Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical care, in particular to a medical care cotton swab auxiliary device. Background Art
[0002] In the field of medical care, cotton swabs, as basic and frequently used sanitary consumables, are widely used in wound cleaning, disinfection, sampling and other links. The convenience and hygiene of their use directly affect the efficiency and quality of nursing operations. Especially in hospitals, clinics and other medical places with dense personnel and frequent operations, how to achieve efficient and safe use of cotton swabs and avoid cross contamination has become an important consideration in the design of medical equipment. With the continuous improvement of the medical industry's requirements for infection prevention and control, the traditional cotton swab use method has been difficult to meet the strict standards of modern medical care due to the problems of taking out multiple cotton swabs at the same time and being susceptible to contamination. Therefore, the development of a medical care cotton swab auxiliary device that can achieve the precise introduction of a single cotton swab and ensure hygienic use is of great significance to improving the standardization and safety of medical care operations.
[0003] Existing cotton swab dispensing devices mainly use open containers and simple push-type structures. The open container is usually an open box or can, and medical staff directly grab the cotton swab from the container by hand. The push-type cotton swab box uses a spring or lever principle to push the cotton swab out of the outlet by pressing a button on the top or side of the box.
[0004] However, the existing cotton swab taking device has the problem that it is difficult to push out only one cotton swab at a time, and multiple cotton swabs are easily taken out at the same time, resulting in waste of cotton swabs and increased risk of cross-infection. When an open container is in use, the hands will frequently touch the cotton swabs in the container, and it is very easy for bacteria, viruses and other contaminants to attach to the cotton swabs, increasing the risk of cross-infection. At the same time, during nursing operations, the hands may easily take out multiple cotton swabs at one time due to panic, causing unnecessary waste. During the use of the push-type cotton swab box, the internal pushing structure is prone to uneven pushing force due to wear and jamming, and multiple cotton swabs may be pushed out at one time, causing these multiple cotton swabs to be exposed to the air or contaminated due to contact with the surface of other objects. Therefore, a medical care cotton swab auxiliary device is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

When a cotton swab needs to be taken during the nursing process, by rotating the knob 7, the knob 7 drives the rotating column 5 to rotate, and the gear 6 on the outer wall of the rotating column 5 rotates accordingly. Since the gear 6 meshes with the rack 9, the rotation of the gear 6 drives the rack 9 to move, thereby driving the slide plate 8 connected to the rack 9 to slide inside the cotton swab box 1, and the slider 14 on the side wall of the connecting plate 10 slides in the chute 13 of the limiting plate 12, playing a role in limiting and guiding. During the sliding process of the slide plate 8, when the notch 11 moves to a suitable position, one cotton swab between the baffle plate 3 and the partition plate 2 will fall into the notch 11. During the process of the slide plate 8 sliding out the cotton swab, it contacts and pushes the closing plate 26 to rotate around the connecting shaft 25, so that the closing plate 26 opens the corresponding channel, so that the cotton swab can be sent out of the cotton swab box 1, facilitating the medical staff to pick it up, thus achieving the effect of only pushing out one cotton swab each time. When the slide plate 8 resets, the closing plate 26 rotates back to its original position under its own gravity, closing the channel between the cotton swab storage space and the outside world, preventing dust and other impurities from entering, and playing a role in dust prevention and maintaining internal hygiene;
[0043] When storing the cotton swabs, the medical staff can observe the remaining situation of the cotton swabs through the viewing window 20. When the remaining amount of the cotton swabs is insufficient, the flip cover 18 is rotatably connected to the convex block 16 through the rotating shaft 17. The medical staff can open or close the flip cover 18 through the handle 19 to add the cotton swabs. At the same time, during the pushing process of the cotton swabs, when there are more cotton swabs, under the action of gravity, the cotton swabs can be arranged and stored orderly through the channel between the inclined plate 15 and the baffle plate 3. The box cover 21 is connected to the cotton swab box 1 by the way that the tenon one 22 is fitted into the mortise 24 and the tenon two 23. This mortise and tenon structure is firmly connected and convenient for disassembly and assembly. When opening the box cover 21, the inside of the cotton swab box 1 can be cleaned and maintained, thus achieving the effect of quickly adding and storing the cotton swabs and being convenient for maintaining the inside of the cotton swab box 1.
