Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dispensing device technology, and more specifically, to a dispensing device with intelligent identification of material bins. Background Technology

[0002] Existing dispensing equipment for granular materials such as pharmaceutical tablets can dispense various types of tablets. For example, pharmaceutical tablets are placed in various hoppers, each hopper suitable for holding one type of tablet. Then, based on a doctor's prescription, each hopper, under the control of the control system, dispenses the corresponding number of tablets into a packaging box. In this process, each hopper must first be accurately placed in its designated mounting position so that the system can accurately control the dispensing according to the pre-set sequence number. If one hopper is not placed correctly, the system will make a dispensing error. In other words, the user needs to manually identify the correct hopper placement, increasing the user's workload.

[0021] Combination Figures 1 to 5As shown, this embodiment provides a dispenser with intelligent hopper identification function, including a dispenser body 1 and a control system disposed within the body 1. The body 1 has a plurality of mounting positions 2 arranged for mounting hoppers 4, and also includes a plurality of different types of hoppers 4 suitable for installation in any of the mounting positions 2; wherein, each hopper 4 is provided with a detection medium 5, and the detection medium 5 on each hopper 4 is different from each other; each mounting position 2 is provided with a detection device 3 connected to the control system, and the detection device 3 is adapted to detect and identify the detection medium 5 to detect the mounting position 2 where each hopper 4 is located.

[0022] It should be noted that the dispenser in this embodiment can be used for dispensing various granular materials, such as pharmaceutical tablets, health supplement granules, or other granular products. This embodiment uses the dispensing of pharmaceutical tablets as an example for explanation, but it is not limited to the field of pharmaceutical dispensing.

[0023] In this embodiment, the dispensing unit 1 includes a shell and multiple mounting positions 2 for mounting the hopper 4. The mounting positions 2 can be arranged in an array, a circle, or other arrangements. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the mounting positions 2 can be configured as inwardly recessed grooves. The front side of the dispensing unit 1 has an opening for discharging the pharmaceutical tablets. The hopper 4 can be square-shaped, with a discharge port on one side of the bottom, and the discharge port is equipped with a rotating structure for transferring the pharmaceutical tablets. Of course, other existing structures can also be used to achieve individual discharging of the pharmaceutical tablets, which will not be elaborated here.

[0024] Combination Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the detection device 3 is located at the bottom of the mounting position 2, and the detection medium 5 is located at the bottom of the hopper 4. Thus, when the hopper 4 is inserted into the mounting position 2, it can cooperate with the detection device 3 and detect the detection medium 5 through the detection device 3, thereby identifying the position of each hopper 4 in the corresponding mounting position 2.

[0025] Combination Figures 3 to 4As shown, in one embodiment, the detection device 3 comprises several infrared sensors disposed inside the mounting position 2. The detection medium 5 includes one or more cylindrical protrusions disposed at the bottom of the hopper 4. The infrared sensors are adapted to identify different types of hoppers 4 by recognizing the different positions and / or numbers of the cylindrical protrusions. For example, in this embodiment, taking six hoppers 4 as an example, the infrared sensors include three infrared sensors arranged in a straight line. There are six hoppers 4, three of which have one cylindrical protrusion, and each hopper 4 corresponds to the position of one infrared sensor, while the other three hoppers 4 have two cylindrical protrusions, corresponding to the two infrared sensors respectively. With this arrangement, the infrared sensors can accurately determine the mounting position 2 of the corresponding hopper 4 based on the different positions or numbers of the identified cylindrical protrusions, and upload the position information to the control system for storage. When replenishment is required, prompts can be given based on the type of tablets originally placed in each type of hopper 4 or the type of tablets that are compatible with it, so that the user can put the tablets into the corresponding hopper 4. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the detection device and the detection medium can also be other structures, such as using a Hall effect sensor for matching and identification.

[0026] Combination Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the main body 1 is further equipped with a barcode scanner 8 and a prompting device connected to the control system. The barcode scanner 8 is used to scan and identify the QR code on the packaging bottle; the prompting device is used to indicate the location of the corresponding type of hopper 4 in the installation position 2. The prompting device includes an indicator light 6 on one side of each installation position 2, and a voice prompter 7 on the main body 1 connected to the control system. The main body 1 has a material outlet, and the barcode scanner 8 is located on the inner wall of the top side of the material outlet. During material dispensing, different hoppers 4 are randomly placed into the installation position 2. The cylindrical bottom of the hopper 4 presses against the corresponding detection device 3. After the detection device 3 completes the detection, the system internally identifies which type of tablet corresponds to the hopper 4 and stores the information. Based on the corresponding hopper 4 number, the system guides the user to pour the tablets into that hopper 4. Through this structure, the hoppers 4 can be randomly placed in the installation position 2, without needing to be placed in a specific location. The user can identify the type of medicine tablet by scanning the barcode and accurately place the tablets into the corresponding hopper 4 using the light indicator and voice prompt, reducing the probability of misplacement. The indicator light 6 mentioned here can be set on one side of the mounting position 2, and the indicator light 6 is constructed in different numbering shapes, such as letter numbers or number numbers.

[0027] It should be noted that the control system is a control module integrated within the main body 1, which is connected to an operation display screen to facilitate user operation of the dispensing unit 1, such as selecting the corresponding formula and adding stored drug information. The control module is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0028] This embodiment enables automatic identification of different hoppers 4 and guides users to pour different tablets into the corresponding hoppers 4, improving the intelligence of drug dispensing, making it easier for users to accurately replenish drug tablets into the hoppers 4, and reducing the probability of errors.

[0029] It should be understood that the above are only preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions that fall within the scope of the present utility model are protected by the present utility model.
