Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of anesthetic needle disposal technology, and more specifically, to an anesthetic needle destruction device. Background Technology

[0002] In medical practice, anesthetic needles, as a crucial type of medical device, play an indispensable role in various surgeries and treatments. However, these used anesthetic needles, due to their sharp appearance and potential drug residue, can easily become a source of secondary pollution from medical waste if not properly disposed of, and may pose a direct threat to relevant personnel. Therefore, exploring a safe and efficient method for disposing of anesthetic needles has become a core challenge that medical institutions urgently need to address.

[0003] Although some anesthetic needle disposal devices have emerged on the market, these devices still have significant shortcomings in terms of disposal efficiency. Specifically, existing anesthetic needle disposal devices generally adopt an intermittent disposal mode, meaning that the number of anesthetic needles disposed of at one time is limited, and the entire disposal process requires frequent manual intervention, making continuous, uninterrupted operation impossible. This disposal mode is not only inefficient and unable to meet the urgent needs of medical institutions for the rapid, batch disposal of large quantities of anesthetic needles, but it may also increase the workload of operators and raise potential safety risks. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above deficiencies, this application provides an anesthetic needle destruction device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows:

[0006] An anesthetic needle disposal device includes a support base, a collection port at one end of the surface of the support base, and a collection box at the bottom. The top of the collection box is attached to the bottom of the collection port. Two clamping plates are fixed at the other end of the surface of the support base. A crusher is clamped between the two clamping plates. The feed port of the crusher is integrally formed with an anesthetic needle placement box, and the discharge end is suspended above the collection port.

[0007] Furthermore, the crusher includes a shell, two crushing shafts, four limiting holes, and a drive component. The shell has four limiting holes at both ends, and is clamped to the opposite ends of two clamping plates on both sides. The surface feed inlet is integrally formed with the bottom end of the anesthetic needle placement box, and the discharge end is suspended above the collection port. The two crushing shafts are placed inside the shell, and their ends are hinged to the inner rings of the four limiting holes. The drive component is bolted to the outer end of the shell and fixedly connected to one end of the crushing shaft.

[0008] Furthermore, the driving component includes two gears, a protective cover, two through holes, two support blocks, and a drive motor. The two gears mesh with each other, and one side is fixedly connected to one end of each of the two crushing shafts, while the other side is hinged to the inner ring of each of the two through holes. Two through holes are respectively opened at both ends of the surface of the protective cover and bolted to the outer end of the outer shell. One end of each of the two support blocks is in contact with the surface of the protective cover. The fixed end of the drive motor is bolted to the surface of the protective cover through the two support blocks, and the output end is fixedly connected to the outer side of one of the gears through a coupling.

[0009] Furthermore, the anesthetic needle placement box includes a long cylindrical box, a cover plate, and a rubber block. The bottom end of the long cylindrical box is integrally formed with the surface of the outer shell, and its interior is connected to its feed port. One side of the cover plate is connected to the top of the long cylindrical box on the same side via a shaft chain, and the rubber block is glued to the other side of the inside of the cover plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the elongated box is transparent, and its inner ring matches the feed inlet on the surface of the outer shell.

[0011] Furthermore, four casters are installed on bolts at equal intervals at the bottom of the collection box, with the openings facing upwards and larger than the inner circumference of the collection port.

[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. This utility model combines a crusher securely held by two clamping plates with an anesthesia needle storage box, ensuring that the long cylindrical box can accommodate and smoothly guide a large number of anesthesia needles into the outer shell through the feed inlet. Subsequently, the drive unit efficiently drives two crushing shafts to rotate, which quickly and accurately cut and crush the anesthesia needles. The crushed anesthesia needle fragments are smoothly discharged through the discharge end and fall directly into the collection box below for centralized collection. This series of processes not only achieves continuous and large-scale destruction of anesthesia needles, but also greatly reduces the workload of operators and improves the efficiency and convenience of the overall destruction operation.

[0014] 2. The transparent design of the elongated box in this invention allows operators to directly observe the placement and crushing progress of the anesthetic needles, facilitating monitoring of the disposal process and ensuring thoroughness and accuracy. This design enhances the reliability and management efficiency of the device, enabling medical institutions to more effectively manage the disposal of anesthetic needles.

[0015] 3. The fixed connection between the support base and the clamping plate, as well as the clamping connection between the outer shell of the crusher and the clamping plate, ensures the stability of the crusher and avoids possible shaking or damage during the disposal of anesthetic needles. At the same time, the crusher can also be removed. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0027] Example:

[0028] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 An anesthetic needle disposal device includes a support base 1, a collection port 2 opened at one end of the surface of the support base 1, and a collection box 3 provided at the bottom; four universal wheels 31 are installed at the bottom of the collection box 3 with bolts at equal intervals, and the opening faces upward and is larger than the inner circle of the collection port 2.

[0029] Among them, the support base 1 serves as the basic support structure of the entire device. The support base 1 is placed firmly on the ground, providing a platform for the installation and support of other components.

[0030] The collection port 2 is located at one end of the surface of the support base 1 and is used to receive the fragmented anesthetic needles. The design of the collection port 2 should facilitate the smooth flow of the anesthetic needle fragments into the collection box 3 below.

[0031] The collection box 3 is located at one end of the support base 1, fitting snugly against the bottom of the collection port 2, and is used to collect and store fragmented anesthetic needles. The collection box 3 should have sufficient capacity and be easy to move and clean. Four casters 31 are bolted at equal intervals to the bottom of the collection box 3. These casters 31 can rotate 360 ​​degrees, making the collection box 3 more flexible and stable when moving. Operators can easily push or pull the collection box 3 on both flat and uneven surfaces. This operation is not only simple and convenient but also greatly saves manpower and time. The opening of the collection box 3 faces upwards, and its inner circumference is larger than that of the collection port 2. This design ensures that the fragmented anesthetic needles fall smoothly from the collection port 2 into the collection box 3 without clogging or overflowing. At the same time, the larger opening also facilitates the operator's cleaning of the fragments inside the collection box.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 An anesthetic needle disposal device is provided, wherein two clamping plates 4 are fixed to the other end of the surface of the support base 1, and a crusher 5 is clamped between the two clamping plates 4. The feed inlet of the crusher 5 is integrally formed with an anesthetic needle placement box 6, and the discharge end is suspended on the collection port 2. The crusher 5 includes a shell 51, two crushing shafts 52, four limiting holes 53 and a drive component 54. The drive component 54 includes two gears 541, a protective cover 542, two through holes 543, two support blocks 544 and a drive motor 545. The anesthetic needle placement box 6 includes a long cylindrical box 61, a cover plate 62 and a rubber block 63.

[0033] Two clamping plates 4 are integrally formed on the other end of the support base 1, used to clamp and fix the crusher 5. The design of the clamping plates 4 ensures the stability and safety of the crusher 5, and also facilitates the removal of the crusher 5.

[0034] The crusher 5 is installed between two clamping plates 4 to crush the anesthetic needles. The outer casing 51, the main structure of the crusher 5, is made of a sturdy and durable material and houses and protects the internal crushing shafts 52. Four limiting holes 53 are provided at both ends of the outer casing 51 to fix and support the crushing shafts 52. Simultaneously, the feed inlet on the surface of the outer casing 51 is integrally formed with the bottom of the anesthetic needle placement box 6, ensuring smooth entry of the anesthetic needles into the crusher 5. The discharge end is suspended above the collection port 2 for easy discharge of the crushed anesthetic needle fragments. Two crushing shafts 52 are placed inside the outer casing 51, with both ends hinged to the inner ring of the four limiting holes 53. The two crushing shafts 52 are spiral-shaped and interlocked for cutting and crushing the anesthetic needles. When the crushing shafts 52 rotate, they generate a powerful crushing force, rapidly breaking the anesthetic needles into fragments. The four limiting holes 53 at both ends of the housing 51 are used not only to fix and support the crushing shaft 52, but also to ensure the stability and safety of the crushing shaft 52 during rotation. The limiting holes 53 are designed to prevent the crushing shaft 52 from shifting or loosening during rotation. The drive component 54 is bolted to the outer end of the housing 51 and fixedly connected to one end of the crushing shaft 52. The drive component 54 is used to provide sufficient power to drive the crushing shaft 52 to rotate.

[0035] The drive component 54 serves as the power source, with two meshing gears 541 playing a crucial role in power transmission. One side of each gear is fixedly connected to one end of a pair of crushing shafts 52, ensuring that the rotation of the gears 541 synchronously drives the crushing shafts 52. The other side is hinged to the inner rings of two through holes 543, a connection method that ensures the stability of the gears 541 while allowing them to rotate within a certain range. The protective cover 542 is an important safety component, protecting the internal structure of the drive component 54 and preventing accidental contact with rotating parts by operators. Two through holes 543 are formed at both ends of the protective cover 542's surface. These through holes 543 not only provide the necessary space for the rotation of the gears 541 but also serve as the connection points between the gears 541 and the protective cover 542. The protective cover 542 is bolted to the outer end of the outer casing 51, ensuring a secure connection. Two through holes 543 are circular openings on the protective cover 542 to accommodate the gear 541, ensuring smooth rotation of the gear 541 without interfering with other parts of the protective cover 542. Two support blocks 544 support and fix the drive motor 545, ensuring stable mounting of the drive motor 545 on the protective cover 542. One end of the support block 544 fits against the surface of the protective cover 542, and the other end is connected to the fixed end of the motor. The drive motor 545 is securely fixed in a predetermined position via bolts through the support blocks 544. The drive motor 545 provides the necessary torque and speed to drive the rotation of the corresponding gear 541 and the crushing shaft 52. The output end of the drive motor 545 is fixedly connected to the outside of one of the gears 541 via a coupling. This connection method ensures efficient power transmission while allowing for a certain degree of axial and radial displacement between the motor and the gear 541, thereby improving the system's flexibility and reliability.

[0036] The anesthetic needle placement box 6 is integrally formed on the feed inlet of the crusher 5 and is used to place the anesthetic needles to be destroyed. The design of the anesthetic needle placement box 6 facilitates the placement of anesthetic needles and prevents them from being ejected during the crushing process. The long cylindrical box 61 is the main body of the anesthetic needle placement box 6. It is transparent, allowing the operator to clearly see the number of anesthetic needles inside, thus facilitating placement and management. The bottom end of the long cylindrical box 61 is integrally formed with the surface of the outer shell 51, ensuring a tight connection and stability between them. At the same time, the interior of the long cylindrical box 61 is interconnected with its feed inlet, providing a smooth channel for the placement of anesthetic needles. The cover plate 62 is used to close the top of the long cylindrical box 61 to prevent the anesthetic needles from being removed or falling out without authorization. One side of the cover plate 62 is connected to the top side of the long cylindrical box 61 via a chain. This connection method allows the cover plate 62 to be flipped within a certain range, thus facilitating the operator's placement of anesthetic needles. When it is necessary to administer an anesthetic needle, the operator simply needs to gently flip the cover 62 to place the needle into the long tube 61. A rubber block 63 is glued to the other side of the inside of the cover 62, serving as a buffer and seal. When the cover 62 is closed, the elasticity of the rubber block 63 can reduce the noise and impact generated when the cover 62 closes.

[0037] The working principle of this anesthetic needle disposal device is as follows: First, the collection box 3 is placed at the bottom of the support base 1, ensuring it fits tightly against the bottom of the collection port 2. Then, the anesthetic needles to be disposed of are placed into the anesthetic needle placement box 6, where they slide down to the feed port due to gravity. The crusher 5 is then started, and it crushes the anesthetic needles in the placement box 6. During the crushing process, the anesthetic needles are completely broken into fragments, which fall into the collection port 2 through the discharge end of the crusher 5. The crushed anesthetic needle fragments then fall into the collection box 3 below through the collection port 2. When the collection box 3 is full, it can be disassembled and cleaned for continued use. After the anesthetic needle disposal task is completed, the crusher 5 is turned off, and the residue inside the anesthetic needle placement box 6 and the crusher 5 is cleaned. At the same time, the collection box 3 is checked to see if it needs to be replaced or cleaned.

[0038] It should be noted that the specific model and specifications of the drive motor 545 need to be selected and determined based on the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection and calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0039] The power supply and operating principle of the drive motor 545 are clear to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0040] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this application is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that this application can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this application. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this application is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this application. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
