Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical and health technology, specifically a manual dispensing medicine box device. Background Technology
[0002] In my country, the aging population is accelerating. This has led to a significant increase in the number of elderly patients, resulting in a rapidly growing patient population requiring medication. Simultaneously, modern medicine is booming, with increasingly diverse treatment methods and frequent breakthroughs in new drug development. A wide variety of medications are available for treating various diseases, each with unique dosage requirements. Furthermore, dosages often need to be adjusted according to changes in the patient's condition during treatment. For ordinary patients, remembering complex dosages and subsequent dosage changes is quite challenging, but the difficulties are even more pronounced for elderly patients. As people age, their cognitive function gradually declines, making it increasingly difficult to remember medication dosages and dosage adjustment information. Forgetting the correct dosage or failing to follow medical advice regarding dosage changes can significantly reduce the effectiveness of treatment. In severe cases, it can even trigger adverse reactions, threatening the health of the elderly.
[0003] Currently, medicine boxes are available on the market, but some are cumbersome and difficult to operate; others store small amounts of medicine, requiring repeated refills, and lack a designated storage area for refills. Furthermore, daily medication storage is often handled by a single person, and if someone else is in charge, they are completely unaware of the dosage and frequency of administration. Some medicine boxes fail to maintain good sealing after opening due to inadequate lid design, and some lack clear markings or distinctive features. Elderly individuals with declining memory often forget where they placed their medicine boxes, leading to inconvenience and disrupting normal treatment. Currently, due to limitations in medicine box design and a lack of awareness of their importance, medicine boxes are not widely used in daily life. Therefore, we propose a manual dispensing medicine box device to address these problems. Utility Model Content

[0017] Beneficial effects:
[0018] This invention divides the medicine box into upper and lower layers using a partition. The upper layer has seven magnetically connected storage boxes, arranged from left to right to represent Monday to Sunday, for storing a week's dose. Each storage box contains several dividers for daily doses, which can be freely installed according to dosage frequency. The lower layer is a storage area for storing the corresponding large packages of medicine from the upper layer. A transparent sticky note cover on the dust cover allows for inserting sticky notes with usage and dosage instructions. When a week's dose is finished, anyone can help refill the medicine box. An alarm clock displays the day of the week and the time, and a flashing LED strip can be used. The alarm clock has both audible and visual alerts.

The first T-shaped rod 18 is snapped into the corresponding first slot 16. A rectangular... A rectangular hole has a baffle 20 rotatably connected to its inner wall. A partition 7 divides the medicine box body 1 into an upper and lower layer. Seven magnetically connected storage boxes 10 on the upper layer, arranged from left to right to represent Monday to Sunday, are used to store a week's dose. Several dividers 13 are installed inside the storage boxes 10 for daily doses, and the dividers 13 can be freely installed according to the frequency of administration. The lower layer is a storage area for storing the corresponding large packages of medicines from the upper layer. A transparent sticky note cover 21 on the dust cover 2 allows for the insertion of sticky notes recording usage and dosage. This allows anyone to help reload the medicine when a week's dose is used up. An alarm clock 3 displays the time and shows today's information. The day of the week and time are indicated by the flashing light strip 4. The alarm clock 3 can be set with both sound and light alerts, providing dual audio and visual cues. When the lid is opened, the alarm clock 3 is automatically turned off via the controller 6, at which point the light and alarm are switched off. This greatly enhances the flexibility of the medicine box, allowing for accurate loading of medication dosages and frequency of administration based on the patient's condition and doctor's orders. When the condition changes, medications can be reloaded at any time to meet dynamic treatment needs, significantly improving patient medication adherence and ensuring continuous and effective treatment.

[0030] In some embodiments, the first spring 19 is movably sleeved on the corresponding first T-shaped rod 18.
[0031] In some embodiments, a transparent memo cover 21 is fixedly connected to the top inner wall of the dust cover 2, and a handle 22 is fixedly connected to the front side of the dust cover 2.
[0032] In some embodiments, a fixing block 23 is fixedly connected to the front side of the baffle 20, and a second slot 24 is provided on both sides of the fixing block 23. The baffle 20 serves to block the block.
[0033] In some embodiments, two blocks 25 are fixedly connected to the front side of the medicine box body 1. The blocks 25 are provided with a second T-shaped rod 26, which is engaged with the corresponding second slot 24.
[0034] In some embodiments, a second spring 27 is fixedly connected between one inner wall of the second T-shaped rod 26 and one side of the corresponding block 25. The second spring 27 is movably sleeved on the corresponding second T-shaped rod 26, and the second T-shaped rod 26 serves to fix the block.
[0035] In some embodiments, the front side of the medicine box body 1 is provided with two buckles 28, and the medicine box body 1 is fastened to the dust cover 2 by the buckles 28. The alarm clock 3, the colored light strip 4, the storage battery 5 and the controller 6 are electrically connected by conductive lines.
[0036] The working principle or structural principle is as follows: During use, the medicine box body 1 is divided into upper and lower layers by the partition plate 7. The upper layer has seven magnetically connected storage boxes 10, arranged from left to right to represent Monday to Sunday, used to store a week's dose. Several partitions 13 are installed inside each storage box 10 for daily divided doses. The partitions 13 can be freely installed according to the frequency of medication. Pulling the first T-shaped rod 18 stretches the first spring 19 during its movement, causing the first T-shaped rod 18 to separate from the corresponding first slot 16, thus opening the cover 14 to remove the medicine from the storage box 10. The lower layer is the storage area. Pulling the second T-shaped rod 26 stretches the second spring 27 during its movement, causing the second T-shaped rod 26 to separate from the corresponding second slot 24. Then, the baffle 20 is opened, allowing the stored medicine to be placed into the corresponding storage box 10 for storage. The upper layer contains corresponding large-package medications in different dosages. A transparent sticky note cover 21 on the dust cover 2 allows for the insertion of sticky notes recording usage and dosage. This allows anyone to help reload the medication when a week's supply is used up. An alarm clock 3 displays the day of the week and the time. A colored light bar 4 can flash. The alarm clock 3 can be set with both audible and visual alerts. When the cover is opened, the controller 6 automatically shuts off the alarm clock 3, turning off the lights and stopping the alarm. This significantly improves the flexibility of the medicine box, allowing for accurate loading of medication dosages and frequency of administration based on the patient's condition and doctor's orders. Medication can be reloaded at any time when the condition changes, meeting dynamic treatment needs and significantly improving patient medication adherence. This ensures continuous and effective treatment. In the face of an aging population and increasingly complex medication use, this significantly reduces the incidence of medication errors and greatly improves medication adherence and continuity for elderly patients.
