[0021] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a track-type automatic medicine dispensing machine, including a medicine dispensing device body 1, which includes a medicine frame 11 and a tray 12. Other structures on the medicine dispensing device body 1 adopt the structures in the patent documents mentioned in the background art, thereby enabling the rotation, lifting and lowering of the medicine frame 11 and its lateral movement along the track. This application will not elaborate on these details. This application is an improvement on the defects of existing track-type automatic medicine dispensing devices.

[0023] Specifically, the medicine cabinet 11 has several vertically distributed placement slots 111 extending from front to back. Each placement slot 111 holds a tray 12, and each tray 12 holds the same type of medicine. A push plate 2 that can move back and forth is installed within each placement slot 111. Specifically, sliding grooves 1111 are formed on both sides of each placement slot 111, and sliders 22 located within the sliding grooves 1111 are fixedly connected to both sides of the push plate 2 via connecting shafts 21. When the push plate 2 moves, it pushes out the corresponding tray 12 within the placement slot 111. When the placement slot 111 aligns with a medicine cabinet compartment, the tray 12 carries the medicine into the medicine compartment.

[0024] Furthermore, a positioning seat 3 is slidably mounted on the rear side of the medicine frame 11. Specifically, ear plates 112 are fixedly connected to the rear side of the medicine frame 11 at both ends, and the two ear plates 112 are connected by a guide shaft 7. A guide hole 31 is provided in the middle of the positioning seat 3, which is sleeved on the outside of the guide shaft 7. An electric push rod 4 is provided on the side of the positioning seat 3 opposite to the medicine frame 11. When the positioning seat 3 moves up and down, it can drive the output shaft of the electric push rod 4 to align with the trays 12 in different placement slots 111, thereby pushing each tray 12 into the corresponding medicine cabinet compartment.

[0025] The rear of the medicine frame 11 is equipped with a control assembly 5 for controlling the up and down movement of the positioning seat 3.

[0026] Specifically, the control assembly 5 includes a lead screw 51, a lead sleeve 52, and a control motor 53. The lead screw 51 is rotatably connected between two ear plates 112. The lead sleeve 52 is fixedly installed on the back of the positioning seat 3 and sleeved on the lead screw 51. The control motor 53 is fixedly installed on one side of one of the ear plates 112 and its output shaft is fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw 51. The control motor 53 provides driving force to the rotation of the lead screw 51. When the lead screw 51 rotates, it uses the rotational force to push the positioning seat 3 up and down.

[0027] In this embodiment, a controller 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the medicine frame 11 and is electrically connected to the electric push rod 4 and the control motor 53. The controller 8 has a built-in control circuit board for controlling the operation of the electric push rod 4 and the control motor 53. An operation panel can be set on the outside of the controller 8. The operation panel is equipped with a display and buttons. The operator can ultimately control the electric push rod 4 to push out the corresponding tray 12 by pressing the buttons.

[0028] In this embodiment, the slide groove 1111 is equipped with a return spring 6. One end of the return spring 6 abuts against the side of the slider 22 away from the positioning seat 3. That is, when the electric push rod 4 is retracted, the return spring 6 will extend and push the push plate 2 to reset, without the need for manual reset, which facilitates the next push of the electric push rod 4. A limiting shaft 11112 passing through the return spring 6 can be fixedly connected to both ends of the slide groove 1111. The limiting shaft 11112 passes through the slider 22 with a gap, and the limiting shaft 11112 serves to limit the position of the return spring 6.

[0029] Working principle: In use, first install the T-shaped top plate on the main body 1 of the medicine placement device on the ceiling wall of the room, and ensure that the gap between the medicine frame 11 and the medicine cabinet is small when the medicine frame 11 is in front of the medicine cabinet. When the medicine in several medicine cabinet compartments is used up, control the medicine frame 11 to descend and flip, and put multiple trays 12 filled with medicine into the corresponding placement slots 111. Control the medicine frame 11 to flip and move laterally to the front of an empty compartment on the front side of the medicine cabinet. Then, start the control motor 53 through the controller 8. The lead screw 51 rotates and drives the positioning seat 3 to move so that the electric push rod 4 and one side of the tray 12 in one of the placement slots 111 are opposite each other. Then control the electric push rod 4 to push the tray 12 carrying medicine into the currently empty compartment. Then control the medicine frame 11 to move to the next empty compartment. Repeat the above operation to push the corresponding tray 12 into the compartment.

[0030] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
