Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical supplies technology, and in particular to a rotating magnetic positioning medicine box. Background Technology

[0002] In modern life, many people, especially those with chronic diseases or requiring long-term medication, often need to take multiple medications daily for extended periods. Without a medication repackaging and management tool, medication chaos can easily occur, such as forgetting to take medication, taking the same medication twice, or taking the wrong medication. This not only affects treatment effectiveness but can also lead to serious consequences like adverse drug reactions. Pillboxes that repackage medications for a specific period effectively solve these problems. They provide a simple and intuitive way to categorize and store medications for different times of day, making it easier and more accurate for people to follow their doctor's instructions, thus better ensuring the continuity and effectiveness of treatment and protecting the patient's health.

[0003] Currently, most pillboxes are flip-top type. Flip-top pillboxes have relatively poor sealing. When one compartment is opened to retrieve medication, the medications in the other compartments are exposed to air, allowing humid air to easily enter the box and cause the medications to become damp. Furthermore, when the box is opened, a large amount of oxygen enters and comes into direct contact with the medications, triggering an oxidation reaction. Each time the box is opened, the medications in the other compartments come into contact with oxygen. With each repeated opening, the oxidation of the medications becomes increasingly severe, ultimately affecting the quality and safety of the medications. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a rotary magnetic positioning medicine box, which can effectively solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is:

[0006] According to one aspect of the present invention, it includes: a lower shell, an upper shell, and a plurality of medicine cups. The upper shell is rotatably fastened to the upper shell. The upper shell has a plurality of medicine cup slots for mounting medicine cups distributed in a ring at intervals, and each medicine cup is movably inserted into each medicine cup slot. A second magnet is fixed at one end of each medicine cup. A plurality of first magnets that attract each other to the second magnets are distributed on the inner circumferential surface of the lower shell. A protrusion for pushing the medicine cup out of the medicine cup slot is provided at one end of the lower shell extending toward the upper shell.

[0007] Furthermore, the second magnet is fixedly embedded in the lower end of the medicine cup, and a fifth magnet that attracts the second magnet is fixedly embedded in the upper surface of the protrusion.

[0008] Furthermore, at least one end face of the protrusion along the axial rotation direction is connected to the lower housing to form a sloping surface.

[0009] Furthermore, a mounting base is provided extending from the axis of the lower housing toward the upper housing, and a limiting hole is formed in the mounting base. A buckle that can be elastically deformed is provided extending from the axis of the upper housing toward the limiting hole. The buckle passes through the limiting hole and engages with the limiting hole.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a first fixing plate and a second fixing plate. The first fixing plate is fixedly embedded in the mounting base, and the second fixing plate is fixedly embedded in the upper housing. The first fixing plate is provided with a plurality of third magnets at intervals, and the second fixing plate is provided with a plurality of fourth magnets that attract each other to the third magnets.

[0011] Furthermore, a bearing is also assembled between the first fixing plate and the buckle.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a paddle, with toothed rings distributed above the buckle, the paddle being fixedly embedded in the inner circumferential surface of the mounting base, and the paddle cooperating with the toothed grooves of the toothed ring.

[0013] Furthermore, the inner circumferential surface of the mounting base is provided with a fixing groove, and a fixing block is provided extending from one end of the lever toward the fixing groove. The fixing block is fixedly inserted into the fixing groove, and at least one end of the fixing block is provided with a boss extending in the horizontal direction, and the boss abuts against the mounting base.

[0014] Furthermore, both the lower and upper shells have anti-slip textures distributed on their outer peripheral surfaces.

[0015] Furthermore, the lower housing has a plurality of mounting holes, and the lower housing is mounted to the wall through the plurality of mounting holes.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows:

[0017] Firstly, this utility model adopts a rotating design, where only one medicine cup is ejected at a time via magnetic positioning, while the other medicine cups remain sealed, effectively isolating them from the intrusion of external moisture and oxygen. Compared with traditional flip-top medicine boxes, this avoids the problem of multiple medicine compartments being exposed at the same time, significantly reducing the risk of medicines getting damp and oxidized, and ensuring the quality and safety of medicines. Through the magnetic attraction between the medicine cup and the lower shell, the medicine cup remains stably attracted during rotation, preventing accidental detachment due to gravity or vibration.

[0018] Secondly, when the medicine box is wall-mounted through the mounting hole, the fifth magnet continuously attracts the second magnet at the bottom of the medicine cup as the protrusion pushes the medicine cup out. This design provides additional fixation through magnetic attraction when the medicine cup is pushed out of the medicine cup slot, offsetting the risk of the medicine cup falling off due to gravity or external vibration, ensuring that the medicine cup only extends partially but does not completely detach, avoiding medicine spillage or the medicine cup falling off. It is especially suitable for vertical use scenarios and significantly improves the safety of medicine dispensing operations.

[0019] Thirdly, the design of the elastically deformable buckle and limiting hole allows the upper and lower housings to be fastened together with a simple pressing action, without the need for tools or complex operations. This greatly simplifies the assembly and maintenance process, improves production efficiency, and enhances user maintenance convenience. After the buckle passes through the limiting hole, the boss at its end forms a mechanical lock with the slot. Combined with the support of the bearing, this ensures axial stability when the upper housing rotates, reducing wobbling or offset. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0029] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be particularly noted that the following embodiments are only for illustrating the present invention and do not limit the scope of the present invention. Similarly, the following embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this solution provides a rotating magnetic positioning medicine box.

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The device includes a lower housing 1, an upper housing 2, and several medicine cups 3, each with a sealing cap. The upper housing 2 is rotatably fastened to the upper housing 1. The upper housing 2 has several medicine cup slots 21 spaced out in a ring for mounting the medicine cups 3, and each medicine cup 3 is movably inserted into each medicine cup slot 21. A second magnet 31 is fixed at one end of each medicine cup 3. Several first magnets 13 that attract the second magnets 31 are distributed on the inner circumferential surface of the lower housing 1. A protrusion 12 extending from one end of the lower housing 1 toward the upper housing 2 is provided for pushing the medicine cup 3 out of the medicine cup slot 21. Specifically, the second magnets 31 are fixedly embedded in the lower end of the medicine cup 3, and several first magnets 13 are fixedly embedded in the lower housing 1, with the positions of the several first magnets 13 and several second magnets 31 corresponding one-to-one. A fifth magnet 121 that attracts the second magnets 31 is fixedly embedded on the upper surface of the protrusion 12. When the medicine box is wall-mounted through the mounting hole 17, as the protrusion 12 pushes out the medicine cup 3, the fifth magnet 121 continuously attracts the second magnet 31 at the lower end of the medicine cup 3. This design provides additional fixation through magnetic attraction even when the medicine cup 3 is pushed out of the medicine cup slot 21, counteracting the risk of the medicine cup falling off due to gravity or external vibration. It ensures that the medicine cup 3 only extends partially but does not completely detach, preventing the medicine 3 from scattering or the medicine cup from falling. This is especially suitable for vertical use scenarios, significantly improving the safety of medicine dispensing operations.

[0032] In this embodiment, there are 8 medicine cup slots 21 and 7 medicine cups 3, one of which is an empty medicine cup slot 21 to accommodate the protrusion 12.

[0033] At least one end face of the protrusion 12 along the axial rotation direction is connected to the lower housing 1 to form a ramp surface 122. Preferably, both end faces of the protrusion 12 along the axial rotation direction are connected to the lower housing 1 to form ramp surfaces 122. The ramp surface 122 of the protrusion 12 is designed to guide the medicine cup 3 to be smoothly ejected, and with magnetic fixation, the user can easily take the medicine with one hand.

[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 7 A mounting base 11 extends from the axial center of the lower housing 1 toward the upper housing 2, and a limiting hole 16 is formed in the mounting base 11. A resiliently deformable buckle 24 extends from the axial center of the upper housing 2 toward the limiting hole 16, and the buckle 24 passes through the limiting hole 16 and engages with the limiting hole 16. A boss extends outward from the lower outer circumference of the buckle 24, and several grooves are provided at intervals at the lower end of the buckle 24.

[0035] Please see Figures 1 to 7 The system also includes a first fixing plate 14 and a second fixing plate 25. The first fixing plate 14 is fixedly embedded in the mounting base 11, and the second fixing plate 25 is fixedly embedded in the upper housing 2. The first fixing plate 14 has several third magnets 141 embedded at intervals, and the second fixing plate 25 has several fourth magnets 251 that attract each other to the third magnets 141. A bearing 5 is also assembled between the first fixing plate 14 and the buckle 24. The lower end face of the bearing 5 forms a groove with the limiting hole 16. When the lower end of the buckle 24 passes through the bearing 5, the grooves at the lower end of the buckle 24 allow it to deform and retract inward until the protrusion at the lower end of the buckle 24 passes through the bearing 5 and engages with the groove. The design of the elastically deformable buckle 24 and the limiting hole 16 allows the upper housing 2 and the lower housing 1 to be fastened by a simple pressing action, without the need for tools or complicated operations, greatly simplifying the assembly and maintenance process, improving production efficiency and user maintenance convenience. After the buckle 24 is inserted into the limiting hole 16, the boss at its end forms a mechanical lock with the slot. With the support of the bearing 5, it ensures axial stability when the upper housing 2 rotates, reducing shaking or deviation.

[0036] Please see Figures 1 to 6It also includes a paddle 4, and a toothed ring 23 distributed above the buckle 24. The paddle 4 is fixedly embedded in the inner circumferential surface of the mounting base 11, and the paddle 4 cooperates with the toothed groove of the toothed ring 23. Specifically, the inner circumferential surface of the mounting base 11 is provided with a fixing groove 111. One end of the paddle 4 extends toward the fixing groove 111 and is provided with a fixing block 41. The fixing block 41 is fixedly inserted into the fixing groove 111, and at least one end of the fixing block 41 extends horizontally and is provided with a boss 42, which abuts against the mounting base 11. When the upper housing 2 rotates, it will drive the toothed ring 23 to rotate, and the paddle 4 moves from the toothed groove of the toothed ring 23 to the next toothed groove, making a "tick" sound. Every two toothed grooves correspond to one medicine cup slot 21. When the medicine cup slot 21 rotates one slot, the paddle 4 passes through two toothed grooves, making two "tick" sounds. The paddle 4 engages with the toothed grooves of the gear ring 23, producing a clear "tick" sound as the upper housing 1 rotates, providing auditory confirmation to the user and allowing for tactile feedback of the rotation being complete. Each rotation corresponds to two "ticks," helping the user accurately count and avoid over- or under-rotation, ensuring the target medicine cup 3 is precisely aligned with the medication dispensing position. This clear feedback mechanism effectively reduces the risk of user error, especially suitable for people with poor eyesight or limited hand dexterity, enabling them to complete the medication dispensing operation intuitively and confidently, improving medication adherence and safety.

[0037] Please see Figures 1 to 6 Both the lower housing 1 and the upper housing 2 have anti-slip textures 10 distributed on their outer circumferential surfaces. The anti-slip textures 10 enhance the grip stability of the lower housing 1 and the upper housing 2, reducing operational errors.

[0038] Please see Figure 2 The lower housing 1 has several mounting holes 17, through which it is mounted to a wall (not shown). The mounting holes 17 support wall mounting of the medicine box, allowing users to choose flexibly according to their usage scenarios. If the user needs to hang the medicine box on the wall, the mounting holes 17 can be used in conjunction with nails (not shown) or other components on the wall to fix the medicine box to the wall.

[0039] Working principle:

[0040] The medicine cup 3 is precisely positioned by being attracted to the first magnet 13 on the inner circumference of the lower housing 1 via the second magnet 31. Each medicine cup 3 remains stable during rotation, preventing accidental detachment. When the user rotates the upper housing 2, when the target medicine cup 3 rotates to the position of the protrusion 12 on the lower housing 1, the medicine cup 3 is pushed out of the medicine cup slot 21 by the guiding action of the ramp surface 122. The fifth magnet 121 on the protrusion 12 is attracted to the second magnet 31 of the medicine cup 3, preventing the medicine cup 3 from falling and facilitating medicine retrieval.

[0041] The upper housing 2 and the lower housing 1 are fastened to the limiting hole 16 by the buckle 24 to ensure structural stability during rotation.

[0042] The paddle 4 engages with the toothed groove of the gear ring 23, producing a ticking sound when rotated, providing tactile and auditory feedback to help the user confirm whether the medicine cup 3 is in place.
