Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of packaging containers, and more particularly to an automatic identification cap for recording medicine intake. [Background technology]

[0002] It is common for medications to be taken multiple times a day. However, because the cap structures of existing medication bottles are mostly fixed and simple, users often forget whether or not they have taken the medication or how many times they have taken it in their busy daily lives. Furthermore, elderly people often suffer from chronic diseases and need to take medication for a long period of time, but their memory is more impaired, and they often forget whether or not they have taken their medication. In such cases, insufficient or duplicate medication administration can affect the therapeutic effect of the medication.

[0003] However, existing medicine bottles and caps lack the functionality to quickly and automatically identify drug usage records, which makes them less convenient to use. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The present invention provides an automatic medication record identification cap, which solves the above-mentioned problems in the prior art. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] An embodiment of the present invention provides an automatic identification cap for recording medication intake. The cap includes a cap main body shell, a partition plate, and an identification component. The partition plate is disposed in the center of the cap main body shell, and a transparent viewing window is disposed on the top surface of the cap main body shell. The identification component is disposed inside the cap main body shell. The identification component includes a pressing base, an identification wheel, a bite transmission component, and a support component. The pressing base is disposed below the partition plate, the identification wheel is disposed above the partition plate, and a support component is disposed between the pressing base and the identification wheel, and the identification wheel is actively engaged with the bite transmission component.

[0006] In the above technical solution, an identification component is provided on the cap body outer shell. A fixed-area viewing window is provided on the top lid of the cap body outer shell, allowing the user to directly view the identification area on the identification turntable through the viewing window. When the cap body outer shell is screwed onto the mouth of the vial body, the side wall of the vial body moves upward along the cap body outer shell, pressing the pressing base toward the top lid of the cap body outer shell. The transmission action of the support component lifts the identification turntable upward, and under the guiding action of the interlocking transmission component, the identification turntable automatically rotates by a set angle, changing the identification area visible to the user through the viewing window, thereby achieving the purpose of automatic identification. The overall structure is simple, the transmission is rational, and the manufacturing cost is low, making it suitable for mass production and use.

[0007] Preferably, the support component includes a first support spring and a plurality of sets of transmission rods, each set of the transmission rods having a bottom end passing through the partition plate and disposed on the pressing base, and a top end of each set of the transmission rods removably abutting against the bottom of the identification turntable, and a first support spring is provided between the pressing base and the underside of the partition plate.

[0008] In the above technical solution, the first support spring automatically presses downward to expand when the cap body shell is removed from the vial body, moving the pressing base downward to restore its original position so that it can accommodate the next installation of the cap body shell. Because the transmission rod detachably abuts the bottom of the identification turntable, the transmission rod does not interfere with the rotation of the identification turntable after lifting it. Multiple sets of transmission rods are uniformly arranged through the partition plate to ensure that the force lifting the identification turntable is applied uniformly.

[0009] Preferably, a support rod is provided at the center of the upper surface of the partition plate, and a fixed rotation shaft at the center of the identification turntable is fitted onto the support rod. The identification turntable is fitted onto the outer periphery of the fixed rotation shaft via a plurality of sets of connecting rods arranged at intervals. The identification turntable is provided with a plurality of sets of identification areas, and the number of the identification areas is set to be the same as or a multiple of the number of the connecting rods.

[0010] In the above technical solution, the angle setting between adjacent connecting rods affects the rotation angle of the identification area, and further determines the display of the identification area.

[0011] Preferably, the bite transmission component includes an upper bite member and a lower bite member, a first barbed claw is provided at a lower portion of the upper bite member, and a second barbed claw is provided at an upper portion of the lower bite member to engage with the first barbed claw, and a guide gap is provided between engagement ends of the first barbed claw and the second barbed claw, and each pair of the connecting rods is actively engaged with the guide gap.

[0012] Preferably, the top of the support rod is disposed on the top surface of the cap body shell after passing through the lower jaw member, the fixed rotation shaft, and the upper jaw member. A second support spring is provided between the inner top surface of the upper jaw member and the inner bottom surface of the lower jaw member.

[0013] In the above technical solution, when the cap body shell is attached, the pressing base moves upward due to the pressing force from the vial body, driving the transmission rod to lift the identification turntable upward. The fixed rotating shaft at the center of the identification turntable moves upward synchronously, pressing the second support spring upward. Because the connecting rod is guided to move along the guide gap, when the identification turntable drives the connecting rod to move upward, it spirals up due to the constraints of the guide gap. After reaching the top of the guide gap, it spirals down along the guide gap with the assistance of the downward pressing force from the second support spring, moving to the lowest point of the next engaging claw of the guide gap. This realizes the rotation of the identification turntable.

[0014] Preferably, the slope gradients on both sides of each of the first and second claws are different, the slope gradient on the left side of the first claw is smaller than the slope gradient on the right side of the claw, and the slope gradient on the right side of the second claw is smaller than the slope gradient on the left side of the claw.

[0015] In the above technical solution, the inclination angles of the oblique sides of the first claw and the second claw are set symmetrically in the up-down direction, which makes it easier to guide the connecting rod to move along the guide gap and effectively prevents the connecting rod from getting stuck.

[0016] Preferably, the inner wall of the outer shell of the cap body is provided with a spiral groove for screwing onto the vial body.

[0017] In the above technical solution, the cap is screwed onto the vial body through the spiral groove, which makes the operation easy. [Effects of the Invention]

[0018] In summary, the present invention provides an automatic medication recording and identification cap, and its beneficial effects are as follows:

[0019] 1. The top cover of the outer shell of the cap body is provided with a viewing window, and when the cap is attached to the vial body, the pressing base automatically presses upward, transmitting power to the identification turntable via the supporting component, and guiding the identification turntable to rotate by a set angle via the engaging component, thereby automatically changing the identification area visible through the viewing window and achieving the purpose of automatically identifying the medication record.

[0020] 2. It effectively replaces the manual medication recording method used in the prior art, and has a simple and reasonable overall structure, low manufacturing costs, and is suitable for popularization and use. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0023] In order to more clearly explain the embodiments of the present invention or the technical solutions in the prior art, the present invention will be briefly introduced below in combination with drawings and embodiments or descriptions of the prior art. Obviously, the following description of the structure of the drawings is only a partial embodiment of the present invention, and those skilled in the art can obtain other drawings based on these drawings without paying any creative effort. It should be noted here that the description of these embodiment modes is intended to facilitate understanding of the present invention, and does not limit the present invention.

[0024] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to FIGS. [Example]

[0025] 1 and 2, this embodiment provides an automatic identification cap for recording medication intake, which includes a cap main body shell 101, a partition plate 102, and an identification component 103. A transparent viewing window 104 is provided on the top surface of the cap main body shell 101, and the identification component 103 is disposed inside the cap main body shell 101.

[0026] In the above embodiment, the cap body shell 101 has a viewing window 104 on the top surface thereof, allowing the user to directly check the identification area 114 on the identification turntable 106 through the viewing window 104. The cap body shell 101 can be formed by an integrally molded cap body, or it can be manufactured by assembling two separate cap bodies, one separated into upper and lower parts or one separated into left and right parts.

[0027] Here, the identification component 103 includes a pressing base 105, an identification turntable 106, an occlusion transmission component 107, and a support component 108. The pressing base 105 is disposed on the lower top surface of the partition plate 102, the identification turntable 106 is disposed on the upper top surface of the partition plate 102, the support component 108 is provided between the pressing base 105 and the identification turntable 106, and the identification turntable 106 is actively engaged with the occlusion transmission component 107.

[0028] In the above embodiment, when the cap body shell 101 is screwed onto the mouth of the vial body, the side wall of the vial body moves upward along the inner wall of the cap body shell 101, pressing the pressing base 105 toward the top surface of the cap body shell 101. The transmitting action of the support component 108 lifts the identification turntable 106 upward, and the guiding action of the engaging transmission component 107 causes the identification turntable 106 to automatically rotate by a set angle, changing the identification area 114 that the user can see through the viewing window 104. This achieves the purpose of automatic identification. [Example]

[0029] 3 and 4, the support component 108 includes a first support spring 109 and a plurality of sets of transmission rods 110. The bottom of each set of transmission rods 110 penetrates the top surface of the partition plate 102 and is disposed on the pressing base 105, and the top of each set of transmission rods 110 detachably abuts on the bottom of the identification turntable 106. A first support spring 109 is disposed between the pressing base 105 and the underside of the top surface of the partition plate 102.

[0030] In the above embodiment, the first support spring 109 automatically extends downward when a cap is removed from a vial body, moving the pressing base 105 downward and restoring it to its original position so that the next cap can be attached. Because the transmission rod 110 detachably abuts the bottom of the identification turntable 106, the transmission rod 110 does not interfere with the rotation of the identification turntable 106 after lifting it. Multiple sets of transmission rods 110 are uniformly arranged through the top surface of the partition plate 102 to ensure that the force lifting the identification turntable 106 is applied uniformly.

[0031] Specifically, a support rod 111 is provided in the center of the top surface of the partition plate 102. As shown in Figure 3, a fixed rotation axis 112 in the center of the identification turntable 106 is fitted onto the support rod 111, and the identification turntable 106 is fitted onto the outer periphery of the fixed rotation axis 112 via a plurality of pairs of connecting rods 113 arranged at intervals. The identification turntable 106 is provided with a plurality of pairs of identification areas 114, and the number of the identification areas 114 is set to be the same as or a multiple of the number of the connecting rods 113. The angle between adjacent connecting rods 113 affects the rotation angle of the identification areas 114 and further determines the display of the identification areas 114. [Example]

[0032] 2 and 4, in combination with the above embodiment, the bite transmission component 107 includes an upper bite member 115 and a lower bite member 116. A first claw 117 is provided at the bottom of the upper bite member 115, and a second claw 118 is provided at the top of the lower bite member 116, engaging with the first claw 117. A guide gap 119 is provided between the engaging ends of the first claw 117 and the second claw 118, and each set of connecting rods 113 is actively engaged with the guide gap 119. The first claw 117 and the second claw 118 have different inclination gradients on both sides, with the left side of the first claw being smaller than the right side, and the right side of the second claw being smaller than the left side. This makes it easier to guide the connecting rod 113 to move along the guide gap 119, and as shown in FIG. 5, it is possible to effectively prevent the connecting rod 113 from getting stuck.

[0033] Here, the top of the support rod 111 passes through the lower bite member 116, the fixed rotation shaft 112, and the upper bite member 115, and is then disposed on the top surface of the cap body outer shell 101. A second support spring 120 is provided between the inner top surface of the upper bite member 115 and the inner bottom surface of the lower bite member 116.

[0034] In the above embodiment, when a cap is attached, the pressure base 105 moves upward due to the pressure from the vial body, driving the transmission rod 110 to lift the identification turntable 106 upward. The fixed rotation shaft 112 at the center of the identification turntable 106 moves upward in synchronization, pressing the second support spring 120 upward. Because the connecting rod 113 is guided to move along the guide gap 119, when the identification turntable 106 drives the connecting rod 113 to move upward, it spirals upward due to the constraints of the guide gap 119. After reaching the top of the guide gap 119, it spirals down along the guide gap 119 with the assistance of the downward pressure from the second support spring 120 and moves to the lowest point of the next bite claw of the guide gap 119. This allows the identification turntable 106 to rotate.

[0035] In a specific implementation, a spiral groove (not shown) is provided on the inner wall of the cap body shell 101, which is used for screwing onto the vial body. This allows the cap to be screwed onto the vial body via the spiral groove, making the operation easier. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 , the plurality of identification regions 114 are set to three groups, each with the characters "morning," "afternoon," and "night." Alternatively, the display regions 114 are divided into six groups, each with two groups with the characters "morning," "afternoon," and "night," which are used to distinguish three times a day from one another to another. Alternatively, the identification regions 114 can be set to two groups, each with the characters "morning," "afternoon," or "morning" and "night," which are used to distinguish two times a day from one another to another.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely for illustrating the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to be limiting. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can be made to the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or that some or all of the technical features can be replaced with equivalents. Such modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to depart from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
