Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medicine box technology, specifically a reminder medicine box for the elderly. Background Technology

[0002] As society ages, more and more elderly people need to take medication long-term to control various chronic diseases. However, due to memory decline, the elderly often forget to take their medication, take the wrong medication due to unclear dosage, or even take the same medication twice, which can cause irreparable damage to their health and affect their medication safety.

[0003] Most existing medicine boxes are inconvenient to carry, making it difficult for elderly people to take them with them when they go out. In addition, most existing medicine boxes require the elderly to reach into the box to take out the medicine, which is difficult for them due to their limited hand and foot mobility. In order to make the medicine box more portable and convenient for the elderly to take out the medicine, we propose a reminder medicine box for the elderly. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a pillbox for the elderly. By placing the pills to be taken into the corresponding numbered storage compartments and then assembling multiple pillboxes together, it greatly facilitates the elderly in carrying the pills when going out. At the same time, when the elderly need the pills, they only need to slide the curved cover and pour them out, thus solving the problem of difficulty in obtaining medication for the elderly.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A pillbox for elderly people includes a control box with several pillboxes installed below it. Each pillbox includes a storage compartment with an arc-shaped groove. An arc-shaped cover is slidably mounted on the storage compartment and slides within the arc-shaped groove. Several springs are installed within the arc-shaped groove. The upper end of the storage compartment has an external thread section, and the lower end has an internal thread section. The external and internal thread sections cooperate to connect multiple pillboxes together. The control box is threadedly connected to one group of pillboxes.

[0006] Preferably, a timer and a buzzer are fixedly installed inside the control box. A limit ring is provided above the timer and is fixedly connected to the control box. A button battery is installed above the limit ring and a control panel is installed above the button battery. The control panel is fixedly connected to the control box.

[0007] Preferably, the arc-shaped cover plate is engraved with numerical markings.

[0008] Preferably, the control box has several sound outlet holes.

[0009] Preferably, the arc-shaped cover plate is integrally fitted with a raised strip.

[0010] Preferably, the limiting ring has several wire through holes.

[0011] This invention provides a pill-reminder box for the elderly. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages: 1. This is a pillbox for the elderly. By placing the pills to be taken into the corresponding numbered storage compartments and then assembling multiple pillboxes together, it greatly facilitates the elderly in carrying the pills when going out. At the same time, when the elderly need the pills, they only need to slide the curved cover and pour them out, which solves the problem of the elderly having difficulty in taking medicine.

Detailed Implementation

[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0015] Please see Figure 1-7This utility model provides a technical solution: a reminder medicine box for the elderly, including a control box 1, with several medicine boxes 2 installed below the control box 1. Each medicine box 2 includes a medicine storage compartment 13, with an arc-shaped fitting groove 5 on the medicine storage compartment 13. An arc-shaped cover plate 15 is slidably installed on the medicine storage compartment 13, sliding within the arc-shaped fitting groove 5. Several springs 16 are installed within the arc-shaped fitting groove 5. An external thread section 14 is provided at the upper end of the medicine storage compartment 13, and an internal thread section 4 is provided at the lower end of the medicine storage compartment 13. The external thread section 14 and the internal thread section 4 cooperate to splice multiple sets of medicine boxes 2 together. The control box 1 is threadedly connected to a set of medicine boxes 2. This design is not only convenient; the arc-shaped cover plate 15 is engraved with a number 3; and a raised strip 17 is integrally installed on the arc-shaped cover plate 15. In use, the required medication is placed into the corresponding medicine storage compartment 13. Then, multiple medicine boxes 2 are assembled together with the cooperation of the external thread section 14 and the corresponding internal thread section 4. The control box 1 is then threaded onto the first medicine box 2 to seal it, which greatly facilitates the elderly in carrying it when going out. When medication is needed, the elderly slide the arc-shaped cover plate 15 through the protrusion 17 with the cooperation of the arc-shaped groove 5, and then pour out the pills inside the medicine storage compartment 13. Then, under the action of multiple springs 16, the sliding arc-shaped cover plate 15 will be reset, thereby sealing the medicine storage compartment 13. This design effectively solves the problem of the elderly having difficulty in taking medicine.

[0016] A timer 7 and a buzzer 8 are fixedly installed inside the control box 1. A limit ring 9 is set above the timer 7 and is fixedly connected to the control box 1. A button battery 11 is installed above the limit ring 9 and a control panel 12 is installed above the button battery 11 and is fixedly connected to the control box 1. Several sound outlet holes 6 are opened on the control box 1. Several wire through holes 10 are opened on the limit ring 9. In use, the timer 7 is first set via the control panel 12. When the time is up, the control panel 12 sends a signal to the buzzer 8, which then emits a sound. The sound is transmitted through several sound holes 6 on the control box 1. When the elderly hear the sound, they press a button on the control panel 12 to stop the buzzer 8. The button battery 11 provides power to the control panel 12, and the wire through hole 10 is used to accommodate the installation of wires.

[0017] Working principle: When in use, the medicine to be taken each time is placed into the corresponding medicine storage compartment 13. Then, the external thread section 14 and the corresponding internal thread section 4 cooperate to splice multiple medicine boxes 2 together. Then, the control box 1 is threaded to the first medicine box 2 to seal it. Then, the timer 7 is timed through the control panel 12. When the time comes, the control panel 12 sends a signal to the buzzer 8, and the buzzer 8 emits a prompt sound. The sound is transmitted through several sound holes 6 on the control box 1. When the elderly hear the prompt sound, they press the button on the control panel 12, and the buzzer 8 stops working. Then, with the cooperation of the arc-shaped groove 5, the elderly slide the arc-shaped cover 15 through the protrusion 17 and pour out the pills inside the medicine storage compartment 13. Then, under the action of multiple sets of springs 16, the sliding arc-shaped cover 15 will be reset, thereby sealing the medicine storage compartment 13. The button battery 11 provides power to the control panel 12, and the wire through hole 10 is used to accommodate the installation of the wire. This design not only makes it convenient for the elderly to carry when they go out, but also solves the problem of the elderly having difficulty in obtaining medicine.
