[0023] Example
[0024] The portable medicine box described in this embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a horizontally positioned ring 1 with straps 16 on it. There are two straps 16, one on the left and one on the right. One end of the left strap 16 is fixed to the left side of the ring 1, and one end of the right strap 16 is fixed to the right side of the ring 1. In use, the ring 1 can be tied to the patient's hand or hung around their neck by tying the other ends of the two straps 16 together. The design of the straps 16 makes it easy to carry the ring 1.
[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the ring body 1 is provided with partitions 2, and an annular groove is formed on the top of the ring body 1 along its circumference. Several partitions 2 are arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the annular groove, dividing the annular groove into several independent sections. A cover plate 3 is installed on the top of the ring body 1 for each section. This section constitutes a storage assembly for storing tablets. The bottom of the partitions 2 is fixed to the bottom of the annular groove, and the sidewalls of the partitions 2 are fixed to the walls of the annular groove. The design of dividing the annular groove into different sections by multiple partitions 2 facilitates placing each dose of medication in a different storage section. The cover plate 3 is installed according to… Figure 3 In the orientation of the cover plate 3, the side wall of the cover plate 3 closest to the inner side of the ring body 1 can be hinged to the ring body 1 via a pivot or hinge, and the side wall of the cover plate 3 closest to the outer side of the ring body 1 is locked to the ring body 1 by a latch 17. The latch 17 includes a movable part and a fixed part. The movable part is fixed to the cover plate 3, and the fixed part is fixed to the ring body 1. The cover plate 3 is closed and opened by the engagement and disengagement of the movable part and the fixed part. When taking the medicine, the cover plate 3 is opened, and the medicine in the corresponding compartment is taken out for use.
[0026] During implementation, an identification plate can be set on the top of the cover plate 3 in the storage component, and different information can be marked on the identification plates on different covers 3, such as "take in the morning", "take at noon" and "take at night". Therefore, the corresponding cover plate 3 can be selected to open according to the above information, and then the medicine can be taken.
[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, a timer 18 is installed on the ring 1. The timer 18 is an electronic timer with an alarm clock. Electronic timers are existing known technology, so their specific principles and structures will not be described in detail. When in use, the time is adjusted on the timer 18, and then a reminder is given based on the adjusted time. When medication is needed, the alarm clock on the timer sounds, which can clearly indicate the time to take the medication and avoid the problem of forgetting to take the medication.
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the operating tube 4 is vertically fixed to the inner side of the ring body 1 by the connecting rod 9. When the connecting rod 9 is installed, the connecting rod 9 is provided on both the left and right sides of the operating tube 4. One end of the connecting rod 9 is fixed to the operating tube 4, and the other end is fixed to the inner wall of the ring body 1. Therefore, the design of the connecting rod 9 makes it easy to install the operating tube 4 on the inner side of the ring body 1.
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the lower end of the operating tube 4 is detachably connected to a connecting tube 13 for loading tablets, and the bottom of the connecting tube 13 has a closed structure. Specifically, when implementing the detachable connection, the inner wall of the connecting tube 13 is provided with an internal thread, and the outer wall of the operating tube 4 is provided with an external thread that is threaded to the internal thread. Then, by tightening the connecting tube 13 to the bottom of the operating tube 4, the connecting tube 13 can be installed on the operating tube 4. In use, first, by tightening the connecting tube 13, the connecting tube 13 can be removed from the operating tube 4. Then, the medicine to be divided or crushed is placed in the connecting tube 13, and then the connecting tube 13 is reinstalled on the operating tube 4 by means of threads. Therefore, through the above operation, the tablets to be processed can be placed between the connecting tube 13 and the operating tube 4. Preferably, the distance between the outer wall of the connecting tube 13 and the inner wall of the ring body 1 is 1-2 cm. With the above distance setting, it is convenient to insert a finger into the gap between the connecting tube 13 and the ring body 1 to install or remove the connecting tube 13.
[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, an operating rod 14 is provided on the operating tube 4. The operating rod 14 is vertically arranged, and the upper end of the operating tube 4 is a closed structure. A through groove is opened at the upper end of the operating tube 4 for the operating rod 14 to pass through. The lower end of the operating rod 14 passes through the through groove and is located inside the operating tube 4. A cutter 12 is provided on the operating rod 14. A slot is opened at the bottom of the operating rod 14 for the cutter 12 to be inserted. A through hole is opened on the operating rod 14, which is connected to the inside of the slot. A push rod 11 is vertically arranged in the through hole, and the lower end of the push rod 11 passes through the slot and is fixed to the cutter 12. This section of the solution constitutes a processing component for crushing tablets in the connecting tube 13. The cutter 12 is preferably a cross cutter, and the slot is designed according to the cutter 12, so the slot is also... The cross-shaped structure, with the cutter 12 fitting snugly against the groove wall, prevents crushed medication from getting stuck in the gap between the cutter 12 and the groove. The upper end of the push rod 11 is located above the operating rod 14. Since the push rod 11 is fixed to the cutter 12, moving the upper end of the push rod 11 can move the cutter 12. When the tablet is large and difficult to swallow, it needs to be cut. To cut, first, open the connecting tube 13 and place the medication inside. Then, connect the connecting tube 13 to the operating tube 4. Finally, operate the push rod 11 to move the cutter 12 downwards, pushing the cutter 12 out of the groove on the operating rod 14. Once the cutter 12 is pushed out, the tablet at the bottom of the connecting tube 13 can be cut. After cutting, remove the connecting tube 13 from the operating tube 4 to take out the divided tablets. When the medicine needs to be crushed to enhance its efficacy, first, as described above, place the tablets to be crushed into the connecting tube 13 and connect it to the operating tube 4. Then, move the operating lever 14 downwards. During the downward movement of the operating lever 14, its bottom will contact the tablets. Then, move the operating lever 14 up and down repeatedly to crush the tablets at the bottom of the connecting tube 13. To speed up the crushing process, before crushing, the push rod 11 can be used to move the cutter 12 to cut the medicine first, and then crush it. Therefore, in this process, the operating lever 14 can be selected to crush the tablets according to the needs of use. Alternatively, the cutter 12 can be used to cut the tablets. During operation, both crushing and cutting are performed simultaneously, making it more convenient and efficient to process medicines. This avoids the problems of cutting and crushing tablets in existing technologies. Preferably, the push rod 11 has sliders on both sides, and a groove is provided in the through hole for the sliders to slide up and down. This design limits the sliders within the groove, allowing the push rod 11 to move stably up and down within the through hole. This, in turn, allows the cutter 12 to move stably up and down within the slot. Therefore, through this design, when the cutter 12 is removed from the slot and then pulled back, it can be accurately pulled back into the slot, minimizing the possibility of deviation between the cutter 12 and the slot.
[0031] During implementation, the bottom of the connecting tube 13 in the processing assembly is provided with a groove for inserting the tablet. The groove is located directly below the cutter 12 and the operating lever 14. Through the design of the groove, the tablet can be limited in the groove, and then the operating lever 14 and the cutter 12 can be aligned with the tablet more accurately and processed as much as possible.
[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, limit blocks 15 are provided on both the left and right sides of the operating rod 14, and tension springs 8 are installed between the limit blocks 15 and the inner top of the operating tube 4. One end of the tension spring 8 is fixed to the top of the limit block 15, and the other end is fixed to the inner top of the operating tube 4. Through the design of the tension spring 8, the limit blocks 15 can be pulled upward, thereby pulling the operating rod 14 upward. After pushing the operating rod 14 downward to crush the tablet, it is not necessary to manually pull the operating rod 14 back. Therefore, through the design of the tension spring 8, not only is it convenient to operate the operating rod 14, but it also prevents the operating rod 14 from falling out of the operating tube 4. Preferably, the inner side wall of the operating tube 4 is provided with a sliding groove for the limit blocks 15 to slide up and down. The limit blocks 15 and the sliding groove are in a sliding fit. Therefore, through the cooperation of the sliding groove and the limit blocks 15, the operating rod 14 can be limited, so that the operating rod 14 can move up and down more stably and avoid the problem of left and right deviation as much as possible.
[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, a first handle 7 is fixed to the upper end of the push rod 11. The design of the first handle 7 makes it easier to operate the push rod 11 to move downward.
[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, a spring 6 is installed between the bottom of the first handle 7 and the top of the operating lever 14. In its natural state, the cutter 12 is located in the slot. Through the design of the spring 6, when the first handle 7 is operated to push the push rod 11 and the cutter 12 downward to cut the tablet, the spring 6 can drive the push rod 11 and the cutter 12 to return to their original state through its elasticity. This allows the push rod 11 to drive the cutter 12 to move in the next operation without having to manually pull the push rod 11 and the cutter 12 back, thus increasing the convenience of use.
[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, a second handle 5 is installed on the top of the operating lever 14. The design of the second handle 5 makes it easier to move the operating lever 14 downward.
[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, a cleaning brush 10 is installed in any one of the sections. Because the partition 2 divides the annular groove into several independent sections, the cleaning brush 10 can be located in an unused section, such as... Figure 1In the orientation of the ring body 1, the cleaning brush 10 is located in the right-side section of the ring body 1. During use, because the tablets will be broken and crushed inside the connecting tube 13, after the connecting tube 13 is removed, some tablets may stick to the bottom of the connecting tube 13. At this time, by removing the cleaning brush 10, the medicine stuck in the connecting tube 13 can be swept out, thus making it easy to remove the medicine that has been processed in the connecting tube 13.
[0037] In practical use: First, place the medications to be taken in different sections within the ring 1 and cover them tightly with the cover plate 3. When medication is needed, open the cover plate 3, remove the medication from the section, and if some medications need to be cut or crushed, remove the connecting tube 13 from the bottom of the operating tube 4. Then, place the medications to be crushed or cut into the connecting tube 13, and reinstall the connecting tube 13 at the bottom of the operating tube 4. Then, the cutting blade 12 can be moved downwards by operating the push rod 11 to cut the medication. The medication can be crushed by repeatedly moving the operating rod 14 downwards. Finally, the crushed or cut medication can be taken out from the connecting tube 13 and taken. In this process, the integrated design of the operating rod 14, push rod 11, and cutting blade 12 facilitates the cutting or crushing of medications, avoiding the problem of inconvenience in cutting or crushing tablets when taking medication in the prior art.
