Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical packaging technology, specifically a multi-layered compartmentalized medicine bottle dispensing structure. Background Technology

[0002] Liquid medications are typically stored in bottles with a top sealing plug and cap. To retrieve the medication, the cap must be opened and the sealing plug removed, which can lead to leakage through structural gaps. Powdered medications are usually stored in individual pouches to prevent spillage, resulting in higher packaging costs. Some bottle designs leave powder residue at the bottle opening after use, and the medication can easily combine with external moisture and fall back into the bottle, accelerating spoilage. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-layered compartmentalized medicine bottle structure to solve the problems of inconvenient medicine dispensing, easy leakage, spillage, and high packaging costs in existing packaging of liquid and powdered medicines.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a multi-layered compartmentalized medicine bottle dispensing structure, comprising:

[0005] The medicine bottle body has its inner cavity divided into several storage compartments for liquid and powdered medicines by partitions;

[0006] The dispensing cap covers the top of the medicine bottle and is snapped in place. Several first openings, each corresponding to a storage compartment, are provided through the cap. Pressing cavities, each connected to one of the first openings, are opened on the side of the dispensing cap.

[0007] A first adjusting cover, which corresponds to the storage compartment of the liquid medicine at the bottom, is provided with a second outlet, which is connected to the first outlets on both sides through a connecting thin tube;

[0008] The second adjusting cover corresponds to the storage compartment of the powdered drug at the bottom. It is provided with a third outlet corresponding to the first outlet on both sides. The first adjusting cover and the second adjusting cover are elastically slidably connected in the corresponding pressing chamber. The second adjusting cover is also provided with a piston plate. The dispensing cover is provided with a piston chamber. The piston plate divides the piston chamber into a variable pressure chamber and a normal pressure chamber. The second adjusting cover is provided with a second sealing gasket for sealing the piston chamber. The dispensing cover is provided with a pressure recovery hole on the inner side. The piston chamber is connected to the pressure recovery hole. The end of the variable pressure chamber is connected to the purge air duct structure of the first outlet corresponding to the second adjusting cover.

[0009] A control switch is used to switch the blocking and opening states of the purge duct structure.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] The medicine bottle body is provided with a central column in the middle, the central column is connected to the outer partition, the central column is inserted into the slot in the center of the dispensing cap, the fan-shaped block is embedded and assembled in the storage compartment, and the slot on the outer wall of the mouth of the medicine bottle body is engaged and positioned with the locking block in the bottom cavity of the dispensing cap.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] A sealing kit is fitted onto the mouth of the medicine bottle body and tightly fits into the bottom cavity and fan-shaped block of the dispensing cap. A first sealing gasket is provided on the outside of the mouth of the medicine bottle body and seals with the bottom edge of the dispensing cap. The outside of the third outlet end is sealed to the pressing cavity through the first sealing gasket.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] The top of the central column is provided with a first pressurized chamber that engages with the slot, and the bottom side of the first pressurized chamber extends to provide a second pressurized chamber that engages with the sealing kit.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] The first adjustment cover, the second adjustment cover and the pressing cavity are elastically connected by the first elastic pressure block and the second elastic pressure block, respectively.

[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0019] The side extension branch of the atmospheric pressure chamber connects to the pressure recovery hole, and the pressure change chamber is connected to the pressure recovery hole through the pressing chamber.

[0020] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0021] The purging duct structure includes an L-shaped duct that connects to the transformer chamber and an annular duct that connects to the end of the L-shaped duct. The annular duct has an inner duct that radiates outwards from the inner side and connects to the first outlet corresponding to the second regulating cover.

[0022] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0023] The pressing block of the control switch is pressed and elastically connected to the pressing groove on the surface of the dispensing cap through a reset elastic element.

[0025] The dispensing structure of this invention enables compartmentalized storage of liquid and powdered medications. In use, pressing the adjusting cap dispenses different medications through the connected first, second, and third outlets. After the first adjusting cap elastically resets, the connecting thin tubes at both ends of the second outlet are pulled outwards, tightening their inner cavities and creating a relatively high pressure within the second outlet, preventing liquid medications from leaking out of the relatively low-pressure storage compartment. Before the second adjusting cap is released, a control switch can be operated to connect the relatively high-pressure transformer chamber, created by the synchronous movement of the piston plate when the second adjusting cap is pressed, with the purging air duct structure. This allows gas to be blown out, purging the medications in the first and third outlets corresponding to the powdered medications, causing them to re-enter the storage compartment. This achieves leak-free dispensing and retrieval of medications. The multi-layered design of the dispensing cap and adjusting cap ensures the stability of the lateral sliding structure, preventing vertical displacement and ensuring a sealed connection between the two dispensing caps, thus preventing medication leakage into the pressing chamber.

[0045] Please see Figure 1-10 This invention provides a technical solution: a multi-layered compartmentalized medicine bottle dispensing structure, comprising:

[0046] The medicine bottle body 1 has its inner cavity divided into several storage compartments for storing liquid and powdered medicines by partitions 12;

[0047] The medicine dispensing cap 2 covers the top of the medicine bottle body 1 and is snapped in place. Several first outlets 24 corresponding to the storage compartments are provided through the cap. Pressing chambers 25 are opened on the side of the medicine dispensing cap 2, which are respectively connected to the first outlets 24.

[0048] The first adjusting cover 3 corresponds to the storage compartment of the liquid medicine at the bottom, and a second outlet 31 is provided on it. The second outlet 31 is connected to the first outlets 24 on both sides through a connecting thin tube 32.

[0049] The second adjusting cover 4 corresponds to the storage compartment of the powdered drug at the bottom. It is provided with a third outlet 41 corresponding to the first outlet 24 on both sides. The first adjusting cover 3 and the second adjusting cover 4 are elastically slidably connected in the corresponding pressing chamber 25. The second adjusting cover 4 is also provided with a piston plate 44. The dispensing cover 2 is provided with a piston chamber 20. The piston plate 44 divides the piston chamber 20 into a variable pressure chamber and a normal pressure chamber. The second adjusting cover 4 is provided with a second sealing gasket 43 for sealing the piston chamber 20. The dispensing cover 2 is provided with a pressure recovery hole 26 on the inner side. The piston chamber 20 is connected to the pressure recovery hole 26. The end of the variable pressure chamber is connected to the purge air duct structure of the first outlet 24 corresponding to the second adjusting cover 4.

[0050] Control switch 5 is used to switch the blocking and opening states of the purge duct structure.

[0051] The dispensing structure of this invention enables compartmentalized storage of liquid and powdered medications. In use, pressing the adjusting cap dispenses different medications through the connected first, second, and third outlets. After the first adjusting cap elastically resets, the connecting thin tubes at both ends of the second outlet are pulled outwards, tightening their inner cavities and creating a relatively high pressure within the second outlet, preventing liquid medications from leaking out of the relatively low-pressure storage compartment. Before the second adjusting cap is released, a control switch can be operated to connect the relatively high-pressure transformer chamber, created by the synchronous movement of the piston plate when the second adjusting cap is pressed, with the purging air duct structure. This allows gas to be blown out, purging the medications in the first and third outlets corresponding to the powdered medications, causing them to re-enter the storage compartment. This achieves leak-free dispensing and retrieval of medications. The multi-layered design of the dispensing cap and adjusting cap ensures the stability of the lateral sliding structure, preventing vertical displacement and ensuring a sealed connection between the two dispensing caps, thus preventing medication leakage into the pressing chamber.

[0052] A central column 11 is provided in the middle of the bottle body 1. The central column 11 is connected to the outer partition 12. The central column 11 is inserted into the slot 21 in the center of the dispensing cap 2. A fan-shaped block 22 is embedded and assembled in the storage compartment. The slot 13 on the outer wall of the bottle mouth of the bottle body 1 is engaged and positioned with the locking block 23 in the bottom cavity of the dispensing cap 2. The above-described interlocking design ensures a tight fit between the bottle body 1 and the dispensing cap 2, preventing cross-contamination or leakage of different drugs in each storage compartment.

[0053] A sealing kit is fitted at the mouth of the medicine bottle body 1 and fits tightly with the bottom cavity and fan-shaped block 22 of the dispensing cap 2. A first sealing gasket 14 is provided on the outside of the mouth of the medicine bottle body 1 and fits tightly with the bottom edge of the dispensing cap 2. The outer side of the end of the third outlet 41 is sealed to the pressing cavity 25 through the first sealing gasket 14, thereby further improving the independence of the compartment storage of multiple types of medicines.

[0054] The top of the central column 11 is provided with a first pressurized chamber 15 that connects to the slot 21, and the bottom side of the first pressurized chamber 15 extends to a second pressurized chamber 16 that connects to the sealing kit. This design mainly uses the pressure difference between the pressurized chamber and the storage compartment to prevent drug leakage between the sealing kit and the storage compartment and the bottom cavity of the dispensing cap 2, thus avoiding cross-contamination of drugs.

[0055] The first adjusting cover 3, the second adjusting cover 4, and the pressing chamber 25 are elastically connected by the first elastic pressing block 33 and the second elastic pressing block 42, respectively. A flip cover can also be provided at the bottom first outlet 24 corresponding to the second adjusting cover 4, so that when the second adjusting cover 4 is not pressed and the third outlet 41 is not aligned with the first outlet 24, the second adjusting cover 4 can seal the flip cover to prevent it from opening and causing the medicine to spill into the pressing chamber 25. Only when the third outlet 41 is aligned with the first outlet 24 can the flip cover be opened to pour out the medicine.

[0056] The side extension branch of the normal pressure chamber connects to the pressure relief hole 26, and the pressure variable chamber is connected to the pressure relief hole 26 through the pressing chamber 25.

[0057] The purging duct structure includes an L-shaped duct 27 that connects to the transformer chamber and an annular duct 28 that connects to the end of the L-shaped duct 27. The annular duct 28 has an inner duct that radiates outwards and connects to the first outlet 24 corresponding to the second adjusting cover 4.

[0058] The pressing block 51 of the control switch 5 is pressed and elastically connected to the pressing groove 29 on the surface of the dispensing cap 2 through the reset elastic member 52. The reset elastic member 52 is sealed at the top of the pressing groove 29. The bottom of the pressing groove 29 passes through the L-shaped air duct 27. The sealing member 53 at the bottom of the pressing block 51 is inserted into the L-shaped air duct 27. The sealing member 53 is provided with a through hole 54 corresponding to the L-shaped air duct 27.

[0059] The working principle of the multi-compartment medicine bottle dispensing structure in this embodiment includes: During use, the first pressurized chamber 15 is closed to the slot 21 by the insertion and sealing assembly of the dispensing cap 2 and the medicine bottle body 1, forming a relatively high pressure. Through the pressure difference between this chamber and the storage compartment, it prevents the medicine from seeping out through the gaps and cross-contaminating with other medicines. When liquid medicine is dispensed for use, such as... Figure 6 , 7Press the first adjusting cap 3 inward to align the corresponding first outlet 24, second outlet 31, and connecting thin tube 32, allowing the contents to be poured out. Releasing the first adjusting cap 3 resets it and pulls the connecting thin tube 32 outward, closing its inner cavity and creating a relatively high pressure in the second outlet 31. This prevents liquid medication from seeping upward from the first outlet 24 and connecting thin tube 32 when the device is not in use. When discharging powdered medication for use, such as... Figure 8-10 Press the second adjusting cover 4 inward so that the third outlet 41 aligns with the first outlet 24 on the upper and lower sides, and is isolated from the pressing chamber 25 by the first sealing gasket 14. At this time, the second sealing gasket 43 seals the bottom of the piston chamber 20 to achieve a seal. The piston plate 44 moves synchronously to pressurize one side of the transformer chamber, and then the medicine can be poured out. After the medicine is removed, press the control switch 5 so that the sealing part 53 moves down and the through hole 54 aligns with the L-shaped air duct 27, so that the gas in the relatively high pressure transformer chamber can be discharged through the L-shaped air duct 27 and the annular air duct 28, and the residual powder in the third outlet 41 and the first outlet 24 can be blown back into the storage compartment at the bottom. Then the second adjusting cover 4 can be released to reset it, the outlet closes, and the piston chamber 20 connects to the pressing chamber 25 and the repressurization hole 26 to repressurize the transformer chamber and replenish the gas.

[0060] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the multi-layer compartmentalized medicine bottle dispensing structure of this embodiment has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0061] The dispensing structure of this invention enables compartmentalized storage of liquid and powdered medications. In use, pressing the adjusting cap dispenses different medications through the connected first, second, and third outlets. After the first adjusting cap elastically resets, the connecting thin tubes at both ends of the second outlet are pulled outwards, tightening their inner cavities and creating a relatively high pressure within the second outlet, preventing liquid medications from leaking out of the relatively low-pressure storage compartment. Before the second adjusting cap is released, a control switch can be operated to connect the relatively high-pressure transformer chamber, created by the synchronous movement of the piston plate when the second adjusting cap is pressed, with the purging air duct structure. This allows gas to be blown out, purging the medications in the first and third outlets corresponding to the powdered medications, causing them to re-enter the storage compartment. This achieves leak-free dispensing and retrieval of medications. The multi-layered design of the dispensing cap and adjusting cap ensures the stability of the lateral sliding structure, preventing vertical displacement and ensuring a sealed connection between the two dispensing caps, thus preventing medication leakage into the pressing chamber.

Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
