Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medicine box technology, and in particular to a portable medicine box suitable for visually impaired people. Background Technology

[0002] A Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN208144657U, entitled "A Portable Sorting Medicine Box," describes a portable sorting medicine box that uses Braille prompts on the bottom to facilitate use by blind people. However, blind people cannot accurately judge the degree of opening of the box when pushing it. When sliding to a certain compartment, the box may not be opened enough, leaving medicine in that compartment, or it may be opened too much, causing some medicine from adjacent compartments to spill out, making it very inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a portable medicine box that is easy to use and suitable for visually impaired people.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model for a portable medicine box suitable for visually impaired people is as follows:

[0005] A portable medicine box suitable for visually impaired people includes a box sleeve and a box body. The box body includes an end head, one side of which is provided with a groove. When the groove is fully inserted into the box sleeve, the end head abuts against the open end face of the box sleeve. The groove is provided with multiple partitions, which divide the inner cavity of the groove into multiple medicine storage compartments. The bottom surface of the groove has positioning recesses that are the same number as the partitions and arranged in a straight line. The positioning recesses correspond one-to-one with the partitions. The open end of the box sleeve is provided with a pair of support protrusions. Between the two support protrusions is an elastic tongue that cooperates with the positioning recess. When the elastic tongue is inserted into the positioning recess, the open end of the box sleeve is exactly aligned with the corresponding partition.

[0006] Preferably, the bottom of the groove body adjacent to the end has a relief recess that accommodates the support boss and the elastic tongue to slide in simultaneously. The bottom surface of the relief recess is provided with multiple ribs, which push the elastic tongue to lock the box sleeve to the outside of the groove body.

[0007] Preferably, the outer wall on the same side as the open end of the groove body is provided with several protrusions.

[0008] Preferably, the box sleeve is a rectangular shell with rounded corners.

[0009] Preferably, the rounded corner radii on the top two sides of the box sleeve are not equal to the rounded corner radii on the bottom two sides.

[0010] Preferably, guide strips are provided on both sides of the top inner wall of the box sleeve, and guide grooves that slide with the guide strips are provided on the top of the partition and the top of the side of the groove body away from the end.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0012] 1. During the opening of the box sleeve, the elastic flap will sink into each positioning recess in turn. When it sinks into a certain positioning recess, it will suddenly increase the resistance between the relative movement of the box sleeve and the box body, thereby reminding the visually impaired user to stop opening. At this time, the opening end of the box sleeve is aligned with the corresponding partition, accurately pouring out the medicine in the corresponding medicine storage compartment, which is very convenient to use.

[0013] 2. When the box sleeve is closed, the ribs will push the elastic flap, increasing the friction between the box sleeve and the box body, thereby locking the box sleeve to the outside of the groove body and preventing the box sleeve and the box body from separating automatically.

[0014] 3. The protrusions on the outer wall of the end can help users determine the orientation of the medicine storage compartment opening, preventing the medicine from scattering when the medicine storage compartment opening is facing down. At the same time, it can also increase the friction of the end, making it easier for users to pull out the box.

[0015] 4. The rectangular shell is easy to grip and not easy to slip out of your hand. In addition, the rounded corner radii on the top two sides of the box sleeve are not equal to the rounded corner radii on the bottom two sides, which can play a role in preventing mistakes and make it easy for users to fit the completely separated box sleeve and box body together.

[0016] 5. The guide strip and guide groove work together to constrain the movement direction of the box sleeve and the box body when they slide relative to each other, ensuring that the elastic tongue can accurately sink into the corresponding positioning recess and avoid user misjudgment.

[0024] The present invention will be further illustrated below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. After reading the present invention, any modifications of the present invention in various equivalent forms by those skilled in the art will fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0025] like Figure 1-6As shown, a portable medicine box suitable for visually impaired people includes a sleeve 1 and a body 2. Both the sleeve 1 and the body 2 are made of plastic. The sleeve 1 is a rectangular shell with rounded corners, which makes it easy to grip and prevents it from slipping out of the hand. The rounded corner radii on the top two sides of the sleeve 1 are 12mm, and the rounded corner radii on the bottom two sides are 25mm. The rounded corner radii on the top two sides of the sleeve 1 are not equal to those on the bottom two sides, which can prevent errors and make it easy for users to correctly fit the completely separated sleeve and body. The body 2 includes an end 21 and an integrally formed groove 22 on the left side of the end. When the groove 22 is fully inserted into the sleeve 1, the end... 21 rests against the open end face of the box sleeve 1. Six partitions 23 are integrally formed inside the trough-shaped body 22, dividing the inner cavity of the trough-shaped body into seven medicine storage compartments 24. The days of the week can be marked on the outer wall of the trough-shaped body, corresponding to the medicine storage compartments, allowing for the storage of a week's worth of medicine. Three protrusions 25 are integrally formed on the outer wall of the end 21 on the same side as the open end of the trough-shaped body 22. The protrusions 25 help users determine the orientation of the medicine storage compartment openings, preventing medicine from scattering when the box sleeve is opened with the compartment opening facing downwards. They also increase the friction of the end, making it easier for users to pull out the box. Six compartments are arranged in a straight line on the bottom surface of the trough-shaped body 22. The positioning recess 26 of the fabric corresponds one-to-one with the partition 23. A pair of support bosses 11 are integrally formed at the opening end of the box sleeve. An elastic tongue 12 that cooperates with the positioning recess is formed between the two support bosses. When the elastic tongue 12 is inserted into the positioning recess 26, the opening end of the box sleeve 1 is exactly aligned with the corresponding partition 23. The bottom of the groove body 22, which is close to the end 21, has a relief recess 27. Three ribs 28 are integrally formed on the bottom surface of the relief recess. In the area outside the relief recess, the support bosses limit the deformation of the elastic tongue to prevent excessive damping force from affecting the relative sliding between the box sleeve 1 and the box body 2. When it is necessary to close the box... When the box is fitted, the support boss and the elastic tongue slide into the avoidance recess simultaneously. The support boss no longer restricts the deformation of the elastic tongue. At this time, the rib 28 pushes the elastic tongue to lock the box 1 to the outside of the groove body 22, preventing the box 1 and the box body 2 from automatically separating and causing the medicine to scatter. The top inner wall of the box 1 has integrally formed guide strips 13 on both sides. The top of the partition and the top of the groove body away from the end are provided with guide grooves 29 that slide with the guide strips. The guide strips 13 and guide grooves 29 work together to constrain the movement direction of the box 1 and the box body 2 when they slide relative to each other, ensuring that the elastic tongue 12 can accurately sink into the corresponding positioning recess 26 and avoid user misjudgment.

[0026] The specific working process and principle of this utility model are as follows: Hold the box sleeve 1 with one hand and the end 21 with the other hand. Pull the end 21 outwards. When the elastic tongue 11 enters the first positioning recess 26, the open end of the box sleeve 1 is aligned with the first partition 23, which can block the other medicine compartments. At this time, the user can easily take out the medicine in the first medicine compartment for consumption. Similarly, when the elastic tongue enters the second positioning recess, the open end of the box sleeve is aligned with the second partition, and so on. This utility model uses the method of suddenly increasing sliding resistance when the elastic tongue enters the positioning recess to indicate the degree of opening of the box sleeve to visually impaired users, so as to take out the medicine in the corresponding medicine compartment. There is no need to worry about the medicine in other medicine compartments being scattered, thus making it more convenient for visually impaired people to use.

[0027] It should be noted that this utility model is not limited to use by visually impaired people; sighted people can also use it to prevent forgetting to take medication and to make it convenient to carry when traveling.
