  • Patent number: 9333653
    Abstract: A pill grasping method comprises rotating a grasping arm with a nozzle to a predetermined initial position driven by a driving mechanism, rotating a number of pill storage cases to position one of the pill storage cases with a set number of pills to a predetermined grasping pill position driven by an actuating mechanism, rotating the grasping arm to enter into the corresponding pill storage case, starting a pump to generate a vacuum in the nozzle for sucking a pill, and determining if an actual pressure value in a pipe connecting the nozzle to the pump is less than a predetermined pressure value. The grasping arm is rotated to the predetermined initial position when the actual pressure value is less than the predetermined pressure value.

  • Publication number: 20130334947
    Abstract: A printer assembly structure includes a base and a cover. The base includes a guiding member and a positioning member. The guiding member includes a slope. The positioning member defines a pivot hole and a cutout. The cutout interconnects the pivot hole with an outside of the positioning member. The cover includes a sliding member and a rotating member. The sliding member includes a rotating wheel which includes a shaft. The cover moves on the base between a closed position and an open position. In the closed position, the cover covers on the base with the rotating wheel located on the slope and the shaft protruded out of the pivot hole. In the open position, the rotating wheel slides to another end of the slope to engage with the shaft in the pivot hole via the cutout, and the shaft rotates in the pivot hole to rotate the cover.
