Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to a medical device, and more particularly to a sharps cartridge. Background Art

[0002] Sharps containers are instruments frequently used in clinical practice to hold discarded ampoules, syringe needles, scalp needles and other used medical waste that may easily cause puncture injuries.

[0003] For example, the sharps barrel described in CN215438051 U generally includes a barrel body and a barrel cover; the barrel body and the barrel cover are stored separately before use, so that they can be stacked and the storage space can be reduced. In order to smoothly stack the barrels for storage, the size of the barrel is generally large at the top and small at the bottom, so that it is convenient to insert multiple barrels together for stacking. However, such a structure also causes the barrel body to be top-heavy after the sharps are loaded, and it is easy to overturn, causing the sharps in it to spill out from the sharps insertion port.

[0004] In addition, although multiple inlets are formed on the cover of the sharps barrel, such as a rectangular sharps inlet, a circular ampoule inlet, and a stepped syringe needle insertion and extraction port, in order to make it as applicable as possible. However, not every inlet can be used for a specific department or a specific usage scenario. The rectangular sharps inlet for inserting larger sharps (generally large ampoules, mouth mirrors, etc.) is not needed in many occasions. If the opening is always open, it will increase the risk of sharps spilling after the barrel is overturned. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above problems, the present application aims to provide a sharps tube that is easy to stack during storage and not easy to overturn during use; the present application aims to provide a sharps tube whose large sharps input port can be selectively opened or closed as needed.

[0006] The sharps barrel of the present application comprises: a barrel member and a cover member; the cover member is installed at the upper end of the barrel member; the cover member comprises a rectangular sharps insertion port; and the characteristics are:

[0007] A base is formed at the bottom of the barrel component; a plurality of slots extending laterally are formed on the base; a plate-shaped support foot can be slidably installed in each slot; and each support foot can be partially pulled out from the slot corresponding thereto.

[0008] Preferably, the plurality of laterally extending slots are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the base.

[0009] Preferably, the slot is formed as a T-shaped slot; and the support leg is formed as a T-shaped plate.

[0010] Preferably, the outer end of the slot forms a notch extending downward; the outer end of the leg forms a support block extending downward; when the leg is fully inserted into the corresponding slot, the support block is correspondingly inserted into the notch, so that the outer end surface of the support block is flush with the circumferential surface of the base, and the bottom surface of the support block is flush with the bottom surface of the base.

[0011] Preferably, the left and right side walls of the rectangular sharps inlet extend downward, and guide grooves are formed along the left and right side walls respectively;

[0012] A folding plate is installed in the rectangular sharps inlet; the first end of the folding plate is fixed on the rear wall of the rectangular sharps inlet; the left and right sides of the second end of the folding plate are respectively formed with protruding rods, the protruding rod on the left side of the second end of the folding plate is inserted into the guide groove of the left side wall of the rectangular sharps inlet, and the protruding rod on the right side of the second end of the folding plate is inserted into the guide groove of the right side wall of the rectangular sharps inlet; there is a predetermined friction force between each protruding rod and its corresponding guide groove.

[0013] Preferably, a handle protruding upward is formed on the upper side of the second end of the folding plate.

[0014] The sharps barrel of the present application increases the support width of the barrel body by partially pulling out the support legs from the slots, thereby increasing the stability of the sharps barrel and making it less likely to tip over. The sharps barrel of the present application has a rectangular sharps insertion port that can be selectively closed and can be closed when not in use. In this way, even if the sharps barrel tips over, the risk of sharps spilling will be reduced; and even if sharps spill, fewer sharps will be spilled. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0025] Below, the sharps barrel of the present application is described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] The sharps barrel of the present application comprises: a barrel member 10 and a cover member 20; the cover member 20 is installed at the upper end of the barrel member 10; the cover member 20 comprises a rectangular sharps insertion port 21 for inserting a larger ampoule, which are the same as the prior art.

[0027] A base 11 is formed at the bottom of the barrel member 10; a plurality of laterally extending slots 11a are formed on the base 11; a plate-shaped support leg 12 can be slidably installed in each slot 11a; each support leg 12 can be partially pulled out from its corresponding slot 11a.

[0028] A plurality of laterally extending slots 11a are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the base. If the cross section of the barrel member 10 is circular, the number of the slots is preferably 3 or 4; if the cross section of the barrel member 10 is square, the number of the slots is preferably 4, i.e., one slot is distributed on each side of the rectangle.

[0029] The slot 11a is formed as a T-shaped slot. The leg 12 is formed as a T-shaped plate. Figure 7 As shown, projections 12b are formed on both sides of the inner end of the support leg, thereby forming a T-shape. The T-shape is designed mainly to prevent the support leg from being completely pulled out of the slot and disengaging from the barrel member.

[0030] The outer end of the slot 11a forms a notch 11b extending downward; the outer end of the support leg 12 forms a support block 12a extending downward; when the support leg is fully inserted into the corresponding slot, the support block is correspondingly inserted into the notch, so that the outer end surface of the support block is flush with the peripheral surface of the base, and the bottom surface of the support block is flush with the bottom surface of the base. Figure 3 shown.

[0031] The left and right side walls of the rectangular sharps insertion port 21 extend downward, and guide grooves 21 a are formed along the left and right side walls, respectively.

[0032] A folding plate 22 is installed in the rectangular sharps inlet 21; the first end of the folding plate 22 is fixed on the rear wall of the rectangular sharps inlet 21; the left and right sides of the second end of the folding plate 22 are respectively formed with protruding rods 22b, the protruding rod 22b on the left side of the second end of the folding plate 22 is inserted into the guide groove 21a of the left side wall of the rectangular sharps inlet 21, and the protruding rod 22b on the right side of the second end of the folding plate 22 is inserted into the guide groove 21a of the right side wall of the rectangular sharps inlet 21; there is a predetermined friction force between each protruding rod 22b and its corresponding guide groove 21a, so that when the folding plate 22 is unfolded or folded, the corresponding posture of the folding plate can be maintained by the friction force. The folding plate 22 can be a plurality of thin plastic plates, and the plurality of thin plastic plates are connected by a thin film plastic with a certain flexibility.

[0033] A handle 22a protruding upward is formed on the upper side of the second end of the folding plate 22 to facilitate the operation of extending or folding the folding plate.

[0034] When not in use, the cover member and the barrel member can be stored separately. At this time, the legs of the barrel member are retracted in the slots; thus, the shape of the barrel member can still be kept large at the top and small at the bottom. Therefore, multiple barrel members can be inserted together up and down in sequence and stacked to reduce storage space.

[0035] When in use, the cover member is mounted on the barrel member; then, all the legs are pulled out from the slots, such as Figure 4 As in the example, the support width of the barrel member is larger, making the entire sharps barrel larger at the bottom and smaller at the top, more stable and less likely to tip over. After use, the support foot can be reinserted into the slot.

[0036] For situations where the rectangular sharps inlet is not needed, the handle can be operated to extend the folding plate to close the rectangular sharps inlet; the friction between the protruding rod and the guide groove at the second end of the folding plate allows the folding plate to remain in an extended state by the friction; in situations where the rectangular sharps inlet is needed, the folding plates are tightly folded together to open the rectangular sharps inlet as much as possible. Similarly, the friction between the protruding rod and the guide groove is used to maintain the tightly folded state of the folding plate. The setting of the folding plate increases the selectivity of the rectangular sharps inlet. When closing the rectangular sharps inlet, since the openings of the ampoule on the cover member after insertion and the syringe needle insertion and extraction port are very small, even if the sharps barrel is overturned, the possibility of the sharps spilling out is greatly reduced.
