Adjustable pill cutting device

Abstract

An adjustable pill-cutting device includes a base, a pressure cap, a plurality of elastic elements, and a space adjustment element. The base includes a bottom side portion, a semi-open enclosure wall, a pill-placement space, and a first opening; the pressure cap includes a top side portion, a semi-open outer wall, a blade, and a second opening; the elastic elements abut against the bottom side portion and the top side portion respectively at both ends; the space adjustment element is movably disposed on one side of the semi-open enclosure wall. When the pressure cap and base are assembled, the semi-open outer wall is fitted around the periphery of the semi-open enclosure wall, the blade of the blade faces the bottom side portion, and its longitudinal extension direction is perpendicular to the top surface of the bottom side portion; the space adjustment element can adjust the width of the pill-placement space. In this way, the blade cuts into the pill in a longitudinally perpendicular manner, resulting in uniform cutting force; the pill-placement space can be adjusted laterally according to the size of the pill, ensuring that the center of the pill is aligned with the blade, achieving a precise halving effect.
