Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medicine box equipment, and in particular to a mechanism for accurately controlling the output quantity of medicines, an intelligent medicine box and a control method. Background Art

[0002] China is a major global consumer of medicines, and the elderly constitute an important cornerstone of drug demand. With the accelerated development of an aging society, the complexity and diversity of medication for the elderly have become increasingly prominent. Not only do they take medications frequently, but they often need to take multiple medications at the same time. This situation is directly related to the issue of medication safety. Wrong medication may greatly reduce the effectiveness of treatment and even endanger the patient's life. According to survey data, even if they receive monthly follow-up visits from general practitioners and re-prescriptions, up to 20% of the elderly still do not comply with medication.

[0003] In view of the severe challenges of medication management for the elderly, a variety of home smart medicine box products have emerged on the market, aiming to improve medication safety and compliance through technological means. The smart medicine boxes for home use on the market can be roughly divided into the following three categories: (1) small compartmentalized medicine boxes. This type of medicine box is compact and portable, with compartments inside to distinguish different types of pills. However, its storage capacity is limited and it is difficult to accurately manage multiple medicines. (2) medium-sized compartmentalized medicine boxes. This type of product effectively plans medication plans by packaging pills by day and time period (morning, noon and evening). However, there is still a high risk of opening the medicine box by mistake. Its large size is inconvenient to carry and cannot meet the needs of patients who take medicine frequently. (3) automatic sorting medium-sized compartmentalized medicine boxes, that is, home medical robots. Although it can automatically sort and remind users, users only need to preset the drug information, and the medicine box can automatically pop out the required pills at the specified time, greatly reducing the risk of accidental or wrong medication. However, it still cannot accurately deliver the number of pills. Often, the number of pills output is lower than the set number of pills due to the insufficient adsorption of the suction cup on the tablets. In addition, its high price and large size limit its popularity.

[0004] Although the design of medicine compartments effectively reduces the possibility of taking medicine by mistake, in actual operation, users may still encounter the risk of taking medicine incorrectly for various reasons. In addition, those medicine boxes with the function of automatically ejecting medicines, although innovative at the technical level, are difficult to cross the threshold of popularization due to their large size and high price, limiting their promotion potential in the large-scale market.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0019] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a mechanism for accurately controlling the amount of drug output is provided. Figures 1 to 9, including: a medicine box 2, which is used to contain medicines; an adjustment mouth assembly 3, including a first driving member 31, a turntable 32 and a plurality of blades 33 arranged in sequence around the turntable 32, the other ends of the plurality of blades 33 jointly form an opening 34, the turntable 32 is communicated with the medicine box 2, so that the medicines enter the opening 34, the first driving member 31 drives the turntable 32 to rotate, driving the blades 33 to rotate synchronously, thereby adjusting the size of the opening 34; a channel 4, which is located below the opening 34, and the diameter of the channel 4 is adjustable to prevent the medicines from deviating when falling; a control number assembly 5, including a second driving member 51 and a lifting rod 52, the control number assembly 5 is used to control the single output of the medicine; the second driving member 51 drives the lifting rod 52 to move in the channel 4; the lifting rod 52 rises according to the diameter of the medicine, supports the single medicine falling from the opening 34, so that the medicine is clamped in the channel 4, and then closes the opening 34, and drives the lifting rod 52 to descend, releasing the single medicine to slide down.

[0020] The mechanism for accurately controlling the output quantity of the medicine in this embodiment takes the spherical granular medicine as an example. The medicine box 2 is connected to the turntable 32, and the first driving member 31 drives the turntable 32 to rotate, driving the opening 34 surrounded by the blades 33 to adjust the size to adapt to the diameter of the medicine. This step ensures that the opening size just allows a single medicine to pass through, and does not cause multiple medicines to fall at the same time. The channel 4 is located directly below the opening 34, and its diameter can be adjusted according to the diameter of the medicine to ensure that the medicine will not deviate or tilt during the falling process. The channel 4 constrains the falling trajectory of the medicine to maintain the stability of the medicine. The lifting rod 52 rises to a set height according to the diameter of the medicine, and supports the falling single medicine. At this time, the medicine is clamped in the channel 4 by the lifting rod 52 to ensure that only one medicine remains in this position. Once the medicine is clamped by the lifting rod 52, the blades 33 rotate synchronously, and the closing opening 34 is closed to prevent other medicines from continuing to enter the channel 4. After the opening 34 is closed, the second driving member 51 controls the lifting rod 52 to descend, so that the clamped single medicine slides from the channel 4, thereby completing the precise output of the single medicine. The first driving member 31 and the second driving member 51 automatically adjust the size of the opening 34 and control the movement of the lifting rod 52, and then clamp the single medicine falling from the opening 34 in the channel 4 through the diameter-adjustable channel 4, so as to accurately control the output of only one medicine each time, avoiding the situation where multiple medicines fall at the same time. This embodiment is suitable for medicines of different diameters. By adjusting the size of the opening 34 and the channel 4, it can flexibly handle medicines of various types and sizes, and has a wide range of application scenarios. The mechanism for precisely controlling the output quantity of medicines in this embodiment solves the technical problem that the quantity of medicines cannot be precisely controlled and precisely output in the related art.

[0021] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The mechanism for accurately controlling the output quantity of the medicine in this embodiment further comprises a fixed frame 6, a first driving member 31 being a first motor 311, the first motor 311 being fixed on the fixed frame 6, a rotating disk 32 being fixed on a first fixed disk 61 of the fixed frame 6, the rotating disk 32 comprising a first rotating disk 321 and a second rotating disk 322, a convex tooth 3211 being provided on the first rotating disk 321, meshing with a gear 3111 on the first motor 311, and driving the first rotating disk 321 to rotate; The first rotating disk 321 is provided with a plurality of first slide slots 3212, and the second rotating disk 322 is provided with a plurality of second slide slots 3221, and one end of each blade 33 is located between the first rotating disk 321 and the second rotating disk 322; the adjusting mouth assembly 3 also includes: a plurality of connecting pins 35, each blade 33 is provided with a connecting hole 333, and the blade 33 is connected to the first rotating disk 321 by the connecting pin 35 passing through the first slide slot 3212 and the connecting hole 333; when the first rotating disk 321 rotates, the connecting pin 35 moves in the first slide slot 3212, driving the blade 33 to rotate synchronously to adjust the size of the opening 34; a plurality of blocks 36, each block 36 is respectively arranged on a side of the blade 33 away from the first rotating disk 321, and inserted into the second slide slot 3221, and the rotation range of the blade 33 is limited by the second slide slot 3221 and the block 36. Through the meshing transmission between the convex tooth 3211 and the gear 3111, the first motor 311 can drive the first rotating disk 321 to rotate. The first turntable 321 and the second turntable 322 in the adjustment mouth assembly 3 drive the blades 33 to form an opening 34, and the first turntable 321 can be driven to rotate by the first driving member 31, so as to accurately adjust the size of the opening 34. Such a structure ensures that the size of the opening can accurately adapt to medicines of different diameters, realizes the accurate output of a single medicine, and prevents the problem of multiple medicines falling at the same time. Each blade 33 is connected to the first slide groove 3212 through a connecting pin 35, and cooperates with the second slide groove 3221 through a block 36, thereby limiting the rotation range of the blade 33. This design ensures the consistency and stability of the blade rotation, makes the adjustment of the opening 34 more stable and reliable, and avoids the problem of reduced output accuracy caused by blade shaking or position deviation.

[0022] See also Figure 3In the mechanism for accurately controlling the output quantity of the medicine in this embodiment, the blade 33 includes a connecting piece 331 and an adjusting piece 332, an angle is formed between the connecting piece 331 and the adjusting piece 332, each connecting hole 333 and each block 36 are arranged on each connecting piece 331, the connecting piece 331 abuts between the first rotating disk 321 and the second rotating disk 322, and the adjusting piece 332 extends toward the direction of the channel 4, so that a plurality of blades 33 are arranged around the rotating disk 32 to form a cone structure, and the opening 34 is located at the end of the cone structure, so as to accurately adjust the size of the opening 34. By setting an angle between the connecting piece 331 and the adjusting piece 332, the blades 33 are arranged around the rotating disk 32 to form a cone structure. The opening 34 is located at the end of the cone structure, which effectively guides the medicine to fall accurately from the opening 34, ensuring that the amount of medicine output each time is accurately controllable and avoiding multiple medicines from falling at the same time. See also Figure 1 and Figure 4 In the mechanism of the present embodiment for precisely controlling the quantity of drug output, the diameter of the channel 4 is adjusted by the channel adjustment component 7, the channel adjustment component 7 is fixed on the second fixed plate 62 of the fixed frame 6, and the channel adjustment component 7 comprises: a base plate 71, on which a limit pin 711 and a fixed pin 712 are arranged, and there are multiple limit pins 711 and multiple fixed pins 712; a rotating ring 72, the rotating ring 72 is located above the base plate 71, and a plurality of limit grooves 721 are arranged on the rotating ring 72, and each limit pin 711 is movable in its respective limit groove 721; a plurality of connecting rods 73, each connecting rod 73 is hinged to the rotating ring 72; a plurality of rotating sliders 74, a plurality of rotating sliders 74 are all located in the rotating ring 72, and the plurality of rotating sliders 74 are perpendicular to the base plate 71 and the rotating ring 72, and the plurality of rotating sliders 74 are arranged at intervals to surround the channel 4; the rotating slider 74 is provided with a fixing hole 741, and the fixing pin 712 passes through the fixing hole 741 to hinge the rotating slider 74 with the base plate 71, and the end of the connecting rod 73 away from the rotating ring 72 is hinged with the rotating slider 74; the third driving member 75, the third driving member 75 drives the rotating ring 72 to rotate, and the rotating ring 72 drives the connecting rod 73 to move synchronously, so that the plurality of rotating sliders 74 rotate around the channel 4 and move inward or outward, thereby changing the diameter of the channel 4 surrounded by the plurality of rotating sliders 74. The rotating slider 74 is hinged with the base plate 71 through the fixing pin 712, and the connecting rod 73 and the limiting pin 711 slide in the limiting groove 721, forming a stable rotating structure. The cooperation of the limiting pin 711 and the limiting groove 721 ensures the moving range and position accuracy of the rotating slider 74. The precise positioning of the rotating slider 74 further ensures the accuracy of the diameter adjustment of the channel 4, effectively reduces the error in the drug delivery process, and improves the accuracy and reliability of drug delivery. The synchronous rotation and inward or outward movement of multiple rotating sliders 74 can accurately adjust the diameter of the channel 4. The rotating slider 74 is a long strip structure (such as Figure 5 As shown in FIG. 1 ), the more the sliders 74 are rotated, the closer the channel 4 is to a circle, so that the size of the channel 4 is more closely matched to the diameter of the medicine.

[0023] See also Figure 1 and Figure 6 The mechanism for accurately controlling the output quantity of the medicine in this embodiment, the channel adjustment component 7 further includes a base 76, the base 76 is fixed on the second fixed plate 62 of the fixed frame 6, the base plate 71 is fixed on the base 76, and the third driving member 75 is fixed on the outer side of the base 76.

[0024] The third driving member 75 may be a gear motor set, and the outer side of the rotating ring 72 is provided with a tooth groove meshing with the gear, and the rotation of the gear drives the rotating ring 72 to rotate; the third driving member 75 may also be a push rod, which pushes the rotating ring 72 to rotate relative to the base plate 71. The third driving member 75 may also be other structures that can drive the rotating ring 72 to rotate, including but not limited to the above two driving structures.

[0025] See also Figure 6 The mechanism of the embodiment for accurately controlling the output quantity of the medicine, the second driving member 51 is a second motor 511, the second motor 511 is fixed on the third fixing plate 63 of the fixing frame 6, the output end of the second motor 511 is threadedly connected with the lifting rod 52, and the lifting rod 52 is driven to move up and down by rotation. The electric push rod pushes the lifting rod 52 up and down. Compared with the traditional lifting structure, this threaded driving method has stable operation and low noise, reduces the impact of vibration transmission to the lifting rod 52, and is more suitable for use in home and medical environments that require quietness and stability.

[0027] See also Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9The intelligent medicine box of this embodiment includes a box body 1, in which the above-mentioned mechanism for accurately controlling the output quantity of the medicine is arranged, and an identification component 8 is arranged at the top of the box body 1. The identification component 8 includes an identification table 81 and a collector 82. The collector 82 is used to collect the information of the medicine on the identification table 81. A slide 9 is arranged below the identification table 81. By rotating the identification table 81, the medicine slides from the slide 9 into the medicine box 2; there are multiple mechanisms, and a first bracket 11 is arranged in the box body 1. Multiple mechanisms are arranged on the first bracket 11 at intervals. The first bracket 11 is rotatably arranged relative to the box body 1.

The collector 82 collects the information of the medicine on the identification table 81, and realizes the accurate identification of the type, size and other information of the medicine, which not only provides accurate parameter basis for the subsequent medicine output, but also can match the set taking time, taking quantity and other information, thereby improving the intelligent level of the equipment. Open the identification table 81, and guide the identified class of medicine along the slide 9 to the medicine box 2, so as to avoid the jamming and deviation of the medicine during the transmission process. The multiple mechanisms on the first bracket 11 that accurately control the output quantity of the medicine are rotatably arranged relative to the box body 1, so that the smart medicine box can rotate the first bracket 11 as needed, dock the designated medicine box 2 with the slide 9, ensure that the medicine falls accurately into the corresponding medicine box, and prevent drug distribution errors. Multiple mechanisms are arranged at intervals on the first bracket 11, and the distribution of medicines is achieved by rotating the bracket. The smart medicine box of this embodiment can hold four different types of medicines. The user only needs to set the information and distribution plan of the four types of medicines. The smart medicine box automatically performs the process of identification, docking and distribution, which greatly reduces the user's operating burden. It is particularly suitable for the elderly or users who need to manage multiple medicines.

[0028] See also Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The smart medicine box of this embodiment also includes a fourth motor 10. A second bracket 12 is also provided in the box body 1.
