Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medicine bottle retrieval and storage technology, and more specifically, to a medicine box that facilitates viewing information on medicine bottles. Background Technology

[0002] In healthcare, medication preparation and dispensing are handled by different personnel. After locating the required vial (usually for injectable medications), the dispensing staff places it in a medication box for temporary storage, making it convenient for healthcare staff to retrieve the medication directly from the box later.

[0003] When medical staff take medication from a medicine box, they need to check the label information on the medicine bottle to easily identify whether it is the medicine bottle they need. However, the text on the medicine label on the medicine bottle is relatively small, making it difficult for nurses to see the medicine information through the dispensing opening on the medicine box, which can easily lead to taking the wrong medicine bottle. If the medicine bottle is not matched after taking it out of the dispensing opening, it must be put back, which is not only cumbersome, but also can cause the medicine bottles to be placed in the wrong order.

[0004] Therefore, existing technologies still need to be improved and developed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a medicine box that facilitates viewing information on medicine bottles, solving the problem in the prior art where medical staff cannot easily see the label information on the medicine bottle through the dispensing opening on the medicine box when taking medicine.

[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment proposes a medicine box for easy viewing of medicine bottle information, mainly including: a box body 100, a guide part 200, and an optical magnification component 300. The box body 100 can be a square box. For ease of structural description, the box body 100 is placed vertically with the vertical direction as the up-down direction, the direction of the long side as the length direction (left-right direction), and the direction of the short side as the width direction (front-back direction). When in use, the box body 100 faces forward towards the user, with the front surface of the box body 100 as the front face 101. A medicine dispensing port 110 and a medicine dispensing port 120 are provided on the box body 100. The medicine dispensing port 110 is located above the medicine dispensing port 120. In the specific structure, the medicine dispensing port 110 is located above, and the medicine dispensing port 120 is located below, thereby facilitating medicine dispensing from the top of the box body 100 and medicine dispensing from the bottom of the box body 100. A guide section 200 is disposed inside the housing 100, located below the dispensing port 110, and guides the medicine bottle 10 placed in the dispensing port 110 to the dispensing port 120. After the medicine bottle 10 is placed into the dispensing port 120, it rolls along the guide section 200, thus arranging the medicine bottles 10 at the dispensing port 120 in the correct order, making it convenient for medical staff to pick up and put down the medicine bottles 10 according to the order of use. An optical magnifying component 300 is disposed on the housing 100 and located at the dispensing port 120, and is used to magnify the label information of the medicine bottles 10 at the dispensing port 120. While performing the magnification function, the optical magnifying component 300 can convert the light from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction and emit it from the front 101, so that medical staff can directly see the label information on the medicine bottles 10 arranged at the dispensing port 120.

[0037] This embodiment provides a medicine box for easy viewing of medicine bottle information. A guide section 200 is provided within the box body 100. During the process of placing the medicine bottles 10 into the box, the guide section 200 guides the flow, causing the bottles 10 to roll to the dispensing opening 120. This ensures that when medicine bottles 10 are placed in the order of use, the bottles 10 at the dispensing opening 120 are also arranged in the order of use, making it convenient for medical staff to retrieve and place medicine bottles 10 according to their order of use. An optical magnifying component 300 is provided on the medicine box to magnify the label information on the medicine bottles 10 arranged at the dispensing opening 120, especially the first few bottles 10. This allows medical staff to visually see the label information on the arranged medicine bottles 10 before removing them from the dispensing opening 120, facilitating medication identification and preventing the wrong bottle 10 from being picked up. By using the optical magnifying component 300 to view the labels on the medicine bottles 10, it is not necessary to pick up the medicine bottles 10, making the medication retrieval process more convenient for medical staff.

[0038] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the dispensing port 110 is located on the upper surface of the box body 100, and the dispensing port 120 is located on the front side 101 of the box body 100 and at the lower part of the box body 100. Specifically, the dispensing port 110 can be located on the left side of the upper surface, and the dispensing port 120 is located on the lower left side of the front side 101 of the box body 100. The lower left side inside the box body 100 is located in the storage area 130, where the medicine bottles 10, guided by the guide part 200, are arranged sequentially. The dispensing port 120 connects to the storage area 130 of the box body 100, and the storage area 130 is located at the output end of the guide part 200. When the medicine bottles 10 are arranged in the storage area 130 according to the order in which they were placed, medical personnel can retrieve and place the medicine bottles 10 from the dispensing port 120 according to the order in which they are used, making the process more convenient.

[0039] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, the optical magnification assembly 300 of this embodiment further includes a magnifying lens 310 and a reflecting lens 330. The magnifying lens 310 is disposed inside the housing 100 and above the medicine storage area 130, and the reflecting lens 330 is inclined along its width. The magnifying lens 310 is used to magnify the label information of the medicine bottles 10 in the medicine storage area 130 and reflect it towards the front 101 through the reflecting lens 330. The magnifying lens 310 is laid flat and can be positioned above the entire dispensing port 120, so that when medical personnel take medicine from the dispensing port 120, the optical magnification assembly 300 will not interfere with the medicine taking process. The reflecting lens 330 is inclined above the magnifying lens 310, thereby magnifying the label information on the medicine bottles 10 arranged at the dispensing port 120 and changing the direction of light propagation, so that medical personnel can intuitively see the label information on the arranged medicine bottles 10 on the front 101, which is convenient for medical personnel to check the medicine bottles 10.

[0040] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the magnifying lens 310 is fixed inside the housing 100 by the first lens holder 320, and the reflecting lens 330 is fixed inside the housing 100 by the second lens holder 340. Specifically, the magnifying lens 310 can be an arc-shaped lens or a waist-shaped lens. The magnifying lens 310 has a straight surface and a curved surface, with the straight surface facing away from the output end of the guide portion 200 (closer to the left). This allows the magnifying lens 310 to provide a more comprehensive view of the information on the first medicine bottle 10 arranged near the left, making it easier for medical personnel to see the complete label on the leftmost medicine bottle 10. The curved surface has a certain radial length to the right in the horizontal direction, thus allowing for a more complete magnification of the information on the medicine bottles 10 on the right side. In this embodiment, the rear end of the first lens holder 320 is fixed to the rear inner wall of the housing 100 by screws. The front end of the first lens holder 320 is provided with a support plate, and mounting holes are provided on the support plate. The magnifying lens 310 is adhered and fixed in the mounting holes, thereby achieving stable fixation of the magnifying lens 310. The rear end of the second lens holder 340 is fixed to the rear inner wall of the housing 100 by screws. The front end of the second lens holder 340 is provided with an inclined plate, which can be set at 45° in the width direction. The reflecting lens 330 is fixed to the inclined plate by adhesive, allowing the reflecting lens 330 to reflect light from the vertical direction towards the front 101, thus achieving stable fixation of the reflecting lens 330. It is conceivable that the magnifying lens 310 can be circular, and the reflecting lens 330 can be square.

[0041] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6As shown, the guide portion 200 in this embodiment further includes a first guide plate 210 and a second guide plate 220. The first guide plate 210 is inclined along its length, with its first end located below the medicine dispensing port 110 and its second end lower than the first end. The second guide plate 220 is located below the first guide plate 210 and is used to mate with the second end of the first guide plate 210 and extends inclinedly to the medicine storage area 130. By gradually tilting the first guide plate 210 downwards from left to right and the second guide plate 220 gradually tilting downwards from right to left, guidance is achieved through a folding motion. This results in a smaller length occupied in the left-right direction, optimizing the spatial structure of the box 100.

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, in one structure, the length of the second guide plate 220 is longer than the length of the first guide plate 210. This allows the medicine bottles to slide down the second guide plate 220 in sequence, following the principle of "first in, first out," making it convenient for medical staff to pick up and put away the bottles.

[0043] like Figure 4 , Figure 6 As shown, in the second structure, the inclination angle of the first guide plate 210 in this embodiment is less than that of the second guide plate 220. That is, the angle (acute angle) between the first guide plate 210 and the length direction is less than the angle (acute angle) between the second guide plate 220 and the length direction. Setting the first guide plate 210 relatively gently sloping occupies less upper space within the housing 100, providing sufficient space for the installation of the reflecting lens 330. Conversely, setting the second guide plate 220 relatively steeply provides sufficient space for the installation of the magnifying lens 310. This facilitates the structural design and installation of the optical magnification assembly 300.

[0044] like Figure 4 , Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the output end of the second guide plate 220 is provided with a flexible buffer pad 230. The flexible buffer pad 230 is only provided in a small section along the left and right direction and covers the bottom of the box 100. When the medicine bottle 10 rolls down from the inclined second guide plate 220 to the bottom, the flexible buffer pad 230 provides a certain buffer for the falling impact of the medicine bottle 10, so as to avoid damage to the medicine bottle 10 due to excessive impact. After buffering, the medicine bottle 10 still has a certain kinetic energy and continues to roll to the left and be arranged in the medicine storage area 130.

[0045] like Figure 4 , Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, the box body 100 has a baffle on its front 101, and a medicine storage area 130 is formed on the inner side of the baffle. The medicine dispensing port 120 is located above the baffle. The height of the baffle is slightly higher than the outer diameter of the medicine bottle 10, so as to block the medicine bottle 10 and prevent it from falling from the front 101 of the medicine storage area 130, thus effectively protecting the medicine bottle 10.

[0046] like Figure 4 , Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, a flexible anti-collision pad 131 is further provided on the inner wall of the box 100 opposite to the second guide plate 220. Specifically, the flexible anti-collision pad 131 is bonded and fixed to the lower part of the left inner wall of the box 100. The flexible anti-collision pad 131 can act as a buffer, preventing the medicine bottle 10 from directly impacting the left inner wall of the box 100 during rolling. In addition, the flexible anti-collision pad 131 also has a certain thickness, which will keep the arranged medicine bottles 10 a certain distance from the inner wall, thus allowing the medicine bottles 10 to be closer to the center of the magnifying lens 310, resulting in a better viewing angle.

[0047] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the box 100 is a plastic box, and the front 101 of the box 100 is a transparent plate. Light passes through the transparent plate, making the magnified reflected image clearer and more convenient to use.

[0048] In summary, this application provides a medicine box that facilitates viewing information on medicine bottles. By providing a guide section 200, the medicine bottles 10 are guided and rolled to the dispensing opening 120 below as they are placed into the box, thus arranging the bottles 10 in the order of use, making it convenient for medical personnel to retrieve and place them according to their intended use. By incorporating an optical magnifying component 300 on the medicine box, the information on the medicine bottles 10 is magnified, especially for the bottles 10 at the very front, allowing medical personnel to visually see the information on the arranged bottles 10 before taking the medication, facilitating drug identification. The optical magnifying component 300 alters the light path within the medicine box, magnifying the bottles 10 vertically before changing its orientation to face the front 101 for display, making it easier for medical personnel to verify the label information on the medicine bottles 10.

[0049] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
