GATE RELEASE APPARATUS FOR AUTOMATIC PILL DISPENSER

摘要

A gate release apparatus of an automatic pill dispenser includes a base, a gate, a release assembly, a resisting member, a gear assembly, and a resilient member. The base includes a bottom plate and a ring plate. The ring plate defines an opening. The gate is configured to cover the opening. The gear assembly includes a swing gear. The door includes a rack. The resisting member resists the release assembly in the first position, and the release assembly resists the gear assembly to enable the swing gear to engage with the rack. To disengage from the gear from the gear assembly the release assembly is rotated by the resilient member thereby disengaging the swing from the rack when the resisting member is in a second position.

1. A gate release apparatus of an automatic pill dispenser, the apparatus comprising:
a base comprising a bottom plate and a ring plate connected to the bottom plate; the ring plate defines an opening; a gate with a rack, movably mounted to the ring plate and being configured for covering the opening; a release assembly pivotably mounted to the bottom plate; a resisting member movably mounted in the base; a gear assembly comprising a swing gear; and a resilient member secured between the base and the release assembly; wherein the resisting member is movable relative to the base between a first position and a second position; when the resisting member is in the first position, the resisting member blocks the release assembly, the release assembly abuts the gear assembly to mesh the swing gear with the rack, the resilient member is elastically deformed, and the gate is prevented from being moved; and when the resisting member is in the second position, the resisting member releases the resilient member, the resilient member moves the release assembly relative to the gear assembly to release the gear assembly, the swing gear is disengaged from the rack, and the gate is movable relative to the base.
