[0002] A medication device is a device that can be loaded with different medicines. Traditional medication devices are generally composed of a medicine box and a box cover. One end of the box cover is hinged to the upper side of the medicine box. At the same time, the inside of the medicine box is divided into multiple spaces for placing medicines. When the medicine is needed, just flip the box cover and open it upwards, and all the spaces for placing medicines are in an open state.

[0003] Among the people who actually use medicines, the proportion of the elderly is extremely high. As they age, their physical fitness declines. The elderly not only need to take medicine to maintain their health, but may also need to take different types of medicines at the same time. Affected by diseases and declining physical fitness, the elderly often have hand tremors. Therefore, when the elderly open the lid of the medication device, it is very easy for the medicine box to fall to the ground due to hand tremors, causing all the medicines in the medicine box to be scattered on the ground, resulting in the medicine being contaminated and unable to be taken. They can only take new medicines, which causes the medicines to be wasted, thereby increasing the cost of medicines in disguise. In addition, if some acute diseases cannot be taken in time, it is very easy to endanger the life and health of the person taking the medicine, posing a serious safety hazard.

[0026] A screw hole 23 is provided on the inner wall of the clamping notch 21; a hidden groove 24 coaxial with the screw hole 23 is provided on the outer side wall of the clamping block 22; the center of the bottom of the hidden groove 24 and the screw hole 23 are communicated through a through hole 25; a clamping screw 26 passes through the through hole 25 and is screwed into the screw hole 23, and the head of the clamping screw 26 is located in the hidden groove 24 and is in contact with the bottom of the hidden groove 24.

[0027] Between the upper limiting plate 5 and the upper end of the rotating body 4, and between the lower limiting plate 6 and the lower end of the rotating body 4, they are all fixed by a number of fixing screws 27 evenly distributed in a circle.

[0028] A through hole 28 is provided in the middle of the lower limiting plate 6; an arc-shaped pressing groove 29 is provided at the center of the lower surface of the medicine seat 1; the diameter of the pressing groove 29 is smaller than the diameter of the through hole 28.

[0029] A number of anti-slip protrusions 30 evenly distributed in a circle are provided on the outer wall of the rotating body 4.

[0030] The method of use of the present invention is as follows:

[0031] The upper limit plate 5 and the upper end of the rotating body 4, and the lower limit plate 6 and the lower end of the rotating body 4 are fixed by a plurality of fixing screws 27 evenly distributed on the circumference. This fixing method is convenient for the disassembly and assembly between the upper limit plate 5 and the rotating body 4, and between the lower limit plate 6 and the rotating body 4. When the upper limit plate 5 is not fixed to the upper end of the rotating body 4, the upper limit plate 5 does not cover and seal the upper notch of the storage groove 2. At this time, the medicine can be placed in the storage groove 2 through the upper notch of the storage groove 2, and a plurality of storage grooves 2 evenly distributed on the circumference can be used to place different types of medicines. When the upper limit plate 5 and the lower limit plate 6 are respectively fixed to the upper and lower ends of the rotating body 4, although the rotating body 4 cannot be separated from the medicine seat 1, it can rotate with the medicine seat 1 as the center.

[0032] When it is necessary to take the medicine in one of the storage slots 2, it is only necessary to rotate the medicine pouring port 7 on the rotating body 4 to the position of the medicine outlet 3 which is connected with the lower end of the storage slot 2. At this time, it is only necessary to tilt the rotating body 4, and the medicine seat 1 will be tilted at the same time. Under the action of gravity, the medicine in the storage slot 2 will be poured out to the outside through the medicine outlet 3 and the medicine pouring port 7 in turn for the person taking the medicine to take.

[0033] When it is necessary to rotate the rotating body 4, only one hand is needed to complete it. When one finger is pressed on the lower surface of the medicine seat 1, another finger can press the button 16 downward at the same time. At this time, the button pushes the limiter 10 downward through the pressure rod 15. When the limiter 10 moves down a certain distance, the upper part of the limiter 10 will completely enter the lower limit hole 9. After losing the restriction of the limiter 10, the upper limit plate 5 can rotate freely, thereby realizing the free rotation of the rotating body 4. At this time, it is only necessary to move the outer wall of the rotating body 4 with your fingers. Under the action of friction, the rotating body 4 will rotate with the medicine seat 1 as the center. Since the rotating body 4 and the upper limit plate 5 are made of transparent materials, the medicine pouring port 7 on the rotating body 4 can be accurately rotated to the corresponding medicine outlet 3 position. When the medicine is poured out, By simply rotating the rotating body 4 by a certain angle, the positions of the medicine pouring port 7 and all the medicine outlets 3 can be staggered. At this time, the inner wall of the rotating body 4 covers and seals all the medicine outlets 3 to prevent the medicine from pouring out, thereby effectively protecting the medicine. At the same time, the finger pressing on the button 16 can be released. After the external force is lost, the elastic force generated by the original reset spring 14 being pressed down by the limit member 10 will help the limit member 10 to move up and reset, and finally the button 16 is reset. When the limit member 10 moves up and resets, the upper end of the limit member 10 is stuck in the upper limit hole 8, and the lower end of the limit member 10 is stuck in the lower limit hole 9. Since the upper limit hole 8, the lower limit hole 9 and the limit member 10 are all polygonal, the rotating body 4 and the medicine seat 1 cannot rotate relative to each other under the action of the limit member 10, and the two are directly fixed together.

[0034] In summary, it can be known that the present invention can place different types of medicines through a plurality of storage grooves 2, and the upper groove openings of the storage grooves 2 are always shielded and sealed by the upper limit plate 5. Therefore, only when the medicine pouring port 7 on the rotating body 4 is opposite to one of the medicine outlets 3, the medicine in the storage groove 2 can be poured out from the medicine pouring port 7 to the outside for administration. When all the medicine outlets 3 are shielded by the inner wall of the rotating body 4, even if the medication device falls to the ground, the medicine will always be protected in the storage groove, effectively avoiding the situation where the medicine is scattered on the ground and contaminated, and avoiding the waste of medicine. Even if one of the medicine outlets 3 and the medicine pouring port 7 are opposite to each other when the medication device falls, the medicine will be kept away from the medicine. Relative to the outlet 7, the resistance slope 20 on the upper surface of the resistance block 19 can narrow the medicine outlet area of ​​the medicine outlet 3 in disguise. When all the medicines in the storage groove 2 flow to the medicine outlet 3, the medicines will be squeezed against each other and finally blocked in the medicine outlet 3, thereby avoiding a large amount of medicines from being directly scattered to the outside through the medicine outlet 3 and the medicine pouring port 7, thereby avoiding the waste of medicines to the greatest extent, effectively saving the cost of medicines, thereby ensuring that the medicines are always in a protected state, and the people who take the medicines can obtain the corresponding medicines in an emergency, avoiding the situation where the life and health are threatened due to the untimely taking of emergency medicines, and effectively eliminating safety hazards.

[0035] An upper slot 17 is provided at the center of the lower end surface of the limit member 10, and a lower slot 18 is provided at the center of the bottom of the lower limit hole 9. The upper end of the return spring 14 is clamped in the upper slot 17, and the lower end of the return spring 14 is clamped in the lower slot 18. The existence of the upper slot 17 and the lower slot 18 can effectively ensure the stability of the upper and lower ends of the return spring 14, thereby ensuring the stability of the return spring 14 when it is compressed and opened.

[0036] The upper limit hole 8 , the lower limit hole 9 and the limit member 10 are all square in shape. This structural design is convenient for processing and ensures smooth movement of the limit member 10 along the inner wall tracks of the upper limit hole 8 and the lower limit hole 9 .

[0037] A screw hole 23 is provided on the inner wall of the positioning notch 21, and a hidden groove 24 coaxial with the screw hole 23 is provided on the outer side wall of the positioning block 22. The center of the bottom of the hidden groove 24 is connected with the screw hole 23 through a through hole 25. A positioning screw 26 passes through the through hole 25 and is screwed into the screw hole 23. The head of the positioning screw 26 is located in the hidden groove 24 and fits with the bottom of the hidden groove 24. This fixing method facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the positioning block 22. Only the positioning screw 26 needs to be unscrewed from the screw hole 23, and the resistance block 19 can be pulled out of the medicine outlet 3 through the positioning block 22, which facilitates the disassembly of the resistance block 19.

[0038] A through hole 28 is provided in the middle of the lower limit plate 6, and an arc-shaped pressing groove 29 is provided in the center of the lower surface of the medicine seat 1. The diameter of the pressing groove 29 is smaller than the diameter of the through hole 28. The existence of the pressing groove 29 facilitates the placement of the fingers of the person taking the medicine, and makes it easier to apply pressure on the lower surface of the medicine seat 1, thereby facilitating the rotation operation of the rotating body 4.

[0039] A plurality of anti-slip protrusions 30 are provided on the outer wall of the rotating body 4 and are evenly distributed in a circumferential manner. The presence of the anti-slip protrusions 30 can effectively increase the friction between the fingers and the outer wall of the rotating body 4, making it easier to rotate the rotating body 4.
