Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of smart pillbox technology, and more particularly to a smart pillbox with an error prevention mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] As an important device to assist patients in taking medication in a standardized manner, smart pillboxes can realize functions such as timed reminders and quantitative dispensing, which can effectively reduce medication errors such as missed doses, incorrect doses, and overdose. They are increasingly widely used in the fields of home care, rehabilitation therapy, and elderly care. Currently, conventional smart pillboxes generally suffer from problems such as simple structural design and insufficient precision in drug dispensing control. Most pillboxes rely on gravity-feeding or simple pushing methods to dispense medication, which is poorly adaptable to different dosage forms such as powders, fine particles, and irregularly shaped tablets. This can easily lead to drug accumulation, adhesion, and jamming, resulting in significant deviations in single-dose dispensing and making it difficult to ensure medication consistency. While some pillboxes have drug storage and dispensing structures, they lack error prevention and dosage adjustment mechanisms, failing to flexibly adapt to different drug forms and dosages, thus limiting their versatility and practicality. Furthermore, traditional pillboxes are prone to residue and blockage during drug delivery. Over long-term use, uneven drug distribution can further exacerbate dispensing errors, posing potential risks to clinical medication safety. In addition, regarding dosage adjustment, most pillboxes rely on fixed-volume dispensing and cannot adapt to the different flow and accumulation characteristics of various drugs. This can easily lead to uneven dispensing due to differences in dosage forms, making it difficult to meet diverse and precise medication needs. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0015] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.
[0016] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.
[0017] The pillboxes in the related technology have at least the following problems when in use: First, most medicine boxes rely on gravity to dispense medicine or a simple pushing method, which is not well-suited for different dosage forms such as powder, fine particles and irregularly shaped tablets. They cannot be flexibly adapted according to the form of the medicine and the dosage, and are prone to drug accumulation, adhesion and jamming. This results in a large deviation in the dosage of a single dispensing and makes it difficult to ensure the consistency of medication.
[0018] Secondly, traditional medicine boxes are prone to problems such as residue and blockage during drug delivery. After long-term use, uneven drug distribution will further aggravate the error in drug dispensing, posing a potential safety hazard in clinical medication.
[0019] Finally, in terms of dosage adjustment, most pillboxes rely on a fixed volume for dispensing medication, and cannot make adaptive adjustments for the flow and stacking characteristics of different drugs. This can easily lead to uneven dispensing due to differences in dosage forms, making it difficult to meet diverse and refined medication needs.
[0020] To address the aforementioned technical issues, this application provides a smart pillbox with an error prevention mechanism.
[0021] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 13As shown, the smart pillbox with an error-proof mechanism includes a box body 1, a pill tray 11, and a lid 12. The pill tray 11 is slidably inserted into the bottom of the box body 1, and the lid 12 is fixedly installed on the top of the box body 1. A drive assembly is located below the lid 12 and includes a rotating rod 21. A pill dispensing assembly is located inside the box body 1 and includes several pill storage chambers 22, several pill dispensing rods 223, a support ring 133, a pill delivery assembly, and a pill discharge assembly. The several pill storage chambers 22 are evenly distributed in a circular shape inside the box body 1. The pill dispensing rods 223 correspond one-to-one with the pill storage chambers 22 and are movably installed on the lid 12. Inside the medicine storage chamber 22, the support ring 133 is fixedly installed inside the box body 1; the medicine delivery assembly includes a first disc 121 and a second disc 13, with the first disc 121 located above the second disc 13, and both the first disc 121 and the second disc 13 are fixedly installed on the top of the box body 1; the medicine discharging assembly includes a first rotating component 212 and a second rotating component 216, both of which are rotatably installed inside the box body 1, and the first rotating component 212 and the second rotating component 216 are located at the bottom and top of the inner side of the box body 1, respectively; the adjustment assembly is movably disposed inside the medicine dispensing rod 223; When in use, the patient sets the medication time and number of doses through the control panel on the top of the box cover 12. When medication is needed, the drive assembly drives the dispensing rod 223 to move upward through the forward rotation of the rotating rod 21, so that the dispensing rod 223 lifts the medicine inside the storage chamber 22 and delivers the medicine to the top of the disc 121. At this time, the rotating component 212 delivers the medicine above the disc 121 to the bottom of the box body 1, so that the rotating component 216 discharges the medicine into the inside of the medicine tray 11.
[0022] like Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, the sidewall of the second disc 13 has several circular holes, which correspond to the drug storage cavity 22. The sidewall of the circular holes has several evenly distributed protruding teeth 131. The sidewall of the drug storage cavity 22 has several evenly distributed protruding teeth 221 integrally formed, and the protruding teeth 131 and the protruding teeth 221 mesh with each other. The bottom of the drug storage cavity 22 is a downwardly concave cone shape to ensure that the drug inside the drug storage cavity 22 gathers to the bottom. The first tooth 131 and the second tooth 221 have the same shape. When the medicine storage cavity 22 rotates, the second tooth 221 slides over the first tooth 131, causing the medicine storage cavity 22 to slide (vibrate) back and forth. The first tooth 131 and the second tooth 221 can be triangular, or they can be arc-shaped or other structures with the same characteristics. The inner wall of the medicine storage cavity 22 is integrally formed with a sliding ball 226; the side wall of the medicine dispensing rod 223 is provided with a bidirectional sliding groove 225, and the sliding ball 226 is slidably installed inside the bidirectional sliding groove 225.
[0023] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 10 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the side wall of the rotating rod 21 is provided with an intermittent gear 214, and a ratchet 217 is provided between the intermittent gear 214 and the rotating rod 21; when the rotating rod 21 rotates forward, the ratchet 217 located between the intermittent gear 214 and the rotating rod 21 is locked, and when the rotating rod 21 rotates in reverse, the ratchet 217 between the intermittent gear 214 and the rotating rod 21 is unlocked. Gear 222 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the medicine storage chamber 22. Gear 222 meshes with intermittent gear 214. Intermittent gear 214 is a large gear and gear 222 is a small gear. When intermittent gear 214 and gear 222 mesh, intermittent gear 214 drives gear 222 to rotate one revolution. Intermittent gear 214 and gear 222 are only the transmission mechanism between rotating rod 21 and medicine storage chamber 22, and can be replaced by other transmission mechanisms with the same characteristics. The side wall of the support ring 133 is integrally formed with a limiting block 134; the medicine dispensing rod 223 is slidably installed on the side wall of the limiting block 134, and the limiting block 134 is always in contact with the side wall of the medicine dispensing rod 223; a driver 211 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the box cover 12; the output end of the driver 211 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 21. The driver 211 can be a servo motor, mainly used to precisely control the forward and reverse rotation of the rotating rod 21, or it can be a stepper motor or an electric motor or other mechanism with the same transmission characteristics. During drug dispensing, the driver 211 drives the rotating rod 21 to rotate clockwise. The rotating rod 21 rotates via the intermittent gear 214. When the intermittent gear 214 and gear 222 mesh, the drug storage chamber 22 rotates, causing the drug storage chamber 22 to drive the dispensing rod 223 upward via the sliding ball 226 and the bidirectional sliding groove 225. This causes the dispensing rod 223 to push the drug onto the side wall of the disc 121. After the drug moves to the side wall of the disc 121, the intermittent gear 214 and gear 222... When the intermittent gear 214 meshes with the gear 222 again, the drug storage chamber 22 rotates again and drives the drug-taking rod 223 to move downward, causing the drug-taking rod 223 to reset. The drug-taking rod 223 pushes the drug upward, so that the drug can move accurately to the side wall of the disc 121. During the movement, the drug is not stuck or left behind, avoiding drug jamming or residue in the drug delivery system, improving the reliability and repeatability of drug delivery, and ensuring that the dosage is consistent and the operation is smooth each time. During the rotation of the drug storage chamber 22, the second tooth 221 and the first tooth 131 abut against each other, causing the drug storage chamber 22 to move up and down (vibrate). This causes the drug storage chamber 22 to drive the dispensing rod 223 to vibrate. Through the vibration of the drug storage chamber 22 and the dispensing rod 223, the drug dosage can be more accurate when the dispensing rod 223 moves upward, avoiding dosage deviation caused by the accumulation or adhesion of drugs (powder, granules, tablets). When the dispensing rod 223 moves downward, it improves the efficiency and stability of drug aggregation, ensuring the stability of drug dispensing by the dispensing rod 223. This prevents the drug from being distributed on the side wall of the drug storage chamber 22 after multiple dispensings by the dispensing rod 223, which would cause deviations in the consistency of drug dosage and affect the accuracy of drug dispensing and the safety of clinical medication.
[0024] like Figure 4 and Figure 11 As shown, the adjusting assembly includes a piston rod 23 and a flexible plate 231; the flexible plate 231 is fixedly installed on the top of the dispensing rod 223, and the piston rod 23 is slidably installed inside the dispensing rod 223; a pull rope 232 is provided between the flexible plate 231 and the piston rod 23, and the pull rope 232 is an elastic rope-like structure; a telescopic cylinder 236 is slidably installed on the inner side of the piston rod 23; a gear 237 is movably installed on the side wall of the support ring 133, and a limit rod 238 is integrally formed on the top of the gear 237, and the limit rod 238 is slidably installed inside the telescopic cylinder 236; a ball bearing 235 is integrally formed on the side wall of the piston rod 23; a bidirectional groove 227 is opened on the inner side of the dispensing rod 223, and the ball bearing 235 is slidably installed inside the bidirectional groove 227; When gear 3 237 rotates, it drives limit rod 238 and telescopic cylinder 236 to rotate piston rod 23 synchronously. This causes piston rod 23 to slide up and down reciprocally through ball bearing 235 and bidirectional groove 227. When piston rod 23 slides down, it pulls flexible sheet 231 through pull rope 1 232, causing flexible sheet 231 to undergo elastic deformation and indent downwards, thereby increasing the dosage of drug taken by dispensing rod 223. When piston rod 23 slides up, flexible sheet 231 returns to its original position due to its own elasticity after pull rope 1 232 loosens, thereby reducing the dosage of drug taken by dispensing rod 223. Through the deformation of flexible sheet 231, the dosage can be adjusted according to different drugs, effectively adapting to the flowability and accumulation characteristics of drugs of different forms such as powder, granules or tablets. This avoids problems such as uneven drug dispensing and dispensing errors caused by a single fixed dosage and differences in drug form, thus achieving multi-purpose and precise dispensing.
[0025] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 11As shown, the side wall of the rotating rod 21 is provided with a gear 215, which meshes with a gear 237; a ratchet 217 is provided between the gear 215 and the rotating rod 21. When the rotating rod 21 rotates forward, the ratchet 217 between the gear 215 and the rotating rod 21 is unlocked, and when the rotating rod 21 rotates in reverse, the ratchet 217 between the gear 215 and the rotating rod 21 is locked. The top of gear 3 237 is provided with a conical surface 239; an adjusting block 135 is slidably installed on the side wall of the box 1, and the inclined surface of the adjusting block 135 abuts against the conical surface 239; a spring 136 is provided between the adjusting block 135 and the side wall of the support ring 133. When adjusting the dosage of a single dose of medicine using the corresponding dispensing rod 223, the user presses the adjusting block 135, causing the adjusting block 135 to drive the gear 237 to move upward through the inclined surface and the conical surface 239, causing the gear 237 to mesh with the gear 215. At this time, the driver 211 starts and reverses, causing the gear 237 to rotate and adjusting the dosage of medicine dispensed by the dispensing rod 223.
[0026] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, a corrugated groove 123 is provided on the top of the disc 121, and a through hole 124 is provided in the trough of the corrugated groove 123; the medicine dispensing rod 223 is slidably inserted into the inside of the through hole 124. The side wall of the medicine-dispensing rod 223 is provided with an air hole 224; the side wall of the through hole 124 is provided with an air hole 125, and the air hole 224 and the air hole 125 correspond to each other. After the dispensing rod 223 moves to the top, the drug above the flexible sheet 231 is located inside the corrugated groove 123, and the first vent 125 and the second vent 224 are connected to each other.
[0027] like Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 13 As shown, rotating component 212 and intermittent gear 214 are fixedly connected; a telescopic rod 213 is slidably installed on the side wall of rotating component 212, and a slider 218 is integrally formed on the side wall of telescopic rod 213, and the slider 218 is slidably installed on the inner side of corrugated groove 123. The bottom of the slider 218 is semi-circular. During the rotation of the rotating component 212, the rotating component 212 drives the telescopic rod 213 to rotate, so that the slider 218 slides inside the corrugated groove 123. The slider 218 abuts against and drives the drug located inside the corrugated groove 123. At the same time, the semi-circular structure can gather the drug at the center of the slider 218, preventing the drug from falling off the slider 218. The side wall of the disc 121 has an air cavity 122, and a spring block 126 is slidably installed inside the air cavity 122; the slider 218 and the spring block 126 are in contact with each other; As the slider 218 slides inside the corrugated groove 123, when the dispensing rod 223 moves to the top, the slider 218 contacts and presses the spring lever 126. The spring lever 126 then presses the air chamber 122, causing the air chamber 122 to inflate the inside of the dispensing rod 223 (between the piston rod 23 and the flexible sheet 231) through the air hole 125 and the air hole 224. This causes the flexible sheet 231 to bulge upwards, ensuring that the slider 218 can accurately push the medicine above the flexible sheet 231 into the corrugated groove 123. After the slider 218 and the spring lever 126 separate, the spring lever 126 and the flexible sheet 231 return to their original positions.
[0028] like Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the corrugated groove 123 has a medicine hole 127 at its crest; the bottom of the box 1 has a medicine trough 137; a medicine tube 132 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the disc 13, the top of the medicine tube 132 is connected to the medicine hole 127, and the bottom of the medicine tube 132 is located above the medicine trough 137; a medicine hole 138 is opened at the bottom of the medicine trough 137, the medicine hole 138 is located above the medicine tray 11, and is connected to the medicine tray 11; a rotating part 216 is fixedly installed on the outside of the rotating rod 21, and a lever is provided at the bottom of the rotating part 216, which is slidably installed on the inside of the medicine trough 137. When the slider 218 moves the drug inside the corrugated groove 123, after the drug slides above the first drug hole 127, the drug falls into the drug tank 137 through the drug tube 132, and is then pushed by the paddle at the bottom of the rotating part 216 to the top of the second drug hole 138, and finally falls accurately into the drug tray 11.
[0029] To further clarify, the aforementioned fixed connection should be interpreted broadly unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited. For example, it may be welding, gluing, or integral molding, or other conventional methods well known to those skilled in the art.
[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
