Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medicine storage and access, in particular to a convenient-to-use medicine box; the present invention also relates to the technical field of water cups, in particular to a combined water cup with medicine box functions. Background Art

[0002] Many patients with chronic diseases need to take medication at regular times and in fixed amounts every day. Furthermore, with increasing awareness of health, more and more healthy individuals are becoming accustomed to taking a certain amount of vitamins daily. Making it easy for people to carry and consume their pills while out and about, even while traveling, has become a pressing issue.

[0003] There are numerous compact pill boxes on the market. These boxes typically have multiple, relatively independent storage compartments for different tablets, which can be opened as needed to remove tablets for administration. While these boxes are simple and portable, they require manual removal of tablets from the storage compartments. Due to the typically small size of the storage compartments, retrieving tablets can be challenging, especially for those with larger hands. Furthermore, this method of removing tablets frequently requires manual contact, significantly increasing the risk of contamination.

[0004] In response to this, existing technology has also provided some more intelligent medicine boxes, which generally include batteries, medicine dispensing devices, PCB boards, etc. The battery-driven medicine dispensing device can automatically dispense medicine, significantly reducing the frequency of contact between tablets and hands. However, their drawbacks are also very obvious: first, the medicine dispensing device of such medicine boxes generally includes transmission structures such as gears and racks, which greatly increases the weight of the medicine box and reduces its portability; second, the structure is relatively delicate and complex, and if it is not stored properly, it may cause various malfunctions, causing unnecessary trouble to the user; third, such medicine boxes require charging or external power supply. If the battery is low and the external power supply cannot be found, it cannot be used, resulting in low reliability; finally, due to the high manufacturing cost, the price of such medicine boxes is also much higher than that of ordinary medicine boxes.

[0005] In addition, when people take pills, they generally need to take them with water. The prior art also provides a water cup with a medicine box function, but the medicine box also has the above-mentioned defects, and the structure of the water cup is also often very complicated. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a medicine box which can not only realize automatic medicine dispensing but also has a simple structure and is both easy to use and reliable.

[0007] Another technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a combined water cup that combines the functions of the medicine box and the water cup.

[0008] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0009] A medicine box is provided, comprising a box body and a base installed at the lower part of the box body, the box body also comprising a medicine storage plate, a pressable key column and a medicine discharge hopper that can be pushed by the key column, the medicine storage plate is installed in the box body, the key column is movably arranged on the medicine storage plate up and down, a accommodating cavity is formed between the medicine storage plate and the base, the medicine discharge hopper is arranged in the accommodating cavity, and one end of the medicine storage plate is communicated with the medicine discharge hopper.

[0010] With this structure, tablets on the medicine storage plate can be transferred to the medicine hopper. Pressing the key column pushes the medicine hopper to automatically dispense the medicine, effectively avoiding unnecessary contact between hands and tablets and significantly reducing the risk of contamination. Compared with existing technologies, this device automatically removes tablets using a simple tipping principle, without the need for a power source or complex motorized mechanism. It is not only simple to use, lightweight and portable, but also has a low failure rate.

[0011] Preferably, the medicine box further includes a guide seat, a first spring for resetting the key column, and a second spring for resetting the medicine hopper. The guide seat is disposed on the medicine storage plate, the key column is disposed within the guide seat via the first spring, the medicine hopper is rotatably mounted within the box body, and the second spring is mounted on the medicine hopper. The guide seat prevents the key column from deflecting during depression and rebound, thereby improving operational accuracy and preventing unnecessary damage caused by displacement.

[0012] Further preferably, a push rod extending downward is provided at the bottom of the key column, the medicine hopper includes a medicine discharging chute, a rotating shaft located on the side of the medicine discharging chute, and a pressure column that can be pushed by the push rod. The medicine discharging hopper is mounted in the box body via the rotating shaft. The medicine discharging chute has a medicine discharging end, and the pressure column is located at the medicine discharging end and corresponds to the push rod. The cooperation between the push rod and the pressure column can effectively improve the efficiency of pressing, and the medicine discharging chute can prevent medicine from getting stuck, making the removal of tablets smoother.

[0013] Furthermore, the medicine storage plate has a medicine storage ramp, the tail end of which is connected to the medicine discharge chute of the medicine discharge hopper. The medicine storage ramp allows the tablets stored therein to directly enter the medicine discharge hopper by gravity, further improving convenience.

[0014] As a further improvement to the aforementioned technical solution, the medicine box includes three medicine storage plates, three medicine discharge hoppers, and three partition plates. The three medicine storage plates and the three partition plates together form three medicine placement areas. Each medicine storage plate includes a head end and a tail end, with a spirally descending ramp formed between the head end and the tail end. Each partition plate is provided with a medicine discharge hole, and the tail end of each medicine storage plate communicates with the medicine discharge hopper through the medicine discharge hole. By providing the medicine discharge holes in the partition plates, the medicine discharge hopper is cleverly positioned below the adjacent medicine placement area. Combined with the spirally descending ramp, the entire space on the medicine storage plates is fully utilized, allowing for storage of more tablets and facilitating their self-sliding into the medicine discharge hopper. This achieves three medicine placement areas while ensuring that the size of the medicine box remains within a reasonable range.

[0015] Specifically, the medicine box also includes a guide seat, a first spring that can reset the key column and a second spring that can reset the medicine hopper. The guide seat is arranged on the medicine storage plate, and the key column is rotatably arranged in the guide seat through the first spring. The medicine hopper is rotatably installed in the box body, and the second spring is installed on the medicine hopper. The key column can push the three medicine hoppers respectively through rotation.

[0016] More specifically, a push rod extending downward is provided at the bottom of the key column, and the medicine discharging hopper includes a medicine discharging chute, a rotating shaft located on the side of the medicine discharging chute and a pressure column that can be pushed by the push rod. The medicine discharging hopper is installed in the box body through the rotating shaft, and the medicine discharging chute is provided with a medicine discharging end. The pressure column is located at the medicine discharging end. By rotating the key column, the push rod can be made to correspond to the pressure columns of the corresponding medicine discharging hoppers.

[0017] Furthermore, each medicine storage plate is provided with a mounting plate extending downward, and both ends of the rotating shaft of the medicine hopper are respectively connected to the mounting plate and the partition plate corresponding to the mounting plate.

[0018] As an improvement to the above-mentioned solution, the guide seat is further provided with three medicine box covers that match the medicine placement area and can be opened and closed independently. The key column is also provided with a first mark, and the three medicine box covers are respectively provided with three second marks. When the first mark is aligned with one of the second marks, the push rod of the key column corresponds to a corresponding pressure column of the medicine discharge hopper.

[0019] Another improvement is that the key column is further provided with a latching protrusion, and the inner side wall of the guide seat is provided with three latching grooves that all match the latching protrusion. When the latching protrusion enters one of the latching grooves, the push rod of the key column engages with the corresponding pressure column of the medicine hopper. The coordination between the latching protrusion and the latching groove provides the user with a different feedback feel, making the alignment work more convenient. The effect is particularly significant for scenes with poor lighting or users with poor eyesight. At the same time, the up and down movement of the protrusion in the latching groove can provide a certain guidance function for the key column, preventing displacement.

[0020] Specifically, a resilient retaining plate is provided on the side of the key column, and the retaining protrusion is provided on the retaining plate. The retaining groove of the guide seat is strip-shaped, and the retaining protrusion can move up and down within the retaining groove. The resilient retaining plate makes it easier for the retaining protrusion to enter the guide seat, and the resulting operating feel is also more obvious.

[0021] Preferably, the guide seat further includes three guide ribs, which are arranged on the inner side surface of the guide seat and are all located below the locking groove. The space enclosed by the three guide ribs matches the size of the key column. The guide ribs directly act on the main body of the key column, making the guiding function more effective.

[0022] Specifically, the guide seat also includes a boss and three through holes. The boss is arranged in the middle position of the bottom of the guide seat. The first spring is sleeved on the boss. The three through holes are opened at the bottom of the guide seat. The push rod of the key column can push the pressure columns of the three medicine hoppers respectively through the three through holes.

[0023] A combined drinking cup is also provided, comprising a cup lid, a cup body, and a medicine box using the aforementioned technical solution. The cup lid is positioned above the cup body, and the medicine box is detachably mounted on the cup body. With this structure, the cup can be used to provide water while removing pills, making it more convenient to take the pills. Alternatively, the medicine box can be removed and used independently as either the drinking cup or the medicine box, meeting the needs of different scenarios.

[0024] Preferably, the cup lid is detachably mounted above the cup body, and the medicine box is mounted below the cup body. The cup lid comprises an outer lid and an inner lid, between which a power supply assembly and a circuit board electrically connected to the power supply assembly are disposed. The outer lid is also provided with a display screen electrically connected to the circuit board. The display screen can display general information such as time and temperature, and can also be set to remind patients to take medicine, making it particularly useful for the elderly.

[0025] The combined water bottle further preferably includes a handle. The top of the outer cup lid is recessed to form a mounting groove that matches the shape of the handle. The handle is rotatably mounted within the mounting groove, and the display is embedded in the center of the mounting groove. The handle further enhances the portability of the water bottle, and the mounting relationship between the handle and the display fully utilizes the space in the cup lid, making the product structure more compact.

[0026] Further preferably, a sterilization lamp electrically connected to the circuit board is provided inside the cup cover, and a lampshade is provided at the bottom of the inner cup cover, through which light emitted by the sterilization lamp can pass. The sterilization lamp can disinfect the water cup or medicine box to reduce the harm of viruses to the human body.

[0042] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages to be solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0043] All figures only illustrate portions relevant to the present invention, not the complete structure of the medicine box and water cup. The term "medicine" in the medicine box disclosed herein broadly refers to any product intended for human or animal consumption, including but not limited to tablets, capsules, and even smaller granular products with or without therapeutic or health-promoting properties. For ease of description, these are collectively referred to as "tablets" throughout this disclosure.

[0044] like Figure 1-10 A preferred embodiment of the medicine box provided by the present invention is shown. Figure 1 The medicine box 1 includes a box body 2 and a base 3 mounted at the lower portion of the box body. The box body 2 and the base 3 can be detachably connected by means of threads, snaps, or other conventional methods. In this embodiment, the base 3 is a measuring cup with a scale (the scale is not shown in the figure) that can receive tablets removed from the box body 2. For some tablets that need to be dissolved before taking, the scale on the measuring cup can also be used to easily solve the problem.

[0045] Please also refer to Figure 2-3The box body 2 further includes a housing 21, a medicine storage plate 4, a depressible key 5, and a medicine dispensing hopper 6 that can be pushed by the key. The medicine storage plate 4 is mounted within the housing 21 and is preferably integrally formed. The medicine storage plate 4 can be one or more pieces. The key 5 is inserted through the medicine storage plate 4 and can be moved up and down. A cavity is formed between the medicine storage plate 4 and the base 3, and the medicine dispensing hopper 6 is disposed within this cavity. In this embodiment, the medicine dispensing hopper 6 is located within the box body 2, making the structure more compact. One end of the medicine storage plate 4 communicates with the medicine dispensing hopper 6. With this structure, tablets on the medicine storage plate 4 can enter the medicine dispensing hopper 6. Pressing the key 5 and pushing the medicine dispensing hopper 6 automatically dispenses the tablets, effectively avoiding unnecessary contact between the hand and the tablets and significantly reducing the risk of contamination. Compared to existing technologies, this device utilizes a simple tipping principle to automatically remove tablets, eliminating the need for a power source or complex motorized mechanism. It is simple to use, lightweight, and portable, with a low failure rate.

[0046] Specifically, please refer to Figure 4-7 The medicine box 1 also includes a guide seat 7, a first spring 51 that can reset the key column 5, and a second spring 61 that can reset the medicine hopper 6. The guide seat 7 can be installed on the medicine storage plate 4 through existing methods such as snap-on connection and threading. In this embodiment, the guide seat 7 is preferably a hollow cylindrical structure, which is injection-molded integrally with the medicine storage plate 4 and the box shell 21. The key column 5 is inserted into the guide seat 7 via the first spring 51. The first spring 51 is squeezed when the key column 5 is pressed down and automatically rebounds to reset after release. The medicine hopper 6 is rotatably installed in the box body 2, and the second spring 61 is installed on the medicine hopper 6. After the key column 5 pushes the medicine hopper 6 to complete the medicine discharge, the second spring 61 will rebound to reset the medicine hopper 6. The guide seat 7 prevents the key column 5 from deflecting during the pressing and rebounding process, improving the accuracy of the operation while avoiding unnecessary damage caused by displacement.

[0047] More specifically, a push rod 52 extending downward is provided at the bottom of the key column 5, and the medicine discharging hopper 6 includes a medicine discharging chute 65, a rotating shaft 62 located on the side of the medicine discharging chute 65, and a pressure column 63 that can be pushed by the push rod 52. The medicine discharging hopper 6 is rotatably mounted in the box body 2 via the rotating shaft 62. Figure 1As shown, the medicine discharging hopper 6 is roughly elliptical in shape, and the medicine discharging chute 65 is provided with a medicine discharging end 611. The pressure column 63 is located at the medicine discharging end 611 and corresponds to the push rod 52. The medicine storage plate 4 has a medicine storage ramp, which can be a part of the medicine storage plate 4, or the entire medicine storage plate 4 can form a medicine storage ramp. The tail end of the medicine storage ramp is connected to the medicine discharging chute 65 of the medicine discharging hopper 6. The so-called "medicine storage ramp" refers to a design with a certain inclination angle, which can be a simple one-end high and one-end low, or a spiral descending shape. If the medicine storage plate 4 is designed to be horizontal, the medicine storage plate 4 stored therein needs to be tilted or shaken to guide the medicine storage plate 4 stored therein into the medicine discharging chute 65 of the medicine discharging hopper 6. The medicine storage ramp allows the tablets stored therein to directly enter the medicine discharging hopper 6 by the action of gravity, thereby further improving convenience. The cooperation between the push rod 52 and the pressing column 63 can effectively improve the efficiency of pressing, and the medicine discharging slide 65 can prevent the medicine from being stuck, making the removal of the tablets smoother.

[0048] The above embodiment does not limit the number of medicine storage plates, that is, the number of medicine storage plates or medicine storage areas can be determined according to the design size of the medicine box and the main usage scenario, which can be 1, 2 or more. In this embodiment, the inventor believes that providing 3 medicine storage areas is the best solution, which not only ensures convenience but also does not make the medicine box too large. Please refer to Figure 4 、 6 The medicine box includes three medicine storage plates 4, three medicine outlet hoppers 6 and three partition plates 8. The three partition plates 8 are installed between the three medicine storage plates 4. The partition plates 8, the medicine storage plates 4 and the box body shell 21 together form three medicine placement areas. In order to facilitate observation, the box body 2 of the medicine box 1 in this embodiment can be made of transparent material. The medicine storage plates 4 each include a head end 41 and a tail end 42. A spiral descending ramp is formed between the head end 41 and the tail end 42. The three medicine storage plates 4 together enclose a Figure 4 Cylindrical shape shown.

[0049] The bottom of the partition plate 8 is provided with a medicine outlet 81. Figure 5Each partition plate 8 is connected to the rear end 42 of one medicine storage plate 4 and the front end 41 of another adjacent medicine storage plate 4. A medicine discharge hole 81 is provided in the partition plate 8 at a position corresponding to the rear end 42 of the adjacent medicine storage plate 4. A medicine discharge hopper 6 corresponding to the medicine discharge hole 81 is located below the front end 41 of the adjacent medicine storage plate 4. The rear end 42 of the medicine storage plate 4 communicates with the medicine discharge hopper 6 through the medicine discharge hole 81. Due to the height difference between the rear end 42 of the medicine storage plate 4 and the front end 41 of the adjacent medicine storage plate 4, the medicine discharge hole 81 does not cause tablets to leak from the front end 41 of the adjacent medicine storage plate 4. This structure of the present embodiment cleverly utilizes space, fully and completely utilizing the ramp formed by the front end 41 and rear end 42 of the medicine storage plate 4. This allows for more tablet storage and facilitates the tablets' natural sliding into the medicine discharge hopper 6, thereby achieving three medicine storage areas while ensuring that the size of the medicine box 2 is within a reasonable range.

[0050] Specifically, the medicine box further includes a guide seat 7, a first spring 51 for resetting the key column 5, and a second spring 61 for resetting the medicine hopper 6. The guide seat 7 is disposed on the medicine storage plate 4. Preferably, the guide seat 7, medicine storage plate 4, and partition plate 8 of this embodiment are all integrally molded using injection molding. The key column 5 is rotatably disposed within the guide seat 7 via the first spring 51. The medicine hopper 6 is rotatably mounted within the box body 2. The second spring 61 is mounted on the medicine hopper 6. The key column 5 can rotate to push each of the three medicine hoppers 6.

[0051] More specifically, if Figure 10 As shown, the bottom of the key column 5 is provided with a push rod 52 extending downward, and the medicine hopper 6 includes a medicine chute 65, a rotating shaft 62 located on the side of the medicine chute 65, and a pressure column 63 that can be pushed by the push rod 52. The medicine hopper 6 is installed in the box body 2 through the rotating shaft 62. The specific installation method can be achieved by using existing technology. The rotating shaft 62 can be connected to the box body shell 21, the medicine storage plate 4 or the partition plate 8 body or extension position. In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the corresponding position of the head end 41 of each medicine storage plate 4 is extended downward to connect with a mounting plate 66, and the two ends of the rotating shaft 62 of the medicine hopper 6 are respectively connected to the mounting plate 66 and the partition plate 8 corresponding to the mounting plate 66. Please also refer to Figure 1The medicine hopper 6 is roughly elliptical in shape, with two short cylinders extending outward on both sides, which together form the rotating shaft 62 of the medicine hopper 6. The medicine chute 65 is provided with a medicine outlet end 611, and the pressure column 63 is protruding from one side of the medicine outlet end 611. By rotating the key column 5, the push rod 52 can be respectively aligned with the pressure column 63 of the corresponding medicine hopper 6. The end of the medicine hopper 6 opposite the medicine outlet end 611 is provided with a mounting column 64 for mounting the second spring 61. The corresponding position of the medicine storage plate 4 extends downward to form a support column 43. When the push rod 52 pushes the pressure column 63 downward, the mounting column 64 and the second spring 61 will tilt upward due to the action of the rotating shaft 62. The free end of the second spring 61 will contact the support column 43 below the medicine storage plate 4, and rebound after being squeezed.

[0052] like Figure 10 As shown, the guide seat 7 further includes a boss 71 and three through holes 72. The boss 71 is disposed at the center of the bottom of the guide seat 7. One end of the first spring 51 is sleeved on the boss 71, and the bottom of the key column 5 is passed through the other end of the first spring 51. The three through holes 72 are symmetrically disposed at the bottom of the guide seat 7. The key column 5 can be rotated to a corresponding position. When pressed, the push rod 52 of the key column 5 can pass through the bottom surface of the guide seat 7 through one of the three through holes 72 and contact the corresponding pressure column 63 of the medicine hopper 6, thereby pushing the medicine hopper 6.

[0053] like Figure 1 、 3 As shown, the medicine box in this embodiment is also provided with a medicine box cover 11 made of materials such as silicone and plastic, and the medicine box cover 11 is sleeved on the guide seat 7. The medicine box cover 11 can be an integrated whole cover, and preferably a combination cover of three medicine box covers 11 that can be opened and closed independently, and the three medicine box covers 11 are matched with the medicine storage areas respectively. In order to make the alignment between the push rod 52 of the key column 5 and the pressure column 63 of the medicine hopper 6 easier, the upper surface of the key column 5 is also provided with a first mark 56, such as the triangle shown in the figure; the three medicine box covers 11 are respectively provided with three second marks 111, which can also be triangles. When the key column 5 is rotated so that the first mark 56 is aligned with one of the second marks 111, the push rod 52 of the key column 5 corresponds to the pressure column 63 of the corresponding medicine hopper 6. At this time, pressing the key column 5 can push the corresponding medicine hopper 6 to discharge the medicine.

[0054] like Figure 8-10As shown, the side of the key column 5 is also provided with a locking protrusion 53, and the inner side wall of the guide seat 7 is radially provided with three locking grooves 73 that can match the locking protrusion 53. When the key column 5 is rotated so that the locking protrusion 53 enters one of the locking grooves 73, the push rod 52 of the key column 5 corresponds to the pressure column 63 of the corresponding medicine dispensing hopper 6. At this time, pressing the key column 5 can also push the corresponding medicine dispensing hopper 6 to discharge medicine. The coordination between the locking protrusion 53 and the locking groove 73 will give the user a different feedback feel, making the alignment work simpler. Compared with the aforementioned method of aligning the first mark 56 and the second mark 111, this solution is particularly effective for scenes with poor lighting or users with poor eyesight. At the same time, the locking protrusion 53 moves up and down in the locking groove 73, which can provide a certain guiding function for the key column 5 to avoid displacement. In this embodiment, the medicine box 1 is provided with the first mark 56 and the second mark 111 for alignment, and the locking protrusion 53 cooperates with the locking groove 73, which makes it more convenient to use.

[0055] Specifically, please refer to Figure 10 The key column 5 has an opening on its side, and a resilient retaining plate 54 extends downward from the opening. The retaining protrusion 53 is formed on the retaining plate 54. The retaining groove 73 of the guide seat 7 is strip-shaped, and the retaining protrusion 53 can move up and down within the retaining groove 73. Providing the retaining protrusion 53 on the resilient retaining plate 54 makes it easier for the retaining protrusion 53 to enter the guide seat 7, and the resulting operating feel is also more obvious.

[0056] The guide seat 7 also includes three guide ribs 55. These ribs 55 are located on the inner side of the guide seat 7, corresponding to the positions below the retaining grooves 73. The space enclosed by these three guide ribs 55 matches the outer dimensions of the key column 5. When the key column 5 is inserted into the guide seat 7 and rotated to the position where the push rod 52 and the pressure column 63 correspond, the three guide ribs 55 simultaneously engage the main body of the key column 5 after pressing the key column 5, preventing the key column 5 from shaking and causing displacement.
