[0027] The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but the present invention is not limited by these embodiments. Modifying the specific implementation manners of the present invention or making equivalent replacements for some technical features without departing from the spirit of the present invention scheme shall all be covered within the scope of the technical solution claimed by the present invention.

[0028] As Figures 1-12 , a box capable of displaying the opening times includes an outer shell sleeve 1, an extraction box 2 and a transmission assembly 3. An indicating member 11 is provided on the outer shell sleeve 1. The transmission assembly 3 is between the outer shell sleeve 1 and the extraction box 2. The transmission assembly 3 includes a transmission member 4 and a rotating member 5. The transmission member 4 includes a power input portion 41 and a power output portion 42. The power input portion 41 is arranged at one end facing the extraction box 2. The transmission member 4 is driven to move by cooperating with the extraction box 2 through the power input portion 41. The power output portion 42 cooperates with the rotating member 5 to drive the rotating member 5 to rotate through the movement of the transmission member 4. The rotating member 5 is connected to the indicating member 11, and the rotation of the rotating member 5 drives the indicating member 11 to rotate.

[0029] The present invention provides a box capable of displaying the opening times. When the extraction box 2 is pulled outwards to be opened, the outward pulling of the extraction box 2 drives the transmission member 4 to move through the power input portion 41. When the transmission member 4 moves, the rotating member 5 is driven to rotate through the power output portion 42 thereon. Since the rotating member 5 is connected to the indicating member 11, the rotation of the rotating member 5 drives the indicating member 11 to rotate, so as to realize that when the extraction box 2 is pulled out, the indicating member 11 is driven to rotate. The number of times the box is opened or pulled out can be displayed or calculated through the rotational change of the indicating member 11, which is convenient for users.

[0030] An installation cavity 12 with a side-end opening is formed within the outer shell sleeve 1. The transmission assembly 3 and the cartridge 2 are disposed within the installation cavity 12. The power input portion 41 includes a first driving block 411 and a second driving block 412. The first driving block 411 and the second driving block 412 are formed by the transmission member 4 extending towards the cartridge 2. A driving space 413 is formed on the transmission member 4 and between the first driving block 411 and the second driving block 412. The rear wall 21 of the cartridge 2 extends from the installation cavity 12 into the driving space 413.

[0031] In this embodiment, the first driving block 411 is disposed at one end close to the opening, and the second driving block 412 is disposed at one end far from the opening. When the cartridge 2 is pulled outwards to be removed from the installation cavity 12, the rear wall 21 of the cartridge 2 pushes the first driving block 411 to pull the transmission member 4 outwards. When the cartridge 2 is pulled inwards to be received into the installation cavity 12, the rear wall of the cartridge 2 pushes the second driving block 412 to pull the transmission member 4 inwards, such that the movement of the cartridge 2 drives the transmission member 4 to move.

[0032] And in this embodiment, the moving direction of the transmission member 4 is the same as the moving direction of the cartridge 2, that is, the forward and backward movement of the cartridge 2 drives the transmission member 4 to move forward and backward.

[0033] The transmission member 4 includes a driving sleeve. An installation space 40 is formed within the driving sleeve. A first driving notch 43 is formed at the left end edge of the driving sleeve, and a second driving notch 44 is formed at the right end edge of the driving sleeve. The first driving notch 43 and the second driving notch 44 communicate the installation space 40 with the installation cavity 12. The power output portion 42 includes a first stepped portion 45 formed between the first driving notch 43 and the left end edge of the driving sleeve, and a second stepped portion 46 formed at the second driving notch 44 and the right end edge of the driving sleeve.

[0034] The rotating member 5 is disposed within the installation space 40 and can extend from the installation space 40 into the installation cavity 12 through the first driving notch 43 or the second driving notch 44.

[0035] In this embodiment, when the cartridge 2 moves forward to be removed from the installation cavity 12, it drives the transmission member 4 to move forward. The forward movement of the transmission member 4 drives the rotating member 5 to rotate through the second stepped portion 46 on the transmission member 4. When the cartridge 2 moves backward to be received into the installation cavity 12, it drives the transmission member 4 to move backward. The backward movement of the transmission member 4 drives the rotating member 5 to rotate through the first stepped portion 45 on the transmission member 4.

[0036] It further includes a connecting member 111. A sliding opening 47 is provided at the top of the driving sleeve. One end of the connecting member 111 is connected to the rotating member 5, and the other end of the connecting member passes through the sliding opening 47 and is connected to the indicating member 11.

[0037] The sliding opening 47 extends along the moving direction of the cartridge 2. The sliding opening 47 cooperates with the connecting member to limit the moving distance of the transmission member 4. When the transmission member 4 is pulled forward as the cartridge 2 moves forward, the connecting member abuts against the rear end wall of the sliding opening 47 to limit the further forward movement of the transmission member 4; when the transmission member 4 moves backward as the cartridge 2 is moved into the installation cavity 12, the connecting member abuts against the front end wall of the sliding opening 47 to limit the further backward movement of the transmission member 4.

[0038] In this embodiment, by the connecting member abutting against the rear end wall of the sliding opening 47 to limit the further forward movement of the transmission member 4, when the cartridge 2 is pulled forward out of the installation cavity 12, the transmission member 4 will not move out of the installation cavity 12, avoiding affecting the appearance and also avoiding the movement of the transmission member 4 from affecting the storage of the cartridge 2.

[0039] In this embodiment, a limiting block is further provided near the opening of the installation cavity 12. The limiting block is provided at the top of the installation cavity 12. By the limiting block abutting against the rear wall of the cartridge 2, the complete removal of the cartridge 2 from the installation cavity 12 is limited. That is, when the cartridge 2 is pulled out, the complete removal of the cartridge 2 from the installation cavity 12 can be limited by the limiting block, and by the connecting member 111 abutting against the rear wall of the sliding opening 47, the first driving block 411 can also limit the complete removal of the cartridge 2 from the installation cavity 12.

[0040] The top wall of the outer shell 1 includes a top upper layer and a top lower layer. A rotating space is formed between the top upper layer and the top lower layer. The indicating member 11 is disposed in the rotating space. A perspective window 14 is provided at the top upper layer, and a through hole 13 is provided at the top lower layer. The connecting member 111 passes through the sliding opening 47, the through hole 13 and is connected to the indicating member 11. The rotating member 5 is connected to the indicating member 11 through the connecting member 111 passing through the through hole 13, which can limit the movement of the indicating member 11 in the front and rear directions.

[0041] In this embodiment, the indicating member 11 and the connecting member are fixedly connected, which can be a pasting connection; the connecting member and the rotating member are fixedly connected, which can be a pasting connection.

[0042] In this embodiment, the connecting member can be a connecting block or the like.

[0043] In this embodiment, the indicating member 11 is an indicating needle.

[0044] In this embodiment, the rotating member 5 is fixedly connected to the indicating member 11, that is, the connecting member is fixedly connected to the rotating member 5, and the connecting member is fixedly connected to the indicating member 11. So that when the rotating member 5 rotates, it will drive the indicating member 11 to rotate.

[0045] In this embodiment, the radius of the perspective window 14 is greater than or equal to the radius of the indicating member 11.

[0046] In this embodiment, the connection between the rotating member 5 and the indicating member through the perforation also restricts the movement of the rotating member 5 in the front-rear direction (the direction of pulling out the drawer).

[0047] The rotating member 5 includes a central connection position 50, a first blade 51, a second blade 52, and a third blade 53. The first blade 51, the second blade 52, and the third blade 53 are respectively connected to the central connection position 50 and are evenly spaced along the circumferential direction of the central connection position 50.

[0048] In this embodiment, the first blade 51, the second blade 52, and the third blade 53 are bent counterclockwise from the end close to the central connection position 50 to the end far from the central connection position 50.

[0049] And the first blade 51, the second blade 52, and the third blade 53 can all extend from the installation space 40 to the installation cavity 12 through the first driving slot 43 or the second driving slot 44.

[0050] When the drawer 2 is received in the installation cavity 12, the first blade 51 extends from the second driving slot 44 into the installation cavity 12, and the second blade 52 and the third blade 53 are within the installation space 40 of the driving sleeve. When the drawer 2 is removed from the installation cavity 12, the rear wall of the drawer 2 drives the transmission member 4 to move forward through the first driving block 411. The forward movement of the transmission member 4 causes the second step portion 46 thereon to push the first blade 51, so that the rotating member 5 rotates. Since the rotating member 5 is fixedly connected to the indicating member 11, the rotation of the rotating member 5 will drive the indicating member 11 to rotate. And when the rotating portion rotates until the first blade 51 is received in the installation space 40, the second step portion 46 stops pushing the rotating member 5 to rotate, and the rotating member 5 and the indicating member 11 stop rotating. When the rear wall of the drawer 2 abuts against the limiting block, the further pulling out of the drawer 2 is restricted; and when the rotating portion rotates until the first blade 51 is received in the installation space 40, the second blade 52 extends from the first driving slot 43, and the third blade 53 extends toward the second driving slot 44 and from the second driving slot 44.

[0051] When the cartridge 2 is moved from outside the installation cavity 12 into the installation cavity 12, the rear wall of the cartridge 2 drives the transmission member 4 to move backward through the second driving block. The backward movement of the transmission member 4 causes the first step portion 45 thereon to push the second blade 52, causing the rotating member 5 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating member 5 causes the indicating member 11 to rotate. When the cartridge 2 is completely moved into the installation cavity 12, the connecting member abuts against the front wall of the sliding opening 47. The second blade 52 rotates and is received into the installation space 40, and the third blade 53 extends from the second driving notch 44 into the installation cavity 12, and the first blade 51 extends toward the first driving notch 43 and from the second driving notch 44.

[0052] In this embodiment, the first blade 51, the second blade 52 and the third blade 53 are provided, and the first blade 51, the second blade 52 and the third blade 53 are evenly spaced axially. That is, when the cartridge 2 is pulled out and retracted once, the indicating needle will rotate 120°. When the cartridge 2 is pulled out and retracted three times, the indicating needle will complete one full rotation. Conventional medications are generally taken three times a day. By opening and closing the box and when the indicating needle thereon changes, it can remind the user whether the medication for the day is completed. And by marking the number of times at the indicating window, it can remind the user of the number of times of medication completion for the day. That is, mark "the 0th time" at the 0° position, "the first time" at the 120° position; mark "the second time" at the 240° position, and when it returns to the "0th time" at the 360° position, the medication for one day is completed.

[0053] The above preferred implementation manners should be regarded as illustrative examples of the implementation manners of the application solution of the present application. Any technical deductions, substitutions, improvements, etc. that are identical, similar to or based on the application solution of the present application should be regarded as the protection scope of this patent.
