Description

Push rod type automatic medicine dispensing device for bottled medicine

Technical field

The present invention relates to an automated pharmacy, and in particular to an automatic dispensing device for a bottled medicament. The bottled medicament includes a bottled medicine such as an injection or an oral liquid.

Background technique

Bottled medicines are bottled medicines such as pointers and oral liquids. In traditional hospitals or pharmacies, the method of medicine for bottled medicines is usually: when the patient picks up the medicine in the pharmacy, the pharmacist directly goes to the corresponding medicine rack to manually grab a few bottles according to the prescription. This type of manual grasping method is low in efficiency, error-prone, labor intensive, and long waiting time for patients.

On the market today, most automated drug delivery devices are only suitable for boxed or bagged drugs. There are few automatic drug delivery devices for bottled drugs. The inventor of this case has conducted research on the automatic dispensing device for bottled drugs for many years. In 2012, he applied for related patents. For details, see the publication number CN103373572A, named "Bottled Injection Automatic Pharmacy". Patent literature. This patent document discloses an automated pharmacy for bottled injections, the automated pharmacy comprising a frame and a plurality of dispensing units, the dispensing unit being comprised of a drug storage body (referred to as a drug storage cartridge in the patent document) and dispensing a mechanical device (referred to as a sorting device in the patent document), wherein a plurality of bottled injections are placed in the drug storage body, the drug storage body is inclined, the lower end is provided with a medicine outlet, and the medicine discharging device is disposed at the medicine outlet. The dispensing mechanism specifically includes a sorting turntable, and the spacing between adjacent saw teeth on the sorting turntable corresponds to the size of the bottled injection. During work, the bottled injection is transported from the drug outlet of the drug storage body by the rotation of the sorting carousel. The solution disclosed in the above patent document can realize automatic medicine dispensing, but there are still some shortcomings: due to the large number of (multiple rows and columns) of bottled injections placed in the drug storage body, the process of driving the bottle loading agent by the adjacent saw teeth on the sorting turntable Resistance, the process of dispensing is not smooth, and the placement of the sawtooth on the sorting turntable often causes vacancies. It is necessary to provide a detection device, and the cost is also increased.
