Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smart pillbox technology, and in particular to a smart pillbox with a reminder function. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, there are some simple pillboxes on the market, such as compartmentalized pillboxes and timed pillboxes, but these pillboxes mainly function to classify and store medicines and lack intelligent reminder functions. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a smart pillbox with a reminder function to address the problem that elderly people often miss, take the wrong, or take the same medication when using multiple medications.

[0004] A smart pillbox with a reminder function includes: a lower shell having multiple medicine storage compartments; an upper shell detachably covering the lower shell and having an adjustable dispensing port; a driving assembly disposed on the upper shell, capable of driving the dispensing port to reciprocate relative to the upper shell along a first direction and a second direction, such that the dispensing port is positioned opposite to at least one of the medicine storage compartments; and a horn disposed on the upper shell.

[0005] This application discloses a smart pillbox with a reminder function. It features multiple medication compartments in the lower shell and a detachable upper shell that covers the lower shell, facilitating medication replenishment or maintenance of the internal components. A drive component moves the dispensing port back and forth, aligning it with different compartments for easy medication retrieval. The operation is simple and convenient. The speaker primarily serves to remind the elderly to take their medication on time via sound. This sound reminder method is more direct and effective than traditional alarm clocks or mobile phone reminders, especially for elderly people with hearing loss, significantly reducing the risk of missed doses.

[0006] In one embodiment, a hinged plate assembly is further included. This assembly is disposed on the upper shell and located at the dispensing port. The hinged plate assembly translates with the dispensing port, and its direction of movement is consistent with that of the dispensing port. The hinged plate assembly controls the closing and opening of the dispensing port. By being positioned on the upper shell and at the dispensing port, the hinged plate assembly can translate synchronously with the dispensing port. This design ensures that the dispensing port only opens when medication is needed, avoiding the risk of accidental medication drop or contamination. The coordinated design of the hinged plate assembly and the dispensing port enables precise control of the dispensing port, improving the safety of medication storage and simplifying the operation process.

[0007] In one embodiment, the opening and closing plate assembly includes an opening and closing motor assembly and an opening and closing plate. The opening and closing motor assembly is disposed on the upper shell, and its output end is connected to the opening and closing plate. The opening and closing motor assembly can drive the opening and closing plate to close or open the medicine dispensing port. Through the control of the opening and closing motor assembly, the automatic closing and opening of the opening and closing plate is achieved, allowing easy opening of the medicine dispensing port for convenient medication dispensing. The opening and closing motor assembly ensures reliable closure of the medicine dispensing port, preventing accidental spillage or loss of medication.

[0008] In one embodiment, the opening and closing plate assembly includes a sliding motor assembly and a sliding cover. The sliding motor assembly is disposed on the upper shell, and its output end is connected to the sliding cover. The sliding motor assembly can drive the sliding cover to close or open the dispensing port. When the dispensing port is open, the sliding cover overlaps at least partially with the upper shell. The sliding motor assembly drives the sliding cover to slide, thus achieving automatic opening and closing of the dispensing port. Compared to rotational or flip-type opening and closing methods, the sliding structure is more stable and reliable, reducing mechanical wear and the possibility of malfunctions, and improving the overall durability of the medicine box. When the dispensing port is open, the sliding cover overlaps at least partially with the upper shell. This design cleverly utilizes the space of the upper shell, making the overall structure of the medicine box more compact and saving space. It also prevents the sliding cover from protruding from the surface of the medicine box when open, reducing the risk of bumps and knocks.

[0009] In one embodiment, a control module is also included. This control module comprises a main control system, a voice playback module, and a wireless connection module. The voice playback module and the wireless connection module are electrically connected to the main control system, and the speaker is electrically connected to the voice playback module. The wireless connection module is used to send medication reminder signals to external devices. The main control system manages the operation of the entire pillbox, including receiving medication time settings and controlling the voice playback module and the wireless connection module, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of medication reminders. The voice playback module can control the speaker to remind the user to take medication via voice, making it convenient for the elderly or visually impaired. The wireless connection module can send medication reminder signals to external devices, such as a family member's mobile phone or the elderly person's smartwatch, allowing family members to monitor medication use or allowing the user to receive reminders anytime, anywhere, avoiding missing medication times.

[0010] In one embodiment, the system further includes a first magnetic component and a second magnetic component. The first magnetic component is disposed on the lower shell and located circumferentially to the medicine storage compartment, while the second magnetic component is disposed on the upper shell and located circumferentially to the medicine dispensing port. The second magnetic component translates with the translation of the medicine dispensing port, and the first and second magnetic components are magnetically attracted to each other. This magnetic attraction between the first and second magnetic components ensures that the medicine dispensing port remains fixed when it moves to a specific medicine storage compartment, effectively fixing the position of the dispensing port and preventing accidental movement during use, thus ensuring that the user accurately retrieves the medicine from the corresponding compartment.

[0011] In one embodiment, the first magnetic assembly includes a first magnetic element and a second magnetic element, which are respectively disposed on the lower shell and located on the same side of the medicine storage compartment. The second magnetic assembly includes a third magnetic element and a fourth magnetic element, which are respectively disposed on the upper shell and are respectively opposite to the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element. By having the first and second magnetic elements located on the same side of the medicine storage compartment, and the third and fourth magnetic elements respectively opposite to the first and second magnetic elements, and by magnetically attracting the first and second magnetic elements respectively, the dispensing port can be further fixed in the position of the medicine storage compartment, preventing accidental movement of the dispensing port during use and avoiding accidental ingestion of medication by the user.

[0012] In one embodiment, there are multiple first magnetic components, each corresponding to a different medicine storage compartment. The second magnetic component is attracted to at least one of the first magnetic components. By providing multiple first magnetic components on the lower shell and second magnetic components around the dispensing port, the dispensing port can be fixed in its corresponding position when it moves to any given medicine storage compartment, preventing displacement of the dispensing port and thus avoiding accidental ingestion of medication by the user.

[0013] In one embodiment, the upper shell includes a mounting base, a movable part, and a flexible connector. The mounting base is disposed on the lower shell and has a movable area. The movable part has the dispensing port. A portion of the movable part is connected to the driving assembly, which can drive the movable part to move within the movable area. The flexible connector is connected around the periphery of the movable part and also to the periphery of the movable area, so that the flexible connector closes the movable area except for the area where the movable part is located. The upper shell is fixed to the lower shell by the mounting base, and the movable area of ​​the upper mounting base provides space for the movement of the movable part. The movable part has a dispensing port, and the driving assembly can drive the movable part to move flexibly within the movable area, thereby achieving precise alignment of the dispensing port with different medicine compartments, facilitating medication retrieval for the user. The flexible connector can close the entire movable area except for the area where the movable part is located, effectively sealing the medicine compartment opposite the movable area, preventing accidental ingestion of medication, and ensuring medication safety. The flexible connector design allows for more flexible movement of the moving parts while effectively sealing the moving area. This compact structure saves internal space in the medicine box, making the entire medicine box lighter.

[0014] In one embodiment, the movable part includes a first movable member and a second movable member, the length direction of the first movable member intersecting the length direction of the second movable member. The driving assembly includes a first driving assembly and a second driving assembly. The first movable member and the second movable member are respectively connected to the first driving assembly and the second driving assembly. The first driving assembly can drive the first movable member to reciprocate along the length direction of the second movable member, and the second driving assembly can drive the second movable member to reciprocate along the length direction of the first movable member. The first movable member and the second movable member cooperate to form the dispensing port. By driving the first movable member and the second movable member to move crosswise through the first driving assembly and the second driving assembly respectively, the dispensing port can move flexibly in various directions of the active area, thereby flexibly aligning the dispensing port with different medicine storage compartments, improving the efficiency and accuracy of medicine dispensing.

[0015] In one embodiment, the number of flexible connectors is four. Two of the flexible connectors are connected at one end to both sides of the first movable member and at the other end to the opposite side walls of the active area along the length direction of the second movable member. The other two flexible connectors are connected at one end to both sides of the second movable member and at the other end to the opposite side walls of the active area along the length direction of the first movable member. By connecting the two flexible connectors to the sides of the first movable member and the opposite side walls of the active area along the length direction of the second movable member, when the first movable member reciprocates along the length direction of the second movable member within the active area, the corresponding flexible connector will retract and fold to the side wall of the active area along the movement direction of the first movable member, or extend to cover part of the medicine storage compartment. Similarly, when the second movable member reciprocates along the length direction of the first movable member within the active area, the corresponding flexible connector will retract and fold to the side wall of the active area along the movement direction of the second movable member, or extend to cover part of the medicine storage compartment. The connection structure design of the four flexible connectors effectively avoids problems such as jamming during the movement of the first and second movable parts, and isolates part of the medicine storage compartment from the outside world.

[0016] In one embodiment, the first drive assembly includes a first motor assembly and a first transmission assembly. The first motor assembly and the first transmission assembly are respectively disposed on the upper shell. The first motor assembly is connected to the first transmission assembly. The first movable member is fixedly mounted on the first transmission assembly. The length direction of the first transmission assembly intersects the length direction of the first movable member. The first motor assembly drives the first transmission assembly to generate transmission, thereby causing the first movable member to reciprocate along the length direction of the second movable member. Power transmission is achieved through the connection between the first motor assembly and the first transmission assembly. The first motor assembly can provide stable power output. The length direction of the first transmission assembly intersects the length direction of the first movable member, and one end of the first movable member is fixedly mounted on the first transmission assembly. This allows the power of the first motor assembly to effectively drive the first movable member to reciprocate along the length direction of the second movable member, while maintaining the compactness of the overall structure. The cooperation between the first motor assembly and the first transmission assembly enables efficient power transmission, resulting in a fast movement response speed for the first movable member, allowing it to quickly and accurately reach the designated position.

[0017] In one embodiment, the second drive assembly includes a second motor assembly and a second transmission assembly, which are respectively disposed on the upper housing. The second motor assembly is connected to the second transmission assembly, and the second movable member is fixedly mounted on the second transmission assembly. The length direction of the second transmission assembly intersects the length direction of the second movable member. The second motor assembly drives the second transmission assembly to generate transmission, thereby causing the second movable member to reciprocate along the length direction of the first movable member. By enabling the second transmission assembly to drive the second motor assembly to achieve transmission, and by having the length direction of the second transmission assembly intersect the length direction of the second movable member and one end of the second movable member be fixedly mounted on the second transmission assembly, the reciprocating translation of the second movable member along the length direction of the first movable member can be achieved, improving the flexibility of the equipment while ensuring stable translation of the second movable member.

[0031] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0032] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore the scope of protection of the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0033] The following describes some embodiments of the smart pillbox with reminder function according to the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment discloses a smart pillbox with a reminder function, including a lower shell 1, an upper shell 2, a driving component 3, and a speaker 4. The lower shell 1 is provided with multiple medicine storage compartments 101. The upper shell 2 is detachably covered on the lower shell 1 and is provided with a position-adjustable medicine dispensing port 201. The driving component 3 is disposed on the upper shell 2 and can drive the medicine dispensing port 201 to reciprocate relative to the upper shell 2 along a first direction and a second direction, so that the medicine dispensing port 201 is positioned opposite to at least one medicine storage compartment 101. The speaker 4 is disposed on the upper shell 2.

[0035] This application discloses a smart pillbox with a reminder function. Multiple medicine compartments 101 are set in the lower shell 1, and the upper shell 2 is detachably placed on the lower shell 1, facilitating user replenishment of medication or maintenance of the internal components of the smart pillbox. A drive component 3 drives the dispensing port 201 to reciprocate, aligning the dispensing port 201 with different medicine compartments 101 for easy access to designated medications. The operation is simple and convenient. The speaker 4 primarily serves to remind the elderly to take their medication on time via sound signals. This sound reminder method is more direct and effective than traditional alarm clocks or mobile phone reminders, especially for elderly people with hearing loss, significantly reducing the risk of missing medication doses.

[0036] Specifically, both the upper shell 2 and the lower shell 1 have a rectangular outline. The first direction is the length direction of the upper shell 2, and the second direction is the width direction of the upper shell 2.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes an opening and closing plate assembly 5. The opening and closing plate assembly 5 is disposed on the upper shell 2 and located at the dispensing port 201. The opening and closing plate assembly 5 translates synchronously with the dispensing port 201, and the direction of movement of the opening and closing plate assembly 5 is consistent with the direction of movement of the dispensing port 201. The opening and closing plate assembly 5 is used to control the closing and opening of the dispensing port 201. By being disposed on the upper shell 2 and located at the dispensing port 201, the opening and closing plate assembly 5 can translate synchronously with the dispensing port 201. This design ensures that the dispensing port 201 will only open when medication is needed, avoiding the risk of accidental medication drop or contamination. The linkage design between the opening and closing plate assembly 5 and the dispensing port 201 achieves precise control of the dispensing port 201, which not only improves the safety of medication storage but also simplifies the operation process.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the opening and closing plate assembly 5 includes an opening and closing motor assembly 51 and an opening and closing plate 52. The opening and closing motor assembly 51 is disposed on the upper shell 2, and the output end of the opening and closing motor assembly 51 is connected to the opening and closing plate 52. The opening and closing motor assembly 51 can drive the opening and closing plate 52 to close or open the medicine dispensing port 201. Through the control of the opening and closing motor assembly 51, the automatic closing and opening of the opening and closing plate 52 is realized, making it easy to open the medicine dispensing port 201 for convenient medicine dispensing by the user. The opening and closing motor assembly 51 can ensure the reliable closing of the medicine dispensing port 201, preventing the medicine from accidentally spilling or being lost.

[0039] In addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the opening and closing plate assembly 5 includes a sliding motor assembly and a sliding cover. The sliding motor assembly is disposed on the upper shell 2, and the output end of the sliding motor assembly is connected to the sliding cover. The sliding motor assembly can drive the sliding cover to close or open the medicine dispensing port 201. When the medicine dispensing port 201 is open, the sliding cover overlaps at least partially with the upper shell 2. The sliding cover is driven to slide by the sliding motor assembly to realize the automatic opening and closing of the medicine dispensing port 201. Compared with the rotation or flipping opening and closing method, the sliding structure is more stable and reliable, reduces the possibility of mechanical wear and failure, and improves the overall durability of the medicine box. When the medicine dispensing port 201 is open, the sliding cover overlaps at least partially with the upper shell 2. This design cleverly utilizes the space of the upper shell 2, making the overall structure of the medicine box more compact and saving space. It also avoids the sliding cover protruding from the surface of the medicine box when open, reducing the risk of bumps and knocks.

[0040] In addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes a control module, which comprises a main control system, a voice playback module, and a wireless connection module. The voice playback module and the wireless connection module are electrically connected to the main control system, and the speaker is electrically connected to the voice playback module. The wireless connection module is used to send medication reminder signals to external devices. The main control system manages the operation of the entire medicine box, including receiving medication time settings, controlling the voice playback module and the wireless connection module, etc., to ensure the accuracy and reliability of medication reminders. The voice playback module can control the speaker to remind users to take their medication in voice form, which is convenient for the elderly or visually impaired. The wireless connection module can send medication reminder signals to external devices, such as a family member's mobile phone or the elderly person's smartwatch, so that family members can monitor medication or users can receive reminders anytime and anywhere to avoid missing medication time.

[0041] In some embodiments, the smart pillbox can communicate with a smart terminal or app via a wireless connection module. For example, if a user fails to pick up their medication on time, the pillbox can send a medication reminder to the user's or a family member's mobile phone via an app or SMS, enabling remote care and monitoring. Combined with the precise positioning between the dispensing port 201 and the storage compartment 101 driven by the drive component 3 and the audible reminder from the speaker 4, this smart pillbox effectively prevents users from accidentally taking or missing medication, providing multiple layers of protection for user medication safety.

[0042] In one embodiment, older adults often face the challenge of coexisting with multiple chronic diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease. To control and treat these diseases, older adults typically need to take multiple medications simultaneously, i.e., polypharmacy. However, polypharmacy brings many problems to older adults. The most prominent issues include declining memory, which, combined with the need to take multiple medications daily, easily leads to missed doses, incorrect doses, or duplicate doses. Simultaneous use of multiple medications can also cause drug interactions, resulting in incompatibilities, reduced efficacy, increased side effects, and even life-threatening situations. Furthermore, older adults often lack professional medication knowledge and find it difficult to manage complex medication plans independently. While traditional pillboxes can help categorize and store medications, they lack intelligent reminder functions and cannot effectively solve the problems of missed doses and incompatibilities. The control module can receive medication information from medical institutions, medical personnel, care facilities, or caregivers, as well as the medication storage information of each storage compartment 101. It controls the drive component 3 to drive the dispensing port 201 along a first direction and a second direction, ensuring that the dispensing port 201 moves to the corresponding storage compartment 101 on time, facilitating polypharmacy for patients.

[0043] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes a first magnetic component 6 and a second magnetic component. The first magnetic component 6 is disposed on the lower shell 1 and located circumferentially on the medicine storage compartment 101, and the second magnetic component is disposed on the upper shell 2 and located circumferentially on the medicine dispensing port 201. The second magnetic component translates with the translation of the medicine dispensing port 201, and the first magnetic component 6 and the second magnetic component are magnetically attracted to each other. Through the structural design of the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic component 6 and the second magnetic component, it is ensured that the medicine dispensing port 201 stays fixed when it moves to a specific medicine storage compartment 101, effectively fixing the position of the medicine dispensing port 201, preventing accidental movement of the medicine dispensing port 201 during use, and ensuring that the user accurately retrieves the medicine from the corresponding compartment.

[0044] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the first magnetic component 6 includes a first magnetic element 61 and a second magnetic element 62, which are respectively disposed on the lower shell 1 and located on the same side of the medicine storage compartment 101; the second magnetic component includes a third magnetic element and a fourth magnetic element, which are respectively disposed on the upper shell 2 and are respectively disposed opposite to the first magnetic element 61 and the second magnetic element 62. By having the first magnetic element 61 and the second magnetic element 62 respectively located on the same side of the medicine storage compartment 101, and the third magnetic element and the fourth magnetic element respectively disposed opposite to the first magnetic element 61 and the second magnetic element 62, and the third magnetic element and the fourth magnetic element respectively magnetically attracted to the first magnetic element 61 and the second magnetic element 62, the position of the dispensing port 201 in the specific medicine storage compartment 101 can be further fixed, preventing the dispensing port 201 from accidentally moving during use and avoiding accidental ingestion of medication by the user.

[0045] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the number of first magnetic components 6 is multiple, and the multiple first magnetic components 6 correspond one-to-one with the multiple medicine storage compartments 101; the second magnetic component is attracted to at least one first magnetic component 6. By providing multiple first magnetic components 6 on the lower shell 1 and providing second magnetic components in the circumferential direction of the medicine dispensing port 201, the medicine dispensing port 201 can be fixed in the corresponding position when it moves to any corresponding medicine storage compartment 101, thus preventing the medicine dispensing port 201 from shifting and causing the user to accidentally ingest the medicine.

[0046] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines: the upper shell 2 includes a mounting base 21, a movable part 22, and a flexible connector 23. The mounting base 21 is disposed on the lower shell 1 and has a through movable area 202. The movable part 22 has a medicine dispensing port 201. A portion of the movable part 22 is connected to the driving assembly 3, which can drive the movable part 22 to move within the movable area 202. The flexible connector 23 is connected around the periphery of the movable part 22 and is also connected to the periphery of the movable area 202, so that the flexible connector 23 closes the movable area 202 except for the area where the movable part 22 is located. The upper shell 21 is fixed to the lower shell 1, and the movable area 202 of the upper mounting base 21 provides space for the movement of the movable part 22. The movable part 22 is equipped with a dispensing port 201. The driving component 3 can drive the movable part 22 to move flexibly within the movable area 202, thereby achieving precise alignment of the dispensing port 201 with different medicine storage compartments 101, facilitating user medication retrieval. The flexible connector 23 can close the entire movable area 202 except for the area where the movable part 22 is located, effectively sealing the medicine storage compartments 101 opposite to the movable area 202, preventing users from accidentally ingesting medication and ensuring medication safety. The design of the flexible connector 23 makes the movement of the movable part 22 more flexible, while effectively sealing the movable area 202. This compact structural design saves internal space in the medicine box, making the overall medicine box lighter.

[0047] Specifically, the aforementioned opening and closing motor assembly 51 is installed on the movable part 22.

[0048] Specifically, the flexible connector 23 can be a flexible plastic film or a flexible paper sheet.

[0049] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines: the movable part 22 includes a first movable member 221 and a second movable member 222, the length direction (first direction) of the first movable member 221 intersects perpendicularly with the length direction (second direction) of the second movable member 222, the driving component 3 includes a first driving component 31 and a second driving component 32, the first movable member 221 and the second movable member 222 are respectively connected to the first driving component 31 and the second driving component 32, the first driving component 31 can drive the first movable member 221 to reciprocate along the length direction of the second movable member 222, the second driving component 32 can drive the second movable member 222 to reciprocate along the length direction of the first movable member 221, and the first movable member 221 and the second movable member 222 cooperate to form a medicine dispensing port 201. The first driving component 31 and the second driving component 32 drive the first movable component 221 and the second movable component 222 to move in a cross motion, so that the medicine dispensing port 201 can move flexibly in all directions of the active area 202, thereby flexibly aligning the medicine dispensing port 201 with different medicine storage compartments 101, improving the efficiency and accuracy of medicine dispensing.

[0050] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the number of flexible connectors 23 is four, wherein one end of two flexible connectors 23 is connected to both sides of the first movable member 221, and the other end is connected to the opposite side walls of the active area 202 in the length direction of the second movable member 222; one end of the other two flexible connectors 23 is connected to both sides of the second movable member 222, and the other end is connected to the opposite side walls of the active area 202 in the length direction of the first movable member 221. By connecting the two sides of the first movable member 221 and the opposite side walls of the active area 202 in the length direction of the second movable member 222 with two flexible connectors 23, when the first movable member 221 reciprocates within the active area 202 along the length direction of the second movable member 222, the corresponding flexible connector 23 will retract and fold to the side wall of the active area 202 in the moving direction of the first movable member 221, or extend to cover part of the medicine storage compartment 101. The other two flexible connectors 23 are connected to the two sides of the second movable member 222 and the opposite side walls of the active area 202 along the length of the first movable member 221. This allows the corresponding flexible connectors 23 to retract and fold to the side walls of the active area 202 along the length of the first movable member 221 when the second movable member 222 reciprocates within the active area 202. Alternatively, they may extend to cover part of the medicine storage compartment 101. This connection structure design of the four flexible connectors 23 effectively avoids problems such as jamming during the movement of the first movable member 221 and the second movable member 222, and isolates part of the medicine storage compartment 101 from the outside world.

[0051] likeFigure 4 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the first drive assembly 31 includes a first motor assembly 311 and a first transmission assembly 312, which are respectively disposed on the upper shell 2. The first motor assembly 311 is connected to the first transmission assembly 312. The first movable member 221 is fixedly installed on the first transmission assembly 312. The length direction of the first transmission assembly 312 intersects the length direction of the first movable member 221. The first motor assembly 311 drives the first transmission assembly 312 to generate transmission, thereby driving the first movable member 221 to reciprocate along the length direction of the second movable member 222. Power transmission is achieved through the connection between the first motor assembly 311 and the first transmission assembly 312. The first motor assembly 311 provides stable power output. The length direction of the first transmission assembly 312 intersects the length direction of the first movable member 221, and one end of the first movable member 221 is fixedly mounted on the first transmission assembly 312. This allows the power of the first motor assembly 311 to effectively drive the first movable member 221 to reciprocate along the length direction of the second movable member 222, while maintaining the compactness of the overall structure. The cooperation between the first motor assembly 311 and the first transmission assembly 312 enables efficient power transmission, resulting in a fast movement response speed for the first movable member 221, allowing it to quickly and accurately reach the designated position.

[0052] Optionally, the first transmission component 312 is a belt transmission component, and the first movable component 221 is fixedly installed on the belt of the belt transmission component and moves with the belt transmission component.

[0053] like Figure 4 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the second drive assembly 32 includes a second motor assembly 321 and a second transmission assembly 322.
