[0032] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a medicine box for elderly care, comprising a box body 1 and a base 2, and further comprising:

[0033] Magnifying glass 8, a rotating shaft 3 is fixed on the top of the base 2, the box body 1 is sleeved on the circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 3, a plurality of partitions 4 are fixed on the inner wall of the box body 1, the partitions 4 are used to divide the internal space of the box body 1 into a plurality of medicine storage cavities 5, the top of the box body 1 is covered with a plurality of cover plates 6 corresponding to the top position of the medicine storage cavity 5, a label box 7 is fixed on the top of the cover plate 6, the label box 7 is used to store labels for identifying medicines, a square ring 17 is provided above the label box 7, the magnifying glass 8 is fixed in the square ring 17, the magnifying glass 8 is used to magnify the text on the label in the label box 7, the square ring 17 An adjustment component 9 is provided on the side, which is used to adjust the height of the magnifying glass 8. The partition 4 is used to form a plurality of independent medicine storage chambers 5 in the internal space of the box 1, so as to classify and store medicines of different types and uses, making it convenient for the elderly to quickly find the medicines they need. The labels stored in the label box 7 can clearly inform the user of key information such as the name, efficacy, usage and dosage of the medicines in each medicine storage chamber 5. Combined with the magnifying glass 8, it greatly improves the accuracy of the elderly in obtaining medicine information and reduces the risk of medication errors due to misidentification of medicines.

[0034] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a number of metal sheets 20 are inlaid at the bottom of the box body 1. The number of metal sheets 20 corresponds to the number of medicine storage chambers 5, and the metal sheets 20 are located directly below the label box 7. A magnet block 21 is inlaid on the top of the base 2. The metal sheet 20 is an iron sheet. The metal sheet 20 at the bottom of the box body 1 cooperates with the magnet block 21 at the top of the base 2. When the box body 1 rotates, the metal sheet 20 will generate magnetic force through the magnet block 21, causing the rotation of the box body 1 to pause. During the pause, the elderly can use the magnifying glass 8 to carefully observe the label text information in the corresponding label box 7 without manually and accurately controlling the rotation angle and pause position of the box body 1, which simplifies the operation process, improves the use efficiency, and ensures the stability and accuracy when observing the drug information.

[0035] like Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a plurality of anti-slip grooves are provided on the outer wall of the box body 1. The anti-slip grooves on the outer wall of the box body 1 can increase the friction between the user's hands and the box body 1, effectively preventing the hands from slipping when the elderly rotate the box body 1, making the rotation operation smoother and easier.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the adjustment component 9 includes a circular groove 13 opened at the top of the rotating shaft 3, and a spring 12 is fixed to the inner wall of the circular groove 13. A vertical shaft 11 is fixed to the top of the spring 12, and a pressure block 10 is fixed to the top of the vertical shaft 11. A connecting block 16 is fixed to the circumferential surface of the vertical shaft 11, and a circular ring 14 is fixed to the top of the rotating shaft 3. A notch 15 is opened at the top of the circular ring 14, and the inner wall of the notch 15 is slidably connected to the side of the connecting block 16. The side of the connecting block 16 away from the vertical shaft 11 is fixedly connected to the side of the square ring 17. When the pressure block 10 is pressed, the spring 12 is compressed by the vertical shaft 11, so that the connecting block 16 slides in the notch 15 of the circular ring 14, thereby driving the square ring 17 and the magnifying glass 8 to move downward to achieve height adjustment and change the distance between the magnifying glass 8 and the label box 7 to adapt to different vision conditions, so that the magnifying glass 8 can clearly magnify the text on the label in the label box 7, making it convenient for the elderly to read key information of the medicine and accurately identify the required medicine.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the top of the pressing block 10 is a completely upward curved surface. When the elderly press the pressing block 10, the curved surface can better fit the palm, reducing discomfort in the palm during pressing, making the operation more comfortable, and preventing the hand from being hurt.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, a magnet ring 18 is embedded in the bottom of the square ring 17, and a metal ring 19 is embedded in the top of the cover 6. The metal ring 19 is an iron ring. The magnetic attraction between the magnet ring 18 at the bottom of the square ring 17 and the metal ring 19 at the top of the cover 6 provides a convenient way to open the cover 6. When it is necessary to take medicine, the magnet ring 18 and the metal ring 19 are magnetically attracted by pressing the pressing block 10, and the cover 6 is driven to move upward and open with the help of the magnetic force. There is no need for the elderly to manually lift the cover 6. The operation is simple and easy to use.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a shift block 22 is fixed to the side of the cover plate 6. When placing the medicine in the medicine storage cavity 5, the cover plate 6 can be opened by holding the shift block 22 and moving it upward, thereby facilitating the placement of the medicine.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the bottom of the base 2 is fixed with anti-skid feet, which are used to prevent the entire medicine box from moving at will, thereby achieving stable placement of the medicine box.

[0041] Working principle: Move the dial block 22 to open the cover 6, then place different medicines in each medicine storage cavity 5 separated by the partition 4 inside the box 1, and store the label identifying the medicine stored in the medicine storage cavity 5 in the label box 7 on the top cover 6 of the corresponding medicine storage cavity 5;

[0042] When the elderly need to take medicine, if they want to check the medicine information, they can press the pressure block 10, and the pressure block 10 drives the vertical shaft 11 to compress the spring 12 downward. The connecting block 16 on the vertical shaft 11 slides in the notch 15 of the ring 14, and the connecting block 16 drives the square ring 17 and the magnifying glass 8 fixed in the square ring 17 to descend, changing the distance between the magnifying glass 8 and the label box 7 to adapt to different vision conditions, so that the magnifying glass 8 can clearly magnify the text on the label in the label box 7, making it convenient for the elderly to read the key information of the medicine and accurately identify the required medicine. Then, the box body 1 is rotated, and the box body 1 drives the magnifying glass 8 at different positions to move forward. The label box 7 on the cover plate 6 passes the bottom position of the magnifying glass 8 in sequence. When the box body 1 is rotated, the box body 1 drives the multiple metal sheets 20 to pass the position of the magnet block 21 in sequence. Due to the magnetic interaction between the metal sheets 20 and the magnet block 21, the rotation of the box body 1 will be affected by the magnetic force and produce a brief pause every time the metal sheets 20 correspond to the magnet block 21. During each pause, the user can conveniently use the magnifying glass 8 to carefully observe the text information on the label in the corresponding label box 7, thereby clearly knowing the detailed information of the medicine stored in the medicine storage cavity 5;

[0043] After determining that the required medicine is in the medicine storage chamber 5, it is necessary to open the cover 6 to take the medicine, and press the pressure block 10 of the adjustment component 9 again to make the magnet ring 18 at the bottom of the square ring 17 drop and contact and magnetically attract the metal ring 19 on the top of the cover 6. Then release the pressure block 10, and the spring 12 rebounds. Under the action of the magnetic attraction force of the magnet ring 18 and the metal ring 19, the cover 6 moves upward and opens. Then the box body 1 can be rotated so that the box body 1 rotates around the rotating shaft 3, so that the medicine storage chamber 5 is rotated to the side of the magnifying glass 8, and the elderly can take the medicine from the medicine storage chamber 5 for taking. After taking the medicine, the medicine storage chamber 5 with the open cover 6 is rotated to the bottom of the cover 6 magnetically attracted by the magnet ring 18, and the cover 6 is pressed to cover the top of the medicine storage chamber 5.

[0044] The present invention encompasses any substitutions, modifications, equivalent methods, and solutions that are not within the spirit and scope of the present invention. To provide a thorough understanding of the present invention, specific details are described in detail in the preferred embodiments of the present invention above, but those skilled in the art can fully understand the present invention without these detailed descriptions.

[0045] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
