Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dust control technology in construction, specifically a clamp-type adjustable pediatric tablet crusher. Background Technology

[0002] In pediatric settings, infants and young children are more susceptible to illness due to their weaker immune systems and susceptibility to external factors or viruses. Because their immune systems are still developing, medication is a common treatment method, encompassing both topical and oral applications. However, infants' esophagi are narrower, and many medications are bitter, making it difficult for them to swallow whole tablets. Therefore, pediatric tablet crushers are needed to precisely break down and pulverize tablets, improving the efficiency of medical staff, ensuring the safety and accuracy of medication for infants and young children, and aiding in their recovery.

[0003] Existing traditional pediatric tablet choppers are mostly fixed-size and cannot adapt to the different sizes of tablets commonly used in pediatrics. They also lack a stable limiting structure, making them prone to slipping during cutting, resulting in uneven cutting and affecting the safety of pediatric medication. In addition, tablet fragments are easily scattered after cutting, and pediatric medications often need to be ground into powder, requiring additional tools and making the process cumbersome. Furthermore, the blades are often exposed or not securely fixed, making them easy for children to accidentally touch, causing hand injuries, or the blades may become loose, affecting the cutting effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a clamping adjustable pediatric tablet crusher, which has the advantages of stable tablet fixation and high cutting accuracy, and solves the problems in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A clamp-type adjustable pediatric tablet crusher includes a medicine box with a lid hinged to the top. A crushing assembly for crushing tablets is installed on the medicine box. The crushing assembly includes a placement plate threaded to the top of the medicine box. The placement plate has two sets of grooves inside. A clamping frame is slidably connected to the top of the groove and slidably connected to the surface of the placement plate.

[0006] Preferably, a medicine placement groove is provided in the middle of the interior of the placement plate, and the medicine placement groove is located between the sliding grooves. A snap-fit ​​plate is slidably connected to the surface of the bottom end of the placement plate, and the snap-fit ​​plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the clamping frame by a connecting rod, and the snap-fit ​​plate is fixed to the placement plate by a locking rod.

[0007] It is worth noting that the design of the tablet placement slot located between the slides precisely limits the tablet placement position, preventing the tablets from shifting during clamping and ensuring accurate shredding. The linkage between the clamping plate and the clamping frame, along with the locking rod fixing structure, not only achieves adjustable clamping pressure, allowing for flexible adjustment according to the different hardness of pediatric tablets, but also fixes the clamping state through the locking rod, preventing uneven shredding due to loosening of the clamping force during clamping. At the same time, the sliding connection design makes the clamping frame operate more smoothly, meeting the strict requirements for tablet shredding accuracy when administering medication to children, and reducing tablet waste.

[0008] Preferably, the surface of the box lid near the medicine box has a slot, and a card holder is slidably connected inside the slot, and the card holder is slidably connected inside the box lid.

[0009] It is worth noting that the sliding connection structure between the card slot and the card holder allows for flexible movement of the card holder within the lid, facilitating adjustment of the card holder position according to the size of the tablets and adapting to different sizes of pediatric tablets. Furthermore, the sliding connection is simple to operate, allowing medical staff or parents to adjust the card holder without complex procedures. The card slot also acts as a limiter, preventing the card holder from detaching from the lid during use, thus improving the stability and convenience of the device and meeting the need for easy operation of pediatric medication tools.

[0010] Preferably, the card holder has a shredder inside, and the shredder is positioned between the box cover and the placement plate.

[0011] It is worth noting that the design of the shredder being snapped into place inside the holder facilitates its removal and replacement. When the shredder becomes worn or requires cleaning, it can be quickly removed to ensure its sharpness and hygiene, preventing issues from affecting the tablet shredding effect or causing drug contamination. The sliding connection between the shredder and the lid allows it to maintain a stable trajectory during shredding, ensuring that the tablets are shredded evenly. At the same time, the sliding structure reduces resistance during shredding, making operation easier and meeting the high requirements for uniform tablet shredding and hygiene in pediatric medications.

[0012] Preferably, the lid is fitted with limit posts at both ends near the medicine box, and the limit posts are located on both sides of the slot.

[0013] It is worth noting that the design of the limiting posts on both sides of the slot can accurately position the lid when it is closed on the medicine box, preventing the lid from shifting and causing the shredder to misalign with the medicine slot, ensuring that the shredder can accurately apply force to the tablets. At the same time, the limiting posts can also bear some pressure during the clamping and shredding process, preventing the slot from deforming due to excessive force, extending the service life of the equipment. In addition, the presence of the limiting posts makes the connection between the lid and the medicine box more stable, reducing shaking during shredding, improving shredding stability, and ensuring the accuracy of pediatric medication.

[0014] Preferably, the bottom of the medicine box is threadedly connected to a bottom box, and a grinding column is fixedly connected to the middle position of the bottom of the medicine box, and the grinding column is disposed inside the bottom box.

[0015] It is worth noting that the threaded connection between the medicine box and the bottom box makes disassembly convenient, facilitating the subsequent cleaning and retrieval of the ground medicine powder inside the bottom box. At the same time, the threaded connection provides good sealing, preventing the medicine powder from getting damp or contaminated during storage. The design of the grinding column located inside the bottom box can further grind the chopped tablets into fine powder, meeting the needs of some children who require powdered medicine in pediatric medications. Moreover, the grinding column is fixed at the bottom of the medicine box, making operation simple and labor-saving, requiring no additional tools, and enhancing the versatility and practicality of the device.

[0016] Preferably, the bottom of the medicine box is provided with a divider frame, and the divider frame is symmetrically arranged in the center. The top of the medicine box is symmetrically provided with a threaded ring, and the placement plate and the threaded ring are threadedly connected.

[0017] It is worth noting that the centrally symmetrical dividers can divide the inside of the medicine box into multiple independent spaces, which can store different types or sizes of tablets separately, avoiding mixed contamination of tablets and meeting the needs of pediatric medication classification and storage. The threaded connection structure between the placement plate and the threaded ring not only facilitates the installation and removal of the placement plate and makes it easy to clean the inside of the medicine box, but also allows the height of the placement plate inside the medicine box to be adjusted by rotating it, accommodating tablets of different thicknesses, improving the device's adaptability to tablets and enhancing its flexibility of use.

[0018] Preferably, a pressing rod is fixedly connected to the middle position of the top of the card holder, and the pressing rod is slidably connected to the inside of the box cover, and anti-slip frames are symmetrically arranged on the outer side of the bottom box.

[0019] It is worth noting that the design of the pressing lever provides a convenient point of force for operating the card holder. Medical staff or parents can easily crush the tablets by pressing the pressing lever, making the operation intuitive and effortless, and reducing the difficulty of pediatric medication operations. The anti-slip frame on the outside of the bottom box increases the friction between the hand and the bottom box, effectively preventing the bottom box from slipping and falling when rotating it for grinding or disassembling, thus improving operational safety. It is especially suitable for scenarios where one-handed operation is required during child care, ensuring the stability and safety of the equipment during use.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This invention utilizes a clamping frame slidably connected to the top of the tablet placement plate, which is pushed according to the tablet size. The clamping frame slides within a groove until it clamps the tablet in the placement groove. Through the cooperation of these three components, the clamping point can be quickly adjusted without disassembling any parts. The tablet is precisely aligned with the cutting position by sliding, avoiding the difficulty of finding the correct position and the need for repeated tablet adjustments required by traditional fixed clamping frames. At the same time, the bidirectional limiting effect of the two sets of grooves prevents lateral deviation or shaking, firmly fixing the tablet and preventing miscutting caused by tablet slippage during cutting. This minimizes tablet breakage and fragmentation during cutting, avoiding waste of medication due to discarded fragments, and ensuring that the child receives the accurate dosage.
