Detailed Implementation

[0029] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention. Therefore, they only show the components relevant to the present invention and should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Please see Figures 1-4 As shown in Embodiment 1: A safe medical needle box includes a box body 1 and a hinged lid 2. One side of the lid 2 is hinged to the box body 1. Inside the box body 1, a rotatable tube rack 1a is connected via a pivot 1b. The rotatable tube rack 1a has an equal number of tube holes 1a-1 and tube recesses 1a-2. The tube holes 1a-1 and tube recesses 1a-2 correspond one-to-one and are used to place needle-containing tubes 1c. The number of needle-containing tubes 1c is 4 to 12. One needle-containing tube 1c is placed in the same row of tube holes 1a-1 and tube recesses 1a-2. Each needle-containing tube 1c can hold ≤10 needles. Multiple needle-containing tubes 1c have the function of classifying and partitioning medical needles to meet different usage needs and prevent incorrect use to a certain extent.

[0031] After opening the box cover 2, in order to make the tilt angle of the rotatable tube rack 1a adjustable as needed and maintain it at the required angle, so as to facilitate the placement and removal of medical needles, a spring-loaded locking device 1d is provided between the rotatable tube rack 1a and the box body 1. The spring-loaded locking device 1d includes a compression spring 1d-1, a movable plate 1d-2, a first retaining ring 1d-3 and a second retaining ring 1d-4 arranged in sequence. All four are sleeved on the rotating shaft 1b. The movable plate 1d-2 and the first retaining ring 1d-3 can move linearly based on the axis of the rotating shaft 1b. The second retaining ring 1d-4 is fixedly connected to the side of the rotatable tube rack 1a. The mating surfaces of the first retaining ring 1d-3 and the second retaining ring 1d-4 are corrugated surfaces. The movable plate 1d-2 and the first retaining ring 1d-3 are fixedly connected. The first retaining ring 1d-3 and the second retaining ring 1d-4 can rotate relative to each other. The corrugated surfaces of the two are matched in concavity and convexity. The movable plate 1d-2 is blocked by the box body 1 and cannot rotate based on the pivot 1b. When the rotatable tube rack 1a is rotated, the first retaining ring 1d-3 does not rotate, while the second retaining ring 1d-4 rotates with the rotatable tube rack 1a. Under the action of the two corrugated surfaces, the compression spring 1d-1 is compressed, and the two corrugated surfaces separate. Then, under the action of the elastic force of the compression spring 1d-1, the two corrugated surfaces are tightly pressed together again, so as to maintain the tilt angle of the rotatable tube rack 1a at this time. The tilted needle tube 1c is convenient for medical needles to be taken out from its interior.

[0032] A tube retainer sleeve 1e is provided inside the tube hole 1a-1. The tube retainer sleeve 1e has multiple inwardly inclined retaining feet 1e-1 arranged around the center. Along the direction in which the needle tube 1c is inserted into the tube hole 1a-1, the retaining feet 1e-1 do not obstruct the needle tube 1c, but generate a certain insertion resistance. This can prevent the bottom of the needle tube 1c from generating excessive collision force with the tube pit 1a-2, thus protecting the needle tube 1c. Since the retaining feet 1e-1 have a certain degree of bending elasticity, they can also reduce the vibration of the needle tube 1c in the box, ensuring the safety of the needle box during transportation and storage.

[0033] A further optimization scheme is proposed: one end of the needle tube 1c is open and a tube cap 1c-1 is provided. A vertical corrugated plate 1f is provided inside the box body 1. When the needle tube 1c is placed flat inside the box body 1, the tube cap 1c-1 contacts the flexible corrugated plate 1f. The corrugated plate 1f can press down the tube cap 1c-1 to prevent the tube cap 1c-1 from falling off the needle tube 1c, thus avoiding contamination of the medical needle or even it passing through the seam between the box body 1 and the box cap 2.

[0034] In addition, the corrugated plate 1f also divides the box body 1 into a tube cap storage area 1g for placing the removed tube caps 1c-1.

[0035] needle tube 1c Figure 5 The tube is half translucent and half transparent. When in use, part of the needle tube 1c can be rotated so that the translucent side faces upward. Used or discarded medical needles can be placed in the translucent side of the needle tube 1c to distinguish them from unused needles, thereby preventing incorrect use and ensuring medical safety.

[0036] Meanwhile, a transparent observation window 2a is provided on the box lid 2. The transparent observation window 2a is made of acrylic sheet, which allows medical staff to observe the number and type of needles inside the box from the outside.

[0037] In Example 2, the needle tube 1c is made of soft silicone tubing. A pressure block is provided on the inner wall of the box cover 2. After the box cover 2 is closed, the pressure block squeezes the soft silicone tubing to deform its middle section, thereby pressing down the needle placed inside the needle tube 1c, preventing the tube from shaking, loosening, or shifting inside the box 1, and also preventing the needle from shaking inside the needle tube 1c, opening the tube cover, and causing the inside of the box 1 to become messy.

[0038] A further optimization involves installing magnetic strips at the edges where the box body 1 and the lid 2 meet after closing. These magnetic strips enhance the seal, prevent dust and water damage, and prevent contamination of the medical needles inside the box body 1.

[0039] In use, the box and tube provide double-layer protection for the medical needles. Multiple needle-containing tubes 1c can classify and partition the medical needles to meet different usage needs and prevent incorrect use to a certain extent. The tilt angle of the rotatable tube rack 1a is adjustable as needed and can be maintained at the required angle, making it convenient to pick up and put away medical needles. The tube sleeve 1e can reduce the vibration of the needle-containing tubes 1c in the box 1, ensuring the safety of the needle box during transportation and storage. Half of the needle-containing tubes 1c is semi-transparent and half is transparent. In use, some needle-containing tubes 1c can be rotated so that the semi-transparent side faces upward. Used and discarded medical needles can be placed in the needle-containing tubes 1c with the semi-transparent side facing upward, distinguishing them from unused ones, further preventing incorrect use and ensuring medical safety.

[0040] 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. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any changes, modifications or additions made without departing from the concept of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
