Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pharmaceutical moisture-proof technology, specifically to a drying device for disassembled pharmaceuticals. Background Technology
[0002] Breaking down medications into smaller doses or units refers to dividing a full package of medicine into smaller doses or units to meet a patient's short-term or specific dosage needs. This practice helps reduce medication waste and allows patients to take medication accurately according to their doctor's orders. Breaking down medications into smaller units is often necessary in various situations. For example, for medications that chronic patients need to take long-term, doctors may adjust the dosage based on the patient's condition and medication response. Additionally, for expensive medications, breaking down medications into smaller units can reduce the financial burden on patients. However, after medications are broken down, the outer seal of the packaging becomes ineffective, and prolonged storage can lead to moisture absorption, affecting the drug's performance. Therefore, medication drying devices are needed for preservation and periodic drying. Existing medication drying devices... This device typically consists of a drying cabinet. Repackaged medications are placed inside, and a fan with heating elements periodically blows hot air to prevent moisture absorption, thus achieving dry preservation. Traditional drying devices for repackaged medications place all medications in the same cabinet and dry them by blowing hot air. Retrieving one medication requires opening the entire cabinet door, affecting the storage of other medications. If the door is not completely closed, all medications inside will become damp. Having all medications in one cabinet is inconvenient for categorization and retrieval, especially for medications packaged in aluminum-plastic composite panels, where stacking and the hot air further exacerbate the problem. Therefore, we propose a new drying device for repackaged medications. Utility Model Content

The status of the handle 566 can also be used to determine if the sealing door 561 is properly closed, preventing the medicines from becoming damp due to an improperly closed door.
[0027] The working principle of the disassembled medicine drying device provided by this utility model is as follows: When drying disassembled medicines, first place the disassembled medicines inside the drying cabinet 1, deflect the handle 566 outwards to pull it out from inside the handle groove 565 until the lower end of the handle 566 is in contact with the rear end of the handle groove 565, then move the handle 566 downwards, causing the limiting post 563 to move downwards, the spring 564 to contract, the upper end of the limiting post 563 to leave the inside of the limiting hole, the sealing door 561 is no longer restricted, deflect the sealing door 561 outwards to open the sealing door 561, and quickly and smoothly pull out the placement rack 51 through the guide rail to place the disassembled medicines. Above the shelf 51, the aluminum-plastic composite medicines and bagged powder medicines, due to their thinner outer packaging edges, can be inserted into the left side of the slot 52 and remain upright, with gaps between the medicines. Bottled medicines can be placed on the right side of the shelf 51. After placing the disassembled medicines, push the shelf 51 back into the storage slot 2, move the handle 566 down to move the limiting post 563 down, then close the sealing door 561, release the handle 566, and the spring 564 will rebound without force until the upper end of the limiting post 563 is inserted into the locking slot 562. Then turn the handle 566 to engage the handle slot 56. Inside compartment 5, the sealing door 561 is engaged. Limited by the handle groove 565, the handle 566 and the limiting post 563 will not move. The sealing door 561 is also checked for tightness by observing whether the handle 566 is in the handle groove 565, preventing the medicine from getting damp due to an improperly closed sealing door 561. Then, the microcontroller 7 controls the temperature and humidity sensor 6 to monitor the status of the disassembled medicines in each compartment 2 in real time. When drying is required, the microcontroller 7 controls the heating wire 552 and fan 553 to operate. The heating wire 552 dissipates heat, and the fan 553 draws in outside air. After being heated by heating wire 552, external air enters the placement tank 2 through guide pipe 551. At this time, fan 2 555 works, drawing in and accelerating the external air. When the high-speed external air passes through the inside of guide 3, the air velocity and pressure inside guide 3 are high, allowing the air inside placement tank 2 to enter guide 3 more quickly through exhaust pipe 554 and then be blown out of drying cabinet 1, achieving rapid air circulation. At the same time, ultraviolet lamp 556 works, irradiating the surface of the disassembled medicine with ultraviolet radiation, evaporating the moisture inside the disassembled medicine, and further accelerating the drying efficiency of the disassembled medicine.
[0028] It is worth noting that the microcontroller 7 disclosed in the above embodiments is an STM32F103RCT6 microcontroller, the heating wire 552 is a YHYJ heating wire, the first fan 553 and the second fan 555 are both TG4020 fans, the ultraviolet lamp 556 is a UVLN81 T ultraviolet lamp, and the temperature and humidity sensor 6 is an HC2A-I C102 temperature and humidity sensor. The microcontroller 7 controls the operation of the heating wire 552, the ultraviolet lamp 556, the temperature and humidity sensor 6, the first fan 553 and the second fan 555 using methods commonly used in the prior art.
