Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical auxiliary equipment technology, specifically to a monitoring medicine box. Background Technology

[0002] Medications are typically packaged in specific quantities in pillboxes or other forms. For patients who need to take medication long-term, such as elderly people with poor memory, this can lead to situations where they miss taking specific medications at the prescribed times or take the same medication twice, resulting in the treatment not achieving the desired effect. In hospitals or nursing homes, medication is administered and reminded by designated personnel. Pillboxes are usually placed in pill cups, and the medications are then handed to the patients or elderly individuals one by one. This traditional method is inefficient, prone to errors, and poses safety risks.

[0003] For example, a medicine box disclosed in Chinese Patent CN201939634U includes a box body with several independent chambers. A sealing plate is provided on the back of the box body to seal each independent chamber. Several days' worth of medication is divided into the independent chambers and sealed with the sealing plate. A QR code is affixed to each chamber corresponding to the sealing plate. Before dispensing, the QR code is scanned by a QR code reader to verify its accuracy. Once verified, the corresponding sealing plate area at the top of the chamber is torn open for consumption. This prevents mis-dispensing of medication, which could lead to accidental ingestion and adverse reactions, and also prevents contamination of the medication during delivery, thus avoiding any impact on its efficacy.

[0004] However, the sealed plate is directly exposed, making it extremely easy to be scratched, squeezed, or accidentally punctured during transportation and carrying, causing unexpired drugs to be exposed prematurely, become damp, or even fall apart, or causing the surface of the medicine box to become dirty during storage, affecting the efficacy of the medicine or even causing poisoning when taking it.

[0025] Figure 4 This is an explosion diagram of the monitoring medicine box of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0026] The present invention will be further described and illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings: Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 A monitoring medicine box includes an outer box body 10, an inner tray body 20, a sealing film 30, and an information sheet 40.

[0027] The outer box 10 includes a bottom box 11, a top cover 12, and a connecting part 13. One side of the connecting part 13 is connected to one side of the top cover 12, and the other side is connected to one side of the bottom box 11. The top cover 12 and the bottom box 11 are integrated through the connecting part 13. The connecting part 13 allows the top cover 12 to be flipped relative to the bottom box 11, closing or opening the top cover 12 and the bottom box 11. The connecting part 13 is an accordion-style elastic structure, such as an "n" shape, an "m" shape, or a multi-layered overlapping accordion-style elastic structure. The connecting part 13 has one or more bending parts 131, which form a repeatedly foldable elastic folding unit. As a preferred embodiment, the bending part 131 is arc-shaped, has a large elastic deformation, and is not easily broken even after repeated bending. When subjected to external force, the accordion-style elastic structure can elastically contract and deform to absorb impact energy and prevent the top cover 12 and the bottom box 11 from being broken or damaged by impact.

[0028] The bottom box 11 is provided with a protrusion 112, a protrusion sidewall 113 and a protrusion edge 114. In this embodiment, the protrusion 112 on the bottom box 11 protrudes to the upper cover 12. The protrusion 112 is provided with a plurality of independent placement compartments 111. The side wall 113 of the protrusion away from the connecting part 13 on the bottom box 11 is provided with a slot 1131. In this embodiment, the adjacent side walls 113 of the protrusion are provided with slots 1131.

[0029] The upper cover 12 has a recess 121 and a recess edge 123. The recess 121 of the upper cover 12 is used to accommodate the protrusion 112 of the bottom box 11. An accommodating space is formed between the recess 121 of the upper cover 12 and the protrusion 112 of the bottom box 11 for accommodating the inner support 20. The side wall 122 of the recess 121 has a snap-fit ​​part 1221 that corresponds to the snap-fit ​​groove 1131 of the side wall 113 of the protrusion. When the upper cover 12 is fastened to the bottom box 11, the snap-fit ​​part 1221 on the upper cover 12 is snapped into place with the snap-fit ​​groove 1131 on the bottom box 11. The protrusion edge 114 of the bottom box 11 and the recess edge of the upper cover 12 are also connected. The inner support 20 is fitted together to prevent it from falling out of the accommodating space between the recess 121 of the upper cover 12 and the protrusion 112 of the bottom box 11, thus avoiding dirt on the surface of the inner support 20. As a preferred embodiment, the four sides of the protrusion sidewall 113 are provided with slots 1131, which can engage with the corresponding snap-fit ​​parts 1221 on the recess sidewall 122 of the upper cover 12, forming a four-sided encircling multi-point lock, ensuring that the upper cover 12 and the bottom box 11 will not loosen when subjected to external force in any direction after being closed, and at the same time, the protrusion edge 114 and the recess edge 123 are always tightly fitted to prevent the inner support 20 from accidentally falling out and contaminating the surface of the inner support 20.

[0030] The protruding edge 114 and the corresponding concave edge 123 have at least some differences in size. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 3Because the dimensions of the convex edge 114 and the corresponding concave edge 123 are different, a misalignment is formed. When the outer box 10 is fastened, the convex edge 114 and the concave edge 123 can be separated by moving the misaligned area by hand, thereby opening the upper cover 12 and the bottom box, making it convenient to take out the medicine.

[0031] In other embodiments, the protruding sidewall 113 on the bottom box 11 and the recessed sidewall 122 on the top cover 12 may also be provided with other engaging snap-fit ​​structures, so that the bottom box 11 and the protrusion 112 are snap-fitted to the recess 121 on the top cover 12; for example, an elastic barb is provided on the protruding sidewall 113, and a lock hole is opened at the corresponding position on the recessed sidewall 122. When fastened, the barb is engaged in the lock hole, and pressing the barb can unlock it.

[0032] The information sheet 40 can be pasted onto the outer box 10. However, cleaning the outer box 10 is cumbersome when it is reused. In this embodiment, the recess 121 of the upper cover 12 has at least one pair of wire grooves 1211 at its corners. The information sheet 40 is diagonally engaged in the wire grooves 1211. The information sheet 40 can be located on the inner or outer surface of the upper cover 12, thus better protecting the information sheet 40 and preventing it from falling off or getting dirty. As a preferred option, the information sheet 40 is located on the inner surface of the upper cover 12. Furthermore, when the outer box 10 is reused, simply removing the old information sheet 40, inserting a new information sheet 40, and replacing the inner tray 20 allows for reuse of the outer box 10, minimizing costs.

[0033] The inner tray 20 is provided with a plurality of medicine storage compartments 21, each with an opening 211. Ribs are provided between the openings of adjacent medicine storage compartments 21. A sealing film 30 covers the side of the inner tray 20 with the opening 211 to seal the medicine or nutritional supplement in the medicine storage compartment 21. The sealing film 30 has die-cut lines to facilitate the removal of the medicine or nutritional supplement from the medicine storage compartment 21. The medicine storage compartments 21 correspond to the placement compartments 111 on the protrusion 112. The medicine storage compartments 21 on the inner tray 20 are arranged in an R-row * C-column pattern, specifically 7 rows and 4 columns in this embodiment, representing a one-week medication cycle. This corresponds to the medication dosage for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and supper for the first to seventh days. Each column of medicine storage compartments 21 has the same size, but the size of medicine storage compartments 21 in different columns may differ, depending on the actual situation. Different medications have different medication cycles, and may require an interval of one or more days before re-administration. Therefore, some medicine storage compartments 21 may be empty.

[0034] In other embodiments, depending on the patient's condition and the type of medication, the outer box 10 may also be configured with, but not limited to, 3, 5, 10, 15, or even 30 rows. The outer box 10 can be configured with corresponding medication cycles based on the patient's medication schedule, medication storage conditions, and expiration date, corresponding to 3 days, 5 days, 10 days, 15 days, and 30 days respectively. It may also be configured with, but not limited to, 1, 2, 3, or even 5 columns, corresponding to the number of times medication is taken daily based on the patient's condition and physical state. Preferably, a 7-row, 4-column outer box 10 is used. If the patient does not need to take the medication 4 times a day, the unused storage compartments 21 can be emptied. Generally, a 7-row, 4-column outer box 10 provides a suitable storage time for the medication, helping to maintain its efficacy and preventing expiration or ineffectiveness.

[0035] The encapsulation film 30 includes an adhesive layer 32 and a cover layer. The cover layer consists of several spaced cover sheets 31, each corresponding to a medicine storage compartment 21. The cover sheet 31 is slightly larger than the opening of the medicine storage compartment 21. The cover sheet adheres to the adhesive layer 32, and the adhesive layer 32 adheres to the support ribs on the inner support body 20. The cover sheet 31 closes the opening of the medicine storage compartment 21. The die-cut line is located on the adhesive layer 32. Because the adhesive layer 32 on the medicine storage compartment 21 has a die-cut line, and the cover sheets 31 are spaced apart (i.e., the cover sheets 31 are not a single unit), pressing down on the encapsulation film 30 on the medicine storage compartment 21 easily causes the encapsulation film 30 to break along the die-cut line, making it easy to remove the medicine or nutrients from the medicine storage compartment 21. The cover sheet 31 is located above the medicine storage compartment 21 to isolate the medicine or nutrients from the adhesive layer 32, preventing the adhesive on the adhesive layer 32 from adhering to the medicine or nutrients. The upper surface of the adhesive layer 32 is provided with a time tag corresponding to the medicine storage compartment 21, which is used to mark the time of administration of medicines or nutritional products in the medicine storage compartment 21, so as to facilitate retrieval and verification, and to enable nurses or maintenance personnel to monitor and remind patients.

[0036] To facilitate verification and monitoring by nurses or maintenance staff, the sealing film 30 (specifically, the adhesive layer 32) on the support of each row of medicine storage compartments 21 is the same color, while the sealing film 30 (specifically, the adhesive layer 32) on the support of adjacent rows of medicine storage compartments 21 are different colors. Nurses or maintenance staff can distinguish between the four rows of medicine storage compartments for morning, noon, evening, and midnight by using the color bands, significantly reducing verification time. At the same time, the color bands are located directly above the support and do not interfere with the die-cut lines of the sealing film 30, maintaining the integrity of the seal while achieving intuitive and efficient medication monitoring.

[0037] The adhesive layer 32 extends to form an adhesive portion 321, which is adhered to the side wall 113 of the bottom box protrusion 112, so that the inner tray 20 is fixed to the bottom box 11. When the top cover 12 and the bottom box 11 are opened, the inner tray 20 is prevented from falling out of the bottom box 11 and contaminating the sealing film 30 on the surface of the inner tray 20. When the inner tray 20 needs to be replaced, it can be removed as a whole along the adhesive portion 321. The pre-sealed inner tray 20 can be placed into the bottom box 11 and the adhesive portion 321 can be pressed again to fix it. No tools are required, and quick replacement is achieved.

[0038] In this embodiment, the outer side wall of the placement compartment 111 is provided with a protrusion 1111, and the inner side wall of the placement compartment 111 is provided with a groove 1112 at the corresponding position. When the outer boxes 10 are stacked, the protrusion 1111 of the bottom box 11 of the lower outer box 10 is inserted into the groove 1112 of the bottom box 11 of the upper outer box 10, forming a horizontal locking limit. This ensures that the stacked multi-layer medicine boxes will not slide back and forth or left and right during transportation or handling, especially during the packaging of medicines or nutritional products. The overall structure is stable and reliable. The outer box 10 can be removed by vertical lifting, making the operation convenient.

[0039] The outer wall of the medicine storage compartment 21 is provided with a locking block. When the inner tray 20 is placed in the bottom box 11, the locking block of the medicine storage compartment 21 forms a locking engagement with the groove 1112 on the inner wall of the corresponding placement compartment 111. When the inner tray 20 is pressed down into the bottom box 11, the locking block elastically embeds into the groove 1112, achieving quick locking and preventing the inner tray 20 from shifting or loosening when carried or tilted. When the inner tray 20 needs to be replaced, only a slight upward force is needed to disengage the locking block from the groove 1112, making disassembly convenient. Furthermore, the groove 1112 is used both for stacking the upper and lower outer boxes 10 and for locking the inner tray 20 to the bottom box 11.

[0040] The outer box 10 is made of transparent or semi-transparent PP or PET material, and the inner tray 20 is made of transparent or semi-transparent food-grade plastic material. Nurses or caregivers can see the medicines or nutritional products in the medicine compartment 21 and the information on the information sheet 40 through the outer box 10 and the inner tray 20.

[0041] In this embodiment, the information table 40 is a double-sided information table. The information table 40 is located between the upper cover 12 and the bottom box 11 and is snapped onto the upper cover 12 through the wire groove 1211 of the upper cover 12. It includes a first information surface and a second information surface. The first information surface faces away from the bottom box 11 and faces the upper cover 12, while the second information surface faces the bottom box 11. When the upper cover 12 is fastened onto the bottom box 11, the first information surface can be seen through the upper cover 12. The first information surface includes patient information, medication information, medication precautions, and electronic identification information. Patient information includes the patient's name, gender, age, photo, etc., to facilitate nurses or maintenance personnel in verifying the correct person administering the medication. Medication information includes photos of the medication or nutritional supplement, showing its shape, color, etc., to facilitate inspection personnel in verifying the correct packaging of the medication when the monitoring kit leaves the factory. Medication precautions include the patient's medication conditions or other precautions to remind nurses or maintenance personnel to pay attention to the patient's medication conditions and whether it is necessary to discontinue or continue taking the medication. Electronic identification information is identification information that is identified and registered through electronic devices, such as barcode scanners, to facilitate nurses or maintenance personnel in identifying, observing, and registering information through electronic devices, reducing the workload of nurses or maintenance personnel.

[0042] When the top cover 12 and bottom box 11 are opened and the top cover 12 is unfolded, the second information surface on the top cover 12 and the inner tray 20 fixed on the bottom box 11 can be seen. The second information surface contains drug dosage information, medication schedule and electronic identification information. The drug dosage information is used by nurses or caregivers to check whether the dosage of medicines or nutritional products in the medicine storage compartment 21 is correct when administering medication to patients, so that they can check it again. The medication schedule is divided into several units, each unit corresponding to a medicine storage compartment, so that nurses or caregivers can observe whether the patient's medication is normal. The electronic identification information is used for electronic device identification so that nurses or caregivers can know the time of the patient's last medication, determine whether the medication conditions are met, and register after medication.

[0043] In this embodiment, in order to improve the service life of the outer box 10, the thickness of the outer box 10 is greater than 2mm.

[0044] In this embodiment, the outer box 10 and inner tray 20 are made of food-grade, high-transparency PET material, which meets pharmaceutical packaging standards. They can directly contact the medication without the risk of chemical leaching. The high transparency allows nurses and maintenance personnel to easily observe the remaining medication and its condition, providing monitoring and verification capabilities and improving medication safety. The outer box 10 isolates the inner tray 20 and the medication or nutritional supplements within its storage compartment 21 from the outside environment, reducing the risk of drug exposure and contamination. The reuse of the outer box also reduces costs.

[0045] Each of the medicine storage compartments 21 is arranged from left to right as breakfast, lunch, dinner, and midnight snack, and vertically from top to bottom as Monday to Sunday. Each medicine storage compartment 21 is used to classify different types of medicines taken at different times, enabling precise classification and monitoring of medicines by meal and date.

[0046] By comparing the information sheet on the outer box 10 with the medicine or nutritional supplement in the inner tray 20, the patient's medication can be monitored and reminded. The sealing film 30 has a die-cutting line corresponding to each medicine storage compartment 21, which is used to tear the sealing film 30 on the medicine storage compartment 21 to facilitate the removal of medicine or nutritional supplement in the medicine storage compartment, ensuring the convenience and safety of taking medicine.
