For example, although the container of the present invention is explained by taking a medicine bottle as an example, the container of the present invention may be a medicine box. When the container of the utility model is a medicine bottle, the cover is a bottle cover, the body of the container is a bottle body, and the two are detachably connected together through a thread pair; when the container of the utility model is a medicine box, the cover is a box cover, the body of the container is a box body, the two are connected together in a pivoting way, and each box body can be connected with one, two, three or other box covers in any number. Those skilled in the art can make modifications as needed to suit a particular application, and such modifications will still fall within the scope of the present invention.

It should be noted that in the description of the present invention, the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc. indicating the directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, which are only for convenience of description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus, should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" are to be construed broadly, and may be, for example, fixedly connected, detachably connected, or integrally connected; can be mechanically or electrically connected; they may be connected directly or indirectly through intervening media, or they may be interconnected between two elements. The specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention can be understood by those skilled in the art according to specific situations.

As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the medicine bottle of the present invention includes a bottle cap 1 and a bottle body 2, and the bottle cap 1 and the bottle body 2 are detachably connected together by a screw pair. Specifically, an inner circumferential surface of a portion of the bottle cap 1 connected to the bottle body 2 is provided with an inner thread, and an upper portion of the bottle body 2 is provided with an outer thread matching the inner thread. The bottle cap 1 can be screwed to the bottle body 2 through the internal thread and the external thread. In addition, the bottle cap 1 and the bottle body 2 may be detachably connected together in a snap-fit manner as required by those skilled in the art.

As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the bottle cap 1 mainly includes a cap body 11, and a power supply 12, a time module 13, a display 14, a key switch 15, a controller 16, and an indicator light 17 provided on the cap body 11.

With continued reference to fig. 3 and 4, the cover 11 includes a first cover 111 and a second cover 112 fixedly connected to each other, and a cavity 113 is formed between the first cover 111 and the second cover 112, and the cavity 113 is used for accommodating the power source 12, the time module 13, the display 14, the key switch 15, the controller 16, and the indicator 17. Specifically, the inner side of the upper end of the first cover 111 is provided with an annular groove (not labeled in the figure), in the mounted state, the second cover 112 is embedded into the annular groove, and the bottom end of the annular groove and the second cover 112 are adhered together by a double-sided adhesive tape or glue.

With continued reference to fig. 3 and 4, the first cover 111 is provided with a through hole 1111 at the bottom of the cavity 113. In an installed state, a body (not shown) of the key switch 15 is fixedly connected to the first cover 111, and a key (not shown) of the key switch 15 passes through the through hole 1111. When the bottle cap 1 is screwed on the bottle body 2, the edge of the bottle mouth of the bottle body 2 can compress the key of the key switch 15 for a stroke, so that the key switch 15 is switched from an on state to an off state. As will be understood by those skilled in the art, the key switch 15 is a normally closed switch, that is, when the bottle cap 1 is separated from the bottle body 2, the key of the key switch 15 returns to the initial position, and the key switch 15 is switched from the off state to the on state; when the bottle cap 1 is screwed with the bottle body 2, the key of the key switch 15 is compressed, and the key switch 15 is switched from the on state to the off state. Further, the person skilled in the art may set the key switch 15 to be a normally open switch as needed.

With continued reference to fig. 3 and 4, the second cover 112 has a first window (not shown) aligned with the display screen of the display 14, a second window (not shown) aligned with the display screen of the time module 13, and a third window (not shown) aligned with the indicator light 17. Further, the time module 13, the display 14 and the indicator light 17 are all fixedly connected to the second cover 112. Further, the display of the time module 13 is embedded in a sealed manner in the second window, the display of the display 14 is embedded in a sealed manner in the first window, and the indicator light 17 is also embedded in a sealed manner in the third window.

As shown in fig. 1 and 4, the second cover 112 is further provided with two through holes, which are aligned with the two adjusting buttons 131 of the time module 13, respectively, so that a user can operate the two adjusting buttons 131 to adjust the time displayed by the time module 13. Preferably, the two adjustment buttons 131 pass through the two through holes of the second cover 112, respectively, so as to facilitate the user's operation.

With continued reference to fig. 1 and 4, the outside of the second cover 112 is further provided with a wording "last time medicine taking time" near the first window to remind the user that the time displayed at the first window is the last time medicine taking time of the user. Furthermore, the skilled person can replace the word with any other possible word or graphic for reminding the user of the last time to take the medicine, such as "last time to take medicine" or an arrow pointing to the first window, as required.

As shown in fig. 5, two ends of the time module 13 are electrically connected to the positive and negative electrodes of the power source 12, two ends of the display 14 are electrically connected to the positive and negative electrodes of the power source 12, the key switch 15 and the controller 16 are connected in series with the power source 12, and the indicator light 17 is connected in series between the key switch 15 and the power source 12. The controller 16 is communicatively coupled to the time module 13 and the display 14, respectively. Further, the various connections shown in FIG. 5 are implemented by wire. The power source 12 is used for supplying power to the time module 13, the display 14, the controller 16 and the indicator light 17, so that the time module 13 and the display 14 display time in real time. Wherein the time module 13 displays the current time and the display 14 displays the last time the vial was opened.

With continued reference to fig. 5, when the vial is opened (i.e., the cap 1 is separated from the body 2), the key switch 15 is switched from the off state to the on state, the indicator light 17 is illuminated, and the controller 16 obtains the current and thus the current time from the time module 13 and sends the current time to the display 14, causing the display 14 to erase the previously displayed time and display the current time. When the medicine bottle is closed (i.e. the bottle cap 1 and the bottle body 2 are screwed together), the key switch 15 is switched from the on state to the off state, the indicator light 17 is turned off, the time module 13 continues to display the changed current time, and the display 14 displays the time when the medicine bottle is opened last time until the displayed time is updated when the medicine bottle is opened again.

Optionally, the controller 16 is arranged to obtain the current time from the time module 13 and send the current time to the display 14 while detecting the key switch 15 being switched from the off state to the on state; alternatively, the controller 16 is configured to obtain the current time from the time module 13 and send the current time to the display 14 after detecting the preset duration of time for the key switch 15 to switch from the off state to the on state. The preset time period may be any feasible value, such as 1S, 1.5S, 2S, and the like.

It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the indicator light 17 serves the main purpose of preventing the key switch 15 from being switched from the on state to the off state and thus the next opening time from being accurately recorded when the cap 1 and the bottle body 2 are not screwed together. Therefore, the indicator lamp 17 can remind the user whether the bottle cap 1 and the bottle body 2 are screwed down, thereby ensuring the reliability of the medicine bottle in the using process.

It will also be understood by those skilled in the art that the key switch 15 and the controller 16 together constitute detection means for detecting whether the medicine bottle is opened. The detection means may also be any other feasible member, element or means, in case it is possible to detect whether the vial is opened or not.

Based on the above description, it can be understood by those skilled in the art that since the user needs to open the medicine bottle each time he takes medicine and screw the bottle cap 1 and the bottle body 2 tightly after having taken the medicine, the medicine bottle of the present invention enables the user to directly read the last time the medicine bottle was opened (i.e. the last time he took medicine) from the display 14, thereby avoiding the situation that he takes medicine or misses taking medicine for a plurality of times with the same time of taking medicine.

Although not shown, in another possible embodiment of the present invention, unlike the above-mentioned embodiment shown in fig. 1 to 4, the second cover 112 is a transparent plate-like structure without the first window, the second window and the third window, and the time module 13, the display 14 and the indicator light 17 are all disposed in the cavity 113.

Although not shown in the drawings, in another possible embodiment of the present invention, unlike the above-described embodiment shown in fig. 1 to 5, the controller 16 is omitted and the push switch 15 is replaced with a pressure sensor capable of being pressed by the bottle cap 1 and the bottle body 2. The pressure sensor is used as a detection device for detecting whether the bottle cap 1 and the bottle body 2 are screwed down. The display 14 comprises a microcontroller which is in communication with the time module 13 and the pressure sensor, respectively. When the bottle cap 1 is separated from the bottle body 2, the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor is smaller than a first preset threshold value, and the microcontroller receives the information and then obtains the current time from the time module 13 and enables the display screen of the display 14 to display the current time. When the bottle cap 1 and the bottle body 2 are screwed together, the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor is larger than a second preset threshold value, and the microcontroller enables the display 14 to continuously display the last uncapping time until the medicine bottle is opened again. The specific values of the first preset threshold and the second preset threshold can be obtained through multiple tests.

It should be noted that the power source 12 of the present invention can be a button battery, a No. 5 battery, a rechargeable micro lithium battery, etc. In the case where "the current time of the time block 13 is acquired when the key switch 15 is detected to be turned on and the display 16 is caused to display the current time" can be realized, the controller 16 of the present invention may be any feasible controller. Since the variety of controllers is great and the selection of the controller and the implementation of the above functions are all conventional technical means in the field, they will not be described in detail herein.

So far, the technical solution of the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings, but it is easily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of the present invention, a person skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the related technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
