Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical care auxiliary tools, and in particular to a visual oral medicine verification device. Background Art

[0002] Inpatient pharmacies mostly dispense medications in single doses. Medical staff must unpack and dispense various medications according to doctor's orders. This process is prone to contamination and is significantly influenced by human factors, making medication errors prone to occur, posing medication risks to patients. An automatic medication dispenser is a machine that automatically packages a single dose of medication for an inpatient according to doctor's orders. Compared to manual dispensing, this machine not only improves dispensing efficiency and avoids secondary contamination of medications, but also minimizes human errors during medication placement, review, and dispensing, thereby better ensuring medication safety for patients.

[0003] At present, the application of automatic medicine placement machines in major hospitals is gradually increasing. Through the use of automatic medicine placement machines, the efficiency and quality of medicine placement have been significantly improved. Clinically, the medicines taken by hospitalized patients each time are not fixed, but are often adjusted accordingly according to the patient's condition. When the patient's condition changes and the type or dosage of the medicine taken needs to be temporarily adjusted, medical staff need to be able to quickly and accurately identify the corresponding medicine and make corresponding adjustments to avoid delaying the patient's medication and affecting the treatment effect. However, the inventors found in their work that when it is necessary to adjust the type or dosage of a certain medicine in a medicine package, it is often difficult to accurately identify it based on the appearance of the medicine alone. Especially when the type and quantity of the medicines are large and the appearance is relatively similar, the above-mentioned process of adjusting the medicines will consume more time and energy of medical staff, and it is also more likely to make mistakes during the process of adjusting the medicines, thereby bringing greater medication risks to patients. In the prior art, medical staff would print the names, dosages, and effects of commonly used oral medications in the ward on a piece of paper in advance, put the paper together with the medications into a small plastic bag, and then fix the bag in a folder with wide transparent tape. In this way, when the nurse wants to pick out a certain medication, she can pick it out by comparing it with the small medicine bag in the folder. However, this method is inconvenient to search, and during the search process, the tablets are frequently rubbed back and forth in the small plastic bag, which can easily cause the surface of the tablets to be worn to the point of being difficult to identify or directly broken.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need to provide an oral medication verification device that can quickly and accurately identify the medications in a medication pack. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the technical defects in the prior art that it is difficult to identify relevant drugs when adjusting the drugs in the medicine package, and when the types and quantities of drugs are large and the appearances are relatively similar, the drug adjustment process will waste a lot of time and energy of medical staff, and it is more likely to make mistakes during the drug adjustment process, thereby bringing greater medication risks to patients, thereby providing a visual oral medicine verification device that can quickly and accurately identify the drugs in the medicine package.

[0006] To this end, the present invention provides a visual oral medication verification device, comprising a plurality of comparison boxes stacked vertically, wherein any two adjacent comparison boxes are rotatably connected via a connecting member, and the comparison boxes include:

[0007] The box body is made of a transparent material and has a plurality of independent comparison units inside. Each comparison unit includes a drug storage cavity with an upper opening and an identification area for identifying drug information of the drug contained in the drug storage cavity;

[0044] In this embodiment, the comparison box can be easily disassembled and assembled through the cooperation of the plug 11 and the socket 12, so that it is more convenient to use.

[0045] The visual oral medicine verification device of this embodiment further comprises a limiting structure including an annular limiting protrusion 121, an annular limiting groove 111 and a vertical opening 112; the annular limiting protrusion 121 is formed on the inner wall of the socket 12; the annular limiting groove 111 is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the plug 11; the vertical opening 112 is axially opened on the plug 11, and multiple openings are opened in the circumferential direction of the plug 11, so that the outer diameter of the plug 11 can be reduced under the action of external force and can be restored when the external force disappears; when the plug 11 is inserted into or pulled out of the socket 12, the annular limiting protrusion 121 can be inserted into or pulled out of the annular limiting groove 111.

[0046] The visual oral medicine verification device of this embodiment further comprises the socket 12 being located at the lower end of the connector 1 and the plug 11 being located at the upper end of the connector 1; the upper end of the plug 11 protrudes from the upper end surface of the box body 2, and the lower end of the socket 12 does not protrude from the lower end surface of the box body 2.

[0047] In this embodiment, the socket 12 is located at the lower end of the connector 1 and the lower end of the socket 12 does not protrude from the lower end surface of the box body 2. For example, the lower end of the socket 12 can be flush with the lower end surface of the box body 2, thereby ensuring the stability of the bottom box body 2.

[0048] The visual oral medicine verification device of this embodiment further has the length of the annular limiting protrusion 121 from the open end of the socket 12 being smaller than the length of the annular limiting groove 111 from the top surface of the box body 2, so that when the plug 11 is inserted into the upper socket 12, the two adjacent box bodies 2 do not contact each other.

[0049] In this embodiment, two adjacent box bodies 2 do not contact each other, which can reduce friction between the box bodies 2 and ensure the durability of the box bodies 2.

[0050] In the visual oral medicine verification device of this embodiment, further, the box body 2 is circular, and the comparison unit 21 includes a first comparison unit located at the center of the box body 2 and a plurality of second comparison units arranged around the first comparison unit.

[0051] In this embodiment, different medicines can be placed in the first comparison unit and the second comparison unit as needed. For example, for the first comparison unit, since it is located at the center of the box body 2, certain special medicines can be placed in the first comparison unit, so that they are more eye-catching than the medicines placed in the second comparison unit.

[0052] The visual oral medicine verification device of this embodiment further includes a label 4, which is multiple and detachably arranged on multiple box bodies 2; the label 4 is arranged to protrude from the box body 2 in the horizontal direction, and the multiple labels 4 are staggered in the vertical direction.

[0053] In this embodiment, the label 4 can record the information of the medicines stored in the box body 2. For example, a certain category of medicines can be placed in the same box body 2, and the information of the medicines of this category can be recorded on the corresponding label 4, so that medical staff can quickly and accurately locate the corresponding box body 2 according to the medicine information of the target medicine.

[0054] In the visual oral medicine verification device of this embodiment, when the sealing cover 3 is covered on the opening of the medicine storage cavity 211 , the upper end surface of the sealing cover 3 is lower than the upper end surface of the box body 2 .

[0055] In this embodiment, the upper end surface of the sealing cover 3 is lower than the upper end surface of the box body 2 , which can prevent the upper end surface of the sealing cover 3 from being rubbed, thereby preventing the transparency of the sealing cover 3 from being affected.

[0056] In the visual oral medicine verification device of this embodiment, the sealing cover 3 further includes a cover body 31 and a handle 32 provided at one end of the cover body 31 .

[0057] The visual oral medication verification device of this embodiment works as follows:

[0058] When it is necessary to remove the target drug from the patient's oral medication, the medical staff first finds the corresponding label 4 based on the drug information of the target drug and verifies the information recorded on the label 4. After verification, the box body 2 corresponding to the label 4 is rotated so that it rotates around the connecting member 1, and the comparison units 21 on the box body 2 are exposed;

[0059] According to the drug information of the target drug, the corresponding identification area 212 is found, and the drug information marked on the identification area 212 is compared with the drug information of the target drug. After the comparison is correct, the corresponding drug storage cavity 211 is found according to the identification area 212, and then the target drug is identified according to the drug in the drug storage cavity 211 and removed;

[0060] When a new drug needs to be added and a new comparison tray is needed at the same time, the comparison tray can be installed in an appropriate position according to the pre-defined placement order of the comparison trays. For example, the new comparison tray can be connected to the top or bottom comparison tray in chronological order, or it can be installed adjacent to similar drugs according to the category to which the new drug belongs. At the same time, a label 4 with relevant information is installed on the box body 2 of the comparison tray. When a comparison tray needs to be removed, the corresponding comparison tray can be directly disassembled.

[0061] When it is necessary to add medicine to the comparison disk, the corresponding medicine only needs to be placed in the unactivated medicine storage cavity 211, and the medicine storage cavity 211 is sealed with the sealing cover 3, and then the corresponding medicine information is marked in the identification area 212.

[0062] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clarity of explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that other variations or modifications based on the above descriptions are possible. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here. Obvious variations or modifications arising therefrom remain within the scope of protection of this innovative technical solution.
