[0025] See Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a press-type micro-pellet drug dispenser, including a first cylindrical body 1. The inner cavity of the first cylindrical body 1 is provided with a drug chamber 2. The drug chamber 2 is cylindrical. The first cylindrical body 1 is sleeved on the drug chamber 2, and the inner wall of the first cylindrical body 1 is in contact with the outer wall of the drug chamber 2. The inside of the drug chamber 2 has a storage cavity 3. A drug outlet channel 4 is provided below the storage cavity 3. One end of the drug outlet channel 4 is connected to the bottom of the storage cavity 3, and the other end of the drug outlet channel 4 is connected to the outer wall of the drug chamber 2 to form a drug outlet. A plurality of first drug outlet notches 5 are opened on the lower end of the cylindrical wall of the first cylindrical body 1, and the first drug outlet notches 5 cooperate with the drug outlet.

[0026] It also includes a driving mechanism that drives the medicine chamber 2 to move along the inner wall of the first cylinder 1 so that the medicine outlet connects with or disconnects from the first medicine outlet notch 5.

[0027] The press-to-dispense device proposed in this technical solution helps children administer medication accurately, prevents drug contamination and waste, and allows users to easily extract the appropriate dose as needed. The operation process is simplified, and the medication administration efficiency is improved. It assists users in accurately dispensing the correct dosage and is characterized by precise, convenient, and hygienic medication dispensing.

[0028] In some embodiments, the driving mechanism includes a vertical tube 6, which is vertically fixed to the top of the medicine chamber 2 and communicates with the storage cavity 3. A spring 7 is sleeved on the vertical tube 6, with its two ends fixedly connected to the vertical tube 6 and the first cylinder 1, respectively. The spring 7 applies a force to the vertical tube 6 away from the medicine chamber 2. By pressing, the vertical tube 6 is driven to move downward so that the medicine outlet aligns with the first medicine outlet notch 5, and the pill in the storage cavity 3 is discharged from the first medicine outlet notch 5. After release, the vertical tube 6 is driven to reset by the rebound force of the spring 7, and the medicine outlet disengages from the first medicine outlet notch 5.

[0029] In some embodiments, to more precisely control the dispensing amount, a second cylinder 8 is fitted onto the lower end of the first cylinder 1. The inner wall of the second cylinder 8 contacts the outer wall of the first cylinder 1, and the bottom end of the second cylinder 8 extends below the first cylinder 1. A connecting part 9 is provided at the bottom end of the second cylinder 8, and the connecting part 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the medicine chamber 2. A second dispensing notch 10 is formed on the cylinder wall of the second cylinder 8, corresponding one-to-one with the first dispensing notch 5. When the dispensing port disengages from the first dispensing notch 5, the first dispensing notch 5 and the second dispensing notch 10 align. When the dispensing port aligns with the first dispensing notch 5, the medicine enters the first dispensing notch 5. When the dispensing port disengages from the first dispensing notch 5, the medicine in the first dispensing notch 5 is discharged from the second dispensing notch 10. This allows for the dispensing of a fixed amount of pill with each press, enabling more precise control of the dispensing amount.

[0030] In some embodiments, a cover 11 is further included, the top of which has a first through hole 12. The cover 11 covers the outside of the first cylindrical body 1, and the top end of the first cylindrical body 1 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cover 11. The vertical tube 6 passes through the first through hole 12, and the spring 7 is placed between the top end of the first cylindrical body 1 and the top of the inner cavity of the cover 11. The cover 11 covers the first cylindrical body 1, the spring 7, and the second cylindrical body 8, which can improve the appearance and prevent the spring 7 from pinching the hand when pressed.

[0031] In some embodiments, a drug receiving container 13 is disposed below the cover 11, with the top of the drug receiving container 13 abutting against the bottom of the cover 11. This enables contactless operation, preventing drug contamination. The entire process of dispensing, discharging, and retrieving medication can be completed using this device, reducing the risk of drug contamination. Retrieving medication through the drug receiving container 13 eliminates the need for hand contact, making it cleaner and more hygienic.

[0032] In some embodiments, a locking mechanism is provided at the top of the cover 11. The locking mechanism includes a ring 14. A recessed groove 17 is formed on the outer wall of the vertical tube 6. The ring 14 is fitted onto the recessed groove 17 on the vertical tube 6. A vertical groove 15 is also formed on the outer wall of the vertical tube 6. The bottom end of the vertical groove 15 communicates with the recessed groove 17. A protrusion 16 that matches the vertical groove 15 and the recessed groove 17 is fixedly connected to the inner edge of the ring 14. When the medicine compartment 2 is in the upper limit position, the lower edge of the recessed groove 17 is flush with the top of the cover 11. The locking mechanism can prevent children from accidentally pressing it. When in use, the vertical tube 6 must be rotated first so that the protrusion 16 is aligned with the vertical groove 15 to realize the pressing and dispensing function. When not in use, the vertical tube 6 is rotated so that the protrusion 16 is not aligned with the vertical groove 15, which can effectively prevent children from accidentally swallowing or touching it.

[0033] In some embodiments, the first dispensing notch 5 includes a plurality of second through holes, the second through holes penetrating the wall of the first cylinder 1. The second through holes can be made according to the specifications of the pill. For example, if the pill diameter is 1.5 mm, the second through hole can be made with a diameter of 2 mm.

[0034] In some embodiments, the number of second through holes in each of the first drug dispensing notches 5 is inconsistent. Different numbers of second through holes correspond to different drug dispensing amounts, so that users can select the first drug dispensing notch 5 as needed.

[0035] In some embodiments, a first mark is provided on the cover 11 at a position corresponding to each first medicine dispensing notch 5. The first mark indicates the number and position of the second through holes included in the corresponding first medicine dispensing notch 5. A second mark is provided on the vertical tube 6, and the second mark indicates the orientation of the medicine dispensing port. By indicating the orientation of the medicine dispensing port and the number and position of the second through holes included in each first medicine dispensing notch 5 by marking, it is convenient for the user to select and operate.

[0036] In some embodiments, a cap 18 is provided at the top of the vertical tube 6 to close the top opening of the tube. The cap 18 is detachably connected to the top of the vertical tube 6. The cap 18 can be constructed in the shape of a cartoon character to enhance the overall aesthetics of the device. The illustration shows a panda head shape, but other cartoon shapes can also be used.
