[0009] Preferably, the rotating mechanism includes a motor, which is fixedly connected inside the medicine box, and one end of the motor output shaft passes through the medicine box and is fixed to the rotating frame.
[0010] Preferably, the lifting mechanism includes multiple lifting plates, which are respectively located in multiple medicine-containing chambers. An electric push rod is fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the medicine box. One end of the electric push rod is fixedly connected to a top frame, and the top frame can pass through the medicine box and the rotating frame to lift the lifting plates.
[0011] Preferably, two guide grooves are provided on the inner walls of both sides of the multiple drug placement chambers, and the guide grooves are slidably connected to the lifting plate.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: by placing medicines in multiple medicine-dispensing chambers of the rotating frame, the medication time can be set through the smart screen, and patients can be reminded to take their medication. Furthermore, by starting the motor, the rotating frame can be rotated, thereby switching the medicines placed in the medicine-dispensing chambers. Then, by starting the electric push rod, the electric push rod extends and drives the top frame to move upward. The top frame rises and passes through the medicine box and the rotating frame to lift the lifting plate and remove it from the medicine outlet. It is simple and convenient to use, and has a high degree of intelligence, which helps patients take their medications. Attached Figure Description
