Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bottle opener technology, and in particular to an ampoule bottle opener. Background Technology

[0002] Ampoules are small glass containers used to hold medications, consisting of the bottle body and the nipple. In the medical industry, ampoules are widely used due to their excellent sealing properties. However, due to limitations in the quality of the ampoules themselves, the manufacturing process, and methods of use, incidents of accidental breakage during use, resulting in injuries to medical staff and contamination of medications, occur frequently. Currently, ampoules are often opened by nurses using a glass cutter or abrasive wheel to cut around the neck of the ampoule and then break it in half. However, this method of opening ampoules has the following problems:

[0003] Current methods of opening ampoules make it difficult to make a horizontal cut around the entire ampoule, resulting in an uneven cut that can easily injure medical staff. Furthermore, when breaking the neck of the ampoule, the hand comes into direct contact with the neck, which can easily injure the hand and is quite difficult to break. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to at least solve one of the aforementioned technical defects.

[0005] Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to provide an ampoule opener to solve the problems mentioned in the background art and overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, one embodiment of this utility model provides an ampoule opener, including a connecting base plate. A connecting hinge is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting base plate, and a breaking auxiliary rod is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting hinge. The breaking auxiliary rod is rotatably connected to the connecting base plate via the connecting hinge. A first annular fixing seat is fixedly connected to the bottom of one side of the connecting base plate, and a second annular fixing seat is fixedly connected to the bottom of the side of the breaking auxiliary rod near the annular fixing seat. A bottom clamping sleeve and a top clamping sleeve are rotatably connected to the inner walls of the first and second annular fixing seats via bushings, respectively. A telescopically adjustable cutting tool is provided on the top of the side of the connecting base plate near the first annular fixing seat, and the cutting tool can protrude from the inner wall of the bottom clamping sleeve.

[0007] Preferably, in any of the above embodiments, the cutting tool includes a guide square tube fixedly connected to the top of the connecting base plate, a transmission screw rotatably connected to the center of the end of the guide square tube away from the first annular fixed seat, the transmission screw being located at the center of the inner wall of the guide square tube, a telescopic plate slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide square tube, the transmission screw being threadedly connected to the center of the telescopic plate, a tool fixing clamp fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic plate away from the guide square tube, and a glass cutter fixedly connected inside the tool fixing clamp.

[0008] The technical effect achieved by adopting the above solution is that the output length of the telescopic plate can be controlled by rotating the transmission screw, thereby controlling the extension length of the glass cutter. This allows the glass cutter to fit tightly against the bottle neck and can also accommodate ampoules of different diameters.

[0009] Preferably, in any of the above embodiments, the length of the telescopic plate is adapted to the depth of the inner wall of the guide square tube, the length of the transmission screw on the inner wall of the guide square tube is equal to the depth of the inner wall of the guide square tube, and one end of the transmission screw passes through the outer wall of the guide square tube and is fixedly connected to a rotating head.

[0010] The technical effect achieved by adopting the above solution is that the transmission screw can be easily rotated manually by the rotating head for adjustment, and the extension range of the transmission screw and the telescopic plate can be fully utilized.

[0011] Preferably, in any of the above embodiments, the glass cutter is positioned at the top edge of the bottom clamping sleeve, and the distance from the cutting end of the glass cutter to the end of the telescopic plate near the cutter fixing clamp is less than the distance from the inner wall of the bottom clamping sleeve to the end of the guide square tube near the first annular fixing seat.

[0012] The technical effect achieved by adopting the above solution is that the cutting end of the glass cutter can be completely retracted to the outside of the first annular fixing seat, so as to move away from the bottle body.

[0013] Preferably, in any of the above embodiments, the diameter of the inner wall of the top clamping sleeve is smaller than the diameter of the inner wall of the bottom clamping sleeve, both the inner walls of the bottom clamping sleeve and the top clamping sleeve have an anti-slip layer, and both the inner walls of the top clamping sleeve and the bottom clamping sleeve have a conical structure that is smaller at the top and larger at the bottom.

[0014] The technical effect achieved by adopting the above solution is that the bottom clamping sleeve and the top clamping sleeve can fully fit the structure of the ampoule bottle neck, which is thinner at the top and thicker at the bottom, thereby improving the clamping effect. The anti-slip layer can improve the stability of the clamping and fixing.

[0015] This ampoule opener utilizes a bottom clamping sleeve and a top clamping sleeve to secure the bottom and top of the ampoule neck, respectively. The cutting blade is then pressed against the neck of the ampoule. Rotating the first and second annular fixing seats allows the cutting blade to rotate around the center of the ampoule, ensuring a horizontal cut and improving the smoothness of the cut. After cutting, the auxiliary rod is bent to one side, and the lever structure amplifies the force, making it easier to break the neck without needing to hold it by hand, thus improving safety. The ampoule opener also allows control of the extension length of the telescopic plate by rotating the transmission screw, thus controlling the extension length of the glass cutter. This ensures a tight fit between the glass cutter and the neck and accommodates ampoules of different diameters. Attached Figure Description

[0020] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, the cutting tool includes a guide square tube 8 fixedly connected to the top of the connecting base plate 1. A transmission screw 12 is rotatably connected to the center of the end of the guide square tube 8 away from the first annular fixed seat 4. The transmission screw 12 is located at the center of the inner wall of the guide square tube 8. A telescopic plate 9 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide square tube 8. The transmission screw 12 is threadedly connected to the center of the telescopic plate 9. A tool fixing clamp 10 is fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic plate 9 away from the guide square tube 8. A glass cutter 11 is fixedly connected inside the tool fixing clamp 10. By rotating the transmission screw 12, the output length of the telescopic plate 9 can be controlled, thereby controlling the extension length of the glass cutter 11. This allows the glass cutter 11 to fit tightly against the bottle neck and can adapt to ampoules of different diameters.

[0021] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, the length of the telescopic plate 9 is adapted to the depth of the inner wall of the guide square tube 8, the length of the transmission screw 12 on the inner wall of the guide square tube 8 is equal to the depth of the inner wall of the guide square tube 8, one end of the transmission screw 12 passes through the outer wall of the guide square tube 8 and is fixedly connected to a rotating head 13, the rotating head 13 facilitates manual rotation of the transmission screw 12 for adjustment, and can fully utilize the telescopic range of the transmission screw 12 and the telescopic plate 9.

[0022] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, the glass cutter 11 is located at the top edge of the bottom clamping sleeve 5. The distance from the cutting end of the glass cutter 11 to the end of the telescopic plate 9 near the cutter fixing clamp 10 is less than the distance from the inner wall of the bottom clamping sleeve 5 to the end of the guide square tube 8 near the first annular fixing seat 4, so that the cutting end of the glass cutter 11 can be completely retracted to the outside of the first annular fixing seat 4, so as to move away from the bottle body.

[0023] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, the diameter of the inner wall of the top clamping sleeve 7 is smaller than the diameter of the inner wall of the bottom clamping sleeve 5. Both the inner walls of the bottom clamping sleeve 5 and the top clamping sleeve 7 have anti-slip layers. Both the inner walls of the top clamping sleeve 7 and the bottom clamping sleeve 5 have a conical structure that is smaller at the top and larger at the bottom, so that the bottom clamping sleeve 5 and the top clamping sleeve 7 can fully fit with the structure of the ampoule bottle neck that is thinner at the top and thicker at the bottom, thereby improving the clamping effect. The anti-slip layer can improve the stability of the clamping and fixing.

[0024] An ampoule opener works on the following principle:

[0025] 1) The bottom and top of the ampoule neck can be secured by the bottom clamping sleeve 5 and the top clamping sleeve 7 respectively;

[0026] 2) Then, hold the cutting tool against the neck of the ampoule, and then rotate the first annular fixing seat 4 and the second annular fixing seat 6 so that the cutting tool can rotate around the center of the ampoule.

[0027] 3) After cutting, the auxiliary rod 3 is bent to one side by breaking it. The lever structure can amplify the force, so that the bottleneck can be broken with less effort.

[0028] In summary, this ampoule opener uses a bottom clamping sleeve 5 and a top clamping sleeve 7 to clamp the bottom and top of the ampoule neck, respectively. The cutting blade is then pressed against the neck of the ampoule. Rotating the first annular fixing seat 4 and the second annular fixing seat 6 allows the cutting blade to rotate around the center of the ampoule, ensuring a horizontal cut and improving the smoothness of the cut. After cutting, the auxiliary rod 3 is bent to one side, and the lever structure amplifies the force, making it easier to break the neck without needing to hold it by hand, thus improving safety. Rotating the transmission screw 12 controls the output length of the telescopic plate 9, thereby controlling the extension length of the glass cutter 11. This ensures the glass cutter 11 fits tightly against the neck and can accommodate ampoules of different diameters.
