[0037] Specifically, the control module 2 is integrated with a display screen 21 , control buttons 22 and a network communication module.

[0038] In this embodiment, the network communication module includes a 4G module and a WIFI module for establishing communication with the outside. The 4G module is an existing microwave radio frequency transceiver, and its specific model is WP7504-1G_1103669. The WIFI module is an existing WIFI chip, and its specific model is NINA-W151-03B. Through the network communication module, on the one hand, the device can establish network communication with contacts (children) through the 4G module and the WIFI module, and send information about the elderly taking medicine (taking medicine or not). On the other hand, external contacts (children) can remotely check the status of the elderly taking medicine through the 4G module and the WIFI module.

[0039] The display screen 21 can display and preset the elderly person's information, such as the user's name, blood type, medical history, medications currently taken, machine equipment code, etc., and the device can be controlled by the control button 22.

[0040] Specifically, an audio module 8 is disposed on the upper surface of the medicine box housing 1 , and the audio module 8 is electrically connected to the control module 2 .

[0041] In this embodiment, the audio module 8 uses a loud speaker to broadcast a preset reminder voice to remind the elderly to take medicine.

[0042] Specifically, the battery assembly 5 includes a charge-discharge battery 51 installed in the lower cavity 13 and a magnetic charging port 52 installed on the side wall of the medicine box shell 1.

[0045] Example 2

[0046] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , is a structural diagram of an intelligent reminder medicine box of this embodiment, which aims to solve the problem that the elderly are prone to forgetting to take or missing medicines. Based on Example 1, this embodiment provides a further solution of the medicine box module 6. The specific structure of the medicine box module 6 in this embodiment will be described in detail below.

[0047] The medicine cartridge module 6 includes a medicine cartridge tube 61 .

[0048] Among them, a medicine holding support tube 62 is slidably arranged in the medicine box tube 61, an inverted trapezoidal support platform 63 is arranged at the bottom of the medicine holding support tube 62, and a through hole 64 matching with the support platform 63 is opened at the bottom of the medicine box tube 61; the medicine holding tube 7 is embedded in the medicine holding support tube 62.

[0049] In this embodiment, the medicine supporting tube 62 can slide up and down in the medicine box tube 61. When sliding upward, the medicine holding tube 7 can be lifted upward by the medicine holding tube 62 so that the medicine holding tube 7 extends out from the medicine holding tube 62 to remind the elderly to take medicine and prevent the elderly from forgetting to take or missing medicine.

[0050] When sliding downward, the inverted trapezoidal support platform 63 at the bottom of the medicine supporting tube 62 can be embedded in the bottom of the medicine box tube 61.

[0051] Specifically, a gravity sensor 65 is arranged at the middle position of the bottom of the medicine holding support cylinder 62. The gravity sensor 65 is electrically connected to the control module 2. The diameter of the medicine holding support cylinder 62 is larger than the diameter of the medicine holding cylinder 7. When the medicine holding cylinder 7 is embedded in the medicine holding support cylinder 62, the gravity sensor 65 monitors the gravity of the medicine holding cylinder 7. When the gravity detected by the gravity sensor 65 is larger than the gravity of the medicine holding cylinder 7 itself, it is considered that the pills have not been taken. When the gravity detected by the gravity sensor 65 is no gravity, it is considered that the elderly person has taken away the medicine holding cylinder 7 and has taken the pills, thereby sending the monitoring information to the control module 2.

[0052] Specifically, a plurality of LED lamp beads 66 are evenly arranged around the gravity sensor 65, and the plurality of LED lamp beads 66 are electrically connected to the control module 2. The inner walls of the medicine box tube 61 and the medicine container 7 are both provided with a black coating, and the control module 2 can control the opening of the plurality of LED lamp beads 66, and the inner walls of the medicine box tube 61 and the medicine container 7 are both provided with a black coating to ensure that the plurality of LED lamp beads 66 only illuminate the medicine container 7 in a single medicine box module 6.

[0053] Specifically, a slide groove 67 is opened on the inner wall of the medicine box tube 61, and a slider 68 whose position and number match the slide groove 67 is arranged on the outer circumference of the top opening of the medicine holding support tube 62. The slider 68 is embedded in the slide groove 67, and the slider 68 is connected to the bottom of the slide groove 67 through an elastic member 69.

[0054] In this embodiment, when the translational lifting device 4 pushes the support platform 63 at the bottom of the medicine supporting tube 62, the medicine supporting tube 62 slides in the medicine box tube 61. The elastic member 69 is a spring. Initially, the spring is in a normal state. When lifting, the translational lifting device 4 overcomes the elastic potential energy of the spring and pushes the medicine supporting tube 62 up. After lifting, the translational lifting device 4 returns to the initial position, and the medicine supporting tube 62 slides down under the elastic potential energy of the spring and returns to the initial state.

[0055] Example 3

[0056] refer to Figure 5 , is a schematic diagram of the structure of the translation and lifting device 4 of this embodiment, and its purpose is to solve the problem of lifting the medicine box tube with the corresponding date. Based on Example 1, this embodiment provides a further solution of the translation and lifting device 4. The specific structure of the translation and lifting device 4 in this embodiment will be described in detail below.

[0057] The translation lifting device 4 includes two first support plates 401 installed on the middle cavity 12, and first ball screws 402 are arranged at both ends of the two first support plates 401 through the bearing seats, and pulleys 403 are respectively arranged at the ends of the two first ball screws 402 passing through the bearing seats, and the two pulleys 403 are rotatably connected by belts, and a first servo motor 404 is arranged at the end of one of the first ball screws 402;

[0058] A second support plate 406 is arranged between the first screw nuts 405 on the two first ball screws 402, and second ball screws 407 are arranged at both ends of the second support plate 406 through the bearing seat, and slide rails 408 are arranged on both sides of the second ball screw 407, and sliding support plates 409 are slidably arranged on the two slide rails 408, and the sliding support plates 409 are connected to the second screw nuts 410 on the second ball screws 407; a second servo motor 411 is arranged at one end of the second ball screw 407;

[0059] An electric push rod 412 is disposed on the sliding support plate 409 . The electric push rod 412 , the first servo motor 404 and the second servo motor 411 are all electrically connected to the control module 2 .

[0060] In this embodiment, the translation lifting device 4 can enable the sliding support plate 409 to drive the electric push rod 412 to move horizontally and vertically to match the support platform 63 at the bottom of each medicine support cylinder 62, and then push the medicine support cylinder 62 through the electric push rod 412 to push out the medicine cylinder 7.

[0061] Initially, the sliding support plate 409 is located in the middle position of the translation and lifting device 4. When it is necessary to push out the medicine barrel 7, the control module 2 controls the first servo motor 404 to drive the two first ball screws 402 to rotate, thereby driving the second support plate 406 to perform vertical displacement through the first screw nut 405. Then, the control module 2 controls the second servo motor 411 to drive the second ball screw 407 to rotate, and drives the sliding support plate 409 to perform horizontal displacement through the second screw nut 410, thereby reaching the corresponding position node under each medicine box module 6. Then, the control module 2 controls the telescopic rod of the electric push rod 412 to extend upward, lift the support platform 63 at the bottom of the medicine supporting tube 62 in the medicine box tube 61, and make the medicine supporting tube 62 slide upward in the medicine box tube 61, thereby pushing the medicine barrel 7 in the medicine supporting tube 62 out of the medicine box tube 61.

[0062] The working principle of a smart reminder medicine box in this scheme is:

[0063] In actual application, the medicines to be taken by the elderly are placed in each corresponding medicine container 7 on a daily basis in advance. The medicine container 7 is made of glass and has a black coating on the circumferential inner wall. A blocking cover is movably provided at the top opening of each medicine container 7. When placing the medicine, the blocking cover is removed and placed. After placement, the blocking cover is used to seal the medicine.

[0064] At 8:00 every day, the control module 2 controls the translation and lifting device 4 to make the electric push rod 412 on the sliding support plate 409 reach under the medicine box tube 61 of the corresponding period, and the telescopic end of the electric push rod 412 extends upward to lift the support platform 63 at the bottom of the medicine supporting tube 62 in the medicine box tube 61, so that the medicine supporting tube 62 slides upward in the medicine box tube 61, and then the medicine cylinder 7 in the medicine supporting tube 62 is pushed out of the medicine box tube 61, so as to remind the elderly to take medicine.

[0065] At the same time, the control module 2 controls the opening of the multiple LED lamp beads 66 in the medicine holding support cylinder 62 at the corresponding period, so that the medicine holding cylinder 7 at the corresponding period becomes brighter and emits light, reminding the elderly to take medicine again.

[0066] When the elderly person takes away the medicine cartridge 7, the control module 2 controls the multiple LED lamp beads 66 to turn off the lights, and at the same time controls the translation lifting device 4 to reset, so that the electric push rod 412 on the sliding support plate 409 retracts the telescopic rod and returns to the initial middle position.

[0067] If no one of the elderly takes the medicine by 17:00, the control module 2 controls the audio module 8 to broadcast a preset reminder voice (such as please take box X of medicine) to remind the elderly to take the medicine, and broadcasts it every 3 minutes until the medicine is taken away.

[0068] If the elderly person has not taken the medicine, at 20:00 in the evening, the control module 2 establishes network communication with the pre-set contact person (children) through the network communication module, sends the information that the elderly person has not taken the medicine, and reminds the family members to pay attention to the patient taking the medicine.

[0069] Although the specific implementation of the invention is described in detail in conjunction with the drawings, it should not be understood as limiting the scope of protection of this patent. Within the scope described in the claims, various modifications and variations that can be made by those skilled in the art without creative work still fall within the scope of protection of this patent.
