detailed description

Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , which are a schematic view of the appearance of the first embodiment of the present invention and an exploded view of the first embodiment of the present invention respectively. As shown in the figure: a medicine box with a reminder mechanism of the present invention is at least composed of a storage unit 1 , a monitoring mechanism 2 and a reminder mechanism 3 .

The accommodating unit 1 mentioned above has a plurality of placing areas 11, and the accommodating unit 1 further includes an upper cover 12 respectively movably combined with the top of each placing area 11, a seat 13 capable of accommodating each placing area 11 and a The base plate 14 on the bottom surface of the seat body 13, and each placement area 11 is a light-transmitting material (such as plastic materials such as PC, PE or PVC that can be penetrated by light rays such as infrared rays, lasers, or blue light), and each placement area 11 The bottom has a concave arc surface 111, and each placement area 11 can be cylindrical or polygonal, wherein the polygonal shape is square or rectangular.

The monitoring mechanism 2 is combined with the accommodation unit 1, and the monitoring mechanism 2 is arranged on the base plate 14, which includes a control unit 21, a plurality of monitors 22 connected with the control unit 21 and corresponding to the bottom of each placement area 11, and a The medicine box identifier unit 23 connected to the control unit 21, in which each monitor 22 is a light-sensing transceiver, can judge the storage state of the medicine in the storage area 11 according to the reflection amount of each concave arc surface 111.

The reminder mechanism 3 is combined with the accommodation unit 1 and connected with the monitoring mechanism 2, and the reminder mechanism 3 includes a processor 31, a power unit 32 connected to the processor 31, an output unit 33 connected to the processor 31, A human-machine interface 34 connected to the processor 31 and an identifier unit 35 connected to the processor 31, wherein the power unit 32 is used as the power source required for the use of the monitoring mechanism 2 and the reminding mechanism 3, the output unit 33 It includes a speaker 331 and light-emitting components 332 respectively arranged on the seat body 13 and corresponding to each placement area 11. Each light-emitting component 332 is a light-emitting diode, and the man-machine interface 34 includes a display 341 and a plurality of buttons 342. In addition, the The monitoring mechanism 2 and the reminding mechanism 3 are connected to each other through the connectors 24 and 36 . In this way, the reminder structure of a brand-new medicine box is formed by combining the above-mentioned technical features.

When the utility model is in use, the connectors 24, 36 of the monitoring mechanism 2 and the reminding mechanism 3 can be connected with an external host (such as a computer host, not shown in the figure), and then the medicine box identifier unit 23 can be edited by the control unit 21 Internal patient data and time management of taking medicine, and can be operated through the button 342 of the man-machine interface 34, and read the time management of patient data and taking medicine in the medicine box identifier unit 23 through the identifier unit 35, and It is displayed by the display 341, so as to confirm whether it is a medicine box dedicated to the patient.

Once in use, the medicines are respectively stored in each storage area 11 of the accommodation unit 1 according to the time and frequency of taking the medicines by the patient (such as monthly, weekly, daily, morning, noon or evening, etc.), so that The medicine is located in the middle of the concave arc surface 111, and then, each monitor 22 monitors the medicine in the middle of the concave arc surface 111 in the corresponding placement area 11 respectively; when there is medicine in the concave arc surface 111 of each placement area 11 , the maximum amount of reflection can be obtained, and when there is no drug, only the minimum amount of reflection can be obtained. By the size of the reflection amount, the storage status of the drug in each storage area 11 can be judged; if the patient takes out the drug by himself when the time is up , the monitor 22 will not send any monitoring signal to the reminder mechanism 3, on the contrary, if the patient has not taken out the medicine in the placement area 11 when the time is up, the monitor 22 will monitor the signal that the medicine has not been taken out be transmitted to the control unit 21, and transmitted to the processor 31 of the reminding mechanism 3 through the connectors 24 and 36 of handshake communication. 11 corresponds to the light-emitting component 332, and carry out the prompt of voice or light signal, so as to remind the patient that must take medicine on time.

Please refer to FIG. 3 again, which is a schematic view of the appearance of the second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure: In addition to the technical features mentioned in the above-mentioned first embodiment, the utility model can also be the structure type of the second embodiment of the utility model, and the difference is that the reminding mechanism 3 is further It includes a wireless communication module 37 connected to the processor 31, wherein the wireless communication module 37 is a Bluetooth communication module, a Wi-Fi communication module, a 3G communication module, a 4G communication module or a LAN communication module.

In this way, in addition to enabling the reminding mechanism 3 to use the output unit 33 to notify the patient to take the medicine, it is also possible to send all the medicines in the storage area 11 through the monitor 22 when the time for taking the medicine is up and the patient has not taken out the medicine in the placement area 11. It is detected that the signal that the medicine has not been taken out is transmitted to the control unit 21, and is transmitted to the processor 31 of the reminder mechanism 3 through the connectors 24 and 36 of the handshake communication. At this time, the processor 31 will drive the wireless communication module 37, and according to The patient data in the identifier unit 35 (such as contact information such as mobile phone number or email), and the monitoring signal of the untaken medicine is transmitted to the communication device 4 of the patient (such as mobile phone, smart phone, smart watch or computers and other signaling devices), so as to remind patients to take their medicines on time through remote transmission.

To sum up, the medicine box with reminding mechanism of the present utility model has effectively improved the defects of the prior art, and the medicine can be contained in each storage area of the storage unit, and the monitoring mechanism can monitor the medicine in each storage area. Whether it has been taken or not, if it is detected that the medicine in the storage area has not been taken, it will output a monitoring signal to the reminder mechanism, so that the reminder mechanism will issue an audible and visual warning to remind the patient to take the medicine on time, so as to achieve time management and active reminder The effectiveness of the patent application has met the basic conditions for patent application, and the patent application is filed according to law.

However, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, and should not limit the scope of the present utility model implementation.
