[0021] like Figure 1~Figure 5 The expandable counting medicine box shown includes a box body 1 and a cover body 2. The top of the box body 1 is a rectangular opening. Two parallel hinge seats 3 are discretely arranged on the outer wall of one side of the box body 1. A rotor is rotatably connected inside the box body 1. The specific connection structure between the rotor and the box body 1 belongs to conventional technology and is not elaborated here. Please refer to the patent document with patent number ZL202222574602.0 and the name of "A medicine storage box with countable medicines". The two hinge seats 3 are both located at the top of the box body 1 and at the same height. Hinge holes 4 are respectively opened on the two hinge seats 3, and the two hinge holes 4 are coaxial.
[0022] Two movable connecting seats 5 corresponding to the two hinge seats 3 are arranged on the outer wall of one side of the cover body 2. The lower ends of the movable connecting seats 5 extend downward from the cover body 2 and form arc-shaped ends. Connecting holes 6 are respectively opened on the two movable connecting seats 5. The two connecting holes 6 are coaxial, and the arc edge of the lower end of the movable connecting seat 5 is concentric with the connecting hole 6. The radius of the arc edge is not greater than the distance from the center of the connecting hole to the edge of one side of the movable connecting seat 5 close to the cover body 2, so as to ensure that the cover body 2 can be opened and closed freely.
[0023] A plurality of expansion sleeves 7 are arranged between the box body 1 and the cover body 2. Two fixed connection seats 8 corresponding to the hinge seat 3 are arranged on the outer wall of one side of any expansion sleeve 7. The lower end of the fixed connection seat 8 extends downward outside the expansion sleeve 7. The two fixed connection seats 8 are respectively provided with connection holes 6. Two hinge seats 3 are also arranged on the outer wall of the expansion sleeve 7. The two hinge seats 3 are both located at the top of the expansion sleeve 7 and at the same height. The hinge seat 3 on the expansion sleeve 7 is aligned with the hinge seat 3 on the box body 1. The hinge seat 3 on the same expansion sleeve 7 is located above the fixed connection seat 8. The two hinge seats 3 on the expansion sleeve 7 are also respectively provided with hinge holes 4. The number of expansion sleeves 7 can be zero or more, and can be increased or decreased according to actual needs.
[0024] The box body 1 is hinged to the cover body 2 or expansion sleeve 7 above it. The cover body 2 is movably hinged to the hinge seat 3 on the box body 1 or expansion sleeve 7 below it, and the movable connection seat 5 on the cover body 2 is movably hinged to the hinge seat 3 on the box body 1 or expansion sleeve 7 below it through bolts, rivets or pins. Any expansion sleeve 7 is fixedly hinged to the hinge seat 3 on the box body 1 or expansion sleeve 7 below it through a fixed connection seat 8, and the fixed connection seat 8 of the expansion sleeve 7 is fixedly hinged to the hinge seat 3 on the box body 1 or expansion sleeve 7 below it through bolts, rivets or pins.
[0025] By providing a detachable expansion sleeve 7 between the box body 1 and the cover body 2, and making the number of the expansion sleeves 7 adjustable at will, the technical goal of adjustable content of the medicine counting box is achieved, thereby solving the defect of the traditional medicine counting box that the content cannot be increased and its application range is small.
[0026] In this embodiment, a limiting rib 9 extending vertically downward may be further provided between the two fixed connection seats 8 of the expansion sleeve 7, and the limiting rib 9 is connected to the outer wall of the expansion sleeve 7 and is in close contact with the outer wall of the box body 1 or the expansion sleeve 7 adjacent thereto. The limiting rib 9 can limit the expansion sleeve 7 from turning over, thereby improving the connection stability and reliability between the expansion sleeve 7 and the box body 1 or the expansion sleeve 7 adjacent thereto.
[0027] In order to further improve the connection stability among the cover body 2 , the expansion sleeve 7 , and the box body 1 , in this embodiment, the cover body 2 , the expansion sleeve 7 , and the box body 1 are preferably connected by tongue and groove.
[0028] Specifically, in this embodiment, the inner edges of the three upper ends of the box body 1 without the hinge seat 3 are provided with male tongues and grooves 10 extending upward, the inner edges of the three upper ends of any expansion sleeve 7 without the hinge seat 3 are also provided with male tongues and grooves 10 extending upward, and the inner edges of the three lower ends of the sides without the hinge seat 3 are provided with female tongues and grooves 11 cooperating with the male tongues and grooves 10 on the upper ends of the box body 1 or another expansion sleeve 7, and the lower end of the cover body 2 can be sleeved on any male tongue and groove 10. The three sides here refer to three side surfaces.
[0029] In practical applications, the locations of the male and female tongues 10 and 11 can be adjusted as needed, and the male and female tongues 10 and 11 can also extend to the upper and lower ends of the entire expansion sleeve 7 .
[0030] As a further improvement to this embodiment, the lower end of a vertical edge 12 of the fixed connection seat 8 extending downward along the outer wall of the expansion sleeve 7 in this embodiment is lower than the center height of the connection hole 6 on the fixed connection seat 8. More specifically, a vertical edge 12 of the fixed connection seat 8 extending downward along the outer wall of the expansion sleeve 7 extends vertically to the bottom edge 13 of the fixed connection seat 8, forming a right angle with the bottom edge 13. The vertical edge 12 of the fixed connection seat 8 extending downward along the outer wall of the expansion sleeve is in contact with the box body 1 or the outer wall of the expansion sleeve 7 adjacent thereto. The setting of this structure has the same function as the limiting rib 9, so it can be selectively used with the limiting rib 9, such as using only the limiting rib 9 or only using the extended vertical edge 12 or using both of the above schemes at the same time.
[0031] The working process of this utility model is: Figure 1 As shown, the user can add a certain number of expansion sleeves 7 between the box body 1 and the cover body 2 according to actual needs, so as to expand the content of the original medicine box. The medicine box with expanded content can also remove several expansion sleeves 7 as needed to reduce the content of the medicine box.
