[0031] Traditional temperature-controlled pillboxes 100 offer a relatively uniform storage environment, making precise temperature control impossible based on the characteristics of different medications. This can lead to medications losing their efficacy due to inappropriate storage conditions, affecting treatment outcomes and patient safety. Existing pillboxes lack dynamic temperature-controlled zoning capabilities, failing to meet the diverse storage needs of different types of medications. This limits the application scope and practicality of temperature-controlled pillboxes 100 to some extent. Therefore, existing temperature-controlled pillboxes 100 are insufficient in terms of flexibility and precision in medication storage, failing to provide patients with a more comprehensive and personalized medication management solution.

[0032] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes a temperature-controlled medicine box 100, aiming to provide a medicine box capable of achieving zoned temperature control. Figures 1 to 4 This is a schematic diagram of one embodiment of the temperature-controlled medicine box 100 of this utility model.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 This utility model proposes a temperature-controlled medicine box 100, including a shell 1, a refrigeration device 2 and a control module 3. The shell 1 is formed with at least one first storage box 11 and at least one second storage box 12. The opening of each first storage box 11 and each second storage box 12 is covered with an openable and closable cover plate 4. The refrigeration device 2 is disposed inside the shell 1 and is used to cool each first storage box 11.

[0034] This utility model proposes a temperature-controlled medicine box 100, including a shell 1, a refrigeration device 2, and a control module 3. The shell 1 forms at least one first storage box 11 and at least one second storage box 12. Each first storage box 11 and each second storage box 12 has an openable and closable cover 4 at its opening. The first storage box 11 and the second storage box 12 are used to store medicines requiring refrigeration and medicines requiring room temperature storage, respectively. The refrigeration device 2 can refrigerate the first storage box 11, thereby lowering its storage temperature. Furthermore, when the temperature inside the first storage box 11 exceeds a preset temperature threshold, the control module 3 can adjust the refrigeration device 2 to adjust its cooling temperature. This temperature-controlled medicine box 100 achieves zoned temperature management of medicines, placing medicines requiring different storage conditions in different areas for storage, preventing the medicines from losing their medicinal properties due to improper storage environment, thus affecting treatment efficacy and patient safety. The first storage box 11 and the second storage box 12 respectively form a first storage cavity 11a and a second storage cavity 12a for storing medicines.

[0035] Understandably, to achieve zoned temperature control, a partition 15 is provided inside the housing 1, which divides the housing 1's accommodating cavity into a first cavity 1a and a second cavity 1b. Each first storage box 11 is located within the first cavity 1a. The cooling device 2 is used to cool the first cavity 1a. For details, please refer to further documentation. Figure 4 Different zones can meet the diverse temperature requirements of different types of medicines, ensuring that each medicine is stored in the most suitable environment to maximize its efficacy and prevent drug failure or deterioration due to improper storage conditions, thus guaranteeing treatment effectiveness and patient safety. On the other hand, zoned temperature control achieves efficient resource utilization, avoiding the energy waste of uniformly cooling or heating the entire medicine box, improving the energy efficiency ratio of the medicine box, and reducing operating costs. Furthermore, this design enhances the flexibility and practicality of the medicine box, enabling it to adapt to the storage needs of a wider variety of medicines, providing patients with a more comprehensive and personalized medicine management solution, and improving the market competitiveness and application scope of the medicine box.

[0036] Furthermore, the area for installing various electronic devices is separated from the first chamber 1a and the second chamber 1b for storing medications by a partition 15. This separation design effectively prevents the heat generated by the electronic devices during operation from interfering with the medication storage environment, ensuring more precise and stable temperature control in the medication storage area, thereby better preserving the medication's efficacy. Secondly, it helps prevent volatile components of the medication or leaked liquids from damaging the electronic devices, extending their lifespan and ensuring the long-term stable operation of the medication box. In addition, this layout facilitates the maintenance and upgrading of the electronic devices without contacting the medication storage area, improving operational safety and convenience. This not only enhances the safety and stability of medication storage but also strengthens the overall reliability and maintenance efficiency of the medication box, providing patients and healthcare personnel with a more reliable and convenient medication management tool. A switch 13 is located on the upper surface of the housing 1; pressing the switch 13 allows the temperature-controlled medication box 100 to be opened and closed.

[0037] In one embodiment of this application, the first storage box 11 is used to store drugs requiring low-temperature refrigeration, and the second storage box 12 is used to store drugs stored at room temperature. When the cooling power of the refrigeration equipment decreases, causing the temperature of the first storage box 11 to rise, an alarm device 5 is also provided inside the housing 1. The alarm device 5 issues an alarm based on the temperature inside the first cavity 1a collected by the temperature sensor. If the current temperature is higher than a preset temperature threshold, the main control board 32 controls the alarm device 5 to start an alarm, such as emitting a buzzer or flashing a warning light, to remind the user to change the temperature of the first storage box 11. Specifically, the user can adjust the power of the refrigeration device 2 through the touch screen 31. The user can access the operation interface through the touch screen 31 on the medicine box and manually adjust the power of the refrigeration device 2 to lower the temperature inside the first storage box 11, restoring it to a low-temperature refrigeration state suitable for storing drugs. This process realizes real-time monitoring and precise adjustment of the drug storage environment, ensuring that the drugs are always under safe storage conditions.

[0038] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the alarm device 5 is a buzzer, and a sound outlet 14 is provided on one side of the housing 1. The alarm device 5 is located near the sound outlet 14, ensuring that medical staff or patients can hear the alarm in a timely manner even in noisy environments, thus enabling a rapid response to abnormal temperature conditions. Secondly, installing the buzzer near the sound outlet 14 effectively enhances the sound propagation, making the alarm sound more focused and louder, further improving the reliability of the alarm. This design not only ensures the efficient implementation of the alarm function but also optimizes the spatial layout of the medicine box, making the structure more compact and reasonable, and improving the overall performance of the product and the user experience.

[0039] In the technical solution of this application, both the opening of the first storage box 11 and the opening of the second storage box 12 are covered with a cover plate 4. For details, please refer to further reference. Figure 1 and Figure 2 A pivot 41 is provided on one side of the cover plate 4. The pivot 41 is rotated and installed in the pivot hole at the edge of the opening of the first storage box 11 and the second storage box 12, thereby fixing the cover plate 4. To achieve a seal on the cover plate 4, the housing 1 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove. The side of the cover plate 4 facing the housing 1 is provided with a snap-fit ​​protrusion 42, which snaps into the snap-fit ​​groove. The end of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 42 away from the cover plate 4 is provided with a flexible protrusion 421, which is used to deform and abut against the inner wall of the snap-fit ​​groove. For details, please refer to further reading. Figure 3 The snap-fit ​​protrusion 42 engages with the snap-fit ​​groove on the housing 1, ensuring that the cover 4 is securely fixed at the opening of the storage box when closed, preventing the cover 4 from loosening or accidentally opening due to external force or vibration. The flexible protrusion 421 further enhances the sealing performance; its deformation against the inner wall of the snap-fit ​​groove effectively fills the tiny gaps between them, preventing external air, dust, or moisture from entering the storage box, thus better protecting the storage environment of the medicine and ensuring its quality and stability. This design not only improves the sealing and reliability of the medicine box but also enhances the product's durability and user experience.

[0040] In one embodiment of this application, the temperature-controlled medicine box 100 includes three first storage boxes 11 and three second storage boxes 12, which respectively store drugs stored at low temperature and drugs stored at room temperature. The three first storage boxes 11 can store drugs of the same type or drugs of different types, and the three second storage boxes 12 can similarly store drugs stored at room temperature.

[0041] To ensure stable placement of the temperature-controlled medicine box 100, four support parts 6 are provided at the bottom of the housing 1. For details, please refer to further documentation. Figure 4 The four support sections 6 are made of silicone. Silicone has excellent flexibility and shock absorption properties, effectively absorbing and cushioning external vibrations and impacts, thus protecting the medicines inside the box from damage and ensuring their safety and integrity. Secondly, the silicone support sections 6 provide stable support, making the box more stable when placed, preventing it from tilting or shaking due to uneven ground or external forces. Furthermore, silicone has good anti-slip properties, preventing the box from sliding on smooth surfaces, further enhancing its stability. This design not only improves the practicality and safety of the box but also enhances its environmental friendliness and user experience.

[0042] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
