Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of medicine boxes, and in particular to a portable medicine box for the blind. Background Technology
[0002] A medicine box is a box that packages medicines. Its advantage is that it saves a lot of time and allows results to be achieved as quickly as possible. Medicine boxes usually provide the correct proportions of various chemicals and are packaged in the best and most economical way that expensive and hard-to-obtain drugs can be. Some of the reagents have been accurately weighed, partially pretreated or fixed on a carrier, thus avoiding excessive but necessary preparation processes and saving a lot of time to achieve results as quickly as possible.
[0003] For example, a smart pillbox for the blind, authorized by announcement number CN210205367U, includes a fixed pillbox and a dispensing plate device. The fixed pillbox has a display screen at the center of its front end. Because it is equipped with an infrared scanner, input keyboard, speaker, information processing unit, and dispensing plate device, when a blind person takes medication, they remove the pillbox with the RFAD magnetic strip from the dispensing hole in the dispensing plate device. However, the rotating lid is rotatably fixed to the fixed pillbox via a rotating hinge and locked by a convex and recessed magnet. In actual use, blind users may need to spend time and effort to accurately locate the opening and closing position of the rotating lid and apply a certain amount of force to overcome the magnet's attraction to open the lid. The operation is not convenient, especially for blind users with weak hand strength or poor dexterity, which may pose significant difficulties. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing the following technical solution: A portable medicine box for the blind includes a medicine storage assembly. A lid opening assembly is detachably mounted on the surface of the medicine storage assembly. The medicine storage assembly includes a base plate, a threaded sleeve, circular partitions, and Braille plates. The threaded sleeve is fixedly mounted at the center of the upper surface of the base plate. Three sets of circular partitions are sequentially glued to the outside of the threaded sleeve. Seven sets of straight partitions are glued between the circular partitions. The Braille plates are all fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the circular partitions. The lid opening assembly includes a sleeve plate, an annular support frame, threaded posts, flip-top plates, and peripheral Braille plates. The edge of the annular support frame is fixedly mounted on the top wall of the sleeve plate. The threaded posts are fixedly mounted in the middle of the annular support frame and threaded into the inside of the threaded sleeve. One end of each of the seven flip-top plates is provided with a hinge rod, which is hinged to the middle of the annular support frame. The peripheral Braille plates are all fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the flip-top plates.
[0005] As an improvement to the above technical solution, a handle is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the other end of the flip cover, a locking block is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the other end of the flip cover, and several sets of locking slots are opened on the upper surface of the sleeve plate, and the locking block is movably inserted and installed inside the locking slot.
[0006] As an improvement to the above technical solution, a connecting rod is fixedly installed at the top of the threaded column, the connecting rod is fixedly installed with the annular support frame and the threaded column, and a triangular handle is fixedly installed at the top of the connecting rod.
[0007] As an improvement to the above technical solution, letter plates are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the outermost circular partition.
[0008] As an improvement to the above technical solution, an anti-slip pad is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the base plate.
[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. This utility model reduces the risk of accidental ingestion by using a dual Braille labeling system with daily-meal graded prompts. It is especially suitable for chronic disease medications that need to be taken with meals, such as antihypertensive drugs and anticoagulants. The independent drug storage chamber can prevent drug mixing and prevent different drugs from interacting, which may reduce efficacy or increase side effects. The push-pull flip cover is simple to operate and is designed for one-handed use without complicated gestures. It is suitable for blind people with less hand strength or dexterity. The threaded locking mechanism prevents children or pets from accidentally opening the medicine box, ensuring the safety of family medication use. Blind people can manage their medication independently, reducing their dependence on caregivers and increasing their social participation. The transparent material allows family members or caregivers to check the remaining amount of medication without opening the box, replenish the medication in time, and avoid missing doses.

[0012] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following provides a more detailed description of the utility model. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the utility model.
[0013] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: A portable medicine box for the blind includes a medicine storage component 1. A lid opening component 2 is detachably mounted on the surface of the medicine storage component 1. The medicine storage component 1 includes a base plate 11, a threaded sleeve 12, circular partitions 13, and Braille plates 14. The threaded sleeve 12 is fixedly installed at the center of the upper surface of the base plate 11. Three sets of circular partitions 13 are sequentially glued to the outside of the threaded sleeve 12. Seven sets of straight strip partitions 131 are glued between the circular partitions 13. The Braille plates 14 are all fixedly installed on the upper surface of the circular partitions 13. The cover opening assembly 2 includes a sleeve plate 21, an annular support frame 22, a threaded post 23, a flip cover plate 24, and a peripheral bleaching plate 25. The edge of the annular support frame 22 is fixedly installed on the top wall of the sleeve plate 21. The threaded post 23 is fixedly installed in the middle of the annular support frame 22. The threaded post 23 is threadedly installed inside the straight thread sleeve 12. One end of each of the seven flip cover plates 24 is provided with a hinge rod 241. The hinge rod 241 is hinged to the middle of the annular support frame 22. The peripheral bleaching plates 25 are all fixedly installed on the upper surface of the flip cover plate 24.
[0014] In this implementation scheme, the medicine storage component 1 consists of three sets of circular partitions 13 and seven sets of straight partitions 131, dividing the medicine box into 21 independent storage chambers, with 3 layers × 7 compartments, corresponding to the medication needs of 7 days a week and 3 meals a day, avoiding medication confusion. The daily Braille board 14 marks the daily information, respectively labeled "breakfast", "lunch" and "dinner". The weekly Braille board 25 on the flip-top 24 shows "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday" and "Sunday" in Braille, allowing blind people to locate the day by touch. The medication dosage, in conjunction with the daily Braille board 14, achieves precise positioning at both the daily and meal levels. The threaded post 23 is rotated and locked inside the straight threaded sleeve 12, ensuring a stable connection between the opening assembly 2 and the medication storage assembly 1. This prevents accidental opening of the medicine box and spillage of the medication. A blind person can open the designated medication chamber by pushing or pulling the hinged rod 241 with one hand, which is ergonomic and suitable for users with limited hand dexterity. The medicine box is made of transparent and healthy PP material, allowing caregivers or blind family members to observe the remaining amount of medication through the transparent shell and replenish the medication in a timely manner.
[0015] Usage Procedure: According to the doctor's orders, the nursing staff places the medication into the corresponding storage compartment according to the day and meal categories. For example, the Monday breakfast medication is placed in the first compartment of the first layer. The staff checks the markings on the day Braille board 14 and the week Braille board 25 to ensure that the medication matches the markings. The staff aligns the threaded post 23 of the opening assembly 2 with the straight threaded sleeve 12, rotates to fix it, and completes the seal. The blind person touches the week Braille board 25 to locate the day, such as "Wednesday", and then touches the day Braille board 14 to locate the meal, such as "dinner". The staff pushes and pulls the corresponding flip-top 24 with their thumb. The hinge rod 241 drives the flip-top 24 to rotate and open, allowing the medication to be taken out. The staff pushes and pulls the flip-top 24 in the opposite direction to reset it. The locking mechanism between the threaded post 23 and the straight threaded sleeve 12 prevents the medication compartment from being opened accidentally.
[0016] Beneficial effects: The dual Braille labeling system reduces the risk of accidental ingestion by providing daily-meal grading prompts, especially suitable for chronic disease medications that need to be taken with meals, such as antihypertensive drugs and anticoagulants. The independent medication storage compartment prevents drug mixing and avoids interactions between different drugs that could reduce efficacy or increase side effects. The push-pull flip cover is simple to operate with one hand, requiring no complicated gestures, making it suitable for blind people with limited hand strength or dexterity. The threaded locking mechanism prevents children or pets from accidentally opening the medicine box, ensuring family medication safety. Blind people can manage their medication independently, reducing dependence on caregivers and increasing social participation. The transparent material allows family members or caregivers to check the remaining medication without opening the box, replenishing it promptly and avoiding missed doses.
[0017] Specifically, a handle 242 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the other end of the flip cover 24, and a locking block 243 is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the other end of the flip cover 24. Several sets of slots 211 are opened on the upper surface of the sleeve plate 21, and the locking block 243 is movably inserted into the inside of the slot 211.
[0018] In this embodiment, the handle 242 is located on the upper surface of the other end of the flip cover 24. Blind people can quickly locate the opening end of the flip cover 24 by touching the raised design of the handle 242 without having to fumble for the edge. The handle 242 provides a larger force-bearing area, making it easier to push and pull, especially suitable for users with weak hand strength or stiff joints. After the locking block 243 is inserted into the slot 211, the flip cover 24 is fixed. The double locking mechanism of the locking block 243 and the slot 211 prevents the flip cover 24 from opening by itself due to vibration during transportation or carrying. When the locking block 243 is inserted into the slot 211, it will produce a slight "click" sound or tactile vibration. Blind people can confirm that the flip cover 24 is completely closed by sound or touch, reducing the risk of incomplete sealing.
[0019] Specifically, a connecting rod 26 is fixedly installed at the top of the threaded column 23. The connecting rod 26 is fixedly installed with the annular support frame 22 and the threaded column 23. A triangular handle 261 is fixedly installed at the top of the connecting rod 26.
[0020] In this embodiment, the connecting rod 26 is a vertical rod from the top of the threaded column 23 to the annular support frame 22. The connecting rod 26 connects the top of the threaded column 23 and the inner wall of the annular support frame 22, forming a stable triangular mechanical structure. This disperses the stress when the medicine box is opened / closed, preventing the threaded column 23 from loosening or breaking due to repeated rotation. When a blind person rotates the triangular handle 261, the connecting rod 26 evenly transmits the torque to the annular support frame 22, preventing local deformation and extending the service life of the medicine box. The rotation radius of the triangular handle 261 is larger than that of a traditional circular handle. According to the lever principle, a blind person can rotate the threaded column 23 with less force, which is especially suitable for users with weak hand strength.
[0021] Specifically, letter plates 132 are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the outermost circular partition plate 13.
[0022] In this embodiment, blind users cannot independently identify drug information, such as name, dosage, and administration time, and need to rely on nurses or family members to assist in filling the medication. The label 132 clearly indicates the purpose of each medication storage compartment through Chinese characters, such as "breakfast medicine" or "antihypertensive medicine," to avoid medication errors. The label 132 can form a "visual + tactile" dual identification system with the Braille board to meet the needs of different roles. The label 132 can use stickers to avoid misreading due to blurred characters.
[0023] Specifically, an anti-slip pad 15 is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the base plate 11.
[0024] In this embodiment, the anti-slip mat 15 increases the coefficient of friction to prevent the medicine box from sliding or tipping over due to touch operation by blind people or accidental collisions. The anti-slip mat 15 is made of elastic silicone material, which can absorb the impact force when the medicine box is placed, reduce the noise generated by collision with hard tabletops, and avoid disturbing blind people or people around.
[0025] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
