[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0036] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, a medicine cabinet for intelligent automatic dispensing is provided, including a frame 10, a conveying mechanism 20, a picking mechanism 30, a detection mechanism 40, and a dispensing mechanism 50. The conveying mechanism 20 is mounted on the frame 10 and is used for conveying medicines. The picking mechanism 30 is mounted on the frame 10 and located at the end of the conveying mechanism 20, used for picking up medicines to be used. The detection mechanism 40 includes a detection robot 41 and a detection module 42. The detection robot 41 is mounted on the frame 10 and located on one side of the picking mechanism 30, used for transferring medicines from the picking mechanism 30 to the detection module 42. The detection module 42 is located below the detection robot 41 and is used for reading and detecting information about the medicines. The dispensing mechanism 50 is located on the frame 10 corresponding to the outside of the detection mechanism 40 and is connected to the detection mechanism 40, used for conveying medicine bottles.

[0037] Through the coordinated operation of the conveying mechanism 20, the picking mechanism 30, the detection mechanism 40, and the discharging mechanism 50, an automated process for drug delivery—from conveying and picking to detection and discharging—is achieved. Medical staff no longer need to manually handle drug handling, detection, and delivery, significantly reducing workload and labor intensity, allowing them to dedicate more time and energy to patient treatment and care. Simultaneously, the robotic arm 41 transfers the drug from the picking mechanism 30 to the detection module 42, where the detection unit 422 reads and detects the drug information, ensuring the accuracy of the drug type and dosage, thereby guaranteeing the accuracy of drug use.

[0038] Preferably, the output end of the detection robot 41 is provided with a first material-grabbing component. A first rotating base 44 is provided between the first material-grabbing component and the detection robot 41, and the first rotating base 44 is a rotary table driven by a motor. The first material-grabbing component includes a first material-grabbing electric gripper 431 provided on the first rotating base 44. The output end of the first material-grabbing electric gripper 431 is provided with two sets of symmetrically distributed first grippers 432. By setting up the detection robot 41 and the first material-grabbing component, the medicine is fed to the detection module 42 through the material-grabbing mechanism 30, and then the bottle cap on the medicine is automatically removed by the detection robot 41 and the first material-grabbing component, without manual operation, saving manpower and time.

[0039] Furthermore, the detection module 42 includes a detection table 421 and a detection unit 422. The detection table 421 is mounted on the frame 10 and located on one side of the discharging mechanism 50. The detection unit 422 is located on one side of the detection table 421 and is a vision detection module, such as a barcode scanner. By setting up the detection unit 422 and the detection table 421, the picking mechanism 30 picks up the medicine onto the detection table 421, and the detection unit 422 can quickly and accurately read and collect the medicine information, avoiding the possibility of picking up the wrong medicine during manual handling and ensuring the safety of the medicine.

[0040] Furthermore, the testing mechanism 40 also includes a recycling channel 45 and a recycling bin 46. The recycling channel 45 is located on the testing table 421. The recycling bin 46 is located below the recycling channel 45 and is connected to the recycling channel 45. With the arrangement of the recycling channel 45 and the recycling bin 46, the testing robot 41 and the first material handling component place the removed bottle caps into the recycling channel 45 and recycle them through the recycling bin 46, thereby achieving automatic recycling of bottle caps.

[0041] Preferably, the transmission mechanism 20 includes a transmission mounting frame 21 and multiple sets of vertically arranged transmission modules. The transmission mounting frame 21 is mounted on the frame 10. The transmission modules are mounted on the transmission mounting frame 21. By setting multiple sets of transmission modules, various medicine bottles can be stored, and the required medicine bottles can be automatically fed and conveyed according to actual practical needs, eliminating the need for manual handling of medicines, reducing the workload of medical staff in handling medicines, and reducing labor intensity.

[0042] Furthermore, the transmission module includes multiple sets of horizontally arranged transmission disks 22. Multiple sets of transmission guides 23 are provided on each transmission disk 22. Adjacent sets of transmission guides 23 form a transmission channel for drug transmission. A constant-force pushing module 24 for pushing the drug transmission is provided within the transmission channel. The constant-force pushing module 24 includes a push block movably connected within the transmission channel and an elastic element located within the transmission channel. One end of the elastic element is fixedly connected to one end of the transmission channel, and the other end is fixedly connected to the push block. A limiting seat 25 is provided at the end of the transmission channel. The design of the transmission channel and the limiting seat 25 ensures that the drug can be accurately and stably transmitted to the designated position, avoiding problems such as drug dropping or collisions that may occur during manual handling, and reducing the risk of drug damage. Simultaneously, the constant-force pushing module 24 ensures that the medicine bottle can be smoothly transported from beginning to end, preventing jamming during transport and further ensuring normal drug delivery.

[0043] Preferably, the material handling mechanism 30 includes a material handling lifting module 31, a material handling translation module 32, and a second material handling component. The material handling lifting module 31 is mounted on the frame 10. The material handling translation module 32 is slidably mounted on the material handling lifting module 31. The second material handling component is slidably mounted on the material handling translation module 32. In this embodiment, the material handling lifting module 31 is a vertical linear movement module, and the material handling translation module 32 is a horizontal linear movement module. By setting the material handling lifting module 31 and the material handling translation module 32, the second material handling component can be positioned and gripped with multiple degrees of freedom, avoiding problems such as incorrect picking or dropping of medicines that may occur during manual medicine handling, and ensuring the quality of the medicines and the accuracy of subsequent solution preparation.

[0044] Furthermore, the second material handling component includes a sliding seat 331, a translation unit 332, and a moving seat 333. The sliding seat 331 is slidably mounted on the material handling translation module 32. The translation unit 332 is mounted on the sliding seat 331, and a second rotating seat 34 is provided between the translation unit 332 and the sliding seat 331. The moving seat 333 is slidably mounted on the translation unit 332, and each end of the moving seat 333 is provided with a second material handling electric gripper 351 for gripping the medicine to be used. The output end of the second material handling electric gripper 351 is provided with two sets of symmetrically distributed second grippers 352. In this embodiment, the translation unit 332 is a horizontal linear movement module, and the second rotating seat 34 is a motor-driven rotary table. When the second picking component moves to the side of the medicine to be picked up, the translation unit 332 drives the second picking electric claw 351 to approach the medicine and clamp it with the second gripper 352. Then, the translation unit 332 drives the second picking electric claw 351 to retract, and at the same time, the second rotating seat 34 rotates 180°, so that the medicine on the second gripper 352 is transferred to an open space, so that the subsequent detection robot 41 can transfer the medicine. This realizes automatic picking of medicine and avoids problems such as medicine being picked up incorrectly or dropped when picking medicine manually, thus ensuring the quality of medicine and the accuracy of subsequent solution preparation.

[0045] Preferably, the discharge mechanism 50 includes a discharge mounting base 51, a discharge translation module 52, and a discharge component. The discharge mounting base 51 is mounted on the frame 10. The discharge translation module 52 is mounted on the discharge mounting base 51 and is a horizontal linear movement module. The discharge component includes a discharge displacement device 531 and a third picking claw 532. The discharge displacement device 531 is slidably connected to the discharge translation module 52 via a third rotating seat, which is a rotary table driven by a motor. The third picking claw 532 is located on the output end of the discharge displacement device 531, and the output end of the third picking claw 532 has two sets of symmetrically distributed third grippers 533. After the drug testing is completed, the testing robot 41 moves to the side of the discharge mechanism 50. The discharge translation module 52 drives the third picking electric claw 532 to approach the drug, and the third gripper 533 picks up the drug. Then, the discharge translation module 52 moves backward. At the same time, the third rotating seat drives the third picking electric claw 532 to rotate 180°, so that the drug on the third gripper 533 is transferred to an open space to facilitate the discharge of the drug. This realizes the automatic conveying and discharge of the drug, reduces manual operation, and improves work efficiency.

[0046] Furthermore, the discharging mechanism 50 is equipped with sealing doors 54 on both sides, and each sealing door 54 has a discharge port 541 for conveying medicines. An opening drive module 542 is provided between the sealing door 54 and the discharging mounting base 51. The output end of the opening drive module 542 has a movable plate 55 corresponding to the discharge port 541. The movable plate 55 and the discharge port 541 can overlap to close or move away from each other to open. Through the arrangement of the sealing door 54, the movable plate 55, and the opening drive module 542, the opening and closing of the discharge port 541 on the movable door is achieved, ensuring hygiene during medicine conveying and preventing contamination of the medicine by external factors.

[0047] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and only specifically describe the technical principles of the present utility model. These descriptions are only for explaining the principles of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model in any way.
