Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pharmaceutical sorting equipment technology, and in particular to an end device for pharmaceutical sorting in the medical industry. Background Technology
[0002] During the drug sorting process, sorters will carefully check the name, specifications, quantity and other information of the drugs according to the requirements of the order or delivery note to ensure that each drug can be sorted out accurately according to the requirements. The sorting work is usually carried out in a dedicated sorting area, which is classified according to the dosage form, use and storage conditions of the drugs to facilitate sorters to quickly find and retrieve the required drugs.
[0003] When sorting medicines by sorters, the sorters need to check each order and manually select medicines from the inventory. This process is relatively time-consuming, especially when the order volume is large or there are many types of medicines. The sorting speed may be significantly affected, resulting in relatively low efficiency. At the same time, although sorters will try their best to ensure accuracy, human factors such as fatigue and negligence may still lead to medicine sorting errors, which in turn affect the safety of patients' medication and the efficiency of medical services. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an end-point device for drug sorting in the medical industry, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] An end-point device for drug sorting in the medical industry includes a frame. Housings are fixedly mounted on the top and bottom of the frame. A motor is fixedly mounted on one side of the bottom of the frame and electrically connected to an external main controller via a connecting cable. A fixed suction cup assembly and a movable suction cup assembly are respectively disposed on the bottom of the housing near the motor. The fixed suction cup assembly includes a fixed sleeve fixedly mounted on one side of the bottom of the frame, and a telescopic rod is movably mounted inside the fixed sleeve. The movable suction cup assembly includes a slider movably mounted on the bottom of the frame, and a cylinder is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the slider. The cylinder is connected to an external air pump via an air pipe.
[0007] As a further optimization of this utility model, a sliding groove is provided inside the frame.
[0008] As a further optimization of this utility model, two photoelectric sensors are fixedly installed on the frame near the slide groove. The photoelectric sensors are electrically connected to an external main controller via connecting wires. An air pipe connector is fixedly installed on the frame between the two photoelectric sensors.
[0009] As a further optimization of this utility model, a lead screw is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor;
[0010] Therefore, a lead screw is installed at the output end of the motor, which provides the basic conditions for driving the slider.
[0011] As a further optimization of this utility model, a compression spring is inserted and installed inside the fixed sleeve. The top of the compression spring abuts against the top of the fixed sleeve, and the bottom of the compression spring abuts against the top of the telescopic rod. A suction cup is fixedly installed at the bottom of the telescopic rod, and the suction cup is connected to one end of the air pipe connector through an air pipe.
[0012] As a further optimization of this utility model, an L-shaped limiting plate is fixedly installed on the top of the slider, and the upper part of the L-shaped limiting plate is slidably installed in the slide groove. The slider is also threadedly connected to the lead screw, and a suction cup is also fixedly installed on the output end of the cylinder.
[0013] Based on this, a horizontally movable cylinder is used in conjunction with a fixed sleeve and telescopic rod, along with two suction cups to pick up and sort medicines. Both fixed suction cup assemblies and movable suction cup assemblies can be used independently.

[0022] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0023] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the present invention provides an end device for sorting medicines in the medical industry, including a frame 2. A housing 1 is fixedly installed on the top and bottom of the frame 2. A motor 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the bottom of the frame 2, and the motor 3 is electrically connected to an external main controller through a connecting wire. A fixed suction cup assembly 15 and a movable suction cup assembly 16 are respectively provided on the bottom of the housing 1 near the motor 3. The fixed suction cup assembly 15 includes a fixed sleeve 6 fixedly installed on one side of the bottom of the frame 2. A telescopic rod 7 is movably installed inside the fixed sleeve 6. The movable suction cup assembly 16 includes a slider 4 movably installed on the bottom of the frame 2. A cylinder 5 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the slider 4, and the cylinder 5 is connected to an external air pump through an air pipe.
[0024] A slide groove 8 is provided inside the frame 2. Two photoelectric sensors 9 are fixedly installed on the frame 2 near the slide groove 8. The photoelectric sensors 9 are electrically connected to an external main controller via connecting wires. An air pipe connector 10 is fixedly installed on the frame 2 between the two photoelectric sensors 9. A lead screw 11 is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor 3. The lead screw 11 at the output end of the motor 3 provides the basic conditions for driving the slider 4. A compression spring 14 is inserted and installed inside the fixed sleeve 6. The top of the compression spring 14 abuts against the top of the fixed sleeve 6, and the bottom of the compression spring 14 abuts against the telescopic rod 7. At the top, a suction cup 13 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the telescopic rod 7. The suction cup 13 is connected to one end of the air pipe connector 10 through an air pipe. An L-shaped limiting plate 12 is fixedly installed at the top of the slider 4. The upper part of the L-shaped limiting plate 12 is slidably installed in the slide groove 8. The slider 4 is also threadedly connected to the lead screw 11. A suction cup 13 is also fixedly installed at the output end of the cylinder 5. The horizontally movable cylinder 5, together with the fixed fixed sleeve 6 and the telescopic rod 7, and the two suction cups 13, can be used to pick up and sort medicines. Both sets of fixed suction cup assemblies 15 and movable suction cup assemblies 16 can be used independently.
[0025] It should be noted that this utility model is an end device for sorting medicines in the medical industry. When sorting medicines, it can work with a robotic arm and a vision camera 17 to move the suction cup 13 at one end of the telescopic rod 7 and the suction cup 13 at the output end of the cylinder 5 to a designated position. Then, the vision camera 17 can detect and judge whether it is the required medicine. If it is determined to be the required medicine, an external air pump can be used to supply air so that the suction cup 13 can adsorb the medicine, and the robotic arm can be used to transfer and sort the medicine. When it is necessary to move the cylinder 5, the motor 3 can be started. Then, the output end of the motor 3 drives the lead screw 11 to rotate. The lead screw 11 rotates in the screw hole in the slider 4. Since the L-shaped limiting plate 12 on the slider 4 is slidably installed in the slide groove 8, the axial movement of the slider 4 can be restricted. Thus, with the cooperation of the lead screw 11, the slider 4 is horizontally displaced below the frame 2, which in turn causes the slider 4 to drive the cylinder 5 to move horizontally. This enables the cylinder 5 to drive the suction cup 13 at the output end to move, so that medicines in different positions can be picked up and sorted.
