Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device auxiliary devices, and in particular to a medicine cup holder that prevents tipping. Background Technology

[0002] A medicine cup holder is a support device used to hold medicine cups. Its main function is to stably support the medicine cups, keep them in a specific position, prevent them from tipping over, and facilitate people's access to, dispensing, or taking medicine. In hospital pharmacies, pharmacists use medicine cup holders to place multiple medicine cups in an orderly manner, which facilitates accurate dispensing of medicines and serves as a reminder and makes it easy to access the medicine.

[0003] Although existing medicine cup holders are widely used, they still have some drawbacks and limitations. For example, existing medicine cup holders are relatively tall and have a dispersed center of gravity, making them prone to tipping and shaking when impacted, causing medicines to scatter, resulting in drug contamination and waste, which is especially significant for expensive or special medicines.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design an anti-tipping medicine cup holder to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing medicine cup holders, such as their high height, dispersed center of gravity, and tendency to tip over and shake upon impact, leading to spillage, contamination, and waste, especially for expensive or special medicines, this invention provides an anti-tipping medicine cup holder.

[0006] The technical solution is as follows: A medicine cup holder to prevent tipping, comprising a slide rail, a connecting plate, a connecting frame, a sliding frame, a rubber sleeve, a placement tray, a positioning plate, a first spring, a limiting plate, and bolts. There are four slide rails, each with multiple slots. A connecting frame is fixedly connected between the tops of the four slide rails. Multiple sliding frames are vertically slidably connected between two slide rails on the same side via sliding grooves. Rubber sleeves are fixedly connected to both sides of each sliding frame within the sliding groove. The rubber sleeves fit against the inner wall of the sliding groove on the sliding frame to provide friction. Two sliding frames at the same height are connected by... The slide rail is laterally connected to a placement plate. Two sliding frames at the same height are slidably connected to positioning plates on opposite sides. The positioning plates have protrusions at both ends that mate with slots. Both ends of the positioning plates are inserted into corresponding slots. A first spring connects the sliding frame and the positioning plate. A connecting plate is fixedly connected between the middle of two slide rails on the same side. Bolts are threaded onto both connecting plates. The side of the bolts that is close to each other is rotatably connected to a limit plate via a rotating shaft. The limit plate contacts the middle of multiple positioning plates on the same side. Both limit plates are slidably connected to the connecting frame via a slide rod.

[0007] Optionally, it also includes a fixed shaft, a support frame, a strip slider, a plug rod, and a second spring. The bottom of each slide rail is fixedly connected to a fixed shaft, and the lower end of each fixed shaft is rotatably connected to a support frame. Each support frame has a strip slider slidably connected inside it, and each support frame has a plug rod slidably connected to it. The strip slider has multiple limiting grooves, and the plug rod is inserted into one of the limiting grooves on the strip slider. A second spring is connected between the support frame and the plug rod.

[0008] Optionally, it also includes a retaining ring and a third spring. Each retaining ring is fitted on the fixed shaft and can slide vertically. The lower part of the fixed shaft is square. The retaining ring has a square hole in the middle and slides up and down in the lower part of the fixed shaft. The top of the support frame has symmetrically arranged slots. The bottom of the retaining ring has protrusions on opposite sides. The protrusions on the retaining ring are inserted into the corresponding slots on the support frame. A third spring is fitted between the fixed shaft and the retaining ring.

[0009] Optionally, it also includes a first rotating ring, a second rotating ring, and a placement tray. Multiple first rotating rings are rotatably connected inside the placement tray via a fixed shaft. Each first rotating ring is rotatably connected to a second rotating ring via a fixed shaft. The rotation shafts of the first rotating rings and the rotation shafts of the second rotating rings are perpendicular to each other. A placement tray is fixedly installed inside the second rotating ring.

[0010] Optionally, it also includes a transparent panel, with a transparent panel fixedly connected between two sliding frames at the same height.

[0011] Optionally, the support frame is L-shaped to increase load-bearing stability.

[0012] Beneficial effects: 1. When there is a large space between adjacent sliding racks, medicine cups can be placed conveniently. Then, by rotating the bolt, the limiting plate is driven to separate, which drives the positioning plate to overcome the elasticity of the first spring and disengage from the slide rail. After applying a downward force, the sliding rack moves down, lowering the overall center of gravity of the placement tray. This solves the problem that the existing medicine cup holders are too high, the center of gravity is dispersed, and they are prone to tipping and shaking when they are hit, causing medicine to scatter, resulting in medicine contamination and waste, which is especially important for expensive or special medicines. This not only makes it convenient to place medicine cups, but also lowers the center of gravity after placement, improving the stability of placement.

[0013] 2. This utility model, by setting a fixed shaft, a support frame, a strip slider, an insert rod, and a second spring, allows the support frame to be rotated and the position of the slider to be adjusted by pulling the insert rod, thus quickly unfolding the support frame and flexibly increasing the support area of ​​the device. This effectively enhances the stability of the device, avoids the risk of tipping over due to insufficient support, ensures the safe placement of the medicine cup, and reduces the loss of medicine spillage.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] Example: An anti-tipping medicine cup holder, such as Figures 1-14 As shown, the device includes a slide rail 1, a connecting plate 102, a connecting frame 2, a sliding frame 3, a rubber sleeve 301, a placement tray 4, a positioning plate 5, a first spring 6, a limiting plate 7, a bolt 8, a first rotating ring 14, a second rotating ring 15, and a placement support 1501. There are four slide rails 1, each with multiple slots 101. A connecting frame 2 is welded between the tops of the four slide rails 1. Multiple sliding frames 3, which can slide up and down, are slidably connected between two slide rails 1 on the same side via grooves. Rubber sleeves 301 are fixedly connected to both sides of the sliding frame 3 within the grooves on the slide rails 1, resulting in significant friction between the sliding frame 3 and the slide rails 1, preventing the sliding frame 3 from easily sliding or shifting and enhancing the stability of the medicine cup placement. A placement tray 4, which can move back and forth, is slidably connected between two sliding frames 3 at the same height via grooves. A positioning plate 5 is slidably connected to the opposite sides of two sliding frames 3 at the same height. The positioning plate 5 extends forward and backward on both sides. The protrusions inside are all inserted into one of the slots 101. Two first springs 6 are connected between the sliding frame 3 and the positioning plate 5. A connecting plate 102 is welded between the middle of the two slide rails 1 on the same side. Bolts 8 are threaded onto the two connecting plates 102. A limit plate 7 is rotatably connected to the side of the two bolts 8 that are close to each other. The limit plate 7 contacts the middle of the multiple positioning plates 5 on the same side. The two limit plates 7 are slidably connected to the connecting frame 2 through a slide rod. Multiple first rotating rings 14 are rotatably connected vertically inside the placement tray 4. A second rotating ring 15 is rotatably connected vertically inside each of the first rotating rings 14. The rotation axis of the first rotating ring 14 and the rotation axis of the second rotating ring 15 are set perpendicular to each other. By utilizing the characteristic that the second rotating ring 15 can rotate freely inside the first rotating ring 14, the medicine cup can be further prevented from falling. A placement tray 1501 is fixedly installed inside the second rotating ring 15. The placement tray 1501 is used to place the medicine cup and prevent the medicine cup from slipping.

[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 and Figure 14As shown, the device also includes a fixed shaft 9, a support frame 10, a strip slider 11, an insert rod 12, and a second spring 13. The bottom of each slide rail 1 is welded with a fixed shaft 9, and the lower end of each fixed shaft 9 is horizontally rotatably connected to a support frame 10. The support frame 10 is L-shaped, and the strip slider 11 is slidably connected inside each support frame 10 via a groove. An insert rod 12 is slidably connected to each support frame 10 via a groove. Multiple limiting grooves are provided on the strip slider 11. The insert rod 12 is inserted into one of the limiting grooves on the strip slider 11 to limit its position. A second spring 13 connects the support frame 10 and the insert rod 12. By increasing the support area of ​​the device through the support frame 10 and the strip slider 11, the stability of the device is effectively enhanced, avoiding the risk of tipping due to insufficient support, ensuring the safe placement of the medicine cup, and reducing the loss of medicine spillage.

[0031] like Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, it also includes a retaining ring 16 and a third spring 17. Retaining rings 16 that slide up and down are fitted onto the fixed shaft 9. The lower part of the fixed shaft 9 is square-shaped (e.g., ...). Figure 9 As shown), the retaining ring 16 slides within a square area on the fixed shaft 9. Two slots are provided on the top two sides of the support frame 10, and two corresponding protrusions are provided on the bottom two sides of the retaining ring 16. The protrusions on the retaining ring 16 are inserted into the corresponding slots on the support frame 10. A third spring 17 is fitted between the fixed shaft 9 and the retaining ring 16.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a transparent plate 18. The two sliding frames 3 at the same height are fixedly connected with the transparent plate 18, which can prevent the medicine cup from sliding down from above and play a protective role. At the same time, it is also convenient for the operator to observe the medicine in the medicine cup.

[0033] When using this device to place medicine cups, first pull out the placement tray 4 forward, and then place the medicine cups steadily into the placement holder 1501 on the second rotating ring 15. Then push the placement tray 4 back. Initially, due to the pressure of the limiting plate 7, the first spring 6 is in a stretched state. Rotate the bolt 8 in sequence to move the two limiting plates 7 to the opposite side on the connecting frame 2. The movement of the limiting plates 7 releases the pressure on the positioning plate 5, allowing the positioning plate 5 to slide outward in the sliding frame 3 under the elastic restoring action of the first spring 6. The positioning plate 5 disengages from the slot on the slide rail 1. 101. The user can apply a downward force to the sliding frame 3, move the sliding frame 3 downward, lower the center of gravity of the placement tray 4, and adjust it to a suitable height. Then, rotate the bolt 8 in the opposite direction to move the two limiting plates 7 to the side closer to each other and reset them. Press the positioning plate 5 to re-engage into the corresponding slot 101 of the slide rail 1, thereby fixing the placement tray 4 on the slide rail 1. The first spring 6 will also be stretched to the stretched state by the positioning plate 5. This not only facilitates the placement of the medicine cup, but also lowers the center height after placement, improving the stability of placement.

[0034] To increase the support area of ​​this device relative to the ground, grasp the lower support frame 10 in sequence, causing the support frame 10 to rotate outward 180° against the elastic pressure of the third spring 17. During this process, the protrusion on the retaining ring 16, under the pressure of the support frame 10, first disengages from the corresponding slot on the support frame 10. At this time, the third spring 17 is compressed. Then, after the support frame 10 rotates 180°, the protrusion on the retaining ring 16 aligns with the slot on the support frame 10 again. The protrusion on the retaining ring 16 will also re-insert into the slot on the support frame 10 under the reset action of the third spring 17. In this way, the cooperation between the protrusion on the retaining ring 16 and the slot on the support frame 10 keeps the support frame 10 at an angle, preventing it from deflecting arbitrarily. After the support frame 10 rotates outward 180°, the insertion rod 12 can be pulled upward. The insertion rod 12 disengages from the limiting groove on the strip slider 11. At this time, the second spring 13 is compressed. Then, pulling the strip slider 11 outward allows the strip slider 11 to be positioned within the support frame 10. Pull the support frame 10 outwards to increase the support area between the device and the ground. After the strip slider 11 is pulled out to the appropriate position, release the insert rod 12. Under the reset action of the second spring 13, the insert rod 12 re-inserts into the limiting groove on the strip slider 11, thereby limiting the position of the strip slider 11. When it is necessary to retract the support frame 10, overcome the elastic force of the second spring 13 and pull the insert rod 12 to disengage it from the limiting groove on the strip slider 11. Push the strip slider 11 back inwards to the initial position, and then release the insert rod. 12. Under the elastic force of the second spring 13, the insertion rod 12 is re-engaged into the limiting groove on the strip slider 11, and the strip slider 11 is fixed on the support frame 10 again. Then, the support frame 10 is grasped and rotated back to the initial state. At the same time, the retaining ring 16 overcomes the elastic force of the third spring 17 under the compression of the support frame 10, slides upward on the fixed shaft 9 and then slides downward, and re-engages into the support frame 10, completing the entire retraction operation of the support frame 10, thus completing the use process of this device.
