Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pharmaceutical technology, and in particular to a dispensing device for pharmacies. Background Technology

[0002] In modern healthcare systems, precision medication is crucial for patient treatment outcomes and recovery. When prescribing medication, doctors must accurately determine the dosage based on various factors such as the severity of the patient's condition, weight, age, and specific physiological conditions. However, pharmaceutical manufacturers, considering production, storage, and transportation, often produce large-dose tablets. This necessitates the cutting of tablets during dispensing at pharmacies to meet individualized patient needs.

[0003] Traditional methods of cutting tablets are cumbersome and inconvenient for tablet cutting. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model proposes a dispensing device for pharmacies.

[0005] This utility model discloses a pharmacy dispensing device for cutting tablets, comprising: a first plate, a second plate, a first receiving slot, and a second receiving slot. The first receiving slot is disposed on the first plate, and the second receiving slot is disposed on the second plate. The first plate has a first wall, and the second plate has a second wall. When the first plate and the second plate are fitted together, the first wall and the second wall adhere to each other, forming a wedge-shaped groove between the first and second receiving slots to accommodate the tablets. When the first plate and the second plate are separated, the wedge-shaped groove returns to its original state, thus separating the tablets into first and second tablets. In hospital pharmacies, doctors often prescribe different dosages of tablets based on factors such as the patient's specific condition and weight. For some large-dose tablets, it is necessary to cut them. When cutting, move the first plate and the second plate to be flush, then put the tablet to be cut into the wedge-shaped groove, and then move the first plate and the second plate to divide the tablet into two parts.

[0006] Preferably, a connecting assembly is provided between the first plate and the second plate. The connecting assembly includes a first rod, a second rod, a third rod, and a fourth rod. The first and second rods are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the first plate, and the third and fourth rods are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the second plate. The first and third rods are hinged, and the second and fourth rods are hinged. A torsion spring is provided at the hinge points of the first and third rods and the second and fourth rods. The line connecting the hinge points of the first and third rods and the hinge points of the second and fourth rods is parallel to the length direction of the first or second plate. The first and second plates are rotatably connected by the connecting assembly, which facilitates the connection and separation of the first and second plates. When connecting, only relative rotation is required to assemble the first and second storage slots into a wedge-shaped groove. When separating, relative rotation of the two plates can divide the tablet into two parts.

[0007] Preferably, the first storage slot has a first inner wall, the second storage slot has a second inner wall, and the angle between the first inner wall and the first wall and the angle between the second inner wall and the second wall are equal.

[0008] Preferably, the outer wall of the tablet simultaneously abuts against the first inner wall and the second inner wall, and the angles between the first inner wall and the first wall and between the second inner wall and the second wall are equal. In this way, when relative rotation occurs between the first plate and the second plate, the tablet can be divided into two uniform portions because the tablet abuts against the inner walls of both sides of the wedge-shaped groove.

[0009] Preferably, it further includes: a shell, a groove, a first mounting groove, a second mounting groove, a first connecting rod, and a second connecting rod. The groove is disposed in the shell and can simultaneously accommodate the first plate and the second plate. The first mounting groove and the second mounting groove are respectively disposed on both sides of the groove. The first connecting rod is fixedly mounted on the first plate, and the second connecting rod is fixedly mounted on the second plate. The end of the first connecting rod is movably mounted on the first mounting groove, and the end of the second connecting rod is movably mounted on the second mounting groove. The first plate and the second plate can rotate around the axis of the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod to tilt the first plate and the second plate, thereby facilitating the placement of the tablet into the wedge-shaped groove.

[0010] Preferably, a first sphere is fixedly installed at the end of the first connecting rod, and a second sphere is fixedly installed at the end of the second connecting rod, and both the first mounting groove and the second mounting groove are spherical grooves.

[0011] Preferably, both the first and second mounting grooves are provided with limiting ports at their openings. The limiting ports are vertically elongated. After the tablet enters the wedge-shaped groove, pressing the first and second plates causes the first and second connecting rods to rotate around the limiting ports, thereby breaking the tablet into two uniform pieces. After pressing, the first and second plates will reset and reassemble to form the wedge-shaped groove under the elastic force of the torsion spring.

[0012] Preferably, the side of the housing is provided with a rectangular opening that communicates with the groove, so that the first and second pieces after being cut can be taken out through the rectangular opening.

[0013] The advantages of the dispensing device for pharmacies proposed in this utility model are:

[0014] 1. In hospital pharmacies, doctors often prescribe different dosages of tablets based on factors such as the patient's specific condition and weight. For some large-dose tablets, splitting is necessary. This tablet dispenser can quickly and accurately divide tablets into two equal halves, meeting the medication needs of different patients and improving the efficiency and accuracy of pharmacy dispensing.

[0015] 2. The tablets are collected in the wedge-shaped groove formed when the first plate and the second plate are attached. When separating, the tablets are evenly separated by applying force to the inner walls on both sides, ensuring that the tablets can be accurately divided into two uniform parts, effectively avoiding dosage errors caused by uneven cutting and ensuring patient medication safety.

[0016] 3. The connecting components employ a hinged design with first, second, third, and fourth rods, and torsion springs at the hinge points, facilitating convenient rotational connection between the first and second plates. During operation, workers can easily assemble and disassemble the wedge-shaped grooves through relative rotation, improving dispensing efficiency.

[0017] 4. The dispensing device is equipped with a housing, the internal groove of which can accommodate the plates. The first and second plates are connected to the first and second mounting slots respectively via the first and second connecting rods, and can rotate around the axis, facilitating the tilting of the plates to place the tablets into the wedge-shaped grooves. The ball at the end of the connecting rod engages with the spherical groove, making the rotation smoother. The limiting port design at the groove opening allows the plates to automatically return to their original position under the action of a torsion spring after the plates are pressed to cut the tablets, facilitating subsequent operations.

[0022] Figure 5 This is a front view of a dispensing device for pharmacies proposed in this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0023] refer to Figure 1-5 This utility model proposes a dispensing device for pharmacies, mainly composed of a first plate 1 and a second plate 2, with a first storage groove 11 and a second storage groove 21 respectively provided on these two plates. The first storage groove 11 is located on the first plate 1, and the second storage groove 21 is located on the second plate 2. The first plate 1 has a first wall, and the second plate 2 has a second wall. When the first plate 1 and the second plate 2 are fitted together, the first wall and the second wall are tightly fitted, and a wedge-shaped groove 3 is formed between the first storage groove 11 and the second storage groove 21. This wedge-shaped groove 3 can accommodate tablets to be cut. When the first plate 1 and the second plate 2 are separated, the wedge-shaped groove 3 immediately returns to the independent first storage groove 11 and second storage groove 21, and the tablets placed in them will be separated into first tablets and second tablets.

[0024] In practice, pharmacy staff first move the first plate 1 and the second plate 2 to a level position, and then place the tablets to be cut into the wedge-shaped groove 3. Next, the first plate 1 and the second plate 2 are moved again; with their relative movement, the tablets are evenly divided into two portions. The entire cutting process is simple and efficient.

[0025] To further optimize the connection and separation operation between the first plate 1 and the second plate 2, a connecting assembly is provided between them. This connecting assembly includes a first rod 12, a second rod 13, a third rod 22, and a fourth rod 23. The first rod 12 and the second rod 13 are securely fixed to the upper surface of the first plate 1, while the third rod 22 and the fourth rod 23 are securely fixed to the upper surface of the second plate 2.

[0026] The first rod 12 and the third rod 22 are connected by a hinge, as are the second rod 13 and the fourth rod 23. It is worth noting that torsion springs are installed at the hinge points of the first rod 12 and the third rod 22, and at the hinge points of the second rod 13 and the fourth rod 23. Furthermore, the line connecting the hinge points of the first rod 12 and the third rod 22, and the hinge points of the second rod 13 and the fourth rod 23, is parallel to the length direction of either the first plate 1 or the second plate 2.

[0027] This connecting component design allows for a flexible rotatable connection between the first plate 1 and the second plate 2. In actual use, the first storage slot 11 and the second storage slot 21 will assemble into a wedge-shaped slot 3 under the elastic force of the torsion spring, completing the preparation for placing the tablets. When it is necessary to cut the tablets, the two plates are rotated relative to each other again, and the tablets can be easily divided into two portions, greatly improving the efficiency and convenience of dispensing medication.

[0028] To ensure uniform dosage of the diced tablets, the first and second storage slots 11 and 21 are designed with great care. The first storage slot 11 has a first inner wall 14, and the second storage slot 21 has a second inner wall 24. The angle between the first inner wall 14 and the first wall, and the angle between the second inner wall 24 and the second wall are equal.

[0029] When placing the tablet, the outer wall of the tablet can simultaneously and tightly abut against both the first inner wall 14 and the second inner wall 24. In this way, when the first plate 1 and the second plate 2 rotate relative to each other for the cutting operation, because the tablet is always simultaneously abutting against both sides of the inner wall of the wedge-shaped groove 3, the compressive force on the tablet is evenly distributed on both sides of the tablet. This ensures that the tablet is accurately divided into two uniform portions, effectively avoiding dosage errors caused by uneven cutting and providing strong protection for patient medication safety.

[0030] The dispensing device is also equipped with a housing 4, inside which is a groove 5. This groove 5 can accommodate both the first plate 1 and the second plate 2, providing a stable storage space for the various components of the dispensing device. This not only makes it easy to carry and store, but also effectively protects the key components of the dispensing device and extends its service life.

[0031] On both sides of the groove 5, a first mounting groove 51 and a second mounting groove 52 are respectively provided. Meanwhile, a first connecting rod 15 is fixedly mounted on the first plate 1, and a second connecting rod 25 is fixedly mounted on the second plate 2. The end of the first connecting rod 15 can be flexibly mounted on the first mounting groove 51, and the end of the second connecting rod 25 can also be flexibly mounted on the second mounting groove 52. With this design, the first plate 1 and the second plate 2 can rotate freely around the axes of the first connecting rod 15 and the second connecting rod 25.

[0032] In actual operation, the operator can easily tilt the first plate 1 and the second plate 2, changing the opening angle of the wedge-shaped groove 3, thus making it easier to accurately place the tablet into the wedge-shaped groove 3. To further optimize the flexibility and stability of this rotating connection, a first ball 16 is fixedly installed at the end of the first connecting rod 15, and a second ball 26 is fixedly installed at the end of the second connecting rod 25. The corresponding first mounting groove 51 and second mounting groove 52 are both designed as spherical grooves. This combination of spheres and spherical grooves can minimize friction during rotation, making the rotation of the first plate 1 and the second plate 2 smoother and more flexible.

[0033] Furthermore, limiting ports 6 are provided at the openings of both the first mounting groove 51 and the second mounting groove 52. The limiting ports 6 are vertically elongated. After the tablet enters the wedge-shaped groove 3, the operator only needs to gently press the first plate 1 and the second plate 2, and the first connecting rod 15 and the second connecting rod 25 will rotate around the limiting ports 6. During this process, the first plate 1 and the second plate 2 gradually close together, and the strong squeezing force breaks the tablet into two even pieces. After squeezing, the first plate 1 and the second plate 2 will quickly return to their original positions under the elastic force of the torsion spring, reassembling the wedge-shaped groove 3, preparing for the next dispensing operation.

[0034] On the side of the housing 4, there is a rectangular opening 7 that communicates with the groove 5. This rectangular opening 7 is crucial, as the first and second slices after being cut can be easily removed through the rectangular opening 7, facilitating subsequent packaging and distribution of the cut tablets by staff, and further improving the overall efficiency of pharmacy operations.

[0035] In conclusion, this pharmacy dispensing device, through its ingenious structural design, reasonable component matching, and humanized details, provides an efficient, accurate, and convenient solution for the tablet cutting work in hospital pharmacies, effectively ensuring patient medication safety and treatment efficacy.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
