[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0027] like Figures 1-3 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 A tablet cutter shown includes: The bottle body 1 has an opening at the top and a cutting platform 2 in the middle. Multiple circular marking lines 3 of different diameters are concentrically arranged on the cutting platform 2 to facilitate the positioning of tablets of different sizes, so that the tablets are located at the exact center of the cutting platform 2. The cover plate 6 is fastened to the bottle body 1 and includes a panel 601 located in the middle and a side plate 602 located at the edge of the panel 601. A guide hole 7 is provided in the middle of the panel 601. A pressure sleeve 10 is provided in the guide hole 7 and can slide up and down. An upper limit ring 11 and a lower limit ring 12 are respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the pressure sleeve 10. The pressure sleeve 10 is equipped with a blade body corresponding to the cutting table 2. A handle 15 is installed on the upper end of the pressure sleeve 10. The handle 15 is installed on the upper limit plate 11. The handle 15 is in a closed loop shape, which makes it easy to grip and press down. The height of the inner ring of the handle 15 is greater than the length of the blade body, so that the blade body can be replaced smoothly.

[0028] The tablet cutter cuts round tablets placed on the cutting table 2 by pressing down on the handle 15. The operation is simple; the blade's center is directly opposite the center of the tablet, and the pressure is vertically downward, resulting in even tablet cutting and improved treatment efficacy. The blade can be easily removed and installed from the top of the pressure sleeve 10 via a spiral mechanism, minimizing the risk of scratches to the user. Furthermore, the blade is available in various sizes and is threaded onto the cover plate 6, ensuring safe storage and quick, convenient blade replacement.

[0029] A return mechanism is provided between the pressure sleeve 10 and the panel 601, so that after the cover plate 6 is fastened onto the bottle body 1, the blade can move away from the cutting table 2 when the handle 15 is not pressed. When the cover plate 6 is placed on the bottle 1 after placing a tablet on the cutting table 2, the blade is prevented from touching the tablet. In one embodiment, the return mechanism is a spring 16, which is sleeved on the pressure sleeve 10 between the panel 601 and the upper limit ring 11. In another embodiment, the return mechanism includes two mutually attracting magnets disposed on the lower limit ring 12 and the panel 601.

[0030] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the inner wall of the pressure sleeve 10 is provided with a second threaded hole 13, and the cutter body includes a stud 17 threadedly connected in the second threaded hole 13 and a blade provided at the lower end of the stud 17. The top of the stud 17 is provided with a handle 19 for rotating the stud 17.

[0031] The panel 601 also has several first threaded holes 8, which are adapted to the studs 17 in the blade body. The blade body has multiple configurations depending on the blade type, each threadedly connected to one of the first threaded holes 8 or the other of the second threaded holes 13. The blades are configured with a slotted blade 20, a Y-shaped blade 21, and a cross-shaped blade 22, capable of cutting tablets into two, three, or four equal parts. The axis of the stud 17 passes through the center of the blade. There are two first threaded holes 8. Furthermore, depending on the work requirements, the blade body can be configured in various other ways to divide tablets into five or six equal parts, requiring a corresponding number of first threaded holes 8 for storing the blade body.

[0032] like Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a first countersunk groove 9 is provided on the outer side of the upper end of the first threaded hole 8 on the panel 601, and a second countersunk groove 14 is provided on the outer side of the upper end of the second threaded hole 13 on the stud 17. A limiting plate 18 is provided on the upper end of the stud 17, which is adapted to the diameter and depth of the first countersunk groove 9 and the second countersunk groove 14. When the cutter body is screwed into the threaded hole through the stud 17, it is limited by the limiting plate 18. By setting the countersunk groove, the upper surfaces of the cover plate 6 and the pressure sleeve 10 can be made smoother and more aesthetically pleasing.

[0033] As a further optimization, the bottom of the bottle body 1 is provided with a non-slip buffer pad 5 made of rubber or silicone to prevent the bottle body 1 from sliding on the table when cutting the tablets, and at the same time reduce the noise generated during the cutting process; the bottle body 1 and the cover plate 6 are made of transparent material, so that the cutting of the tablets inside can be easily observed during the cutting process.

[0034] As a further optimization, the upper surface of the cutting table 2 is lower than the upper end of the bottle mouth of the bottle body 1, so as to reserve sufficient space for the pressure sleeve 10 to move up and down.

[0035] In this embodiment, the side plates 602 of both the bottle body 1 and the cover plate 6 are cylindrical, and the outer diameter of the bottle body 1 is adapted to the inner diameter of the side plate 602. The cutting table 2 is cylindrical and coincides with the axis of the bottle body 1. The axis of the guide hole 7 coincides with the axis of the side plate 602, so that after the cover plate 6 is fastened on the bottle body 1, the center of the marking line 3 on the cutting table 2 corresponds vertically to the center position of the blade.

[0036] The panel 601 has a certain thickness, allowing the guide hole 7 to guide the pressure sleeve 10 vertically, preventing the sleeve 10 from swinging left and right. It also allows the first threaded hole 8 to have a certain thread length, enabling the stud 17 to be effectively fixed within the first threaded hole 8. The overall thickness of the cover plate 6 is greater than the length of the blade body, ensuring the blade body is located inside the cover plate 6 to prevent injury.

[0037] Usage process: Open the cover plate 6 and replace the appropriate blade onto the pressure sleeve 10 according to the slitting requirements; Place the round tablet in the center of the cutting table 2, referring to the marking line 3. The cover plate 6 is fastened onto the bottle body 1, and the inner wall of the side plate 602 fits perfectly with the outer wall of the bottle body 1, ensuring the concentricity of the blade and the cutting table 2. After the panel 601 is attached to the top of the bottle 1, press down on the handle 11 to cut the tablets into the required number of portions using the blade, open the cover 6, and remove the cut tablets.

[0038] 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; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
