In such an embodiment, a conveying mechanism for conveying the medicine may be provided in the bucket 300 to convey the medicine in the bucket 300 into the recovery bin 500.

In the case of the dispenser 010 not having the transfer bin 400, the control device 600 is further configured to: under the condition that the information of the to-be-delivered drugs in the target cargo channel is matched with the information of the target drugs, controlling a first drug conveying mechanism 220 in the target cargo channel to convey the to-be-delivered drugs in the target cargo channel to a cargo hopper 300; determining whether all of the medicines contained in the prescription have been taken out of the lane 210 and whether the amount of the medicines contained in the bucket 300 has reached a set value; in the case where the medicines contained in the prescription have all been taken out of the lane 210 or the amount of the medicines contained in the bucket 300 has reached a set value, controlling the bucket 300 to convey the received medicines to the access port 128; in the case where all of the medicines contained in the prescription are not taken out of the lane 210 and the amount of the medicines contained in the bucket 300 does not reach the set value, the bucket 300 is controlled to continue to receive the medicines to be dispensed.

On the basis of the above embodiments of the present application, the control device 600 may be further configured to: after controlling the delivery device to transport the medicine to be delivered in the target lane to the recovery bin 500, the hopper 300 is controlled to receive the medicine to be delivered in the target lane at least once again. Wherein, controlling the bucket 300 to receive the to-be-delivered drugs in the target channel at least comprises: controlling the bucket 300 to move to the target cargo channel and acquiring information of the to-be-delivered drugs in the target cargo channel through the second recognition mechanism 340; judging whether the information of the medicine to be delivered in the target goods channel is matched with the information of the target medicine; in the case that the information of the medicine to be delivered in the target lane does not match the information of the target medicine, controlling the delivery device to transport the medicine to be delivered in the target lane to the recovery bin 500; wherein the to-be-delivered drugs in the target lane are the drugs in the target lane closest to the exit of the lane 210. Through the medicine dispensing machine 010 of the embodiment, when the information of the medicine to be dispensed sent out from the target goods channel is judged not to be matched with the information of the target medicine, the medicine can be taken out from the target goods channel again, and the problem that the medicine needed by the medicine taking user cannot be dispensed to the medicine taking user due to the fact that the individual medicine in the target goods channel is placed wrongly is avoided.

Further, the control device 600 is specifically configured to control the bucket 300 to receive the medicine to be delivered in the target channel at least once again by: the cargo hopper 300 is controlled to move to the target cargo channel, and the information of the to-be-delivered drugs in the target cargo channel is acquired through the second identification mechanism 340; judging whether the information of the medicine to be delivered in the target goods channel is matched with the information of the target medicine; under the condition that the information of the to-be-delivered drugs in the target channel is not matched with the information of the target drugs, the delivery device is controlled to convey the to-be-delivered drugs in the target channel to the recovery bin 500, whether the number of times of continuously conveying the to-be-delivered drugs in the target channel to the recovery bin 500 exceeds a preset value or not is judged, and under the condition that the number of times does not exceed the set value, the bucket 300 is controlled to move to the target channel again, and the information of the to-be-delivered drugs in the target channel is obtained through the second identification mechanism 340 again. Through the dispensing machine 010 of the embodiment, after each time the to-be-dispensed medicines of which the information is not matched with the information of the target medicines are conveyed to the recycling bin 500, whether the number of times of continuously recycling the medicines exceeds a preset value is determined, and if the number of times exceeds the preset value, it means that a plurality of medicines sequentially and adjacently placed in the target channel are not matched with the target medicines, it is possible that all the medicines in the channel 210 are not the target medicines, and there may be a medicine placement error in the whole target channel or a situation that an error is uploaded in a corresponding relationship between the medicines in the target channel and the target channel, and therefore, when the number of times of continuously recycling the medicines exceeds the preset value, the control device 600 does not control the bucket 300 to take the medicines from the target channel any more, and low medicine dispensing efficiency caused by the continuously wrong medicines due to the fact that all the medicines in the target channel are not matched with the target medicines is avoided. On the contrary, if the number of times of continuously transporting the to-be-delivered drugs in the target channel to the recycling bin 500 does not exceed the preset value, there is a possibility that several (or one) drugs at the front end of the target channel are placed incorrectly, and after several (or one) drugs are transported to the recycling bin 500, the subsequent drugs can still be normally delivered to the user, so that the control device 600 controls the bucket 300 to take the drugs from the target channel again when determining that the number of times of continuously recycling the drugs does not exceed the preset value, thereby avoiding that the drugs required by the user cannot be delivered to the user due to the placement error of individual drugs in the target channel.

Further, the control device 600 is further configured to output alarm information of abnormal drug dispensing in the case that the number of times of continuously transporting the drugs to be dispensed in the target cargo channel to the recycling bin 500 exceeds a preset value. Specifically, the alarm information may be displayed on the touch screen 126, or sent out in the form of a warning sound through a speaker of the dispensing machine 010, or sent to a server in communication connection with the dispensing machine 010 or a mobile terminal held by a maintenance person through a communication interface of the dispensing machine 010.
