Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pharmaceutical technology, specifically to a drug barcode scanning and shelving device for use in pharmacies. Background Technology

[0002] Because pharmacies purchase a wide variety of medicines, they need to register them before selling them. This requires scanning the barcodes of the medicines before putting them on the shelves. By doing so, businesses can achieve more precise and transparent drug management, while meeting regulatory requirements and reducing medication safety risks.

[0003] However, existing drug barcode scanning methods typically involve staff using handheld barcode scanners. This method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also inefficient. Furthermore, because drugs are placed relatively densely in pharmacies, staff are prone to making operational errors during the scanning process, leading to inaccurate barcode information and affecting the precision of drug management.

[0004] Therefore, we proposed a drug barcode scanning and shelving device for pharmacies to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0027] 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.

[0028] Example

[0029] like Figure 1-7 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a drug barcode scanning and shelving device for pharmacies, including a workbench 1, a conveying device 2 provided at the side end of the workbench 1, a limiting structure 3 provided at the top end of the conveying device 2, and a driving structure 4, a suction structure 5, a weighing device 6, and a barcode scanning structure 7 provided at the top end of the workbench 1.

[0030] The conveying device 2 consists of a conveyor belt, support rollers, a drive unit, a braking unit, a tensioning unit, and a redirection unit. The conveying device has been described in detail in patent publication number CN220805105U, "A Non-destructive Folding Equipment for Automotive Sheet Metal Parts". Therefore, the conveying device 2 belongs to the conventional structure under the prior art.

[0031] The drive structure 4 includes a first linear motor 401 and a moving track 402. A gantry 403 is provided between the first linear motor 401 and the moving track 402. A second linear motor 404 is provided on the front side of the gantry 403. A third linear motor 405 is provided at the movable end of the second linear motor 404. A mounting back plate 406 is provided at the movable end of the third linear motor 405.

[0032] The suction structure 5 includes a connecting back plate 501, which is connected to the mounting back plate 406. A lifting platform 502 is fixedly installed on the front side of the connecting back plate 501. A vacuum suction cup 503 and a vacuum generator 504 are provided inside the lifting platform 502.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, a control panel device 8 is hinged to the outside of the limiting structure 3, and the conveying device 2, driving structure 4, suction structure 5, weighing device 6, and barcode scanning structure 7 are all electrically connected to the control panel device 8.

[0034] Specifically, the control panel device 8 allows staff to easily control the entire barcode scanning and shelving device, while simultaneously monitoring the working status of each component in real time to ensure stable operation. During use, staff only need to input the corresponding commands on the control panel device 8 to perform a series of operations such as barcode scanning, weighing, and shelving of medicines, greatly improving work efficiency.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the limiting structure 3 includes a limiting frame 301, the bottom end of the limiting frame 301 is fixedly connected to the top end of the conveying device 2, a sliding frame 302 is slidably connected to the inner side of the limiting frame 301, a movable limiting plate 303 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the sliding frame 302, and a fixed limiting plate 304 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the limiting frame 301. The movable limiting plate 303 and the fixed limiting plate 304 are arranged opposite to each other.

[0036] Specifically, the movable limit plate 303 can be adjusted according to different sizes of medicines to adapt to different sizes of medicine packaging, increasing the applicability of the device.

[0037] During use, when the medicine is conveyed to the position of the limiting structure 3, the movable limiting plate 303 and the fixed limiting plate 304 work together to steadily arrange the medicine on the conveying equipment 2, preventing the medicine from shifting or falling during the conveying process, and ensuring the accuracy of scanning and weighing.

[0038] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the number of vacuum suction cups 503 is four, and the four vacuum suction cups 503 penetrate through the lifting platform 502 and extend to the bottom of the lifting platform 502.

[0039] Specifically, the arrangement of four vacuum suction cups 503 allows the suction structure 5 to more stably hold the medicine, preventing it from slipping or being damaged during transfer. At the same time, the number and layout of the vacuum suction cups 503 are carefully designed to accommodate medicine packaging of different sizes and shapes, improving the applicability and flexibility of the device.

[0040] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the scanning structure 7 includes a fixed crossbar 701, a movable bracket 702 is slidably connected to the surface of the fixed crossbar 701, a fixed gripper 703 is movably connected to the top of the movable bracket 702, and a barcode scanner body 704 is movably inserted into the inner side of the fixed gripper 703.

[0041] Specifically, the design of the barcode scanner body 704 allows the scanning structure 7 to flexibly scan medicines. During use, operators can control the movable support 702 to slide on the fixed crossbar 701 via the control panel device 8, adjusting the position of the barcode scanner body 704 to accommodate medicine packaging of different sizes. Simultaneously, the fixed gripper 703 firmly holds the barcode scanner body 704, ensuring its stability during the scanning process.

[0042] When using it, first place the medicine on the conveying device 2, and make sure that the information code of the medicine is in the horizontal right direction. Then start the conveying device 2, and the conveying device 2 will transport the medicine to the position of the limiting structure 3.

[0043] At this time, the movable limit plate 303 and the fixed limit plate 304 work together to steadily arrange the medicine on the conveying equipment 2;

[0044] Next, the staff inputs instructions through the control panel device 8 to start the drive structure 4. The first linear motor 401 starts, driving the gantry 403 to move on the moving track 402; the second linear motor 404 starts, driving the third linear motor 405 to move on the gantry 403; the third linear motor 405 starts, driving the mounting back plate 406 to penetrate into the inner side of the limiting frame 301 and move to the top of the medicine.

[0045] Then, the suction structure 5 starts working, the lifting platform 502 descends, the vacuum suction cup 503 adsorbs the medicine, and the vacuum generator 504 generates negative pressure to firmly adsorb the medicine.

[0046] Next, the third linear motor 405 is started to raise the lifting platform 502, which in turn moves the medicine away from the conveying equipment 2;

[0047] Subsequently, the drive structure 4 is activated again, moving the suction structure 5 and the medicine to the position of the weighing device 6. The weighing device 6 weighs the medicine, and at this time the barcode scanner body 704 is aligned with the information code of the medicine.

[0048] The barcode scanner 704 starts up, scans the information code of the medicine, and transmits the scanning result to the control screen device 8. After receiving the scanning result, the control screen device 8 stores and processes it to complete the barcode scanning and shelving operation of the medicine.

[0049] Subsequently, the operator restarts drive structure 4 to ensure the coordinated operation of the first linear motor 401, the second linear motor 404, and the third linear motor 405. Precise control of these motors allows the suction structure 5 to move above the conveying device 2 again. This displacement operation differs from the previous one; its purpose is to move the medicine from its current position to behind the limiting structure 3. After the suction structure 5 reaches the designated position, it gently lowers the medicine. In this way, the medicine, after information processing, can continue to be conveyed on the conveying device 2, ensuring the smoothness and efficiency of the entire process.

[0050] In summary, through the limiting structure 3, driving structure 4, and suction structure 5, the limiting structure 3 can block the medicines on the conveying equipment 2, and the driving structure 4 can transfer the medicines inside the limiting structure 3 to the workbench 1 through the suction structure 5. This prompts the weighing device 6 and the barcode scanning structure 7 to scan and input the information of the medicines, thus automating the information input process and avoiding manual input. This improves the efficiency of barcode scanning and shelving of medicines, and avoids problems such as damage to medicines or incorrect barcode information caused by improper operation. It provides strong technical support for the management of medicines in pharmacies.

[0051] It should be noted that the specific models and specifications of the conveying equipment 2, the first linear motor 401, the second linear motor 404, the third linear motor 405, the vacuum generator 504, the weighing device 6, the barcode scanner body 704, and the control panel device 8 in the drug barcode scanning and shelving device for pharmacies need to be selected and determined according to the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection and calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it will not be described in detail.

[0052] Furthermore, the power supply and principles of the conveying equipment 2, the first linear motor 401, the second linear motor 404, the third linear motor 405, the vacuum generator 504, the weighing device 6, the barcode scanner body 704, and the control panel device 8 used in the drug barcode scanning and shelving device for pharmacies are clear to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0053] Furthermore, the working principles and wiring methods of the conveying equipment 2, the first linear motor 401, the second linear motor 404, the third linear motor 405, the vacuum generator 504, the weighing device 6, the barcode scanner body 704, and the control panel device 8 used in the drug barcode scanning and shelving device in pharmacies are commonplace and belong to conventional methods or common knowledge. They will not be elaborated here. Those skilled in the art can make any selections according to their needs or convenience.

[0054] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model 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.
