[0025] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.

[0026] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" or "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, it can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium.

[0027] Figure 1 and Figure 2 The automatic sorting device for disposable infusion bottles (bags) shown includes a sorting machine 1, a conveyor belt 2 inside the sorting machine 1, a display screen 3 on the surface of the sorting machine 1, and several medicine boxes 4 placed on one side of the inner wall of the sorting machine 1. The inner wall of the sorting machine 1 is equipped with a protective device 5 located in the medicine box 4. The protective device 5 is assisted by a rotating plate 53 to safely fall the infusion bottle (bag) into the medicine box 4.

[0028] Figure 1 - Figure 5As shown, when sorting and dispensing infusion bottles (bags) using sorting machine 1, the sorting machine 1 is first started. Then, the bottles (bags) are manually loaded and placed flat on conveyor belt 2. They move to the scanning area via conveyor belt 2, where a scanning laser identifies the label code on the surface of the bottle (bag). As the conveyor belt 2 moves, the bottles (bags) are transported to the corresponding department's medicine box 4. At this point, the robotic arm inside the bottle (bag) pushes it away from the conveyor belt 2. Simultaneously, the servo motor 58 on the lower mounting plate 51 operates, causing the connected mounting rod 52 to rotate. This is because the upper mounting rod 52 is connected to the rotating shaft 54 ​​on the mounting plate 51 via gear 55, and the rotating shaft 54 ​​is connected to the chain 57 via sprocket 56. The connection between the upper and lower mounting rods 52 forms a connection relationship, so the two mounting rods 52 will rotate in opposite directions. At this time, the falling infusion bottle (bag) will fall between the two rotating plates 53 and slide as the mounting rods 52 rotate, and then fall between the adjacent rotating plates 53 of the lower mounting rod 52. Finally, through the rotation of the mounting rods 52, the infusion bottle (bag) slides into the medicine box 4. At the same time, the display screen 3 will record the corresponding data and upload the data to prompt the doctor to pick it up. When the sorting machine 1 is in use, it can better ensure that the disposable infusion bottle (bag) falls stably and safely into the medicine box 4, reducing the impact force generated by the fall, so that it is not easy to be damaged or broken by impact, thus improving the use effect and functionality of the sorting machine 1.

[0029] Figure 1 - Figure 5 The protective device 5 shown also includes protective plates 59 fixedly connected to the arc surfaces at both ends of the mounting rod 52. The protective plates 59 ensure that the infusion bottle (bag) is stably placed in the gap position of the rotating plate 53. By setting the protective plates 59, the infusion bottle (bag) is not easy to slip off the side when it falls on the surface of the rotating plate 53, which further improves the effectiveness of the protective device 5. The protective plates 59 also include several baffles 510. The baffles 510 are installed and fixed on one side of the rotating plate 53 on the arc surface of the mounting rod 52 near the conveyor belt 2. By setting the baffles 510, the infusion bottle (bag) is prevented from slipping off the surface of the rotating plate 53 when it falls on the surface of the mounting rod 52 above, thereby ensuring the stable transport and transfer of the infusion bottle (bag).

[0030] Figure 1 - Figure 5The protective device 5 shown also includes a fixing plate 511 through which the chain 57 is slidably disposed. The fixing plate 511 is connected and fixed to the mounting plate 51. The fixing plate 511 ensures that the position of the fixing plate 511 is fixed when the chain 57 is connected to the two sprockets 56 and rotates, and is not easy to loosen or detach. The surfaces of the two mounting plates 51 are respectively fixedly connected to connecting rods 512. One end of the two connecting rods 512 is equipped with an arc plate 513. With the setting of connecting rods 512 and arc plate 513, when the infusion bottle (bag) slides down from the rotating plate 53 on the lower mounting rod 52, it will slide further down along the inner wall of the arc plate 513, thereby further reducing the impact force of the fall.

[0031] Figure 1 and Figure 2 The two mounting plates 51 shown are fixedly connected to an assembly plate 514 at one end. The assembly plate 514 is connected and fixed to the sorting machine 1 by means of two bolts 515. When the mounting plate 51 is fixed to the inner wall of the sorting machine 1, the assembly plate 514, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the two mounting plates 51, is first fitted into the interior of the sorting machine 1. Then, the two bolts 515 are respectively passed through the two sides of the surface of the assembly plate 514, and then the bolts 515 are threaded into the interior of the sorting machine 1. At this time, the use of the protective device 5 will be more convenient and the later maintenance and repair will be easier.

[0032] Figure 1 and Figure 2 Positioning plates 516 are slidably inserted into both sides of the surface of the assembly plate 514 shown. The positioning plates 516 are connected and fixed to the inner wall of the sorting machine 1. With the setting of the positioning plates 516, when the assembly plate 514 is attached to the inner wall of the sorting machine 1, the two ends of the assembly plate 514 will be engaged in the inner wall of the two positioning plates 516, thereby realizing the pre-fixation of the position of the assembly plate 514 and improving the convenience of the installation of the protective device 5.

[0033] Working principle: When sorting and dispensing infusion bottles (bags) using sorting machine 1, sorting machine 1 is started first. Then, the bottles (bags) are manually loaded and placed flat on conveyor belt 2. They move to the barcode scanning area via conveyor belt 2. The scanning laser will identify the label code on the surface of the bottle (bag). Then, as conveyor belt 2 moves, the bottle (bag) is transported to the corresponding department's medicine box 4. At this time, the robotic arm inside the bottle (bag) will push the bottle (bag) away from conveyor belt 2. Simultaneously, the servo motor 58 (model PMM28) on the lower mounting plate 51 will run, thereby driving the mounting rod 52 connected to it to rotate. This is because the upper mounting rod 52 is connected to the rotating shaft 54 ​​on the mounting plate 51 through gear 55, and the rotating shaft 54 ​​is connected to the sprocket. The connection between chain 56 and chain 57 forms a connection with the mounting rod 52 below, so the two mounting rods 52 will rotate in opposite directions. At this time, the falling infusion bottle (bag) will fall between the two rotating plates 53 and slide as the mounting rod 52 rotates, and then fall between the adjacent rotating plates 53 of the lower mounting rod 52. Finally, through the rotation of the mounting rod 52, the infusion bottle (bag) slides into the medicine box 4. At the same time, the display screen 3 will record the corresponding data and upload the data to prompt the doctor to pick it up. When the sorting machine 1 is in use, it can better ensure that the disposable infusion bottle (bag) falls stably and safely into the medicine box 4, reducing the impact force generated by the fall, so that it is not easy to be damaged or broken by impact, thus improving the use effect and functionality of the sorting machine 1.

[0034] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
