Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of medicine bottles for holding medicines, and more specifically, relates to assembled medicine boxes and medicine bottles. Background Technology

[0002] Patients often need to take more than one medication during treatment, thus requiring them to carry multiple medications. While some medications come in standard vials, others prescribed in bulk by hospitals lack individual vials, making them inconvenient to carry.

[0003] In the prior art, medicine bottles with multiple compartments have emerged to facilitate the storage and carrying of various medications. For example, invention patent CN105936362A discloses a duplex medicine bottle with two independent compartments, an upper bottle and a lower bottle, which can store different medications. Another example is invention patent CN103845214A, which discloses a multifunctional medicine storage bottle that uses multiple threadedly connected bottle bodies to store different types of medications.

[0004] However, existing publicly available solutions all have certain problems. For medications with individual vials, the medication still needs to be transferred to new vials with multiple compartments, resulting in waste of the original individual vials. At the same time, for liquid medications that already have individual vials, it is not convenient to transfer the medication to the new vials. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a modular medicine box and medicine bottle. The modular medicine box is used to hold bulk medicines and can be directly installed on existing medicine bottles with individual medicine bottles, enabling integrated carrying and avoiding waste of the original medicine bottles.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this application provides a splicing medicine box, including a medicine box body, a medicine storage compartment on the top of the medicine box body, a compartment cover on the top opening of the medicine storage compartment, and a socket with a bottom opening at the bottom of the medicine box body, the socket being used to fit onto the outside of the cap of a medicine bottle.

[0007] Bulk medications are stored in the medication compartment. The modular medication box can be fitted over the cap of an existing medication bottle. When patients need to carry both bulk medications and medications already in individual bottles, they can select a modular medication box with a different fitting cavity size based on the cap size of the individual bottles. The modular medication box is then installed on the cap of the existing bottle, thus adding the ability to carry bulk medications in one unit without transferring the medication from the original bottle, saving the original bottle and ensuring that the medication is not contaminated during transfer. The medication compartment is independent of the medication bottle, and medications are stored separately, preventing mixing. If the medication in the bottle is liquid, it allows for the integrated carrying of both liquid and bulk medications, overcoming the limitation of existing technologies that prevent the transfer of liquid medications to partitioned bottles and thus cannot accommodate multiple medications in one unit.

[0008] Optionally, the interior of the drug storage compartment is vertically partitioned, dividing the compartment into several chambers to allow for the separate storage of different types of drugs.

[0009] Optionally, the top edge of the partition has a groove, and the bottom of the compartment cover has a protrusion that is sealed to the groove. When the compartment cover is closed, the groove and the protrusion completely separate the different chambers, preventing the drugs in the different chambers from mixing and avoiding mutual interference.

[0010] Optionally, the main body of the medicine box is transparent, making it easy to observe the amount of medicine in the storage compartment.

[0011] A medicine bottle includes a bottle body and a modular medicine box as shown in any of the above descriptions. The bottle body includes a bottle body and a cap that fits onto the opening of the bottle body, with a connecting cavity fitted onto the outside of the cap. If one or more bulk medications and a medication with an independent bottle are frequently taken together, the hospital can prepare a modular medicine box that matches the independent bottle when dispensing the medication. The modular medicine box is then installed on the bottle cap during dispensing to facilitate medication preparation.

[0012] Optionally, an anti-theft ring is fitted around the outer side of the bottle opening. Several connecting posts are spaced apart around the top of the anti-theft ring, and the anti-theft ring is fixedly connected to the bottom edge of the bottle cap via these connecting posts. At least one locking protrusion is distributed around the inner wall of the fitting cavity, positioned in the gap between any two adjacent connecting posts and on the bottom edge of the bottle cap. The locking protrusion hooks onto the bottom edge of the bottle cap, preventing the medicine box from separating from the cap and preventing it from falling off on its own. When it is necessary to open the bottle cap, pulling the medicine box forcefully causes it to press against the bottom of the cap via the arc surface of the locking protrusion and detach along the axial direction of the cap.

[0013] Optionally, the bottle cap is tapered, wider at the bottom than the top, to serve as a guide and facilitate the connection between the sleeve cavity and the bottle cap.

[0014] The advantages of the technical solution in this application compared to the prior art are as follows:

[0015] Bulk medications are stored in the medication storage compartment. The modular medication box is fitted onto the outside of the existing medication bottle cap via a connecting cavity. When patients need to carry both bulk medications and medications already in individual bottles, modular medication boxes with different connecting cavity sizes are selected based on the size of the individual bottle caps and installed on the existing bottle caps. This adds the ability to carry bulk medications in one unit without transferring the medication from the original bottle, thus avoiding waste of the original bottle and ensuring that the medication in the original bottle is not contaminated during transfer. The medication storage compartment is independent of the medication bottle, and medications are stored separately, preventing medication mixing. If the medication in the bottle is a liquid, it allows for the integrated carrying of both liquid and bulk medications, overcoming the shortcomings of existing technologies where liquid medications cannot be transferred to partitioned bottles and multiple medications cannot be carried together.

[0022] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects to be solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0023] Example 1:

[0024] This embodiment provides a modular medicine box, based on... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the medicine box includes a main body 1, with a medicine storage compartment 11 at the top for holding bulk medications. A cover 12 is fitted over the top opening of the medicine storage compartment 11 to seal it. The cover 12 can be installed at the top opening of the medicine storage compartment 11 using conventional methods such as snap-fit ​​or hinge. The bottom of the main body 1 has a connecting cavity 14 with a bottom opening 13. The connecting cavity 14 is used to fit over the outside of the cap 22 of an existing medicine bottle. Thus, when a patient needs to carry both bulk medications and medications that already have individual bottles, the patient can select a combined medicine box with a different connecting cavity 14 size based on the size of the individual bottle cap 22, and install the combined medicine box on the existing bottle cap 22. This adds the function of carrying bulk medications in one piece to the existing medicine bottle.

[0025] Furthermore, the internal structure of the drug storage compartment 11 is vertically divided by a partition 15, which divides the drug storage compartment 11 into several chambers 16. In this embodiment, there is one partition 15, which divides the drug storage compartment 11 into two chambers 16 to achieve separate storage of the two drugs. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of partitions 15 and chambers 16 can be increased according to different drug storage requirements.

[0026] Preferably, the top edge of the partition 15 has a groove 17, and the bottom of the cover 12 has a protrusion 18. After the cover 12 is closed, the protrusion 18 and the groove 17 are sealed together. In this embodiment, the cross-section of both the groove 17 and the protrusion 18 is triangular. When the cover 12 is closed, the groove 17 and the protrusion 18 are interlocked to completely separate the different chambers 16 15, preventing the drugs in the different chambers 16 from mixing and avoiding mutual interference. This arrangement is particularly suitable for the storage of granular or powdery drugs.

[0027] In other embodiments, the cross-sections of the groove 17 and the protrusion 18 may also be other shapes such as arc or inverted trapezoid, without limitation.

[0028] Preferably, the main body 1 of the medicine box is transparent, specifically made of transparent plastic, so as to facilitate observation of the amount of medicine in the medicine storage compartment 11.

[0029] In this embodiment, the main body 1 of the medicine box can be injection molded in one piece, making production convenient and cost-effective. Since the assembled medicine box can be fitted onto the outside of the cap 22 of an existing medicine bottle, it eliminates the need to transfer the medication from the original bottle, avoiding waste of the original bottle and ensuring that the medication in the bottle is not contaminated during transfer. The medicine storage compartment 11 is independent of the medicine bottle, storing medications separately and preventing mixing. If the medicine in the bottle is liquid, it allows for the integrated transport of liquid and bulk medicines, overcoming the shortcomings of existing technologies where liquid medicine bottles cannot be transferred to partitioned medicine bottles, thus preventing the integrated transport of multiple medicine bottles.

[0030] Example 2:

[0031] This embodiment provides a medicine bottle, based on Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the device includes a medicine bottle body and the modular medicine box shown in Example 1. The medicine bottle body includes a bottle body 21 and a bottle cap 22 that fits over the opening of the bottle body 21. A connecting cavity 14 is fitted onto the outside of the bottle cap 22. If one or more bulk medications and a medication with an independent bottle are frequently taken together, the hospital can prepare a modular medicine box that matches the bottle when dispensing the medication. The modular medicine box is then installed on the bottle cap 22 when dispensing the medication for easy dispensing.

[0032] Furthermore, an anti-theft ring 23 is fitted around the outer side of the opening of the bottle body 21, and several connecting posts 24 are spaced apart around the top of the anti-theft ring 23. Before the bottle cap 22 is opened for the first time, the anti-theft ring 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom edge of the bottle cap 22 by the several connecting posts 24. At least one snap-fit ​​protrusion 19 is distributed around the inner side wall of the sleeve cavity 14. The snap-fit ​​protrusion 19 is placed in the gap between any two adjacent connecting posts 24 and is located on the bottom side of the bottom edge of the bottle cap 22. In this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​protrusion 19 is a spherical protrusion, or it can be a strip-shaped protrusion, and the longitudinal section of the strip-shaped protrusion is arc-shaped. After the medicine box is installed on the bottle cap 22, the snap-fit ​​protrusion 19 hooks onto the bottom edge of the bottle cap 22, which can prevent the medicine box from separating from the bottle cap 22 and prevent the medicine box from falling off by itself. Before the bottle cap 22 is opened for the first time, the connecting posts 24 fix the anti-theft ring 23 to the bottle cap 22. Upon initial opening of the bottle cap 22, the connecting post 24 breaks. The anti-theft ring 23 separates from the bottle cap 22. When it is necessary to open the bottle cap 22, the medicine box is pulled forcefully, and the medicine box is pressed against the bottom of the bottle cap 22 by the arc-shaped surface of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 19 and detaches along the axial direction of the bottle cap 22.

[0033] In other embodiments, the snap-fit ​​protrusion 19 may also be a triangular protrusion or other shapes, with the hypotenuse of the triangular protrusion facing the bottom edge of the bottle cap 22, so that when the assembled medicine box is pulled, the assembled medicine box is squeezed by the hypotenuse of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 19 to the bottom of the bottle cap 22 and detached along the axial direction of the bottle cap 22.

[0034] Preferably, the bottle cap 22 is tapered, with a smaller top and a larger bottom, to serve as a guide, facilitating the connection between the sleeve cavity 14 and the bottle cap 22, and also facilitating the insertion of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 19 through the bottle cap 22.

[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
