DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The following embodiments are implemented based on the above technical solution of the present invention, and provide detailed implementation methods and specific operation processes, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0041] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, further definition and explanation thereof is not required in subsequent drawings.

[0042] In conjunction with the accompanying drawings, some embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0043] Embodiment 1:

[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 The device for dispensing and monitoring oral medicines shown in the figure comprises a box body 1, a plurality of compartments 2 (e.g., 8 compartments), a feeding hopper 3, a medicine taking port 4, and a monitoring camera 5. A mounting plate is arranged horizontally inside the box body 1, and a plurality of compartments 2 are arranged horizontally on the mounting plate. A plurality of feeding holes are opened on the top cover of the box body 1, and the plurality of feeding holes are respectively located above the corresponding compartments 2. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the compartment 2 includes a cylindrical shell 201, a conical material distribution plate 202 disposed in the shell 201, and a plurality of independently rotatable rotating material plates 203 disposed below the conical material distribution plate 202 (such as Fig. 9 ), a tablet storage tank 204 provided at the outer edge of the rotating material tray 203, and a push rod 205 (as shown in FIG. Figure 7 , Figure 8As shown), and a feeding channel 206 longitudinally opened on the inner wall of the shell 201; multiple rotating material trays 203 are coaxially arranged, the size of the tablet storage slots 204 is adapted to a single tablet, and the tablet storage slots 204 pass through the upper and lower sides of the rotating material trays 203, so that adjacent tablet storage slots 204 can follow the rotation until they are connected, and the push rod 205 can push the tablets out when the tablet storage slots 204 rotate to connect with the feeding channel 206; the upper inlet of the feeding funnel 3 is connected to the outlet of the feeding channel 206 of multiple compartments 2; the medicine taking port 4 is opened at the bottom of the side wall of the box body 1, and corresponds to the lower outlet of the feeding funnel 3; the monitoring camera 5 is arranged on the box body 1 for monitoring the patient's medication.

[0045] The size of the tablet storage slot 204 is adapted to a single tablet, which means that only a single upright tablet can be accommodated in the tablet storage slot 204. The size adaptation includes that the width of the tablet storage slot 204 is slightly larger than the width of a single tablet, and the center height spacing of adjacent tablet storage slots 204 is approximately the width of a single tablet.

[0046] When in use, the rotating material tray 203 is rotated until multiple tablet storage slots 204 are connected in sequence from top to bottom and staggered with the discharge channel 206. When multiple tablets are poured in, they will be distributed outward through the conical material distribution tray 202, fall into and be stacked in sequence in the tablet storage slots 204. Since the size of the tablet storage slots 204 is adapted to a single tablet, the tablets and the tablet storage slots 204 are distributed one by one to achieve single-case distribution.

[0047] When taking medicine, the rotating material tray 203 is rotated in sequence to make the corresponding tablet storage slot 204 communicate with the feeding channel 206, and the tablets are pushed out to the feeding channel 206 by the push rod 205 to control the number of tablets discharged.

[0048] In some specific embodiments, a conical material distribution plate 202 is also suspended above the conical material distribution plate 202. Fig.10 The medicine storage box 6 shown in the figure has the top opening of the housing 1 facing the medicine storage box 6, and a weight (tension) sensor is provided at the hanging part of the medicine storage box 6 to obtain the weight of the tablets added into the medicine storage box 6. At the same time, a double-opening door is also provided at the bottom of the medicine storage box 6 to unload the tablets after weighing is completed.

[0049] In some specific embodiments, in order to prevent the tablets from falling directly into the feeding channel 206 without passing through the tablet storage tank 204, a baffle plate (i.e. Figure 5 and Figure 6 The height of the baffle is flush with the upper edge of the uppermost tablet storage slot 204, and the tablet storage slot 204 and the feeding channel 206 are staggered when the tablets fall.

[0050] In some specific embodiments, Fig.14As shown, a gap is provided between the outer edge of the conical material distribution plate 202 and the inner wall of the housing 201, and the width of the gap and the radial width of the tablet storage slot 204 along the rotating material plate 203 are adapted to the thickness of the tablets, so that the tablets fall into the tablet storage slot 204 in a vertical state. Since the inner wall of the housing 201 is an arc surface, the round tablets cannot fit the inner wall of the housing 201, so the width of the gap is slightly larger than the maximum distance between the plane where the inner side surface is located and the arc surface of the inner wall of the housing 201 when the two ends of the outer side surface of the tablet abut against the inner wall of the housing 201.

[0051] In some specific embodiments, a plurality of tablet storage slots 204 are provided at intervals along the circumferential direction on the outer edge of the rotating material tray 203 to increase the tablet storage capacity of each rotating material tray 203 .

[0052] In some preferred embodiments, the sizes and distribution intervals of the tablet storage slots 204 on the plurality of rotating material trays 203 are respectively consistent, so that when one column of the tablet storage slots 204 is aligned, the remaining tablet storage slots 204 are aligned in columns.

[0053] In some specific embodiments, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a mounting hole 207 is provided at the bottom side of the tablet storage tank 204, and a push rod 205 is telescopically assembled in the mounting hole 207. Specifically, the push rod 205 can be a telescopic cylinder or an electromagnetic push rod.

[0054] In some specific embodiments, Fig.11 As shown, the electromagnetic push rod includes a magnetic push rod 208 slidably arranged in the mounting hole 207, and a spiral coil 209 arranged on the inner wall of the mounting hole 207 and sleeved on the outside of the magnetic push rod 208. A limiting cavity 210 is provided at the rear end of the mounting hole 207, and a limiting protrusion 211 is provided at the rear end of the magnetic push rod 208. The limiting protrusion 211 is slidably limited in the limiting cavity 210. When the spiral coil 209 is energized to generate a magnetic field, the magnetic push rod 208 can push out the tablets in the tablet storage tank 204 under the action of the magnetic field, and the magnetic push rod 208 is prevented from sliding out of the mounting hole 207 by the limiting action of the limiting protrusion 211 at the rear end and the limiting cavity 210.

[0055] In some specific embodiments, a tablet sensor for detecting whether tablets are stored and a positioning sensor for detecting whether the tablet storage tank 204 is rotated to the unloading channel 206 are provided in the tablet storage tank 204 .

[0056] Specifically, the pill sensor may be a distance sensor, which may be disposed on the side wall or bottom of the pill storage slot 204 . After the pill falls in, the distance measurement signal fed back by the distance sensor will change significantly. When a nearby object is continuously detected, it is determined that pills are stored in the pill storage slot 204 .

[0057] Alternatively, the pill sensor uses an infrared transmitter and an infrared receiver disposed on the side wall to determine whether pills are stored in the pill storage slot 204 according to whether there is an object continuously blocking the infrared rays.

[0058] Similarly, the positioning sensor can also be a distance sensor, which can be arranged on the outer edges of both sides of the outer opening of the tablet storage slot 204 and use the radial direction as the detection direction. Since the discharge channel 206 is an outward convex structure relative to the inner wall of the shell 201, when the distances detected by the distance sensors at the two locations become larger, it is determined that the tablet storage slot 204 is facing the discharge channel 206.

[0059] Alternatively, the positioning sensor is a color mark sensor, and a color mark is provided on the inner wall of the housing 201 next to the material discharge channel 206 at a height corresponding to the rotating material tray 203 from top to bottom, and a color mark sensor is provided on the outer edge of the outer opening of the tablet storage tank 204. When the color mark is detected, it is determined that the tablet storage tank 204 is facing the material discharge channel 206. An illuminating lamp can be provided near the color mark sensor.

[0060] In some specific embodiments, Fig.12 As shown, a rotating shaft 208 is disposed inside the housing 201. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a through hole is opened on the rotating material tray 203 for the rotating shaft 208 to pass through, and a driving wheel and a plurality of supporting wheels are arranged at the bottom of the rotating material tray 203. The driving wheel and the plurality of supporting wheels are arranged along the circumferential direction and are rollingly connected to the top side of the lower rotating material tray 203 or the bottom of the shell 201.

[0061] In some preferred embodiments, Figure 8 As shown, the bottom of the rotating material tray 203 is provided with an opening, the main body of the driving wheel and the supporting wheel is arranged in the rotating material tray 203, the lower part of the wheel body is exposed outside the opening, and is rollingly connected with the top side of the lower rotating material tray 203 or the bottom of the housing 201, so that the clearance of adjacent rotating material trays 203 is matched. The driving motor of the driving wheel is built into the rotating material tray 203, and is controlled by the controller to start, stop or adjust the speed.

[0062] In some specific embodiments, a discharge weighing scale 7 is further provided below the lower outlet of the discharge hopper 3 .

[0063] As a preferred embodiment, a dosing tray is provided on the discharge metering scale 7 and corresponds to the lower end outlet of the discharge funnel 3 .

[0064] In some specific embodiments, a portable medicine box is detachably provided on the box body 1, and the detachable method may be selected from magnetic connection, snap connection, strap fixation, etc.; and / or, a display screen 8 is also provided on the box body 1.

[0065] The display screen 8 is used to display the recent medication schedule. Preferably, the display screen 8 is a touch screen for adjusting and displaying the medication schedule and controlling the dispensing of medication.

[0066] This embodiment also includes a controller, which is electrically connected to the tablet sensor, the driving motor of the driving wheel, the positioning sensor, the push rod, the display screen 8, the discharge metering scale 7, and the monitoring camera 5, so as to respectively realize the qualitative detection of the presence of drugs, the rotation positioning of the tablet storage tank 204, the discharge of drugs, the display of medication arrangements, the statistics and records of discharge, the monitoring records of medication, etc.

[0067] At the same time, scheduled drug administration can also be achieved. For example, the drug administration time, drug administration frequency, and drug dosage of the machine can be set according to the doctor's order system. For example, if the drug needs to be taken at 8 o'clock, 12 o'clock, and 16 o'clock every day, the machine will automatically drop the drugs stored in the machine into the drug administration tray at these three time points. Patients cannot change the drug administration time and drug dosage at will.

[0068] In some specific embodiments, a Bluetooth module is also included to connect a mobile phone via Bluetooth to perform setting functions.

[0069] In some specific embodiments, a counter is also provided at the entrance of the housing 201 to scan the quantity of the medicines put in, record the total weight through a weight sensor, and calculate the weight of each medicine.

[0070] In some specific embodiments, the machine will automatically dispense the medicine according to the time of taking the medicine. The medicine will fall from the machine body into the medicine box. The medicine box will weigh the medicine to confirm whether it is consistent with the total weight of the medicine to be taken, ensuring that the medicine is dispensed correctly.

[0071] In some specific embodiments, at the point of taking the medicine, the machine will sound a reminder to remind the patient to take the medicine. If the patient is no longer around, the machine system will call the contact person according to the set contact after 3 reminders and 1 minute; if the contact person does not receive the reminder, the researcher will be directly contacted for further treatment.

[0072] In some specific embodiments, the patient can record and clock in the medication through real-time video recording while taking the medication.

[0073] In some specific embodiments, if the patient needs to go out, he or she can contact the researcher, set up the machine system, take out the medicine in advance, and record and clock in the medicine on the mobile phone.

[0074] In some specific embodiments, if the remaining drug amount is insufficient, the machine system will directly contact the researcher and then perform other operations such as adding drugs.

[0075] In some specific embodiments, the time record of taking medication can be exported by a machine as a basis for research.

[0076] Taking oral medication to treat diseases is the most common treatment method. However, clinical research on oncology patients requires that they take medication on time and in the right amount, and record the time of taking medication. The current machine can dispense the medication that patients need to take on time, in the right amount, and remind patients to take the medication according to the doctor's instructions, and use video to record the time when patients take medication, so as to ensure the authenticity and accuracy of clinical research.

[0077] Ensure that patients take medication on time and in the right amount. This embodiment can accurately record medication time, reduce missed medications, under-dosage, and failure to take medication on time and in the right amount, and reduce research errors.

[0078] Embodiment 2:

[0079] Compared with the first embodiment, the present embodiment adopts a feed opening which is opened on the outer side of the bottom surface of the cylindrical shell 201 and matches with the tablet storage tank 204, and a mounting plate feed opening 9 is opened at a corresponding position on the mounting plate, and the feed channel 206 and the push rod 205 are removed. Fig.13 shown.

[0080] In the medicine storage state, the tablet storage slots 204 loaded with tablets on the lowest rotating material tray 203 are staggered from the discharge port, and the tablet storage slots 204 of the upper rotating material tray 203 are staggered from the tablet storage slots 204 of the adjacent lower rotating material trays 203.

[0081] When taking medicines one by one, the lowest rotating material disc 203 is rotated until the tablet storage slot 204 is connected with the discharge port and the mounting plate discharge port 9, so that the tablets in the slot are discharged. Then, if there are multiple tablet storage slots 204 distributed on the outer circumference of the rotating material disc 203, the next tablet storage slot 204 is rotated to the discharge port for tablet discharge; if the tablets on the rotating material disc 203 have been emptied, the tablet storage slot 204 is kept connected with the discharge port, and the upper rotating material disc 203 is rotated until its tablet storage slot 204 is connected with the tablet storage slot 204, and the tablets are dropped into the discharge port and the mounting plate discharge port 9 through the lower tablet storage slot 204, and then further dropped into the discharge funnel and taken out from the medicine taking port. Then, by rotating the rotating material disc 203 or the upper rotating material disc 203, the effect of discharging the tablets one by one is achieved.

[0082] The positioning sensor may be a color mark sensor, and positioning is also performed through the color mark at the corresponding height on the side wall of the housing 201 and the color mark sensor disposed at the outer edge of the opening outside the tablet storage slot 204 .

[0083] The rest is the same as in Example 1.

[0084] The above description of the embodiments is to facilitate the understanding and use of the invention by those skilled in the art. It is obvious that those skilled in the art can easily make various modifications to these embodiments and apply the general principles described herein to other embodiments without creative work.
