Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medicine box technology, and in particular discloses a convenient and easy-to-assemble multifunctional medicine box. Background Technology

[0002] In daily life and medical settings, pillboxes are essential tools for storing medications, and their ease of use and functionality are paramount. Existing pillboxes often have a simple structure, are inconvenient to assemble and disassemble, make it difficult to quickly locate and retrieve medications, and lack practical functional designs. Therefore, there is an urgent need in the market for a convenient, multifunctional pillbox that is easy to assemble and disassemble, possesses multiple practical functions, and enhances the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a convenient and easy-to-assemble multifunctional medicine box.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a convenient and easy-to-assemble multifunctional medicine box, including a box body and a box lid. The box body has a container cavity for holding pills or granules from the outside. The box lid is flexibly connected to the box body so that the box lid can cover the opening of the container cavity. The side wall of the box body is provided with a first recessed portion, and a stop portion is provided above the first recessed portion. The box lid includes a cover body and a closing portion provided on the edge of the cover body. The end of the cover body away from the closing portion is flexibly connected to the box body. The closing portion includes a first protrusion and a second protrusion integrally formed with the first protrusion. The second protrusion is provided on the first protrusion to form a locking portion together. The box lid is engaged with the stop portion of the box body through the locking portion of the cover body.

[0005] The lid and body are engaged by a locking mechanism and a stop, making assembly and disassembly convenient and allowing users to quickly open and close the lid to retrieve medications. The one-piece molded lid structure enhances overall strength and stability. Specifically, the side wall of the body has a first recess and a stop, while the edge of the lid has a locking mechanism consisting of a first protrusion and a vertical second protrusion. These two components engage to connect the lid and body. This structural design simplifies the structure, reduces production costs, and facilitates manufacturing and assembly while ensuring a stable connection, effectively meeting daily usage needs.

[0006] The box is equipped with multiple sets of partitions. The material receiving cavity is the first receiving cavity set in the box. The multiple sets of partitions are arranged in a cross pattern, and the multiple partitions divide the first receiving cavity of the box into multiple second receiving cavities.

[0007] Multiple partitions divide the first accommodating cavity into multiple second accommodating cavities, enabling the classified storage of medicines, avoiding mixing and contamination of different medicines, facilitating users to quickly find the medicines they need, improving medicine retrieval efficiency, and also facilitating the orderly management of medicines.

[0008] The second protrusion has multiple sets of finger buckle parts on its inner side, each finger buckle part has a first groove, and the bottom surface of the finger buckle part is an inclined bottom surface.

[0009] Multiple finger-operated grips provide users with leverage points to open the lid, facilitating the application of force. The design of the first groove conforms to the shape of the fingers, increasing the contact area between the fingers and the grips and improving grip stability. The sloping bottom surface is more ergonomic, making it more comfortable and effortless for the fingers to operate, and making it easier to open the lid. In practice, multiple finger-operated grips are strategically arranged and set on the inner side of the second protrusion. The first groove is designed according to the natural curvature of human fingers, and the bottom surface of the grips is machined into a sloping state. When the user needs to open the lid, they place their fingers into the first groove, and the sloping bottom surface guides the application of external force to open the lid smoothly.

[0010] The second protrusion has a guide rib in the middle of its inner side. The guide rib is arc-shaped and is used to slide against the stop.

[0011] When the lid closes onto the box body around the rotating joint, the arc-shaped guide rib on the inner side of the second protrusion first contacts the surface of the stop. As the closing action progresses, the guide rib slides along the surface of the stop and generates guiding force, guiding the locking part to accurately align with the recess. During the locking process, the curved surface structure of the arc-shaped guide rib can disperse contact stress, avoiding excessive local force that could lead to wear. At the same time, its sliding trajectory matches the rotation trajectory of the lid, making the closing action smoother. This structure not only improves the assembly accuracy of the medicine box when closing and reduces the probability of misoperation, but also reduces frictional resistance and component wear through the arc design, extending the service life of the medicine box. Especially in scenarios with frequent opening and closing, it can effectively maintain the stability and reliability of the locking structure.

[0012] The outer sidewall of the box body is recessed inward, and a first protrusion is provided on the second recess, which is located at the edge of the free end of the box body.

[0013] The second recess on the outer sidewall of the box provides a comfortable grip for the user. When carrying or opening the box, fingers can naturally fit into the recess, and the first raised strip on the edge increases friction to prevent slippage. During the closing or opening of the lid, the second recess makes it easier to control the force applied, preventing the box from tilting or the medicine from shaking due to an unstable grip. This structure improves both the comfort and stability of holding the box, and enhances operational safety through the anti-slip design of the first raised strip. It is especially suitable for people with weaker hand strength. Furthermore, the combination of the recess and the raised strip does not occupy internal space and does not affect the medicine storage capacity.

[0014] A flexible structure is provided between the box body and the box lid. One end of the flexible structure is integrally formed with the box body, and the other end is integrally formed with the box lid.

[0015] The flexible structure is made of a soft material.

[0016] The flexible structure includes a first rotating part connected to the box body, a second rotating part connected to the cover body, and a third rotating part, with the two ends of the third rotating part being integrally formed with the first rotating part and the second rotating part, respectively.

[0017] The thickness of the third rotating part is less than the thickness of the first rotating part and the second rotating part.

[0018] The box body and lid are connected by a flexible structure, which is integrally molded from a soft material. The first rotating part connects to the box body, the second rotating part connects to the lid, and a thinner third rotating part provides a transition. When the lid is opened or closed, the thinner third rotating part is more prone to bending and deformation, causing the first and second rotating parts to rotate relative to each other, allowing the lid to flip smoothly. This one-piece molding design eliminates assembly steps, improving production efficiency. The combination of the soft material and the thin third rotating part ensures both rotational flexibility and enhances the durability of the connection structure, preventing breakage from frequent opening and closing. Furthermore, the integrated connection of the flexible structure with the box body and lid reduces gaps, lowering the probability of dust accumulation and balancing practicality and ease of cleaning.

[0019] The outer side of the box lid is coated with a glow-in-the-dark marking paint.

[0020] The luminescent coating on the outside of the box lid absorbs and stores light energy in normal lighting conditions. In dark environments (such as nighttime), the coating continuously emits fluorescence, forming a clearly visible outline. Users can quickly locate the medicine box without additional lighting, significantly reducing search time, especially in emergency situations. This design achieves self-illumination through light energy conversion, eliminating the need for batteries or other energy sources. This reduces operating costs and avoids potential malfunctions associated with traditional electronic lighting. Furthermore, the luminescent coating process is simple and cost-effective, suitable for mass production, providing convenience and reliability for the medicine box in low-light environments.

[0021] A silicone strip is provided at the bottom of the stop part. When the lid is closed, the silicone strip at the bottom of the stop part contacts the inner side of the second protrusion of the locking part. After the locking part and the stop part are engaged, the silicone strip is compressed and undergoes elastic deformation, filling the gap between them to enhance the sealing performance. At the same time, during the opening and closing of the lid, the sliding contact between the silicone strip and the second protrusion can buffer the collision and reduce friction noise. This structure, through the elastic properties of the silicone strip, not only improves the leak-proof and moisture-proof performance of the medicine box after it is closed, protecting the medicine from moisture and deterioration, but also reduces the wear and noise caused by repeated contact of the locking structure, extending the service life of the components. It is especially suitable for scenarios where sealing and quiet operation are required.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This easy-to-assemble and disassemble multifunctional medicine box achieves convenient operation and multifunctional integration through a modular structural design: the snap-fit ​​connection between the locking part and the stop part, combined with the sliding guidance of the guide ribs, ensures precise alignment of the lid and effortless assembly and disassembly; the partition divides the accommodating cavity for classified management of medicines; the ergonomic design of the finger grip and the second recess enhances grip comfort and operational safety; the one-piece molded soft and flexible structure achieves smooth rotation through the deformation of the thin third rotating part, extending its service life; the luminous coating utilizes light energy conversion to achieve self-illuminating positioning in dark environments; and the elastic deformation of the silicone strip enhances sealing and noise reduction. These designs synergistically optimize the medicine box's sealing performance, durability, and ease of use, making it especially suitable for special groups such as the elderly and children, and it has wide application value in home, travel, and other scenarios.

[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 4As shown, this utility model discloses a convenient and easy-to-assemble multifunctional medicine box, including a box body 1 and a box lid 2. The box body 1 has a material cavity for holding pills or granules from the outside. The box lid 2 is flexibly connected to the box body 1 so that the box lid 2 can cover the opening of the material cavity. The side wall of the box body 1 is provided with a first recessed part 3, and a stop part 4 is provided above the first recessed part 3. The box lid 2 includes a cover body 5 and a closing part 6 provided on the edge of the cover body 5. The end of the cover body 5 away from the closing part 6 is flexibly connected to the box body 1. The closing part 6 includes a first protrusion 7 and a second protrusion 8 integrally formed with the first protrusion 7. The second protrusion 8 is provided on the first protrusion 7 to form a locking part 9. The box lid 2 is engaged with the stop part 4 of the box body 1 through the locking part 9 of the cover body 5.

[0031] The lid 2 and the box body 1 are engaged by a locking part 9 and a stop part 4, making disassembly and assembly convenient and allowing users to quickly open and close the lid to take out and put in medicines. The one-piece molded lid engagement part 6 enhances the overall strength and stability. In specific implementation, the side wall of the box body 1 is provided with a first recessed part 3 and a stop part 4, and the edge of the lid 5 of the lid 2 is provided with a locking part 9 composed of a first protrusion 7 and a vertical second protrusion 8. The connection between the lid 2 and the box body 1 is achieved by the locking of the two parts. At the same time, this structural design simplifies the structure, reduces production costs, and facilitates manufacturing and assembly while ensuring a stable connection, and can well meet the needs of daily use.

[0032] The box body 1 is provided with multiple sets of partitions 11. The material receiving cavity is the first receiving cavity set in the box body 1. The multiple sets of partitions 11 are arranged in a cross manner, and the multiple partitions 11 divide the first receiving cavity of the box body 1 into multiple second receiving cavities 12.

[0033] Multiple partitions 11 divide the first accommodating cavity into multiple second accommodating cavities 12, enabling the classified storage of medicines, avoiding mixing and contamination of different medicines, facilitating users to quickly find the medicines they need, improving the efficiency of medicine retrieval, and also facilitating the orderly management of medicines.

[0034] The second protrusion 8 has multiple sets of finger buckle portions 13 on its inner side. Each finger buckle portion 13 has a first groove 14 and the bottom surface of the finger buckle portion 13 is an inclined bottom surface 15.

[0035] Multiple sets of finger-holding parts 13 provide users with leverage points to open the lid 2, facilitating the application of force. The design of the first groove 14 conforms to the shape of the fingers, increasing the contact area between the fingers and the finger-holding parts 13 and improving the stability of the grip. The inclined bottom surface 15 is more ergonomic, making it more comfortable and effortless for the fingers to hold the lid 2 open. In specific implementation, multiple sets of finger-holding parts 13 are reasonably arranged and set inside the second protrusion 8. The first groove 14 is designed according to the natural curvature of human fingers, and the bottom surface of the finger-holding parts 13 is processed into an inclined state. When the user needs to open the lid 2, he puts his finger into the first groove 14 and uses the guiding effect of the inclined bottom surface 15 to smoothly apply external force to open the lid 2.

[0036] The second protrusion 8 has a guide rib 16 in the middle of its inner side. The guide rib 16 is arc-shaped and is used to slide against the stop part 4.

[0037] When the lid 2 closes onto the box body 1 around the rotating connection, the arc-shaped guide rib 16 on the inner side of the second protrusion 8 first contacts the surface of the stop part 4. As the closing action progresses, the guide rib 16 slides along the surface of the stop part 4 and generates a guiding force, guiding the engaging part 9 to accurately align with the recessed part 3. During the engagement process, the curved surface structure of the arc-shaped guide rib 16 can disperse the contact stress, avoiding excessive local stress that could lead to wear. At the same time, its sliding trajectory matches the rotation trajectory of the lid 2, making the closing action smoother. This structure not only improves the assembly accuracy of the medicine box lid 2 when it is closed and reduces the probability of misoperation, but also reduces frictional resistance and component wear through the arc design, extending the service life of the medicine box. Especially in scenarios with frequent opening and closing, it can effectively maintain the stability and reliability of the engaging structure.

[0038] The outer sidewall of the box body 1 is recessed inward with a second recess 173, and a first protrusion 18 is provided on the second recess 173. The first protrusion 18 is located at the edge of the free end of the box body 1.

[0039] The second recess 173 on the outer sidewall of the box 1 provides a comfortable grip space for the user. When the box needs to be moved or opened, the fingers can naturally fit into the recess 3, and the first protrusion 18 at the edge increases friction to prevent the hand from slipping. During the closing or opening of the lid 2, the force applied by the hand is more easily controlled through the second recess 173, avoiding tilting of the box and shaking of the medicine due to an unstable grip. This structure not only improves the comfort and stability of the box when held, but also enhances the safety of operation through the anti-slip design of the first protrusion 18. It is especially suitable for people with weak hand strength. At the same time, the combination of the recess 3 and the protrusion does not occupy the internal space of the box 1 and does not affect the medicine storage capacity.

[0040] A flexible structure 19 is provided between the box body 1 and the box lid 2. One end of the flexible structure 19 is integrally formed with the box body 1, and the other end is integrally formed with the box lid 2.

[0041] The flexible structure 19 is made of a soft material.

[0042] The flexible structure 19 includes a first rotating part 21 connected to the box body 1, a second rotating part 22 connected to the cover body 5, and a third rotating part 23. The two ends of the third rotating part 23 are integrally formed with the first rotating part 21 and the second rotating part 22, respectively.

[0043] The thickness of the third rotating part 23 is less than the thickness of the first rotating part 21 and the second rotating part 22.

[0044] The box body 1 and the lid 2 are connected by a flexible structure 19, which is integrally molded from a soft material. The first rotating part 21 connects to the box body 1, the second rotating part 22 connects to the lid 5, and a thinner third rotating part 23 provides a transition. When the lid 2 is opened or closed, the thinner third rotating part 23 is more prone to bending and deformation, causing the first and second rotating parts 22 to rotate relative to each other, allowing the lid 2 to flip smoothly. This integrated design eliminates assembly steps, improving production efficiency. The combination of the soft material and the thin third rotating part 23 ensures both rotational flexibility and enhances the durability of the connection structure, preventing breakage due to frequent opening and closing. Furthermore, the integrated connection of the flexible structure 19 with the box body 1 and lid 2 reduces gaps, lowering the probability of dust accumulation and balancing practicality and ease of cleaning.

[0045] The outer side of the box cover 2 is coated with luminous marking paint.

[0046] The luminescent coating on the outer side of the lid absorbs and stores light energy in normal lighting conditions. In dark environments (such as nighttime), the coating continuously emits fluorescence, forming a clearly visible outline. Users can quickly locate the medicine box without additional lighting, significantly reducing search time, especially in emergency situations. This design achieves self-illumination through light energy conversion, eliminating the need for batteries or other energy sources. This reduces operating costs and avoids potential malfunctions associated with traditional electronic lighting. Furthermore, the luminescent coating process is simple and cost-effective, suitable for mass production, providing convenience and reliability for the medicine box in low-light environments.

[0047] A silicone strip 24 is provided at the bottom of the stop part 4. When the lid 2 is closed, the silicone strip 24 at the bottom of the stop part 4 contacts the inner side of the second protrusion 8 of the engaging part 9. After the engaging part 9 and the stop part 4 are engaged, the silicone strip 24 is compressed and undergoes elastic deformation, filling the gap between them to enhance the sealing performance. At the same time, during the opening and closing of the lid 2, the sliding contact between the silicone strip 24 and the second protrusion 8 can buffer the collision and reduce friction noise. This structure, through the elastic properties of the silicone strip 24, not only improves the leak-proof and moisture-proof performance of the medicine box after it is closed, protecting the medicine from moisture and deterioration, but also reduces the wear and noise caused by repeated contact of the engaging structure, extending the service life of the components. It is especially suitable for scenarios where sealing and quietness are required.

[0048] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation method and application scope based on the idea of ​​this utility model. The content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
