[0030] The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0031] Example 1
[0032] like Figure 1The sharps box shown in the figure includes a box body 1 and a box cover 2, the box body 1 is a rectangular parallelepiped structure, the box body 1 includes a first side and three second side faces 122, the top of the box body 1 is hinged with a "ㄩ"-shaped plate 10, the "ㄩ"-shaped plate 10 is provided with a "ㄩ"-shaped groove, and the box cover 2 passes through the "ㄩ"-shaped groove and hangs on the first side of the box body 1; an opening 14 is provided on the top of the box body 1, and the sharps enter the box body 1 through the opening 14, and the second side face 122 of the box body 1 is hinged with an anti-fall bracket 3, which supports the sharps box to prevent patients or doctors from falling. The safety personnel accidentally kick it over while walking; the anti-fall bracket 3 includes a first support plate 311 and a second support plate 322, one end of the first support plate 311 is hinged to the second side surface 122 through a rotating shaft, and the first support plate 311 rotates along the rotating shaft to form an angle of 45 degrees with the second side surface 122; one end of the first support plate 311 is hinged to the second side surface 122, and the other end is connected to the second support plate 322. The second support plate 322 can increase the contact area between the anti-fall bracket 3 and the ground, thereby achieving a better supporting effect.
[0033] The box cover 2 includes two cover plates 4, which are hinged by a connecting rod 5. The hinged design facilitates the bending of the cover plates 4. The two ends of the box cover 2 parallel to the connecting rod 5 are respectively provided with a first hanging rod 6 and a second hanging rod 7 of equal length. The cross-sections of the first hanging rod 6 and the second hanging rod 7 are both circular, and the diameter is greater than the thickness of the cover plate 4; the length of the "ㄩ"-shaped groove is greater than the side length of the cover plate parallel to the connecting rod 5 and is less than the length of the first hanging rod 6. This design prevents the box cover 2 from falling out of the "ㄩ"-shaped groove, and also plays a limiting role in the final fixation of the box cover 2. A locking piece 8 is provided on the side of the second hanging rod 7 away from the cover plate 4; a baffle 13 is provided at the opening 14, and a locking hole 9 corresponding to the locking piece 8 is provided on the inner side of the baffle 13. Through the coordinated use of the locking piece 8 and the locking hole 9, the purpose of preventing the box body 1 from being opened again after being closed is achieved, and the sharps box is prevented from falling out of the box body 1 after being filled to cause pollution.
[0034] The opening 14 is provided with a slide groove 11 for the box cover 2 to slide. The box cover 2 moves along the slide groove 11 in the horizontal direction. An elastic clip 12 is provided in the middle of the slide groove 11 to more effectively limit and fix the cover plate 4. Figure 3 As shown, when a half opening is required, the cover plate 4 covers part of the opening, and during the movement of the second hanging rod 7 along the slide groove 11 toward the lock hole 9, when passing through the elastic clip 12, the second hanging rod 7 squeezes the elastic clip 12 to cause elastic deformation and contraction. After the second hanging rod 7 passes through the elastic clip 12, the elastic clip 12 restores the elastic deformation, and the second hanging rod 7 is blocked in the direction close to the "ㄩ"-shaped plate, and can only continue to move in the direction close to the lock hole 9.
[0035] like Figure 2As shown, the locking member 8 includes a locking column 81 and an arrow-shaped clamping head 82. The front end of the locking column 81 is provided with an arrow-shaped clamping head 82 integrally formed with the locking column 81. The arrow-shaped clamping head 82 is provided with a plurality of notches. When the locking member 8 is inserted into the locking hole 9, the arrow-shaped clamping head 82 is deformed and contracted to be inserted into the locking hole 9. After being inserted into the locking hole 9, the arrow-shaped clamping head 82 recovers its deformation and is stuck in the locking hole 9 and cannot be pulled out. The design of the locking member 8 enables the locking member 8 to be easily inserted into the locking hole 9, thereby achieving the purpose of sealing the sharps box and preventing the box body 1 from being opened again after being closed. , which is also beneficial to prevent the sharps box from causing secondary pollution due to leakage during transportation; the bottom end surface 821 of the arrow-shaped clamp 82 is provided with double-sided tape. When the opening needs to be locked, first tear off the protective film of the double-sided tape and then insert it into the lock hole 9, so that the locking piece 8 is more firmly locked in the lock hole 9 and will not be pulled out. Three locking pieces 8 are provided on the side of the second hanging rod 7 away from the cover plate 4, and four notches are provided on the arrow-shaped clamp 82 of the locking piece 8 located in the middle part, and two notches are provided on the arrow-shaped clamp 82 of the locking piece 8 located at both ends.
[0036] Example 2
[0037] The angle is 55 degrees; other technical features are the same as those of Example 1.
[0038] Example 3
[0039] The method of using the sharps box described in Example 1 is as follows:
[0040] Lift the box cover 2 from the first side of the box body 1 to a horizontal setting, rotate the "ㄩ"-shaped plate from the first side of the box body 1 to the top of the box body 1, pull the second hanging rod 7 along the horizontal direction, cover the opening 14 with the cover plate 4, and the two cover plates 4 are horizontally displaced along the top of the box body 1 in turn to adjust the size of the sharp object entrance. When the sharp objects in the box body 1 have reached saturation, align the locking piece 8 on the second hanging rod 7 with the lock hole 9 and insert it to close the opening 14. The structural diagram when sealing is shown in the figure. Figure 4 As shown;
[0041] When the sharps box is overturned by external force, the first support plate 311 opens to form a 45-degree angle with the second side surface 122, and the end of the first support plate 311 facing away from the second side surface 122 contacts the ground to support the sharps box.
