Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical waste treatment technology, and in particular to a medical waste soaking device. Background Technology

[0002] In clinical medical testing, swabs (commonly 15cm and 10cm in size) and glass slides (including slides and coverslips) that have come into contact with specimens such as vaginal discharge, bodily fluids, blood, and bacteria need to be disinfected by soaking. In practice, existing soaking containers often result in swabs floating on the surface and slides overlapping, creating blind spots in disinfection and prolonging the soaking time.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, a search revealed Chinese patent application CN202122781054.4, which discloses a slide immersion and cleaning device for laboratory use. This device includes a cylinder, a holder, a drive unit, a drive shaft, a sealing ring, a mounting base, a tray, a partition, a drain outlet, a water inlet, and a cover. This patent solves the problem of insufficient slide immersion and incomplete cleaning and disinfection by utilizing the liquid within the cylinder to rinse the slide surface, resulting in a more thorough cleaning. However, the aforementioned patent has the following shortcomings: when immersing cotton swabs, the swabs may float on the surface of the liquid, and there is no function to monitor the concentration of the immersion solution, thus failing to guarantee the immersion effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a medical waste soaking device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A medical waste soaking device includes a cylinder, a cylinder cover snapped onto the top outer wall of the cylinder, an anti-slip ring fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the cylinder cover, and an annular sealing ring fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the cylinder cover.

[0007] The bottom inner wall of the cylinder is rotatably connected to a partition plate, and the two sides of the partition plate are respectively connected to a fixing component through a connecting structure. The fixing component includes multiple first positioning components and multiple second positioning components.

[0008] The bottom outer wall of the annular sealing ring is symmetrically provided with a set of grooves that are adapted to the partition plate.

[0009] A concentration monitoring component is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the cylinder cap.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the first positioning component includes a semi-circular storage plate B, a plurality of strip-shaped openings equidistantly arranged on the top surface of the storage plate B, a rubber strip fixedly connected to one side of the strip-shaped opening, and a plurality of protrusions equidistantly fixedly connected to one side of the rubber strip.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the second positioning component includes a plurality of arc-shaped channels arranged equidistantly on the top surface of the storage plate A, and a plurality of circular holes arranged on the top surface of the storage plate A, the same number as the arc-shaped channels;

[0012] Each of the circular holes is connected to one end of a plurality of arc-shaped channels.

[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the first positioning component and the second positioning component also include a semi-circular perforated plate, and the upper and lower corresponding sides of the perforated plate and the storage plate B, as well as the upper and lower corresponding sides of the perforated plate and the storage plate A, are respectively fixedly connected with support plates.

[0014] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the connection structure includes multiple sets of slots arranged vertically and equidistantly on both sides of the partition plate, and a card block fixedly connected to one side of the support plate and adapted to the slot.

[0015] As a further improvement of this utility model: a control panel is fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the cylinder, and the control panel includes a power supply, a timer and a PLC processor.

[0016] As a further improvement of this utility model, an audible and visual warning device is fixedly connected to one side of the control panel.

[0017] As a further improvement of this utility model, an identification plate is adhered to the outer circumference of the cylinder.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a medical waste soaking device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. This medical waste soaking apparatus, with its structure including a concentration monitoring component and a partition plate, allows for easy control during soaking. One hand holds the cylinder for fixation, while the other holds the anti-slip ring and rotates it, causing the entire cylinder cover to rotate. This rotation of the fixing component agitates the medical waste inside the cylinder, increasing its contact with the soaking solution. The concentration monitoring component ensures real-time monitoring of the soaking solution concentration, guaranteeing that the concentration always meets requirements and indirectly ensuring the soaking effect.

[0020] 2. This medical waste soaking apparatus, by means of a first positioning component, selectively places glass slides into a strip-shaped opening of corresponding length according to their size and shape. Rubber strips on both sides provide adaptive contact clamping and limiting of the glass slides on both sides, so as to prevent glass slides of different thicknesses from tipping over or colliding. The protruding strips in the interval section can separate two adjacent glass slides in the same strip-shaped opening to prevent them from contacting each other. It is suitable for limiting the position when soaking glass slides of different shapes, sizes and thicknesses, preventing the glass slides from overlapping or colliding, and ensuring the soaking effect of the glass slides.

[0021] 3. This medical waste soaking device, by setting a second positioning component, allows cotton swabs to be inserted into various round holes each time they are placed, according to the structure of the cotton swabs [thick at both ends / single end, thin in the middle]. Then, the swabs are pushed backward along the arc-shaped channel. The multiple arc-shaped channels arranged in front and behind are used to position cotton swabs of different lengths, preventing them from floating on the surface of the soaking solution and ensuring the soaking effect.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] A medical waste soaking device, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, it includes a cylinder 1 for soaking medical waste. A cylinder cover 2 is snapped onto the top outer wall of the cylinder 1. The top outer wall of the cylinder cover 2 has an opening for placing medical waste to be soaked into the cylinder 1 at any time. A cover 3 for sealing the opening is rotatably connected to one side inner wall of the cylinder cover 2 via a pivot.

[0032] Preferably, the cylinder 1 is made of a transparent material, such as glass, polyetherimide (PEI), or perfluoroalkoxy resin PFA, which facilitates observation and also has advantages such as corrosion resistance, acid resistance, and alkali resistance.

[0033] Preferably, the size of the cover 3 is greater than the size of the opening; during soaking, the cover 3 can also be pushed left and right to allow the opening to be exposed so that people can directly place the medical waste to be soaked into the fixed component inside the cylinder 1.

[0034] Preferably, an anti-slip ring 201 is welded to the top outer wall of the cylinder cover 2; during soaking, the cylinder body 1 can be fixed with one hand, and the anti-slip ring 201 can be held and rotated with the other hand, so that the entire cylinder cover 2 rotates, thereby driving the fixing components to rotate synchronously, thereby agitating the medical waste in the cylinder body 1 and improving its full contact with the soaking solution.

[0035] Preferably, a rubber annular sealing ring 202 is welded to the bottom outer wall of the cylinder cover 2, and the diameter of the annular sealing ring 202 is 0.05-0.2mm greater than the inner diameter of the top opening of the cylinder body 1. By designing the annular sealing ring 202 to be slightly larger than the top opening of the cylinder body 1, the sealing performance when the cylinder cover 2 and the cylinder body 1 are engaged can be guaranteed, and gas / liquid leakage can be avoided.

[0036] Furthermore, the bottom inner wall of the cylinder 1 is rotatably connected to a partition plate 9 with a concave structure that fits against the inner circumference of the cylinder 1. The two sides of the partition plate 9 are respectively connected to fixing components through a connecting structure. The fixing components include multiple first positioning components for fixing glass slides and multiple second positioning components for fixing cotton swabs.

[0037] The first positioning component includes a semi-circular storage plate B11, a plurality of strip-shaped openings 1101 equidistantly opened on the top surface of the storage plate B11, a rubber strip 1102 welded to one side of the strip-shaped openings 1101, and a plurality of protrusions 1103 equidistantly welded to one side of the rubber strips 1102.

[0038] Based on the size and shape of the glass slide, it is selectively placed into the corresponding length of the slot 1101. The rubber strips 1102 on both sides provide adaptive contact clamping and limiting for the glass slides on both sides, so as to prevent glass slides of different thicknesses from tipping over or colliding. The protruding strips 1103 in the interval can separate two adjacent glass slides in the same slot 1101 to prevent them from contacting each other.

[0039] Preferably, the lengths of the multiple slots 1101 are all different to accommodate glass slides of different sizes. The structural design of the first positioning component is suitable for positioning glass slides of different shapes, sizes and thicknesses during immersion, preventing the slides from overlapping or colliding, and ensuring the immersion effect of the slides.

[0040] The second positioning component includes multiple arc-shaped channels 1001 that are equidistantly opened on the top surface of the storage plate A10, and multiple circular holes 1002 that are opened on the top surface of the storage plate A10 and have the same number as the arc-shaped channels 1001.

[0041] Preferably, the plurality of circular holes 1002 are respectively connected to one end of the plurality of arc-shaped channels 1001;

[0042] Each time a cotton swab is placed, based on the structure of the cotton swab [thick at both ends / single end, thin in the middle], the cotton swab is inserted into each of the round holes 1002, and then stroked backward along the arc-shaped channel 1001. The multiple arc-shaped channels 1001 arranged in front and behind are used to position cotton swabs of different lengths, preventing them from floating on the surface of the soaking liquid and ensuring the soaking effect.

[0043] Preferably, the inner circumference of the multiple arc-shaped channels 1001 are different, so as to store different numbers of cotton swabs.

[0044] As a supplement, the first positioning component and the second positioning component also include a semi-circular perforated plate 13. The perforated plate 13 and the storage plate B11 have corresponding upper and lower sides, and the perforated plate 13 and the storage plate A10 have corresponding upper and lower sides, respectively fixed with support plates 12 by bolts. The perforated plate 13 is used to 'seal' the bottom of each layer of the first positioning component and the second positioning component, that is, to support the bottom of the glass slides and cotton swabs placed on each layer of the first positioning component and the second positioning component, which is convenient to use.

[0045] Preferably, the bottom outer wall of the annular sealing ring 202 has a set of symmetrical grooves 8 that are adapted to the partition plate 9. After placing the medical waste and filling it with soaking solution, the cap 2 is held so that the grooves 8 are aligned with the partition plate 9 and inserted into the top opening of the cylinder 1 until the two are tightly fitted, thus sealing the cylinder 1. During soaking, the cap 2 is manually rotated, which causes the partition plate 9 to rotate synchronously with its structure, thereby improving the soaking effect.

[0046] The connection structure includes multiple sets of oblique slots 1401 arranged vertically and equidistantly on both sides of the partition plate 9, and oblique blocks 14 welded to one side of the support plate 12 and adapted to the slots 1401.

[0047] Depending on the actual quantity of medical waste to be soaked, the first positioning component and the second positioning component can be selectively installed on both sides of the partition plate 9 as needed. Specifically, the storage plate A10 or storage plate B11 can be clamped with tweezers or other tools so that the card block 14 on it can be inserted into the card slot 1401 at the corresponding height position. The installation and removal are convenient.

[0048] Furthermore, a medical waste identification sign 5 is adhered to the outer circumference of the cylindrical body 1 to facilitate identification.

[0049] Working principle: Open the cap 2. Based on the actual quantity of medical waste to be soaked, selectively install the first and second positioning components on both sides of the partition plate 9 as needed. Specifically, use tweezers or other tools to hold the storage plate A10 or storage plate B11 so that the locking block 14 on it is inserted into the corresponding height slot 1401. After each layer of the first and second positioning components is installed, place medical waste such as glass slides or cotton swabs. Specifically, according to the size and shape of the glass slide, selectively place it in the corresponding length of the strip opening 1101. The rubber strips 1102 on both sides provide adaptive contact clamping and limiting for the glass slides. Insert cotton swabs into each round hole 1002 and then slide them backward along the arc-shaped channel 1001. The multiple arc-shaped channels 1001 arranged in front and behind are used to position cotton swabs of different lengths. The mesh plate 13 supports the bottom ends of the glass slides and cotton swabs placed on each layer of the first and second positioning components.

[0050] Then, pour in the soaking solution. Hold the cap 2 and align the groove 8 with the partition plate 9, then insert it into the top opening of the cylinder 1 until the two fit tightly together, sealing the cylinder 1. During soaking, hold the cylinder 1 in one hand to hold it in place, and hold the anti-slip ring 201 in the other hand and rotate it, causing the entire cap 2 to rotate. This will cause the fixing components to rotate synchronously, thereby agitating the medical waste inside the cylinder 1 and improving its contact with the soaking solution.

[0051] Example 2

[0052] A medical waste soaking device, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, in order to monitor the concentration of the soaking solution, this embodiment makes the following improvements based on embodiment 1: the outer circumference of the cylinder 1 is fixed with a control panel 4 by bolts. The control panel 4 includes a power supply, a timer, and a PLC processor. The timer and the PLC processor are electrically connected. People can preset the soaking time through the control panel 4. When the soaking time is reached, a signal is transmitted to the PLC processor so that it can control the sound and light alarm 6 to give people a reminder.

[0053] Furthermore, an audible and visual alarm 6 is fixed to one side of the control panel 4 by bolts;

[0054] The bottom outer wall of the cylinder cover 2 is fixed with a concentration monitoring component 7 that is connected to the control module via bolts. The concentration monitoring component 7 includes a residual chlorine sensor, a conductivity sensor, etc., which can monitor the concentration of alcohol, glutaraldehyde, chlorine-containing immersion disinfectant, etc. in real time. When the chlorine content exceeds the threshold or the conductivity is lower than the threshold (1.8% for glutaraldehyde), a signal is transmitted to the PLC processor so that it can control the audible and visual alarm 6 to alert people.

[0055] Working principle: During the soaking period, when the soaking time is reached or the concentration of the soaking solution is detected to be insufficient, the PLC processor that receives the relevant signal will control the audible and visual alarm 6 to issue a reminder to people.

[0056] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
