Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical waste collection and treatment technology, specifically a dual-purpose tool box. Background Technology

[0002] In hospitals, sharps containers are commonly used to collect used needles and other sharp objects. According to the regulations on the handling of needle-type sharp medical waste in the "Medical Waste Classification Catalogue (2021 Edition)," needles should be collected in sharps containers that comply with the "Standard for Special Packaging Bags, Containers and Warning Signs for Medical Waste" (HJ421). According to operating procedures, common needles, such as infusion needles, are often connected to infusion tubing or infusion sets. Before using a sharps container to collect needles, the needles need to be cut off from the infusion tubing or pulled out of the infusion set and then placed in the sharps container.

[0003] Meanwhile, in clinical practice, medical devices such as insulin pens, which require unscrewing the needles, are commonly used. After use, the insulin needles need to be unscrewed and placed in a sharps container. Because the needles are small, if medical staff manually cut or pull out the needles, they are likely to prick their hands, which can not only cause injury but also lead to the spread of disease. Although insulin needles can be removed using a matching needle cap, medical staff still need to hold the needle cap and aim it at the needle. In practice, there are frequent cases of medical staff being pricked by insulin needles.

[0004] In the prior art, some improved sharps containers exist, which use blades or scissors to replace manual needle cutting. For example, patent application number 2015102855808 discloses an improved medical sharps container, which includes a lid and a body. The lid has a V-shaped needle removal port for small syringe needles and a collection port for longer tubing infusion needles. A cutting device is provided on the lower surface of the lid near the collection port. The cutting device includes two parallel slide rails fixedly installed on the lower surface of the lid, a slider movably mounted on the two slide rails, and a limiting baffle located behind the slider between the two slide rails. One end of the shaft passes through a limiting baffle and is fixedly connected to the slider, while the other end extends out of the box cover and is connected to a button. A spring is sleeved on the connecting shaft outside the box cover, located between the box cover and the button. A blade is provided at the bottom of the slider. This patent allows medical staff to easily cut the tubing inserted from the collection port, causing the needle to fall into the sharps box, thus preventing the discarded needle from coming into contact with the medical staff's body. However, its function is relatively simple, especially for insulin needles, which require special handling. It lacks a suitable structure and cannot replace manual removal. At the same time, its cutting method does not fix the needle structure, which can easily cause operational errors. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dual-purpose tool box that is suitable for various needle structures and is safe and stable in operation.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A dual-purpose sharps box includes a box body, which includes an input panel on the top of the box body. The input panel has a needle input port. There are two needle input ports, including a cutting input port and a clamping input port. The cutting input port is provided with a cutting mechanism, and the clamping input port is provided with a clamping mechanism. The box body has a pair of collection cavities, which respectively cooperate with the cutting input port and the clamping input port. A collection box is provided in the collection cavity.

[0008] Preferably, the gripping mechanism includes a pair of symmetrically arranged arc-shaped grippers, and a push plate is connected to the outer side of each pair of arc-shaped grippers; the bottom surface of the input panel is provided with a sliding groove that cooperates with the push plate, and the push plate is slidably disposed in the sliding groove; each pair of push plates is connected to a top plate through a connecting plate.

[0009] Preferably, the top plate is coaxially arranged with the clamping inlet, and the top plate is located inside the box body; connecting plates are integrally provided on both sides of the top plate, and the connection between the connecting plates and the top plate is elastically bent; the ends of the connecting plates and the push plate are connected through shaft holes.

[0010] Preferably, a pair of fixing blocks are symmetrically arranged on the bottom surface of the input panel, and a spring is fixedly installed on each of the fixing blocks; the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the end of the push plate, and the springs are all compression springs.

[0011] Preferably, the cutting mechanism includes a sliding button, and a sliding groove is provided on the input panel to cooperate with the sliding button. The sliding groove is a through groove structure. The sliding button is fixedly connected to the cutting blade through the sliding groove. A slider is provided at the bottom of the cutting blade. A moving block is provided at the bottom of the cutting blade. A sliding groove is provided at the top of the moving block to cooperate with the slider.

[0012] Preferably, a positioning block is provided on the bottom surface of the input panel in cooperation with the cutting-type input port and the moving block, and a cutting groove is provided on the positioning block to cooperate with the cutting blade; a pair of limiting blocks are symmetrically provided on the top of the inner side of the needle receiving cavity, and a spring is fixedly provided on the limiting block; a pair of limiting flanges are symmetrically provided on both sides of the moving block, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the limiting flange, and all springs are tension springs.

[0013] Preferably, the sum of the maximum moving length of the moving block and the length of the sliding groove at the top of the moving block is not greater than the length of the sliding groove on the input panel; a spring is provided in the sliding groove at the top of the moving block, and the spring is a compression spring; a notch is provided on the positioning block to cooperate with the cutting edge of the cutting blade.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] This utility model is a dual-purpose sharps container for the safe storage of medical needles, insulin needles, etc. The container has two storage cavities, one for storing regular needles and the other for insulin needles. Two inlets are provided for each storage cavity, and needle removal mechanisms are provided at each inlet for both regular and insulin needles. These mechanisms allow for the safe and quick removal of used needles, which fall into the storage cavities. The needle removal mechanism prevents medical personnel from being pricked when manually removing needles. Furthermore, because the needle is directly connected to the storage cavity, the removed needle falls directly into the cavity, eliminating the safety hazard of lost needles during removal.

[0016] This invention addresses the disassembly principle of insulin needles by incorporating a dedicated insulin needle removal mechanism. When an insulin pen with an insulin needle is inserted through the clamping inlet, the needle touches the top plate, pushing it downwards. As the top plate moves downwards, it in turn causes the arc-shaped clamping forceps to grip the insulin needle. Medical personnel can then simply rotate the insulin pen to remove the insulin needle, which naturally falls into the storage cavity. The entire process can be operated with just one hand and is safe and contactless.

[0017] This invention also includes an insertion port for general needles. A sliding button is used to push the cutting blade to cut the needle inserted into the insertion port, causing it to fall into the receiving cavity. This invention also includes a moving block structure that moves in conjunction with the cutting blade. By cooperating with the positioning block, the needle can be pre-clamped before the cutting blade touches it, making it easier for the cutting blade to cut the needle off the tubing. For needle types that do not need to be cut but need to be removed, they can also be clamped by the moving block and then removed, greatly expanding the scope of application of this invention.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] Example 1

[0027] The following is a further explanation of the present invention in conjunction with specific embodiments, such as... Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment is a dual-purpose sharps container for collecting medical needles, specifically for collecting general needles and insulin needles. For the two different types of needles, two storage cavities are provided within the container body 1: a needle storage cavity and an insulin needle storage cavity. Each storage cavity is fitted with a collection box 2, which can be placed inside the container body 1 like a drawer. Needles entering the sharps container will fall into the collection box 2 for collection. The collection box 2 can be made of transparent material, and a transparent observation strip 19 is provided on the container body 1, allowing observation of the number of needles collected in the collection box 2. When the number of needles in the collection box 2 reaches 3 / 4, the collection box 2 can be removed for unified processing.

[0028] In conjunction with the two storage cavities, two injection ports are respectively provided on the injection panel at the top of the box body 1: a clamping injection port 11 located at the top of the insulin needle storage cavity, and a cutting injection port 12 located at the top of the needle storage cavity; the clamping injection port 11 has a circular opening structure, and its opening diameter is 1.5-2 times the diameter of the insulin needle mounting part; the cutting injection port 12 is provided with a ramp structure, which is used to limit the position of the needle after insertion without reducing the size of the cutting injection port 12, thereby improving the cutting effect.

[0029] In this embodiment, a clamping mechanism is provided at the clamping inlet 11, such as... Figure 2As shown, the device includes a pair of arc-shaped clamping forceps 33 for gripping insulin needles. The inner surfaces of the arc-shaped clamping forceps 33 are provided with anti-slip strips to provide a non-slip fixation effect when gripping the mounting portion of the insulin needle. A push plate 32 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the arc-shaped clamping forceps 33, and a sliding groove is provided on the inner top of the housing 1 to cooperate with the push plate 32, allowing the push plate 32 to slide horizontally along its length under the restriction of the sliding groove. The ends of the two push plates 32 are connected together by a pair of connecting plates 31 and a top plate 3. The connecting plates 31 and the top plate 3 are connected in an elastically bent integral manner, and the connecting plates 31 and the push plates 32 are connected by a shaft hole. When the top plate 3 is pushed downwards, it will drive the push plate 32 to slide inwards through the connecting plates 31, thereby driving the arc-shaped clamping forceps 33 to move inwards and grip the insulin needle inserted into the gripping inlet 11. Figure 3 As shown.

[0030] At the top of the insulin needle storage cavity inside the housing 1, a pair of fixing blocks 14 are symmetrically arranged relative to the clamping insertion port. The fixing blocks 14 are connected to the push plate 32 on the same side by springs 4. Here, the springs 4 are contraction springs. When the push plate 32 moves inward, the contraction springs 4 will provide an outward pulling force. When there is no external force, the push plate 32 will be pulled outward back to the initial position, thus completing the reset of the insulin needle removal mechanism.

[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment has a cutting mechanism at the cutting inlet 12, which includes a needle clamping mechanism and a needle cutting mechanism. The needle cutting mechanism includes a cutting blade 5 controlled by a sliding button 13. A groove 15 is provided on the housing 1 to cooperate with the sliding button 13, allowing the sliding button 13 to slide horizontally towards and away from the cutting inlet 12 within the groove 15. The bottom of the sliding button 15 is fixedly connected to the cutting blade 5, and the cutting edge of the cutting blade 5 is positioned towards the cutting inlet 12. When the sliding button 15 slides towards the cutting inlet 12, the cutting blade 5 moves simultaneously and cuts the needle at the cutting inlet 12. When the sliding button 15 is in its initial state, i.e., when it is furthest from the cutting inlet 12, the cutting blade 5 does not obstruct the cutting inlet 12. When the sliding button 15 moves to the position closest to the cutting inlet 12, the tip of the cutting edge of the cutting blade 5 completely passes through the opening of the cutting inlet 12, as shown in the figures below. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown.

[0032] The needle gripping mechanism includes a movable block 51. The top of the movable block 51 is provided with a sliding groove along its length, and the bottom of the cutting blade 5 is provided with a slider that cooperates with the sliding groove, so that the movable block 51 and the cutting blade 5 are slidably connected. On the other side of the bottom of the cutting inlet 12, a positioning block 16 is provided. The positioning block 16 is fixedly provided on the inner side of the box body 1 and cooperates with the movable block 51. When the movable block 51 moves, it can cooperate with the positioning block 16 to form a gripping structure. The top of the positioning block 16 is provided with a notch that cooperates with the cutting edge of the cutting blade 5, so that the cutting blade 5 can be used to accommodate its cutting edge when cutting.

[0033] When the needle gripping and cutting mechanism is in its initial state, such as Figure 5 As shown, at this time, the slider 13 is located at the position furthest from the cutting inlet 12, and the top of the moving block 51 does not exceed the opening of the cutting inlet 12, so as not to affect the insertion of the needle. At the same time, at this time, the top of the moving block 51 exceeds the cutting edge of the cutting blade 5. When the slider 13 moves, pushing the moving block 51 and the cutting blade 5 to move, the moving block 51 is the first to contact the needle inserted into the cutting inlet 12, that is, it first clamps and then cuts. Limiting flanges 52 are respectively provided on both sides of the moving block 51, and a pair of limiting blocks 17 are provided on the inner top of the needle receiving cavity. A spring 4 is provided between the limiting block 17 and the limiting flange 52. The spring 4 here is a compression spring. When the slider 13 is not in the initial position, that is, from the position furthest from the cutting inlet 12 to the needle insertion point, the needle is inserted into the cutting inlet 12. When the device moves in the direction of the cutting inlet 12, it compresses the spring 4, which then provides a thrust in the opposite direction. When not affected by external force, the moving block 51 is pushed back to its original position. A compression spring with the same structure is provided in the sliding groove at the top of the moving block 51. When the moving block 51 is reset, it also pushes the sliding button 13 to reset and return to its initial position. The sum of the maximum moving distance of the positioning block 51 and the length of the sliding groove on the moving block 51 is not greater than the length of the sliding groove 15 on the box 1. That is, the maximum moving distance of the cutting blade 5 is greater than the sum of the maximum moving distance of the moving block 51 and the length of the sliding groove on the moving block 51. This ensures that the end of the moving block 51 in its initial position is always ahead of the cutting edge of the cutting blade 5. When clamping, the needle can be clamped and fixed first, and then cut, thus improving the cutting performance.

[0034] In actual use, if it is necessary to collect the insulin needles after use from the insulin pen, the needle tip of the insulin pen is inserted into the clamping inlet 11, so that the tip of the insulin needle rests on the top plate 3. Then, the insulin pen is pressed down, causing the top plate 3 to be pushed down, which in turn causes the arc-shaped clamping forceps 33 to clamp the mounting part of the insulin needle. Then, the insulin pen is rotated. Since the mounting part of the insulin needle is clamped by the arc-shaped clamping forceps 33, the insulin pen and the insulin needle can rotate relative to each other until the insulin needle is unscrewed from the insulin pen. The insulin pen is then lifted upwards. After the top plate 3 is released, it will automatically reset under the pull of the spring. The removed insulin needle will fall into the collection box 2 below through the gaps on both sides to complete the collection.

[0035] If it is necessary to collect ordinary needles, insert the infusion tubing with the needle into the needle collection chamber through the cut-off inlet 12, so that the needle part is completely inside the needle collection chamber; then push the slide button 13 to the nearest end. During this process, the moving block 51 first contacts the needle and cooperates with the positioning block 16 to clamp the needle. Then the cutting blade 5 cuts off the infusion tubing connected to the needle from the top. Release the slide button 13, and the slide button 13 returns to its original position under the action of the spring 4. The cut needle will also fall down into the collection box 2 to complete the collection.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that, in this embodiment, a separate blood collection needle insertion port 18 is additionally provided on the top of the box body 1, such as... Figure 7 As shown.

[0038] In this embodiment, a separate blood collection needle inlet 18 is provided. The blood collection needle inlet 18 is a through hole structure, which is used to put in and collect used blood collection needles, such as blood glucose collection needles. Blood collection needles can be directly put into the box 1 for collection through the blood collection needle inlet 18. In order to facilitate the collection of blood collection needles, an outward radial funnel-shaped structure can also be provided at the blood collection needle inlet 18.

[0039] To prevent internal needle leakage, a structure is provided at each input port to prevent the needle from falling out: at the initial state, the clamp-type input port 11 can be blocked by the top plate 3; at the cutting-type input port 12, the sliding button 13 can be moved to make the moving block 51 and the cutting blade 5 block the input port, at which time the spring at the cutting-type input port is reversed, so that when no external force is applied, the spring pulls the cutting blade 5 and the moving block 51 to move towards the input port; and at the blood collection needle input port 18, a cover that can be manually opened and closed can be provided.

[0040] The above description is merely a further explanation of the present utility model in conjunction with specific embodiments. All descriptions made do not imply any limitation on the protection scope of the present utility model. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
