[0018] Example 1
[0019] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the sharps box for unloading insulin pen needles of this embodiment includes an outer box 1, a collecting box 2, a first clamping plate 3, a second clamping plate 4, a connecting rod 5 and a push rod 6.
[0020] The outer box 1 is a hollow structure with an open upper end, and a side opening 11 is provided on a side wall of the outer box 1 .
[0021] The upper end of the collecting box 2 is open, and it is placed in the outer box 1 through the side opening 11 of the outer box 1 . A pull ring is provided on the outer surface of the collecting box 2 to facilitate taking the collecting box 2 out of the outer box 1 .
[0022] The first clamping plate 3 and the second clamping plate 4 are both arranged in the outer box 1 and located just above the collection box 2. The first clamping plate 3 is connected to the inner wall of the outer box 1 through a connecting rod 5. The second clamping plate 4 is arranged relative to the first clamping plate 3. A first through hole 12 is arranged above the side wall of the outer box 1. The first through hole 12 and the side opening 11 are located on the same side wall. One end of the push rod 6 extends into the outer box 1 from the first through hole 12 and is connected to the plate surface of the second clamping plate 4. Pushing the push rod 6 can make the second clamping plate 4 approach the first clamping plate 3, and pulling the push rod 6 can make the second clamping plate 4 move away from the first clamping plate 3. A push handle 62 is arranged at the end of the push rod 6 located at the outer box 1, and the push handle 62 is used to facilitate pushing or pulling the second clamping plate 4 to move.
[0023] The first splint 3 and the second splint 4 of this embodiment are both in a "C" shape, the concave surfaces of the first splint 3 and the second splint 4 are opposite, the convex surface of the first splint 3 is connected to the end of the connecting rod 5, and the convex surface of the second splint 4 is connected to the end of the push rod 6. The splint of this shape is adapted to the circular structure of the insulin pen needle. The concave surfaces of the first splint 3 and the second splint 4 are both provided with anti-slip lines 9 to increase the friction between the splint and the surface of the insulin pen needle. When disassembling the insulin pen needle, the needle is placed between the first splint 3 and the second splint 4, and the needle is attached to the board surface of the first splint 3, and then the push handle 62 is pushed so that the second splint 4 and the first splint 3 clamp the needle, and then the insulin pen is rotated and the needle is separated from the insulin pen, and then the push handle 62 is pulled so that the second splint 4 leaves the needle, and under the action of gravity, the needle will fall into the collection box 2, so that the needle is collected and will not be randomly discarded into domestic garbage, reducing the risk of sanitation workers being stabbed by needles. When there are many needles stored in the collection box 2, the collection box 2 can be taken out, and the needles inside it can be poured into a storage box for placing needles and then discarded and marked as sharp objects.
[0024] On the basis of the above structure, the sharps box of this embodiment further includes a baffle 7 and a spring 8. The baffle 7 is arranged inside the outer box 1 and above the collecting box 2, the baffle 7 is located beside the second clamping plate 4, and its two ends are respectively connected to the inner wall of the outer box 1, the baffle 7 is provided with a second through hole 71 for passing the push rod 6, the second through hole 71 and the first through hole 12 are located on the same axis, and the second clamping plate 4 is blocked in front by the baffle 7. A limit block 61 is provided on the rod body of the push rod 6 located between the baffle 7 and the inner wall of the outer box 1 provided with the first through hole 12. The spring 8 is sleeved on the push rod 6 and located between the baffle 7 and the limit block 61. One end of the spring 8 is connected to the plate surface of the baffle 7, and the other end is connected to the limit block 61. When the push handle 62 is pushed, the spring 8 is compressed. At this time, the second splint 4 approaches the first splint 3. After letting go, the spring 8 releases the elastic force and returns to its initial state. In this process, the second splint 4 moves away from the first splint 3. In this way, when separating the second splint 4 from the needle, there is no need to pull the push handle 62, just let go, which improves the convenience of use.
[0025] A cover body 10 is provided at the upper opening of the outer box 1. A cover hole 101 for inserting an insulin pen is provided on the cover body 10. The cover hole 101 is located above the gap between the first splint 3 and the second splint 4. When the outer box 1 is accidentally turned over, the number of needles falling out can be reduced. The needle of the insulin pen can be inserted through the cover hole 101 on the cover body 10, or the cover body 10 can be removed for use.
[0026] Example 2
[0027] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, compared with Example 1, the sharps box of the present embodiment that can unload the insulin pen needle also includes a weighing plate 20, a pressure sensor 30, a control panel 40 and an alarm 50. The weighing plate 20 is arranged inside the collection box 2; the pressure sensor 30 is arranged below the weighing plate 20 and between the weighing plate 20 and the bottom of the collection box 2, and is used to measure the weight of the needle placed on the weighing plate 20 in real time; the control panel 40 is arranged on the outer wall of the collection box 2, and a central processing unit 60 and a power module 90 are arranged inside it, and a display screen 70 and an input button 80 are arranged on its surface; the central processing unit 60 is electrically connected to the pressure sensor 30, and is used to receive the measurement signal sent by the pressure sensor 30; the display screen 70 and the input button 80 are both electrically connected to the central processing unit 60, the display screen 70 is used to display the pressure value measured by the pressure sensor 30, and the input button 80 is used to input the pressure threshold of the pressure sensor 30 to the central processing unit 60. The alarm 50 is electrically connected to the central processing unit 60, and is used to sound an alarm when the pressure value is within the set threshold range. The power module 90 is used to provide working voltage.
[0028] In this embodiment, the central processor 60 can be a common single-chip microcomputer module in life, such as a single-chip microcomputer module with an STM32 series single-chip microcomputer as the core. The alarm 50 can be a signal indicator light.
[0029] When in use, first weigh a needle, then roughly calculate the number of needles when the collection box 2 is about to be full, and then multiply the number by the weight of a single needle. Then, according to the value, input the pressure threshold to the central processor 60 through the input button 80 on the control panel 40. When the weight of the needles in the collection box 2 exceeds the set pressure threshold, the central processor 60 controls the alarm 50 to sound an alarm (the signal indicator light flashes) to remind medical staff or family members to deal with the needles in the collection box 2 in time. In this way, there is no need for medical staff or family members to frequently check whether the needles in the collection box 2 are too full, thereby improving the convenience of use.
