[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0023] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The utility model provides a child-friendly medicine dispenser, including a box body 1, a hinge 2 is arranged on the upper part of one side of the box body 1, the box body 1 is rotatably connected to a box cover 3 through the hinge 2, a mounting block 4 is fixedly connected to the left side of the middle part of the box cover 3, a connecting shaft 5 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the mounting block 4, and a limiting rod 6 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the connecting shaft 5; a limiting component is arranged on the upper part of the box body 1; a control panel 9 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the box body 1, for example, its left front side, and a constant temperature component electrically connected to the control panel 9 is arranged on the bottom of the box body 1.
[0024] The advantages of the above-mentioned child-friendly medicine dispenser are: the design of the medicine dispenser takes into account the safety of children when using it. By integrating hinges and limiter components, the medicine dispenser can control the opening and closing of the box cover, thereby preventing children from accidentally opening the dispenser and contacting the medicine. The design of the mounting block and the connecting shaft simplifies the operation process of the medicine dispenser, making the opening and closing of the box cover more convenient, and providing users with a better user experience. Through the electrical connection between the built-in thermostatic component and the control panel, the medicine dispenser can maintain a stable internal temperature. This is very important for those drugs that need to be stored under specific temperature conditions, ensuring the effectiveness and safety of the drugs.
[0025] The limit assembly may include a limit block 7, a mounting plate 19, a telescopic column 15, a spring 16, a connecting rod 17 and a pull ring 18. The limit block 7 is fixedly connected to the upper left side of the box body 1, the mounting plate 19 is fixedly connected to the upper inner side of the limit block 7, the telescopic column 15 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the mounting plate 19, the spring 16 is arranged on the outer side of the telescopic column 15, the connecting rod 17 is fixedly connected to the inside of the telescopic column 15, and the pull ring 18 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the connecting rod 17. One end of the spring 16 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 19, and the other end of the spring 16 is fixedly connected to the telescopic column 15. A groove is provided on the upper left side of the limit rod 6, and the lower part of the telescopic column 15 is located inside the groove.
[0026] When it is necessary to take medicine, the pull ring 18 is pulled to make the pull ring 18 drive the connecting rod 17 to move, and the movement of the connecting rod 17 drives the telescopic column 15 and the spring 16 to be compressed, so that the telescopic column 15 and the spring 16 are separated from the limit rod 6, and then the limit rod 6 is pushed to make the limit rod 6 rotate along the connecting shaft 5 to separate from the limit block 7, and finally the handle 8 is pulled to make the handle 8 drive the box cover 3 to rotate along the hinge 2, so as to reduce the risk of children's misoperation causing overdose or accidental ingestion of medicine.
[0027] The above structure has the following advantages: through the combined use of telescopic columns and springs, an automatic rebound safety limit function is realized, which is convenient for users to operate and can automatically maintain a locked state when not in use, thereby effectively preventing children from contacting the medicine. The design improves reliability and durability by adopting mechanical components such as telescopic columns and springs. These mechanical components can usually withstand a large number of use cycles and ensure long-term stable performance. By introducing a pull ring as an operating interface, users (especially adults) can more easily perform locking and unlocking operations without applying too much force, while posing a certain difficulty to children, balancing safety and convenience. This design takes into account the convenience of users while ensuring the safety of the medicine dispenser. Through this limit mechanism, it is ensured that the medicine dispenser will not be easily opened by unauthorized users (especially children), which reduces the risk of children accidentally ingesting medicine and improves the overall safety of the medicine dispenser. The limit component design ensures that the medicine dispenser can be reliably locked or unlocked when needed, ensures stability and reliability during use, and avoids drug leakage or damage caused by accidental opening of the medicine dispenser.
[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The constant temperature assembly includes a micro motor 10, a medicine frame 11, a temperature detector 12, a heating device 13 and a cooling device 14. The micro motor 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the box body 1, the medicine frame 11 is fixedly connected to the output end of the micro motor 10, the temperature detector 12 is fixedly connected in the medicine frame 11, for example, at the bottom, the heating device 13 is fixedly connected to the right side of the bottom of the box body 1, the cooling device 14 is fixedly connected to the left inner wall of the box body 1, the heating device 13 is electrically connected to the control panel 9, the control panel 9 is electrically connected to the cooling device 14, the temperature detector 12 is electrically connected to the control panel 9, and the control panel 9 is electrically connected to the micro motor 10.
[0029] In one embodiment, a handle 8 is fixedly connected to the left front side of the upper portion of the box cover 3 , and the limiting rod 6 is slidably connected to the inner side of the limiting block 7 .
[0030] When the internal temperature of the drug dispenser needs to be controlled, the internal temperature of the drug dispenser is detected by the temperature detector 12. When the temperature is high (higher than the preset first temperature threshold), the refrigeration device 14 is started through the control panel 9, or when the temperature is low (lower than the preset second temperature threshold), the heating device 13 is started through the control panel 9, and then the micro motor 10 is started through the control panel 9, so that the micro motor 10 runs to drive the medicine frame 11 to rotate, thereby achieving uniform heating or cooling, thereby realizing that the intelligent temperature-controlled drug dispenser can automatically control the internal temperature of the drug dispenser to prevent the temperature from affecting the storage quality of the drug.
[0031] The design of the micro motor 10 driving the medicine frame 11 to rotate is conducive to achieving uniform heating or cooling, ensuring that the medicine can be stored at a suitable temperature to maintain its quality and efficacy.
[0032] When the heating device 13 or the cooling device 14 is started, they will generate heat or cold in a specific area of the medicine dispenser. If the medicine is only stored statically near these devices, the medicine near the heating device 13 or the cooling device 14 may be affected by too much or too little heat or cold, resulting in uneven temperature distribution. By driving the medicine frame 11 to rotate through the micro motor 10, the medicine can be continuously moved inside the dispenser, so that it is more evenly exposed to heat or cold, ensuring that the temperature of the entire medicine storage area is more consistent.
[0033] The rotation of the medicine can promote the flow of air inside the dispenser, which helps the spread and distribution of heat or cold. When the air flows, heat or cold can be transferred from one area to another more quickly, thereby improving the efficiency of temperature control.
[0034] Rotation is helpful to prevent local overheating or overcooling of the medicine. Under the condition of being stationary, some medicines may be damaged due to long-term exposure to too high or too low temperature. By rotating the medicine frame 11, the medicine can be prevented from being in an unfavorable temperature environment for a long time, thereby protecting the storage quality of the medicine.
[0035] In some embodiments, an operation screen or display module is configured on the control panel 9. This screen can be a touch screen, providing an intuitive user interface, allowing users (including guardians of children and older children) to easily adjust settings (such as temperature settings), view drug dispensing status, or consult instructions for use. The addition of a touch screen increases interactivity and makes operation more convenient and intuitive.
[0036] In some embodiments, an alarm is provided on the control panel 9, or the alarm is electrically connected to the control panel 9. The alarm is used to sound and light alarm when abnormal temperature, low drug inventory or other abnormal conditions occur, reminding the user to take corresponding measures in time. Sound and light alarms can quickly attract people's attention, especially in emergency situations. The detection of low drug inventory is achieved by setting sensors or detectors inside the drug dispenser. These sensors can monitor the quantity or level of drugs in real time and transmit this information to the control panel 9. When the drug inventory is lower than the preset threshold, the sensor will trigger a signal. After receiving the signal, the control panel 9 determines that the drug inventory is low, and then the alarm can be activated to sound and light alarm to remind the user to replenish the drug in time. Other abnormal conditions refer to various conditions that may affect the normal operation of the drug dispenser or the quality of drug storage in addition to abnormal temperature and low drug inventory. For example: power failure, which means that if the drug dispenser suddenly loses power or the power supply is unstable, the temperature control may fail, thereby affecting the storage of the drug. Mechanical failure, which means that if the mechanical parts (such as micro motors, transmission devices, etc.) inside the drug dispenser fail, it may affect the normal distribution or rotation of the drug. Sensor failure refers to the failure of the sensor used to monitor the temperature or the amount of medicine, which may cause the control panel 9 to be unable to accurately obtain the current state, thereby affecting the normal operation of the device. External interference refers to external magnetic field interference, vibration or impact, etc., which may interfere with the normal operation of the drug dispenser.
[0037] Among them, weight sensors, capacitive sensors, ultrasonic sensors and optical sensors can be used to monitor the quantity or level of drugs in real time. For drugs in solid form (such as tablets, capsules, etc.), weight sensors can be used to monitor the weight of drugs in the drug dispenser. When the weight of the drug decreases below a preset threshold, the sensor sends a signal indicating that the drug inventory is low. Capacitive sensors can be used to detect the inventory of liquid or semi-solid drugs. They infer the level of the drug by measuring the change in capacitance between the drug and the sensor. When the drug level drops, the capacitance value changes, triggering the sensor's signal. Ultrasonic sensors can emit ultrasonic pulses and measure the time it takes for these pulses to reflect back from the surface of the drug to calculate the height or level of the drug. This type of sensor is suitable for drugs in various forms, including solids, liquids and powders. Optical sensors use light transmitters and receivers to detect the presence or absence of drugs. For example, a light beam transmitter and receiver are installed at a specific location in the drug dispenser. When the drug level drops below the light beam, the receiver cannot detect the light beam, thereby triggering a signal of low drug inventory.
[0038] In some embodiments, the control panel 9 is electrically connected to a communication module, and the communication module (such as a Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or mobile network module) enables the drug dispenser to connect to the Internet or mobile network, thereby supporting remote monitoring and control functions. In this way, the drug dispenser can send a notification or alarm to the mobile phone of the guardian or doctor when it is opened by mistake, the drug inventory is low, or the device fails. This function is particularly important for ensuring the continuity and safety of the patient's drug treatment plan.
[0039] Here’s how it works:
[0040] When it is necessary to take medicine, the pull ring 18 is pulled so that the pull ring 18 drives the connecting rod 17 to move upward, and the movement of the connecting rod 17 drives the telescopic column 15 and the spring 16 to be compressed, so that the telescopic column 15 and the spring 16 are separated from the limit rod 6, and then the limit rod 6 is pushed to rotate along the connecting shaft 5 to separate from the limit block 7, and finally the handle 8 is pulled so that the handle 8 drives the box cover 3 to rotate along the hinge 2, so as to reduce the operating steps when taking medicine and reduce the risk of children's misoperation causing overdose or accidental ingestion of medicine.
[0041] When the internal temperature of the medicine dispenser needs to be controlled, the internal temperature of the medicine dispenser is detected by the temperature detector 12. When the temperature is high, the refrigeration device 14 is started through the control panel 9. When the temperature is low, the heating device 13 is started through the control panel 9. Then, the micro motor 10 is started through the control panel 9 to drive the medicine frame 11 to rotate, so as to achieve uniform heating or cooling. The intelligent temperature-controlled medicine dispenser can automatically control the internal temperature of the medicine dispenser to prevent temperature fluctuations from affecting the storage quality of medicines.
[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, it is still possible for those skilled in the art to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or to make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
