[0001] This application relates to the field of cabinet technology, and in particular to an automated drawer structure. Background Technology

[0002] In the medical field, drawers, as the core storage carrier in the treatment space, have been deeply embedded in every aspect of the entire treatment process, from quickly accessing diagnostic tools such as stethoscopes and blood pressure monitors during outpatient visits to classifying and storing disposable consumables and emergency medicines in the treatment room.

[0003] However, in the design framework of traditional drawers, there is usually a guide component between the inner body and the outer body. This guide component is responsible for supporting and guiding the inner body. However, the operation of opening and closing traditional drawers is highly dependent on manual operation. Although this method has the characteristics of simplicity and directness, it exposes the limitations of inconvenience in scenarios where users have things in their hands or are wearing gloves, making it inconvenient to manually open and close the drawer.

[0004] Therefore, we designed an automated drawer structure to address the problems in existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to solve the problem that it is inconvenient for users to manually open and close drawers when their hands are holding things or wearing gloves. In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, an automated drawer structure is provided that allows users to easily open and close drawers even when their hands are holding things or wearing gloves.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of this application adopt the following technical solution: an automated drawer structure, including an outer body and an inner body, the inner body being disposed inside the outer body, a guide component being disposed between the outer body and the inner body, the guide component being used to guide the inner body when it leaves the outer body, so that the inner body leaves the outer body; a rotating component and a transmission component are also disposed on the inner side of the outer body, the transmission component and the rotating component being disposed on the same side of the inner body; a transmission belt is disposed between the rotating component and the transmission component, the transmission belt being used to connect the rotating component and the transmission component, the rotating component moving to drive the transmission component and the transmission belt to move; a connecting component is also connected to one end of the transmission belt, the other end of the connecting component is connected to the inner body, the transmission belt moving to drive the connecting component to move, thereby driving the inner body to move.

[0007] Furthermore, according to the embodiments of this application, the guide component is provided with a first guide member and a second guide member, the first guide member being disposed on the inner side of the outer body and the second guide member being disposed on the outer side of the inner body.

[0008] Furthermore, according to an embodiment of this application, the first guide member and the second guide member are disposed opposite to each other, and the second guide member can slide on the first guide member.

[0009] Furthermore, according to an embodiment of this application, the connector is provided with a first connector and a second connector, and a fixing member is provided on the first connector.

[0010] Furthermore, according to an embodiment of this application, the first connector and the second connector are disposed on both sides of the transmission belt, the first connector and the second connector are fixed by bolts, and the first connector and the second connector clamp the transmission belt.

[0011] Furthermore, according to the embodiments of this application, a sensing sheet and a sensing element are also provided on the inner side of the outer body, the sensing sheet is provided on one side of the inner body, and the sensing element is provided on the outer body.

[0012] Furthermore, according to the embodiments of this application, the sensing element is divided into a first sensing element and a second sensing element. The first sensing element is disposed on the inner side of the outer body near the outlet, and the second sensing element is disposed deep inside the outer body.

[0013] Furthermore, according to the embodiments of this application, the first sensing element, the second sensing element, and the sensing sheet are disposed on the same side, and the sensing sheet moves simultaneously when the inner body moves outward, and the sensing sheet can pass through the first sensing element and the second sensing element respectively during the movement.

[0014] Furthermore, according to an embodiment of this application, an electromagnetic lock and a latch are provided at the rear of the inner body, the electromagnetic lock is provided on the outer body, and the latch is provided on the inner body.

[0015] Furthermore, according to an embodiment of this application, the electromagnetic lock and the latch are arranged opposite to each other, and when needed, the electromagnetic lock and the latch are separated to allow the inner body to move.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, this application sets up a rotating component, a transmission component, and a transmission belt inside the outer body, and also sets up a connecting component. The inner body and the transmission belt are tightly connected by the connecting component, so that the inner body moves with the transmission belt. When the rotating component receives a signal to open the drawer, it triggers forward rotation, which drives the transmission component and the transmission belt to rotate synchronously in the forward direction. This, in turn, pulls the connecting component to move the inner body outward, realizing automatic opening of the drawer. When the rotating component receives a signal to close the drawer, it performs reverse rotation, which drives the transmission component and the transmission belt to rotate synchronously in the reverse direction. This drives the connecting component to push the inner body inward, completing the closing of the drawer. This solves the problem that it is inconvenient for users to manually open and close the drawer when their hands are holding things or wearing gloves. It achieves a better effect of being able to easily open and close the drawer even when both hands are holding things or wearing gloves. Attached Figure Description

In some instances, well-known methods and structures have not been described in detail to avoid unnecessarily obscuring these embodiments. Furthermore, all embodiments can be used in combination with each other.

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides an automated drawer structure, including an outer body 1 and an inner body 2. The inner body 2 is disposed inside the outer body 1. A guide component 3 is provided between the outer body 1 and the inner body 2. The guide component 3 is used to guide the inner body 2 when it leaves the outer body 1, so that the inner body 2 leaves the outer body 1. A rotating component 41 and a transmission component 42 are also provided on the inner side of the outer body 1. The transmission component 42 and the rotating component 41 are disposed on the same side of the inner body 2. A transmission belt 43 is provided between the rotating component 41 and the transmission component 42. The transmission belt 43 is used to connect the rotating component 41 and the transmission component 42. The rotation of the rotating component 41 drives the transmission component 42 and the transmission belt 43 to move. One end of the transmission belt 43... A connector 21 is also provided, with the other end of the connector 21 connected to the inner body 2. The transmission belt 43 moves to drive the connector 21 to move, which in turn drives the inner body 2 to move. When the rotating component 41 receives a signal to open the drawer, it triggers forward rotation, which drives the transmission component 42 and the transmission belt 43 to rotate synchronously in the forward direction, thereby pulling the connector 21 to pull the inner body 2 outward, realizing automatic drawer opening. When the rotating component 41 receives a signal to close the drawer, it performs reverse rotation, which drives the transmission component 42 and the transmission belt 43 to rotate synchronously in the reverse direction, which drives the connector 21 to push the inner body 2 inward, completing the drawer closing. This allows the user to easily open and close the drawer even when their hands are occupied.

[0029] The guide component 3 is provided with a first guide member 31 and a second guide member 32. The first guide member 31 is located inside the outer body 1, and the second guide member 32 is located outside the inner body 2. The first guide member 31 and the second guide member 32 are arranged opposite to each other. Through the sliding engagement of the second guide member 32 on the first guide member 31, the inner body 2 can move stably along the guiding direction of the first guide member 31. This structure forms a linear movement guide mechanism for the inner body 2 relative to the outer body 1 through the precise alignment and sliding connection of the guide members between the inner and outer bodies 1, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the component's movement trajectory.

[0030] The connector 21 is provided with a first connector 211 and a second connector 212. The first connector 211 is provided with a fixing member. The first connector 211 can be fastened to the inner body 2 through the fixing member to form a transmission force unit. The first connector 211 and the second connector 212 are located on both sides of the transmission belt 43. The first connector 211 and the second connector 212 are fixed by bolts to form a clamping and fixing of the transmission belt 43. This structure makes the two and the transmission belt 43 a rigid connection unit. When the transmission belt 43 rotates, the two connectors 21 move synchronously with the transmission belt 43, and then drive the inner body 2 to move in a preset direction through the first connector 211.

[0031] The inner side of the outer body 1 is also provided with a sensor sheet 52 and a sensor element 51. The sensor sheet 52 is located on one side of the inner body 2, and the sensor element 51 is located on the outer body 1. The sensor element 51 is divided into a first sensor element 511 and a second sensor element 512. The first sensor element 511 is located on the inner side of the outer body 1 near the outlet, and the second sensor element 512 is located deep inside the outer body 1. The first sensor element 511, the second sensor element 512, and the sensor sheet 52 are located on the same side. The sensor sheet 52 moves simultaneously when the inner body 2 moves outward. During the movement, the sensor sheet 52 can pass through the first sensor element 511 and the second sensor element 512 respectively. When the drawer is closed, the sensor sheet 52 stops within the sensing range of the second sensor element 512. When the sensor sheet 511 is closed, the sensor element 512 stops within the sensing range of the second sensor element 512. 2. Upon receiving a signal to open the drawer, the sensor 52 sends a signal to the rotating component 41, causing the rotating component 41 to start rotating in the forward direction. The inner body 2 moves outward, driving the sensor 52 to move outward as well. When the sensor 52 moves a certain distance outward, it enters the sensing range of the first sensor 511. The sensor 52 then sends a signal to the rotating component 41, causing the rotating component 41 to stop rotating. When the drawer is closed, the sensor 52 sends a signal to the rotating component 41, causing the rotating part to start rotating in the reverse direction. The inner body 2 moves inward, and the sensor 52 leaves the sensing range of the first sensor 511. When the sensor 52 enters the sensing range of the second sensor 512, the sensor 52 sends a signal to the rotating component 41, causing the rotating component 41 to stop rotating.

[0032] An electromagnetic lock 6 and a latch 61 are provided at the rear of the inner body 2. The electromagnetic lock 6 is located on the outer body 1, and the latch 61 is located on the inner body 2. The electromagnetic lock 6 and the latch 61 are arranged opposite each other. When needed, the electromagnetic lock 6 and the latch 61 separate, allowing the inner body 2 to move. When the drawer needs to be opened, the sensor 52 sends a signal to the electromagnetic lock 6, and the electromagnetic lock 6 pops open the latch 61, allowing the inner body 2 to move outward. When the drawer is closed, the inner body 2 moves inward and inserts the latch 61 into the electromagnetic lock 6, making the inner body 2 unable to move. This effectively improves the safety and reliability of the automated structure.

[0033] Example 2:

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, a continuous groove 431 is formed along the length of the transmission belt 43, and a matching protrusion 2121 is provided at the corresponding position of the second connector 212. The groove 431 and the protrusion 2121 are complementary in structure and are directly opposite each other. The protrusion 2121 is embedded in the groove 431 to form a mechanical engagement, which can significantly enhance the bonding strength between the transmission belt 43 and the second connector 212. When the transmission belt 43 is driven by the rotating component 41, the meshing action of the groove 431 and the protrusion 2121 can effectively transmit the driving force, so that the second connector 212 moves synchronously with the transmission belt 43, thereby driving the inner body 2 to move smoothly. This interlocking connection design not only optimizes the power transmission efficiency, but also effectively avoids the slippage phenomenon that may occur in the traditional friction transmission method, ensuring the stability and reliability of the drawer automation structure.

[0035] Although the illustrative specific embodiments of this application have been described above to enable those skilled in the art to understand this application, this application is not limited to the scope of the specific embodiments. For those skilled in the art, all applications utilizing the concept of this application are protected as long as various variations are within the spirit and scope of this application as defined and determined by the appended claims.
