Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of sharps container technology, and specifically relates to a multifunctional sharps container. Background Technology

[0002] The primary function of sharps containers is to collect and safely dispose of medical sharps to reduce the risk of puncture wounds to healthcare workers and other personnel, and to ensure the proper handling of medical waste. Sharps containers are specifically designed to hold harmful medical waste, such as discarded medical sharps that can puncture or cut the human body, including needles, suture needles, and scalpels.

[0003] Currently, the design of sharps containers prioritizes safety and convenience. They are typically cylindrical structures made of rigid materials, offering excellent sealing and puncture resistance to ensure no leakage during normal use and transportation. Once sealed, the sharps container cannot be reopened without tampering, guaranteeing the safety of medical waste. Furthermore, sharps containers are usually pale yellow and clearly marked with warning signs and statements to remind users to exercise caution.

[0004] The existing sharps container structure requires a flat surface for actual use. This makes it difficult to move and prone to tipping over if not handled properly, posing a risk of occupational exposure. In addition, the existing traditional sharps container is only used to store waste needles, which is a relatively simple function. For cleaning needles, separate equipment is required for storage. As a result, the storage equipment for cleaning needles and waste needles has the disadvantages of large overall space occupation, inconvenient transportation, and high operating costs.

[0005] Based on the above analysis, this application designs a sharps container comprising two storage chambers. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a multifunctional sharps box to solve the shortcomings of traditional sharps boxes, such as inconvenience in carrying and limited functionality.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A multifunctional sharps container includes a container body and a rotating fixing base.

Detailed Implementation

[0031] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be emphasized that the following description is merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope and application of the present invention.

[0032] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides a multifunctional sharps container. The container includes a body 1 and a rotating base 2. The body 1 can be square or polygonal. The interior of the body 1 is divided into a first storage cavity 4 and a second storage cavity 5 by a partition. The partition is integrally formed with the body 1 or is a separate, detachable structure. The size of the first storage cavity 4 is equal to or slightly smaller than the size of the second storage cavity 5. The first storage cavity 4 is provided with a first cover 6 for opening or closing it. The second storage cavity 5 has an opening on one side and a cover 6 on the other side for opening or closing it. The second cover 7 is closed. Simultaneously, a pull-out box 8 with an opening at the top is housed within the second storage cavity 5. The opening of the pull-out box 8 is located on the side of the second cover 7. It is understood that the size of the pull-out box 8 should be adapted to the size of the second storage cavity 5 to ensure the compactness of the sharps container structure and the safety of its use. In this embodiment, the pull-out box 8 can be placed directly inside the second storage cavity 5, or guided and limited within the second storage cavity 5 by a limiting sliding component. This embodiment preferably uses the latter, that is, limiting sliding components are provided at corresponding positions of the pull-out box 8 and the second storage cavity 5. Figure 2As shown, in order to save costs, the limiting sliding component in this embodiment can be the commonly available drawer slide rail 24 component. It is understood that the first cover 6 and the second cover 7 should be hinged to the side of the corresponding storage cavity, and their size should be less than or equal to the size of the corresponding side. In order to facilitate opening, it is preferable to provide a suitable handle 3 on the first cover 6 and the second cover 7 respectively to facilitate the opening and closing of the cover. In this embodiment, in order to prevent the cover from loosening and opening during rotation, it is preferable to set a baffle (not shown in the figure) at the corresponding position of the first storage cavity 4 and the second storage cavity 5 to block and lock the cover in the closed state. The rotating fixing seat 2 is set on the outside of the box body 1. The box body 1 can be rotated by the rotating fixing seat 2 to switch the position of the first storage cavity 4 and the second storage cavity 5 relative to the user. In this embodiment, the rotating fixing seat 2 can be located at the bottom of the box body 1 or at the side of the box body 1. In this embodiment, it is preferable that the rotating fixing seat 2 is located at the side of the box body 1, so as to facilitate fixing and rotating the box body 1. The box body 1 can be suspended at the working position of medical staff by the rotating fixing seat 2.

[0033] In this embodiment, the first storage cavity 4 is preferably used to store cleaning needles, and the second storage cavity 5 is used to store waste needles.

[0034] In this embodiment, the first storage cavity 4 and the second storage cavity 5 are arranged side by side in the horizontal or vertical direction. At the same time, the first cover 6 and the second cover 7, which are disposed on the first storage cavity 4 and the second storage cavity 5, are respectively located on opposite sides of the box body 1. The first storage cavity 4 and the second storage cavity 5 can be switched by rotating the box body 1 180° relative to the rotating fixing seat 2. It can be understood that the side-by-side orientation of the first storage cavity 4 and the second storage cavity 5 is determined according to the initial placement state of the box body 1. That is, the initial state of the box body 1 is that the first storage cavity 4 and the second storage cavity 5 are distributed vertically, or the initial state of the box body 1 is that the first storage cavity 4 and the second storage cavity 5 are distributed horizontally.

[0035] Before use, clean needles and waste needles are stored in the pull-out boxes 8 of the first storage chamber 4 and the second storage chamber 5, respectively. Then, the box 1 is rotated onto the corresponding structure at the location where the medical staff works, such as the side of a cart, by rotating the fixing base 2. In the initial state, the sharps box can be in the position as follows: Figure 1 The horizontal state shown, or the state where the first storage cavity 4 of the sharps container is located at the upper end, can be specifically set according to the structure of the rotating fixing base 2. This embodiment adopts the latter, that is, in the initial state, the first storage cavity 4 of the sharps container is located at the upper end; according to Figure 1 It can be seen that when any storage cavity is located at the top, its corresponding cover is located at the top, which makes it easy to open and also prevents the items inside the storage cavity from scattering.

[0036] In use, the positions of the first storage chamber 4 and the second storage chamber 5 can be switched by rotating the fixed base 2, and the corresponding storage chamber can be opened as needed for operation; when there is a large amount of waste needles in the pull box 8, the waste needles in the pull box 8 can be poured into the designated recycling equipment through the opening for reuse. Of course, if necessary, the pull box 8 can also be replaced directly.

[0037] In summary, this embodiment achieves an integrated design for the storage boxes of waste needles and clean needles, solving the shortcomings of traditional sharps boxes, such as limited functionality, large space occupation, inconvenient handling, and high operating costs associated with using two separate devices to store waste needles and clean needles respectively. Furthermore, the sharps box can be fixed by a rotating fixing base 2, effectively improving its stability and reducing the risk of occupational exposure. The rotating fixing base 2 also allows switching the positions of the two storage chambers relative to the user, improving the ease of use of the box 1. In addition, waste needles are stored through a pull-out box 8, enabling the sharps box to be reusable. Therefore, the sharps box of this application has a compact structure, is convenient to use, and is reusable, possessing certain practical value and potential for promotion.

[0038] In this embodiment, to prevent the pull-out box 8 from falling out of the second storage cavity 5 during rotation and causing unnecessary incidents, a locking element 13 is preferably provided at the opening of the second storage cavity 5. This locking element 13 can lock the pull-out box 8 inside the second storage cavity 5. Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a locking element 13, which is a baffle that is hinged to the side of the box 1 at the corresponding position by a torsion spring. It can be understood that the hinge position of the baffle can be determined according to the size of the opening. In this embodiment, the opening size is approximately equal to the size of the current side, so the baffle is hinged to the side of the box 1. When the opening size is small, the baffle can be hinged to the edge of the latch. In use, after the pull-out box 8 is located in the second storage cavity 5, the baffle is pried open to make it snap inward towards the latch end, thereby blocking the pull-out box 8 and preventing it from coming out during rotation. The above is a schematic diagram of the structure of a preferred locking element 13 in this embodiment. Under the guidance of this embodiment, other feasible and reasonable structures that can achieve the same purpose as this embodiment are also within the protection scope of this embodiment.

[0039] The pull-out box 8 can be a disposable product or a reusable product; in this embodiment, the latter is preferred.

[0040] like Figure 4 and 6The diagram shown is a structural schematic of a reusable pull-out box 8 provided in this embodiment. The opening of the pull-out box 8 is provided with a sponge pad 9 that can close it. At the same time, the bottom of the pull-out box 8 is a pull-out structure, and the waste needle can enter the pull-out box 8 through the sponge pad 9 and be discharged through the bottom. The sponge pad 9 is preferably a single layer, which is fixed to the opening of the pull-out box 8 with adhesive or the like. The waste needle can enter the pull-out box 8 through the sponge pad 9. The sponge pad 9 can prevent the waste needle from falling out of the opening of the pull-out box 8 or from coming into contact with medical staff, thereby improving the safety of use.

[0041] The pull-out box 8 has a pull-out bottom structure, specifically including: a pull-out plate 10 at the bottom of the pull-out box 8; and grooves 11 on the inner walls of both sides of the pull-out box 8 corresponding to the direction of travel of the pull-out plate 10. Slide rails 12 corresponding to the grooves 11 are provided on both sides of the pull-out plate 10. Preferably, the slide rails 12 are integrally formed with the pull-out plate 10. Figure 5-6 As shown; with the cooperation of the slide groove 11 and the slide rail 12, the pull plate 10 can move relative to the pull box 8, thereby opening or closing the bottom of the pull box 8; in the initial state, the pull plate 10 closes the bottom of the pull box 8. When the amount of waste needles stored reaches a certain state, the baffle is pried open to release the pull box 8, and the pull box 8 is taken out from the second storage cavity 5. Then the pull plate 10 is pulled outward to open the bottom of the pull box 8 to realize the discharge of waste needles. The pull box 8 can be disinfected and reused.

[0042] Understandably, to ensure the proper functioning of the sharps container, a single sharps container can be equipped with multiple spare pull-out boxes 8 if necessary, for timely replacement.

[0043] Understandably, the material of the pull-out box 8 can be the same as or different from that of the box body 1, depending on the actual needs. In this embodiment, the pull-out box 8 and the box body 1 are preferably made of any one of polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The box body 1 made of this material is lighter and easier to support the rotating fixing seat 2.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the rotating fixed base 2 includes a rotating shaft 14 and a fixing member 15, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the rotating shaft 14 is disposed between the fixing member 15 and the box body 1. The rotating shaft 14 can rotate the box body 1 to a specified state, and the fixing member 15 can fix the box body 1 in a specified position. In this embodiment, the fixing member 15 can be at least one of a hook, a hanging ring 23 or a clip, depending on the fixing equipment available at the current working position of the medical staff.

[0045] like Figure 9The diagram shown is an exploded assembly diagram of the rotating shaft 14 provided in this embodiment. The rotating shaft 14 includes a shaft 16 and a bushing 17 that can be sleeved on the shaft 16. One end of the shaft 16 is fixed to the housing 1, and the other end extends away from the housing 1. A bearing 25 is provided on the shaft 16 near the housing 1, and a limiting protrusion 19 extending radially along the bearing 25 is provided on the shaft 16 away from the housing 1. One end of the bushing 17 is fixed to the fixing member 15, and the other end extends away from the fixing member 15. The bushing 17 has a limiting groove 11 for matching the limiting protrusion 19. The limiting groove 11 includes a first limiting groove extending axially along the bushing 17. The first limiting groove 20 and the second limiting groove 21, which are disposed at the end of the first limiting groove 20 and encircle the inner wall of the bushing 17, are used in the assembly process. During assembly, the limiting protrusion 19 first enters the bushing 17 at a designated position through the guidance and limiting of the first limiting groove 20. It can be understood that when the limiting protrusion 19 reaches the designated position, the bushing 17 can just fit onto the bearing 25 of the shaft 16. At this time, rotating the shaft 14 causes the limiting protrusion 19 to enter the second limiting groove 21. Under the action of external force, the limiting protrusion 19 can dynamically rotate a designated angle within the second limiting groove 21. In this embodiment, the length of the second limiting groove 21 is designed to ensure that the shaft 16 can rotate 180°.

[0046] To further improve the stability of the housing 1's rotation relative to the rotating shaft 14 and prevent the housing 1 from shaking, the rotating shaft 14 in this embodiment also includes a return spring 18. The return spring 18 is disposed at the end of the shaft 16 away from the housing 1. At the same time, a locking groove 22 is provided at the end of the second limiting groove 21, extending radially toward the housing 1. The depth of the locking groove 22 is sufficient to accommodate the limiting protrusion 19. After assembly, one end of the return spring 18 is sleeved on the shaft 16, and the other end abuts against the inner wall of the bushing 17 at the end away from the housing 1. In use, after the shaft 16 rotates relative to the bushing 17 to a specified angle, the limiting protrusion 19 located on the shaft 16 can be reset. The extension of spring 18 pushes the shaft 16 into the locking groove 22 to lock the shaft 16, thereby preventing the housing 1 from shaking and improving the stability of the housing 1 in the current state (the current state is when the housing 1 is rotated to the position of the first storage cavity 4 at the top or the second storage cavity 5 at the top). When rotation is required, the deformation force of the return spring 18 is overcome to push the housing 1 towards the fixing member 15, which can disengage the limiting protrusion 19 from the locking groove and thus carry out the rotation operation. It can be seen that this embodiment can lock the shaft 16 in the current state by setting the return spring 18 and the locking groove 22, and prevent the limiting protrusion 19 from moving in the second limiting groove 21 and causing shaking.

[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
