In response to the drug information input by the interaction assembly, the control module drives the annular body to rotate by a specified angle by adjusting the drive mechanism so that the drug, after being sorted by the sorting mechanism, enters a specified drug storage bin aligned with the outlet of the sorting mechanism from the outlet of the sorting mechanism based on gravity.

For example, class a capsules are stored, and the control module selects the empty bin numbered M1 to move to the bottom, receiving and storing class a capsules as they are delivered by the sorting mechanism. The B-type tablets are stored, and the control module selects an empty medicine storage cabin with the number M2 to move to the bottom, and receives and stores the B-type tablets when the sorting mechanism conveys the B-type tablets.

In response to the medicine taking information input by the interaction assembly and/or the at least one terminal, the control module drives the annular main body to rotate based on the specified angle by adjusting the driving mechanism based on the medicine taking information, so that the medicine storage cabin stored with the specified medicine conveys the medicine to the medicine outlet cabin through the sorting mechanism.

Preferably, in response to the medicine taking information input by the interaction assembly, the control module controls the sorting mechanism to output the specified quantity according to the medicine taking rule, and simultaneously the control module adjusts the annular main body to rotate according to the preset time and/or angle, so that at least one medicine outlet chamber in the annular main body receives the specified quantity of the medicines according to the medicine taking rule. The invention can give out the medicine according to the medicine taking information without the need of the patient to count the medicine, and can ensure that the patient can take the medicine accurately.

For example, the medication information is class a capsules three times a day, two at a time. Type B tablets were taken twice a day, three at a time. When the control module takes out the medicine in the morning and evening, the medicine comprises two A-type capsules and three B-type tablets. When the control module takes out the medicine at the medicine taking time in noon, the medicine only comprises two A-type capsules.

When the preset medicine taking time of morning and evening is reached, the control module 5 controls the first steering engine to move the medicine storage cabin M1 for storing the type A capsules to the top, and the type A capsules are metered into two capsules in the sorting mechanism. The control module controls the medicine discharging cabin to be in an open state and outputs the two A-type capsules to the medicine discharging cabin. The control module 5 controls the first steering engine to move the medicine storage cabin M1 for storing the A-type capsules to the bottom, and the A-type capsules remaining in the sorting mechanism are input into the medicine storage cabin M1 again. Similarly, the control module 5 controls the first steering engine to move the medicine storage cabin M2 storing the B-type tablets to the top, and the B-type tablets are metered into two tablets in the sorting mechanism. The control module controls the medicine discharging cabin to be in an open state and outputs the two B-type tablets to the medicine discharging cabin. The control module 5 controls the first steering engine to move the medicine storage cabin M2 for storing the B-type tablets to the bottom, and the B-type tablets remained in the sorting mechanism are input into the medicine storage cabin M2 again. The steps are repeated to take different kinds of medicines.

So set up, the patient only need input the instruction of taking medicine, and control module just can control the automatic selection medicine of storage medicine device and go out the medicine, does not need the patient to come several medicines, has reduced the not good patient's of memory mistake of taking medicine.

Preferably, the infrared sensor is arranged in the medicine outlet cabin or the medicine taking port and used for detecting whether the medicine in the medicine outlet cabin exists or not. The control module 5 associates the status information of the medication with time. After the medicine discharging procedure is completed, the control module controls the infrared sensor to detect the medicine state of the medicine discharging cabin based on the preset medicine taking time. The detection may be real-time detection, random or periodic detection.

When the medicine is taken away by the patient, the control module determines the state information of the medicine based on the infrared detection information and sends the state information of the medicine to the interaction component and/or the at least one terminal in response to the change of the infrared detection information sent by the infrared detection module, so that the patient can receive the information that the medicine is taken away by the patient through the interaction component and the terminal by personnel of the terminal to determine whether the patient takes the medicine on time and the medicine taking time,

preferably, the control module 5 determines the current dosing time based on the time of the medication withdrawal and adjusts the next dosing time based on the current dosing time so that the interval between the two dosing times is safe and effective. Preferably, the time interval between two times of taking medicine can be preset, can also be adjusted by the patient through an interactive component or a terminal, and can also be a scientific medicine taking time interval acquired by a medicine database of a third party by a control module. The invention determines whether the patient takes the medicine or not through the state information of the existence or nonexistence of the medicine, thereby reducing the probability that the patient forgets to take the medicine. The medicine taking time is scientifically adjusted to enable the patient to scientifically take the medicine, so that the medicine taking effect is better.

The control module 5 instructs the first motor to rotate until the designated drug storage bin 19 is rotated to the entry position of the diverter mechanism 16. When the control unit sends a rotation instruction to the first steering engine 181, the first steering engine 181 controls the first swing rod 113 to rotate, the second swing rod 112 hinged to the first swing rod 113 rotates adaptively around the axis of the swing shaft of the cabin door 111, and the swing shaft also rotates along with the second swing rod 112, so that the cabin door 111 is opened, and the medicine is allowed to enter the diversion mechanism 16 for metering and guiding out.

The sorting mechanism of the present invention comprises at least a flow dividing mechanism 16, a capsule handling mechanism 14 and a tablet handling mechanism 13.

The control module 5 determines that the drug is a capsule or tablet based on drug information entered by the patient or the relevant person. The control module 5 sends a control instruction to the second steering engine 161 of the diversion mechanism 16 regarding the type of the drug. The diversion mechanism 16 is used to sort the drugs placed from the drug-placement chamber into different processing mechanisms. The shunt mechanism 16 includes a shunt bracket 137, a second steering engine 161, a shunt inlet port 162, a rotatable shunt chamber 163, and three output ports in different directions. A shunt mount 167 is disposed within the central cavity of the annular body and is rotatably connected to the shunt lumen. The diversion chamber rotates in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the annular body, so that the diversion chamber 163 rotates in the central space of the annular body, and the space outside the annular body is not additionally occupied, and the volume of the medicine storage device is not enlarged.

The shunt bracket 167 is provided with three output terminals. The output terminals include a first output terminal 164, a second output terminal 65, and a third output terminal 166 having output directions different from each other. Preferably, the first output terminal 164 and the third output terminal 66 are symmetrically disposed at both sides of the second output terminal 165. For example, the first output end 164 and the third output end 166 are all 55 degrees in output direction angle with the second output end 65.

The diversion chamber rotates in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the annular body, so that the diversion chamber 163 rotates in the central space of the annular body, and the space outside the annular body is not additionally occupied, and the volume of the medicine storage device is not enlarged.

A second steering engine 161 is disposed in the diversion cavity 163. The diversion chamber 163 is controlled by the second actuator 161 to change the direction of rotation. When the shunting cavity 163 needs to output the medicine to the first output end 164 or the third output end 166, the second steering engine 161 controls the shunting cavity 163 to rotate by a corresponding angle in the clockwise direction or the counterclockwise direction, so that the output port of the shunting cavity 163 is connected with the first output end 164 or the third output end 166, and the medicine is shunted to the corresponding processing mechanism.

The second steering engine 161 is connected with the control module 5 in a wired or wireless manner to receive a control instruction of the control module 5 and feed back current control information and a control state to the control module 5.

Preferably, the first output 164 is connected to the inlet direction of the capsule handling means 14 and the third output 166 is connected to the inlet of the tablet handling means 13. The second output end 165 is directed vertically downward. When the outlet chamber is rotated to the bottom and the third output 166 is aligned with the outlet chamber, the drug in the diversion chamber 163 moves toward the outlet chamber and is present in the outlet chamber based on the force of gravity.

Preferably, the capsule handling mechanism 14 is adapted to meter and store the capsules fed by the diverting mechanism 16 into one of the drug storage compartments 19.

As shown in fig. 8, the capsule handling mechanism 14 includes at least a third steering engine 141 and a sorting mechanism 144 for controlling the rotation of the sorting mechanism. The third steering engine 141 is disposed outside the sorting housing 143 through the second limiting mechanism 142. The rotating shaft of the third steering engine 141 is connected with the shaft of the sorting mechanism 144 through a hole in the second limiting mechanism 142, so that the sorting mechanism 144 can be driven and rotated by the third steering engine 141. The sorting mechanism 144 is provided in the sorting housing 143. The sorting housing 143 is provided with a sorting inlet 145, a chamber housing the sorting mechanism 144, and a sorting outlet (not shown in the figures). The sorting inlet 145 of the capsule handling mechanism 14 is flared to facilitate the concentration of the capsules and reduce the contact area between the capsules and the sorting mechanism. The small-sized inlet of the sorting inlet 145 for feeding the capsules into the recess 146 has an aperture slightly larger than the size of the capsules and allows only one capsule to enter the recess 146. The chamber housing the sorting mechanism 144 is a cylindrical chamber having a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the sorting mechanism to avoid the capsule from getting stuck between the sorting mechanism and the wall of the chamber.

The sorting mechanism 144 is preferably a cylindrical sorting mechanism capable of sorting the capsule type of medicine.

The soft capsule belongs to a packaging mode of capsules, and is commonly used in medicines or health-care foods. It is a capsule prepared by processing liquid medicine or liquid solid medicine and sealing the liquid medicine or the liquid solid medicine in a soft capsule material. The soft capsule wall material is prepared from gelatin, glycerol or other suitable medicinal adjuvants by mixing or mixing.

In the cylindrical sorting mechanism of the present invention, the cylinder is divided into six capsule recesses 146, each of which can hold one capsule. Preferably, the grooves 146 are distributed over the surface of the cylinder. The grooves 146 are arranged in a bar shape along the axial direction of the cylinder. Preferably, the bottom and walls of the groove 146 form a rectangular groove. Alternatively, the bottom and wall portions of the groove 146 may have an arcuate configuration. Preferably, the diameter of the cross-sectional circle of the cylindrical recess is slightly larger than the diameter of the cross-sectional circle of the sorting mechanism.

Cylindrical letter sorting mechanism 144 is rotatory by steering wheel control, and when the capsule got into cylindrical letter sorting mechanism, the cylinder was every rotatory: one capsule can be rotated out when N is 360 DEG/6 is 60 deg.

And a first photoelectric sensor is arranged at an opening right below the cavity where the sorting mechanism is located. Wherein, first photoelectric sensor sets up at the opening part under letter sorting mechanism to the opening setting is in the one end of cylinder. The first photoelectric sensor measures the capsules which are sequentially sorted out, and the purpose of processing and measuring the capsules is achieved.

The sorting mechanism 144 is disposed in a horizontal, transverse arrangement of cylinders within a chamber that houses the sorting mechanism 144. The small-sized inlet of the sorting inlet 145 communicates with the chamber, and the chamber is disposed vertically below the sorting inlet 145. Preferably, the surface of the cylinder of the sorting mechanism is arranged at a distance from the quality inspection of the small-size inlet that is relatively rotatable and that does not allow the capsule to escape, so that the capsule rests at the small-size inlet, is blocked by the walls of the recess and can only rotate following the sorting mechanism and cannot leave and fall out.

And when one of the grooves 146 is rotated to an angle through the small-sized inlet, the capsule enters the groove 146. When a capsule enters the chamber through the small-sized inlet of the sorting inlet 145, one capsule enters one of the grooves 146 and another capsule subsequently stays in the small-sized inlet to wait for entering the other groove as the sorting mechanism 144 rotates. Repeating this, each 60 degree rotation of the sorting mechanism, one capsule is received in the recess 146.

Similarly, the opening of the cavity of the sorting housing 143 is disposed at a position vertically below the cavity. The size of the opening also allows only one capsule to be delivered. The first photosensor is disposed near the opening of the cavity.

The sorting mechanism 144 starts to rotate, allowing a capsule to fall out of a single well directly below when one of the wells 146 of the sorting mechanism containing a capsule rotates to exactly coincide with the outlet directly below the well 146. As shown in FIG. 9, each of the groove portions occupies an angle of 60 degrees, so that one capsule falls out every 60 degrees of rotation of the sorting mechanism 144 when the capsule sorting mechanism starts to operate. The number of the taken capsules can be controlled by controlling the angle of selection. Preferably, the number of the grooves is not limited to one, more or less grooves can be arranged according to the requirement, and the angle between every two grooves can be adjusted adaptively.

A third motor is provided in the third steering gear 141. Example parameters for the third motor are shown in table 4.

Preferably, the sieve drum 134 in the tablet handling mechanism 13 has the end with the larger radius at a lower height so that the tablet medicament can actively move towards the inlet end of the metering channel based on gravity. For example, as tablet medicament enters from the screen drum 134, it may accumulate at the large radius end of the cone frustum, i.e., the turntable, due to gravity. The fourth steering engine 131 drives the turntable to rotate. The turntable agitates the tablets. After a certain time of agitation, some tablet medicine will be in a dominant position in the dispensing opening and will be inserted into the opening and will follow the opening of the turntable to rotate to the inlet of the metering channel and drop into the channel due to gravity.
