Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automatic medicine vending machine technology, and in particular relates to a tray for automatic medicine vending machines. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology and the increasing demand for health management, automated medicine vending machines have become widely used as an innovative method of medicine sales and delivery. These machines provide users with a convenient medicine purchasing experience and can operate 24 hours a day, greatly improving the accessibility of medicines and user convenience.

[0003] Currently, the vast majority of automatic medicine vending machines have a fixed dispensing channel structure. The width of the dispensing channel is usually designed and manufactured according to a preset standard size. However, due to the wide variety of medicines and the significant differences in the size, shape, and packaging of medicine boxes, the dispensing channel cannot effectively adapt to all types of medicine boxes. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a tray for an automatic medicine vending machine that can be adapted to medicine boxes of various sizes, so as to at least partially solve the problems in the related technology.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0006] A tray for an automated medicine vending machine includes: a crossbeam, a fastener, a mounting plate, and a partition.

[0007] The number of fixing members is two, and the number of crossbeams is multiple, which are arranged between the two fixing members and spaced apart along the length of the fixing members. The partition member is provided with a locking component so that the partition member is lockably slidably connected to the crossbeam. The number of partition members is multiple, and a goods channel for placing goods is formed between two adjacent partition members. The end of the fixing member opposite to the opening of the goods channel is fixedly connected to a mounting plate. The mounting plate is provided with mounting positions for mounting motors, and the number of mounting positions is multiple, which are spaced apart along the length of the mounting plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the partition includes a base plate and a partition plate. The upper surface of the base plate has a placement position for placing goods. The partition plate is fixed to the upper surface of the base plate to divide the placement position into a first placement surface and a second placement surface. In two adjacent partitions, the first placement surface of one partition and the second placement surface of the other partition form the bottom surface of the cargo channel.

[0009] Furthermore, the locking assembly includes a limiting post, which is fixed to the lower surface of the base plate, and the crossbeam is provided with a through hole for the limiting post to be inserted.

[0010] Furthermore, the limiting post is provided with a mounting groove for installing a rubber ring.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes clamping components;

[0012] The clamping assembly includes a first guard plate and a second guard plate, which are spaced apart and form a storage gap between them to accommodate part of the crossbeam. The limiting post is located within the storage gap. When the partition is installed on the crossbeam, part of the crossbeam is embedded into the storage gap.

[0013] Furthermore, reinforcing plates are provided at the connection points between the first guard plate and the base plate, as well as at the connection points between the second guard plate and the base plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the number of through holes on two adjacent crossbeams is the same, and the number of through holes on each crossbeam is the same as the number of mounting positions.

[0015] Furthermore, the fastener has an embedded through slot for inserting a portion of the crossbeam, and the end face of the fastener opposite to the crossbeam is provided with an insertion plate for inserting a slide rail on the shelf.

[0016] Furthermore, a fixing plate is fixedly connected to one end of the plug-in plate away from the mounting plate, and the fixing plate is provided with a channel for screws to pass through.

[0017] Furthermore, the mounting plate has a storage groove on the end face away from the crossbeam for storing motor wires.

[0018] Through the above technical solution, two fixing members fix multiple crossbeams from both ends of the crossbeam respectively, and the partition can be slidably connected to the crossbeam through the locking assembly, thereby making the partition adjustable. That is, the width of the channel can be adjusted according to the type and size of the medicine, which improves the adaptability of the channel and avoids improper storage of medicine boxes and jamming when dispensing medicine due to the incompatibility between the channel width and the size of the medicine.

[0030] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0031] In a specific embodiment provided in this disclosure, a tray for an automated medicine vending machine is provided, with reference to... Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the pallet includes: a crossbeam 1, a fixing member 2, a mounting plate 3, and a partition member 4. There are two fixing members 2. The crossbeam 1 is disposed between the two fixing members 2 and there are multiple crossbeams 1. The multiple crossbeams 1 are spaced apart along the length direction of the fixing members 2. The partition member 4 is provided with a locking component so that the partition member 4 is slidably connected to the crossbeam 1 in a lockable manner. There are multiple partition members 4. A channel 101 for placing goods is formed between two adjacent partition members 4. The end of the fixing member 2 away from the opening of the channel 101 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 3. The mounting plate 3 is provided with a mounting position 301 for mounting a motor. There are multiple mounting positions 301, and the multiple mounting positions 301 are spaced apart along the length direction of the mounting plate 3.

[0032] Through the above technical solution, two fixing members 2 fix multiple crossbeams 1 from both ends of the crossbeam 1 respectively, and the partition member 4 can be slidably connected to the crossbeam 1 through the locking assembly, so that the partition member 4 has adjustability, that is, the width of the channel 101 can be adjusted according to the type and size of the medicine, thereby improving the adaptability of the channel 101 and avoiding improper storage of medicine boxes and jamming when dispensing medicine due to the mismatch between the width of the channel 101 and the size of the medicine.

[0033] At the same time, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the mounting plate 3 is fixed to the fixing member 2. The mounting plate 3 is provided with a mounting position 301 for mounting the motor. In actual operation, when it is necessary to adjust the width of the channel 101, after the partition member 4 is fixed in the adjusted position by the locking component, the appropriate mounting position 301 is selected to install the motor, and the spring is installed on the motor. Then, the medicines are placed in the gap of the spring in the channel 101.

[0034] In some embodiments, both the crossbeam 1 and the mounting plate 3 are connected to the fixing member 2. The partition member 4 is slidably connected to the crossbeam 1 by a locking assembly. When the position of the partition member 4 is adjusted, the partition member 4 and the mounting plate 3 do not interfere with each other. The multiple mounting positions 301 provided on the mounting plate 3 enable the spring installed on the motor to be accurately located in the middle position of the channel 101, so that when the motor drives the spring to rotate, the spring can drive the medicine to move, thus minimizing the possibility of medicine jamming during dispensing.

[0035] In some implementations, reference Figure 5 As shown, the partition 4 includes a base plate 401 and a partition plate 402. The upper surface of the base plate 401 has a placement position for placing goods. The partition plate 402 is fixed to the upper surface of the base plate 401 to divide the placement position into a first placement surface 4011 and a second placement surface 4012. In two adjacent partitions 4, the first placement surface 4011 of one partition 4 and the second placement surface 4012 of the other partition 4 constitute the bottom surface of the cargo channel 101. That is, the cargo channel 101 consists of three parts: two partition plates 402 in two adjacent partitions 4, the first placement surface 4011 of one partition 4 and the second placement surface 4012 of the other partition 4.

[0036] At the same time, refer to Figure 1 As shown, there is a gap between two adjacent partition pieces 4. This gap can limit the spring. That is, the motor is mounted on the mounting plate 3 through the mounting position 301, and the spring is mounted on the motor. The lower part of the spring located in the cargo channel 101 falls within the gap, thereby limiting the spring and allowing it to rotate within a specific range when driven by the motor. This allows the medicine to move smoothly along the predetermined path in the cargo channel 101, avoiding the situation where the medicine deviates, gets stuck, or cannot be transported normally due to spring failure or excessive displacement.

[0037] In some implementations, reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the locking assembly includes a limiting post 5, which is fixed to the lower surface of the base plate 401. The crossbeam 1 is provided with a through hole 102 for the limiting post 5 to be inserted. When the limiting post 5 is inserted into the through hole 102, the limiting post 5 can limit the partition 4, restrict the movement of the partition 4 on the crossbeam 1, and ensure that the width of the cargo channel 101 remains unchanged.

[0038] At the same time, refer to Figure 5As shown, the limiting post 5 is provided with a mounting groove 501 for installing a rubber ring. After the limiting post 5 with the rubber ring is inserted into the through hole 102, under the action of the rubber ring, the limiting post 5 can be interference-fitted with the through hole 102, so that the limiting post 5 is firmly fixed on the crossbeam 1. In addition, the elasticity of the rubber ring can effectively absorb the vibration generated when the motor drives the spring to rotate, ensuring that the spring can drive the medicine to move and make the medicine eventually leave the delivery channel 101 and fall into the dispensing area of ​​the automatic medicine vending machine.

[0039] In some implementations, reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a clamping assembly 6, which can effectively restrict the movement of the partition 4 along its own length direction. Specifically, the clamping assembly 6 includes a first guard plate 601 and a second guard plate 602, which are spaced apart. The first guard plate 601 and the second guard plate 602 form a storage gap 6011 for storing part of the crossbeam 1. The limiting post 5 is located in the storage gap 6011. When the partition 4 is installed on the crossbeam 1, part of the crossbeam 1 is embedded in the storage gap 6011. The storage gap 6011 can provide suitable storage space for part of the crossbeam 1, thereby making the connection between the partition 4 and the crossbeam 1 tighter and enhancing the stability of the cargo channel 101.

[0040] In some implementations, reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the connection between the first guard plate 601 and the base plate 401 and the connection between the second guard plate 602 and the base plate 401 are both provided with reinforcing plates 603, which can enhance the connection strength between the first guard plate 601 and the second guard plate 602.

[0041] For example, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, with the coordinated cooperation of the limiting post 5 and the clamping assembly 6, the partition 4 can be more firmly installed on the crossbeam 1. When the partition 4 is installed on the crossbeam 1, the first guard plate 601 and the second guard plate 602 are located on both sides of the crossbeam 1, effectively supporting and offsetting the force originating from the length direction of the cargo channel 101, preventing all the force from acting on the limiting post 5. Meanwhile, referring to... Figure 5 As shown, each partition 4 is provided with multiple limiting posts 5. The number of limiting posts 5 on each partition 4 is equal to the number of crossbeams 1. In order to enable the partition 4 to switch between multiple positions on the crossbeams 1, thereby enabling the width of the cargo channel 101 to be adjusted in various ways, each crossbeam 1 has multiple through holes 102, which are equally spaced along the length of the crossbeam 1 itself.

[0042] In some implementations, reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the number of through holes 102 on two adjacent crossbeams 1 is the same, and the number of through holes 102 on each crossbeam 1 is the same as the number of mounting positions 301. This arrangement allows for precise adjustment of the width of the cargo channel 101 according to the size of the medicine box. The through holes 102 on the crossbeams 1 and the mounting positions 301 on the mounting plate 3 can reference each other, thus ensuring that when installing the partition 4, the limiting post 5 is precisely inserted into a pre-selected column (see reference). Figures 1 to 3 As shown, there are three crossbeams 1, each of which has multiple through holes 102. These through holes 102 on each crossbeam 1 are defined as a row. Similarly, refer to... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, there are three through holes 102 in the same column, and the extension direction of this column is the same as the extension direction of the cargo channel 101.

[0043] In some embodiments not shown, the locking assembly includes a screw and a nut. Both the first guard plate 601 and the second guard plate 602 have through holes, and the crossbeam 1 has a through groove for the screw to pass through. One end of the screw passes sequentially through the through hole on the first guard plate 601, the through groove on the crossbeam 1 (the edge of the through groove is rectangular), and the through hole on the second guard plate 602, and is then threaded onto the nut. At this time, the first guard plate 601 and the second guard plate 602 act as washers. Under the clamping action of the screw and the nut, the first guard plate 601 and the second guard plate 602 can clamp and fix the crossbeam 1, thereby ensuring that the partition 4 can be firmly installed on the crossbeam 1.

[0044] In some implementations, reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the fastener 2 has an embedded through groove 201 for inserting part of the crossbeam 1. The end face of the fastener 2 opposite to the crossbeam 1 is provided with a plug plate 7 for inserting into the slide rail on the shelf. When the pallet is installed on the shelf, the plug plate 7 can be aligned with the slide rail of the shelf, and the pallet can be installed on the shelf through the slide rail. At the same time, the end of the plug plate 7 opposite to the mounting plate 3 is fixedly connected to a fixing plate 8. The fixing plate 8 is provided with a hole for screws to pass through. The shelf is provided with a threaded hole corresponding to the hole. The fixing plate 8 is fixed by screws, so that the pallet can be firmly fixed on the shelf.

[0045] In some implementations, reference Figure 3 As shown, the end face of the mounting plate 3 away from the crossbeam 1 is provided with a storage groove 9 for storing motor wires. That is, in order to keep the tray cleaner and tidier, after the motors are installed, the wires of multiple motors can be organized through the storage groove 9.

Therefore, any omissions, modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
