[0035] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used in the specification of the template herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0036] In the related art, medical sharps bins, also known as medical sharps boxes or medical sharps containers, are containers specifically used to collect and safely dispose of sharp medical waste (such as injection needles, surgical blades, broken glass test tubes, scalpels, dental instruments, etc.) generated by hospitals, clinics and other medical institutions. The main goal of designing these containers is to prevent medical staff and cleaning staff from contracting diseases such as blood-borne pathogens such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV due to accidental punctures when handling waste. When in use, the sharps bin should be closed in time after the sharps are put in, and the sharps bin after use should be properly stored at the location where the medical waste is generated, waiting for centralized collection and destruction by professional medical waste treatment agencies.

[0037] Generally, a sharps bucket includes a bucket body and a bucket cover, and the bucket cover is engaged with the bucket mouth at the upper end of the bucket body. However, this connection structure has the following problems: when medical staff discard the needle, they need to hold the needle to remove the needle before throwing it into the sharps bucket. In this process, there is a risk of needle piercing the hand and causing infection.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a medical sharps bucket, which includes a barrel body 100 and a separator 200, the barrel body 100 has a storage cavity; the separator 200 is connected to the barrel body 100, and the separator 200 has a separation groove 210, and the separation groove 210 is connected to the storage cavity; wherein the separation groove 210 has a first end 211 and a second end 212 in its extension direction, the groove width of the first end 211 is greater than the groove width of the second end 212, and the groove width of the first end 211 is L1, the maximum diameter of the needle is D, and the groove width of the second end 212 is L2, satisfying: L2<D<L1.

[0039] It is easy to understand that the groove width of the first end 211 is greater than the maximum diameter of the needle, and the groove width of the second end 212 is less than the maximum diameter of the needle; that is, the first end 211 can allow the needle to pass through, but the second end 212 does not allow the needle to pass through. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the width of the second end 212 can allow the plug end of the infusion tube or syringe connected to the needle to enter and exit.

[0040] For example, the sharp objects stored in the sharps bucket are needles. As mentioned above, needles generally need to be manually disassembled and thrown into the sharps bucket, and this process involves contact with the needles by hands. Therefore, by providing a separator 200, after the needle passes through the separation groove 210 and moves the needle to the second end 212, since the groove width of the second end 212 is smaller than the tail end of the needle, the needle can be separated from the infusion tube or syringe by pulling back the infusion tube or syringe, and then the needle falls into the storage cavity.

[0041] By using the medical sharp tool barrel provided by the utility model, by adding a separation piece 200 to the barrel body 100 and utilizing the size matching relationship between the separation groove 210 and the needle, it is possible to achieve no contact between the medical staff and the needle when removing the needle, thereby reducing the risk of the medical staff being injured by the needle; obviously, by providing the separation piece 200, the efficiency of removing the needle can also be improved.

[0042] Of course, in some embodiments, the second end 212 and the needle may be formed into an interference fit, and when the needle is clamped at the second end 212, the needle may be removed by pulling, so that the needle remains at the second end 212. Optionally, the second end 212 is set to have a certain length, thereby ensuring that multiple needles can be accommodated.

[0043] In some embodiments, the separator 200 is detachably connected to the barrel 100, so that the separator 200 can be selectively used. For example, in some occasions where a needle is not used, the separator 200 can be removed or not installed.

[0044] For example, the separator 200 is snap-fitted to the barrel body 100. Of course, in other embodiments, the separator 200 is connected to the barrel body 100 by screws, etc., which is not specifically limited here.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the width of the separation groove 210 gradually decreases from the first end 211 to the second end 212 .

[0046] That is to say, a smooth transition is formed at the transition point from the first end 211 to the second end, so that in actual operation, after the needle passes through the first end 211, it is easy to move the needle to the second end 212.

[0047] It is easy to understand that the smooth transition between the first end 211 and the second end 212 plays a guiding role, facilitating the needle to move from the first end 211 to the second end 212 .

[0048] For example, the separation groove 210 is configured to be gourd-shaped. Of course, in other embodiments, the separation groove 210 may also be cone-shaped, trumpet-shaped, etc., which is not specifically limited here.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the barrel body 100 includes a barrel body 120 and a barrel cover 110 , the barrel body 120 has a storage opening 124 ; the barrel cover 110 is detachably connected to the storage opening 124 ; wherein the separator 200 is connected to the inner side of the storage opening 124 .

[0050] When in use, the barrel cover 110 is opened, a needle or other sharp object is put into the barrel body 120 from the storage opening 124, and the barrel cover 110 is closed after the storage is completed. In other words, the storage opening 124 is connected to the storage cavity.

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, by installing the separator 200 on the inner side of the storage opening 124, the separator 200 can be used only when the barrel cover 110 is opened, thereby ensuring the sealing of the barrel body 100.

[0052] Of course, in other embodiments, the separator 200 may be installed on the barrel cover 110, the separation groove 210 passes through the barrel cover 110, and a detachable separation cover is provided on the barrel cover 110 to close the separation groove 210 through the separation cover when the separator 200 is not in use.

[0053] In some embodiments, the bucket cover 110 is threadedly connected to the storage opening 124 .

[0054] By threading the barrel cover 110 to the storage opening 124, the connection strength between the two can be ensured, thereby ensuring that the two will not separate in some special scenarios, ensuring the sealing of the barrel body 100 and avoiding contamination. For example, the above special scenarios can be the barrel body 100 tipping over, the barrel body 100 falling from a high place, etc.

[0055] Exemplarily, the inner wall of the storage opening 124 of the barrel body 120 is provided with an internal thread, and the barrel cover 110 has an insertion end, and the insertion end is provided with an external thread, so that the inner wall of the storage opening 124 and the insertion end can be threadedly connected.

[0056] Exemplarily, the barrel body 120 is provided with a limiting portion, and the limiting portion can contact the barrel cover 110. When the limiting portion and the barrel cover 110 are in contact, it means that the barrel cover 110 is rotated into place, thereby avoiding the poor connection stability between the barrel cover 110 and the barrel body 120 caused by the barrel cover 110 not rotating into place. Optionally, the limiting portion is a first step surface 123 on the barrel body 120, and the barrel cover 110 has a second step surface that abuts and cooperates with the first step surface 123.

[0057] Based on the above embodiment, the first step surface 123 and the second step surface are both configured as annular step surfaces, and an elastic sealing gasket is arranged on the first step surface 123 and / or the second step surface, and then the elastic sealing gasket is squeezed by the first step surface 123 and the second step surface to achieve sealing of the object cavity.

[0058] For ease of understanding, in actual use, some sharp objects, such as needles, remain in the medicine liquid, which is easy to evaporate and pollute the air. Therefore, a sealing device is used to isolate the medicine liquid from the outside world.

[0059] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the barrel cover 110 is provided with a handle 111 , and the user can drive the barrel cover 110 to rotate or move the barrel body 100 by holding the handle 111 .

[0060] In some embodiments, the barrel cover 110 has a first clamping portion, and the barrel body 120 has a second clamping portion, and the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion are clamped together.

[0061] When sharp objects are frequently inserted, the barrel cover 110 needs to be fixed to the barrel body 120 after each use as required, which requires medical personnel to frequently use both hands to separate the barrel body 100 and the barrel cover 110, which is inconvenient to use.

[0062] Therefore, in this embodiment, the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion are engaged and matched to realize the quick connection and separation of the barrel cover 110 and the barrel body 120. Thus, the medical staff can control the connection and separation between the barrel cover 110 and the barrel body 120 by pressing and pulling.

[0063] Obviously, the above structural setting can facilitate the use of medical staff and reduce the labor intensity of medical staff.

[0064] In some embodiments, the first clamping portion includes a plurality of clamping grooves, and the plurality of clamping grooves are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the barrel cover 110;

[0065] The second engaging portion includes a plurality of engaging tongues 122 , which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the storage opening 124 . The engaging tongues 122 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the storage opening 124 and are configured to enable the engaging tongues 122 to be engaged in corresponding slots.

[0066] That is, the multiple latch tongues 122 correspond to the multiple latch slots one by one. When the latch tongue 122 is located in the latch slot, the barrel cover 110 and the barrel body 120 are connected by latching; when the latch tongue 122 is out of the latch slot, the barrel cover 110 and the barrel body 120 are separated. It should be noted that the multiple latch tongues 122 and the multiple latch slots are dispersedly arranged to improve the stability of the connection between the barrel cover 110 and the barrel body 120.

[0067] For example, a circular ring is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the barrel cover 110, and a slot matching the latch 122 is opened inside the circular ring. The latch 122 is stuck in the inside of the slot. Both the latch 122 and the slot are made of plastic material that can be slightly deformed, so it is easy to insert the latch 122 into the inside of the slot. After the barrel cover 110 is completely fastened to the barrel body 120, when the barrel body 100 falls from a height, the probability of separation of the barrel body 120 and the barrel cover 110 can be greatly reduced, thereby greatly reducing the probability of sharp objects spilling from the barrel body 100.

[0068] For example, the number of the card slots is 2, and the number of the card tongues 122 is 2. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of the card slots may be 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, etc., and the number of the card tongues 122 may be 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, etc., which are not specifically limited here.

[0069] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, a plurality of card slots are connected to form an annular connecting slot 112, and the slot width of the connecting slot 112 is equal at all locations.

[0070] Of course, if the plurality of slots are separated from each other, it is necessary to rotate the barrel cover 110 when installing the barrel cover 110 on the barrel body 120 to ensure that the tongue 122 corresponds to the slot and press the barrel cover 110 to complete the engagement. This will be inconvenient to use.

[0071] To solve this problem, a plurality of slots are connected to form a connecting slot 112. When in use, since the slot widths of the connecting slots 112 are equal at all locations, it is possible to ensure that the tongue 122 can be connected to the connecting slot 112 by directly pressing the barrel cover 110.

[0072] Obviously, the connecting groove 112 can be directly opened on the barrel cover 110 to reduce the difficulty of dispersed processing of multiple card slots.

[0073] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the latch tongue 122 and the barrel body 120 are hinged, and the rotation of the latch tongue 122 is configured to at least enable the latch tongue 122 to switch between a state of being inserted into the slot and a state of being disengaged from the slot.

[0074] For example, the tongue 122 and the barrel body 120 are hinged and form a hinge point, and the tongue 122 can rotate around the hinge point to make the tongue 122 close to or away from the slot, so that the tongue 122 enters or leaves the slot. Optionally, the storage opening 124 is provided at the upper end of the barrel body 120, and the tongue 122 can rotate in a vertical plane around the hinge point.

[0075] like Figure 4 As shown, on the basis of the above embodiment, the latch tongue 122 has a pointed end 1221 to facilitate the pointed end 1221 to be inserted into the latch slot, and the pointed end 1221 can play a guiding role.

[0076] Exemplarily, the tongue 122 includes a swing arm 1222 and a block, the lower end of the swing arm 1222 is hinged to the barrel body 120, the upper end of the swing arm 1222 is connected to the block, and the part of the block entering and exiting the slot is formed with a tip 1221.

[0077] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, one end of the barrel body 100 where the storage opening 124 is arranged is in a constricted shape.

[0078] For example, the cross-sectional area of ​​the barrel body 120 decreases from large to small and then increases from small to large from top to bottom. This structural arrangement not only facilitates the placement of sharp objects into the barrel body 100, but also can greatly reduce the spillage of sharp objects from the barrel body 100 if the barrel body 100 tips over during the placement of sharp objects.

[0079] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the side wall of the barrel body 100 is provided with a plurality of visible windows 121 .

[0080] For example, a visual window 121 is provided on the side wall of the barrel body 120, so as to facilitate observation of the remaining capacity in the storage cavity and timely replacement of the sharps barrel.

[0081] For example, the visual window 121 is extended from top to bottom to facilitate observation of the conditions in various parts of the storage cavity.

[0082] Optionally, viewing windows 121 are provided on both sides of the barrel body 120 , so that the barrel body 120 does not need to be adjusted during use and can be observed from any side of the barrel body 120 .

[0083] For example, the barrel body 120 is provided with a through groove, and a transparent scale plate is embedded in the through groove to form a visual window 121, so that the internal capacity of the barrel body 100 can be observed intuitively and accurately.

[0084] In all examples shown and described herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limiting, and thus other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0085] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, further definition and explanation thereof is not required in subsequent drawings.

[0086] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
