Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of pharmaceutical packaging, and in particular to a composite packaging structure for traditional Chinese medicine pills. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine pills, as a classic dosage form of Chinese medicine, refer to spherical or near-spherical solid preparations made by thoroughly mixing fine powders or effective extracts of Chinese medicinal materials with suitable binders and excipients and then processing them through a specific process. Due to the physical form and composition characteristics of this dosage form, it needs to be sealed in a special outer shell during storage and logistics transportation to ensure the stability of drug quality.

[0003] However, current packaging of traditional Chinese medicine pills mainly uses a single material. When the packaging is squeezed or impacted, the physical strength of the single material is limited, and it lacks the support and cushioning capacity of a multi-layer structure. When stacked or transported, the packaging is prone to deformation, dents or even breakage under external pressure, causing the traditional Chinese medicine pills inside to be directly exposed to the air, resulting in oxidation and moisture absorption of the active ingredients, which in turn affects the efficacy. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a composite packaging structure for traditional Chinese medicine pills, which has the advantages of using a double-layer shell to improve the protection of the pills. This solves the problem that current packaging for traditional Chinese medicine pills mainly uses a single material. When the packaging is squeezed or impacted, the physical strength of the single material is limited, and it lacks the support and cushioning capacity of a multi-layer structure. When stacked or transported, the packaging is prone to deformation, dents or even breakage under external pressure, causing the internal pills to be directly exposed to the air, resulting in oxidation and moisture absorption of the active ingredients, which in turn affects the efficacy.

[0005] The composite packaging structure of traditional Chinese medicine pills provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: it includes an upper shell, a lower shell, and a pill body. Both the upper shell and the lower shell are provided with an inner shell. The inner walls of the two inner shells are fixedly connected with a plurality of supporting ribs arranged in a ring array. The upper shell, the lower shell, and the inner shell are respectively fixedly connected with a plurality of rubber columns arranged in a ring array. The outer wall of the pill body is wrapped with tin foil.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, a double-layer protective structure is formed by setting an upper shell and a lower shell, each with a hemispherical inner shell inside, achieving mechanical protection for the pill body and improving the protection effect of the pill body during transportation. Multiple support ribs set on the inner walls of the two inner shells can support the pill body and reduce the shaking of the pill body in the packaging during transportation. At the same time, multiple rubber pillars set between the upper shell, lower shell and inner shell for cushioning further enhance the protection effect of the pill body inside. In the event of a collision, the upper shell and lower shell are impacted first. Due to the setting of rubber pillars, the impact force can be buffered, reducing the impact force on the pill body and maintaining the integrity of the pill body's shape after the collision. The outer wall of the pill body is wrapped with tin foil. The sealing property of tin foil can block moisture and oxygen in the air, slowing down the softening of the pill body due to moisture or the loss of effective ingredients due to oxidation, thus extending the storage time and shelf life of the pill body.

[0007] Preferably, the upper end of the inner shell is provided with a plurality of through holes arranged in a ring array, and the upper end of the outer wall of the inner shell is fixedly connected to a receiving shell, the receiving shell being provided with a desiccant.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple through holes are provided through the upper part of the inner shell, and a receiving shell is provided on the upper part of the outer wall of the inner shell. A desiccant is placed inside the receiving shell. When the humidity inside the packaging changes, the through holes on the inner shell are used to connect the inner shell and the receiving shell, so that the desiccant placed inside the receiving shell acts on the inside of the inner shell to maintain the dryness of the pill body and prevent the pill body from softening and becoming moldy due to moisture.

[0009] Preferably, a first rotating ring is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the upper shell, the first rotating ring having a sealing groove inside, and a threaded ring is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first rotating ring. A second rotating ring is fixedly connected to the upper end of the lower shell, and a sealing ring is fixedly connected to the upper end of the second rotating ring. The second rotating ring has a threaded groove inside.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, a first rotating ring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper shell, a threaded ring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first rotating ring, and a second rotating ring is fixedly connected to the upper end of the lower shell. A threaded groove is opened inside the second rotating ring, which realizes the firm assembly of the upper shell and the lower shell and prevents accidental detachment during transportation. Furthermore, the sealing ring set at the upper end of the second rotating ring and the sealing groove inside the first rotating ring enhance the sealing performance between the upper shell and the lower shell, preventing external moisture and dust from entering the inner shell.

[0011] Preferably, the threaded ring is threadedly connected to the threaded groove, and the sealing ring is slidably disposed inside the sealing groove.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the threaded connection between the threaded ring and the threaded groove allows the upper and lower shells to be tightly fixed by rotation during assembly, preventing separation during transportation or carrying. At the same time, the sealing ring is slidably set in the sealing groove. During assembly, the sealing ring will fit against the inner wall of the sealing groove to form a seal, preventing external moisture and dust from entering the inner shell.

[0013] Preferably, the outer walls of both the first rotating ring and the second rotating ring are provided with a plurality of anti-slip grooves arranged in a ring array.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple anti-slip grooves arranged in a ring array are opened on the outer walls of the first rotating ring and the second rotating ring, which can increase the friction when the hand contacts the first rotating ring and the second rotating ring. When it is necessary to open the packaging, the user can rotate the first rotating ring and the second rotating ring with anti-slip grooves to make the threaded ring and the threaded grooves open smoothly, which facilitates the separation operation between the upper shell and the lower shell.

[0015] Preferably, the outer walls of both inner shells are fixedly connected to the first rotating ring and the second rotating ring. By adopting the above technical solution, the outer walls of the two inner shells are fixedly connected to the first rotating ring and the second rotating ring respectively, so that the upper shell and the lower shell and the corresponding inner shell inside can form a whole. When subjected to external impact, the impact force can be better dispersed, the impact on the pill body can be reduced, and the integrity of the pill body can be further guaranteed during transportation.

[0016] Preferably, all of the multiple support ribs are made of food-grade rubber material, and each of the multiple support ribs has an arc-shaped concave surface on the side away from the inner shell.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple support ribs are made of food-grade rubber material, ensuring safety when in contact with the pill body. The side of the multiple support ribs away from the inner shell is set as an arc-shaped concave surface. The arc-shaped concave surface better fits the shape of the pill body, thereby more stably supporting the pill body, reducing the shaking and collision of the pill body in the packaging, and preventing the pill body from being damaged due to shaking or friction. At the same time, since the rubber material itself is elastic, it can play a buffering role when subjected to slight vibration, further protecting the integrity of the pill.

[0018] Preferably, the pill body is disposed between multiple support ribs arranged in a ring array on the inner walls of the two inner shells, and the tin foil is disposed between the pill body and the multiple support ribs.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the pill body is placed between multiple support ribs on the inner walls of the two inner shells. The support ribs can provide stable support for the pill from multiple directions, preventing the pill from shaking randomly inside the packaging. At the same time, since the tin foil is between the pill body and the support ribs, it can protect the pill body from damage caused by direct friction from the support ribs, thus better maintaining the integrity of the pill body.

[0020] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: This composite packaging structure for traditional Chinese medicine pills features an upper and lower shell, each containing a hemispherical inner shell, forming a double-layered protective structure. Multiple cushioning rubber pillars are positioned between the upper, lower, and inner shells. In the event of a collision, the upper and lower shells directly absorb the impact force, which is then buffered by the rubber pillars and transferred to the inner shell, reducing the impact on the pill itself. Simultaneously, the supporting ribs on the inner wall of the inner shell conform to the pill body with their concave arc surfaces, providing support and ensuring the pill remains centered between the two inner shells during transport. This reduces shaking and collisions, improving the pill's shape integrity after transport. The outer wall of the pill is wrapped with tin... Paper is used to block moisture and oxygen. Together with the outer and inner shells connected by through holes, the desiccant placed inside the outer shell can absorb moisture between the inner shells, delaying the pills from becoming damp, soft, or oxidized and losing their effectiveness, thus extending the storage time. The threaded ring of the first rotating ring at the bottom of the upper shell is threadedly connected to the threaded groove of the second rotating ring at the top of the lower shell. With the sealing ring inserted into the sealing groove, the sealing effect is further enhanced, preventing external impurities from entering. The anti-slip grooves on the outer walls of the first and second rotating rings increase friction and facilitate opening and closing. This packaging structure, through its double-layer protective structure and moisture-proof structure, improves the safety of pill storage and transportation while extending the storage time of the medicine.

[0023] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 5 This application will be described in further detail below.

[0024] Example 1: A composite packaging structure for traditional Chinese medicine pills, referring to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The package includes an upper shell 1, a lower shell 2, and a pill body 6. Both the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 have an inner shell 3 inside. The arrangement of the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2, with a hemispherical inner shell 3 inside each, forms a double-layer protective structure, providing mechanical protection for the pill body 6 and improving its protection during transportation. Multiple support ribs 4 arranged in a circular array are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both inner shells 3. These support ribs 4 provide support for the pill body 6, reducing its shaking within the packaging during transportation. Multiple support ribs arranged in a circular array are fixedly connected between the upper shell 1, the lower shell 2, and the inner shell 3. The rubber pillars 5, arranged between the upper shell 1, lower shell 2, and inner shell 3, further enhance the protection of the internal pill body 6. In the event of a collision, the upper shell 1 and lower shell 2 are impacted first. The rubber pillars 5 can buffer the impact force, reducing the impact force on the pill body 6 and maintaining the integrity of the pill body 6 after the collision. The outer wall of the pill body 6 is wrapped with tin foil 7. The sealing properties of the tin foil 7 can block moisture and oxygen in the air, slowing down the softening of the pill body 6 due to moisture or the loss of effective ingredients due to oxidation, thus extending the storage time and shelf life of the pill body 6.

[0025] Example 2: A composite packaging structure for traditional Chinese medicine pills, referring to... Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5Multiple through holes 8 arranged in a ring array are provided through the upper end of the inner shell 3. A receiving shell 9 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the outer wall of the inner shell 3. A desiccant 10 is placed inside the receiving shell 9. Multiple through holes 8 are provided through the upper end of the inner shell 3. At the same time, a receiving shell 9 is provided at the upper end of the outer wall of the inner shell 3, and a desiccant 10 is placed inside the receiving shell 9. When the humidity inside the packaging changes, the through holes 8 on the inner shell 3 are used to connect the inner shell 3 and the receiving shell 9, so that the desiccant 10 placed inside the receiving shell 9 acts on the inside of the inner shell 3 to maintain the dryness of the pill body 6 and prevent the pill body 6 from softening and moldy due to moisture. A first rotating ring 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the upper shell 1. A sealing groove 12 is opened inside the first rotating ring 11. A threaded ring 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first rotating ring 11. A second rotating ring 14 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the lower shell 2. A sealing ring 15 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the second rotating ring 14. The second rotating ring 14 has a threaded groove 16 inside. The first rotating ring 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper shell 1. The threaded ring 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first rotating ring 11, and the second rotating ring 14 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the lower shell 2. The threaded groove 16 inside the second rotating ring 14 realizes the firm assembly of the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2, preventing accidental detachment during transportation. Furthermore, the sealing ring 15 set at the upper end of the second rotating ring 14 and the sealing groove 12 inside the first rotating ring 11 cooperate to enhance the sealing between the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2, preventing external moisture and dust from entering the inner shell 3.

[0026] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5The threaded ring 13 is threadedly connected to the threaded groove 16, and the sealing ring 15 is slidably disposed in the sealing groove 12. The threaded connection between the threaded ring 13 and the threaded groove 16 allows the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 to be tightly fixed by rotation during assembly, preventing separation during transportation or carrying. At the same time, the sealing ring 15 is slidably disposed inside the sealing groove 12. During assembly, the sealing ring 15 will fit against the inner wall of the sealing groove 12 to form a seal, preventing external moisture and dust from entering the inner shell 3. The outer walls of the first rotating ring 11 and the second rotating ring 14 are provided with multiple anti-slip grooves 17 arranged in a ring array. The multiple anti-slip grooves 17 arranged in a ring array on the outer walls of the first rotating ring 11 and the second rotating ring 14 can increase the slip resistance of the hands. The friction between the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 when they come into contact with the first rotating ring 11 and the second rotating ring 14 is reduced. When the packaging needs to be opened, the user can rotate the first rotating ring 11 and the second rotating ring 14 with anti-slip grooves 17 to make the threaded ring 13 and the threaded groove 16 turn off smoothly, which facilitates the separation operation between the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2. The outer walls of the two inner shells 3 are fixedly connected to the first rotating ring 11 and the second rotating ring 14. By fixing the outer walls of the two inner shells 3 to the first rotating ring 11 and the second rotating ring 14 respectively, the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 and the corresponding inner shells 3 inside can form a whole. When subjected to external impact, the impact force can be better dispersed, the impact on the pill body 6 can be reduced, and the integrity of the pill body 6 can be further guaranteed during transportation.

[0027] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 Multiple support ribs 4 are made of food-grade rubber. Each support rib 4 has a concave, curved surface on the side furthest from the inner shell 3. This food-grade rubber material ensures safety when in contact with the pill body 6. The concave surface on the side furthest from the inner shell 3 better conforms to the shape of the pill body 6, thus providing more stable support and reducing shaking and collisions within the packaging. This prevents damage to the pill body 6 due to shaking or friction. Furthermore, the elasticity of the rubber material allows it to withstand slight vibrations. The foil 7 acts as a buffer during movement, further protecting the integrity of the pills. The pill body 6 is positioned between multiple support ribs 4 arranged in a ring array on the inner walls of the two inner shells 3. The foil 7 is positioned between the pill body 6 and the multiple support ribs 4. The support ribs 4 can provide stable support to the pills from multiple directions, preventing the pills from shaking freely inside the packaging. At the same time, since the foil 7 is positioned between the pill body 6 and the support ribs 4, it can protect the pill body 6 from damage caused by direct friction from the support ribs 4, thus better maintaining the integrity of the pill body 6.

[0028] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: When packaging the pill body 6, first wrap the outer wall of the pill body 6 with tin foil 7, and then place it between two hemispherical inner shells 3. It is supported by multiple support ribs 4 on the inner wall of the inner shell 3. The arc-shaped concave surface of the support ribs 4 fits the shape of the pill body 6, reducing the shaking and collision of the pill body 6 and improving the shape integrity of the pill body 6 after transportation. At the same time, the tin foil 7 isolates the support ribs 4 from the pill body 6 to avoid direct friction causing damage to the pill body 6. Then, rotate the first rotating ring 11 at the bottom of the upper shell 1 and the second rotating ring 14 at the top of the lower shell 2, so that the threaded ring 13 of the first rotating ring 11 and the threaded groove 16 of the second rotating ring 14 mesh and tighten, completing the assembly between the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2. During this process, the sealing ring 15 of the second rotating ring 14 gradually slides into the sealing groove 12 of the first rotating ring 11 and fits tightly, forming a sealing effect between the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2. During storage and transportation, the desiccant 10 adsorbs moisture inside the inner shell 3 through the through holes 8, keeping the pill body 6 dry during storage and extending the storage time. If it is impacted, the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 will bear the impact force first. The impact force will be buffered by multiple rubber pillars 5 between the upper shell 1, the lower shell 2 and the inner shell 3, reducing the impact on the pill body 6. The anti-slip grooves 17 on the outer walls of the first rotating ring 11 and the second rotating ring 14 make it convenient to rotate the first rotating ring 11 and the second rotating ring 14 to open the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 when taking out the pill body 6.
