Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a medicine dispensing mechanism for a medicine dispensing machine, belonging to the technical field of medicine dispensing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] A medicine dispensing machine is used to dispense medicine into several compartments of a medicine tray. Traditional dispensing machines typically require the tray to be transported to the bottom of the medicine hopper, and then the tray is moved horizontally and vertically to align each compartment with the hopper's outlet for sequential dispensing. Because a rotating mechanism is needed to drive the tray between different stations, and a complex drive structure is required to move the medicine boxes horizontally and vertically below the hopper, a good connection between the rotating mechanism and this drive structure is essential. This approach inevitably increases the overall complexity of the structure. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a medicine dispensing mechanism for a medicine dispensing machine. By setting a temporary storage plate between the medicine hopper and the medicine tray for transfer, and driving the temporary storage plate to move by a horizontal drive device and a vertical drive device, instead of driving the medicine tray to move horizontally and vertically, the overall structure is effectively simplified.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a medicine dispensing mechanism for a medicine dispensing machine, comprising a temporary storage tray above a medicine receiving station, a medicine hopper above the temporary storage tray, a horizontal drive device, and a vertical drive device. The temporary storage tray is used to receive medicines placed from the medicine hopper and to release the received medicines downwards onto a medicine tray located at the medicine receiving station. The medicine tray has several accommodating cavities arranged in an array, and the temporary storage tray has multiple temporary storage cavities that can be vertically aligned with the accommodating cavities of the medicine tray. The horizontal and vertical drive devices are used to drive the temporary storage tray to move, thereby enabling each temporary storage cavity to move below the discharge port of the medicine hopper. A through hole is provided at the bottom of each temporary storage cavity, and a valve plate is provided inside the temporary storage cavity for supporting or releasing medicines downwards.

[0005] Valve plates in multiple temporary storage chambers in the same column are fixed on the same rotating shaft. A transmission plate is fixed on the rotating shaft. Multiple transmission plates are arranged in parallel and hinged to a laterally extending active plate. A guide is provided on the active plate. The guide is inserted into the guide groove of a moving block. The moving block is connected to a linear drive device.

[0006] The guide component is a roller.

[0007] The guide groove is set vertically.

[0008] The linear drive device includes a linear drive motor, the power output end of which is connected to a lead screw, and a nut is screwed onto the lead screw. The nut is mounted on the moving block via a bearing.

[0009] The lateral drive device includes a lateral drive motor and a lateral drive pulley assembly connected to the power output end of the lateral drive motor. The temporary storage disk is connected to the transmission belt of the lateral drive pulley assembly.

[0010] The lateral drive device is mounted on the longitudinal moving seat; the longitudinal drive device includes a longitudinal drive motor and a longitudinal drive pulley assembly connected to the power output end of the longitudinal drive motor, and the longitudinal moving seat is connected to the transmission belt of the longitudinal drive pulley assembly.

[0011] The medicine hopper is equipped with a baffle, and the baffle is equipped with a baffle shaft. The baffle shaft is connected to a baffle drive motor, which can drive the baffle to rotate, thereby opening or closing the discharge port of the medicine hopper.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the dispensing mechanism of the dispensing machine of this utility model allows the medicine in the medicine hopper to fall into the temporary storage chamber in the temporary storage tray. Driven by the horizontal and vertical drive devices, different temporary storage chambers move to below the discharge port of the medicine hopper, thus enabling the filling of different temporary storage chambers with medicine. Once the temporary storage tray is filled, the valve plate of the temporary storage chamber is opened, allowing the medicine to fall into the receiving chamber of the medicine tray directly below. Then, the medicine tray moving mechanism moves the medicine tray to the subsequent sealing station for sealing. Therefore, by setting a temporary storage tray as a medicine transfer device in the dispensing mechanism, the dispensing of multiple receiving chambers is ultimately achieved through the horizontal and vertical movement of the temporary storage tray, rather than moving the medicine hopper or medicine tray for alignment. This simplifies the overall structure and improves dispensing efficiency. The valve plates in multiple temporary storage chambers are uniformly driven by a single linear drive device, improving the consistency of action. The single drive mechanism is also more efficient and cost-effective. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0020] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this utility model discloses a medication dispensing machine, including a mounting frame 100 and a main body 200 located on the mounting frame. The main body 200 includes a medication tray release mechanism 1, a medication tray moving mechanism 2, a medication dispensing mechanism 3, a sealing mechanism 4, and a labeling mechanism 5. The medication tray release mechanism 1 stores multiple stacked medication trays 300. Each medication tray 300 has several receiving cavities 301 arranged in an array. Each receiving cavity 301 can be used to hold the entire dose of a single medication for a patient. The entire dose of medication for a patient over a period of time can be dispensed into different receiving cavities 301 of a single medication tray according to the total dose of a single medication. An empty medicine tray 300 is released downwards through the medicine tray release mechanism 1 to the medicine tray support device 21 in the medicine tray moving mechanism 2. Then, the medicine tray drive device 22 of the medicine tray moving mechanism 2 drives the medicine tray support device 21 to the medicine receiving station, the plastic sealing station, and the labeling station. Medicine is loaded through the medicine placement mechanism 3, sealed through the plastic sealing mechanism 4, and labeled through the labeling mechanism 5. After the above processes are completed, the medicine tray drive device 22 continues to drive the medicine tray support device 21 back to the bottom of the medicine tray release mechanism 1, and the medicine box 300 slides out through the discharge chute 400.

[0021] like Figures 3-5 As shown, the medicine dispensing mechanism 3 includes a temporary storage tray 31 located above the medicine receiving station, a medicine hopper 32 located above the temporary storage tray 31, a horizontal drive device, and a vertical drive device. The temporary storage tray 31 is provided with a plurality of temporary storage cavities 310 that can be vertically aligned with the receiving cavity 301 of the medicine tray.

The linear drive device can drive the moving block 316 to move linearly. When it moves linearly, the side wall of the guide groove 316a can push the guide member 315, thereby moving the active plate 314, driving the transmission plate 313 and the rotating shaft 312 to rotate, thereby realizing the opening or closing of the valve plate 311. In this embodiment, the linear drive device includes a linear drive motor 317. The power output end of the linear drive motor 317 is connected to a lead screw 318. A nut 319 is screwed onto the lead screw 318. The nut 319 is mounted on the moving block 316 through a bearing.
