The automatic medicine taking cabinet comprises a cabinet body, the cabinet body comprises a medicine placing rack, a front panel located in front of the medicine placing rack, a cabinet door located on the rear side of the medicine placing rack, a medicine taking mechanism and a control system. The invention further discloses the medicine taking method. According to the automatic medicine taking cabinet, a medicine taking trolley hopper of the medicine taking mechanism can reach the lower portions of medicine containing bins along medicine taking rail units, walk to the left side of the medicine taking rail units after taking medicines and pour the medicines into an adjacent medicine hopper, and then a medicine collecting trolley reaches the designated medicine outlet position through a lifting unit and a horizontal moving rail unit. By adopting the cooperation of conveyor belts and correlationsensors, the problems of a medicine feeding mode and counting are well solved, and when the medicines are placed, only the cabinet door needs to be opened, the medicines are pushed in from the back,the previous medicines are in the front, the current medicines are in the back, the operation is simple and convenient, and the situation that the previous medicines are out of date due to unreasonable medicine placement can be prevented.

Problems solved by technology

[0003] With the development of technology, automatic medicine-taking cabinets that can automatically dispense medicines have emerged as the times require, which provides convenience for doctors and nurses to take medicines and for people to take medicines by themselves. The medicines in the medicine storage cavity are pushed out, and some are grasped by the mechanical arm. There are some problems in the above method. The cost of the mechanical arm is high, which is not conducive to popularization, and it can only grasp the medicines in the shallow medicine storage cavity. , so that the drug storage cavity is limited. In addition, due to the limited grasping method and strength, it can only deal with specific shapes of drugs, and cannot adapt to scenarios such as boxed, bottle-shaped, and bag-shaped drugs, and the scope of use is limited. ;For the method of push rod, when placing the medicine, it can only be placed from the front of the cabinet. If the medicine is directly pushed into the medicine storage cavity, the original medicine in the cavity will be pushed to the innermost. For the medicine that is not commonly used, it is easy to cause Later, if the drug is due or expired, if you want to avoid this situation, you need to take out the drug in the cavity, put the new drug in, and then put the drug in the front, which is very troublesome. In addition, in the prior art This kind of medicine taking method, for example, the publication number is CN 108986338 A, and the name is an outdoor separate medicine selling machine and its working method. After the medicine is pushed out from the push rod, it falls from top to bottom until it falls. On the bottom conveyor belt, bottled medicines, especially glass bottled medicine injections, may roll out of the conveyor belt if they fall on the conveyor belt, and falling from a high place layer by layer increases the probability of breaking

[0004] In addition, due to the global epidemic of respiratory diseases this year, it is also an important part of preventing the spread of epidemics to do a good job of taking medicines and reducing contact infections. At present, when taking medicines from the automatic medicine cabinet, it is necessary to remove a pile of medicines from the automatic medicine cabinet first. Put it into the medicine-taking basket, and the patient picks it up one by one from the medicine-taking basket, and then takes it away. This process is relatively long, and the patient's hand will keep touching the medicine-taking basket, which increases the probability of the medicine-taking basket being contaminated, and Each medicine will be in contact with the medicine taking basket, and the disinfection treatment is more troublesome, which increases the probability of the virus being contaminated by the medicine and causing the spread of the epidemic
