The outer diameter of the pressing portion gradually decreases from top to bottom, and the outer periphery of the pressing portion is provided with anti-slip protrusions. Clinically, after injecting insulin, medical staff or diabetic patients need to hold the insulin pen in one hand and the pressing portion of the needle holder in the other hand, and use both hands to put the two back together and twist out the used insulin needle holder. However, both hands are required to cooperate when rotating, resulting in low efficiency in removing the needle, and this operation is prone to cause needle stick injuries, especially occupational exposure, which is difficult to meet the clinical needs of medical staff.

[0034] Combine the following Figures 1 to 4 , describing an embodiment of the utility model.

[0035] Figure 1 A front view of a sharps box for storing an insulin pen needle holder provided by an embodiment of the utility model is shown; Figure 2 An exploded view of a sharps box for storing an insulin pen needle holder provided by an embodiment of the utility model is shown; Figure 3 A three-dimensional view of a top cover in a sharps box for storing an insulin pen needle holder provided by an embodiment of the utility model is shown; Figure 4 A top view of a top cover in a sharps box for storing an insulin pen needle holder provided by an embodiment of the utility model is shown.

[0036] According to an embodiment of the utility model, a sharps box for storing an insulin pen needle holder is provided, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the sharps box includes a bottom shell 1 and a top cover 2, the bottom shell 1 encloses a receiving chamber 11 for receiving a needle seat, and the top cover 2 is snap-fitted and installed at the opening of the receiving chamber 11 of the bottom shell 1. The top cover 2 is provided with a first body 21 and a second body 22 connected to each other, the second body 22 is arranged on the side of the first body 21 away from the opening of the receiving chamber 11, and the second body 22 of the top cover 2 is provided with a receiving opening 23, one end of the receiving opening 23 is connected to the outside, and the other end is connected to the receiving chamber 11, the receiving opening 23 encloses a clamping chamber 24, and the clamping chamber 24 is provided with at least a clamping protrusion 3, the clamping protrusion 3 is arranged on the inner wall of the receiving opening 23, and the clamping protrusion 3 is used to clamp the needle seat.

[0037] In this arrangement, by providing a storage port 23 on the top cover 2 and disposing a clamping protrusion 3 at the storage port 23, the medical staff holds the insulin pen and puts the needle seat end into the storage port 23 until the clamping protrusion 3 clamps the needle seat to fix the needle seat. Then, the medical staff holds the bottom shell 1 with one hand and uses the other hand to rotate the insulin pen body with one hand to separate the insulin pen body from the needle seat, leaving the needle seat in the clamping chamber 24, that is, the process of rotating the needle seat occurs inside the clamping chamber 24, avoiding direct contact between the needle and the medical staff during the process, thereby reducing the risk of stabbing the medical staff by the needle; and by providing the bottom shell 1 with a storage chamber 11 for accommodating the needle seat, after the needle seat is separated from the insulin pen body, the medical staff takes out the needle seat and puts it into the storage chamber 11 or other storage device.

[0038] It can be explained that the first body 21 has a through hole in the center, the bottom of the second body 22 is a thin cylinder, and the bottom of the second body 22 is bonded to the second body 22. At this time, the receiving opening 23 of the second body 22 is connected to the accommodating chamber 11 through the through hole of the first body 21.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, abutment protrusion 4 is further provided at the receiving port 23 , and the abutment protrusion 4 is provided at the entrance end of the receiving port 23 , and the abutment protrusion 4 is used to support the needle seat or the injection pen body.

[0040] By adding an abutting protrusion 4 at the receiving port 23, when the medical staff holds the insulin pen and places the needle seat into the clamping chamber 24, it is convenient to limit the depth of the needle seat entering the clamping chamber 24. The depth of the needle seat entering the clamping chamber 24 can also be specified in time to avoid the needle seat not being effectively clamped by the clamping protrusion 3, thereby improving the efficiency of detaching from the needle seat.

[0041] It can be explained that the arrangement form of the abutting protrusion 4 is not specifically limited.

[0042] As one of the implementation methods, Figure 3As shown, the abutting protrusion 4 is arranged obliquely, and the abutting protrusion 4 is provided with a first end 41 and a second end 42 , the first end 41 is connected to the entrance end of the receiving opening 23 , and the second end 42 extends toward one side of the accommodating chamber 11 .

[0043] In this configuration, by arranging the abutting protrusion 4 at an angle, the first section is connected to the first end 41 of the receiving opening 23 , and the second end 42 extends toward one side of the accommodating chamber 11 , so as to support the needle seat when the needle seat is placed in the receiving opening 23 .

[0044] It can be explained that the number of the abutting protrusions 4 is not specifically limited.

[0045] As one of the implementation modes, the abutting protrusion 4 is provided with one, and in this case, the abutting protrusion 4 is a semicircular ring, which effectively supports the insulin pen body or the needle seat.

[0046] Of course, in other optional embodiments, if the abutting protrusion 4 is smaller, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the abutting protrusions 4 are provided in plurality, such as two or more, and the specific number is determined according to the size of the abutting protrusions 4. At this time, the plurality of abutting protrusions 4 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction around the receiving opening 23.

[0047] In this way, by providing a plurality of abutment protrusions 4 and arranging the plurality of abutment protrusions 4 at circumferential intervals around the receiving opening 23, or using a semi-circular abutment protrusion 4, the uniformity of the support for the needle seat can be improved, the tipping over of the insulin pen body can be avoided, and the risk of puncture by the needle seat to medical personnel can be reduced when collecting the needle seat.

[0048] It can be explained that in order to achieve effective clamping of the needle seat while supporting the insulin pen body or the needle seat, the clamping protrusion 3 is arranged away from the receiving port 23 and close to one side of the accommodating chamber 11, and at the same time, extends in a square toward the central axis 25.

[0049] It can be explained that the arrangement form of the clamping protrusion 3 is not specifically limited.

[0050] As one of the implementation methods, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, one end of the clamping protrusion 3 is connected to the inner wall of the receiving opening 23, and the other end of the clamping protrusion 3 extends toward the central axis 25 of the clamping chamber 24 to form a convex strip.

[0051] It can be explained that there are a plurality of clamping protrusions 3 , and the plurality of clamping protrusions 3 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction around the receiving opening 23 .

[0052] Furthermore, if Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, one half of the inner wall of the clamping chamber 24 forms a first mounting section 241 , and the other half of the inner wall of the clamping chamber 24 forms a second mounting section 242 . A plurality of clamping protrusions 3 are mounted on the first mounting section 241 , and a plurality of abutting protrusions 4 are mounted on the second mounting section 242 .

[0053] In this way, by arranging the clamping protrusion 3 away from the receiving port 23 and close to one side of the accommodating chamber 11, and arranging the abutting protrusion 4 at the receiving port 23, it is ensured that the abutting protrusion 4 can effectively clamp the needle seat, and by installing multiple clamping protrusions 3 on the first mounting section 241 and installing multiple abutting protrusions 4 on the second section 242, the number of components can be reduced when the needle seat is effectively clamped, thereby reducing the production cost.

[0054] It can be explained that the ends of the plurality of clamping protrusions 3 close to the central axis 25 of the clamping chamber 24 are enclosed to form a clamping surface conforming to the outer wall of the needle seat.

[0055] Such an arrangement improves the degree of clamping of the needle holder by the sharps box by forming a clamping surface conforming to the outer wall of the needle holder, thereby avoiding slipping when the insulin pen body is rotated.

[0056] It can be explained that the shape of the clamping chamber 24 is not specifically limited. For example, the clamping chamber 24 is composed of one or more of a prismatic chamber, a cylindrical chamber, and a truncated cone chamber.

[0057] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the clamping chamber 24 is composed of two arc-shaped chambers with different radii, wherein the abutting protrusion 4 is installed in the arc-shaped chamber with a larger radial dimension, and the clamping protrusion 3 is arranged in the arc-shaped chamber with a smaller radial dimension.

[0058] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the accommodating chamber 11 is provided with an opening, and the top cover 2 is buckled and installed at the opening.

[0059] With such arrangement, by snapping the top cover 2 into place at the opening of the accommodating chamber 11 , it is convenient to disassemble the top cover 2 , thereby reducing the difficulty of installing the top cover 2 and the bottom shell 1 .

[0060] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, there is no specific limitation on the material of the clamping protrusion 3, which can be made of an elastic material, such as rubber. After the needle seat is separated from the insulin pen body, it is convenient to apply external force along the direction of the central axis 25 to press the needle seat into the accommodating chamber. Similarly, there is no specific limitation on the material of the abutting protrusion 4. In order to better limit the depth of the needle seat entering the clamping chamber 24, the abutting protrusion 4 can be made of a plastic material, such as plastic.

[0061] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the shape of the bottom case 1 is not particularly limited.

[0062] As one of the embodiments, the bottom shell 1 is configured to be columnar, such as a cylinder or a truncated cone, so that the sharps box can be placed in the hole provided on the treatment tray after the needle holder is stored, which makes it convenient for medical staff to carry the sharps box without having to bend over to place the sharps box inside the treatment cart.

[0063] When using the above-mentioned sharps box for storing insulin pen needle holders, the medical staff uses one hand to grasp the bottom shell and the other hand to hold the insulin pen body to put the needle holder end into the storage port until the clamping protrusion clamps the needle holder, then rotates the insulin pen body with one hand to separate the insulin pen body from the needle holder, leaving the needle holder in the clamping chamber, and then collects the needle holder.

[0064] Although the embodiments of the present invention are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art may make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations are all within the scope defined by the appended claims.
