Specifically, the drug recycle port301is provided with a circular check valve, a magnetic device (such as a electronic lock) may be provided on the drawer surface of the drug recycle layer30. The magnetic device is configured for cooperating with the circular check valve, and the magnetic device may be controlled by the server terminal (that is, the valve can be opened only after receiving an opening command). The three drug recycle holes are respectively connected to the corresponding drug solution recycle bags for recycling remaining drug solutions of different concentrations (with different dilutions at the time of use). The weight sensor303is arranged below the drug recycle bag302, and a weight signal is wirelessly transmitted to the processing module. Therefore, the weight signal can be converted into a digital signal based on a preset program, a signal for recycled weight is calculated according to the program, and thus an image signal is formed for display. The maximum available weight of the drug solution recycle bag is preset. So, after the maximum available weight is reached, alarm information can be output on the display screen60to remind the user not to input the drug solution, and the alarm information is reported to a drug administrator.

Further, the display device60is arranged at a portion of the housing103which is at the left side of the drug acquisition layer20and the drug recycle layer30.

The face recognition sensor is configured to collect a user's face image and to analyze facial features, so as to form a face recognition signal. The face recognition signal is uploaded to the server terminal through the wireless communication module. After the face recognition signal is matched with the employee information database, personal information of the successfully matched staff (that is, employee number, the daily amount of the surgical, the day's surgical medical order and the like) is transmitted to an information verification module through the wireless communication module.

Exemplarily, the card-swiping device40, such as a card-swiping area, is located above the display screen, and is mainly represented as a RFID wireless card reader. The RFID wireless card reader is configured to identify a particular target through a radio signal, to read and write related data, and then to upload the related data to the server terminal. After the related data is matched with an employee information database, the personal information of the successfully matched employee (name, employee number, the daily amount of the surgical, the day's surgical medical order and the like) is transmitted to the information verification module through the wireless communication module, and the personal information consistent with the face recognition information is converted into an image signal to be transmitted to the display screen.

Further, the box for drug management and recycle further includes electronic locks101. The electronic locks101are respectively arranged on the drawer panel210of the drug acquisition layer20and the drawer panel304of the drug recycle layer30, and portions of the housing103which are adjacent to the drawer panel of the drug acquisition layer20and the drawer panel of the drug recycle layer30, and the electronic locks101are connected to the processor70. The drug acquisition layer20and the drug recycle layer30are both fixed to the drug box body10by the electronic locks101.

Exemplarily, the electronic locks101each includes an electronic key1011arranged beside each layer of drawer (i.e., each of the drawer panels of the drug acquisition layer20and the drug recycle layer30) and connected to the processor70. In the standby state, the electronic key1011is in a close mode (the key is red), at this time, the electronic locks101are connected to the housing103of the box body with the drug acquisition layer20and the drug recycle layer30respectively. After the personal information of the user is successfully verified, the processor70is configured to control the electronic key1011in an open state (the key turns green), and the electronic key (i.e., the digital password)1011corresponding to the drawer (i.e., the drug acquisition layer20or the drug recycle layer30) is pressed to open the corresponding electronic lock101. Electronic keys1011of the two layers can only be opened by swiping a card by the drug administrator for organizing the opioid recycle management box, including taking out and checking the number of empty drug bottles2, placing new drug bottles therein, and recycling unwanted drug solution.

Further, the box for drug management and recycle further includes a report button102. The report button102is arranged on the drug box body10.

Exemplarily, when the user finds out that the box for opioid management and recycle detects errors (e.g., wrong drug information displayed on the display screen, wrong drug acquisition amount and the like), the report button102can be clicked to transmit an alarm signal to the server terminal and to contact the drug administrator. The alarm signal is converted into an image signal at the server terminal, and then is displayed on the display screen in a form of “system error”.

Further, the processor70includes a wireless communication module, an early warning module and a processing module, and the processor70is wirelessly connected to a server. The wireless communication module is configured to connect various modules of the box for drug management and recycle to the server. The early warning module is configured to determine and remind whether the drugs in the drug bottle is completely extracted or not; and whether the number of the returned empty drug bottles is consistent with the number of the acquired drug bottles or not.

Exemplarily, the wireless communication module is configured to construct a signal transmission channel so as to connect various modules of the box body to the server terminal.

Exemplarily, the early warning module is configured to determine and remind whether the drugs in the drug bottle has been completely extracted or not; and whether the number of the returned empty drug bottles is consistent with the number of the acquired drug bottles or not. When the number of the returned drug bottles is inconsistent with the number of the acquired drug bottles, or the drug in the drug bottle has not been completely extracted, a trigger condition is reached, then a signal is transmitted and stored at the terminal and then is converted into an image signal at the terminal. Thus, the image signal is displayed on the display screen in a form of “return number/acquisition number: 3:4”, “please extract the drug!”.

Further, the opioid management box further includes a battery90, which is a miniature battery, and can be connected to the power supply through a USB charging interface80for electricity storage. The power supply is used preferentially when the power supply is connected to the box via the USB charging interface.

The box for opioid management and recycle in the embodiments is further loaded with a drug control system and a drug extraction system. The acquisition amount of the drug is confirmed through the drug control system, and the drug extraction system is configured to deliver the drug of the corresponding acquisition amount to the user.

Exemplarily, the drug control system includes an input module, a terminal calculation module, and a confirming module. The input module is located at the display screen and configured to receive an input signal including the information of required drug solution dilution concentration and drug dosage input into the display screen by the user. And, the input signal is transmitted to the server terminal through the wireless communication module. The terminal calculation module is configured to calculate multiple drug dispensing options through a preset program, including the number of required drug bottles, the number of syringes containing normal saline in corresponding specifications and how to extract the drug. The drug dispensing options are wirelessly transmitted to the display screen, and the user can select a proper scheme according to the existing syringe. The confirming module is configured to receive a confirming signal input into the display screen by the user, and the confirming signal is wirelessly transmitted to the server terminal. The server terminal is configured to generate a start signal and a termination signal, so as to control the drug extraction system to extract from the drug bottle.

Exemplarily, the drug extraction system includes a drug outlet201, a conveyor belt203, a weight sensor2062, a cutter204, a start module, a termination module, and an indication module. The drug outlet201is formed in the leftmost end of the first layer of drawer (i.e., the drug acquisition layer20), specifically presenting as a circular check valve having a diameter of 1 cm. An interface of the syringe may enter the box through this outlet. The conveyor belt203is transversely placed and operates anticlockwise. Ten drug bottle cells each matched with the specification of the single drug bottle are arranged on the conveyor belt203, and each cell contains a drug bottle placed by the drug administrator. And, the start module is configured to receive a start signal transmitted by the server terminal and to start the conveyor belt203to move forward by one unit (at the moment, the opening of the drug bottle directly faces the drug outlet201). The cutter204is placed at the inner side of the drug outlet201and configured to cut the drug bottle to form a drug bottle opening to facilitate extracting. An infrared sensor, a processing module, a cutting blade, an electric turbine and the like are arranged in the box for drug management and recycle. When the drug bottle directly faces the drug outlet201, a drug bottle signal is received by the infrared sensor and then is transmitted to the processing module. The processing module, by combining the drug bottle signal and the starting signal, controls the electric turbine to drive the cutting blade to cut the drug bottle. After the cutting blade touches a travel switch, a travel switch instruction is received by the processing module so as to control the electric turbine to rotate reversely, thus enabling the cutter204to return to the original position. The weight sensor2062is configured to receive a weight signal of a drug bottle in the corresponding cell, and the signal is transmitted to the terminal through the wireless communication module. When the drug solution in the drug bottle is extracted completely, the sensor is configured to receive and transmit a weight change to the terminal. The start module is controlled by the terminal to start the conveyor belt203to further move forward by one unit, thus performing the circulation. A termination module is configured to receive a termination signal transmitted by the terminal. When the operation number of the conveyor belt203reaches the required number of drug bottles, the termination module is started to terminate the circulation. A indication module specifically presents that the indicator light202is arranged above the drug outlet201. After the cap of the drug bottle is cut by the cutter204completely (the box body stops moving), the indicator light202is controlled by the terminal to turn green. When the box body moves (the conveyor belt203moves forwards and the cutter204is started), the indicator light202is controlled by the terminal to be in a standby state, and the indicator light202is red.

The use method of the opioid management and recycle box includes the following steps: a drug acquisition step, a drug return step, and a step of collating the drug box by the drug administrator. The steps above are described in detail below.

Specifically, the drug acquisition step includes the following steps.

In Step one, the information of the employee is identified by performing card-swiping operation and face recognition through the card-swiping device40and the camera device50so as to enter the system. Personal information is shown on a display screen60, and the personal information is verified. And, the following Steps two to five are allowed only after the personal information is successfully verified.

In Step two, the day's surgical information and electronic prescriptions are verified by the user, the drug acquisition amount (including dilution concentration and required dosage) is input on the display screen according to the medical order.

In Step three, one of several drug dispensing options prompted on display screen is selected according to the condition of the syringe owned by the user, and a label “confirm” is clicked by the user.

In Step four, after an indicator light above a drug outlet201turns green, the syringe with the corresponding specification is placed at the drug outlet201to align with an opening of a drug bottle so as to extract the drug. After the drug is completely extracted, a conveyor belt203in the drug box waits to operate (when the drug box operates, the indicator light202is red). After the indicator light turns green, another drug is further extracted. The drug is extracted in this way until the operation of the drug box is finished (the drug in all drug bottles needs to be completely extracted). Then the number of drug bottles displayed on the display screen is checked to determine whether it is consistent with the actual number of the used drug bottles or not. And, the number of empty drug bottles2displayed on the display is checked to determine whether it is consistent with the actual number of the used drug bottles or not. The data is automatically uploaded to the drug administrator after verification of correctness.

In Step five, if the number of the drug bottles is not consistent, a report button102may be clicked, and a drug administrator is notified by an early warning module to clarify the reason.

Specifically, the drug return step includes the following steps.

In Step one, the information of the employee is identified by performing card-swiping operation and face recognition to enter the system. Personal information is shown on a display screen, and the personal information is verified.

In Step two, the day's surgical information and electronic prescriptions are checked, and the recycled dosage of the drug is clarified according to the surgery records.

In Step three, a drug inlet of a drug recycle layer30is opened, and the remaining drug solution is injected into the drug solution recycle bag according to the specification.

In Step four, the dosage of the remaining drug solution (the drug return amount is confirmed according to a weight difference value before and after drug return detected by the weight sensor303) is verified, and the data is automatically uploaded to the drug administrator after verifying that there is no difference.

In Step five, if the user confirms that the displayed drug solution return dosage is inconsistent with the actual drug solution return amount through the display screen, clicks the report button102, and the drug administrator is notified by the early warning module to clarify the reason.

Specifically, the step of collating the drug box by the drug administrator includes the following steps.

In Step one, the information of the employee is identified by performing card-swiping and face recognition and then the employee may enter the system. Personal information is shown on a display screen, and the personal information is verified.

In Step two, the electronic key for the first layer is clicked to open the first layer. The number of drug bottles displayed on the display is checked to determine whether it is consistent with the actual number of drug bottles in the drug box or not. And, the number of the empty drug bottles2displayed is checked to determine whether it is consistent with the number of the actual empty drug bottles2in the drug box or not. After the verification of correctness, the empty drug bottles2in the cells are taken out, and new drug bottles are placed in the cells. The information on the display is verified again after closing the first layer.

In Step three, the electronic key for the second layer is clicked to open the second layer. The recycled drug amount displayed on the display is checked to determine whether it is consistent with the drug recycle amount in the drug solution bag or not. After the verification of correctness, the drug solution bag is taken out, and a new and empty drug solution bag is placed, and the information on the display is verified again after closing the second layer.

The box for drug management and recycle has the following beneficial effects. The box body is a cabinet body of a two-layer drawer type structure. One layer is the drug acquisition layer20, the other layer is the drug recycle layer30, and the two layers are both locked by respective electronic locks101.
