[0037] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] Reference Figure 1-8 The needle-stick-proof sharps box includes a box body 1 and a box cover 2 installed on the box body 1, and also includes: a second input port 212, which is arranged on the box cover 2; a hollow conduit 22, which is located at the bottom of the box cover 2, and the top of the hollow conduit 22 is connected to the lower end of the second input port 212; an anti-leakage component 3, which is buckled in the second input port 212; and a disassembly component 4, which is inserted into the hollow conduit 22 and is used to separate sharps.

[0039] It should be noted that the box body 1 and the box cover 2 are made of plastic material; the connection between the box cover 2 and the box body 1 is stable and reliable, ensuring the overall structural strength of the sharps box; the first input port 211 and the second input port 212 are circular in shape, and the setting of the input port meets the insertion requirements of needles of different models, thereby improving the applicability of the sharps box. The diameter of the first input port 211 is much larger than that of the second input port 212. The first input port 211 is used to place disassembled hoses, syringes and other larger wastes, and the second input port 212 is mainly used to place small wastes such as needles.

[0040] A groove 21 is provided on the top of the box cover 2, and a second input port 212 is provided on the bottom wall of the groove 21. The bottom wall of the groove 21 is also provided with a first input port 211. A side wall of the hollow conduit 22 is provided with a through groove 23 corresponding to the side wall of the adjacent box cover 2. The disassembly component 4 is plugged into the through groove 23, so that the disassembly component 4 can be smoothly inserted to achieve safe disassembly of the needle. This setting effectively avoids the risks of liquid splashing and needle punctures that may occur in the traditional sharps box during the needle disassembly process; the anti-leakage component 3 is buckled on the second input port 212, which further enhances the sealing performance of the sharps box, ensures the safe storage of the internal liquid, and prevents the occurrence of leakage accidents.

[0041] The box body 1 includes a first cavity 12 and a second cavity 13. The second cavity 13 is located inside the first cavity 12. The first cavity 12 and the second cavity 13 separate the box body 1 into two storage spaces for classifying and placing sharp objects.

[0042] The first input port 211 and the second input port 212 are in communication with the corresponding first cavity 12 and second cavity 13 .

[0043] It should be noted that the setting of the first cavity 12 and the second cavity 13 enables different types of medical waste to be stored in a classified manner, which is convenient for management and can effectively prevent the risk of cross infection; the interiors of the first cavity 12 and the second cavity 13 are both provided with soft cushioning materials, which can reduce the impact force of needles or other sharp objects during the insertion process, further reducing the risk of needlestick injuries.

[0044] The anti-leakage assembly 3 includes: a first connecting tube 31 , which is buckled with one end of the second input port 212 ; a second connecting tube 32 , which is connected to the end of the first connecting tube 31 ; and a anti-leakage sheet 33 , which is located between the first connecting tube 31 and the second connecting tube 32 .

[0045] It should be noted that the first connecting tube 31 and the second connecting tube 32 are both made of plastic material. The first connecting tube 31 is a round tube. One end of the first connecting tube 31 and one end of the second connecting tube 32 are sleeved with an interference fit, and an abutment portion is provided at one end of the second connecting tube 32. When the second connecting tube 32 is completely inserted into the first connecting tube 31 with interference fit, the abutment portion of the second connecting tube 32 tightly fixes the anti-leakage sheet 33 between one end of the first connecting tube 31 and the abutment portion.

[0046] The anti-leakage sheet 33 is made of rubber material. A through hole 331 is formed in the center of the anti-leakage sheet 33 , and a plurality of pores 332 are formed along the circumference of the through hole 331 .

[0047] It should be noted that when the needle is inserted through the central hole 421 of the anti-leakage sheet 33 and then the needle is pulled out, the anti-leakage sheet 33 will fit tightly against the wall of the needle to prevent the remaining liquid in the syringe from splashing outward.

[0048] The disassembly assembly 4 includes a connecting rod 41 and a cutting head 42 disposed at one end of the connecting rod 41 .

[0049] It should be noted that the disassembly component 4 is made of stainless steel, and the shape and size of the blade head 42 match the shape and size of the first input port 211. A sharp cutting portion is provided at one end of the blade head 42 that contacts the side wall of the hollow catheter 22. When it is necessary to disassemble the flexible tube needle of the drip, the blade head 42 can be used to disconnect the hose. When it is necessary to disassemble syringe needles of different sizes, the front and rear distance of the connecting rod 41 can be adjusted, the needle base can be pressed against, and the syringe can be pulled upward to remove the needle.

[0050] A teardrop-shaped hole 421 is formed on the surface of the blade head 42 .

[0051] It should be noted that a teardrop-shaped hole 421 is provided on the surface of the blade 42. The hole 421 is wider at one end and gradually narrows along one end of the hole 421 to the other end. Therefore, when using needle tubes of different sizes, the needle is first inserted into the wider part of the hole 421, and then searches for the abutment part on the narrow part on one side. When it just abuts with the end of the needle, the needle on the syringe can be removed by pulling it upwards.

[0052] A perspective plate 11 is provided on the box body 1 for observing the number of sharp objects in the box body 1 . The perspective plate 11 is provided at a position 3 / 4 of the height away from the bottom of the box body 1 .

[0053] It should be noted that the provision of the perspective plate 11 enables the user to clearly observe the items in the box body 1 , which is convenient for management and use. The perspective plate 11 is made of a transparent or translucent material.

[0054] A timer 5 for reminding time is provided on the side wall of the box body 1 .

[0055] It should be noted that a timer 5 accommodating cavity can be provided on the side wall of the box body 1. When the service life of the sharps box is exhausted, the timer 5 can be removed and installed in the next sharps box; the timer 5 can be preset to a time, generally set to hours. When the sharps box is used for the preset time, the timer 5 will emit a prompt sound to remind the user to replace the sharps box to ensure the safe disposal of medical waste and environmental hygiene.

[0056] The box cover 2 further comprises a sealing plate rotatably connected to the top of the box cover 2 and used for sealing the groove 21 on the top of the box cover 2 .

[0057] It should be noted that the shape and size of the sealing plate are completely consistent with the shape and size of the groove 21 of the box cover 2.

[0058] Working principle:

[0059] When using the needle stick prevention sharps box, first, the medical staff put the used sharps such as needles or syringes into the sharps box through the first input port 211 and the second input port 212. The second input port 212 is mainly used to collect small-volume waste such as needles; for medical waste such as needle hoses installed, the setting of the blade 42 allows the medical staff to easily disconnect the hose and the needle, or adjust the front and rear distance of the connecting rod 41 to adapt to syringe needles of different sizes, so as to safely remove the needle. The water drop-shaped hole 421 on the surface of the blade 42 is used to pull out needles from syringes of different sizes, and can also block the second input port 212 to prevent needle sticks from injuring staff and protect the safety of medical staff.

[0060] When a certain amount of medical waste accumulates inside the sharps box, medical staff can clearly observe the situation of the items in the box through the perspective plate 11, and thus deal with them in time without waiting until the waste is full and the needle leaks out, increasing the risk of puncture. At the same time, the setting of the timer 5 can remind medical staff to replace the sharps box within a preset time to avoid medical waste accumulation for too long and causing safety hazards.

[0061] In addition, the design of the sealing plate can ensure that the groove 21 on the top of the box cover 2 is in a sealed state, preventing sharp objects from falling from the opening or injuring people during transportation or storage. The design of the entire sharps box fully considers the safety and ease of use of medical staff, and effectively reduces the risk of occupational exposure such as needlestick injuries.

[0062] In summary, compared with the prior art, the needlestick-proof sharps box proposed in this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0063] The anti-leakage component 3 of the present invention is buckled onto the second input port 212, effectively preventing the liquid in the syringe from splashing around when the needle is pulled out, thereby avoiding the infection of the deliverer by contaminants; the anti-leakage sheet 33 is made of rubber material, and a through hole 331 is provided in the center of the anti-leakage sheet 33, and a plurality of pores 332 are circumferentially connected along the through hole 331, which not only ensures the smooth insertion of the needle, but also prevents leakage, thereby ensuring the sealing and safety of the sharps box.

[0064] In addition, through the provided perspective plate 11, the user can intuitively observe the storage status of sharp objects in the box body 1, which is convenient for timely replacement or disposal, avoiding the problem of increased risk of puncture due to the amount of sharp objects exceeding the prescribed capacity; at the same time, the perspective plate 11 is set at a position 3 / 4 of the height away from the bottom of the box body 1, ensuring that the user can clearly see and promptly deal with the sharp objects before the amount reaches the prescribed capacity, further improving safety.

[0065] The disassembly component 4 is provided with a connecting rod 41 and a cutting head 42, so that the user can easily remove the needles from syringes of different types without having to worry about the needle being difficult to remove or the liquid splashing. The teardrop-shaped hole 421 on the surface of the cutting head 42 increases the smoothness and safety of the extraction process. The present invention also provides a timer 5 on the side wall of the box body 1 to remind the storage time of medical waste.
