Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0026] A pillbox with a flip-locking structure includes:

[0027] The storage box 1 has a medicine outlet 2 at its upper end. The inside of the medicine outlet 2 is rotatably connected to a rotating cover 3. The outside of the storage box 1 is provided with a limiting component for limiting the rotating cover 3.

[0028] The storage box 1 is rotatably connected to the inside of a rotating tube 14. Multiple partitions 15 arranged in a ring are fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating tube 14. A sealing component is provided on the side wall of the storage box 1 to facilitate the placement of medicine inside the storage box 1.

[0029] For example, the top of the storage box 1 has a medicine outlet 2 as a medicine dispensing outlet. The medicine outlet 2 is rotatably connected to a rotating cover 3 via a rotating shaft. The user can control the medicine dispensing by opening or closing the rotating cover 3. To prevent the rotating cover 3 from being accidentally opened when not in operation, a limiting component is added to the outside of the storage box 1. The rotating cover 3 is stable by a mechanical locking structure. The rotating tube 14 is rotatably connected to the center of the storage box 1. Multiple partitions 15 are fixedly connected to the outside of the tube, dividing the internal space into multiple independent medicine storage compartments. The user can switch between different medicine storage compartments below the medicine outlet 2 by rotating the rotating tube 14 to achieve accurate medicine dispensing. In addition, the side wall of the storage box 1 is designed with a sealing component. The internal dryness is ensured by the threaded connection and sealing structure to prevent the medicine from getting damp and deteriorating, and at the same time, it is convenient for the user to replenish the medicine regularly.

[0030] The limiting assembly includes a limiting plate 4, a rotating shell 5, an annular groove 6, a fixing plate 8, an elastic rope 9, and a rotating rod 10;

[0031] A limiting plate 4 is slidably connected to the outer side of the storage box 1. The limiting plate 4 contacts the rotating cover 3. A rotating shell 5 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the storage box 1. The rotating shell 5 is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 4. An annular groove 6 is opened on the inner wall of the rotating shell 5. Multiple guide blocks 7 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the storage box 1 in a ring. The multiple guide blocks 7 are rotatably connected to the annular groove 6 respectively. A fixing plate 8 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the storage box 1. An elastic rope 9 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixing plate 8. A rotating rod 10 is fixedly connected to one end of the elastic rope 9. The rotating rod 10 is fixedly connected to the rotating shell 5. Two limiting blocks 11 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the storage box 1.

[0032] For example, the limiting plate 4 is locked on the outside of the rotating cover 3, directly restricting the rotation of the rotating cover 3, and the rotation angle of the limiting plate 4 is sufficient to disengage the limiting plate 4 from the rotating cover 3. The user rotates the rotating shell 5 to drive the limiting plate 4 to rotate. Multiple guide blocks 7 are fixed to the side wall of the storage box 1 and embedded in the annular groove 6 to ensure that the rotating shell 5 can only rotate around the axis and avoid deviation. An elastic rope 9 (such as a spring or rubber rope) is fixed on the fixing plate 8, one end of which is connected to the rotating rod 10. The rotating rod 10 is fixedly connected to the rotating shell 5. When the rotating shell 5 rotates, the elastic rope 9 is stretched or contracted to provide a restoring force. Two limiting blocks 11 are fixed to the side wall of the storage box 1, respectively corresponding to the rotating shell 5. The locking and releasing positions of the rotating rod 10 are as follows: When the rotating rod 10 is in its initial position under the tension of the elastic rope 9, it contacts one of the limiting blocks 11, and the limiting plate 4 is in a locked state (locked on the outside of the rotating cover 3); when the rotating shell 5 is rotated to make the rotating rod 10 disengage from the limiting block 11 and contact the other limiting block 11, the limiting plate 4 disengages from the rotating cover 3, releasing the limitation on the rotating cover 3, and the rotating cover 3 can rotate freely. There is a certain angle difference between the two limiting blocks 11 and the vertical rotating rod 10, and the angle between the limiting block 11 away from the elastic rope 9 and the vertical rotating rod 10 is consistent with the angle between the two partitions 15.

[0033] The lower end of the rotating rod 10 is rotatably connected to an adjusting rod 12, and the outer side of the adjusting rod 12 contacts a ratchet 13, which is fixedly connected to the rotating tube 14.

[0034] For example, when the rotating rod 10 rotates, it drives the adjusting rod 12 to rotate. The adjusting rod 12 contacts the ratchet 13, which in turn drives the ratchet 13 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating tube 14 to rotate. When the rotating rod 10 is reset, the adjusting rod 12 contacts the tooth surface of the ratchet 13 and rotates inside the rotating rod 10, which facilitates the reset of the adjusting rod 12 and the rotating rod 10 and does not affect the ratchet 13.

[0035] The sealing assembly includes a sealing cap 16, a connecting rod 17, a sealing ring 18, and a sealing groove 19;

[0036] The storage box 1 is threaded with a sealing cover 16 on the outside. A connecting rod 17 is fixedly connected inside the sealing cover 16. The connecting rod 17 contacts the rotating tube 14. A sealing ring 18 is fixedly connected inside the sealing cover 16. A sealing groove 19 is opened on the side wall of the storage box 1. The sealing groove 19 contacts the sealing ring 18.

[0037] For example, the sealing cap 16 is threaded to the opening of the storage box 1 and is tightly closed by rotation. The connecting rod 17 is fixed to the center inside the sealing cap 16 and its outer side contacts the inside of the rotating tube 14 to prevent the end of the rotating tube 14 from being unstable and to improve structural stability. The sealing ring 18 is made of silicone and is fixed to the inner edge of the sealing cap 16. It has elastic deformation capability. The sealing groove 19 is opened on the side wall of the storage box 1 and matches the shape of the sealing ring 18. When the sealing cap 16 is tightened, the sealing ring 18 is compressed and embedded in the sealing groove 19 to form a seal. At the same time, after the sealing cap 16 is removed by rotation, it is convenient to put medicine directly into the storage box 1.

[0038] Working principle: The user rotates the rotating shell 5 on the outside of the storage box 1. The rotating shell 5 drives the limiting plate 4 fixed to it to rotate. At the same time, the rotating rod 10 rotates with the rotating shell 5, disengaging from the initially contacting limiting block 11. The elastic rope 9 is stretched and continues to rotate until the rotating rod 10 contacts another limiting block 11. At this time, the limiting plate 4 disengages from the rotating cover 3, releasing the limiting on the rotating cover 3.

[0039] When the rotating shell 5 drives the rotating rod 10 to rotate, it also drives the adjusting rod 12 to rotate. The adjusting rod 12 pushes the ratchet 13 to rotate, and the rotating tube 14 fixed to the ratchet 13 rotates accordingly, rotating the storage compartment of the required medicine to below the medicine outlet 2. The rotating cover 3 is turned by hand to make it rotate around the axis to open the medicine outlet 2, and the medicine is taken out from the corresponding storage compartment.

[0040] After taking the medicine, close the rotating cover 3, release the rotating shell 5, and the elastic rope 9 retracts to provide a restoring force, which drives the rotating rod 10 and the limiting plate 4 to reset. When the rotating rod 10 returns to the position of the initially contacting limiting block 11, the limiting plate 4 is locked again on the outside of the rotating cover 3 to prevent the rotating cover 3 from being opened accidentally.

[0041] When medication needs to be replenished, rotate the sealing cap 16 on the side wall of the storage box 1 to separate it from the storage box 1, exposing the internal space. As needed, place different medications into the independent storage compartments formed by the partition 15 on the outside of the rotating tube 14. Tighten the sealing cap 16 back onto the storage box 1. The sealing ring 18 inside the sealing cap 16 is compressed and embedded into the sealing groove 19 on the side wall of the storage box 1, forming a seal to prevent the medication from getting damp and deteriorating. At the same time, the connecting rod 17 contacts the inside of the rotating tube 14 to enhance structural stability.

[0042] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
