Automated Liquid Medicine Transfer Apparatus Using a Syringe

An automated liquid medicine transfer apparatus using a syringe, comprising:

• a housing;
• a syringe automation unit disposed on one side of the housing, comprising:
• a barrel fixing unit that secures the barrel of an inserted syringe;
• a piston gripping unit that grips the piston of the syringe;
• and
• a syringe drive unit configured to move the barrel fixing unit and the piston gripping unit relative to each other;
• a liquid medicine container transfer automation unit, comprising:
• a first frame disposed at an upper portion of the housing;
• a first gripping unit disposed on one side of the first frame and configured to grip an extraction container containing a liquid medicine to be extracted;
• a second gripping unit disposed on the other side of the first frame and configured to grip an injection container into which the extracted liquid medicine is to be injected;
• and
• a frame transfer unit configured to move the first frame between a first position where the extraction container and the syringe meet, and a second position where the injection container and the syringe meet;
• and
• a control unit operably connected to the syringe drive unit and the frame transfer unit, the control unit being configured to:
• pull the piston to extract the liquid medicine when the first frame is in the first position;
• and
• push the piston to inject the liquid medicine when the first frame is in the second position.
