[0034] Example

[0035] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides an automatic refill device for a portable intelligent medicine dispensing refrigerator. The dispensing refrigerator includes multiple storage compartments 1 for storing vials or ampoules of medicine. Since various sizes of vials or ampoules are currently available on the market, the structure of the automatic refill device of this utility model is specifically described using a storage compartment 1 storing only one size of ampoule medicine as an example. The structure of the automatic refill device in other storage compartments storing vials of medicine or ampoule medicine of different sizes is similar to that of this embodiment.

[0036] One end of the storage compartment 1 is provided with an opening for dispensing medicine. The storage compartment 1 is provided with a conveyor belt 2 for conveying ampoule medicines in the direction of the opening. The conveyor belt 2 is provided with a partition plate 3 for separating the ampoules. The structure of the medicine dispensing opening of the dispensing cabinet is described in Chinese Patent Application No. "2025103852586".

[0037] The other end of the storage compartment 1 is equipped with a heat-insulating, operable door 4, and the door 4 is surrounded by a sealing strip for heat preservation. Normally, when the dispensing freezer is running, the door 4 is closed to maintain the temperature in the storage compartment 1. When it is necessary to replenish the medicine in the storage compartment 1, the door 4 of the storage compartment is opened. Each storage compartment is equipped with an insulated door, so when the pharmacist replenishes the medicine, he only needs to open the insulated door of the specific storage compartment that needs to be replenished, without having to open the doors of other storage compartments that do not need to be replenished, thus reducing the consumption of cold air in the dispensing freezer and achieving the purpose of energy conservation and environmental protection.

[0038] Storage compartment 1 is provided with a storage box 5 for storing ampoules that can be removed from storage compartment 1; storage box 5 includes a box body 10 and a storage channel 9 located at the bottom of box body 10 for ampoules to be moved in one by one in sequence; storage channel 9 and box body 10 are an integral structure.

[0039] The box 10 is a hollow structure similar to a funnel, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The box 10 has openings at the top and bottom, and the two openings are two parallel rectangles. The width of the upper opening rectangle is slightly larger than the height of the ampoule, and the length of the lower opening rectangle is slightly larger than the height of the ampoule. The two sides of the box 10 are trapezoidal.

[0040] Storage channel 9 is a hollow cuboid structure with openings at the top and bottom. These openings are two parallel rectangles of equal size, with the length of the rectangle slightly greater than the height of the ampoule. The upper opening of storage channel 9 is the same size as the lower opening at the bottom of the housing 10, and the two are fixedly connected and communicate with each other, allowing ampoules to be moved sequentially, one after another, from the housing 10 into storage channel 9. The height of storage channel 9 is slightly greater than the maximum diameter of the ampoule.

[0041] An electric telescopic rod 11 is provided on the inner wall of storage compartment 1 for moving storage box 5 into or out of storage compartment 1. The end of the electric telescopic rod 11 is fixed to the side of the box body 10. A sliding groove 12 is also provided on the inner wall of storage compartment 1. A slide rail 13 that can move in the sliding groove 12 is provided on the side of the box body 10 of storage box 5. Storage box 5 can move into or out of storage compartment 1 along the sliding groove 12 by extending and retracting the electric telescopic rod 11 and by moving the slide rail 13 in the sliding groove 12. A blocking block 14 is provided on the sliding groove 12. A blocking block 25 corresponding to the blocking block 14 is provided on the slide rail 13. The blocking block 14 and the blocking block 25 abut against each other to limit the position of storage box 5, so that storage box 5 can return to its original position when moved, and to connect storage channel 9 and storage channel 2 6.

[0042] Below storage channel 9 of storage box 5, there is a fixed storage channel 2 6 for ampoules to be moved in one by one. Storage channel 2 6 is an arc-shaped, hollow channel running from top to bottom. The height of storage channel 2 6 is slightly larger than the maximum diameter of the ampoule, and the width of storage channel 2 6 is slightly wider than the height of the ampoule. In storage channels 9 and 2 6, the central axis of each ampoule is horizontal, and the central axis of each ampoule decreases sequentially in a direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The ampoules are arranged one by one and move downwards gradually by their own weight.

[0043] Below the storage channel 2 6 is a medicine pusher 7 and a medicine pusher device 8 located on one side of the medicine pusher 7;

[0044] The medicine pusher 7 is fixed at the channel exit below the storage channel 2 6. The upper surface of the medicine pusher 7 is provided with a groove 19 for holding ampoules. The groove 19 is shaped to match the shape of the ampoule, and the length of the groove 19 is consistent with the height of the ampoule. The depth of the groove 19 is equal to or less than the radius of the ampoule. When the ampoule slides into the groove 19, it gets stuck and cannot move further by its own weight. The ampoule in the groove 19 also blocks the last ampoule in the storage channel 2 6, preventing the ampoules in the storage channel 2 6 from slipping out.

[0045] A medicine pushing device 8 is provided on one side of the medicine pushing platform 7. The medicine pushing device 8 includes a base 20 and a retractable push rod 21. The horizontally retractable push rod 21 is provided on the base 20. The push rod 21 extends in the direction of the length of the groove 19; the extension length of the push rod 21 is greater than the height of the ampoule.

[0046] The length of the groove 19 corresponds to the space between adjacent partition plates 3 on the conveyor belt 2. When the push rod 21 is pushed out, it pushes the ampoule in the groove 19 to move into the space between adjacent partition plates 3 on the conveyor belt 2 until the ampoule is pushed onto the conveyor belt 2. The front and rear sides of the ampoule on the conveyor belt 2 are adjacent partition plates 3.

[0047] When push rod 21 is pushed out along the length of groove 19, since the diameter of push rod 21 is the same as the diameter of ampoule, push rod 21 also blocks the last ampoule in storage channel 2 6, preventing the ampoule in storage channel 2 6 from slipping out; until push rod 21 pushes the ampoule onto conveyor belt 2, push rod 21 retracts, and the last ampoule in storage channel 2 6 can slide into groove 19;

[0048] The adjacent partition plates 3 on the conveyor belt 2 divide the ampoules on the conveyor belt 2 into individual compartments; the length direction of the ampoules on the conveyor belt 2 is perpendicular to the forward direction of the conveyor belt 2; the conveyor belt 2 moves towards the dispensing end compartment by compartment, dispensing the ampoules one by one; when an ampoule is dispensed, one compartment moves to the position directly opposite the groove 19, and the dispensing system accordingly activates the medicine pushing device 8 to push the ampoule on the groove 19 into the compartment of the conveyor belt 2; after the push rod 21 pushes the ampoule onto the conveyor belt 2, the push rod 21 retracts, and one ampoule in the storage channel 2 6 slides into the groove 19 to wait for the next compartment to appear.

[0049] The bottom of storage channel 9 is equipped with a sensor to monitor whether there are ampoules in storage channel 9; when the sensor detects that there are no ampoules in storage channel 9, it will issue a prompt signal to remind the pharmacist that the medicine needs to be replenished.

[0050] Storage channel 1 9 and storage channel 2 6 are detachable connection structures; a movable baffle 16 is provided at the bottom opening of storage channel 1 9; sliding groove structures are provided on both sides of the bottom opening of storage channel 1 9, and the left and right sides of the baffle 16 are engaged in the sliding grooves and can move back and forth in the sliding grooves, thereby closing or opening the bottom opening of storage channel 1 9; a step 17 is provided on the side of the baffle 1 1 facing the dispensing port of storage compartment 1; a step 2 18 is provided on the side of the opening above storage channel 2 6 facing the heat preservation door 4;

[0051] When storage channel 19 is connected to storage channel 26, step 17 abuts against step 218, and baffle 16 is in the state of being removed from the bottom opening of storage channel 19.

[0052] When it is detected that there are no ampoules in storage channel 9 that need to be replenished, the pharmacist opens the insulated door 4. The electric telescopic rod 11 moves the empty storage box 5, including the box body 10 and storage channel 9, out of the insulated door 4. The pharmacist then manually pushes the baffle 16 towards the storage compartment 1, thereby sealing the bottom opening of storage channel 9. The ampoules are then laid flat and placed into storage box 5 one by one, with the central axis of the ampoules horizontal and perpendicular to the forward direction of the conveyor belt 2. Ampoules can be placed until the box body 10 and storage channel 9 are full. The electric telescopic rod 11 then moves the fully loaded storage box... Storage box 5 is placed into storage compartment 1; during the retraction of the electric telescopic rod 11, step 17 on the baffle 16 abuts against step 18 at the opening of storage channel 2 6; step 18 pushes open the baffle 16 and connects storage channel 1 9 with storage channel 2 6; at this time, blocking block 14 on the slide 12 abuts against blocking block 15 on the slide rail 13; storage box 5 moves back to its original position, and storage channel 1 9 and storage channel 2 6 are connected; the ampoule in storage channel 1 9 abuts against the ampoule in storage channel 2 6; or the ampoule in storage channel 1 9 slides into storage channel 2 6.

[0053] Use of this utility model:

[0054] 1. When the sensor at the bottom of storage channel 9 detects that there are no ampoules in storage channel 9, it will issue a prompt signal to remind the pharmacist that the medicine needs to be replenished;

[0055] 2. The pharmacist opens the insulated door 4 and visually confirms that there are no ampoules in the storage channel 9; activates the electric telescopic rod 11 to move the empty storage box 5 outside the insulated door 4; pushes the baffle 16 to seal the bottom of the storage box 5 (that is, the bottom of the storage channel 9) and begins to replenish the medicine;

[0056] 3. After the medicine is replenished, start the electric telescopic rod 11 to move the storage box 5 into place; push the baffle 16 on the step 2 18 and connect the storage channel 1 9 with the storage channel 2 6.

[0057] 4. Close the insulated door 4; the conveyor belt 2 moves towards the dispensing end one section at a time, dispensing ampoules one by one; when an ampoule is dispensed, an empty slot moves to the position directly opposite the groove 19, and the dispensing system accordingly activates the medicine pushing device 8 to push the ampoule on the groove 19 into the empty slot of the conveyor belt 2; after the push rod 21 pushes the ampoule onto the conveyor belt 2, the push rod 21 retracts, and one ampoule in the storage channel 2 6 slides into the groove 19 to wait for the next empty slot to appear.

[0058] 5. If the ampoules in the housing 10 cannot slide into the storage channel 9 due to mutual compression, the sensor at the bottom of the storage channel 9 will detect that there are no ampoules in the storage channel 9 and issue a warning signal. If the pharmacist sees this situation, they can activate the "vibration mode" and activate the electric telescopic rod 11 to quickly extend and retract a short distance (keeping the storage channel 9 and the storage channel 6 partially connected). The blocking block 14 on the slide 12 will collide with the blocking block 15 on the slide rail 13. By shaking the housing 10, the ampoules will slide into the storage channel 9.

[0059] During the dispensing process, pharmacists scan the barcodes of replenished medications and upload the data to the hospital's internal management network for management through the HIS system, thus achieving intelligent medication management.
