Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pharmaceutical slicing tools, specifically a tool for slicing tablets in half. Background Technology
[0002] When doctors prescribe medication to patients in hospitals, some prescriptions require taking half a tablet. Since tablets are usually produced in whole pieces, a slicing tool is typically used to cut the whole tablet into half tablets for later use.
[0003] For example, the tablet splitter and feeder disclosed in CN102159170A can split tablets (T) without moving the cutter (cutting blade) and can dispense the split tablets (T1, T2) separately. The rotor is housed in a container that holds multiple tablets (T). The rotor housing part of the container is cylindrical with a bottom and a tablet discharge port at its bottom. A fixing blade is provided on its outer side. A receiving groove for holding one tablet is formed at equal intervals around the entire circumference of the rotor, and a circumferential groove is formed for the fixing blade and the support plate to enter.
[0004] The existing technology has the following technical problems: When the existing tablet cutter is used, the blade is a fixed and non-moving part. Although it can achieve the slicing effect of the tablet, it can only be cut by the rotation of the tablet and contact with the blade. As a result, a lot of debris is generated during slicing, which is not conducive to the integrity of the tablet.
[0005] Therefore, we proposed a tablet halving tool to solve the problems mentioned above. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a tablet cutting tool to solve the problem mentioned in the background art. Currently available tablet cutters on the market have fixed, non-moving blades. Although they can achieve the desired slicing effect, they can only cut by rotating the tablet and contacting the blade. This results in a lot of debris during slicing, which is not conducive to the integrity of the tablet.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a tablet cutting tool, including a slicing blade, blade clamps and a core base mounted on the upper and lower sides of the slicing blade, wherein the slicing blade is constrained by a groove in the blade clamp, and the groove in the blade clamp is used to limit the movement direction of the slicing blade, the side of the slicing blade is connected to the groove in the blade clamp by an auxiliary spring, and the auxiliary spring is used to provide the slicing blade with a restoring elastic force when not under force.
[0008] Preferably, the side of the slicing blade extends outward to form a protrusion, and the movement distance of the protrusion is limited by the auxiliary spring.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the auxiliary spring can provide the return spring force after the slicing blade moves.
[0010] Preferably, the surface of the slicing blade near the center of the blade clamp is arc-shaped.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the arc-shaped structure on the inner end surface of the slicing blade facilitates the subsequent application of pressure to the slicing blade.
[0012] Preferably, the slicing blade is movable in the groove along the radial direction of the blade clamp.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the slicing blade can be used to easily cut and shred medicines.
[0014] Preferably, a core cutter baffle is installed on the core base, and the core cutter baffle is used to limit the movement distance of the slicing blade.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the drug core cutter baffle can prevent the cutting blade from moving too far, thereby blocking the cutting blade.
[0016] Preferably, the core base is provided with a discharge groove, which is used to provide a channel for the tablets to fall after slicing.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, and through the setting of the discharge trough, after the slicing blade cuts the medicine, the cut tablets can be discharged outward through the discharge trough.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the tablet cutting knife, through the movable setting of the slicing blade, not only allows the rotating tablet to slide in contact with the slicing blade, but also uses the reciprocating movement of the slicing blade to press and cut the tablet, thereby improving the slicing effect and reducing the damage rate of the tablet.
[0019] 1. Equipped with a slicing blade, the slicing blade moves in a groove in the blade clamp, thereby cutting the tablet under pressure and reducing the damage rate and debris of the tablet.
[0020] 2. It is equipped with a discharge chute, which allows the sliced tablets to fall downwards easily. At the same time, the movement distance of the slicer can be controlled by the cutter baffle. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-3 Existing tablet cutters, when in use, have fixed, non-moving blades. While they can achieve the desired slicing effect, they only cut by the rotation of the tablet contacting the blade, resulting in a significant amount of debris during slicing, which is detrimental to the tablet's integrity. To address this technical problem, this embodiment discloses the following technical content: a tablet slicing cutter, including a slicing blade 1, blade clamps 2 mounted on the upper and lower sides of the slicing blade 1, and a core base 3. The slicing blade 1 is confined within a groove on the blade clamp 2, and the groove on the blade clamp 2 limits the movement direction of the slicing blade 1. The side of the slicing blade 1 is connected to the groove on the blade clamp 2 via an auxiliary spring 5, and the auxiliary spring 5 provides the slicing blade 1 with a restoring elastic force when not under stress. The side of the slicing blade 1 extends outward to form a protrusion, and the movement distance of the protrusion is limited by the auxiliary spring 5. The surface of the slicing blade 1 near the center of the blade clamp 2 is arc-shaped, allowing the slicing blade 1 to move radially within the groove along the blade clamp 2.
[0027] The slicing blade 1 can move in the groove opened on the blade clamp 2. When the arc-shaped end of the slicing blade 1 is squeezed by external force, the slicing blade 1 moves. The movement of the slicing blade 1 can then cut the tablet. Compared with a fixed and immovable blade, the movable blade in this embodiment can not only improve the slicing efficiency, but also reduce the debris during tablet slicing, reduce the tablet damage rate, and reduce the loss of efficacy.
[0028] Example 2: The technical content disclosed in this example is a further improvement based on Example 1 described above. The following technical content is disclosed in this example: Figure 1 As shown, a core cutting blade baffle 4 is installed on the core base 3, and the core cutting blade baffle 4 is used to limit the moving distance of the slicing blade 1. A discharge groove 6 is provided on the core base 3, which is used to provide a channel for the sliced tablets to fall.
[0029] The movement distance of the moving slicing blade 1 can be controlled by the setting of the core cutter baffle 4. At the same time, the discharge groove 6 on the core base 3 allows the cut tablet to fall downwards and be discharged after being cut by the slicing blade 1.
[0030] The contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.
[0031] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
