Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a portable medical sharps box for preventing needlestick injuries. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of medical device technology, sharps containers are crucial medical supplies for hospital clinical departments. During clinical nursing procedures, medical staff dispose of medical waste such as IV needles, blood collection needles, and syringe needles into sharps containers after completing treatment procedures. These containers are then collected and disposed of as medical waste by specialized departments.

[0003] The commonly used cylindrical sharps containers in various clinical departments have many drawbacks. Due to their cylindrical shape, they lack stability and are prone to tipping over during use, leading to the exposure of sharps and undoubtedly increasing the potential risk of needlestick injuries. Although infection control departments have implemented measures to prevent needlestick injuries, such as using sharps containers and prohibiting the return of used needles to their sheaths, these inherent defects of traditional sharps containers have not been effectively resolved.

[0004] For example, patent application number 202121350850.6 discloses a novel portable medical sharps box for preventing needlestick injuries. While it aims to remove needle tips by incorporating partitions, pads, and a movable cover within the box, allowing the removed needle tips to be collected through a discharge port, thus preventing needlestick injuries, in actual use, a needle tip removal operation is required every time a needle tip is inserted. This not only makes the process cumbersome and complex but also consumes a significant amount of time and energy for medical personnel, greatly reducing their work experience and efficiency. Therefore, there is an urgent need for further improvement and optimization of such medical sharps boxes to better meet the actual needs of clinical work and effectively protect the occupational safety of medical personnel.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0026] Reference Figures 1-5 A portable medical sharps box for preventing needlestick injuries includes a box body 1, a box cover 2 movably installed on the outside of the box body 1, a sponge 3 placed on the inner bottom wall of the box body 1, a square plate 4 fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the box body 1, a set of openings 5 ​​opened inside the square plate 4, and a fixing mechanism 6 and a quick-release mechanism 7 provided inside the box body 1.

[0027] The fixing mechanism 6 includes two first slide rods 601 fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the box body 1. A square slide cylinder 602 is slidably connected to each of the two first slide rods 601. A connecting plate 603 is fixedly connected between the two square slide cylinders 602. Two first springs 605 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the connecting plate 603. A cover plate 607 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the two first springs 605. A rubber pad 608 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the cover plate 607.

[0028] The two first springs 605 are each fitted with a second slide rod 604. The bottom ends of the two second slide rods 604 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the cover plate 607. The two second slide rods 604 are slidably connected to the inside of the connecting plate 603 and extend to the outside of the connecting plate 603. The top ends of the two second slide rods 604 are fixedly connected to a first handle 606.

[0029] The quick-release mechanism 7 includes a vertical plate 701 fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the inner wall of the box 1, and two second springs 703 fixedly connected to the left side of the vertical plate 701.

[0030] An L-shaped clamping plate 705 is fixedly connected to the left end of the two second springs 703. The side of the L-shaped clamping plate 705 away from the second springs 703 clamps and fixes the sponge 3 by the elastic force of the spring.

[0031] The interior of each of the two second springs 703 is fitted with a third slide rod 702. The two third slide rods 702 are slidably connected to the interior of the upright plate 701 and extend to the exterior of the upright plate 701. The right end of the two third slide rods 702 is fixedly connected to a second handle 704. The end of the two third slide rods 702 away from the second handle 704 is fixedly connected to an L-shaped clamping plate 705.

[0032] A third handle 13 is fixedly connected to the front of the box body 1, a placement box 8 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the box body 1, a sliding cover 9 is slidably connected inside the placement box 8, and a protruding plate 10 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the sliding cover 9.

[0033] A first magnet 11 is fixedly connected to the side of the sliding cover 9 away from the protruding plate 10, and a second magnet 12 is attracted to the side of the first magnet 11 away from the sliding cover 9. The second magnet 12 is fixedly connected inside the placement box 8.

[0034] Reference Figure 3 In some practical applications, there are two of each of the following: box 8, sliding cover 9, protruding plate 10, first magnet 11, and second magnet 12. They are all located inside the box body 1 and are in a symmetrical state.

[0035] Reference Figures 1-5 In some practical applications, the portable medical sharps box for preventing needlestick injuries of this utility model is mainly composed of a box body 1, a box cover 2, a sponge 3, a square plate 4, an opening hole 5, a fixing mechanism 6, a quick-release mechanism 7, a storage box 8, a push-pull cover 9, a protruding plate 10, a first magnet 11, a second magnet 12, and a third handle 13. All components work together to achieve a convenient and safe medical waste storage function.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 In some practical applications, the needle tip delivery and fixing process is as follows;

[0037] The square plate 4 is positioned above the sponge 3. When medical personnel need to dispose of medical waste such as needles, they first open the lid 2, which is connected to the box body 1. Then, they align the needle tip with the opening hole 5 on the square plate 4 and insert it through the opening hole 5, allowing the needle tip to enter the sponge 3. The sponge 3 serves to initially cushion and fix the needle tip, preventing it from moving around freely inside the box body 1.

[0038] Next, the medical staff holds the first handle 606 and pulls it upwards. The upward movement of the first handle 606 causes the second slide rod 604, which is fixedly connected to it, to slide upwards inside the connecting plate 603, while simultaneously compressing the first spring 605 sleeved on the outside of the second slide rod 604. Since the connecting plate 603 is fixedly connected to the two square slide cylinders 602, and the square slide cylinders 602 are slidably connected to the first slide rod 601, when the first handle 606 is pulled, it causes the cover plate 607, which is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the connecting plate 603, to lift upwards. At this time, the rubber pad 608 on the bottom surface of the cover plate 607 is higher than the square plate 4. Then, the first handle 606 pushes the entire connecting plate 603 and its connected components to move along the first slide rod 601 toward the square plate 4 until the rubber pad 608 on the bottom surface of the cover plate 607 is above the square plate 4, at which point the medical staff releases the handle. The first handle 606, under the elastic restoring force of the first spring 605, moves the cover plate 607 downward, causing the rubber pad 608 on the bottom surface of the cover plate 607 to fit tightly against the upper surface of the square plate 4, thereby sealing the opening hole 5. This effectively prevents the needle tip from rebounding from the opening hole 5 or accidentally protruding, achieving reliable fixation of the needle tip and avoiding the risk of needlestick injury. Moreover, compared with the traditional needle tip removal sharps box, the entire operation process does not require complex cutting operations on each needle tip, greatly simplifying the disposal process, saving medical staff's time and energy, and improving work efficiency.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 In some practical applications, the sponge replacement process is as follows;

[0040] As usage time increases, sponge 3 may need to be replaced due to excessive absorption of medical waste. At this point, the medical staff grasps the second handle 704 and pulls it to the right. The rightward movement of the second handle 704 causes the third slide rod 702, which is fixedly connected to it, to slide to the right inside the upright plate 701, simultaneously compressing the second spring 703 fixedly connected between the left side of the upright plate 701 and the L-shaped clamping plate 705. Since the end of the third slide rod 702 furthest from the second handle 704 is fixedly connected to the L-shaped clamping plate 705, when the third slide rod 702 moves to the right, the L-shaped clamping plate 705 will release its grip on the sponge 3 under the elastic force of the second spring 703.

[0041] Medical staff can easily remove the old sponge 3 from the inner bottom wall of the box 1 and replace it with a new sponge 3. Then, by releasing the second handle 704, the second spring 703 extends under the elastic restoring force, pushing the L-shaped clamping plate 705 to the left, and once again firmly clamping and fixing the new sponge 3 to the inner bottom wall of the box 1, ensuring that the sponge 3 can stably play its role in cushioning and fixing the needle tip during subsequent use. The entire sponge replacement process is simple and quick, further improving the practicality and convenience of this utility model sharps box.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 In some practical applications, the storage process for small, non-sharp medical supplies is as follows;

[0043] A storage box 8 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the box body 1 for storing small, non-sharp medical supplies, such as cotton swabs and sterile cotton balls. When these items need to be stored, medical staff pull the protruding plate 10 to cause the sliding cover 9 fixedly connected to it to slide inside the storage box 8, so that the first magnet 11 fixedly connected to the sliding cover 9 separates from the second magnet 12 fixedly connected inside the storage box 8, thereby opening the opening of the storage box 8 and placing the items into the storage box 8.

[0044] After placing the items inside, medical staff push the protruding plate 10, causing the sliding cover 9 to slide towards the second magnet 12 until the first magnet 11 and the second magnet 12 attract each other, closing the opening of the storage box 8 to prevent the stored items from falling or being lost. The storage box 8, sliding cover 9, protruding plate 10, first magnet 11, and second magnet 12 are all provided in pairs and arranged symmetrically. This design increases the flexibility and practicality of the storage space, making it easier for medical staff to classify and store different types of small medical supplies, thus improving work efficiency and convenience.

[0045] A third handle 13 is fixedly connected to the front of the box body 1. When medical staff need to carry the medical sharps box of this utility model to different treatment areas, such as when making rounds in the ward or transferring between departments, they can easily lift or move the sharps box by holding the third handle 13. This solves the problem of inconvenience caused by the large size and unstable shape of traditional cylindrical sharps boxes, improves the flexibility and convenience of medical staff's work, enables them to better meet the actual needs of clinical work, and effectively protects the occupational safety and work efficiency of medical staff.

[0046] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
