請參閱圖1,本發明之一較佳實施例中,一自動取藥機包括一底盤10、一轉盤20、一上蓋30與至少一固定於該轉盤20上之藥盒40。Referring to FIG. 1, in an embodiment of the present invention, an automatic drug take-up machine includes a chassis 10, a turntable 20, an upper cover 30 and at least one medicine box 40 fixed to the turntable 20.
該底盤10之中部設有一凸柱11,一擾動裝置固定於該底盤10上,於本實施例中,該擾動裝置包括一馬達12與一凸輪14,該馬達12之一轉軸固定於凸輪14上,該馬達12轉動而可帶動凸輪14一起轉動。A stud 11 is disposed in the middle of the chassis 10. A jamming device is fixed to the chassis 10. In the embodiment, the agitating device includes a motor 12 and a cam 14. One of the motors 12 is fixed to the cam 14 The motor 12 rotates to drive the cam 14 to rotate together.
該轉盤20之中部設有一容置孔21,該容置孔21可容置該凸柱11插入其中,該轉盤20上設有複數呈放射狀之隔片22,該藥盒40可固定於兩兩相鄰之隔片22之間。An accommodating hole 21 is disposed in the middle of the turntable 20, and the accommodating hole 21 can accommodate the protrusion 11 inserted therein. The turntable 20 is provided with a plurality of radial spacers 22, and the medicine box 40 can be fixed to two Between two adjacent spacers 22.
藥盒40之底部為一軟片41,軟片41可被凸輪14抵壓而彈性變形,藥盒40可裝設藥片於其中。The bottom of the medicine box 40 is a film 41 which can be elastically deformed by being pressed by the cam 14, and the medicine box 40 can be provided with a tablet therein.
該上蓋30上裝設了一取藥臂31,取藥臂31可從藥盒40中取藥。The upper cover 30 is provided with a take-up arm 31, and the take-up arm 31 can take medicine from the medicine box 40.
請參閱圖1至圖4,組裝時,將馬達12與凸輪14固定於底盤10上,將底盤10之凸柱11插入轉盤20之容置孔21中,將藥盒40固定於轉盤20之兩隔片22之間,將藥盒40之底部之軟片41與凸輪14相對,然後將上蓋30固定到轉盤20上。Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, during assembly, the motor 12 and the cam 14 are fixed to the chassis 10, and the boss 11 of the chassis 10 is inserted into the receiving hole 21 of the turntable 20 to fix the medicine box 40 to the two of the turntable 20. Between the spacers 22, the film 41 at the bottom of the cartridge 40 is opposed to the cam 14, and then the upper cover 30 is fixed to the turntable 20.
使用時,若藥盒40之藥片堆疊於一起,馬達12轉動而驅動凸輪14轉動,凸輪14抵壓藥盒40底部之軟片41,從而讓軟片41變形,則藥盒40中之藥片被擾動而散開,從而方便取藥臂31取藥。In use, if the tablets of the medicine box 40 are stacked together, the motor 12 rotates to drive the cam 14 to rotate, and the cam 14 presses the film 41 at the bottom of the medicine box 40, thereby deforming the film 41, the tablets in the medicine box 40 are disturbed. Spread out, so that it is convenient to take the medicine arm 31 to take medicine.
