Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical equipment, and more particularly to the field of medical waste treatment, specifically referring to a multifunctional intelligent medical waste collection and sorting bin device. Background Technology

[0002] Medical procedures generate medical waste such as infusion sets, needles, syringes, and gauze, requiring separation and collection, along with general household waste. Hospitals typically use ordinary trash cans to separate general household waste, infectious waste, and sharps waste. However, this process involves manual separation and placement of waste into designated bins, which is labor-intensive, carries a risk of injury, and lacks regular disinfection. This new system addresses these issues by dividing waste into three categories: ① General household waste bins, ② Medical waste bins, and ③ Sharps waste bins – each divided into two sections: a sharps container area and an infusion bottle collection area. Each bin contains a bagging device (the sharps container area has a shelf for the containers). Each bin has its own door and handle, and a foot pedal at the bottom allows for easy removal of waste during collection. The medical waste bins also include an infusion bottle separator. This device contains a spring screw, a sensor, scissors, tweezers, and a pull-up spring. For example, the mouth of the infusion set is placed in the spring screw and locked in place. The scissors separate the infusion set, the tweezers pull out the needle inserted into the mouth of the bottle, and then the needle is sent to the sharps box area and the infusion bottle area through the pull-up spring shaft.

[0003] However, this traditional waste collection and disposal method has many drawbacks. First, the manual operation is cumbersome. Medical staff need to manually separate different types of waste before placing them into the corresponding bins, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also prone to errors. Second, when handling sharps such as needles and syringes, medical staff are at high risk of being pricked, posing a significant occupational safety risk. Third, existing bins are relatively simple in function, lacking multi-functionality and only meeting basic waste collection needs without providing greater convenience. For example, ordinary bins lack automatic disinfection functions, making them prone to bacterial and viral growth after long-term use, causing secondary pollution; they also lack weighing devices, hindering the accurate tracking and management of waste weight and failing to meet the sophisticated requirements of modern medical waste disposal. Furthermore, in actual use, the design of existing bins may not be user-friendly, such as an inconveniently designed waste disposal opening, leading to problems like inconvenience in waste disposal and potential spillage.

[0004] In conclusion, existing medical waste collection and treatment technologies urgently need improvement, and a more efficient, safe, and multifunctional medical waste collection and sorting device is needed to solve the many problems currently faced. Utility Model Content

The spring is installed between the fixing block and the cutting button. The cutting button moves back and forth on the sliding track. When the cutting button moves forward, it extends out of the sharps container 2. The cutting button stops moving when it encounters the fixing block.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the device further includes a pedal and a connecting rod. The connecting rod is installed on the rear side of the medical waste compartment 1, the sharps box compartment 2, and the infusion bottle compartment 3. The pedal is installed below the medical waste compartment 1, the sharps box compartment 2, and the infusion bottle compartment 3. The rear side of the pedal is connected to the bottom of the connecting rod. The middle position of the pedal passes through a pedal pivot, and the pedal rotates back and forth around the pedal pivot.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the device further includes a lid, which is installed above the medical waste bin 1, the sharps box storage bin 2, and the infusion bottle storage bin 3. The rear side of the lid is connected to the top of the connecting rod, and the two ends of the rear side of the lid also have lid pivots.

The sliding seat of the cutter 5 also serves as the frame of the structure and is installed on the upper part of the sharps container storage compartment 2. A cutting button extends outside the sharps container storage compartment 2. The cutting button is directly pushed. When it is necessary to separate the infusion needle from the infusion set, simply insert the infusion needle into the cutting window and press the cutting button at the same time. The slider of the cutting button will push the infusion set onto the cutting blade on the other side of the cutting window. Due to the squeezing force, the cutting blade will cut the infusion set, and the needle will fall into the sharps container. The remaining part of the infusion set can be easily disposed of in the medical waste compartment 1. After the cutter 5 completes the cutting task, the cutting button will return to its original position due to the spring push. A foot pedal is set on the front of the bin. Stepping on it will cause the lid to flip up through the linkage, allowing you to see the contents of the waste bin. When not stepped on, the lid will close tightly due to gravity. An electronic scale pull plate is designed on the side, on which an electronic scale is placed for convenient weighing of medical waste.

[0053] When the cutting button is pressed with external force, it pushes the IV needle forward, causing it to strike the cutting blade and sever the IV tubing. After releasing the button, it will be automatically ejected by a spring.

[0054] The linkage pushes the lid, causing it to rotate around its pivot point, thus opening the lid.
