At the same time, the timely retrieval of emergency restraint straps is also related to patient safety and the stability of hospital order when dealing with sudden situations.
[0003] In the past, hospitals have faced numerous challenges in the management of medications and emergency bandages. Traditional medication storage facilities often lack effective security mechanisms, making them easily accessible to patients or unauthorized personnel, leading to medication loss and misuse. This not only affects the patient's treatment outcome but may also pose serious health risks. Furthermore, the management of emergency bandages is often chaotic, making them difficult to locate and use quickly in emergencies, increasing the difficulty of responding to unexpected situations. In addition, existing mobile devices are inadequate in terms of mobility and fixation. Some trolleys lack reliable securing devices when parked, making them prone to movement due to accidental collisions, causing medication spillage and equipment damage. At the same time, the operation and maintenance of the equipment are not convenient enough, increasing the workload of medical staff.
[0004] To address these issues, improve the management of medications and emergency restraints in psychiatric hospitals, and ensure patient safety and normal hospital operations, we propose a multi-functional medication dispensing cart. Utility Model Content

Do not magnetically connect with the electromagnet strip 11 set in the groove in the middle of the top layer 7; a placement frame 21 is slidably installed in the rectangular grooves set on the left and right sides of the middle layer 4; an emergency strapping strap can be placed in the placement frame 21. The operator can pull the placement frame 21 out of the rectangular groove of the middle layer 4 to retrieve the emergency strapping strap. A mobile power supply 19 is fixedly installed in the center of the bottom inner side of the bottom layer 2. A vehicle locking assembly is set in the rear inner side of the bottom layer 2. The vehicle locking assembly consists of an electric telescopic rod 13, an arc-shaped locking plate 14 and a toothed sleeve 15. The electric telescopic rod 13 is fixedly installed in the top of the rear inner side of the bottom layer 2. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 13 passes through the through hole set in the bottom of the vehicle body 1 and is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped locking plate 14. The inner side of the arc-shaped locking plate 14 is provided with locking teeth and a rotating shaft 1. The toothed sleeve 15, fixedly installed in the middle of the 7th section, is movably engaged. Extending from the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 13, it drives the arc-shaped locking plate 14 to engage with the toothed sleeve 15, restricting the rotation of the rotating shaft 17 and thus fixing the roller 18, keeping the trolley stably stationary. An authorization unit 5 is provided at the top of the push handle 6. The authorization unit 5 includes a connecting box 51, a trapezoidal push block 52, a guide rod 53, a compression spring 54, a connecting plate 55, a normally open switch 56, a partition 57, and an authorization card 58. The connecting box 51 is fixedly installed at the bottom center of the top of the push handle 6. Partitions 57 are fixedly installed on the left and right ends of the inner side of the connecting box 51. Guide rods 53 are slidably installed in the guide holes at the upper and lower ends of the partition 57. Each guide rod 53 has a corresponding guide hole. There is a trapezoidal push block 52, and an authorization card 58 is set above the trapezoidal push block 52. The authorization card 58 is movably inserted into the slot set in the center of the top of the push handle 6. The other end of the trapezoidal push block 52 is respectively provided with a compression spring 54, which is respectively fitted on the outside of the guide rod 53. The connecting plate 55 set at the other end of the guide rod 53 is in active contact with the normally open switches 56 set on the left and right sides inside the connecting box 51. When the operator inserts the authorization card 58 into the slot in the center of the top of the push handle 6, the authorization card 58 pushes the trapezoidal push block 52 to move to both sides, the compression spring 54 is compressed, the guide rod 53 drives the connecting plate 55 to move, so that the normally open switches 56 on the left and right sides inside the connecting box 51 are closed.Conversely, when the authorization card 58 is removed, the normally open switch 56 opens accordingly. The system also includes an electromagnet plate 12, of which two are provided. The electromagnet plates 12 are fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the vertical plate located in the middle of the inner side of the middle layer 4. The electromagnet plates 12 are magnetically connected to the placement frame 21. When powered on, the electromagnet plates 12 magnetically attract and fix the placement frame 21, preventing unauthorized personnel from easily pulling it out of the middle layer 4. The system also includes a controller 3, located at the inner front of the bottom layer 2. The output of the controller 3 is electrically connected to the input of the electromagnet bar 11, the electromagnet plate 12, and the electric telescopic rod 13. The input of the controller 3 is electrically connected to the normally open switch 56. The output terminals of the 6 and the mobile power supply 19 are connected to the controller 3, allowing staff to easily control the electric telescopic rod 13. Additionally, the controller 3 can control the electromagnet strip 11 and electromagnet plate 12 based on the signal from the normally open switch 56. When the normally open switch 56 is closed, the controller 3 receives a signal and de-energizes the electromagnet strip 11 and electromagnet plate 12, causing them to lose their magnetism. At this time, the operator can easily open the top cover 8 to retrieve medications for different patients from the mesh-like top layer 7. Maintenance plates 22 are installed in the mounting slots at the middle of the left and right ends and the middle of the rear end of the bottom layer 2, respectively, using bolts and threads. The maintenance plates 22 facilitate maintenance and repair of the internal equipment of the bottom layer 2.
[0020] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the dispensing cart needs to be moved, the operator holds the handle 6 and pushes the cart using the universal wheels 20 and rollers 18 at the bottom. At this time, the locking assembly is in the unlocked state, the electric telescopic rod 13 retracts, causing the arc-shaped locking plate 14 to separate from the toothed sleeve 15, allowing the rotating shaft 17 to rotate freely, and the cart can be moved flexibly to the designated position. After the cart reaches the designated position, if it is necessary to fix the cart, the controller 3 issues a command, the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 13 extends, causing the arc-shaped locking plate 14 to engage with the toothed sleeve 15, restricting the rotation of the rotating shaft 17, thereby fixing the rollers 18 and keeping the cart stably stationary. When retrieving medication or emergency bandages, the operator inserts the authorization card 58 into the slot at the center of the top of the push handle 6. After the authorization card 58 is inserted, it pushes the trapezoidal push block 52 to move to both sides, compressing the compression spring 54. The guide rod 53 drives the connecting plate 55 to move, causing the normally open switches 56 on the left and right sides inside the connecting box 51 to close. After the normally open switches 56 are closed, the controller 3 receives a signal and controls the electromagnet strip 11 and electromagnet plate 12 to be de-energized and lose their magnetism. At this time, the top cover 8 of the top layer 7 is no longer magnetically attracted by the electromagnet strip 11 and can be easily rotated and opened. The placement frame 21 of the middle layer 4 is also no longer magnetically fixed by the electromagnet plate 12 and can be freely pulled out.
