Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drug dispensing technology, and in particular to a miniature drug dispensing device. Background Technology
[0002] Mini-tablets (or simply microtablets) are typically less than 3 mm in diameter and are generally multi-unit formulations. Microspheres are spherical entities with a diameter of less than 2.5 mm, composed of drug powder and excipients. Mini-tablets / microspheres offer advantages such as easy swallowing, accurate dosing, and flexible dosage adjustment, making them suitable for children and patients with swallowing difficulties. Dosage varies among patients of different ages, and multiple mini-tablets / microspheres are often required. However, due to their small size, precise dosing is crucial for medications requiring large doses at once. Furthermore, some medications exhibit skin contact toxicity; therefore, a dispensing counter that eliminates direct contact with the medication is essential. Currently, most patients use the method of pouring the microcapsules / micropellets into their palms or other containers to determine the quantity. If too many microcapsules / micropellets are poured out, they need to be poured back into the bottle, which inevitably causes contamination of the microcapsules / micropellets and affects the quality of the medicine. Moreover, the process of determining the number of microcapsules is also time-consuming and laborious, especially for some older patients or those with mobility difficulties, making it even more difficult for them to independently complete the process of obtaining and taking the medicine.
[0003] Currently, there are many packaging bottles on the market and in related technical literature that have quantitative counting functions. For example, Chinese utility model patent CN202020603582.3 discloses a medicine packaging bottle with a counting device. However, its counting device is a measuring cylinder, which may not be able to accurately measure the amount of medicine for micro-pills.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field for a novel micro-drug dispensing device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a miniature drug dispensing device to solve the problems existing in the prior art and to achieve accurate quantitative drug dispensing.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following solution:
[0007] This utility model discloses a miniature drug dispensing device, including a dispensing plate and a dispensing block. The dispensing block has a sliding groove, and the dispensing plate is slidably connected in the sliding groove. The first end of the dispensing plate has a plurality of first drug holes.
[0008] Preferably, the quantitative plate has a rectangular structure, a semi-cylindrical structure, or a cylindrical structure.
[0009] Preferably, the cross-sectional shape of the sliding groove is rectangular, semi-circular, or circular.
[0010] Preferably, the quantitative stop is a rectangular structure, a semi-cylindrical structure, or a cylindrical structure.
[0011] Preferably, both the metering plate and the metering stop are made of polyethylene.
[0012] Preferably, there are five first medicine holes, and each of the first medicine holes is distributed at intervals along a straight line.
[0013] Preferably, the second end of the metering plate is provided with a handle.
[0014] Preferably, the second end of the metering plate is provided with a plurality of second drug holes.
[0015] Preferably, the second orifice has ten holes.
[0016] Preferably, both the first and second orifices are round holes, and the diameters of the first and second orifices are less than or equal to 5.5 mm.
[0017] The present invention achieves the following technical advantages over the prior art:
[0018] This invention allows for the exposure of either the first or second dispensing hole by partially blocking it with a metering stop, thus enabling the dispensing of a measured quantity of medicine. Furthermore, its simple overall structure results in low manufacturing costs, and its ease of use makes it convenient for the elderly and children.
[0019] In addition, using a quantitative plate for dispensing medication avoids patients pouring out several pills to take, and avoids the situation where too many micro-tablets / pills are poured out, which would need to be poured back into the medicine bottle. Therefore, it effectively avoids micro-tablet contamination and affects the quality of the medicine. At the same time, using a quantitative plate for dispensing medication avoids direct skin contact with the medicine, preventing skin contact toxicity. It is especially suitable for quantitative dispensing of drugs with skin toxicity. Attached Figure Description

[0027] 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.
[0028] The purpose of this invention is to provide a miniature drug dispensing device to solve the problems existing in the prior art and to achieve accurate quantitative drug dispensing.
[0029] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0030] Example 1
[0031] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides a miniature drug dispensing device, including a dispensing plate 1 and a dispensing block 2. The length of the dispensing block 2 is less than the length of the dispensing plate 1. The dispensing block 2 has a through sliding groove. The dispensing plate 1 can be slidably connected in the sliding groove. The first end of the dispensing plate 1 has a plurality of first drug holes 101. The shape and size of the first drug holes 101 should match the drug to be extracted.
[0032] In practical use, first open the cap of the medicine bottle 3, and adjust the relative position of the metering block 2 on the metering plate 1 so that the number of exposed first medicine holes 101 is the same as the amount of medicine to be extracted. Insert the end of the metering plate 1 with the adjusted number of first medicine holes 101 into the medicine bottle 3, and then tilt or lay the medicine bottle 3 horizontally so that each first medicine hole 101 not covered by the metering block 2 contains one medicine. Then remove the metering plate 1. At this time, the medicine that did not fall into the first medicine hole 101 will return to the medicine bottle 3 due to its own weight. Finally, the number of medicines remaining on the metering plate 1 is the same as the number of first medicine holes 101, thus achieving the technical effect of quantitative medicine extraction.
[0033] In this embodiment, the metering plate 1 is a long rectangular structure, a semi-cylindrical structure, or a cylindrical structure. The semi-cylindrical structure is a cylindrical structure that is divided into two along its diameter. If it is a semi-cylindrical structure, the first drug hole 101 is set on the cut rectangular surface. If it is a rectangular structure, the first drug hole 101 can be set on a plane with a larger area. If it is a cylindrical structure, the first drug hole 101 needs to be set on its curved surface.
[0034] In this embodiment, the shape of the sliding channel should match the shape of the metering plate 1. Therefore, the cross-sectional shape of the sliding channel is rectangular, semi-circular, or circular. Specifically, if the metering plate 1 is a rectangular structure, the cross-sectional shape of the sliding channel should be rectangular; if the metering plate 1 is a semi-cylindrical structure, the cross-sectional shape of the sliding channel should be semi-circular; if the metering plate 1 is a cylindrical structure, the cross-sectional shape of the sliding channel should be circular.
[0035] Furthermore, the cross-sectional dimensions of the sliding groove must be the same as those of the metering plate 1 to ensure that the metering plate 1 and the sliding groove are always in contact, thereby ensuring a large frictional force between them and preventing the metering block 2 from detaching from the metering plate 1 without any external force.
[0036] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional dimension of the metering block 2 is larger than the cross-sectional dimension of the sliding groove. The metering block 2 can be any one of a rectangular structure, a semi-cylindrical structure, or a cylindrical structure.
[0037] In this embodiment, the metering plate 1 and the metering block 2 are made of the same material, including but not limited to existing polyethylene material. Polyethylene material is inexpensive, thereby reducing manufacturing costs.
[0038] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, there are five first gun holes 101, which are distributed at intervals along a straight line. Of course, those skilled in the art can adjust the specific number and positional distribution of the first gun holes 101 according to actual needs.
[0039] In this embodiment, the second end of the metering plate 1 is provided with a handle 103, which makes it convenient for staff to grip during actual use.
[0040] Example 2
[0041] like Figures 4-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a miniature drug dispensing device, which includes all the technical features disclosed in Embodiment 1, with the difference being:
[0042] In this embodiment, the second end of the metering plate 1 is provided with a plurality of second drug holes 102, and the number of second drug holes 102 is greater than the number of first drug holes 101, so as to meet different quantitative drug dispensing needs and enhance its applicability.
[0043] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, there are ten second medicine holes 102, which are arranged in two rows with five holes spaced apart in each row.
[0044] In this embodiment, both the first drug hole 101 and the second drug hole 102 are circular holes, and the diameters of the first drug hole 101 and the second drug hole 102 are less than or equal to 5.5 mm. Their specific dimensions can be adjusted adaptively according to different drugs. For example, if it is necessary to extract micro-tablets (generally with a diameter of about 3 mm), the diameter can be set to 3 mm, and the circular hole structure is cylindrical; if it is necessary to extract micro-pellets (generally spherical entities with a diameter of 2.5 mm), the diameter can be set to 2.5 mm, and the circular hole structure is hemispherical.
[0045] This utility model uses specific examples to illustrate its principles and implementation methods. The above description of the embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of this utility model. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the idea of this utility model. In summary, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
