Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of catheter recovery, and in particular to a medical catheter recovery and processing device. Background Art

[0002] Medical catheters are common disposable medical consumables that are mainly used for intravenous infusion and have been sterilized to establish a channel between the vein and the drug solution. They are directly discarded after use. However, in hospitals where a large number of patients with low immunity gather, medical staff must recycle medical catheters into relatively sealed equipment in order to avoid cross infection.

[0003] The current recycling method is for medical staff to manually compress the volume of medical catheters (for example, kneading or coiling them), and then put the medical catheters into a unified storage container. After the container is filled, it is transported to a designated location for further recycling and processing. Subsequent recycling generally involves crushing the catheter. This operation can not only drain the residual liquid in the catheter and destroy it separately, but also reduce the gaps between discarded catheters by reducing the unit volume, thereby increasing the amount of discarded catheters transported each time.

[0004] Although the existing catheter recovery method is not difficult to operate, its process is complicated and medical staff need to contact the discarded catheter for a long time during the collection process, which poses a risk of infection. At the same time, the current method of crushing the catheter is to use a roller crusher. The catheter is easily entangled on the outside of the crushing roller during the crushing process, which not only damages the crushing equipment, but also causes a decrease in the efficiency of the catheter recovery work. In view of this, the present invention proposes a medical catheter recovery and processing equipment. Summary of the invention

A gear 33 is coaxially fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 4, and the two gears 33 are meshed and connected. An inner cavity 41 is opened in the interlayer of the side wall of the outer shell 1 at a position corresponding to the two gears 33, and a motor 34 is fixedly arranged on the side wall of the outer shell 1 at a position corresponding to one of the gears 33. The output end of the motor 34 extends through the outer wall of the outer shell 1 to the interior thereof and is coaxially fixedly connected with the corresponding gear 33. A transmission belt 35 is connected between the other end of the rotating shaft 4 and the end of the rotating rod 30 on the same side thereof, and the transmission belt 35 is slidably connected to the side wall of the outer shell 1.

[0040] A filter plate 11 is fixedly provided at the lower part of the inner part of the outer shell 1, and the filter plate 11 is arranged in an inclined structure with the front lower and the rear higher. A discharge port 12 is provided on the side wall of the outer shell 1 relative to the lower end of the filter plate 11, and the upper part of the outer shell 1 is in a stepped structure. The bottom surface of the feed chute 2 is in an inverted triangle structure and is connected with the inner part of the outer shell 1. A baffle 36 is fixedly provided in the middle part of the feed chute 2, and the baffle 36 is a V-shaped structure with the concave surface downward. A sealing door 37 is hinged on the top surface of the discharge port 12, and a glass plate 40 is embedded in the middle part of the sealing door 37. The inner bottom surface of the outer shell 1 is in an inclined structure with the front higher and the rear lower. A water outlet pipe 38 is penetrated through the inner bottom surface of the outer shell 1 away from the discharge port 12, and a valve 39 is connected to the middle part of the water outlet pipe 38.

[0041] Working principle: Medical staff can put the used catheter from the feed trough 2 of the device into the shell 1. Under the guidance of the baffle 36 in the feed trough 2, the discarded catheter will slide to the two sides of the feed trough 2, and then be gathered by the inclined surface structure on the bottom of the feed trough 2 to the connecting port between the feed trough 2 and the inside of the shell 1, and then slide into the crushing mechanism 3;

[0042] Driven by the motor 34, one of the gears 33 and the shaft 4 will rotate, and then the gear 33 coaxially fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 34 will drive the other gear 33 to make the shaft 4 on the other side rotate in the opposite direction. The rotation of the two shafts 4 will cause a large number of crushing knives 5 fixed on the two to rotate. Because the crushing knives 5 on both sides are arranged in a staggered manner, there will be no obstruction during rotation, and the staggered design can also minimize the gap in the crushing mechanism 3 to the greatest extent, ensuring that each waste conduit that slides into the housing 1 is The shredded waste catheter will fall onto the filter plate 11 below, and the residual liquid and contaminated patient body fluids therein will flow down along the holes of the filter plate 11 and be concentrated in the cavity between the filter plate 11 and the bottom surface of the housing 1. Medical staff only need to open the sealed door 37 from the discharge port 12 regularly to clean out the shredded waste catheter residues. A glass plate 40 for observing the interior of the housing 1 is provided on the sealed door 37, which is convenient for staff to judge the timing of cleaning. The drained liquid can also be directly released from the device from the outlet pipe 38 by opening the valve 39 at the rear;

[0043] In the process of crushing the waste pipes, although there is a special shape design of the connection port between the feed trough 2 and the inner part of the shell 1 and the obstruction of the limit plate 14, some of the waste pipes will still be entangled in the gaps between the crushing knives 5 on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 4 due to coincidence. At this time, the cutting mechanism 6 in the present device will cut off the waste pipes entangled outside the rotating shaft 4. During the rotation of the rotating shaft 4, the transmission belt 35 will drive the rotating rod 30 on the same side to rotate synchronously and in the same direction. During the rotation of the rotating rod 30, the second spiral groove 31 thereon will squeeze the guide block 42, thereby causing the movable ring 29 with the guide block 42 fixed thereon to translate, and the movable ring 29 will drive the moving seat 7 and the cutting head 10 connected to the moving seat 7 to move together. The first spiral groove 1 3 and the second spiral groove 31 are parallel to each other, and the number of turns and length of the part parallel to the first spiral groove 13 and the second spiral groove 31 are consistent, and the rotation angular velocity of the rotating shaft 4 and the rotating rod 30 are also consistent, so the cutting head 10 will maintain sliding contact with the first spiral groove 13 on the rotating shaft 4 during movement. The first spiral groove 13 is set to allow the waste catheter to be completely wound outside the rotating shaft 4. There will be a gap with the rotating shaft 4 at the first spiral groove 13, which is convenient for the cutting head 10 to cut the waste catheter and prevent the problem of incomplete cutting of the waste catheter caused by the blocking of the rotating shaft 4. At the same time, the sliding rod 9 with multiple tooth grooves 18 will continue to rotate under the toggle of the tooth column 16, so that the blade direction of the cutting head 10 can flexibly cope with the waste catheters wound at different angles, thereby improving the cutting efficiency;

[0044] As the moving seat 7 translates, its end will pull the steel tape 19 to move together, and the steel tape 19 will be pulled out from one side to cover the position where the moving seat 7 passes, so as to close the moving groove 15 to prevent the discarded conduit after crushing from entering the cavity 8. Both ends of the steel tape 19 are wound on the fixed shaft 21, and the coil spring 22 sleeved on the fixed shaft 21 can rewind the steel tape 19 back to the inside of the circular groove 20 when the fixed shaft 21 is not subjected to tension. This structure is similar to the principle of a steel tape measure, and the steel tape 19 is used to prevent it from being broken by the friction of the crushing knife 5;

[0045] When the moving seat 7 moves to the last part of the first spiral groove 13, the position of the guide rod 23 will enter the arc groove 25 at the rear from the inner guide groove 24, and then under the guidance of the arc groove 25, the guide rod 23 will drive the moving seat 7 to slide as a whole in the direction away from the rotating shaft 4, so that the cutting head 10 will be away from the rotating shaft 4. This design is to prevent the cutting head 10 from contacting the rotating shaft 4 and the crushing knife 5 thereon during the resetting process, because the gaps of multiple crushing knives 5 are only arranged in a single spiral to avoid too many gaps affecting the crushing effect. Therefore, when the rotating shaft 4 rotates in the same direction, if the cutting head 10 moves back, it will be stuck with the crushing knife 5. The design of moving the cutting head 10 away from the rotating shaft 4 can avoid this situation. It should be noted that the gap width of the crushing knife 5 is in actual use. In use, it needs to be smaller than the diameter of the discarded catheter. Because the cutting head 10 is a cross-shaped blade, it can play a cutting role even with a small size. When the guide rod 23 slides to the outer end of the arc groove 25, it will press the stopper 28 into the block groove 26 through the inclined surface. After the guide rod 23 passes the stopper 28, the stopper 28 will return to its original position under the rebound force of the compression spring 27 and block the way of the stopper 28. At this time, the guide rod 23 will come to the rear end of the outer guide groove 24. On the other hand, the guide block 42 will also change from sliding cooperation with the second spiral groove 31 to sliding cooperation with the third spiral groove 32. The number of turns of the third spiral groove 32 is very small. This is to enable the cutting head 10 to be quickly reset to avoid the entanglement of the discarded catheter during a long cutting gap and affect the operation of the device.

[0046] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the protection scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
