[0025] 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.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-6 An embodiment of this utility model is provided: a medical care dispensing device, including a base 1 and a cover plate 2. The upper end of the base 1 is rotatably connected to the cover plate 2. A positioning groove 3 is provided at the center of the base 1. A blade 53 is provided inside the cover plate 2. A limiting component 4 is provided inside the base 1. The limiting component 4 includes a first sliding groove 41, a slider 42, a first spring 43, and a limiting block 44.

[0027] The base 1 has two sets of first slide grooves 41 inside, and sliders 42 are respectively arranged in the two sets of first slide grooves 41. A first spring 43 is arranged on the outside of the slider 42, a limit block 44 is arranged on the inside of the slider 42, and an auxiliary component 6 is arranged inside the slider 42.

[0028] This device, through the setting of limiting component 4 and auxiliary component 6, solves the problems of small tablet size, which makes it very inconvenient to cut by hand, and some tablets are easy to break during cutting. The broken tablet fragments are of different sizes, making it more difficult to weigh and easily causing waste.

[0029] Furthermore, a cutting assembly 5 is provided inside the cover plate 2. The cutting assembly 5 includes a second sliding groove 51, a pressing block 52, a limiting ring 54, and a second spring 55. The cover plate 2 has a second sliding groove 51, and the pressing block 52 is movably connected within the second sliding groove 51. A blade 53 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pressing block 52, and a limiting ring 54 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the pressing block 52. The second spring 55 is provided within the second sliding groove 51, and the two ends of the second spring 55 abut against the limiting ring 54 and the inner wall of the second sliding groove 51, respectively. Figure 4 As shown, this structure is used to place the tablets after the cutting component 5 is set up, close the cover plate 2, and then press the pressing block 52 down, which drives the limiting ring 54 and the blade 53 to move towards the tablets to cut them. While the pressing block 52 drives the limiting ring 54 down, it squeezes the second spring 55 to deform it. After pressing, the pressing block 52 and the blade 53 return to their original positions under the rebound action of the second spring 55, so that the blade 53 is stored in the second slide groove 51 to avoid scratching the user.

[0030] Furthermore, two sets of sliders 42 are movably installed in the first slide groove 41 with the positioning groove 3 as the center. The sliders 42 are T-shaped and their diameter is adapted to the first slide groove 41. One end of the first spring 43 abuts against the slider 42, and the other end of the first spring 43 abuts against the inner wall of the first slide groove 41. The limiting block 44 is arc-shaped. Figure 3 As shown, this structure is used to place the tablet in the positioning groove 3. When the tablet is placed, it pushes the limiting blocks 44 on both sides, thereby driving the slider 42 to move to both sides along the first sliding groove 41. As the tablet descends, the two sides of the tablet move to the lower part of the limiting blocks 44. The limiting blocks 44 are arc-shaped to fix the tablet, which improves the stability of the device cutting.

[0031] Furthermore, the auxiliary component 6 includes a third slide groove 61, a movable block 62, and a third spring 63. The slider 42 has a third slide groove 61 inside, and the movable block 62 is movably connected within the third slide groove 61. The outer end of the movable block 62 is rotatably connected to the limiting block 44. The third spring 63 is disposed inside the third slide groove 61, and its two ends abut against the inner walls of the movable block 62 and the third slide groove 61, respectively. The inner top of the slider 42 has rounded corners, and the diameter of the third slide groove 61 is adapted to the connecting piece at the limiting block 44. Figure 6 As shown, this structure is used so that when the tablet is removed after cutting, the tablet is stuck at the bottom of the two sets of limiting blocks 44. When the tablet is picked up, the limiting blocks 44 are moved upward along the third slide 61. After moving to the top, the limiting blocks 44 are rotatably connected to the movable block 62, so that the limiting blocks 44 on both sides rotate outward along the third slide 61, thereby removing the limitation on the tablet and making it easier to pick up the tablet.

[0032] Furthermore, a sorting component 7 is provided at the bottom of the base 1. The sorting component 7 includes a connecting block 71, a medicine storage tank 72, a connecting ring 73, and a bottom cover 74. Two sets of connecting blocks 71 are provided at the lower end of the base 1. Medicine storage tanks 72 are opened at the bottom of both the base 1 and the connecting blocks 71. A connecting ring 73 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting block 71. The two sets of connecting blocks 71 are threadedly connected to each other through the connecting ring 73. The bottom end of the bottom connecting block 71 is threadedly connected to the bottom cover 74. Figure 5 As shown, this structure is used to classify and store tablets through the storage tanks 72 inside the base 1 and connecting blocks 71. The tablets are classified according to the number of tablets or the number of times they are taken per day, and placed into the corresponding storage tanks 72. The corresponding number of connecting blocks 71 are connected, which makes the device convenient.

[0033] Furthermore, two sets of slots 8 are symmetrically formed on the outer surfaces of the connecting block 71 and the base 1, and the inner walls of the slots 8 are provided with two millimeters of anti-slip texture. Figure 5As shown, this structure is used for the user to take the device through the slot 8, and the slot 8 also facilitates the rotation of the connecting block 71 or the base 1.

[0034] Furthermore, the two sets of connecting blocks 71 and base 1 are different colors, and the connecting blocks 71 and base 1 located in the medicine storage tank 72 are made of transparent material. For example... Figure 5 As shown, this structure is used to distinguish between the two sets of connecting blocks 71 and the base 1 by different colors. The use of transparent material makes it easy to observe the number of pills and the dosage inside the medicine storage tank 72.

[0035] Working principle: When using, such as Figure 5 As shown, the tablets are first categorized and stored according to the quantity or daily dosage, and placed into the corresponding storage tank 72. Then, the connecting block 71 is connected to the base 1 via the connecting ring 73. Finally, the bottom cover 74 is rotated to seal the bottom connecting block 71. Figure 3 As shown, when the tablet needs to be cut, remove the tablet from the corresponding connecting block 71, press the switch at the base 1 to rotate the cover 2 outwards and open it, then place the tablet in the positioning groove 3. During placement, the tablet pushes the limiting blocks 44 on both sides, thereby driving the slider 42 to move to both sides along the first sliding groove 41. As the tablet descends, the sides of the tablet move to the lower part of the limiting blocks 44, where the limiting blocks 44 are arc-shaped to fix the tablet. Then, close the cover 2. Figure 4 As shown, press the pressing block 52 downwards, causing the limiting ring 54 and the blade 53 to move towards the tablet, cutting the tablet. While the pressing block 52 lowers the limiting ring 54, it compresses the second spring 55, causing it to deform. After pressing, the second spring 55 returns the pressing block 52 and blade 53 to their original positions, storing the blade 53 in the second groove 51 to prevent scratches to the user. Then, remove the cut tablet from the base 1. Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, since the tablet is stuck at the bottom of the two sets of limiting blocks 44, when the tablet is taken out, the limiting blocks 44 are moved upward along the third slide groove 61. After moving to the top, the limiting blocks 44 are rotatably connected to the movable block 62, so that the limiting blocks 44 on both sides rotate outward along the third slide groove 61, thereby removing the limitation on the tablet and making it easy to take out the tablet. The above is the entire working principle of this utility model.

[0036] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
