Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of intelligent medicine boxes, and more particularly to an intelligent medicine box and a medicine box management system. Background Art

[0002] Today's society is gradually entering an aging era, and more and more elderly people need to take medicine every day for their own health problems. As age increases, brain cells atrophy, and brain nerve function and vision gradually decline, some elderly people often miss or take the wrong medicine, so that the medicine they take often fails to achieve the desired therapeutic effect, which is exactly what their children are more concerned about. In order to avoid missing or taking the wrong medicine as much as possible, most children who cannot accompany their parents for a long time will purchase smart medicine boxes with reminder functions for the elderly, hoping to use smart medicine boxes to remind the elderly to take the correct medicine on time.

[0003] Chinese patent CN107982051A discloses a smart medicine box, which includes a box cover; a box body, including an isolation chamber and a medicine storage chamber, wherein the medicine storage chamber is combined with the box cover to form a closable cavity, a rotating mechanism for driving the medicine storage chamber to rotate is arranged inside the closable cavity, and a movable lining bracket is arranged on the side of the closable cavity, and the isolation chamber is used to accommodate a control system, and the control system includes a detection unit, which is used to detect whether there is a movable person passing through the smart medicine box in the current space within the detection time according to a detection instruction; and form a detection result output; a voice prompt unit, which is used to issue a voice prompt according to a prompt instruction when the detection result is that there is a movable person passing through the smart medicine box in the current space. This patent has multiple medicine storage chambers, and the user can put multiple days of medicine into different medicine storage chambers according to different taking times, and set a timed reminder. Every time it is time to take medicine, the smart medicine box will issue a voice reminder to remind the elderly to take all the medicines in the medicine storage chamber on time. The patent simply designs the structure of the smart medicine box from the perspective of realizing the function of timely reminder, requiring the user to open the designated medicine storage room to take out the medicine according to the medication reminder. However, some elderly people with diseases such as glaucoma and cataracts often cannot open the correct medicine storage room due to their limited vision.

[0004] Chinese patent CN112027337A discloses another intelligent medicine box, which controls the movement of the rotating cover opening unit, the first partition, the second partition, the push plate, the push rod, the soft conduit and the eccentric cam structure through a control module, so that the medicines stored in the medicine storage unit can pass through the transition bin, the sorting bin and the medicine outlet in sequence according to the needs and fall into the corresponding soft conduit, and then the medicines are taken out through the cooperation of the eccentric cam structure and the valve stem. This patent can achieve the timed and quantitative dispensing of medicines, which is more friendly to some elderly people with limited vision. However, this patent has a complex structure and a large size. It is only suitable for use in fixed places such as hospitals and residences, and is not convenient to carry with you. Even if these elderly people with limited vision want to go out alone for a short period of time, they will not be able to travel because the patent is inconvenient to carry.

[0005] Therefore, developing a smart medicine box suitable for elderly people with limited vision to use when they go out alone for a short period of time is of great significance for improving the quality of life of elderly people with limited vision. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an intelligent medicine box and medicine box management system, which controls the sliding of the medicine storage box so that the elderly can open the correct medicine compartment and take out the medicine by touch when hearing the voice reminder. The present invention is small in size and easy to carry, which can meet the needs of the elderly with limited vision to go out alone for a short period of time, and improve the quality of life of the elderly with limited vision.

They do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0044] Example

[0045] The structure of the medicine box and the medicine box management system of the present invention are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the specification.

[0046] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the basic structure of the smart medicine box in a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 1, a medicine storage box 2, a limit assembly 3, a sensor 4, an electronic control device and a voice module.

[0047] The medicine storage box 2 includes a strip box body 21 and a plurality of partitions 22 . A medicine leakage opening is opened on the bottom surface of the strip box body 21 . The plurality of partitions 22 are fixed in the strip box body 21 to divide the space inside the strip box body 21 into a plurality of medicine grids. All the medicine grids are arranged along the length direction of the strip box body 21 .

[0048] A plurality of parallel strip chambers are arranged in the shell 1, one of which is a control chamber 12 for accommodating the electronic control device, and the remaining strip chambers are all medicine storage chambers 11; a medicine storage box 2 is arranged in each medicine storage chamber 11, and the medicine storage box 2 can slide along the length direction of the medicine storage chamber 11, and a medicine outlet for sliding out the medicine storage box 2 is opened at the end of each medicine storage chamber 11; a strip opening for exposing the medicine storage box 2 is opened on the chamber wall of each medicine storage chamber 11 on the side away from the control chamber 12, and the length direction of the strip opening is parallel to the sliding direction of the medicine storage box 2.

[0049] Each medicine storage bin 11 is equipped with a sensor 4 and a limit assembly 3 on one side near the medicine leakage port. The sensor 4 is used to sense the position of the medicine compartment, and the limit assembly 3 is used to block the strip box body 21 or the partition 22 near the medicine outlet from moving outward under the control of the electronic control device; all limit assemblies 3, all sensors 4 and the voice module are electrically connected to the electronic control device. When it is not time to take medicine, all limit assemblies 3 are blocked by default on the side of the corresponding strip box body 21 near the medicine outlet; when taking medicine, the electronic control device will temporarily terminate the control of the limit assembly 3 corresponding to the designated medicine storage bin 11, so that the elderly can slide the medicine storage box 2 to take medicine.

[0050] Specifically, this embodiment further includes a touch button, which is mounted on the outside of the housing 1 and is electrically connected to the electronic control device. When the elderly person finishes taking medicine, he presses the touch button, and the electronic control device receives a medicine taking completion instruction.

[0051] Specifically, the electronic control device is provided with a clock module, a storage module and a battery, and a charging port is provided on the housing 1. The user can connect the external power supply and the charging port through a data cable to charge the battery in the electronic control device.

[0052] Specifically, the sensor 4 is a photoelectric sensor 4, which is installed on the side of the limit component 3 away from the medicine outlet. Every time the light emitted by the photoelectric sensor 4 is blocked by the strip box body 21 or the partition 22, an electrical signal is sent to the electronic control device. Taking a single medicine storage bin 11 as an example, when taking medicine, the electronic control device determines the number of medicine grids exposed from the medicine outlet according to the number of electrical signals received, and then determines whether the designated medicine grid is exposed from the medicine outlet. If the designated medicine grid extends out of the medicine outlet, the electronic control device will immediately control the limit component 3 to insert into the medicine grid to prevent the subsequent medicine grids from continuing to move outward. When the electronic control device receives the instruction to complete the medicine taking, the electronic control device temporarily terminates the control of the limit component 3. When the electronic control device determines that the medicine storage box 2 has completely slid into the medicine storage bin 11 according to the received electrical signal, the electronic control device re-controls the limit component 3 so that the limit component 3 is blocked on the side of the strip box body 21 close to the medicine outlet to prevent the medicine storage box 2 from sliding out of the medicine storage bin 11.

[0053] Before use, children put the medicines into the medicine storage box 2 in the order of taking them, starting from the medicine grid near the medicine outlet. When the medication time comes, the electronic control device will control the voice module to issue a voice reminder. When the elderly hear the voice reminder, they can find the bar opening by touch, and keep the bar opening downward to prevent the medicine from falling out. Then slide the medicine storage box 2 until the sliding of the medicine storage box 2 is blocked, so that the medicine grid for storing medicines can be exposed, and the medicine can be poured into the palm of the hand. After taking the medicine, push the medicine storage box 2 in the opposite direction. This embodiment is more friendly to the elderly with limited vision, can help the elderly with limited vision to get the correct medicine, and is small in size and easy to carry, can meet the needs of the elderly with limited vision to go out alone for a short period of time, and improve the quality of life of the elderly with limited vision. And because when taking medicine, only the medicine storage box 2 corresponding to the time at that time can be pushed, the possibility of the elderly taking the medicine in the wrong medicine grid is avoided.

[0054] Specifically, the medicine storage box 2 also includes multiple groups of connectors 23 arranged along the length direction of the strip box body 21 and fixed on the inner side of the strip box body 21, with two connectors 23 in each group; the two connectors 23 in the same group are symmetrically fixed on the two inner side walls of the strip box body 21, and the two connectors 23 in the same group are close to each other. Two plug-in slots for plugging in the partition 22 are respectively opened; each partition 22 corresponds to a group of connectors 23, and the two sides of each partition 22 are respectively embedded in the corresponding two plug-in slots. In this embodiment, the partition 22 is set as a detachable structure, which is convenient for children to disassemble and assemble the partition 22 according to the single dose of the elderly, change the size of the medicine grid, and make full use of the space in the medicine storage box 2.

[0055] Specifically, the medicine storage box 2 also includes a conductive strip 25 and a wire, and the wire is connected to a resistor. A wire is buried in each partition 22, and the two ends of the wire are exposed from the two sides of the partition 22 close to the strip box body 21; two conductive strips 25 are provided, and the two conductive strips 25 are respectively fixed on the parallel side walls of the strip box body 21, and the two conductive strips 25 are electrically connected to the electric control device; when the partition 22 is plugged together with a group of plug-in components 23, the two ends of the wire corresponding to the partition 22 are respectively in contact with the two conductive strips 25. The two conductive strips 25 are respectively connected to the positive and negative poles of the electric control device, so that the two conductive strips 25, the plurality of wires and the electric control device form a parallel circuit. The electric control device determines the number of partitions 22 installed in the medicine storage box 2 according to the resistance value of the parallel circuit, and then obtains the number of medicine grids in the medicine storage box 2. As long as the present embodiment is powered on, the number of medicine grids in each medicine storage box 2 is automatically transmitted to the electric control device, and the children do not need to enter the electric control device by themselves.

[0056] Specifically, in this embodiment, all medicine storage boxes 2 and shells 1 are insulating medicine storage boxes and insulating shells.

[0057] like Figure 5 As shown, all the drug storage bins 11 are arranged around the control bin 12, so that the electric control device can be electrically connected to the components corresponding to each drug storage bin 11. In this embodiment, two drug storage bins 11 are provided. Each limit assembly 3 includes a stopper 31, an elastic member 32 and an electromagnet 33. The elastic member 32 is fixed in the control bin 12 and fixedly connected to the stopper 31; the stopper 31 passes through the wall between its corresponding drug storage bin 11 and the control bin 12, and can slide into or out of its corresponding drug storage bin 11 under the guidance of the wall. The stopper 31 can be inserted into the drug storage bin 11. Two inclined surfaces are provided on one side of the drug storage bin 11. The inclined surface close to the drug outlet and the inclined surface away from the drug outlet are both inclined in the direction close to the control bin 12, and the two inclined surfaces are always located on the side of the corresponding drug storage box 2 close to the control bin 12. The electromagnet 33 is fixed in the control bin 12 and can be adsorbed together with the stopper 31; the electromagnet 33 is electrically connected to the electric control device. When the medicine storage box 2 slides through the blocking body 31, the bottom edge of the medicine storage box 2 will abut against any inclined surface of the blocking body 31. Under the guidance of the inclined surface, the blocking body 31 will be pressed to slide into the control chamber 12 to avoid interfering with the sliding of the medicine storage box 2. At this time, the elastic member 32 is in a compressed state. When the blocking body 31 is not under pressure, the elastic member 32 rebounds and pushes the blocking body 31 back to the medicine storage chamber 11. When the blocking body 31 needs to prevent the medicine storage box 2 from sliding, the electric control device will control the electromagnet 33 to be energized when the blocking body 31 is not under pressure, so that the electromagnet 33 has magnetism and is adsorbed together with the blocking body 31 to fix the position of the blocking body 31, so that it stays in the control chamber 12 to prevent the medicine storage box 2 from sliding.

[0058] Specifically, in this embodiment, the elastic member 32 is a spring.

[0059] In this embodiment, two electromagnets 33 are provided in each limiting assembly 3 , and the two electromagnets 33 are respectively located on two sides of the blocking body 31 that are away from each other.

[0060] Specifically, a medicine outlet opening connected to all medicine compartments is provided on one side of the strip box body 21 near the strip opening, and the medicine storage box 2 further comprises a cover 24, which is hinged to the strip box body 21, and can cover the medicine outlet opening and can also extend from the strip opening; the cover 24 can be fixed to the strip box body 21. In this embodiment, a buckle is provided on one side of the cover 24 near the strip box body 21, and when the cover 24 covers the medicine outlet opening, the buckle is snapped at the medicine outlet opening of the strip box body 21, and the cover 24 is fixed to the strip box body 21. The provision of the medicine outlet opening and the cover 24 allows children to put medicines into different medicine compartments without having to pull the medicine storage box 2 out of the medicine storage bin 11.

[0061] Specifically, in this embodiment, the medicine compartment at the end of each medicine storage box 2 is used to store emergency medicines, and the medicine compartment corresponds to a cover 24 of a different color, so that when the elderly have an emergency disease, people around the elderly can quickly find emergency medicines.

[0062] Specifically, the present embodiment further includes a bin cover 6, each medicine storage bin 11 corresponds to a bin cover 6, each bin cover 6 is hinged on the shell 1 and can cover the corresponding strip opening. The present embodiment also includes an electromagnetic assembly, each bin cover 6 corresponds to an electromagnetic assembly. The electromagnetic assembly includes an electromagnetic lock and an electromagnetic seat, all electromagnetic locks are respectively fixed on their corresponding bin covers 6 and are electrically connected to the electric control device, and all electromagnetic seats are respectively fixed at the corresponding strip openings on the shell 1. During the non-medication period, all electromagnetic locks are energized and adsorbed together with their corresponding electromagnetic seats, fixing all bin covers 6 at their corresponding strip openings. During the medication period, the electromagnetic locks at the corresponding strip openings are not energized to facilitate the elderly to open the bin cover 6. The provision of the bin cover 6 and the electromagnetic assembly reduces the situation where the elderly accidentally touch the cover 24 on the wrong medicine storage box 2 when taking medicine, and reduces the possibility of medicine spilling.

[0063] This embodiment also includes a vibration module, each medicine storage bin 11 corresponds to a vibration module, each vibration module is installed on the bin cover 6 of its corresponding medicine storage bin 11, and all vibration modules are electrically connected to the electronic control device. When it is time to take medicine, the vibration module corresponding to the medicine storage bin 11 vibrates to remind the elderly to open the correct bin cover 6.

When the system determines that the set reminder time has been reached, the smart medicine box will give a light reminder, sound reminder, or vibration reminder according to the user's settings. The medication information will also be uploaded to the cloud server through the mobile phone. Even if the elderly do not find the reminder of the smart medicine box for some reason, the mobile phone will receive the voice reminder information pushed from the cloud server.

[0069] The management software is designed with a virtual medicine warehouse function. Children can directly create different numbers of virtual medicine warehouses in the applet, and then enter drug information and set up medication plans for each virtual medicine warehouse. This information will also be synchronized to the cloud server, and medication reminder information will be automatically pushed to the elderly through the mobile phone. This allows the elderly to carry gaseous and liquid medicines that are easy to take with them.

[0070] The management software will upload all medication information set by children to the cloud server, and record the actual medication situation of the elderly. It will automatically analyze the elderly's medication compliance, missed medication rate, delay rate, etc. Children can check the elderly's medication situation over a period of time on the mini program at any time, which also facilitates doctors to make accurate follow-up visits based on the medication situation.

[0071] The medicine box search function is set in the management software. When the mobile phone and the smart medicine box are connected by Bluetooth, the child operates the search command in the applet, and the applet will send the command to the smart medicine box via Bluetooth. When the smart medicine box Bluetooth module receives the specific command, it will respond and drive the breathing light, voice module and vibration module to work, so as to quickly find the smart medicine box.

[0072] The management software provides a drug information database where users can query drug information, manufacturer information, indications, contraindications, etc., to facilitate understanding of drugs and correct use of drugs.

[0073] In summary, this embodiment is more friendly to the elderly with limited vision. When the elderly hear the voice reminder, they can find the strip opening by touch. Keeping the strip opening downward can prevent the medicine from falling out, and then slide the medicine storage box 2 until the sliding of the medicine storage box 2 is blocked, so that the medicine compartment for storing medicines can be exposed, and the medicine can be poured into the palm of the hand. This embodiment is small in size and easy to carry, which can meet the needs of the elderly with limited vision to go out alone for a short period of time, and improve the quality of life of the elderly with limited vision. In addition, this embodiment sets the partition 22 as a detachable structure, which is convenient for children to disassemble and assemble the partition 22 according to the single dose of the elderly, change the size of the medicine compartment, and make full use of the space in the medicine storage box 2. Finally, this embodiment forms a parallel circuit through two conductive strips 25, multiple wires and an electric control device. According to the resistance value of the parallel circuit, the electric control device can automatically obtain the number of medicine compartments in the medicine storage box 2.
