[0013] Figure 2 This is a diagram of the internal structure of a medicine bottle cap provided by an embodiment of the present utility model;

[0014] Figure 3 It is a cross-sectional view of a medicine bottle cap provided in an embodiment of the present utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0016] In order to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, specific embodiments are provided below.

[0017] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the medicine bottle cap that can be used to divide medicines provided in this embodiment includes a cover body 1, a horizontal partition 2 is provided in the cover body 1, a closing plate 3 and a flip plate 4 are provided on the top of the cover body 1, the flip plate 4 is connected to the closing plate 3 by a rotating shaft, a limiting seat 5 is provided in the partition 2, a cutter assembly 6 is slidably provided in the limiting seat 5, a push plate 7 is provided on the top of the cutter assembly 6 passing through the closing plate 3, an elastic assembly 8 is provided at the rear of the cutter assembly 6, and a groove seat 9 is provided in front of the cutter assembly 6.

[0018] In this structure, there is a partition inside the medicine bottle cap, which divides the bottle cap into two spaces, the lower space being a threaded opening that is directly screwed into the bottle mouth, and has the same function as a conventional medicine bottle cap. The upper space is used to realize the medicine separation function. The flip plate on the top of the medicine bottle cap can be opened. As a specific method, the flip plate and the bottle cap are connected by a snap-fit ​​method, which is convenient for opening and closing. There is also a cutter assembly in the upper space, and behind the cutter assembly is an elastic assembly. In the figure, the elastic assembly is a spring. There is a push plate on the top of the medicine bottle cap that can move back and forth. By operating the push plate to move, the cutter assembly can be driven to move.

[0019] When the medicine needs to be separated, first push the push plate backward to make the cutter assembly retreat, then place the tablet vertically in the groove seat for positioning, and then gently release the push plate. Under the action of the spring, the cutter assembly contacts the tablet. In this case, the tablet is firmly restrained and will not shake. After closing the flip cover, you can directly push the push plate forward and use the front end of the cutter assembly to squeeze and separate the tablets. Another way of operation is to push the push plate backward, the spring is compressed, and then release the push plate. Under the action of the spring, the cutter assembly quickly resets to hit the tablet, and the tablet can also be cut. Both methods can achieve the function of separating medicine. The second operation method is simpler and more interesting.

[0020] As a specific structure, the limit seat 5 is n-shaped, with a slide groove 51 on the top. The cutter assembly 6 includes a knife rod 61 located within the limit seat 5. The front end of the knife rod 61 is a blade 62. The top of the knife rod 61 is formed with a linkage block 63 that extends through the slide groove 51. The closing plate 3 has a corresponding short groove (not shown in the figure) corresponding to the slide groove position. The linkage block 63 extends through the short groove and is fixed to the push plate 7. The tail end of the knife rod 61 is a stopper 64. The inner wall of the cover body 1 located above the partition is also formed with a pier 11. The pier 11 has a circular hole 12. The elastic component 8 is inserted into the circular hole 12, and the elastic component 8 abuts against the stopper 64.

[0021] In this structure, a stopper at the end of the shank limits its movement. This also increases the contact area with the spring, making the shank's movement more stable. The linkage block is located within the chute, while the chute at the top of the limiter seat limits the guide rod's movement. Furthermore, one end of the spring engages a circular hole in the pier, preventing it from falling out and ensuring operational stability.

[0022] As a specific structure of the groove seat 9, the groove seat 9 has an arcuate groove 91, and the back of the groove seat 9 is a contact plate 93. The tablet is placed in the arcuate groove 91, and the tablet is placed more stably. In the figure, the front side of the groove seat 9 has a V-shaped opening 92 inwardly opened, and the blade 62 can enter the V-shaped opening 92 to cut the tablet.

[0023] A vertical plate 13 is provided on the partition 2, below the pivoting position of the closing plate and the flip cover. When the flip cover is opened after the tablets are cut, they typically remain in the recessed seat or fall onto the partition. The vertical plate prevents the cut tablets from sliding into the rear space, making them difficult to pour out.

[0024] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
