[0024] The technical solutions in this embodiment will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in this solution without creative effort are within the protection scope of this solution.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment designs a cold chain transportation system for drugs or vaccines, including a cold storage 1, a transportation channel, a work area, and related equipment set in these areas.

[0027] The cold storage 1 is equipped with a retrieval platform 2 and a loading / unloading robot 3. Medicines or vaccines placed on shelves in the cold storage 1 can be manually retrieved and placed onto the retrieval platform 2, or they can be retrieved and placed onto the retrieval platform 2 by an automated robot. The loading / unloading robot 3 can be an automated robot to facilitate the placement of medicines or vaccines from the retrieval platform 2 onto the conveyor belt 5.

[0028] Several retrieval refrigerators 4 are provided in the work area. Specifically, the work area has several workstations, and each workstation is equipped with a retrieval refrigerator 4. When there are two or more workstations, there are also two or more retrieval refrigerators 4. When there are multiple retrieval refrigerators 4, they are arranged along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 5. Each retrieval refrigerator 4 has an openable and closable door on its front side to allow medical personnel to open the door and retrieve the medicine or vaccine from the refrigerator 4. A back opening is provided on the back side of each retrieval refrigerator 4, which communicates with the conveyor channel to allow medicine or vaccine from the conveyor belt 5 to be fed into the retrieval refrigerator 4 through the back opening. The interior space of each retrieval refrigerator 4 is connected to the cold storage 1 through the conveyor channel. The interior space of each retrieval refrigerator 4, the conveyor channel, and the cold storage 1 are all isolated from the natural environment to maintain the internal temperature of all three.

[0029] A conveyor belt 5 is installed within the conveying channel to transport drugs or vaccines. The conveyor belt 5 may include multiple segments arranged along the conveying direction, with adjacent segments being independent yet interconnected to facilitate continuous transport of drugs or vaccines. A conveyor belt base 10 is installed below the conveyor belt 5 to support it, and the conveyor belt 5 is driven by a conveyor motor 11.

[0030] One end of the conveyor belt 5 extends into the cold storage 1 so that the loading and unloading robot 3 can grab the medicine or vaccine on the retrieval platform 2 and put it onto the conveyor belt 5; the other end of the conveyor belt 5 extends to the retrieval refrigerator 4 to transport the medicine or vaccine to the retrieval refrigerator 4, and cooperates with the guide plate 6 to guide the medicine or vaccine into the retrieval refrigerator 4.

[0031] The wall of the conveying channel is provided with an insulation layer, and the entire insulation layer forms a tubular insulation cover 7, thereby achieving insulation inside the conveying channel.

[0032] Each retrieval refrigerator 4 is equipped with a guide plate 6, a chute 9, and a barcode scanner on its back side. The chute 9 is located on the side of the conveyor belt 5, with its upper end connecting to the guide plate 6 and its lower end connecting to the interior space of the retrieval refrigerator 4. The guide plate 6 is positioned above the conveyor belt 5, and each guide plate 6 is connected to a distribution motor 8. The distribution motor 8 controls the horizontal rotation of the guide plate 6 to allow medicines or vaccines to be introduced into the retrieval refrigerator 4 or transported to another retrieval refrigerator 4.

[0033] A barcode scanner is installed on the guide plate 6. The barcode scanner is used to scan the code on the drug or vaccine so that the PLC controller or industrial computer connected to the barcode scanner can control the forward and reverse rotation of the distribution motor 8, thereby realizing the rotation control of the guide plate 6.

[0034] In this embodiment, the cold chain conveying system for drugs or vaccines operates as follows: When drugs or vaccines in cold storage 1 are placed onto the retrieval platform 2 by a person or a robot, the loading / unloading robot 3 starts and grabs the drugs or vaccines from the retrieval platform 2 onto the conveyor belt 5, which then transports them out of cold storage 1. When the conveyor belt 5 transports the drugs or vaccines to the barcode scanner, the barcode scanner scans the code on the surface of the drugs or vaccines, thereby controlling the rotation of the guide plate 6 as needed. When it is necessary to guide the drugs or vaccines into the retrieval freezer 4 located at the barcode scanner, the distribution motor 8 rotates and tilts the guide plate 6 relative to the conveyor belt 5, allowing the drugs or vaccines to slide into the chute 9 along the guide plate 6 and into the retrieval freezer 4, thus distributing the drugs or vaccines. When it is necessary to guide the drugs or vaccines into the retrieval freezer 4 located at the barcode scanner, the distribution motor 8 remains stationary and the guide plate 6 remains parallel to the conveyor belt 5, allowing the drugs or vaccines to be transported to the next workstation.

[0035] The above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation; it is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom remain within the scope of this technology.
