Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the medical field, in particular to a sharp tool container magnetic base for recovering acupuncture needles. Background Art

[0002] Sharps boxes or sharps buckets are collection devices for medical waste, mainly used to hold syringes, various blades, scalp needles, suture needles, acupuncture needles, glass and other sharp instruments. During acupuncture treatment, the acupuncture needles used in treatment generally do not need to be bent or broken, and can be directly discarded into the sharps box or sharps bucket for recycling.

[0003] However, due to the long needle body, when thrown into a sharps box or sharps bucket, local peak-like accumulation is likely to occur. Subsequently discarded acupuncture needles are likely to fall out or protrude from the outside of the sharps box or sharps bucket, posing an occupational exposure risk of accidental injuries.

[0004] The Chinese patent with the current announcement number CN209967291U discloses a new type of sharp weapon box. The patent proposes a technical solution of "including a box body, the inner wall of the box body is connected to a guide plate through a rotating mechanism, the top of the box body is threadedly connected to a box cover, the top outer wall of the box body is provided with an external thread, the inner wall of the box cover is provided with an internal thread corresponding to the external thread, the box cover is provided with a needle removal entrance and an arc entrance arranged in a triangular arc shape, the box cover is rotatably connected to a baffle, and the top of the box cover is fixedly connected to a limiter."

[0005] Although this patent achieves the effect of changing the falling direction of acupuncture needles or other sharp instruments through the guide plate through the coordinated effect of the fixing ring, the guide plate and the box body, and realizes the function of changing the stacking form of acupuncture needles or other sharp instruments and avoiding the problem of peak-shaped accumulation, this solution is essentially a sharps box or sharps bucket with a special structure, which changes the original structure of the sharps box or sharps bucket. Therefore, when it is actually put into use, hospitals that already have ordinary sharps boxes will need to purchase additional ones, and the sharps box or sharps bucket body also needs to be properly recycled and disposed of, which incurs additional medical costs. Therefore, there are many areas for improvement. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a magnetic base for a sharps container for recycling acupuncture needles, which avoids random accumulation by adsorbing the acupuncture needles on the bottom and inner wall of the sharps recovery container, and makes it impossible for the acupuncture needles to be easily separated from the sharps box or sharps bucket, thereby reducing the risk of the acupuncture needles accidentally falling out and injuring people.

[0007] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] A magnetic base for a sharps container for recycling acupuncture needles, comprising a base and a sharps recovery container used in combination, wherein the sharps recovery container adopts a sharps box or a sharps bucket, which can be built into the base, and the base is provided with a highly magnetic magnet, so that after the acupuncture needles are placed in the sharps box or the sharps bucket, the acupuncture needles fit into the sharps box or the sharps bucket; the base adopts a box-shaped or cylindrical structure adapted to the sharps box or the sharps bucket, and when the sharps box or the sharps bucket is placed in the base, the side wall of the base fits into the outer wall of the sharps box or the sharps bucket; magnets are provided on the side walls and / or the bottom of the base; the base comprises a bottom plate, a fixed wall and a movable wall, the fixed wall is arranged on the bottom plate, and one side of the movable wall is connected to the fixed wall via a rotating shaft.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the magnetic base of the sharps container for acupuncture needle recovery using the above technical solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0010] 1. The utility model adopts the magnetic base of the sharps container for recycling acupuncture needles. After the sharps box or sharps bucket is docked with the base, the strong adsorption effect of the magnet is utilized. When the metal acupuncture needles are thrown into the sharps box or sharps bucket, they are adsorbed to the inner wall or the bottom, thereby achieving a fixing effect between the acupuncture needles and the sharps box or sharps bucket, so that the acupuncture needles will not be randomly piled up, thereby preventing the acupuncture needles from falling out of the sharps box or sharps bucket easily, and avoiding the risk of puncture injuries caused by the needles falling out easily, so as to achieve safety protection for medical staff.

[0011] Second, because the base and the existing sharps recovery container (sharps box or sharps bucket) are relatively independent, when the function of magnetic fixation is met, the base can also be disinfected, repaired or replaced separately to increase the reuse rate and reduce the hospital's use cost.

[0012] Since the overall structure of the base is compatible with the sharps box or sharps bucket, the degree of fit between the magnet and the sharps box or sharps bucket can be increased during docking, thereby increasing the adsorption effect of the magnetic base.

[0013] By setting magnets at different positions, acupuncture needles of different sizes can be adsorbed. For example, small-sized acupuncture needles can be adsorbed on the bottom of a sharps box or a sharps bucket, and large-sized acupuncture needles can be adsorbed on the inner wall of the sharps box or a sharps bucket. Magnet bases are set on the side walls and the bottom at the same time, which can be suitable for acupuncture needles of various specifications at the same time.

[0014] The base is opened by flipping the movable wall, making it convenient for medical staff to insert or replace the sharps recovery container.

[0015] Preferably, a first locking piece is provided on the inner side of the fixed wall away from the bottom plate, and a second locking piece is provided on the inner side of the movable wall away from the bottom plate. When the fixed wall and the movable wall are butted, the first locking piece and the second locking piece together form a locking portion that can surround and wrap the opening of the sharps box or sharps bucket. After the movable wall is flipped over to install the sharps box or sharps bucket on the base, the sharps box or sharps bucket cannot be detached from the top of the base due to the limiting effect of the locking portion. Combined with the blocking effect of the bottom plate, the fixed wall and the movable wall, the sharps box or sharps bucket cannot be easily detached from all directions.

[0016] Preferably, a locking rod is provided on the side of the movable wall away from the rotating shaft, a locking groove is provided on the side of the fixed wall away from the rotating shaft, a locking block is provided in the locking groove, a spring is provided between the locking block and the locking groove, a locking hole adapted to the locking block is provided on the locking rod, a linkage is provided in the locking groove, after the locking rod enters the locking groove and contacts the linkage, the locking block automatically enters the locking hole, and a sliding button for connecting with the locking block is provided on the fixed wall. By docking the locking block and the locking hole, the displacement of the locking rod is blocked by the locking block, so that the locking of the fixed wall and the movable wall is achieved, thereby achieving a stable connection between the base and the sharps recovery container, and preventing the sharps recovery container from detaching.

[0017] Preferably, the linkage is a blocking rod made of elastic material, and the blocking rod is horizontally arranged on the side of the lock block away from the spring, and the lock rod gradually presses the blocking rod after entering the lock groove. By utilizing the elasticity of the elastic material, during the process of the lock rod pressing the blocking rod, the blocking rod gradually contracts and releases the blocking effect on the lock block, and when the lock hole moves to the lock block, the spring can be directly inserted into the lock hole to achieve the effect of automatic locking, which is convenient for medical staff to quickly complete the preliminary preparation work, thereby improving the work efficiency of medical staff.

[0018] Preferably, the fixed wall is detachably connected to the edge of the bottom plate. Since the fixed wall and the bottom plate are relatively independent, they can be repaired or replaced separately to increase the service life of the magnetic base, increase its reuse rate, and reduce the cost of use.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 6 The sharps container magnetic base for acupuncture needle recovery shown includes a base 1 and a sharps recovery container used in conjunction therewith. The sharps recovery container adopts a sharps box or a sharps bucket 0 in the prior art.

[0028] The base 1 adopts a box-shaped or cylindrical structure that is compatible with the sharps box or sharps bucket 0, that is, the sharps box or sharps bucket 0 can be applicable to this case, and the specific shape of the base 1 can be adaptively adjusted.

[0029] The base 1 includes a bottom plate 10 , a fixed wall 11 and a movable wall 12 . The fixed wall 11 is disposed on the bottom plate 10 , and one side of the movable wall 12 is connected and locked to the fixed wall 11 via a rotating shaft 13 .

[0030] The base 1 is provided with a highly magnetic magnet 2. As for the specific location of the magnet 2, it can be set on the side wall of the base 1, or on the bottom of the bottom, or on both the side wall and the bottom. That is, in this case, magnets 2 are provided on the bottom plate 10, the inner sides of the fixed wall 11 and the movable wall 12.

[0031] The sharps bucket 0 and the base 1 are detachably connected. Regarding the connection structure between the sharps bucket 0 and the base 1, it is mainly that the sharps bucket 0 is built into the base 1, and when docked, the fixed wall 11 of the base 1 fits with the outer wall of the sharps bucket 0. It can be through a snap-on structure or a bonding or clamping structure.

[0032] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the replacement of the sharps bucket 0 while satisfying the fixing effect, a first locking piece 30 is provided on the inner side of the fixed wall 11 away from the bottom plate 10, and a second locking piece 31 is provided on the inner side of the movable wall 12 away from the bottom plate 10. When the fixed wall 11 and the movable wall 12 are connected, the first locking piece 30 and the second locking piece 31 jointly form a locking portion 3 that can surround and wrap the opening of the sharps box or the sharps bucket 0, that is, when the movable wall 12 is in a flipped open state, the sharps bucket 0 can be placed therein from one side of the base 1, and the locking portion 3 limits the upward movement of the sharps bucket 0.

[0033] Regarding the locking structure, specifically, a locking rod 4 is provided on the side of the movable wall 12 away from the rotating shaft 13, a locking groove 5 is provided on the side of the fixed wall 11 away from the rotating shaft 13, a locking block 6 is provided in the locking groove 5, and a spring 60 is provided between the locking block 6 and the locking groove 5, a locking hole 40 adapted to the locking block 6 is provided on the locking rod 4, and a linking piece is also provided in the locking groove 5. After the locking rod 4 enters the locking groove 5 and contacts the linking piece, the locking block 6 automatically enters the locking hole 40, and a sliding button 7 for connecting with the locking block 6 is also provided on the fixed wall 11.

[0034] The role of the linkage in this case is to automatically release the lock block 6 and move it into the lock hole 40. It can be a baffle rod 8 with a spring 60, or a baffle rod 8 made of elastic material. In this embodiment, one of the methods is adopted, specifically, the baffle rod 8 is made of elastic silicone, and the baffle rod 8 is horizontally arranged on the side of the lock block 6 away from the spring 60. After the lock rod 4 enters the lock groove 5, the baffle rod 8 is gradually pressed.

[0035] In addition, in order to meet the subsequent service life of the magnetic base, the fixed wall 11 and the edge of the bottom plate 10 are detachably connected, and the two can be disassembled for maintenance or replacement separately. The specific connection structure can adopt the plug-in structure or the screw-on structure of the prior art. Figure 6 Adopt plug-in method.

[0036] The following is the usage of this embodiment:

[0037] When not in use, the fixed wall 11 and the movable wall 12 are in a docked and locked state, and the internal locking state is as follows: Figure 5 First, slide the slide button 7, the spring 60 is forced to shrink, and the lock block 6 smoothly disengages from the lock hole 40 to unlock. At this time, the movable wall 12 can be rotated to make the lock rod 4 disengage from the lock groove 5, and the control of the slide button 7 is maintained for a while, so that the elastic blocking rod 8 is reset, and the lock rod 4 limits the lock block 6.

[0038] After the movable wall 12 is flipped open, the interior of the base 1 is exposed, and the medical staff can place the sharps bucket 0 from one side of the base 1, and the opening of the sharps bucket 0 is located at the first locking piece 30. Then the movable wall 12 is rotated to allow the locking rod 4 to re-enter the locking groove 5. At this time, due to the limiting effect of the locking rod 4 on the locking block 6, the locking block 6 will not block the displacement of the locking rod 4. As the locking rod 4 gradually presses the elastic blocking rod 8, the blocking rod 8 gradually moves away from the locking block 6 until the locking block 6 is located at the locking hole 40, and the spring 60 drives the locking block 6 to re-enter the locking hole 40, thereby achieving the locking of the fixed wall 11 and the movable wall 12.

[0039] At this time, the first clamping piece 30 and the second clamping piece 31 together form a clamping portion 3 that can surround and wrap the opening of the sharps box or sharps bucket 0, and at the same time, the bottom and outer wall of the sharps bucket 0 are both in contact with the magnet 2, completing the docking of the sharps bucket 0 and the base 1. Medical staff can perform acupuncture treatment. When the acupuncture needle is placed in the sharps bucket 0, due to the adsorption effect of the magnet 2, the end of the acupuncture needle will be in contact with the bottom of the sharps bucket 0, and the needle body of the acupuncture needle will be in contact with the inner wall of the sharps bucket 0.

[0040] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. A person skilled in the art may make several modifications and improvements without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements shall also be regarded as within the protection scope of the present invention.
