Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medicine bottles, and more specifically to a medicine bottle with an integrated detachable medicine box. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, standard medicine bottles generally consist of a bottle body and a cap to cover the bottle body; the bottle body is used to hold unpackaged or individually packaged medicines or nutritional supplements. However, if the bottle body is used to hold unpackaged medicines or nutritional supplements, it is often inconvenient for consumers to carry small doses of medicines or nutritional supplements when going out.

[0003] To address these issues, some consumers have opted to carry small doses of medication or supplements in their own pillboxes. However, due to the small size of these pillboxes and their inability to be securely attached to the bottle, they are prone to loss during storage, hindering reuse and resulting in resource waste. Furthermore, sustained-release medications require protection from impacts during storage to prevent damage that could affect their efficacy. Existing pillboxes, however, cannot properly position sustained-release medications and are only suitable for storing regular medications (those whose efficacy is not affected by impacts during storage). This limits their applicability and makes them unsuitable for sustained-release medications. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0028] like Figure 1-8 As shown, a medicine bottle integrating a detachable medicine box includes a bottle body 10, a bottle cap 20, and a medicine box 30; the bottle cap 20 is used to cover the bottle body 10; the medicine box 30 includes a box body 40 and a box cap 50; the bottle cap 20 is provided with a mounting groove 21 for the box body 40 to be embedded, and a locking core 22 is provided on the groove wall of the mounting groove 21; the box body 40 is provided with a locking groove 41, the locking groove 41 including an inlet / outlet groove section 42 and an insert groove section 43; the insert groove section 43 extends along the circumference of the box body 40 and is for the locking core 22 to be embedded; the inlet / outlet groove section 42 extends along the circumference of the box body 40 and is for the locking core 22 to be embedded. The upper end of 2 is connected to the embedded groove section 43, and the lower end of the inlet / outlet groove section 42 penetrates the bottom of the box body 40; the inlet / outlet groove section 42 is used for the locking core 22 to enter and exit; the box cover 50 is detachably connected to the box body 40, and the box cover 50 and the box body 40 form a receiving cavity 31; the box body 40 has an adjustment part 44 for adjusting the volume of the receiving cavity 31; the box cover 50 is provided with a support member 60 and a flexible abutment member 70; the support member 60 is used to abut the adjustment part 44; the flexible abutment member 70 is used to position the medicine on the adjustment part 44.

[0029] When carrying small doses of medicine 5 or nutritional supplements, the medicine box 30 can be rotated in the opposite direction to the bottle cap 20 so that the locking groove 41 can rotate with the medicine box 30 relative to the locking core 22, allowing the locking core 22 to move from the embedded groove section 43 into the inlet / outlet groove section 42. Then, the medicine box 30 can be lifted upwards to move the locking core 22 out of the inlet / outlet groove section 42, thus making it easy to remove the medicine box 30 from the bottle cap 20. With the help of the medicine box 30, consumers can easily carry small doses of medicine or nutritional supplements when going out, making it convenient and flexible to use. During storage, the inlet / outlet groove 42 of the medicine box 30 is aligned with the locking core 22 of the bottle cap 20. The medicine box 30 is then placed on the bottle cap 20, allowing the locking core 22 to enter the inlet / outlet groove 42. The medicine box 30 is then rotated clockwise, causing the locking groove 41 to rotate relative to the locking core 22. This allows the locking core 22 to move from the inlet / outlet groove 42 into the fitting groove 43, facilitating the fixation of the medicine box 30 to the bottle cap 20. This reduces the likelihood of the small medicine box 30 being lost during storage and is beneficial for the medicine box's stability. The storage and reuse of medicine box 30 improves its utilization rate and promotes sustainable development. Moreover, by providing a support component 60 and a flexible abutment component 70 on the lid 50, the flexible abutment component 70 can be used to position the medicine on the adjustment part 44, preventing the slow-release medicine from shifting or colliding and causing damage. Therefore, the medicine box 30 is suitable not only for storing ordinary medicines and nutritional products, but also for storing slow-release medicines, so that it can be used for storing more medicines and expand its scope of application.

[0030] Preferably, the lower end of the inlet / outlet section 42 and the end of the embedded section 43 away from the inlet / outlet section 42 are staggered in the circumferential direction of the box body 40.

[0031] The width of the lower end of the inlet / outlet section 42 is greater than the width of the upper end of the inlet / outlet section 42. This arrangement facilitates the locking core 22 to enter or exit the inlet / outlet section 42 from its lower end.

[0032] At least two locking cores 22 are arranged circumferentially on the wall of the mounting groove 21, and at least two locking slots 41 are provided on the box body 40, each corresponding to one of the at least two locking cores 22 and for the corresponding locking cores 22 to be embedded. By adopting the above structure, and by making the at least two locking cores 22 embedded in the at least two locking slots 41 respectively, the firmness of the medicine box 30 locking to the bottle cap 20 can be improved.

[0033] The bottle cap 20 is threaded onto the bottle body 10. In use, the bottle cap 20 can be unscrewed from the bottle body 10 by rotating it in the forward direction, while it can be easily screwed onto the bottle body 10 by rotating it in the reverse direction, thus facilitating the opening and closing of the bottle cap 20.

[0034] The lid 50 is threaded onto the body 40. In use, the lid 50 can be unscrewed from the body 40 by rotating it in the forward direction, and can be screwed onto the body 40 by rotating it in the reverse direction, thus facilitating the opening and closing of the lid 50.

[0035] The mounting groove 21 is located on the top of the bottle cap 20 and extends through the top surface of the bottle cap 20. This design facilitates the fabrication of the mounting groove 21.

[0036] From the edge of the top surface of the bottle cap 20 to the edge of the mounting groove 21, the top surface of the bottle cap 20 gradually slopes downward. Specifically, the mounting groove 21 is located at the center of the top of the cap. This structure facilitates the stability of the medicine box 30 during installation.

[0037] The bottle cap 20 has a first rounded corner 23, a second rounded corner 24, a third rounded corner 25, and a fourth rounded corner 26; the first rounded corner 23, the second rounded corner 24, the third rounded corner 25, and the fourth rounded corner 26 are arranged around the mounting groove 21. The first rounded corner 23, the second rounded corner 24, the third rounded corner 25, and the fourth rounded corner 26 are sequentially arranged on the bottle cap 20. The distance between the first rounded corner 23 and the mounting groove 21 is greater than the distance between the second rounded corner 24 and the mounting groove 21; the distance between the second rounded corner 24 and the mounting groove 21 is greater than the distance between the third rounded corner 25 and the mounting groove 21; the distance between the third rounded corner 25 and the mounting groove 21 is greater than the distance between the fourth rounded corner 26 and the mounting groove 21. By adopting the above structure, when opening and closing the bottle cap 20, users of different ages can easily hold the bottle cap 20 from different positions according to their hand size, making it easier to open and close the bottle cap 20. In addition, it can also distinguish it from other products, highlighting its appearance and improving its recognizability.

[0038] Preferably, the bottle body 10 is provided with four rounded corners corresponding to the first rounded corner 23, the second rounded corner 24, the third rounded corner 25, and the fourth rounded corner 26, so that the shape of the bottle body 10 matches the shape of the bottle cap 20.

[0039] Preferably, the adjusting part 44 is an elastic bottom shell disposed at the bottom of the box body 40, and is adapted to switch between an upwardly convex state and a downwardly convex state. The supporting member 60 includes a support rod that is vertically mounted on the box cover 50 and can be raised and lowered between an upper position and a lower position. When the support rod is in the upper position, it abuts against the elastic bottom shell in the upwardly convex state. When the support rod is in the lower position, it abuts against the elastic bottom shell in the downwardly convex state. The flexible abutting member 70 is vertically mounted on the box cover 50. When the elastic bottom shell is in the upwardly convex state, the flexible abutting member 70 is used to position the medicine on the adjusting part 44. When storing medicines containing sustained-release drugs, first raise the support rod to the upper position and lower the flexible abutment component 70. Simultaneously, press the elastic bottom shell upward to make it bulge upward in an upward convex state. Then, the box cover 50 is detachably connected to the box body 40, and the volume of the receiving cavity 31 can be reduced. At this time, the support rod abuts against the elastic bottom shell, and the flexible abutment component 70 is lowered to position the sustained-release drug on the elastic bottom shell. When storing only ordinary medicines or health products, press the elastic bottom shell downward to make it bulge downward in a downward convex state to increase the volume of the receiving cavity 31, thereby increasing the storage capacity of ordinary medicines or health products. By raising the flexible abutment component 70 and lowering the support rod to the lower position, the support rod abuts against the elastic bottom shell, and the abutting action of the support rod prevents the elastic bottom shell from elastically returning to the upward convex state under external force.

[0040] The flexible abutment component 70 includes a silicone pad 72 for abutting against the medicine. Using a food-grade silicone pad 72 is the most preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0041] The flexible abutment component 70 also includes a support base 71, and the silicone pad 72 is disposed below the support base 71. Preferably, the lid 50 is also provided with a linkage component 80, which is used to cause the support rod and the support base 71 to move in opposite directions. That is, when the linkage component 80 drives the support rod to rise towards the upper position, the support base 71 is driven down by the linkage component 80. So that when the elastic bottom shell is in the convex state, the linkage component 80 can cause the support rod to rise to the upper position and abut against the elastic bottom shell. The linkage component 80 can also cause the flexible abutment component 70 to descend so that the sustained-release drug is positioned on the elastic bottom shell by the flexible abutment component 70. When the linkage component 80 drives the support rod to descend toward the lower position, the support base 71 rises under the driving action of the linkage component 80. When the elastic bottom shell is in a convex state, the linkage component 80 can cause the support rod to descend to the lower position so that the support rod can abut against the elastic bottom shell, and cause the flexible abutment component 70 to rise, thereby increasing the volume of the receiving cavity 31.

[0042] The linkage component 80 includes a threaded adjusting cylinder rotatably mounted on the cover 50. The outer side of the threaded adjusting cylinder is provided with a first mating thread 81, and the inner side of the threaded adjusting cylinder is provided with a second mating thread 82. The thread direction of the second mating thread 82 is opposite to that of the first mating thread 81. The support base 71 is vertically mounted on the cover 50 and forms a threaded engagement with the first mating thread 81. The support rod is vertically mounted on the cover 50 and forms a threaded engagement with the second mating thread 82. By adopting the above configuration, the threaded adjusting cylinder can cause the support rod and the support base 71 to move in opposite directions, while also facilitating installation.

[0043] Of course, in addition to the above, the linkage component 80 is not limited to a threaded adjusting cylinder; it can also be a gear and two racks meshing with the gear, with the two racks respectively mounted on the support rod and the support base 71. However, using a threaded adjusting cylinder for the linkage component 80 is the most preferred embodiment of the present invention, as it facilitates installation and reduces manufacturing costs.

[0044] Preferably, the cover 50 is provided with a guide rod 83 located inside the threaded adjusting cylinder, and the support rod is movably fitted onto the guide rod 83. The cross-section of the guide rod 83 is rectangular. The support rod is provided with a rectangular cavity for the guide rod 83 to be movably inserted and matching the shape of the guide rod 83. By means of the guide rod 83, the lifting and lowering of the support rod can be guided, and it is convenient to manufacture.

[0045] The cover 50 may be provided with a mating rod, and the support base 71 may be provided with a mating hole for the mating rod to pass through, which can also guide the lifting and lowering of the support base 71. Of course, in addition, the cover 50 may be provided with a groove, and the support base 71 may be provided with a protrusion that is embedded in the groove. By means of the cooperation between the groove and the protrusion, the lifting and lowering of the support base 71 can also be guided.

[0046] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
