[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0029] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.
[0030] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0031] Reference Figures 1-5A pharmaceutical dispensing device includes a support platform 1. A filter mechanism for filtering crushed medicine is installed on the top of the support platform 1. A conveying mechanism for transporting medicine is also installed on the top of the support platform 1. The conveying mechanism can transport the complete medicine obtained by the filter mechanism. The filter mechanism includes a dropping cylinder 8, a feeding cylinder 9, a support plate 10, a collection box 11, and a guide cover 12. The support plate 10 is fixed on both sides of the bottom of the feeding cylinder 9. The support plate 10 is fixed to the support platform 1. The dropping cylinder 8 is fixed to the bottom of the feeding cylinder 9. The feeding cylinder 9 is in the shape of an inverted frustum. This allows the top diameter of the feeding cylinder 9 to be larger than the bottom diameter. The inner diameter of the dropping cylinder 8 is similar to the diameter of the medicine. This allows the medicine inside the feeding cylinder 9 to enter the dropping cylinder 8 and descend separately.
[0032] A collection box 11 is fixed inside the drug inlet cartridge 9, and there is a gap between the outer side of the collection box 11 and the drug inlet cartridge 9. A guide cover 12 is threadedly connected to the top of the collection box 11. Filter holes are evenly distributed inside the top of the guide cover 12, and the top of the guide cover 12 is arc-shaped. This allows the powdered drug to enter the inside of the collection box 11 through the filter holes of the guide cover 12 after being poured onto the top of the guide cover 12, and allows the complete drug to enter the inside of the drug inlet cartridge 9 through the arc shape of the top of the guide cover 12.
[0033] The conveying mechanism includes a rotating column 2, a conveying drive motor 3, a conveyor belt 4, a first positioning shell 6, and a second positioning shell 7. The two ends of the top of the support platform 1 are rotatably connected to the rotating column 2. The two rotating columns 2 are connected by the conveyor belt 4, and the conveyor belt 4 is located between the two support plates 10, so that the conveyor belt 4 can rotate under the support of the two guide covers 12. The conveying drive motor 3 is fixed on one side of the support platform 1 at a position corresponding to one of the rotating columns 2. The output end of the conveying drive motor 3 is connected to one of the rotating columns 2, so that the operation of the conveying drive motor 3 can drive the conveyor belt 4 to rotate stably through the rotation of one of the rotating columns 2 and the assistance of the other guide cover 12. The outer side of the conveyor belt 4 is evenly provided with medicine holes 5, so that the medicine can enter the interior of the medicine holes 5 and be conveyed by the rotation of the conveyor belt 4. At the same time, only one medicine can enter the interior of each medicine hole 5.
[0034] A first positioning shell 6 is provided on the inner side of the conveyor belt 4. The two sides of the first positioning shell 6 are bolted to the support plate 10, so that the top of the first positioning shell 6 can contact the inner side of the conveyor belt 4 and the first positioning shell 6 is located on the inner side of the top of the conveyor belt 4. Thus, the top of the conveyor belt 4 can be supported by the first positioning shell 6. The top of the first positioning shell 6 is bolted to the second positioning shell 7, and the top of the second positioning shell 7 is fixed to the medicine dropper 8, so that the medicine inside the medicine dropper 8 can fall into the inner side of the second positioning shell 7 and enter the medicine hole 5 of the conveyor belt 4. When the conveyor belt 4 rotates, the medicine that has not entered the medicine hole 5 is prevented from being conveyed by the obstruction after the connection between the first positioning shell 6 and the second positioning shell 7.
[0035] A drug guiding assembly is installed at one end of the support platform 1. The drug guiding assembly includes a drug delivery pipe 13, a blocking plate 14, and a push rod motor 15. The drug delivery pipe 13 is obliquely connected to one end of the support platform 1 by bolts, so that when the conveyor belt 4 is conveying, the drug falling through the drug hole 5 can enter the inside of the drug delivery pipe 13. The inside of the drug delivery pipe 13 is provided with a delivery groove 16. The delivery groove 16 is Y-shaped, so that the drug falling through the drug hole 5 can pass through the shape of the delivery groove 16 and be stably conveyed inside the drug delivery pipe 13. The blocking plate 14 is slidably connected inside the end of the drug delivery pipe 13 away from the conveyor belt 4. The push rod motor 15 is fixed on one side of the drug delivery pipe 13. The push rod of the push rod motor 15 is fixed to the blocking plate 14, so that the operation of the push rod motor 15 drives the blocking plate 14 to slide inside the drug delivery pipe 13. A first infrared sensor is fixed on the side of the blocking plate 14 inside the drug delivery pipe 13, so that when the drug slides inside the drug delivery pipe 13, the first infrared sensor can detect its passage.
[0036] One end of the support platform 1 is equipped with a collection mechanism for storing medicines. The collection mechanism includes a medicine dispensing tray 17, a limiting plate 19, and a support column 21. A rotary drive motor is fixed inside the top of the support column 21. The output end of the rotary drive motor is connected to the medicine dispensing tray 17, which allows the bottom of the medicine dispensing tray 17 to contact the support column 21, thereby making the rotation of the medicine dispensing tray 17 more stable. The medicine dispensing tray 17 has medicine slots 18 evenly distributed inside the top of its top. A limiting plate 19 is fixed on the outside of the support column 21 at a position corresponding to the medicine slot 18. A second infrared sensor is fixed on the bottom of the medicine dispensing tray 17 at a position corresponding to one of the medicine slots 18, so that the medicine dispensing tray 17 can leave one of the limiting plates 19 through the second infrared sensor. When the next limiting plate 19 is detected, the medicine dispensing tray 17 stops rotating.
[0037] Preferably, a signal controller 20 is also fixed on the top of the support platform 1. The signal controller 20 is electrically connected to the first infrared sensor, the second infrared sensor, the conveyor drive motor 3, the push rod motor 15, and the rotary drive motor via wires. This allows the signal controller 20 to control the first infrared sensor, the second infrared sensor, the conveyor drive motor 3, the push rod motor 15, and the rotary drive motor. In other embodiments, the signal controller 20 can control the first infrared sensor, the second infrared sensor, the conveyor drive motor 3, the push rod motor 15, and the rotary drive motor wirelessly.
[0038] In this embodiment, a storage battery can also be fixed on the top of the support platform 1 to provide power to electrical appliances.
[0039] In this embodiment, the first infrared sensor and the second infrared sensor signal controller 20 are both model e18-d80nk.
[0040] The usage process of the dispensing device for a pharmacy provided by this utility model is as follows: When in use, the mixed medicine containing powder or broken medicine is poured from the top of the guide cover 12. At this time, the broken medicine and powder in the mixed medicine fall into the collection box 11 through the filter hole inside the top of the guide cover 12. At the same time, the intact medicine slides down through the arc of the top of the guide cover 12 and enters the dispensing cylinder 8 in sequence inside the inlet cylinder 9. At the same time, the medicine inside the dispensing cylinder 8 enters the inner side of the second positioning shell 7 and is located at the top of the conveyor belt 4. When the operation of the conveyor drive motor 3 drives the conveyor belt 4 to rotate, the rotation of the conveyor belt 4 will transport the medicine located inside the medicine hole 5. When the medicine hole 5 is located at one end, the medicine falls from the inside of the medicine hole 5 and enters the inner side of the conveying groove 16 in the medicine conveying pipe 13. Then, it enters the dispensing groove 18 through the conveying groove 16. At the same time, after being detected by the first infrared sensor on the blocking plate 14, a signal controller 20 is given a pass signal. When the signal controller 20 receives the signal from the infrared sensor a predetermined number of times;
[0041] At this time, the signal controller 20 controls the delivery drive motor 3 to stop rotating, and simultaneously controls the push rod motor 15 to work, causing the push rod motor 15 to move the blocking plate 14, so that the blocking plate 14 closes the drug delivery tube 13. The signal controller 20 also controls the rotary drive motor to work, causing the dispensing tray 17 to rotate. This rotation of the dispensing tray 17 causes the second infrared sensor to rotate, causing the bottom of the second infrared sensor to disengage from one of the limiting plates 19. As the dispensing tray 17 continues to rotate, the emitted signal from the second infrared sensor is then transmitted to the next limiting plate 19. 9. When the signal is blocked, the second infrared sensor receives the signal and sends it to the signal controller 20, causing the signal controller 20 to control the rotary drive motor to stop working, so that the next drug delivery tank 18 corresponds to the drug delivery tube 13. Then, the signal controller 20 controls the push rod motor 15 to work, so that the push rod motor 15 drives the blocking plate 14 to move, so that the blocking plate 14 does not close the inside of the drug delivery tube 13 after it moves, allowing the drug to flow inside the drug delivery tube 13. Then, the signal controller 20 controls the conveyor drive motor 3 to work, so that the conveyor drive motor 3 continues to deliver the drug through the conveyor belt 4.
[0042] The preferred embodiments of this utility model disclosed above are merely illustrative of the present utility model. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the present utility model to the specific implementations described. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of the present utility model, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize it.
