Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of medication dispensing equipment, and in particular to a medication dispensing cart. Background Technology
[0002] Before use, medicines often need to be prepared. Preparation refers to the process in the medical or pharmaceutical field of mixing, preparing or dispensing one or more drugs in a certain proportion and according to a doctor's prescription or a specific drug formula.
[0003] Medications needed for dispensing are usually stored in the storage room. When dispensing medications, they need to be transferred from the storage room to the dispensing room for dispensing, and then the prepared medications are transferred from the dispensing room to a temporary storage area for easy access by medical staff.
[0004] In existing related technologies, medications are generally transferred in and out of the dispensing room using trolleys. Specifically, medical staff need to classify the required medications and place them in medicine baskets, and then stack the medicine baskets containing different types of medications on the trolley. This allows medical staff to transfer a large number of medications at once using the trolley, reducing the need for repeated transfers.
[0005] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, hospital trolleys are generally procured centrally, resulting in a largely uniform specification across the hospital. However, the door widths of pharmacy rooms in different hospitals often vary, leading to a low compatibility between the trolley and the doorway. This can result in trolleys that are too wide colliding with the doorway or trolleys that are too narrow, making it difficult to transfer sufficient medications in a single operation. Consequently, transferring medications during dispensing becomes quite inconvenient for medical staff. Utility Model Content
[0006] To facilitate the transfer of medications by medical staff during dispensing, this application provides a medication dispensing cart.
[0007] The medicine dispensing cart provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] A medication dispensing cart includes a first frame and a second frame. The first frame is provided with a first placement plate, and the second frame is provided with a second placement plate. Both the first and second placement plates are used to place medications and / or instruments required for medication dispensing. The second frame slides along the width direction of the medication dispensing cart and is fitted to the first frame.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the second cart can slide towards or away from the first cart according to the width of the doorway of the dispensing room, thereby making the width of the dispensing cart match the width of the doorway. This helps to maximize the width of the dispensing cart while minimizing collisions with the inner wall of the doorway, allowing the dispensing cart to hold as many medicines as possible, thus facilitating the transfer of medicines by medical staff during dispensing.
[0010] Optionally, the first frame has a first positioning hole through it, and the second frame has a plurality of second positioning holes through it. The second positioning holes are connected to the first positioning hole by bolts passing through the first positioning hole and the second positioning holes.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, after the second frame slides to the required position, the distance between the first frame and the second workshop is locked by bolts passing through the first positioning hole and the second positioning hole, which helps to improve the structural stability of the dispensing cart when pushing the medicine.
[0012] Optionally, the first placement plate is provided with a plurality of telescopic grooves, which are distributed along the length of the dispensing cart and extend along the width of the dispensing cart. The second placement plate is provided with a plurality of telescopic rods, which slide and engage with each telescopic groove along the width of the dispensing cart.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the telescopic rod slides a corresponding distance along the telescopic groove according to the distance between the first frame and the second frame, so that the dispensing cart has enough space to place the medicines and / or instruments required for dispensing.
[0014] Optionally, the dispensing cart further includes a cover, which is integrally and continuously provided or has holes with an inner diameter smaller than the width of the telescopic groove, and the cover covers the first placement plate and / or the second placement plate.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the cover will seal the expansion joint, which will help reduce the occurrence of medicines or instruments falling out of the expansion joint.
[0016] Optionally, the material of the cover can be fabric, film, or sheet.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, medical staff can easily select the appropriate cover according to the medicines or instruments to be loaded.
[0018] Optionally, the medication cart further includes a clamping member, which is mounted on a first frame or a second frame, and is tightly fitted against a cover. The clamping member is elastic.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the clamping component is tightly fitted to the cover, which helps to reduce the occurrence of slippage and misalignment of the cover, thereby reducing the need for medical staff to maintain and adjust the cover.
[0020] Optionally, the medication cart further includes a shield, which is installed on the first placement plate or the second placement plate and is located on top of the first placement plate or the second placement plate.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solutions, it is beneficial to reduce the occurrence of medicine or medical device self-preparation carts falling off.
[0022] Optionally, the shield is rotatably fitted to the first placement plate or the second placement plate, and the medicine dispensing cart further includes a locking pin, one end of which is rotatably fitted to the first frame or the second frame, and the other end of which is used to abut against the shield.
[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, when loading or unloading medications onto the medication cart, the locking pin is rotated to disengage from the cover plate, and then the cover plate is rotated down, making it less likely to obstruct the loading and unloading of medications, thus facilitating the transfer of medications by medical staff during medication preparation.
[0024] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0025] 1. Based on the width of the doorway in the dispensing room, the second cart slides towards or away from the first cart, thereby making the width of the dispensing cart match the width of the doorway. This helps to maximize the width of the dispensing cart while minimizing collisions with the inner wall of the doorway, allowing the cart to hold a larger quantity of medications and facilitating the transfer of medications by medical staff during dispensing.
