[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0039] like Figures 1-3 , Figures 8-11 , Figure 13-15 The illustrated tablet dispensing and storage box includes a square storage box body 1 and a storage box cover 17 hinged to the rear of the storage box body 1, and a latch is provided between the storage box body 1 and the storage box cover 17.
[0040] The storage box 1 has multiple square dispensing slots 2 arranged in a rectangular array inside. The front of the storage box 1 is provided with a square medicine dispensing slot 3 that is connected to the lower part of each column of multiple dispensing slots 2 along the front-back direction.
[0041] A guide groove 4 is vertically opened at the center of the bottom of the dispensing groove 2, and a spring 5 is installed in the guide groove 4;
[0042] The dispensing groove 2 is provided with a dispensing box 8 with an open top. The dispensing box 8 is equipped with a dispensing box cover 13. The lower front end of the dispensing box 8 is provided with a medicine outlet 9. In the free state, the medicine outlet 9 on the dispensing box 8 is located above the medicine outlet groove 3. That is, under the action of the spring 5, the medicine outlet groove 3 and the medicine outlet 9 are not connected. The bottom of the dispensing box 8 is provided with a guide post 11 corresponding to the guide groove 4. The bottom of the guide post 11 is provided with a mounting hole 12 corresponding to the spring 5.
[0043] The pill dispensing and storage box provided by this utility model pre-packages pills according to the dosage for each dose and stores them individually in separate dispensing boxes 8, eliminating the need for dispensing medication each time. The remaining number of pills in each dispensing box 8 indicates whether a dose has been forgotten. When removing pills, manually prying them out can be difficult. However, flipping the entire storage box 1 over allows the pills to be poured out. If the lids of other dispensing boxes 13 are loose, pills in other dispensing boxes 8 may be spilled out. The pill dispensing and storage box allows pills to fall from the bottom of the storage box 1 by pressing the lid 13, making medication retrieval convenient, quick, and providing a good user experience.
[0044] like Figures 4-7 , Figure 12 As shown, the tablet dispensing and storage box also includes a grid baffle 6 disposed on the top of the storage box body 1. The grid baffle 6 is provided with grid holes 7 corresponding one-to-one with each dispensing slot 2. The size of the grid holes 7 is smaller than the size of the upper opening of the dispensing slot 2, thus confining the dispensing box 8 within the dispensing slot 2. In addition, the size of the grid holes 7 is larger than the size of the upper opening of the dispensing box 8, so that the dispensing box lid 13 can cover the dispensing box 8.
[0045] As a further optimization, a support strip 10 is provided on the upper part of the packaging box 8. The size of the packaging box lid 13 is smaller than the size of the upper opening of the packaging box 8 and larger than the inner diameter of the support strip 10. The support strip 10 and the packaging box lid 13 are connected together by magnetic attraction. The support strip is made of iron or magnet, and the edge of the packaging box lid 13 corresponding to the position of the support strip 10 is made of magnet or iron.
[0046] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 16 As shown, the tablet dispensing and storage box also includes a dispensing slot cover 14 corresponding to the opening of the dispensing slot 3. The dispensing slot cover 14 is made of rubber or silicone, and a limiting plate 15 with a size larger than the opening size of the dispensing slot 3 is provided on the outside of the dispensing slot cover 14. By providing the dispensing slot cover 14, the dispensing slot 3 can be sealed to prevent the tablets from getting damp. Both the dispensing box cover 13 and the dispensing slot cover 14 are provided with handles.
[0047] As a further optimization, the guide groove 4 and the guide post 11 are elliptical in shape and their length direction is set along the front and back direction of the storage box 1. With this setting, when the tablets are poured out through the dispensing groove 3, it can prevent the tablets from being blocked by the guide post 11 and the situation where the medicine cannot be completely poured out can be prevented.
[0048] The dispensing slots 2 are arranged in three rows and seven columns. Each column of dispensing slots 2 has its dispensing box lid 13 labeled with "Morning," "Noon," and "Evening" from back to front. Both the dispensing box lid 13 and the storage box lid 17 are made of transparent plastic, allowing for real-time monitoring of the remaining tablets. The three rows and seven columns correspond to the three times a day (morning, noon, and evening) and the seven days of the week, providing clear reminders for timely medication and making it easy to intuitively understand which dispensing box 8 contains the medication to take. The seven columns of dispensing slots 2 can also be labeled Monday through Sunday from left to right.
[0049] The storage box body 1 has an outward-facing edge 101 at its upper opening, and a sealing strip 16 is provided on the edge 101. The storage box lid 17 is connected to the rear of the storage box body 1 by two hinges 18. The front of the storage box body 1 has two lower latches 20, and the front of the storage box lid 17 has an upper latch 19 corresponding to the lower latches 20. By setting the sealing strip 16 and latches, the storage box can be better sealed, preventing moisture and the accidental opening of the dispensing box lid 13 when the storage box is dropped or placed in a bag. The storage box lid 17 is raised upward in the middle. As a further optimization, the entire middle of the storage box lid 17 is raised upward to a horizontal plane. After the storage box lid 17 is locked by the latches, the inside of the storage box lid 17 is in contact with the upper ends of all the dispensing box lids 13, which can prevent the dispensing box lids 13 from opening on their own.
[0050] How to use:
[0051] When preparing the medication, first open the storage box cover 17, then open all the dispensing box covers 13, place the medication to be taken each day into each dispensing box 8 according to the dosage, close the dispensing box cover 13 and lock the storage box cover 17.
[0052] When taking the medication, first open the storage box cover 17, then open the dispensing slot cover 14 corresponding to the medication to be taken that day, press the dispensing box cover 13 of the medication to be taken, and when the dispensing box 8 moves down, the dispensing port 9 will connect with the dispensing slot 3. Pour the tablet out from the dispensing slot 3. Then stop pressing the dispensing box cover 13, and the dispensing box 8 will automatically return to its original position under the action of the spring 5. Finally, close the dispensing slot cover 14 and lock the storage box cover 17.
