Detailed Implementation

[0048] Specific Implementation Method 1: Combination Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment describes an automatic medicine dispensing and vending machine, which includes a cabinet 1, a main control unit 2, a human-machine interaction unit 3, multiple temperature-controlled storage compartments 4, a temperature adjustment unit 10, and a medicine driving unit 11.

[0049] The outer wall of the cabinet 1 is provided with a retrieval port 6 for retrieving goods.

[0050] The main control unit 2 is located in the cabinet 1, and the human-machine interaction unit 3 is located on the front side wall of the cabinet 1.

[0051] The human-computer interaction unit 3 can obtain the first verification information input by the user and send it to the main control unit 2.

[0052] The main control unit 2 can receive and store the second verification information sent by the host computer, compare and verify the first verification information with the second verification information, and generate a medicine dispensing instruction after the verification is passed.

[0053] Multiple temperature-controlled storage compartments 4 are located inside the cabinet 1, and the outlets of multiple temperature-controlled storage compartments 4 are connected to the picking port 6.

[0054] The temperature-controlled warehouse 4 includes an insulated warehouse body 4-1 with an opening on one side and an insulated cover plate 4-2 for the warehouse body.

[0055] The opening of the insulated compartment 4-1 serves as the outlet of the temperature-controlled cargo compartment 4; the insulated cover plate 4-2 is hinged to the opening of the insulated compartment 4-1 in an openable and closable manner.

[0056] A medicine driving unit 11 is installed along the length of the insulated chamber 4-1.

[0057] The main control unit 2's drug dispensing instruction sending end is electrically connected to the drug dispensing instruction receiving end of the drug driving unit 11; this enables the drug driving unit 11 to move the drug along the length of the insulated compartment 4-1 to the outlet after receiving the drug dispensing instruction.

[0058] The temperature regulation unit 10 is installed on the inner wall of the heat preservation chamber 4-1.

[0059] The temperature regulation command output terminal of the main control unit 2 is electrically connected to the temperature regulation command input terminal of the temperature regulation unit 10.

[0060] In this embodiment, like existing vending machines, there is an external cabinet 1, and the front side wall of the cabinet 1 has a transparent panel for users to observe the goods and their condition. However, in this embodiment of the automatic medicine dispensing machine, due to the special nature of medicines, and to meet the light preservation requirements of some medicines, the heat-insulating cover 4-2 of the compartment can be made of a dark-colored filter plate or an opaque plate. Many medicines need to be stored at a suitable temperature, therefore multiple temperature-controlled compartments 4 are provided. Both the heat-insulating compartment 4-1 and the heat-insulating cover 4-2 provide insulation. Each temperature-controlled compartment 4 is sealed when the front heat-insulating cover 4-2 is fully closed; the sealing can be enhanced by installing sealing strips at the connection between the heat-insulating cover 4-2 and the heat-insulating compartment 4-1.

[0061] Each temperature-controlled compartment 4 in this automatic medicine dispensing and vending machine is equipped with a temperature regulation unit 10, which can be set to different temperatures according to actual needs. The temperature regulation unit 10 can use existing semiconductor cooling chips or condenser tubes, and the corresponding heat exchangers, radiators, condenser compressors, etc. can be set behind the dispensing port 6 at the bottom of the medicine dispensing and vending machine and connected by corresponding pipelines laid in the space between the cabinet 1 and the temperature-controlled compartment 4. The temperature regulation unit 10 is regulated and controlled by the main control unit 2. The temperature regulation unit 10 includes the necessary temperature acquisition and feedback module to collect the temperature in the corresponding storage area and feed it back to the main control unit 2 for timely adjustment. The temperature of each temperature-controlled compartment 4 is controlled at 10~30℃, not exceeding 20℃ in a cool place, not exceeding 20℃ in a dark place, and 2~8℃ in a cold place; where no temperature requirement is specified, it generally refers to room temperature, and the humidity is controlled at 35%-75%, while a temperature circulation structure is added.

[0062] The insulated cover plate 4-2 and the insulated warehouse 4-1 can be locked by means of electronic lock to maintain the airtightness of the temperature-controlled warehouse 4. However, after receiving the medicine retrieval command from the main control unit 2, the electronic lock will open, and the medicine driving unit 11 will drive the medicine to move towards the outlet. When the medicine moves to the front of the outlet, it will squeeze the insulated cover plate 4-2 to open. At the same time, the medicine will fall from the gap of the insulated cover plate 4-2 to the retrieval port 6 due to its own weight.

[0063] The medicine driving unit 11 can adopt the screw conveyor device found in existing vending machines, including a screw and a screw drive motor, wherein the front of the screw is required to be flush with the dispensing port. The medicine is placed in the gap of the screw, and the gaps between the sides of the medicine and the two inner sidewalls of the insulated compartment 4-1 along its length are kept very small to prevent the medicine from being rotated by the screw; that is, the two sidewalls of the insulated compartment 4-1 along its length act as a limit for the medicine. Upon receiving a medicine dispensing command, the screw drive motor drives the screw to rotate. Since the medicine cannot follow the rotation, it moves forward into the gap in front of the screw until it reaches the dispensing port. Because the front of the screw is flush with the dispensing port, the medicine detaches from the screw and is held in place by the front of the screw, simultaneously compressing the insulated cover plate 4-2 of the compartment.

[0064] The main control unit 2 includes the necessary storage device, which can store various drug information and specific locations in the device through on-site input or remote transmission, i.e., which temperature-controlled warehouse 4 and which cargo channel it is located in. When the first verification information and the second verification information are compared and verified, the corresponding location of the drug will be found by querying the drug information in the first verification information or the second verification information and the pre-stored drug location information, and a corresponding drug retrieval instruction will be generated and sent to the corresponding drug drive unit 11 to retrieve the corresponding drug.

[0065] The medication dispensing and vending device of this embodiment supports online sales and offline pickup of prescription drugs and Class A over-the-counter drugs, as well as self-service vending of Class B over-the-counter drugs. This device combines the advantages of online sales and offline pickup, selling drugs via the internet and providing convenient medication pickup services through offline dispensing machines. The dispensing and vending machines can be integrated or installed separately. A separate dispensing machine can simultaneously store and retrieve prescription drugs, Class A over-the-counter drugs, and Class B over-the-counter drugs. Due to relevant regulations, prescription drugs and over-the-counter drugs must be clearly labeled; therefore, drug type markings and corresponding drug images can be pasted on the transparent panel at the front of the cabinet 1. Each drug section is horizontally divided into multiple zones, each covering the area of ​​multiple temperature-controlled storage compartments 4.

[0066] The host computer can be the server of the corresponding drug sales website, etc., and the main control unit 1 of the drug dispensing and sales device is connected to the server terminal management system. The buyer's user terminal is also connected to the server terminal management system and communicates and interacts through the network. The human-computer interaction device 3 includes an operation panel and / or a scanning structure, which can acquire the first verification information.

[0067] The second verification information obtained by the main control unit 1 from the host computer mainly includes drug information, electronic prescription information, and user verification information, including user identity information, electronic prescription information, order number and / or unique drug collection code, etc. The first verification information on the user terminal is mainly user verification information. After the first verification information is compared and verified with the second verification information, the corresponding drug information can be obtained.

[0068] The aforementioned electronic prescriptions include QR codes, barcodes, or character codes linked to physician prescription information. Users conduct online consultations through legitimate online drug sales platforms, online drug trading platforms, or internet healthcare platform prescription circulation platforms. Licensed physicians or assistant physicians issue electronic prescriptions online. After review by a licensed pharmacist or medication consultation and information, users pay for the medication on the platform and verify their identity by entering a pickup code, scanning a QR code, swiping their ID card, or using an electronic voucher at the pickup machine according to the order information. They then self-collect their prescription drugs or Class A over-the-counter drugs. The human-computer interaction device 3 allows users to input character codes to obtain the associated physician prescription information, and a scanning structure is used to read QR codes or barcodes to obtain the associated physician prescription information. All of these can be obtained based on existing prescription circulation platform networks.

[0069] Specific Implementation Method Two: This implementation method further defines the automatic medicine dispensing and vending machine described in Specific Implementation Method One. In this implementation method, the temperature-controlled storage compartment 4 also includes an electromagnet 4-5 and a magnetic adsorption sheet 4-6.

[0070] The electromagnet 4-5 is embedded in the side wall of the insulated chamber 4-1 that contacts the insulated cover plate 4-2, and the electromagnetic adsorption surface of the electromagnet 4-5 is flush with the side wall.

[0071] The magnetic adsorption sheet 4-6 is embedded in the side wall of the insulated cover plate 4-2 of the silo, at the position corresponding to the electromagnet 4-5.

[0072] The electromagnet 4-5 is constantly energized and attracts the heat-insulating cover plate 4-2 of the silo.

[0073] The main control unit 2's medicine retrieval command sending end is also electrically connected to the electromagnet 4-5's medicine retrieval command receiving end; this causes the electromagnet 4-5 to lose power after receiving the medicine retrieval command and release the chamber insulation cover 4-2.

[0074] In this embodiment, the insulated cover 4-2 of the storage compartment is attracted by magnetic materials such as iron sheets through an electromagnet 4-5 and a magnetic adsorption plate 4-6. The magnetic adsorption plate 4-6 has a U-shaped structure and can be tightly fastened to the side wall of the insulated compartment 4-1. After receiving the medicine dispensing command from the main control unit 2, the electromagnet 4-5 will be de-energized and lose its magnetism, at which point the insulated cover 4-2 of the storage compartment will be movable. When the medicine driving unit 11 drives the medicine to the front of the dispensing port, it will squeeze the movable insulated cover 4-2 to open it.

[0075] To ensure that the medicine is not trapped by the weight of the insulation cover 4-2 when it is squeezed into the gap between the insulation cover 4-2 and the insulation chamber 4-1, the insulation cover 4-2 can be made of a thin and lightweight material.

[0076] In this embodiment, the angle between the plane of the outlet of the temperature-controlled storage compartment 4 and the bottom surface of the temperature-controlled storage compartment 4 is greater than 90°. The upper end of the insulation cover plate 4-2 is hinged to the side wall of the insulation compartment 4-1 above the outlet. The outlet of the temperature-controlled storage compartment 4 is generally inclined, and the angle of inclination does not need to be too large, within 10° is sufficient, that is, the angle between the plane of the outlet of the temperature-controlled storage compartment 4 and the bottom surface of the temperature-controlled storage compartment 4 is greater than 90° and less than 100°. With this inclination, and provided that the upper end of the insulation cover plate 4-2 is hinged to the side wall of the insulation compartment 4-1 above the outlet, when the electromagnet 4-5 is de-energized and loses its magnetism, the movable insulation cover plate 4-2 will naturally droop due to gravity. At this time, a gap will naturally be left between it and the insulation compartment 4-1 for the medicine to pass through, which reduces the compression of the medicine. When the electromagnet 4-5 is energized again, it can be triggered by a delay or by a corresponding signal. Since the tilt angle is not very large, after setting appropriate parameters for the electromagnet 4-5, the insulation cover plate 4-2 of the insulated chamber will seal the opening of the insulated chamber 4-1 again.

[0077] Simultaneously, the length of the upper insulated compartment 4-1 can be set to be greater than or equal to the length of the lower insulated compartment 4-1. This setting is intended to prevent the outlet of the upper temperature-controlled compartment 4 from being blocked by the lower temperature-controlled compartment 4, thus preventing the medicine from getting stuck as it falls into the retrieval opening 6. This setting is even more important when the plane containing the outlet of the temperature-controlled compartment 4 has a slight angle, to prevent the upper wall of the lower insulated compartment 4-1 from exceeding the lower wall of the upper insulated compartment 4-1.

[0078] Specific Implementation Method 3: This implementation method further defines the automatic medicine dispensing and vending machine described in Specific Implementation Method 1. In this implementation method, the temperature-controlled storage compartment 4 also includes a pressure plate 4-7 and a pressure sensor 4-4.

[0079] The pressure plate 4-7 is set on the bottom surface of the insulated chamber 4-1.

[0080] The pressure sensor 4-4 is located between the bottom of the pressure plate 4-7 and the bottom surface of the insulation chamber 4-1. The pressure sensor 4-4 can collect the pressure on the pressure plate 4-7.

[0081] The pressure output terminal of the pressure sensor 4-4 is electrically connected to the pressure input terminal of the main control unit 2.

[0082] In this embodiment, pressure sensor 4-4 is used to sense the total pressure of the medicine in the insulated compartment 4-1. Pressure sensor 4-4 transmits the current pressure value to the main control unit 2. When the pressure decreases, the main control unit 2 determines whether any medicine has detached from the corresponding insulated compartment 4-1 based on the pre-stored medicine weight range. If it is determined that medicine has detached from the corresponding insulated compartment 4-1, a medicine removal command is issued. This medicine removal command can be sent to electromagnet 4-5 to control electromagnet 4-5 to be re-energized, adsorbing the insulated cover plate 4-2 of the compartment to reseal.

[0083] Detailed Implementation Method Four: Combination Figure 5 This embodiment further defines the automatic medicine dispensing and vending machine described in Specific Embodiment 1. In this embodiment, the temperature-controlled storage compartment 4 also includes a pair of clamping plates 4-3.

[0084] The pair of clips 4-3 are arranged parallel to each other along the length of the insulated compartment 4-1, and the pair of clips 4-3 are respectively connected to the left and right inner walls of the insulated compartment 4-1 by springs.

[0085] In this embodiment, due to the special nature of medicines, there is no uniform standard for their packaging specifications. Therefore, when the width of the insulated chamber 4-1 is fixed, there may be cases where the medicine packaging is too small, making it impossible to use the screw to transport the medicine out. Therefore, a pair of clamping pieces 4-3 can be set in the insulated chamber 4-1. Under the action of the spring, the clamping pieces 4-3 can flexibly clamp medicines of various packaging specifications to relatively specify the medicines and enable the medicines to be smoothly transported out by the screw.

[0086] Specific Implementation Method 5: This implementation method further defines the automatic medicine dispensing and vending machine described in Specific Implementation Method 1. In this implementation method, a fan 5 is also included.

[0087] The fan 5 is installed inside the heat preservation chamber 4-1 and is located between the medicine driving unit 11 and the closed end of the heat preservation chamber 4-1.

[0088] In this embodiment, the fan 5 is used as the power device for air circulation in the temperature-controlled warehouse 4. When the fan 5 rotates, the speed of air circulation inside the temperature-controlled warehouse 4 is increased, ensuring that medicines in different locations in the same temperature-controlled warehouse 4 can be kept at their storage temperature. The fan 5 can be directly connected to the mains power supply through a transformer, that is, the fan 5 is in the normally open mode.

[0089] Specific Implementation Method Six: This implementation method further defines the automatic medicine dispensing and vending machine described in Specific Implementation Method One. In this implementation method, a first image acquisition camera 7 is also included.

[0090] The first image acquisition camera 7 is fixed directly above the pickup port 6.

[0091] The first image acquisition camera 7 can capture images of the top surface of the medicine and the four sides of the medicine in the dispensing port 6 as the first medicine image.

[0092] The first drug image output terminal of the first image acquisition camera 7 is electrically connected to the first drug image input terminal of the main control unit 1.

[0093] In this embodiment, the surfaces of the three side walls of the dispensing port are all made of mirror so that the first image acquisition camera 7 can capture images of the medicine in a relatively stable position.

[0094] Because the first image acquisition camera 7 is fixed directly above the dispensing port 6, by setting a reasonable mirror angle, the first image acquisition camera 7, fixed directly above the dispensing port 6, can acquire the image of the top of the medicine packaging while also acquiring the images of the sides of the medicine obtained by the four mirror reflections, thus obtaining the first medicine image.

[0095] The first image acquisition camera 7 sends an image of the first drug to the main control unit 2. The main control unit 2 uses a preset image recognition program to identify whether there is a drug batch number in the first drug image, and saves it for use in subsequent processes. It also identifies the drug's expiration date and calculates whether it is expired or nearing its expiration date. If the drug is expired or nearing its expiration date, the main control unit 2 sends an alarm signal to the host computer.

[0096] Specific Implementation Method Seven: This implementation method further defines the automatic medicine dispensing and vending machine described in Specific Implementation Method Six. In this implementation method, a second image acquisition camera 8 is also included.

[0097] The bottom surface of the pickup port 6 is a transparent plate.

[0098] The second image acquisition camera 8 is fixed below the bottom transparent plate of the picking port 6.

[0099] The second image acquisition camera 8 can capture an image of the lower surface of the medicine in the dispensing port 6 as a second medicine image.

[0100] The second drug image output terminal of the second image acquisition camera 8 is electrically connected to the second drug image input terminal of the main control unit 2.

[0101] In this embodiment, the second image acquisition camera 8 can compensate for the angle that the first image acquisition camera 7 cannot capture, and is located below the medicine to capture the image below the medicine, thus obtaining a second medicine image. two The image acquisition camera 8 sends the first drug image to the main control unit 1. The main control unit 1 uses a preset image recognition program to identify whether a drug batch number exists in the second drug image, and saves the image for subsequent processes. It also identifies the drug's expiration date and calculates whether it is expired or nearing its expiration date. If the drug is expired or nearing its expiration date, the main control unit 1 sends an alarm signal to the host computer or management terminal. The purpose of acquiring the first and second drug images is to establish a record of the use of prescription drugs and Class A over-the-counter drugs.

[0102] Specific Implementation Method Eight: This implementation method further defines the automatic medicine dispensing and vending machine described in Specific Implementation Method One. In this implementation method, the human-computer interaction unit 3 includes a touch screen display 3-1.

[0103] The display information output terminal of the main control unit 2 is electrically connected to the display information input terminal of the touch screen 3-1.

[0104] In this embodiment, the automatic medicine dispensing and vending machine also has the medicine dispensing function of a typical vending machine, which can only sell Class B over-the-counter drugs. The touch screen 3-1 can communicate with the host computer to display that Class B over-the-counter drugs can be sold in the current medicine dispensing and vending device. For Class B over-the-counter drugs, users can directly purchase the medicine on the touch screen 3-1 of this medicine dispensing and vending device and pay by scanning a code with Alipay, WeChat, etc.

[0105] The human-computer interaction device 3 in Embodiment 1 includes an operation panel that can be a separately set keyboard or a keyboard displayed on a touch screen 3-1. The operation panel and / or scanning structure can acquire the user's electronic prescription information.

[0106] Of course, users can also purchase medicines through legitimate online drug sales, online drug trading platforms, and internet medical platforms, and pick them up offline in person.

[0107] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
