Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a medicine dispensing spoon. Background Technology

[0002] When dispensing medications to inpatients in various departments, pharmacy staff frequently use a scoop, which typically consists of a head and a handle. Sometimes, the scoop needs to be inserted into the medicine bottle. Different bottles have different opening sizes. When the bottle opening is small, a scoop with a slightly larger head may not fit, requiring a smaller-headed scoop. Conversely, when the bottle opening is large, while a smaller-headed scoop may fit, it may be necessary to repeat the dispensing process multiple times when a large quantity of medication is required. In this case, a larger-headed scoop should be used. Therefore, medical staff not only need to prepare scoops of different sizes before dispensing medication but also need to repeatedly switch between them during the dispensing process. Since the scoops are separate, constantly moving them up and down during this process is inconvenient and can reduce work efficiency.

[0003] To address the aforementioned potential problems, this invention combines two different sizes of medicine-dispensing spoons into one, eliminating the need to pick up and remove the spoon when dispensing medicine, thus improving work convenience. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a medicine dispensing spoon that combines two different sizes of medicine dispensing spoons into one, so that when dispensing medicine, there is no need to pick up and put down the medicine dispensing spoon, thus improving the convenience of medical staff.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A medicine-dispensing spoon includes a large medicine spoon and a small medicine spoon. The large medicine spoon includes a first spoon head and a first spoon handle, and the small medicine spoon includes a second spoon head and a second spoon handle. The distinguishing feature is that the medicine-dispensing spoon also includes a handle. The front end face of the handle has a first receiving groove and a second receiving groove from top to bottom. The first receiving groove is used to hold the first spoon head, and the second receiving groove is used to hold the second spoon head. The upper surface of the handle has a first straight groove communicating with the first receiving groove. The first straight groove is used to hold the first spoon handle, and the first spoon handle can move linearly along the first straight groove to push or pull the first spoon head into the first receiving groove. The lower surface of the handle has a second straight groove communicating with the second receiving groove. The second straight groove is used to hold the second spoon handle, and the second spoon handle can move linearly along the second straight groove to push or pull the second spoon head into the second receiving groove.

[0007] Furthermore, the first straight groove has a first sliding groove on both sides of its side walls, and the first spoon handle has a first slider embedded in the first sliding groove on both sides of its side walls; the second straight groove has a second sliding groove on both sides of its side walls, and the second spoon handle has a second slider embedded in the second sliding groove on both sides of its side walls.

[0008] Furthermore, the end of the first spoon handle is provided with a first push block extending out of the first straight groove; the end of the second spoon handle is provided with a second push block extending out of the second straight groove.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0010] The medicine spoon provided by this utility model brings together medicine spoons of different sizes. When a large medicine spoon is needed, the first spoon head is pushed out from the first receiving groove along the first straight groove for use. When not in use, the first spoon head is pulled back into the first receiving groove. When a small medicine spoon is needed, the second spoon head is pushed out from the second receiving groove along the second straight groove for use. When not in use, the second spoon head is pulled back into the second receiving groove. In this way, when alternating between large and small medicine spoons, there is no need to pick up and put down the two spoons, which improves the convenience and efficiency of medical staff.

[0017] The present invention will now be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention. Various modifications and improvements to the technical solutions of the present invention made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0018] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the medicine spoon in this embodiment includes a large medicine spoon 1, a small medicine spoon 2, and a handle 3.

[0019] The large medicine spoon 1 includes a first spoon head 11 and a first spoon handle 12, and the small medicine spoon 2 includes a second spoon head 21 and a second spoon handle 22. In this embodiment, both the first spoon handle 12 and the second spoon handle 22 are elongated.

[0020] In this embodiment, the handle 3 has a columnar structure, and its front end face is provided with a first receiving groove 31 and a second receiving groove 32 from top to bottom. The first receiving groove 31 is used to place the first spoon head 11, and the second receiving groove 32 is used to place the second spoon head 21.

[0021] The upper surface of the handle 3 is provided with a first straight groove 33 that communicates with the first receiving groove 31. One end of the first straight groove 33 extends beyond the front end face of the handle 3, while the other end does not extend beyond the rear end face of the handle 3. The first straight groove 33 is used to place the first spoon handle 12. The first spoon handle 12 can move linearly along the first straight groove 33 and push out or pull the first spoon head 11 into the first receiving groove 31.

[0022] The lower surface of the handle 3 is provided with a second straight groove 34 that communicates with the second receiving groove 32. One end of the second straight groove 34 extends beyond the front end face of the handle 3, while the other end does not extend beyond the rear end face of the handle 3. The second straight groove 34 is used to place the second spoon handle 22. The second spoon handle 22 can move linearly along the second straight groove 34 to push out or pull the second spoon head 21 into the second receiving groove 32.

[0023] Furthermore, the first straight groove 33 has first sliding grooves 331 on both sides, and the first spoon handle 12 has first sliders 121 embedded in the first sliding grooves 331 on both sides. The second straight groove 34 has second sliding grooves 341 on both sides, and the second spoon handle 22 has second sliders 221 embedded in the second sliding grooves 341 on both sides. Neither end of the first sliding groove 331 nor the second sliding groove 341 protrudes beyond the ends of the handle 3, thus preventing the large medicine spoon 1 and the small medicine spoon 2 from detaching from the handle 3 during sliding. After the sliders are embedded in the sliding grooves, there is a certain amount of friction between the sliders and the sliding grooves; it is not smooth, and a little force is required to move the spoon handle.

[0024] To facilitate pushing the first spoon handle 12 and the second spoon handle 22, a first push block 122 extending out of the first straight groove 33 is provided at the end of the first spoon handle 12, and a second push block 222 extending out of the second straight groove 34 is provided at the end of the second spoon handle 22.

[0025] Finally, a cover 4 is provided on the front end of the handle 3. The cover 4 can provide protection, reduce contamination of the large medicine spoon 1 and the small medicine spoon 2, and also prevent the first spoon head 11 and the second spoon head 21 from easily sliding out of the first receiving groove 31 and the second receiving groove 32 under external force. A hanging ring 5 is provided on the rear end of the handle 3 for easy carrying.

[0026] In this embodiment, medicine spoons of different sizes are gathered together. When the large medicine spoon 1 is needed, the first push block 122 is pushed along the first straight groove 33 to push the first spoon head 11 out of the first receiving groove 31 for use. When not in use, the first push block 122 is pulled in the opposite direction to pull the first spoon head 11 into the first receiving groove 31. When the small medicine spoon 2 is needed, the second push block 222 is pushed along the second straight groove 34 to push the second spoon head 21 out of the second receiving groove 32 for use. When not in use, the second push block 222 is pushed in the opposite direction to pull the second spoon head 21 into the second receiving groove 32. When using the large and small medicine spoons, the push block can be held with the thumb. When alternating between large medicine spoon 1 and small medicine spoon 2, one medicine spoon is returned to its receiving slot, and the handle 3 is flipped over to push the other medicine spoon out of its receiving slot. This completes the alternation between medicine spoons. In this way, when alternating between large medicine spoon 1 and small medicine spoon 2, it is not necessary to pick up and put down large medicine spoon 1 and small medicine spoon 2, which improves the convenience and efficiency of medical staff.
