Abstract

A medicine distribution box device capable of automatically reminding medication timing is configured with a plurality of radial partitions on a transparent rotary disk which is further fixed to a shaft of a stepper motor and arranged in a box body. A box cover is fixed onto the box body and opened with an umbrella-shaped hole which is configured with an infrared sensor at a position corresponding to the lower portion of the partition with the same shape. When a timer of a control circuit reaches a predetermined medication time, the timer outputs a signal to the infrared sensor to sense whether there is a medicine in the partition below the umbrella-shaped hole; if not, a stepper motor is driven to drive the transparent rotary disk to move a partition distance to the umbrella-shaped hole. When the infrared sensor senses there is a medicine in the partition, the timer outputs a signal to flash an indicator light and make a buzzer sound, and outputs the signal to a computer via a RS232 level conversion circuit for storing the medication data. And the computer can transmit the signal to a wireless mobile phone or a remote computer and display the signal on the monitor. When the medicine is taken out from the partition, the infrared sensor senses no medicines and stops the flash of the indicator light and sounds of the buzzer, and the R232 level conversion circuit stops outputting the signal. When the timer reaches the next medication time, the aforementioned process is repeated. Therefore, the present invention is capable of providing a sighted person or a visually impaired person the medication timing and allowing a caregiver to manage the medication, to see whether the medicine should be supplemented or obtained from a pharmacy or a doctor after the medicine is used up, so as to prevent interruption or delays in medication.

Description

Automatic reminder device timing device

The invention relates to a medicine box device for automatically reminding the timing of medication, in particular, a medicine can provide a prescription time for a person with a clear eye or a visually impaired person, and provides a caregiver to supervise whether or not the medicine is used, whether the medicine should be supplemented, and the medicine or the doctor should be used after the medicine is used up. Take medicines to prevent discontinuation or delay in the technical field of medication.

According to the general medicine box, the most common one is a box of side by side, the box has a lid, and each box is printed on Monday, Sunday, early, middle, dinner, and sleeping. Remind medication before to prevent forgetting medication or avoid overdosing problems.

1. The conventional medicine box is fixed because it can prevent the medication from being used repeatedly. However, because there is no reminder time, it is easy to forget to take medicine, or the person who is demented is more common.

2. The conventional medicine box cannot provide visually impaired use, and it is difficult to determine whether it is correct by taking the medicine. It is necessary to use the help of the caregiver to use the medicine.

1. The present invention is characterized in that a plurality of radial compartments are arranged on a transparent turntable, and the turntable is fixed on a rotating shaft of a stepping motor and placed in a box body, and a box cover is fixed on the box body, and the box cover is fixed on the box cover. An umbrella hole is opened and fixed at a set position, and the umbrella hole is provided with an infrared sensor under the same shape of the compartment, and when the timer of the control circuit reaches the set medication time, the timer is Outputting a signal to the infrared sensor to sense the presence or absence of a drug between the cells below the umbrella hole.
