Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sorting device technology, specifically to an auxiliary device for a sharps box. Background Technology

[0002] Sharps containers are a common type of storage device in medical waste management, primarily used for the safe collection and disposal of sharp instruments that may cause harm to the human body, such as needles, blades, scalpels, and broken glass. These devices are widely used in medical, laboratory, industrial, and other fields. Sharps containers are designed to meet certain safety standards, typically featuring puncture resistance, leak-proof design, and easy sealing to ensure that sharps do not cause harm to users or the environment.

[0003] A search revealed that prior art publication number CN 115625277 A discloses a sharps container placement and auxiliary cutting device, including a sharps container placement rack, a fixed part, a movable part, and a cutting part. The sharps container placement rack and the fixed part are connected by a crossbar. The movable part is connected to a vertical rod by a movable sleeve. The vertical rod and the crossbar are vertically connected, and the connection point is located at one-third of the crossbar closest to the fixed part. The other end of the movable part is connected to the cutting part. The cutting part includes a handle control part and a middle layer of the cutting part. The middle layer of the cutting part includes scissors and a baffle. Pulling the handle control part can close the scissors and the baffle to achieve cutting and prevent the needle from flying away.

[0004] This solution allows for the proper placement of the sharps container, which is securely fixed to one side of the treatment cart. It can also be easily and conveniently removed when the container is moved to a different location. This effectively prevents needlestick injuries and occupational exposures caused by collisions that could knock over the sharps container. At the same time, it provides a simple, safe, time-saving, and labor-saving way to store sharps, effectively preventing needlestick injuries caused by discarding sharps. It also allows for one-handed operation, improving work efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, based on the above search and combined with existing technology, the existing sharps box auxiliary device can only limit and fix the sharps box body, but cannot further limit and fix the metal sharps inside the sharps box, so as to ensure that the sharps box will not splash and cause injury to people when it is violently impacted and tipped over. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an auxiliary device for sharps containers to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A sharps container auxiliary device includes a mounting base, which includes a mounting box. A spring is mounted on the top surface of the mounting box, and a movable component is fixedly mounted on the top of the spring. Several sets of mounting rails are equidistantly arranged on the outer circumference of the mounting box, and clamping components are slidably connected in each of the sets of mounting rails. A sliding rheostat is fixedly mounted on one side of the top surface of the mounting box, and a battery module is fixedly mounted inside the mounting box. The sharps container body is placed on the top surface of the movable component.

[0009] Furthermore, the movable component includes a movable base, an electromagnet is fixedly mounted on the top surface of the movable base, and mounting arms are provided at equal intervals around the outer circumference of the movable base, the number of which is equal to the number of mounting rails. Each of the mounting arms is hinged to an active connecting rod at its end.

[0010] Furthermore, the side wall of the movable base is integrally formed with a connecting arm, and the end of the connecting arm is integrally formed with a connecting ring, which is fixedly connected to the sliding metal plate on the sliding rheostat.

[0011] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes a sliding block that is slidably connected within the mounting rail, and a plurality of active linkages are hinged at their ends away from the movable base to the sliding blocks respectively.

[0012] Furthermore, a driven link is hinged to the end of the top surface of the sliding block away from the active link. The driven link has protruding posts integrally formed on both the left and right side walls near the middle. Several mounting rails have slide rails welded and fixed on their left and right side walls near the middle. The two protruding posts are slidably connected in the two slide rails respectively.

[0013] Furthermore, a rotating groove is welded and fixed to the end of the driven link away from the sliding block, and a rotating block is rotatably connected in the rotating groove. An installation plate is integrally formed on the outer wall of the rotating block, and a fixing claw for fixing and clamping the sharps box body is movably installed on the installation plate.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. In this utility model, a moving component drives several clamping components to move, and controls several fixed claws to fix the sharps box body in the horizontal direction, thereby enhancing the stability of the sharps box body and preventing personnel from accidentally knocking over the sharps box body.

[0016] 2. In this utility model, an electromagnet is connected in series with a sliding rheostat and a battery module. The sliding metal plate of the sliding rheostat is moved downward by the moving base, which reduces the resistance value of the sliding rheostat in the circuit. The current of the battery module increases, which strengthens the attraction force of the electromagnet on the metal sharps in the sharps box body. This limits the attraction of the metal sharps in the sharps box body and prevents them from splashing and causing injury when the sharps box body is violently impacted and tipped over.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-3A sharps box auxiliary device includes a mounting base 1, which includes a mounting box 11. A spring 2 is mounted on the top surface of the mounting box 11, and a moving component 3 is fixedly mounted on the top of the spring 2. Several sets of mounting rails 12 are equidistantly arranged on the outer circumference of the mounting box 11. Specifically, the bottom surfaces of the ends of the several sets of mounting rails 12 are glued with support feet 13, which are made of non-slip rubber. Clamping components 4 are slidably connected inside the several sets of mounting rails 12. A sliding rheostat 5 is fixedly mounted on one side of the top surface of the mounting box 11. Specifically, a fixing plate 14 is integrally formed on one side of the top surface of the mounting box 11, and the sliding rheostat 5 is fixedly mounted on the fixing plate 14 by bolts. A battery module 6 is fixedly mounted inside the mounting box 11. Specifically, the bottom surface of the mounting box 11 is open, and the battery module 6 and the sliding rheostat 5 are electrically connected by wires. A sharps box body 7 is placed on the top surface of the moving component 3. Specifically, the top surface of the sharps box body 7 has an inlet 71 for sharps to enter and exit.

[0025] Example 2: Please refer to Figures 2-5 A sharps box auxiliary device, differing from Embodiment 1, in that the moving component 3 includes a moving base 31, with an electromagnet 32 ​​fixedly mounted on the top surface of the moving base 31. Specifically, a recessed mounting groove 311 is formed at the center of the top surface of the moving base 31, and the electromagnet 32 ​​is fixedly installed in the mounting groove 311. The electromagnet 32 ​​is electrically connected to a sliding rheostat 5 and a battery module 6 via wires, and the electromagnet 32 ​​is connected in series with the sliding rheostat 5 and the battery module 6. The outer circumference of the moving base 31 is provided with mounting arms 312 at equal intervals, equal to the number of mounting rails 12. Each mounting arm 312 has an active connecting rod 3 hinged to its end. 3. The side wall of the movable base 31 is integrally formed with a connecting arm 313, and the end of the connecting arm 313 is integrally formed with a connecting ring 314. The connecting ring 314 is fixedly connected to the sliding metal piece on the sliding rheostat 5. Specifically, the gravity of the sharps box body 7 applies downward pressure to the movable base 31, the movable base 31 compresses the spring 2 and moves downward, and the movable base 31 drives the sliding metal piece of the sliding rheostat 5 to move downward through the connecting arm 313, thereby reducing the resistance value of the sliding rheostat 5 in the circuit, increasing the current of the battery module 6, and indirectly enhancing the attraction force of the electromagnet 32 ​​on the metal sharps in the sharps box body 7.

[0026] The clamping assembly 4 includes a sliding block 41, which is slidably connected within the mounting rail 12. Specifically, both sides of the mounting rail 12 have through grooves 121. Both sides of the sliding block 41 have integrally formed protrusions 411, which are slidably connected within the grooves 121. Several active connecting rods 33 are hinged at their ends away from the movable base 31 to several sliding blocks 41. A driven connecting rod 42 is hinged to the top surface of the sliding block 41 at its end away from the active connecting rod 33. The driven connecting rod 42 has integrally formed protrusions 421 on its left and right side walls near the center. Several mounting rails 122 are welded and fixed to their left and right side walls near the center. Two protrusions 421 are slidably connected to the two rails 12. Inside the slide rail 122, a rotating groove 422 is welded and fixed to the end of the driven connecting rod 42 away from the sliding block 41. A rotating block 43 is rotatably connected inside the rotating groove 422. An installation plate 431 is integrally formed on the outer wall of the rotating block 43. Specifically, a limiting plate 423 is provided on the outer wall of the rotating groove 422 to prevent the rotating block 43 from flipping downward. A fixing claw 44 for fixing and clamping the sharps box body 7 is movably installed on the installation plate 431. Specifically, a sliding hole is opened on the installation plate 431. A sliding column 441 is integrally formed on the fixing claw 44. The sliding column 441 is slidably connected in the sliding hole. A spring 45 is sleeved on the outer wall of the sliding column 441. The spring 45 abuts against the end face of the installation plate 431.

[0027] Working principle: The operator places the sharps container body 7 on the movable base 31. The movable base 31 is subjected to the gravity of the sharps container body 7, and the movable base 31 compresses the spring 2 and moves downward. At this time, the movable base 31 drives the sliding blocks 41 to slide in the mounting rails 12 through the active connecting rods 33 that are hinged to it. The movement of the sliding blocks 41 drives the protrusions 421 of the driven connecting rods 42 that are hinged to it to slide downward in the slide rails 122. The end of the driven connecting rods 42 presses down and drives the rotating block 43 and the fixed claw 44 to move towards the sharps container body 7 until the fixed claws 44 together clamp the sharps container body 7. At this time, the spring 45 on the fixed claw 44 is compressed, providing support for the fixed claw 44.

[0028] Workers place used waste sharps into the sharps container body 7 through the feed inlet 71. As the weight of the sharps container body 7 increases, springs 1 and 2 continue to compress, making the clamping jaws 44 more stable in holding the sharps container body 7. At the same time, the moving base 31 continues to move downward. The moving base 31 drives the sliding metal plate of the sliding rheostat 5 to move downward through the connecting arm 313, thereby reducing the resistance value of the sliding rheostat 5 in the circuit. The electromagnet 32 ​​is connected in series with the sliding rheostat 5 and the battery module 6, thereby increasing the current of the battery module 6. This indirectly strengthens the attraction force of the electromagnet 32 ​​on the metal sharps inside the sharps container body 7, ensuring that the sharps container body 7 will not splash and cause injury to workers when it is violently impacted and tipped over. At this point, the device is working.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
