Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of drug storage equipment, specifically a light-proof drug storage box. Background Technology

[0002] Since the medications on the shelves in the sterile dispensing room are all individually packaged and sterilized, and most are in vials and ampoules, the proper storage of light-protected medications is a long-term issue requiring improvement, based on our experience. In daily work, if light-protected medications are stored with light-protected caps, the staff frequently have to open and close the caps while retrieving medications, making it extremely inconvenient. Furthermore, incomplete capping often occurs, affecting medication storage. Additionally, because the caps obstruct the view, the bottles at the bottom of the containers are difficult for staff to observe and access, potentially leading to medication accumulation inside until they expire, resulting in waste. This needs to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a light-shielding medicine storage box.

[0004] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A light-shielding medicine storage box includes a storage compartment, a light-shielding cover, a flip-top door, and a pushing mechanism. The storage compartment has a cavity for storing medicine, and a relief groove is formed on one side of the storage compartment to connect the cavity with the outside. The light-shielding cover is disposed on the storage compartment to seal it. The flip-top door is rotatably disposed on the relief groove and includes a blocking part that can rotate to block and seal the relief groove, an extension part that is vertically connected to both ends of the blocking part and extends into the cavity, and a pivot shaft disposed at the bottom of the extension part and rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cavity. When the flip-top door can be flipped outward from a retracted state that completely seals the relief groove to an open state, a medicine dispensing port is formed between the light-shielding cover, the blocking part, and the extension part. The pushing mechanism includes a push plate and a driving member. The push plate is disposed in the cavity and moves back and forth. The driving member is connected to the push plate and has a tendency to always move towards the medicine dispensing port.

[0006] Preferably, it also includes a limiting mechanism, which includes a limiting baffle and a limiting post. The limiting baffle extends obliquely upward from the bottom of the clearance groove, and the blocking part contacts the limiting baffle when the flip door is in the open state. The limiting post is disposed on both sides of the receiving cavity, and the extension part contacts the limiting post when the flip door is in the retracted state.

[0007] Preferably, it also includes a limiting knob, which is rotatably disposed on both sides of the relief groove. The limiting knob is elongated and extends laterally into the relief groove to restrict the tilting compartment door from tilting outward.

[0008] Preferably, the driving component includes a first guide rail, a first slide groove, a pull ring, and a spring. The first guide rail is disposed at the bottom of the receiving cavity and extends toward the dispensing port. The first slide groove is formed on the bottom of the push plate and is adapted to the first guide rail. The pull ring is formed on the push plate and corresponds one-to-one with the limiting post. The spring is connected between the pull ring and the limiting post to drive the push plate to have a tendency to move toward the dispensing port.

[0009] Preferably, the drive component further includes a second guide rail and a second slide groove, the second guide rail being formed at the bottom of the sealing cover; the second slide groove being formed at the top of the push plate and corresponding one-to-one with the second guide rail.

[0010] Preferably, the top surface of the storage compartment extends outward to form an outer edge, and the sealing cover has a cover that can be fitted onto the outside of the outer edge. Both the outer edge and the cover have notches formed at the clearance groove to facilitate the flipping of the flipping compartment door.

[0011] Preferably, the area of ​​the push plate is the same as the cross-sectional area of ​​the receiving cavity, and the cross-section of the first guide rail is dovetail-shaped.

[0012] Preferably, the tilting door is also provided with a handle for driving the tilting door to rotate.

[0013] As can be seen from the above description of the present invention, compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: by flipping the compartment door to take out the medicine from the medicine dispensing port, the contact between the medicine and the external light source is reduced, there is no need to frequently open the light shield, the amount of medicine is reduced after taking out the medicine, and the push plate can push the medicine to move in the direction close to the medicine dispensing port under the drive of the drive component, ensuring that there is always enough medicine at the medicine dispensing port for easy taking out, making it easy to take out all the medicine and avoid the accumulation of medicine, while also allowing timely observation of the remaining medicine for timely replenishment;

[0014] Limiting baffles and limiting posts can restrict the rotation range of the tilting compartment door, preventing excessive rotation of the tilting compartment door from causing medicine to spill out;

[0015] The limit knob can restrict the rotation of the tilting compartment door when it is in the retracted state, preventing the tilting compartment door from automatically tilting due to the push plate pushing the medicine, thus exposing the medicine to external light.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The present invention will be further described below through specific embodiments.

[0024] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a light-shielding medicine storage box includes a storage compartment 1, a light-shielding cover 2, a flip-up door 3, a limiting mechanism 4, and a pushing mechanism 5.

[0025] The storage chamber 1 has a cavity 11 for storing medicines, and a relief groove 12 is formed on one side of the storage chamber 1 to connect the cavity 11 with the outside.

[0026] A light-shielding cover 2 is installed on the storage compartment 1 to seal the receiving cavity 11.

[0027] The flip-top door 3 is rotatably mounted on the recess 12 and includes a blocking part 31 that can rotate to block and seal the recess 12, an extension part 32 vertically connected to both ends of the blocking part 31 and extending into the receiving cavity 11, and a rotating shaft 33 located at the bottom of the extension part 32 and rotatably connected to the inner wall of the receiving cavity 11. When the flip-top door 3 can be flipped outward from the retracted state of completely sealing the recess 12 to the open state, a medicine dispensing port 34 for dispensing medicine is formed between the light-shielding cover 2, the blocking part 31, and the extension part 32. Specifically, the top surface of the storage compartment 1 extends outward to form an outer edge 13, and a cover 21 is formed on the sealing cover that can be fitted onto the outside of the outer edge 13. Both the outer edge 13 and the cover 21 have notches formed at the recess 12 to facilitate the flip-top door 3 flipping. Specifically, the flip-top door 3 is also provided with a handle 35 for driving the flip-top door 3 to rotate.

[0028] The limiting mechanism 4 includes a limiting baffle 41, a limiting post 42, and a limiting knob 43. The limiting baffle 41 extends upward at an angle from the bottom of the clearance groove 12. When the flip door 3 is in the open state, the blocking part 31 contacts the limiting baffle 41. The limiting post 42 is disposed on both sides of the receiving cavity 11. When the flip door 3 is in the retracted state, the extension part 32 contacts the limiting post 42. The limiting knob 43 is rotatably disposed on both sides of the clearance groove 12. The limiting knob 43 is long and narrow. The horizontally placed limiting knob 43 extends laterally into the clearance groove 12 to restrict the flip door 3 from flipping outward.

[0029] The pushing mechanism 5 includes a push plate 51 and a driving member 52. The push plate 51 is reciprocatingly disposed in the receiving cavity 11, and its shape is the same as the cross-sectional area of ​​the receiving cavity 11. The driving member 52 is connected to the push plate 51 and has a tendency to always move towards the dispensing port 34. The driving member 52 includes a first guide rail 521, a first slide groove 522, a pull ring 523, and a spring 524. The first guide rail 521 is disposed at the bottom of the receiving cavity 11 and extends towards the dispensing port 34. The first slide groove 522 is formed at the bottom of the push plate 51 and is adapted to the first guide rail 521. The pull ring 523 is formed on the push plate 51 and corresponds one-to-one with the limiting post 42. The spring 524 is connected between the pull ring 523 and the limiting post 42, driving the push plate 51 to have a tendency to move towards the dispensing port 34. The first guide rail 521 and the first slide groove 522 are dovetail-shaped, which can improve the stability of the push plate 51 moving in the receiving cavity 11. Specifically, the drive component 52 also includes a second guide rail 525 and a second slide groove 526. The second guide rail 525 is formed on the bottom of the sealing cover; the second slide groove 526 is formed on the top of the push plate 51 and corresponds one-to-one with the second guide rail 525, further improving the stability of the push plate 51 movement.

[0030] When retrieving medication, first rotate the limit knob 43 to the vertical position. The drive handle 35 will then rotate the tilting door 3 to the open position, exposing the dispensing port 34. The dispensing personnel can then retrieve the required medication through the dispensing port 34. As the amount of medication decreases, the push plate 51, under the action of the spring 524, pushes the medication outward, ensuring that there is always medication available at the dispensing port 34. After the medication is retrieved, push the tilting door 3 to tilt inward to the retracted position. The push plate 51 will move backward under the pressure of the medication. Rotate the limit knob 43 to the horizontal position to restrict the rotation of the tilting door 3. After the flip door 3 is flipped, the medicine can be taken out through the medicine dispensing port 34, reducing the contact between the medicine and the external light source. There is no need to frequently open the light shield 2. After taking out the medicine, the amount of medicine is reduced. The push plate 51 can be driven by the drive component 52 to push the medicine to move in the direction close to the medicine dispensing port 34, ensuring that there is always enough medicine at the medicine dispensing port 34 for easy access. It is convenient to take out all the medicine and avoid the accumulation of medicine. At the same time, it is possible to observe the remaining medicine in time for timely replenishment, which has high practicality.

[0031] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. All equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the patent application and the contents of the specification of the present invention should still fall within the scope of the patent of the present invention.
