Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pharmaceutical packaging, specifically a high-precision granule-counting quantitative bottle cap for Mongolian medicine. Background Technology
[0002] Mongolian medicine, as an important component of traditional medicine, plays a vital role in clinical treatment and daily health maintenance. However, traditional Mongolian medicine bottle packaging lacks a pre-measured dispensing design, forcing patients to pour the medicine directly into their palms. Without precise measuring devices, accurately controlling the amount dispensed at one time is difficult, potentially leading to insufficient dosage affecting treatment efficacy or excessive dosage causing adverse reactions. This is particularly challenging for elderly patients or those with poor eyesight, who often need to try multiple times to obtain the approximate dosage. Furthermore, direct contact with the medicine by hand makes it susceptible to contamination by bacteria and dirt, especially when hands are not properly cleaned, significantly increasing the risk of contamination and impacting both medication quality and patient health. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a high-precision granule-counting Mongolian medicine quantitative bottle cap, which solves the problems of traditional Mongolian medicine bottle packaging lacking quantitative dispensing design, difficulty in dosage control, and high hygiene risks in the prior art.
[0004] A high-precision granule-counting Mongolian medicine quantitative bottle cap includes an outer cap with internal threads, an inner boss on the inner side of the outer cap, and several counting grooves on the inner boss.
[0005] Preferably, a sealing gasket is provided on the outer side of the inner boss on the outer cover to increase the airtightness between the medicine bottle and the outer cover.
[0006] Preferably, the outer wall of the inner boss is interference-fitted with the inner wall of the medicine bottle opening.
[0007] Preferably, the depth of the counting groove is between one-third and one times the diameter of the drug particle, and the aperture of the counting groove is between one and one and a half times the diameter of the drug particle.
[0008] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0009] 1. This utility model, through the cooperation of the counting groove and the outer cover, allows the patient to pour the medicine into the counting groove after opening the outer cover. The size design of the counting groove enables single-layer drug delivery, which can quickly and accurately count the medicine, ensuring the accuracy of the amount of medicine taken each time, meeting the requirements of precision medicine, improving the treatment effect, reducing the risks caused by inaccurate dosage, avoiding the patient's direct contact with the medicine, reducing the possibility of drug contamination, ensuring drug quality and patient medication safety. At the same time, the clear quantitative dispensing method can also effectively prevent patients from overdosing due to misreading the dosage, reducing medication safety hazards.
[0010] 2. This utility model adopts a double sealing design of sealing gasket and inner boss. The initial sealing of the sealing gasket and the secondary sealing of the inner boss with the bottle mouth greatly improve the overall sealing performance of the bottle cap, effectively prevent the medicine from getting damp, oxidized and deteriorated during storage, extend the shelf life of the medicine and ensure the efficacy of the medicine.

[0015] 1. Outer cover; 2. Inner boss; 3. Counting groove; 4. Sealing gasket. Detailed Implementation
[0016] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.
[0017] As attached Figure 3 As shown: Example 1: This utility model provides a high-precision granule-counting Mongolian medicine quantitative bottle cap, which consists of an outer cap 1, an inner boss 2, a counting groove 3 and a sealing gasket 4, to achieve accurate quantitative dispensing and good sealed preservation of Mongolian medicine granules.
[0018] As attached Figure 3 As shown: The inner side of the outer cover 1 is provided with an internal thread, which can be tightened to match the external thread of the medicine bottle mouth, thereby connecting and fixing the bottle cap to the medicine bottle. The inner side of the outer cover 1 is provided with an inner boss 2, which provides an installation base and structural support for other components.
[0019] As attached Figure 3As shown: The inner boss 2 is located inside the outer cover 1. Its outer wall is interference-fitted with the inner wall of the medicine bottle mouth. On the basis of sealing the medicine bottle mouth with the sealing gasket 4, a secondary seal is further achieved through interference compression, which enhances the overall airtight performance, prevents the medicine from getting damp, oxidized, etc., and ensures the quality of the medicine.
[0020] The counting grooves 3 are distributed on the inner bosses 2, and the counting grooves 3 adopt a honeycomb distribution structure. Their depth is designed to be between one-third and one times the diameter of the medicinal grain, and the aperture is between one and one-and-a-half the diameter of the medicinal grain. The depth of the counting groove is less than the diameter of the medicinal grain (one-third to one time), utilizing gravity and the blocking effect of the groove wall to allow the medicinal grain to naturally spread flat at the bottom of the groove; the aperture is slightly larger than the diameter of the medicinal grain (one to one-and-a-half the diameter), allowing the medicinal grain to fall smoothly while preventing multiple grains from entering the same groove simultaneously, thus achieving a single-layer distribution. The medicinal grains in Mongolian medicine (i.e., traditional pills) are usually spherical or near-spherical, with a diameter generally (close to the size of a soybean), typically 6–8 mm. The depth of the counting grooves 3 is typically 2–6 mm, ensuring that the medicinal grains cannot be vertically stacked; the aperture is typically 6–10 mm, ensuring that a single medicinal grain can be stably embedded and is not easily stuck. This size design ensures that the medication is dispensed in a single layer when it is poured into the counting chamber 3, making it convenient for patients to quickly and accurately count the medication, thereby achieving precise quantitative dispensing of the medication.
[0021] Considering that the traditional dosage of Mongolian medicine is approximately 7-15 pills per dose, the number of counting slots 3 can be designed to be either universal or customized. The universal type uses 5-7 counting slots 3 on the protrusion 2, while the customized type can have the number of counting slots 3 customized according to the commonly swallowed dose. Compared to the traditional method of pouring medicine, this design eliminates the risk of hand contact with the medicine through the physical isolation between the outer cover 1 and the counting slots 3.
[0022] As attached Figure 2 As shown: The sealing gasket 4 is installed inside the outer cap 1 and outside the inner boss 2 to increase the airtightness between the medicine bottle and the outer cap 1. It is the first line of defense for the bottle cap sealing, effectively preventing external air, moisture and other substances from entering the medicine bottle and protecting the quality of the medicine.
[0023] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 2 As shown: Example 2: This example is basically the same as the previous example, except that the counting groove 3 adopts an egg tray structure similar to an egg packaging. The curved bottom of the groove fits the curved surface of the drug granules, reducing rolling friction and facilitating the return of the drug granules to their positions. Its compact arrangement increases the number of counting grooves by 20% to 30% compared to the honeycomb structure, making it suitable for scenarios with larger dosage requirements.
[0024] Working principle: The patient unscrews the outer cap 1, tilts the medicine bottle, and slowly pours the Mongolian medicine granules into the counting groove 3 on the inner protrusion 2. Due to the special size design of the counting groove 3, the granules will be distributed in a single layer in the groove. The patient can clearly count the number of granules in the counting groove 3. After determining the required dosage according to the doctor's prescription, the excess granules are poured back into the medicine bottle, and the appropriate number of granules are taken.
[0025] After obtaining the medication, the patient screws the outer cap 1 back onto the bottle. The double sealing effect of the sealing gasket 4 and the inner boss 2 ensures that the bottle is sealed again, and the bottle is then properly stored.
[0026] The embodiments of this utility model are given for the purpose of illustration and description. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the utility model. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of this utility model.
