Description

Medication Management Equipment

This invention is related to medication devices, and in particular to medication management devices that actively remind patients to take medications at the time when they need to take the medications.

According to the general practice, chronic patients who need to take medicine for a long time usually use medicine boxes to classify or separate the medicines to be taken each time. The known medicine boxes do not have a medicine reminder function, so the function is simple, which leads to chronic patients often forgetting to take medicine and delaying the condition, or taking too much medicine and causing side effects, which is very inconvenient to use.

Therefore, in view of the above problems, the inventor of this case invested a lot of time in studying relevant knowledge, comparing the advantages and disadvantages of various aspects, and conducting research and development of related products. Finally, a medication management device was launched to improve the above deficiencies to meet the needs of the public.

The main purpose of this invention is to provide a medication management device that reminds patients to take their medication at every medication time every day.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned creative purpose, this creation provides a kind of medication management equipment, which includes:

A main body, with a plurality of medicine grids recessed therein, each of which has a spring, and a controller with a networking function is provided, the controller is electrically connected to an electromagnet and an LED lamp, and the controller can activate the electromagnet and the LED lamp to produce an effect;

A plurality of medicine boxes can be arranged in the plurality of medicine grids, each of which has a storage space for placing medicines, and each of which has a metal sheet at the bottom. When the medicine box compresses the spring downward, the metal sheet can be attracted by the electromagnetic iron phase with magnetic attraction after power is turned on and positioned;

A smart phone, having an application module, which can calculate the time to take the medicine in the medicine box in each medicine grid, and the smart phone can be paired and connected with each controller of the main body;

The application module of the smart phone calculates the medicine in the medicine box of one of the medicine boxes, and when it is time to take the medicine, it sends an activation signal to the controller of the medicine box, so that the electromagnet has no magnetic attraction, and the spring bounces the medicine box upward, and the LED light emits light to remind the user to take the medicine.

In one embodiment, the electromagnet has a switch. When the activation signal is received, the switch is turned on, the electromagnet is not powered and has no magnetic attraction. When the medicine box is pressed down, the switch is closed and power is supplied to the electromagnet to generate magnetic attraction, thereby sucking the medicine box.

In one embodiment, the medicine box further has a box cover to cover and seal the accommodating space, and the medicine box and the box cover are designed as an integrated unit using a flexible material.

In one embodiment, the box cover has multiple colors to distinguish different medication time periods.

In one embodiment, the medicine box is made of transparent material.

In one embodiment, the smart phone is a smart phone.

In one embodiment, the main body further has a voice playing unit connected to the application module of the smart phone to broadcast the time.

Please refer to the first to fourth figures, which show that the medication management device 100 provided in a preferred embodiment of the present invention mainly includes: a main body 10, a plurality of medicine boxes 20 and a smart phone 30.

The main body 10 is recessed with a plurality of medicine grids 11, please refer to Figures 2 and 3. Each medicine grid 11 has a spring 12 and is provided with a controller 13 with a networking function. The controller 13 is electrically connected to an electromagnet 14 and an LED lamp 15. The electromagnet 14 has a switch 141. When the switch 141 is closed, power is supplied to the electromagnet 14, so that the electromagnet 14 can generate magnetic attraction. When the switch 141 is turned on, the electromagnet 14 is not powered and has no magnetic attraction.

The plurality of medicine boxes 20 can be arranged in the plurality of medicine grids 11 correspondingly, each of the medicine boxes 20 has a storage space 21 for placing medicines, and the medicine box 20 further has a box cover 22 to cover and seal the storage space 21. The medicine box 20 and the box cover 22 are designed as an integrated unit using a flexible material, and the box cover 22 is further designed to have a variety of colors, which can be used to distinguish different medication time periods such as morning, noon, evening and before going to bed, and the visual distinction is obvious; and the medicine box 20 is made of a transparent material, which is convenient for seeing the medicines in the storage space 21 clearly; and each of the medicine boxes 20 has a metal sheet 23 at the bottom, which can be adsorbed by the electromagnet 14 having a magnetic attraction after being powered on.

The smart phone 30 can be paired and connected with each of the controllers 13 of the main body 10. The smart phone 30 has an application module (App). The user's medication time is input from the smart phone 30, and the application module (App) calculates the medication time of the medicine in the medicine box 20 in each medicine grid 11. When the medication time is reached, an activation signal is sent to the controller 13 of the medicine grid 11 to activate the electromagnet 14 and the LED light 15 in the medicine grid 11.

In addition, the main body 10 has a voice playing unit 16 connected to the application module of the smart phone 30 and can be used to broadcast the time.

When the medication management device 100 of the present invention is used, the user first puts the medications that need to be taken into the storage space 21 of the plurality of medicine boxes 20 according to different medication time periods such as morning, noon, evening and before going to bed, and the plurality of medicine boxes 20 are arranged according to Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. As shown in the second figure, each medicine box 20 is placed in the medicine grid 11, and the medicine box 20 compresses the spring 12 downward, and the switch 141 is closed. After the electromagnet 14 is energized, it generates a magnetic attraction, which can absorb the metal sheet 23 at the bottom of the medicine box 20, and the medicine box 20 is sucked and positioned; then, the smart phone 30 is operated to input the corresponding medication time every day. The start signal is generated at a time such as 7:30, 12:30, 18:30, 21:30, etc. When the time is reached, the controller 13 with networking function in the corresponding medicine box 11 receives the start signal, so that the switch 141 of the electromagnet 14 is turned on, and the electromagnet 14 is not energized and has no magnetic attraction. At this time, the spring 12 bounces the medicine box 20 upward, and at the same time, the LED lamp 15 emits light, thereby reminding the user to pick up the medicine box 20, open the box cover 22, and pour out the medicine in the accommodating space 21 to take it at each medication time every day. In this way, the situation of often forgetting to take medicine and delaying the disease can be avoided.

After taking the medicine, the medicine box 20 is put into the medicine grid 11 and pressed down, so that the switch 141 of the electromagnet 14 is closed and energized, and the metal sheet 23 at the bottom of the medicine box 20 is adsorbed by magnetic attraction, and the medicine box 20 is sucked back to its original position.

Please refer to the fourth figure, the medication management device 100 of the present invention, when the set time is reached, makes the medicine box 20 pop up and the LED lamp 15 emits light, and through tactile and visual touch and changes, it can remind the user that it is time to take the medicine and the user must take the medicine, which can indeed achieve the expected creative purpose of the present invention.

The above disclosure is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. All equivalent changes made by relevant technical personnel in the technical field based on the present invention should fall within the scope covered by the present invention.
