Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical supplies, and particularly to an intelligent reminder medicine box for the elderly. Background Art

[0002] With the intensification of social aging, the demand for chronic disease medications for the elderly has increased. However, due to the decline in the memory of the elderly, the situation of missed or incorrect medication often occurs during medication. Traditional medicine boxes rely on manual management, which greatly increases the labor intensity of medical staff, resulting in high labor intensity of medical staff. At the same time, existing traditional medicine boxes often lack a feedback mechanism and cannot confirm whether the elderly have taken the medicine. For some relatively complex medication regimens, such as taking medicine multiple times a day or taking medicine every other day, the elderly are easily confused, leading to incorrect medication.

[0003] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes an intelligent reminder medicine box for the elderly. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to provide an intelligent reminder medicine box for the elderly to solve the problems of easy incorrect or missed medication when the elderly take medicine.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An intelligent reminder medicine box for the elderly, comprising a box body. Inside the box body, a central processing module, a timing module, a power module, and a storage module are provided. A number of medicine box slots are arranged in an array on the box body. Inside each of the number of medicine box slots, a medicine box is slidably connected. The medicine box is connected to the inner wall of the medicine box slot through an electric telescopic rod. Inside each medicine box, a weighing plate is connected through a spring. A weight sensor is provided below the weighing plate. The weight sensor can control the electric telescopic rod. An audio and a number of reminder lights are provided on the box body. A reminder light is correspondingly provided above each of the number of medicine box slots. The central processing module can directly or through the timing module control the electric telescopic rod, the audio, and the reminder lights. The power module is used to supply energy to the electrical components inside the box body. The communication module is used for data exchange with the outside. The storage module is used to store the medication plan and personal information. The central processing module includes an integrated microcontroller, a control display screen, and a setting button. The integrated microcontroller is used for data processing. The control display screen is used to display the medication plan and personal information. The setting button is used to modify the medication plan and personal information.

[0007] Further, there are a total of 28 medicine boxes, arranged in a 4×7 array. Horizontally, labels for the seven days of a week are correspondingly set, and vertically, labels corresponding to the four time periods of morning, noon, afternoon, and evening of a day are set.

[0008] Further, a time display screen is provided on the box body, and the time display screen is used to display the current time in real time.

[0009] Furthermore, the integrated microcontroller is an integrated microcontroller of the STM32 series.

[0010] Furthermore, the power module is a rechargeable lithium battery, and the power module is charged through a USB interface.

[0011] Furthermore, a card slot is provided on the box body, and the card slot is used to place a card with the information of the elderly.

[0012] Furthermore, a spring is also connected between the medicine box and the medicine box slot.

[0013] Principle and beneficial effects of this technical solution: In the device of the present invention, 28 medicine boxes are correspondingly arranged, and the medicine boxes are used to store the medicines to be taken, which can meet the one-week medication plan of the elderly. The medication plan and the personal information of the elderly are input from the outside through the communication module and stored by the storage module. In the present invention, a central control module is provided. By pressing the setting button in the central control module, the electric telescopic rod at the corresponding position extends to open the medicine box, then the medicine is put in, and the medicine box is closed by pressing the setting button; after the setting is completed, the central control module will control the electric telescopic rod, the speaker and the warning light through the timing module. After the timing module reaches the specified time of the input medication plan, the central control module controls the electric telescopic rod at the corresponding position to extend through the timing module, so that the medicine box opens. At the same time, the speaker will emit a sound to remind the elderly to take medicine, and the warning light at the corresponding position will flash to remind the elderly to take medicine. After the elderly take the medicine, the weight sensor detects whether the weight in the medicine box becomes zero. If it is not zero, it means that the medicine has not been taken completely, then the weight sensor will not transmit information to the central processing module, the telescopic rod will not retract, the warning light will continue to flash, and the speaker will continue to play the warning sound. If it is zero, it means that the medicine has been taken completely, the weight sensor will transmit information to the central processing module, and the central processing module will control the electric telescopic rod to retract and close the medicine box again. This cycle is repeated to complete the one-week medication plan. Description of the Drawings

[0018] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0019] As Figures 1-3 shown, a special intelligent reminder medicine box for the elderly includes a box body 1. Inside the box body 1, there are a central processing module, a timing module, a power module, and a storage module. The central processing module includes an integrated microcontroller of the STM32 series arranged inside the box body 1, a control display screen 2 arranged outside the box body 1, and a setting button 3 arranged below the control display screen 2. The integrated microcontroller is used for information processing among internal electrical components. The control display screen 2 is used to display the medication plan and personal information of the elderly. The setting button 3 is used to directly control the electric telescopic rod 10, the reminder lamp 13, and the speaker 5 in the box body 1. The timing module is used to record the current time in real time and has a timing function. The power module is a rechargeable lithium battery 6, and this rechargeable lithium battery 6 can be charged through a USB interface 7. Data can be exchanged with the outside through a communication module. Through the communication module, the medication plan and information of the elderly can be input into the device and stored by the storage module. The storage module is used to store the medication plan and personal information of the elderly. A card slot 14 is arranged above the control display screen 2. The card slot 14 is used to insert a card with the medication plan or information of the elderly. A time display screen 4 is arranged at the lower right of the control display screen 2. The time display screen 4 is used to display the current time in real time. Two speakers 5 are arranged on the right side of the time display screen 4. The rechargeable lithium battery 6 is located on the right side of the speaker 5. The USB interface 7 is arranged on the front side of the rechargeable lithium battery 6. 28 medicine box slots 8 are arranged above the time display screen 4, which are arranged in a 4×7 array. Reminder lamps 13 are arranged at the tops of the medicine box slots 8. A week's seven-day labels are arranged horizontally corresponding to the outside of the entire medicine box slot 8 area, and labels corresponding to four time periods of morning, noon, afternoon, and evening in a day are arranged vertically. Medicine boxes 9 are slidably connected inside the medicine box slots 8. One side inside the medicine box 9 is connected to the inside of the medicine box slot 8 through an electric telescopic rod 10. Springs are also arranged on the upper and lower sides of the electric telescopic rod 10. The springs connect the medicine box 9 to the medicine box slot 8. The electric telescopic rod 10 is controlled by the central processing module. A weighing plate 11 is connected inside the medicine box 9 through a spring. A weight sensor 12 is embedded below the weighing plate 11. Wireless communication can be carried out between the weight sensor 12 and the central processing module.

[0020] The specific implementation process is as follows: First, the medication plan and the information of the elderly can be input through an external communication module and stored by the storage module. The control display screen 2 shows the medication plan of the elderly and the personal information of the elderly. By setting the button 3, all the electric telescopic rods 10 in the medicine box slot 8 are extended, and all the medicine boxes 9 are opened. Then, according to the medication plan, the required medications are placed in the corresponding medicine boxes 9. After the placement is completed, all the medicine boxes 9 are closed by setting the button 3, and the medication plan can be started. The timing module will record the current time in real time and display it through the time display screen 4. When the time specified in the medication plan is reached, the timing module transmits information to the integrated microcontroller in the central processing module. The integrated microcontroller controls the opening of the corresponding medicine box 9, and at the same time, it also controls the sound device 5 to emit a sound to prompt taking medicine, and the corresponding warning light 13 flashes to remind the elderly to take medicine. After a period of time, the weight sensor 12 will detect whether the weight in the current medicine box 9 returns to zero. If it does not return to zero, it means that the medicine has not been taken up completely. Then the weight sensor 12 will not send an instruction to the integrated microcontroller, the telescopic rod will not retract, the medicine box 9 will not close, and the flashing light will continue to flash, and the sound device 5 will continue to emit a warning sound. If it returns to zero, it means that the medicine has been taken up completely. The weight sensor 12 sends an instruction to the integrated microcontroller, so as to close the medicine box 9, the warning light 13 and the sound device 5. This cycle is repeated to complete the medication plan within a week.
