Any modification of the structure, change of the proportion relationship or adjustment of the size, without affecting the effects and purposes that can be achieved by the present utility model, should still fall within the scope of the technical contents disclosed by the present utility model. At the same time, the terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle" and "one" quoted in the present specification are only for the convenience of description, and are not used to limit the scope of the implementation of the present utility model. The change or adjustment of the relative relationship, without substantial change of the technical contents, should also be regarded as the scope of the implementation of the present utility model.

[0023] Figure 1-Figure 3 The main structural components of a device for reminding patients to take oral medications on time are shown. The device for reminding patients to take oral medications on time includes a cabinet 1. The interior of the cabinet 1 is provided with a timer 2, a medicine storage chamber 5 and a control chamber 7 from top to bottom. A reminder light 3 is provided on the top of the cabinet 1, a fixing mechanism 8 is provided on the non-working surface of the cabinet 1, and speakers 9 are provided on both sides of the cabinet 1.

[0024] like Figure 4 As shown, the control room 7 is provided with a controller 101 and the following components, which are electrically connected to the controller 101: a power supply 102, a wireless communication module 103, and a data recording module 104. The wireless communication module 103 is mainly used to provide information feedback to medical staff, and to inform them that the patient needs to take medicine in time; the data recording module 104 is used to record the patient's medication time, interval time, and medication frequency.

[0025] At the same time, the timer 2, the reminder light 3 and the speaker 9 are all electrically connected to the controller 101 and controlled by the controller 9. The timer 2 sets the time for the patient to take medicine. When the time is up, the controller 101 receives the signal from the timer 2 and then sends a signal to the outside world through the reminder light 3 and the speaker 9 to remind the patient and medical staff that it is time to take medicine.

[0026] In order to prevent the control system inside the device from being damaged, a control room door 10 is provided on the control room 7, and the control room door 10 is connected to the rotating shaft of the control room 7.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, in order to distinguish different types of medicines, partitions 6 are provided inside the medicine storage chamber 5, and the number of partitions can be increased or decreased according to actual needs.

[0028] In order to prevent patients from taking medicine without authorization without following the doctor's advice, which may lead to an overdose of medicine, the medicine storage room 5 needs to be restricted so that only medical staff can take medicine. Therefore, a swing door 11 is provided on the medicine storage room 5, and a push plate 13 is provided on the swing door 11. A mounting opening 4 is provided on the side of the cabinet 1, and the swing door 11 is slidably connected to the cabinet 1 through the mounting opening 4. A password lock 12 is provided on the side of the cabinet 1 away from the mounting opening 4, and the side of the swing door 11 away from the mounting opening 4 cooperates with the password lock 12.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, the fixing mechanism 8 is mainly used to fix the device, and can be fixed near the bedside card, or can be taken down and used separately.

[0030] The fixing mechanism 8 includes: a mounting plate 81 arranged on the non-working surface of the cabinet 1, a threaded rod 82 arranged on the mounting plate 81, a pressing plate 83 arranged on the threaded rod 82, a semicircular protrusion 84 arranged on the pressing plate 83 and a fixing knob 85 arranged on the threaded rod 82.

[0031] One end of the threaded rod 82 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 81 , and the other end of the threaded rod 82 is threadedly connected to the fixing knob 85 .

[0032] The pressing plate 83 is slidably connected to the threaded rod 82, and the pressing plate 83 is placed between the mounting plate 81 and the fixing knob 85. The distance between the pressing plate 83 and the mounting plate 81 can be adjusted by rotating the fixing knob 85 until they are clamped. At the same time, a semicircular protrusion 84 is provided on the pressing plate 83 to adapt to media of different shapes.

[0033] The working principle of the patient's oral medication timing reminder device is as follows:

[0034] In actual use, the timer 2 can be used to time the medication. When the medication time is up, the reminder light 3 on the top of the cabinet 1 will flash, and the speaker 9 will give a reminder. When the medication reminder begins, the controller 101 receives a signal and reminds the medical staff through the wireless communication module 103. The medical staff who are close to the cabinet will also be prompted by the reminder light 2 or the speaker 9, so as to distribute the medicine to the patient. Since the cabinet 1 is provided with a password lock 12, the device can only be opened by the medical staff, so that the patient can prevent himself from not following the doctor's advice and taking the medicine.

[0035] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
