However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0034] Secondly, the term "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.
[0035] Example
[0036] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 This embodiment provides a portable medicine storage device, including a refrigerator cabinet 1, multiple shelves 2 inside it, and a cabinet door. The refrigerator cabinet of this device is an upright refrigerator cabinet. The top and / or bottom of the shelf 2 are provided with shielding components 3. This device can provide shielding components 3 on the top or bottom of the shelf 2, or on both the top and bottom sides. Any method that can surround the shelf 2 by shielding components 3 can be implemented. The specific setting method is set according to the space and size of the refrigerator cabinet 1 and the shelf 2.
[0037] The cabinet door includes multiple sub-doors 4, each of which corresponds to a shelf 2. For easy opening and closing, a handle or groove is provided on the sub-door 4. When the sub-door 4 is opened, the medicine on a shelf 2 can be taken out or put in. To improve the sealing, an EPDM rubber sealing strip is installed in a groove pre-cut on the edge of the sub-door 4. When the door is closed, the sealing strip is squeezed and deformed, filling the gap between adjacent sub-doors 4 and preventing the loss of cold air.
[0038] The blocking component 3 includes:
[0039] The sliding plate 31 slides along the thickness direction of the refrigerator cabinet body 1. More specifically, tracks are fixed on the two inner walls of the refrigerator cabinet body 1 near the door, and the two ends of the sliding plate 31 slide on the tracks.
[0040] The folding component 32 is connected at one end to the sliding plate 31 and at the other end to the inner wall of the refrigerator cabinet 1. More specifically, the folding component 32 can be made of plastic accordion cover, fiber fabric sewn into a continuous folding shape, etc.
[0041] A drive mechanism is used to drive the sliding plate 31 to slide.
[0042] The specific process of this device is as follows: After medical staff determine the location of the medicine to be retrieved, they operate the drive mechanism to move the sliding plate 31 towards the cabinet door, and the folding component 32 unfolds accordingly, covering the top and bottom of the shelf 2. Then, they open the corresponding sub-door 4 to retrieve the medicine. This device, by changing the overall cabinet door into multiple sub-doors 4, combined with the covering component 3 at the top and bottom of the shelf 2, greatly reduces the exposed area of the refrigerator's internal space when retrieving medicine, effectively reducing the loss of cold energy.
[0043] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 3 The drive mechanism includes:
[0044] The swing arm 33 has one end rotatably connected to the inner wall of the refrigerator cabinet 1 via a pivot 34. More specifically, the pivot 34 is fixedly connected to the swing arm 33, and the pivot 34 rotates on the inner wall of the refrigerator cabinet 1 via a bearing.
[0045] The second swing arm 35 has one end rotatably connected to the sliding plate 31 via a pin, and the other end rotatably connected to the other end of the first swing arm 33 via a pin. Both the first swing arm 33 and the second swing arm 35 are made of stainless steel and have been polished, which is not only beautiful but also corrosion resistant. The swing arm does not need to be very thick, as long as the structural strength is guaranteed.
[0046] More specifically, both swing arm 1 33 and swing arm 2 35 rotate in the horizontal direction, reducing the space occupied in the vertical direction, making the internal layout of the refrigerator more compact and reasonable, and making it easier to arrange more shelves 2 in a limited space to increase the storage capacity of medicines.
[0047] Among them, swing arm 33 and swing arm 35 form a V-shaped structure;
[0048] The drive mechanism also includes a power mechanism for driving the swing arm 33 to rotate;
[0049] The specific working process of the drive mechanism is as follows: When medicines need to be taken out or placed, the power mechanism is activated to rotate the shaft 34, and the first swing arm 33 rotates accordingly. Since the first swing arm 33 and the second swing arm 35 form a V-shaped structure, the second swing arm 35 pushes the sliding plate 31 to slide outward along the thickness direction of the refrigerator cabinet 1, and at the same time the folding component 32 unfolds. The above structure is used to drive the sliding plate 31 to slide, which occupies little space. By driving the sliding plate 31 through the V-shaped structure, the action of the blocking component 3 is precisely controlled. When medicines are taken out or placed, the folding component 32 can be quickly unfolded to effectively block the top and bottom of the shelf 2.
[0050] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The power mechanism includes:
[0051] The extension 36 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 34. It is made of stainless steel and is fixed to the rotating shaft 34 by welding or keying. An elongated hole is provided along the length of the extension 36.
[0052] The telescopic assembly 37 has a push shaft 38 fixed at its output end; the push shaft 38 is slidably connected to the extension member 36. More specifically, the telescopic assembly 37 can adopt a structure such as a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or electric push rod that can drive the push shaft 38 to make linear motion.
[0053] The specific operation process of the power mechanism is as follows: When the telescopic component 37 is activated, its output end pushes the push shaft 38 to move within the elongated hole of the extension member 36. Since there is an angle between the moving trajectory of the push shaft 38 and the extension member 36, the resulting component force causes the extension member 36 to drive the rotating shaft 34 to rotate, which in turn drives the swing arm 33 to rotate, ultimately realizing the movement of the sliding plate 31 and the folding component 32. The linear motion of the telescopic component 37 and the special connection between the extension member 36 and the push shaft 38 are used to realize the rotation drive of the rotating shaft 34. Compared with directly driving the rotating shaft 34, the stability and reliability of power transmission are improved.
[0054] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 1 The bottom of the refrigerator cabinet 1 is equipped with casters 5, which are made of high-strength nylon. This material is wear-resistant and has a certain shock absorption performance. Each caster 5 is fixed to the bottom of the refrigerator cabinet 1 by a metal bracket. The metal bracket is connected by welding to ensure the connection is firm. One caster 5 is installed at each of the four corners or corresponding positions at the bottom of the refrigerator cabinet 1 to make the refrigerator more stable during movement. Some casters 5 are also equipped with a braking device, which can be braked by a foot pedal to brake the caster 5, making it convenient to operate when the refrigerator needs to be fixed.
[0055] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 5The shelf 2 is made of multiple round rods welded into a grid. The round rods are made of stainless steel, which has good corrosion resistance and strength and can withstand the weight of the medicines. Argon arc welding is used to weld the multiple round rods into a grid structure. The welds are uniform and firm, ensuring the overall stability of the shelf. The size of the grid is designed according to the size of common medicine packaging boxes, which not only facilitates the placement of medicines but also ensures the circulation of cold air in the refrigerator. In addition, the round rods are slightly tilted upwards on the side near the cabinet door to prevent the medicines from falling off the shelf 2.
[0056] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 2 and Figure 5 The refrigerator cabinet 1 has support plates 6 fixed on both sides of the inner wall near the cabinet door. At least one elastic element 7 is fixed on the support plate 6. In this embodiment, there are two elastic elements 7, and the two elastic elements 7 face the same direction. In this way, one end of the rack 2 needs to abut against the inner wall of the refrigerator cabinet 1. Alternatively, the two elastic elements 7 can be set to be opposite and the rack 2 can be fixed by the arc-shaped notch.
[0057] Among them, the elastic element 7 is tightly attached to the outer wall of the round rod part, the elastic element 7 is made of a material that can undergo elastic deformation, and the elastic element 7 has an arc-shaped notch;
[0058] During installation, the placement rack 2 is moved downwards towards the support plate 6. When the round rod of the placement rack 2 contacts the top of the elastic element 7, the elastic element 7 undergoes elastic deformation due to compression until the round rod falls into the arc-shaped notch. At this time, the arc-shaped notch of the elastic element 7 tightly fits the outer wall of the round rod, completing the installation of the placement rack 2. During installation, the elastic deformation of the elastic element 7 and the arc-shaped notch reduce the installation difficulty of the placement rack 2 and improve the installation efficiency.
[0059] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 1 It also includes a controller 8 for controlling each telescopic component 37. The controller 8 is a programmable logic controller (PLC), which is characterized by high reliability and simple programming. The PLC is installed in a specially designed control box on the side of the refrigerator cabinet 1 and fixed with screws. The control box adopts a sealed design to prevent moisture and dust from entering the refrigerator and affecting the normal operation of the controller 8. The controller 8 is connected to each telescopic component 37 through a data cable to achieve precise control of the telescopic components 37. At the same time, the controller 8 also includes an operation panel located on the side of the refrigerator cabinet 1. The panel is equipped with a display screen and operation buttons to facilitate medical staff to input medication dispensing instructions.
[0060] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 1Sub-door 4 includes a transparent section. The main body of sub-door 4 is made of an aluminum alloy frame, which is lightweight and strong. The transparent section is embedded in the aluminum alloy frame and uses double-layer hollow tempered glass. This glass not only has good light transmission, making it convenient for medical staff to directly observe the medicines in the refrigerator, but also has excellent heat insulation performance, effectively reducing the loss of cold through sub-door 4. The edges of the glass are ground to prevent scratches. A rubber sealing strip is installed between the aluminum alloy frame and the glass to enhance the sealing of sub-door 4.
