[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0020] The orientations mentioned in this specification are based on the orientation of the tea bar machine with medication reminder function during normal operation, and do not limit its orientation during storage and transportation. They only represent relative positional relationships and do not represent absolute positional relationships.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, an integrated tea bar machine with medication reminder and storage functions includes a tea bar machine body, a touch screen 11 on the front side of the tea bar machine body, the touch screen 11 being connected to a control device; a water storage chamber 1 is provided at the bottom of the tea bar machine body, and a storage chamber 2 is provided at the top of the tea bar machine body, with several storage drawers 4 movably installed in the storage chamber 2.
[0022] The interior space of the storage drawer 4 is divided into several small compartments by a divider. Each compartment has a stopper 401 in the center, with an opening in the center of the stopper 401. A medicine bottle 402 is placed in the opening. The medicine bottle 402 includes a cap 407 and a bottle body 408 that fits into the opening. The medicine bottle 402 contains the pre-dispensed medicines for each meal, making it convenient for the user to take and consume the medicine. The external dimensions of the bottle body 408 of the medicine bottle 402 are adapted to the size of the opening. The function of the stopper 401 is to fix the bottle body 408 of the medicine bottle 402, making the interior of the storage drawer 4 more tidy and preventing the medicine bottle 402 from tipping over when the storage drawer 4 is pulled out.
[0023] A magnet 403 is fixed to the bottom of the dispensing bottle 402. A magnet 404, which is attracted to the magnet 403, is fixed below the dispensing bottle 402 in the small compartment. When the dispensing bottle 402 is placed in the small compartment, the magnet 403 and the magnet 404 attract each other, further fixing the dispensing bottle 402 and preventing it from shaking. At the same time, when it is necessary to remove the dispensing bottle 402, it is only necessary to lift the dispensing bottle 402 upward with a little force to remove it, which is quick and convenient.
[0024] Furthermore, the storage drawer 4 is provided with a handle 406 on the front side for easy pulling out of the storage drawer 4.
[0025] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the control device includes a CPU, a human-machine interface module, a medication alarm, a time monitoring module, a voice prompt module, a light prompt module, a reset module, and a data storage device. The human-machine interface module is serially connected to the CPU. The CPU is bidirectionally connected to the data storage device and the time monitoring module. The CPU's signal output is connected to the medication alarm, the voice prompt module, and the light prompt module. When the CPU detects that the medication level in the storage drawer is low, the medication alarm sends an alarm signal to the user, reminding them to replenish the medication. The time monitoring module monitors the time. The user presets the medication time. When the time monitoring module detects the medication time, it sends a trigger signal to the CPU. Upon receiving the signal, the CPU controls the voice prompt module to emit a "Please take your medication" prompt and controls the light prompt module on the touchscreen to flash to remind the user to take their medication.
[0026] The human-machine interface (HMI) module is bidirectionally connected to the CPU via an RS-232 communication line. The HMI module includes a touchscreen and a Wi-Fi transmission unit. The touchscreen uses an LCD screen with touch input functionality and features HMI functions. It includes a medication reminder setting module, an initial dosage setting module, and a remaining dosage display module. The touchscreen is serially connected to the CPU. Medication reminder times and initial dosage values can be set via the touchscreen in 30-minute increments, adjustable within a 24-hour period. This allows elderly individuals to adjust the time according to their lifestyle habits. The LCD screen clearly displays the medication reminder time and remaining dosage in real time. The Wi-Fi transmission unit connects to an external control device, transmitting medication information and remaining dosage data to the external device in real time, facilitating family monitoring of the elderly person's medication adherence.
[0027] The data memory is used to store various data. The CPU performs calculations based on the values provided by the data memory, outputs correct instructions, and controls the other modules to perform corresponding actions. The CPU uses a 32-bit microcontroller, which has a large storage capacity and stable and reliable performance. It controls its corresponding unit modules, and each unit module can independently complete simple control tasks while also being interconnected to ensure the coordinated operation of the entire system. This makes the program run more stably and reliably.
[0028] It also includes a reset module. The signal output of the reset module is connected to the signal input of the voice prompt module and the light prompt module, respectively. The signal output of the reset module is also connected to the signal input of the CPU. After each user finishes taking medication, clicking the reset module will stop the voice prompt module and the light prompt module from outputting signals, and the tea bar machine will no longer provide voice or light prompts for the user to take medication. At the same time, during the reset, the reset module sends a signal to the CPU. After receiving the reset signal, the CPU decrements the remaining medication quantity by 1 and displays the updated remaining medication quantity on the touch screen. When the remaining medication quantity is less than 3, the medication alarm will sound an alarm signal to remind the user to replenish the medication in time. In order to avoid accidental activation of the reset module and inaccurate display of the remaining medication quantity, the user can set the reset function of the reset module according to the medication interval. For example, if the user needs to take medication every 4 hours, it can be set to repeatedly touch the reset module within 4 hours, and the CPU will no longer update the remaining medication quantity.
[0029] It also includes a 24V DC power supply, which is connected to the CPU and the human-machine interaction module through lines to provide them with power.
[0030] In use, the user first divides the required medication into individual medicine bottles, places them in the storage drawer, and sets the storage quantity on the touchscreen according to the quantity of medicine divided. Then, by tapping the touchscreen, the user sets daily medication reminder times, such as 8:30 AM, 12:30 PM, and 4:30 PM. Upon reaching the set time, the time monitoring module sends a trigger signal to the CPU, and the device automatically emits a "Please take your medication" voice reminder. Simultaneously, the medication reminder button on the screen flashes for 10 minutes to ensure the elderly person does not miss their medication. After taking the medication, the elderly person simply taps the flashing reset module medication reminder button, and the flashing light and reminder sound stop. At the same time, the CPU decrements the stored medication quantity by 1 and displays the new quantity on the touchscreen for easy monitoring. If the stored medication quantity falls below 3, the medication alarm will sound an alarm signal, reminding the user to replenish the medication promptly to avoid running out.
[0031] Of course, the above description is not intended to limit the present utility model, and the present utility model is not limited to the examples given above. Any changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
