[0004] One of the defects is that the opening is small. In order to prevent the sharps storage box from tipping over, the opening is designed to be small, which brings new problems: sharps are not easy to put in accurately and are easy to fall, causing secondary pollution or the risk of medical staff being injured. When using it, medical staff need to place the discarded hose with the needle on the top of the opening and then cut off the needle end with scissors;

[0005] The second defect is that the needle with the hose needs to be separated with the help of scissors, which is very inconvenient to operate in practice; the third defect is that national standards stipulate that the amount of sharps boxes cannot exceed two-thirds of the total capacity, but the walls of existing sharps boxes are made of opaque materials, and medical staff cannot accurately judge the amount of sharps boxes to be used, so there is a risk of often overfilling sharps and needles; the fourth defect is that existing sharps boxes generally need to be placed on carts, which are very easy to overturn during operation or pushing, causing the stored sharps to spill out of the box, creating risks.

[0006] Based on the defects and risks in the use of existing sharps boxes, there are also many improvement schemes based on sharps boxes. After comprehensive analysis of these improvement schemes, there are still many shortcomings after solving some of the above-mentioned technical problems. For example, some have added shearing devices, but the structure and position of the shearing devices are not good in actual operation, and are not convenient for subsequent destruction; some have added funnel devices, but the design lacks a recycling design after storage is completed, so it is easy to cause secondary pollution during use.
