When the clock owned by the DS1307 reaches the set time to take medicine, the buzzer of pin 6 will be triggered to sound a reminder, and the corresponding LED light 4 of the medicine box grid will light up through the preset code to remind the patient the type of medicine to take.
[0028] The code for setting the current time is as follows:
[0029]
[0030] The code to set the alarm is as follows:
[0031]
[0032] Of course, it is also possible to simply adjust the code to achieve one alarm controlling multiple indicator LED lights 4, thereby solving the situation where a variety of different medicines need to be taken within a period of time; after that, the patient can long press the linkage reset switch for 0.5 seconds to 1 second to turn off the buzzer and the indicator LED light 4, indicating that the medication has been taken and the reminder has stopped.
[0033] In some other embodiments, a temperature sensor 8 and a light sensor 9 are provided on the box cover 2; the temperature sensor 8 and the light sensor 9 are electrically connected to the control system 3; a second speaker 10 is also provided on the outer side of the box cover 2; the control system 3 receives the temperature signal of the temperature sensor 8 and the intensity signal of the light sensor 9, and controls the second speaker 10 to sound an alarm after the temperature signal or the intensity signal exceeds a set threshold; further, in order to facilitate distinction, the sound types of the first speaker 5 and the second speaker 10 are different, for example, one emits a buzzing sound and the other emits a music sound.
[0034] Specifically, a temperature sensor 8 (DS18B20) and a light sensor 9 (5516) are used, and they both need to be connected to the 5V and GND pins on the Arduino board respectively; the output of the temperature sensor 8 is connected to pin 4, the output of the light sensor 9 is connected to pin a0, and the analog output NC of the humidity sensor 16 is connected to pin 2; these three sensors will have preset thresholds, and when the preset thresholds of temperature or light intensity are exceeded, the second speaker 10 located at pin 7 will be triggered to make a sound to remind the patient that the placement of the medicine is not appropriate, which can effectively remind the user to store the medicine in a reasonable position.
