Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.
[0028] It should also be noted that, in the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "disposed," "installed," "connected," and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, or internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0029] Example 1
[0030] This embodiment provides a surgical protection device for preventing sharp injuries, such as Figures 1 to 5The protective box 1 shown includes a movably connected lid 11 and body 12. A disinfectant spray 2 is movably disposed within the body 12, and a drive mechanism is provided on the lid 11 for driving the disinfectant spray 2 to move and spray the disinfectant. This design eliminates the inconvenience and potential infection risks of manual operation by driving the disinfectant spray 2 when the lid 11 is closed. The disinfection process is fully automated, ensuring that sharps can be disinfected promptly while stored, effectively reducing the risk of injury to medical staff from sharps. This provides a more efficient and convenient disinfection function based on the protective box 1.
[0031] Furthermore, a slide rail 122 is provided in the box body 12, and a mounting block 123 is slidably connected in the slide rail 122. The disinfectant spray 2 is obliquely mounted on the mounting block 123, and a reset mechanism 3 is provided between the mounting block 123, the box body 12, and the slide rail 122. The slide rail 122 provides a smooth moving path for the disinfectant spray 2 device, ensuring that the mounting block 123 can slide smoothly along the slide rail 122, avoiding jamming or position displacement during operation. The disinfectant spray 2 is obliquely mounted on the mounting block 123. This design ensures that the angle of contact between the pressing platform 111 and the nozzle is reasonable during the pressing process, ensuring that the nozzle can be effectively pressed down, thereby making the disinfectant spray more accurate and uniform. At the same time, the oblique design is also a prerequisite for reset.
[0032] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a pressing platform 111 mounted on the lid 11. Flanked by mating blocks 112 for controlling the reset mechanism 3, the pressing platform 111 is used to press the disinfectant spray 2 when the lid 11 is closed. The pressing platform 111 corresponds to the nozzle of the disinfectant spray 2. When the lid 11 is closed, the pressing platform 111 depresses the nozzle and triggers the spraying of disinfectant, ensuring successful disinfection every time. The mating blocks 112 control the reset mechanism 3, ensuring that the disinfectant spray 2 resets after use, preventing the nozzle from being continuously pressurized and extending the service life of the disinfectant spray 2.
[0033] Furthermore, the reset mechanism 3 includes a reset spring 31, a retaining groove 32, and a spring catch 33. The reset spring 31 is positioned between the mounting block 123 and the inner sidewall of the box body 12. The retaining groove 32 is located in the sidewall where the slide rail 122 is located. Spring catches 33 that mate with the retaining grooves 32 are provided on both sides of the mounting block 123. The reset mechanism 3 disengages the spring catches 33 from the retaining grooves 32 through the compression of the mating block 112, allowing the disinfectant spray 2 assembly to move backward along the slide rail 122 under the action of the pressing platform 111. Subsequently, when the box lid 11 is opened, the elastic force of the reset spring 31 pushes the mounting block 123 forward, returning the disinfectant spray 2 assembly to its initial position and ensuring readiness for the next operation. The coordinated action of the retaining groove 32 and the spring catch 33 also ensures the stability of the mounting block 123 during sliding, preventing operational failures caused by misalignment. The reset mechanism 3 simplifies the reset operation of the disinfectant spray 2, improves the automation level of the device, and makes the disinfection process more efficient and smoother.
[0034] Specific application cases:
[0035] During surgery, medical staff need a safe, hygienic, and efficient tool management and placement protector to properly store and promptly disinfect sharp instruments after use. The sharps injury protection device of this embodiment can easily and efficiently complete the disinfection of sharp instruments, ensuring the safety of medical staff. The following is the principle and usage of this embodiment:
[0036] 1. The lid 11 is closed
[0037] (1) Spray function with lid closed:
[0038] As the lid 11 is about to close, the pressing platform 111 begins to press down on the nozzle of the disinfectant spray 2. Due to the engagement of the spring catch 33 with the retaining groove 32, the position of the disinfectant spray 2 and the mounting block 123 remains fixed. While the nozzle is pressed, the entire disinfectant spray 2 assembly and the mounting block 123 remain stationary. The downward pressure of the lid 11 forces the pressing platform 111 to press down on the nozzle, triggering the spraying of disinfectant, ensuring that the surface of the sharp object is disinfected.
[0039] (2) Disinfection spray rebounds and moves backward:
[0040] When the lid 11 is fully closed, the mating block 112 is further depressed. The inclined surface on one side of the mating block 112 forces the spring catch 33 inward. Since the outer surface of the spring catch 33 is also inclined, it can be freed from the restraint of the retaining groove 32. At this point, the mounting block 123 can move freely along the slide rail 122. Because the modulus of rigidity of the return spring 31 is lower than the modulus of elasticity of the spring inside the nozzle, when the pressing platform 111 continues to press against the nozzle, the nozzle's rebound force pushes the mounting block 123 backward along the slide rail 122, simultaneously compressing the return spring 31. (The nozzle's rebound force is greater than the force of the return spring 31, ensuring smooth backward movement of the mounting block 123 and facilitating nozzle reset.)
[0041] 2. Open the lid 11
[0042] Disinfectant Spray Reset: When lid 11 is opened, the pressure from pressing platform 111 is no longer applied, and the elastic force of return spring 31 pushes mounting block 123 forward along slide rail 122, returning the disinfectant spray assembly 2 to its original position. When mounting block 123 returns to its initial position, spring catch 33 re-enters retaining slot 32, securing disinfectant spray 2 in its correct position and preparing for the next disinfection operation.
[0043] In summary, the device can automatically store and disinfect sharps during the opening and closing of the lid 11. This process is simple, efficient, and low-cost, requiring only regular replacement of a common disinfectant spray. The entire operation is very simple; medical staff only need to close and open the lid to automatically disinfect and safely protect sharps, effectively reducing the risk of sharp injury and infection.
[0044] Example 2
[0045] Reference Figure 6 Based on Example 1, Example 2 further optimizes the design of the placement tank 121. The placement tank 121 is equipped with a filtrate plate 124, and the box body 12 is equipped with a liquid collection drawer 125 that cooperates with the filtrate plate 124. The filtrate plate 124 is used to filter excess disinfectant generated during the disinfection process, preventing liquid from stagnating in the placement tank 121. The liquid collection drawer 125 effectively collects excess liquid, maintaining the cleanliness of the box. This design combines physical filtration with liquid collection, reducing the problem of disinfectant residue, improving the sanitation and safety of the device, and effectively preventing secondary contamination, making the device more hygienic and safe.
