Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, and particularly relates to a traditional Chinese medicine quantitative medicine-taking device. Background Technique

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine preparations are made from traditional Chinese medicinal materials. Under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine theory, for the need of preventing and treating diseases, they are processed into traditional Chinese medicine products of a certain dosage form according to the prescribed prescription and preparation process, and are a kind of commercial traditional Chinese medicine preparations approved by the national drug regulatory department. Among them, traditional Chinese medicine pills are widely used because they have the advantages of accurate dosage, convenient to carry, helpful for taking, long preservation time, and reducing gastric mucosa irritation.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No.: CN212580549U discloses a traditional Chinese medicine internal medicine quantitative medicine-taking bottle cap, which includes an outer cap. A medicine-dividing tray is arranged inside the outer cap. A plurality of pill grooves are arranged on the end face of the medicine-dividing tray facing the opening of the outer cap and are circularly and evenly distributed along the edge of the medicine-dividing tray. A rotating block is hinged in the center of the medicine-dividing tray. A hand-rotating block is arranged in the center of the end face of the rotating block away from the medicine-dividing tray, and a plurality of medicine-pushing plates are evenly distributed on the circumferential side wall. By manually rotating the hand-rotating block, the rotating block drives the medicine-pushing plates to rotate, so that the pills poured on the medicine-dividing tray are successively pushed into the pill grooves. In the utility model, by manually rotating the hand-rotating block, the rotating block drives the medicine-pushing plates to rotate, so that the pills poured on the medicine-dividing tray are successively pushed into the pill grooves. When it is observed that the pill grooves are all filled with pills, they can be taken, and there is no need to observe and count again after pouring the pills once. It is suitable for older patients to take traditional Chinese medicine pills, and the medicine-taking is convenient and efficient. The above device has the following defects in use:

[0004] 1. The number of pills taken each time for quantitative medicine-taking is the number of pill grooves, and it cannot be flexibly adapted to the actual condition of the patient, so the applicability is not high.

[0005] 2. It is necessary to pour the pills into the outer cap for subsequent medicine-taking, and the extra pills need to be poured back into the medicine bottle again, and the whole process is relatively cumbersome. Content of the Utility Model

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is that the number of pills taken by the existing device is fixed and cannot be flexibly adapted; at the same time, the medicine-taking process is cumbersome and inconvenient. A traditional Chinese medicine quantitative medicine-taking device is proposed for the above problems, which includes a medicine bottle, a lower cover, a medicine tray, an upper cover and a rubber stopper. The medicine bottle is threadedly connected with the lower cover. A first medicine outlet hole is arranged on the lower cover. The rotating shaft on the lower surface of the upper cover passes through the lower cover and is connected with a blocking block for blocking the first medicine outlet hole. A second medicine outlet hole is arranged on the upper cover. The medicine tray is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft and is located between the upper cover and the lower cover. A plurality of through medicine bins are arranged on the medicine tray. The first medicine outlet hole and the second medicine outlet hole are staggered with each other. The second medicine outlet hole is connected with the rubber stopper.

[0007] The technical solution of the present utility model is to set up a structure of a medicine tray between the lower cover and the upper cover. By rotating the medicine tray, the pills enter the medicine bins of the medicine tray in sequence from the first medicine outlet holes on the lower cover. When the medicine bin passes through the second medicine outlet holes on the upper cover, the pills automatically fall out under the action of gravity. There is no need to count the pills after pouring them out. Just rotate the medicine tray until the number of pills falling out reaches the requirement. By setting up the structure of the stopper, when the medicine taking is completed, the first medicine outlet holes are blocked by the stopper to prevent the pills from contacting the outside world and avoid the loss of drug efficacy.

[0008] For the optimization of the technical solution of the present utility model, a first shaft hole A is provided in the middle of the lower cover. The inner side wall of the lower cover is provided with threads. A retaining ring is provided at the top of the threads. A spacer block is provided between the retaining ring and the lower surface of the top of the lower cover. The spacer block is provided with a notch at the position of the first medicine outlet holes. A guiding slope is provided on the side wall of the notch. A limiting block is provided on the lower surface of the spacer block. The first shaft hole A is used to connect with other structures above the lower cover. The threads on the inner side wall of the lower cover are matched with the threads at the mouth of the medicine bottle, so that the lower cover is threadedly connected with the medicine bottle. The retaining ring is used to limit the stopper so that it will not move up and down. The guiding slope guides the pills so that they gather near the first medicine outlet holes and continuously fall into the medicine tray. The limiting block limits the maximum amplitude of the rotation of the stopper to ensure that the stopper can block or expose the first medicine outlet holes and always stagger the first medicine outlet holes and the second medicine outlet holes.

[0009] For the optimization of the technical solution of the present utility model, a first shaft hole B is provided in the middle of the spacer block. The first shaft hole A and the first shaft hole B are communicated with each other. The spacer block increases the wall thickness at the upper end of the lower cover, improves the strength and prevents damage.

[0010] For the optimization of the technical solution of the present utility model, the thickness of the medicine tray is slightly larger than the diameter of the spherical medicine stored. A second shaft hole is provided in the middle of the medicine tray. The rotating shaft passes through the second shaft hole. Therefore, the medicine tray can rotate. The thickness of the medicine tray enables only one pill to be stored in the medicine bin each time, which is convenient for measurement and also prevents the medicine tray from being unable to rotate due to being stuck by redundant pills.

[0011] For the optimization of the technical solution of the present utility model, the diameter of the medicine bin is slightly larger than the diameter of the spherical medicine stored, so that the pills can smoothly fall into the medicine bin.

[0012] For the optimization of the technical solution of the present utility model, the rotating shaft is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. The lower part of the rotating shaft passes through the first shaft hole A and the first shaft hole B to be connected with the stopper. The upper part of the rotating shaft passes through the second shaft hole. Since the rotating shaft is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, after connection, the medicine tray and the stopper will not affect each other during rotation.

[0013] For the optimization of the technical solution of the present utility model, the stopper is located between the spacer block and the retaining ring. The stopper is slightly larger than the notch of the spacer block. A rubber layer is provided on the upper surface of the stopper. When taking medicine, the stopper fits with the spacer block, and the rubber layer is compressed to increase friction to prevent the stopper from rotating. After taking medicine, the stopper blocks the notch to avoid the pills contacting the outside world and causing the loss of drug efficacy.

[0014] For the optimization of the technical solution of the present utility model, the diameter of the rubber stopper is slightly larger than the diameter of the second medicine outlet hole. After the rubber stopper deforms itself, it blocks the second medicine outlet hole to prevent dust, sundries, etc. from falling in.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present utility model compared with the prior art are as follows:

[0016] In the technical solution of the present utility model, by arranging a medicine tray structure between the lower cover and the upper cover, rotating the medicine tray, the pills sequentially enter the medicine bins of the medicine tray from the first medicine outlet hole on the lower cover. When the medicine bin passes through the second medicine outlet hole on the upper cover, the pills automatically fall out by gravity. There is no need to count the pills after pouring them out. It only needs to rotate the medicine tray until the number of pills falling out reaches the requirement. By arranging the structure of the stop block, when the medicine taking is completed, the first medicine outlet hole is blocked by the stop block to prevent the pills from contacting the outside world and avoid the loss of drug efficacy.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0020] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail in conjunction with the attached Figure 1-2 drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Embodiment 1

[0021] As Figure 1-2 shown, the present utility model is a traditional Chinese medicine quantitative medicine taking device, including a medicine bottle 1, a lower cover 2, a medicine tray 3, an upper cover 4 and a rubber stopper 5.

[0022] The outer wall of the bottle mouth of the medicine bottle 1 is provided with threads, and the inner side wall of the lower cover 2 is provided with matching threads. The medicine bottle 1 is threadedly connected to the lower cover 2. The middle of the lower cover 2 is recessed to form a first shaft hole A21, and the lower cover 2 is also recessed to form a first medicine outlet hole 22.

[0023] A spacer block 24 is provided on the inner upper wall of the lower cover 2. A first shaft hole B27 is formed by a central depression in the spacer block 24. The first shaft hole B27 communicates with the first shaft hole A21. A notch is formed in the spacer block 24, and a chamfer is formed at the notch to form a guiding slope 26. The guiding slope 26 gradually contracts from bottom to top and converges towards the first medicine outlet hole 22. The spacer block 24 and the lower cover 2 are of an integral structure. An inner side wall of the lower cover 2 extends towards the center to form a ring-shaped retaining ring 23. There is a certain distance between the retaining ring 23 and the spacer block 24, and the positive projection of the retaining ring 23 upwards does not cover or pass through the first medicine outlet hole 22.

[0024] A rotating shaft 41 protrudes outwards in the middle of the lower surface of the upper cover 4. The rotating shaft 41 is composed of two cylinders with a larger upper part and a smaller lower part. The lower small cylinder passes through the first shaft hole A21 and the first shaft hole B27, and then is connected to a retaining block 43. Specifically, it can be screwed in from the upper part with screws or the like to connect the upper cover 4 and the retaining block 43. At this time, when the upper cover 4 is rotated, the retaining block 43 rotates accordingly.

[0025] The retaining block 43 is located between the retaining ring 23 and the spacer block 24, and its edge is always located above the retaining ring 23. The retaining block 43 is fan-shaped and slightly larger than the notch of the spacer block 24, and can cover it to block the first medicine outlet hole 22.

[0026] A limiting block 25 protrudes downwards on the lower surface of the spacer block 24. When one side of the retaining block 24 is in contact with the limiting block 25, the retaining block 24 blocks the notch and the first medicine outlet hole 22. Then, the retaining block 24 can only be rotated in the reverse direction so that the other side of the retaining block 24 is in contact with the limiting block 25, exposing the notch and the first medicine outlet hole 22.

[0027] A rubber layer is provided on the upper surface of the retaining block 43. When the retaining block 43 blocks the notch, the rubber layer will seal the joint to prevent the pills from contacting the outside world and causing the loss of drug efficacy. When the retaining block 43 does not block the notch, the rubber layer is in contact with the spacer block 24, and the rubber layer deforms slightly to increase friction and prevent it from being inadvertently driven to rotate together to block the notch.

[0028] A second medicine outlet hole 42 is also formed in a concave shape on the upper cover 4. Due to the influence of the limiting block 25, the rotation range of the retaining block 43 is limited, and the rotation range of the upper cover 4 is also limited. The second medicine outlet hole 42 is always staggered with the first medicine outlet hole 22 within the movement range of the upper cover and does not overlap.

[0029] A second shaft hole 31 is formed in a concave shape in the middle of the medicine tray 3. The medicine tray 3 is sleeved outside the large cylinder at the upper part of the rotating shaft 41 through the second shaft hole 31. A plurality of medicine bins 32 are formed in a concave shape at equal distances from the center of the second shaft hole 31 on the medicine tray 3. The medicine bins 32 penetrate through from top to bottom. The thickness of the medicine tray 3 and the diameter of the medicine bins 32 are both slightly larger than the diameter of the pills. Therefore, only one pill can be stored in each medicine bin 32 each time.

[0030] After the device is inverted, the rotating pill passes through the first medicine outlet hole 22 and falls into the medicine bin 32 corresponding to the first medicine outlet hole at this time. Then, rotate the medicine tray 3, and the medicine bin 32 passes under the first medicine outlet hole 22 in turn, and the pills fall into the medicine bin 32 in sequence. When the medicine bin passes through the second medicine outlet hole 42, the pill falls out through the second medicine outlet hole 42. Continue to rotate, and the above process is repeated until the number of dropped pills reaches the requirement.

[0031] After the quantity reaches the requirement, since the second medicine outlet hole 42 and the first medicine outlet hole 22 are staggered, there are still pills in the medicine bin 32 between the two. This part of the pills is redundant. Just place the whole device upright again, continue to rotate the medicine tray 3, the medicine bin 32 passes through the first medicine outlet hole 22 again, and the redundant pills return to the medicine bottle 1 through the first medicine outlet hole 22.

[0032] Rotate the upper cover 4 to make the stopper 43 block the notch and the first medicine outlet hole 22 to prevent the pill from contacting the outside world and causing the loss of drug efficacy. And connect the second medicine outlet hole 42 with the rubber stopper 5. Since the diameter of the rubber stopper 5 is slightly larger than the diameter of the second medicine outlet hole 42, using the elasticity of the rubber stopper 5, it is snapped into the second medicine outlet hole 42 after slight deformation to block the second medicine outlet hole 42 and prevent dust or sundries from falling into it.

[0033] The usage method of a traditional Chinese medicine quantitative medicine-taking device in this embodiment is as follows:

[0034] When taking medicine is needed, rotate the upper cover 4 until one side of the stopper 43 fits against the limit block 25 and cannot be rotated further. Then remove the rubber stopper 5, invert the device, and rotate the medicine tray 3. The pills enter the medicine bin 32 through the first medicine outlet hole 22 on the lower cover 2 in sequence. As the medicine tray 3 rotates, all the medicine bins 32 are gradually filled. And as the medicine bin storing the pills passes through the second medicine outlet hole 42 of the upper cover 4, the pill naturally falls due to gravity. When the number of dropped pills is the same as the required number, the medicine-taking process is completed.

[0035] Then place the device upright and continue to rotate the medicine tray 3. During this process, the medicine bins 32 storing the pills pass through the first medicine outlet hole 22 in sequence, and all the redundant pills inside return to the medicine bottle 1. Then rotate the upper cover 4 in the reverse direction until the other side of the stopper 43 fits against the limit block 25. The stopper 43 gradually moves under the first medicine outlet hole 22 to block the notch of the spacer block 24 to prevent the pill from contacting the outside world. Finally, snap the rubber stopper 5 onto the second medicine outlet hole 42 and place the whole device in a suitable place for storage.

[0036] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical idea of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention cannot be limited thereby. Any changes made on the basis of the technical solution according to the technical idea proposed by the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
