Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary devices for medicine bottles, specifically to a disinfectant container with an automatically opening cap. Background Technology

[0002] Disinfectants are indispensable in daily life and many fields such as medicine and beauty. Common examples include alcohol and iodine solution, which are usually stored in containers with caps. Traditional disinfectant containers are mostly opened manually, requiring users to unscrew or pull off the cap to dispense the liquid. However, this manual opening method has many drawbacks. In frequent use scenarios, repeated manual contact with the cap can cause it to become contaminated with bacteria and dirt, easily leading to cross-contamination and affecting the hygiene of the disinfectant. This contamination can cause serious infection problems, especially in places with extremely high hygiene requirements such as hospitals. Furthermore, if traditional containers are not properly sealed after opening, the volatile components in the disinfectant will evaporate rapidly, reducing the liquid concentration and affecting the disinfection effect, resulting in resource waste. Moreover, users often cannot accurately know the remaining shelf life of the disinfectant, easily leading to the misuse of expired liquids and posing safety risks, especially for time-sensitive solutions like alcohol and iodine solution. Therefore, it is essential to develop a disinfectant container that can automatically open its lid, effectively prevent liquid evaporation, and allow for easy monitoring of the liquid's shelf life.

[0023] To provide a clearer explanation and illustration of the technical solution and implementation of this utility model, several preferred specific embodiments for implementing the technical solution of this utility model are described below. The following description is merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope, application, or use of this disclosure. It should be understood that in all these drawings, the same or similar reference numerals indicate the same or similar parts and features. The various drawings only schematically illustrate the concept and principle of the embodiments of this disclosure and do not necessarily show the specific dimensions and proportions of the various embodiments of this disclosure. The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model.

[0024] Example 1: A disinfectant container with an automatically opening cap is applied to medical alcohol storage scenarios. The device includes a bottle body 1, with a cap 2 installed at the bottle mouth via an interference fit. Three threads are formed on the inner wall of the bottle mouth, and a cap opening / closing drive 3 is installed inside. The outer surface of the retaining ring 305 of the cap opening / closing drive 3 has threads that match the threads, and it is removable to replace a depleted battery 302. A fixed annular circuit board 8 is embedded inside the cap 2, a liquid outlet 9 is located in the central area, a display screen 4 is embedded on the top left side, a miniature infrared sensor 7 is fixed on the top right side, three control buttons 5 are installed on the front of the top surface, and three indicator lights 6 are installed on the rear of the top surface. The bottom end of the housing 301 of the cap opening and closing drive component 3 is connected to the bottom cover by a snap-fit ​​mechanism. The battery 302 is fixed to the top side wall of the inner cavity of the housing 301. The Hall tilt sensor 303 is fixed to the bottom side of the inner cavity of the battery 302. The lower electromagnet 304 is fixed to the top surface of the housing 301. A fixing ring 305 is fixed to the outer surface, and a conical spring 306 is fixed to the top surface. An upper electromagnet 308 is fixed to the top of the conical spring 306. A silicone sealing plug 307, which is inserted into the liquid outlet 9, is connected to the top surface of the upper electromagnet 308. Six fan-shaped through holes 309 are arranged in a ring array inside the fixing ring 305 to allow the solvent inside the bottle body 1 to enter the inner cavity of the cap 2. A silicone sealing gasket is adhered to the top side wall of the inner cavity of the cap 2 with adhesive. The top of the bottle mouth of the cap 2 is in close contact with the silicone sealing gasket. In use, the expiration time of the alcohol inside the bottle body 1 is set by the control button 5. The display screen 4 displays the expiration countdown. In the indicator light 6, red indicates that it has expired, yellow indicates that the expiration time is less than 24 hours, and green indicates that it has not expired. When the distance between a person's hand and the bottle cap 2 is less than or equal to 10cm, the miniature infrared sensor 7 detects a signal. If the tilt angle of the bottle body 1 is greater than 30°, the Hall tilt sensor 303 detects the signal and supplies power to the lower electromagnet 304, attracting the upper electromagnet 308 to overcome the elasticity of the conical spring 306, pulling the silicone sealing plug 307 out of the outlet 9, and the alcohol flows out. Conversely, if the Hall tilt sensor 303 detects that the tilt angle of the bottle body 1 is less than 30°, it controls the silicone sealing plug 307 to be reinserted into the outlet 9.

[0025] Example 2: This automatic opening device for the lid of a disinfectant container is applied in the storage of iodine solution in the chemical industry. The connection between the bottle body 1 and the lid 2 is the same as in Example 1. The structure of the lid opening and closing drive component 3 is also the same as in Example 1, and its battery 302 powers the entire device. The positions and functions of the components on the lid 2 are the same as in Example 1. The control button 5 can set the iodine solution expiration time, the display screen 4 displays a countdown, and the indicator light 6 indicates the iodine solution's expiration status through different colors. The fixing ring 305 has eight fan-shaped through holes 309 to ensure that the iodine solution can smoothly enter the inner cavity of the lid 2. When the iodine solution needs to be used, when a person's hand approaches the lid 2 to a distance of less than or equal to 10 cm, the miniature infrared sensor 7 sends a signal. At the same time, if the tilt angle of the bottle body 1 is greater than 30°, the Hall tilt sensor 303 works to energize the lower electromagnet 304, attracting the upper electromagnet 308. The conical spring 306 is compressed, and the silicone sealing plug 307 is pulled out from the outlet 9, allowing the iodine solution to flow out. When storing, keep a distance of more than 10cm between the top of the bottle cap 2 and the container to prevent accidental triggering.

[0026] Example 3: This disinfectant container cap automatic opening device is used to store other volatile liquids requiring strict control over their shelf life, such as specific chemical reagents. The interference fit between the bottle body 1 and the cap 2, and the threaded connection of the internal cap opening and closing drive component 3, are the same as in the previous two examples. The positions and functions of the ring circuit board 8, the liquid outlet 9, the display screen 4, the miniature infrared sensor 7, the control button 5, and the indicator light 6 on the cap 2 remain unchanged. The expiration time of the reagent is set by the control button 5, the countdown is displayed on the display screen 4, and the expiration status is displayed on the indicator light 6. In the cap opening and closing drive component 3, the positions of the battery 302 and the Hall tilt sensor 303 inside the housing 301 are fixed. The connection and operation of the lower electromagnet 304, the fixing ring 305, the conical spring 306, the silicone sealing plug 307, and the upper electromagnet 308 are consistent with the aforementioned examples. The fixing ring 305 is provided with four fan-shaped through holes 309. When in use, when the distance between the person's hand and the bottle cap 2 is less than or equal to 10cm and the tilt angle of the bottle body 1 is greater than 30°, the miniature infrared sensor 7 and the Hall tilt sensor 303 respectively send signals, the lower electromagnet 304 is energized and attracts the upper electromagnet 308, the silicone sealing plug 307 is pulled out from the liquid outlet 9, and the reagent flows out; when storing, the top of the bottle cap 2 should be kept at a distance of more than 10cm from the container.

[0027] Based on the above-described preferred technical solution, the workflow of this technical solution is explained as follows: When the liquid in the bottle 1 needs to be used, the miniature infrared sensor 7 starts working, monitoring the distance between the user's hand and the bottle cap 2 in real time. Once the distance between the user's hand and the bottle cap 2 is less than or equal to 10cm, the miniature infrared sensor 7 transmits a signal to the ring circuit board 8. At the same time, if the user tilts the bottle 1, causing the tilt angle of the bottle 1 to be greater than 30°, the Hall tilt sensor 303 detects the tilt angle signal and transmits it to the ring circuit board 8. After receiving these two signals, the ring circuit board 8 controls the battery 302. Power is supplied to the lower electromagnet 304, which generates magnetism to attract the upper electromagnet 308. Since the upper electromagnet 308 is connected to the silicone sealing plug 307, and the silicone sealing plug 307 is connected to the top of the conical spring 306, under the attraction force of the lower electromagnet 304, the upper electromagnet 308 overcomes the elasticity of the conical spring 306 and drives the silicone sealing plug 307 to move downward, thereby pulling the silicone sealing plug 307 out of the liquid outlet 9. At this time, the liquid in the bottle body 1 can enter the inner cavity of the bottle cap 2 through the fan-shaped through hole 309 of the fixing ring 305 and flow out from the liquid outlet 9 for the user to use.

[0028] During use, the user can set the expiration time of the solvent inside the bottle 1 using the control button 5 on the front of the top surface of the bottle cap 2. The ring circuit board 8 receives the setting information and starts timing, while simultaneously displaying the remaining time on the display screen 4 on the top left of the bottle cap 2 in a countdown format, making it easy for the user to understand the remaining shelf life of the liquid. The indicator light 6 on the rear of the top of the bottle cap 2 displays different colors according to the liquid's expiration status. When the ring circuit board 8 determines that the liquid has expired, the indicator light 6 displays red; when the liquid's expiration time is less than 24 hours, the indicator light 6 displays yellow; and when the liquid's expiration time is not expired, the indicator light 6 displays green. The user can intuitively understand the liquid's expiration status through the color of the indicator light 6. After use, the bottle 1 is returned to an upright position. The Hall tilt sensor 303 detects that the tilt angle is less than or equal to 30°. At the same time, the distance between the person's hand and the bottle cap 2 is greater than 10cm. The miniature infrared sensor 7 stops transmitting signals. The ring circuit board 8 controls the battery 302 to stop supplying power to the lower electromagnet 304. The magnetism of the lower electromagnet 304 disappears. The conical spring 306 returns to its original shape under its own elasticity, pushing the upper electromagnet 308 to move upward. This, in turn, drives the silicone sealing plug 307 to be reinserted into the liquid outlet 9, realizing the automatic closing of the bottle cap 2 and preventing the liquid from continuing to flow out and evaporate. If the battery 302 runs out of power, since the inner wall of the bottle body 1 has several threads and the outer surface of the fixing ring 305 of the cap opening and closing drive 3 is provided with threads that are compatible with the threads, the cap opening and closing drive 3 can be rotated to remove it from the bottle body 1. Then, open the bottom cover at the bottom of the housing 301 to replace the battery 302. After the replacement is completed, reinstall the cap opening and closing drive 3 and you can continue to use the device.

[0029] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
