Detailed Implementation
[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0033] The terms "first," "second," and "third" in this utility model are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined as "first," "second," or "third" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified. All directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of this utility model are only used to explain the relative positional relationships and movement of the components in a specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.
[0034] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.
[0035] Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of a drug dispensing device according to an embodiment of this utility model. Figure 1 As shown, the drug dispensing equipment 100 includes: an installation mechanism 1, a pressing and rotating mechanism 2, a printing mechanism 3, and a dispensing mechanism 4. The pressing and rotating mechanism 2 is located on the front of the installation mechanism 1; the printing mechanism 3 is located on the back of the installation mechanism 1; and the dispensing mechanism 4 is located on the front of the installation mechanism 1, below the pressing and rotating mechanism 2, and opposite to the printing mechanism 3.
[0036] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The shipping mechanism 4 includes: a housing 41, a conveying assembly 42 disposed in the housing 41, a carrying assembly 43 fixed to the conveying assembly 42 and partially exposed outside the housing 41, a normal product shipping port 44 disposed at one end of the conveying assembly 42, and an abnormal product shipping port 45 disposed at the other end of the conveying assembly 42.
[0037] Please see Figure 4 The loading assembly 43 includes a fixing member 431 connected to the conveying assembly 42, a rotating member 432 movably connected to the fixing member 431, and a goods limiting member 433 disposed around the rotating member 432 and fixed to the fixing member 431. The goods limiting member 433 is used to clamp the goods.
[0038] When the drug dispensing device 100 dispenses the drug, the goods are placed on the carrying component 43. The carrying component 43 conveys the goods to the area directly below the pressing and rotating mechanism 2 via the conveying component 42. After the pressing and rotating mechanism 2 moves to contact the goods, it presses the goods and rotates them so that the printing mechanism 3 can print the medical order information on the surface of the goods in real time. No manual operation of printing and information confirmation is required, thereby improving the user experience.
[0039] In some implementations, the printing mechanism 3 uses laser etching for non-contact printing, avoiding direct contact with the medicine and thus preventing contamination or physical damage.
[0040] In some implementations, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The housing 41 protects the conveying assembly 42 and may include a first housing 411 located on one side of the conveying assembly 42 and a second housing 412 located on the other side of the conveying assembly 42. A normal product outlet 44 is located between the first housing 411 and the second housing 412, and an abnormal product outlet 45 is located between the first housing 411 and the second housing 412. The first housing 411, the second housing 412, the normal product outlet 44, and the abnormal product outlet 45 together enclose the conveying assembly 42, and partially expose the loading assembly 43 fixed on the conveying assembly 42 outside the housing 41.
[0041] In some implementations, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The conveying assembly 42 includes a connecting plate 421, fixed frames 422 respectively disposed on opposite sides of the connecting plate 421, sprocket mounting seats 423 respectively disposed at both ends of the fixed frames 422, sprockets 424 disposed corresponding to the sprocket mounting seats 423, a drive motor connected to the sprockets 424, a chain 425 wound around the sprockets 424, and a chain guide 426 fixed on the fixed frames 422 and located at the bottom of the chain 425. This conveying assembly 42 can perform classified output of goods. When goods are shipped, the drive motor drives the sprocket 424 to drive the chain 425 in a forward transmission, thereby driving the goods out of the normal product outlet 44. When the front-end process of the equipment is cancelled or the order is cancelled, this is called abnormal order processing. The drive motor drives the sprocket 424 to drive the chain 425 in a reverse transmission, thereby driving the goods to the abnormal product outlet 45 for goods recovery. This achieves automatic sorting and shipping without the need for manual sorting, saving time and labor costs, and enabling timely response to abnormal order processing, thereby improving the user experience.
[0042] In some implementations, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5At least two goods limiting members 433 are provided, and the at least two goods limiting members 433 are arranged at intervals to partially expose the surface of the goods for the printing mechanism 3 to print medical order information. In this embodiment, two goods limiting members 433 are provided, and the two goods limiting members 433 are symmetrically arranged on the periphery of the rotating member 432 and fixed on the fixing member 431.
[0043] In some implementations, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The rotating component 432 includes a rotating base 4321, a bearing 4322 sleeved on the outside of the rotating base 4321 and passing through the fixing component 431, a base pressure plate 4323 located at the bottom of the bearing 4322 and connected to the rotating base 4321, and a bearing pressure plate 4324 sleeved on the outside of the bearing 4322 and connected to the bearing 4322. When goods are placed on the rotating base 4321, the rotating base 4321 and the bearing 4322 cooperate to drive the goods to rotate independently; the rotating component 432 can also cooperate with the downward rotating mechanism 2 to rotate.
[0044] In some implementations, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The fixing member 431 includes a fixing part 4311 located in the middle and connecting parts 4312 located on opposite sides of the fixing part 4311. The fixing part 4311 is connected to the rotating member 432, and the connecting parts 4312 are connected to the chain 425. The connecting parts 4312 and the chain 425 correspond one-to-one. In this embodiment, two chains 425 are provided, and the two connecting parts 4312 are respectively fixed on the two chains 425, which enables the conveying component 42 to drive the fixing member 431 to move stably through the chain 425, thereby driving the entire carrying component 43 to move together.
[0045] In some implementations, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The pressing and rotating mechanism 2 includes a lifting assembly 21 mounted on the mounting mechanism 1 and a pressing and rotating assembly 22 fixedly connected to the lifting assembly 21. The lifting assembly 21 drives the pressing and rotating assembly 22 to move up and down, and the pressing and rotating assembly 22 is used to press and rotate the goods. During shipment, the carrying assembly 43 transports the goods to the area directly below the pressing and rotating mechanism 2 via the conveying assembly 42. The lifting assembly 21 moves downward and drives the pressing and rotating assembly 22 to move until it contacts the goods. The pressing and rotating assembly 22 then presses and rotates the goods so that the printing mechanism 3 prints medical information on the surface of the goods.
[0046] In some implementations, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7The lifting assembly 21 includes a lead screw motor 211 fixed to the mounting mechanism 1, a lead screw 212 driven by the lead screw motor 211, a linear guide rail 213 fixed to the mounting mechanism 1 and parallel to the lead screw 212, and a lifting slider 214 slidably connected to the linear guide rail 213 and fixedly connected to the lead screw 212. When the lead screw motor 211 drives the lead screw 212 to move up and down, the lead screw 212 drives the lifting slider 214 to move up and down along the linear guide rail 213, thereby driving the pressing rotation assembly 22 to move up and down synchronously.
[0047] In some implementations, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The clamping rotation assembly 22 includes an adapter 221 fixedly connected to the lifting slider 214, a rotary motor 222 disposed above the adapter 221, a coupling 223 disposed in the adapter 221, a rotary bearing seat 224 disposed below the adapter 221, a rotating shaft 225 disposed in the rotary bearing seat 224, and a clamping component 226 disposed below the rotary bearing seat 224. The top of the rotating shaft 225 is connected to the rotary motor 222 via the coupling 223, and the bottom of the rotating shaft 225 is connected to the clamping component 226. The rotary motor 222 drives the rotating shaft 225 to rotate, and drives the clamping component 226 to rotate synchronously.
[0048] In some implementations, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The clamping component 226 includes a buffer fixing plate 2261 fixed below the rotary bearing seat 224 and fixedly connected to the rotary shaft 225, a buffer pressure plate 2262 spaced apart from the buffer fixing plate 2261, a linear bearing 2263 passing through the buffer fixing plate 2261, and a guide shaft 2264 passing through the linear bearing 2263. One end of the guide shaft 2264 is fixed to the buffer pressure plate 2262, and the other end of the guide shaft 2264 is provided with a limiting ring 2265.
[0049] Furthermore, the clamping component 226 also includes an elastic element 2266 sleeved on the guide shaft 2264, located between the buffer fixing plate 2261 and the buffer pressure plate 2262. In this embodiment, the elastic element 2266 is provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the guide shaft 2264. For example, two guide shafts 2264 are provided, and two elastic elements 2266 are provided accordingly. The elastic element 2266 has elastic recovery capability, such as a spring.
[0050] During shipment, the loading component 43 transports the goods to the area directly below the pressing and rotating mechanism 2 via the conveying component 42. The lifting component 21 moves downward and drives the pressing and rotating component 22 to move until the buffer plate 2262 contacts the goods. The lifting component 21 continues to move downward, and the reaction force of the goods on the buffer plate 2262 causes the elastic element 2266 to compress along the guide shaft 2264, thereby pressing the goods. Then, the rotary motor 222 drives the rotary shaft 225 to rotate and drives the pressing component 226 to rotate synchronously, so that the goods rotate synchronously, so that the printing mechanism 3 prints medical order information on the surface of the goods.
[0051] An embodiment of this utility model also provides an intelligent medicine vending machine, which includes the aforementioned medicine dispensing device 100. Detailed implementation of the medicine dispensing device 100 can be found in the description of the medicine dispensing device 100 provided in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.
