Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical equipment technology, specifically a medicine dispenser. Background Technology

[0002] A pill dispenser is a practical medical aid tool used to divide pills into smaller pieces so that patients can adjust the dosage according to their doctor's orders or their own needs.

[0003] A Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN221160472U discloses a medicine dispenser, including a tray. A base is fixedly connected to the top surface of the tray. A figure-eight shaped fixing plate is fixedly connected to the top surface of the base. A pushing component is fixedly connected to the top surface of the base. Two sets of stops are fixedly connected to one end of the pushing component. A transparent cup is inserted into the top surface of the base. A support rod is slidably connected to the top surface of the transparent cup. A telescopic component is fixedly connected to the surface of the support rod. This medicine dispenser, through the arrangement of the pushing component and the transparent cup, allows for the fixing of pills. Depending on the size of the pill, rotating the threaded push rod causes it to rotate and extend within the support block, thereby driving the fork rod to push inward. The stops push the pill against the figure-eight shaped fixing plate, thus achieving the effect of fixing the pill.

[0004] However, when the above-mentioned technical solutions use blocks and fixing plates to fix the tablets to the base, the center point of the tablet can only be fixed to the center point of the base when the tablet size is appropriate. When the tablet size is not appropriate, the center point of the tablet will deviate from the center point of the base, resulting in uneven division when the tablet is cut into multiple equal parts, affecting the dosage of the cut tablets, which may lead to poor effect after the patient takes the medicine. To this end, we have proposed a medicine dispenser to effectively solve the above-mentioned drawbacks. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a medicine dispenser to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a medicine dispenser, including a base, a cover on the base, a pressing and cutting mechanism vertically movably mounted on the cover, the base and the cover being threadedly connected, a cross-shaped cutting groove being formed on the upper surface of the base, the cutting groove being used for inserting the blade at the bottom end of the pressing and cutting mechanism, and at least three sets of centrally clamping components arranged circumferentially on the upper surface of the base, the centrally clamping components being used to clamp the tablet and align the center point of the tablet with the center point of the base.

[0007] Optionally, each of the central clamping components includes a clamping plate, the end of which is rotatably connected to the chassis away from the center, and the end of each clamping plate away from the rotating end is subjected to a force toward the center of the chassis.

[0008] Optionally, the clamping plate is rotatably connected to the chassis via a fixing rod, and a torsion spring is sleeved on the outer side of the fixing rod along the height direction of the fixing rod. The upper and lower ends of the torsion spring are respectively fixedly connected to the clamping plate and the outer wall of the fixing rod.

[0009] Optionally, the upper surface of the chassis is fixedly provided with a limiting plate corresponding to each of the plurality of central clamping components. When the clamping plate abuts against the corresponding limiting plate, the free end of the clamping plate points to the center point of the chassis.

[0010] Optionally, each of the central clamping components includes a fixed plate fixedly connected to the chassis. The fixed plate is located away from the center point of the chassis. A spring is fixedly provided on the side of the fixed plate facing the center point of the chassis. A clamping block is fixedly provided on the end of the spring away from the fixed plate. In its natural state, the spring is in a compressed state.

[0011] Optionally, the side of the clamping block facing the center point of the chassis is arc-shaped, the upper surface of the clamping block is a downward inclined slope structure, and a groove corresponding to the cutting groove is formed on the upper surface of the clamping block.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a medicine dispenser with the following advantages:

[0013] This invention features several sets of centrally located clamping components that move towards the center of the chassis. When a user places a tablet on the chassis, the tablet is pushed towards the center by these components until the center of the tablet is aligned with the center of the chassis, thus securing it in place. This allows for more uniform division of the tablet when cutting it into multiple equal parts, improving the accuracy of medication dispensing and ensuring the effectiveness and safety of medication use.

[0020] 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.

[0021] Example 1

[0022] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 3 A dispensing device includes a base 1, a cover 2 on the base 1, and a vertically movable pressing and cutting mechanism 201 on the cover 2. The base 1 and the cover 2 are threaded together to facilitate easier and faster connection and disassembly. The upper surface of the base 1 has a star-shaped cutting groove 101 for inserting a blade from the bottom of the pressing and cutting mechanism 201. This ensures that when the blade cuts the tablet downwards, it ultimately enters the cutting groove 101, guaranteeing complete severance of the tablet.

[0023] At least three sets of centrally clamping components 3 are arranged circumferentially on the upper surface of the chassis 1 to improve the stability of clamping. The centrally clamping components 3 are used to clamp the tablet and align the center point of the tablet with the center point of the chassis 1, so that regardless of the size of the tablet, the tablet can be clamped and fixed by the centrally clamping components 3 at the position directly opposite the center point of the chassis 1, thereby enabling the user to accurately cut the tablet into equal parts.

[0024] Furthermore, each set of centrally clamping components 3 includes a clamping plate 301. The end of the clamping plate 301 away from the center of the chassis 1 is rotatably connected to the chassis 1, and the end of each clamping plate 301 away from the rotating end is subjected to a force toward the center of the chassis 1, so that when the user places the tablet on the chassis 1, the movable ends of several clamping plates 301 will push the tablet toward the center of the chassis 1 until several clamping plates 301 clamp and fix the tablet in the center of the chassis 1, thus completing the positioning of the tablet.

[0025] In order to fix the tablets in place by the clamping plate 301, in this application, the clamping plate 301 is rotatably connected to the chassis 1 by the fixing rod 302. A torsion spring 303 is sleeved on the outer side of the fixing rod 302 along the height direction of the fixing rod 302. The upper and lower ends of the torsion spring 303 are fixedly connected to the clamping plate 301 and the outer wall of the fixing rod 302, respectively, so that the clamping plate 301 can be subjected to the torque of the torsion spring 303, thereby pressing it toward the center of the chassis 1, thereby fixing the tablets and preventing them from shifting position.

[0026] In this embodiment, a limiting plate 4 corresponding to a plurality of centrally clamping components 3 is fixedly provided on the upper surface of the chassis 1. When the clamping plate 301 abuts against the corresponding limiting plate 4, the free end of the clamping plate 301 points to the center point of the chassis 1, so that in the natural state, the clamping plate 301 can only deviate at the angle of contact with the limiting plate 4, avoiding the clamping plate 301 deviating too much at the angle, which would cause collisions between the clamping plates 301 and affect the use of the device.

[0027] Example 2

[0028] Please see Figure 4 - Figure 5 A medicine dispenser, each set of centrally clamping components 3 includes a fixed plate 304 fixedly connected to a chassis 1. The fixed plate 304 is located away from the center point of the chassis 1. A spring 305 is fixedly provided on the side of the fixed plate 304 facing the center point of the chassis 1. A clamping block 306 is fixedly provided on the end of the spring 305 away from the fixed plate 304. In its natural state, the spring 305 is in a compressed state, so that when the user places the tablet on the chassis 1, several clamping blocks 306 will be pushed by the spring 305 towards the center point of the chassis 1, causing the clamping blocks 306 to move towards the center of the chassis 1, thereby pushing the tablet to move towards the center position of the chassis 1, and finally aligning the center point of the tablet with the center point of the chassis 1.

[0029] In this embodiment, the side of the clamping block 306 facing the center point of the chassis 1 is arc-shaped, so that the clamping block 306 can fit more closely to the side of the tablet when clamping, improving stability. The upper surface of the clamping block 306 has a downward sloping structure, so that when the user places the tablet downward, the tablet will press the clamping block 306 towards the fixing plate 304, thereby unfolding the clamping block 306 for easy tablet placement. The upper surface of the clamping block 306 has a groove 307 corresponding to the cutting groove 101, so that when the pressing and cutting mechanism 201 cuts the tablet, the blade can enter the groove 307 to cut the tablet.

[0030] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, when cutting the tablet, unscrew the cover 2 from the base plate 1. Then, replace the blade at the bottom of the pressing and cutting mechanism 201 as needed. Place the tablet near the center of the base plate 1. At this time, the clamping plate 301 or clamping block 306 will be subjected to a force towards the center of the base plate 1, thereby pushing the tablet towards the center of the base plate 1. Finally, the tablet and the center point of the base plate 1 are aligned, completing the centering of the tablet. Then, screw the cover 2 back onto the base plate 1 and press the pressing and cutting mechanism 201 from top to bottom, so that the blade at the bottom of the pressing and cutting mechanism 201 moves towards the tablet, thereby cutting the tablet and achieving equal cutting of the tablet.
