[0024] See Figures 1-2 As shown.

[0025] This utility model provides a medical medicine refrigerator, including a cabinet body 1, a cabinet door 2, and a cooling unit 3. To facilitate medicine storage, the interior of the cabinet body 1 is divided into a first storage area 4, a second storage area 5, and a third storage area 6 from top to bottom. The first storage area 4 is located at a high position and can be used to store small bottles of medicine that are not frequently used. The second storage area 5 can be used to store frequently used medicines. The third storage area 6 is located at a lower position and can be used to store large bottles of medicine or medicines in bags that are not frequently used or are inconvenient to lift.

[0026] To facilitate access to medicines located high within the cabinet and avoid the need for ladders or other auxiliary tools, a pull-down basket 7 is movably connected within the first storage area 4. Pulling the handle 71 of the pull-down basket 7 extends the basket body 72 from inside the cabinet 1 to the outside and lowers it. Specifically, the pull-down basket 7 can be implemented using existing technology (kitchen storage cabinets), for example, including a side slide rail 73, a connecting plate 74, a basket body 72, and a handle 75. The two sides of the basket body 72 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the connecting plate 74, and the outer side of the connecting plate 74 is slidably connected to the side slide rail 73 via a connector. A handle 75 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the basket body 72, with both ends of the handle 75 fixedly connected to the inner side of the connecting plate 74. A handle 71 is sleeved in the middle of the handle 75. By pulling down the handle 71, the basket body 72 slides down the slide rail until it is fully extended. In a preferred embodiment, a damper may also be installed inside the slide rail to slow down the downward speed of the basket using hydraulic or pneumatic principles, preventing the medicines from slipping during descent. In a preferred embodiment, to store more medicines, the basket 72 can be configured as a two-tiered structure, improving the utilization rate of the upper space of the cabinet 1.

[0027] Meanwhile, in order to facilitate the retrieval of medicines located at the rear of the cabinet, multiple pull-out baskets 8 are movably connected from top to bottom inside the second storage area 5. Each pull-out basket 8 includes a fixed base 81 and a sliding basket 82. The sliding basket 82 slides back and forth on the fixed base 81. A handle is provided on the front side of the sliding basket 82 to facilitate pulling out the sliding basket 82.

[0028] To accommodate medicines of varying heights, the fixed base 81 is height-adjustable via a connector 9. Specifically, the connector 9 includes a female connector and a male connector. The female connector is a fixing block 91 longitudinally fixed to the front and rear sides of the left and right side walls inside the cabinet 1, respectively. Multiple slots 92 are sequentially arranged on the fixing block 91 from top to bottom. One end of the male connector connects to a pull-out basket 7, and the other end inserts into a slot 92. The male connector is a connecting post 93 or a triangular connecting block 94; when the male connector is a connecting post 93, as... Figure 1 As shown, one end of the connecting post 93 is fixedly connected to the fixed base 81, and the other end is movably connected to the slot 92 of the female connector. During installation, the connecting post 93 on one side of the fixed base 81 can be inserted into the slot of the female connector on that side according to the height of the medicine being installed. After inserting it to the bottom, the connecting post 93 on the other side of the fixed base 81 is inserted into the slot of the female connector at the same height on that side. Then, the fixed base 81 is moved to the middle position so that the connecting posts at both ends of the fixed base 81 are stably inserted into their respective slots. When the male connector is a triangular connecting block 94, as... Figure 2 As shown. The surface of the right-angled side of the triangular connecting block 94 forms two inserts 95, corresponding to two adjacent slots 92, one above the other. The surface of the other right-angled side of the triangular connecting block 94 forms a limiting block 96, which engages with the limiting groove at the bottom of the fixed base 81. During installation, first insert the inserts 95 of the four triangular connecting blocks 94 into the slots at the same height on the front and back sides of the cabinet. Then, place the fixed base 81 on the four triangular connecting blocks 94 and adjust its position so that the limiting blocks of the four triangular connecting blocks 94 enter the four limiting grooves located at the four corners of the bottom of the fixed base 81, thereby connecting and fixing the fixed base 81. Both of the above-described connector structures are relatively simple and easy and quick to install.

[0029] To regularly disinfect and sterilize the medicines inside the cabinet, ultraviolet lamps are installed in the first storage area 4, the second storage area 5, and the third storage area 6. In addition, lighting is also provided in each of these areas to facilitate the handling of medicines in low-light conditions. Specifically, the lighting is embedded in the rear side wall inside the cabinet 1 and is arranged longitudinally. The ultraviolet lamps are embedded in the rear side wall inside the cabinet 1 and are spaced longitudinally from the lighting.

[0030] Regarding the air-cooling unit 3, it can be implemented in the way that commercially available medicine refrigerators are currently used, and is set on the top of the cabinet 1. The air vent 31 of the air-cooling unit 3 is located on the top of the first storage area 4.

[0031] Meanwhile, to monitor the temperature inside the cabinet 1, a temperature sensor 32 is installed inside the cabinet 1. Preferably, to monitor the air-cooling circulation effect, the temperature sensor 32 is located in the first storage area and the third storage area, and is connected to the controller of the air-cooling unit 3. When the temperature inside the cabinet is higher than the set temperature, the controller starts the air-cooling unit for cooling. Preferably, the cooling mode can be set to a refrigeration mode (2-8℃) and a cool mode (8-20℃), which can be switched according to usage requirements.

[0032] To ensure insulation performance, the cabinet body 1 has an internal insulation layer on its side wall, and the cabinet door 2 has a sealing strip 21 on its inner side. For easy replacement, the sealing strip can be a removable plastic seal. The insulation layer can be a 40mm high-density foam layer, with a cold-locking layer on the inner side and a heat-insulating layer on the outer side.

[0033] In addition, to facilitate movement and improve ease of use and flexibility, the bottom of the cabinet 1 is equipped with casters with brakes. For easy observation, the cabinet door has a glass window.
