Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medicine storage, and in particular relates to a medicine orderly use storage management box. Background Art
[0002] Medicines refer to substances used to prevent, treat, and diagnose human diseases, purposefully regulate human physiological functions, and have prescribed indications or functional indications, usage, and dosage. Hospital stock drugs include emergency drugs, anesthetic drugs, etc. Although these stock drugs are classified and managed, that is, a drug is uniformly stored in a storage box for easy access by medical staff, the drugs are usually stacked in the storage box, making it difficult to manage the expiration date of the drugs. Medical staff use them in an unordered manner, resulting in a high expiration rate of drugs, which not only wastes drugs, but also increases the cost of drug use in hospitals. Summary of the invention
[0003] The present invention aims to provide a medicine orderly use storage management box to solve the problem of disorderly use of medicines.
[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the scheme of the present invention is as follows: a drug orderly use storage management box comprises an inner cylinder and an outer cylinder, a panel is provided at the top of the inner cylinder, a partition is provided inside the inner cylinder, the partition divides the internal space of the inner cylinder into a plurality of independent drug storage chambers, and an inner access opening is provided on a side wall of each drug storage chamber away from the central axis of the inner cylinder; the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder are coaxially arranged, and the inner cylinder can rotate relative to the outer cylinder, an outer bottom plate is provided at the bottom end of the outer cylinder, and an outer access opening is provided on the side wall of the outer cylinder, and during the rotation of the inner cylinder relative to the outer cylinder, the inner access opening coincides with the outer access opening; the inner A one-way rotation limiting assembly is provided between the cylinder and the outer cylinder, and the one-way rotation limiting assembly includes a ratchet, a latch and an elastic reset member. The ratchet is coaxially fixedly connected to the outer circumferential wall of the inner cylinder, the ratchet includes a base and a plurality of teeth, each tooth having a straight edge and an arcuate edge, a horizontal through hole for the latch to pass through is provided on the side wall of the outer cylinder, the end of the latch facing the ratchet has a straight edge and an arcuate edge, the end of the latch facing the ratchet is inserted between two adjacent teeth, and the straight edge of the latch contacts the straight edge of the teeth, one end of the elastic reset member abuts against the inner side wall of the outer cylinder, and the other end of the elastic reset member is fixedly connected to the latch.
[0005] The working principle and beneficial effects of this scheme are as follows: In this scheme, the drugs are classified according to their validity period, which can be roughly divided into near-expiring, near-effective, medium-effective and long-effective periods, and then the classified drugs are placed in the corresponding drug storage chambers in sequence. When in use, this scheme uses a one-way rotation limiting component to achieve one-way rotation of the inner cylinder relative to the outer cylinder. In this way, the inner cylinder rotates unidirectionally, and the inner access ports corresponding to the drug storage chambers where the near-expiring drugs, near-effective drugs, medium-effective drugs and long-effective drugs are located coincide with the outer access ports in sequence, so that medical staff can take the drugs according to the validity period of the drugs, that is, take the near-expiring drugs first and the long-effective drugs last, thereby achieving orderly access to drugs and avoiding disorderly access to drugs, effectively reducing the expiration rate of drugs, avoiding drug waste, and reducing the cost of drug use in hospitals.
[0006] Optionally, a locking plate is provided at one end of the latch away from the ratchet, a locking through hole is provided on the locking plate, a locking bolt passes through the locking through hole, and a threaded through hole that matches the thread of the locking bolt is provided on the outer wall of the outer cylinder.
[0007] In this solution, when an inner access port overlaps with an outer access port, the locking bolt is rotated to limit the locking plate from moving in a direction away from the central axis of the outer cylinder, thereby locking the ratchet with a latch and then locking the inner cylinder, so that the inner cylinder cannot rotate relative to the outer cylinder, thereby maintaining the overlap between the inner access port and the outer access port, so that medical staff can access the medicine in the medicine storage cavity.
[0008] Optionally, a protrusion is provided on the outer side wall of the outer cylinder, and the horizontal through hole and the threaded through hole both extend to the protrusion.
[0009] In this solution, the design of the raised portion increases the thickness of the outer cylinder at that location to ensure the axial length of the horizontal through hole and the threaded through hole.
[0010] Optionally, an inner bottom plate is provided at the bottom end of the inner cylinder.
[0011] In this solution, the design of the inner bottom plate enables the medicine storage cavity to have a bottom wall, so that the medicine in the medicine storage cavity is no longer subjected to friction from the outer bottom plate, thereby protecting the packaging of the medicine.
[0012] Optionally, the bottom surface of the inner bottom plate is provided with an annular strip, and the upper surface of the outer bottom plate is provided with an annular groove that slidably cooperates with the annular strip.
[0013] In this solution, the coaxial rotation of the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder is achieved by utilizing the sliding cooperation between the annular strip and the annular groove.
[0014] Optionally, a plurality of balls are arranged in the annular groove.
[0015] In this solution, balls are used to reduce the resistance encountered when the inner cylinder rotates.
[0016] Optionally, a knob is provided on the upper surface of the panel.
[0017] In this solution, the design of the knob makes it easy for medical staff to rotate the inner cylinder.
[0018] Optionally, a plurality of marking areas are provided on the upper surface of the panel, and the plurality of marking areas correspond one-to-one to the plurality of medicine storage cavities.
[0019] In this solution, the marking area on the panel makes it easy for medical staff to distinguish the classification of the medicine in the corresponding medicine storage cavity.
[0020] Optionally, several marking areas are of different colors.
[0021] In this solution, the marking areas are distinguished by different colors, which is simple and clear, and medical staff can quickly know what category the drugs in each drug storage cavity belong to.
[0022] Optionally, a Chinese character label is provided on the marking area.
[0023] In this solution, medical staff can accurately know the category of the medicines in each medicine storage cavity through the Chinese character labels, which is particularly friendly to newcomers. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0036] Embodiment 1
[0037] This embodiment is basically Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown: a medicine orderly use storage management box includes an inner cylinder 1 and an outer cylinder 2. A panel 3 is welded to the top of the inner cylinder 1. A knob 4 is integrally formed on the upper surface of the panel 3. The knob 4, the panel 3 and the inner cylinder 1 are coaxially arranged. A partition 5 is welded inside the inner cylinder 1. The partition 5 divides the internal space of the inner cylinder 1 into a plurality of independent medicine storage chambers 6. In this embodiment, the number of medicine storage chambers 6 is four; each medicine storage chamber 6 is provided with an inner access opening 101 on a side wall away from the central axis of the inner cylinder 1, that is, each medicine storage chamber 6 is provided with an inner access opening 101 on the arc wall.
[0038] A plurality of marking areas 7 are provided on the upper surface of the panel 3, and the plurality of marking areas 7 correspond one to one to the plurality of drug storage cavities 6, and the plurality of marking areas 7 have different colors, and a Chinese character label 8 is pasted on each marking area 7; in the present embodiment, the number of marking areas 7 is four, and the colors of the four marking areas 7 are red, yellow, blue and green in a counterclockwise direction, and the Chinese characters recorded on the Chinese character label 8 on the red marking area 7 are “Linqi”, the Chinese characters recorded on the Chinese character label 8 on the yellow marking area 7 are “Near Effective Period”, the Chinese characters recorded on the Chinese character label 8 on the blue marking area 7 are “Medium Effective Period”, and the Chinese characters recorded on the Chinese character label 8 on the green marking area 7 are “Distant Effective Period”.
[0039] The inner cylinder 1 is coaxially arranged with the outer cylinder 2, and the inner cylinder 1 can rotate relative to the outer cylinder 2. Specifically, the outer peripheral wall of the panel 3 is in contact with the inner peripheral wall of the outer cylinder 2, and the inner bottom plate 9 is welded to the bottom end of the inner cylinder 1, and the outer bottom plate 10 is welded to the bottom end of the outer cylinder 2. An outer access opening 201 is provided on the side wall of the outer cylinder 2. When the inner cylinder 1 rotates relative to the outer cylinder 2, the inner access opening 101 overlaps with the outer access opening 201, and the medicine storage cavity 6 corresponding to the inner access opening 101 is exposed so that medical staff can take medicine.
[0040] A one-way rotation limiting assembly is provided between the inner cylinder 1 and the outer cylinder 2. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the one-way rotation limiting assembly includes a ratchet 11, a latch 12 and an elastic reset member 13. The ratchet 11 is coaxially welded to the outer peripheral wall of the inner cylinder 1, and the ratchet 11 includes a base 111 and a plurality of teeth 112, each of which has a straight edge and an arc edge. A horizontal through hole 202 for the latch 12 to pass through is provided on the side wall of the outer cylinder 2. The end of the latch 12 facing the ratchet 11 has a straight edge and an arc edge. The end of the latch 12 facing the ratchet 11 is inserted between two adjacent teeth 112 on the ratchet 11, and the straight edge of the latch 12 contacts the straight edge of the teeth 112. One end of the elastic reset member 13 is welded to the inner side wall of the outer cylinder 2, and the other end of the elastic reset member 13 is welded to the latch 12. In this embodiment, the elastic reset member 13 is a spring, and the spring is sleeved on the outer periphery of the latch 12.
[0041] When in use, the same medicine is first classified into four categories according to the validity period, namely, near-expiry medicine, near-expiration medicine, medium-expiration medicine and long-expiration medicine, and the four categories of medicine are respectively placed in four corresponding medicine storage chambers 6. There are two ways to place the medicine in the medicine storage chamber 6, one is to take the inner cylinder 1 out of the outer cylinder 2, and the other is to rotate the inner cylinder 1, and place the corresponding medicine in the medicine storage chamber 6 after the inner access opening 101 and the outer access opening 201 overlap. Compared with these two ways, the former is faster, and the latter does not need to remove the inner cylinder 1, and the operation is simpler. Among them, the process of taking the inner cylinder 1 out of the outer cylinder 2 is as follows: the medical staff pulls the pin 12 outward ("outward" means pointing to the direction away from the central axis of the outer cylinder 2), so that the pin 12 overcomes the elastic force of the elastic reset member 13 and moves to the left, and the right end of the pin 12 is away from the ratchet 11; then, the medical staff lifts the inner cylinder 1 upward, thereby separating the inner cylinder 1 from the outer cylinder 2, and the four medicine storage cavities 6 are exposed at the same time; then, the medical staff puts the four types of medicines into the corresponding medicine storage cavities 6 respectively, pulls the pin 12 outward again, and puts the inner cylinder 1 back into the outer cylinder 2, and then releases the pin 12.
[0042] After the medicine is stored, when the medical staff needs to take the medicine, they turn the inner cylinder 1 clockwise by turning the knob 4. During this process, the ratchet 11 rotates clockwise with the inner cylinder 1, and the arcuate edge of the tooth portion 112 of the ratchet 11 abuts against the arcuate edge of the right end of the latch 12, pushing the latch 12 to overcome the elastic force of the elastic reset member 13 and move to the left, thereby allowing the corresponding tooth portion 112 to pass; moreover, after the corresponding tooth portion 112 passes, the latch 12 moves to the right and resets under the action of the elastic reset member 13, and the right end of the latch 12 is reinserted between the two adjacent tooth portions 112. In this way, since the straight edge of the right end of the latch 12 contacts the straight edge of the tooth portion 112, the ratchet 11 cannot rotate counterclockwise under the restriction of the latch 12, thereby preventing the inner cylinder 1 from rotating counterclockwise and realizing the unidirectional rotation of the inner cylinder 1.
[0043] During the clockwise rotation of the inner cylinder 1, when the inner access opening 101 on the medicine storage cavity 6 corresponding to the near-expiry Chinese character label 8 coincides with the outer access opening 201, the medicine storage cavity 6 corresponding to the near-expiry Chinese character label 8 is exposed, and the medical staff no longer rotates the inner cylinder 1, so that the medical staff can take the near-expiry medicine. After the near-expiry medicine is taken, the medical staff continues to rotate the inner cylinder 1 clockwise until the inner access opening 101 on the medicine storage cavity 6 corresponding to the near-expiry Chinese character label 8 coincides with the outer access opening 201, so that the medical staff can take the near-expiry medicine. After the near-expiry medicine is taken, the inner cylinder 1 is rotated clockwise again, so that the medical staff can take the medium-expiry medicine; after the medium-expiry medicine is taken, the inner cylinder 1 is rotated clockwise again, so that the medical staff can take the long-expiry medicine. In other words, this embodiment realizes the orderly use of medicines, avoids the disorderly use of medicines, effectively reduces the expiration rate of medicines, avoids the waste of medicines, and reduces the cost of hospital medicines.
[0044] Embodiment 2
[0045] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that: Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, a locking plate 14 is integrally formed at the left end of the latch 12, a locking through hole 141 is formed on the locking plate 14, a locking bolt 15 passes through the locking through hole 141, and a threaded through hole 16 is formed on the outer wall of the outer cylinder 2 to be threadedly matched with the locking bolt 15. In addition, a protrusion 17 is integrally formed on the outer wall of the outer cylinder 2, and the horizontal through hole 202 and the threaded through hole 16 extend to the protrusion 17.
[0046] In this embodiment, initially, there is a gap between the left end of the locking bolt 15 and the locking plate 14, and the locking bolt 15 does not lock the locking plate 14, and the latch 12 can move horizontally left and right to realize the unidirectional rotation of the inner cylinder 1; then, when a certain inner access port 101 is completely overlapped with the outer access port 201, the medical staff rotates the locking bolt 15 to make the locking bolt 15 move to the right until the left end of the locking bolt 15 is in contact with the left side wall of the locking plate 14, thereby locking the locking plate 14 and preventing the locking plate 14 from moving to the left, so that the right end of the latch 12 remains inserted between the two adjacent teeth 112, thereby locking the inner cylinder 1 and preventing the inner cylinder 1 from rotating clockwise, ensuring the overlap between the inner access port 101 and the outer access port 201, and facilitating the medical staff to take medicines.
[0047] Embodiment 3
[0048] The difference between this embodiment and the second embodiment is that: Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the bottom surface of the inner bottom plate 9 is integrally formed with an annular strip 18 , and the upper surface of the outer bottom plate 10 is provided with an annular groove 19 that slidably cooperates with the annular strip 18 , and a plurality of balls 20 are placed in the annular groove 19 .
[0049] In this embodiment, the ball bearings 20 are used to reduce the friction between the annular strip 18 and the annular groove 19, thereby making it easier for the inner cylinder 1 to rotate. In addition, the annular strip 18 slides in the annular groove 19, and can cooperate with the panel 3 to ensure that the inner cylinder 1 and the outer cylinder 2 rotate coaxially.
