[0019] Example 1

[0020] The hospital pharmacy tablet dispenser described in this embodiment, such as... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it includes a horizontally arranged base 1, and a medicine box 10 is detachably installed inside the base 1. The medicine box 10 is installed inside the base 1 to receive the divided tablets.

[0021] The top of the base 1 has a downward-facing slot that communicates with the medicine box 10. After the tablets are cut, they fall into the medicine box 10 through the slot at the top of the base 1 for collection and temporary storage.

[0022] Both sides of the through groove are vertically fixed with fixing plates 3. The fixing plates 3 are fixed to the top of the base 1. The two fixing plates 3 are located on the front and rear sides of the top of the base 1 respectively. The two fixing plates 3 are distributed horizontally in front and behind. The through groove of the base 1 is located between the two fixing plates 3.

[0023] Both inner walls of the two fixing plates 3 are fixed with baffles 6 by connecting plates 14. The front side wall of the front baffle 6 is fixed to the rear end of the front connecting plate 14, the front end of the front connecting plate 14 is fixed to the rear side wall of the front fixing plate 3, the rear side wall of the rear baffle 6 is fixed to the front end of the rear connecting plate 14, and the rear end of the rear connecting plate 14 is fixed to the front side wall of the rear fixing plate 3. The two connecting plates 14 provide support for the two baffles 6.

[0024] Two baffles 6 are horizontally provided at the bottom with movable plates 8 for controlling the opening and closing of the through slot. The movable plates 8 are located at the slot opening. The tablets are placed on the top of the movable plates 8 for splitting. The movable plates 8 slide back and forth along the top of the base 1. The through slot is exposed by pulling the movable plates 8, and the split tablets fall into the medicine box 10 through the through slot.

[0025] The two baffles 6 are symmetrical about the center line of the movable plate 8. The two baffles 6 are located on the front and back sides of the movable plate 8 respectively, and are symmetrical about the long center line of the movable plate 8. The two baffles 6 hold the tablet on the center line of the movable plate 8.

[0026] Two baffles 6 form an "eight" shaped structure with the opening facing right. The tablet is placed between the two baffles 6, and the two baffles 6 prevent the tablet from sliding on the movable plate 8, thus splitting the tablet.

[0027] The top of the base 1 has an inclined structure with the left side lower than the right side. When the tablet is placed between the two baffles 6, it slides to the left along the inclined top of the base 1 and moves to the left end of the baffle 6. The blade 4 rotates counterclockwise to cut downwards. When the blade of the blade 4 contacts the tablet, it also pushes the tablet to the left. With the obstruction of the movable plate 8 and the two baffles 6, and in conjunction with the downward cutting direction of the blade 4, the tablet is limited to the left end of the two baffles 6, preventing the tablet from sliding during the cutting process.

[0028] A blade 4 is vertically arranged between two baffles 6 and between two fixed plates 3. The blade 4 is vertically arranged between two fixed plates 3 and is used to cut and limit the tablets between the two fixed plates 3.

[0029] A cover plate 2 is provided on the top of the base 1. The blade 4 is detachably installed at the bottom of the cover plate 2. A hinge seat 9 is vertically installed on the right end of the base 1. The right end of the cover plate 2 is hinged to the hinge seat 9. The hinge seat 9 is installed on the right end of the top of the base 1. By holding the left end of the cover plate 2, the cover plate 2 is driven to rotate. When the cover plate 2 rotates, it drives the blade 4 to rotate and cut the tablet. This paragraph as a whole constitutes the driving component for driving the blade 4 to cut the tablet. Of course, the driving component can also install a retaining ring on the left side wall of the base 1. After the cover plate 2 rotates counterclockwise to complete the cutting, the left end of the cover plate 2 is fixed to the left side wall of the base 1 by the retaining ring to prevent the cover plate 2 from unfolding when the base 1 is moved, and to prevent the user from being cut by the blade 4.

[0030] In this embodiment, the base 1 is placed on a table, and the movable plate 8 is pushed to seal the top slot of the base 1. The tablet to be divided is placed between the two baffles 6. The tablet slides to the left end of the inclined top of the base 1 to the left end of the baffle 6. The blade 4 is pressed down by rotating the drive assembly. When the blade 4 contacts the tablet, it also pushes the tablet to the left. Under the obstruction of the movable plate 8 and the two baffles 6, and with the downward cutting direction of the blade 4, the tablet is limited to the left end of the two baffles 6 to prevent the tablet from sliding during the division. Finally, the tablet is cut by the blade 4. After the cutting is completed, the movable plate 8 is pulled out from the top of the base 1, and the divided tablets fall into the medicine box 10 for collection and temporary storage.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] This embodiment further illustrates the technology, such as Figure 3 As shown, the distance between the left ends of the two baffles 6 is less than the diameter of the tablet. The tablet moves between the two baffles 6. The two baffles 6 with an "eight" shape can meet the limiting requirements of tablets of different diameters. When the tablet moves to the gap on the left side of the two baffles 6, the two baffles 6 block the tablet.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the movable plate 8 has an upper-level clearance groove 7 at its center line. The clearance groove 7 is located at the long center line of the movable plate 8. When the blade 4 rotates counterclockwise to cut downwards, the blade of the blade 4 passes through the tablet and inserts into the clearance groove 7, preventing the movable plate 8 from blocking the movement of the blade 4 and ensuring that the blade 4 completes the cutting of the tablet.

[0034] Example 3

[0035] This embodiment further illustrates the technology, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the front fixed plate 3 has a sliding groove that connects the front and rear sides. The movable plate 8 is independently installed in the sliding groove. After the front end of the movable plate 8 passes through the sliding groove, an extension plate 12 is fixed thereon. The movable plate 8 slides back and forth along the sliding groove. When the rear end of the movable plate 8 moves to contact the rear fixed plate 3, it blocks the through groove at the top of the base 1 for the division of the tablets. When the movable plate 8 is pulled forward out of the sliding groove by the extension plate 12, the through groove at the top of the base 1 opens, and the divided tablets fall into the medicine box 10.

[0036] Example 4

[0037] This embodiment further illustrates the technology, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, two mounting blocks 5 are installed at the bottom of the cover plate 2. The bottom of the mounting block 5 has an upward-facing groove. The upper end of the blade 4 is inserted into the groove. The front side wall of the mounting block 5 has a threaded hole with the same groove. A bolt that is threaded to the bolt is inserted into the threaded hole and tightens the blade 4. The blade 4 is installed on the mounting block 5. When the blade 4 needs to be replaced, the bolt is removed from the threaded hole and the blade 4 is removed from the groove.

[0038] Example 5

[0039] This embodiment further illustrates the technology, such as Figure 1 As shown, the front side wall of the base 1 has a notch at the rear. The medicine box 10 is installed in the notch. At least two partitions 11 are vertically fixed inside the medicine box 10. The partitions 11 divide the internal space of the medicine box 10 into several parts. The partitions 11 are adjusted according to the number of baffles 6. The cavity of the medicine box 10 after being divided by the partitions 11 is directly opposite the baffles 6. After the pills are cut, they are collected in the medicine box 10. When the medicine needs to be taken out, the medicine box 10 can be pulled out of the base 1.
