Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of drug administration device technology, and more specifically, to a drug administration device. Background Technology
[0002] When kidney function is lost by more than 90%, and the kidneys are unable to effectively filter toxins from the blood and regulate water and electrolyte balance, a kidney transplant is necessary. After a kidney transplant, patients need to take multiple immunosuppressive drugs for life, strictly on time and in the correct dosage. The therapeutic window for blood drug concentration is narrow after a kidney transplant, and any missed dose, wrong dose, or dosage deviation may cause fatal rejection or severe drug toxicity. These drugs are all stored in a medication container.
[0003] Most existing medication administration devices are boxes with alarm functions that sound an alarm at specific times to remind kidney transplant patients to take their medication. However, these boxes are all flip-top structures and do not have a locking function, so they cannot strictly control the medication time of kidney transplant patients. Moreover, kidney transplant patients need to replenish the medication themselves after taking it. Furthermore, the sudden alarm sounding in the morning or evening can easily startle kidney transplant patients. To solve these problems, this application proposes a novel medication administration device. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a medication applicator to solve the problems mentioned in the background art: the inability to lock the applicator leads to patients taking medication at the wrong time after kidney transplantation, the inability to automatically replenish medication, requiring patients to replenish medication themselves each time after kidney transplantation, and the sudden sounding of the alarm can easily frighten patients after kidney transplantation.

[0030] Example 1, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 13 , Figure 14 A medication administration device includes a housing 1, a toothed ring 15, a first motor 34, four long plates 40, an upper plate 42, a lower plate 45, an electric telescopic rod 46, a second motor 54, a chassis 24, and a power gear 55. Four fan plates 2 are equidistantly hinged to the upper end of the inner wall of the housing 1. Each of the four fan plates 2 has a limiting groove 7 at one end. A square groove 8 is formed in the middle of the bottom surface of each of the four limiting grooves 7. Four limiting blocks 13 are irregularly arranged on the inner wall of the toothed ring 15. A first top post 16 is fixedly arranged on an adjacent side of the upper end face of each of the four long plates 40. The limiting blocks 13 arranged in the inner ring of the toothed ring 15 are slidably disposed inside the limiting grooves 7. When the limiting block 13 slides to the position of the square groove 8, a push spring 39 pushes the long plate 40 to cause the first top post 16 to lift the fan plate 2, allowing the fan plate 2 to spring up and retrieve the medication from the medication chamber.
[0031] Specifically, the upper surfaces of the four fan plates 2 are each engraved with different numbers 4 at their center. A display screen 10 is installed at the outer end of the housing 1, and multiple buttons 9 are installed at the lower end of the display screen 10 at the outer end of the housing 1. Second top posts 37 are fixedly installed on opposite sides of the upper surfaces of the four long plates 40, and push springs 39 are fixedly installed on the lower surfaces of the four long plates 40. An outer shell 6 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the outer end of the housing 1. A second motor 54 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom surface of the outer shell 6, and a power gear 55 is rotatably installed on the upper side of the inner wall of the outer shell 6. A first pulley 47 is fixedly installed at the output end of the second motor 54, and a second pulley 56 is fixedly installed at the center of the lower surface of the power gear 55. The first pulley 47 and the second pulley 56 are connected by a belt. The power gear 55 and the gear ring 15 are meshed and connected. Four outer ring grooves 12 are provided on the upper side of the inner wall of the upper end face of the housing 1. Two holes 14 are provided on the bottom surface of each of the four outer ring grooves 12. An inner groove 38 is provided between the bottom surfaces of the two groups of holes 14. Four long plates 40 are slidably disposed on the inner wall of the four inner grooves 38. Four push springs 39 are fixedly disposed on the bottom surface of the four inner grooves 38. An inner ring groove 35 is provided between the inner walls of the four outer ring grooves 12 on opposite sides. The gear ring 15 is slidably disposed on the inner wall of the inner ring groove 35. A ring block 36 is fixedly disposed on the lower end face of the gear ring 15. Four long arc grooves 53 of different lengths are provided on the upper end face of the gear ring 15. Four second top posts 37 are slidably disposed on the inner wall of the four long arc grooves 53.
[0032] Furthermore, the engravings on the fan plate 2 are "9", "13", "17", and "21", representing different times for taking the medicine. The display screen 10 is embedded in the end face of the housing 1, and the button 9 is also embedded in the end face of the housing 1. The display screen 10 and the button 9 are electrically connected. The button 9 is electrically connected to the first motor 34, the second motor 54, and the electric telescopic rod 46. The second motor 54 is fixedly located on the outer side of the bottom surface inside the housing 6. The power gear 55 is rotatably located on the inner side of the top surface inside the housing 6. The first pulley 47 and... The second pulley 56 is flush with the outer ring groove 12, which is a quarter arc shape. The holes 14 are opened in pairs in the middle of the outer ring groove 12. The push spring 39 is set between the long plate 40 and the inner groove 38. The inner ring groove 35 is circular and connected to the outer ring groove 12. The ring block 36 is slidably embedded in the bottom surface of the inner ring groove 35. The long arc grooves 53 are respectively set as round holes, five round hole diameter grooves, ten round hole diameter grooves, and fifteen round hole diameter grooves. The limiting block 13 is aligned with the beginning of the long arc groove 53.
[0033] The steps of using this invention are as follows: When the "9" mark is reached, the control system will start the second motor 54. The second motor 54 drives the gear ring 15 to rotate via the power gear 55. The rotating gear ring 15 will cause the limiting block 13 to slide on the inner wall of the limiting groove 7. When the limiting block 13 moves to the position of the square groove 8, the longest arc groove 53 will reach the position of the hole 14. The second top post 37 is no longer blocked by the gear ring 15. The push spring 39 pushes the long plate 40 to make the second top post 37 and the first top post 16 bounce up. The first top post 16 will push the fan plate 2, making the fan plate 2 bounce up, while the second top post 37 enters the interior of the longest arc groove 53. When the "13" mark is reached, the second motor 54 drives the gear ring 15 to rotate again via the power gear 55. This time, the second top post 37 slides inside the first arc groove 53, allowing the second limiting block 13 to reach the position of the square groove 8 of the fan plate 2 at the "13" mark. The second top post 37 is pushed by the spring 39 into the second long arc groove 53, while the second top post 16 lifts the fan plate 2, causing it to spring up. When it reaches point "17", the second motor 54 works again. The third limiting block 13 reaches the square groove 8 position of the fan plate 2 at point "17", and the second top post 37 enters the third long arc groove 53. The first top post 16 lifts the fan plate 2. When it reaches point "21", the second motor 54 continues to work. The fourth limiting block 13 moves the fan plate 2 to the square groove 8 position at point "21", and the second top post 37 enters the long arc groove 53 of the round hole. The first top post 16 lifts the fan plate 2. After the last pill is taken, all the fan plates 2 are pressed down, and then the button 9 is pressed to make the second motor 54 drive the gear ring 15 to reset and wait for the next operation. The second motor 54 is a servo motor that can rotate forward and backward.
[0034] Example 2, please refer to Figures 1 to 12The difference from Embodiment 1 is that a lower column 29 is fixedly installed at the center of the bottom surface of the shell 1, and a middle column 18 is rotatably installed at the upper end of the lower column 29. An upper medicine groove 27 is equidistantly opened on the upper side of the outer end face of the middle column 18, and a lower medicine groove 28 is equidistantly opened at the middle of the outer end face of the middle column 18. An upper flap 31 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the upper medicine groove 27, and a lower flap 30 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the lower medicine groove 28. The first motor 34 drives the middle column 18 to rotate. The rotating middle column 18 causes the upper medicine groove 27 to reach the position of the first step block 17 to replenish small pills, and the lower medicine groove 28 to reach the position of the second step block 19 to replenish large pills. Then, the electric telescopic rod 46 pushes the plate to flip the flap, allowing the medicine to fall into the medicine cavity for convenient replenishment.
[0035] Specifically, a first stepped block 17 is symmetrically fixedly arranged on the bottom surface of the inner shell 1, a second stepped block 19 is symmetrically arranged on the bottom surface of the inner shell 1, a long stepped inclined block 25 is symmetrically slidably arranged on the upper surface of the chassis 24, a short stepped inclined block 26 is symmetrically slidably arranged on the upper surface of the chassis 24, a bottom groove 21 is opened on the lower end face of the shell 1, four fan grooves 20 are opened on the top surface of the bottom groove 21, the chassis 24 is threaded onto the inner wall of the bottom groove 21, and two long stepped inclined blocks 25 and two short stepped inclined blocks 26 are fixedly arranged on the upper surface of the chassis 24. The components are respectively installed inside the two first-step blocks 17 and the two second-step blocks 19 through four fan slots 20. Each of the two first-step blocks 17 has an upper slot 22 on the upper side of an adjacent end face, and each of the two second-step blocks 19 has a lower slot 23 in the middle of an adjacent end face. An upper column 11 is rotatably mounted on the upper end of the central column 18. A first positioning sensor 32 is embedded in the upper inner wall of the central column 18, and a second positioning sensor 32 is embedded in the lower inner wall of the upper column 11. 3. An upper groove 50 is formed on the bottom surface of the upper medicine trough 27. An upper plate 42 is slidably disposed on the inner wall of the upper groove 50. An upper top plate 52 is fixedly disposed on the upper end face of the upper plate 42. An upper configuration block 51 is fixedly disposed on one side of the lower end face of the upper flip plate 31. The upper top plate 52 is slidably disposed on the inner wall of the upper medicine trough 27 and is movablely disposed with the upper configuration block 51. A lower groove 44 is formed on the bottom surface of the lower medicine trough 28. A lower plate 45 is slidably disposed on the inner wall of the lower groove 44. The upper end face of the lower plate 45 is fixedly disposed on the inner wall of the lower groove 44. A lower top plate 49 is provided, and a lower configuration block 48 is fixedly provided on one side of the lower end face of the upper flip plate 31. The lower top plate 49 is slidably provided on the inner wall of the medicine lowering tank 28 and is movably configured with the lower configuration block 48. A connecting column 43 is provided between the lower end face of the upper plate 42 and the upper end face of the lower plate 45. A placement groove 41 is opened in the middle of the upper end face of the lower column 29. The first motor 34 is fixedly provided on the bottom surface of the placement groove 41, and the output end of the first motor 34 is provided on the lower end face of the middle column 18.
[0036] Furthermore, the fan groove 20 is fan-shaped and its shape is consistent with that of the fan plate 2. The upper groove 22 passes through the first step block 17, and the lower groove 23 passes through the second step block 19. The upper plate groove 50 is attached to the inner wall of the upper plate groove 50 and is slidably arranged on it. The upper configuration block 51 is used to increase the weight of the inner side of the upper flip plate 31, and the lower configuration block 48 is used to increase the weight of the inner side of the lower flip plate 30. The connecting column 43 passes through the center of the middle column 18 and is connected between the upper plate 42 and the lower plate 45. The middle column 18 is rotatably arranged on the upper end of the lower column 29. The output end of the first motor 34 is fixed at the center of the lower end of the middle column 18. The first sensor and the second sensor are wirelessly connected.
[0037] The invention operates as follows: When it is necessary to replenish the medicine in the medicine cavity, the first motor 34 drives the central column 18 to rotate. The rotating central column 18 aligns the upper medicine slot 27 with one of the upper outlet slots 22. Small tablets inside the first stepped block 17 slide into the upper medicine slot 27 through the inclined long stepped block 25. Then, the first motor 34 drives the central column 18 to rotate, aligning the upper medicine slot 27 with the medicine cavity and activating the electric telescopic rod 46 to push the lower plate 45. This causes the connecting column 43 on the lower plate 45 to push the upper plate 42, causing the upper top plate 52 on the upper plate 42 to press against the lower end of the upper configuration block 51. This causes the upper flip plate 31 to tilt outward, allowing the medicine to slide into the medicine cavity, completing the replenishment. Meanwhile, the first motor 34 drives the central column 18 to rotate, aligning the lower medicine slot 28 with the lower outlet slot 23. Large tablets inside the second stepped block 19 slide down the short stepped block from the lower outlet slot 23 into the lower medicine slot 28. The second motor 54 drives the central column 18 to rotate, moving the medicine trough 28 to the medicine cavity position. The electric telescopic rod 46 pushes the lower plate 45, causing the lower top plate 49 to press against the lower configuration block 48, tilting the lower flap 30 upwards. The medicine falls into the medicine cavity. After the medicine is added, the electric telescopic rod 46 resets. The configuration block increases the weight of the flap, causing the flap to tilt inwards. The weight of the configuration block is greater than the weight of the pill, preventing the pill from pressing the flap and causing it to tilt outwards, resulting in the medicine falling out. After all the medicine is added, the first positioning sensor 32 and the second positioning sensor 33 reset and determine the position of the central column 18. The second motor 54 is a servo motor, just like the first motor 34. Rotating the chassis 24 can remove the long stepped inclined block 25 and the short stepped inclined block 26. Small pills are added to the first stepped block 17, and large pills are added to the second stepped block 19. Separate pills facilitate different replenishment. Example 3, please refer to Figures 1 to 14 The difference from embodiment 2 is that each of the four fan plates 2 is provided with two flashing lights 3 at the top, and a gradient alarm 5 is embedded in the center of the upper surface of the housing 1. When the patient takes the medicine, the flashing lights 3 on the popped-up fan plate 2 will start to flash, and the gradient alarm 5 will start to sound an alarm to remind the patient after the kidney transplant.
[0038] Specifically, four first top pillars 16 and four second top pillars 37 are slidably disposed on the inner walls of multiple holes 14. The four first top pillars 16 are movably disposed at the lower ends of four fan plates 2. The four fan plates 2 are respectively disposed inside the four outer ring grooves 12. The four limiting blocks 13 are slidably disposed on the inner walls of four limiting grooves 7 and four limiting blocks 13 are slidably disposed on the inner walls of four square grooves 8. The two upper outlet grooves 22 and the upper medicine groove 27 are flush with each other. The two lower outlet grooves 23 and the lower medicine groove 28 are flush with each other. The space between the two first step blocks 17 and the two second step blocks 19 forms a medicine cavity, and a weight sensor is disposed at the bottom of the medicine cavity.
[0039] Furthermore, multiple holes 14 are separately arranged on the inner walls of the outer ring groove 12 and the inner ring groove 35, and are arranged in pairs. One end of the limiting groove 7 of the fan plate 2 is movably arranged inside the outer ring groove 12. The cavity formed between the first step block 17 and the second step block 19 is an inverted step shape. The weight sensor is embedded in the bottom of the medicine cavity.
[0040] The steps of using this invention are as follows: When the tablet falls from the medicine slot into the medicine chamber, it will press the weight sensor at the bottom of the medicine chamber, causing the weight sensor to notify the device that medicine has been successfully dispensed, so that the next medicine dispensing can be carried out.
[0041] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention.
