[0016] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the following description, in conjunction with specific illustrations, further elaborates on this utility model.

[0017] Reference Figure 1-5 The illustrated home medication reminder device for heart failure patients includes: The storage box 100 has a lid that can be opened and closed flexibly on its top. Dividing plate 200, multiple dividing plates 200 are provided and fixed inside the storage box 100, dividing the storage box 100 into multiple cavities 110; A medicine storage box 300 is slidably installed inside the cavity 110. Multiple medicine storage boxes 300 are provided and are independently stored inside the corresponding cavity 110 for easy classification and management of medicines. The medicine storage box 300 is provided with a sliding track so that it can slide smoothly inside the cavity 110. Rotating shaft 400 is rotatably installed inside cavity 110, and every two adjacent rotating shafts 400 are connected by a guide device 500. Push plate 600 is sleeved on the outside of rotating shaft 400 and pushes medicine box 300 out of storage box 100 when rotating; Positioning component 700 is installed between rotating shaft 400 and push plate 600 to ensure that medicine storage box 300 can be accurately pushed out and stay in the predetermined position.

[0018] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: In use, the drive structure is activated, causing the first rotating shaft 400 to rotate. During rotation, the push plate 600 pushes out the corresponding medicine storage box 300. When the next medicine storage box 300 is pushed out, the first rotating shaft 400 will drive the next rotating shaft 400 to rotate through the guide device 500 after one rotation, so that the rotating shaft 400 pushes out the corresponding medicine storage box 300.

[0019] When retracted, the drive mechanism is activated, causing the first rotating shaft 400 to rotate in the opposite direction. This causes the rotating shaft 400 to sequentially rotate multiple push plates 600 to the top, preparing for the next push of the medicine storage box 300. The medicine storage box 300 can also be pushed out when the push plates 600 are reset.

[0020] The rotating push plate 600 moves the medicine storage box 300 out of the storage box 100 for easy access to medication, while preventing errors in medication removal. The medicine storage box 300 is also pushed out at a specified time to ensure medication administration, improving the ease of use of the device, reducing the need for elderly people to operate the machine, and simplifying the usage steps.

[0021] Multiple rotating shafts 400 sequentially push the medicine storage box 300 out, and the multiple medicine storage boxes 300 are driven by the same driving device, which can prevent the movement of the medicine storage boxes 300 from affecting each other.

[0022] The partition plate 200 guides the sliding of the medicine storage box 300 and prevents two adjacent medicine storage boxes 300 from affecting each other when moving, so that the medicine storage box 300 can store medicine normally.

[0023] In some embodiments of this utility model, in order to achieve the transmission of multiple rotating shafts 400, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the guiding device 500 includes: The outer sleeve 510 is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating shaft 400; The connector 520 is fixedly installed at the other end of the rotating shaft 400 and inserted into the inside of the outer sleeve 510 to realize the connection between the rotating shafts 400. The first baffle plate 530 is fixed to the inner surface of the outer sleeve 510; The second push plate 540 is fixed to the outside of the plug 520 and contacts the first blocking plate 530 after the plug 520 rotates, ensuring that the rotating shaft 400 pushes the next rotating shaft 400 to rotate when it rotates to a predetermined angle.

[0024] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When the rotating shaft 400 rotates, it drives the connector 520 to rotate synchronously. After rotating a certain angle, the second push plate 540 will contact the first blocking plate 530 on the next rotating shaft 400, and drive the next rotating shaft 400 to rotate as the rotating shaft 400 rotates. The same steps are followed when the rotating shaft 400 rotates in the opposite direction. The outer sleeve 510 and the plug 520 are designed to overlap the first blocking plate 530 and the second pushing plate 540, so that the outer sleeve 510 and the plug 520 can rotate synchronously after rotating at a certain angle.

[0025] In some embodiments of this utility model, in order to enable the rotating shaft 400 to drive the push plate 600 to push the medicine storage box 300 to slide, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the positioning component 700 includes: The positioning groove 710 is formed on the outer side of the rotating shaft 400; The mounting groove 720 is formed on the push plate 600; The limiting head 730 is slidably installed inside the mounting groove 720 and is adapted to the positioning groove 710 to ensure that the push plate 600 stops rotating when it rotates to the predetermined position. Compression spring 740, with its two ends installed between the limiting head 730 and the inner wall of the mounting groove 720, is used to provide elastic force to ensure that the limiting head 730 can fit tightly against the positioning groove 710.

[0026] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When the push plate 600 rotates to contact the storage box 100, it will be restricted from rotating. The inner wall of the positioning groove 710 will press the limiting head 730 to slide, so that the limiting head 730 will disengage from the positioning groove 710 and fully enter the interior of the mounting groove 720, and press the compression spring 740, so that the rotating shaft 400 and the push plate 600 can rotate relative to each other.

[0027] When the rotating shaft 400 rotates in the reverse direction, when the limiting head 730 corresponds to the positioning groove 710, the compression spring 740 will push the limiting head 730 into the interior of the positioning groove 710 and drive the push plate 600 to reset.

[0028] The synchronous rotation of the push plate 600 and the rotating shaft 400 is achieved through the cooperation of the positioning groove 710 and the limiting head 730.

[0029] The compression spring 740 provides space for the sliding of the limiting head 730, allowing the limiting head 730 to disengage from the positioning groove 710 under external pressure, so that the push plate 600 and the rotating shaft 400 can rotate relative to each other.

[0030] In some embodiments of this utility model, in order to ensure the dryness of the medicine storage box 300, refer to Figure 2 As shown, a drying box 310 for storing desiccant is fixedly installed on the rear side of the medicine storage box 300 to absorb moisture. A tension spring 320 is fixedly installed between the drying box 310 and the inner wall of the storage box 100 to ensure that the medicine storage box 300 is stably reset.

[0031] The drying box 310 is used to place desiccant to ensure the dryness inside the medicine storage box 300 and prevent the medicine from becoming damp due to excessive moisture inside the medicine storage box 300.

[0032] The tension spring 320 allows the medicine storage box 300 to slide back to its original position after the thrust on it disappears.

[0033] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 5 As shown, a flip cover 120 is rotatably mounted on the top of the storage box 100, and the flip cover 120 corresponds to a plurality of medicine storage boxes 300.

[0034] The flip-top 120 allows multiple medicine storage boxes 300 to be opened simultaneously for placing medicines or replacing desiccants.

[0035] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 2 As shown, a drive motor 130 for driving the rotation of the rotating shaft 400 is fixedly installed inside the storage box 100.

[0036] The drive motor 130 enables the rotating shaft 400 to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise upon startup.

[0037] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 5 As shown, the top of the storage box 100 is fixedly equipped with control buttons 140, a display screen 150 and a loudspeaker 160, which are used to control operation and display information.

[0038] The display screen 150 is used to display information such as drug information, operation prompts, and time, thereby improving the user's operating experience; the loudspeaker 160 is used to broadcast voice prompts, such as drug name and medication pick-up time, to facilitate users in obtaining information.

[0039] Press and hold control button 140 to start drive motor 130 and control rotating shaft 400 to rotate in reverse; press control button 140 briefly to start drive motor 130 and control rotating shaft 400 to rotate normally.

[0040] The working method of this utility model: In use, press the control button 140 to start the drive motor 130, which drives the first rotating shaft 400 to rotate. During rotation, the drive motor 130 pushes out the corresponding medicine storage box 300. When the medicine storage box 300 is pushed out, the drive motor 130 turns off. After the medicine is taken out, press the control button 140 again to make the drive motor 130 drive the push plate 600 to continue rotating and rotate it downwards. At the same time, the first blocking plate 530 contacts the next second push plate 540. When the next medicine box 300 is pushed out, press the control button 140 again to make the drive motor 130 drive the rotating shaft 400 to rotate. Through the cooperation of the first blocking plate 530 and the next second push plate 540, the next rotating shaft 400 is driven to rotate, and the push plate 600 pushes out the medicine box 300. At the same time, the previous push plate 600 is restricted by the inner wall of the storage box 100. The inner wall of the positioning groove 710 will squeeze the limiting head 730 to slide, so that the limiting head 730 is disengaged from the positioning groove 710 and fully enters the interior of the mounting groove 720, and squeezes the compression spring 740, so that the rotating shaft 400 and the push plate 600 can rotate relative to each other.
