Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical waste treatment, and in particular to an integrated device for sorting and cleaning waste needles and waste cotton swabs. Background Art

[0002] As acupuncture is recognized and widely used around the world, in clinical practice, we often have to deal with medical waste after acupuncture treatment. Acupuncture needles and cotton swabs are common medical waste, but they are often discarded at will after use, which not only pollutes the environment, but also brings safety hazards to the cleaning work and causes needlestick injuries. At the end of acupuncture treatment, cotton swabs are often needed to press the needle holes when removing the needles. After removing the needles, medical staff often put the acupuncture needles and cotton swabs into a portable container (such as Figure 1 ), and then sorted and placed in the corresponding medical waste containers. In the classification of medical waste, acupuncture needles are considered damaging waste and need to be placed in a sharps box, and cotton swabs are considered infectious waste and need to be placed in a medical yellow trash can. This classification process takes time, and if not handled carefully, it is easy to cause accidental stab injuries to the cleaning staff. In addition, when dumping medical waste, after the acupuncture needles are poured into the sharps bucket, the needle tips are facing upwards, which can easily stab the person dumping the sharps behind, increasing the risk of occupational exposure.

[0003] The current acupuncture needle storage box technology is mainly aimed at the recycling of acupuncture needles. It does not solve the problem of handling two different types of medical waste generated during the needle removal process in clinical practice, or it combines the two types of medical waste recycling devices. However, when dumping the waste, it is easy for the needle tip to point upward and stab the person dumping the sharp object behind, increasing the risk of occupational exposure.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need for an integrated device that can classify and safely recycle acupuncture needles and cotton swabs, clean up medical waste with one-touch operation, and reduce the occurrence of needlestick injuries caused by sharp objects pointing upward. Utility Model Content

[0045] In order to facilitate a better understanding of this project, the specific implementation of the project product will be described in detail below in conjunction with the attached drawings in the specification: When acupuncture is completed clinically, take the classification storage box to the patient's bedside to remove the needles. First, rotate the rotating top plate 1 of the storage box to the left so that there is an overlap between area b and area c, that is, open the top door of the waste needle storage bin 5, throw the waste needles into the bin, then rotate the rotating top plate 1 of the storage box to the right so that there is an overlap between area a and area c, that is, open the top door of the waste cotton swab storage bin 6, throw the waste cotton swabs into the bin, and after collecting them, rotate the rotating top plate 1 of the storage box so that there is no overlap between area a and area b and area c, that is, close the bin; when the storage box reaches a certain capacity, bring the storage box to the storage bin. The nurse station carries out classification processing, first aligns the bottom of the storage box with the upper opening of the sharps box, removes the bottom plate rotating switch 7 and turns on the switch, so that the rotating bottom plate 2 of the storage box rotates left to make the area b and area c overlap, that is, open the bottom door of the waste needle storage bin 5, and pour the waste needles in the storage box into the sharps box; then aligns the storage box with the upper opening of the contaminated trash can, rotates the rotating bottom plate 2 of the storage box to the right to make the area a and area c overlap, that is, open the bottom door of the waste cotton swab storage bin 6, and guide the waste cotton swabs into the contaminated trash can; finally, rotate the rotating bottom plate 2 of the storage box so that there is no overlapping part between area a and area b and area c, and locks the bottom plate rotating switch 7 to limit the arbitrary rotation of the rotating bottom plate 2 of the storage box.

[0046] 1. The storage box is made of transparent plastic and consists of 2 storage bins, a waste needle storage bin, a cotton swab storage bin, a top plate and a bottom plate. The opening and closing status of the bin door when the a and b surfaces overlap can be observed through the transparent storage box.

[0047] 2. Waste needle and cotton swab storage bins. The main function of the two bins is to collect used acupuncture needles and waste cotton swabs respectively. The two storage bins are an integral part, separated by a partition in the middle.

[0048] 3. The partition, whose main function is to isolate the waste needle storage bin from the cotton swab storage bin to prevent the medical waste in the two storage bins from mixing.

[0049] 4. The main function of the rotating top plate of the storage box is to control the opening and closing of the door on the top of the storage bin. During use, the bin mouth is opened by rotating the knob, and the medical waste is transferred into the corresponding storage bins. After the operation, the bin mouth can be closed to avoid exposure of medical waste or occupational exposure caused by dumping it out.

[0050] 5. The main function of the rotating bottom plate of the storage box is to control the opening and closing of the bottom door on the top of the storage bin. During use, the bin opening is opened by rotating the knob, and the medical waste is placed into the corresponding storage bins. After the operation, the bin opening can be closed to avoid exposure of medical waste or occupational exposure caused by dumping it out.

[0051] 6. The main function of the bottom plate rotary switch is to control the opening and closing of the bottom of the storage bin. When dumping medical waste, the corresponding bin opening can be opened or closed by rotating the knob, and the collected medical waste can be transferred to the corresponding medical waste bin. After the operation is completed, the bottom of the bin must be closed before it can be used again. This can avoid dumping acupuncture needles with the needle tips facing upwards, avoid needle injuries, and reduce occupational exposure rates.

[0052] 7. Rotation limiting fulcrum: the main function of this fulcrum is to cooperate with the rotation limiting track to limit the rotating top plate and the rotating bottom plate of the storage box to rotate only left and right, so as to prevent the door from being opened at will during use.

[0053] 8. Rotation limiting track: This track is mainly inlaid with the rotation limiting track. Its function is to cooperate with the rotation limiting track to limit the rotating top plate and the rotating bottom plate of the storage box to rotate only to the left and right, so as to avoid the random rotation of the rotating top plate and the bottom plate, which may cause confusion in the open and closed states of the switch.

[0054] 9. Storage box handle, easy to lift and place the storage box.
