Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical auxiliary instruments, and particularly to a multifunctional insulin pen storage box. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous increase in the number of diabetic patients, the number of patients using insulin is also increasing day by day. During inpatient treatment, insulin pens are usually centrally managed by nurses and injected according to doctor's orders. When nurses perform insulin injections, they need to carry a variety of items, including insulin pens, special injection needles, alcohol cotton balls, insulin needle disassemblers, and sharps boxes. Currently, the insulin pen storage boxes on the market have relatively single functions and are mostly designed for vertical insertion, which can only store insulin pens, and other items required for injection need to be taken separately, resulting in a cumbersome operation process and low efficiency.
[0003] In the prior art, the main problems of insulin pen storage boxes include: single function: they can only store insulin pens and cannot integrate functions such as needle disassembly, contaminated needle recycling, and storage of spare materials, resulting in nurses having to frequently pick up different items, increasing the operation time and the probability of errors. Inconvenient operation: Needle disassembly usually requires additional tools, and the disassembled contaminated needles need to be manually placed into the sharps box, increasing the risk of cross-contamination. Low space utilization rate: The traditional storage box design is simple and fails to make full use of the space to store common items such as spare needles and alcohol cotton balls, resulting in nurses having to carry or search for these items separately.
[0004] To address these problems, there is an urgent need for a multifunctional insulin pen storage box that can integrate functions such as storage, needle disassembly, contaminated needle recycling, and management of spare materials, so as to simplify the operation process, improve the work efficiency of nurses, and reduce the risk of contamination at the same time. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a multifunctional insulin pen storage box, which solves the problems of single function and cumbersome operation in the prior art through an integrated structure of disassembly and storage.
[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0007] A multifunctional insulin pen storage box, including a storage box, further comprising: a cover assembly provided on one side of the storage box, a mounting plate fixedly connected inside the storage box, an insulin pen storage drawer slidably provided inside the storage box on one side of the mounting plate, a partition fixedly connected inside the insulin pen storage drawer, and a plurality of partitions are provided, dividing the insulin pen storage drawer into a plurality of areas. A separation plate is fixedly connected inside the storage box on the side of the mounting plate away from the insulin pen storage drawer, a recovery port is opened on the separation plate, a needle removal assembly is provided above the separation plate, and a used needle storage drawer is slidably provided inside the storage box below the separation plate. A spare material storage area is provided on the storage box behind the used needle storage drawer.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the cover assembly includes linkage blocks fixedly provided on both side walls of the storage box, and a sealing cover is rotatably provided between the linkage blocks.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the needle removal assembly includes a needle removal opening opened on the top wall of the storage box, a rotating column fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the storage box below the needle removal opening, and a clamping assembly rotatably provided on the rotating column.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the clamping assembly includes extension rods rotatably provided on the rotating column, and two extension rods are provided. A clamping arm is fixedly connected to one end of the extension rod close to the needle removal opening, the inner wall of the clamping arm is provided with an arc-shaped structure, and the inner wall of the clamping arm is a threaded structure.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the spare material storage area includes a spare needle storage groove opened on the storage box, and an alcohol cotton ball storage groove is opened on the storage box on one side of the spare needle storage groove.
[0012] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: Functional integration: Through the partition design, four major functions of insulin pen storage, needle removal, used needle recovery, and spare material storage are integrated, avoiding the trouble of nurses frequently fetching different items; The insulin pen storage drawer adopts a multi-partition design, which can store multiple insulin pens in categories to avoid confusion. The spare material storage area is provided with special slots, which is convenient for storing spare needles and alcohol cotton balls for easy access; Operational convenience: The needle removal assembly is ingeniously designed. The needle is fixed by the threaded clamping arm, and the needle can be easily removed by rotating the insulin pen without additional tools.
[0013] After being disassembled, the contaminated needles automatically fall into the contaminated needle storage drawer through the recycling port, avoiding the contamination risk brought by manual operation. The cover assembly is designed with a linkage block and a sealing cover, which is convenient to open and close, and effectively protects the cleanliness and safety of the items in the storage box. Safety and hygiene: The contaminated needle storage drawer is independently set, completely separated from the clean items, reducing the possibility of cross-contamination. During the needle disassembly process, the needle is always in a closed space, reducing the risk of medical staff contacting sharp waste.
[0014] High space utilization rate: Through the drawer-type design and layered layout, the internal space of the storage box is fully utilized to meet the storage needs of various items. The structure is compact, easy to carry and store, and suitable for various scenarios such as hospital wards and nurse stations.
[0015] Improve work efficiency: The integrated design reduces the operation steps of nurses, shortens the injection preparation time, and improves work efficiency. The standardized operation process reduces the error probability, especially suitable for busy medical environments. Description of the Drawings
