DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] The following is combined with Figure 1-2 The utility model is described in further detail.
[0023] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The micro tablet counter comprises a cover body 1, which is threadedly connected to the bottle body of the medicine bottle. A circular mounting portion 2 is rotatably connected to the top surface of the cover body 1. The inner cavity of the mounting portion 2 is a mounting cavity 4 connected to the bottle body. The tablets in the bottle body can enter the mounting cavity 4 by tilting the bottle body. A slider 14 is fixed on the side of the mounting portion 2 facing the cover body 1. A slide groove 15 for the slider 14 to slide is provided on the side of the cover body 1 facing the mounting portion 2. The slide groove 15 is in an arc shape. A bottle cap 3 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the mounting portion 2. When the bottle cap 3 is screwed onto the outer wall of the mounting portion 2, the slider 14 slides in the slide groove 15 until the slider 14 abuts against the inner wall of one end of the slide groove 15. At this time, the bottle cap 3 is gradually installed on the mounting portion 2 through the thread. The bottle cap 3 can prevent the tablets from falling out of the mounting cavity 4 and isolate the tablets in the bottle body from the outside world, thereby reducing the possibility of the tablets being contaminated.
[0024] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A support plate 5 is fixed on the inner wall of the cover body 1, and a connecting hole 6 is provided on the support plate 5, and the connecting hole 6 connects the bottle body with the mounting cavity 4. A cylindrical counting disk 7 is provided on the side of the support plate 5 away from the bottle body, and a plurality of counting holes 9 are penetrated on the counting disk 7, and each counting hole 9 is provided with a number. The inner diameter of the counting hole 9 is 2-4mm, and the preferred embodiment is 3mm. The counting disk 7 also has a shielding portion for opening the counting hole 9, and the counting disk 7 is fixedly connected to the mounting portion 2. By rotating the mounting portion 2, the counting disk 7 can be driven to rotate. When the counting hole 9 is connected with the connecting hole 6, the tablets in the bottle body can be poured out of the bottle body through the connecting hole 6 and the counting hole 9. By observing the number of the counting hole 9, the number of poured tablets can be quickly counted. When the shielding portion rotates to the opening of the connecting hole 6, the shielding portion closes the connecting hole 6. At this time, the tablets cannot be poured out of the bottle body, and the bottle body is closed.
[0025] It should be noted that when the slider 14 slides to one end of the slide groove 15, the shielding portion of the counting disk 7 is located at the opening of the connecting hole 6, that is, when the bottle cap 3 is screwed on the mounting portion 2, the counting disk 7 closes the connecting hole 6, so that the tablets will not fall out of the connecting hole 6 during the screwing process of the bottle cap 3, thereby reducing the contact between the tablets and the external environment and reducing the possibility of contamination of the tablets.
[0026] A rotating shaft 12 is coaxially fixed on the side of the support plate 5 facing the counting disk 7, a bearing 13 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 12, a central hole for inserting the bearing 13 is opened on the counting disk 7, the counting disk 7 is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the bearing 13, and the rotating shaft 12 is connected to the inner ring of the bearing, thereby realizing the rotational connection between the counting disk 7 and the rotating shaft 12, that is, the rotational connection between the mounting portion 2 and the cover body 1.
[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2A cover plate 10 is fixed to one end of the mounting portion 2 away from the bottle body. The cover plate 10 is a transparent glass plate or a transparent plastic plate. There is a cavity between the cover plate 10 and the counting disk 7 that allows the tablets to roll freely. The rotating shaft 12 passes through the cover plate 10. The screw 8 is threadedly connected to the rotating shaft 12, and the screw 8 blocks the sliding of the cover plate 10 on the rotating shaft 12, thereby improving the connection stability between the cover plate 10 and the rotating shaft 12. The tablets enter between the cover plate 10 and the counting disk 7 through the connecting hole 6 and the counting hole 9 in turn. The number (not shown in the figure) covered by the tablet in the counting hole 9 is observed through the cover plate 10, and the number of the poured tablets can be quickly calculated, eliminating the original process of moving the tablets for counting, improving the efficiency of tablet counting, and facilitating quick medication. At the same time, in the process of counting the tablets, the contact between the tablets and the external environment is reduced, and the possibility of the tablets being contaminated is reduced.
[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cover plate 10 is provided with a discharge port 11 connected to the mounting cavity 4, through which the counted tablets can be poured out from between the cover plate 10 and the counting disk 7. By further distributing the connection holes 6 between the discharge port 11 and the support plate 5 at both ends of the diameter direction of the counting disk 7, when the tablets are poured from the bottle body into between the cover plate 10 and the counting disk 7, the tablets are not easy to fall out from the discharge port 11; similarly, when the tablets are poured out, since the connection holes 6 are above the discharge port 11 at this time, the tablets in the bottle body are not easy to enter between the cover plate 10 and the counting disk 7 from the bottle body, thereby maintaining the accuracy of the tablet counting.
[0029] The implementation principle of the embodiment of the utility model is as follows: when taking pills, the bottle body is tilted so that the pills in the bottle body pass through the connecting hole 6 and the counting hole 9 and enter the cavity between the cover plate 10 and the counting disk 7. When the pills are poured out, the counting hole 9 into which the pills enter is observed through the cover plate 10, so as to quickly calculate the number of pills poured out, and the pills are poured out from the discharge port 11. The above process is repeated to complete the medication. After taking the pills, the mounting part 2 is rotated so that the shielding part of the counting disk 7 closes the connecting hole 6, and the bottle cap 3 is screwed on the mounting part 2.
[0030] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present utility model should be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.
