Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology, and specifically relates to a splash-proof sharps box. Background Technology

[0002] In a medical setting, sharps containers are primarily used to collect and dispose of sharps generated during medical procedures, such as needles, blades, and other sharp waste, in order to reduce the risk of injury to healthcare workers when using these items.

[0003] Currently, medical sharps containers are generally used in an open state. When medical staff throw medical sharps into the container, the sharps can easily splash outside the container, which can easily cause punctures and cross-infection, as well as pollute the surrounding environment and increase the workload of medical staff. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a splash-proof sharps box to solve the technical problem of low safety and easy splashing of medical sharps outside the sharps box in the prior art.

[0005] The technical solution adopted to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0006] This utility model discloses a splash-proof sharps box, comprising:

[0007] The box body is hollow and has an upward-facing collection cavity, which is used to collect sharp objects.

[0008] A cover body, which is connected to the box body to cover or expose the collection cavity;

[0009] Multiple baffles are provided and are staggered on opposite sides of the collection chamber in the vertical direction. The baffles are inclined downwards so that the side wall of the collection chamber and the baffles form a drop opening. The baffles and the drop openings they form are arranged in the horizontal direction.

[0010] The present invention offers at least the following advantages: The box has an upward-facing collection chamber, allowing medical personnel to dispose of sharp objects into it. When the chamber is more than three-quarters full, the lid can be closed to seal the container. Multiple baffles are staggered along opposite sides of the collection chamber, angled downwards, allowing the thrown sharp objects to roll down the baffles and onto another baffle until they reach the bottom of the chamber. The baffles guide the sharp objects downwards and cushion their impact, preventing them from splashing out and injuring medical personnel, thus avoiding cross-infection. Furthermore, the invention prevents sharp objects from contaminating the surrounding environment, reducing the cleanup workload for medical personnel.

[0011] Multiple baffles staggered on opposite sides of the collection chamber prevent thrown sharp objects from colliding directly with those inside, thus avoiding sharp object splashing. Furthermore, even if sharp objects that have rolled to the bottom of the collection chamber still splash, the baffles can block the splashing sharp objects, causing them to return to the bottom of the collection chamber, further preventing sharp object splashing.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the baffle is provided with two baffles, namely an upper baffle and a lower baffle. The side wall of the collection cavity forms a first drop opening with the upper baffle, and the first drop opening corresponds to the lower baffle. The side wall of the collection cavity forms a second drop opening with the lower baffle, and the second drop opening corresponds to the upper baffle.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the left and right length of the lower baffle is greater than the left and right length of the first drop opening.

[0014] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the upper surface of the box is provided with an identifier for marking the opening date.

[0015] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the marking element is thermal paper. The thermal paper has two strips, which are spaced apart in the left and right directions on the upper surface of the box. One strip of thermal paper has the numbers 1 to 12, and the other strip of thermal paper has the numbers 1 to 31.

[0016] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the box body also includes an upward-facing placement cavity, the placement cavity and the collection cavity being opposite each other. When the box body and the cover are opened relative to each other, the cover is retracted into the placement cavity.

[0017] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the collection chamber is provided with two sliding grooves along the left and right directions, and the two ends of the cover are respectively slidably connected to the two sliding grooves.

[0018] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the cover includes multiple plates arranged in a front-back direction, with two adjacent plates rotatably connected so that the slidably opened cover rotates into the placement cavity.

[0019] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the end of the cover away from the placement cavity is snapped together with the box body.

[0020] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a disassembly component is provided at the opening of the collection chamber, and the disassembly component is provided with a disassembly hole for disassembling the needle. Attached Figure Description

[0037] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The following are several embodiments of the splash-proof sharps box of this utility model.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the splash-proof sharps container 100 of this embodiment includes a container body 200, a cover 300, and a baffle. Specifically, the container body 200 is hollow and has a collection cavity 210. The collection cavity 210 is used to collect discarded medical sharps. The opening of the collection cavity 210 is set upward, so medical personnel can directly throw medical sharps into the opening of the collection cavity 210 to achieve sharps collection.

[0039] Understandably, the housing 200 and the lid 300 are connected when closed. When using the splash-proof sharps container 100, the lid 300 is opened to expose the collection chamber 210, facilitating the disposal of medical sharps by medical personnel. Figure 1 As shown. When the medical sharps in the splash-proof sharps container 100 reach three-quarters of the marked line, the medical staff close the cover 300 so that the cover 300 covers the opening of the collection chamber 210, and wait for the agency to collect them, to prevent the splash-proof sharps container 100 from being overfilled, which would cause the sharps to spill or puncture the container.

[0040] Understandably, multiple baffles are provided, staggered along the vertical direction on opposite sides of the collecting cavity 210. The baffles are inclined downwards, with one end connected to the side wall of the collecting cavity 210, and the other end forming a drop opening with the side wall of the collecting cavity 210. When a sharp object is thrown into the collecting cavity 210, the baffles can buffer the impact force of the thrown sharp object, and the sharp object rolls down along the inclined baffle, then rolls through the drop opening onto the adjacent baffle below, and then rolls down along the inclined baffle below until it reaches the bottom of the collecting cavity 210.

[0041] In this way, when medical staff throw sharp objects, they can avoid the sharp objects from colliding with the sharp objects in the collection chamber 210, which would cause the sharp objects to splash and injure the medical staff or contaminate the surrounding environment, thus protecting the safety of medical staff, avoiding the unnecessary work of cleaning up the splashed sharp objects, and reducing the burden on medical staff.

[0042] In this embodiment, multiple baffles are staggered on the left and right inner sides of the collection cavity 210, so the baffles and the drop opening they form are arranged in the left-right direction. The splash guard 100 has a cuboid structure, and the opening of the collection cavity 210 is also a square opening.

[0043] Understandably, the number of baffles can be determined based on the actual height of the splash guard 100.

[0044] In this embodiment, two baffles are provided, namely an upper baffle 410 and a lower baffle 420, with the upper baffle 410 located above the lower baffle 420, as shown below. Figures 1 to 3 As shown.

[0045] Understandably, the left end of the upper baffle 410 is connected to the left inner side of the collecting cavity 210, and the front and rear ends of the upper baffle 410 are respectively connected to a portion of the front inner side and a portion of the rear inner side of the collecting cavity 210, so that the right end of the upper baffle 410 and the side wall of the collecting cavity 210 form a first drop opening 411. The first drop opening 411 is located to the right of the upper baffle 410, such as... Figure 2 As shown.

[0046] Understandably, the right end of the lower baffle 420 is connected to the right inner side of the collecting cavity 210, and the front and rear ends of the lower baffle 420 are connected to a portion of the front inner side and a portion of the rear inner side of the collecting cavity 210, respectively, so that the left end of the lower baffle 420 and the side wall of the collecting cavity 210 form a second drop opening 421. The second drop opening 421 is located to the left of the lower baffle 420, such as... Figure 2 As shown.

[0047] It is understandable that the first drop opening 411 corresponds vertically to the lower baffle 420, and the upper baffle 410 corresponds vertically to the second drop opening 421.

[0048] Thus, when medical personnel throw a sharp object, if the sharp object lands on the upper baffle 410, it will roll along the upper baffle 410 and fall through the first drop opening 411 to the lower baffle 420, then roll along the lower baffle 420 and fall through the second drop opening 421 to the bottom of the collection chamber 210; if the sharp object falls directly through the first drop opening 411 to the lower baffle 420, it will roll directly along the lower baffle 420 and fall through the second drop opening 421 to the bottom of the collection chamber 210.

[0049] It is understandable that the left and right length of the lower baffle 420 is greater than the left and right length of the first drop opening 411, that is, the left and right length of the upper baffle 410 is greater than the left and right length of the second drop opening 421, such as... Figure 2 As shown. Therefore, when viewed from above and below, the upper baffle 410 and the lower baffle 420 completely cover the bottom of the collecting chamber 210, preventing the thrown sharp object from directly colliding with the sharp object inside the collecting chamber 210, preventing the sharp object from splashing, and also ensuring that the upper baffle 410 and the lower baffle 420 cushion the thrown sharp object, so that when the sharp object rolls to the bottom of the collecting chamber 210, the glass sharp object is less likely to break due to the collision.

[0050] Understandably, the upper surface of the box 200 is provided with a label 500, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the label 500 is used to mark the opening date, so that medical staff can seal the splash-proof sharps box 100 according to the opening date and wait for the recycling personnel to process it.

[0051] In some embodiments, the identification element 500 is a label, on which healthcare personnel write the opening date. The label can be placed on any corner of the upper surface of the box 200 for easy reference by healthcare personnel to write or view the opening date.

[0052] In this embodiment, the label 500 is thermal paper. There are two thermal papers, which are spaced apart in the left and right directions. One thermal paper is located at the left end of the upper surface of the box 200 and is arranged with numbers 1 to 12 representing the month of use in the front and back directions. The other thermal paper is located at the right end of the upper surface of the box 200 and is arranged with numbers 1 to 31 representing the day of use in the front and back directions.

[0053] Thus, when opening the container using the splash-proof sharps box 100, medical staff can directly use their fingernails or sharp objects to trace the corresponding numbers of the month and day of opening on two separate thermal paper sheets. This is quick and easy, eliminating the need for an ink pen. Medical staff can then directly determine the opening date by looking at the marks on the thermal paper.

[0054] Understandably, the openings of existing sharps containers are too small, making it difficult for medical staff to accurately throw sharps.

[0055] It is understood that the box body 200 also includes an upward-facing placement cavity 220, which is separated from the collection cavity 210. When the box body 200 and the lid 300 are opened relative to each other, the lid 300 is retracted into the placement cavity 220, as... Figure 3 As shown.

[0056] In this way, the placement cavity 220 utilizes the vertical height of the box body 200 to accommodate the cover 300, reducing the space occupied by the cover 300 when the box body 200 is opened, reducing the placement space required for the splash-proof sharps box 100, and making it easier for medical staff to place the splash-proof sharps box 100. Furthermore, the placement cavity 220 utilizes the side space of the box body 200 for storage, which can further increase the opening of the collection cavity 210, making it easier and more accurate for medical staff to throw sharps into the collection cavity 210.

[0057] In this embodiment, the collection cavity 210 and the placement cavity 220 are arranged in a front-to-back direction, with the collection cavity 210 located in front of the placement cavity 220.

[0058] It is understood that a slider 221 is embedded within the placement cavity 220. The slider 221 slides up and down along the placement cavity 220, and the slider 221 is connected to the cover 300, such as... Figure 3 As shown. When the splash guard 100 is in the closed state, the slider 221 moves up to the top of the placement cavity 220, covering the opening of the placement cavity 220 to prevent sharps from falling into the placement cavity 220 from the gap at the rear end of the cover 300.

[0059] In some embodiments, the cover 300 is a single plate with an area larger than the opening of the collection cavity 210, and the rear end of the cover 300 is rotatably connected to the slider 221 along the left-right axis. Therefore, when the splash guard 100 is opened, the horizontal cover 300 rotates upward relative to the slider 221 along the left-right axis to a vertical position, and then the cover 300 is inserted into the collection cavity 210 from top to bottom, thereby exposing the collection cavity 210 and storing the cover 300.

[0060] In this embodiment, the collection cavity 210 is provided with two sliding grooves 230 along the left and right directions. The sliding grooves 230 extend along the front and back directions. The left and right ends of the cover 300 are respectively slidably connected to the two sliding grooves 230, that is, the cover 300 and the box 200 are opened and closed by sliding.

[0061] It is understood that the cover 300 includes multiple plates 310 arranged in a front-to-back direction, with adjacent plates 310 rotatably connected and the axis of rotation extending in a left-to-right direction. Therefore, when opening the splash guard 100, the cover 300 is pushed open from front to back. At this time, the multiple plates 310 constituting the cover 300 gradually rotate into the placement cavity 220, thus revealing the collection cavity 210 and storing the cover 300. Figure 3 As shown.

[0062] Understandably, because two adjacent plates 310 are rotatably connected, the multiple plates 310 located in the placement cavity 220 can be rotated relative to each other and folded. When the splash-proof sharps container 100 is in the closed state, even if the front-to-back length of the cover 300 is greater than the vertical height of the placement cavity 220, the cover 300 can still be stored in the placement cavity 220 when the splash-proof sharps container 100 is rotated open, thereby maximizing the opening of the collection cavity 210 and facilitating the throwing of sharps by medical personnel.

[0063] Understandably, the upper front end of the cover 300 is equipped with a push-pull component 320 to facilitate medical personnel in opening and closing the cover 300 via the push-pull component 320. Figures 1 to 3 As shown.

[0064] Understandably, the end of the cover 300 furthest from the placement cavity 220 is snapped into the box body 200, meaning the front end of the cover 300 and the box body 200 are snapped together. Specifically, the upper front end of the cover 300 has a first snap-fit ​​component, and the upper front end of the box body 200 has a second snap-fit ​​component. When the cover 300 closes the opening of the collection cavity 210, the first and second snap-fit ​​components are connected and fixed, thereby keeping the splash-proof sharps box 100 in a stable closed state and preventing sharps from falling out of the collection cavity 210.

[0065] It is understandable that the first and second card connectors are for the cooperation of the card slot and the card block.

[0066] Understandably, the opening of the collection chamber 210 is equipped with a disassembly component 600, which has a disassembly hole 610 for removing the needle, allowing medical personnel to remove the needle from the syringe without contact, thus avoiding needle pricks. Figure 1 As shown.

[0067] In this embodiment, the disassembly hole 610 has two holes, one teardrop-shaped and the other a stepped square hole. Medical personnel can insert the needle into the disassembly hole 610 and then move the needle horizontally towards the smaller end of the disassembly hole 610 to disassemble the needle. Figure 1 As shown.

[0068] It is understandable that the disassembly part 600 and the first drop hole 411 are vertically aligned, so that the disassembly part 600 and the lower baffle 420 are vertically aligned, increasing the height of the disassembly part 600 below, and avoiding the lower height of the disassembly hole 610 being too small, which would cause the needle to interfere with the baffle during the disassembly process.

[0069] In some embodiments, the disassembly member 600 is located at the inner front end or inner rear end of the right end of the housing 200.

[0070] In this embodiment, the disassembly component 600 extends in the front-back direction and is located at the right end of the box body 200, and a plurality of disassembly holes 610 are spaced apart in the front-back direction.

[0071] Understandably, the splash guard 100 includes a handle 240 with a concealed design, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown. Specifically, the left and right walls of the box 200 are each provided with a chamber, and the handle 240 is embedded in the chamber and is rotatably connected to the box 200 along the front-back axis.

[0072] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
