Automatic sorting machine

Abstract

The invention relates to logistics equipment, in particular to an automatic sorting machine used for sorting parts of cased objects including a cased medicine. The automatic sorting machine comprises a roller type rack, a sorting mechanism, a horizontal moving mechanism, a helical gravity collector groove, a belt type conveyer and an electric control system corresponding to the belt type conveyor, wherein a sorting electromagnet and a shutter electromagnet of the sorting mechanism as well as a drive motor and a rotating coder of the horizontal moving mechanism are respectively connected with the electric control system of the belt type conveyor through control lines, and the electric control system is connected with an upper control computer though a data bus. The invention has the advantages of compact structure, large medicine or object storage quantity, wide application range, high sorting efficiency, flexible sorting action without damaging medicines or objects and good sorting quality; and the medicine or objects sorted from all layers are automatically collected to the belt type conveyor through the helical gravity collector groove, and can be conveyed to a medicine or object package working station according to the demands or directly to a medicine distributing window or object selling window, thus the automatic sorting machine is convenient for operation and high in automation, and saves time and labor.

Description

1. Technical field [0001] The invention relates to logistics equipment, in particular to an automatic sorting machine for sorting boxed items including boxed medicines. 2. Background technology [0002] The sorting of drugs in hospital pharmacies and pharmaceutical retail stores is mainly based on dismantling and sorting. At present, domestic technical means in this field are still relatively backward, mainly manual sorting, which not only has low operating efficiency and high labor intensity, but also makes patients wait. It takes a long time and is prone to mistakes, causing conflicts between doctors and patients. With the acceleration of hospital information construction, the demand for such automatic sorting technology and equipment for dismantling and dismantling of drugs is becoming more and more urgent. [0003] At present, the existing domestic and foreign equipment suitable for automatic sorting of boxed medicines mainly include A-shaped machines and manipulators. ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

While this kind of equipment satisfies the drug sorting function, it also has many defects. The main problems are that the equipment is large in size; the stacking height of the medicines is high, and the pressure on the medicines at the bottom is high, which requires a large pushing force and is easy to damage the medicine packaging; The principle of automatic sorting of medicines is to pick up medicines from the shelves by vacuum adsorption or mechanical clamping action, which is more flexible and adaptable to the shape of medicines

The disadvantage is that only one box of medicines can be picked at a time. If multiple boxes of medicines are to be picked, the time interval between each action is long, and the work efficiency is low. It is not suitable for domestic hospital pharmacies with a large number of prescriptions.
