Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pharmaceutical packaging technology, and in particular to a quantitative granule dispensing bottle cap. Background Technology
[0002] Bottles are containers used to hold food, beverages, or medicines. A bottle cap helps to seal the container and prevent contamination or spillage. Pills are a common dosage form in the pharmaceutical industry and are usually packaged in medicine bottles.
[0003] However, existing medicine bottles and caps only serve the function of holding and sealing. When taking medication, patients often encounter situations where they cannot accurately pour out the required number of pills at once, causing unnecessary inconvenience. Furthermore, the process of handling the medication inevitably leads to contamination of the medicine or indirect contamination of the contents of the bottle, posing a safety hazard to the patient's health.
[0004] Currently, there are some cap structures for dispensing pills in a quantitative manner, but it is difficult to control the number of pills dispensed each time, and the number of pills dispensed cannot be adjusted. For example, patent CN116553009A discloses a cap for dispensing pills in a quantitative manner, which includes a cap body and a cap plate. The cap body is a cylindrical structure with a threaded structure at one end for connecting to a medicine bottle. The cap plate is openable and located at the other end of the cap body. The cap body has a pill positioning plate, and a dispensing cavity is formed between the pill positioning plate and the cap plate. There is a pill channel between the pill positioning plate and the inner wall of the cap body. The pill positioning plate has a set of pill positioning structures for quantitative dispensing, and the pill positioning plate has a protrusion near the edge of the pill channel. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a quantitative granule dispensing bottle cap, which aims to achieve accurate and easily controllable quantitative dispensing of pills.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] The quantitative dispensing bottle cap includes a pill dispensing layer, a pill storage layer, and a cap layer. The inner wall of the cap layer is provided with a connecting structure for connecting to the bottle mouth. The pill storage layer and the cap layer are rotatably connected to each other, and the pill dispensing layer and the pill storage layer are movably connected. A drug storage cavity is formed between the pill dispensing layer and the pill storage layer. When the quantitative dispensing bottle cap is inverted and the pill storage layer is twisted, the pills fall into the opened drug storage cavity. The pill dispensing layer is used to remove a human-defined number of pills. After the drug is removed, the pill storage layer is twisted in the opposite direction to close the drug storage cavity.
[0008] Further or preferred:
[0009] The quantitative layer of the pill and the storage layer are connected by a connecting rib, allowing the quantitative layer of the pill to be flipped open.
[0010] The inner side of the pill metering layer is provided with a limiting hole base, and the limiting hole base is provided with a set of pill limiting holes for limiting the number and relative position of pills taken out. The pill limiting holes are arranged in an alternating manner.
[0011] The base of the limiting hole is provided with a pill anti-misalignment platform between the pill limiting holes.
[0012] The pill storage layer is located between the pill metering layer and the bottle cap layer. The pill storage layer is provided with a drug storage cavity and an upper sealing plate, and an upper open opening is formed between the drug storage cavity and the upper sealing plate.
[0013] The bottle cap layer is provided with a lower sealing plate, and a lower opening is formed between the lower sealing plate and the inner wall of the bottle cap layer.
[0014] The relative rotation angle of the pill storage layer and the bottle cap layer is changed to control the relative position of the upper opening and the lower closing plate, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the medicine storage chamber; when the upper opening and the lower closing plate are aligned, the medicine storage chamber is in the closed state, and when the upper opening and the lower opening are aligned, the medicine storage chamber is in the open state.
[0015] The upper closed plate is equipped with an adjustable quantity control plate. The size of the upper open opening in the pill storage layer determines the number of pills falling into the pill limiting hole. The size of the upper open opening can be freely adjusted by the quantity control plate.
[0016] The lower sealing plate of the bottle cap layer is equipped with a sound-emitting buckle. When the relative angle between the pill storage layer and the bottle cap layer is rotated, the sound-emitting buckle will make a sound when the storage cavity is closed, indicating that the storage cavity is in the closed state.
[0017] The pill storage layer and the bottle cap layer are connected by a rotatable slot and a locking platform, which allows the pill storage layer and the bottle cap layer to be connected together with a certain gap, allowing the pill storage layer and the bottle cap layer to rotate relative to each other.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:
[0019] 1. The bottle cap body is an integrated structure that combines sealing and quantitative granule dispensing functions. It features simple operation, high accuracy, simple structure, and strong adaptability. The bottle cap body can play a sealing role, thus replacing ordinary bottle caps. By twisting the bottle cap body, the pills in the medicine bottle can be quickly and accurately dispensed in a quantitative manner. It is convenient to use and can be used to dispense various pills of various shapes such as balls and ovals. It has the advantages of convenient use, low cost, and safety and hygiene.
[0020] 2. Secondly, during use, by setting a slot and a platform between the pill storage layer and the bottle cap layer, the pill storage layer and the bottle cap layer can be firmly fixed while allowing relative rotation. By twisting the bottle cap layer, the sealing plate is removed, and the upper opening and the pill storage chamber are opened, allowing the pills to easily fall into the opened storage chamber. Under the restriction of the pill limiting hole, the limiting hole base, and the pill anti-misalignment platform, the pills with a manually limited number of pills taken are retained in the pill storage layer, and the excess pills are isolated in the bottle by the sealing plate. The bottle cap layer is equipped with a sound-emitting buckle that will make a sound when the medicine is taken out to indicate that the medicine has been taken out. The pill storage layer is equipped with a quantity control plate, which can easily adjust the number of pills taken out.
[0021] During the removal process, there is a risk of too many or too few pills. However, by utilizing the structure in this invention, when the cap is twisted and the pills enter the pill storage layer, the pills can be positioned and quantified, ensuring that an accurate number of pills remain in the storage cavity. This design offers the advantages of being convenient to use and cost-effective.
[0022] 3. A quantity control plate is installed in the pill storage layer, which can easily adjust the number of pills taken out to meet the dosage of different users. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through the description of the examples.
[0034] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the adjustable quantitative dispensing bottle cap has a body 0 that is an integrated structure of the quantitative dispensing device and the bottle cap. It includes a pill dispensing layer 1, a pill storage layer 2, and a bottle cap layer 3. The inner wall of the bottle cap layer is provided with a connecting structure for connecting to the bottle mouth. The pill storage layer and the bottle cap layer are rotatably connected to each other, and the pill dispensing layer and the pill storage layer are movably connected. The pill dispensing layer can be flipped open. A drug storage cavity 22 is formed between the pill dispensing layer and the pill storage layer. When the quantitative dispensing bottle cap is inverted and the pill storage layer is twisted, the pill falls into the opened drug storage cavity. The pill dispensing layer is used to remove the human-limited number of pills. After the drug is removed, the pill storage layer is twisted in the opposite direction to close the drug storage cavity, and the pill remains in the pill storage layer.
[0035] Furthermore, the pill metering layer and the pill storage layer are connected by a connecting rib on one side, allowing the pill metering layer to be flipped open. On the other side, there is a matching elastic clip structure between the pill metering layer and the pill storage layer. The pill metering layer is a cover plate structure, which is closed by the elastic clip structure. The top surface of the cover plate is provided with a protrusion 14 for piercing the bottle mouth sealing film.
[0036] The inner side of the pill metering layer 1 is provided with a limiting hole base 12. The limiting hole base is provided with a set of pill limiting holes 11 for limiting the number and relative position of pills taken out. The pill limiting holes are staggered and arranged. The limiting hole base is provided with a pill anti-misalignment platform 13 between the pill limiting holes.
[0037] The pill storage layer 2 is located between the pill metering layer and the bottle cap layer. The pill storage layer is provided with a pill storage cavity 22 and an upper sealing plate 24, and an upper open opening 23 is formed between the pill storage cavity and the upper sealing plate. The bottle cap layer is a hollow bottle cap body. The lower inner wall of the bottle cap body is provided with a spiral structure connected to the bottle mouth. The bottle cap layer 3 is provided with a lower sealing plate 31, and a lower open opening 32 is formed between the lower sealing plate and the inner wall of the bottle cap layer.
[0038] The relative rotation angle between the pill storage layer and the bottle cap layer is changed to control the relative position of the upper opening 23 and the lower closing plate 31, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the medicine storage chamber; when the upper opening 23 and the lower closing plate are aligned, the medicine storage chamber is in the closed state, and when the upper opening 23 and the lower opening 32 are aligned, the medicine storage chamber is in the open state.
[0039] Preferably, the pill storage layer and the bottle cap layer are connected by a rotatable slot 25 and a slot 33. The slot is located at the upper end of the bottle cap body and the slot is located at the lower end of the pill storage layer. This allows the pill storage layer and the bottle cap layer to be connected together with a certain gap, allowing the pill storage layer and the bottle cap layer to rotate relative to each other. This integrated design results in a simple structure.
[0040] The lower sealing plate of the bottle cap layer is equipped with a sound-emitting buckle 34. When the relative angle between the pill storage layer and the bottle cap layer is rotated, the sound-emitting buckle will make a sound when the storage cavity is closed to indicate that the storage cavity is closed. The operation is simple and easy to use.
[0041] The upper closed plate is equipped with an adjustable quantity control plate 21. The size of the upper open opening in the pill storage layer determines the number of pills falling into the pill limiting hole. The size of the upper open opening can be freely adjusted by the quantity control plate.
[0042] Preferably, the inner wall of the pill storage layer is provided with a set of insertion holes along the circumference, and the outer end of the quantity control plate is provided with a plug that mates with the insertion holes, making it easy to adjust the position of the quantity control plate.
[0043] During use, the normal procedure is to tilt the bottle so that the pills fall into the cap. Although the pill-retaining hole on the cap can be exposed by rotating it, and then the pills fall into the hole, if the size of the pill hole and the retaining hole are not perfectly matched, extra pills may fall in. Even if the pill hole matches, when the cap is rotated again, some pills may still fall into the connecting plane between the holes. When resetting, this will squeeze the pills, preventing them from resetting properly and potentially damaging them. In addition, the squeezing process may also push out the pills that have fallen into the pill hole. Therefore, the cap has an additional function: the pill hole can protect the fallen pills and separate them from other pills, preventing them from being squeezed out by other pills and causing the number of pills taken out to be incorrect.
[0044] A preferred embodiment of this utility model is as follows: The bottle cap includes a body capable of being twisted to dispense pills, a pill-quantifying layer for limiting the number of pills dispensed and preventing incorrect pill dispensing, and a pill storage layer for controlling the number of pills dispensed and storing the pills. The pill storage layer and the bottle cap layer together form a pill storage area that can be opened and closed, creating a three-layer structure. During use, the bottle cap and the medicine bottle are first inverted. The pill-quantifying layer and the pill storage layer are then twisted, opening the pill storage area and allowing the pills in the medicine bottle to fall into the pill storage layer. The pill-quantifying layer is used to dispense the predetermined number of pills. Once dispensing is complete, a sound-emitting buckle on the bottle cap layer will emit a sound to indicate completion, and the pill storage area will close to prevent the pills from returning to the medicine bottle. The number of pills dispensed can be arbitrarily controlled by changing the position of the quantity control plate in the pill storage layer. The structural design of the limiting hole base and the pill anti-mistake platform in the pill-quantifying layer ensures successful and accurate pill dispensing on the first attempt.
[0045] This utility model has the following advantages:
[0046] The bottle cap body is an integrated structure that combines sealing and quantitative granule dispensing functions. It features simple operation, high accuracy, simple structure, and strong adaptability. The bottle cap body can act as a seal, thus replacing ordinary bottle caps. By twisting the bottle cap body, pills in the medicine bottle can be quickly and accurately dispensed in quantitative form. It is convenient to use and can be used to dispense various pills of different shapes such as balls and ovals. It has the advantages of convenient use, low cost, and safety and hygiene.
[0047] Secondly, during use, by setting slots and platforms between the pill storage layer and the cap layer, the pill storage layer and the cap layer can be firmly fixed while allowing relative rotation. By twisting the cap layer, the sealing plate is removed, and the upper opening and the drug storage chamber are opened, allowing the pills to easily fall into the opened drug storage chamber. Under the constraints of the pill limiting hole, the limiting hole base, and the pill anti-misalignment platform, the number of pills that can be manually limited is retained in the pill storage layer, and excess pills are separated by the sealing plate. The pills are stored in a medicine bottle; the cap has a sound-emitting buckle that will make a sound when the medicine is taken out, to indicate that the medicine has been taken out; the pill storage layer has a quantity control plate, which can easily adjust the number of pills taken out; during the process of taking out the medicine, there may be a risk of too many or too few pills. However, by using the structure of this utility model, when the cap is twisted and the pill enters the pill storage layer, the pills can be limited and quantified, so that the accurate number of pills are retained in the medicine storage cavity. It has the advantages of convenient use and low cost.
[0048] The pill storage layer is equipped with a quantity control plate, which can easily adjust the number of pills taken out to meet the dosage needs of different users.
[0049] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. The above technical features can be arbitrarily combined to form multiple embodiments of the present utility model.
