At the time of installation, the abutting piece 232 of the resisting portion 23 is first abutted against the second gear 22. The second gear 22 and the abutting portion 23 are then fitted together into the first pivot hole 311 on the pivot shaft 31. Then, the linkage shaft 21 is inserted into the first pivot hole 311 such that the insertion portion 214 of the linkage shaft 21 is inserted into the insertion hole 222 of the receiving portion 221. At this time, the body 231 of the resisting portion 23 abuts against the stepped portion 213 on the linkage shaft 21, thereby completing the assembly of the linkage unit 20 and the release unit 30.

The assembled linkage unit 20 and the release unit 30 are moved toward the dialing dial 50, and the pivoting piece 332 on the engaging portion 33 is loaded into the fourth pivot hole 521 of the fourth gear 52. At this time, the plurality of second teeth 223 on the second gear 22 mesh with the plurality of sixth teeth 522 on the fourth gear 52. The second pivot hole 412 on the transmission member 41 and the third pivot hole 422 on the dial member 42 are aligned. A pivoting member (not shown) passes through the second pivot hole 412 and the third pivot hole 422 to pivotally fix the transmission member 41 and the dial member 42 together. At this time, the limiting portion 423 on the toggle lever 421 is located above one of the blocking portions 415. Finally, the drive unit 10, the assembled transmission member 41 and the dial member 42, and the medicine cartridge 60 are mounted to the dialing dial 50.

Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 6 , in use, when the medicine taking machine is normally powered, the release arm 32 of the release unit 30 is subjected to an external force and moves toward the mounting frame 11 of the drive unit 10 . At this time, the other end of the spring 90 presses against the inside of the drug take-up machine, and the spring 90 is elastically deformed. The plurality of first teeth 121 on the first gear 12 mesh with the plurality of third teeth 212 on the third gear 211. The first gear 12 rotates and drives the third gear 211 to rotate. The third gear 211 drives the second gear 22 to rotate, and the second gear 22 drives the fourth gear 52 to rotate. At this time, the fourth gear 52 drives the medicine box 60 mounted on the dial 50 to rotate to the position of the medicine taking port 512 on the tray 51, and the user immediately takes the medicine box from the position of the medicine taking port 512. Pills stored in 60.

In the case where the drug take-up machine is powered off, the release arm 32 of the release unit 30 is no longer subjected to an external force. At this time, the other end of the spring 90 no longer presses against the inside of the medicine take-up machine, and the spring 90 elastically recovers. The plurality of first teeth 121 on the first gear 12 and the plurality of third teeth 212 on the third gear 211 are separated and no longer bite each other. The release arm 32 rotates around the pivot shaft 31 toward the toggle unit 40 under the elastic restoring force of the spring 90. The plurality of fourth teeth 331 on the side of the engaging portion 33 and the side of the transmission member 41 The plurality of fifth teeth 411 are engaged. The release arm 32 drives the mating portion 33 to rotate in a first direction, and the mating portion 33 drives the transmission member 41 to rotate in a second direction opposite to the first direction. The limiting portion 423 on the toggle lever 421 moves from above the blocking portion 415 to between the two blocking portions 415 and falls, and the toggle lever 421 falls into a recess 511 of the disk body 51. At this time, the dial member 42 is rotated about the pivoting member in the first direction, and the dialing member 42 drives the toggle lever 421 to rotate in the first direction. The limiting portion 423 of the toggle lever 421 moves obliquely upward along one of the supporting portions 413, and the toggle lever 421 slides upward in the toggle member 42. When the limiting portion 423 moves to the contact point of the supporting portion 413 and the corresponding blocking portion 415, the blocking portion 415 rotates around the corresponding pivot portion 414 in the first direction. The limiting portion 423 passes over the corresponding blocking portion 415 and is again located above the blocking portion 415. During the oblique upward movement of the limiting portion 423, the toggle lever 421 presses against one side of the recess 511 to drive the disc body 51 to rotate in the second direction. At this time, the medicine box 60 can be rotated to the position of the medicine taking port 512, and the user can obtain the medicine pills stored in the medicine box 60 from the position of the medicine taking port 512.

Wherein, the toggle lever 421 rotates the recess 511 once, and the distance between the cartridge 60 and the disc 51 is the distance between the adjacent two recesses 511. The disc body 51 is not limited to being mounted with only one medicine cartridge 60, and a plurality of medicine cartridges 60 can be mounted on the disc body 51. If the user needs to rotate the disk 51 a plurality of times to obtain the desired cartridge 60, it is only necessary to manually rotate the dial member 42 about the pivoting member in the second direction. The limiting portion 423 moves again from above the blocking portion 415 to between the two blocking portions 415 and falls, and the toggle lever 421 again falls into the other recess 511 on the disk body 51. At this time, the operation of the disk body 51 is completed by rotating the dial member 42 about the pivoting member in the first direction, and the disk body 51 is rotated again in the second direction until the user desires. The cartridge 60 is rotated to the position of the dispensing port 512. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the first direction is a counterclockwise direction and the second direction is a clockwise direction. In other embodiments, the rotation directions of the engaging portion 33, the transmission member 41, the dial member 42, and the disk body 51 are not limited to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and corresponding changes may be made, as long as the actual Need to make the appropriate changes.

The medicine taking machine of the present invention rotates in a first direction by the releasing unit, and the engaging portion drives the transmission member to rotate in a second direction opposite to the first direction, and the toggle lever falls into the groove The dial member rotates in a first direction, the dial member drives the toggle lever to rotate in a first direction, the toggle lever slides upward in the dial member, and the toggle lever abuts the recess One side drives the dial to rotate in a second direction, thereby rotating the dial to a desired position.

In summary, the present invention has indeed met the requirements of the invention patent, and has filed a patent application according to law. However, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it is not possible to limit the scope of the patent application of the present invention.
