Two sets of medication delivery blocks 504 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the side wall of the slider 503. The two sets of medication delivery blocks 504 are slidably disposed in the second sliding grooves 1081. The motor 505 can drive the medication delivery blocks 504 to move up and down along the second sliding grooves 1081 to cooperate in medication delivery.

[0040] The medication delivery unit 500 also includes two sets of second cylinders 700 symmetrically slidably disposed on the inner sidewall of the bottle body 100. Each second cylinder 700 has a medication delivery groove 703 inside for receiving the tablets to be delivered. The sidewall of each second cylinder 700 has a third sliding groove 701. One end of a medication delivery block 504 passes through the third sliding groove 701 and is slidably disposed within the medication delivery groove 703. The medication delivery block 504 can slide up and down along the medication delivery groove 703. When the medication delivery block 504 slides upward, it is used to deliver medication; when the medication delivery block 504 slides downward, it is used to cooperate with... The tablets in the medicine storage chamber 104 are replenished into the medicine delivery slot 703. The bottle body 100 is made of transparent material to facilitate observation of the replenishment process in the medicine delivery slot 703. One end of the second cylinder 700 is provided with a fourth sliding groove 702. A first isolation block 704 is slidably arranged in the fourth sliding groove 702. When the medicine delivery block 504 delivers medicine, the medicine delivery block 504 pushes the first isolation block 704 upward and blocks the opening on one side of the arc-shaped block 107 to prevent the delivered tablets from falling on the arc-shaped block 107, thereby affecting the realization of the medicine delivery function.

The circuit board 300 and the indicator unit 400 are both installed in the electrical component chamber 106.

[0042] Two sets of third isolation blocks 109 are symmetrically fixedly connected between the second cylinder 700 and the first cylinder 108. The cavity between the upper end face of the bottle 100 and the second isolation block 105 is a medicine storage chamber 104, which is used to hold tablets and to replenish tablets into the medicine delivery slot 703. The medicine storage chamber 104 is separated by the second cylinder 700, the third isolation block 109 and the first cylinder 108. Two sets of arc-shaped blocks 107 are symmetrically fixedly connected to one end of the second cylinder 700. The arc-shaped blocks 107 and the upper end cap of the bottle 100 form a replenishment chamber. By tilting and shaking the bottle 100 upside down, the tablets in the medicine storage chamber 104 fall onto the arc-shaped blocks 107 and slide from one end of the arc-shaped blocks 107 into the medicine delivery slot 703. The upper end cap of the bottle 100 is symmetrically provided with two sets of medicine dispensing slots 600.

[0043] The tablets in this design are dispensed in doses of two tablets. The dosage can be adjusted according to the patient's condition by designing a corresponding smart medicine bottle. The design principle is the same, and the delivery unit 500 can be designed as a modular sliding unit inside the bottle 100. The delivery unit 500 can be replaced with the corresponding dosage according to the different patients' medication needs.

[0044] In use, when the time for taking the medication arrives, the prompting unit 400 will prompt the patient to take the medication through the pre-set program on the circuit board 300. After receiving the prompt, the patient can take out the smart medicine bottle and then manually move the dispensing block 200 away from the dispensing slot 600. The program controls the motor 505 to rotate, and the motor 505 drives the delivery block 504 to push the tablet in the delivery slot 703 upward to the dispensing slot 600. At this time, the patient can manually release the dispensing block 200, which will automatically reset under the action of the second torsion spring and push the tablet in the dispensing slot 600 into the dispensing chamber 103. At this time, the dispensing block 200 will restore the isolation between the dispensing slot 600 and the dispensing chamber 103. The patient only needs to open the bottle cap 101 to take the medication.
