Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medicine dispensing technology, specifically to a medicine dispensing device for a pharmacy. Background Technology
[0002] In the daily work of a pharmacy, the traditional method of dispensing medication typically involves using a standard medicine spoon. This method has several inconveniences and inaccuracies. Firstly, traditional spoons cannot accurately measure the weight of the medication, relying mainly on the pharmacist's experience and visual estimation, which can easily lead to dosage errors. For some medications with strict dosage requirements, such errors may affect treatment efficacy or even pose safety risks. Secondly, the dispensing process is cumbersome, and there is no real-time monitoring or display of relevant data, making it difficult for pharmacists to intuitively understand the medication dispensing process. Furthermore, there are no convenient control devices during the dispensing process, preventing more intelligent control and adjustment of the operation, resulting in low overall efficiency and failing to meet the demands of modern pharmacy departments for precise, efficient, and intelligent medication dispensing.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a pharmaceutical dispensing device to solve the above-mentioned problems existing in the current technology. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the defects of the above-mentioned technology and provide a medicine dispensing device for a pharmacy.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a medicine dispensing device for a pharmacy, including a spoon-shaped dispensing head and a handle connected to the end of the dispensing head. The end of the dispensing head near the handle is recessed downward to form a cylindrical receiving cavity. A wedge-shaped groove is connected to the receiving cavity away from the handle. The groove is connected between the bottom of the receiving cavity and the bottom of the dispensing head. A pressure sensor is provided inside the receiving cavity. Correspondingly, a display electrically connected to the pressure sensor is connected to the handle. The display has a built-in control module.
[0006] Furthermore, the end of the handle furthest from the dispensing head is bent downwards to form a gun-shaped grip.
[0007] Furthermore, a rotating shaft is connected to the end of the dispensing head away from the handle. The rotating shaft is located at the bottom of the dispensing head, and a baffle is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft. A micro motor is rotatably connected to the middle of the rotating shaft.
[0008] Furthermore, the handle is provided with control buttons and a buzzer on its side. The control buttons are electrically connected to the pressure sensor, the micro motor, the display, and the buzzer through a control module.
[0009] Furthermore, the control buttons include a switch and a numeric keypad. The switch is used to control the opening and closing of the baffle, and the numeric keypad is used to input the weight of the target medicine. When the target weight is met, the buzzer sounds a prompt.
[0010] Furthermore, the grip is provided with anti-slip texture.
[0011] Advantages of this invention: This invention provides a pharmacy dispensing device. A pressure sensor is installed inside the dispensing head's receiving cavity to monitor the weight of the dispensed medication in real time. This sensor is connected to a control module and a display to show the weight information, allowing pharmacists to accurately determine the precise weight of the medication dispensed. This avoids dosage errors caused by traditional dispensing methods that rely on experience and visual estimation. Furthermore, the numerical keys on the control panel allow for pre-input of the target weight, facilitating dispensing according to the set weight and further improving accuracy and controllability. The handle, with its end bent downwards away from the dispensing head to form a gun-shaped grip, conforms to ergonomic design, making it easy for pharmacists to hold. The anti-slip texture on the handle enhances grip stability, prevents slippage, and ensures safe and smooth dispensing operations. The control buttons are electrically connected to the pressure sensor, micro motor, display, and buzzer via the control module. The switch controls the opening and closing of the baffle, facilitating medication dispensing and preventing spillage or drops. When the dispensing weight reaches the set value, the buzzer sounds, allowing pharmacists to know whether the target weight has been reached without constantly monitoring the display, effectively improving dispensing efficiency. The cylindrical receiving cavity and wedge-shaped groove design near the handle of the dispensing head facilitate smooth medication entry into the cavity. The rotating shaft at the end of the dispensing head, the rotating baffle, and the micro motor in the middle of the shaft reduce the tediousness of manual operation, making the overall structure of the dispensing device more compact and practical.
