Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical equipment, and particularly to a waste treatment device and method for thoracic care. Background Art

[0002] Thoracic department generally refers to thoracic surgery, which is a medical specialty that specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of organs within the thoracic cavity, mainly referring to the esophagus, lungs, and mediastinal lesions. The field of breast surgery is also classified into this specialty, with pulmonary surgery and esophageal surgery being the main focuses. A large amount of waste, also known as medical waste, is generated during thoracic care. Medical waste refers to contaminated waste produced by hospitals that has come into contact with patients' blood, body, etc., such as used cotton balls, gauze, adhesive tapes, waste water, disposable medical devices, surgical waste, expired drugs, and so on.

[0003] Existing treatment methods generally involve directly discarding the waste without treatment into the trash cans in the ward. However, the waste generally exists in the form of a solid-liquid mixture, which causes inconvenience for waste recycling. At the same time, this also easily breeds a large number of bacteria, increasing the infection rate of the population. And during subsequent incineration, the coexistence of solid and liquid will lead to the generation of a large amount of thick smoke during incineration, affecting the environment. At the same time, the storage space of the trash can is fixed. When the waste is discarded into the trash can, there is often a certain degree of fluffiness and gaps, which results in the inability of a trash can to store a lot of waste. It is necessary for nursing staff to frequently empty it, undoubtedly increasing the workload of the nursing staff and their fatigue level. Summary of the Invention

Detailed implementation mode

[0033] Embodiment 1:

[0034] Refer to the attached Figures 1-6 A waste treatment device for thoracic care of the present invention will be described in detail below.

[0035] This embodiment provides a waste treatment device for thoracic care, including a containing barrel, a support frame, a liquid storage component, and a filtering component. The containing barrel is arranged above the support frame; the liquid storage component is connected to the lower part of the containing barrel and the two are directly installed with the filtering component. A barrel cover 8 is installed on the top of the containing barrel, and the two are rotatably connected; the barrel cover 8 is installed with a compression mechanism.

[0036] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, the containing barrel includes a first barrel body 1 and a second barrel body 2. The second barrel body 2 is sleeved inside the first barrel body 1, and the medical waste is poured by taking out the second barrel body 2 from the first barrel body 1. In order to enable the second barrel body 2 to be stably placed inside the first barrel body 1, a limiting block 16 is arranged on the outer side of the top of the second barrel body 2, and a limiting groove 17 adapted to the limiting block 16 is opened on the inner side of the top of the first barrel body 1.

[0037] In this embodiment, both the first barrel body 1 and the second barrel body 2 are cylindrical structures, and the outer wall of the second barrel body 2 fits against the inner wall of the first barrel body 1. Openings 7 are provided at the bottoms of the first barrel body 1 and the second barrel body 2, and a filtering component is installed through the openings 7; the liquid storage component is communicated with the openings 7.

[0038] Furthermore, a weighing sensor 36 is arranged between the first barrel body 1 and the second barrel body 2, and the weighing sensor 36 is fixed to the inner wall of the first barrel body 1; as Figure 7 shown, the weighing sensor 36 is connected to a controller, and the controller is connected to an alarm. When the weight of the waste contained in the second barrel body 2 reaches the set value, the controller controls the alarm to send an alarm signal, so as to notify the medical staff to empty the garbage in time.

[0039] A fixing frame 28 is installed on the outer side of the first barrel body 1. A pair of pliers 27 is arranged inside the fixing frame 28. As an auxiliary tool, the pair of pliers 27 can be used to clamp out the medical waste adhered to the inside of the second barrel body 2. The fixing frame 28 can be of any shape as long as it can fix the pair of pliers 27; the pair of pliers 27 and the fixing frame 28 can be snap-connected or hung.

[0040] Furthermore, as Figure 4 shown, the filtering component includes a filtering frame 5 and a filtering net 6. The filtering net 6 is installed inside the filtering frame 5; the shape of the filtering frame 5 is adapted to the opening 7. In this embodiment, the filtering frame 5 is of an annular structure, and its outer wall is provided with threads. The filtering frame 5 is threadedly connected to the opening 7.

[0041] In this embodiment, one end of the barrel cover 8 is hinged to the first barrel body 1, and the other end is detachably connected. As Figure 1 shown, one end of the barrel cover 8 is connected to a connecting block 20, and a connecting seat 21 is installed on the outer wall of the first barrel body 1. The connecting block 20 and the connecting seat 21 are connected by a pin shaft.

[0042] The other end of the barrel cover 8 is connected to a second clamping block 30, and a first clamping block 29 is connected to the outer wall of the first barrel body 1. The first clamping block 29 and the second clamping block 30 are connected by a screw 31; the barrel cover 8 and the first barrel body 1 are limited by the first clamping block 29, the second clamping block 30 and the screw 31. For the convenience of opening the barrel cover 8, the screw 31 can also be replaced by a buckle.

[0043] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the barrel cover 8 is connected to a compression mechanism through a fixing block 9. A sliding groove 10 is formed inside the fixing block 9, and a through groove 11 communicating with the sliding groove 10 is formed inside the barrel cover 8. The compression mechanism is slidably connected to the inner side of the sliding groove 10.

[0044] Furthermore, the compression mechanism includes a pull handle 24, a guide block 22, a lifting assembly 14 and a pressing plate 12. Sliding blocks 13 are symmetrically arranged along the length direction inside the sliding groove 10, and guide blocks 22 are connected to both sides of the sliding blocks 13. The top of the sliding block 13 is connected to the pull handle 24, and the pull handle 24 extends from the top of the sliding groove 10 to the outside thereof. The lifting assembly 14 can be controlled by pushing and pulling the pull handle 24. The pull handle 24 can be of an annular, rectangular frame structure or other structures.

[0045] Guide grooves 23 are symmetrically formed in the inner walls on both sides in the width direction of the sliding groove 10, and the guide grooves 23 are slidably connected to the guide blocks 22. The friction when the sliding block 13 moves is reduced and the sliding block 13 is limited by the guide blocks 22 and the guide grooves 23. A pressing plate 12 is arranged inside the through groove 11, and a lifting assembly 14 is hinged between the pressing plate 12 and the sliding block 13 by a hinge; the lifting assembly 14 is a conventional structure and will not be elaborated here.

[0046] In this embodiment, the shape of the pressing plate 12 is adapted to the inner wall shape of the second barrel body 2, and its cross-section is circular. The lifting assembly 14 extends to drive the pressing plate 12 to move downward, thereby compressing the medical waste inside the second barrel body 2, reducing the fluffiness and voids between the wastes, increasing the storage space of the second barrel body 2, and reducing the frequency of medical staff dumping garbage.

[0047] An ultraviolet ring lamp 34 is installed on the bottom surface of the barrel cover 8 to disinfect and sterilize the medical waste inside the second barrel body 2 through the ultraviolet ring lamp 34. In order to avoid the influence of the ultraviolet ring lamp 34 on the movement of the pressing plate 12, the inner diameter of the ultraviolet ring lamp 34 needs to be greater than the diameter of the pressing plate 12. Further, the ultraviolet ring lamp 34 is fixed to the barrel cover 8 through a limiting frame 35.

[0048] As Figure 6 shown, a clamping seat 25 is installed at one end of the top of the fixing block 9, and a clamping block 26 that cooperates with the pull handle 24 is hinged inside the clamping seat 25. The pull handle 24 is limited by the clamping seat 25 and the clamping block 26 to prevent the pressing plate 12 from pressing down when not in use. In this embodiment, one end of the clamping block 26 has a protrusion to form an L-shaped structure, and the protruding end is used to limit the pull handle 24. The clamping seat 25 is a U-shaped structure, and the other end of the clamping block 26 is hinged to the clamping seat 25.

[0049] Further, the liquid storage assembly includes a housing 3 and a liquid storage box 4. The liquid storage box 4 is arranged inside the housing 3 and is slidably connected thereto. As Figure 5 shown, sliding blocks 18 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the liquid storage box 4, and sliding grooves 19 are symmetrically formed inside the housing 3, and the sliding grooves 19 are slidably connected to the sliding blocks 18.

[0050] The liquid storage box 4 has an open top and a closed periphery. The top of the housing 3 is communicated with the opening 7, so that the liquid waste in the medical waste can flow in and enter the liquid storage box 4 after being filtered, and the solid waste will be left inside the second barrel body 2, avoiding the situation of mutual contamination between the medical wastes and resulting in the growth of bacteria, protecting the health of the surrounding people, and being beneficial to reducing the generation of thick smoke during later centralized incineration and protecting the environment.

[0051] Further, the support frame includes a first support plate 15, a second support plate 38, a spherical hinge 37 and a support leg 32. The first support plate 15 and the second support plate 38 are connected by a plurality of spherical hinges 37 distributed at intervals, so that the first support plate 15 and the second support plate 38 can move relative to each other. The first barrel body 1 is fixed to the first support plate 15 and is not fixed to the second support plate 38.

[0052] When the waste in the second barrel body 2 reaches the dumping standard, press a certain place on the upper surface of the first support plate 15 to make it tilt; press different positions on the upper surface of the first support plate 15 multiple times to make the second barrel body 2 shake relative to the second support plate 38 under the action of the first support plate 15, so that the internally compacted waste fits loosely against the inner wall of the second barrel body 2, facilitating the pouring out of the waste.

[0053] A number of support feet 32 are installed at the bottom of the second support plate 38, and rubber pads 33 are installed at the bottoms of the support feet 32. The first support plate 15 and the second support plate 38 can be circular plates, square plates or other shapes. An installation hole is opened at the center of the first support plate 15, and the holding barrel passes through the installation hole and is fixed. The number of support feet 32 can be selected according to actual requirements, such as three, four, etc.; the liquid storage assembly is arranged between the support feet 32. Of course, pulleys can also be installed at the bottoms of the legs 32 to facilitate movement to change the position of the device.

[0054] Embodiment 2:

[0055] This embodiment provides a method for using a waste treatment device for thoracic care:

[0056] During use, flip the bucket lid 8 around the hinge joint of the connecting block 20 and the connecting seat 21, and discard the medical waste inside the second barrel body 2. The liquid in the medical waste will flow into the liquid storage box 4 through the filter net 6 in the filter frame 5, while the solid medical waste is blocked by the filter net 6 and remains inside the second barrel body 2, achieving the effect of solid-liquid separation to reduce the chance of bacterial growth.

[0057] When the medical waste is stored full, close the bucket lid 8 and the first barrel body 1, and fix the first clamping block 29 and the second clamping block 30 through the screw 31; pull the two pull handles 24 to shorten the distance between the two pull handles 24. The pull handles 24 drive the sliding block 13 and the guide block 22 to move along the guide groove 23, so that the lifting assembly 14 extends; the pressing plate 12 descends under the action of the lifting assembly 14, and the descending of the pressing plate 12 compresses the medical waste inside the second barrel body 2, achieving the effect of reducing the gaps and fluffiness between the medical waste, so that the second barrel body 2 can store more medical waste.

[0058] If it is necessary to pour out the medical waste inside the second barrel body 2, just take out the second barrel body 2 from inside the first barrel body 1; if it is necessary to process the liquid accumulation inside the liquid storage box 4, just pull out the liquid storage box 4 from inside the housing 3 through the action of the slider 18 and the chute 19; and during the use process, turning on the ultraviolet ring lamp 34 can play a role in sterilization and disinfection.

[0059] The above are only specific embodiments of the present invention, and any changes that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope disclosed by the present invention should be covered within the protection scope of the invention.
