In addition, the character " / " in this paper generally represents an "or" relationship between the front and rear associated objects.

[0031] As Figures 1 to 8 shown, the portable western medicine tablet slitting device comprises a box body 1, a driving assembly 2, four clamping jaws 3, a containing piece 4, a connecting plate 5 and a slitting assembly 6.

[0032] The box body 1 serves as the main structure of the entire cutter, providing an internal space to accommodate the driving assembly 2. The driving assembly 2 is arranged inside the box body 1 to drive the movement of the four clamping jaws 3. The clamping jaws 3 are respectively installed in the accommodation grooves 41 of the accommodation member 4 to fix and center the tablets. The clamping jaws 3 are connected to the accommodation grooves 41 through interaction, ensuring stable movement under the action of the driving assembly 2. The accommodation member 4 is fixedly connected to the box body 1, and the bottom thereof is provided with the accommodation grooves 41 accommodating the four clamping jaws 3, ensuring that the clamping jaws 3 can stably accommodate the tablets. The accommodation member 4 is provided with a circular notch 42, facilitating the placement and cutting of the tablets. The connecting plate 5 is connected to the box body 1 through a rotating connection, allowing the connecting plate 5 to switch between different states. One end of the connecting plate 5 is connected to the cutting assembly 6, and the other end is rotatably connected to the box body 1.

[0033] In the first state, as shown in Figure 1 , the cutting assembly 6 corresponds to the circular notch 42 of the accommodation member 4, which facilitates carrying of the cutter. In actual use, the connecting plate 5 is actuated to rotate to the second state as shown in Figure 8 . In the second state, the circular notch 42 of the accommodation member 4 is in an open state, and the user can place the tablets to be cut in the circular notch 42. After placing the tablets, the user actuates the connecting plate 5 again to return the cutter to the first state, and the cutting assembly 6 is re-aligned with the circular notch 42 of the accommodation member 4. After the cutter returns to the first state, the driving assembly 2 is started to drive the four clamping jaws 3 to move simultaneously and approach each other, firmly clamping the tablets in the accommodation grooves 41 of the accommodation member 4. The clamping action of the four clamping jaws 3 ensures that the tablets are in a concentric state with the circular notch 42, achieving stable fixation and centering of the tablets. After clamping in place, the cutting assembly 6 starts to work to cut the tablets. Since the tablets are uniformly clamped, the cutting assembly 6 can achieve uniform and accurate cutting, avoiding the unevenness that may occur in traditional manual cutting. After cutting is completed, the user can take out the cut tablets by rotating the connecting plate 5, ensuring accurate dosage of each tablet and improving the safety and effectiveness of medication.

[0034] In this embodiment, a hanging chain 7 connected to the box body 1 is also included. The hanging chain 7 is designed to improve the portability of the cutter. The user can hang the cutter on a keychain, belt or other portable device, making it convenient to carry daily and ensuring that the cutter is always available.

[0035] In the embodiment, the driving assembly 2 comprises a rack 21, a driving gear 22 and a knob 23. The rack 21 is slidingly installed in the inside of the box body 1, ensuring that it can move linearly along a predetermined track. The driving gear 22 is rotatably installed in the inside of the box body 1, and the rack 21 is in meshing connection with the driving gear 22, ensuring that the linear movement of the rack 21 can be accurately converted into the rotational movement of the driving gear 22. The knob 23 passes through the strip-shaped gap 11 provided on the side wall of the box body 1 and is in sliding connection with the strip-shaped gap 11, ensuring that the knob 23 can stably move linearly along the strip-shaped gap 11. The knob 23 is fixedly connected with the rack 21, and when the knob 23 is actuated, the rack 21 moves linearly correspondingly. The driving gear 22 is provided with driving grooves 221, and the four driving grooves 221 are arc-shaped and used to cooperate with the transmission rod 32 to realize the movement of the clamping jaw 3.

[0036] The clamping jaw 3 comprises a clamping block 31 and a transmission rod 32. The clamping block 31 is used to clamp the main part of the western medicine tablet. The transmission rod 32 is fixedly connected with the clamping block 31, passes through the movement gap provided on the upper wall of the box body 1 and extends into the inside of the box body 1 to pass through the driving grooves 221. The transmission rod 32 converts the rotational movement of the driving gear 22 into the relative movement of the clamping jaw 3 through the circumferential movement of the driving grooves 221, so as to realize the mutual approaching or moving away of the clamping jaw 3.

[0037] In use, the operator actuates the knob 23 to move linearly along the strip-shaped gap 11. When the knob 23 is actuated, the rack 21 moves linearly, and the driving gear 22 starts to rotate due to the movement of the rack 21. The rotation of the driving gear 22 drives the four arc-shaped driving grooves 221 thereon to move synchronously in a circumferential direction. The circumferential movement of the driving grooves 221 is transmitted through the transmission rod 32 to drive the clamping jaw 3 to move. Since the clamping jaw 3 is in sliding connection with the accommodating groove 41, the accommodating groove 41 plays a limiting and guiding role on the clamping jaw 3, ensuring that the clamping jaw 3 can only move along the predetermined track of the accommodating groove 41. The rotation of the driving grooves 221 makes the clamping jaw 3 approach or move away from each other, so as to clamp or release the western medicine tablet. After the clamping jaw 3 approaches each other to clamp the tablet, the cutting assembly 6 starts to cut the tablet. Since the tablet is uniformly clamped, the cutting assembly 6 can realize accurate and uniform cutting, avoiding the uneven problems that may occur in the traditional manual cutting process. After cutting, the operator actuates the knob 23 again to make the knob 23 return to the initial position, and the rack 21 and the driving gear 22 stop moving, and the clamping jaw 3 releases the cut tablet.

[0038] In the embodiment, the driving assembly 2 further comprises a reset assembly 24, which comprises two mounting seats 241, a first spring 242, a guide shaft 243 and a sliding block 244. The two mounting seats 241 are fixedly installed in the interior of the box body 1 as support bases of the guide shaft 243, ensuring the stability of the guide shaft 243 in the vertical direction. The guide shaft 243 is fixedly installed between the two mounting seats 241, ensuring the accurate alignment of the guide shaft 243 in the horizontal plane and providing guiding support for the sliding block 244. The sliding block 244 is in sliding connection with the guide shaft 243 and can move smoothly along the guide shaft 243. The sliding block 244 is fixedly connected with the rack 21, ensuring that the linear motion of the rack 21 is synchronized with the sliding motion of the sliding block 244. The first spring 242 is sleeved on the guide shaft 243, with one end connected to the mounting seat 241 and the other end connected to the sliding block 244. The first spring 242 is compressed when the sliding block 244 moves, storing elastic potential energy.

[0039] When the operator actuates the push block 23, the push block 23 moves linearly along the strip-shaped gap 11, directly driving the rack 21 to move linearly correspondingly. The movement of the rack 21 drives the driving gear 22 to start rotating through the meshing. The four arc-shaped driving grooves 221 on the driving gear 22 move synchronously in a circular motion, further driving the clamping jaws 3 to move close to each other through the transmission rod 32, thereby stably clamping the tablets. After the cutting operation is completed, the operator releases the push block 23. At this time, the restoring force of the first spring 242 drives the sliding block 244 to reset along the guide shaft 243, and the reset movement of the sliding block 244 further drives the rack 21 to return to the initial position. This process realizes the automatic reset of the driving assembly 2, ensuring that the clamping jaws 3 release the tablets and prepare for the next cutting operation.

[0040] The design of the reset assembly 24 enables the operator to automatically complete the reset process through the restoring force of the first spring 242 without manually resetting the push block 23 after completing the tablet cutting, simplifying the operation steps and improving the use efficiency.

[0041] In the embodiment, the connecting plate 5 is provided with a hole through which the cutting assembly 6 passes, and the connecting plate 5 is provided with a cavity 51.

[0042] The cutting assembly 6 comprises a pressing handle 61, a connecting rod 62, a limiting piece 63, a cutter 64 and a second spring 65. The pressing handle 61 is fixedly connected with the limiting piece 63 through the connecting rod 62, the limiting piece 63 is arranged in the cavity 51, the cutter 64 is connected with the side of the limiting piece 63 away from the pressing handle 61, and the cutter 64 corresponds to the circular gap 42 of the containing piece 4. The second spring 65 is arranged in the cavity 51 and in contact with the limiting piece 63, and is used to provide the limiting piece 63 with an elastic force away from the containing piece 4.

[0043] When the western medicine tablets are cut, the connecting plate 5 is pushed, the cutter 64 is matched with the circular notch 42 of the containing piece 4, then the pressing handle 61 is pressed down, the pressing handle 61 drives the limiting sheet 63 to move through the connecting rod 62, the limiting sheet 63 drives the cutter 64 to cut the western medicine tablets. When the cutting of the tablets is completed, the pressing handle 61 is released, the restoring force of the second spring 65 drives the limiting sheet 63 and the cutter 64 to reset, ready for the next cutting.

[0044] In the embodiment, the connecting plate 5 is curved, the connecting plate 5 is connected with the box body 1 through the rotating shaft 52, and the supporting block 53 is arranged on one side of the connecting plate 5 close to the box body 1. The supporting block 53 is arranged on one side of the connecting plate 5 close to the box body 1, and mainly plays a supporting role on the connecting plate 5, so that the connecting plate 5 can keep a stable state when the pressing handle 61 is pressed. The supporting block 53 can effectively prevent the unnecessary inclination or displacement of the connecting plate 5 under stress, so as to ensure the accurate operation in the cutting process. When the tablets are cut, the supporting block 53 plays a supporting role when the operator presses the pressing handle 61, so that the connecting plate 5 cannot be deformed due to the applied pressure, the cutter 64 is accurately matched with the circular notch 42 of the containing piece 4, and the accurate cutting of the tablets is ensured.

[0045] In the embodiment, the limiting plate 12 is arranged on the box body 1. When the connecting plate 5 is pushed, the connecting plate 5 will start to rotate until the connecting plate 5 contacts with the limiting plate 12. At this time, the rotation of the connecting plate 5 stops, so that the connecting plate 5 is in a suitable position, and the over-rotation or deviation from the predetermined track is avoided. The contact between the connecting plate 5 and the limiting plate 12 ensures that the cutter 64 of the cutting assembly 6 is accurately aligned with the axis of the circular notch 42 of the containing piece 4, so that the uniform cutting of the western medicine tablets is ensured, and the uneven dosage or poor cutting effect of the tablets caused by the inaccurate cutting position is avoided.

[0046] The above specific embodiments do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications, combinations, sub-combinations and substitutions can be made according to design requirements and other factors. Any modification, equivalent substitution and improvement within the spirit and principle of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
