Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medicine splitting, in particular to a foldable medicine splitter. Background Art

[0002] A foldable drug splitter is used to divide pills or drugs into smaller doses. It is usually made of plastic or metal materials and has a foldable structure so that it can be compactly folded when not in use. Combining the existing literature on a drug splitter for pharmacy (CN214232099U, the utility model uses the filter tank, filter screen, and drug residue box to cooperate with each other, so that the device can filter the tablets after cutting them, reducing the bitter taste caused by swallowing drug residues, thereby improving the patient's taking effect) it can be seen that at least the following defects are exposed during use:

[0003] 1. When using the existing medicine divider, it is necessary to open the medicine divider and put the tablets in. During this process, the blade is always exposed to the outside. It is necessary to avoid scratching the hands with the blade when using it. Therefore, a foldable medicine divider with a retractable blade is needed.

[0004] 2. In the reference, the drug guide groove is set in a Y-shaped structure, and the tablets are clamped in different positions of the Y-shaped opening. When in use, the tablets lack a fixed structure. When the upper cover is closed by hand, it is necessary to prevent the tablets from shaking and deviating from the original position, thereby causing uneven cutting. Therefore, a foldable drug splitter that can fix the tablets and cut the tablets evenly is needed.

[0005] 3. Existing medicine splitters usually use a blade to divide a tablet into two, which has certain limitations when it is necessary to divide the tablet into three or four equal parts. Therefore, a foldable medicine splitter that can conveniently divide the tablet into three or four equal parts is needed. Utility Model Content

[0006] The utility model aims to provide a foldable medicine divider to solve the problems of the existing foldable medicine divider in the use process mentioned in the background technology.

[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0008] A foldable medicine splitter comprises: an upper cover plate, a straight blade, a cross blade and a herringbone blade, wherein one end of the upper cover plate is connected to a rotating shaft, and the straight blade, the cross blade and the herringbone blade are all arranged inside the upper cover plate; a base, one end of which is mounted on one side of the rotating shaft; a spring, which is arranged inside the upper cover plate; a button, which is connected to one side of the upper cover plate; and a connecting rod mechanism, which is arranged inside the base.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0027] Example: Figure 1-2 As shown, a foldable medicine splitter, whose main body consists of a base 1 and an upper cover 3, a groove is provided on the base 1 for nesting the protruding position of the upper cover 3, so that the base 1 and the upper cover 3 will not deviate when they are combined, when the upper cover 3 is covered, the buckle 6 is inserted into the slot 5, and the slot 5 has a groove for limiting the hook structure of the buckle 6, and the buckle 6 can be disengaged from the groove when the push switch 4 is pressed, and the upper cover 3 can be opened at this time. When the tablets need to be split, the tablets are first placed in the medicine placement groove 20, and a groove with the same diameter as the connecting rod 10 is provided at the junction of the base 1 and the medicine placement groove 20, which is convenient for the contraction of the connecting rod 10, and then the upper cover 3 is pressed downward, and the operation is as follows Figure 3The blade shown is used to separate the tablets by pressing the button 11, and finally the separated tablets can be placed in the medicine storage tank 2. The buckle 6 is made of polyurethane material, which is a multifunctional plastic with good elasticity and wear resistance, and is convenient for long-term use.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, when the tablet needs to be divided into two, first put the tablet into the lowest medicine slot 20, close the upper cover 3, press the button 11, and the button 11 drives the first limit block 12 and the straight blade 13 to move downward. The first limit block 12 is fixedly installed with the button 11, and a groove with the same diameter as the button 11 is opened on one side of the upper cover 3. The first limit block 12 is used to prevent the button 11 from detaching from the upper cover 3, and at the same time the compression spring 16 is compressed. At this time, the straight blade 13 passes through the groove of the first knife seat 7 and then acts on the tablet to divide the tablet into two. When the tablet needs to be divided into three or four equal parts, it only needs to be placed in different medicine slots 20. There is a spring 16 on both sides of each blade. After the division is completed, only the button 11 needs to be released, and the button 11 can automatically rebound to its original position under the action of the spring 16.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, when it is necessary to put the tablets into the medicine placing groove 20, it is only necessary to put the tablets between two connecting rod mechanisms or multiple connecting rod mechanisms. The medicine placing block 19 of the connecting rod mechanism will hold the tablets to prevent the tablets from shaking, so as to facilitate better and more even cutting of the tablets. When the tablets are put down, the medicine placing block 19 moves backward, and at the same time, the connecting rod 10 and the second limit block 17 connected to one end of the connecting rod 10 move backward. The second limit block 17 is used to resist the spring 16 and prevent the connecting rod 10 from detaching from the medicine placing groove 20. At this time, the spring 16 is compressed, and at the same time, under the elastic action of the spring 16, the tablets are firmly fixed. One end of the spring 16 is fixed to the bottom end of the groove opened at the junction of the base 1 and the medicine placing groove 20, and the other end is connected to the second limit block 17.

[0030] Working principle: When the tablets need to be split, the tablets are placed between two or more connecting rod mechanisms. The medicine placing block 19 of the connecting rod mechanism will hold the tablets to prevent the tablets from shaking. When the tablets are put down, the medicine placing block 19 moves backward, and at the same time, the connecting rod 10 and the second limit block 17 connected to one end of the connecting rod 10 move backward. A groove with the same diameter as the connecting rod 10 is provided at the junction of the base 1 and the medicine placing groove 20. The second limit block 17 is used to resist the spring 16 and prevent the connecting rod 10 from being separated from the medicine placing groove 20. At this time, the spring 16 is compressed. At the same time, under the elastic action of the spring 16, the tablet is firmly fixed, and then the upper cover plate 3 is pressed downward, the upper cover plate 3 is closed, and the button 11 is pressed. The button 11 drives the first limit block 12 and the straight blade 13 to move downward, and at the same time the compression spring 16 is compressed. At this time, the straight blade 13 passes through the groove of the first knife seat 7, and then acts on the tablet to divide the tablet into two. Finally, the separated tablets can be placed in the medicine storage tank 2. After the division is completed, just release the button 11, and the button 11 can automatically rebound to its original position under the action of the spring 16.
