It is formed horizontally at the bottom of the medicine cassette, then curves at a certain point to increase in height, and the height increases as it moves toward the medicine bag discharge port.

[0044] One end of the medicine bag guide (113) is connected to the top of the cutting guide plate (115).

[0045] The transfer drive unit (114) is composed of a motor (114a) and a roller (114b) to transfer the medicine bag (101), is positioned in close proximity to the medicine bag guide unit (113), a portion of the medicine bag (101) is inserted between the motor (114a) and the roller (114b), and the remaining portion of the medicine bag (101) is placed on the upper surface of the medicine bag guide unit (113), and the medicine bag (101) moves along the medicine bag guide unit (113) by driving the motor (114a).

[0046] As illustrated in FIG. 3, the cutting guide plate (115) is set up vertically to form the outer surface of the main body (111) in the shape of a rectangular flat plate. The main body (111) forms a protrusion (115a) that protrudes inward from one edge of the lower side of one surface formed on the side of the medicine bag discharge opening.

[0047] The cutting guide plate (115) extends from the other edge of the lower side of one side of the main body (111) and is connected to the inside of the protrusion (115a) to form a certain angle.

[0048] The cutting guide plate (115) is a plate-shaped component that reduces the force required to discharge and cut the medicine bag (101) to the outside, performs the function of guiding the medicine bag (101) to be cut accurately, and is tilted at a certain angle so that the medicine bag can be cut with less force.

[0049] When the control unit (119) receives a button signal, it rotates the motor (114a) so that the medicine bag (101) enters between the motor (114a) and the roller (114b) and is transported along the medicine bag guide (113), so that the medicine bag perforation line is positioned at the medicine bag cutting section (116), and the remaining medicine bag portion is exposed to the outside. At this time, the user pulls the medicine bag (101) exposed to the outside to tear it off and cut it.

[0050] As illustrated in FIG. 5, the user terminal (130) can execute a mobile application to input the desired drug supply time information (Fig. 5 (a), (b), (c), (d)), and transmit the input drug supply time information to the drug administration management device (110).

[0054] The control unit (119) controls the motor (114a) according to the medicine supply time information stored in the storage unit (119b) to expose the medicine bag (101) to the outside.

[0055] The medicine bag cutting section (116) is formed by connecting one end of the medicine bag guide section (113) to the top of the cutting guide plate (115), where the cutting line of the medicine bag (101) is located and the medicine bag (101) is cut by the force of the user. In other words, the medicine bag cutting section (116) is formed at the point where the end of the medicine bag guide section (113) and the top of the cutting guide plate (115) meet, and the cutting line of the medicine bag is located therein.

[0056] The cutting portion (116) of the medicine bag is designed so that force is concentrated along the perforation line of the medicine bag.

[0057] The cutting section optimization section (118) can perform optimization of the cutting angle of the medicine bag cutting section (116) area to minimize the force required when a user of the medicine administration device tears open and cuts the medicine bag.

[0058] The cutting section optimization section (118) is the first angle at which a change in direction occurs in the medicine bag cutting section (116) from the medicine bag guide section (113). ) and the second angle formed by the medicine bag (101) located above the medicine bag cutting section (116) and the cutting guide plate (115) By adjusting the cutting angle of the ) the user can set a cutting angle at which the force required to tear the medicine bag (101) is minimized.

[0059] In the following, the cutting section optimization section (118) is the angle of the area of ​​the medicine bag cutting section (116). , Explains ) and optimization tasks in detail.

[0060] FIG. 6 is according to an embodiment of the present invention and This is a diagram showing the relationship between them, and FIG. 7 is according to an embodiment of the present invention and This is a diagram showing the relationship between them, and FIG. 8 is according to an embodiment of the present invention and This is a diagram showing the relationship between them.

[0061] The following mathematical formulas 1, 2, and 3 are formulas that explain the friction relationship in a belt and pulley system. When applied to the medicine bag guide section (113), the medicine bag cutting section (116), and the cutting guide plate (115), they can explain the tension change and friction relationship that occurs while the medicine bag (101) moves from the medicine bag guide section (113) through the medicine bag cutting section (116) to the cutting guide plate (115).

[0062] [Mathematical Formula 1]

[0063]

[0064] Here, is the tension generated by the user applying an initial force when pulling the medicine bag, and is a tension in the opposite direction generated in the cutting guide plate (115) as the medicine bag passes the medicine bag cutting section (116), and is a tension that includes friction at the medicine bag cutting section (116) and additional force required during the cutting process, and This represents the friction coefficient between the surface of the medicine bag guide part (113) and the medicine bag cutting part (116) and the medicine bag, and the higher the friction coefficient, the greater the tension during movement.

[0065] This may be the tension required when the medicine bag (101) is discharged to the outside beyond the medicine bag cutting portion (116).

[0066] It represents the geometric relationship between the medicine bag guide section (113) and the medicine bag cutting section (116), and the angle formed by the intersection of a vertical line drawn from one side of the medicine bag guide section (113) and a vertical line drawn from one side of the cutting guide plate (115) at the medicine bag cutting section (116).

[0067] The angle at which the direction change occurs from the medicine bag guide section (113) to the medicine bag cutting section (116) is a geometric angle at which the medicine bag enters the corner of the medicine bag cutting section (116) and changes direction, and the larger the angle, the greater the tension required during movement.

[0068] The reason for defining (1) the angle just before the medicine bag enters the medicine bag cutting section (116) and the tension and reaction that the medicine bag exerts on the medicine bag cutting section (116) class ) can be analyzed. (2) The task of optimizing the cutting angle of the medicine bag may be to derive the optimal angle so that the medicine bag moves to the medicine bag cutting section (116) and the user cuts the medicine bag with minimal force. Here, the cutting angle of the medicine bag is and It may include.

[0069] In other words, is the tension when the medicine bag starts moving in the medicine bag guide part (113), and is the tension at the end of the cutting portion (116) of the medicine bag. is the coefficient of friction and angle The larger the value, the greater the increase. The end of the cutting portion (116) of the medicine bag may be a point where a vertical line is drawn.

[0070] Mathematical formula 2 represents the difference in tension (resistance due to friction) that occurs while the medicine bag moves along the medicine bag guide part (113) to the medicine bag cutting part (116).

[0071] [Mathematical Formula 2]

[0072]

[0073] [Mathematical Formula 3]

[0074]

[0075] Here, is a frictional force generated by friction as the medicine bag passes through the medicine bag cutting section (116), that is, represents the force resisted by the cutting guide plate (115) when the user pulls the medicine bag, is the tension of the medicine bag guide part (113), which is the tension existing in the medicine bag guide part (113) just before the medicine bag moves to the medicine bag cutting part (116), and is the coefficient of friction between the surface of the medicine bag guide part (113) and the medicine bag cutting part (116) and the medicine bag. The coefficient of friction is a predetermined value that indicates the degree of friction between surfaces when two objects come into contact. This is the angle formed by the medicine bag guide section (113) and the medicine bag cutting section (116), representing the angle at which the direction of the medicine bag changes as it moves from the medicine bag guide section (113) to the medicine bag cutting section (116).

[0076] When, in the XZ plane and friction Since it is proportional, the coefficient of friction It can be treated as a constant as follows. Therefore, as illustrated in Fig. 6, If this increases, the pulling force It can be confirmed that it decreases.

[0077] As shown in FIG. 8, and pulling force An experiment is conducted to optimize the angle of the cutting portion (116) of the medicine bag. When the medicine bag is pulled and torn to cut, the maximum force is measured, and the experimental results The larger this gets, the pulling force on the medicine bag Confirm that this is decreasing. Therefore, As the value increases, the user can open the medicine bag more easily. As illustrated in Fig. 6, the angle that can actually be set in the design ( Since the maximum value of ) is 135° Set to = 135°.

[0078] FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of applying a medication management device according to an embodiment of the present invention to a free-body diagram, and FIG. 10 is according to an embodiment of the present invention and This is a diagram showing the relationship between them.

[0079] Figure 9 is a diagram showing a Free Body Diagram (FBD) and the Resolution of Forces. In other words, the process of decomposing and analyzing the various forces acting on an object is visually represented.

[0080] Figure 9 (a) is a free body diagram showing the direction and relationship of the force acting on the object (rectangular parallelepiped or boundary surface).

[0081] F1 is a force acting downward in the vertical direction, F2 is a force acting upward along the inclined plane, and N is a normal reaction force acting at the contact surface, represents the angle of inclination where force F2 acts.

[0082] Figure 9 (b) is a graph showing the analysis of forces, decomposing each force into coordinate axis components.

[0083] is the horizontal component of the vertical reaction, and is the vertical component of F2, and is the vertical component of the normal reaction force, and is the horizontal component of F2, and This represents the frictional force on the surface of the cut portion (116) of the medicine bag.

[0084] A free body diagram can be applied to a medication administration device. The angle is created by the intersection of the medicine bag and the cutting guide plate (115) at the medicine bag cutting section (116), and more specifically, it may be the angle formed by the horizontal line of the medicine bag and the surface of the cutting guide plate (115) that the medicine bag first meets.

[0085] As illustrated in FIG. 9(b), the following Equation 4 can be defined using a graph in which each force is decomposed into coordinate axis components. That is, Equation 4 is It can be a force equilibrium equation occurring in a plane.

[0086] Mathematical formula 5 is the angle formed by the medicine bag guide part (113) and the medicine bag cutting part (116), which represent the angle of the surface in contact according to the aforementioned mathematical formula 1. The equation regarding the pulling force F1 is expressed by the following mathematical equation 5.

[0087] As illustrated in FIG. 10, the cutting section optimization section (118) is the angle formed by the medicine bag and the cutting guide plate (115) in the medicine bag cutting section (116) (the angle created by the intersection of the medicine bag and the cutting guide plate (115)). It can be confirmed that as is larger, F1, which is the pulling force and cutting force, decreases.

[0088] [Mathematical Formula 4]

[0089]

[0090] Here, N is the vertical reaction force acting on the medicine bag (101) at the medicine bag cutting portion (116), and represents the angle at which a reaction force is formed at the cut portion (116) of the medicine bag.

[0091] [Mathematical Formula 5]

[0092]

[0093] Here, In a plane, θ is the angle formed between the medicine bag and the cutting guide plate (115). If an equilibrium equation is formed based on Fig. 9(b), it can be expressed as the following mathematical equation 6. F1 is the force that the user must apply when tearing the medicine bag (101) from the cutting guide plate (115), and F2 is the initial tension applied to the medicine bag (101) at the medicine bag cutting section (116), that is, the initial tension generated when the medicine bag (101) passes through the medicine bag cutting section (116). is the coefficient of friction representing the frictional effect between the cut portion of the medicine bag and the medicine bag.

[0094] In mathematical formula 5 If the value of is too large, F1 increases, and the user must apply greater force, so it may be difficult to cut the medicine bag (101) or the likelihood of the medicine bag (101) tearing may increase.

[0095] In mathematical formula 5 The larger this is As the value increases, F2 becomes smaller (allowing the user to cut the medicine bag (101) with less force), If it gets higher As it grows, F2 becomes smaller.

[0096] F2 is F1, , , By determining and optimizing F2, the user can open the medicine bag (101) with less force, and the cutting can be smooth without the medicine bag (101) being torn.

[0097] [Mathematical Formula 6]

[0098]

[0099] friction go When it is larger, the force balance is not achieved, causing slippage and potentially damaging the medicine packet.

[0100] The cutting section optimization section (118) is If this is satisfied, the medicine bag (101) is not damaged by using mathematical formulas 5 and 6. You can set the range of. This means that the medicine bag (101) is bent at a 90° angle at the cutting portion (116) of the medicine bag.

[0101] The condition refers to a state in which the medicine bag (101) is bent at 90° at the cutting portion (116) of the medicine bag while maintaining appropriate friction and tension. Based on this condition, when a user pulls the medicine bag (101), the cutting can be performed smoothly without applying excessive force. The optimal range can be set. In other words, if these conditions are satisfied, a state is ensured where the medicine bag (101) is not torn or damaged at the medicine bag cutting portion (116). The optimal value of can be found.

[0102] Using the aforementioned mathematical formula 6, the following mathematical formula 7 can be generated.

[0103] [Mathematical Formula 7]

[0104]

[0105] In the XY plane If θ is greater than 46.2°, the frictional force Slip occurs due to

[0106] Derived from the aforementioned mathematical formula 5 and Based on the relationship, When the angle is 46.2°, the cutting force required to open the medicine packet You can confirm that this is the minimum.

[0107] FIG. 11 is a cutting force test result according to an embodiment of the present invention. This is a diagram showing optimization.

[0108] Cutting angle Shows the relationship between and the Pulling Force, and the analysis results As the amount increased, the cutting force decreased, and damage to the medicine bag It occurred at > 20°. In other words, As the size increased, the pulling force of the user decreased, but the number of times the medicine bag (101) was torn due to slip It occurred at 20°.

[0109] Also, actually At > 50°, slip occurred, making measurement impossible. Accordingly, The angle is such that the medicine bag is not damaged It was set to = 20°.

[0110] As shown in Table 1 below , Wow, if we calculate the pulling force F1 using the aforementioned mathematical equations 4 and 5, =90°, When =0°, F1 is calculated to be 15.56N, and =135°, When =20°, F1 is calculated to be 4.68N.

[0111] [Table 1]

[0112]

[0113] Cutting angle in the xz plane As this increases, the frictional force generated on the surface of the cutting portion (116) of the medicine bag increases, and the cutting angle in the xy plane It was confirmed that as the size increases, the force required to open the medicine bag (101) decreases.

[0114] The medication management device (110) Increase (90 degrees -> 135 degrees), and When the temperature is increased (0 degrees -> 20 degrees), it is shown that the force (F1) required to open the medicine bag (101) decreases by 69.92%.

[0115] At this time, There is a section where slip occurs because the force is not balanced, so that the medicine bag (101) is not damaged. It was set. After improvement, it was confirmed that the average value of the pulling force decreased by 69.92%.

[0116] The present invention measures and analyzes the frictional force between a medicine bag and a component within a medicine administration device to find optimal friction conditions and designs the device at an appropriate angle relative to the position of the medicine administration device. Although conventional technology involves the development of medicine administration devices that automatically supply medicine bags one by one to support convenient medication use, problems arise where the middle of the medicine bag tears during use, causing damage to the bag, or where the bag does not open properly due to slippage.

[0117] The present invention is designed to minimize the force required when a user tears open a medicine bag, allowing the bag to be opened with one hand, while simultaneously preventing damage to the medicine bag. This is expected to improve usability and accessibility, thereby reducing the burden of patient medication management, enhancing medication adherence, and reducing the burden on the medical system.
