Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of timed pillbox technology, specifically a multifunctional and convenient timed pillbox. Background Technology

[0002] A timed pillbox is a device used to store medications and remind people to take them on time. Patients who have undergone eye surgery need to apply eye drops to their eyes regularly as prescribed by their doctor to prevent eye wound infection and promote wound healing.

[0003] A search revealed that patent application number 202322114295.2 discloses a timed pillbox, comprising a pillbox body, a storage slot at the top of the pillbox body, multiple photosensitive sensors equidistantly arranged on the inner rear wall of the storage slot, multiple pressure sensors equidistantly arranged at the bottom of the storage slot, multiple top covers equidistantly mounted on the top of the pillbox body via hinges, an indicator light on the top of each top cover, a timer display screen near the upper right corner of the top of the pillbox body, and a buzzer near the lower right corner of the top of the pillbox body.

[0004] Although the timed pillbox can detect the state of the medication inside the box using pressure and light sensors to indicate whether the patient has taken the medication, the medication inside bounces around when the box is moved, which can easily lead to inaccurate data from the pressure sensors. This can cause patients to miss their medication time and make it difficult to remind patients who have undergone eye surgery which eye to use the medication in.

[0005] Therefore, we propose a multifunctional and convenient timed pillbox. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a multifunctional and convenient timed pillbox, which solves the problem that when existing devices are moved around, the medication inside is shaken up and down, which can easily lead to inaccurate data detected by the pressure sensor, causing patients to miss the medication time. It also makes it inconvenient to remind patients undergoing eye surgery which eye to use the medication on.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a multifunctional and convenient timed pillbox, comprising a hollow pillbox with an open front side, wherein three equally spaced partitions are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the pillbox, the three partitions dividing the interior of the pillbox into a first space, a second space, a third space and a fourth space, wherein each of the first space, the second space, the third space and the fourth space can be provided with a pull-out box, and a reminder component is installed on the pillbox;

[0008] The indicator component includes a housing, a microprocessor, a touchscreen, a rangefinder, a lithium battery, and indicator light groups. The housing is fixedly installed on the top surface of the medicine box. The microprocessor is installed inside the housing, and the touchscreen connected to the microprocessor is installed on the top surface of the housing. There are four indicator light groups, each fixedly installed on the top front side of the medicine box and positioned opposite each other in the first, second, third, and fourth spaces. The indicator light groups are connected to the microprocessor. Each indicator light group includes a left indicator light and a right indicator light, which are distributed on the left and right sides of the first, second, third, and fourth spaces, respectively. Four rangefinders are installed on the back of the inner wall of the medicine box, positioned opposite the first, second, third, and fourth spaces. The rangefinders are used to measure the distance between the pull-out box and the back of the medicine box.

[0009] Preferably, the back of the medicine box has four mounting slots corresponding to the positions of the first, second, third, and fourth spaces. The four rangefinders are respectively fixedly installed on the inner walls of the four mounting slots. The left indicator light is red, and the right indicator light is green. The mounting slots facilitate the installation of the rangefinders, thereby preventing the rangefinders from obstructing the rear side of the pull-out box from fitting against the rear side of the medicine box interior. By measuring the distance between the rear wall of the pull-out box and the rear side of the medicine box interior using the rangefinders, it can be determined whether the pull-out box at the corresponding position has been pulled out. The red and green colors facilitate quick identification of which eye needs medication.

[0010] Preferably, a lithium battery is fixedly installed on the bottom surface inside the housing. The lithium battery is connected to an external power source for charging via wires. The microprocessor is installed on the top surface of the lithium battery. The lithium battery supplies power to the indicator light group, the microprocessor, the touch screen, and the rangefinder. The lithium battery can provide power to the indicator components.

[0011] Preferably, four latches are fixedly installed at the top front side of the medicine box, which are positioned opposite to the first space, the second space, the third space, and the fourth space. A latch accessory that works with the latches is fixedly installed at the top front side of the pull-out box. The use of the latches and the latch accessory together can prevent the latch accessory from moving around in the medicine box.

[0012] Preferably, a pull ring is fixedly installed in the middle of the front side of the pull-out box, which facilitates pulling the pull-out box to the outside of the medicine box.

[0013] This utility model provides a multifunctional and convenient timed pill box. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. This multi-functional and convenient timed pillbox uses a microprocessor to control corresponding indicator lights to illuminate, thus reminding the patient to take medication. If the left indicator light is on, it means the patient's left eye needs medication; if the right indicator light is on, it means the patient's right eye needs medication; if both indicator lights are on simultaneously, it means the patient's eyes need medication. This allows for quick reminders of which eye needs medication. When the patient pulls the pull-out box out of the pillbox, a distance measuring device can detect the distance between the back of the pull-out box and the back of the inside of the pillbox. The new device allows users to push the pull-out box back into place after medication administration. By using a rangefinder to detect a decrease in the distance between the back of the pull-out box and the back of the medicine box, it can be determined that the patient has taken the medication, and the indicator light will turn off. This avoids inaccurate rangefinder readings caused by the movement of the medication. It also solves the problem that existing devices, when moved around, cause the medication inside to bounce up and down, which can lead to inaccurate data from the pressure sensor and cause patients to miss their medication time. Furthermore, it is not convenient to remind patients who have undergone eye surgery which eye to use the medication on.

[0015] 2. This multi-functional and convenient timed pill box, through the use of buckles and buckle accessories, can prevent the buckle accessories from moving around inside the pill box. The pull ring makes it easy to pull the pull-out box out of the pill box. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Example 1:

[0023] like Figure 1-4As shown: A medicine box 1 is hollow inside and open at the front. Three equally spaced partitions 4 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the medicine box 1, dividing the interior of the medicine box 1 into a first space 11, a second space 12, a third space 13, and a fourth space 14. Each of the first space 11, second space 12, third space 13, and fourth space 14 has a pull-out box 3. A prompting component 2 is installed on the medicine box 1. The prompting component 2 includes a housing 21, a microprocessor 22, a touch screen 23, a rangefinder 24, a lithium battery 27, and a prompt light assembly. The housing 21 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the medicine box 1. The microprocessor 22 is installed inside the housing 21, and a device connected to the microprocessor 22 is installed on the top surface of the housing 21. The touchscreen 23 has four sets of indicator lights, each fixedly mounted on the top front of the medicine box 1 and positioned opposite the first space 11, second space 12, third space 13, and fourth space 14 respectively. The indicator lights are connected to the microprocessor 22. Each indicator light set includes a left indicator light 25 and a right indicator light 26, distributed on the left and right sides of the first space 11, second space 12, third space 13, and fourth space 14 respectively. Four rangefinders 24 are located on the back of the inner wall of the medicine box 1, opposite the first space 11, second space 12, third space 13, and fourth space 14. The rangefinders 24 are used to measure the distance between the pull-out box 3 and the back of the medicine box 1. The back of the medicine box 1 has four mounting slots 15 corresponding to the positions of the first space 11, the second space 12, the third space 13, and the fourth space 14. Four rangefinders 24 are fixedly mounted on the inner walls of the four mounting slots 15. The left indicator light 25 is red, and the right indicator light 26 is green. A lithium battery 27 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface inside the outer casing 21. The lithium battery 27 is charged by connecting to an external power source via wires. A microprocessor 22 is installed on the top surface of the lithium battery 27. The lithium battery 27 supplies power to the indicator light group, the microprocessor 22, the touch screen 23, and the rangefinders 24. The microprocessor 22 controls the corresponding indicator light group to illuminate, thus reminding the patient to take the medication. If the left indicator light 25 illuminates... If the indicator light 25 is on, it means the patient's left eye needs medication. If the right indicator light 26 is on, it means the patient's right eye needs medication. If both the left and right indicator lights 26 are on, it means the patient's eyes need medication. This helps to quickly remind the patient which eye needs medication. When the patient takes the medication, the pull-out box 3 is pulled out of the medicine box 1. The rangefinder 24 can detect that the distance between the back of the pull-out box 3 and the back of the inside of the medicine box 1 has increased. After taking the medication, the pull-out box 3 is pushed back into place. The rangefinder 24 can detect that the distance between the back of the pull-out box 3 and the back of the inside of the medicine box 1 has decreased. This indicates that the patient has taken the medication, and the indicator lights will turn off. This prevents the rangefinder 24 from making inaccurate detection results due to the movement of the medication.

[0024] Example 2:

[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown: Four buckles 32 are fixedly installed on the top front side of the medicine box 1, which are opposite to the positions of the first space 11, the second space 12, the third space 13 and the fourth space 14. A buckle accessory 33 that works with the buckles 32 is fixedly installed on the top front side of the pull-out box 3. A pull ring 31 is fixedly installed in the middle front side of the pull-out box 3. Through the cooperation of the buckles 32 and the buckle accessory 33, the buckle accessory 33 can be prevented from moving randomly in the medicine box 1. The pull ring 31 makes it easy to pull the pull-out box 3 to the outside of the medicine box 1.

[0026] The working principle and usage process of this utility model: This multifunctional and convenient timed pillbox, when in use, involves classifying and placing medications into the first space 11, second space 12, third space 13, and fourth space 14. Based on the patient's medication schedule, the microprocessor 22 is set via the touchscreen 23, inputting the medication information into the microprocessor 22. When the patient needs medication, the microprocessor 22 controls the corresponding indicator lights to illuminate, thus reminding the patient to take the medication. If the left indicator light 25 illuminates, it means the patient's left eye needs medication; if the right indicator light 26 illuminates, it means the patient's right eye needs medication; if both the left and right indicator lights 25 illuminate, it means the patient needs medication. 6. Simultaneous illumination indicates that the patient's eyes require medication. When the patient needs medication, they will first release the latches 32 and 33 from the pull-out box 3, and then pull out the corresponding position of the pull-out box 3 through the pull ring 31. Then, they will take out the medicine inside and use it. When the pull-out box 3 is pulled out of the medicine box 1, the rangefinder 24 can detect that the distance between the back of the pull-out box 3 and the back of the inside of the medicine box 1 increases. After taking the medication, the patient puts the medicine bottle back into the pull-out box 3 and pushes the pull-out box 3 back to its original position. The rangefinder 24 detects that the distance between the back of the pull-out box 3 and the back of the inside of the medicine box 1 decreases, which indicates that the patient has taken the medication, and the indicator light group will turn off.
