Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of drug storage device technology, specifically to a drug storage container. Background Technology

[0002] In daily life, when people take medicine for illness or take health care products, they generally need to take them according to a predetermined cycle and course of treatment, such as three times a day, once a day for a week, etc., and each time they may need to take multiple different medications.

[0003] In response, to make it easier for users to take their medications, many compartmentalized medicine containers have appeared on the market. By separating medications taken at different times or different types of medications, these containers make it easier for users to take their medications daily and avoid situations such as taking the same medication twice or forgetting to take certain medications.

[0004] Among these methods, the screw-on dispensing method has become the preferred choice for many users due to its ease of operation. Specifically, the screw-on dispensing method refers to a medicine container with multiple storage chambers. By rotating the cap, the dispensing port on it aligns with the corresponding storage chamber, allowing the medicine in that chamber to be retrieved and taken.

[0005] In existing screw-on drug containers, after the cap is rotated to the angle corresponding to the dispensing port and a certain storage cavity, the user needs to manually fix the cap relative to the drug container to prevent the cap from rotating incorrectly and causing dispensing failure. Such cumbersome operation undoubtedly reduces the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the above problems, this application provides a drug storage container that can make it convenient to take out each drug from each compartment while storing drugs in separate compartments, thereby improving the user experience.

[0007] This application provides a drug storage container, including: a container body, a main cap, and a screw cap. The container body has an opening, the main cap is connected to the opening, and the screw cap is rotatably connected to the side of the main cap opposite to the container body. The interior of the container body is divided circumferentially into multiple storage cavities for storing drugs. The main cap has multiple drug outlets circumferentially, each corresponding to a storage cavity. The edge of the screw cap has a dispensing port. When the screw cap rotates relative to the main cap, the dispensing port can rotate to a position opposite to any one of the drug outlets, allowing the drug in the storage cavity corresponding to that dispensing port to be retrieved. The main cap... The device is equipped with an elastic cantilever. The side of the elastic cantilever facing the screw cap has a protrusion, and the side of the screw cap facing the main cap has multiple grooves along the circumference, with each groove corresponding to a medicine outlet. When the medicine outlet rotates to a position opposite to one of the medicine outlets, the groove corresponding to that medicine outlet engages with the protrusion, restricting the rotation of the screw cap. When one of the grooves and the protrusions is engaged, as the screw cap rotates, the protrusion causes the elastic cantilever to bend and deform under the force of the screw cap. When the next groove rotates to a position opposite to the protrusion, the elastic cantilever returns to its original shape so that the protrusion engages with the next groove.

[0008] In one alternative embodiment, the main cap has a perforated section in the area enclosed by multiple medicine outlets, and an elastic cantilever is disposed in the perforated section and integrally formed with the main cap.

[0009] In one alternative embodiment, the width of the flexible cantilever gradually decreases from its engagement point with the main cover toward its free end, with a protrusion located at the free end of the flexible cantilever.

[0010] In one alternative embodiment, the main cap is arched to form a boss, the medicine outlet is opened on the boss, a groove is opened on the outer periphery of the boss, the screw cap is shaped to fit the boss and covers the boss, and at least one slider is provided on the inner periphery of the screw cap, the slider is slidably embedded in the groove.

[0011] In one alternative, the screw cap has a sliding cover on the side opposite to the main cap, the sliding cover being able to slide relative to the screw cap to open or close the dispensing port.

[0012] In one alternative embodiment, the cap is provided with a first limiting groove and a second limiting groove at intervals along the sliding direction of the sliding cap, and the sliding cap is provided with an elastic plunger; when the sliding cap slides to the position that completely closes the medicine dispensing port, the elastic plunger engages with the first limiting groove, and when the sliding cap slides to the position that completely opens the medicine dispensing port, the elastic plunger engages with the second limiting groove.

[0013] In one alternative embodiment, the sliding cover has a shape that is raised in the middle and recessed on both sides in its sliding direction, and the surface of the recessed areas on both sides is provided with a rough structure.

[0014] In one alternative embodiment, a limiting wall is formed by a protrusion on the cap, which surrounds the sliding cover; a slide rail is provided on the inner side of the limiting wall, and a limiting block is provided on the sliding cover, which is slidably connected in the slide rail; the limiting wall is used to limit the maximum sliding stroke of the sliding cover.

[0015] In one alternative embodiment, the container body is provided with an external thread, and the main cover is provided with an internal thread. The main cover is detachably connected to the external thread of the container body through the internal thread. A first limiting part is provided at the end of the external thread, and a second limiting part is provided at the end of the internal thread. After the internal thread is screwed onto the external thread and the first limiting part and the second limiting part are connected, the position of the medicine outlet is aligned with the storage cavity.

[0016] In one alternative approach, a bayonet is provided on one side of the container body and / or the main cover for attaching a hanging rope.

[0017] The drug storage container provided in this application adopts a double-lid structure, including a main lid and a screw cap. The main lid is responsible for connecting to the container body. The main lid has a drug outlet that corresponds to each storage cavity in the container body. The screw cap is rotatably connected to the main lid and has a drug retrieval port. By rotating the screw cap so that the drug retrieval port is opposite to any one of the drug outlets, the drug in the corresponding drug outlet can be retrieved.

[0018] Meanwhile, a flexible cantilever is provided on the main cap. A protrusion on the cantilever engages with a groove on the cap, ensuring the cap remains in place after rotating to the appropriate angle. When the cap is rotated and the protrusion transitions between the two grooves, the pressure exerted on the protrusion by the cap's compression is released by the bending deformation of the flexible cantilever. This reduces the wear rate of the protrusion, ensuring that even after prolonged use, the protrusion can still effectively engage with the groove, preventing the cap from easily rotating when dispensing medicine and improving the user experience.

[0042] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the embodiments of this application.

[0046] In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, technical terms such as "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0047] For screw-on drug containers, in order to enable the cap to automatically retain itself after rotating to the angle corresponding to the dispensing port and the storage cavity, so that users can dispensing the medicine without manually operating the cap to keep it fixed, it is advisable to use some rotational damping structure to cooperate between the cap and the drug container. For example, the cap can be retained by the interlocking of protrusions and grooves or by increasing friction by clamping soft rubber pads.

[0048] Then, through practical testing, it was found that with the protrusion and groove combination, since both the cap and container body are generally made of plastic, and the small protrusions wear down due to compression during cap rotation, after prolonged use and frequent cap rotation, the wear on the protrusions intensifies, reducing their height and weakening the engagement between the protrusion and groove. This reduces the stability of the cap's positioning, making it easy for the cap to rotate and cause dispensing failure when shaking the container to take out the medicine, or even resulting in medicine spillage. As for the method of using a soft rubber pad to increase friction, on the one hand, users need to apply more force when rotating the cap, resulting in a poor user experience; on the other hand, the addition of a soft rubber pad also increases the production cost of the container, leading to a decrease in product competitiveness.

[0049] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a drug storage container with a double-lid structure, specifically comprising a main lid and a screw cap. The main lid is connected to the container body, and the main lid has dispensing ports that correspond one-to-one with the storage cavities in the container body. The screw cap is rotatably connected to the main lid and has a dispensing port. By rotating the screw cap to align the dispensing port with any of the dispensing ports, the drug in the corresponding dispensing port can be retrieved.

[0050] Meanwhile, a flexible cantilever is provided on the main cap. A protrusion on the cantilever engages with a groove on the cap, ensuring the cap remains in place after rotating to the appropriate angle. When the cap is rotated and the protrusion transitions between the two grooves, the pressure exerted on the protrusion by the cap's compression is released by the bending deformation of the flexible cantilever. This reduces the wear rate of the protrusion, ensuring that even after prolonged use, the protrusion can still effectively engage with the groove, preventing the cap from easily rotating when dispensing medicine and improving the user experience.

[0051] Please refer to details. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The figure shows the three-dimensional structure and exploded structure of the drug storage container provided in the embodiment of this application. As shown in the figure, the drug storage container 100 includes a container body 110, a main cover 120, and a screw cap 130. The container body 110 has an opening 111, the main cover 120 is connected to the opening 111, and the screw cap 130 is rotatably connected to the side of the main cover 120 opposite to the container body 110.

[0052] The interior of the container body 110 is divided into multiple storage chambers 112 along the circumference for storing medicines. Each storage chamber 112 can store a single dose of medicine, or different types of medicines can be stored in different storage chambers 112. The main cover 120 has multiple medicine outlets 121 along the circumference, and each medicine outlet 121 is configured to correspond to a storage chamber 112.

[0053] A medicine dispensing port 131 is provided at the edge of the screw cap 130. When the screw cap 130 rotates relative to the main cap 120, the medicine dispensing port 131 can be rotated to a position opposite to any medicine dispensing port 121 so that the medicine in the storage cavity 112 corresponding to the medicine dispensing port 121 can be taken out.

[0054] To ensure that even after prolonged use, the cap 130 can be effectively kept in its current position after being rotated to the position where the dispensing port 131 is opposite to any of the dispensing ports 121, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 4 The exploded view of the main cap 120 and the screw cap 130 shows that the main cap 120 is provided with an elastic cantilever 122, and the side of the elastic cantilever 122 facing the screw cap 130 is provided with a protrusion 123. The side of the screw cap 130 facing the main cap 120 is provided with multiple grooves 132 along the circumference. The grooves 132 are provided one-to-one with the medicine outlets 121. It should be noted that the one-to-one correspondence between the grooves 132 and the medicine outlets 121 does not mean that the positions of the grooves 132 and the medicine outlets 121 must correspond one-to-one. Rather, after the medicine outlet 131 is rotated to a position opposite to a certain medicine outlet 121, there will always be a groove 132 that forms a limiting engagement with the protrusion 123 to keep the screw cap 130 at the current angle and prevent it from rotating easily. Accordingly, there is a corresponding relationship between the medicine outlet 121 opposite to the medicine outlet 131 and the groove 132 that engages with the protrusion 123.

[0055] For details, please refer to further information. Figure 5 The figure shows the cross-sectional structure of the dispensing port 131 after it is rotated to be opposite to a certain dispensing port 121, with the protrusion 123 engaged with one of the grooves 132. As can be seen from the figure, after the protrusion 123 is engaged with the groove 132, the inner wall of the groove 132 limits the protrusion 123, so the cap 130 will not easily rotate relative to the main cap 120. For the user, there is no need to manually control the cap 130 to keep it in place, and the medicine in the storage cavity 112 can be poured out from the dispensing port 131 for consumption by tilting or shaking the container body 110. Moreover, the cap 130 will not rotate during the tilting or shaking of the container body 110, thus not affecting the removal of the medicine.

[0056] exist Figure 5 In the indicated state, when it is necessary to align the dispensing port 131 with another dispensing port 121 to obtain the corresponding medication from the storage chamber 112, a slight rotation of the cap 130 will cause the protrusion 123 to move out of the groove 132. Specifically, after the protrusion 123 moves out of the groove 132, the protrusion 123 will be subjected to the force of the inner wall of the cap 130. The protrusion 123 will then transmit the force to the elastic cantilever 122, causing the elastic cantilever 122 to bend and deform under the force. Figure 6 The state shown. When in Figure 6 Based on the state shown, continue to rotate the cap 130 so that the next groove 132 rotates to the position opposite to the protrusion 123. The elastic cantilever 122 will then restore its deformation so that the protrusion 123 and the next groove 132 can engage.

[0057] from Figure 6 As can be seen, by utilizing the bending deformation of the elastic cantilever 122, the protrusion 123 can be moved downward by a certain distance to avoid excessive compression and friction between the protrusion 123 and the inner wall of the cap 130, which would cause the protrusion 123 to wear more. This ensures that after long-term use, the protrusion 123 can still effectively engage with the groove 132, ensuring that the cap 130 can remain stable after being rotated into place.

[0058] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the main cover 120 has a hollow portion 124 in the area enclosed by multiple medicine outlets 121. An elastic cantilever 122 is disposed within the hollow portion 124 and integrally formed with the main cover 120. Specifically, the elastic cantilever 122 can be made of the same elastic material as the main cover 120, such as rigid plastic. This arrangement allows the elastic cantilever 122 to be formed directly during the main cover 120 manufacturing process, eliminating the need for separate production of the elastic cantilever 122 and simplifying the assembly process.

[0059] Of course, in some other embodiments, the elastic cantilever 122 may also be a spring made of metal or other elastic material, and be assembled and fixed to the main cover 120 by means of threaded fasteners, snap-fit, adhesive or other means.

[0060] Similarly, the protrusion 123 can be integrally molded with the elastic cantilever 122, or it can be assembled and fixed to the elastic cantilever 122 by means of bonding, threaded fastener connection, or snap-fit. The protrusion 123 can be made of wear-resistant plastic or metal material to further extend its service life.

[0061] To ensure the structural stability of the elastic cantilever 122, such as Figure 7 As shown, the width W of the elastic cantilever 122 gradually decreases from the position where it engages with the main cover 120 (the upper end of the elastic cantilever 122 in the figure) to its free end (the lower end of the elastic cantilever 122 in the figure), and the protrusion 123 is provided at the free end of the elastic cantilever 122.

[0062] The elastic cantilever 122 adopts this transition from thick to thin, which ensures that the elastic cantilever 122 has a large cross-sectional area at the joint with the main cover 120, thus preventing the elastic cantilever 122 from cracking or even breaking during bending deformation. At the same time, placing the protrusion 123 at the thinner free end of the elastic cantilever 122 ensures that the elastic cantilever 122 can better perform elastic deformation when the protrusion 123 is under force, and provides sufficient movement space for the protrusion 123, ensuring that there is no severe squeezing friction between the protrusion 123 and the inner wall of the screw cap 130.

[0063] Bumps 123 can be used Figure 3 As shown in the diagram, the hemispherical shape corresponds to the internal space of the groove 132, which can also be as shown in the diagram. Figure 4 The hemispherical shape shown ensures that the protrusion 123 and the groove 132 can effectively engage and limit the movement, allowing the cap 130 to rotate easily by applying force. Of course, in other embodiments, the internal space of the protrusion 123 and the groove 132 can also be cylindrical, frustum-shaped, etc. The specific shape is not limited here, as long as the protrusion 123 can be effectively engaged in the groove 132, and the two can separate when the cap 130 is rotated.

[0064] Regarding the assembly of the screw cap 130 onto the main cap 120, this application proposes a specific embodiment, please refer to the figures again. Figure 3 and Figure 4 and further combine Figure 8 The cross-sectional structure shown has a raised boss 125 on the main cover 120, with a medicine outlet 121 located on the boss 125. The screw cap 130 is shaped to fit the boss 125 and covers it. A groove 1251 is formed on the outer periphery of the boss 125, and at least one slider 133 is provided on the inner periphery of the screw cap 130. The slider 133 is slidably embedded in the groove 1251. Specifically, the slider 133 can be an integral part of the screw cap 130, or it can be assembled and fixed by means of threaded fasteners, adhesive, snap-fit, etc.

[0065] This configuration allows for easy assembly of the cap 130 and the main cover 120. Simply attach the cap 130 to the boss 125 of the main cover 120 first, then press the cap 130 firmly to squeeze the slider 133 into the groove 1251. This ensures convenient assembly.

[0066] Furthermore, in order to improve the stability of the connection between the screw cap 130 and the main cap 120 without increasing assembly complexity, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a connecting hole 126 can be formed in the center of the main cover 120. An annular protrusion 1261 is provided on the inner wall of the connecting hole 126. A latch 134 protrudes from the center of the screw cap 130 facing the main cover 120. During the initial fastening of the screw cap 130 onto the protrusion 125, as mentioned above, the latch 134 needs to be simultaneously aligned with the connecting hole 126 and inserted. Then, during the process of pressing the screw cap 130 firmly to compress the slider 133 into the groove 1251, the latch 134 will simultaneously compress and fully enter the connecting hole 126, thus achieving the desired result. Figure 5 The annular protrusion 1261 forms a limiting engagement as shown. Through the limiting engagement of the slider 133 and the slide groove 1251, and the limiting engagement of the buckle 134 and the annular protrusion 1261, it is possible to better ensure that the cap 130 is not easily slipped off the main cap 120.

[0067] When the medication is not needed, to ensure the airtightness of the storage cavity 112, such as... Figure 2 As shown, a sliding cover 140 may be further provided on the side of the screw cap 130 away from the main cap 120. The sliding cover 140 can slide relative to the screw cap 130 to open or close the dispensing port 131.

[0068] In practical use, when medication is needed, first slide the sliding cover 140 to open the dispensing port 131, then rotate the cap 130 to align the dispensing port 131 with the corresponding dispensing port 121. The cap 130 is then held at the current angle by the engaging engagement of the protrusion 123 and the groove 132. The medication is then poured out of the corresponding storage chamber 112 by tilting and shaking. After taking the medication, slide the sliding cover 140 to close the dispensing port 131.

[0069] Similar to the limiting mechanism of the screw cap 130, to prevent the sliding cap 140 from slipping off during medication dispensing and causing the dispensing port 131 to close incorrectly, the sliding cap 140 needs to be held in place manually during medication dispensing. This also affects the user experience. Therefore, this application further incorporates a limiting and retaining design for the sliding cap 140; please refer to the details below. Figure 9 and Figure 10 The figure shows the exploded structure of the sliding cover 140 and the screw cover 130 from two different perspectives. As shown in the figure, the screw cover 130 has a first limiting groove 1351 and a second limiting groove 1352 spaced apart along the sliding direction of the sliding cover 140 (in the direction indicated by double arrow A in the figure). The sliding cover 140 is provided with an elastic plunger 141. Specifically, the elastic plunger 141 can be assembled and fixed to the sliding cover 140 by means of riveting, threaded connection, integral injection molding, etc. The end of the elastic plunger 141 has an elastic ball 1411. The elastic ball 1411 is in the extended state by default under the action of elastic force, and when the elastic ball 1411 is subjected to pressure, it will overcome the elastic force and retract inward.

[0070] When the sliding cover 140 slides to the position where the dispensing port 131 is completely closed, the elastic ball 1411 of the elastic plunger 141 engages with the first limiting groove 1351 to keep the sliding cover 140 in the current position, thereby reliably closing the dispensing port 131. When the sliding cover 140 slides to the position where the dispensing port 131 is completely open, the elastic plunger 141 engages with the second limiting groove 1352 to ensure that the sliding cover 140 will not slide incorrectly and close the dispensing port 131 when the container body 110 is tilted or shaken. When the sliding cover 140 slides between the open and closed states, the elastic ball 1411 of the elastic plunger 141 will retract inward under the force of the surface of the cap 130 to ensure that the sliding cover 140 can slide easily.

[0071] To facilitate user operation of the sliding cover 140, such as... Figure 9 As shown, the sliding cover 140 can be shaped with a raised center and recessed sides in the direction indicated by the double arrow A, and the surface of the recessed areas on both sides is provided with a rough structure 142. Specifically, the rough structure 142 can be the densely arranged small protrusions shown in the figure, or it can be raised or recessed anti-slip stripes, or a soft rubber pad with a relatively rough surface, etc. The specific details are not limited here.

[0072] By designing the slider 140 to have a raised center and recessed sides along the sliding direction, when a user needs to slide the slider 140, they can place two fingers on the recessed areas on both sides to pinch the raised center, and then easily apply force to push the slider 140 to slide. The rough structure 142 on the recessed areas on both sides increases the friction between the user's fingers and the surface of the slider 140, preventing the fingers from slipping when pushing the slider 140.

[0073] To facilitate operation, the cap 130 is rotated, such as Figure 9 As shown, a limiting wall 136 can be protruded on the screw cap 130, allowing the user to apply force to rotate the screw cap 130. Furthermore, the limiting wall 136 can surround the sliding cover 140, with a slide rail 1361 formed on the inner side of the limiting wall 136. A limiting block 143 is provided on the sliding cover 140, slidably connected to the slide rail 1361. Through the sliding and limiting cooperation between the limiting block 143 and the slide rail 1361, the sliding assembly of the sliding cover 140 and the screw cap 130 is achieved. Moreover, the limiting wall 136 can limit the maximum sliding stroke of the sliding cover 140, preventing the sliding cover 140 from slipping off.

[0074] For easy installation and removal of the main cover 120 from the container body 110, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 11 and Figure 12The figure shows the exploded structure of the container body 110 and the main cover 120 from two perspectives. As shown in the figure, the container body 110 is provided with an external thread 113, and the main cover 120 is provided with an internal thread 127. The main cover 120 is detachably connected to the external thread 113 of the container body 110 through its internal thread 127, thereby realizing the convenient installation and removal of the main cover 120 from the container body 110. After the main cover 120 is removed from the container body 110, the medicine can be easily loaded into the storage cavity 112 in the container body 110.

[0075] Furthermore, to ensure that after the main cover 120 is assembled and connected to the container body 110, the multiple medicine outlets 121 on the main cover 120 can be aligned one by one with the multiple storage cavities 112 in the container body 110, such as... Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, a first limiting part 1131 is provided at the end of the external thread 113, and a second limiting part 1271 is provided at the end of the internal thread 127. The first limiting part 1131 and the second limiting part 1271 can be a locking block and a locking groove as shown in the figure, and they achieve a limiting engagement by interlocking with each other. Of course, the first limiting part 1131 and the second limiting part 1271 can also be two magnetic components that achieve a limiting connection by magnetic attraction. When the internal thread 127 is screwed onto the external thread 113, and the first limiting part 1131 and the second limiting part 1271 are connected in a limiting manner, each medicine outlet 121 is exactly aligned with each storage cavity 112.

[0076] Of course, in some other embodiments, the main cover 120 can also be assembled onto the container body 110 by snap-fit ​​or other means, and the main cover 120 can be designed with a guide and limiting structure (such as mutually cooperating guide grooves and guide blocks) to ensure that after the main cover 120 is assembled onto the container body 110, each medicine outlet 121 is aligned with each storage cavity 112.

[0077] To facilitate the carrying and storage of the drug storage container 100, such as Figure 12 As shown, a latch 128 can be provided on one side of the main cover 120. The latch 128 can be used to connect a hanging rope. This not only enables the medicine storage container 100 to be hung and stored, but also allows the medicine storage container 100 to be conveniently carried by pulling the hanging rope by hand.

[0078] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and not to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the various technical features mentioned in the various embodiments can be combined in any way.
