Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically a medication dispensing box for elderly care. Background Technology

[0002] As elderly people experience a decline in physical health and are burdened with multiple illnesses, they often require various medications for daily care. However, the following problems may arise during medication use: elderly people are prone to forgetfulness, leading to duplicate medications; and some may forget the dosage over time, resulting in medication errors. To reduce these issues, a medication dispensing kit for elderly care is proposed.

[0003] For example, the medication dispensing box for elderly care disclosed in the authorization announcement number CN221770871U includes an installation cylinder and a medication storage box. The number of medication storage boxes is seven. An assembly structure is provided between the medication storage box and the installation cylinder. A first partition and a second partition are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the medication storage box, and the first partition and the second partition divide the interior of the medication storage box into three chambers respectively.

[0004] Although it features three compartments inside the medicine storage box, allowing for separate storage of pills taken in the morning, noon, and evening, and the storage of a week's worth of pills in seven separate boxes, with each box labeled with the corresponding day of the week, patients can check the corresponding compartment for pills if they forget whether they took their medication, thus avoiding duplicate medication. The labels also indicate the dosage, preventing elderly patients from forgetting the number of pills they took over time.

[0005] However, this does not solve the problem that existing medicine boxes are not conducive to the classification and storage of medicines, nor to reminding users to take medicines at the corresponding time periods, thus affecting the convenience of use and the safety of medicine storage. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a medication dispensing box for elderly care, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, which are that medication dispensing boxes are not convenient for classifying and storing drugs, are not conducive to reminding users to take drugs at the corresponding time periods, and affect the convenience of use and the safety of drug storage.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A medication dispensing box for elderly care includes a rotating disk and a support frame. The top of the rotating disk has seven equally spaced sets of support frames. Each support frame has a symmetrically arranged frame on its inner wall. Each frame has a placement plate on its side wall. Each support frame has a triangular prism on its top. Each triangular prism has a connecting shaft on both sides, extending into the frame and movably connected to it. Each triangular prism has three equally spaced placement slots on its side wall. Each placement slot has a lid, and each lid has a movable shaft on its side wall, movably connecting to the placement slot via the movable shaft. The lid and placement slot are interference-fitted. Each triangular prism side wall on one side of a placement slot has a label box. Each connecting shaft has a ratchet mounted on its surface.

[0008] Optionally, a pin is fixedly installed inside the frame on one side of the ratchet, a pawl is movably installed on the surface of the pin, and a limit post is provided on the inner wall of the placement plate.

[0009] Optionally, the surface of each limiting post is provided with a spring, and the spring is connected to the pawl, and a drive seat is provided below the rotating disk.

[0010] Optionally, a protective cover is provided above the drive seat, and multiple sets of buckles are provided at the bottom of the protective cover.

[0011] Optionally, the top of the drive seat is provided with multiple sets of slots, and the buckle is slidably connected to the slots.

[0012] Optionally, a servo motor is installed inside the drive base, and a worm gear is installed at the output end of the servo motor.

[0013] Optionally, a drive shaft is movably mounted inside the drive seat on one side of the worm gear, and the drive shaft extends to the outside of the drive seat and is connected to the rotating disk.

[0014] Optionally, a worm gear is fitted onto the surface of the drive shaft, and the worm and the worm gear mesh with each other.

[0015] Optionally, a battery is installed inside the drive mount on one side of the servo motor, and the battery is fixedly connected to the drive mount, and the battery provides power support for the servo motor.

[0016] Optionally, a PLC controller is provided at the top of the protective cover, and the output terminal of the PLC controller is electrically connected to the servo motor.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the medicine box not only realizes the classification and storage of medicines, making it convenient for users to take medicines at the corresponding time periods, but also improves the convenience of use and the safety of medicine storage.

[0018] Different medications are placed sequentially inside three sets of storage slots, with corresponding morning, noon, and evening labels placed in a label box to remind the user. There are seven sets of triangular prisms, corresponding to the seven days of the week. When medication is due, a PLC controller operates a servo motor. The PLC controller is programmed to rotate the servo motor several times every 24 hours. The servo motor drives a worm gear, which in turn drives a drive shaft via a worm wheel. The drive shaft then rotates a rotating disk, which in turn rotates a set of support frames and triangular prisms to the medication dispensing port. The lid is then rotated, opening the box and allowing the medication to be removed from the storage slot. After taking the medication, the triangular prisms are pushed downwards. The column, driven by a triangular prism, rotates a connecting shaft, which in turn drives a ratchet. The ratchet then drives a pawl to rotate around a pin, causing a spring to contract and deform. A limiting pin provides support for the spring. When the spring rotates to the next tooth on the ratchet surface, the spring's elasticity causes the pawl to reset around the pin, fixing the ratchet in place. This rotates the slot labeled with the noon tag to the user's position, preventing forgetting to take medication. After each dose, simply push the triangular prism downwards to rotate the next medication to the user's position. This system allows for categorized storage of medications, conveniently reminding users to take their medication at the appropriate times, and improving ease of use.

[0019] A protective cover provides light protection for the triangular prism and the medicine inside the placement slot. The protective cover is detachable. When it is necessary to quickly fill the placement slot with medicine, the protective cover is moved upward, and the cover will pull the buckle out from the slot. The protective cover can then be removed from the surface of the drive base. Multiple people can then fill the placement slot with medicine at the same time. After filling, the buckle is reinserted into the slot, and the protective cover can be reinstalled on the top of the drive base. This improves the safety of medicine storage and the convenience of medicine placement. Attached Figure Description

Each surface of the limit post 24 is provided with a spring 22, and the spring 22 is connected to the pawl 20. A drive seat 1 is provided below the rotating disk 4.

[0030] Different medications are placed sequentially inside the three sets of placement slots 25, and corresponding morning, noon, and evening labels are placed in the label box 17 to remind the user. There are seven sets of triangular prisms 15, corresponding to the seven days of the week. When medication is due, the PLC controller 3 controls the servo motor 6. The program in the PLC controller 3 is set to rotate the servo motor 6 several times every 24 hours. The servo motor 6 drives the worm gear 7 to rotate. Under the meshing of the worm gear 7 and the worm wheel 9, the worm gear 7 drives the drive shaft 8 to rotate through the worm wheel 9. The drive shaft 8 drives the rotating disk 4 to rotate, which in turn drives a set of support frames 5 and triangular prisms 15 to rotate to the medication dispensing port. Then, the box cover 19 is rotated, and the box cover 19 rotates around the movable shaft 18 to open the box cover 19, allowing the medication to be taken from the placement slot 25 and consumed. After taking the medication, push it downwards. The triangular prism 15 drives the connecting shaft 16 to rotate, which in turn drives the ratchet 23 to rotate. The ratchet 23 then drives the pawl 20 to rotate around the pin 21, causing the spring 22 to contract and deform. The limiting post 24 provides limiting support for the spring 22. When the spring 22 rotates to the next tooth on the surface of the ratchet 23, the spring 22, in its elastic cooperation, drives the pawl 20 to reset around the pin 21 and fix the ratchet 23. This rotates the placement slot 25, marked with the noon label, to the user's position, preventing the user from forgetting to take the medication. After each dose, the triangular prism 15 can be pushed down to rotate the next dose to the user's position. This system allows for the categorized storage of medications, making it easier to remind users to take their medication at the corresponding time and improving convenience.

[0031] A protective cover 2 is provided on the top of the drive base 1. Multiple sets of buckles 12 are provided at the bottom of the protective cover 2, and multiple sets of slots 11 are provided at the top of the drive base 1. The buckles 12 and the slots 11 are slidably connected.

[0033] A drive shaft 8 is movably mounted inside the drive seat 1 on one side of the worm gear 7, and the drive shaft 8 extends to the outside of the drive seat 1 and is connected to the rotating disk 4.

[0034] The surface of the drive shaft 8 is fitted with a worm gear 9, and the worm 7 and the worm gear 9 mesh with each other.

[0035] A battery 10 is installed inside the drive base 1 on one side of the servo motor 6, and the battery 10 is fixedly connected to the drive base 1, and the battery 10 provides power support for the servo motor 6.

[0036] A PLC controller 3 is installed at the top of the protective cover 2, and the output terminal of the PLC controller 3 is electrically connected to the servo motor 6.

[0037] The protective cover 2 provides light protection for the triangular prism 15 and the medicine inside the placement slot 25. The protective cover 2 is detachable. When it is necessary to quickly fill the medicine into the placement slot 25, the protective cover 2 is moved upward, and the protective cover 2 will drive the buckle 12 to be pulled out from the slot 11. The protective cover 2 is then removed from the surface of the drive base 1. After that, multiple people can fill the medicine into the placement slot 25 at the same time. After filling the medicine, the buckle 12 is reinserted into the slot 11, and the protective cover 2 can be reinstalled on the top of the drive base 1, which improves the safety of medicine storage and the convenience of medicine placement.

[0038] The working principle of the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: Different medications are placed sequentially inside three sets of placement slots 25, and corresponding morning, noon, and evening labels are placed in label boxes 17 to remind the user. There are seven sets of triangular prisms 15, corresponding to the seven days of the week. When medication is needed, the PLC controller 3 controls the servo motor 6. The program set in the PLC controller 3 is to control the servo motor 6 to rotate several times every twenty-four hours. The servo motor 6 drives the worm gear 7 to rotate. Under the mutual meshing of the worm gear 7 and the worm wheel 9, the worm... The lever 7 drives the drive shaft 8 to rotate via the worm gear 9.

Then, the box cover 19 is rotated, and the box cover 19 rotates around the movable shaft 18 to open the box cover 19, allowing the medicine to be taken out from the placement slot 25 for consumption. After consumption, the triangular prism 15 is pushed down, causing the triangular prism 15 to drive the connecting shaft 16 to rotate. The connecting shaft 16 drives the ratchet 23 to rotate, and the ratchet 23 drives the pawl 20 to rotate around the pin 21. The pawl 20 then... The spring 22 contracts and deforms, and the limiting post 24 provides limiting support for the spring 22. When the spring 22 rotates to the next tooth on the surface of the ratchet 23, under the elastic cooperation of the spring 22, the pawl 20 is driven to reset around the pin 21 and fix the ratchet 23, thereby rotating the placement slot 25 marked with the noon label to the user's position to prevent the user from forgetting to take the medicine. After each dose of medicine, the triangular prism 15 can be turned downwards to rotate the next dose of medicine to the user's position. The protective cover 2 protects the triangular prism 15. 5. The medication inside the placement slot 25 is protected from light. The protective cover 2 is detachable. When it is necessary to quickly fill the medication into the placement slot 25, move the protective cover 2 upwards. The protective cover 2 will then pull the buckle 12 out from the slot 11. Remove the protective cover 2 from the surface of the drive base 1. Then, multiple people can fill the medication into the placement slot 25 at the same time. After filling the medication, insert the buckle 12 back into the slot 11. The protective cover 2 can then be reinstalled on the top of the drive base 1. The above is the complete usage of the medication dispensing box for elderly care.
