Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of drug identification technology, specifically relating to a drug entry and exit identification device for a medicine cabinet. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous progress of society and the increasing population, environmental pollution and food safety issues are constantly affecting people's health. As a result, the number of patients is increasing, and the demand for medical drugs is also growing. For example, when dispensing medicines, hospital pharmacies usually use robotic arms to take the corresponding medicines from the shelves. In order to ensure the accuracy of the drug information in the drug order and to ensure the safety of users' medication, the drug supply is generally manually verified again by humans. However, manual verification is inefficient. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The present invention aims to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art and provide a medicine cabinet medicine entry and exit identification device.
[0004] The above-mentioned technical problems of this utility model are mainly solved by the following technical solution: a medicine cabinet medicine entry and exit identification device, including an identification frame and a clamping mechanism, wherein the identification frame is disposed on the left side of the clamping mechanism, the identification frame is U-shaped and the opening faces the clamping mechanism, an identification camera is disposed at the center of the identification frame and faces the clamping mechanism, the clamping mechanism includes a bidirectional cylinder, and a shaft clamp is disposed on the side of the bidirectional cylinder facing the identification frame, the shaft clamp holding a guide shaft, and a U-shaped mounting plate is disposed on each of the two protruding ends of the bidirectional cylinder, the opening of the U-shaped mounting plate fitting onto the guide shaft. Outward from the axis, a cantilever is mounted on the U-shaped mounting plate. One end of the cantilever is fixedly connected to the U-shaped mounting plate. A linear bearing is provided on the cantilever at a position corresponding to the opening on the U-shaped mounting plate. The linear bearing is sleeved on the guide shaft. A clamping shaft is connected to the end of the cantilever. The clamping shaft is slidably and rotatably connected to the cantilever. The clamping shaft includes a baffle, which is placed on the outside of the cantilever. A rubber clamping block is provided at the close end of each of the two clamping shafts. A spring is sleeved on the clamping shaft between the rubber clamping block and the cantilever. The two ends of the spring abut against the cantilever and the rubber clamping block, respectively.
[0005] Preferably, a mounting plate is provided on the upper side of the upper cantilever, and a pulley is rotatably connected to the mounting plate. A spline hole is provided at the center of the pulley, and a belt is connected to the pulley.
[0006] Preferably, a splined shaft is provided on the baffle of the upper cantilever, and the splined shaft passes through the splined hole in the center of the pulley of the mounting plate.
[0007] Preferably, the spline shaft and the clamping shaft are arranged coaxially.
[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the robotic arm directly delivers the medicines taken from the medicine rack to the clamping mechanism, which clamps the medicines. The rotation of the pulley drives the medicine box to align its four sides with the recognition camera on the recognition frame. The recognition camera scans the barcode on the medicine box to identify and verify the medicine information, which can greatly improve the speed of medicine verification. By setting a spring on the clamping shaft, the clamping range can be increased, so that medicines of different thicknesses can be clamped, thereby increasing the applicability of the equipment.

[0011] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0012] Example: A medicine cabinet medicine entry and exit identification device, such as... Figure 1As shown, the device includes an identification frame 1 and a clamping mechanism. The identification frame 1 is located on the left side of the clamping mechanism. The identification frame 1 is U-shaped, with its opening facing the clamping mechanism. An identification camera 2 is located at the center of the identification frame 1, facing the clamping mechanism. The clamping mechanism includes a bidirectional cylinder 3. A shaft clamp 4 is located on the side of the bidirectional cylinder 3 facing the identification frame 1. A guide shaft 5 is clamped in the shaft clamp 4. A U-shaped mounting plate 6 is provided on each of the two extended ends of the bidirectional cylinder 3. The opening of the U-shaped mounting plate 6 fits over the guide shaft 5. A cantilever frame 7 is mounted on the U-shaped mounting plate 6. One end of the cantilever 7 is fixedly connected to the U-shaped mounting plate 6. A linear bearing 8 is provided on the cantilever 7 at a position corresponding to the opening on the U-shaped mounting plate 6. The linear bearing 8 is sleeved on the guide shaft 5. A clamping shaft 9 is connected to the end of the cantilever 7. The clamping shaft 9 is slidably and rotatably connected to the cantilever 7. The clamping shaft 9 includes a baffle 10. The baffle 10 is placed on the outside of the cantilever 7. A rubber clamping block 11 is provided at the close end of the two clamping shafts 9. A spring 12 is sleeved on the clamping shaft 9 between the rubber clamping block 11 and the cantilever 7. The two ends of the spring 12 abut against the cantilever 7 and the rubber clamping block 11, respectively.
