[0040] Embodiment 1

[0041] An integrated sharps container in this embodiment includes a box body 1, a top cover 2, and an upper cover 13. The upper cover 13 is arranged above the box body 1. See Figures 1 to 3, the top cover 2 is hinged to one side of the upper cover 13. The upper cover 13 is provided with a main opening 3, a common syringe insertion port 8, an insulin needle and a spiral needle insertion port 9, and a scissor opening 10. The main opening 3 is a square hole area, and an inclined baffle 4 inclined 30° towards the inside of the box body 1 is provided there, for putting in disposable consumables and making them slide into the box body 1. The common syringe insertion port 8 is a circular hole area. The insulin needle and the spiral needle insertion port 9 are cross-shaped hole areas, including a first strip hole and a second strip hole that are perpendicular and intersecting. The length of the first strip hole is 2 times the length of the second strip hole, and the width of the first strip hole is 2 times the width of the second strip hole. The scissor opening 10 is a V-shaped opening, and a blade is provided on its edge.

[0042] A first gasket 11 is provided at the edge of the upper surface of the upper cover 13, and a second gasket 12 matching the first gasket 11 is provided on the inner surface of the top cover 2. When the top cover 2 covers the upper cover 13, the second gasket 12 presses against the first gasket 11.

[0043] The integrated sharps container further includes a guide wire retraction assembly, including a retraction port 5, a retraction tube 6 connected to the retraction port 5, and a winding assembly 7 provided at the end of the retraction tube 6. The winding assembly 7 includes a winding motor 71 provided at the bottom of the box body 1, a winding roller 72 connected to the output shaft of the winding motor 71, and a storage battery (not shown in the drawings, which can be implemented based on the conventional knowledge of those skilled in the art) matching the winding motor 71. A plurality of through holes (not listed in the list of reference numerals in the drawings) are provided on the surface of the winding roller 72, and the end of the retraction tube 6 faces the surface of the winding roller 72, so that the head of the medical guide wire can be inserted into the through holes. When the winding motor 71 drives the winding roller 72 to rotate, the pulling of the medical guide wire is realized. When the winding roller 72 can no longer wind and pull the medical guide wire inserted into the retraction tube 6, a new winding roller 72 is replaced.

[0044] A connecting screw hole (not shown in the drawings, which can be implemented based on the conventional knowledge of those skilled in the art) is provided on the side of the winding roller 72, and an external thread (not shown in the drawings, which can be implemented based on the conventional knowledge of those skilled in the art) matching the connecting screw hole is provided on the surface of the output end of the winding motor 71, so as to realize the detachable connection between the winding motor 71 and the winding roller 72. An inspection hole 14 is provided at the side position of the box body 1, and the position of the inspection hole 14 corresponds to the position of the winding roller 72, for inspecting the winding condition of the winding roller 72. A cover plate or a plug is detachably provided on the inspection hole 14. The winding assembly 7 further includes a switch 15 provided on the box body 1, and the switch 15 is electrically connected to the winding motor 71, for controlling the start and stop of the winding motor 71.

[0045] In this embodiment, the efficient feeding and sliding of the disposable consumables are realized through the main opening 3 and the inclined baffle 4. The main opening 3 is a square hole area, and the inclined baffle 4 is arranged at the main opening, inclined downward towards the inside of the box body 1, and the inclination angle is 30° to 60°, seeFigure 1 When disposable consumables such as syringe needles and infusion tube needles are inserted through the main opening 3, the inclined design of the inclined baffle 4 will guide the consumables to slide into the interior of the box body 1, avoiding the consumables getting stuck at the opening or scattered outside. This design not only improves the feeding efficiency but also reduces the risk of medical staff being stabbed by needles.

[0046] The scissor opening 10 is a V-shaped opening, and there are blades on its edge. When an infusion tube needle or an insulin pen needle needs to be separated from the hose, medical staff only need to pass the hose through the scissor opening 10, and the blades will automatically cut the hose to achieve the separation of the needle and the hose. This design avoids the cumbersome steps of manually using scissors and reduces the risk of environmental pollution caused by scissors contaminated with bacteria. The V-shaped design of the scissor opening 10 ensures the accuracy and stability of cutting, further improving the safety of the operation.

[0047] Since both insulin needles and spiral needles have a plate-shaped plastic part, the cross-shaped hole structure of the insulin needle and spiral needle insertion port 9 can be adapted to most insulin needles and spiral needles. The plate-shaped plastic part of the insulin needle and spiral needle is limited by one of them, and the insulin needle and spiral needle are inserted. Rotating the syringe can make the insulin needle and spiral needle fall into the box body 1.

[0048] The guide wire retraction assembly includes a retraction port 5, a retraction tube 6, and a winding assembly 7. The used medical guide wire is inserted into the retraction tube 6 through the retraction port 5, and the end is connected to the surface of the winding roller 72 of the winding assembly 7. The winding assembly 7 is driven by a winding motor 71. When medical staff presses the switch 15, the winding motor 71 starts, drives the winding roller 72 to rotate, and pulls and winds the medical guide wire onto the surface of the winding roller 72. The through-hole design on the surface of the winding roller 72 ensures that the head of the guide wire can be firmly inserted to avoid slipping. When the winding roller 72 is full, the winding situation can be observed through the inspection hole 14, and a new winding roller 72 can be replaced to achieve the efficient recycling of the medical guide wire.
