[0002] In daily life, medicine boxes are commonly used tools for storing medicines. Especially for people who need to take medicines on time for a long time, such as the elderly and patients with chronic diseases, the convenience and functionality of the medicine box are crucial.

[0003] Currently, medicine boxes on the market have many structural and functional deficiencies. Most use traditional hinged doors, which leave the medicine box inside the box. Retrieving medicine requires reaching inside, making it difficult, especially for people with limited mobility or poor vision.

[0004] At the same time, existing medicine boxes lack effective missed medication detection and warning functions. Many people who need to take medication on time often miss doses due to memory loss, busy schedules, and other reasons. This can affect treatment effectiveness and even worsen the condition. While some medicine boxes have simple reminder functions, they cannot accurately detect whether medication has been removed, making it difficult to provide truly effective missed dose warnings.

[0005] Furthermore, while some medicine boxes feature a slide-out mechanism, this mechanism is not linked to the lid opening action, requiring a separate operation of the slide-out mechanism, which increases the number of steps and makes it less convenient to use. Furthermore, some medicine boxes have unstable door panels after opening, making them prone to accidental closures, hindering medication removal. Furthermore, there is a lack of effective detection and warning systems for the slide-out panel to reset, which can result in the panel not being reset, exposing medications to the external environment and compromising their storage.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application and are not to be construed as limiting the present application. On the contrary, the embodiments of the present application include all variations, modifications, and equivalents that fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

[0032] The following describes a lid-opening linkage type medicine leakage warning medicine box according to an embodiment of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a medicine box with a lid-opening linkage and a medicine leakage warning device in an embodiment of the present application may include a box body 1, a sliding door panel 2, a pulling block 3, a slide-out plate 4, a linkage device 5, a medicine box 6, a medicine leakage detection and warning device 7 and a reset spring 8.

[0034] It is understood that, in the initial state, the sliding door panel 2 is in the closed position, abutting the front side of the box body 1. At this point, the first slider 21 at the top of the sliding door panel 2 is located at the top of the first vertical slot 11, and the second slider 22 at the bottom is located at the lower entrance of the first vertical slot 11. Under the tension of the return spring 8, the slide-out plate 4 retracts to the innermost side of the second horizontal slot 14 via the third slider 41, and the medicine box 6 is completely stored inside the box body 1.

[0035] To access medication, the user pulls downward on the pull block 3 on the outer wall of the case 1. This pull block 3, via the connecting rod 31, drives the second slider 22 in synchronous motion. At this point, the first slider 21 at the top of the sliding door panel 2 slides downward along the first vertical slot 11, while the second slider 22 at the bottom enters the first horizontal slot 12 from the bottom of the first vertical slot 11 and slides inward along the slot. As the sliding process continues, the sliding door panel 2 gradually tilts downward and inward, ultimately reaching an open position parallel to the bottom wall of the case 1.

[0036] As the sliding door panel 2 slides downward and opens, the two linkage assemblies 51 of the linkage device 5 operate synchronously. Because the upper ends of the linkage assemblies 51 are movably connected to the third slider 41 of the slide-out panel 4, and the lower ends are movably connected to one side of the sliding door panel 2, the downward movement of the sliding door panel 2 is converted by the linkage assemblies 51 into an outward thrust on the slide-out panel 4, causing the slide-out panel 4 to slide outward along the second horizontal slot 14 via the third slider 41. This in turn drives the medicine box 6 fixed to the slide-out panel 4 to synchronously extend out of the housing 1, allowing the user to easily access the medicines in the medicine storage compartment 61.

[0037] When sliding door 2 is opened, missed medication detection and warning device 7 enters operation. Controller 73 begins monitoring medication removal within the preset medication time window. Sensors 74 at the bottom of corresponding compartments 61 of medicine box 6 detect whether medication has been removed in real time and transmit a signal to controller 73. If controller 73 does not receive a medication removal signal from a designated compartment 61 within the preset time window, a missed medication warning is immediately triggered. This triggers the LED indicator 71 on the outer wall of box 1 to flash and buzzer 72 to sound a warning.

[0038] After medication removal is complete, the user pushes the sliding door panel 2 upward, causing the first slider 21 to slide upward along the first vertical slot 11. The second slider 22 then slides outward along the first horizontal slot 12 and returns to the entrance of the first vertical slot 11, gradually returning the sliding door panel 2 to its closed position. During this process, the tension of the return spring 8 drives the slide-out plate 4 to slide inward along the second horizontal slot 14 via the third slider 41, allowing the medicine box 6 to be re-stored within the box body 1, completing the entire medication removal process.

[0039] In one embodiment of the present application, Figures 1-4 As shown, the two linkage assemblies 51 each include a connecting plate 511 , a slot 512 , a bottom rod 513 and a rotating rod 514 .

[0040] It is understood that the two linkage assemblies 51 are symmetrically located at both ends of the interior of the housing 1, and their operation is synchronized and consistent. Taking the single-sided linkage assembly 51 as an example, when the sliding door panel 2 slides downward, the bottom of the sliding door panel 2 and the side wall of the bottom rod 513 move relative to each other and push the bottom rod 513.

[0041] Because the bottom rod 513 is fixed to the bottom of the connecting plate 511, this thrust drives the connecting plate 511 to rotate about the rotating rod 514 (the rotating rod 514 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the box body 1, forming a fixed fulcrum). At this time, the empty slot 512 on the connecting plate 511 rotates synchronously with the connecting plate 511, and the third slider 41 (one of the two third sliders 41 on both sides of the slide-out plate 4) slidably connected to the empty slot 512 is pushed by the inner wall of the empty slot 512.

[0042] Since the third slider 41 is also restricted by the second horizontal slot 14 of the box body 1 , the rotational movement of the slot 512 is converted into horizontal sliding of the third slider 41 along the second horizontal slot 14 , thereby driving the slide-out plate 4 to move outward.

[0043] When the sliding door panel 2 is reset upward, the bottom rod 513 moves in the opposite direction with the sliding door panel 2, pulling the connecting plate 511 to rotate in the opposite direction around the rotating rod 514, and the empty slot 512 pulls the slide-out plate 4 to slide inward through the third slider 41 to complete the reset.

[0044] In one embodiment of the present application, Figures 1-4 As shown, a magnet 81 is provided on the back of the slide-out plate 4 , and a buffer column 82 is provided on the side wall of the box body 1 at a position corresponding to the reset position of the slide-out plate 4 , and a Hall sensor 83 is embedded in the buffer column 82 .

[0045] It can be understood that in the initial state, the slide-out plate 4 is in the reset position, the magnet 81 on its back corresponds to the buffer column 82 on the side wall of the box body 1, and the Hall sensor 83 in the buffer column 82 can detect the magnetic field signal of the magnet 81 and transmit the signal to the controller 73. At this time, the controller 73 determines that the slide-out plate 4 is in the reset state.

[0046] When the sliding door panel 2 is opened, the slide-out plate 4 slides outward with the linkage action, and the magnet 81 moves synchronously with the slide-out plate 4, gradually moving away from the buffer column 82. The magnetic field signal detected by the Hall sensor 83 disappears, and the controller 73 starts timing after receiving the signal change.

[0047] If the sliding door panel 2 is opened for more than a preset time and the Hall sensor 83 does not detect the magnetic field signal of the magnet 81 approaching (i.e., the slide-out panel 4 is not reset), the controller 73 determines that the slide-out panel 4 is in an unreset state and immediately triggers the unreset warning mechanism, reminding the user to reset the slide-out panel 4 through a preset warning method.

[0048] When the user pushes the slide-out plate 4 to reset, the magnet 81 approaches the buffer column 82 again, and the Hall sensor 83 detects the magnetic field signal again and transmits it to the controller 73. The controller 73 stops the timing and cancels the unreset warning.

[0049] In one embodiment of the present application, Figures 1-4As shown, a limiting plate 32 is provided on one side of the side wall of the box body 1 close to the pulling block 3 .

[0050] It is understood that in the initial state, the limit plate 32 is in the unlocked position parallel to the side wall of the box body 1 and does not affect the sliding of the pull block 3. When the user pulls the pull block 3 downward until it reaches the bottom limit position of the outer wall of the box body 1, the sliding door panel 2 is fully opened to the preset position.

[0051] At this point, the user can rotate the limit plate 32 toward the pull block 3. Because the limit plate 32 is rotatably mounted on the side wall of the box 1, its rotation trajectory precisely covers the bottom area of ​​the pull block 3. When the limit plate 32 is rotated to a position perpendicular to the side wall of the box 1, the end of the limit plate 32 will engage with the slot at the bottom of the pull block 3 or abut against the outer wall of the pull block 3, forming a mechanical locking structure.

[0052] Through this snap-fitting action, the pulling block 3 is restricted at the bottom position and cannot rebound upward, and then the position of the second slider 22 is fixed by the connecting rod 31, thereby finally achieving stable fixation of the sliding door panel 2 in the open state, avoiding accidental closing of the door panel due to external force or component rebound during the medicine removal process.

[0053] When the sliding door panel 2 needs to be closed, the limit plate 32 is rotated in the opposite direction to return it to the initial unlocking position, thereby releasing the clamping restriction on the pulling block 3, and the pulling block 3 can slide upward to drive the door panel to reset.

[0054] In one embodiment of the present application, Figures 1-4 As shown, the medicine storage compartment 61 inside the medicine box 6 is divided into three independent compartments, corresponding to the three medication time nodes of morning, noon and evening respectively. A clear time mark 62 is provided on the outside of each compartment, such as the words "morning", "noon" and "evening". Users can quickly identify the medicines to be taken in the corresponding time period according to the mark to avoid taking the wrong medicine.

[0055] Each key medicine storage compartment 61 is equipped with a medicine detection sensor 74, a miniature pressure sensor. When medicine is placed in a medicine storage compartment 61, its own weight exerts pressure on the miniature pressure sensor, which continuously transmits a pressure signal to the system. When a user removes medicine from the corresponding medicine storage compartment 61 according to the time stamp 62, the pressure disappears, and the miniature pressure sensor immediately senses the pressure change and sends a signal, accurately detecting the access status of the medicine in the medicine storage compartment 61.

[0056] The structural design of the three independent compartments, combined with the time mark 62, realizes the time-sharing and classified storage and retrieval guidance of medicines; and the setting of the micro pressure sensor provides an accurate signal source for subsequent missed dose detection, ensuring that the system can grasp the retrieval status of key medicines in real time.

[0057] In one embodiment of the present application, Figures 1-4 As shown, the controller 73 includes a timer module 75 for setting a medication time and triggering a medication reminder signal when the set time is reached.

[0058] It is understood that the timer module 75 built into the controller 73 is the core component for managing medication time. The user can enter the specific time of taking medication every day in the timer module 75 through preset operations, such as 8 am, 12 pm, 8 pm, etc.

[0059] The timer module 75 continuously monitors the current time. When the system time matches the preset medication time, the timer module 75 sends a time trigger signal to the controller 73. Upon receiving the signal, the controller 73 immediately activates the medication reminder mechanism, triggering the preset medication reminder signal to remind the user to take the medication at the corresponding time.

[0060] During the entire process, the timer module 75 accurately records and compares the time to ensure that the trigger information is accurately transmitted to the controller 73 at the set medication time, ensuring the timeliness and accuracy of the medication reminder and realizing effective management of the user's medication time.

[0061] In one embodiment of the present application, Figures 1-4 As shown, a handle 15 with anti-skid texture is provided on the top of the box body 1, and a sealing strip is provided on the contact edge between the sliding door panel 2 and the box body 1.

[0062] It is understood that the handle 15 on the top of the box body 1 is provided with a non-slip texture on its surface and is fixedly connected to the top of the box body 1. When the medicine box needs to be moved, the user can directly hold the handle 15. The non-slip texture can increase the friction between the hand and the handle 15, preventing the medicine box from slipping during transportation, making it easier to carry and move the medicine box to the desired location.

[0063] A sealing strip is fixed to the edge where the sliding door panel 2 contacts the housing 1. When the sliding door panel 2 is closed, the sealing strip tightly adheres to the contact surface between the sliding door panel 2 and the housing 1, forming a seal that effectively prevents external dust and moisture from entering the housing 1, protecting the medications in the medicine box 6 from moisture and dust that could affect their effectiveness. When the sliding door panel 2 is pulled open, the sealing strip moves synchronously with the sliding door panel 2, releasing its contact with the housing 1. When the sliding door panel 2 is closed again, the sealing strip re-engages the housing 1 and tightly adheres, restoring the seal.

[0064] In one embodiment of the present application, Figures 1-4 As shown, an operation panel 76 is provided on one side of the top of the box body 1 , on which a time setting button 77 and an alarm release button 78 are integrated, both of which are electrically connected to the controller 73 .

[0065] It can be understood that the operation panel 76 on the top side of the box 1 is the core component for user interaction with the device, and the time setting button 77 and alarm release button 78 integrated on its surface are electrically connected to the controller 73 inside the box 1 through wires.

[0066] When the user needs to set a medication time, they press the time setting button 77, which sends an electrical signal to the controller 73. After receiving the signal, the controller 73 enters the time configuration mode. The user can adjust the hour and minute parameters by pressing the button multiple times. The change in the electrical signal generated by each press is recognized by the controller 73 as a time increase or decrease instruction. When the setting is completed, the user stops the operation and the controller 73 automatically saves the currently set medication time parameters.

[0067] When the drug leakage detection and warning device 7 triggers an alarm (LED indicator 71 flashes or buzzer 72 sounds), the user presses the alarm release button 78, which sends an interrupt signal to the controller 73. Upon receiving the signal, the controller 73 immediately cuts off the driving current to the warning element, causing the LED indicator 71 to stop flashing and the buzzer 72 to stop sounding, thus completing the alarm release operation.

[0068] During the entire interactive process, the operation panel 76 serves as a signal input carrier, accurately transmitting user instructions to the controller 73 through electrical connection. The controller 73 analyzes and executes the signals according to the preset program to achieve precise control of time setting and alarm cancellation.

[0069] Specifically, during the actual implementation process, the elderly person's children or family members use the time setting button 77 on the top operation panel 76 of the box body 1 to set the time for taking medicine in the morning, noon and evening in the timer module 75 of the controller 73.

[0070] In the initial state, the sliding door panel 2 is fitted and closed against the box body 1, the first slider 21 is located at the top of the first vertical slide groove 11, the second slider 22 is at the lower entrance of the first vertical slide groove 11, and the slide-out plate 4 is retracted to the inner side of the second horizontal slide groove 14 through the third slider 41 under the tension of the return spring 8, and the medicine storage grid 61 (with time mark 62) of the medicine box 6 is stored in the box body 1.

[0071] When the timer module 75 reaches the set time, the controller 73 triggers the medication reminder. The user pulls the pull block 3 downward, which drives the second slider 22 via the connecting rod 31. The first slider 21 moves downward along the first vertical slot 11, and the second slider 22 slides inward into the first horizontal slot 12, causing the sliding door panel 2 to tilt until it is parallel to the bottom wall of the box 1. Simultaneously, the connecting plate 511 of the linkage assembly 51 of the linkage device 5 rotates around the rotating rod 514. The empty slot 512 pushes the third slider 41, which drives the slide-out plate 4 outward along the second horizontal slot 14, and the medicine box 6 is extended from the box 1.

[0072] The user rotates the stop plate 32 to engage the pull block 3 to secure the door panel. The user then removes medication according to the time stamp 62 of the medication compartment 61. A medication detection sensor 74 (a micro pressure sensor) at the bottom of the medication compartment 61 detects the loss of pressure and sends feedback to the controller 73. If medication is not removed within the preset time window, the controller 73 triggers the LED indicator 71 to flash and the buzzer 72 to sound an alarm, which can be turned off by pressing the alarm release button 78.

[0073] After medication removal is complete, the retaining plate 32 is rotated in the opposite direction to release the retaining plate, pushing the sliding door panel 2 upward. The first slider 21 moves upward along the first vertical slot 11, and the second slider 22 retracts to the entrance of the first vertical slot 11, closing the door panel. The return spring 8 pulls the slide-out plate 4 back into position. The magnet 81 on the back of the slide-out plate 4 approaches the Hall effect sensor 83 on the buffer column 82 on the side wall of the box 1, confirming the reset. Throughout this process, the handle 15 on the top of the box 1 facilitates movement, and the sealing strips on the edge of the sliding door panel 2 maintain a tight seal within the box 1.

[0074] It should be noted that the control method of the present application can be automatically controlled by a controller, and the control method of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by technicians in this field, which is common knowledge in this field. In addition, the present application is mainly used to protect mechanical structures, so the control method and circuit connection are no longer explained in detail in this application.

[0075] In summary, the embodiment of the present application is a medicine box with a lid-opening linkage and a medicine leakage warning. The medicine box realizes the linkage between lid opening and medicine box sliding out, which makes it convenient to take medicine. The medicine leakage detection is accurate, and an alarm is issued if the medicine is not taken out within the time limit to avoid missed doses. The door panel can be opened and fixed, and there is a reminder if the sliding panel is not reset. The time-divided medicine storage compartments are marked for easy distinction. It has a handle and is well sealed, which is convenient for carrying and storing medicines.
