Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a self-service medicine dispensing cabinet with automatic filling. Background Technology

[0002] Picking up medication usually refers to the process by which patients, based on a doctor's prescription, go to a pharmacy in a hospital or other medical institution to collect the required medication.

[0003] Currently, outpatients and emergency patients need to settle their outpatient bills after receiving treatment and prescriptions. After settlement, they need to queue at the corresponding outpatient or emergency pharmacy window to pick up their medications.

[0004] While the aforementioned technologies enable medication collection through window queuing, the queuing order and actual collection time differ due to variations in the quantity and dispensing time for each patient. This can lead to situations where patients queuing later receive their medication first, while those queuing earlier experience excessively long waiting times. Furthermore, dense queuing can increase the risk of disease transmission. These factors negatively impact patient satisfaction. Additionally, some patients fail to collect their medication promptly after outpatient settlement, resulting in medication accumulation at the pharmacy window, occupying workspace, causing medication confusion, and affecting collection efficiency. Therefore, an automated self-service medication collection cabinet is proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides an automatic self-service medicine dispensing cabinet, which aims to solve the problems in the prior art where queuing at the window for medicine dispensing leads to the accumulation of medicines at the pharmacy window, occupies work space, easily causes medicine confusion, and affects the efficiency of medicine dispensing.
