Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of medical sharps containers, and more particularly to a medical sharps container with improved safety. Background Technology
[0002] A medical sharps container is a device specifically designed for the collection and disposal of medical sharps. These sharps, such as syringes, IV needles, scalpel blades, and suture needles, may carry the patient's blood, bodily fluids, or other potentially infectious substances during use, and therefore must be properly disposed of to prevent cross-infection and environmental contamination.
[0003] In related technologies, a medical sharps container includes a container body and a lid. The lid is fixed to the upper opening edge of the container body, and the lid has a feeding port for inserting a sharps into the container body, and a sealing plate hinged to it to block the feeding port. To facilitate needle breakage, the lid has a breakage notch at the edge of the feeding port. When the sealing plate closes the feeding port, it also simultaneously covers the breakage notch to maintain the container's airtightness.
[0004] However, in actual use, this design has revealed certain safety hazards. Specifically, when medical personnel need to break the needle on the syringe and put it into the box, although the operation can be completed by opening the sealing plate, inserting the needle into the breaking notch, and applying force to break it, the relatively large opening of the feeding port means that the broken needle part may bounce back from the feeding port to the outside due to inertia or improper operation. This may not only contaminate the surrounding environment but also pose a direct threat to the operator, increasing the risk of cross-infection and posing a safety hazard. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a medical sharps box with improved safety, which solves the problem in the above-mentioned related technologies that when a needle breaks, it may bounce back from the feeding port to the outside of the box and cause contamination.
[0006] The improved safety medical sharps box provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] An improved safety medical sharps box includes a box body and a box lid mounted on the box body. The box lid has a feeding port and a sealing cap for sealing the feeding port.

The side edge of the adjusting plate away from the cover body is detachably connected to the box lid.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when the needle breaks, due to the hinged design of the adjusting plate and the cover, the operator can only open the adjusting plate, thereby reducing the opening size of the feeding port in this state, reducing the possibility of the needle springing back to the outside, and enhancing the corresponding safety performance.
[0009] Optionally, a first locking block is fixed on the adjustment plate, and a first locking groove is provided on the cover. The first locking block can be inserted into the first locking groove after the adjustment plate rotates towards the cover.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, when the adjustment plate rotates towards the cover to the contact state, due to the cooperation between the first locking block and the first locking slot, the first locking block can be inserted into the first locking slot synchronously with the rotation of the adjustment plate, thereby improving the installation stability of the adjustment plate in this state.
[0011] Optionally, the lid is provided with a second slot, and the first card block can be inserted into the second slot after rotating synchronously with the adjustment plate and the lid towards the lid.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when the adjustment plate and the cover body rotate synchronously towards the box cover to the contact state, due to the opening of the second slot on the cover body, the first card block on the adjustment plate is inserted into the second slot, and the second card block is inserted into the first slot along its own guide slope.
[0013] Optionally, the cover is fixedly provided with a second card block that can be inserted into the first card slot; after the first card block is inserted into the second card slot, the second card block is simultaneously inserted into the first card slot, thereby improving the installation stability of the state adjustment plate and the cover.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, when the adjustment plate and the cover are rotated synchronously towards the box cover to the contact state, the second locking block is inserted into the first locking slot simultaneously due to the setting of the second locking block, thereby further improving the installation stability of the adjustment plate and the cover in this state.
[0015] Optionally, guide slopes are provided on the side edges of both the first and second card blocks.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, it is convenient for the first card block to be inserted into the second card slot along its own guide slope, and for the second card block to be inserted into the first card slot along its own guide slope.
[0017] Optionally, a guide sleeve is fixedly provided on the side of the box cover facing the box body around the opening edge of the feeding port, and the cross-sectional dimensions of the guide sleeve decrease in the direction away from the box cover.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the opening of the feeding port is further reduced due to the installation and application of the guide sleeve on the box cover, thereby reducing the possibility of the needle bouncing back to the outside.
[0019] Optionally, a locking hook is fixed on the adjustment plate, and a locking hole is provided on the box cover for the locking hook to be inserted.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when the locking hook on the adjustment plate is inserted into the locking hole, the adjustment plate and the cover will completely block the feeding port and the broken notch, thereby improving the installation and fixation of the sealing plate and the box cover in this state.
[0021] Optionally, the adjustment plate is fixed with a filling block that can be inserted into the break-off notch.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, when the regulating plate and the cover completely block the feeding port, due to the setting of the filling block on the regulating plate, the filling block on the regulating plate is simultaneously inserted into the broken notch, thereby further improving the installation stability of the regulating plate in this state.
[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0024] 1. Due to the hinged design of the adjustment plate and the cover, when the needle breaks, the operator can simply open the adjustment plate to reduce the opening size of the feeding port in this state, thereby reducing the possibility of the needle springing back to the outside and enhancing the corresponding safety performance.

[0034] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to all the accompanying drawings.
[0035] Example:
[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 An improved safety medical sharps box includes a box body 1, a box cover 2 installed on the box body 1 with a feeding port 21, and a sealing cover for sealing the feeding port 21. The box cover 2 has a breakage notch 22 on the inner edge of the opening of the feeding port 21 for inserting and breaking a needle.
[0037] The sealing cover includes a cover body 31 and an adjusting plate 32 hinged to one side of the cover body 31. The side edge of the cover body 31 away from the adjusting plate 32 is rotatably connected to the box cover 2, and the rotation axes of the cover body 31 and the adjusting plate 32 are parallel. The edge of the adjusting plate 32 away from the cover body 31 is detachably connected to the box cover 2.
[0038] The box body 1, box cover 2, and sealing plate 3 are all made of polypropylene. When the needle breaks, only the adjusting plate 32 can be opened, thereby reducing the opening size of the feeding port 21 in this state, reducing the possibility of the needle springing back to the outside, and enhancing the corresponding safety performance.
[0039] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 A guide sleeve 4 is fixed on the side of the box cover 2 facing the box body 1 around the opening edge of the feeding port 21. The cross-sectional size of the guide sleeve 4 decreases in the direction away from the box cover 2, thereby reducing the opening of the feeding port 21 and reducing the possibility of rebound.
[0040] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4Two locking hooks 321 are integrally formed on the side edge of the adjusting plate 32 away from the cover 31. At the same time, a locking hole 23 is provided on the cover 2 for the locking hooks 321 to be inserted. When the locking hooks 321 on the adjusting plate 32 are inserted into the locking hole 23, the adjusting plate 32 and the cover 31 together completely block the feeding port 21 and also block the broken notch 22.
[0041] The adjusting plate 32 has an integrally formed filling block 322 that can be inserted into the break-off notch 22. When the adjusting plate 32 and the cover 31 completely block the feeding port 21, the filling block 322 on the adjusting plate 32 is inserted into the break-off notch 22 at the same time, thereby improving the installation stability of the adjusting plate 32 in this state.
[0042] Reference Figure 5 The adjusting plate 32 has an integrally formed first locking block 323, and a first locking groove 311 is provided on the cover 31. When the adjusting plate 32 rotates towards the cover 31 to the abutting state, the first locking block 323 is inserted into the first locking groove 311 as the adjusting plate 32 rotates, thereby improving the installation stability of the adjusting plate 32 in this state.
[0043] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 The lid 2 has an integrally formed second locking block 24 that can be inserted into the first locking slot 311. The lid 2 has a second locking slot 25, and the side edges of the first locking block 323 and the second locking block 24 are provided with guide slopes 3231. When the adjusting plate 32 and the lid 31 are rotated synchronously towards the lid 2 to the abutment state, the first locking block 323 is inserted into the second locking slot 25 along its own guide slope 3231, and the second locking block 24 is inserted into the first locking slot 311 along its own guide slope 3231.
[0044] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows:
[0045] When the needle breaks, the staff only opens the adjusting plate 32 and rotates the adjusting plate 32 toward the cover 31 until it is in contact. At this time, the first locking block 323 is inserted into the first locking slot 311 as the adjusting plate 32 rotates.
[0046] When other impurities are fed in, the adjusting plate 32 and the cover 31 are rotated synchronously towards the box cover 2 until they are in contact. The first locking block 323 is inserted into the second locking slot 25 along its own guide slope 3231, and the second locking block 24 is inserted into the first locking slot 311 along its own guide slope 3231.
