Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drug packaging machines, specifically a drug packaging machine for inpatient pharmacies. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous improvement of informatization and automation in the medical industry, inpatient pharmacy drug dispensing machines, as key equipment for achieving accurate and efficient drug distribution, play an important role in improving dispensing efficiency and reducing human error. Through automated processes, dispensing machines can quickly package the drugs needed by patients according to dosage and administration time, greatly improving the efficiency of pharmacy work and ensuring the accuracy and safety of patient medication.
[0003] However, existing inpatient pharmacy drug dispensing machines still have significant defects in practical applications. Among them, the problem of capsules or tablets getting stuck or stagnant during the downward conveying process of the dispensing machine is particularly prominent. Because of their regular shape and smooth surface, these drugs are very prone to getting stuck in the drug delivery channels and dispensing ports of the dispensing machine due to insufficient friction or unreasonable channel angles, which can lead to interruptions in drug delivery. Once a jam or stagnant phenomenon occurs, it will not only reduce the working efficiency of the dispensing machine, but also prolong the waiting time for patients to pick up their medication.
[0004] Drug blockage can also lead to incorrect dispensing dosages, posing serious medication safety risks and increasing the workload of pharmacists in manually troubleshooting and resolving malfunctions, further exacerbating the pressure on pharmacy operations. In addition, repeated jams can cause wear and tear on the drugs themselves, affecting drug quality and potentially even leading to doctor-patient conflicts. Therefore, it is necessary to design a drug dispensing machine for inpatient pharmacies to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a drug repackaging machine for inpatient pharmacies to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Example 1
[0023] Please refer to Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a drug packaging machine for inpatient pharmacies, including a main body 1 of the drug packaging machine. A turntable 2 is rotatably connected to the top of the main body 1. A driving component is installed inside the main body 1 and below the turntable 2. A plurality of circumferentially arranged drug guiding holes 3 are opened on the surface of the turntable 2. A drug guiding rack 4 is installed inside the main body 1 and below the turntable 2. A material guiding component is installed inside the drug guiding holes 3.
[0024] In addition, the drive unit can drive the turntable 2 to rotate, and the guide component supports and guides the medicine falling into the medicine guide hole 3. The turntable 2 moves with the guide component carrying the medicine. When the guide component overlaps with the medicine guide frame 4, the guide component tilts to guide the medicine, which will not cause the medicine to jam or stagnate, thus improving the efficiency and practicality of the turntable 2 in guiding the medicine.
[0025] Specifically, the guiding component includes a guiding plate 6 hinged to one side of the drug guiding hole 3 via a fixed shaft 5, a sliding ball 7 fixedly connected to the bottom of the guiding plate 6, a guide rod 12 fixedly connected to the inside of the drug guiding hole 3, the guide rod 12 passing through the guiding plate 6 and slidably connected to it, a spring 13 fitted on the outside of the guide rod 12, a washer 14 fixedly connected to one end of the spring 13, and one end of the spring 13 fixedly connected to one side wall of the drug guiding hole 3, a limiting block 15 fixedly connected to the inside of the drug guiding hole 3 near the top, the limiting block 15 having an inclined surface at the top, and multiple circumferentially arranged ball bearings 16 installed on the top of the body 1 and outside the turntable 2.
[0026] The fixed shaft 5 inside the drug delivery hole 3 supports one end of the guide plate 6, and the sliding ball 7 supports the other end of the guide plate 6. The sliding ball 7 can support the guide plate 6 while facilitating the sliding of the turntable 2 on the surface of the body 1. At the same time, the sliding ball 7 facilitates the guide plate 6 to slide again to the top of the body 1 after tilting and passing through the drug delivery rack 4. When the guide plate 6 overlaps with the top of the drug delivery rack, the sliding ball 7 lacks support, and the sliding ball 7 falls down, causing the guide plate 6 to tilt. The tilting of the guide plate 6 facilitates the falling of tablet or capsule-shaped drugs into the drug delivery rack for guidance.
[0027] Furthermore, the guide rod 12 is arc-shaped, and the spring 13 on the outside of the guide rod 12 can support and push the guide plate 6 upward through the pad 14, so as to prevent the guide plate 6 from moving down too much and prevent the sliding ball 7 from moving down too much and causing jamming.
[0028] Furthermore, the multiple balls 16 outside the turntable 2 can limit the turntable 2 to prevent it from shifting or shaking, and also facilitate the rotation of the turntable 2. The limiting block 15 can press down and limit the guide plate 6 to prevent it from moving too high. The inclined surface at the top of the limiting block 15 can guide the drug.
[0029] More specifically, the driving component includes a rotating shaft 8 fixedly connected to the bottom of the turntable 2, a first gear 9 fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft 8, a motor 10 installed inside the body 1, and a second gear 11 fitted on the top output shaft end of the motor 10, with the first gear 9 meshing with the second gear 11.
[0030] Among them, the motor 10 can drive the second gear 11 to rotate through the output shaft. The second gear 11 drives the turntable 2 on the top of the rotating shaft 8 to rotate through the meshing first gear 9, thereby improving the convenience and stability of the turntable 2 in rotation.
[0031] Working principle: First, start the motor 10, which drives the second gear 11 to rotate through the output shaft. At this time, the second gear 11 drives the turntable 2 at the top of the rotating shaft 8 to rotate through the meshing first gear 9. At this time, the ball bearing 16 rotates on the outside of the turntable 2, and the sliding ball 7 at the bottom of the turntable 2 slides on the top of the body 1. When the slider overlaps with the guide frame, the sliding ball 7 loses support and moves downward. At the same time, the sliding ball 7 drives the guide plate 6 to rotate around the fixed shaft 5. At this time, the guide plate 6 guides the medicine into the medicine guide frame 4 for feeding and subsequent packaging. When the medicine falls, the spring 13 on the outside of the guide rod 12 supports the guide plate 6 upward so that the guide plate 6 overlaps with the medicine guide hole 3 to hold the material.
[0032] The contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.
[0033] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
