Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical equipment, and in particular provides a waste liquid collection device. Background Art

[0002] At present, various medical testing instruments in the hospital laboratory are in long-term operation in daily work, including biochemical analyzers, blood routine analyzers, coagulation analyzers, etc. These medical testing instruments will continuously generate harmful waste liquid during operation. In order to avoid waste liquid pollution, it is necessary to collect the waste liquid. For hospitals with conditions for laying sewage pipes, the waste liquid pipes of the testing instruments are usually directly connected to the sewage pipes, and transported to the sewage treatment station through the sewage pipes.

[0003] For places where there are no conditions for laying sewage pipes, simple plastic buckets are generally used to collect waste liquids, and then the waste liquids are manually poured into the sewage pipes. When treating waste liquids in this way, the testing equipment must be shut down before proceeding. Otherwise, the continuous discharge of waste liquid will cause pollution to the testing site and affect the use of the testing equipment. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the embodiments of the present application is to provide a waste liquid collection device to solve the technical problem in the prior art that the testing instrument must be shut down before the waste liquid can be treated.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted in the present application is: to provide a waste liquid collection device connected to the end of the waste liquid pipe of the testing instrument, the waste liquid collection device comprising:

[0006] The body has a receiving cavity and a lateral opening, the receiving cavity is connected to the outside through the lateral opening, and a liquid inlet hole is also provided on the top of the body, and the liquid inlet hole is used to connect a waste liquid pipe;

[0007] A water tank extends into the accommodating cavity from a lateral opening. The water tank includes a liquid inlet and a float assembly disposed in the liquid inlet. The liquid inlet corresponds to the liquid inlet hole. A baffle is also disposed on the side of the water tank.

[0008] A water level alarm component, which is fixed to the fuselage and is used to detect the position of the float component and to sound an alarm when the float component moves to a preset position;

[0009] The tipping bucket assembly is connected to the fuselage. The tipping bucket assembly includes a tipping bucket, a gear set, a rack, a slide rail and a spring. One end of the tipping bucket is rotatably connected to the fuselage, and the other end of the tipping bucket is connected to the gear set. The gear set is meshed and connected to the rack. The rack is slidably connected to the slide rail. The spring is sleeved on the slide rail, and one end of the gear abuts against the baffle.

[0010] The waste liquid collection device provided by the embodiment of the present application is characterized in that the waste liquid flows through the liquid inlet hole of the fuselage through the waste liquid pipe, flows from the liquid inlet hole into the liquid inlet port below, and flows from the liquid inlet port into the water tank for collection. As the waste liquid in the water tank increases, the float assembly is driven to rise continuously. When the water level alarm assembly detects that the float assembly has reached a preset position, an alarm is sounded. The user can pull the water tank out of the fuselage, and the spring in a compressed state on the slide rail loses resistance and begins to release elastic potential energy along the slide rail, driving the rack on the slide rail to slide. The gear assembly rotates under the drive of the rack and drives the tipping bucket in the tipping bucket assembly to reverse to a horizontal state. At this time, the tipping bucket is just under the waste liquid pipe, thereby realizing temporary collection of the waste liquid. After the waste liquid in the water tank is processed, the user can reinsert the water tank into the accommodating cavity of the fuselage through the side opening. During the insertion process, the baffle drives the rack to move relative to the slide rail to compress the spring. At the same time, the gear assembly rotates under the drive of the rack and drives the tipping bucket to flip, thereby pouring the waste liquid temporarily stored in the tipping bucket into the water tank. When processing waste liquid in the water tank, the waste liquid can be temporarily stored by the tipping bucket, and there is no need to shut down the testing instrument, which can ensure the continuity of the working of the testing instrument and help to expand the use scope of the testing instrument.

[0011] In some embodiments, the float assembly includes a magnet float, a limiter and a guide, the limiter is connected to the top of the guide, the limiter is used to limit the rising position of the magnet float, the guide has a cavity for guiding the movement of the magnet float, and the magnet float is accommodated in the cavity.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiter can ensure that the magnet float moves within a specific height range, which can avoid the magnet float from rising excessively or exceeding the expected range; the magnet float moves in the cavity of the guide, which can ensure that the magnet float has a stable path when moving, thereby improving the stability and controllability of the waste liquid collection device.

[0013] In some embodiments, the body further includes a drainage funnel, which is connected to the outside through a liquid inlet hole, and the end of the waste liquid tube extends into the drainage funnel through the liquid inlet hole.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the end of the waste liquid pipe extends into the drainage funnel, so that the waste liquid can flow into the water tank under the guidance of the drainage funnel without being retained or spread inside the fuselage, which helps to reduce the pollution or damage of the interior of the fuselage by the waste liquid.

[0015] In some embodiments, the waste liquid collection device also includes a clamp, which is arranged at the liquid inlet and is used to clamp the waste liquid pipe.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the clamp is used to clamp the waste liquid pipe, which can effectively fix the waste liquid pipe to the liquid inlet hole, reduce the loosening or swinging of the waste liquid pipe, and help maintain the stability of the connection between the waste liquid pipe and the liquid inlet hole; at the same time, by firmly clamping the waste liquid pipe to the liquid inlet hole, the risk of waste liquid leakage can be reduced.

[0017] In some embodiments, the water level alarm assembly includes a reed switch, a buzzer, an LED light, a battery, and a resistor connected in series.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the reed switch can realize accurate monitoring and detection of the waste liquid water level. When the magnetic float rises to the highest position, the reed switch is closed by the magnetic force, so that the electricity in the water level alarm component forms a pathway, triggering the buzzer to sound an alarm, and triggering the LED light to light up, reminding the operator that the waste liquid has reached the preset height, which helps to take timely action to avoid waste liquid overflow or other problems, and helps to ensure the safe operation and management of the waste liquid collection device.

[0019] In some embodiments, the gear set includes a transmission gear, a reverse gear and a bucket gear, one end of the transmission gear is meshed with the rack, the other end of the transmission gear is meshed with one end of the reverse gear, the other end of the reverse gear is meshed with the bucket gear, and the bucket gear is fixedly connected to the bucket.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the power of the rack can be transmitted to the bucket through the transmission gear, the reverse gear and the bucket gear, driving the bucket to rotate to facilitate the dumping and treatment of waste liquid.

[0021] In some embodiments, the rack is provided with a limiting groove, the slide rail is provided with a limiting protrusion, and the limiting groove is adapted to the limiting protrusion.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the adaptation of the limiting groove and the limiting protrusion can effectively limit the movement range of the rack on the slide rail, avoid the rack from derailing during movement, and improve the safety of the waste liquid collection device.

[0023] In some embodiments, the water tank is provided with a recessed handle.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the groove handle can provide a foothold for the operator when inserting or pulling out the water tank, helping to reduce the risk of accidental sliding or hand slipping.

[0039] See also Figure 1 An embodiment of the present application proposes a waste liquid collection device 100 connected to the end of a waste liquid pipe 200 of a testing instrument. The waste liquid collection device 100 includes a body 10, a water tank 20, a water level alarm assembly 30 and a tipping bucket assembly 40.

[0040] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the body 10 has a accommodating cavity 11 and a lateral opening 12 , the accommodating cavity 11 is connected to the outside through the lateral opening 12 , and a liquid inlet hole 13 is also provided on the top of the body 10 , and the liquid inlet hole 13 is used to connect the waste liquid pipe 200 .

[0041] The body 10 may be a structure with a cavity such as a box or a box. The lateral opening 12 is provided on a side of the body 10 .

[0042] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the water tank 20 extends into the accommodating chamber 11 from the lateral opening 12 , and includes a liquid inlet 21 and a float assembly 22 disposed in the liquid inlet 21 . The liquid inlet 21 corresponds to the liquid inlet hole 13 , and a baffle 23 is also disposed on the side of the water tank 20 .

[0043] The water tank 20 can be a structure with a cavity such as a box body or a box body. The outer shell of the water tank 20 is usually made of plastic.

[0044] The water tank 20 has an outer plate 24 , and the height of the outer plate 24 matches the height of the lateral opening 12 . When the water tank 20 extends into the accommodating cavity 11 of the fuselage 10 , the outer plate 24 covers the lateral opening 12 .

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the water level alarm assembly 30 is fixed to the body 10 , and the water level alarm assembly 30 is used to detect the position of the float assembly 22 and to alarm when the float assembly 22 moves to a preset position.

[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the bucket assembly 40 is connected to the fuselage 10, and the bucket assembly 40 includes a bucket 41, a gear set 42, a rack 43, a slide rail 44 and a spring 45. One end of the bucket 41 is rotatably connected to the fuselage 10, and the other end of the bucket 41 is connected to the gear set 42. The gear set 42 is meshedly connected to the rack 43, and the rack 43 is slidably connected to the slide rail 44. The spring 45 is sleeved on the slide rail 44, and one end of the gear abuts against the baffle 23.

[0047] The tipping bucket 41 is a bucket-shaped structure with a cavity. When the water tank 20 is inserted into the fuselage 10, the tipping bucket 41 is in a vertical state, and the waste liquid does not contact the tipping bucket 41, and directly flows through the waste liquid pipe 200, the liquid inlet hole 13 and the liquid inlet port 21 into the water tank 20; when the water tank 20 is pulled out of the fuselage 10, the tipping bucket 41 is driven by the rack 43 and the gear set 42 to rotate from the vertical state to the horizontal state. At this time, the tipping bucket 41 is located below the waste liquid pipe 200, and the waste liquid in the waste liquid pipe 200 flows into the tipping bucket 41 for temporary storage.

[0048] In the waste liquid collection device 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application, waste liquid flows through the liquid inlet hole 13 of the body 10 through the waste liquid pipe 200, flows from the liquid inlet hole 13 into the liquid inlet port 21 below, and flows from the liquid inlet port 21 into the water tank 20 for collection. As the waste liquid in the water tank 20 increases, the float assembly 22 is driven to rise continuously. When the water level alarm assembly 30 detects that the float assembly 22 reaches a preset position, an alarm is sounded. The user can pull the water tank 20 out of the body 10, and the spring 45 in a compressed state on the slide rail 44 loses resistance and begins to release elastic potential energy along the slide rail 44, driving the rack 43 on the slide rail 44 to slide. The gear set 42 rotates under the drive of the rack 43, and drives the bucket 41 in the bucket assembly 40 to reverse to a horizontal state. At this time, the bucket 41 is just below the waste liquid pipe 200, so as to temporarily collect the waste liquid. After the waste liquid in the water tank 20 is processed, the user can reinsert the water tank 20 into the accommodating cavity 11 of the fuselage 10 through the side opening 12. During the insertion process, the baffle 23 drives the rack 43 to move relative to the slide rail 44, compressing the spring 45. At the same time, the gear set 42 rotates under the drive of the rack 43, and drives the bucket 41 to flip, and pours the waste liquid temporarily stored in the bucket 41 into the water tank 20. When processing the waste liquid in the water tank 20, the waste liquid is temporarily stored in the bucket 41, and there is no need to shut down the testing instrument, which can ensure the continuity of the working of the testing instrument and help to improve the use range of the testing instrument.

[0049] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the float assembly 22 includes a magnet float 221, a limiter 222 and a guide 223, the limiter 222 is connected to the top of the guide 223, the limiter 222 is used to limit the rising position of the magnet float 221, the guide 223 has a cavity for guiding the movement of the magnet float 221, and the magnet float 221 is accommodated in the cavity.

[0050] The magnet float 221 has magnetism and is able to float in the waste liquid.

[0051] The limiting member 222 may be a rod-shaped, sheet-shaped or other structure.

[0052] By adopting the above technical solution, the limit member 222 can ensure that the magnet float 221 moves within a specific height range, which can avoid the magnet float 221 from rising excessively or exceeding the expected range; the magnet float 221 moves in the cavity of the guide member 223, which can ensure that the magnet float 221 has a stable path when moving, thereby improving the stability and controllability of the waste liquid collection device 100.

[0053] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, in some embodiments, the body 10 further includes a drainage funnel 14 , which is connected to the outside through a liquid inlet hole 13 , and the end of the waste liquid pipe 200 extends into the drainage funnel 14 through the liquid inlet hole 13 .

The drainage funnel 14 is used to guide the waste liquid flowing down the waste liquid pipe 200 into the water tank 20 .

[0055] By adopting the above technical solution, the end of the waste liquid pipe 200 extends into the drainage funnel 14, so that the waste liquid can flow into the water tank 20 under the guidance of the drainage funnel 14 without being retained or spread inside the fuselage 10, which helps to reduce the pollution or damage of the interior of the fuselage 10 by the waste liquid.

[0056] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the waste liquid collection device 100 further includes a clamp 50 , which is disposed at the liquid inlet 13 , and is used to clamp the waste liquid pipe 200 .

[0059] like Figure 5 As shown, the reed switch 31 is installed outside the liquid inlet 21 of the water tank 20. When the magnetic float 221 rises to the highest position, the reed switch 31 is closed due to the magnetic force.

[0060] By adopting the above technical solution, the reed switch 31 can realize accurate monitoring and detection of the waste liquid water level. When the magnetic float 221 rises to the highest position, the dry spring 45 is closed by the magnetic force, so that the electricity in the water level alarm assembly 30 forms a pathway, triggering the buzzer 32 to sound an alarm, and triggering the LED light 33 to light up, reminding the operator that the waste liquid has reached a preset height, which helps to take timely action to avoid waste liquid overflow or other problems, and helps to ensure the safe operation and management of the waste liquid collection device 100.

[0063] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the rack 43 is provided with a limiting groove 431 , the slide rail 44 is provided with a limiting protrusion 441 , and the limiting groove 431 is matched with the limiting protrusion 441 .

[0064] By adopting the above technical solution, the adaptation of the limiting groove 431 and the limiting protrusion 441 can effectively limit the movement range of the rack 43 on the slide rail 44, avoid the rack 43 from derailing during movement, and improve the safety of the waste liquid collection device 100.

[0065] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the water tank 20 is provided with a groove handle 25 .

[0066] The groove handle 25 is a groove structure on the water tank 20. The groove handle 25 is arranged on the outer side plate 24.
