Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medicine crusher technology, and in particular to a medicine crusher. Background Technology
[0002] Medicines are classified according to their materials into Chinese medicinal herbs, prepared Chinese medicines, chemical raw materials and their preparations, antibiotics, etc., and according to their methods of use into oral medications, topical medications, and injectable medications. Oral medications are further divided into capsules, tablets, and oral liquids.
[0003] When administering medication to children, especially oral medications such as tablets, swallowing can be difficult due to the narrow throat and esophagus of children, particularly with large tablets, especially bitter ones. In such cases, a tablet crusher is typically used to break the tablet into pieces. However, this requires a specialized pill crusher, which is small and prone to being lost, negatively impacting the child's medication administration. Therefore, a pill crusher is needed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems mentioned in the background section.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A medicine crusher includes a medicine bottle with a cap assembly at the bottom. The cap assembly includes a bottle cap that is threaded onto the bottom of the medicine bottle. A cutting accessory is fastened to the top of the medicine bottle. The cutting accessory includes a top cover. An insert plate is embedded in the bottom of the top cover through a guide groove, and a cutting blade is connected to the bottom of the insert plate.
[0007] Preferably, two levers are symmetrically connected to the outer side of the bottle cap, and a groove is provided at the bottom of the bottle cap, with a suction cup installed in the groove. When the bottle cap is placed upright on a flat surface, the suction cup can adhere to the surface of the placement platform, ensuring the stability of the medicine bottle when placed upright.
[0008] Preferably, the top cover has two pressure plates symmetrically connected on the left and right sides. The vertical cross-section of the plate is designed in a T-shape. The design of the pressure plates makes it convenient for the staff to press the pressure plates and control the top cover to cooperate with the cutting blade to cut the tablets.
[0009] Preferably, the top cover is connected to the corresponding positions of the pressure plate on the left and right sides, and the limiting blocks are inserted into the inner wall of the groove at the top of the medicine bottle through the limiting groove. The limiting groove on the inner wall of the medicine bottle can limit the limiting blocks and prevent the top cover from loosening, shaking and rotating from the top of the medicine bottle during installation.
[0010] Preferably, two positioning strips are symmetrically connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the medicine bottle groove. The two positioning strips are combined to form a V-shaped structure. The V-shaped structure design of the positioning strips can facilitate the placement of the tablets and ensure the stability of the tablets during placement.
[0011] Preferably, a grinding accessory is installed in the groove at the top of the top cover. The grinding accessory includes a pressure cap. A movable shaft is inserted into the top of the pressure cap through a through hole, and a grinding disc is connected to the bottom of the movable shaft. By rotating the pressure cap in the groove of the top cover, the movable shaft can be controlled to drive the grinding disc to grind the tablets, thereby facilitating the processing of the tablets.
