Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pharmaceutical cutting, specifically to a rotary pharmaceutical cutter. Background Technology

[0002] With advancements in modern medicine, some hospitals now prescribe medications in varying dosages based on different patient conditions. Medication dosages need to be adjusted according to factors such as the patient's condition, age, and weight. Sometimes, doctors will cut tablets into half or smaller doses to meet individualized treatment needs. For patients with swallowing difficulties, especially the elderly and children, cutting tablets into smaller doses makes them easier to take. By cutting tablets, patients can adjust dosages more flexibly, avoiding waste and thus reducing medication costs to some extent.

[0003] Currently, in hospitals, most medications are cut manually by medical staff in the pharmacy, while some hospitals use medication cutters. Manual cutting often makes it difficult to ensure accurate dosage, potentially leading to patients receiving too much or too little medication, affecting treatment outcomes. Using specialized medication cutting devices allows for more precise medication division, ensuring patients receive accurate dosages, thereby improving treatment accuracy and safety. Furthermore, medication cutting devices offer quick and convenient medication cutting, reducing the workload of medical staff. Utility Model Content

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 5 A rotary medicine cutter is shown, comprising a base plate, a housing 11, and side plates. The base plate has a medicine receiving area and a cutting area. The housing 11 is installed in the cutting area, and a medicine receiving cover 13 is installed in the medicine receiving area. The housing 11 includes a support plate 12 and a folding guard plate. The folding guard plate includes a front folding plate 111, a viewing plate 112, a top plate 113, and a rear folding plate. Figure 2 As shown, to ensure the overall strength of the folding guard plate, the front folding plate 111, the viewing plate 112, the top plate 113, and the rear folding plate are an integral structure. The support plate 12 is connected to the folding guard plate by welding. The side plates are connected to the side of the folding guard plate away from the support plate 12 by connectors. The support plate 12 has a support strip extending towards the medicine receiving area near the bottom plate. A medicine cutting device is connected to the side of the support plate 12 away from the folding guard plate, and a rotary motor 21 is installed on the side of the folding guard plate away from the medicine cutting device. A cutting assembly for use with the medicine cutting device is installed on the rear folding plate. A power supply and control device are also included. The power supply provides the necessary electrical energy to the medicine cutter; the control device is electrically connected to the rotary motor 21 and the devices in the cutting assembly for control operation.

[0022] Based on the above, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the cutting assembly includes a cutting bracket and a cutting motor 33 mounted on the cutting bracket. The drive end of the cutting motor 33 is connected to a cutting blade fixing shaft 36 via a coupling. A cutting blade 37 is mounted on the end of the cutting blade fixing shaft 36 away from the coupling. Figure 4 As shown, in order to adjust the cutting blade 37 horizontally in the opposite direction, the cutting bracket includes a fixed bracket 31, a sliding bracket 32, and a cutting screw 35 for adjusting the movement of the sliding bracket 32 ​​on the fixed bracket 31. A cutting spring 34 is sleeved on the cutting screw 35 between the sliding bracket 32 ​​and the fixed bracket 31. The cutting spring 34 can provide a force to the sliding bracket 32 ​​in the direction of the rotary motor 21 to prevent the sliding bracket 32 ​​from moving on the guide rail when the cutting blade 37 is working. The fixed bracket 31 includes an I-beam fixed to the side plate and a guide rail. The sliding bracket 32 ​​is mounted on the guide rail and slides. The cutting motor 33 is mounted on the sliding bracket 32. Adjusting the cutting screw 35 can adjust the position of the cutting blade 37.

[0023] Based on the above, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the medicine cutting device includes a medicine hub 42 connected to the drive end of a rotary motor 21 via a distributor and a medicine cutting box 41. The medicine cutting box 41 is fixed to the support plate 12 with screws. The medicine cutting box 41 has a hub cavity for installing the medicine hub 42 and a cutting cavity for installing the cutting blade 37. The side of the medicine cutting box 41 away from the support plate 12 has a medicine hub 42 mounting hole. The medicine hub 42 is inserted into the medicine cutting box 41 through a medicine hub 42 mounting sleeve. Before installation, a right bearing 431 is installed on the shaft connecting the medicine hub 42 and the distributor. The medicine cutting box 41 is also provided with a medicine hub cover plate 412 that mates with the medicine hub 42 mounting hole. A left bearing 432 is installed on the medicine hub cover plate 412. After the medicine hub cover plate 412 is closed, the left bearing 432 and the right bearing 431 jointly support the medicine hub 42, ensuring that the medicine hub 42 rotates when the rotary motor 21 is driven. The medicine hub 42 has medicine holes 421 evenly spaced on its side for placing medicines. The medicine holes 421 are customized according to the shape of the medicine to be cut. If the medicine is cut a few times, the medicine holes 421 on the medicine hub 42 can be customized in various specifications. The side of the medicine hub 42 is also provided with a cutting groove 422 parallel to the bottom surface of the medicine hub 42. The cutting groove 422 divides the medicine holes 421 into two equal parts. The working cutting blade 37 is inserted into the cutting groove 422 to cut the medicine. At the same time, the center line of the cutting blade fixing shaft 36 is on the same horizontal plane as the center line of the drive end of the rotary motor 21.

[0024] Based on the above, the top of the medicine cutting box 41 is provided with a medicine inlet 411 for placing medicine into the medicine hole 421, and the bottom of the medicine cutting box 41 is provided with a medicine outlet corresponding to the medicine inlet. During operation, the rotary motor 21 drives the medicine hub 42 to rotate, and the cutting motor 33 drives the cutting blade 37 to work. The medicine to be cut is manually placed into the medicine inlet 411, the medicine hub 42 rotates towards the cutting blade 37, and the cutting blade 37 cuts the medicine. After being cut, the medicine is discharged from the medicine outlet when the medicine hole 421 rotates and enters the medicine collection cup.

[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, the cutting chamber has an adjustment hole on the side near the support plate 12, which is used to adjust the distance between the cutting blade 37 and the medicine hub 42. When it is necessary to remove the medicine hub 42 from the cutting box 41, the cutting blade 37 is first moved away from the medicine hub 42. When the cutting blade fixing shaft 36 is moved to the rightmost side of the adjustment hole, there is a gap between the cutting blade 37 and the cutting groove, ensuring that the medicine hub 42 can be removed smoothly.

[0026] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above descriptions are merely specific embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
