[0025] It should be understood that the terms such as “having”, “including” and “comprising” used herein do not exclude the existence or addition of one or more other elements or combinations thereof.

[0026] like Figure 1-7 As shown, a medical sharps box of the present embodiment includes: a lower box body 1, an upper box body 2 detachably connected to the lower box body 1, an annular magnet 3 arranged at the bottom of the lower box body 1, an inner barrel 4 arranged in the lower box body 1, a conical cylinder 5 arranged in the upper box body 2 and the bottom of which is connected to the upper end of the inner barrel 4, a pair of scissors 6 arranged in the upper box body 2 and a fixing part 7 arranged on the side of the lower box body 1.

[0027] An opening 80 is provided on the upper cover plate 8 at the top of the upper box body 2, and a movable cover plate 9 movably connected to the upper box body 2 is provided on the opening 80. The movable cover plate 9 can slide on the opening 80 to facilitate opening and closing. When cutting a sharp object with scissors, the movable cover plate 9 is pushed to close the opening 80 to prevent the sharp object from splashing, thereby increasing the safety of the sharp object box.

[0028] In one embodiment, an opening 90 is provided on the movable cover plate 9. The opening 90 is used to separate the needle tip of the syringe, thereby improving the convenience of using the sharps box.

[0029] The scissors 6 are connected to the inner wall of the upper box body 2, with a cutting portion 60 at one end thereof being arranged inside the upper box body 2, and a handle portion 61 at the other end extending outside the upper box body 2. The scissors 6 are used to cut off used medical wastes such as syringe needles and infusion needles. When using the scissors, the medical wastes are put into the upper box body 2 through the opening 20, and then the handle portion 61 extending outside the upper box body 2 is held by hand to cut the medical wastes inside the upper box body 2. The hands are operated outside, while the cutting portion 60 of the scissors 6 is cutting inside the box, which can prevent sharp objects (such as needles) from splashing and injuring the user, and can also prevent the user from being stabbed or infected by medical wastes.

[0030] The conical tube 5 is connected from top to bottom, and its upper end is connected to the inner wall of the upper box body 2, and the diameter of the upper end is larger than the diameter of the lower end. The conical tube 5 is convenient for introducing the collected medical waste into the inner barrel 4 at the lower part.

[0031] An annular mounting plate 40 is provided on the outer wall of the lower part of the inner barrel 4 , and the bottom of the inner barrel 4 is inserted into the cavity in the middle of the annular magnet 3 , and the mounting plate 40 is used to be pressed against the surface of the annular magnet 3 .

[0032] The lower part of the inner barrel 4 is inserted into the middle of the annular magnet 3, and the annular mounting plate 40 of the lower outer wall of the inner barrel 4 is pressed against the surface of the annular magnet 3, which is convenient for firm installation. The annular magnet 3 can absorb blades, needles, etc. in medical waste to prevent them from splashing, which is convenient for the collection and treatment of medical waste.

[0033] The inner barrel 4 can be replaced, and the inner barrel 4 is made of iron or hard plastic, or a traditional sharps box. When the inner barrel 4 is full, the upper box body 2 is removed from the lower box body 1, and then the inner barrel 4 is removed, and the inner barrel 4 and the medical waste therein are transported out for treatment, and the medical waste in the inner barrel 4 is cleaned by special personnel or equipment. It is convenient to use and can avoid injuries to the cleaning personnel when cleaning the medical waste in the inner barrel 4. Then the replacement inner barrel 4 is inserted, and it can be used again after installation, so that the sharps box can be reused, saving costs.

[0034] Reference Figure 7 In one embodiment, the inner barrel 4 adopts a traditional sharps box. A traditional sharps box of suitable size can be directly placed in the lower box body 1. It is only necessary to reduce the bottom opening of the conical tube 5 so that it can be connected with the opening of the traditional sharps box; or the traditional sharps box can be slightly modified to enlarge its upper opening so as to be connected with the bottom opening of the conical tube 5, and a fixing groove 41 is added to the side of the traditional sharps box. By directly or simply modifying the traditional sharps box as the inner barrel 4 of the present invention, the old traditional sharps box can be used, which is convenient for reducing costs and promotion. In addition, the shortcomings of the traditional sharps box such as inconvenience in use and easy splashing of sharps can be solved.

[0035] In one embodiment, the upper box body 2 is threadably connected to the lower box body 1 to facilitate installation and disassembly.

[0036] The side wall of the lower box body 1 is provided with an insertion hole 11 that passes through the interior of the lower box body 1. The fixing member 7 includes a fixing column 70 that is inserted into the insertion hole 11, a pull plate 71 connected to the outer end of the fixing column 70, a spring 72 that is sleeved on the inner end of the fixing column 70, and a clamping block 73 that is arranged on the side wall of the fixing column 70. One end of the spring 72 is connected to the fixing column 70, and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the lower box body 1. The side wall of the inner barrel 4 is provided with a fixing groove 41 for the inner end of the fixing column 70 to be inserted into. The elastic force of the spring 72 pulls the fixing column 70 to move toward the side wall of the inner barrel 4, so that the inner end of the fixing column 70 is inserted into the fixing groove 41. The side wall of the lower box body 1 is provided with a clamping groove 12 at the side of the insertion hole 11 for the clamping block 73 to be inserted into.

[0037] The fixing member 7 is used to fix the inner barrel 4 so that it is firmly arranged in the lower box body 1. The fixing member 7 includes multiple (2 or 4 or preferably) fixing members 7 to fix the inner barrel 4 from multiple positions on the side. Specifically, when the medical waste in the inner barrel 4 is full and the inner barrel 4 needs to be replaced, the upper box body 2 is first removed from the lower box body 1, and then the pull plate 71 is pulled outward to move the fixing column 70 outward, and the inner end of the fixing column 70 is disengaged from the fixing groove 41 on the side wall of the inner barrel 4, and the block 73 on the side wall of the fixing column 70 moves outward from the slot 12 on the side wall of the lower box body 1 until the block 73 is completely disengaged from the slot 12, as shown in FIG. 3; then the pull plate 71 is rotated to make the block 73 deviate from the top of the slot 12, and then the pull plate 71 is released. Under the elastic force of the spring 72, the fixing column 70 tends to move to the original position (move into the insertion hole 11), and the block 73 is pressed on the side wall of the lower box body 1 on the side of the slot 12 to prevent the fixing column 70 from moving, so that the fixing column 70 remains relatively locked; then the lid of the inner barrel 4 is covered, and the inner barrel 4 is taken out of the cavity in the middle of the annular magnet 3. Next, the replaced empty inner barrel 4 is inserted into the cavity in the middle of the annular magnet 3, so that the mounting plate 40 is pressed against the surface of the annular magnet 3 to be installed in place, and then the pull plate 71 is pulled and rotated in the opposite direction to return the block 73 to the top of the slot 12; the pull plate 71 is released again, so that the fixing column 70 moves to the original position (towards the insertion hole 11) under the elastic force of the spring 72, the block 73 is inserted into the slot 12, and the inner end of the fixing column 70 is re-fitted and inserted into the fixing groove 41, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 , press the side wall of the inner barrel 4, so that the inner barrel 4 is fixed in the lower box body 1; finally, the upper box body 2 is installed on the lower box body 1.
