: a workstation body 71, a receiving chute 72, a display screen 73, and a movable receiving box 74. The workstation body 71 has a receiving space. The output end of the receiving chute 72 is located within the receiving space, and the input end of the receiving chute 72 faces the transmission device 6. The receiving height of the receiving chute 72 gradually decreases from its input end to its output end, thus tilting the receiving chute 72. The display screen 73 is mounted on the workstation body 71 and is signal-connected to the control device. The display screen 73 receives signals from the control signal indicating the arrival of liquid bags, the operating status of the sorting and conveying system, and information about the liquid bags read by the reading device 1. Based on the received information, the display screen 73 can issue a notification of the arrival of the liquid bags and emit an audible and visual alert to remind staff to pick them up and deliver them to the designated location. Simultaneously, the display screen 73 allows for querying and tracking information such as the receipt and dispatch of liquid packaging bags and the operating status of the equipment. The receiving box 74 is disposed in the accommodating space inside the workstation body 71, and the receiving box 74 is located below the output end of the receiving chute 72. The receiving box 74 is used to receive the liquid bag coming out from the output end of the receiving chute 72.

[0087] Specifically, the sorting and conveying system also includes a fourth sensor and a fifth sensor, both of which are connected to the control device. The fourth sensor is installed on the bin cover 212 to detect the open and closed state of the bin cover 212 (i.e., the state of avoiding the first transmission port 2110 and blocking the first transmission port 2110). The fifth sensor is installed at the input end of the receiving chute 72 to sense whether a liquid bag has fallen into the receiving chute 72. When the fifth sensor senses a signal, it will feed back to the control device to confirm that the liquid bag has been successfully unloaded.

[0088] Furthermore, there are multiple fourth sensors, each corresponding to one of the multiple transmission chambers 2. There are also multiple fifth sensors, each corresponding to one of the multiple receiving workstations 7.

[0089] Specifically, the sorting and conveying system also includes a sensing device connected to the control device. The sensing device is located at the input end of the conveying device 4 to detect whether a liquid bag has entered the conveying device 4 and feeds the detected information back to the control device. The control device analyzes the feedback and selects whether to start the sorting and conveying system. Simultaneously, after the liquid bag delivery is completed, the control system can also compare the number of liquid bags detected by the sensing device with the data detected by each of the fifth sensors to ensure that the infeed and outfeed quantities are consistent, guaranteeing the accuracy of the liquid bag output.

[0090] Specifically, the sorting and conveying system also includes a terminal, which is connected to the control device to receive information sent by the control device for later data analysis.

[0091] The working process of the sorting and conveying system is as follows (taking the sorting and distribution of hospital infusion bags as an example):

[0092] First, when the first infusion bag enters the input end of the conveying device 4, the sensor detects the bag and sends a feedback to the control device, which then starts the sorting and conveying system. Simultaneously, the control device reads the encoded information of each transfer chamber 2 stored in the encoder to determine its current position. Based on task priority and the position information of the transfer chambers 2, the control device schedules multiple transfer chambers 2 to move sequentially to the output end of the conveying device 4.

[0093] Secondly, when the conveying device 4 moves the first infusion bag to the reading device 1, the reading device 1 reads the information on the infusion bag and feeds the read information back to the control device. At the same time, the first infusion bag continues to move forward. When the first infusion bag is about to reach the second blocking device 8, the second blocking device 8 switches from the second blocking state to the second avoidance state so that the first infusion bag can continue to move forward. When the first infusion bag moves to the position of the first blocking device 5, the first blocking part 51 blocks the first infusion bag. When it is detected that one of the multiple transmission chambers 2 has reached the output end of the conveying device 4, the first blocking device 5 switches from the first blocking state to the first avoidance state so that the first infusion bag can smoothly slide into the placement cavity 20 of the transmission chamber 2.

[0094] Specifically, when the first infusion bag reaches the first blocking part 51, the second blocking device 8 switches from the second avoidance state to the second blocking state, preventing the second infusion bag from entering the guide channel 420. Simultaneously, the third blocking device 9 remains stationary. When the second infusion bag enters the position of the second blocking device 8, the third blocking device 9 switches from the third avoidance state to the third blocking state, preventing the third infusion bag from continuing forward. When there is no first infusion bag at the first blocking device 5 (i.e., when the first infusion bag successfully enters the placement cavity 20 of the transfer chamber 2), and the first blocking device 5 is in the first blocking state, the second blocking device 8 switches from the second blocking state to the second avoidance state. When the second infusion bag enters the guide channel 420 and passes the second blocking device 8, the second blocking device 8 immediately returns to the second blocking state. Simultaneously, the third blocking device 9 switches from the third blocking state to the third avoidance state to allow the third infusion bag to continue forward. When the third infusion bag passes the third blocking device 9, the third blocking device 9 immediately switches to the third blocking state. The above steps are repeated sequentially to ensure that multiple infusion bags are delivered in order.

[0095] Once the first infusion bag successfully slides into the placement cavity 20 of the transfer chamber 2, the control device sends a pulse signal corresponding to the number of the transfer chamber 2 to the servo motor 63, based on the information of the receiving workstation 7 (i.e., the target location) to which the first infusion bag needs to be delivered and the corresponding coding information of the transfer chamber 2. Upon receiving the pulse signal, the servo motor 63 controls the movement of the conveyor belt 62 according to the number and frequency of the pulse signal. This ensures that the transfer chamber 2 moves accurately to the designated receiving workstation 7 (i.e., the target location).

[0096] During the movement of the conveyor belt 62, the encoder continuously monitors the rotational position and speed of the servo motor 63 shaft. The encoder feeds this information back to the control device, which adjusts the motion parameters of the servo motor 63 in real time based on the encoder feedback, ensuring that the conveyor chamber 2 moves accurately to the designated position. Furthermore, the encoder feedback forms a closed-loop control system, ensuring that the servo motor drives the conveyor belt in the intended manner.

[0097] When the transfer chamber 2 containing the first infusion bag moves to a preset position, the control device controls at least part of the opening device 3 corresponding to the receiving workstation 7 (i.e., the target position) to which the first infusion bag needs to be delivered, so that the roller 22 of the transfer chamber 2 contacts the guide surface of the guide member 31 of the opening device 3, thereby opening the chamber cover 212, so that the first infusion bag loaded in the transfer chamber 2 slides down onto the receiving chute 72 of the receiving workstation 7 (i.e., the target position) to which it needs to be delivered, and then the first infusion bag slides down along the receiving chute 72 into the receiving box 74, thereby completing the sorting and conveying of the first infusion bag.

[0098] When the first infusion bag slides onto the receiving chute 72 of the receiving workstation 7 (i.e., the target position) to which it needs to be delivered, the fifth sensor senses the first infusion bag and sends feedback to the control device. At the same time, when the transfer chamber 2 moves away from the opening device 3 corresponding to the receiving workstation 7 (i.e., the target position) to which the first infusion bag needs to be delivered, the chamber cover 212 automatically closes, and then the transfer chamber 2 continues to move with the conveyor belt.

[0099] While the first infusion bag is being transported, multiple infusion bags, such as the second and third, will sequentially enter multiple transfer chambers, with each infusion bag corresponding to one transfer chamber 2. The control device will generate corresponding pulse signals based on the receiving workstation 7 (i.e., the target location) to which each infusion bag needs to be delivered and the encoding information of the corresponding transfer chamber 2, thereby ensuring that each infusion bag reaches the receiving workstation 7 (i.e., the target location). The specific working process is the same as the sorting and transporting process of the first infusion bag described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0100] This utility model provides a sorting and conveying method applicable to the sorting and conveying system described in the above embodiments.

[0101] Furthermore, the control device controls the transfer chamber 2, which contains the target liquid bag, to move to the target position via the control transfer device 6.

[0102] Furthermore, the control device controls the transmission device 6 to move the transmission chamber 2 containing the target liquid bag to the target position by generating a pulse signal corresponding to the transmission chamber 2 on the servo motor 63 of the transmission device 6.

[0103] Furthermore, after the transfer chamber 2 containing the target liquid bag has finished unloading, the control device will reset the pulse count corresponding to the transfer chamber 2 to zero and re-record the position.

[0104] Specifically, the sorting and conveying method also includes: when the target liquid bag is moved to the target location, the sorting and conveying system issues a reminder signal to prompt the staff to collect the target liquid bag.
