Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medicine boxes, and in particular to a smart medicine box with a mechanical marking function for recording medication use. Background Technology

[0002] With an aging population and an increasing number of patients with chronic diseases, taking medication on time and accurately every day has become a crucial aspect of health management. Traditional pillboxes have limited functionality, only providing dispensing and storage, and cannot offer medication reminders or records, making it easy for patients to miss doses, take the wrong dose, or take the same medication twice. To address this, various smart pillboxes have emerged on the market, typically integrating electronic reminders, lid opening detection, or manual button recording functions to improve medication adherence. For example, Chinese patent CN106344402B discloses a portable smart pillbox with a rotating lid.

[0003] However, regarding the medication markings on the aforementioned pillboxes, patients generally need to manually record them when taking the medication, such as the smart pillbox disclosed in Chinese patent CN116216093B. However, this recording method is prone to omissions, which can easily lead to situations such as duplicate medication or uncertainty about whether medication has been taken, which is detrimental to the patient's health. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The core of this invention lies in integrating the marking operation with the medication dispensing step. Medication marking is automated without additional operation during administration, solving the problem of missed marking in existing technologies. Furthermore, an alarm can be triggered to remind users of missed medication, specifying the exact medication in the missed compartment. Compared to existing technologies, this significantly reduces the safety risks associated with missed medication.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0006] A smart pillbox with a mechanical marking function for recording medication use includes a U-shaped shell with a controller. The inner wall of the U-shaped shell has seven slots, each containing a sub-pillbox. Each sub-pillbox has a double-ended elongated hole in the middle. A silicone sheet is fixedly embedded in the inner wall of the straight section of the double-ended elongated hole. One end of the U-shaped shell is threaded through a limit rod, and the end of the limit rod passes through multiple double-ended elongated holes and is inserted into the other end of the sub-pillbox. The sub-medicine box includes a box body, a frame ring surrounding the center of the box body, and an annular belt that moves through the frame ring. Multiple medicine compartments are cut into the end face of the box body. Gravity sensors are installed in the medicine compartments. Each medicine compartment is rotatably connected to a compartment cover near the center of the sub-medicine box. The other edges of the compartment covers engage with the corresponding medicine compartment openings. A Y-shaped pressure strip is provided between two compartment covers located on the same side of the silicone sheet. The Y-shaped pressure strip includes a gathering section fixedly connected to the frame ring and an arm fixedly connected to the end of the gathering section facing the center of the sub-medicine box. The two arms of the arm are respectively set along the edge of the rotating part of the compartment cover. A pressure strip matching the arm is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating shaft of the compartment cover. Warning lights are installed on each of the multiple compartment covers, and the warning lights are connected to the controller signal.

[0007] Furthermore, both ends of the double-ended elongated hole are semi-circular, the middle of the silicone sheet is rectangular, and the silicone sheet is located in the middle of the double-ended elongated hole.

[0008] Furthermore, the frame ring is a hollow structure, and the frame ring has three pairs of openings. One pair of openings is located on the outside of the box groove, and the other two pairs of openings are located on the side of the frame ring facing the box groove. The annular band folds outward at the three openings to form an outward convex section and two inward convex sections. The two inward convex sections are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sub-box with insert rods. The insert rods are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the frame ring with external pressure sensors. The external pressure sensors are connected to the controller signal.

[0009] Furthermore, the outer surface of the annular band located inside the frame ring is coated with a fluorescent coating, and the annular band is made of a non-elastic material. When the limiting rod contacts the semi-circular inner wall of the double-headed elongated hole near the convex section, the insert rod does not contact the double-headed elongated hole.

[0010] Furthermore, the agglomeration section is a rigid structure, the upper end of the arm bar is made of elastic material, the agglomeration section and the arm bar are filled with saturated air, and the two are interconnected.

[0011] Furthermore, an internal pressure sensor is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the gathering section away from the boom bar. A diaphragm that contacts the internal pressure sensor is also fixedly connected to the inner wall of the gathering section. A fixed isolation strip is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the middle of the boom bar. A movable isolation strip is fixedly connected between the fixed isolation strip and the middle of the diaphragm. The fixed isolation strip and the movable isolation strip divide the interior of the gathering section into two independent cavities. The movable isolation strip is made of a flexible, non-elastic material.

[0012] Furthermore, two airbag strips corresponding to the two cavities are fixedly connected to the upper end of the aggregation section, and two double-through pieces are fixedly embedded in the upper end of the aggregation section. The two double-through pieces correspond to the two airbag strips respectively, and the two airbag strips are in a relaxed state in the initial state.

[0013] Furthermore, the double-through section includes two pressure plates that are in contact with each other. Each pressure plate includes a variable joint layer and a bearing layer fixedly connected to the end of the variable joint layer. The two bearing layers are fixed to the upper and lower edges of the gathering section, respectively. Both pressure plates have air holes drilled on them. The two air holes are symmetrical. The variable joint layer is an elastic structure, and the bearing layer is a rigid structure.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this invention are: (1) This solution integrates the operation of marking medication with the steps of taking medication (pulling the medicine box + opening the lid), so that no additional operation is required when taking medication, and medication records can be automatically generated to solve the problem of missing marking after taking medication in the prior art. Furthermore, it can provide an alarm reminder after missing medication, and the alarm can be set to the specific medicine in the missing medicine compartment, so that patients can take the missed medication in a timely and accurate manner. Compared with the prior art, this solution greatly reduces the safety risks of missing medication. (2) In addition, under the action of the Y-shaped pressure strip, the human opening action is accurately monitored, distinguishing between accidental opening and normal medication, avoiding the risk of not knowing that there is no medicine to take, and the inflation change of the airbag strip can automatically form a conspicuous secondary visual mark when the lid is opened, which greatly reduces the risk of repeated medication.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The technical solutions will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0018] First implementation method: like Figures 1-3 A smart pillbox with a mechanical marking function for recording medication use includes a U-shaped shell 1 with a controller. The inner wall of the U-shaped shell 1 has seven slots 101, and each of the seven slots 101 has a sub-pillbox 2 inserted into it. The seven sub-pillboxes 2 correspond to the seven days of the week, Monday to Sunday, so that the smart pillbox can store a week's worth of medication at the same time without the need to refill it every day. For patients who need to take medication for a long time, this effectively reduces the inconvenience of using the pillbox.

[0019] like Figure 4 The sub-medicine box 2 has a double-headed elongated hole 201 drilled in the middle. A silicone sheet 202 is fixedly embedded in the inner wall of the straight section of the double-headed elongated hole 201. One end of the U-shaped shell 1 is threaded through a limiting rod 3. The end of the limiting rod 3 passes through multiple double-headed elongated holes 201 in sequence and is inserted into the other end of the sub-medicine box 2, so that the limiting rod 3 can be removed from the medicine box, and multiple sub-medicine boxes 2 can be removed as a whole, which is convenient for centralized filling of medicine. Both ends of the double-headed elongated hole 201 are semi-circular. The silicone sheet 202 is rectangular in the middle and is located in the middle of the double-headed elongated hole 201. The diameter of the limiting rod 3 is the same as the semi-circular diameter of the double-headed elongated hole 201 and is larger than the distance between the two double-headed elongated holes 201, so that the silicone sheet 202 can limit the sub-medicine box 2, so that it is not easy to loosen when inserted into the box groove 101 and can maintain relative stability with the U-shaped shell 1. like Figure 4 and Figure 6The sub-medicine box 2 includes a box body 21, a frame ring 22 surrounding the middle of the box body 21, and an annular belt 4 that moves through the frame ring 22. Multiple medicine compartments 203 are carved into the end face of the box body 21. Gravity sensors are installed in the medicine compartments 203, mainly for monitoring the weight of the medicine. This ensures that each medication record is generated only when the medicine has decreased, thus ensuring that the medication record is generated only after the patient has taken the medicine. This effectively avoids the situation where the sub-medicine box 2 is opened but the medicine has not been taken, thereby improving the reliability of the medication record and the accuracy of the medication record marking. The edges of the multiple medicine compartments 203 near the center of the sub-medicine box 2 are rotatably connected to the compartment covers 23. A torsion spring is provided at the rotating shaft to ensure that the cover can automatically reset after being opened, reducing the occurrence of accidental opening without human intervention and protecting the medicine inside from spillage. The other edges of the compartment covers 23 are engaged with the openings of the corresponding medicine compartments 203.

[0020] It is worth noting that, in order to ensure the stability of the connection between the lid 23 and the medicine compartment 203, magnetic sheets that attract each other can be fixedly embedded in the opposite positions of the two. The magnetic attraction can improve the stability of the connection between the lid 23 and the opening of the medicine compartment 203, effectively ensuring that the medicine inside the box will not spill when it is bumped or dropped to the ground.

[0021] Multiple compartment covers 23 are equipped with warning lights, which are connected to the controller signal. When the controller detects that the medication has not been taken on time, it can control the corresponding warning light to flash. This serves two purposes: firstly, to warn patients that the medication has not been taken, and secondly, to remind patients which specific medication has not been taken. Patients can then take the medication directly according to the warning light's indication. This effectively improves the accuracy of medication administration and avoids the occurrence of taking the wrong medication.

[0022] The controller can directly illuminate the warning light when medication is required, allowing patients to simply open the corresponding compartment cover 23 when taking their medication, reducing the difficulty for patients to remember their medication.

[0023] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 The frame ring 22 is a hollow structure with three pairs of openings. One pair of openings is located outside the box groove 101, and the other two pairs of openings are located on the side of the frame ring 22 facing the box groove 101. The annular band 4 is folded and extended outward at the three openings to form an outer convex section 401 and two inner convex sections 402. The two inner convex sections 402 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sub-medicine box 2 with a rod 403. When filling medicine next time, the annular band 4 can be pulled in the opposite direction through the inner convex sections 402 until the fluorescent coating on its surface is completely inserted into the frame ring. The rod 403 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the frame ring 22 with an external pressure sensor, which is connected to the controller signal.

[0024] The outer surface of the annular band 4 located inside the frame ring 22 is coated with a fluorescent coating, and the annular band 4 is made of a non-elastic material. When the limiting rod 3 contacts the semi-circular inner wall of the double-headed elongated hole 201 near the protruding section 401, the insert rod 403 does not contact the double-headed elongated hole 201. That is, when the sub-medicine box 2 is inserted into the box slot 101 after being filled with medicine, the insert rod 403 is not likely to come into contact with the frame ring 22 or the box body 21, so that the corresponding external pressure sensor will not generate pressure data or will only generate a small pressure data, thereby effectively avoiding the situation of false triggering of the external pressure sensor.

[0025] When medication is needed, to overcome the friction between the silicone sheet 202 and the limiting rod 3, the user manually pulls the outward protrusion 401. This causes the pillbox 2 to move outward along the limiting rod 3 until the end of the limiting rod 3 contacts the other end of the double-ended elongated hole 201. Due to this contact force, the annular belt 4 moves outward from the pillbox 2 under the pulling force, exposing the fluorescent coating on its surface to remind the user that the pillbox 2 has been removed and medication has been taken. Simultaneously, the external pressure sensor on the insert rod 403 contacts the pillbox 2, generating a larger pressure reading. If the gravity sensor reading decreases, the controller... Once a medication record is established, it indicates that the medication has been taken. If the external pressure sensor does not generate force data at the time of medication administration, or if the gravity sensor data does not decrease after generating force data, it means that the medication has not been taken. In this case, the controller can control the warning light on the compartment cover 23 corresponding to the medication that has been taken but not taken to flash, so as to remind the patient to take the medication in time. It can also locate the specific medication in the missing medication compartment 203, effectively preventing missed medication from occurring. Compared with the existing technology, the operation of marking medication and the medication retrieval steps are integrated, and no additional operation is required when taking medication. Medication records can be automatically generated, effectively reducing the safety risks of missed medication and duplicate medication.

[0026] Second implementation method: This embodiment adds a Y-shaped pressure strip 5 to the first embodiment, while the rest remains the same as the first embodiment.

[0027] like Figures 6-8A Y-shaped pressure strip 5 is provided between two compartment covers 23 located on the same side of the silicone sheet 202. The Y-shaped pressure strip 5 includes a gathering section 51 fixedly connected to the frame ring 22 and an arm strip 52 fixedly connected to the end of the gathering section 51 facing the center of the sub-medicine box 2. The two arms of the arm strip 52 are respectively set along the edge of the rotating part of the compartment cover 23. A pressure strip 204 matching the arm strip 52 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating shaft of the compartment cover 23. The gathering section 51 is a rigid structure, and the upper end of the arm strip 52 is made of elastic material. The gathering section 51 and the arm strip 52 are internal The section is filled with saturated air, and the two are interconnected. An internal pressure sensor 61 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the gathering section 51 away from the arm bar 52. A diaphragm 62, which is in contact with the internal pressure sensor 61, is also fixedly connected to the inner wall of the gathering section 51. When taking medicine, after opening the corresponding compartment cover 23, its rotation causes the pressure strip 204 and the edge of the compartment cover 23 to simultaneously squeeze the arm bar 52, thereby causing the gas inside to move towards the interior of the gathering section 51, which in turn squeezes the diaphragm 62, causing it to deform towards the internal pressure sensor 61, thus generating force data, such as... Figure 5 After receiving the data signal, the controller determines that the lid 23 is open. Then, by combining the data changes from the gravity sensor, it can determine whether the patient has taken the medication. If the lid is open but the patient has not taken the medication, the controller can control the warning light to flash to remind the patient to take the medication in time.

[0028] If the lid 23 is opened due to an impact or other accident, the opening range will be much smaller than that manually opened by the user due to the magnetic attraction and the amplitude reset of the torsion spring. Therefore, the internal pressure sensor 61 is difficult to trigger. As a result, when the accidental opening causes the medicine to spill, the controller will not obtain data from the internal pressure sensor 61, or the obtained data from the internal pressure sensor 61 will be significantly smaller. This can remind the patient to replenish the medicine in time, effectively avoiding the situation where the patient mistakenly believes that the medicine has been taken because there is no medicine in the medicine compartment 203, and further reducing the occurrence of missed medication.

[0029] like Figure 9 A fixed isolation strip 531 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the middle part of the arm strip 52. A movable isolation strip 532 is fixedly connected between the fixed isolation strip 531 and the middle part of the diaphragm 62. The fixed isolation strip 531 and the movable isolation strip 532 divide the interior of the gathering section 51 into two independent cavities. The movable isolation strip 532 is made of flexible non-elastic material, so that the two cavities can monitor the opening status of two adjacent compartment covers 23, and the opening status of multiple medicine compartments 203 can be monitored one-to-one, thereby making the effect of medication marking more accurate and effectively ensuring the accuracy of medication records.

[0030] In this embodiment, the addition of the Y-shaped pressure strip 5 integrates the medication marking and dispensing steps. No additional operation is required during medication administration, and medication records are automatically generated, solving the problem of missed marking after medication administration in existing technologies. This effectively prevents patients from taking medication repeatedly. Furthermore, the internal pressure sensor 61 within the Y-shaped pressure strip 5, based on the external pressure sensor outside the sub-pillbox 2, can specifically monitor whether the lid 23 has been opened for medication dispensing. This allows users to promptly detect any abnormalities caused by accidental opening of the lid 23 leading to medication falling out, thus replenishing the medication in a timely manner. This effectively prevents patients from mistakenly believing they have taken medication due to the absence of medication in the medicine compartment 203, further reducing missed medication. Moreover, if the user fails to reset the sub-pillbox 2 after dispensing medication, and the external pressure sensor cannot be triggered the next time medication is dispensed, the internal pressure sensor 61 within the Y-shaped pressure strip 5 can still monitor medication dispensing, significantly improving the reliability of medication record generation and reducing the safety risks of missed or repeated medication.

[0031] The third implementation method: This embodiment adds an airbag strip 7 to the second embodiment, while the rest remains the same as the first embodiment.

[0032] like Figure 8 and Figure 10 The upper end of the aggregation section 51 is also fixedly connected to two airbag strips 7, each corresponding to one of the two cavities. The upper end of the aggregation section 51 is also fixedly inlaid with two double-through pieces 8, each corresponding to one of the two airbag strips 7. The two airbag strips 7 are initially in a relaxed state, such as... Figure 11 The double-panel 8 includes two contacting pressure plates. Each pressure plate includes a variable joint layer 82 and a bearing layer 81 fixedly connected to the end of the variable joint layer 82. The two bearing layers 81 are respectively fixed to the upper and lower edges of the gathering section 51. Air holes 801 are drilled on both pressure plates, and the two air holes 801 are centrally symmetrical. The variable joint layer 82 is an elastic structure, and the bearing layer 81 is a rigid structure. Figure 12 When the patient opens the lid 23 to retrieve the medication, due to the compression of the pressure strip 204, some of the gas entering the gathering section 51 is forced along the lower air hole 801 to compress the upper variable joint layer 82, thereby creating a certain gap between the two pressure strips, causing some air to be squeezed into the airbag strip 7, such as... Figure 10 This causes the airbag strip 7 to inflate, thus visually distinguishing the front and back of the airbag strip 7. Without any additional operation, the above visual markings are automatically generated when the lid is opened to take medicine. This allows the user to know that the corresponding medicine compartment 203 has been taken when taking medicine next time, and to take medicine from other medicine compartments 203 with the warning light on, effectively avoiding the occurrence of duplicate medication.

[0033] After all the medication in the sub-pillbox 2 has been taken, and after filling it with medication for the next week, the air compressor 701 can be pulled back and forth several times to compress the inflated airbag strip 7. This causes the air inside to enter the double-through plate 8 through the upper air hole 801 and compress the lower variable slit layer 82, creating a gap between it and the upper variable slit layer 82. This allows the air inside the airbag strip 7 to return to the Y-shaped pressure strip 5, so that when the compartment cover 23 is opened to take medication for the next week, the change at the airbag strip 7 can still be triggered, thus achieving medication marking.

[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention; it encompasses all the protection scope of the present invention. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solutions and improved concepts of the present invention, should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
