[0028] In order to make the technical problems solved by the present invention, the technical solutions adopted and the technical effects achieved more clear, the technical solutions of the present invention are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0029] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "connected," "connected," and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integration; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components or interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention in specific circumstances.

[0030] In the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include the first and second features being in direct contact, or may include the first and second features being in contact not directly but through another feature between them. Furthermore, a first feature being "above," "above," and "above" a second feature may include the first feature being directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or may simply mean that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below," "below," and "below" a second feature may include the first feature being directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or may simply mean that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0031] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," and other orientations or positional relationships are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are intended solely for ease of description and simplified operation. They do not indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to must have, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used solely for descriptive purposes and have no special meanings.

[0032] The present invention provides a medicine bottle, such as Figure 1 As shown, the medicine bottle includes a bottle cap 1 and a bottle body 2. The bottle cap 1 includes an inserting portion 12 inserted into the bottle body 2. The inserting portion 12 can slide relative to the bottle body 2 and has a reset function. The inserting portion 12 is provided with a medicine outlet groove 121 and a medicine outlet hole 122 that are connected to each other. By controlling the inserting portion 12 to slide within the bottle body 2, the opening and closing of the medicine outlet hole 122 is controlled, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the medicine bottle.

[0033] Specifically, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the medicine outlet groove 121 is opened on the side wall of the medicine outlet hole 122, and the bottle body 2 is provided with a shielding portion 24, which always circumferentially surrounds and covers the plug-in portion 12. When the bottle cap 1 is pressed, the plug-in portion 12 moves downward with the bottle cap 1, and the medicine outlet groove 121 is connected to the inner cavity 22 of the bottle body 2 through the medicine outlet hole 122. The medicine bottle is opened, and the medicine in the inner cavity 22 of the bottle body 2 can enter the medicine outlet groove 121 through the medicine outlet hole 122 and then be taken out by the user. When the medicine is no longer needed, the bottle cap 1 automatically resets through the reset function, at which time the shielding portion 24 blocks the medicine outlet hole 122, and the medicine bottle is closed. Since the medicine bottle only needs to press the bottle cap 1 to make the plug-in portion 12 move downward, the medicine outlet groove 121 on the plug-in portion 12 is connected to the inner cavity 22 of the bottle body 2 through the medicine outlet hole 122, so that the medicine can be taken out. Since the plug-in portion 12 has a reset function, when the medicine bottle needs to be closed after taking out the medicine, the plug-in portion 12 automatically resets. Therefore, the medicine bottle is easy to operate and saves time and effort when opening and closing the medicine bottle. At the same time, since the plug-in portion 12 on the bottle cap 1 is connected to the inner cavity 22 of the bottle body 2 when the bottle cap 1 is pressed, the medicine outlet hole 122 on the plug-in portion 12 is blocked by the blocking portion 24 on the bottle body 2 when the bottle cap 1 is reset. The plug-in portion 12 is always kept in contact with the bottle body 2 during the process of opening and resetting the bottle cap 1, thereby avoiding the loss of the bottle cap 1 due to separation of the bottle cap 1 and the bottle body 2.

[0034] In order to more clearly describe the positional relationship between the plug-in portion 12 and the shielding portion 24, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a flange 123 is provided at the bottom of the plug-in portion 12. When the bottle cap 1 is reset, the flange 123 cooperates with the shielding portion 24 to limit the relative position of the bottle cap 1 and the bottle body 2. Specifically, as Figure 2 As shown, the cross-sectional area of ​​the insertion hole formed by the shielding portion 24 gradually increases from top to bottom, and the maximum cross-sectional area of ​​the flange 123 is larger than the minimum cross-sectional area of ​​the insertion hole. Because the maximum cross-sectional area of ​​the flange 123 is larger than the minimum cross-sectional area of ​​the insertion hole, when the insertion portion 12 moves upward, the flange 123 abuts the shielding portion 24, preventing the insertion portion 12 from separating from the bottle body 2, thereby preventing the bottle cap 1 from separating from the bottle body 2 and preventing the bottle cap 1 from being lost.

[0035] In order to increase the sealing performance of the medicine bottle, a rubber pad is provided on the flange 123. When the flange 123 contacts the shielding portion 24, that is, when the medicine outlet 122 is closed, the rubber pad on the flange 123 abuts against the shielding portion 24 to prevent the medicine in the inner cavity 22 of the bottle body 2 from being contaminated by the outside world.

[0036] In order to prevent the medicine bottle from being opened due to accidental touch by the operator, the medicine bottle also includes a limit assembly, which is used to limit the bottle cap 1 from sliding relative to the bottle body 2 when the bottle cap 1 is reset and the bottle cap 1 is rotated to a preset position relative to the bottle body 2.

[0037] Specifically, if Figure 3 As shown, the limiting assembly includes a slot 21 and a tenon 11. The slot 21 is provided on the bottle body 2 and extends in a direction away from the bottle cap 1, and the tenon 11 is provided on the bottle cap 1. When the bottle cap 1 is pressed, the tenon 11 is inserted into the slot 21. At this time, the medicine outlet groove 121 on the plug-in portion 12 is connected to the inner cavity 22 of the bottle body 2 through the medicine outlet hole 122, and the medicine bottle is in an open state; when the bottle cap 1 is reset and the bottle cap 1 is rotated to a preset position relative to the bottle body 2, the tenon 11 and the slot 21 are staggered along the circumference of the bottle body 2, and the top of the tenon 11 abuts against the bottle body 2 where the slot 21 is located. At this time, the medicine outlet hole 122 is blocked by the shielding portion 24, and the medicine bottle is in a closed state. Since the slot 21 and the tenon 11 are misaligned when the bottle cap 1 is in the reset state, when opening the medicine bottle, the operator needs to first twist the bottle cap 1 so that the tenon 11 is aligned with the slot 21, and then press the bottle cap 1 downward so that the tenon 11 is inserted into the slot 21 to open the medicine bottle. This effectively increases the difficulty of accidentally opening the bottle cap 1, especially increases the difficulty for children to imitate adults to open the medicine bottle, and prevents losses or even accidents caused by accidentally opening the medicine bottle. In other embodiments, the slot 21 can also be on the bottle cap 1, and the tenon 11 can also be set on the bottle body 2, which can also prevent the medicine bottle from being accidentally opened.

[0038] Preferably, to further increase the difficulty of accidentally opening the bottle cap 1 and prevent children from misoperating, protrusions 23 are provided at both intersections of the slot 21 and the end of the outer wall where it is located. These protrusions 23 are used to increase the resistance to twisting the bottle cap 1. During the process of twisting the bottle cap 1, the tenon 11 will contact the protrusions 23. However, because the protrusions 23 are relatively small, the operator only needs to increase the force to continue twisting the bottle cap 1 to cause the tenon 11 to elastically deform and pass through the protrusions 23 to face the slot 21. The provision of the protrusions 23 increases the force required to twist the bottle cap 1, making it more difficult to accidentally open the bottle cap 1. Since children have less strength, losses or even accidents caused by accidentally opening the bottle cap 1 are effectively prevented.

[0039] In addition, if Figure 1As shown, a spring assembly 3 is provided between the bottle cap 1 and the bottle body 2. The spring assembly 3 is used to drive the bottle cap 1 to reset. Since the plug-in portion 12 is a part of the bottle cap 1, the reset function of the plug-in portion 12 can be achieved by the spring assembly 3. Since the spring assembly 3 applies a resetting elastic force to the bottle cap 1, it is convenient to reset the bottle cap 1 during use. At the same time, this elastic force provides resistance to opening the medicine bottle, effectively increasing the difficulty of accidentally opening the bottle cap 1, and preventing losses or even accidents caused by accidentally opening the medicine bottle.

[0040] Preferably, the spring assembly 3 includes a compression spring, which is sleeved on the outer circumference of the plug-in portion 12, with the upper end of the compression spring abutting against the bottle cap 1 and the lower end abutting against the bottle body 2. When it is necessary to take medicine, the bottle cap 1 is pressed down, and the medicine outlet groove 121 on the plug-in portion 12 is connected to the inner cavity 22 of the bottle body 2 through the medicine outlet hole 122. The compression spring is compressed by the bottle cap 1. When the bottle cap 1 needs to be reset, the operator releases the bottle cap 1, and the compression spring pushes the bottle cap 1 away from the bottle body 2, facilitating the reset of the bottle cap 1 in the up and down directions. At the same time, it increases the force of pressing the bottle cap 1 when opening the medicine outlet hole 122, making it more difficult to accidentally open the bottle cap 1.

[0041] Furthermore, the spring assembly 3 also includes a torsion spring, which is also sleeved on the outer periphery of the plug-in portion 12. One end of the torsion spring is connected to the bottle cap 1, and the other end is connected to the bottle body 2. When the tenon 11 is located outside the slot 21, the torsion spring is in an elastically deformed state. The torsion spring applies elastic force to the bottle cap 1, causing the bottle cap 1 to rotate to a preset position relative to the bottle body 2, and then the torsion spring returns to a free state. By connecting the torsion spring between the bottle cap 1 and the bottle body 2, it is convenient to reset the bottle cap 1 to the preset position in the rotation direction after achieving the vertical reset. At the same time, it increases the force required to twist the bottle cap 1 when opening the medicine outlet 122 after the bottle cap 1 is reset, making it more difficult for the bottle cap 1 to be opened by mistake.

[0042] In addition, a transparent window is provided on the bottle body 2 for observing the remaining amount of medicine in the inner cavity 22 , which facilitates the user to understand the remaining amount of medicine in the bottle and the status of the medicine.

[0043] To facilitate readers' understanding, the principles of the present invention are as follows:

[0044] When the medicine bottle is in the closed state, the latch 11 and the slot 21 are offset along the circumference of the bottle body 2, and the top of the latch 11 abuts the bottle body 2 where the slot 21 is located. At this time, the compression spring and the torsion spring are both in a free state. When it is necessary to open the medicine bottle, the operator first screws the bottle cap 1 so that the latch 11 abuts the protrusion 23, and then continues to screw the bottle cap 1 with force so that the latch 11 is facing the slot 21. Then, the bottle cap 1 is pressed down so that the latch 11 is inserted into the slot 21, and the plug-in portion 12 is moved downward. The discharge chute is connected to the inner cavity 22 of the bottle body 2 through the discharge hole, and the medicine bottle is opened. At this time, the compression spring and the torsion spring are both in an elastically deformed state. When the medicine bottle needs to be closed, the operator loosens the bottle cap 1, and the bottle cap 1 moves upward under the elastic force of the compression spring, driving the plug-in part 12 upward, and the discharge hole is blocked by the shielding part 24 on the bottle body 2. When the bottle cap 1 rises to the initial height, the bottle cap 1 is driven by the elastic force of the torsion spring to rotate back to the initial position, completing the resetting process of the bottle cap 1 and the medicine bottle is closed.

[0045] The above contents are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, according to the concept of the present invention, there may be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scopes. The contents of this specification should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
