[0002] With the continuous development of pharmaceutical research and clinical medicine, drug preparation has become a crucial and complex step. Traditional drug preparation methods mainly rely on manual operation, which suffers from problems such as inaccurate preparation, low efficiency, and cumbersome procedures. Furthermore, hygiene and safety during drug preparation face significant challenges; cross-contamination or incorrect preparation can seriously threaten patient safety. Therefore, developing a device that can automate, accurately, and safely complete drug preparation has become an urgent need in the pharmaceutical field.
[0003] Existing automated medication dispensing devices have several shortcomings: first, they cannot accurately adjust dosages according to individual patient needs; second, medication management is chaotic, easily leading to confusion or waste due to expiration; third, they are structurally complex and space-consuming; and fourth, they lack real-time monitoring and feedback functions, failing to ensure medication accuracy and timeliness. The root of these problems lies in the fact that traditional medication dispensing devices have failed to deeply integrate automation and information technology to improve the accuracy, efficiency, and adaptability of medication dispensing. There is an urgent need to develop an innovative and convenient medication dispensing device to overcome these challenges and meet the needs of modern hospital pharmacy for efficient and accurate medication dispensing.
[0004] Therefore, based on the above search and combined with existing technology, a convenient dispensing device for hospital pharmacy is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

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.
[0025] In one typical implementation of this application, please refer to Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a convenient dispensing device for hospital pharmacy includes: a support 1, a drug storage compartment 2 fixedly installed on the top surface of the support 1, a cover plate 3 rotatably connected to the top surface of the drug storage compartment 2 via a hinge, a sealing strip between the cover plate 3 and the top surface of the drug storage compartment 2 to prevent the drug from coming into contact with air due to the cover plate 3 not being sealed tightly, an observation compartment 4 opened on the side wall of the drug storage compartment 2 for observing the quantity of the drug in the drug storage compartment 2, and an opening provided on the bottom surface of the drug storage compartment 2;
[0026] A medication retrieval mechanism, installed on the inner wall of the support 1, is used to retrieve medications from the medication storage compartment 2. The medication retrieval mechanism includes:
[0027] A fixed block 5 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the bracket 1. A vibrator 19 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the fixed block 5. The vibrator 19 is used to vibrate the fixed block 5. A drug leakage port 6 is opened on the top surface of the fixed block 5. The drug leakage port 6 is connected to the opening at the bottom of the drug storage chamber 2. An electric push rod 7 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the drug leakage port 6. The output shaft of the electric push rod 7 is connected to a sealing plate 8. The electric push rod 7 and the sealing plate 8 cooperate with each other to seal the medicine in the drug storage chamber 2. The drug dispensing mechanism also includes a diversion component.
[0028] The diversion assembly includes a diversion chamber 9, which is fixedly installed below the drug leakage port 6. A connecting block 10 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the diversion chamber 9. Both sides of the inner wall of the diversion chamber 9 are provided with inclined surfaces 11. Multiple circular grooves are opened on the bottom surface of the diversion chamber 9. The circular grooves are used to drop the medicine in the drug storage chamber 2 into the receiving tray 20 below. Each of the circular grooves opened in the diversion chamber 9 is provided with a switch.
[0029] The switching component includes: a circular ring 12, which is set in a circular groove in the diversion chamber 9. A drain pipe 13 is set below the circular ring 12. A support rod 14 is set between the circular ring 12 and the drain pipe 13. A groove 15 is set on the side wall of the connecting block 10. The switching component also includes: a limiting rod 16, which is fixedly installed in the groove 15. A connecting rod 17 is sleeved on the outer surface of the limiting rod 16. The other end of the connecting rod 17 is connected to the bottom of the drain pipe 13. An electromagnet 18 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the groove 15. When the electromagnet 18 is energized, the connecting rod 17 will be attracted by the electromagnet 18, thereby driving the drain pipe 13, the support rod 14 and the circular ring 12 into the diversion chamber 9. Then, the medicine flows into the drain pipe 13 through the gap between the circular ring 12 and the drain pipe 13, and then flows into the receiving tray 20 from the drain pipe 13. The electromagnet 18 can be partially opened as needed, so that part of the circular ring 12 and the drain pipe 13 can enter the diversion chamber 9.
[0030] Inside the bracket 1, below the fixing block 5, a medicine receiving tray 20 is fixedly installed. The bottom of the medicine receiving tray 20 has a leakage hole 21. Inside the bracket 1, a weighing device body 22 is fixedly installed. The top surface of the weighing device body 22 is provided with a medicine dispensing tray 23.
[0031] A ring rod 24 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the bracket 1, and a controller 25 is fixedly installed on the other end of the ring rod 24. The controller 25 can control the equipment.
[0032] Working principle:
[0033] In use, first open the cover 3, place the medicine into the medicine storage chamber 2, and then close the cover 3. The quantity of medicine in the medicine storage chamber 2 can be observed through the observation chamber 4. When medicine needs to be retrieved, the controller 25 controls the electric push rod 7 to work. The output shaft of the electric push rod 7 drives the sealing plate 8 to move, opening the medicine leakage port 6. Under its own gravity and the action of the vibrator 19, the medicine enters the medicine leakage port 6 through the opening at the bottom of the medicine storage chamber 2, and then falls into the diversion chamber 9. The inclined surfaces 11 on both sides of the inner wall of the diversion chamber 9 guide the medicine to move towards the bottom of the diversion chamber 9. The controller 25 controls the corresponding electromagnet 18 to be energized according to the required dosage and type of medicine. After the electromagnet 18 is energized, it attracts the connecting rod 17. The connecting rod 17 drives the leakage tube 13, the support rod 14, and the ring 12 to move upward, so that a gap is formed between the ring 12 and the inner wall of the diversion chamber 9. The medicine falls into the corresponding leakage tube 13 through the gap and slides down the leakage tube 13 onto the receiving tray 20. The medicine on the receiving tray 20 falls through the drain hole 21 onto the dispensing tray 23. At this time, the weighing device body 22 weighs the medicine on the dispensing tray 23. When the weight of the medicine reaches the preset value, the controller 25 controls the corresponding electromagnet 18 to de-energize, and the connecting rod 17 resets under the limiting action of the limiting rod 16. The drain tube 13, support rod 14, and ring 12 return to their initial positions, stopping the medicine from falling. After the medicine is dispensed, the dispensing tray 23 can be removed from the side wall of the support 1 for subsequent use or processing. Throughout the process, the ring rod 24 supports and fixes the controller 25, ensuring that the controller 25 is stably installed on the support 1, facilitating operation by the operator.
[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
