[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a medicine sealed storage box, including a storage tray 1 and a reminder mechanism 4. The storage tray 1 has a compartment 2 inside, a fixing mechanism 3 inside, and a reminder mechanism 4 inside.

[0021] The reminder mechanism 4 includes a sealing strip 401, a first magnetic strip 402, an infrared sensor 403, a lid 404, a timer 405, an indicator light 406, a handle 407, and a second magnetic strip 408. The sealing strip 401 is adhesively connected to the top of the compartment 2, and the first magnetic strip 402 is fixedly connected to the top of the compartment 2. The infrared sensor 403 is installed inside the compartment 2. The lid 404 is hinged to the top of the compartment 2. The timer 405 and the indicator light 406 are installed on one side of the lid 404. The handle 407 is fixedly connected to one side of the lid 404, and the second magnetic strip 408 is fixedly connected to the other side of the lid 404. Through the arrangement of the sealing strip 401, the first magnetic strip 402, the infrared sensor 403, the lid 404, the timer 405, the indicator light 406, the handle 407, and the second magnetic strip 408, during use… The medication is placed inside compartment 2, and then the lid 404 is rotated to fit snugly against the top of compartment 2. Since the first magnetic strip 402 and the second magnetic strip 408 are aligned, they are magnetically connected. The lid 404 and compartment 2 are tightly sealed by the sealing strip 401. A timer 405 is then set according to the expiration date of the medication, at which point the indicator light 406 displays green. Because the timer 405 and indicator light 406 are electrically connected, as the timer 405 approaches the expiration date, the indicator light 406 becomes increasingly red, reminding medical staff of the expiration date of the medication inside compartment 2. When the infrared sensor 403 detects that the medication inside compartment 2 is depleted, the indicator light 406 displays blue, reminding medical staff to replenish the corresponding medication promptly.

[0022] Furthermore, the first magnetic strip 402 and the second magnetic strip 408 are aligned and magnetically connected. Through the arrangement of the first magnetic strip 402 and the second magnetic strip 408, they will be magnetically connected when they are in contact during use. At this time, the box cover 404 and the compartment 2 are tightly sealed by the sealing strip 401 to prevent dust from entering the interior of the compartment 2 and contaminating the medicine inside.

[0023] Furthermore, the infrared sensor 403 is electrically connected to the indicator light 406, and the timer 405 is electrically connected to the indicator light 406. The indicator light 406 is equipped with three colors: red, green, and blue. Through the settings of the infrared sensor 403, during use, the infrared sensor 403 can sense the status of the medicine inside the compartment 2. When the medicine inside the compartment 2 is used up, the indicator light 406 can display blue to remind medical staff.

[0024] Furthermore, the fixing mechanism 3 includes a placement groove 301, a first spring 302, a movable groove 303, a sliding groove 304, a limiting groove 305, a lifting groove 306, a support plate 307, a limiting block 308, a second spring 309, and a wrench 310. The storage tray 1 has a placement groove 301 inside, the first spring 302 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the storage tray 1, the storage tray 1 has a movable groove 303 inside, a sliding groove 304 is provided on one side of the surface of the storage tray 1, a limiting groove 305 is provided on one side of the surface of the partition box 2, and a lifting groove 306 is provided on one side of the surface of the partition box 2. 06. The other end of the first spring 302 is fixedly connected to a support plate 307. A limiting block 308 is fitted inside the movable groove 303. One end of the limiting block 308 is fixedly connected to a second spring 309. A wrench 310 is fixedly connected to one side of the surface of the limiting block 308. Through the arrangement of the placement groove 301, the first spring 302, the movable groove 303, the sliding groove 304, the limiting groove 305, the lifting groove 306, the support plate 307, the limiting block 308, the second spring 309, and the wrench 310, when the partition box 2 is placed inside the storage tray 1, it can be... The partition 2 is placed inside the placement slot 301, and then the partition 2 is pressed down. At this time, the partition 2 squeezes the limiting block 308 and moves it into the movable slot 303. The limiting block 308 squeezes the second spring 309, causing the second spring 309 to compress and deform. At the same time, the partition 2 squeezes the support plate 307, causing the first spring 302 to compress and deform. When the limiting slot 305 and the movable slot 303 are aligned, the second spring 309 rebounds and causes the limiting block 308 to return to its original position. At this time, one end of the limiting block 308 is engaged inside the movable slot 303. One end is fitted into the inside of the limiting groove 305, so the limiting block 308 fixes the partition box 2 inside the placement groove 301. When it is necessary to remove the partition box 2, the wrench 310 is turned. The wrench 310 drives the limiting block 308 to move into the movable groove 303. When one end of the limiting block 308 is disengaged from the inside of the limiting groove 305, the limiting block 308 loses its limiting effect on the partition box 2. At this time, the first spring 302 rebounds and deforms. The rebounding first spring 302 drives the support plate 307 to push the partition box 2, and then the partition box 2 is taken out through the lifting groove 306.

[0025] Furthermore, the first spring 302 is provided in two sets, and the support plate 307 is provided inside the placement groove 301. With the provision of the first spring 302, when the first spring 302 rebounds and deforms during use, it can push the partition box 2 through the support plate 307, thereby making it convenient for medical staff to take the partition box 2 out of the placement groove 301.

[0026] Furthermore, the movable groove 303 is connected to the sliding groove 304, and the other end of the limiting block 308 is fitted inside the limiting groove 305. With the setting of the limiting block 308, when one end of the limiting block 308 is fitted inside the movable groove 303 and the other end is fitted inside the limiting groove 305, the limiting block 308 can fix the partition box 2 inside the placement groove 301.

[0027] Furthermore, the second spring 309 is disposed inside the movable groove 303. One end of the second spring 309 is fixedly connected to the storage tray 1, and one end of the wrench 310 passes through the sliding groove 304. With the setting of the second spring 309, when the second spring 309 rebounds and deforms during use, it can drive the limiting block 308 to return to its original position, so that one end of the limiting block 308 is fitted into the limiting groove 305.

[0028] Working principle: When the partition box 2 is placed inside the storage tray 1, it can be placed inside the placement slot 301. Then, press the partition box 2 down. At this time, the partition box 2 squeezes the limiting block 308 and moves it into the movable slot 303. The limiting block 308 squeezes the second spring 309, causing the second spring 309 to deform. At the same time, the partition box 2 squeezes the support plate 307, causing the first spring 302 to deform. When the limiting slot 305 and the movable slot 303 are aligned, the second spring 309 rebounds. The variable displacement causes the limiting block 308 to return to its original position. At this time, one end of the limiting block 308 is engaged inside the movable groove 303, and the other end is engaged inside the limiting groove 305. Thus, the limiting block 308 fixes the partition 2 inside the placement groove 301. When it is necessary to remove the partition 2, the wrench 310 is turned. The wrench 310 causes the limiting block 308 to move into the movable groove 303. When one end of the limiting block 308 disengages from the limiting groove 305, the limiting block 308 loses its limiting function on the partition 2. When the first spring 302 rebounds, it drives the support plate 307 to push the compartment 2. Then, the compartment 2 is taken out through the lifting groove 306, and the medicine is placed inside the compartment 2. Then, the box cover 404 is rotated so that the box cover 404 fits against the top of the compartment 2. Since the first magnetic strip 402 and the second magnetic strip 408 are aligned, the first magnetic strip 402 and the second magnetic strip 408 are magnetically connected at this time. The box cover 404 and the compartment 2 are tightly fitted by the sealing strip 401. Then, the timer 405 is used to determine the time according to the time. The shelf life of the placed medications is set at a specific time. At this time, the indicator light 406 displays green. Since the timer 405 is electrically connected to the indicator light 406, as the time set by the timer 405 gets closer to the expiration date, the indicator light 406 becomes increasingly red, thus reminding medical staff of the current usage period of the medications in compartment 2. When the infrared sensor 403 detects that the medications in compartment 2 have been used up, the indicator light 406 displays blue, thus reminding medical staff to add the corresponding medications in time.

[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
