Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field related to medical waste recycling, in particular to an ampoule crushing device capable of separating residual liquid in an empty ampoule. Background Art

[0002] During drug injections in medical institutions, empty ampoules and residual liquid from injectable anesthetics need to be recovered and destroyed after use. This practice is primarily intended to prevent anesthetics and Class I psychotropic drugs from entering illegal channels and ensure medication safety. Today, large general hospitals, across their wards and anesthesiology departments, collectively use approximately 500 to 600 injectable anesthetics daily, resulting in a significant number of empty ampoules. This large number of empty ampoules requires significant time and effort for the pharmacy department to store, destroy, and verify residual liquid levels, necessitating the use of a crushing device to pulverize and recover the empty ampoules.

[0003] Traditionally, when crushing empty ampoules, hammer crushing or turbine crushing is mostly used. When the empty ampoule is crushed, there may be residual liquid in the bottle. The crushed fragments are mixed with the residual liquid, resulting in the inability to calculate the amount of residual liquid. As a result, the pharmacist needs to further separate the fragments and residual liquid, making the pharmacist's work cumbersome. Utility Model Content

[0032] In detail, in this embodiment, the ampoule crushing device capable of separating the residual liquid in the empty ampoule described in the utility model is adopted. When in use, after the empty ampoule is put into the funnel 2, the crushing device and the driving member are started to work synchronously, so that the crushing device crushes the fallen empty ampoule, and the crushed fragments fall into the centrifugal member. The fragments and residual liquid in the centrifugal member are separated under the action of centrifugation, so that the residual liquid is thrown out of the centrifugal member and flows into the bottom of the collecting box 6 under the action of the collecting box 6 for collection, so as to achieve rapid separation of the fragments and residual liquid after the empty ampoule is crushed, and the residual liquid in the empty ampoule can be extracted for collection and the total liquid volume can be displayed.

[0033] As a further solution of this utility model, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 The pulverizing device includes symmetrically arranged pulverizing rollers 4, the pulverizing rollers 4 are rotatably connected to the discharge end, and one of the pulverizing rollers 4 is driven to rotate by a first motor 3 fixedly mounted outside the discharge end;

[0034] The two crushing rollers 4 are rotationally connected via a first gear set 5 .

[0035] Preferably, the crushing roller 4 is provided with a toothed blade, which looks like a pineapple.

[0036] After the empty ampoule is put into the funnel 2, the first motor 3 and the second motor 11 are started to work synchronously. The output shaft of the first motor 3 is fixedly connected to one of the crushing rollers 4. Under the action of the first gear set 5, the two crushing rollers 4 rotate relative to each other, so that the toothed blades on the crushing rollers 4 squeeze the empty ampoule to meet the requirement of crushing the empty ampoule.

[0037] As a further solution of this utility model, please refer to Figure 4 The centrifugal element includes a drum 7 rotatably mounted on the collecting box 6 , and a plurality of through holes 701 are distributed along the circumference of the drum 7 .

[0038] Preferably, a gap is formed between the rotating drum 7 and the collecting box 6 for liquid to flow.

[0039] To elaborate, the fragments after the empty ampoule is crushed fall into the rotating drum 7 under the action of gravity. Driven by the driving member, the rotating drum 7 rotates relative to the collecting box 6. When the fragments rotate, they are subjected to centrifugal force, so that the residual liquid in the rotating drum 7 on the fragments is thrown out of the rotating drum 7 through the through hole 701, and is blocked by the inner wall of the collecting box 6 and gathers at the bottom of the collecting box 6, so as to achieve rapid separation of the fragments and residual liquid after the empty ampoule is crushed.

[0040] As a further solution of this utility model, please refer to Figure 4The driving member includes a transmission shaft 8 rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 1 , the transmission shaft 8 is arranged along the axial direction of the rotating drum 7 , the transmission shaft 8 passes through the bottom of the collecting box 6 and is fixedly connected to the rotating drum 7 ;

[0042] While the first motor 3 is working, the second motor 11 is started to work synchronously. The output shaft of the second motor 11 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 10, so that when the output shaft rotates, the drive shaft 10 is driven to rotate accordingly. Under the transmission action of the second bevel gear set 9, the transmission shaft 8 is driven to rotate. When the transmission shaft 8 rotates, the rotating drum 7 is driven to rotate synchronously to meet the rotation requirement of the rotating drum 7.

[0043] Preferably, a liquid outlet 601 is provided at an eccentric position on the bottom of the collecting box 6 , mainly to avoid interference with the transmission shaft 8 .

[0044] Preferably, the mounting frame 1 is detachably mounted with a measuring cup 12 , and the measuring cup 12 is aligned with the liquid outlet 601 .

[0045] Preferably, the measuring cup 12 is formed with scale.

[0046] The residual liquid in the collection box 6 is collected at the liquid outlet 601 under the action of gravity and falls into the measuring cup 12 to extract the residual liquid. The pharmacist can obtain the amount of residual liquid by reading the scale on the measuring cup 12, thereby reducing the risk of anesthetic management.
