[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0026] Example 1;
[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 3To facilitate drug counting, this invention provides a technical solution: a pharmacy drug counter, primarily used for drug counting, comprising a counter body 1 and a discharge pipe 2. A support plate 9 for limiting the position is fixedly connected to the upper end of the discharge pipe 2. A photoelectric counter 10 is inserted into the upper end of the support plate 9. A cable 11 is detachably connected to the upper end of the photoelectric counter 10, with one end of the cable 11 snapped into the side of the counter body 1. The support plate 9 at the upper end of the discharge pipe 2 provides support and a suitable mounting position for the photoelectric counter 10, ensuring it is accurately installed in the appropriate location. When drugs enter the discharge pipe 2, the photoelectric counter 10 accurately calculates the number of drugs passing through the discharge pipe 2 by sensing changes in light obstruction or reflection caused by the drugs, thus counting the drugs. The counted data is transmitted to the counter body 1 via the cable 11, enabling the counter body 1 to acquire and process the counting data.
[0028] Example 2;
[0029] Please see Figure 1 To facilitate the handling of the device, a support foot 3 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the counting device body 1. A positioning connecting rod 16 is welded to the side of the discharge pipe 2. One end of the connecting rod 16 is bolted to the outer surface of the counting device body 1. A handle 17 for gripping is threaded to the side of the counting device body 1. The outer surface of the handle 17 has friction texture for anti-slip. A positioning limit frame 4 is snapped onto the outer surface of the support foot 3. A reset damping rod 5 is inserted into the inner wall of the limit frame 4. A reset spring 6 is sleeved on the outer surface of the damping rod 5. The connecting rod 16 strengthens the connection between the discharge pipe 2 and the counting device body 1, ensuring the stability of the discharge pipe 2 during operation and preventing it from shaking or falling off. At the same time, the operator can move the counting device body 1 by gripping the handle 17 and transport it to different working positions. The friction texture on the outer surface increases the friction when gripping and prevents the hand from slipping.
[0030] Example 3;
[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 4 To facilitate the transportation of medicines, a protective shell 7 for limiting is detachably connected to the outer surface of the limiting frame 4. An electromagnetic vibrating plate 8 is detachably connected to the upper end of the counting body 1. One end of the electromagnetic vibrating plate 8 is snapped into the upper end of the discharge pipe 2. An air outlet 12 for heat dissipation is opened on the side of the counting body 1. A filter screen 13 for filtration is snapped into the inner wall of the air outlet 12. A display screen 14 is detachably connected to the side of the counting body 1. A control button 15 is snapped into the lower end of the counting body 1.
[0032] When the device is used by the staff, the electromagnetic vibrating plate 8 generates electromagnetic vibration, which causes the medicine placed in it to move in an orderly manner towards the discharge pipe 2, realizing automatic feeding and arrangement of medicines and improving counting efficiency. At the same time, when the counting device body 1 is running, the heat generated by the operation of the counting device internal electronic components can be discharged to the external environment through the air outlet 12, which plays a heat dissipation role and ensures that the internal temperature of the counting device body 1 is within a suitable working range. With the help of the filter screen 13, dust and other impurities in the air are filtered during the hot air discharge process, preventing external dust from entering the interior of the counting device body 1 through the air outlet 12 and affecting the normal operation of electronic components. At the same time, the display screen 14 can intuitively display the working status of the counting device when the device is running, so that the staff can understand the counting status in real time.
[0033] All electrical components mentioned in this article are connected to an external main controller and 220V AC mains power, and the main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that provides control.
[0034] In this invention, the working steps of the device are as follows:
[0035] First, place the medicine to be counted into the electromagnetic vibrating plate 8, press the control button 15 at the lower end of the medicine counter body 1 to start the medicine counter, the electromagnetic vibrating plate 8 starts to work and generates electromagnetic vibration, so that the medicine moves in an orderly manner towards the discharge pipe 2. The medicine enters the discharge pipe 2, the photoelectric counter 10 senses the changes in light blocking or reflection when the medicine passes through, and accurately calculates the number of medicines that have passed through the discharge pipe 2. The photoelectric counter 10 transmits the counting data to the medicine counter body 1 through the cable 11. The medicine counter body 1 processes the counting data and displays it in real time on the display screen 14.
[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
