Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a medical-specific sharps box. Background Technology
[0002] Sharps containers, as a type of medical storage box, are primarily used to collect syringes, disposable needles, small glass items, various blades, scalp vein needles, suture needles, and other sharps, as well as blood-contacted medical equipment such as whole syringes and blood transfusion sets, to prevent injuries and the spread of disease from used sharps. Sharps containers are generally for single use and must be collected by a designated disposal unit within 24 hours and incinerated within 48 hours to prevent the spread of medical-related diseases. Traditional medical sharps containers are prone to splintering during needle collection, potentially causing needle pricks for medical personnel; therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a medical-specific sharps box that addresses the problem that traditional medical sharps boxes are prone to popping out during the needle collection process, thus causing needle stick injuries to medical staff.
[0004] This utility model provides a medical-grade sharps box, comprising:
[0005] The box body has a magnetic coating on its inner walls from the middle to the bottom along its height.
[0006] The scraper is fixed to the inner wall of the box and is inclined towards the bottom of the box.
[0007] A lid is mounted on the surface of the box body and has a feed chute located directly above the scraper.
[0008] In one embodiment, the inner wall of the box has a limiting member, and both the limiting member and the box cover include a support strip fixed to the inner wall of the box. The free end of the support strip is fixedly connected to a central disk, and a folding mechanism is symmetrically arranged on the surface of the central disk. A power member is installed on the box, and the power member is used to drive the folding mechanism to fold around the central disk.
[0009] In one embodiment, the folding mechanism includes a second sliding plate slidably connected to the surface of the central disk, a first sliding plate disposed between the second sliding plate and the support bar, sliders fixedly connected to the bottom of both the first and second sliding plates, a groove being formed on the surface of the central disk, the sliders being slidably connected within the groove, and bending components being rotatably connected between the support bar and the first sliding plate, and between the first and second sliding plates.
[0010] In one embodiment, the bending assembly includes symmetrically arranged sector plates, each sector plate having a gear fixedly connected to both ends of its outer wall, adjacent gears meshing with each other, and adjacent sector plates being rotatably connected via a movable plate.
[0011] In one embodiment, the power component includes a micro motor mounted on the housing, the output end of which is fixedly connected to one of the gears, and a control button is mounted on the housing.
[0012] In one embodiment, the box body includes a silicone shell and a foldable frame. The foldable frame includes a plurality of parallel reinforcing rings. A first link and a second link are rotatably connected between adjacent reinforcing rings. The first link and the second link correspond one-to-one, and the first link is rotatably connected to the corresponding second link.
[0013] The aforementioned medical sharps box uses a scraper to scrape the needle tip into the box. The magnetic coating effectively prevents the needle from flying out during collection, improving the safety of medical personnel. Furthermore, traditional medical sharps boxes are designed as separate units, requiring assembly. When using different batches of boxes, incomplete closure can lead to needle leakage. This new medical sharps box, however, features an integrated body and lid design. This eliminates the need for assembly, improving work efficiency, and effectively solves the problem of incomplete assembly common with traditional boxes.
[0014] By adopting a fan-shaped folding structure for the lid, the size of the feeding slot can be easily adjusted according to usage needs, thus improving the applicability of this medical sharps box. At the same time, by setting a foldable limiting component inside the box, on the one hand, the holding range of this medical sharps box can be automatically limited to prevent it from exceeding the warning line; on the other hand, the limiting component can block medical sharps that fall into the box, further preventing the phenomenon of medical sharps popping out of the box.

[0027] The following is combined with Figures 1-4 This invention describes a medical-grade sharps box.
[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, a medical-grade sharps box includes a box body 100, a scraper 200, and a box lid 300.
[0029] The inner wall of the box, from the middle to the bottom in the height direction of 100, has a magnetic coating.
[0030] The scraper 200 is fixed to the inner wall of the box 100, and the scraper 200 is inclined towards the bottom of the box 100.
[0031] The lid 300 is mounted on the surface of the box body 100, and the lid 300 has a feed groove 310 located directly above the scraper 200.
[0032] When using this medical sharps box, the needle tip is scraped into the box body 100 by the scraper 200. The magnetic coating effectively prevents the needle from flying out during collection, improving the safety of medical personnel. Furthermore, traditional medical sharps boxes are designed as separate units requiring assembly. When using different batches of boxes, incomplete closure can lead to needle leakage. This medical sharps box, however, features an integrated design of the box body 100 and lid 300. This eliminates the need for assembly, improving work efficiency, and effectively solves the problem of incomplete assembly in traditional medical sharps boxes.
[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the inner wall of the box body 100 has a limiting member 400. Both the limiting member 400 and the box cover 300 include a support strip 410 fixed to the inner wall of the box body 100. The free end of the support strip 410 is fixedly connected to a central disk 420. A folding mechanism 430 is symmetrically arranged on the surface of the central disk 420. A power member 440 is installed on the box body 100. The power member 440 is used to drive the folding mechanism 430 to fold around the central disk 420.
[0034] Since medical sharps boxes cannot be filled to the brim, according to relevant regulations and best practices, medical sharps boxes can only be filled to a maximum of 3 / 4 of their capacity and must not exceed the warning line. Therefore, the limiting component 400 is located at 1 / 2 to 3 / 4 of the total height of the box body 100.
[0035] In this embodiment, the folding mechanism 430 includes a second sliding plate 432 slidably connected to the surface of the central disk 420, a first sliding plate 431 disposed between the second sliding plate 432 and the support bar 410, and sliders 433 fixedly connected to the bottom of both the first sliding plate 431 and the second sliding plate 432. A groove 434 is provided on the surface of the central disk 420, and the sliders 433 are slidably connected in the groove 434. Bending components 435 are rotatably connected between the support bar 410 and the first sliding plate 431, and between the first sliding plate 431 and the second sliding plate 432.
[0036] It should be noted that the groove 434 is an annular groove.
[0037] In this embodiment, the bending component 435 includes symmetrically arranged sector plates 436. Gears 437 are fixedly connected to both ends of the outer wall of the sector plates 436. Adjacent gears 437 mesh with each other, and adjacent sector plates 436 are rotatably connected through a movable plate 438.
[0038] In this embodiment, the power component 440 includes a micro motor 441 mounted on the housing 100. The output end of the micro motor 441 is fixedly connected to one of the gears 437. A control button 442 is mounted on the housing 100.
[0039] By adopting a fan-shaped folding structure for the lid 300, the size of the feed trough 310 can be easily adjusted according to usage needs, thus improving the applicability of this medical sharps box. At the same time, by setting a foldable limiting member 400 inside the box body 100, on the one hand, the holding range of the medical sharps box can be automatically limited to prevent it from exceeding the warning line; on the other hand, the limiting member 400 can block medical sharps that fall into the box body 100, further preventing the phenomenon of medical sharps being ejected from the box body 100.
[0040] The specific adjustment process of the limiting component 400 and the box cover 300 is as follows: the micro motor 441 is started to make the corresponding gear 437 rotate, thereby driving the adjacent gear 437 to rotate, and then the sector plate 436 moves towards the support bar 410. Under the connecting action of the movable plate 438, the two sector plates 436 connected to the movable plate 438 are folded. During this process, the first slide plate 431 and the second slide plate 432 both move towards the support bar 410. Since the slider 433 can only slide in the slide groove 434, the movement trajectory of the support bar 410 is arc-shaped.
[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the box body 100 includes a silicone shell 110 and a foldable frame 120. The foldable frame 120 includes a plurality of parallel reinforcing rings 121. A first link 122 and a second link 123 are rotatably connected between adjacent reinforcing rings 121. The first link 122 and the second link 123 correspond one-to-one, and the first link 122 is rotatably connected to the corresponding second link 123.
[0042] By using a silicone shell 110 and a foldable frame 120, on the one hand, it is convenient to fold the box 100 during storage and transportation, saving space; on the other hand, it is convenient to adjust the overall storage space of the box 100 according to the type of sharp objects collected.
[0043] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0044] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the appended claims.
