[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model document proposes a drug dosage dispenser. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing drug dosage dispensers, such as inaccurate dosage, low efficiency, and cumbersome operation, and to propose a new drug dosage dispenser.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A drug dosing dispenser, comprising:

[0008] The outer shell has multiple fixed cylinders fixedly installed on its bottom inner wall. These multiple fixed cylinders are used to store and quantify the drugs to be dispensed. Each of the multiple fixed cylinders has a separator fixedly installed inside. The separator divides the interior of the corresponding fixed cylinder into a storage chamber and a quantification chamber. The storage chamber is located above the separator, and the quantification chamber is located below the separator.

[0009] It also includes a discharge hopper, which is fixedly inserted through the bottom inner wall of the outer shell, and is used to discharge the pre-dispensed amount of medicine;

[0010] The outer walls of the plurality of fixed cylinders are provided with discharge ports, the plurality of discharge ports are located near the bottom end of the corresponding fixed cylinder, and the plurality of discharge ports face the center of the discharge hopper;

[0011] It also includes multiple sets of quantitative components, each of which includes a quantitative plate and a threaded rod. The quantitative plate is slidably and sealed on the inner wall of the quantitative cavity, and the threaded rod is threaded through the quantitative plate. The quantitative components are used to complete the quantitative dispensing of drugs in the corresponding fixed cylinder.

[0012] In one possible design, the metering component includes a conical groove formed at the top of the corresponding dividing hopper, a discharge hole formed at the bottom of the dividing hopper, the discharge hole penetrating the adjacent conical groove, a ball bearing disposed inside the conical groove, the ball bearing engaging with the discharge hole and the outer diameter of the ball bearing being larger than the inner diameter of the discharge hole, for sealing the discharge hole; the bottom end of the threaded rod penetrates the bottom of the outer casing, the top end of the threaded rod penetrates the discharge hole and engages with the ball bearing, the outer diameter of the threaded rod being smaller than the inner diameter of the discharge hole, for ensuring that the drug is smoothly discharged from the gap.

[0013] In one possible design, the metering component further includes a spring sleeved on the outer wall of the threaded rod, the top end of the spring being fixedly connected to the bottom of the metering plate, and the bottom end of the spring being fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the outer casing; a limiting disc is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the threaded rod, the limiting disc being located above the metering plate, and multiple limiting posts are fixedly installed on the top of the limiting disc, the top ends of the multiple limiting posts cooperating with the bottom of the separating hopper to cooperate with the spring to limit the threaded rod.

[0014] In one possible design, the top of each of the multiple metering plates is provided with an inclined surface, and the lower end of the inclined surface of each of the multiple metering plates is matched with an adjacent discharge port to ensure that the metered drug is discharged smoothly.

[0015] In one possible design, a knob is fixedly installed at the bottom end of each of the multiple threaded rods for rotating the multiple threaded rods accordingly; a lever is sleeved on the outer wall of each of the multiple threaded rods, the multiple levers are located below the outer shell, and the multiple levers cooperate with the knobs to assist in pulling the threaded rods.

[0016] In one possible design, the multiple fixed cylinders are all made of transparent material, and the outer walls of the multiple fixed cylinders are provided with scales. The multiple scales are located outside the corresponding quantitative chambers. The outer wall of the outer shell is provided with multiple observation windows, and the multiple observation windows are matched with adjacent scales to facilitate the user's observation and use of the device.

[0017] In one possible design, a top plate is fixedly installed on the top of the outer shell, the top ends of multiple fixed cylinders are fixedly connected to the bottom of the top plate, a feeding hopper is fixedly inserted through the top of each of the multiple top plates, and the multiple feeding hoppers are connected to the corresponding fixed cylinders for adding the drug to be used; a sealing cap is threaded to the top of each of the multiple feeding hoppers, and the multiple sealing caps are used to seal the corresponding feeding hoppers.

[0018] In this application, during use, the user can add various drugs to be dispensed into the corresponding fixed cylinders through the feed hopper; the drugs can be in powder, small granular, or liquid form; when the drugs are added to the storage chamber in the fixed cylinder, under the action of gravity, multiple ball bearings can block the adjacent discharge holes, ensuring that the drugs in the storage chamber will not leak; in a static state, multiple springs will push the corresponding metering plates to rise, and the multiple metering plates can drive the corresponding threaded rods to rise synchronously, and the tops of the multiple threaded rods will insert into the discharge holes and complete the lifting of the corresponding ball bearings. At this time, the drugs in the storage chamber will fall onto the metering plates until the gap between the metering plates and the separator hopper is filled, thus completing the metering of the drugs; when the user needs to adjust the dispensing amount of various drugs, the user can adjust the corresponding threaded rods as needed. The threaded rod rotates, allowing the corresponding metering plate to move up and down within the fixed cylinder, thus adjusting the size of the metering chamber. An observation window on the exterior allows for observation of the interior of the fixed cylinder, and multiple scales enable precise adjustment of the metering plate's position. When the user needs to discharge the metered medication, they simply pull the threaded rod down using the lever. The ball bearings then roll down and close the discharge port. Simultaneously, when the metering plate reaches the discharge port, the medication above it is discharged through the outlet. The discharged medication falls into the discharge hopper and is discharged through the opening at the bottom of the hopper. The user only needs to place a collection container below the discharge hopper beforehand to collect the required medication.

[0019] Beneficial effects: In this utility model, the drug dosage dispenser is provided with multiple fixed cylinders inside the outer shell, and each fixed cylinder is provided with a partition hopper inside, which can divide the fixed cylinder into a storage chamber and a metering chamber. After the drug is discharged, the metering operation can start immediately, which effectively realizes the stable storage and rapid metering of the drug.

[0021] In this invention, the drug dosage dispenser includes a metering plate and a threaded rod as the metering component. By rotating the threaded rod and sliding the metering plate, the size of the metering cavity can be precisely adjusted, thereby achieving precise control of the drug dosage. In addition, the inclusion of springs and limiting discs further enhances the stability and reliability of the metering component.

[0022] In this utility model, the drug dosage dispenser has an observation window and scale on the outer shell, which allows the user to clearly see the drug inside the fixed cylinder, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the position of the dispensing plate and the amount of drug dispensed. At the same time, the knob and dial make the rotation and pulling of the threaded rod easier and reduce the difficulty of operation.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0031] Example 1: Refer to Figure 1-5 A distributor, comprising:

[0032] The outer casing 1 has multiple fixed cylinders 2 fixedly installed on its bottom inner wall. These fixed cylinders 2 are used for storing and dispensing the drug to be dispensed. Inside each fixed cylinder 2, a dividing hopper 9 is fixedly installed, which divides the interior of the fixed cylinder 2 into a storage chamber and a dispensing chamber. The storage chamber is located above the dividing hopper 9 and is used to store the drug to be dispensed; the dispensing chamber is located below the dividing hopper 9 and is used for dispensing the drug.

[0033] In addition, this embodiment also includes a discharge hopper 5, which is fixedly inserted through the bottom inner wall of the outer shell 1 for discharging the pre-quantified drug. Discharge ports 11 are provided on the outer walls of multiple fixed cylinders 2, and these discharge ports 11 are all located near the bottom of the corresponding fixed cylinder 2, and all face the center of the discharge hopper 5, so that the pre-quantified drug can be smoothly introduced into the discharge hopper 5.

[0034] To achieve drug quantification, this embodiment also includes multiple sets of quantification components. Each set of quantification components includes a quantification plate 12 and a threaded rod 13. The quantification plate 12 is slidably and sealed within the quantification chamber, while the threaded rod 13 is threaded through the quantification plate 12. By rotating the threaded rod 13, the position of the quantification plate 12 within the quantification chamber can be adjusted, thereby achieving drug quantification.

[0035] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the metering component also includes a conical groove formed at the top of the dividing hopper 9 and a discharge hole 17 at the bottom of the dividing hopper 9. The discharge hole 17 penetrates the adjacent conical groove, and a ball bearing 10 is disposed within the conical groove. The outer diameter of the ball bearing 10 is larger than the inner diameter of the discharge hole 17, thus sealing the discharge hole 17. The bottom end of the threaded rod 13 penetrates the bottom of the outer casing 1, and the top end penetrates the discharge hole 17 and engages with the ball bearing 10. When the threaded rod 13 moves upward, it pushes the ball bearing 10 away from the discharge hole 17, thereby allowing the drug to enter the discharge hopper 5 from the metering chamber. The outer diameter of the threaded rod 13 is smaller than the inner diameter of the discharge hole 17 to ensure that the drug can be smoothly discharged from the gap. The ball bearing 10 is a small ball with a certain weight and can be made of materials such as metal or ceramic.

[0036] In addition, in this embodiment, the metering assembly also includes a spring 14 sleeved on the outer wall of the threaded rod 13, and a limiting disk 18 fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the threaded rod 13. The top end of the spring 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the metering plate 12, and the bottom end is fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the outer casing 1. The limiting disk 18 is located above the metering plate 12, and a plurality of limiting posts 19 are fixedly installed on its top. The top ends of these limiting posts 19 cooperate with the bottom of the dividing hopper 9 to cooperate with the spring 14 to limit the threaded rod 13, ensuring that the threaded rod 13 can be continuously inserted into the discharge hole 17 when stationary, so as to complete the metering of the drug in the corresponding metering chamber.

[0037] To facilitate drug discharge, in this embodiment, the tops of multiple metering plates 12 are provided with slopes. The lower end of these slopes mates with the adjacent discharge port 11 to ensure that the metered drug can be discharged smoothly.

[0038] This application can be used in the field of pharmaceutical technology, or in other fields applicable to this application.

[0039] Example 2: Reference Figure 1 , 2 3, 4, Improvements based on Example 1: A drug dosage dispenser applied to the field of pharmaceutical technology;

[0040] In this embodiment, during operation, the user can rotate the threaded rod 13 by rotating the knob 15 fixed to the bottom end of the threaded rod 13, thereby adjusting the height of the metering plate 12. Furthermore, a lever 16 is fitted onto the outer wall of the threaded rod 13, located below the outer casing 1. The lever 16 cooperates with the knob 15 to assist the user in pulling the threaded rod 13.

[0041] To facilitate user observation of the medication, in this embodiment, multiple fixed cylinders 2 are made of transparent material, and their outer walls are provided with graduations 7. These graduations 7 are located outside the corresponding metering chambers, while the outer wall of the outer shell 1 has multiple observation windows 8, which cooperate with adjacent graduations 7. In this way, the user can observe the condition of the medication and the position of the metering plate 12 through the observation windows 8.

[0042] In this embodiment, a top plate 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the outer casing 1, and the top ends of multiple fixed cylinders 2 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the top plate 3. Multiple feed hoppers 4 are fixedly inserted through the top of the top plate 3, and these feed hoppers 4 are connected to the corresponding fixed cylinders 2 for adding the medicine to be used. In order to close the feed hoppers 4, their top ends are threaded with a sealing cap 6.

[0043] Finally, in this embodiment, a ring bracket is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the outer shell 1, and multiple support legs are fixedly mounted on the bottom of the ring bracket. The ring bracket and the outer shell 1 rotate with damping, which allows the user to easily adjust the angle of the main body of the outer shell 1 and make it convenient for the user to take out the corresponding medicine.

[0044] The working principle and usage process of this technical solution are as follows: During use, the user can add various drugs to be dispensed into the corresponding fixed cylinders 2 through the feed hopper 4; the drugs can be in powder, small granular, or liquid form; when the drugs are added to the storage chamber in the fixed cylinder 2, under the action of gravity, multiple ball bearings 10 can block adjacent discharge holes 17, ensuring that the drugs in the storage chamber will not leak; in a static state, multiple springs 14 will push the corresponding metering plates 12 upwards, and the multiple metering plates 12 can drive the corresponding threaded rods 13 to rise synchronously, and the tops of the multiple threaded rods 13 will insert into the discharge holes 17 and complete the lifting of the corresponding ball bearings 10. At this time, the drugs in the storage chamber will fall onto the metering plates 12 until the gap between the metering plates 12 and the separating hopper 9 is filled, thus completing the metering of the drugs; when the user needs to adjust the dispensing amount of various drugs, the user can adjust the amount as needed. Rotating the corresponding threaded rod 13 allows the corresponding metering plate 12 to move up and down within the fixed cylinder 2, thus adjusting the size of the metering chamber. Since the outer casing 1 has an observation window 8, the interior of the fixed cylinder 2 can be observed through the observation window 8. Simultaneously, multiple scales 7 allow for more precise adjustment of the position of the metering plate 12. When the user needs to discharge the metered medication, they simply pull the corresponding threaded rod 13 down using the lever 16. The ball bearing 10 will then roll down again and close the discharge port 17. Simultaneously, when the metering plate 12 moves to the discharge port 11, the medication above it will be discharged through the discharge port 11. The discharged medication will fall into the discharge hopper 5 and be discharged through the opening at the bottom of the discharge hopper 5. The user only needs to place a collection container below the discharge hopper 5 beforehand to collect the required medication.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
