Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tablet cutting technology, specifically to a tablet cutter. Background Technology

[0002] In daily life, people often need to take medication to aid recovery after becoming ill, and doctors determine the appropriate dosage based on the individual patient's condition. While the specifications of the same medication are almost identical, some patients may only need to take half or a quarter of the normal dose in a single dose, requiring the tablet to be divided into two or four portions. Traditionally, this is done by hand or with scissors; however, these methods can lead to uneven division and increased contact between the tablet and hands, raising the risk of contamination. Therefore, sometimes a pill cutter is used. However, most pill cutters only have a single blade, requiring the tablet to be rotated 90 degrees and cut again after each cut, which is inconvenient for the user. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a medicine cutter to solve the problem that most medicine cutters only have a single blade, and when it is necessary to divide a tablet into four parts, the tablet needs to be rotated 90 degrees and cut again after one cut, which causes inconvenience to the user.

[0004] This utility model provides a medicine cutter, comprising:

[0005] The lower box body has an upward-facing cutting chamber;

[0006] The upper box body is hinged to the lower box body. On the side of the upper box body near the cutting chamber, there are a straight blade and a cross blade at intervals.

[0007] The movable seat is slidably disposed inside the cutting chamber. The movable seat is provided with a clamping mechanism, which is suitable for clamping the tablet and has a first position corresponding to the straight blade and a second position corresponding to the cross blade.

[0008] A locking mechanism is connected to the movable base, and the locking mechanism is suitable for fixing the relative position of the movable base and the lower box.

[0009] Beneficial effects: The upper box is equipped with a straight blade and a cross blade. By adjusting the position of the moving seat, the tablet can be aligned with the straight blade or the cross blade, so that the tablet can be divided into two or four pieces in one cut, which is convenient for users.

[0010] In one optional embodiment, the movable seat is provided with limit rods on both sides along its moving direction, and the side wall of the lower box is provided with limit channels corresponding to the moving path of the limit rods, and the limit rods are slidably disposed in the limit channels.

[0011] Beneficial effect: The limiting rod is slidably set in the limiting groove to improve the stability of the moving seat in the cutting chamber.

[0012] In one alternative embodiment, the limiting groove penetrates the side wall of the lower box, and one end of the limiting rod extends out of the lower box through the limiting groove; the upper box is adapted to rotate about its hinge axis with the lower box, and has a snap-fit ​​position where a straight blade or a cross blade contacts the moving seat. When the upper box is in the snap-fit ​​position, the upper box and the limiting rod directly or indirectly abut against each other.

[0013] Beneficial effects: During the tablet cutting process, when the upper box rotates to the locking position, the upper box abuts against the limiting rod, which reduces the pressure between the flat or cross-shaped blade and the upper surface of the moving seat, thereby reducing the wear on the blade and extending the service life of the flat or cross-shaped blade; and one end of the limiting rod extends out of the cutting cavity and protrudes from the lower box, so that the user can push the limiting rod to move the moving seat in the cutting cavity.

[0014] In one optional embodiment, the locking mechanism includes a fixing block disposed outside the lower box and fixedly connected to a limiting rod. A locking rod is movably disposed on the fixing block. Limiting holes are respectively opened on the side wall of the lower box corresponding to the locking rod in the first position and the second position. The locking rod is adapted to extend into the limiting hole.

[0015] Beneficial effects: By inserting the locking rod into the limiting hole, the position of the moving seat and clamping mechanism in the cutting chamber can be fixed, thereby preventing accidental movement of the tablets during the cutting process and improving the accuracy of tablet cutting.

[0016] In one optional embodiment, the clamping mechanism includes two spaced-apart support plates and a baffle structure movably disposed on each support plate. The support plates are fixedly connected to a movable seat, and the two baffle structures are disposed between the two support plates. The tablet is clamped between the two baffle structures, and the two baffle structures have a tendency to move closer to each other.

[0017] Beneficial effects: By movably setting the baffle structure on the support plate and making the two baffle structures tend to move closer to each other, it is easier to clamp tablets of different sizes, thereby improving the applicability of the tablet cutter.

[0018] In one alternative embodiment, the baffle structure includes two spaced-apart sub-baffles, with an included angle α between the two sub-baffles facing the side of the tablet, wherein 30°≤α<180°.

[0019] Beneficial effect: By setting the two sub-baffles at an angle, the two sub-baffles can limit the tablet in two mutually perpendicular directions, thereby improving the clamping stability of the clamping mechanism.

[0020] In one alternative embodiment, the baffle structure is provided with a guide surface, which is suitable for placing a tablet between two baffle structures along the guide surface.

[0021] Beneficial effects: During the placement of the tablet, the tablet is adapted to slide against the guide surface. The baffle structure is subjected to the interaction force between the guide surface and the tablet, and moves away from the tablet until the tablet can fall between the two baffle structures, thus facilitating the user's operation.

[0022] In one alternative embodiment, a movable rod is provided between the support plate and the baffle structure. The movable rod is fixedly connected to the baffle structure and slides through and is mounted on the support plate. A spring is sleeved on the movable rod, and the spring is adapted to make the baffle structure have a tendency to move closer to another baffle structure.

[0023] In one alternative embodiment, a stop block is fixedly connected to the movable rod, the stop block is located on the side of the support plate away from the baffle structure, and the stop block is adapted to abut against the support plate.

[0024] Beneficial effect: By setting a stop on the movable rod, it is prevented from falling off the support plate.

[0025] In one optional embodiment, the outer side wall of the lower box is provided with a first mark and a second mark corresponding to the first position and the second position, respectively.

[0026] Beneficial effect: By setting the first and second markings on the outer wall of the lower box, users can intuitively distinguish the first and second positions, thereby reducing operational confusion. Attached Figure Description

[0037] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0038] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 7 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.

[0039] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a medicine cutter is provided, comprising:

[0040] The lower box body 1 has an upward-facing cutting cavity 101;

[0041] The upper box 2 is hinged to the lower box 1. A straight blade 3 and a cross blade 4 are spaced apart on the side of the upper box 2 near the cutting chamber 101.

[0042] The movable seat 5 is slidably disposed inside the cutting chamber 101. The movable seat 5 is provided with a clamping mechanism 6, which is suitable for clamping the tablet and has a first position corresponding to the straight blade 3 and a second position corresponding to the cross blade 4.

[0043] The locking mechanism 7 is connected to the movable seat 5 and is adapted to fix the relative position of the movable seat 5 and the lower box 1.

[0044] The medicine cutter provided in this embodiment has a straight blade 3 and a cross blade 4 on the upper box 2. By adjusting the position of the moving seat 5, the medicine tablet is aligned with the straight blade 3 or the cross blade 4, so that the medicine tablet can be divided into two or four parts in one cut, which is convenient for the user.

[0045] Specifically, a pivot 10 is provided at one end of the lower box 1, and one end of the upper box 2 is hinged to the lower box 1 via the pivot 10. The upper box 2 can rotate around the pivot 10. The straight blade 3 and the cross blade 4 are adapted to enter or exit the cutting chamber 101 as the upper box 2 rotates. The straight blade 3 and the cross blade 4 are spaced apart on the upper box 2 in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the pivot 10, and the movable seat 5 is slidably disposed inside the cutting chamber 101 in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the pivot 10.

[0046] The upper surface of the movable seat 5 is provided with a clamping mechanism 6 for holding tablets. The tablets are placed on the upper surface of the movable seat 5 and clamped and limited by the clamping mechanism 6. The upper box 2 is opened to place the tablets in the clamping mechanism 6, and the movable seat 5 is moved to the first position or the second position. When the movable seat 5 moves the clamping mechanism 6 to the first position, the tablets on the clamping mechanism 6 correspond to the straight blade 3. The user rotates the upper box 2 so that the straight blade 3 can enter the cutting chamber 101 from above and cut the medicine on the clamping mechanism 6 into two parts. When the movable seat 5 moves the clamping mechanism 6 to the second position, the tablets on the clamping mechanism 6 correspond to the cross blade 4. The user rotates the upper box 2 so that the cross blade 4 can enter the cutting chamber 101 from above and cut the medicine on the clamping mechanism 6 into four parts.

[0047] After the movable seat 5 moves to the first or second position, the relative position of the movable seat 5 and the lower box 1 is fixed by the locking mechanism 7 to ensure that the movable seat 5 will not move accidentally during the cutting process, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of the tablet cutting.

[0048] In one embodiment, combined Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the movable seat 5 is provided with limit rods 51 on both sides along its moving direction, and the side wall of the lower box 1 is provided with a limit channel 102 corresponding to the moving path of the limit rods 51. The limit rods 51 are slidably disposed in the limit channel 102.

[0049] The medicine cutter provided in this embodiment has a limiting rod 51 that is slidably disposed in the limiting groove 102 to improve the movement stability of the moving seat 5 in the medicine cutting cavity 101.

[0050] Specifically, along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 10, the two end faces of the movable seat 5 slide in contact with the two inner side walls of the lower housing 1, and each of these end faces is provided with a limiting rod 51. The two inner side walls are each provided with a limiting groove 102, wherein the length direction of the limiting rod 51 is parallel to the axis of the rotating shaft 10. The limiting rod 51 slides against the inner wall of the limiting groove 102 to improve the moving stability of the movable seat 5.

[0051] In one embodiment, combined Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the limiting channel 102 penetrates the side wall of the lower box 1, and one end of the limiting rod 51 extends out of the lower box 1 through the limiting channel 102; the upper box 2 is adapted to rotate around its hinge axis with the lower box 1, and has a snap-fit ​​position where the straight blade 3 or the cross blade 4 contacts the moving seat 5. When the upper box 2 is in the snap-fit ​​position, the upper box 2 and the limiting rod 51 directly or indirectly abut against each other.

[0052] In the tablet cutting process provided in this embodiment, when the upper box 2 rotates to the locking position, the upper box 2 abuts against the limiting rod 51, so as to reduce the pressure between the straight blade 3 or the cross blade 4 and the upper end face of the moving seat 5, thereby reducing the wear on the blade and extending the service life of the straight blade 3 and the cross blade 4; and one end of the limiting rod 51 extends out of the cutting cavity 101 and is exposed outside the lower box 1, so that the user can push the limiting rod 51 to drive the moving seat 5 to move within the cutting cavity 101.

[0053] Specifically, the limiting channel 102 extends through the side wall of the lower box 1 along an axis parallel to the rotating shaft 10, and the end of the limiting rod 51 away from the moving seat 5 is adapted to pass through the limiting channel 102 to the outside of the lower box 1. The rotating shaft 10 serves as the hinge axis between the upper box 2 and the lower box 1. The tablet is placed on the upper end face of the moving seat 5. When the flat blade 3 or the cross blade 4 contacts the upper end face of the moving seat 5, that is, when the upper box 2 is in the locked position, the tablet is completely cut. Since the side wall of the upper box 2 directly or indirectly abuts against the limiting rod 51 at this time, the pressure at the cutting edge of the flat blade 3 or the cross blade 4 is reduced, thereby reducing the wear of the cutting edge and the moving seat, and extending the service life of the flat blade 3, the cross blade 4 and the moving seat 5. Furthermore, the upper end of the limiting rod 51 is detachably connected to the side wall of the upper box 2, and the limiting rod 51 abuts against the upper box 2 through the abutment block 13.

[0054] In one embodiment, combined Figures 1 to 4 as well as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the locking mechanism 7 includes a fixing block 71, which is disposed outside the lower box 1 and fixedly connected to the limiting rod 51. A locking rod 72 is movably disposed on the fixing block 71. Limiting holes 103 are respectively opened on the side wall of the lower box 1 corresponding to the locking rod 72 in the first and second positions. The locking rod 72 is adapted to extend into the limiting hole 103.

[0055] The pill cutter provided in this embodiment uses a locking rod 72 inserted into a limiting hole 103 to fix the position of the moving seat 5 and the clamping mechanism 6 in the pill cutting cavity 101. This prevents the pill from moving accidentally during the pill cutting process and helps to improve the accuracy of pill cutting.

[0056] Specifically, the fixing block 71 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the limiting rod 51. As a possible implementation, the fixing block 71 has a threaded hole, the axis of which is parallel to the axis of the rotating shaft 10. The locking rod 72 is constructed as a bolt and threaded into the threaded hole. When the moving seat 5 drives the clamping mechanism 6 to move to the first or second position, the bolt is rotated so that the end of the bolt extends into the corresponding limiting hole 103, thereby fixing the relative position of the moving seat 5 and the lower box 1. As an additional implementation, the fixing block 71 has a through hole extending along the axis of the rotating shaft 10. The locking rod 72 is constructed as a pin, which passes through the through hole. When the moving seat 5 drives the clamping mechanism 6 to move to the first or second position, the pin is pushed so that its end extends into the corresponding limiting hole 103, thereby fixing the relative position of the moving seat 5 and the lower box 1.

[0057] In one embodiment, combined Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the clamping mechanism 6 includes two spaced-apart support plates 61 and a baffle structure 62 movably disposed on each support plate 61. The support plates 61 are fixedly connected to the movable seat 5. The two baffle structures 62 are disposed between the two support plates 61. The tablet is clamped between the two baffle structures 62, and the two baffle structures 62 have a tendency to move closer to each other.

[0058] The pill cutter provided in this embodiment improves the applicability of the pill cutter by movably arranging the baffle structure 62 on the support plate 61 and making the two baffle structures 62 tend to move closer to each other, so as to clamp pills of different sizes.

[0059] Specifically, two support plates 61 are spaced apart in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation 10, and two baffle structures 62 are positioned close to or far apart from each other in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation 10. The baffle structures 62 slide in contact with the upper surface of the movable seat 5 to improve the stability of their movement. The two baffle structures 62 do not contact each other to allow for clearance from the incision cutter 3. The bottom surface of the tablet contacts the upper surface of the movable seat 5, and the two baffle structures 62 are adapted to abut against the sides of the tablet, thereby limiting the tablet's position in three dimensions.

[0060] Along the moving direction of the movable seat 5, the lower box 1 has a medicine outlet 12 on the end wall near the rotating shaft 10. The medicine outlet 12 is connected to the medicine cutting chamber 101. After the tablet is cut, the upper box 2 is opened, the baffle structure 62 is pushed to release the two baffle structures 62 from the limit of the tablet, and the medicine cutter is tilted so that the cut tablet is removed from the medicine outlet 12.

[0061] In one embodiment, combined Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the baffle structure 62 includes two spaced sub-baffles 621, and the two sub-baffles 621 form an included angle α between the sides facing the tablet, wherein 30°≤α<180°.

[0062] The medicine cutter provided in this embodiment improves the clamping stability of the clamping mechanism 6 by setting the two sub-baffles 621 at an angle so that the two sub-baffles 621 limit the medicine tablet in two mutually perpendicular directions.

[0063] Specifically, the two sub-baffles 621 of the same baffle structure 62 are symmetrically arranged and spaced apart. The gap between the two baffle structures 62 and the gap between the two sub-baffles 621 are used to avoid the cross-shaped blade 4.

[0064] For example, in some embodiments, the value of α can be 40° or 50° or 60° or 70° or 80° or 90° or 100° or 110° or 120° or 130° or 140° or 150° or 160° or 170°, or it can be a range formed by any two of the above values.

[0065] In one embodiment, combined Figure 6 As shown, the baffle structure 62 is provided with a guide surface 11, which is suitable for placing the tablet between the two baffle structures 62 along the guide surface 11.

[0066] In the process of placing the tablet, the tablet is adapted to slide against the guide surface 11. The baffle structure 62 is subjected to the interaction force between the guide surface 11 and the tablet, and moves away from the tablet to a position where the tablet can fall between the two baffle structures 62, thereby facilitating the user's operation.

[0067] Specifically, a guide surface 11 is formed at the junction of the side of the sub-baffle 621 facing the tablet and the top surface of the sub-baffle 621. The guide surface 11 can be an arc-shaped surface or a sloped surface.

[0068] In one embodiment, combined Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a movable rod 63 is provided between the support plate 61 and the baffle structure 62. The movable rod 63 is fixedly connected to the baffle structure 62, and the movable rod 63 passes through and slides on the support plate 61. A spring 64 is sleeved on the movable rod 63. The spring 64 is adapted to make the baffle structure 62 have a tendency to move closer to the other baffle structure 62.

[0069] Specifically, at least one movable rod 63 is provided between each set of support plates 61 and baffle structures 62. One end of the movable rod 63 is fixedly connected to the baffle structure 62, and the other end passes through the support plate 61. The baffle structure 62 is movably mounted on the support plate 61 via the movable rod 63. A spring 64 is provided between the support plate 61 and the baffle structure 62. After a tablet is placed between the two baffle structures 62, the spring 64 is in a compressed state. One end of the spring 64 abuts against the support plate 61, and the other end abuts directly or indirectly against the baffle structure 62. Furthermore, a connecting frame 66 is fixedly connected to the side of the baffle structure 62 away from the tablet. The connecting frame 66 is U-shaped, and the baffle structure 62 is fixedly connected to the end of the movable rod 63 via the connecting frame 66. The two ends of the spring 64 abut against the support plate 61 and the connecting frame 66, respectively.

[0070] In one embodiment, combined Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a stop 65 is fixedly connected to the movable rod 63. The stop 65 is located on the side of the support plate 61 away from the baffle structure 62, and the stop 65 is adapted to abut against the support plate 61.

[0071] The medicine cutter provided in this embodiment prevents the movable rod 63 from falling off the support plate 61 by setting a stop 65 on the movable rod 63.

[0072] Specifically, the stop 65 is adapted to abut against the side of the support plate 61 away from the baffle structure 62, thereby preventing the movable rod 63 from disengaging from the support plate 61 during the movement of one baffle structure 62 toward the other. Furthermore, by adjusting the position of the fixed connection between the stop 65 and the movable rod 63, the minimum distance between the two baffle structures 62 can also be changed.

[0073] In one embodiment, combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the outer side wall of the lower box 1 is provided with a first mark 8 and a second mark 9 corresponding to the first position and the second position, respectively.

[0074] The medicine cutter provided in this embodiment has a first mark 8 and a second mark 9 set on the outer side wall of the lower box 1 so that the user can intuitively distinguish the first position and the second position, thereby reducing operational confusion.

[0075] Specifically, the first identifier 8 and the second identifier 9 may take the form of a groove or a sticker, etc., and the types of the first identifier 8 and the second identifier 9 may include text, numbers, or graphics, etc., as long as the first identifier 8 and the second identifier 9 are different. As a preferred embodiment, the first identifier 8 corresponding to the first position is constructed as a straight groove, and the second identifier 9 corresponding to the second position is constructed as a cross-shaped groove.

[0076] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clear illustration and are not intended to limit the implementation. Although embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such modifications and variations fall within the scope defined by the present invention.
