Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and particularly relates to a medicine cup for Alzheimer's patients. Background Art

[0002] Alzheimer's disease, also known as Alzheimer's, is a common disease among the elderly. Its main symptom is memory loss. Usually, multiple drugs need to be taken in combination to maintain the condition. However, Alzheimer's patients often cannot remember clearly how many kinds and how much of the drugs they need to take. Without the care of caregivers, Alzheimer's patients are likely to forget to take medicine regularly, which will exacerbate the condition.

[0003] However, for hospitals or nursing homes with a large number of Alzheimer's patients, since a large number of Alzheimer's patients need to be taken care of taking medicine at multiple time periods every day, if the drugs are distributed to each patient one by one and the patient is taken care of taking them, it is easy to cause the last patient in line to be unable to take medicine on time. Moreover, there may be certain differences in the types and amounts of drugs that each patient needs to take. Therefore, errors are likely to occur when distributing drugs to a large number of patients. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art and provide a medicine cup for Alzheimer's patients.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A medicine cup for Alzheimer's patients, including a cup body, a cup lid and a cup bottom oppositely installed on the cup body. The cup body and the cup bottom are respectively provided with a corresponding medicine storage cavity and a medicine storage chamber. A partition is arranged in the cup body. The partition divides the medicine storage cavity into several medicine dispensing cavities. Medicine holes are opened on the partition. The medicine storage chamber is communicated to the cup lid through the medicine dispensing cavities and the medicine holes. An insertion plate for closing the medicine holes is inserted into the partition.

[0007] Preferably, a slot extending to the medicine hole is opened in the partition. The insertion plate is inserted into the slot. Rotating plates, a first clamping plate and a second clamping plate located in the slot are respectively arranged on both sides of the insertion plate. A clamping block adapted to the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate is arranged on the insertion plate. The rotating plate rotates and abuts against the insertion plate and drives the clamping block to abut and be limited to the first clamping plate or the second clamping plate.

[0008] Preferably, the rotating plate is rotatably arranged in an installation groove. A spring for abutting against the rotating plate is arranged in the installation groove.

[0009] Preferably, a sliding groove is arranged on the insertion plate. A limiting plate inserted into the slot is slidably arranged in the sliding groove. The limiting plate presses against the insertion plate and drives the clamping block to abut and be limited to the first clamping plate or the second clamping plate.

[0010] Preferably, the slot is a conical structure that is larger on the outside and smaller on the inside. A sealing strip is fixed on the insertion plate, and the sealing strip abuts inwardly to close the slot.

[0011] Preferably, a hollow inner column is provided in the cup body. A third partition plate for dividing its interior into multiple inner cavities is provided in the inner column. Desiccants are placed in the inner cavities and correspond to the medicine storage cavity and the medicine storage chamber one by one. Through holes communicating the inner cavities with the medicine storage cavity and the medicine storage chamber are provided on the inner column.

[0012] Preferably, the lower end of the inner column is closed, and an inner cover for closing the inner cavity is provided at the upper end.

[0013] Preferably, a clamping groove is provided at the lower end of the inner column, and a clamping buckle adapted to the clamping groove is provided on the bottom of the cup. The clamping buckle is snap-fitted and fixed in the clamping groove.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0031] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0032] In the description of this specification, the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or unit referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0033] As Figures 1 to 9 shown, a medicine cup for Alzheimer's patients includes a cup body 2, a cup lid 1 and a cup bottom 3 oppositely installed on the cup body 2. A plurality of partition plates one 21 and partition plates two 31 radially distributed around are respectively provided in the cup body 2 and the cup bottom 3, and the partition plates one 21 and the partition plates two 31 are vertically and correspondingly distributed up and down. Corresponding medicine storage cavities 211 and medicine storage chambers 311 are respectively provided on the cup body 2 and the cup bottom 3. That is, the partition plates one 21 divide the inside of the cup body 2 into a plurality of medicine storage cavities 211, and the partition plates two 31 divide the inside of the cup bottom 3 into a plurality of medicine storage chambers 311. The medicine storage cavities 211 and the medicine storage chambers 311 are correspondingly communicated up and down one by one.

[0034] A variety of types of drugs can be correspondingly placed in the medicine storage chambers 311. That is, one type of drug is correspondingly placed in one medicine storage chamber 311, so as to place the various drugs that the patient needs to take in the corresponding medicine storage chambers 311 respectively. The dosage of the drugs can be the amount for several days or a course of treatment. And the cup bottom 3 is made of a transparent material. Through the transparent cup bottom 3, the stock of the drugs in the cup bottom can be more directly observed, so that medical staff can timely supplement the corresponding drugs, making the use of this embodiment more convenient.

[0035] A partition plate 23 is provided in the cup body 2. The partition plate 23 is horizontally arranged in the cup body 2. The partition plate 23 divides the medicine storage cavity 211 into several sub - medicine cavities 24. A medicine hole 232 is opened on the partition plate 23. The contour of the medicine hole 232 is larger than the contour of the drug. The drugs in the medicine storage chamber 311 can be poured into the respective sub - medicine cavities 24 through the medicine hole 232. That is, the medicine storage chamber 311 is communicated to the cup lid 1 through the sub - medicine cavities 24 and the medicine hole 232.

[0036] The amount of drugs required for the patient to take once is pre - poured into the sub - medicine cavities 24. That is, the partition plate 23 divides the medicine storage cavity 211 into a plurality of sub - medicine cavities 24. For example, if the patient needs to take medicine four times a day on time, then one medicine storage cavity 211 can be divided into four sub - medicine cavities 24, so as to pour the drugs into the respective sub - medicine cavities 24 at one time, which can meet the drug distribution and taking of the patient for one day.

[0037] The medicine dispensing cavity 24 can pour the medicine onto the cup lid 1 through the medicine holes 232. The cup lid 1 is snap-connected and fixed to the cup body 2. The interior of the cup lid 1 is a hollow conical structure with a smaller upper part and a larger lower part. The cup lid 1 can be used to pour and store the required medicine, so that the medicine to be taken by the patient can be uniformly distributed and stored through the cup lid 1.

[0038] An insertion plate 26 for closing the medicine holes 232 is inserted into the partition plate 23. Each medicine dispensing cavity 24 and the medicine storage cavity 311 can communicate with the cup lid 1 through the medicine holes 232 on the partition plate 23. Thus, the medicine to be taken by the patient can be pre-poured from the medicine storage cavity 311 into the corresponding medicine dispensing cavities 24 in a certain quantity. And the number of medicine dispensing cavities 24 on the same layer is multiple, that is, the medicine dispensing cavities 24 on the same layer correspond to various types of medicine to be taken each time. When taking medicine, by pulling out the insertion plates 26 inserted in the partition plates 23 on the same layer, the medicine to be taken at that time in the medicine dispensing cavities 24 on the same layer can be poured into the cup lid 1, that is, the various medicines to be taken this time are uniformly poured into the cup lid 1, so that medical staff can quickly and accurately distribute the medicine needed by the patient, improving the convenience of medical staff taking care of the patient's medicine taking to ensure that each patient can take medicine on time.

[0039] During relatively idle time, the medicine to be taken in multiple time periods of a day is pre-poured from the medicine storage cavity 311 into each medicine dispensing cavity 24 one by one. When a large number of patients need to take medicine, by pulling out the insertion plates 26 on the same layer, rapid distribution of medicine can be achieved, that is, the situation of making mistakes in distributing medicine is greatly reduced, and the work intensity of medical staff is reduced.

[0040] To improve the reliability of the use of the insertion plate 26, a slot 231 extending to the medicine hole 232 is formed in the partition plate 23. The insertion plate 26 is inserted into the slot 231 to separate and block the medicine hole 232 by inserting the insertion plate 26 into the slot 231. On both sides of the insertion plate 26, there are a rotating plate 25, a first clamping plate 233 and a second clamping plate 235 located in the slot 231. The rotating plate 25 is arranged on the lower side of the insertion plate 26, and the first clamping plate 233 and the second clamping plate 235 are located on the upper side of the insertion plate 26. The insertion plate 26 is provided with a clamping block 261 adapted to the first clamping plate 233 and the second clamping plate 235. The clamping block 261 can be fixed in the slot 231 by abutting against the first clamping plate 233 or the second clamping plate 235.

[0041] Specifically, the rotating plate 25 is rotatably arranged in the installation groove 237. A spring 251 that abuts against the rotating plate 25 is arranged in the installation groove 237. The spring 251 drives the rotating plate 25 to rotate upward to abut against the plug board 26, that is, the rotating plate 25 rotates to abut against the plug board 26 and drives the clamping block 261 to abut upward and be limited on the first clamping plate 233 or the second clamping plate 235. And by the clamping block 261 abutting and being limited on the first clamping plate 233 or the second clamping plate 235, it is avoided that the plug board 26 directly slips out of the plug slot 231, that is, the reliability of the plugging and fixing of the plug board 26 is improved to ensure the reliability of the use of this embodiment.

[0042] And when the clamping block 261 abuts and is limited on the first clamping plate 233, the plug board 26 plugs and closes the medicine hole 232 (refer to Figure 7 as shown). At this time, the internal medicine of this embodiment cannot be transferred through the medicine hole 232; when the plug board 26 is pressed downward against the rotating plate 25 and moved outward, the clamping block 261 can abut and be limited on the second clamping plate 235 (refer to the state schematic diagrams of Figure 8 , Figure 9 ). At this time, the plug 26 is away from the medicine hole 232, that is, the medicine in the medicine dispensing cavity 24 can be poured into the cup lid 1 through the medicine hole 232, so as to facilitate the rapid dispensing and use of the medicine.

[0043] Through the cooperative use among the plug board 26, the rotating plate 25, the first clamping plate 233, and the second clamping plate 235, the reliability of the plug board 26 closing the medicine hole 232 is improved. And when the medicine needs to be dispensed, by moving the plug board 26 outward, the dispensing of the medicine in the corresponding medicine dispensing cavity 24 can be realized, so as to improve the convenience of medicine dispensing and use.

[0044] For the convenience of the plugging use of the plug board 26, the first clamping plate 233 and the second clamping plate 235 are respectively provided with an inclined surface 234 and an inclined surface 236 that face outward and are inclined. At the same time, the clamping block 261 is provided with a guiding surface 262 that is adapted to the first clamping plate 233 and the second clamping plate 235. Through the cooperation between the guiding surface 262 and the first clamping plate 233 or the cooperation between the guiding surface 262 and the second clamping plate 235, the plug board 26 can be plugged into the plug slot 231 more smoothly.

[0045] To improve the reliability of the use of the plug board 26, a chute 264 is provided on the plug board 26. The chute 264 is provided at the outer end of the plug board 26. A limiting plate 265 inserted into the slot 231 is slidably arranged in the chute 264. The limiting plate 265 presses against the plug board 26 and drives the clamping block 261 to abut and be limited against the first clamping plate 233 or the second clamping plate 235. That is, by sliding the limiting plate 265 into the slot 231 and abutting against the limiting plug board 26 upward, the downward displacement of the plug board 26 is restricted, thereby restricting the downward detachment of the clamping block 261 from the first clamping plate 233 or the second clamping plate 235, so as to lock and fix the plug board 26 in the slot 231, improving the reliability of the plug board 26 plugging and closing the medicine hole 232, and avoiding the plug board 26 easily falling out of the slot 231 due to external forces such as dropping, thereby interfering with the distribution and use effect of the medicine.

[0046] Furthermore, the slot 231 is a tapered structure that is large on the outside and small on the inside. By providing the tapered slot 231, the plug board 26 can rotate relatively up and down in the slot 231 better. That is, the clamping block 261 is abutted and fixed against the first clamping plate 233 or the second clamping plate 235 upward; the clamping block 261 is detached from the first clamping plate 233 or the second clamping plate 235 downward.

[0047] A sealing strip 263 is fixed on the plug board 26. When the plug board 26 is inserted into the slot 231 inward, the sealing strip 263 abuts and closes the slot 231 inward, so as to improve the sealing effect of storing medicine in the medicine distribution cavity 24 and ensure the storage and taking quality of the medicine.

[0048] A hollow inner column 4 is provided in the cup body 2. A third partition plate 41 for dividing its interior into a plurality of inner cavities 411 is provided in the inner column 4. Different types of medicines are stored through the cooperation of a plurality of corresponding medicine storage cavities 311, medicine storage cavities 211, and inner cavities 411, so as to avoid the interaction between medicines and ensure the reliability and safety of storing a variety of medicines.

[0049] And a desiccant is placed in the inner cavity 411 and corresponds to the medicine storage cavity 211 and the medicine storage cavity 311 one by one. That is, through holes 42 communicating the inner cavity 411 with the medicine storage cavity 211 and the medicine storage cavity 311 are provided on the inner column 4. The corresponding inner cavity 411 communicates with the medicine storage cavity 211 and the medicine storage cavity 311 through the through holes 42, and the medicinal desiccant placed in the inner cavity is used to dry the medicines stored in the medicine distribution cavity 24 and the medicine storage cavity 311, so as to further ensure the storage and taking quality of the medicine.

[0050] The lower end of the inner column 4 is closed and the upper end is provided with an inner cover 43 for closing the inner cavity 411. The inner cover 43 is buckled on the upper end of the inner column 4 to close the upper port of the inner cavity 411, and the buckled and fixed inner cover 43 is convenient to open, so that the desiccant inside can be replaced more conveniently.

[0051] A clamping groove 44 is provided at the lower end of the inner column 4, and a buckle 32 adapted to the clamping groove 44 is provided on the cup bottom 3. The buckle 32 is snap-fitted and fixed in the clamping groove 44 to firmly fix the cup bottom 3 to the inner column 4. At this time, the lower end of the first partition plate 21 is inserted into the corresponding second partition plate 31 up and down. Through the cooperation of the first partition plate 21 and the second partition plate 31, it is avoided that the medicine cavities 211 and the medicine storage cavities 311 that do not correspond up and down are communicated, that is, different types of medicines are prevented from being mixed with each other.

[0052] A ring sleeve 22 is provided on the outer periphery of the cup body 2. A jack 221 corresponding to the insertion plate 26 is opened on the ring sleeve 22. The inside and outside of the partition plate 23 are respectively fixed to the inner column 4 and the ring sleeve 22. The ring sleeve 22 is made of a transparent material. Through the setting of the transparent ring sleeve 22, it is convenient to more directly observe the quantity of the medicine distributed into the medicine dispensing cavity 24, and then more accurately and conveniently judge the dosage of the corresponding medicine, so that the distribution and taking operations of the medicine are more convenient.

[0053] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
