Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to a mercury collecting device. Background Art

[0002] In modern medical practice, although with the development of science and technology, a variety of safer and more convenient temperature measuring instruments such as electronic thermometers and infrared thermometers have emerged, in clinical application scenarios, mercury thermometers still occupy an important position based on their long-proven high accuracy. At the same time, mercury sphygmomanometers continue to be used in some medical institutions, although they are gradually being phased out in response to global initiatives to reduce the use of mercury. However, these traditional medical devices containing mercury have significant safety hazards during use: once accidentally damaged, the mercury inside will quickly spread into small beads that are difficult to collect, or even turn into mercury vapor that is easy to inhale.

[0003] Mercury is not only highly volatile and can evaporate quickly into the air at room temperature, but mercury vapor is also a highly toxic pollutant that can enter the human body through the respiratory tract and cause long-term and serious damage to the nervous system and other organs. When mercury is scattered in an indoor environment, it not only directly threatens the lives of patients and medical staff, but also causes continuous pollution to the surrounding environment, especially in closed spaces, where the concentration of mercury vapor may quickly accumulate to a dangerous level.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a mercury collection device disclosed in the utility model includes:

[0031] A collecting box 1, wherein the top of the collecting box 1 is open and is used to store mercury;

[0032] A box cover 2, the box cover 2 is adapted to the opening of the collection box 1 and is used to seal the collection box 1, and the collection box 1 and the box cover 2 are sealed and connected in a detachable manner;

[0033] A connecting member 3, the connecting member 3 is connected to a side of the box cover 2 close to the collecting box 1, and is used to connect a component for collecting mercury;

[0034] A roller 4, wherein the roller 4 is rotatably connected to the connecting member 3;

[0035] The adsorbent 5 is wound around the roller 4 and is fixedly connected to the roller 4 for adsorbing mercury.

[0036] The above-mentioned collecting box 1 is used to store the collected mercury. Except for the opening at the top, the rest of the collecting box 1 is sealed. In order to ensure the safety of the collecting box 1, the material of the collecting box 1 should be a material that can withstand mercury, such as glass and plastic.

[0037] In this embodiment, as a medical device, it can be used as a disposable item. For example, the collection box 1 is set to be a mercury-resistant plastic (polyethylene or polypropylene, etc.) or glass, which can store mercury and has a low cost. In addition, the box cover 2 and other parts (except the adsorbent 5) can also be made of mercury-resistant plastic or glass;

[0038] When a thermometer or a sphygmomanometer is damaged and mercury is scattered, the medical staff opens the box cover 2, picks up the box cover 2 and the connecting piece 3 and the roller 4 fixed thereto, places the roller 4 against the ground, and then pushes the roller 4 to rotate through the box cover 2, so that the adsorbent 5 on the roller 4 adsorbs the scattered mercury (due to the high surface tension and fluidity of mercury, it will disperse into many small droplets or small particles, which look like many small water droplets), which can reduce the time for cleaning the mercury and thus reduce the volatilization of mercury; after the adsorption, the roller 4 is put back into the collection box 1, and then the box cover 2 is sealed, and the sealed collection box 1 is sent to the professional processing department of the hospital for processing.

[0039] The above-mentioned collection box 1 and the box cover 2 can be connected by threaded connection. For the collection box 1 and the box cover 2 made of glass, in addition to the threaded connection, a rubber pad can be provided on the periphery of the box cover 2, and the box cover 2 and the collection box 1 can be sealed and fixed by snapping together;

[0040] In order to further increase the sealing between the box cover 2 and the collecting box 1, a sealing ring may be provided on the inner side of the box cover to prevent mercury from volatilizing and leaking.

[0041] A marking area 6 is provided on the side wall of the collection box 1 for indicating the items in the collection box 1 .

[0042] In order to more clearly warn the items in the collection box 1, a label is set on the side wall of the collection box 1. The label is a sticker printed with words such as "mercury" and "danger", which is convenient for reminding medical staff who use and handle the items to take protective measures in advance.

[0043] The collecting box 1 and the box cover 2 are made of glass.

[0044] The adsorbent 5 is an adhesive backing disposed on the roller 4 .

[0045] By setting the adsorbent 5 as the adhesive backing on the roller 4, the adhesive backing is a long cylindrical structure, which can adsorb mercury scattered over a large area, improve the efficiency of collecting mercury, and reduce the volatilization of mercury.

[0046] Furthermore, the adhesive backing can be made of the same material as the hair remover. Since the amount of mercury in thermometers and sphygmomanometers is small, even if they fall to the ground, they will scatter into small particles. The adhesive backing can effectively absorb the mercury. Other materials that can absorb mercury can also be selected as adsorbents.

[0047] Furthermore, in order to prevent the adhesive backing from being exposed for a long time and causing insufficient stickiness, a layer of anti-sticking protective film is provided on the surface of the adhesive backing, and the protective film can be torn off before use.

[0048] The diameter of the collecting box 1 is 3-5 cm, and the height of the collecting box 1 is 3-5 cm.

[0049] As a tool for collecting mercury from broken thermometers or sphygmomanometers, since the sphygmomanometers and thermometers commonly used in hospitals contain less mercury, and collection is convenient, and considering the cost of disposable items, the diameter of the collection box 1 is set to 3-5 cm, and the height of the collection box 1 is 3-5 cm.

[0050] The collecting box 1 and the box cover 2 are made of mercury-resistant plastic material.

[0051] The collection box 1 and the box cover 2 are made of polyethylene or polypropylene.

[0052] The above specific embodiments may be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described in detail in some embodiments.

[0053] The technical features of the above embodiments may be arbitrarily combined (as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features). To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described; these embodiments that are not explicitly written should also be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0054] The above is a relatively specific and detailed description of the utility model through general description and specific embodiments. It should be pointed out that, without departing from the concept of the utility model, it is obvious that several variations and improvements can be made to these specific embodiments, which all belong to the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of this application shall be based on the attached claims.
