DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] The utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0025] Example:
[0026] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 6 The sharps box disclosed in the utility model comprises a box body 1 and a box cover 2. A storage slot 3 for storing medical waste is provided on the top of the box body 1. The box cover 2 is clamped on the top of the box body 1. A discarding slot 4 connected to the storage slot 3 is provided on the top of the box cover 2. A baffle 5 is rotatably connected to one side of the discarding slot 4 via a rotating shaft 14. A notch 6 is provided on the side of the baffle 5 away from the rotating shaft 14 and is connected to a cutting knife 7. A locking assembly 8 is provided on the side of the discarding slot 4 close to the cutting knife 7.
[0027] In this embodiment, when in use, the baffle 5 in the box cover 2 is lifted, and then the medical waste is thrown into the storage tank 3 through the discarding slot 4, and finally the baffle 5 is closed to complete the storage of the medical waste.
[0028] When discarding the infusion set, because the infusion set itself is relatively long, if it is rolled up and thrown in, the puncture part of the infusion set is easy to injure the medical staff, thus causing cross infection, so it is necessary to first cut off the puncture part of the infusion set with sharp objects such as scissors or blades, and then put the infusion set into the storage tank 3. This method not only requires a pair of scissors or blades to be kept near the sharps box, but also requires finding scissors or blades when discarding medical waste, and disinfects them after use to avoid contamination, which undoubtedly increases the workload of medical staff.
[0029] So see Figure 5 It can be found that a notch 6 for accommodating medical waste is provided on the side wall of the baffle 5, and a sharp cutting knife 7 is connected in the notch 6, so that when discarding the medical waste that needs to be cut off, the baffle 5 is first lifted, and then the puncture device at one end of the infusion set is placed in the storage tank 3 through the discarding slot 4, and then the baffle 5 is covered, and the infusion tube of the infusion set is located in the notch 6, and finally the infusion tube is pulled to slide on the cutting knife 7, and the infusion tube is cut off by the cutting knife, so that the puncture part of the infusion set directly falls into the storage tank 3, and the medical waste is cut off. It allows medical staff to not need to always have sharp objects such as scissors or blades when using it, and the cutting knife 7 located in the notch 6 will not be taken out for independent use. At the same time, it is a disposable item like the sharps box, so it does not need special disinfection, which can effectively reduce the workload of medical staff and make the sharps box more convenient when in use.
[0030] According to the regulations for the use of sharps boxes, if the medical waste inside the sharps box exceeds two-thirds of the internal storage, it needs to be stopped from use, and the sharps box should be sealed so that it cannot be opened by conventional means to avoid spilling the medical waste inside. Figure 4 It can be found that when the sharps box needs to be closed, the baffle 5 can be engaged with the locking assembly 8 by pulling the baffle on the baffle 5, and then the baffle 5 can be locked by the locking assembly 8, which can effectively prevent the baffle 5 from retreating. Figure 2 It can be found that the left side of the baffle 5 is partially blocked by the box cover 2, so the baffle 5 can only be lifted up and opened, and cannot be pressed down. As a result, when the baffle 5 is engaged with the locking assembly 8, the baffle 5 cannot be separated from the locking assembly 8 by pressing down the baffle 5. This ensures that the sharps box cannot be opened after it is sealed, making the use of the sharps box safer.
[0031] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the locking assembly 8 includes a locking groove 81, an avoidance groove 82 and a locking block 83. The bottom of the inner wall of the discarding groove 4 on the side away from the rotating shaft 14 is concave to form a locking groove 81, and the inner top wall of the locking groove 81 is provided with an avoidance groove 82. The avoidance groove 82 is fixedly connected to the side of the baffle 5 with a locking block 83, and the top of the baffle 5 is provided with a slot 9 for snapping into the locking block 83.
[0032] In this embodiment, by setting the locking groove 81, when the baffle 5 slides into the locking groove 81, both sides of the baffle 5 are blocked by the box cover 2, which can prevent the baffle 5 from being opened, and preliminarily restrict the baffle 5 to prevent the medical waste in the storage tank 3 from falling. When the baffle plate 5 completely slides into the locking groove 81, the baffle plate 5 will gradually approach and squeeze the locking block 83. In order to allow the locking block 83 to remain flush with the inner top wall of the locking groove 81 when being squeezed by the baffle plate 5, so that the baffle plate 5 can be completely drawn into the locking groove 81, an escape groove 82 is provided on the inner top wall of the locking groove 81 at the top of the locking block 83, and the locking block 83 is connected to the inner side wall of the escape groove 82, so that when the locking block 83 is squeezed, the connection point between the locking block 83 and the escape groove 82 will bend, so that the locking block 83 is pressed into the escape groove 82, and then after the baffle plate 5 is fully inserted into the locking groove 81, the locking block 83 coincides with the position of the card slot 9 on the baffle plate 5. Figure 4 It can be found that the locking block 83 will pop out of the avoidance groove 82 and insert into the card slot 9 due to the rebound of the material after bending. The locking block 83 is used to prevent the baffle 5 from retreating, making the sealing operation of the sharps box simpler and the locking effect after sealing is better.
[0033] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the bottom protrusion of the locking block 83 is formed with a locking portion 10 extending out of the avoidance groove 82 , and the bottom of the locking portion 10 is gradually concave from left to right to form a guiding surface 11 .
[0034] In the present embodiment, the setting of the locking block 83 will block the baffle 5 when the baffle 5 is inserted into the locking groove 81, which increases the difficulty of inserting the baffle 5 and affects the sealing of the sharps box. Therefore, in order to reduce the interference of the locking block 83 on the baffle 5 when the baffle 5 is inserted into the locking groove 81, the bottom of the locking block 83 is gradually concave from left to right to form a guide surface 11, so that the baffle 5 can contact the guide surface 11 first when moving forward, and then gradually press the locking block 83 when sliding on the guide surface 11, applying upward pressure on the locking block 83, so as to press the locking block 83 into the avoidance groove 82, so as to make the sealing of the sharps box easier.
[0035] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 - Figure 5 As shown, the side wall of the baffle 5 is provided with a mounting groove 12 for placing the rotating shaft 14, and when the rotating shaft 14 is located at the rightmost side of the mounting groove 12, a gap for the baffle 5 to rotate is reserved between the side wall of the baffle 5 close to the discarding groove 4 and the inner side wall of the discarding groove 4, and when the rotating shaft 14 is located at the leftmost side of the mounting groove 12, the baffle 5 is completely inserted into the locking groove 81.
[0036] In this embodiment, because the baffle 5 needs to rotate relative to the box cover 2 and needs to slide in the discard groove 4 when sealing, an installation groove 12 is provided at the connection between the baffle 5 and the rotating shaft 14, and the length of the installation groove 12 is greater than the diameter of the rotating shaft 14, so that the rotating shaft 14 can slide in the installation groove 12 to adjust the position of the baffle 5.
[0037] So observe Figure 2 and Figure 3 It can be found that when the rotating shaft 14 is located at the rightmost side of the installation groove 12, the length of the baffle 5 extending out of the discarding groove 4 is the shortest. At this time, there is a gap between the right side wall of the baffle 5 and the right side wall of the discarding groove 4, so that when the baffle 5 is opened, it will not conflict with the inner wall of the discarding groove 4 and cannot be opened.
[0038] observe Figure 4 It can be found that when the rotating shaft 14 is located at the leftmost side of the installation groove 12, the length of the baffle 5 extending out of the discarding groove 4 is the longest. At this time, the baffle 5 can be inserted into the locking groove 81 and engaged with the locking assembly 8 to achieve the sealing of the sharps box.
[0039] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, the inner wall of the installation slot 12 is protruded to form a limiting portion 13 , and when the rotating shaft 14 is located at the rightmost side of the installation slot 12 , the limiting portion 13 blocks the rotating shaft 14 .
[0040] In this embodiment, because the baffle 5 can slide, and the baffle 5 needs to maintain stable rotation before the sharps box is sealed so that the baffle 5 can be easily opened to discard medical waste, a limiting portion 13 is provided in the mounting groove 12, and when the rotating shaft 14 is located at the rightmost side of the mounting groove 12, the limiting portion 13 blocks the rotating shaft 14 to prevent the rotating shaft 14 from sliding in the mounting groove 12 without the action of external force, thereby making the baffle 5 more stable when it is opened.
[0041] Since the limiting portion 13 does not block the rotating shaft 14, and its function is only to prevent the rotating shaft 14 from sliding in the mounting groove 12, Figure 5 It can be found that the limit portion 13 is a small protruding dot in the mounting groove 12. When the sharps box needs to be sealed, a rightward sliding force is applied to the baffle 5, and then the rotating shaft 14 can break through the limit portion 13 and slide to the leftmost side of the mounting groove 12, so that the sharps box is sealed.
[0042] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the depth of the notch 6 is less than the depth of the locking groove 81 , so that when the baffle 5 is inserted into the locking groove 81 , the notch 6 completely enters the locking groove 81 .
[0043] In this embodiment, by making the depth of the notch 6 smaller than the depth of the locking groove 81, the baffle 5 can be inserted into the locking groove 81. Figure 4 As shown, the notch 6 is completely blocked by the box cover 2 , which can prevent medical waste from leaking out along the gap of the notch 6 .
[0044] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the cutting knife 7 is gradually tilted downward from left to right so that the blade of the cutting knife 7 faces the inside of the discarding groove 4.
[0045] In this embodiment, because the cutting knife 7 applies a lateral force to the cutting knife 7 when cutting the object, the cutting knife 7 slides when cutting the object, and the object can be cut more easily. In addition, because the cutting knife 7 is fixed in the notch 6 and cannot move, only the infusion set waiting to be cut can be moved. Therefore, in order to improve the cutting effect of the cutting knife 7, the cutting knife 7 is tilted downward from left to right. At this time, the cutting knife 7 is observed. Figure 6 It can be found from the force diagram that when the infusion tube is pulled, there is an upward force on the infusion tube, and this force will be converted by the inclined surface of the inclined cutting knife 7 into a force A parallel to the inclined surface and a force B moving to the left, so that when the infusion tube is cut, under the action of the force B, the infusion tube will move to the left, and then under the action of the force A, the incision will move along the inclined surface of the cutting knife 7, so that the cutting depth of the cutting knife 7 is greater, which can effectively improve the cutting effect of the cutting knife 7.
[0046] The embodiments of this specific implementation method are all preferred embodiments of the utility model, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
