Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medical devices, and more specifically, to a medicine bottle storage box. Background Technology

[0002] To better manage drug expiration dates and prevent expired medications from accumulating, hospitals typically use a left-in, right-out principle for medicine boxes. Medications nearing their expiration date are placed on the right side of the box, and medications on the right side are taken first, with medications on the left side filling the remaining space on the right. This creates a cyclical "left-in, right-out" system. This ensures that medications placed in the box earlier (near expiration dates) are used first, and those placed later (far from expiration dates) are used later, allowing medications to be consumed sequentially according to their expiration dates and reducing the likelihood of medications becoming expired due to prolonged accumulation in the box.

[0003] Currently, during emergency rescues, after medical personnel remove the medicine bottle from the right side, they need to replace it with a new one afterward. However, this requires manually rearranging the medicine bottles one by one, which is not very convenient.

[0004] Therefore, existing medicine bottle storage boxes need to be improved to overcome the above-mentioned defects. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this application is to provide a medicine bottle storage box that can automatically sort medicine bottles when they are taken out from the right side and new medicine bottles are added from the left side, without requiring manual operation by hospital staff, making it convenient to use.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, in a first aspect, this application provides a medicine bottle storage box, including a box body and a box lid that cooperates with the box body. The box body is provided with two sets of guide and limiting frame assemblies and a bottle pushing assembly. The bottle pushing assembly is located between the two sets of guide and limiting frame assemblies. Each set of guide and limiting frame assemblies includes a U-shaped guide frame, an inlet and an outlet opened at both ends of the upper side of the guide frame. The guide frame has a gap for the medicine bottle to slide. The inlet and the outlet are both connected to the gap. The bottle pushing assembly includes a push rod that extends and retracts along the length direction of the guide frame and a pushing member fixedly disposed at one end of the push rod. The other end of the push rod is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the box body. An elastic member is disposed between the box body and the pushing member.

[0007] Optionally, the pushing element is an arc-shaped plate.

[0008] Optionally, the pushing element is a semi-circular arc plate.

[0009] Optionally, the box body and the box cover are connected by one of the following methods: plug-in fit, sliding fit, or rotational fit.

[0010] Optionally, the elastic element is sleeved on the push rod.

[0011] Optionally, the elastic element is a spring.

[0012] Optionally, the box body is provided with a damping groove on the opposite inner wall of the inner wall of the bottle pusher assembly.

[0013] Optionally, the damping groove is a circular arc groove, and the central angle of the circular arc groove is less than 180°.

[0014] Optionally, at least one of the box body and the box lid is made of transparent plastic.

[0015] Optionally, both the box body and the box lid are made of light-shielding material.

[0016] The medicine bottle storage box provided by this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art: it replaces the current compartment-type inner liner in the medicine box with a U-shaped guide frame assembly and a bottle pushing assembly. As a result, when medical staff take out the medicine bottle to be used from the right side of the medicine box, the bottle pushing assembly can automatically sort the medicine bottles when replenishing them, that is, it ensures that the medicines that are put into the medicine box first (near expiration date) are used first, and the medicines that are put in later (longer expiration date) are used later.

[0023] In addition, the term "multiple" should mean two or more.

[0024] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] Example 1: like Figures 1-2As shown, a medicine bottle storage box includes a box body 1 and a box cover 2 that cooperates with the box body 1. The box body 1 is provided with two sets of guide and limiting frame assemblies and a bottle pushing assembly. The bottle pushing assembly is located between the two sets of guide and limiting frame assemblies. Each set of guide and limiting frame assemblies includes a U-shaped guide frame 3, an inlet 4 and an outlet 5 opened at both ends of the upper side of the guide frame 3. The guide frame 3 has a gap for the medicine bottle to slide. The inlet 4 and the outlet 5 are both connected to the gap. The bottle pushing assembly includes a push rod 6 that extends and retracts along the length direction of the guide frame 3 and a pushing member 8 fixedly installed at one end of the push rod 6. The other end of the push rod 6 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the box body 1. An elastic member 7 is provided between the box body 1 and the pushing member 8. It should be noted that according to the normal operating habits of medical staff, the inlet 4 is located on the left side of the box body 1, and the outlet 5 is located on the right side of the box body 1, realizing left-in and right-out.

[0026] During operation, medical staff open the box lid 2 and take out the required medicine bottle from the outlet 5 on the right side of the box body 1. New medicine bottles are replenished from the inlet 4 on the left side. When placing a new medicine bottle, it is necessary to manually overcome the elastic force of the elastic element 7 to push the bottle pusher assembly. After placing the new medicine bottle, release it. Under the action of the elastic force of the elastic element 7, the push rod 6, which is a telescopic rod, will extend. The pusher 8 pushes the medicine bottles in sequence to sort them. The subsequent medicine bottles fill the positions of the medicine bottles taken out in sequence for easy use next time. It should be noted that since the medicine bottles are usually glass bottles or ampoules, the elastic force of the spring should not be too large. Moreover, the pusher 8 is preferably an arc plate, and preferably a semi-circular arc plate. This increases the contact area and reduces the contact pressure when it comes into contact with the medicine bottle, avoiding damage to the medicine bottle. Using a spring with a smaller elastic force avoids excessive impact between medicine bottles during sorting, which may cause breakage.

[0027] In this embodiment, the box body 1 and the box cover 2 are connected by one of the following methods: plug-in connection, sliding connection, and rotational connection, with rotational connection being preferred.

[0028] For ease of installation, the elastic element 7 is sleeved on the push rod 6. The elastic element 7 is a spring, which can be made of plastic spring, which has good toughness. This makes the push of the medicine bottle relatively slow, avoiding rapid deformation that would cause a large impact force between the medicine bottles.

[0029] To prevent the medicine bottle from sliding out of the outlet 5 when the lid 2 is opened, the inner wall of the box body 1, opposite to the inner wall of the bottle pusher assembly, is provided with a damping groove. The damping groove is an arc groove with a central angle of less than 180°. Thus, when taking out the medicine bottle, the medicine bottles are taken out one by one from the outlet 5. When taking out the medicine bottle, it is necessary to press back the adjacent medicine bottles to ensure sufficient distance so that the rightmost medicine bottle can disengage from the damping groove.

[0030] Since medical staff need to check the expiration date of the medicines in the box from time to time during use or maintenance, at least one of the box body 1 and the box lid 2 is made of transparent plastic, which is usually used.

[0031] For medicine bottles that need to be stored away from light, both the box body 1 and the box lid 2 are made of light-proof material, usually dark-colored opaque plastic, especially black plastic.

[0032] Example 2: The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that Embodiment 1 requires opening the lid to fill and remove the medicine, while in this embodiment, a medicine dispensing port is opened on the lid 2 and a bottle outlet is opened on the right side wall of the box body 1. A movable sealing plate is set at the bottle outlet, so when taking out the medicine bottle, the sealing plate is opened and the medicine bottle pops out automatically, and the hospital staff only need to pick it up. When dispensing, the medicine is dispensed by pressing it through the medicine dispensing port, which is more convenient.

[0033] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
