Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of trash cans, and in particular to a trash can for handling expired drugs. Background Art

[0002] Trash cans are widely used in our daily life. In daily life, some simple medicines are often left at home for emergencies. However, some medicines will be directly discarded into the trash can after passing the expiration date; in hospitals or other places where medicines are needed, some expired or broken medicines that cannot be used will also be directly discarded into the trash can. The existing Chinese utility model patent with the patent authorization publication number CN210504139U discloses a medical glass waste treatment bin, which mainly has the problem that the garbage classification of the medical waste treatment bin is not clear enough, and the garbage is all thrown into one bin, and it is easier for bacteria to breed when the garbage is piled up together. Moreover, some illegal vendors have set their sights on these randomly discarded expired drugs. After recycling, directly processing and repackaging, these expired drugs are resold. This will cause problems for unsuspecting consumers who buy these repackaged and marketed expired drugs. At best, it will cause economic losses, and if taken by mistake, it may even pose a life-threatening danger. Therefore, a trash can that can handle expired drugs is needed to solve this problem. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Aiming at the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a trash can for handling expired drugs, which effectively reduces the risk of expired drugs being directly recycled, processed, repackaged and sold by illegal vendors, and enables users to safely and reassuringly discard and handle expired drugs in hospitals, homes or other drug-using places.

[0004] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0005] A trash can for handling expired drugs includes a collection bin for collecting expired drugs. A control device is provided on the collection bin. An automatic treatment mechanism for puncturing the expired drugs put in is provided around the upper top of the collection bin, and the control device controls the operation of the automatic treatment mechanism.

[0006] Preferably, the automatic treatment mechanism is located at the upper part of the collection bin. Specifically, the automatic treatment mechanism is located at the upper opening position of the collection bin, so as to better handle the expired drugs put in.

[0007] Preferably, the automatic processing mechanism includes a mounting base, a driving component, a transmission component, a puncturing device, and a fixing device; the driving component, the transmission component, the puncturing device, and the fixing device for holding the expired drugs to be put are installed in the mounting base. The driving component is connected to the control device, the driving component is drivingly connected to the transmission component, and the puncturing device and the fixing device are arranged on the transmission component. In such an automatic processing mechanism, the driving component drives the transmission component to move, and the transmission component drives the puncturing device and the fixing device to move, so as to perform puncturing treatment on the expired drugs.

[0008] Preferably, a bucket cover is rotatably connected to the mounting base. The bucket cover is connected to a bucket cover driving component. The bucket cover driving component is installed in the mounting base, and the bucket cover driving component is connected to the control device. The opening and closing of the bucket cover can be realized through the bucket cover driving component.

[0009] Preferably, a bottom flip cover that can be turned over unidirectionally is arranged on the lower end surface of the mounting base. The bottom flip cover is connected to a bottom flip cover driving component, and the bottom flip cover driving component is connected to the control device. After the expired drugs are processed by the automatic processing mechanism, the bottom flip cover automatically opens, and then the expired drugs automatically fall into the collection bucket.

[0010] Preferably, an induction device is further included. The induction device is installed on the mounting base and is connected to the control device. When the induction device is used to sense that a human hand is approaching, the induction device transmits it to the control device, and the control device controls the start of the driving component, the bucket cover driving component, and the bottom flip cover driving component, so that the expired drugs can be thrown into the mounting base after the bucket cover is opened. At this time, the automatic processing mechanism punctures the put expired drugs, and then after the expired drugs are processed, when the bottom flip cover is opened, the processed expired drugs automatically fall into the collection bucket.

[0011] Preferably, it also includes an extrusion end position detection sensor and a reset position detection sensor; the extrusion end position detection sensor is installed on the middle part of one side of the mounting base, and the extrusion end position detection sensor and the transmission assembly are on the same side, and is used to detect whether the puncture device and the fixing device are retracted into place; the reset position detection sensor is installed on the side of the mounting base, and is used to detect whether the fixing device is reset into place after the puncture device and the fixing device are separated. This extrusion end position detection sensor is installed on one side of the transmission assembly and is located in the middle position, while the reset position detection sensor is located on one side of the transmission assembly near the end position, wherein the reset position detection sensor and the detection of the puncture device can be on the same side, and the reset position detection sensor and the drive assembly are on the opposite side of the mounting base. When the puncture device and the fixing device move towards each other at the same time, it is used to detect whether the puncture device and the fixing device are retracted into place. If they are retracted into place, it means that the expired medicine is being processed. At this time, the puncture device and the fixing device can move in opposite directions at the same time until the fixing device is reset into place. At this time, the puncture device and the fixing device are separated, and the next expired medicine can enter. This cycle is repeated to perform the operation of automatically processing expired medicines.

[0012] Preferably, the transmission assembly includes two opposing driving screws, each of which is mounted on opposite sides of the mounting base, and the driving screws are connected by a synchronous belt transmission, and the driving screws are provided with the puncture device and the fixing device that can move toward each other. The driving screw is a bidirectional screw, which is conducive to the puncture device and the fixing device moving toward each other at the same time during the movement, and can also move in the opposite direction at the same time, so as to achieve the puncture and printing of expired drugs, so as to achieve the purpose of preventing them from being recycled again.

[0013] Preferably, the puncture device includes a puncture pressure plate and a puncture panel, and a puncture arranged on the puncture pressure plate, the puncture is covered with a reset spring, and the puncture panel is located at the front end of the puncture. The puncture pressure plate runs along the driving screw toward the expired drug passing by until the puncture panel abuts against the expired drug passing by. At this time, the puncture panel retreats backwards under the pressure of the expired drug, compressing the reset spring, exposing the puncture in the puncture panel, and the puncture punctures the packaging of the expired drug, making it easy for people to know and preventing it from being recycled again.

[0014] Preferably, the fixing device includes a panel which moves along the driving lead screw towards the passing expired drugs until the panel abuts against the passing expired drugs. When the panel moves along the driving lead screw towards the passing expired drugs until the panel abuts against the passing expired drugs, it is beneficial for the puncturing device to puncture and damage the expired drugs, making it easy for people to know and preventing them from being recycled again.

[0015] Preferably, the panel is a stamp panel that can stamp the put expired drugs or their packages. The stamp can be words such as "destroyed", "expired", "scrap", "rejected", etc. Stamping on the expired drug package makes it easy for people to know and prevents them from being recycled again. When the panel moves along the driving lead screw towards the passing expired drugs until the panel abuts against the passing expired drugs, since the panel has a stamp with an imprint, it can mark the expired drugs, making it easy for people to know and preventing them from being recycled again.

[0016] Preferably, the control device is installed on the side of the collection bucket. Installing the control device inside the side of the collection bucket is beneficial to avoid damage to the control device being exposed outside and improves the service life of the equipment.

[0017] Preferably, a garbage disposal opening is formed in the middle of the installation base, and the installation base has two opposite first side edges and two opposite second side edges. For such a design of the installation base, a transmission component can be installed on the first side edge or the second side edge, and a driving component can be installed on the corresponding second side edge or the first side edge. The garbage disposal opening facilitates the entry and exit of expired drugs.

[0018] Preferably, the installation base is pivotally connected to the collection bucket. For the installation base being pivotally connected to the collection bucket, when it is necessary to centrally remove the expired drugs after processing, just open the installation base, which is convenient for people to operate.

[0019] Preferably, the driving component includes a motor and a reduction drive gear driven by the motor. Among them, the bucket cover driving component and the bottom flip driving component also have the same structure as the driving component, which is convenient to be controlled by the control device.

[0020] Preferably, the acupuncture needles are evenly distributed on the acupuncture needle pressing plate. The acupuncture needles can be arranged in an array on the acupuncture needle pressing plate. Such a structure is convenient for installation and production, and is also convenient for better puncturing and damaging expired drugs of different styles to avoid omission.

[0021] Preferably, the stamps are evenly distributed on the stamp panel. The stamps can be arranged in an array on the stamp panel. Such a structure is convenient for installation and production, and is also convenient for better printing on expired drugs of different styles to avoid omission.

[0022] Advantages of the present invention: An automatic processing mechanism for puncturing expired drugs is provided on the collection bucket of the present invention.

However, it should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention. In addition, in the following description, the descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted to avoid unnecessarily confusing the concepts of the present invention.

[0047] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a waste bin for treating expired drugs, which is suitable for drugs (the drugs are mainly tablets or capsules) in boxes or bottles made of materials with low hardness and strength such as plastics, papers, and tinfoils. It includes a collection bucket 1 for collecting expired drugs. A control device 2 is provided on the collection bucket 1. An automatic treatment mechanism 3 for puncturing the put-in expired drugs is provided on the collection bucket 1. Specifically, the automatic treatment mechanism 3 is located at the upper opening position of the collection bucket 1 (the automatic treatment mechanism 3 is arranged in a surrounding manner). The control device 2 controls the operation of the automatic treatment mechanism 3, so as to better treat the put-in expired drugs. The control device 2 will control the operation of the automatic treatment mechanism 3. When there are expired drugs in the automatic treatment mechanism 3, the control device 2 will control the operation of the automatic treatment mechanism 3, that is, the automatic treatment mechanism 3 will puncture and print the expired drugs, thus effectively reducing the risk of expired drugs being recycled.

[0048] In an optional embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the automatic treatment mechanism 3 includes an installation base 30, a driving component 31, a transmission component 32, a puncturing device 33, and a fixing device 34 that can resist the put-in expired drugs. The driving component 31, the transmission component 32, the puncturing device 33, and the fixing device 34 are installed in the installation base 30. The driving component 31 is connected to the control device 2. The driving component 31 is drivingly connected to the transmission component 32. The puncturing device 33 and the fixing device 34 are arranged on the transmission component 32. As Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, a barrel cover 35 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 30, and the barrel cover 35 is connected to a barrel cover driving assembly 36, which is installed in the mounting base 30 and connected to the control device 2. The structure of the automatic processing mechanism 3 is easy to install, and its operation is that the driving assembly 31 drives the transmission assembly 32, and the transmission assembly 32 drives the puncture device 33 and the fixing device 34 to move, thereby realizing the puncture treatment of expired drugs.

[0049] Among them, Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 12 As shown, a garbage inlet 302 is formed in the middle of the mounting base 30, and the mounting base 30 has two opposite first side edges 303 and two opposite second side edges 304. The mounting base 30 is mounted on the edge of the upper end surface of the collecting barrel 1, wherein the garbage inlet 302 can be used for the passage of expired medicines, wherein a transmission assembly 32, an extrusion end position detection sensor 38 and a reset position detection sensor 39 are mounted on the first side edge 303 or the second side edge 304, and correspondingly, a driving assembly 31 is mounted on the second side edge 304 or the first side edge 303.

[0050] Among them, Figure 5 As shown, the drive assembly 31 includes a motor and a reduction gear driven by the motor. The motor and the reduction gear in the drive assembly 31 drive the transmission assembly 32 to move, and the forward and reverse rotation of the motor can realize the movement of the transmission assembly 32 in different directions, which are all controlled by the control 2.

[0051] Among them, Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the transmission assembly 32 includes two opposite driving screws 321, each of which is mounted on the opposite side of the mounting base 30, and the driving screws 321 are connected by a synchronous belt 322, and the driving screws 321 are provided with a puncture device 33 and a fixing device 34 that can move in opposite directions. The driving screw 321 adopts a bidirectional screw. When the driving assembly 31 rotates forward, the driving assembly 31 will drive the driving screw 321 to rotate, and the puncture device 33 and the fixing device 34 between the two driving screws 321 will move in opposite directions, and the expired medicine can be punctured at this time; when the driving assembly 31 rotates reversely, the driving assembly 31 will drive the driving screw 321 to rotate, and the puncture device 33 and the fixing device 34 between the two driving screws 321 will move in opposite directions, and the expired medicine can be penetrated at this time.

[0052] Among them, Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the puncturing device 33 includes a needle pressing plate 331, a needle panel 332, and needles 333 disposed on the needle pressing plate 331. A return spring 334 is sleeved on the needles 333, and the needle panel 332 is located at the front end of the needles 333. When the needle pressing plate 331 moves along the driving lead screw 321 towards the passing expired drugs until the needle panel 332 abuts against the passing expired drugs, at this time, the needle panel 332 retracts backward under the pressure of the expired drugs, compressing the return spring 334, and the needles 333 are exposed in the needle panel 332, and the needles 333 puncture the packaging of the expired drugs. The needles 333 are evenly distributed on the needle pressing plate 331 and can be arranged in an array, which is beneficial to avoid missing the puncturing and destroying work on the expired drugs, facilitating people's awareness and preventing the purpose of recycling again.

[0053] In an alternative embodiment, as Figure 5 and Figure 9 shown, the fixing device 34 includes a panel 341. The panel 341 moves along the driving lead screw 321 towards the passing expired drugs until the panel 341 abuts against the passing expired drugs. When the panel 341 moves along the driving lead screw 321 towards the passing expired drugs until the panel 341 abuts against the passing expired drugs, it is beneficial for the puncturing device 33 to puncture and destroy the expired drugs, facilitating people's awareness and preventing the purpose of recycling again.

[0054] Among them, the panel 341 is a stamp panel that can stamp the put expired drugs or their packaging. The stamp can be a stamp with words such as "destroyed", "expired", "scrap", "rejected", etc. Stamping on the packaging of the expired drugs is convenient for people to know and prevent the purpose of recycling again. When the panel 341 moves along the driving lead screw 321 towards the passing expired drugs until the panel 341 abuts against the passing expired drugs, since the panel 341 has a stamped mark, it can mark the expired drugs, facilitating people's awareness and preventing the purpose of recycling again.

[0055] In an alternative embodiment, as Figure 10 shown, a bottom flip cover 301 that can be flipped unidirectionally is provided on the lower end surface of the mounting base 30. The bottom flip cover 301 is connected to a bottom flip cover driving component, and the bottom flip cover driving component is connected to the control device 2. After the expired drugs are processed by the automatic processing mechanism 3, the bottom flip cover 301 automatically opens, and the expired drugs automatically fall into the collection bucket 1. Among them, the bottom flip cover driving component can also be the same as the bucket cover driving component 36, which can reduce components.

[0056] In an alternative embodiment, as Figure 8 and Figure 11As shown, it further includes an induction device 37. The induction device 37 is installed on the installation base 30 and is connected to the control device 2. The induction device 37 is used to sense the approach of a human hand. The induction device 37 transmits the signal to the control device 2, and the control device 2 controls the drive assembly 31. The drive assembly 31 drives the transmission assembly 32 to work, and the transmission assembly 32 drives the puncture device 33 and the fixing device 34 to operate, so as to puncture the expired drugs thrown over. When there are a barrel cover drive assembly 36 and a bottom flip drive assembly, the induction device 37 transmits the signal to the control device 2, and the control device 2 will start the barrel cover drive assembly 36 and the bottom flip drive assembly, so as to realize the opening of the barrel cover 35 and the bottom flip cover 301, which is beneficial to the entry of expired drugs and the automatic fall of expired drugs into the collection barrel 1, greatly improving the degree of automation and intelligence without manual operation.

[0057] In an alternative embodiment, as Figure 12 shown, it further includes a pressing end position detection sensor 38 and a reset position detection sensor 39. The pressing end position detection sensor 38 and the reset position detection sensor 39 can be installed on the corresponding two side edges of the installation base 30 at the same time, or can be installed on a certain side position of the installation base 30. There are various types, providing a large choice for people. The pressing end position detection sensor 38 is installed in the middle of one side of the installation base 30. The pressing end position detection sensor 38 and the transmission assembly 32 are on the same side, and are used to detect whether the puncture device 33 and the fixing device 34 are in place when folded. The reset position detection sensor 39 is installed on the side edge of the installation base 30 and is used to detect whether the fixing device 34 is in place after the puncture device 33 and the fixing device 34 are separated.

[0058] When the present invention is in use, the expired drugs pass through the garbage inlet 302 of the installation base 30. When the expired drugs do not reach the garbage inlet 302, the puncture device 33 and the fixing device 34 are separated to the farthest distance, as Figure 15 shown; when the garbage bag reaches the set upper limit and needs to be packed, the drive assembly 31 starts to rotate forward. The motor in the drive assembly 31 rotates forward, and the drive assembly 31 further drives the drive screw 321 in the transmission assembly 32 to rotate forward. The drive screws 321 are connected and driven by a connecting timing belt 322 to rotate forward, so that the puncture device 33 and the fixing device 34 approach each other along with the movement of the drive screw 321, showing the state where the puncture device 33 and the fixing device 34 are folded; when the puncture device 33 and the fixing device 34 are folded to Figure 17When in the fully retracted state as shown, the expired drugs are pressed tightly between the puncturing device 33 and the fixing device 34. At this time, the extrusion end position detection sensor 38 is triggered. After the puncturing and printing of the expired drugs by the puncturing device 33 and the fixing device 34 are completed, the driving assembly 31 starts to reverse. The driving assembly 31 then drives the driving lead screw 321 in the transmission assembly 32 to rotate in the reverse direction, and the puncturing device 33 and the fixing device 34 separate simultaneously until they are fully reset. At this time, the reset position detection sensor 39 is triggered, and the operation of processing the expired drugs is completed.

[0059] In an alternative embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, the control device 2 is installed on the side of the collection bucket 1. For the control device 2 to be installed inside the side of the collection bucket 1, it is beneficial to avoid damage to the control device 2 being exposed outside, thereby increasing the service life of the device.

[0060] In an alternative embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, the mounting base 30 is pivotally connected to the collection bucket 1. For the mounting base 30 to be pivotally connected to the collection bucket 1, when it is necessary to centrally remove the expired drugs after processing, one only needs to open the mounting base, which is convenient for people to operate.

An induction device 37 is installed on the edge of the upper surface of the mounting base 30. A bottom flip cover 301 that can be flipped unidirectionally is provided on the lower end surface of the mounting base 30, and the bottom flip cover 301 is connected to a bottom flip cover driving assembly. The induction device 37 is used to sense the approach of a human hand. The induction device 37 transmits to the control device 2, and the control device 2 controls the bucket cover driving assembly 36 to start and open the bucket cover 35, allowing expired drugs to be thrown in.

[0063] Among them, as Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 14As shown, the driving assembly 31 includes a motor and a reduction transmission gear driven by the motor. The transmission assembly 32 includes two opposite driving screws 321, each of which is mounted on opposite sides of the mounting base 30, and the driving screws 321 are connected to each other by a synchronous belt 322, and the driving screws 321 are provided with a puncture device 33 and a fixing device 34 that can move toward each other. The puncture device 33 includes an acupuncture pressure plate 331 and an acupuncture panel 332, and an acupuncture 333 arranged on the acupuncture pressure plate 331, and a reset spring 334 is sleeved on the acupuncture 333, and the acupuncture panel 332 is located at the front end of the acupuncture 333. The fixing device 34 includes a panel 341, and the panel 341 moves along the driving screw 321 toward the expired drug passing by until the panel 341 abuts against the expired drug passing by, and the panel 341 is provided with a seal that can be stamped with an imprint of the expired drug. For the seal, which may be "destroyed" or "expired" or "obsolete" or "scrap", etc., the seal is stamped on the expired medicine packaging.

[0064] A garbage inlet 302 is formed in the middle of the mounting base 30. The mounting base 30 has two opposite first side edges 303 and two opposite second side edges 304. Two opposite driving screws 321 are installed on the two opposite first side edges 303 or the second side edges 304. An extrusion end position detection sensor 38 and a reset position detection sensor 39 are installed on one side of the two opposite first side edges 303 or the second side edges 304. The extrusion end position detection sensor 38 is installed on the middle part of one side of the first side edge 303 or the second side edge 304. The extrusion end position detection sensor 38 and the driving screw 321 are on the same side, and are used to detect whether the puncture device 33 and the fixing device 34 are retracted into place. The reset position detection sensor 39 is installed on the side of the first side edge 303 or the second side edge 304, and is used to detect whether the fixing device 34 is reset into place after the puncture device 33 and the fixing device 34 are separated.

[0065] The driving assembly 31 and the barrel cover driving assembly 36 are installed on two opposite second side edges 304 of the mounting base 30 or one side of the first side edge 303 .

[0066] In this embodiment, the driving assembly 31 , the barrel cover driving assembly 36 , the sensing device 37 , the bottom flip cover driving assembly, the extrusion end position detection sensor 38 and the reset position detection sensor 39 are all connected to the control device 2 .

[0067] like Figure 15 and Figure 16As shown, when the user needs to dispose of expired drugs, first, the user's hand approaches the collection bucket 1. At this time, the sensing device 37 on the automatic processing mechanism 3 senses the approach of the human hand, and the sensing device 37 transmits it to the control device 2. The control device 2 controls the lid driving assembly 36 to start and open the bucket lid 35 (rotate counterclockwise). At this time, the user can throw the expired drugs 4. As Figure 17 shown, the bucket lid 35 is closed (rotate clockwise), and the control device 2 controls the driving assembly 31 to rotate. The driving assembly 31 rotates the driving lead screw 321 in the transmission assembly 32 forward. The puncture device 33 moves leftward along with the driving lead screw 321, and at the same time, the fixing device 34 moves rightward. At this time, the expired drugs 4 can be punctured and damaged (pierce the packaging of the expired drugs) and stamped. As Figure 18 shown, when the puncture device 33 and the fixing device 34 simultaneously trigger the extrusion end position detection sensor 38, the extrusion end position detection sensor 38 sends a signal to the control device 2, and the control device 2 makes the driving assembly 31 reverse. At the same time, the puncture device 33 drives the needle panel 332 to reset under the action of the return spring 334, peeling the punctured expired drugs 4 from the needle pressing plate 331. At the same time, the fixing device 34 also returns. At this time, the control device 2 starts the bottom flip driving assembly, and the bottom flip driving assembly controls the bottom flip 301 to rotate clockwise. At this time, the processed expired drugs 4 automatically fall into the collection bucket 1. When the fixing device 34 returns and triggers the reset position detection sensor 39, the bottom flip 301 will rotate counterclockwise, so that the bottom flip 301 closes. As Figure 19 and Figure 20 shown, since the mounting base 30 is flip-connected to the collection bucket 1, that is, the mounting base 30 and the collection bucket 1 are connected by a rotating shaft. At this time, just flip open the mounting base 30 to take out the expired drugs 4 concentrated in the collection bucket 1, so as to carry out overall scrapping treatment.
