Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology, specifically relating to a sharps container. Background Technology

[0002] Sharps generated during medical care, such as syringe needles, infusion needles, and surgical blades, must be properly collected and disposed of to ensure the safety of medical staff and related personnel. These sharps are usually collected in a sharps container.

[0003] Traditional sharps containers typically consist of a body and a lid. To use them, the lid is opened, the sharps are placed inside, and then the lid is closed. When collecting sharps, healthcare professionals often manually separate the needle from the syringe barrel or use scissors to cut the plastic tubing of an IV set or lancet. However, this method carries the risk of accidental punctures when separating the syringe needle, and if scissors are used to cut the tubing, the elasticity of the plastic can cause the needle tip to spring back and cause a needlestick injury. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the technical problem that existing technologies are prone to causing puncture injuries due to errors when separating syringe needles or cutting tubing to collect blood collection needles and infusion needles, this utility model provides a sharps container.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A sharps container, comprising:

[0007] A box body having an inner cavity;

[0008] A collector is detachably connected to the upper end of the box body. The collector includes a base with an operating groove and a first collection mechanism and a second collection mechanism disposed within the operating groove. The first collection mechanism includes a cutting cylinder with a cutting cavity, a top plate disposed above the cutting cylinder and having a cutting opening, and a plurality of cutting elements movably connected between the cutting cylinder and the top plate. The cutting cavity is positioned corresponding to the cutting opening and communicates with the inner cavity of the box. The plurality of cutting elements can move at the top of the cutting cavity toward the axis of the cutting cavity to cooperate in cutting the tubing located in the cutting cavity, and the cutting elements can move away from the cutting cavity to release the tubing. The second collection mechanism includes a collection port opened in the operating groove and communicating with the inner cavity of the box, a first clamping element and a second clamping element disposed above the collection port for clamping a syringe needle, and a drive mechanism connected to the second clamping element. The drive mechanism can drive the second clamping element to reciprocate in a direction toward or away from the first clamping element.

[0009] A lid, which is hinged to the base.

[0010] Furthermore, a partition is fixedly connected inside the operating groove to divide the space inside the operating groove into a first recessed space and a second recessed space. The cutting cylinder is disposed in the first recessed space, and the collection port is distributed in the second recessed space.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer periphery of the cutting cylinder is fixed with a plurality of first lugs that are equally spaced around the center of the cutting cavity. The first lugs extend from the outer wall of the cutting cylinder away from the cutting cavity. Each first lug has a groove for sliding connection with the cutting component. Each cutting component includes a cutting wing and an assembly rod connected to the cutting wing. The lower part of the assembly rod is located below the cutting wing and is slidably connected to the groove, while the upper part of the assembly rod is located above the cutting wing and is slidably connected to the top plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the top plate is provided with a plurality of arc-shaped second ears that are equally spaced around the center of the cutting opening. Each second ear has an arc-shaped cavity for mounting a mounting rod at a corresponding position. The mounting rod can reciprocate within the arc-shaped cavity. When the mounting rod moves within the arc-shaped cavity toward the cutting opening, it can drive the cutting wing to move above the cutting cavity toward the axis of the cutting cavity. When the mounting rod moves within the arc-shaped cavity toward the direction away from the cutting opening, it can drive the cutting wing to move above the cutting cavity toward the direction away from the axis of the cutting cavity.

[0013] Furthermore, the end of the cutting wing away from the mounting rod has an arc-shaped cutting edge, and several cutting edges can surround and form a cutting space for the hose to pass through. The upper end of the cutting space communicates with the cutting opening and the lower end communicates with the cutting cavity.

[0014] Furthermore, the top surface of the top plate is embedded with magnetic rings that are coaxially distributed with the cutting opening, and a cap capable of sealing the cutting opening is attracted by the magnetic rings.

[0015] Furthermore, the first clamping member and the second clamping member have the same structure, and both the first clamping member and the second clamping member are provided with semi-circular clamping grooves, which cooperate with each other to clamp the syringe needle.

[0016] Furthermore, the driving mechanism includes a housing disposed on the outer wall of the base, a driving unit disposed within the housing, a screw connected to the driving unit, a movable block screwed onto the screw, and several buttons disposed on the outside of the housing. One end of the screw is connected to the output end of the driving unit, and the other opposite end passes through the second recessed space and is connected to the partition. The movable block is located within the second recessed space, and one side of the movable block is connected to the second clamping member via a connecting rod. The bottom end of the movable block is provided with a sliding protrusion, and a guide groove is provided at a corresponding position in the second recessed space that is slidably connected to the sliding protrusion. The driving unit drives the screw to rotate, enabling the movable block to drive the second clamping member to reciprocate in a direction closer to or away from the first clamping member.

[0017] Furthermore, the sidewall of the partition is embedded with several magnetic blocks, and a sealing cover for sealing the first clamping member and the collection port is attracted by the magnetic blocks.

[0018] Furthermore, the upper end of the box is screwed to the base; the outer wall of the box is provided with a side opening that communicates with the inner cavity of the box, and a side door that controls the opening or closing of the side opening is hinged at the side opening; the outer wall of the box is also provided with a transparent window.

[0019] In summary, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Firstly, the upper end of the box is connected to a collector, and the first collecting mechanism in the collector can be used to cut needles with tubing, such as blood collection needles and infusion needles, which are sharp instruments. It has a built-in tubing cutting function, eliminating the need for additional equipment, making it convenient and practical. During the tubing cutting process, several cutting wings surround the tubing within the cutting space. In this state, the needle connected to the tubing is located inside the cutting cavity and below the cutting wings. Even if the tubing is elastic, the needle will not easily slip out of the cutting cavity during the cutting process, effectively reducing the occurrence of puncture injuries. II. The second collection mechanism in the collector can specifically collect sharps such as syringe needles. Through the cooperation of the first and second clamping members, the needle hub of the syringe needle is clamped and fixed. Rotating the syringe barrel separates the needle hub from the syringe barrel. The second clamping member moves away from the first clamping member, releasing the clamp on the needle hub. The released syringe needle falls into the collection port and accumulates, completing the sharps collection. It eliminates the need to manually separate the syringe barrel and needle, reducing the occurrence of puncture injuries due to accident. III. The cutting opening in the first collection mechanism is sealed by a magnetic cap, and the partition can also be sealed by a magnetic cap in the second collection mechanism. Even when the box lid is not closed, sharps inside the box will not easily fall out and accidentally injure medical personnel. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The present invention will be further illustrated below with reference to specific figures.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a sharps container, including a container body 100 with an inner cavity, a collector detachably connected to the upper end of the container body 100, and a lid 500 hinged to the collector. The collector includes a base 200 with an operating groove and connected to the lid 500, and a first collecting mechanism 300 and a second collecting mechanism 400 disposed within the operating groove. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2The first collecting mechanism 300 includes a cutting cylinder 310 with a cutting cavity 311, a top plate 320 disposed above the cutting cylinder 310 and having a cutting opening 322, and a plurality of cutting elements 330 movably connected between the cutting cylinder 310 and the top plate 320. The cutting cavity 311 is positioned corresponding to the cutting opening 322 and communicates with the inner cavity of the box, and the cutting cavity 311 and the cutting opening 322 are coaxially arranged. The plurality of cutting elements 330 can move towards the top of the cutting cavity 311 to cooperate in cutting the hose located in the cutting cavity 311, while the cutting elements 330 can move away from the cutting cavity 311 to loosen the hose. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 3 The second collection mechanism 400 includes a collection port 410 opened in the operating groove and communicating with the inner cavity of the box, a first clamping member 420 and a second clamping member 430 disposed above the collection port 410 for clamping the syringe needle, and a drive mechanism 440 connected to the second clamping member 430. The drive mechanism 440 can drive the second clamping member 430 to reciprocate in a direction toward or away from the first clamping member 420. Opening the box cover 500 exposes the operating slot. After the cutting component 330 moves away from the cutting cavity 311, the cutting cavity 311 is exposed. The blood collection needle or infusion needle connected by the plastic tubing is inserted into the cutting cavity 311 through the cutting port 322. The operating cutting component 330 then moves closer to the cutting cavity 311. After several cutting components 330 come together, the tubing can be cut. The needle connected to the tubing will fall into the inner cavity of the box that communicates with the cutting cavity 311 for storage. During the process of cutting the tubing, the needle of the blood collection needle or infusion needle is always inside the cutting cavity 311, away from the hands of medical staff. During the cutting process, the tubing is no longer easy to bounce around and injure people, making it easier to cut. There is no need to use additional scissors to cut the tubing, making the operation convenient and practical. A syringe typically includes a syringe barrel and a needle screwed to the syringe barrel. The needle typically includes a needle hub screwed to the syringe barrel and a needle body connected to the needle hub. When separating the syringe needle, the needle is inserted into the collection port 410. The drive mechanism 440 is activated, causing the second clamping member 430 to move towards the first clamping member 420. The first clamping member 420 and the second clamping member 430 cooperate to clamp the needle hub. After the needle hub is clamped, rotating the syringe barrel separates the screwed needle hub. The drive mechanism 440 drives the second clamping member 430... 30 is away from the first clamping member 420. After the syringe needle falls into the collection port 410, it accumulates in the inner cavity of the box. The separation process is no longer a manual operation. The hand is away from the sharp point, which can avoid accidental puncture when the needle is removed. The collection port 410 can also directly collect sharp objects such as blades. During the sharp object collection process, the first collection mechanism 300 and the second collection mechanism 400 can be used to collect the corresponding sharp objects respectively. The collection process is convenient and quick. Moreover, during the sharp object separation process, the hand is away from the sharp point, which avoids puncture injury.

[0029] The upper end of the container 100 is screwed to the base 200. If any parts of the collector are damaged, the screwed base 200 allows for easy separation of the collector from the container 100. The outer wall of the container 100 has a side opening (not shown in the figure) that communicates with the inner cavity of the container, and a side door is hinged at the side opening to control its opening and closing, allowing for easy emptying of sharp objects inside. The outer wall of the container 100 also has a transparent window 110, through which the storage conditions inside the container can be directly observed.

[0030] A partition 210 is fixedly connected inside the operating groove, dividing the space into a first recessed space 220 and a second recessed space 230. A cutting cylinder 310 is disposed within the first recessed space 220, and collection ports 410 are distributed within the second recessed space 230. The partition 210 serves to divide the operating groove into different areas, allowing for different needle separation operations within each area, thus facilitating more precise needle separation by the operator.

[0031] Please see Figure 4 The cutting cylinder 310 has several first lugs 312 fixedly attached to its outer periphery, evenly spaced around the center of the cutting cavity 311. Each first lug 312 extends from the outer wall of the cutting cylinder 310 away from the cutting cavity 311, and each first lug 312 has a groove 3120 for sliding connection with the cutting piece 330. (See also...) Figure 5 Each cutting element 330 includes a cutting wing 331 and an assembly rod 332 connected to the cutting wing 331. The lower part of the assembly rod 332 is located below the cutting wing 331 and is slidably connected to the slide groove 3120, while the upper part of the assembly rod 332 is located above the cutting wing 331 and is slidably connected to the top plate 320. The end of the cutting wing 331 away from the assembly rod 332 has an arc-shaped cutting edge. Several cutting edges can be closed to form a cutting space for the passage of a flexible tube. The upper end of the cutting space communicates with the cutting opening 322, and the lower end communicates with the cutting cavity 311. When separating a blood collection needle or an infusion needle, the needle and the flexible tube are first inserted into the cutting space formed by the several cutting edges. The cutting edges are then moved closer together until the flexible tube inside the cutting space is cut off. During the cutting operation, the needle cuts the flexible tube below the several cutting wings 331. After being cut off, the needle is shielded by the cutting element 330 and will not pop out randomly, protecting the operator and reducing the occurrence of accidental needle stick injuries.

[0032] The top plate 320 is provided with several arc-shaped second lugs 321 evenly spaced around the center of the cutting opening 322. Each second lug 321 has an arc-shaped through cavity 3210 for mounting a mounting rod 332 at a corresponding position. The mounting rod 332 can reciprocate within the arc-shaped through cavity 3210. When the mounting rod 332 moves towards the cutting opening 322 within the arc-shaped through cavity 3210, it can drive the cutting wing 331 to move above the cutting cavity 311 towards the axis of the cutting cavity 311. When the mounting rod 332 moves away from the cutting opening 322 within the arc-shaped through cavity 3210, it can drive the cutting wing 331 to move above the cutting cavity 311 away from the axis of the cutting cavity 311. The function of the arc-shaped cavity 3210 is to guide the movement of the assembly rod 332. In order to prevent the assembly rod 332 from coming out of the arc-shaped cavity 3210, a limiting member 3320 is screwed to the top of the assembly rod 332 to prevent the assembly rod 332 from coming out.

[0033] Please see Figure 6 The top surface of the top plate 320 is embedded with a magnetic ring that is coaxially distributed with the cutting opening 322. The cap 600, which can close the cutting opening 322, is attracted by the magnetic ring. When the box cover 500 is not closed, the cap 600 connected by magnetic attraction can close the cutting opening 322, preventing the needle from accidentally coming out of the cutting opening 322 and improving the protection effect.

[0034] The first clamping member 420 and the second clamping member 430 have the same structure, and both the first clamping member 420 and the second clamping member 430 are provided with semi-circular clamping grooves 421. The two clamping grooves 421 cooperate with each other to clamp the syringe needle. These two clamping grooves 421 can more closely and properly clamp the syringe needle hub, providing stable and firm clamping, and facilitating the separation of the syringe from the syringe barrel during operation.

[0035] The drive mechanism 440 includes a housing 441 disposed on the outer wall of the base 200, a drive unit disposed within the housing 441, a screw 442 connected to the drive unit, a movable block 443 screwed onto the screw 442, and several buttons 444 and a display screen 445 disposed outside the housing 441. The drive unit is preferably a motor. One end of the screw 442 is connected to the output end of the drive unit, and the other end passes through the second recessed space 230 and connects to the partition 210. The movable block 443 is located within the second recessed space 230, and one side of the movable block 443 is connected to the second clamping member 430 via a connecting rod 4430. The bottom end of the movable block 443 has a sliding protrusion, and a guide groove 3120 slidably connected to the sliding protrusion is provided at a corresponding position in the second recessed space 230. The drive unit drives the screw 442 to rotate, enabling the movable block 443 to reciprocate the second clamping member 430 towards or away from the first clamping member 420. Pressing button 444 activates the drive unit, causing the screw 442 to rotate. This causes the moving block 443 to reciprocate within the second recessed space 230, thereby driving the second clamping member 430 to reciprocate within the second recessed space 230. The process of clamping the needle holder can be automated, saving manpower and making operation convenient.

[0036] Please continue reading. Figure 6 The partition 210 has several magnetic blocks embedded in its side wall, and a sealing cover 700 for sealing the first clamp 420 and the collection port 410 is attracted by the magnetic blocks. The collection port 410 can be sealed inside by the magnetic sealing cover 700 without the box cover 500, so as to prevent sharp objects from coming out of the collection port 410.

[0037] This sharps container has two main features: First, a collector is connected to the upper end of the container body 100. The first collecting mechanism 300 within the collector is capable of cutting needles with tubing, such as blood collection needles and infusion needles. It has a built-in tubing-cutting function, eliminating the need for additional equipment and making it convenient and practical. During the tubing-cutting process, several cutting wings 331 surround the tubing within the cutting space. In this state, the needle connected to the tubing is located within the cutting cavity 311 and below the cutting wings 331. Even if the tubing is elastic, the needle will not easily slip out of the cutting cavity 311 during the cutting process, effectively reducing the occurrence of puncture injuries. II. The second collection mechanism 400 in the collector can specifically collect sharp objects such as syringe needles. Through the cooperation of the first clamp 420 and the second clamp 430, the needle hub of the syringe needle is clamped and fixed. Rotating the syringe barrel separates the needle hub from the syringe barrel. The second clamp 430 moves away from the first clamp 420, releasing the clamp on the needle hub. The released syringe needle falls into the collection port 410 and is stored, completing the sharp object collection. It eliminates the need to manually separate the syringe barrel and needle, reducing the occurrence of puncture injuries due to accidents. III. The cutting opening 322 in the first collection mechanism 300 is magnetically connected to the cap 600 to close it. The partition 210 can also magnetically close the collection port 410 in the second collection mechanism 400. Even without closing the box cap 500, sharp objects in the inner cavity of the box will not easily fall out and accidentally injure medical personnel.

[0038] The above are merely embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structure made using the contents of this utility model specification and drawings, whether directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, shall also be within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
