Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medicine boxes, and in particular to a light-proof box for bottled injections. Background Technology
[0002] A light-proof pillbox is a container specifically designed for storing light-sensitive medications. It effectively prevents oxidation and decomposition caused by light exposure. For example, commonly used injectable solutions such as nitroglycerin and mecobalamin require light-proof pillboxes for storage during dispensing and preparation. A typical light-proof pillbox includes a light-blocking body and a lid. The medication is placed inside the box and sealed with the lid, which is opened only when the medication is needed.
[0003] For example, a utility model patent with authorization publication number CN 222361281 U discloses a light-proof box for injections, which includes a box body 1, a lid 2, and a tray 3. The tray 3 is placed inside the box body 1 and is restrained by a limiting part 4. Placing the injection medication in the tray 3 prevents the injection from rolling or colliding inside the box. When the lid 2 is closed, it prevents external light from entering the box, providing a good light-proof environment for the injection and reducing the risk of damage to the injection due to shaking. However, every time the lid 2 of this type of light-proof box is opened, all the medications placed in the box body 1 are inevitably exposed to light at the same time. If some medications do not need to be taken out and used immediately, these medications may become ineffective, especially if the lid 2 is forgotten to be closed or is not closed completely, the risk of medication ineffectiveness will be greatly increased.
[0004] For example, a utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN 208470401 U discloses a light-proof medicine box, which includes a box body 1, a small storage box 10, a medium storage box 11, and a top cover 4. The box body 1 is divided into a small storage area 8 and a medium storage area 9 by a vertical plate 6. The small storage box 10 is located in the small storage area 8, and the medium storage box 11 is located in the medium storage area 9. This type of light-proof medicine box allows different medicines to be placed in different storage boxes, and each storage box is an individual unit. Opening it will not affect other medicines, overcoming the problem that all medicines are exposed to light when the lid is opened. However, this type of light-proof medicine box requires multiple different storage boxes to be placed in the box body 1, making it inconvenient to take out and put out medicines, and easy to mix them up. In addition, when taking out medicines by opening a storage box, all medicines in the same storage box will also be exposed to light, posing a risk of deterioration. If the box is not closed or is not closed completely, the risk of medicines in the same storage box deteriorating will also be greatly increased.
[0005] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of this utility model and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0036] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments.
[0037] Unless otherwise expressly stated, throughout the specification and claims, the term "comprising" or its variations such as "including" or "comprises" shall be understood to include the stated elements or components without excluding other elements or other components.
[0038] Figures 1 to 5 The diagram shows a structural schematic of a light-proof box for bottled injections according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The light-proof box includes an outer box 1, an outer box lid 2, an inner box 3, and a vial holder 4. The outer box 1, outer box lid 2, inner box 3, and vial holder 4 are all made of opaque materials, such as black cardboard or plastic.
[0039] like Figure 1As shown, the inner cavity of the outer box 1 has an opening at the top, and the outer box lid 2 is used to seal the upper opening of the inner cavity of the outer box 1. Specifically, the body of the outer box 1 can be a cuboid, and its inner cavity is also a cuboid chamber. The outer box lid 2 is a cuboid cover corresponding to the outer box 1, and the outer box lid 2 is a flip-top, with its front end connected to the front end of the outer box 1 in a flip-up manner. Flipping the outer box lid 2 upwards opens the inner cavity of the outer box 1, and flipping it downwards allows it to be fastened to the upper opening of the outer box 1, thereby sealing the inner cavity of the outer box 1.
[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the inner box 3 is located inside the cavity of the outer box 1. The inner box 3 is a hollow box, and its cavity is a medicine storage chamber 35. The top wall of the medicine storage chamber 35 has an upper sliding groove 31 distributed along the left-right direction, which penetrates the top wall of the medicine storage chamber 35 vertically. One end of the top wall of the medicine storage chamber 35 has a medicine dispensing port 32 that communicates with the upper sliding groove 31. For example, the medicine dispensing port 32 can be located on the right side of the top wall of the medicine storage chamber 35, in which case the right end of the upper sliding groove 31 communicates with the medicine dispensing port 32. Specifically, the inner box 3 can also be a cuboid box, and the medicine storage chamber 35 can also be a cuboid cavity.
[0041] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, several medicine bottle holders 4 are placed inside the medicine storage cavity 35 in a manner that allows them to move left and right. Each medicine bottle holder 4 has a push rod 41 that protrudes upward and moves through the upper sliding groove 31, so that the upper end of the push rod 41 protrudes outside the inner box 3, making it convenient to move the medicine bottle holder 4 left and right by hand. Preferably, the bottom wall of the medicine storage cavity 35 is provided with a lower sliding groove 36 distributed in the left and right direction. Each medicine bottle holder 4 has a guide post 44 that protrudes downward and moves into the lower sliding groove 36. This allows the upper sliding groove 31 and the lower sliding groove 36 to simultaneously limit and guide the medicine bottle holder 4, making the movement of the medicine bottle holder 4 more stable and smooth. One of the front and rear ends of the medicine bottle holder 4 is recessed with a bottle hole 43 for inserting a medicine bottle 5. After the bottom of the medicine bottle 5 is inserted into the bottle hole 43, it can be placed into the medicine storage cavity 35 along with the medicine bottle holder 4 for storage and can move left and right with the medicine bottle holder 4. A light-shielding plate 42 is provided on the side of the medicine bottle holder 4 near the dispensing port 32. The light-shielding plate 42 can be integrally formed with the medicine bottle holder 4. The light-shielding plate 42 is also made of opaque material and is used to block the light entering from the dispensing port 32. That is, the longitudinal cross-section of the light-shielding plate 42 corresponds to the shape of the medicine storage cavity 35. For example, when the medicine storage cavity 35 is a cuboid cavity, the upper and lower ends of the light-shielding plate 42 move and abut against the top and bottom walls of the medicine storage cavity 35, respectively, and the front and rear ends of the light-shielding plate 42 also move and abut against the front and rear walls of the dispensing cavity 35, respectively. After the medicine bottle 5 is inserted into the bottle hole 43 of the medicine bottle holder 4, the whole is smaller than the dispensing port 32, so that it can be taken out and put in through the dispensing port 32. For example, the dispensing port 32 can be set on the right side of the top wall of the medicine storage cavity 35, and the light-shielding plate 42 can be set on the right side of the medicine bottle holder 4. When the bottle hole 43 is set at the front end of the medicine bottle holder 4, after the medicine bottle 5 is inserted into the bottle hole 43, the upper part of the bottle body is exposed in front of the medicine bottle holder 4 and blocked by the light shield 42 on the right side. When the bottle hole 43 is set at the rear end of the medicine bottle holder 4, after the medicine bottle 5 is inserted into the bottle hole 43, the upper part of the bottle body is exposed behind the medicine bottle holder 4 and blocked by the light shield 42 on the right side.
[0042] The medicine bottle holder 4 of this invention has a light shield 42 on the side near the dispensing port 32. When the outer box cover 2 is opened, the light shield 42 can block the light entering from the dispensing port 32, so that other medicine bottles 5 placed in the medicine storage cavity 35 of the inner box 3 will not be directly exposed to light. To take out the required amount of medicine, simply push the medicine bottle holders 4 closest to the dispensing port 32 in sequence and take them out. The medicine bottle holders 4 that are not taken out are still blocked from light by the light shield 42, preventing the medicine bottles 5 inserted in their bottle holes 43 from being exposed to light. The entire medicine taking process can effectively prevent light from directly shining on other medicine bottles 5 that do not need to be taken out. Even if the outer box cover 2 is forgotten to be closed or is not closed properly, this invention can also better prevent the medicine bottles 5 in the medicine storage cavity 35 from being directly exposed to light, thereby greatly reducing the risk of medicines becoming ineffective due to exposure to light.
[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this invention, a gap is left between the outer wall of the inner box 3 and the inner wall of the inner cavity of the outer box 1, which is large enough to accommodate all the medicine bottle holders 4. For example, a larger gap can be left between the outer wall of the rear end of the inner box 3 and the rear wall of the inner cavity of the outer box 1. When a medicine bottle holder 4 is taken out and the medicine bottle on it is removed, the empty medicine bottle holder 4 can be placed directly into the gap for temporary storage, making the medicine bottle holder 4 less likely to be lost and facilitating management and use.
[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a further embodiment of this invention, the inner box 3 is detachably disposed within the inner cavity of the outer box 1. This allows the same outer box 1 to be used with inner boxes 3 of different sizes, and by configuring different sizes of inner boxes 3 and bottle holders 4 for different medicines, its applicability is improved. Furthermore, the ability to remove the inner box 3 facilitates the sterilization of both the outer box 1 and the inner box 2 for reuse. Preferably, the front opening of the medicine storage cavity 35 of the inner box 3 is sealed by the front wall of the inner cavity of the outer box 1 when the inner box 3 is placed within the inner cavity of the outer box 1, maintaining a closed and light-proof environment. After removing the inner box 3, the medicine storage cavity 35 can be easily cleaned and sterilized.
[0045] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, preferably, each of the left and right inner walls of the outer box 1 has a protruding card seat 11, and each card seat 11 has a card slot 12 with an opening at the top. Each of the left and right outer walls of the inner box 3 has a protruding card block 33, and each card block 33 is able to slide up and down and fit into the card slot 12 of the card seat 11 on the same side. In this way, the inner box 3 can be separated from the outer box 1 by pulling the inner box 3 upward. More preferably, the card block 33 is provided with finger holes 34 through its front and rear ends. When the card block 33 is fitted into the card slot 12 of the card seat 11 on the same side, the upper part of the finger hole 34 is higher than the upper end of the card seat 11 on the same side, so as to facilitate lifting the inner box 3 by hand. The inner box 3 of this utility model cooperates with the slot 12 of the card seat 11 of the outer box 1 through the card block 33, making the inner box 3 easy to assemble and disassemble. The card block 33 is provided with a finger hole 34 higher than the card seat 11. The card block 33 is used for both the installation and positioning of the inner box 3 and for easy lifting of the inner box 3. It has two functions and makes the structure simple and compact.
[0046] like Figure 1As shown, in a further preferred embodiment of this invention, the outer box cover 2 has a downwardly protruding label plate 21. When the outer box cover 2 seals the upper opening of the inner cavity of the outer box 1, the label plate 21 presses against the upper end of the inner box 3. The side of the label plate 21 can be used for writing or affixing labels. Alternatively, the label plate 21 can be provided with slots to insert cards containing drug information. The label plate 21 on the outer box cover 2 of this invention serves both to press the inner box 3 firmly to further prevent the inner box 3 and the medicine bottle from shaking, and to facilitate writing the stored drug information, thus simplifying drug management.
[0047] The foregoing description of specific exemplary embodiments of the present invention is for illustrative and explanatory purposes. These descriptions are not intended to limit the present invention to the precise forms disclosed, and it will be apparent that many changes and variations can be made in accordance with the foregoing teachings.
