[0002] In the field of medicine bottle storage tools, with the rapid development of the biopharmaceutical industry, the requirements for the safety and practicality of medicine bottle storage tools are increasing. In existing technologies, some medicine bottle storage boxes only focus on the safety of storing the bottles. For example, a biopharmaceutical medicine bottle storage box disclosed in Chinese patent application number 201811114181.5 uses a combination of a box body, vertical rods, and sleeves to hold the medicine bottles inside, preventing them from colliding and rubbing against each other during movement, thus achieving shock absorption protection.

[0003] However, these storage boxes have significant limitations in practical use. In hospitals and other medical settings, healthcare workers have extremely high demands for efficient and orderly management of bottled medical fluids. The storage boxes in the aforementioned comparative document cannot achieve the left-in-right-out or outside-in retrieval sequence for bottled medical fluids, requiring healthcare workers to repeatedly search for medications, wasting considerable time. Furthermore, after one bottle of medication is used, the remaining medications cannot be automatically returned to an easily accessible location, increasing operational complexity. In addition, they also have shortcomings in medication labeling management and the integration of the storage box with the cabinet, failing to meet the needs of efficient medication management in medical settings. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of bottled medical fluid storage box to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a storage box for bottled therapeutic liquids, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, which are that the storage boxes cannot realize the left-in-right-out and outside-in retrieval order of bottled therapeutic liquids, and that medical staff have to repeatedly search for the medicines, wasting a lot of time; and that after one bottle of therapeutic liquid is taken out, the remaining medicines cannot be automatically returned to an easily accessible position, which increases the complexity of operation.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a bottled therapeutic liquid storage box, comprising at least two small boxes and one large box. The small boxes are nested inside the large box to allow the bottled therapeutic liquid to be accessed from left to right and from the outside to the inside. A sloping plate is installed on the inner bottom of each small box, and several rollers are installed on the sloping plate to allow the liquid in the second bottle to automatically slide to the position of the first bottle after the first bottle of therapeutic liquid is accessed. The front of the large box is provided with a bottle opening, and a sliding door that can be pushed and pulled left and right is installed at the bottle opening.

[0006] This design features a nested structure where smaller boxes are inserted into larger ones. Utilizing gravity and the principles of inclined planes, combined with the rolling friction of rollers, the medicines slide sequentially. A sliding door controls the opening and closing of the bottle dispensing spout.

[0014] This setting provides a physical container for placing paper or electronic labels.

[0015] Preferably, the bottom of the large box is equipped with track wheels, and a track is installed inside the medicine cabinet. The track wheels can slide on the roller conveyor, making it convenient for the large box to enter and exit the cabinet.

[0016] This setting allows the track wheel and track to move linearly, converting sliding friction into rolling friction.

[0017] Preferably, the bottom of the small box is equipped with several casters.

[0018] This feature reduces the contact area between the small and large boxes, thus lowering the coefficient of friction.

[0019] Preferably, the large box has a top opening, the small box has a medicine bottle placement opening, the top opening and the medicine bottle placement opening are adapted to each other in size, and the front of the small box has an oblique opening near the bottle opening.

[0020] This design aligns the top opening with the medicine bottle's placement opening to form a vertical channel, while the angled opening optimizes the medicine dispensing angle.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0022] In terms of ease of use, this bottled medication storage box features a nested design with a smaller box inside a larger one. This design allows for easy access to the medications from left to right and from the outside in, standardizing the retrieval sequence and eliminating the need for medical staff to repeatedly search for medications. This significantly improves efficiency and reduces retrieval time. Furthermore, the inclined plate and roller structure on the inner bottom of the smaller box allow the second bottle to automatically slide to the position of the first after the first bottle is retrieved, further optimizing the retrieval process and ensuring that subsequent medications are always easily accessible, reducing operational complexity.

[0023] In terms of structural fit and ease of operation, the bottle dispensing port and sliding door design on the front of the large box allow medical staff to flexibly control the opening and closing of the dispensing port. The fit between the sliding door and the guide groove of the large box, as well as the special setting of the sliding door width, ensures smooth sliding and always provides an opening for the small box to enter and exit, facilitating the retrieval, placement, and adjustment of the small box. In addition, the track wheels at the bottom of the large box work with the medicine cabinet tracks to facilitate the entry and exit of the large box from the cabinet, and the pulleys at the bottom of the small box also facilitate the movement of the small box within the large box, making the overall operation more convenient and efficient.

[0024] Regarding labeling and standardization, the label placement boxes on the front of each small and large box clearly display the labels for therapeutic fluids, helping medical staff quickly identify medication information, avoid taking the wrong medication, and improve the standardization and accuracy of medication management. The top opening of the large box, the bottle placement opening on the top of the small box, and the slanted opening at the front of the small box work together to facilitate the placement of the bottles and better adapt to the retrieval process, further enhancing the practicality and functionality of the storage boxes.

[0030] 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.

[0031] This utility model provides a storage box for bottled therapeutic liquids, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, it includes at least two small boxes 2 and one large box 1. The small boxes 2 are inserted into the large box 1 to allow the bottled therapeutic liquid to be taken from the left and out, and from the outside to the inside. A sloping plate 21 is installed on the inner bottom of the small box 2. Several rollers 22 are installed on the sloping plate 21 so that after the first bottle of therapeutic liquid is taken, the liquid in the second bottle will automatically slide to the position of the first bottle. The large box 1 has a bottle opening 11 on the front side, and a sliding door 3 that can be pushed and pulled left and right is installed at the bottle opening 11.

[0032] A nested spatial structure is constructed by inserting at least two small boxes 2 inside a large box 1. An inclined plate 21 installed on the inner bottom of each small box 2 forms a certain angle with the horizontal plane. With the help of several rollers 22 installed on the inclined plate 21, gravity allows the liquid in the second bottle to automatically slide to the position of the first bottle after the first bottle of treatment fluid is taken, driven by the component of gravity along the inclined plate 21 and the rolling of the rollers 22. A bottle-retrieving opening 11 on the front of the large box 1, along with a sliding door 3 that can be pushed and pulled left and right at the opening 11, controls the opening and closing of the retrieval channel. This ensures that bottled treatment fluids are retrieved in a left-in, right-out, outside-in order, guaranteeing first-in, first-out dispensing and preventing medication accumulation and expiration. After the first bottle of fluid is taken, subsequent bottles automatically slide to an easily accessible position without manual adjustment, improving the efficiency of medication retrieval for medical staff and reducing operation time. The sliding door 3 allows medical staff to flexibly control the dispensing opening; when not in use, the bottle-retrieving opening 11 can be closed to prevent dust and protect the medications.

[0033] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the rollers 22 are rotatably connected to the inclined plate 21 via bearings, and the rollers 22 are arranged in a graded interval.

[0034] Rollers 22 are rotatably connected to the inclined plate 21 via bearings, allowing them to rotate freely around the bearing center, reducing frictional resistance with the bottom of the medicine bottle. The rollers 22 are arranged at graded intervals on the inclined plate 21 to accommodate medicine bottles of different diameters, ensuring suitable rollers provide support and rolling guidance regardless of the bottle's bottom size. This ensures the rollers 22 rotate flexibly during bottle sliding, reducing friction and allowing the bottle to slide smoothly and automatically to the designated position. The graded intervals of the rollers 22 enhance the storage box's applicability to different sizes of bottled therapeutic liquids, improving the device's versatility and practicality.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, guide grooves are provided on the upper and lower sides of the large box 1 near the sliding door 3, and the upper and lower sides of the sliding door 3 are connected to the guide grooves by guide wheels.

[0036] The guide grooves on the upper and lower sides of the large box 1 near the sliding door 3 cooperate with the guide wheels installed on the upper and lower sides of the sliding door 3. The guide wheels roll within the guide grooves, restricting the movement trajectory of the sliding door 3 so that it can only move left and right in the horizontal direction. This ensures that the sliding door 3 remains stable during left and right pushing and pulling, without any deviation, shaking, or jamming, thus improving the service life of the sliding door 3 and the smoothness of operation, and facilitating medical staff to quickly and accurately open and close the bottle opening 11.

[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the width of the sliding door 3 is the width of the large box 1 minus the width of the small box 2, so that there is always an opening for the small box 2 to enter and exit when the sliding door 3 is pushed and pulled left and right.

[0038] The width of the sliding door 3 is set to the width of the large box 1 minus the width of the small box 2. During the left and right sliding process of the sliding door 3, there will always be an opening between the large box 1 and the sliding door 3 with a width equal to the width of the small box 2. This opening allows the small box 2 to enter and exit the large box 1.

[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, each small box 2 and large box 1 has a label placement box on the front for placing labels for the treatment fluid.

[0040] Each small box 2 and large box 1 has a label placement box on the front. Medical staff can place labels containing information such as the name, specifications, and expiration date of the treatment fluid in the box, making the drug information clearly visible. This allows medical staff to quickly identify the drugs in each small box 2 and large box 1, reducing the time spent searching for drugs, avoiding the mistake of taking the wrong drug due to unclear labeling, and improving the accuracy and standardization of drug management.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 1As shown, the bottom of the large box 1 is equipped with track wheels, and the inside of the medicine cabinet is equipped with track 4. The track wheels can slide on the roller track 4, making it convenient for the large box 1 to enter and exit the cabinet.

[0042] The track wheels installed at the bottom of the large box 1 cooperate with the track 4 installed inside the medicine cabinet. The track wheels roll on the track 4, converting the sliding friction between the large box 1 and the cabinet into rolling friction. This significantly reduces the resistance when the large box 1 moves in and out of the cabinet. Medical staff only need a small amount of force to push the large box 1, making it easier for the large box 1 to enter and exit the cabinet, facilitating the replenishment of medicines and the maintenance of the storage box, and improving work efficiency.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, several pulleys 23 are installed at the bottom of the small box 2.

[0044] The small box 2 has several casters 23 installed at its bottom, which reduces the contact area between the small box 2 and the bottom of the large box 1, lowering the coefficient of friction between them and making the small box 2 move more smoothly inside the large box 1. This makes it easier and less strenuous for medical staff to adjust the position of the small box 2 inside the large box 1, or to remove or place the small box 2 from the large box 1, reducing labor intensity and improving the user experience.

[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the top of the large box 1 has a top opening 12, and the top of the small box 2 has a medicine bottle placement opening 24. The top opening 12 and the medicine bottle placement opening 24 are matched in size. The front of the small box 2 is provided with a slanted opening 25 near the bottle opening 11.

[0046] The top opening 12 of the large box 1 is sized to match the medicine bottle placement opening 24 of the small box 2, forming a through-channel that facilitates placing the medicine bottle into the small box 2 from the top. The angled opening 25 at the front of the small box 2 near the bottle dispensing opening 11 alters the angle at which the medicine bottle is removed from the opening 11, making it more ergonomic. This provides a way to add medicine bottles from the top, increasing the methods and convenience of medicine placement. The angled opening 25 design allows medical staff to operate their hands more naturally and comfortably when retrieving medicines from the bottle dispensing opening 11, reducing operational difficulty and improving efficiency.

[0047] When using this bottled therapeutic liquid storage box, firstly, when storing medicine, push the large box 1 into the appropriate position in the cabinet along the track 4 inside the cabinet using the bottom track wheels. The rolling action of the track wheels and track 4 makes operation easy and effortless. Then, the bottled therapeutic liquid can be vertically placed into the small box 2 through the vertical channel formed by the top opening 12 of the large box 1 and the bottle placement opening 24 on the top of the small box 2. The inclined plate 21 and roller 22 structure on the inner bottom of the small box 2 provide stable support for the bottle, and the inclined angle design of the inclined plate 21 causes the bottle to naturally tilt towards the bottle opening 11 after placement. Simultaneously, the label placement frame on the front of each small box 2 and large box 1 can hold the corresponding medicine's label for easy and quick identification later.

[0048] When bottled medical fluids are needed, medical staff push or pull the sliding door 3 at the bottle opening 11 on the front of the large box 1. Due to the cooperation of the guide wheels on the upper and lower sides of the sliding door 3 with the guide groove of the large box 1, the sliding door 3 can slide stably in the horizontal direction, opening the medication access channel. At this time, the bottled medical fluid located at the front of the small box 2 near the bottle opening 11 is exposed, and medical staff can directly take it. After taking the first bottle of medical fluid, based on the tilt angle of the inclined plate 21 at the bottom of the small box 2 and the rolling action of the roller 22 on the inclined plate 21, the liquid in the second bottle is automatically rolled to the position of the first bottle under the drive of the component of gravity along the inclined plate 21, without manual intervention, ensuring that subsequent medications are always in an easily accessible state. Furthermore, because the design of the small box 2 fitting inside the large box 1 realizes the left-in-right-out, outside-in access sequence of bottled medical fluids, ensuring that the medications are first-in-first-out and avoiding medication accumulation and expiration. Furthermore, the width of the sliding door 3 is designed to be the width of the large box 1 minus the width of the small box 2. During the sliding process, there is always an opening for the small box 2 to enter and exit. If needed, the position of the small box 2 within the large box 1 can be adjusted at any time, or the small box 2 can be replaced. The casters 23 at the bottom of the small box 2 make its movement within the large box 1 smoother and easier to operate.

[0049] When the medicine in small box 2 needs to be replenished, the medicine bottle can be placed into small box 2 from the top through the channel formed by the top opening 12 of large box 1 and the medicine bottle placement opening 24 of small box 2. Furthermore, if all the medicines in small boxes 2 within large box 1 need to be replenished or replaced, large box 1 can be easily pulled out of the cabinet along track 4 using the track wheels for centralized processing. The slanted opening 25 at the front of small box 2 near the bottle opening 11 makes the hand operation angle more ergonomic during medicine replenishment and retrieval, reducing operational difficulty and improving operational efficiency.

[0050] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model.
