Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical auxiliary tools, in particular to a tablet cutter for divided-dose medicines. Background Art

[0002] A split-dose tablet cutter is designed to help patients accurately split their tablets into smaller doses. This device is particularly useful for patients who need to take lower-than-standard doses of medication, such as children, the elderly, or underweight adults, as well as those who need to adjust their dosage according to their doctor's instructions.

[0003] However, in actual use, the dose-dividing tablet cutter is used to divide the tablets. Because different dosages of tablets produce different effects, they need to be divided and swallowed. Most of the tablets used on the market are round, so when cutting, they are usually cut into halves, thirds and quarters. The existing tablet cutter places the tablets in a V-shaped plate and cuts them with the blade in the cutter cover. However, when cutting, the tablets can only be cut into halves and quarters, and cannot be accurately cut into one-third of the tablets, which leads to limitations in its use. For this reason, we propose a dose-dividing tablet cutter. Utility Model Content

[0004] A technical problem to be solved by this application is: how to design a dose-dividing tablet cutter that can accurately cut a tablet into three equal parts.

[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the practical embodiment to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the practical embodiment. Obviously, the described embodiment is only a part of the embodiment of this utility, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiment of this utility, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this utility.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] See also Figure 1-7 , this utility provides a technical solution:

[0031] A tablet cutter for divided-dose medicines comprises a storage tank, a connecting disk arranged on the storage tank, a placement shell arranged in the storage tank, and a rotating disk movably arranged inside the connecting disk, wherein the placement shell is used to place tablets for cutting, and further comprises:

[0032] The chute is located at the top of the connecting plate. There are four chute slots, two of which are 180 degrees apart and the other two are 120 degrees apart. The angle between the two 120-degree chute slots and the adjacent 180-degree chute slot is 60 degrees.

[0033] A lifting plate, the lifting plate is movably arranged inside the corresponding chute;

[0034] The blades are movably arranged inside the bottom end of the connecting plate and correspond to the positions of the four slide slots. Two blades at 180 degrees are used to cut tablets into two and four equal parts. The other two blades at 120 degrees and one at 180 degrees form a 120-degree angle with each other, so they can cut tablets into three equal parts.

[0035] The limiting assembly is arranged on the rotating disk and is used to prevent the rotating disk from rotating inside the connecting disk.

[0036] A connecting groove is provided on the outer surface of the rotating disk, and the limiting assembly includes a button movably arranged on the inner wall of the connecting groove. A first spring is arranged inside the connecting groove, and the two ends of the first spring are respectively arranged on the side of the button and the inner wall of the connecting groove. The first spring can be squeezed and deformed by pressing the button, and the set first spring has a reset function.

[0037] The outer surface of the rotating disk is provided with a groove connected to the connecting groove. A card block is movably provided inside the groove. The top of the card block is set at the bottom of the button. The inner wall of the connecting disk is provided with two card slots with an angle of 30 degrees to each other, and the card block is movably set inside the corresponding card slot. By moving the button, the card block can be driven to move out of the corresponding card slot, so that the rotating disk can rotate inside the connecting disk.

[0038] The top of the connecting disk is provided with an annular groove connected to the four slide grooves, and the tops of the four lifting plates are provided with inclined grooves. Five inclined blocks are movably provided on the inner wall of the annular groove, and the tops of the five inclined blocks are all provided at the bottom end of the rotating disk. Two inclined blocks with an angle of 180 degrees are movably provided on the inner walls of the inclined grooves opened on the corresponding two lifting plates. The inclined surfaces of the inclined blocks correspond to the inclined grooves opened on the corresponding lifting plates, respectively, which can drive the lifting plates to move in and out of the slide grooves.

[0039] The three oblique blocks are arranged at 120 degrees to each other, two of which are movably arranged in the oblique grooves opened at the top of the corresponding lifting plates, and the other oblique block is movably arranged in the oblique groove opened at the top of the adjacent lifting plate. The three oblique blocks can drive the corresponding three blades at 120 degrees to extend to cut the tablets.

[0040] A sliding rod is provided inside the lifting plate, and the bottom end of the sliding rod is provided at the top of the corresponding blade. The outer surface of the sliding rod is provided with a second spring, and the two ends of the second spring are respectively provided at the bottom of the lifting plate and in the sliding groove. The function of the second spring is to reset the blade to avoid damage during conversion cutting.

[0041] When using the device, first, you need to put the tablet into the placement shell 13. At this time, you need to squeeze the button 42 to slide inside the connecting groove 44, while driving the card block 41 to move in the groove 45, and squeeze the first spring 43. When it reaches the inside of the card slot 46 at 180 degrees, release the button 42. The first spring 43 drives the button 42 to reset, and the button 42 drives the card block 41 to be stuck in the corresponding card slot 46. At this time, when the rotating disk 2 is moved inside the connecting disk 3, the rotating disk 2 drives the five inclined blocks 8 set at the bottom to move, two of which are The 180-degree inclined block 8 slides inside the annular groove 7. The two inclined blocks 8 contact the corresponding 180-degree lifting plates 6 and the inside of the inclined groove 10, driving the lifting plates 6 to slide inside the slide groove 9. The lifting plates 6 drive the internally arranged slide rod 11 to move and squeeze the second spring 12 to deform. At the same time, the slide rod 11 drives the blade 5 set at the bottom to extend from the inside of the connecting disk 3. Pressing the rotating disk 2 can drive the two 180-degree blades 5 to cut the tablets. After cutting into two equal parts, it is necessary to divide it into four equal parts, and then cut it again.

[0042] When a cut into three equal parts is required, it is necessary to squeeze the button 42 again so that the card block 41 rotates 30 degrees from the inside of the 180-degree card slot 46 and enters the inside of another card slot 46. At this time, there is no limit of the inclined block 8, and the second spring 12 will drive the lifting plate 6 to reset. When the rotating disk 2 is moved, after rotating 30 degrees, the rotating disk 2 drives the three inclined blocks 8 set at the bottom end with a distance of 120 degrees from each other to move to the top of the corresponding lifting plate 6, two of which move to the top of the lifting plate 6 with an angle of 60 degrees on both sides of the 180-degree lifting plate 6, and move to the inner wall of the inclined groove 10 at the top of the corresponding lifting plate 6, driving the lifting plate 6 to descend, and the other inclined block 8 moves away from the top of the two lifting plates 6 with a distance of 120 degrees. All three drive the corresponding blades 5 to extend from the connecting disk 3, thereby completing the cut into three equal parts.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] See also Figure 8 , this utility provides a technical solution:

[0045] The difference from Example 1 is that a fixed disk is provided inside the placement shell, and a plurality of protrusions are provided on the top of the fixed disk. The protrusions can contact with the tablets and shift when cutting the tablets, thereby increasing the accuracy after cutting.
