Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pharmaceutical cutting devices, specifically a pharmaceutical tablet cutting device for pharmacies. Background Technology
[0002] A hospital pharmacy is a comprehensive department integrating management, technology, operations, and services. The pharmacy must not only ensure that patients receive accurate and qualified medications, but also guarantee their safe and effective use, ensuring more economical and reasonable medical expenses. Pills are primarily round in shape. Different dosages are required for patients of different ages, necessitating pharmacists to cut the round pills into two or four equal parts.
[0003] Currently, pharmacists need to use a knife to cut the tablets when dispensing medication. Since the tablets are not fixed in place, they need to hold them with their fingers while cutting, which can easily lead to cuts and is not safe. The uniformity of the cuts is also poor, and multiple tablets cannot be cut at once, resulting in low efficiency. Therefore, we have introduced a tablet cutting device for pharmacies. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a tablet cutting device for pharmacies, which can cut multiple tablets simultaneously with high cutting efficiency, and is less likely to cut the fingers of staff, thus improving safety and the uniformity of tablet cutting, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A tablet cutting device for pharmacies includes a base, an upper cover at the upper end of the base, and a pin connecting one side of the base and the upper cover. A mounting seat is fixedly provided at the middle of the upper end of the upper cover, and a cutter is fixedly provided on the mounting seat by a positioning mechanism. A cutting groove cooperating with the cutter is provided at the center of the top of the base, and multiple sets of limiting protrusions are provided on both sides of the cutting groove at the top of the base. All the limiting protrusions are arc-shaped.
[0007] Furthermore, the positioning mechanism includes two positioning blocks, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the cutter and are fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper cover. Both ends of the side wall of the positioning block are provided with threaded holes, and fastening bolts are threaded into the threaded holes. The side wall of the cutter is provided with positioning holes that cooperate with the fastening bolts.
[0008] Furthermore, anti-slip pads are fixed at the four corners of the bottom of the base, and the anti-slip pads are wear-resistant rubber pads.
[0009] Furthermore, both sides of the upper cover are provided with lifting grooves.
[0010] Furthermore, the top of the base is set as an inclined plane, and the angle of elevation of the inclined plane is set to 30°.
[0011] Furthermore, a protective frame is fixedly provided at the upper edge of the base.
[0012] Furthermore, a magnet is fixedly provided at the bottom of the upper cover, and a metal block is fixedly provided at the top of the base at a position corresponding to the magnet.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] This pharmacy tablet cutting device consists of a top cover, a lifting groove, a pin, a base, an anti-slip pad, a protective frame, a cutter, a magnet, a positioning block, fastening bolts, a metal block, limiting protrusions, and a cutting groove. The base is placed flat on a table, and multiple tablets are placed on the upper side of the intersection of multiple sets of limiting protrusions and the cutting groove, with the cutting groove positioned in the center of the tablet. The top cover is then rotated by lifting the groove, causing it to rotate around the pin. Simultaneously, the top cover drives the cutter to cut the tablets sequentially. The powder generated during cutting is blocked by the protective frame. The magnet and metal block allow the top cover and base to be easily connected when not in use, preventing the top cover from opening on its own. This device can cut multiple tablets simultaneously, has high cutting efficiency, and is less likely to cut the operator's fingers, improving safety and the uniformity of tablet cutting.

[0019] 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.
[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0021] A pharmacy tablet cutting device includes a base 4, with a top cover 1 at the upper end of the base 4. The base 4 and the top cover 1 are rotatably connected on one side by a pin 3. A mounting seat is fixedly provided at the middle of the upper end of the top cover 1. A cutter 7 is fixedly provided on the mounting seat by a positioning mechanism. A cutting groove 13 that cooperates with the cutter 7 is provided at the center of the top of the base 4. Multiple sets of limiting protrusions 12 are provided on both sides of the cutting groove 13 at the top of the base 4. The limiting protrusions 12 are all arc-shaped. Since most tablets are round or elliptical, the arc-shaped limiting protrusions 12 can improve the fit between the tablets and the tablets. Anti-slip pads 5 are fixedly provided at the four corners of the bottom of the base 4. The anti-slip pads 5 are wear-resistant rubber pads. The anti-slip pads 5 can improve the friction of the bottom of the base 4 during use. The wear-resistant rubber pads are not easily worn and have a long service life. Lifting grooves 2 are provided on both side walls of the top cover 1, which facilitate the user to pull the top cover 1.
[0022] The positioning mechanism includes two positioning blocks 9, which are respectively set on both sides of the cutter 7. The positioning blocks 9 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper cover 1. Both ends of the side wall of the positioning block 9 are provided with threaded holes, and fastening bolts 10 are threadedly connected in the threaded holes. The side wall of the cutter 7 is provided with positioning holes that cooperate with the fastening bolts 10. The positioning mechanism facilitates the installation and replacement of the cutter 7.
[0023] The top of the base 4 is set as an inclined plane with an elevation angle of 30°. The inclined plane allows the tablet to abut against the limiting protrusion 12 under the action of gravity, thereby limiting the tablet. A protective frame 6 is fixedly provided at the upper edge of the base 4. The protective frame 6 can prevent the slit tablets and the powder generated by slitting from sliding off the inclined plane to the outside of the base 4, making it easy to collect the slit tablets and the powder generated by slitting.
[0024] A magnet 8 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the top cover 1, and a metal block 11 is fixedly provided at the top of the base 4 at the position corresponding to the magnet 8. The magnet 8 and the metal block 11 can be used to connect the top cover 1 and the base 4 when not in use, preventing the top cover 1 from opening by itself.
[0025] In use, place the base 4 flat on the table, place multiple tablets on the upper side of the intersection of multiple sets of limiting protrusions 12 and the cutting groove 13, and position the cutting groove 13 in the middle of the tablet. At this time, rotate the upper cover 1 by lifting the groove 2. The upper cover 1 rotates around the pin 3. At the same time, the upper cover 1 drives the cutter 7 to cut multiple tablets in sequence. The powder generated by cutting can be blocked by the protective frame 6. The upper cover 1 and the base 4 can be easily connected when not in use by the magnet 8 and the metal block 11 to prevent the upper cover 1 from opening by itself. Multiple tablets can be cut at the same time, with high cutting efficiency and less risk of cutting the fingers of the staff, which improves safety and also improves the uniformity of tablet cutting.
[0026] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
