Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medicine boxes, and in particular relates to a stackable medicine box and a stackable medicine box group. Background Art

[0002] A medicine box is a box specially used to package medicines. A medicine box has one or more compartments, each of which stores a dose of medicine. The medicine box is easy to carry, small in size, and beautiful in appearance. Due to these characteristics, the compartmented medicine box is increasingly valued in the medical industry.

[0003] When stackable medicine boxes are currently stacked up, the outer wall of the upper medicine box and the inner wall of the lower medicine box will come into contact with each other, so there is friction between the upper medicine box and the lower medicine box. When they are in full contact, negative air pressure will be generated when taking and placing the medicine boxes. Therefore, it may be difficult to remove the upper medicine box, affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model discloses a stackable medicine box, which can avoid the outer wall of the upper medicine box and the inner wall of the lower medicine box from contacting each other when stacked based on structural improvement, so that it is easier to remove the upper medicine box on the basis of meeting the stacking requirements, effectively improving the user experience. The utility model also discloses a stackable medicine box group having the above stackable medicine box.

[0005] The specific technical solution of the utility model is as follows:

[0006] A stackable medicine box, comprising:

[0007] A plurality of medicine storage bins connected end to end along a circumference, wherein between any two adjacent medicine storage bins, the upper portion has a common bin wall, and the lower portion has a stacking groove formed between the respective bin walls;

[0008] When two medicine boxes are stacked up and down, the common compartment wall between the two medicine storage compartments in the lower medicine box is located in the stacking groove of the upper medicine box, and there is a gap between the two medicine boxes in the radial direction.

[0009] With regard to the prior art, when medicine boxes are stacked, the outer wall of the upper medicine box and the inner wall of the lower medicine box will come into contact with each other. Therefore, when taking and placing the medicine boxes, due to the friction and / or the negative air pressure when taking and placing the medicine boxes, it will be difficult to take out the upper medicine box. Generally, the upper medicine box cannot be taken out from the lower medicine box, or in the process of taking out the upper medicine box, the lower medicine box is moved together. Therefore, when there is a gap between the two medicine boxes in the radial direction, there is a relative separation between the two medicine boxes, which can avoid the outer wall of the upper medicine box and the inner wall of the lower medicine box from coming into contact with each other, so that the two medicine boxes will not have difficulty in taking out the upper medicine box due to the friction and / or the negative air pressure when taking and placing the medicine boxes, thereby improving the user experience.

[0010] Preferably, the diameter of the medicine storage bin gradually decreases from its open end to its closed end.

[0011] The structure is simple, and when the medicine boxes are stacked, a part of the upper medicine box can be well accommodated in the lower medicine box, thereby saving storage space and transportation costs.

[0012] Preferably, a positioning hole is provided in the middle of the medicine box.

[0013] When the medicine box is used in automated equipment, it can realize automatic loading and / or automatic sealing through the automated equipment. Therefore, in the above process, the medicine box needs to be positioned. At this time, the positioning hole can meet the positioning requirement.

[0014] Preferably, the medicine storage bin has a raised portion, and the raised portion is arranged along the edge of the opening end of the medicine storage bin.

[0015] The sealing of the medicine box is achieved by welding the sealing film. Since the protrusion has a certain extension height relative to the open end surface of the medicine box, the protrusion and the sealing film will be welded together during the sealing operation, thereby achieving a better sealing effect.

[0016] Preferably, a portion of the protrusion is formed by extending from a common wall of two adjacent medicine storage bins, and when two medicine boxes are stacked up and down, the portion of the protrusion of the lower medicine box abuts against the bottom of the stacking groove of the upper medicine box.

[0017] This structure avoids setting up two adjacent protrusions, thereby preventing medicine powder from accumulating between adjacent protrusions during the medicine dispensing process, thereby avoiding medicine powder splashing when tearing the film, and effectively improving the user experience.

[0018] Preferably, the opening end of the medicine box is provided with a flange along the circumferential direction, and the flange is provided with a clamping notch.

[0019] The clamping notch enables the robot arm of the automation equipment to easily carry the medicine box for transportation operations.

[0020] Preferably, the flange is provided with a positioning notch.

[0021] During the drug dispensing process, the positioning notch can prevent the medicine box from rotating along its axis, so that when all the drug storage bins of the medicine box are loaded with drugs at the same time, all the drug storage bins are ensured to be directly below the corresponding drug dispensing mechanism, thereby preventing drug powder from entering adjacent drug storage bins.

[0022] Preferably, the medicine storage bin is provided with axially arranged ribs, and the ribs are configured as overlapping portion one.

[0023] The inner wall of the medicine storage bin may be provided with ribs, which serve as a lap joint for abutting against the upper medicine box. When the medicine boxes are stacked, the medicine storage bin of the upper medicine box may abut against the ribs, thereby adjusting the stacking height according to actual needs.

[0024] Preferably, the medicine storage bin is provided with a step portion toward the inside, and the step portion is configured as a second overlapping portion.

[0025] The inner wall of the medicine storage bin may be provided with a step portion, which serves as a second overlapping portion abutting against an upper medicine box. When the medicine boxes are stacked, the medicine storage bin of the upper medicine box may abut against the step portion, thereby adjusting the stacking height according to actual needs.

[0026] The stacked medicine box set comprises a plurality of medicine boxes as described above, and the plurality of medicine boxes are stacked in sequence along the up-down direction.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the utility model can realize the stacking of medicine boxes, save storage space, and reduce transportation costs; the utility model can avoid the outer wall of the upper medicine box and the inner wall of the lower medicine box from contacting each other when the medicine boxes are stacked, so that the upper medicine box can be easily removed; in addition, in this embodiment, a part of the raised portion is formed by extending from the common warehouse wall of adjacent medicine storage bins, and when two medicine boxes are stacked up and down, this part of the raised portion can abut against the bottom of the stacking groove, thereby meeting the stacking requirements, and at the same time, it can also avoid the appearance of a gap between two adjacent medicine storage bins, which causes the medicine powder to be stacked in the gap.

[0035] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0036] like Figure 1 to Figure 5 As shown, a stackable medicine box includes a plurality of medicine storage bins 1 connected end to end along a circumference, between any two adjacent medicine storage bins 1, the upper portion has a common bin wall 2, and the lower portion has a stacking groove 3 formed between the respective bin walls; when two medicine boxes are stacked up and down, the common bin wall 2 between the two medicine storage bins 1 in the lower medicine box is located in the stacking groove 3 of the upper medicine box, and the two medicine boxes have a gap in the radial direction.

[0037] With the implementation of the new national standard for Chinese medicine granules, the same prescription requires a larger volume of medicine box to be loaded, but the volume of the medicine box increases, which results in an increase in the storage space of the empty medicine box, and the same packaging box can only hold fewer empty medicine boxes, and the transportation cost increases. Therefore, in this embodiment, based on the premise that the medicine boxes can be stacked, structural improvements are made so that the stacked medicine boxes can meet the use requirements of easy separation. In addition, in the prior art, there is a medicine box with an easy-tear opening between adjacent medicine storage bins 1, which can facilitate tearing the sealing film on the two adjacent medicine storage bins 1. Therefore, in the technical solution with an easy-tear opening, the easy-tear opening is used as a gap between two adjacent medicine storage bins 1, which is easy to cause the powder to accumulate in the easy-tear opening when the medicine is dispensed, so that in the process of tearing the sealing film, the powder will splash, thereby reducing the user's experience. Therefore, in this embodiment, on the basis of having a common bin wall 2 between any two adjacent medicine storage bins 1, there is no longer an easy-tear opening between the two medicine storage bins 1, so that the medicine powder will not accumulate in the easy-tear opening when the medicine is put in, and therefore will not cause the medicine powder to splash in the process of tearing open the sealing film; when the medicine boxes are stacked, the common bin wall 2 of the lower medicine storage bin 1 is in the stacking groove 3 of the upper medicine box, and a part of the upper medicine box can be placed inside the lower medicine box, so the storage space can be effectively saved. At the same time, for the prior art, the outer wall of the upper medicine box and the inner wall of the lower medicine box can form mutual contact, so when taking and placing the medicine box, due to friction and / or negative air pressure when taking and placing the medicine box, it will cause certain difficulties in taking out the upper medicine box. Therefore, when stacking the medicine boxes, if the two medicine boxes have a gap in the radial direction, the two medicine boxes can be easily separated.

[0038] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, when two medicine boxes are stacked, the top of the common wall 2 of the lower adjacent medicine storage bins 1 overlaps the bottom of the stacking groove 3 of the upper medicine box. In some embodiments, it can also be achieved through different technical solutions, such as Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the medicine storage bin 1 is provided with ribs arranged along the axial direction, and the ribs are configured as overlapping portions 4. At this time, when two medicine boxes are stacked, the bottom surface of the upper medicine box overlaps at the overlapping portion 4. Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the medicine storage bin 1 is provided with a step portion toward the inside, and the step portion is configured as a lap joint 2 5. At this time, when two medicine boxes are stacked, the bottom surface of the upper medicine box is overlapped at the lap joint 2 5. The stacking requirement is thereby met. Furthermore, the diameter of the medicine storage bin 1 gradually decreases from its open end to the closed end. Specifically, the medicine storage bin 1 in this embodiment is roughly conical, and its taper makes the width of the stacking groove 3 formed between any two medicine storage bins 1 not less than the wall thickness of the medicine storage bin 1, so that when two medicine boxes are stacked, the two medicine boxes are prevented from contacting in the radial direction, so that natural falling off is achieved on the basis of the gap between the two stacked medicine boxes, that is, after the two medicine boxes are stacked, they can move freely in the up and down directions.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the medicine box has a positioning hole 6 in the middle. Specifically, the cross-section of the medicine storage bin 1 in this embodiment is fan-shaped, and the top corners are chamfered. Therefore, when multiple medicine storage bins 1 are arranged along the circumference and connected end to end, the middle of the formed medicine box has a positioning hole 6. Through this hole, a positioning basis can be provided for the medicine box on the basis of avoiding additional processes, thereby better meeting the operating requirements of automated equipment. In some other embodiments, the medicine box also includes an intermediate column, and multiple medicine storage bins 1 are arranged along the circumference and connected to the outer circumferential surface of the intermediate column, and a positioning hole 6 is opened in the middle of the intermediate column, which can also realize the positioning function on the basis of realizing the connection of the medicine storage bins 1.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the medicine storage bin 1 has a raised portion 7, and the raised portion 7 is arranged along the edge of the opening end of the medicine storage bin 1. Further, a part of the raised portion 7 is formed by extending from the common bin wall 2 of the two adjacent medicine storage bins 1. When the two medicine boxes are stacked up and down, the raised portion 7 of the lower medicine box abuts against the bottom of the stacking groove 3 of the upper medicine box. In this embodiment, after the medicine box is loaded with medicine, the raised portion 7 can well ensure the quality of hot melt sealing. It is known that in the medicine box without the raised portion 7, the contact area between the surface of its open end and the sealing film is large, so a greater force is required during the welding process to meet the sealing requirements. It should be understood that the surface of the open end of the medicine box cannot be completely flat, so after the high point contacts the sealing film, if there is no corresponding force to continue to press down, the low point cannot contact the sealing film. In this embodiment, the raised portion 7 and the sealing film are integrated at high temperature, and stable sealing can be achieved after cooling. It is known that when there is a gap between two adjacent drug storage bins 1, although it is convenient to separate the drug storage bins 1 with scissors, on the basis of the sealing of the sealing film, it is easy for the drug powder to be put in to accumulate in the gap between the two adjacent drug storage bins 1. Therefore, in the process of separating the drug storage bins 1 with scissors, the accumulated drug powder will also splash. Therefore, when the protrusion 7 can be formed by extending the common bin wall 2 of any two adjacent drug storage bins 1, it can well prevent the drug powder from accumulating on the surface of the opening end of the medicine box when putting the drug. Although there is no need to cut at this time, it can also prevent the accumulated drug powder from splashing when the sealing film is torn and the drug storage bin 1 is opened separately. At the same time, the protrusion 7 formed by extending the common bin wall 2 of any two adjacent drug storage bins 1 can also serve as the ribs of the medicine box, which plays a role in stabilizing the overall structure of the medicine box, thereby preventing too little connecting material between the drug storage bins 1, which leads to a decrease in the strength of the entire medicine box after being connected together, and also avoiding the medicine box center from being concave downward after more medicine is loaded. It should be noted that the gap between the two medicine storage bins 1 mentioned above can be an easy-tear notch in the prior art, or can be a gap between adjacent raised portions 7 of two adjacent medicine storage bins 1 .

[0041] like Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, the open end of the medicine box is provided with a flange 8 along the circumferential direction. Furthermore, although the positioning of the medicine box can be achieved by the positioning hole 6, in the process of dispensing medicine, it should be ensured that each medicine storage bin 1 of the medicine box corresponds to the dispensing of medicine, that is, when the medicine storage bin 1 has adjacent A bin and B bin, and medicine A and medicine B are dispensed respectively, it should be avoided that the A bin receives the B medicine and the B bin receives the A medicine. It should be noted that in the actual operation process, the A medicine and the B medicine can be the same medicine or different medicines. Therefore, the flange 8 is provided with a positioning notch 9. The clamping notch 10 can prevent the medicine box from rotating around its central axis, thereby stabilizing the dispensing posture. In addition, the flange 8 is provided with a clamping notch 10. The automated equipment can well realize the transportation of the medicine box through the clamping notch 10. In this embodiment, the positioning notch 9 and the clamping notch 10 can form a synergistic cooperation to better stabilize the dispensing posture of the medicine box.

[0042] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, based on the above embodiment, this embodiment further discloses a stacked medicine box set, including multiple medicine boxes as described above, and multiple medicine boxes are stacked in sequence along the vertical direction. Multiple medicine boxes can form a combined stacked product that saves storage space, thereby saving transportation costs.

[0043] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that the above preferred embodiments should not be regarded as limiting the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention should be based on the scope defined by the claims. For ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
