[0040] The signal transmitted from the notification module is sent to the display module via the controller. Information about medical supplies with an expiration date of less than 90 days is displayed in one color, including any one of red, blue, or purple. In this embodiment, a dark color is used for medical supplies with an expiration date of less than 90 days to remind the user. Information about medical supplies with an expiration date of 90-180 days is displayed in another color, including any one of cyan, yellow, or green. In this embodiment, a light color is used for medical supplies with an expiration date of 90-180 days to remind the user. This allows the user to clearly distinguish between medical supplies within different expiration periods. Example 2

[0041] Reference Figure 2 This utility model discloses an early warning and emergency rescue vehicle equipped with a medical supplies near-expiration warning system. The vehicle also includes a body 1, a lifting assembly 2, and a control assembly 3. A controller, storage module, timing module, prompting module, and power supply are located inside the body 1. A pull groove 11 is provided on one side of the body 1, with multiple sets of pull grooves arranged vertically. Drawers 12 are horizontally slidably connected within each pull groove 11. Multiple scanning modules 13 are provided, each located on the top wall of the pull groove 11 opening. During the sliding of the drawers 12, the scanning modules 13 scan the medical supplies inside. The lifting assembly 2 is located inside the drawers 12 to lift the medical supplies for easy access by the user. The control assembly 3 is located on the outer wall of the drawers 12 to control the lifting assembly 2. A display module 14 is installed on one side of the body 1 for user observation.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 The size of the multiple drawers 12 from top to bottom gradually increases. The two drawers 12 at the top are relatively narrow at the top and bottom, while the two drawers 12 at the bottom are relatively wide at the top and bottom. Since the two drawers 12 located below the vehicle body 1 in this embodiment are larger, the lifting component 2 and the control component 3 in this embodiment are optimally located in the two drawers 12 located below the vehicle body 1.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The lifting assembly 2 includes a storage plate 21 and a rotating shaft 22. The rotating shaft 22 is horizontally rotatably connected to the opposite side walls of the drawer 12, and each lifting assembly 2 has multiple sets of storage plates 21. Figure 3Each drawer 12 is equipped with three sets of pivots 22. Multiple storage panels 21 are fixedly connected to the pivot wall of each pivot 22 at their ends facing the slots of the drawer 11. That is, the multiple sets of storage panels 21 are equidistantly distributed along the length of the pivot 22, so each drawer 12 can have 3*3=9 sets of storage panels 21. Initially, the storage panels 21 are horizontal. Each storage panel 21 includes a shelf 211 and a side panel 212. The side panel 212 is fixedly connected to the edge of the upper surface of the shelf 211, serving to separate and block medical supplies. The end of the storage panel 21 away from the pivot 22 has an opening for easy access.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the two sets of drawers 12 located below the vehicle body 1 are each equipped with multiple sets of lifting components 2. The rotating shafts 22 in these multiple sets of lifting components 2 are parallel, and one end of each rotating shaft 22 extends to the outside of the drawer 12. By adjusting the spacing between adjacent sets of lifting components 2, the storage panel 21 can rotate smoothly. The control component 3 includes a limiting plate 31, gears 32, and a rack 33. Multiple sets of gears 32 are provided, each coaxially mounted on the end of the rotating shaft 22 located outside the drawer 12. The rack 33 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the drawer 12 in a horizontal direction, and the rack 33 meshes with the gears 32. In this embodiment, the side wall of the drawer 12 has a groove for the rack 33 to slide. Sliding the rack 33 causes the gears 32 to drive the rotating shaft 22 to rotate, thereby changing the tilt state of the storage panel 21. The limiting plate 31 is fixedly installed at one end of the drawer 12 near the opening of the pull groove 11. The limiting plate 31 can abut against the end of the rack 33 near the opening of the pull groove 11, thus limiting the rack 33 and preventing the storage plate 21 from overturning. A protrusion 331 is provided on the side of the gear 32 away from the gear 32 to facilitate manual operation of the rack 33 by the user.

[0045] When using this device, medical staff place medical supplies / medicines / related documents on the shelf 211 and open the drawer 12. When it is inconvenient to take out medical supplies, etc., they can manually slide the rack 33. The gear 32 that meshes with the rack 33 drives the rotating shaft 22 to rotate. The rotating shaft 22 drives the storage shelf 21 to rotate, thereby changing the tilt state of the storage shelf 21 and thus changing the placement state of the medical supplies, making it convenient to take out the medical supplies.

[0046] This early warning vehicle is equipped with a medical supplies near-expiration warning system. The controller, storage module, timing module, prompt module, power supply, and wireless communication module can be installed in the vehicle's mezzanine or in a specially designated electronic component area, which is not the focus of this patent.

[0047] As medical staff slide drawer 12, scanning module 13 scans the medical supplies inside. The scanned information is transmitted to the controller, which processes the information and combines it with the timing function (storage time) of the timing module and the color-coded reminder function of the prompt module (for example, the prompt module can include a color-coded reminder sub-module, which is a mature technology). The information is then displayed by display module 14. By displaying and observing the information on display module 14 located on one side of the vehicle body 1, medical staff can automatically and promptly grasp the expiration dates of medical supplies, eliminating the need for manual table creation and saving time and effort. Simultaneously, the wireless communication module can be used to remotely transmit the information of the medical supplies scanned by scanning module 13.

[0048] The above are all preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape and principle of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
