Next, referring to the fifth figure, the operation diagram of the control board in the present creation. As shown in the fifth figure, the control board 60 performs initialization after power-on, and then checks whether an instruction from the medicine cabinet controller 61 is received, or is transmitted from the remote control unit 70 via the first signal transmission switch 62. instruction. If the instruction is not received, it continues to check whether the instruction is received, and if the instruction is received, The preset operation is performed according to the content of the instruction. The above instructions may include at least a system reset, a system initialization, a broadcast command, and a firmware replacement command for performing a system reset operation, a peripheral detection operation, a reply ACK operation (communication switching control), and a firmware replacement operation, respectively. And after execution, return to the operation of checking whether the instruction is received.

The operation of the above control panel 60 will be further explained in detail below.

After the medicine cabinet controller 61 is started, the peripheral controller is initialized, and then the processing is started, and the communication data and the processing instruction are processed. The quick and simple instructions are directly processed in the protocol processing, including the search serial number, the drawer status, and the Layer specification. , query environment, query status, control light number, reset light number, reset inner box, set time, firmware version, input identification code, etc., and for processing that cannot be processed immediately, use the round robin method to process the instruction flow. , including system reset, system initialization, broadcast command back ACK processing, firmware update, and so on.

The “system reset” is mainly to clear the state and cut off the communication with the next medicine cabinet. Since all the communication is connected in series, when the communication with the next medicine cabinet is cut off, only the remote control unit is left. 70 maintains the communication state with the first medicine cabinet. Therefore, when the remote control unit 70 reads the serial number, only the first medicine cabinet receives the instruction and returns the medicine cabinet serial number, and then opens the communication with the next medicine cabinet. And each medicine cabinet controller 61 is defined to return only the medicine cabinet serial number after the system is reset, and the remote control unit 70 can read all the medicine cabinet serial numbers in turn by reading the serial number multiple times, until all the medicine cabinets are used. The serial number has been replied, and there is no reply from the medicine cabinet.

After the "system initialization" command is issued, the medicine cabinet controller 61 will cut off communication with the previous medicine cabinet/remote control unit 70 and the next medicine cabinet. At this time, only the medicine cabinet controller 61 between the single medicine cabinets is provided. The communication with the control panel 60, at this time, the control panel 60 detects the number of layers in which the drawer is located, and the medicine cabinet controller 61 sequentially transmits the medicine cabinet serial number to the control panel 60 of each layer and stores it, and the control panel 60 receives the serial number. After the ACK is returned, the medicine cabinet controller 61 determines whether the layer has a drawer according to whether the control board 60 returns an ACK, and uses the light number to indicate the detection progress. The medicine cabinet controller 61 completes the system initialization after detecting all the layers. And open communication with the previous medicine cabinet/remote control unit 70 and the next medicine cabinet.

"Broadcast instruction processing" needs to cut off the communication between the next medicine cabinet before replying to the ACK, and then restarting the communication with the next medicine cabinet after replying the ACK.

After the "firmware update" command is issued, the pre-updated control board 60 enters the programming mode, and uses the communication UART to communicate to receive the file to be updated for burning, and the other control board 60 does not process the communication data during this period. Until you receive a special protocol.

After the control board 60 is started, the peripheral board is initialized, and then enters the loopback to process the communication data and the processing instruction action. The quicker and simpler instructions can be directly processed during the protocol processing, including the Layer specification, the query status, the control light number, and the reset signal number. , reset inner box, set time, firmware version, input identification code, etc., can not be processed immediately using the patrol method to process the command, including unlock command, change kit instructions, hardware test command, firmware update Wait.

If the “unlock command” is to open the medicine box, you need to open the drawer first, and wait for the drawer to open until the medicine box to be opened has left the drawer frame (opening the medicine box in the drawer box may get stuck in the drawer or damage the medicine box) The lid of the cartridge can be opened.

The “replacement kit command” is the same as the unlock command, and it is necessary to wait for the drawer to open until the desired cartridge has left the drawer frame to release the cartridge.

The "hardware test command" is used as a hardware peripheral circuit test, including Layer detection, drawer position detection, cartridge control and detection, and temperature and humidity sensor.

After the "firmware update" command is issued, the pre-updated control board 60 or the medicine cabinet controller 61 is designated to enter the programming mode, and the communication UART is used for communication to receive the file to be updated. The programming is performed, and the other control board 60 or the medicine cabinet controller 61 does not process the communication data during this period until a special protocol is received.

The drawer is designed to scan the control box, so a timer interrupt is required to update the output status of the cartridge control at a fixed time and read the latest status of the cartridge. The update speed needs to be fixed and close to or greater than 50 times per second. It doesn't look like flickering.

In summary, the main feature of this creation is to realize the electronic control box with electronic control function by using the control methods of machine, electricity, toughness and software, which can prevent the pharmacist or nurse from taking the medicine due to any human negligence. The risk of the wrong drug, and thus ensure the correctness of taking the medicine, in particular, by the control panel to control and start the brake to act, and then pull the hook member to loosen the lid hook, and at the same time through the design of the hook torsion spring The lid of the electronic kit is automatically popped open, so it is quite convenient and reliable to use. Furthermore, the overall structure of the creation is simple, and the number and space of parts can be effectively reduced, which is very industrially useful and competitive in the market.

The above description is only for the purpose of explaining the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to impose any form of limitation on the creation, so that any modification or alteration of the creation made in the same creative spirit is provided. , should still be included in the scope of protection of this creative intent.
