Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a cutting technology for finished tablets, in particular to a medicine cutter. Background Art

[0002] Hospitals or clinics may need to cut tablets for the following reasons:

[0003] 1. Based on the specific situation of a specific patient, a specific drug dosage will be matched for the patient. The drug dosage for a specific patient is not an integer multiple of the tablets.

[0004] 2. Some patients have difficulty swallowing and need to reduce the size of the tablets.

[0005] 3. In some cases, it is necessary to cut the tablets in order to control the release rate of the drug in the human body.

[0006] When chronic patients take medicine at home, they often cut the tablets for several days in advance.

[0007] Cut finished tablets to the target size, usually half tablets for half size or quarter tablets for quarter size.

[0008] Existing tablet cutting devices can only cut tablets into half tablets. If you want to cut the finished tablet into quarter tablets, you need to cut the finished tablet twice, horizontally and vertically. This operation is cumbersome, especially because the finished tablet is divided into two halves after the first cut, and then the two halves need to be joined together and rotated 90 degrees before the second cut. These manual operations are very troublesome. Often, the broken tablets after the second cut are not the same size as the quarter tablets because the two halves are not perfectly joined after the first cut or the rotation angle is not exactly 90 degrees.

[0009] If you use a cross blade directly, you can only cut the tablet into quarters, not half the size of a full tablet. Utility Model Content

[0010] The utility model aims to provide a medicine cutter which can cut finished tablets into half or quarter sizes through one cut.

[0011] To achieve the above purpose, the medicine cutter of the present invention includes a bracket, the base of the bracket is fixedly connected to a hollow support, and the support has a cavity therein; a knife slit is provided on the upper surface of the support, and the knife slit is downwardly connected to the cavity in the support;

[0012] The top plate of the bracket is fixedly connected downwardly with an electric push rod, which has a controller; the extension rod of the electric push rod is downwardly connected with a cross-shaped blade, which includes a main blade and an auxiliary blade; the main blade is arranged above the knife slit and opposite to the knife slit;

[0013] The main blade has a vertical slot in the middle, and the auxiliary blade passes through the slot and is fixedly connected to the main blade; the main blade and the auxiliary blade are perpendicular to each other and arranged in a cross shape; the cutting edge of the auxiliary blade is higher than the cutting edge of the main blade and the height difference is D, which is greater than the thickness of the tablet.

[0014] A plurality of baffles are provided on the upper surface of the support platform, and the horizontal cross-sections of the baffles are all located on the circumference of the same circle, and the center of the circle is located at the midpoint of the knife gap; each baffle is used to position the tablets.

[0015] The supporting platform is made of ferromagnetic material, a ferrite permanent magnet is embedded in the baffle, and the baffle is fixed on the supporting platform by magnetic adsorption.

[0016] The utility model has the following advantages:

[0017] Since the height difference D is greater than or equal to the thickness of the tablet, it is very convenient for the present invention to cut the tablet into two or four pieces by the cross-shaped blade. When it is necessary to cut the tablet into two pieces, the cross-shaped blade is pressed downward and the main blade stops when the cutting reaches the slit position. At this time, the auxiliary blade has not yet contacted the tablet, and the tablet is thus divided into two pieces by the main blade.

[0018] When the tablet needs to be cut into four pieces, the cross-shaped blade is pressed down and the auxiliary blade reaches the upper surface of the support. At this time, the main blade extends downward into the knife gap, and the main blade and the auxiliary blade jointly divide the tablet into four pieces.

[0019] In summary, the present invention has a simple structure and is easy to operate. It can cut a tablet into two or four pieces without replacing the blade, which greatly improves the flexibility of the medicine cutting device and can meet the user's needs of cutting a tablet into two or four pieces without replacing the blade.

[0020] The supporting platform is made of ferromagnetic material, a ferrite permanent magnet is embedded in the baffle, and the baffle is fixed on the supporting platform by magnetic adsorption.

[0021] The platform is preferably made of 430 stainless steel, which is magnetically attractive. Each baffle is embedded with a ferrite permanent magnet, allowing it to be securely attached to the platform to position the tablets. The baffles can also be flexibly adjusted to create areas of varying sizes to accommodate tablets of varying sizes. The ferrite permanent magnets can be barium ferrite or barium strontium ferrite.

[0022] The center of the circle (inscribed circle) enclosed by each baffle is located at the midpoint of the knife gap, so that the main blade can just divide the tablet into two halves. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the medicine cutter of the present invention includes a bracket 2, the base of the bracket 2 is fixedly connected to a hollow support 1, and the support 1 has a cavity therein; a knife slit 3 is provided on the upper surface of the support 1, and the knife slit 3 is downwardly communicated with the cavity in the support 1;

[0028] The top plate of the bracket 2 is fixedly connected downwardly to an electric push rod 4, which has a controller; the extension rod of the electric push rod 4 is downwardly connected to a cross-shaped blade, which includes a main blade 5 and an auxiliary blade 6; the main blade 5 is arranged above the knife slit 3 and opposite to the knife slit 3;

[0029] The main blade 5 has a vertically arranged through slot in the middle, and the auxiliary blade 6 passes through the through slot and is fixedly connected to the main blade 5 (such as welding); the main blade 5 and the auxiliary blade 6 are arranged perpendicular to each other in a cross shape; the cutting edge of the auxiliary blade 6 is higher than the cutting edge of the main blade 5 and the height difference is D, which is greater than the thickness of the tablet.

[0030] Since the height difference D is greater than or equal to the thickness of the tablet, it is very convenient for the present invention to cut the tablet into two or four pieces by the cross-shaped blade. When it is necessary to cut the tablet into two pieces, the cross-shaped blade is pressed downward and the main blade 5 stops when cutting at the slit 3. At this time, the auxiliary blade 6 has not yet contacted the tablet, and the tablet is thus divided into two pieces by the main blade 5.

[0031] When the tablet needs to be cut into four pieces, the cross-shaped blade is pressed downward and the auxiliary blade 6 reaches the upper surface of the support 1. At this time, the main blade 5 extends downward into the slit 3, and the main blade 5 and the auxiliary blade 6 jointly divide the tablet into four pieces.

[0032] In summary, the present invention has a simple structure and is easy to operate. It can cut a tablet into two or four pieces without replacing the blade, which greatly improves the flexibility of the medicine cutting device and can meet the user's needs of cutting a tablet into two or four pieces without replacing the blade.

[0033] The upper surface of the support 1 is provided with a number of baffles 7. The horizontal cross-sections of each baffle 7 lie on the circumference of a circle whose center is located at the midpoint of the slit 3. Each baffle 7 is used to position the tablets. The support is made of ferromagnetic material, and each baffle is embedded with a ferrite permanent magnet, which is magnetically fixed to the support. The ferrite permanent magnet is conventional and not shown in the figure.

[0034] The platform 1 is preferably made of 430 stainless steel, which is magnetically attractive. Each baffle 7 is embedded with a ferrite permanent magnet, allowing it to be securely attached to the platform 1 to position the tablets. The position of each baffle 7 can also be flexibly adjusted when needed, allowing each baffle 7 to enclose areas of varying sizes to accommodate tablets of different sizes. The ferrite permanent magnet can be barium ferrite or barium strontium ferrite.

[0035] The center of the circle (inscribed circle) enclosed by each baffle 7 is located at the midpoint of the knife gap 3, so that the main blade 5 can just divide the tablet into two halves.

[0036] During use, the tablet to be cut is placed flat between the baffles 7. Depending on whether the tablet is to be cut into four or two pieces, the stroke of the electric push rod 4 is set accordingly via the controller of the electric push rod 4. To cut the tablet into two pieces, the stroke of the electric push rod 4 is just enough to move the cross-shaped blade downward until the edge of the main blade 5 is flush with the upper surface of the support platform 1. To cut the tablet into four pieces, the stroke of the electric push rod 4 is just enough to move the cross-shaped blade downward until the edge of the auxiliary blade 6 is flush with the upper surface of the support platform 1.

[0037] When the electric push rod 4 is started, the extended rod of the electric push rod 4 drives the cross-shaped blade to move downward by a corresponding stroke distance, thereby cutting the tablet into two or four petals, which is very convenient to use.

[0038] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate rather than limit the technical solutions of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention can still be modified or replaced by equivalents. Any modification or partial replacement that does not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
