Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device auxiliary equipment technology, specifically to a clinical needle storage box. Background Technology
[0002] A sharps container is a specialized storage container with puncture resistance and leak-proof properties. Its core purpose is to safely collect and temporarily store used sharp medical instruments to prevent punctures and cuts, while also avoiding the risk of secondary contamination and cross-infection from medical waste. A needle storage sharps container is a medical or household storage container specifically designed for collecting and storing sharp needles and other sharp instruments, allowing them to be arranged in an orderly manner during storage.
[0003] Existing sharps containers lack a dedicated structural design for the orderly storage of needles. In actual use, various needles are placed into the container in a disorderly manner, which can easily lead to stacking, overlapping, and scattering. This disordered state means that the sharps container does not make the most of its space and can also cause the needle tips to be exposed, resulting in safety hazards for medical staff during the placement, transfer, and disposal process, and may result in staff being pricked.
[0004] Therefore, a clinical needle storage box is needed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a clinical needle storage box to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a clinical needle storage box, comprising a box body and an arrangement mechanism installed inside the box body, wherein the arrangement mechanism is used to sort the retrieved needles, and the sorted needles fall into the box body for storage. The arrangement mechanism slides laterally left and right along the inner wall of the box. The arrangement mechanism includes a needle-adding hopper, a portal frame, and a conveying plate. The portal frame is slidably connected to the inner wall of the needle-adding hopper through the axis of the needle-adding hopper. Two baffles extend downward from both sides of the lower opening of the needle-adding hopper, and the baffles extend into the interior of the box. The portal frame is located between the two baffles and can slide up and down. The inner wall of the portal frame is provided with a vertically sliding conveying plate. The bottom of the conveying plate is provided with ladders extending to both sides. The ladders and the baffles on both sides form two needle arrangement channels. The opening of the box is provided with a sealing mechanism, which is used to close the opening of the box and extends and retracts as the door frame slides.

The limiting block slides along the groove on the inner wall of the box frame.
[0008] Preferably, the outside of the needle-adding hopper is provided with a switching mechanism for controlling the up-and-down movement of the conveyor plate.
[0009] Preferably, the switching mechanism includes a fixed plate, which is disposed on both sides of the bottom of the needle hopper. Each fixed plate has a sliding rod on its front and rear sides, and a push plate that can slide along the sliding rod axis is disposed between two sliding rods on the same side. The outer surface of the slide bar is provided with a first spring, the inner side of the push plate is provided with a slide plate, the middle part of the slide plate is provided with an inclined groove, a slide column is slidably connected inside the inclined groove, the surface of the slide column is provided with a locking block, and the outer surface of the ladder is provided with a locking groove that matches the locking block.
[0010] Preferably, the sealing mechanism includes a slider, which is vertically slidably disposed on the baffle. The end of the slider is provided with a slide bar that slides along the inner wall of the box frame. The outer surface of the slide bar is provided with an elastic curtain. The end of the elastic curtain away from the slide bar is connected to an end strip, and the end strip is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one end of the box frame.
[0011] Preferably, there are two blocking mechanisms, which are respectively located on the outside of the two baffles.
[0012] Preferably, the assembly mechanism includes a locking part and an engaging part, which are respectively disposed on the outer surfaces of the box body and the box frame for interlocking connection; The locking part includes an inclined block, and two stop blocks are provided on both sides of the bottom of the inclined block, forming a locking groove between the two stop blocks; The engaging part includes a rod frame, a rotatable locking plate in the middle of the rod frame, and a hook at the lower end of the locking plate. The hook can be rotated into a locking groove to engage with the inclined block. The bottom of the frame is connected to a retaining strip to support the card plate.
[0013] Preferably, the card plate has a first magnetic strip on its upper inner wall and a second magnetic strip on the top of the rod that matches the position of the first magnetic strip. The first magnetic strip and the second magnetic strip are magnetically repulsive.
[0014] Preferably, positioning mechanisms are provided at all four corners of the outer wall of the box.
[0015] Preferably, the positioning mechanism includes a support plate, which is respectively located at the four corners of the outer surface of the box. The support plate is provided with an n-shaped air tube that extends through both ends. One end of the air tube is provided with a suction cup that communicates with the inside of the air tube. The suction cup extends to the bottom of the box. The other end of the trachea is provided with a J-shaped rod extending into the interior of the trachea. The end of the J-shaped rod is provided with a sealing ring that can slide inside the trachea. A second spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the J-shaped rod. The second spring, together with the sealing ring, is used to support the J-shaped rod. The J-shaped rod has a pressure block at the end away from the sealing ring, and the outer wall of the pressure block is connected to the outer wall of the box frame. The inner wall of the trachea is provided with a retaining ring, which is located above the sealing ring to limit the upward movement of the sealing ring.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: This invention uses an assembly mechanism to install the box frame and box body. After the needles are placed into the needle-adding hopper, the inclined design of the needle-adding hopper and the ladder strips, along with the weight of the needles themselves, achieves initial neat stacking. When it is necessary to transport the needles into the box, press the push plates on both sides, compress the first spring, and drive the sliding plate to move. Through the cooperation of the inclined groove and the sliding column, the locking block disengages from the ladder strip slot. Hold the conveyor plate and release the push plate. After the locking block resets, the ladder strip is sent into the box body. Lift the needle-adding hopper and the baffle, and the needles slide into the box along the inclined surface of the ladder strip to complete the orderly arrangement. After storage, pull up the conveyor plate to make the locking block engage with the new slot of the ladder strip, and the initial storage can be repeated. When there are many needles stacked in a single position in the box body, move the needle-adding hopper to drive the baffle and the gate frame to slide. Through the guidance of the limiting block, the needles are evenly stacked in different positions in the box, preventing the needles from collapsing and scattering. In this invention, when the needle-laying mechanism stores the needles, the box can be closed using elastic curtains to prevent it from being open. When the needle-adding hopper moves the baffle, the baffle moves the slider via a groove on its side wall. One elastic curtain is stretched, while the other is contracted, ensuring that the two elastic curtains remain closed to the box even when the needle-adding hopper and baffle are stacking needles at different positions inside the box. Because the grooves on the outer wall of the slider and the inner wall of the box frame are slidably designed, when the needle-adding hopper lifts the baffle upwards, it prevents the slider from following the baffle upwards and creating gaps between the elastic curtains and the box. This structure achieves a closed effect on the box, preventing accidental contact by operators during needle placement and avoiding needle scattering, and also preventing injuries to operators from scattered needles. In this invention, during the installation of the box frame, the rod fixed to its outer wall drives the hinged locking plate. The locking plate rotates by pressing against the inclined surface of the box body's inclined block, and after locking, it remains stable thanks to the repulsive force of the first and second magnetic strips. A stop bar supports the locking plate in its unlocked state, and the stop block restricts the sliding of the box frame. After the box is full, the box frame is removed and the box lid is replaced. The box lid is fixed and sealed to the box body using the same locking structure. Both the box frame and the box lid are equipped with two sets of the aforementioned locking components, enabling quick assembly and disassembly, facilitating needle storage and transportation, and preventing scattering. To prevent the needles from scattering due to the box's movement, this invention places the box on a table and presses the suction cups firmly against it. During box frame installation, the box frame lid pushes the J-shaped rod downwards, drawing air from the suction cups and air tubes through the sealing ring. This compresses the second spring to create negative pressure, which, combined with four positioning mechanisms, achieves stable suction. After filling, the box frame is removed. The J-shaped rod is no longer compressed, the second spring pushes the sealing ring to reset and inflate, releasing the negative pressure. The retaining ring limits the sealing ring's travel, facilitating box removal. The box lid has no pressure block, does not generate negative pressure after installation, and does not affect box movement. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0033] To provide a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives, and effects of the present invention, specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example 1
[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a clinical needle storage box, a box body 11 and a sorting mechanism 1 installed inside the box body 11. The sorting mechanism 1 slides horizontally along the inner wall of the box body 11 to sort the collected needles 5. The sorted needles 5 fall into the box body 11 for storage. The opening of the box body 11 is provided with a detachable box cover 38. The arrangement mechanism 1 includes a needle-filling hopper 15, a portal frame 13, and a conveyor plate 17. The two sides of the needle-filling hopper 15 are inwardly sloping surfaces, used to guide the needles 5 to converge towards the opening of the needle-filling hopper 15 under the action of gravity. The portal frame 13 passes through the axis of the needle-filling hopper 15 and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the needle-filling hopper 15. In use, the horizontal movement of the portal frame 13 can drive the needle-filling hopper 15 to slide horizontally along the box body 11, so that the needles 5 placed in the needle-filling hopper 15 can be laid flat inside the box body 11, avoiding the accumulation of needles 5. Two baffles 16 extend downward from the lower opening of the needle-filling hopper 15, respectively. The baffles 16 extend into the interior of the box body 11, and the portal frame 13 is located between the two baffles 16 and can slide up and down to limit the falling needles 5, preventing the needles 5 from scattering during the falling process and improving the orderly storage of the needles 5. The inner wall of the portal frame 13 is provided with a vertically sliding conveyor plate 17. The conveyor plate 17 is located at the axis of the needle feeding hopper 15, thereby dividing the feeding port of the needle feeding hopper 15 into two symmetrical parts to limit the movement space of the needles 5 and improve the stability of the needle arrangement. The bottom of the conveyor plate 17 is provided with a ladder 18 extending to both sides. The ladder 18 and the baffles on both sides form two needle arrangement channels, which are used to change the conveying direction of the needles 5, so that the needles 5 can move to both sides and be evenly laid on the inner bottom of the box 11.
[0035] The opening of the box 11 is provided with a sealing mechanism 2. The sealing mechanism 2 extends and retracts with the sliding of the door frame 13 to close the opening of the box 11, so as to avoid the needles 5 being directly exposed and causing the risk of puncture, and to prevent the operator from accidentally touching the needles 5 arranged inside the box 11 and causing the needles 5 to become disordered. Example 2
[0036] Reference Figures 3-8 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, this embodiment is further optimized based on the above embodiment, as follows: The box body 11 has a detachable frame 12 at its opening. A door frame 13 and a arranging mechanism 1 are mounted on the frame 12. After the needles 5 are stored in the box body 11, the door frame 13 and the arranging mechanism 1 can be separated from the box body 11 by disassembling the frame 12. The box body 11 is then sealed with a lid 38 for easy storage and subsequent processing and sterilization of the needles. An assembly mechanism 3 is provided at the connection between the frame 12 and the box body 11 to lock the connection and ensure its stability.
[0037] The outer surface of the gate frame 13 is provided with a limiting block 14, and the inner wall of the box frame 12 is provided with a groove that matches the limiting block 14. The limiting block 14 extends into the inside of the groove and slides along the groove of the inner wall of the box frame 12, thereby changing the position of the arrangement mechanism 1 during the process of storing the needles 5, so that the needles 5 can be laid out evenly.
[0038] The outside of the needle-adding hopper 15 is provided with a switching mechanism for controlling the up-and-down movement of the conveyor plate 17. The switching mechanism includes a fixed plate 19, which is located on both sides of the bottom of the needle-adding hopper 15. Each fixed plate 19 has a slide rod 110 fixedly connected to its front and rear sides. A push plate 111 that slides along the axial direction of the slide rod 110 is provided between two slide rods 110 on the same side. A first spring 112 is sleeved on the outer surface of the slide rod 110 to apply outward elastic pressure to the push plate 111. A slide plate 113 is provided on the inner side of the push plate 111 near the fixed plate 19. A slanted groove is opened in the middle of the end of the slide plate 113 away from the push plate 111, and a slide column 114 is slidably connected inside the slanted groove. A locking block 115 is provided on the surface of the slide column 114. The locking block 115 passes through the baffle 16 and extends into the locking groove on the outer surface of the ladder 18 for locking.
[0039] Among them, the baffle 16 is horizontally slidably disposed inside the box body 11, and the ladder 18 is vertically slidably disposed between the two baffles 16.
[0040] During moxibustion, the discarded needles 5 generated during moxibustion need to be collected centrally for safety and hygiene. Existing collection methods mostly involve placing them directly in a box. However, randomly placed needles 5 are prone to stacking, interlacing, and scattering. This disordered state of the needles 5 can cause the needle tips to be exposed, making medical staff susceptible to sharp instrument injuries during the placement, transportation, and disposal of the needles. At the same time, the interlaced stacking of needles 5 results in low space utilization of the box 11.
[0041] To ensure the needles 5 are neatly and orderly stored, the box frame 12 is installed on the box body 11 via the assembly mechanism 3. During moxibustion, the needles 5 can be directly discarded into the needle collection hopper 15. Since the inner wall of the needle collection hopper 15 and the outer wall of the ladder 18 are both sloped, and with the weight of the needles 5 themselves, the needles 5 can be guided and neatly stacked inside the needle collection hopper 15. When a large number of needles 5 have accumulated, the ladder 18 needs to be conveyed into the box body 11. At this time, pressing the two push plates 111 causes them to move in opposite directions. The push plates 111 slide on the outer wall of the slide rod 110 and compress the first spring 112 sleeved on the outer wall of the slide rod 110. At this time, the push plates 111 drive the slide plate 113, which is fixedly installed near the first spring 112, to move accordingly. Since the slide plate 113 has an inclined groove, and the inside of the inclined groove slides against the outer wall of the slide column 114, the moving slide plate 113 can squeeze the slide column 114 under its restriction, causing the locking block 115 to no longer engage with the locking groove on the outer wall of the ladder strip 18. The operator holds the conveyor plate 17 and releases the push plates. 111. Under the elastic action of the first spring 112, the push plate 111 can be reset and pushed, causing the locking block 115 to slide inward toward the baffle 16. The operator holds the feed plate 17 and feeds the ladder 18 into the box 11. When the bottom surface of the ladder 18 contacts the bottom surface of the box 11, the needle hopper 15 and the baffle 16 are lifted upward, causing the inner wall of the needle hopper 15 to slide against the outer wall of the portal frame 13. At this time, the two baffles 16 no longer block the needles 5 piled on the top surface of the ladder 18. Under the action of the two inclined surfaces of the ladder 18, the needles 5 slide into the box 11, thus arranging the needles 5 in an orderly manner. This structure, under the action of the inclined surfaces of the inner wall of the needle hopper 15 and the outer wall of the ladder 18, and in conjunction with the two baffles 16, can stably stack the needles 5 into the box 11, while ensuring that the needles 5 are orderly and neat. After the needles 5 are arranged, pull the feed plate 17 upward, causing the inclined surface of the outer wall of the ladder 18 to contact and press against the inclined surface of the locking block 115. This causes the locking block 115 to pull the slide plate 113 through the slide column 114, making the push plate 111 slide on the outer wall of the slide rod 110 and compress the first spring 112. When the locking block 115 is aligned with the slot opened on the outer wall of the ladder 18, the locking block 115 is no longer compressed. Under the elastic action of the first spring 112, the locking block 115 can be reset and engaged with the ladder 18, so that the needles 5 can be initially stored again. When a large number of needles 5 are stacked in one location inside the box 11, and it is necessary to stack them in other locations, the needle-adding hopper 15 is moved. This causes the baffle 16 to move as well, prompting the inner wall of the needle-adding hopper 15 to push the portal frame 13 to slide inside the box frame 12. The limiting block 14, which is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the portal frame 13, slides in the groove opened in the inner wall of the box frame 12, so as to stack the needles 5 in different locations inside the box 11. This structure can evenly distribute the needles 5 inside the box 11, avoiding stacking the needles 5 in the same location inside the box 11, which would cause the needles 5 to collapse and scatter. Example 3
[0042] Reference Figure 9 and Figure 10 This is the third embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, this embodiment is further optimized based on the above embodiments, as detailed below: The sealing mechanism 2 includes a slider 21, which is vertically slidably mounted on the baffle 16. The end of the slider 21 is provided with a slide bar 22 that slides along the inner wall of the box frame 12. The outer surface of the slide bar 22 is provided with an elastic curtain 23. The end bar 24 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one end of the box frame 12.
[0043] There are two sealing mechanisms 2, which are respectively located on the outside of the two baffles 16 and symmetrically distributed around the center line of the top surface of the box frame 12. Thus, under the restriction of the two elastic curtains 23, the box body 11 can be closed to store the needles 5. The elastic curtains 23 made of elastic material can be adjusted to close the box body 11 according to the movement of the needle hopper 15 and the baffles 16, so as to avoid gaps when the elastic curtains 23 and the box body 11 are closed.
[0044] During use, when the needle-adding hopper 15 moves the baffle 16, the baffle 16 moves the slider 21 via a groove on its side wall. One of the two elastic curtains 23 is stretched, while the other is contracted, ensuring that the two elastic curtains 23 remain closed to the box 11 when needles 5 are stacked at different locations inside the box 11 by the needle-adding hopper 15 and the baffle 16. Because the sliding strip 22 slides along the groove on the outer wall of the slide bar 22 and the inner wall of the box frame 12, when the needle-adding hopper 15 lifts the baffle 16 upwards, it prevents the slide bar 22 from following the baffle 16 upwards, thus avoiding gaps between the elastic curtain 23 and the box 11. This structure achieves a closed effect on the box 11, preventing accidental contact by the operator during needle placement and avoiding injury to the operator from scattered needles 5. Example 4
[0045] Reference Figures 11-13 This is the fourth embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, this embodiment is further optimized based on the above embodiments, as detailed below: Assembly mechanism 3 includes a locking part and an engaging part. The locking part and the engaging part are respectively provided on the outer surfaces of the box body 11 and the box frame 12 for mutual engagement and connection, thereby achieving a stable connection between the box body 11 and the box frame 12. In order to further improve the stability of the connection between the box body 11 and the box frame 12, two assembly mechanisms 3 are provided, which are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the device. The locking part includes an inclined block 31, and two stop blocks 32 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the inclined block 31, forming a locking groove between the two stop blocks 32.
[0046] The engaging part includes a rod frame 33, a rotatable locking plate 34 in the middle of the rod frame 33, and a hook at the lower end of the locking plate 34. The hook can be rotated into the locking groove to engage with the inclined block 31 to achieve the locking function. A stop bar 35 is connected to the bottom of the rod frame 33 to support the locking plate 34.
[0047] The upper inner wall of the card plate 34 is provided with a first magnetic strip 36, and the upper part of the rod 33 is provided with a second magnetic strip 37 that matches the position of the first magnetic strip 36. The first magnetic strip 36 and the second magnetic strip 37 are magnetically repulsive.
[0048] The card plate 34 is inclined at the end away from the first magnetic strip 36 to form a hook structure. The card plate 34 is engaged with the inclined block 31. Under its action, the box frame 12 and the box body 11 can be installed as one unit.
[0049] When storing the needle 5, the box frame 12 and the box body 11 need to be installed. Since the rod frame 33 is fixedly installed to the outer wall of the box frame 12, the hook structure formed by the inclined surface of the end of the clamping plate 34 hinged to the inner side of the rod frame 33 contacts and presses against the inclined surface of the inclined block 31, causing the clamping plate 34 to rotate around the hinge point with the rod frame 33 as the rotation center. When the clamping plate 34 enters the locking groove of the inclined block 31, the clamping plate 34 and the inclined block 31 are engaged. At this time, under the magnetic repulsion between the first magnetic strip 36 and the second magnetic strip 37 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the box frame 12, the clamping plate 34 and the inclined block 31 are stably engaged. Under the restriction of the stop bar 35, when the clamping plate 34 is no longer engaged with the inclined block 31, the stop bar 35 can support the clamping plate 34. Under the restriction of the two stops 32, the box frame 12 can be prevented from sliding on the top surface of the box body 11, so as to ensure the stable installation of the box frame 12 and the box body 11. After the box 11 is filled with needles 5, the lid 38 needs to be installed on the top surface of the box 11. Under the constraint of the rod 33, clamping plate 34, stop bar 35, first magnetic strip 36 and second magnetic strip 37 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the lid 38, it can engage with the inclined block 31 and stop block 32 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the box 11, so that the box 11 filled with needles 5 can be closed by the lid 38. Since the outer walls of the box frame 12 and the lid 38 are respectively fixedly installed with two sets of rods 33, clamping plate 34, stop bar 35, first magnetic strip 36 and second magnetic strip 37, when storing needles 5 inside the box 11, the box frame 12 is installed on the box 11. When the box 11 is filled with needles 5, the box frame 12 is removed and then the lid 38 is installed on the box 11, which can prevent the needles 5 from scattering during transportation. This structure allows for quick assembly and disassembly of the box frame 12 and box cover 38 from the box body 11, so as to store discarded needles 5. Example 5
[0050] Reference Figure 14 and Figure 15 This is the fifth embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, this embodiment is further optimized based on the above embodiments, as detailed below: The outer wall of the box body 11 is provided with a positioning mechanism 4 for supporting and fixing the box body 11. The positioning mechanism 4 includes a support plate 41, which is respectively located at the four corners of the outer surface of the box body 11. One end of the air tube 42 is provided with a suction cup 43 that communicates with the inside of the air tube 42 and extends to the bottom of the box body 11. The other end of the air tube 42 is provided with a J-shaped rod 44 that extends into the inside of the air tube 42. The end of the J-shaped rod 44 is provided with a sealing ring 45 that can slide inside the air tube 42. A second spring 46 is sleeved on the outer wall of the J-shaped rod 44. The second spring 46 cooperates with the sealing ring 45 to support the J-shaped rod 44. A pressure block 48 is provided at the end of the J-shaped rod 44 away from the sealing ring 45. The outer wall of the pressure block 48 is connected to the outer wall of the box frame 12. The pressure block 48 is used to press the J-shaped rod 44.
[0051] The inner wall of the trachea 42 is provided with a retaining ring 47, which is located above the sealing ring 45 to restrict the upward movement of the sealing ring 45.
[0052] When the box 11 stores the needles 5, to prevent accidental contact by the operator that could cause the box 11 to shake and scatter the needles 5 inside, the box 11 needs to be attached to the work surface. Place the box 11 on the work surface and press the suction cup 43 to make it adhere tightly to the work surface. At this time, the box frame 12 is installed to the box 11 through the assembly mechanism 3. The box cover 38 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the box frame 12 pushes the J-shaped rod 44, causing the J-shaped rod 44 to slide downward. Due to the sealing ring 45 and the air tube 42 sealing and sliding, under its restriction, the J-shaped rod 44 draws air from the air tube 42 and the suction cup 43 through the sealing ring 45. The sealing ring 45 compresses the second spring 46 sleeved on the outer wall of the J-shaped rod 44. At this time, a negative pressure is formed inside the suction cup 43 and the air tube 42, which can then attach the box 11 to the work surface. The four sets of positioning mechanisms 4 can stably place the box 11 on the work surface so that the needles 5 can be stored in an orderly manner. After the box 11 is filled with needles 5, the box frame 12 is detached from the box 11. At this time, the box cover 38 no longer presses against the J-shaped rod 44. Under the elastic action of the second spring 46, the sealing ring 45 can be pushed. Under the restriction of the retaining ring 47, the sliding stroke of the sealing ring 45 can be limited. The sliding sealing ring 45 can inflate the air tube 42 and the suction cup 43, thereby releasing the negative pressure so that the box 11 can be removed from the table. This structure can achieve negative pressure adsorption between the box frame 12 and the box 11 in the arrangement mechanism 1 while installing them. Since the outer wall of the box cover 38 is not fixedly installed with the pressure block 48, when the box cover 38 is installed with the box 11, it will not cause the suction cup 43 to be in a negative pressure state, so that the box 11 can be removed from the table.
