Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device auxiliary technology, and in particular to a tablet crusher. Background Technology

[0002] A tablet crusher can physically grind tablets into powder or cut them into smaller tablets for easier administration or dosage adjustment. Because infants and young children have more delicate esophagus, large tablets may cause them harm. Therefore, when administering medication to infants and young children, a tablet crusher is often used to grind the tablets into powder and administer them with water.

[0003] Most tablet crushers currently on the market consist of a box body and a threaded rod with a spherical structure at the head. The threaded structure converts rotational force into pressure, thereby crushing the tablets. These tablet crushers are convenient to use, have a simple structure, and are easy to carry, but they also have obvious shortcomings. For example, after the tablets are crushed into powder, most of the powder will stick to the surface of the spherical part that came into contact with the tablet. Users often need to scrape off the powder with their hands. Direct contact with the powder is not hygienic, especially when users are out and about and cannot clean their hands in time. Direct contact with the medication can easily lead to bacterial transmission, which is not conducive to safe medication use. Therefore, this application provides a tablet crusher to meet the needs.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 5As shown in the figure, an embodiment of this utility model provides a tablet crusher, including a medicine storage box 1 for storing medicines. The bottom of the medicine storage box 1 is provided with a grinding bottom cover 2 for grinding the tablets. The grinding bottom cover 2 and the medicine storage box 1 are threaded together. The grinding bottom cover 2 has a grinding cavity 17 inside. The bottom of the medicine storage box 1 is provided with grinding beads 4 for cooperating with the grinding cavity 17. The grinding beads 4 are connected to the medicine storage box 1 by a locking buckle 5. The top of the medicine storage box 1 is provided with a cover 3 for sealing the medicine storage box 1. The cover 3 is fixedly connected to the medicine storage box 1. By setting the grinding beads 4 and cooperating with the structure at the bottom of the medicine storage box 1, after the tablets are ground into powder, the grinding beads 4 can be scraped to remove the powder adhering to the surface of the grinding beads 4. This achieves the purpose of non-contact removal of powder, effectively avoiding direct hand contact with the tablets and preventing bacterial contamination of the medicine, thus effectively improving the safety of medication.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the medicine storage box 1 has a cylindrical structure with a medicine storage cavity 6 inside. The bottom of the medicine storage cavity 6 has a spherical structure to facilitate the dropping of the tablets and avoid dead corners where the medicine accumulates. A spherical groove is formed at the bottom of the medicine storage box 1, and a discharge hole 7 is formed at the bottom of the medicine storage cavity 6. The diameter of the discharge hole 7 is slightly larger than the diameter of a normal tablet, so that only one tablet can pass through the discharge hole 7 at a time, thereby achieving the purpose of controlling the amount of medicine dispensed. The medicine storage cavity 6 is connected to the spherical groove at the bottom of the medicine storage box 1 through the discharge hole 7. The medicine storage box 1 has a feeding port 13 at the top, which is adapted to the cover 3. The cover 3 is embedded in the feeding port 13 and fixedly connected to the medicine storage box 1. The waist of the medicine storage box 1 has an hourglass-shaped structure. Multiple sets of buckle plates 12 are fixedly connected to the groove of the waist of the medicine storage box 1. By setting the buckle plates 12, when rotating the medicine storage box 1 and the grinding bottom cover 2, the user's hand can hold the buckle plates 12, which can increase the force points of the hand, thereby making it easier to rotate the medicine storage box 1 and avoid slipping the hand when crushing the tablets, thus increasing the practicality.

[0035] A retaining rim 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom edge of the medicine storage box 1. The retaining rim 8 has a V-shaped cross-section, and its inner surface is adapted to the grinding bead 4. The diameter of the bottom of the retaining rim 8 is smaller than the diameter of the grinding bead 4. A pair of connecting holes 9 are provided on the side wall of the retaining rim 8. The pair of connecting holes 9 are symmetrically distributed and are adapted to the locking buckle 5. Multiple sets of expansion slots 10 are provided on the side wall of the retaining rim 8. The multiple sets of expansion slots 10 are evenly distributed. Multiple sets of mating protrusions 11 are provided at the bottom of the retaining rim 8. When the grinding bead 4 is installed with the medicine storage box 1, external force is required to squeeze the grinding bead 4. The grinding bead 4 is inserted into the inside of the retaining edge 8 and engages with it. By setting an expansion slot 10 on the retaining edge 8, sufficient space is provided for the deformation of the retaining edge 8. When the grinding bead 4 enters the inside of the retaining edge 8, it forces the bottom of the retaining edge 8 to expand, so that the grinding bead 4 can smoothly enter the inside of the retaining edge 8. After the grinding bead 4 is engaged with the retaining edge 8, the locking buckle 5 is passed through the connecting hole 9 and engages with the locking hole 16, which can constrain the grinding bead 4 so that the grinding bead 4 can only rotate around the diameter of the locking hole 16, thereby avoiding the excessive freedom of the grinding bead 4 from affecting the compaction effect.

[0036] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the grinding bead 4 has a spherical structure. A storage groove 14 is provided on the side wall of the grinding bead 4, which is adapted to the discharge hole 7. A pair of locking holes 16 are also provided on the side wall of the grinding bead 4. The locking holes 16 are symmetrically distributed around the storage groove 14 as the central axis and have an "I"-shaped structure. The locking holes 16 are adapted to the head structure of the latch 5. Multiple sets of anti-slip grooves 15 are provided on the side wall of the grinding bead 4. By providing the anti-slip grooves 15, when the tablet is being crushed, the anti-slip grooves 15 contact the tablet, increasing the friction between the tablet and the anti-slip grooves 15, thereby preventing the tablet from moving during crushing and affecting the crushing effect. The anti-slip grooves 15 are adapted to the mating protrusions 11. Corresponding to the position of the protrusion 11, when the grinding bead 4 rotates around the diameter of the locking hole 16, the anti-slip groove 15 passes the protrusion 11 after rotating a certain angle. The protrusion 11 scrapes the inside of the anti-slip groove 15 to avoid dead corners and waste of medicine. The anti-slip groove 15 is located at the farthest end of the storage tank 14. When the storage tank 14 coincides with the discharge hole 7, the anti-slip groove 15 contacts the lowest point of the grinding chamber 17. The storage tank 14 blocks the discharge hole 7. At most one tablet from the storage box enters the storage tank 14 from the medicine storage chamber 6 to achieve the purpose of quantitative medicine dispensing. The grinding bead 4 can be rotated one revolution by the latch 5 to remove the tablet from the storage tank 14.

[0037] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, remove the cover 3 from the medicine storage box 1, open the inlet 13, and pour the required medication into the medicine storage chamber 6 through the inlet 13. Then, press the cover 3 into the inlet 13 to seal it. Finally, install the grinding bottom cover 2 at the bottom of the medicine storage box 1. When medication needs to be retrieved, first remove the grinding bottom cover 2 from the medicine storage box 1, then rotate the locking buckle 5 to rotate the grinding beads 4 and remove the tablets from the storage tank 14. After placing the tablets from the storage tank 14 into the grinding chamber 17, re-screw the grinding bottom cover 2 back onto the medicine storage box 1. During the screwing process, the gap between the grinding bead 4 and the inner wall of the grinding chamber 17 gradually decreases, and the pressure applied to the tablet in the grinding chamber 17 gradually increases until the tablet is crushed into powder. Then, the grinding bottom cover 2 is removed from the medicine storage box 1, and the grinding bead 4 is driven to swing repeatedly through the locking buckle 5. The swing angle is less than 90 degrees, so that the part of the grinding bead 4 exposed outside the locking edge 8 can move relative to the edge of the locking edge 8. The edge of the locking edge 8 scrapes the part of the grinding bead 4 that crushes the tablet, scraping off the powder adhering to the surface of the grinding bead 4. Finally, the powder is concentrated in the grinding chamber 17, and then it can be taken out and taken.

Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary confusion regarding the essence of this utility model, well-known methods, processes, procedures, components, and circuits are not described in detail.

[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
