DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a vial indicating a time for taking a medicine according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a vial according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a sectional view of a vial according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 3 is a cross- Fig.

As shown in the figure, the structure of a vial according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first rotation module 100, a second rotation module 200, a notification module 300, and a case 400.

First, the case (400) is a container for storing medicines, and is a device capable of holding or taking medicines through the upper entrance. Since the case is already widely used, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The first rotation module 100 is a device for opening and closing the entrance of the case 400. 3, a groove 110 is formed on one side of the first rotation module and is rotated by a protrusion 210 of a second rotation module 200 to be described later, ) Is opened and closed.

The second rotation module 200 is connected to the first rotation module 100, And may be formed in a ring shape surrounding the first rotation module 100 as shown in FIG. At this time, the second rotation module 200 includes a protrusion 210 protruding inside the first rotation module 100, which is smaller than the groove 110 of the first rotation module 100.

The protrusion 210 is smaller than the groove 110 so that the protrusion 210 can be inserted into the groove 110 of the first rotation module 100 as shown in FIG. According to the above-described structure, the protrusion 210 of the second rotation module 200 can move only in the groove 110 of the first rotation module 100.

Particularly, when the second rotation module 200 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, the protrusion 210 on the inner side of the second rotation module also rotates, and the first rotation module 100 The protrusions 210 inserted into the grooves 110 move together to rotate together to open and close the inlet of the case 400.

As shown in FIG. 2, by forming the protrusions 120 and 220 spaced apart from each other in the inside and the outside of the first rotation module 100 and the inside of the second rotation module, 200 can be rotated without being separated from the first rotation module 100.

The notification module 300 is a device for propagating the medicine to the outside when it takes a medicine taking time, and comprises a button 310 and a timer 320.

The button 310 is a device for operating a timer to be described later. When the button 310 is pressed by a pressure of a predetermined value or more due to the presence of an elastic body therein, the button 310 transmits a signal to a timer to be described later. .

The timer 320 is a device for receiving a signal from the button and counting the time for taking the medicine. The timer 320 receives a signal from the button 310 and recognizes the signal as a start time count start instruction to reset the existing count time and start counting again until the set time It continues.

The timer 320 may include a controller to set a time for taking the medicine. The control unit may form an input button so that the drug user can directly set the drug taking time. If the doctor who prescribes the drug does not want to change the setting of the dose time of the drug user, .

In addition, the timer 320 includes a clock-like configuration for informing the outside that the medication-taking time is counted, and it may be exposed to the outside to inform the medicated person of the remaining time.

In addition, the notification module 300 may further include an alarm unit 330 to notify the outside that the time for taking the medication more clearly. The alarm unit 330 may include a light emitting device such as an LED or an alarm device such as a speaker. The timer 320 transmits a signal to the alarm unit 330 when the count is completed, and when the alarm unit receives a signal from the timer, And tell them that it is time to take medication around.

4 is an operation diagram of a vial indicating a time for taking a medicine according to an embodiment of the present invention.

4 (a) shows an operation of opening the inlet by rotating the first rotation module 100 closing the case inlet to take out the medicine inside the case 400. As shown in FIG.

More specifically, the drug user grasps the outer surface of the second rotation module 200 to open the entrance of the case 400, and performs a rotation operation. At this time, the protrusion 210 formed inside the second rotation module is also rotated, and the first rotation module 100 rotates together with the rotation of the protrusion 210 inserted in the groove 110 The case inlet is opened.

FIG. 4 (b) shows the operation of rotating the second rotation module 200 to close the case inlet after taking the medicine.

As shown in the drawing. When the second rotary module is rotated in the direction opposite to the case opening direction, the protrusion 210 also applies a force to the first rotary module 100 in a direction opposite to the direction in which the case is opened to rotate the lid .

At this time, the protrusion 210 also exerts a force on the button 310 formed in the groove 110. When the first rotation module 100 reaches the case entrance locking position, Is formed to be greater than the frictional force generated when the first rotation module 100 rotates, thereby preventing the button 310 from being pressed.

Of course, the elasticity of the spring may be smaller than the frictional force. However, if the elasticity of the spring is too small, the button is pressed too easily, and when not desired, the timer 320 may be reset and counting may be started again. Should be adjusted.

4 (c) shows a state in which the first rotation module reaches the case lock position.

As shown in the figure, when the first rotation module 100 reaches the case lock position by the second rotation module 200, the frictional force with the case 400 suddenly increases, and the rotation operation is no longer performed. In the above state, when the rotation operation is continued to the second rotation module, the protrusion 210 further rotates while applying a force stronger than spring elasticity to the button 310, and the button is pressed. Then, the depressed button sends a signal to the timer 320 to start counting.

The button 310 is formed in the groove 110 of the first rotary module 100 and is pressed by the protrusion 210 of the second rotary device, It is preferable to form the protrusion smaller than the area where the button is formed in the groove.

As described above, according to the present invention, when a user takes medicine in the case 400 and then operates the timer 320 automatically in closing the case entrance, It is possible to solve the problem of missing the next medicine taking time because it is not operated again.

Although the present invention has been shown and described with reference to certain preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims. It should be understood that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the invention.
