Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medicine storage box technology, specifically a medicine box structure with monitoring function. Background Technology

[0002] The daily living abilities of middle-aged and elderly patients are declining, especially as the elderly are more forgetful and may have difficulty remembering when to take medication, leading to dangerous situations such as medication errors and drug confusion. To address these issues, existing technologies include a medication container with a reminder function, such as the one disclosed in CN115154318A, which provides reminders when medication is taken. This type of storage device is generally kept by the patient and reminds them of the dosage time according to their settings. However, elderly patients inevitably experience decline in hearing, vision, and memory, making simple medication reminders often ineffective. This can result in patients missing the reminder and taking too little, or thinking they haven't taken it and taking it again, leading to overdosing. To address these problems, a pillbox structure with a monitoring function is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a medicine box structure with monitoring function.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a medicine box structure with monitoring function, including a box body, the upper side of which can be connected to a box cover by threads, the box cover being divided into an upper box cover and a lower box cover, the upper box cover and the lower box cover being connected by a first pin and a first torsion spring.

[0005] Preferably, a button is installed on the front side of the lower cover, and the button is connected to the lower cover via a second pin and a second torsion spring.

[0006] Preferably, a latch is installed on the front side of the lower box cover, and the latch is connected to the lower box cover via a first pin.

[0007] Preferably, a threaded hook is installed on the upper side of the upper box cover, the threaded hook can be hooked to a medicine bag, and the medicine bag can store medicines.

[0008] Preferably, a photoelectric sensor is installed on the lower side of the box body.

[0009] Preferably, the lower side of the box body is connected to the box base by bolts, and the box base has through holes to lead out the photoelectric sensor pins. The photoelectric sensor is fixed after the box base and the box body are connected.

[0010] Preferably, the medicine bag is equipped with a sealing strip on the upper side and has a through hole for easy sealing and installation.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] 1. This invention is mainly used to monitor drug administration. It uses the pins of a photoelectric sensor to send feedback to an external control module as to whether the drug stored in the component has been taken.

[0013] 2. This invention uses medicine bags to seal and package drugs that meet the single-dose dosage and have the same dosing pattern, making it convenient for patients to take the medicine;

[0014] 3. This invention uses an array of modules inserted into an expandable medicine box with a control module. The control module on the medicine box records the medication schedule set by the patient or their family according to the doctor's orders. The control module compares the monitoring signal of this invention with the set medication schedule to determine whether the medication is being taken correctly, and provides local audio and visual reminders and remote interaction with a mobile APP as needed.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Example: Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a modular intelligent medicine box storage component, including a box body 5. A lid is threadedly connected to the upper side of the box body 5. The lid is divided into an upper lid 1 and a lower lid 2, which are connected by a second pin 13 and a second torsion spring 14. A button 3 is installed on the front side of the lower lid 2, and the button 3 is connected to the lower lid 2 via a first pin 8 and a first torsion spring 9. A latch 4 is installed on the front side of the lower lid 2, and the latch 4 is connected to the lower lid 2 via a first pin 8. The lower side of the box body 5 is connected to a box base 6 via bolts 12. The box base 6 has a through hole 15 to lead out the pin of a photoelectric sensor 11. After the box base 6 and the box body 5 are connected, the photoelectric sensor 11 is fixed in place. A threaded hook 7 is installed on the upper side of the lid 1, which can be hooked to a medicine bag 10. The medicine bag 10 can store medicines. A photoelectric sensor 11 is installed on the lower side of the box body 5. When medicines are placed in the medicine bag 10, the medicine bag 10 is hung on the threaded hook 7 and hangs down to the bottom of the box body 5 under the action of gravity, covering the photoelectric sensor 11. This indicates that there are medicines in the medicine box component. After the patient takes the medicine bag 10, if there is no medicine bag 10 in the box body 5 or the medicine bag 10 cannot hang down to the bottom of the box body 5 and does not cover the photoelectric sensor 11, it indicates that there are no medicines in the medicine box component. By monitoring the medication use through the medicine box component, patients can be better supervised to take the medication as prescribed, ensuring the therapeutic effect of the medication.

[0022] The medicine bag 10 is made of plastic film, which is easy to replace. The medicine bag 10 has a through hole 15 and a sealing strip 16. The through hole 15 makes it easy to hang on the threaded hook 7, and the sealing strip 16 can ensure the sealed preservation of the medicine and ensure its efficacy.

[0023] The medicine bag 10 is used to store medicines, and the amount of medicine stored in each medicine bag 10 is the single dose of medicines with the same dosing pattern.

[0024] When the medicine bag 10 is filled with medicine, it hangs down to the bottom of the box body 5 under the action of gravity, and the medicine is monitored by blocking the photoelectric sensor 11.

[0025] The pins of the photoelectric sensor 11 pass through the through hole 15 on the box base 6. The box base 6 can be installed on a suitable medicine box with a controller and electrical interface to realize the effective use of drug monitoring signals and complete the predetermined drug administration pattern in conjunction with the controller.

[0026] The pillbox components can be used in an array. Multiple pillbox components can be arranged in a reasonable manner according to the medication cycle. After one cycle of medication is completed, the medicine bag 10 is used to refill the medicine for the next cycle of medication.

[0027] The pillbox components and parts can be selected and matched according to the type, quantity, and specifications of the medication, so that a single pillbox component can hold a single dose of medication under the same dosing pattern, simplifying the steps and process of taking the medication.

[0028] Button 3 can lock the upper lid 1 and lower lid 2 under the action of the first torsion spring 9 to facilitate the storage of medicine. After pressing button 3, the upper lid 1 and lower lid 2 will pop open under the action of the second torsion spring 14 to facilitate the removal of medicine.

[0029] The latch 4 can be rotated to the top to lock when the medicine box component containing the medicine is moved, preventing the upper box cover 1 and the lower box cover 2 from separating and falling into the medicine bag 10 stored in the box body 5 due to accidental operation of the button 3 or other misoperations during the movement.

[0030] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
