Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heart failure nursing technology, and more specifically, to a medicine box for heart failure patients. Background Technology

[0002] A pillbox is a container used to store and manage medicines. It is commonly used in homes, medical institutions, or pharmacies. Pillboxes are designed and functionally diverse, aiming to improve the safety, convenience, and management efficiency of medicine storage.

[0003] With the fast pace of modern life, health management has become a focus for more and more people, and rational drug use is an indispensable part of health management. In order to help users better manage their medications, many pillboxes are designed with a multi-compartment structure, with each compartment used to store different medications that need to be taken in a day or for a period of time. The original intention of this design is to improve the accuracy and convenience of medication use and avoid missed or overdosed medications.

[0004] However, this multi-compartment design also brings some problems. Because the internal space of the pillbox is divided into multiple small compartments, each with a limited capacity, these compartments are often too small for users carrying larger medications or those who need to carry a large number of medications. Furthermore, when there are many types of medications in the pillbox, the small compartments can increase the time spent searching for specific medications, reducing ease of use. This is especially true for the elderly, who may encounter greater difficulties due to declining vision and hand dexterity.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to design a medicine box for patients with heart failure. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a medicine box for patients with heart failure.

[0007] The technical implementation scheme of this utility model is as follows: a medicine box for patients with heart failure, including a medicine box, a lid, a fixing component, a dehumidifying component, a separating component, and a lifting component. The lid is hinged to the medicine box. The fixing component and the dehumidifying component are provided on the medicine box. The separating component and the lifting component are provided inside the medicine box. The lifting component includes a connecting column, a connecting rod, a second connecting spring, and a third connecting block. The separating component has a connecting column. The connecting column has at least three sliding grooves. At least three connecting rods are slidably connected inside the connecting column. A second connecting spring is connected between each connecting rod and the connecting column. A third connecting block is connected to each connecting rod. The third connecting blocks are all located inside the sliding grooves on the connecting column.

[0008] As a further preferred embodiment, the separating assembly includes a mesh and a separating plate. The inner wall of the medicine box is connected to a number of separating plates that are the same as the number of connecting rods. The ends of the separating plates that do not contact the inner wall of the medicine box are connected to a connecting post. A mesh is slidably connected between the separating plates, and the mesh is connected to the adjacent connecting rod.

[0009] As a further preferred embodiment, the fixing component includes a first connecting block, a second connecting block, a locking block, and a first connecting spring. The first connecting block is connected to the lid, and the second connecting block is connected to the medicine box. The first connecting block and the second connecting block fit together. The locking block is slidably connected to the second connecting block. The side of the locking block closest to the first connecting block has an inclined surface. The locking block contacts the first connecting block, and the first connecting spring connects the locking block and the second connecting block.

[0010] As a further preferred embodiment, the dehumidification assembly includes a placement frame, a rubber ring, and a sealing ring. The bottom of the medicine box is threadedly connected to the placement frame for placing the dehumidifier. A rubber ring is connected to the outer wall of the placement frame, and a sealing ring is connected to the lid. The sealing ring is located outside the gap between the medicine box and the lid.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solution will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be noted that the terms "up," "down," "left," and "right" used in this document refer only to the position of the structure shown in the corresponding drawings. The serial numbers assigned to components in this document, such as "first," "second," etc., are only used to distinguish the described objects and have no sequential or technical meaning. Unless otherwise specified, terms such as "connection" and "linkage" in this application include both direct and indirect connections (linkages).

[0020] Example: A pillbox for patients with heart failure, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the assembly includes a medicine box 1, a lid 2, a fixing component, a dehumidifying component, a dividing component, and a lifting component. The lid 2 is hinged to the medicine box 1. The medicine box 1 is equipped with the fixing component and the dehumidifying component. The medicine box 1 contains the dividing component and the lifting component. The lifting component includes a connecting post 7, a connecting rod 9, a second connecting spring 10, and a third connecting block 11. The dividing component contains the connecting post 7, which has three sliding grooves. Three connecting rods 9 are slidably connected to the inside of the connecting post 7. Different colored labels are affixed to the connecting rods 9 and the connecting post 7. The second connecting spring 10 is connected to the connecting rods 9 and the connecting post 7 through spring seats. The third connecting block 11 is fixed to each connecting rod 9 and is located inside the sliding groove on the connecting post 7.

[0021] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the separating assembly includes a mesh 8 and a separating plate 12. The inner wall of the medicine box 1 is fixedly connected with a number of separating plates 12 equal to the number of connecting rods 9. The ends of the separating plates 12 that do not contact the inner wall of the medicine box 1 are connected to the connecting post 7. The mesh 8 is slidably connected to each of the separating plates 12. The mesh 8 is connected to the adjacent connecting rod 9 respectively. When the connecting rod 9 is pulled up, the second connecting spring 10 will be compressed, and the connecting rod 9 will move the mesh 8 upward, thereby raising the medicine placed on the mesh 8, making the medicine easier to see and take.

[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the fixing assembly includes a first connecting block 3, a second connecting block 4, a locking block 5, and a first connecting spring 6. The first connecting block 3 is connected to the lid 2, and the second connecting block 4 is fixedly connected to the medicine box 1. The first connecting block 3 and the second connecting block 4 fit together. The locking block 5 is slidably connected to the second connecting block 4. The side of the locking block 5 closest to the first connecting block 3 has an inclined surface. The locking block 5 contacts the first connecting block 3. The locking block 5 and the second connecting block 4 are both connected by the first connecting spring 6 through spring seats. Pulling the locking block 5 will compress the first connecting spring 6. When the locking block 5 loses contact with the upper side of the first connecting block 3, the lid 2 is opened by rotating it upwards, exposing the inside of the medicine box 1.

[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the dehumidification assembly includes a placement frame 13, a rubber ring 14, and a sealing ring 15. The bottom of the medicine box 1 is threadedly connected to the placement frame 13 for placing the desiccant. By rotating the placement frame 13, the placement frame 13 can be removed from the medicine box 1. The desiccant is placed inside the placement frame 13, and then the placement frame 13 is reinstalled back onto the medicine box 1. The desiccant can remove moisture from the air inside the medicine box 1, effectively preventing the medicine inside the medicine box 1 from getting damp. The outer wall of the placement frame 13 is fitted with a rubber ring 14, which can increase the friction between the hand and the placement frame 13, making it easy to remove the placement frame 13. A sealing ring 15 is adhered to the lid 2. The sealing ring 15 is located outside the gap between the medicine box 1 and the lid 2. The sealing ring 15 of the lid 2 can prevent moisture in the air from entering the medicine box 1 through the gap between the medicine box 1 and the lid 2, improving the sealing performance of the device.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a reminder 16. The reminder 16 is installed on the lid 2 by a fastener. The user can adjust the reminder 16 according to their own medication time. When it is time to take the medication, the reminder 16 will ring to remind the user to take the medication, so as to avoid the decrease in treatment effect caused by the user forgetting to take the medication.

[0025] When using this device to store medication, pull the locking block 5. The first connecting spring 6 will be compressed. When the locking block 5 disengages from the upper side of the first connecting block 3, turn the lid 2 upwards to expose the inside of the medicine box 1. The user can then classify and place the medications on the corresponding mesh 8 according to the different colored labels on the connecting rod 9 for easy retrieval later. After placing the medications, turn the lid 2 downwards. The first connecting block 3 will slide within the second connecting block 4. The bottom surface of the first connecting block 3 will move along the inclined surface on the locking block 5, thereby allowing the locking block 5 to... Moving away from the first connecting block 3, the first connecting spring 6 is compressed. When the first connecting block 3 returns to its original position, the first connecting spring 6 loses resistance, resetting the locking block 5 and repositioning the first connecting block 3, thereby fixing the lid 2 and ensuring the airtightness of the medicine box 1. The sealing ring 15 of the lid 2 prevents moisture in the air from entering the medicine box 1 through the gap between the medicine box 1 and the lid 2, improving the sealing performance of the device. When the patient needs to take out the medicine, first open the lid 2, then rotate the connecting rod 9 to make the third connecting block 11 disengage from the connecting post 7. After disengaging from the inside of the slide groove, pull up the connecting rod 9. The second connecting spring 10 will be compressed, and the connecting rod 9 will move the partition 8 upward, raising the medicine placed on the partition 8, making the medicine easier to see and retrieve, reducing the trouble for the user to search for medicine in the medicine box 1. After taking out the medicine, release the connecting rod 9. The second connecting spring 10 will move the partition 8 downward to reset. Then rotate the connecting rod 9 to make the third connecting block 11 re-fit with the slide groove on the connecting post 7. Rotate the placement frame 13 to remove the placement frame 13 from the medicine box 1. Place the desiccant in the placement frame 13, and then reinstall the placement frame 13 back onto the medicine box 1. The desiccant removes moisture from the air inside the medicine box 1, effectively preventing the medicine inside from getting damp and ensuring the quality of the medicine. The rubber ring 14 increases the friction between the user's hand and the placement frame 13, making it easier to disassemble the placement frame 13. The user can adjust the reminder 16 according to their own medication time. When it is time to take the medicine, the reminder 16 will ring to remind the user to take the medicine, avoiding the decrease in treatment effect caused by the user forgetting to take the medicine.
