Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medicine crusher technology, specifically a medicine crusher with a cleaning function. Background Technology

[0002] When caring for oncology patients, who are often weak and have difficulty swallowing pills, it is necessary to crush the pills into powder before administering them. Manually crushing pills usually involves using a hard object to break them down, but during this process, fragments are easily scattered and difficult to collect, resulting in pill loss.

[0003] Chinese patent CN221619555U discloses a method for shredding medication for tumor care. This utility model includes a support frame, a vertical rod slidably connected to the top of the support frame, a spring fitted into the outer wall of the vertical rod with a gap, one end of the spring being fixed to the vertical rod and the support frame respectively, a motor mounted at the bottom of the vertical rod, a grinding disc mounted at the motor's output end, a rope rotatably connected to the motor via a connecting shaft, a rod rotatably connected to the rope via the connecting shaft, a slide rail slidably connected to the rod, the slide rail being fixed to the support frame, a bolt threaded onto the rod, the bolt being threadedly connected to the slide rail, and a wheel fitted to the outer wall of the rope, the wheel being rotatably connected to the support frame via a connecting shaft.

[0004] Although this utility model uses a grinding disc to crush tablets, its design is flawed because the opening of the medicine bowl is not sealed, causing tablet fragments or powder to spill out during the crushing process, resulting in tablet loss. In addition, after crushing, tablet fragments or powder easily adhere to the grinding disc, and the device does not have a cleaning component to recover the fragments or powder adhering to the grinding disc, further causing tablet loss. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a medicine crusher with a cleaning function to solve the above problems.

[0006] A medicine crusher with a cleaning function includes:

[0007] A base, on the upper end of which a housing is fixedly installed;

[0008] A crushing container, threadedly fitted inside a base, wherein the outer surface of the crushing container is in contact with the inner surface of the outer shell;

[0009] A rotating structure is mounted on the outer surface of the base;

[0010] A sealing cap is movably abutted against the upper end of the crushing container. Several connecting rods are evenly and fixedly installed inside the sealing cap, and a crushing plate is fixedly installed at the lower end of the connecting rods.

[0011] A cleaning assembly is disposed at the upper end of a connecting rod. The cleaning assembly includes a connecting plate, which is fixedly installed at the upper end of the connecting rod. A housing is fixedly installed between the connecting plate and the sealing cover. A rotating ring is rotatably installed at the lower end of the housing. Several elastic elements are evenly fixedly installed at the upper end of the rotating ring. An assisting ring is fixedly installed at the upper end of the elastic elements. A rotating shaft is fixedly installed at the lower end of the assisting ring. The rotating shaft moves through the rotating ring, the sealing cover, and the crushing plate. A scraper is fixedly installed at the lower end of the rotating shaft.

[0012] Furthermore, the cleaning component has a groove at its lower end, and the scraper is movably disposed inside the groove.

[0013] Furthermore, an mounting plate is fixedly installed on the upper end of the connecting plate, and the assist ring is movably inserted inside the mounting plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the rotating structure includes a mounting ring threaded onto the outer surface of the base, and a hanger is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the mounting ring.

[0015] Furthermore, a rotating rod is rotatably mounted on the lower end of the hanger, and a limiting ring is fixedly mounted on the lower end of the rotating rod. The limiting ring is assembled with the mounting plate by a number of mounting pins. The limiting ring is sleeved on the outer surface of the assist ring, and the limiting ring and the assist ring are assembled by a limiting bolt thread.

[0016] Furthermore, a stepper motor is fixedly installed on the upper end of the hanger, and the output end of the stepper motor is fixedly connected to the rotating rod through a coupling.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] This invention allows medical personnel to disassemble the rotating structure, lift the sealing cap upwards so that it is 2-5 cm above the crushing container, and then press the assist ring to compress the elastic element. The assist ring moves downwards, thereby driving the rotating shaft downwards, which in turn moves the scraper downwards out of the groove until the upper end of the scraper is flush with the lower end of the crushing plate. Rotating the assist ring further drives the rotating shaft and scraper to rotate, causing the scraper to rotate at the lower end of the crushing plate to scrape off the powder adhering to the lower end of the crushing plate, allowing the powder to fall into the crushing container. The cleaning component ensures that the powder is collected back into the crushing container to the maximum extent, reducing tablet waste. Furthermore, the sealing cap prevents tablet fragments or powder from escaping the crushing container during tablet crushing, thus avoiding tablet loss. Attached Figure Description

[0028] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 6 As shown:

[0029] Example 1: This utility model provides a medicine crusher with a cleaning function, comprising:

[0030] Base 1, with outer shell 2 fixedly installed on the upper end of base 1;

[0031] The crushing container 3 is threadedly fitted inside the base 1, and the outer surface of the crushing container 3 is in contact with the inner surface of the outer shell 2;

[0032] Rotating structure 4 is mounted on the outer surface of base 1;

[0033] The sealing cover 5 is movably abutted against the upper end of the crushing container 3. Several connecting rods 6 are evenly and fixedly installed inside the sealing cover 5, and a crushing plate 7 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the connecting rods 6.

[0034] Cleaning component 8 is located on the upper end of connecting rod 6. Cleaning component 8 includes connecting plate 81, which is fixedly installed on the upper end of connecting rod 6. A housing 84 is fixedly installed between connecting plate 81 and sealing cover 5. A rotating ring 86 is rotatably installed on the lower end of housing 84. Several elastic elements 85 are evenly fixedly installed on the upper end of rotating ring 86. An assist ring 83 is fixedly installed on the upper end of elastic elements 85.

[0035] A mounting plate 82 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the connecting plate 81, and the assist ring 83 is movably inserted inside the mounting plate 82.

[0036] The rotating structure 4 includes a mounting ring 41 threaded onto the outer surface of the base 1, and a hanger 42 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the mounting ring 41.

[0037] A rotating rod 44 is rotatably mounted on the lower end of the hanger 42. A limiting ring 45 is fixedly mounted on the lower end of the rotating rod 44. The limiting ring 45 is assembled with the mounting plate 82 through several mounting pins 46. The limiting ring 45 is sleeved on the outer surface of the assist ring 83. The limiting ring 45 and the assist ring 83 are threaded together by a limiting bolt 47.

[0038] A stepper motor 43 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the hanger 42, and the output end of the stepper motor 43 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 44 through a coupling.

[0039] As shown above, when medical staff use the device, they place the tumor patient's pills inside the crushing container 3. The limiting ring 45 is then installed on the upper end of the mounting plate 82 using the mounting pin 46. At this time, the limiting ring 45 is fitted over the assisting ring 83. The limiting ring 45 and the assisting ring 83 are connected using the limiting bolt 47. At this point, the rotating structure 4, sealing cover 5, connecting rod 6, crushing plate 7, and cleaning assembly 8 form a single unit. The connecting rod 6 and crushing plate 7 are placed inside the crushing container 3, with the sealing cover 5 positioned at the upper end of the crushing container 3 to seal the opening. The mounting ring 41 is then threaded and rotated onto the outside of the base 1, thus installing the rotating structure 4, sealing cover 5, connecting rod 6, crushing plate 7, and cleaning assembly 8 onto the base 1 and the crushing container 3.

[0040] When crushing the medicine, the stepper motor 43 is started, which drives the rotating rod 44 to rotate, thereby driving the sealing cover 5, connecting rod 6, crushing plate 7 and cleaning component 8 to rotate. The crushing plate 7 rotates and crushes the medicine tablets, thereby crushing the medicine tablets. The base 1, outer shell 2 and crushing container 3 are all made of transparent material, which is conducive to medical staff observing the crushing of the medicine tablets.

[0041] After the tablet is broken, the rotating structure 4 can be disassembled by removing the mounting pin 46 and the limit bolt 47. Then, the cleaning component 8 can be used to clean the broken tablet plate 7 to avoid wasting the powder.

[0042] Example 2: This is the second embodiment of the present invention, including:

[0043] Base 1, with outer shell 2 fixedly installed on the upper end of base 1;

[0044] The crushing container 3 is threadedly fitted inside the base 1, and the outer surface of the crushing container 3 is in contact with the inner surface of the outer shell 2;

[0045] Rotating structure 4 is mounted on the outer surface of base 1;

[0046] The sealing cover 5 is movably abutted against the upper end of the crushing container 3. Several connecting rods 6 are evenly and fixedly installed inside the sealing cover 5, and a crushing plate 7 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the connecting rods 6.

[0047] The cleaning component 8 is located on the upper end of the connecting rod 6. The cleaning component 8 includes a connecting plate 81, which is fixedly installed on the upper end of the connecting rod 6. A housing 84 is fixedly installed between the connecting plate 81 and the sealing cover 5. A rotating ring 86 is rotatably installed at the lower end of the housing 84. Several elastic elements 85 are evenly fixedly installed on the upper end of the rotating ring 86. An assisting ring 83 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the elastic elements 85. A rotating shaft 87 is fixedly installed on the lower end of the assisting ring 83. The rotating shaft 87 moves through the rotating ring 86, the sealing cover 5, and the crushing plate 7. A scraper 88 is fixedly installed on the lower end of the rotating shaft 87.

[0048] The cleaning component 8 has a groove 89 at its lower end, and the scraper 88 is movably disposed inside the groove 89.

[0049] A mounting plate 82 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the connecting plate 81, and the assist ring 83 is movably inserted inside the mounting plate 82.

[0050] As can be seen from the above, after the tablet is broken, the rotating structure 4 is disassembled. Medical staff pull the sealing cover 5 upwards so that the sealing cover 5 is 2-5 cm above the crushing container 3. Then, the assist ring 83 is pressed to compress the elastic element 85, and the assist ring 83 moves downwards, thereby driving the rotating shaft 87 to move downwards. This further drives the scraper 88 to move downwards out of the groove 89. The upper end of the scraper 88 is flush with the lower end of the crushing plate 7. Then, the assist ring 83 is rotated, which further drives the rotating shaft 87 and the scraper 88 to rotate, so that the scraper 88 rotates at the lower end of the crushing plate 7 to scrape and clean the powder adhering to the lower end of the crushing plate 7, so that the powder falls into the crushing container 3. By setting the cleaning component 8, it is ensured that the powder can be collected back into the crushing container 3 to the maximum extent, reducing the waste of tablets. Secondly, by setting the sealing cover 5, it is possible to prevent tablet fragments or powder from escaping from the crushing container 3 when the tablet is broken, thus avoiding tablet loss.

[0051] Example 3: This is the third embodiment of the present invention. Combining Example 1 and Example 2, the device is applied to a real-world scenario. Patients hospitalized in the oncology department suffer from long-term pain, resulting in poor swallowing ability. When being fed pills, they may choke on water or medicine, or even aspirate into the trachea in severe cases. Considering these risks, medical staff need to crush the pills before feeding them to cancer patients to improve the safety of the medication. By using this device, after crushing the pills, the powder adhering to the lower end of the crushed pill plate 7 can be cleaned up and recycled, thereby avoiding waste of the powder.
