Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a sharps box with a cutting function. Background Technology
[0002] Sharps containers, also known as medical sharps boxes, are containers specifically designed for the collection and disposal of medical sharps. The main function of sharps containers is to safely collect and dispose of these sharps to prevent them from causing accidental injury to healthcare workers, patients, or others. At the same time, sharps containers also help reduce secondary pollution from medical waste and protect the environment.
[0003] Sharps containers typically have an opening at the top for inserting sharps. The size and shape of the opening should facilitate insertion while preventing sharps from falling out. As a type of medical waste, intravenous needles require medical staff to cut the IV tubing to separate them during recycling. Manual cutting is cumbersome. Sharps containers with a drip hole require the needle to be aligned before insertion, while open-style sharps containers can easily cause injury to medical staff when cutting the needle. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention addresses the problem that, when infusion needles are treated as medical waste, medical personnel need to cut the infusion tubing to separate the needle during recycling. Manual cutting is cumbersome, and sharps containers with drip holes require aligning the needle before placing it in. However, open sharps containers can easily cause injury to medical personnel when cutting the needle. This invention provides a sharps container with a cutting function.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: a sharps box with a cutting function, including a barrel body and a barrel lid, the barrel lid being sleeved on the barrel body, the barrel lid having a waste outlet and a slit, the waste outlet communicating with the slit, a cutter being slidably disposed inside the barrel lid, the cutter extending into the slit, a receiving ring being provided at the edge of the slit, a cutting groove being provided on the receiving ring near the cutter, a fan-shaped plate being rotatably disposed on the top of the barrel lid, a boss being provided on one side of the top of the barrel lid, a pressure rod being slidably disposed inside the boss, a pressure plate being provided at the upper end of the pressure rod, and a return spring being sleeved on the pressure rod between the pressure plate and the boss.
[0006] Some medical waste (such as suture needles, scalpels, skin preparation knives, probes, surgical saws, and other discarded medical sharp instruments that can puncture or cut the human body) can be thrown into the bin through the disposal opening. Medical needles are placed at the incision site and the needle is cut off from the infusion tube by the cutting blade. The bin body and lid are made of sturdy and durable materials, such as medical-grade plastic or metal. The bin body and lid must have sufficient strength and rigidity to withstand the puncture and cutting of sharp instruments.
[0007] As an improvement, the barrel is an open barrel, and a suction cup is provided on the bottom surface of the barrel.
[0008] As an improvement, a rotating plate is provided in the middle of the fan-shaped plate. After the fan-shaped plate is rotated, it can cover the waste opening and the cut and press against the side of the protrusion.
[0009] As an improvement, the boss has a cavity, the cutter has a sliding plate at its rear end, the sliding plate extends into the cavity and has a slot on one side, the pressure rod is located in the slot, and the barrel cover has a rod hole communicating with the cavity, the rod hole is located directly below the pressure rod.
[0010] As an improvement, the slide plate is hinged to both sides of the slot, and the upper end of the connecting rod is hinged to both sides of the pressure rod.
[0011] The advantages of this utility model are: it is easy to use, improves the protection of medical staff during operation, the waste disposal port and incision are connected, making it convenient to dispose of medical waste, and when separating the needle and infusion tube, the needle can be quickly placed at the incision for cutting. This process only requires one hand to suspend the infusion tube and the other hand to press the pressure plate to complete the cutting operation. The operation is simple and can avoid the problem of injury caused by medical staff manually cutting the tube. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0017] Combined with appendix Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3A sharps box with cutting function includes a barrel body 1 and a barrel lid 2. The barrel lid 2 is fitted onto the barrel body 1. The barrel lid has a waste outlet 3 and a cutting opening 4. The waste outlet 3 and the cutting opening 4 are connected. A cutter 5 is slidably disposed inside the barrel lid 2 and extends into the cutting opening 4. A receiving ring 6 is provided at the edge of the cutting opening 4. A cutting groove 7 is provided on the receiving ring 6 near the cutter 5. A fan-shaped plate 8 is rotatably disposed on the top of the barrel lid 2. A boss 9 is provided on one side of the top of the barrel lid 2. A pressure rod 10 is slidably disposed inside the boss 9. A pressure plate 11 is provided at the upper end of the pressure rod 10. A return spring 12 is sleeved on the pressure rod 10 and located between the pressure plate 11 and the boss 9.
