[0002] Medical waste, an unavoidable product of the daily operations of medical institutions, is crucial for safeguarding public health and preventing the spread of disease. With the continuous advancement of medical technology and the increasing demand for healthcare services, the types and quantities of medical waste are also increasing, including but not limited to disposable medical devices, pharmaceutical packaging, biological samples, and chemical waste liquids. If these wastes are not properly disposed of, they may not only pollute the environment but also become a source of disease transmission, posing a serious threat to the health of medical personnel and the public.
[0003] However, current medical waste collection devices typically collect various types of medical waste in a single waste bin. Because these different types of medical waste may react chemically, bacteria and harmful odors can easily develop. When disposing of medical waste into the waste bin, the lid needs to be opened, causing bacteria to escape through the airflow and potentially infect those nearby, thus reducing the device's effectiveness. Therefore, this applicant proposes a medical waste collection device to address these issues. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a medical waste collection device, which aims to improve upon the current medical waste collection devices that typically collect multiple types of medical waste in a waste bin. Because various types of medical waste may undergo certain chemical reactions, bacteria and harmful odors can easily grow. When medical waste is disposed of in the waste bin, the lid needs to be opened, which can cause bacteria to fly out of the disposal opening with the airflow, potentially causing infection to people in the surrounding area.

[0029] Example 1:
[0030] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a medical waste collection device includes:
[0031] Collection mechanism 1 and operating mechanism 2 mounted on collection mechanism 1;
[0032] The collection mechanism 1 includes a collection box 11. The collection box 11 has an activity chamber 16 and a collection chamber 110 respectively from top to bottom. The activity chamber 16 and the collection chamber 110 are interconnected. The top of the collection box 11 has a delivery port 17 corresponding to the activity chamber 16. A rotating rod 18 is rotatably installed inside the activity chamber 16. A shelf 19 corresponding to the delivery port 17 is fixedly installed on the surface of the rotating rod 18.
[0033] The operating mechanism 2 includes fixed rods 29 fixedly installed at both ends of the rotating rod 18 and movable frame 21 hingedly installed on both sides of the collection box 11. The fixed rods 29 are located on both sides of the collection box 11, and a linkage rod 27 is hinged between the fixed rods 29 and the movable frame 21.
[0034] As can be seen from the above, when in use, medical waste is put into the activity room 16 through the disposal port 17, so that the medical waste can be placed on the shelf 19. By stepping on one end of the activity shelf 21, it can be flipped downwards, and the other end of the activity shelf 21 can be flipped upwards. The linkage rod 27 can be used to push the fixed rod 29 to rotate 180°. The fixed rod 29 can simultaneously drive the rotating rod 18 to rotate, and the shelf 19 can be flipped 180°. When the shelf 19 is flipped, it can carry the medical waste along the activity room 16 into the collection room 110. Since the shelf 19 is a right angle shape, the activity room 16 and the collection room 110 can always be isolated during the flipping process of the shelf 19. This can effectively prevent bacteria generated by medical waste in the collection room 110 from flying out of the activity room 16 with the air, and effectively prevent infection of the surrounding personnel.
[0035] By releasing the movable frame 21, it can be flipped and reset, which can cause the shelf 19 to flip in the opposite direction and reset. At this time, the shelf 19 can be aligned with the disposal port 17, making it convenient to dispose of medical waste next time and bringing more convenience to the user.
[0036] Depend on Figure 3 and Figure 5 It can be seen that a collection bucket 14 is slidably installed inside the collection chamber 110, and a handle 15 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the collection bucket 14.
[0037] As can be seen from the above, by putting a garbage bag inside the collection bin 14, it is easy to put the collection bin 14 into the collection chamber 110, so that the medical waste in the collection chamber 110 can be put into the collection bin 14 for collection. The handle 15 can be used to easily take out and install the collection bin 14, which facilitates the cleaning operation of the collected medical waste.
[0038] For details, please refer to Figure 6 As shown, the rear end of the collection box 11 has a pull-out opening 111 that communicates with the collection chamber 110, and the pull-out opening 111 corresponds to the collection bucket 14.
[0039] As can be seen from the above, the collection bucket 14 can be easily slid into the collection chamber 110 for installation through the pull-out port 111, which allows the outer edge of the collection bucket 14 to fit and seal with the pull-out port 111, preventing the medical waste collected in the collection bucket 14 from emitting odors.
[0040] For details, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and 4 As shown, fixed seats 12 corresponding to the movable frame 21 are fixedly installed on both sides of the collection box 11, and tension springs 25 are connected between the fixed seats 12 and the movable frame 21.
[0041] As can be seen from the above, the bottom position of the tension spring 25 can be fixed by the fixed base 12, and the tension spring 25 can provide a pulling force to the movable frame 21. When the movable frame 21 is flipped by foot, the tension spring 25 can be used to pull the movable frame 21 to perform an automatic reset operation, which is convenient for the next foot operation of the movable frame 21.
[0042] Example 2:
[0043] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a support foot 13 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the collection box 11, and the collection box 11 is hinged to the movable frame 21 via a pivot 22.
[0044] As can be seen from the above, the support foot 13 can easily support the collection box 11, making it less likely to slide or shift when the collection box 11 is placed on the ground. The rotating shaft 22 allows the movable frame 21 to be flipped.
[0045] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, foot pedals 23 are fixedly installed between the movable frames 21, and anti-slip strips 24 are evenly distributed on the surface of the foot pedals 23.
[0046] As can be seen from the above, the foot pedal 23 allows personnel to easily control the movable frame 21 to flip downwards by stepping on it, thus facilitating the flipping operation of the shelf 19 without hand contact. The anti-slip strip 24 can increase the friction between the foot pedal 23 and the foot, preventing slippage during foot operation. It can also effectively prevent bacteria from contaminating the hands on the surface of the collection box 11, improving safety and bringing more convenience to the user.
[0047] refer to Figure 4 As shown, the linkage rod 27 and the fixed rod 29 are hinged together by the movable seat 28, and the linkage rod 27 and the movable frame 21 are hinged together by the hinge seat 26.
[0048] As can be seen from the above, after the foot-operated movable frame 21 is flipped, the movable seat 28 and the hinge seat 26 can be used to make the linkage rod 27 perform a corresponding flipping motion, which can make the linkage rod 27 push the fixed rod 29 to rotate, making it convenient to drive the shelf 19 to perform the flipping operation.
[0049] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
