Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drug delivery robot technology, and in particular to a drug delivery robot that facilitates the placement and classification of drugs. Background Technology

[0002] Drug delivery robots are devices used in medical settings that utilize automation and intelligent technologies to classify, store, transport, and precisely deliver drugs. They aim to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and safety of drug delivery, reduce the workload of medical staff, and optimize the allocation of medical resources.

[0003] According to the Chinese patent "A Drug Delivery Robot" authorized announcement number "CN220699627U", the robot uses a moving chute, a pushing bracket, a driving roller and a drug dispensing channel to work together to automatically dispense drugs from the casing, eliminating concerns about patients taking the wrong or missing drugs due to the centralized delivery of multiple drugs.

[0004] The aforementioned application states that because the front of the dispensing channel is open, the medicines can slip through the channel and fall to the ground, which could easily damage them and reduce the practicality of the medicine delivery robot. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a drug delivery robot that facilitates the placement and sorting of drugs, addressing the problem that drugs may slip onto the ground through the dispensing channel and be easily damaged.

[0006] The device includes: a delivery robot; a protective mechanism, the protective mechanism comprising medicine placement frames fixedly connected to the inner wall of the delivery robot in equal rows, pulleys rotatably connected to both sides of the inner wall of each medicine placement frame, a servo motor fixedly connected to the front end of each medicine placement frame, the output shaft of the servo motor fixedly connected to one end of one of the pulleys, a conveyor belt drivingly connecting the surfaces of the two pulleys, a bracket fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the delivery robot, an inclined block slidably connected to the inner wall of the bracket, and a stop block slidably connected to the inner wall of the delivery robot.

[0007] In one embodiment, the inclined block and the opposite end of the bracket are fixedly connected to a plurality of first springs and damping pads, the surface of the damping pads being located on the inner ring of the first springs.

[0008] In one embodiment, a guide block is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the dispensing frame, and the bottom of the guide block forms an angle with the horizontal plane. The guide block guides the medicine sliding off the conveyor belt, preventing it from falling into the dispensing frame below.

[0009] In one embodiment, the surface of the conveyor belt is fixedly connected with equally spaced partitions. These partitions organize the medicines placed on the conveyor belt, preventing them from piling up and facilitating orderly discharge.

[0010] In one embodiment, a transparent frame, which is an acrylic sheet component, is fixedly connected to the front end of the medication placement frame. The transparent frame allows for labeling of the medications placed within the frame, facilitating the quick placement of various medications by medical personnel.

[0011] In one embodiment, a second spring is fixedly connected to the top of the stop, and the top of the second spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the delivery robot. The second spring pushes the stop to move automatically downward, thereby blocking the front of the delivery robot and preventing the rolling medicine from falling.

[0012] In one embodiment, a corrugated pad is fixedly connected to the opposite end of the inclined block and the support. The stop block, inclined block, first spring, damping pad, and corrugated pad are all rubber components. The corrugated pad seals one side of the inclined block and the support, preventing the drug from rolling to the opposite end of the inclined block and the support.

[0013] Beneficial effects

[0014] 1. By cooperating with the servo motor, pulley and conveyor belt, the medicine on the medicine box is automatically discharged, and then the medicine automatically falls onto the surface of the inclined block. The block blocks the rolling range of the medicine falling on the inclined block, thereby preventing the medicine from rolling directly to the ground, reducing the damage to the medicine and ensuring the practicality of the medicine delivery robot.

[0015] 2. By cooperating with the first spring and the damping pad, the medicine falling onto the inclined block is buffered, avoiding damage caused by excessive impact when the medicine falls, ensuring the integrity of the medicine, and thus improving the practicality of the medicine delivery robot.

[0028] The following is combined with Figures 1-4 This invention describes a drug delivery robot that facilitates the placement and classification of medicines.

[0029] In one embodiment, a drug delivery robot for easy drug placement and sorting includes: a delivery robot 100; a protective mechanism 200, the protective mechanism 200 including drug placement frames 208 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the delivery robot 100 and evenly distributed, pulleys 209 rotatably connected to both sides of the inner wall of the drug placement frames 208, a servo motor 211 fixedly connected to the front end of the drug placement frames 208, the output shaft of the servo motor 211 fixedly connected to one end of one of the pulleys 209, a conveyor belt 210 drivingly connected between the surfaces of the two pulleys 209, a bracket 202 fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the delivery robot 100, an inclined block 203 slidably connected to the inner wall of the bracket 202, and a stop block 201 slidably connected to the inner wall of the delivery robot 100.

[0030] The delivery robot 100 typically consists of a vehicle body, drive system, navigation system, storage system, sensor system, communication system, and human-computer interaction system. These are common and well-known technologies in the field and are not closely related to the technical issues of this application. Therefore, no detailed expansion description has been provided.

[0031] In this embodiment, when medication needs to be delivered, the delivery robot 100 receives the medication delivery task from the hospital information system or the operating terminal of medical staff through the communication system. The task information includes the name and quantity of the medication to be delivered, the destination such as ward number and department, and the delivery time requirement. The navigation and path planning software plans the optimal driving path based on the current location and destination of the delivery robot 100, combined with real-time environmental information, and moves autonomously. During the journey, the sensor system monitors the surrounding environment in real time, automatically avoiding obstacles or pausing to wait when encountering obstacles to ensure driving safety. At the same time, the communication system communicates with the control center in real time to provide feedback on the robot's operating status and location information.

[0032] Once the robot reaches its destination, medical staff or patients input relevant information into the human-computer interaction system, automatically activating one of the servo motors 211. The output shaft of this servo motor rotates, driving one of the pulleys 209. This rotation of the pulley 209 causes the conveyor belt 210 to travel a short distance, causing the medication on the conveyor belt to fall onto the inclined block 203. The medication then slides down the bottom wall of the delivery robot 100. At this point, the medical staff or patient pulls the stop block 201 upwards, opening the delivery robot 100 to retrieve the medication. After confirming the accuracy of the medication, the delivery robot 100 records the delivery completion information and sends this information back to the hospital information system, completing the entire delivery process. Afterwards, the delivery robot 100 returns to its initial position or awaits its next task.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, several first springs 204 and damping pads 205 are fixedly connected to the opposite ends of the inclined block 203 and the bracket 202. The surface of the damping pads 205 is located in the inner ring of the first springs 204. Corrugated pads 206 are fixedly connected to the opposite ends of the inclined block 203 and the bracket 202. The stop block 201, the inclined block 203, the first springs 204, the damping pads 205 and the corrugated pads 206 are all rubber components.

[0034] In this embodiment, the medicine on the conveyor belt 210 is guided to the top of the inclined block 203 by the guide block 214. The inclined block 203 is subjected to the impact force of the falling medicine, which squeezes the first spring 204 and the damping pad 205. Because the rubber components of the stop block 201, inclined block 203, first spring 204 and damping pad 205 have good elasticity and buffering capacity, they effectively buffer the falling medicine and reduce the impact force on the medicine.

[0035] like Figure 4As shown, a guide block 214 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the drug delivery frame 208. The bottom of the guide block 214 forms an angle with the horizontal plane. The surface of the conveyor belt 210 is fixedly connected with equally arranged partitions 213. A transparent frame 212 is fixedly connected to the front end of the drug delivery frame 208. The transparent frame 212 is an acrylic plate component.

[0036] In this embodiment, when medication needs to be placed inside the delivery robot 100, medical staff input the relevant information into the human-computer interaction system, causing the blocking door at the front of the delivery robot 100 to open automatically, thus opening the delivery robot 100. At this time, medical staff place the corresponding medications on the top of the corresponding conveyor belt 210 through the identification signs stored in the transparent frame 212. The partition 213 separates the medications placed on the top of the conveyor belt 210, thereby classifying and placing different medications. After placement is completed, the front of the delivery robot 100 is closed.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, a second spring 207 is fixedly connected to the top of the stop 201, and the top end of the second spring 207 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the delivery robot 100.

[0038] Working principle: Medical staff or patients input relevant information into the human-computer interaction system, which automatically turns on one of the servo motors 211. The output shaft of the servo motor 211 rotates and interacts with the conveyor belt 210 through one of the pulleys 209. This causes the medicine on the conveyor belt 210 to be guided by the guide block 214 to the top of the inclined block 203. The inclined block 203 is impacted by the falling medicine, which compresses the first spring 204 and the damping pad 205, thus effectively buffering the falling medicine and reducing the impact force on the medicine. The medicine on the inclined block 203 slides onto the inner bottom wall of the delivery robot 100. At this time, the medical staff or patients pull the stop block 201 to move upward, opening the delivery robot 100 so that they can retrieve the medicine.

[0039] It should be noted that the delivery robot 100, medicine dispensing frame 208, pulley 209, conveyor belt 210 and servo motor 211 mentioned above are all components with relatively mature existing technology. The specific model can be selected according to actual needs. At the same time, the delivery robot 100 and servo motor 211 can be powered by the built-in power supply or by the mains power. The specific power supply method is selected according to the situation and will not be elaborated here.

[0040] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0041] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the appended claims.
