摘要:近年来,随着人口老龄化趋势加剧,老年人慢性病比例增长加快,而长期服药导致各种矛盾凸显。针对现有智能药箱功能单一、动作繁琐等缺点,设计了一款新型智能药箱。该药箱由扫码加药、弹出结构、配药结构、收集结构、制冷模块、单元化结构6个部分组成,通过人工操作可将药物准确、方便地放入药盒中并低温储藏,以 STM32为主控芯片,通过定时器中断控制自动化出药。该智能药箱可有效辅助老年人正确服药,具备良好的市场前景。

Abstract: With the increasing trend of population aging, the proportion of chronic diseases in the elderly has increased rapidly, and long-term medication has led to various contradictions. Aiming at the shortcomings of single function and complicated action of existing intelligent medicine box, a new type of intelligent medicine box was designed. The medicine box consists of six parts, such as scan code dosing, ejection structure, dispensing structure, collection structure, refrigeration module and unit structure. The medicine can be accurately and conveniently put into the medicine box and stored at low temperature through manual operation. STM32 was used as the main control chip, and the automatic drug delivery was controlled by timer interrupt. The intelligent medicine box can effectively assist the elderly to take medicine, and therefore has a good market prospect.
Key words: intelligent medicine box; structural design; dispensing structure; STM32

自2000年以來,我国开始迈入老龄化社会。据统计,高龄人口占我国总人口15%以上。随着年龄的增长,人体机能逐渐衰退,老年人易患各种慢性疾病,需要长期服用多种药物[1]。由于大部分老人在服药期间缺少儿女监护,随着视听力、记忆力的降低,常易发生错服、漏服、多服、忘服等各种问题。正确服药与否对老人慢性疾病的治疗意义重大,因此智能药箱作为一种能够辅助服药的机电一体化装置,具有良好的经济效益和广阔的市场前景[2-4]。
常见的智能药箱分为普通储存型、智能旋转型、自动弹出型和自动配药型等类型,且各具特色,有明确的应用场合,但仍存在一定的局限性。例如,市场上应用较为普遍的普通储存型药盒,具有功能单一、容量小、不具备防潮、防尘、仍需手动配药等缺点[2];智能旋转型存在功能冗余、辅助服药效率低等问题[5];自动弹出型在操作时步骤多且动作繁琐,不适合老年人群体[6];自动配药型结构复杂、体积大、适应性不强等[7]。……
