Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical equipment technology, and specifically relates to a mobile medicine picking cart. Background Technology

[0002] In the hospital's daily operations, after the central pharmacy completes the centralized preparation of medications, medical staff need to classify the prepared infusion bags, medicine bottles, medicine boxes, etc., and place them into corresponding storage baskets. These storage baskets filled with medications are then placed on multi-tiered mobile medication carts for transport to various wards or nursing units. In actual workflow, it is common for multiple medication carts already loaded with medications to be temporarily lined up in the corridor outside the pharmacy, waiting for centralized transport.

[0003] Currently, the medicine carts or multi-tiered carts commonly used in hospitals are mostly fixed, layered designs. Each tier is typically an independent, fixed-space basket or platform. The length of each platform is fixed and cannot be adjusted or retracted, resulting in a bulky cart. When multiple such carts are parked in the already limited space of hospital corridors, they occupy a huge amount of passage space, severely restricting the walking paths of medical staff, causing not only traffic congestion but also safety hazards. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a mobile medicine picking cart that solves the issues of large size and non-adjustable length of existing medicine picking carts.

[0006] Preferably, the limiting component includes a base plate and side plates. The base plate is connected to the support rod and has the mounting surface. The side plates are vertically disposed on the mounting surface and form a mounting position for mounting the fixed frame. The two oppositely disposed side plates are connected to the movable frame through the rotating arm.

[0007] Preferably, the base plate is provided with a tension bracket on one side corresponding to the movable frame, which is used to support the movable frame in the unfolded state, and the base plate is provided with a recycling groove corresponding to the tension bracket for storing the tension bracket.

[0008] Preferably, the surface of the tension bracket facing away from the base plate is provided with a first handle, and the movable frame is provided with a second handle.

[0009] Preferably, the base plate extends to form connecting ears on both sides, which are used to connect the support rods arranged in adjacent layers.

[0020] To resolve the above issues, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 2This utility model provides a mobile medicine picking cart, including a support rod 1, a storage component 2, and casters 3. The support rod 1 is provided with multiple limiting components 5 arranged in a linear array along its height direction. Each limiting component 5 has a mounting surface. The storage component 2 is limited and installed on the limiting components 5 and includes a fixed frame 21 and two symmetrically arranged movable frames 22. The fixed frame 21 is located on the surface of the mounting surface away from the ground. The movable frames 22 are rotatably connected to the limiting components 5 through a rotating arm 4, and the movable frames 22 rotate relative to the fixed frame 21 so that the movable frames 22 have a stored state under the fixed frame 21 and an unfolded state rotated to the side of the fixed frame 21. Four (or more) universal wheels 3 with braking function are installed at the bottom of the support rod 1. The universal wheels 3 are preferably made of polyurethane tires, which are quiet, wear-resistant, and do not damage the ground. Each wheel has a built-in ball bearing to ensure that pushing and steering are light and flexible. The braking device can be a foot-operated eccentric wheel brake to ensure the stability of the vehicle when picking up medicine at a fixed point or temporarily storing it.

[0021] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the limiting component 5 includes a base plate 51 and a side plate 52. The base plate 51 is connected to the support rod 1. The base plate 51 has the mounting surface. The side plate 52 is vertically arranged on the mounting surface and forms a mounting position for mounting the fixed frame 21. The fixed frame 21 is directly placed in the mounting position to support the fixed frame 21 and limit its position, preventing it from falling off the base plate 51. The two oppositely arranged side plates 52 are connected to the movable frame 22 through the rotating arm 4. Specifically, two first rotating shafts 521 are fixed on the outer surface of the short side plate 52, and each movable frame 22 is also fixed with a corresponding second rotating shaft 221. The rotating arm 4 is a long strip connecting rod with bearing sleeves at both ends, which are respectively fitted onto the first rotating shaft 521 of the side plate 52 and the second rotating shaft 221 of the movable frame 22, so that it can rotate simultaneously relative to the fixed frame 21 and its own rotating shaft, ensuring that the opening plane (i.e. the side of the frame that holds the items) of the movable frame 22 can always maintain an upward safe direction during the unfolding and storage process, and avoid spilling the loaded medicines.

[0022] The support, base plate 51, and side plate 52 are all made of stainless steel, which has high strength, good corrosion resistance, and is easy to clean and disinfect. The base plate 51 has connecting ears 511 extending from both sides. The connecting ears 511 are used to connect the support rods 1 set in the adjacent two layers. The support rods 1 are connected to the connecting ears 511 by welding, which has good connection strength and ensures the load-bearing capacity and durability of the overall structure.

[0023] Furthermore, to ensure the load-bearing stability of the movable frame 22 in the unfolded state, such as Figure 1 As shown, a recycling groove 512 is provided inside the base plate 51, and a tension bracket 6 is provided inside the recycling groove 512. The tension bracket 6 can slide along the length of the recycling groove 512. The tension bracket 6 is also made of stainless steel and consists of two support bars and a limiting bar that are movably inserted into the recycling groove 512. The limiting bar connects the other ends of the two support bars so that medical staff can pull out the two support bars at the same time. When the movable frame 22 is in the unfolded state, the tension bracket 6 is fully pulled out. The upper surface of the limiting bar is in direct contact with the bottom surface of the movable frame 22 in the unfolded state, which can provide effective support for the movable frame 22 and minimize friction and contact area. The load borne by the support bar is effectively transferred to the movable frame 22 through the limiting bar.

[0024] When the movable frame 22 is in the extended state, first rotate and pull the movable frame 22 from below the fixed frame 21 to a position higher than the fixed frame 21, then pull out the extension bracket 6, and then place the movable frame 22 on the extension bracket 6 to provide reliable bottom support for the extended movable frame 22 and prevent sinking or tipping due to the placement of heavy objects; when it is necessary to retract the movable frame 22, rotate and pull it to a position higher than the fixed frame 21, push the extension bracket 6 into the recycling slot 512, and then store the movable frame 22 to keep the bottom surface of the base plate 51 flat, with the limiting strip flush with the bottom surface of the base plate 51, so as not to affect the aesthetics and cleanliness.

[0025] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the surface of the stretchable support 6 facing away from the base plate 51 is provided with a first handle 61, and the movable frame 22 is provided with a second handle 222. The first handle 61 is welded to the stretchable support 6, and the second handle 222 is welded to the movable frame 22 to improve the connection strength and facilitate medical staff to quickly pull the movable frame 22 or the stretchable support 6, so as to quickly switch the movable frame 22 to the unfolded state and the retracted state.

[0026] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the side plate 52 located at the high position is provided with a trolley handle 7. Specifically, the short side plate 52 used to install the top-level storage component 2 has a push handle welded to the surface opposite to the fixed frame 21, providing medical staff with a gripping point to push the medicine cart, and working with the casters 3 to enable the medicine cart to move in any direction.

[0027] like Figure 1As shown, the medicine-dispensing cart also includes a support plate 8, which is connected to the side of the support rod 1 facing the fixed frame 21, with the support rod 1 located at the midpoint of the support plate 8. Specifically, the support plate 8 is welded to the side of the support rod 1 facing the fixed frame 21, the middle of the support plate 8 is connected to the support rod 1, the support plate 8 is parallel to the bottom of the fixed frame 21, and its two ends form support ends for supporting the movable frame 22 in the storage state. The support plate 8 prevents the movable frame 22 in the storage state from tilting significantly to one side, providing support for the movable frame 22 loaded with medicine, ensuring that its opening always maintains an upward safe direction, and preventing medicine from spilling.

[0028] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, a base frame 9 is provided between the support rod 1 and the caster wheel 3. Specifically, the base frame 9 is welded from stainless steel strips, and the part that abuts against the movable frame 22 has a cross-shaped structure, which has good support strength. The caster wheel 3 is connected to the side of the base frame 9 facing the ground.

[0029] Taking a two-layer medicine picking cart in the unfolded state as an example, the support plate 8 is only set between the two fixed frames 21 to support the top movable frame 22 in the storage state, while the bottom movable frame 22 is supported by the base frame 9 connected with casters 3, and the end of the support rod 1 facing the ground is connected to the base frame 9. In use, medical staff pull the second handle 222 to unfold the movable frame 22 from its stored state. After being supported by the stretching bracket 6, the required medicines are sorted and placed on the fixed frames 21 and the unfolded movable frames 22 on each layer. After the selection is completed, the movable frame 22 is pulled up to separate it from the stretching bracket 6. The stretching bracket 6 is pushed back to the recycling trough 512. The movable frame 22 is lowered, and its opening is always kept facing upwards to return it to its stored state. The movable frame 22 is rotated to be directly below the fixed frame 21 and then released. The rotation of the movable frame 22 is restricted by the support plate 8 and supported by the support plate 8, so that it is stably stored below the fixed frame 21. Medical staff load medicines from bottom to top according to the above operation. The medical staff grasp the trolley handle 7 and push the medicine-filled trolley with the universal wheels 3 to the next work point or storage location.

[0030] In summary, this medicine-collecting cart features a fixed frame 21 and a movable frame 22 that can rotate relative to the fixed frame 21, allowing medical staff to quickly switch the state of the movable frame 22 according to actual needs. During use, the movable frame 22 can be rotated to the side of the fixed frame 21 and unfolded for easy sorting and placement of medicines. When loaded or needing to pass through narrow passages, the movable frame 22 can be folded under the fixed frame 21, effectively reducing the lateral space occupied by the vehicle. The movable frame 22 is supported by a tension bracket 6 and a support plate 8 in both its unfolded and folded states, ensuring that its opening always faces upwards and preventing medicine spillage.
