Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of safe medication equipment, specifically a medication dispensing device for the elderly. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid aging of my country's population, the number of elderly people is increasing year by year, and the number of elderly patients with chronic diseases is accumulating. Drug therapy is one of the most common and effective treatments for elderly chronic diseases, and maintaining blood drug concentration is one of the necessary conditions for the drug to take effect. Elderly patients with chronic diseases should take their medication according to their doctor's instructions at a certain dosage and time. If the medication is interrupted, the blood drug concentration cannot be maintained, which will affect the treatment effect.
[0003] According to publicly available patent CN118514979A, a safe medication dispensing device for the elderly is described. This invention, applied in the field of safe medication equipment technology, comprises a medicine box, suction cup assembly, lid assembly, medicine tray, announcement assembly, support assembly, auxiliary sliding assembly, pushing assembly, and battery. When the elderly person is not nearby to provide immediate care, their children or neighbors open the lid assembly at the top of the medicine box. During this process, the suction cup assembly at the bottom of the medicine box firmly adheres to the elderly person's table. Different medications are then placed on top of the various support assemblies inside the medicine tray, thus achieving the categorized storage of different medications. Then, by controlling the medication administration time via a broadcast component, the system aims to automatically announce the medication time when the elderly person is alone. Simultaneously, a corresponding push component will automatically move the pillbox carrying the prescribed medication out of the medicine box. Traditional methods only remind the elderly to take their medication and push the pillbox out. However, because the elderly often take many different medications and may not remember the dosage, they are prone to taking too much or too little. Overdosing can be harmful, while underdosing can affect the treatment's effectiveness. Therefore, a new technical solution is needed to address this issue. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, adapt to the needs of reality, and provide a safe medication dispensing device for the elderly. This device can solve the technical problems of simply reminding the elderly to take their medication and pushing out the medicine box. Because the elderly take too many types of medication and cannot remember the dosage of a particular medicine, they are prone to taking too much or too little medication. Taking too much medication can easily cause harm to the elderly, while taking too little medication will affect the treatment effect.
[0005] To achieve the purpose of this utility model, the technical solution adopted is as follows: A safe medication dispensing device for the elderly is designed, including a medicine box with an open top.

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:
[0022] Example 1: A safe medication dispensing device for the elderly, see [link to example]. Figures 1 to 5 The medicine box 1 includes an open top. A lid 11 is hinged to the top opening of the medicine box 1. A latch 12 is provided between the lid 11 and the medicine box 1. A timer 2 is installed on the lid 11. Multiple through holes 13 are provided at the front end of the medicine box 1, each communicating with a medicine storage compartment inside the medicine box 1. Dispensing plates 25 are slidably connected within each of the through holes 13. The bottom of the dispensing plates 25 is fitted against the bottom of the inner cavity of the medicine box 1. Each medicine box 1 has multiple medicine outlet holes 26, and each medicine outlet hole 26 is equipped with a sealing plug 27. The medicine outlet holes 26 on the multiple medicine outlet plates 25 have different shapes. Each medicine storage compartment in the medicine box 1 is equipped with a partition 23. The bottom of the partition 23 is fitted to the surface of the medicine outlet plate 25. One end of the partition 23 is inclined and connected to a guide plate 24. Multiple electric telescopic rods 22 are installed at the rear end of the medicine box 1. The drive ends of the multiple electric telescopic rods 22 slide through the medicine box 1 and are connected to the multiple medicine outlet plates 25 respectively. Next, a broadcaster 21 is installed at one end of the medicine box 1. When in operation, the lid 11 is opened by the latch 12, and then different types of medicines are placed into different storage compartments in the medicine box 1. The medicines are placed into the storage compartments with corresponding shaped dispensing holes 26 according to their shape. Then, according to the dosage of different types of medicines, the corresponding number of dispensing holes 26 are reserved through the sealing plug 27. Then, the timer 2 is set to take the medicine. When it is time to take the medicine, the broadcaster 21 will remind the elderly to take the medicine. At the same time, the electric telescopic rod 22 will be activated to push the dispensing plate 25 to move to the outside of the medicine box 1. When the dispensing plate 25 is placed to the outside of the medicine box 1, the medicine in the storage compartment of the medicine box 1 will be placed in the dispensing hole 26. Since only one medicine can be put into one dispensing hole 26, when the dispensing hole 26 is placed to the outside of the medicine box 1, the medicine will fall out from the dispensing hole 26. This allows for the timely and quantitative dispensing of different medicines, so that the elderly do not need to remember the dosage of different types of medicines, thus ensuring the safety of the elderly's medicine consumption.
[0023] For details, see Figure 1 and Figure 3The medicine box 1 has L-shaped sliding plates 3 installed at an angle on both sides of its front end. A medicine storage box 31 is located between the opposite ends of the two L-shaped sliding plates 3. Sliding strips 34 are provided at both ends of the medicine storage box 31. Sliding grooves 32 are provided at the opposite ends of the two L-shaped sliding plates 3. The two sliding strips 34 are slidably connected within the two sliding grooves 32. A first permanent magnet 35 is installed on the sliding strip 34, and a second permanent magnet 33 is installed inside the sliding groove 32. The magnetic poles of the opposite ends of the first permanent magnet 35 and the second permanent magnet 33 are opposite. When medicine is dispensed from the medicine box... When the medicine is discharged from the box 1, it is received by the L-shaped sliding plate 3 and then slid into the medicine storage box 31, which facilitates the collection of multiple medicines. The medicine storage box 31 is slidably connected to the slide groove 32 by the slide bar 34, which makes it easy to pull out the medicine storage box 31, making it easier for the elderly to take out and consume the medicine. When the medicine storage box 31 is connected between the two L-shaped sliding plates 3, the first permanent magnet 35 and the second permanent magnet 33 attract each other, thereby improving the stability of the medicine storage box 31 when receiving medicine.
[0024] Further, see Figure 1 The medicine box 1 has screws 4 installed on both sides of one bottom end. A pressure plate 41 is slidably sleeved between the outer sides of the two screws 4. Nuts 42 are threaded onto the outer sides of the two screws 4 below the pressure plate 41. An anti-slip pad 43 is installed on the end of the pressure plate 41 near the medicine box 1. The anti-slip pad 43 is made of rubber. When the medicine box 1 is placed on the edge of the table, the pressure plate 41 is placed under the table. Then, the nuts 42 are turned to make the pressure plate 41 press against the bottom surface of the table. The anti-slip pad 43 increases the friction between the pressure plate 41 and the table, thus making it easier to fix the medicine box 1 stably on the table.
[0025] It is worth noting that, see Figure 5 A rectangular hole 28 is provided at the end of the partition 23 away from the guide plate 24. A miniature vibration motor 29 is installed at the end of the guide plate 24 close to the partition 23. When the medicine is dispensed, the miniature vibration motor 29 also works, thereby driving the guide plate 24 and the medicine to vibrate, which facilitates the medicine to be quickly placed into the medicine dispensing hole 26.
