Description

Gesture detection module applied to storage device

This creation provides a gesture detection module for storage devices, especially the horizontal shelf of the cabinet with multiple storage shelves, and a gesture detection module is installed on the front side of each shelf. The distance sensor of the detection unit can detect the fetching action of the user's hand reaching into or approaching any storage shelf from top to bottom or from bottom to top.

By the way, nowadays, when the general public is registered in the hospital for medical treatment, it is first to go to the clinic according to the department. The doctor will write a prescription note on the computer based on the patient's condition, and print the prescription note in the clinic and submit it to the clinic. Patients go to the business counter to approve and pay, and after receiving the computer prescription note and medicine bag at the outpatient pharmacy or emergency pharmacy, the pharmacist can pick it up from the dispensing desk according to the medicines and quantities recorded on the computer prescription note. After checking that the prescription note held by the patient and the computer prescription note are correct, the medicine bag containing several medicines will be handed over to the patient.

In general, the pharmacy in the hospital will have a dispensing station, and each drawer of the medicine cabinet of the dispensing station will store a plurality of medicine boxes, and each medicine box will store tablets, capsules, injections, sprays or Suppositories and other medicines can be used by pharmacy personnel to open the medicine box according to the medicine and quantity recorded on the computer prescription note. However, because there are a large number of medicines in the medicine cabinet, traditional pharmacy personnel use manual inspection of medicines during the dispensing process. The method of name and quantity is quite easy because the placement of the pill box is not easy to find the medicine you want to take out, even the name of the medicine or the appearance of a similar medicine. Taking medicine by mistake, and then handing the medicine bag containing the wrong medicine to the patient, so that the patient may accidentally ingest the medicine after taking it, which will endanger the health of the patient. Therefore, how to solve the problem of pharmaceutical personnel due to a large number of medicines It is easy to make mistakes in taking medicines and cause management negligence, which is the direction that those engaged in this industry urgently want to study and improve.

Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned deficiencies, the new-type creators collected relevant information, after multiple evaluations and considerations, and used years of experience in this industry to make continuous trials and modifications to design such gesture detection applications for storage devices. The new patent for the test module was born.

The main purpose of this creation is that the cabinet of the storage device is provided with at least one horizontal shelf on the base, and a plurality of storage shelves are placed on the surface of the shelf or between each two adjacent shelf , And each storage rack contains items (such as medicines), and the cabinet body is equipped with at least one gesture detection module frame on the front side of each shelf, and the frame is housed in the frame to form an electrical connection with the control circuit The detection unit is connected, and the detection unit is equipped with at least one distance sensor corresponding to the position of the storage shelf. When the user's hand reaches into or approaches the storage shelf to take medicines, if it is the detection unit The distance sensor detects the decrease in the light flux reflected by the light source from top to bottom or from bottom to top, and it can judge that there is a medicine taking action in the storage rack position corresponding to the medicine storage, and it can also further judge the medicine taking action. Whether the position is correct or whether there is a foreign body in the medicine taking position, it provides comprehensive and convenient medicine taking action detection, which can more effectively implement the management of medicines.

The secondary purpose of this creation is that the control circuit of the gesture detection module is provided with a display unit and a button switch on the front surface of the main control board, and a mounting board and a circuit board of the detection unit are passed on the back side of the main control board. After the main control board is combined on the back of the front cover, the front cover can be installed in the front opening of the frame for the control circuit and the detection unit to be housed in the frame, acting as a pharmaceutical agent When taking medicines, the display unit can be driven by the control circuit to display the storage rack position and/or medicine information corresponding to the medicines, so that the pharmacy staff can quickly find the medicines they need to take. When personnel complete the action of taking medicine, they can press the button switch to use it as a confirmation key, so as to realize the function of the electronic label to facilitate picking or inventory operations.
