ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to distributing and packing technique, particularly to the automatization application in the field of the Chinese herbal medicine. More particularly, it relates to method involving storing in packet, measuring, fetching and packing etc. for Chinese herbal medicine and the system with electronic control device for blending of Chinese herbal medicine using above methods.
Compared with the Western medicine, the Chinese herbal medicine has less the side effect and does not easily form drug resistance and can cure diseases from symptom and origin. In a wide range of the world, the vegetable drug representing by the Chinese herbal medicine has been highly regarded. But the disadvantage of Chinese herbal medicine is the fact that the preparation is much difficult. Though the prepared Chinese herbal medicine can solve the difficulty in some way, the fixed prescription is not so easy to exert the treatment effect in which the Chinese herbal medicine is quite different in curing different patient.
If each kind of Chinese herbal medicine can be distilled into effective ingredients, cranked out as the Chinese herbal medicine condensed granules and packed in certain quantity package, it will solve the problem in transportation, storage and human resources wasting and simplify the procedure of medicine taking or decocting. The patients can mix and take the medicine according to the doctor's prescription. In a traditional Chinese herbal medicine drugstore, every sort of Chinese herbal medicine has to be searched and weighed. It leads to be inaccurate and the patients need to queue up for the medicine. The mode of the Chinese herbal medicine management restricts the improvement of the overall control level of the hospital.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
One objective of the present invention is to provide an electrical method for Chinese herbal medicine allotment, to overcome the disadvantages of inaccuracy, time consuming in making up the Chinese herbal medicine, uneasiness in taking and carrying the medicine and to realize the automation in the entire process from dosage to packing and offering the medicine by the help of computer programming.
Another objective of the present invention is to provide an electrical allotting system for Chinese herbal medicine, which may replace the traditional Chinese herbal medicine drugstore. Furthermore, it can enhance the efficiency by saving time and labor while being suitable for medicine carrying and taking. Particularly speaking, the present invention is a way of medicine fetching, orienting, and transporting, packing, and offering alarm signal if medicine bags have been used out completely or misplaced on the basis of the Chinese herbal medicine bag with condensed granule inside.
The objective of the present invention can be realized by constructing an method with electronic control device for blending of Chinese herbal medicine including the following steps: processing the Chinese herbal medicine into condensed granule and encapsulating those as a bunch of bags in certain quantity; placing bunches of bags provided with certain Chinese herbal medicine in predetermined quantity into respective storage units; when preparing medicine, taking out a number of medicine bags from a storage unit selected by control system based on prescription; fetching the stipulated quantity of medicine bags from the storage unit and separating the medicine bags from the bunch of the bags by medicine fetching means; carrying them to the predetermined place by transport means and packing them accordingly by packing means.
In the said method according to the present invention, the said packing step includes the following steps: delivering the medicine into the final gathering means after prepackaging by the packing means; delivering the medicine to the labeling means after packing with the final gathering means; delivering them to the exit after labeling the instruction by the labeling means.
In the said method according to the present invention, the said step for fetching and separating includes the following steps: fetching the certain quantity of medicine bags by the respective fetching means in storage units selected simultaneously and transport them to the transmission means.
In the said method according to the present invention, the said step for fetching and separating includes the following steps: fetching the scheduled quantity of medicine bags from storage units by fetching means sequentially and transport them to the transmission means.
In the said method according to the present invention, the said method further includes the following step: checking whether enough quantity of medicine bags have been stored in the storage unit whenever fetching the certain quantity of medicine bags and producing alarm signal if inadequate.
In the said method according to the present invention, the said method further includes the following steps: checking whether the medicine bags being put into the storage unit are the same as the specified variety of the medicine bags and producing alarm signal if incompatible with the specified medicine.
Another objective of the present invention can be realized by constructing an system with electronic control device for blending of Chinese herbal medicine of the Chinese herbal medicine, which includes control system, one or more medicine-containers consisting of a number of storage units for storing different sorts of Chinese herbal medicines and fetching means used for fetching certain quantity of medicine bags from storage unit and putting them onto conveyer belt.
In the system with electronic control device for blending of Chinese herbal medicine according to the present invention, the said system includes a guiding means which is used for fetching the medicine and puts them onto the conveyer belt, an alarm means used for identifying and warning if certain medicine bags run down or misplaced, a checking system used for counting the quantity of the medicine fetched out, a packing means used for packing the medicine bags checked, a final gathering means used for packing medicine bags packed and a labeling means used for printing label on medicine bags packed.
In the system with electronic control device for blending of Chinese herbal medicine according to the present invention, the said fetching means comprises a means used for separating certain quantity of medicine bags from a series of medicine bags in each storage unit by the use of the speed difference of bags in the conveyer and the intensity difference between the joint of the medicine bags and the non joint.
In the system with electronic control device for blending of Chinese herbal medicine according to the present invention, the said fetching means comprises the paired input wheels and paired output wheels of the medicine bag, the conveying belt between the both pairs for conveying the medicine bags along movement direction of bags, the length between input and the output wheels is equal to length a of the medicine bags, the rotate speed of the said input wheels is slower than the rotate speed of the output wheels.
In the system with electronic control device for blending of Chinese herbal medicine according to the present invention, the said fetching means comprises four axes, four wheels that are fixed on the said four axes. The said four axes are connected between high and low supporting plates through the bearings. Whenever the said axes rotate in one direction, it will drive a wheel move in the same direction. At the same time, another wheel on same axis is driven. The wheel will drive another wheel by the strap. The wheel will drive the wheel on the same axis. The wheel will drive wheel forward in the direction of the arrow. The said axis has two wheel drums. On the wheel drum, the drug bags are clamped through the knurl. The bolt forces against the bearing through the spring. Consequently the wheel drum can force against the side of the drug bags, the said fetching means further includes strap which functions as guid
