Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smart pillbox technology, and in particular to a smart pillbox with a rotating drug ejection device. Background Technology

[0002] A smart pillbox is a medical device that integrates smart technology, primarily used to help patients manage their medications scientifically and safely. It features multiple functions including timed medication reminders, medication management, remote monitoring, data analysis, safety assurance, and personalized suggestions. Through timed reminders, voice prompts, and flashing lights, the smart pillbox helps patients take their medications on time, avoiding missed or incorrect doses.

[0003] In existing smart pillbox technologies, the drug ejection mechanism typically uses an independent drive device, such as an electromagnetic push rod or a micro motor, in conjunction with a sensor to control the push rod's movement. Taking a motor-driven rotating disk as an example, the system first needs to rotate the rotating disk to the target drug compartment position, and then another motor drives the push rod to eject the drug.

[0004] However, this design has the following problems: the rotating disk and the push rod need to be equipped with independent power sources and control systems, which leads to complex structure and increased cost. At the same time, the coordinated operation of multiple motors is prone to failure and reduces system reliability. In addition, the cooperation between the push rod and the medicine tank relies on high-precision sensors for positioning. If the inertia or mechanical vibration of the rotating disk causes positioning deviation, the push rod and the medicine tank may be misaligned, resulting in jamming. The dual power source design not only increases the size of the equipment, but also reduces the battery life due to the continuous power supply requirement, which limits the portability of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides an intelligent medicine box with a rotary drug ejection device, which can effectively solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is:

[0007] According to one aspect of the present invention, it includes: a mounting base and a plurality of medicine compartments, wherein the mounting base has a plurality of medicine compartment slots spaced annularly around its outer periphery, and each medicine compartment is detachably disposed in one of the medicine compartment slots; it also includes a chassis and a plurality of top rods, wherein the chassis is rotatably disposed at the bottom of the mounting base, and the top rods are movable up and down through the medicine compartment slots and the chassis, wherein one end of the chassis extends toward the mounting base and has a protrusion, and when the protrusion rotates to a position corresponding to one of the medicine compartment slots, the protrusion causes the corresponding top rod to move upward.

[0008] Furthermore, a platform extends from one end of the chassis toward the mounting base, the platform is provided with a mounting groove, and a rotating shaft extends from one end of the mounting base toward the mounting groove. The rotating shaft is rotatably inserted into the mounting groove, and fasteners are assembled between the rotating shaft and the platform.

[0009] Furthermore, the fastener is a plug screw.

[0010] Furthermore, the chassis has a receiving cavity for accommodating a number of push rods; the protrusion is provided in the receiving cavity, and each medicine tank slot has a through hole at its lower end. One end of the push rod passes through the through hole, and the other end abuts against the chassis.

[0011] Furthermore, a limiting boss is provided at one end of the top rod extending toward the chassis. When the top rod moves upward, the upper surface of the limiting boss abuts against the lower surface of the mounting base.

[0012] Furthermore, at least one end face of the protrusion along the axial rotation direction is connected to the chassis to form a sloping surface.

[0013] Furthermore, one end of the mounting base extends toward the platform and is provided with an extension plate, the rotating shaft is located in the middle of the extension plate, the extension plate abuts against the platform, and the extension plate has a number of annular grooves distributed in a ring from the outside to the inside.

[0014] Furthermore, several of the aforementioned medicine containers are fixed to the mounting base by magnetic attraction.

[0015] Furthermore, each of the medicine storage compartments has a plurality of first magnets spaced apart on one end face, and the medicine storage compartments have a plurality of third magnets spaced apart accordingly, with the first magnets and the third magnets attracting each other.

[0016] Furthermore, the medicine container includes a lid and a body that interlock with each other. The body has a plurality of second magnets spaced apart. A plurality of third magnets are fixedly embedded in the lid. The container also includes a plurality of fourth magnets spaced apart on the lid, and the fourth magnets are alternately arranged with the third magnets. The fourth magnets attract each other with the second magnets and repel each other with the first magnets.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows:

[0018] Firstly, by using the rotational linkage between the chassis and the protrusion to drive the push rod, an independent motor or electromagnetic push rod is eliminated, reducing the number of power sources and control units, significantly simplifying the mechanical structure and reducing manufacturing costs.

[0019] Secondly, the contact between the limiting boss and the mounting base restricts the travel of the push rod, preventing excessive ejection or reset failure, and improving the accuracy of the action.

[0020] Third, at least one end face of the protrusion along the rotational direction of the axis connects with the chassis to form a ramp surface. The ramp surface guides the push rod to move upward through a gradually changing contact surface, avoiding jamming or wear caused by rigid collision, ensuring that the lifting action is smooth and controllable, thereby improving the stability and mechanical durability of the ejection process.

[0021] Fourth, by setting several annular grooves, the frictional stress on the rotating contact surface is effectively dispersed, thereby reducing the relative rotational resistance between the chassis and the mounting base.

[0022] Fifth, the first magnet distributed inside the medicine compartment and the third magnet on the medicine compartment lid attract each other with the same pole, ensuring that the medicine compartment remains stable when it is flipped or vibrated. When the push rod lifts the medicine compartment, the fourth magnet on the lid generates a repulsive force with the first magnet, helping the medicine compartment to quickly detach from the medicine compartment compartment.

Detailed Implementation

[0032] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be particularly noted that the following embodiments are only for illustrating the present invention and do not limit the scope of the present invention. Similarly, the following embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this solution provides a smart pillbox with a rotary drug ejection device.

[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The device includes: a mounting base 1 and several medicine compartments 5. Several medicine compartment slots 2 are distributed in a ring around the outer periphery of the mounting base 1, and each medicine compartment 5 is detachably mounted in one of the medicine compartment slots 2. It also includes a reminder device 3, which is mounted on the mounting base 1. The reminder device 3 provides users with low battery reminders, medication reminders, device operating status reminders, etc. The reminder device 3 is a direct application of existing technology, and its working principle will not be described in detail here. Each medicine compartment slot 2 has light-emitting columns 11 on both sides. When the set medication time arrives, the light-emitting columns 11 on both sides of the corresponding medicine compartment slot 2 will flash, providing a voice reminder to the patient. Simultaneously, the mobile app will receive a push notification for the medication reminder. Each medicine compartment slot 2 is also equipped with a Hall sensor (not shown) for detecting whether the medicine compartment 5 has been removed. The Hall sensor is a direct application of existing technology, and its working principle will not be described in detail here.

[0035] Please see Figures 1 to 4The system also includes a chassis 6 and several push rods 8. The chassis 6 is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the mounting base 1. The push rods 8 are movable up and down between the medicine compartment 2 and the chassis 6. One end of the chassis 6 extends towards the mounting base 1 and has a protrusion 61. When the protrusion 61 rotates to the corresponding position of one of the medicine compartments 2, the protrusion 61 causes the corresponding push rod 8 to move upward. Specifically, one end of the chassis 6 extends towards the mounting base 1 and has a platform 60. The platform 60 has a mounting groove 62. One end of the mounting base 1 extends towards the mounting groove 62 and has a rotating shaft 13. The rotating shaft 13 is rotatably inserted into the mounting groove 62. A fastener 7 is fitted between the rotating shaft 13 and the platform 60. Preferably, the fastener 7 is a plug screw. The rotating shaft 13 has a first mounting hole 131, and the chassis 6 has a second mounting hole 64. The plug screw passes through the second mounting hole 64 and is threadedly connected to the first mounting hole 131. The chassis 6 has a cavity 63 for accommodating several push rods 8. A protrusion 61 is provided in the cavity 63. Each medicine compartment 2 has a through hole 12 at its lower end. One end of the push rod 8 passes through the through hole 12, and the other end abuts against the chassis 6. A limiting boss 81 extends from one end of the push rod 8 toward the chassis 6. When the push rod 8 moves upward, the upper surface of the limiting boss 81 abuts against the lower surface of the mounting base 1. The abutment between the limiting boss 81 and the mounting base 1 limits the stroke of the push rod 8, preventing excessive ejection or reset failure, and improving the accuracy of the action. The initial position of the protrusion 61 is located between two adjacent push rods 8.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 At least one end face of the protrusion 61 along the axial rotation direction is connected to the chassis 6 to form a ramp surface 611. The ramp surface 611 guides the push rod 8 to move upward through a gradually changing contact surface, avoiding jamming or wear caused by rigid collision, ensuring that the lifting action is smooth and controllable, thereby improving the stability and mechanical durability of the ejection process. Preferably, both ends of the protrusion 61 have ramp surfaces 611. When the chassis 6 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, the ramp surfaces 611 at both ends of the protrusion 61 can form smooth contact with the push rod 8, enabling the mounting base 1 to support bidirectional rotation operation. This not only reduces the restriction on the rotation direction and enhances the flexibility of user operation, but also balances the force distribution during bidirectional rotation, further reducing stress concentration on one side and extending the overall service life.

[0037] Please see Figure 2 An extension plate 10 extends from one end of the mounting base 1 toward the platform 60. A rotating shaft 13 is located in the middle of the extension plate 10. The extension plate 10 abuts against the platform 60. The extension plate 10 has several annular grooves 14 distributed at intervals from the outside to the inside. By setting several annular grooves 14, the frictional stress of the rotating contact surface is effectively dispersed, thereby reducing the relative rotational resistance between the chassis 6 and the mounting base 1.

[0038] Please see Figures 3 to 6Several medicine compartments 5 are magnetically fixed to the mounting base 1. Specifically, each medicine compartment 2 has several first magnets 4 spaced apart on one end face, and several third magnets 54 spaced apart on the corresponding medicine compartment 5. The first magnets 4 and the third magnets 54 attract each other. The medicine compartment 5 includes a lid 51 and a box body 52 that interlock. Several second magnets 53 are spaced apart on the box body 52, and several third magnets 54 are fixedly embedded in the lid 51. It also includes several fourth magnets 55, which are spaced apart on the lid 51 and are alternately arranged with the third magnets 54. The fourth magnets 55 attract each other with the second magnets 53, and the fourth magnets 55 repel each other from the first magnets 4.

[0039] Working principle:

[0040] When the set medication time arrives, the reminder device 3 activates, the light pillars 11 on both sides of the corresponding medicine compartment 2 flash, and a voice reminder is triggered, along with a medication notification pushed to the mobile app. The user manually rotates the chassis 6, causing the protrusion 61 on the chassis 6 to rotate along the annular groove 14 at the bottom of the mounting base 1. When the protrusion 61 rotates to below the through hole 12 corresponding to the target medicine compartment 2, the inclined surface 611 of the protrusion 61 contacts the push rod 8, pushing the push rod 8 upward along the through hole 12.

[0041] The limiting boss 81 of the push rod 8 rises with the push rod 8 until it abuts against the lower end face of the mounting base 1. At this time, the push rod 8 pushes the corresponding medicine container 5 out of the medicine container slot 2. After the medicine container 5 is pushed out, the Hall sensor in the medicine container slot 2 detects that the medicine container 5 has been dislodged, triggering the light column 11 to stop flashing and turn off the voice broadcast.

[0042] The medicine container 5 is magnetically secured to the mounting base 1. Specifically, the first magnet 4 distributed within the medicine container slot 2 and the third magnet 54 on the medicine container 5 lid 51 are attracted to each other by their same poles, ensuring that the medicine container 5 remains stable when flipped or vibrated. When the push rod 8 lifts the medicine container 5, the fourth magnet 55 on the lid 51 generates a repulsive force with the first magnet 4, assisting the medicine container 5 to quickly detach from the medicine container slot 2.

[0043] When reloading the medicine container 5, the user needs to rotate the chassis 6 to move the protrusion 61 away from the current medicine container slot 2, and the push rod 8 will return to the receiving cavity 63 under the action of gravity. Then, the medicine container 5 is inserted into the bottom of the medicine container slot 2, and the first magnet 4 and the third magnet 54 are attracted and fixed again, completing the loading.

[0044] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
