[0017] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment discloses a medicine storage cabinet, including a cabinet 1. Multiple drawers 2 are installed inside the cabinet 1. Each drawer 2 is slidably mounted inside the cabinet 1 via side rails 3 on both sides. Multiple drive sources are provided inside the cabinet 1, with each drawer 2 corresponding to one of the drive sources. Each drawer 2 is driven by its corresponding drive source to extend or retract from the cabinet 1. In this application, multiple drawers 2 are installed inside the cabinet 1 via side rails 3, and all drawers 2 can slide. Each drawer 2 is driven by a single drive source, ensuring that each drawer 2 can be independently controlled. When a medicine is needed from a particular drawer 2, the corresponding drive source drives that drawer 2 to extend out of the cabinet 1, allowing the user to retrieve the medicine without having to reach into the cabinet 1. This greatly improves the convenience for users.

[0018] like Figure 9As shown, each drive source includes a motor 4, a driving synchronous pulley 8, a synchronous belt 6, and a driven synchronous pulley 7. The driving synchronous pulley 8 and the driven synchronous pulley 7 are installed on the front and rear sides of the cabinet 1, respectively. The synchronous belt 6 is fitted onto the driving synchronous pulley 8 and the driven synchronous pulley 7 and meshes with them respectively. The output shaft of the motor 4 is fixedly connected to the center of the driving synchronous pulley 8. The drawer 2 is fixedly connected to the synchronous belt 6. Preferably, the rear end of the drawer 2 is fixedly connected to the upper layer of the synchronous belt 6. The combination of the motor 4, the synchronous pulleys, and the synchronous belt 6 results in a simple structure and stable transmission.

[0019] like Figure 9 As shown, a position sensing element is provided between drawer 2 and cabinet 1 to sense the two extreme positions of drawer 2, ensuring the two extreme positions of drawer 2 extending and retracting. The position sensing element in this embodiment includes: Two slotted sensors 9 are installed at the front and rear ends of the cabinet 1, respectively; The object to be detected, 10, is fixed on the drawer 2. The object to be detected, 10, can move with the drawer 2 to any groove of the slot-shaped sensor 9. This enables high-precision positioning and accurate detection.

[0020] A circuit board is installed at the bottom of drawer 2. The upper surface of the circuit board has multiple RFID induction coils arranged in a matrix. An isolation layer 11 is provided on the upper surface of the circuit board, and multiple perforations 12 are provided on the isolation layer 11. The number of perforations 12 is the same as the number of RFID induction coils, and they are aligned vertically to detect the quantity of medicine. The isolation layer 11 is made of foam or sponge.

[0021] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, cabinet 1 has multiple drawer slots, and multiple drawers 2 are installed in these slots. The cabinet has no doors 5. Cabinet 1 is equipped with locks 14 for securing the drawers 2. When the cabinet is not in use, the locks 14 can be used to lock the drawers 2 to cabinet 1. Locks 14 include a gear 14a and a transmission rod 14b. The end of the transmission rod 14b near the gear 14a has multiple transmission holes 14c. The transmission rod 14b is guided by a guide groove 15 on cabinet 1 and can only move vertically up and down. Part of the gear 14a's teeth are always inserted into part of the transmission holes 14c of the transmission rod 14b. The transmission rod 14b has multiple locking tongues 14d. When the gear 14a rotates, it drives the transmission rod 14b to move up and down, allowing the locking tongues 14d to be inserted into the drawers 2 and locked. Conversely, when the gear 14a rotates in the opposite direction, the locking tongues 14d disengage from the drawers 2, and the drawers 2 can be extended out of cabinet 1 by a motor 4.

[0022] In other embodiments, such as Figures 6 to 8As shown, a cabinet door 5 is provided on the front side of the cabinet 1. Multiple drawers 2 are installed inside the cabinet 1 and are covered by the cabinet door 5. A lock 14 is provided on the cabinet door 5 to lock the cabinet door 5 to the cabinet 1.

Do not insert the gear 14a into the transmission hole 14c of the two transmission rods 14b. When the gear 14a rotates, it drives the two transmission rods 14b to move in opposite directions or towards each other. When they move in opposite directions, the upper locking tongue 14e is inserted into the top of the cabinet 1 and the lower locking tongue 14f is inserted into the bottom of the cabinet 1, which can lock the cabinet door 5 onto the cabinet 1. Conversely, when the gear 14a rotates in the opposite direction, the two transmission rods 14b move towards each other, the upper locking tongue 14e and the lower locking tongue 14f disengage from the cabinet 1, the cabinet door 5 can be opened, and the drawer 2 can be extended out of the cabinet 1 by the motor 4.

[0023] In some embodiments, the rotation of gear 14a can be achieved by a mechanical key, such as by providing a keyhole in the middle of gear 14a.

[0024] In some embodiments, gear 14a is driven by a gear motor, and the gear motor is started by a program. For example, a medicine cabinet information input terminal 13 can be set on the medicine storage cabinet. Users can enter relevant information through face recognition, QR code scanning, password input, etc. After the user enters relevant information on the medicine cabinet information input terminal 13, the medicine cabinet automatically starts the gear motor, which then drives gear 14a to rotate and run, and then the corresponding motor drives it.
