[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0030] This application provides a dispensing cart for small-packaged Chinese herbal medicines with multi-layered storage space. This solves the problem that traditional dispensing carts commonly used in Chinese pharmacies are mostly fixed-shelf structures. The shelves are fixed to the frame by welding or bolts, making it impossible to switch between shelves. When the shelf containing the medicine is at its lowest position, operation is inconvenient, requiring staff to bend over multiple times with a large bending angle. Moreover, the traditional fixed structure has low space utilization, usually being a single or double-layer structure, which cannot meet the needs of Chinese pharmacies for classifying and storing large quantities of different types of small-packaged Chinese herbal medicines.

[0031] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0032] Example 1: This utility model embodiment discloses a dispensing cart for small-packaged Chinese herbal medicine pieces with multi-layer storage space, including a frame 1, several sets of storage platforms 2, several sets of storage compartments 3, snap-fit ​​posts 4, and a sleeve 5;

[0033] The frame 1 is designed with a multi-layer structure, which increases storage space and allows for the categorized storage of more types of small-packaged Chinese herbal medicine pieces, improving the orderliness of medicine storage and the convenience of access.

[0034] Several sets of storage platforms 2 are respectively snapped onto the multi-layer structure of the frame 1; the snapping method of the storage platforms 2 makes it easy to install and disassemble the storage platforms 2, and makes it easy to adjust the position or number of storage platforms 2 according to actual needs.

[0035] Several sets of storage compartments 3 are respectively set on the storage platform 2; the storage compartments 3 are provided with rims and are easy to fit with dispensing bags, so that medicines can be placed in dispensing bags. The dispensing bags are easy to open and close, and easy to pack during subsequent operations without manual handling. The storage compartments 3 give each medicine a fixed storage location, making it easy for staff to quickly find the medicines they need, improving dispensing efficiency and avoiding disordered storage and cross-contamination of medicines.

[0036] The snap-fit ​​post 4 is located at the bottom of the storage platform 2; the sleeve 5 is located on the multi-layer structure of the frame 1 and snaps into the snap-fit ​​post 4. The snap-fit ​​method of the snap-fit ​​post 4 and the sleeve 5 is simple and reliable, which makes it easy to remove the storage platform 2 from the frame 1, and facilitates the inventory, replenishment or replacement of Chinese herbal medicine pieces in the storage compartment 3.

[0037] According to the appendix Figure 3-5 As shown, the snap-fit ​​post 4 has a snap-fit ​​hole 41, and the sleeve 5 has a snap-fit ​​unit 6 for snapping the snap-fit ​​post 4. The snap-fit ​​unit 6 includes:

[0038] Sleeve 61 is fixedly connected to the side of sleeve 5;

[0039] Spring 62 is disposed inside sleeve 61;

[0040] The locking block 63 is slidably connected inside the sleeve 61 and fits against the spring 62. The locking block 63 is movably engaged in the locking hole 41.

[0041] When storage platform 2 is installed onto frame 1, the locking pin 4 is inserted into sleeve 5. The locking pin 4 presses against locking block 63, causing locking block 63 to move laterally. When the locking pin 4 is fully inserted into sleeve 5, locking block 63, under the elastic force of spring 62, engages with locking hole 41, achieving a secure engagement. To remove storage platform 2, simply lift it upwards with slight force.

[0042] According to the appendix Figure 5 As shown, the end of the locking block 63 near the locking hole 41 is designed as a ball head. A pull rod 64 is fixedly connected to the locking block 63. The ball head design makes the locking block 63 insert into the locking hole 41 more smoothly, reducing the occurrence of jamming and improving the efficiency and reliability of the locking. When jamming occurs, the operator can pull the pull rod 64 to directly pull out the locking block 63 and resolve the jamming problem.

[0043] According to the appendix Figure 1-2As shown, the frame 1 has casters 11 at the bottom and a push handle 12 and a hanging bracket 13 at the top. The casters 11 at the bottom of the frame 1 facilitate flexible movement of the vehicle in places such as hospitals and pharmacies. The push handle 12 is mounted on the top of the frame 1 for easy pushing by the operator. The hanging bracket 13 can be used to hang some commonly used dispensing tools, such as medicine spoons and labels.

[0044] A flat plate 14 is fixedly connected to the push handle 12, and a flat clip 15 is provided on the flat plate 14. The flat plate 14 and the flat clip 15 are used to hold prescription documents. During the dispensing process, the operator can place the prescription document on the flat clip 15 for easy viewing at any time, avoiding inconvenience caused by moving the vehicle or frequently taking and putting away the document.

[0045] According to the appendix Figure 1-2 As shown, a handle 21 is fixedly connected to the storage platform 2. When moving or adjusting the position of the storage platform 2, the operator can hold the handle 21, which makes it convenient to apply force and prevents slippage, thus improving the convenience and safety of operation.

[0046] This multi-layered storage cart for small-packaged Chinese herbal medicine pieces efficiently utilizes vertical space to meet patients' needs for multiple doses and categorize and store large quantities of Chinese herbal medicine pieces. Its snap-fit ​​structure is sturdy and easy to install and disassemble, facilitating the management of the herbal medicine pieces. Furthermore, it is equipped with auxiliary facilities such as casters 11, push handles 12, and flat clamps 15, improving the vehicle's mobility, ease of operation, and dispensing accuracy. This effectively solves the problems of low space utilization, inconvenient movement, and difficult management found in existing Chinese herbal medicine storage devices, bringing significant convenience and efficiency improvements to the dispensing of Chinese herbal medicine pieces.

[0047] The operation steps of the dispensing cart are as follows: First, according to the type and quantity of small-packaged Chinese herbal medicine pieces, place the medicines into the respective storage compartments 3; then, through the locking action of the locking post 4 and the sleeve 5, install the storage platform 2 in the corresponding position on the cart frame 1; during the dispensing process, the staff can move the dispensing cart to the work area using the push handle 12 and the casters 11, remove the necessary tools from the hanging part 13, clip the prescription document onto the flat clip 15 of the flat panel 14, and retrieve the total dosage of the corresponding type, specification, and quantity of Chinese herbal medicine pieces from the drawer according to the prescription information, and then perform the dispensing operation in the dispensing cart. If it is necessary to adjust the position of the storage platform 2 or clean the storage platform, the storage platform 2 can be removed from the cart frame 1 by pulling the storage platform 2 to separate the locking block 63 from the locking hole 41.
