Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a medical sharps container. Background Technology

[0002] A medical sharps container is a container specifically designed for collecting and disposing of sharp instruments generated during medical procedures. These sharp instruments include, but are not limited to, syringe needles, lancets, and IV needles. The primary purpose of a medical sharps container is to prevent these sharp instruments from being carelessly discarded and causing harm to medical personnel or others, while also ensuring the safe disposal of medical waste.

[0003] However, most medical sharps containers currently available do not have a good bilateral guiding function for the sharps being disposed of, resulting in the sharps not being evenly distributed to both sides of the container. Furthermore, when disposing of needles, the needles must be manually unscrewed and dropped into the container, increasing the risk of needlestick injury to medical personnel. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, this application provides a medical sharps container to solve the problem that existing containers do not have a good bilateral guiding function for sharps during disposal, and also require manual unscrewing of the needle and dropping it into the container.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A medical sharps container includes a container body, a fixed round tube and a baffle. A lid is fitted onto the outer side of the upper end of the container body, and a pre-made opening is provided through the front end of the lid.

[0007] A fixed round tube is installed through the inside of the right front end of the bucket lid, and plastic clips are evenly arranged at equal angles inside the upper end of the fixed round tube.

[0008] A baffle is fixedly installed in the middle of the inner side of the barrel, located directly below the barrel lid, and the longitudinal section of the baffle is an inverted "V" shape.

[0009] Furthermore, an installation cavity is provided on the rear side of the middle part of the bucket lid, and a sealing cover plate is slidably installed inside the installation cavity.

[0010] Furthermore, the width of the sealing cover is greater than the width of the prefabricated opening, and a mounting protrusion is fixedly installed on the upper front side of the sealing cover, with the upper end of the mounting protrusion extending to the middle of the bucket lid.

[0011] Furthermore, there is a certain distance between the left and right sides of the baffle and the left and right side walls of the barrel, and the horizontal width of the baffle is greater than the width of the prefabricated opening.

[0012] Furthermore, the distance between the lower edge of the baffle and the bottom of the barrel is two-thirds of the barrel's height.

[0013] Furthermore, the lower end of the fixed circular tube extends into the upper interior of the barrel body, and the lowest end of the fixed circular tube is higher than the lower right edge of the baffle.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. The horizontal width of the baffle is greater than the width of the prefabricated opening. The baffle is located directly below the prefabricated opening and has a uniform slope on both sides. This facilitates the double-sided guidance of sharp objects thrown into the prefabricated opening, making it easier to evenly distribute the thrown sharp objects to both sides of the container. At the same time, the baffle provides good protection for the thrown sharp objects, preventing them from hitting existing sharp objects in the container, bouncing up, flying out of the prefabricated opening, injuring medical personnel, or falling out of the container.

[0016] 2. By directly inserting the needle of the injection pen into the fixed cylindrical tube and applying a certain force to both the pen and the needle, the friction between the needle and the plastic clip is increased, ensuring a tight connection and securing the needle. The needle is then removed by rotating the injection pen. This step utilizes the securing effect of the plastic clip, allowing the rotation to transmit sufficient torque to loosen the connection between the needle and the injection pen. Subsequently, the needle is pushed down by the injection pen, causing it to fall into the container. This eliminates the need to manually unscrew the needle and discard it, effectively preventing needlestick injuries to medical personnel. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a medical sharps container in the first aspect of this application includes a container body 1, a fixed round tube 3 and a baffle 7. A lid 2 is fitted onto the outer side of the upper end of the container body 1, and a prefabricated opening 6 is provided through the front end of the lid 2.

[0025] The container body 1 is made of plastic, such as polypropylene (PP), which has good impact resistance and corrosion resistance, and can withstand a certain degree of external pressure and chemical corrosion. The lid 2 effectively prevents the leakage of sharp objects and the emission of odors. The lid 2 also engages with the container body 1 to ensure it will not be accidentally opened during transportation and handling. The front of the container body 1 has clear markings and warning signs; however, the image does not depict any warnings about the danger of sharp objects inside.

[0026] A fixed round tube 3 is installed through the inside of the right front end of the bucket lid 2, and plastic clips are evenly arranged at equal angles inside the upper end of the fixed round tube 3. The lower end of the fixed round tube 3 extends to the upper end of the bucket body 1, and the lowest end of the fixed round tube 3 is higher than the lower right edge of the baffle 7.

[0027] The height of the fixed tube 3 is 2-3cm to prevent the lower end of the fixed tube 3 from affecting the guide of the baffle 7 and causing sharp objects to fall into the barrel 1. The inner diameter of the fixed tube 3 is slightly larger than that of the injection pen needle. The plastic clip is used to fix the injection pen needle and make it easy to remove the injection pen needle from the injection pen.

[0028] A baffle 7 is fixedly installed in the middle of the inner side of the barrel 1, located directly below the barrel cover 2. The longitudinal section of the baffle 7 is an inverted "V" shape. There is a certain distance between the left and right sides of the baffle 7 and the left and right side walls of the barrel 1. The horizontal width of the baffle 7 is greater than the width of the prefabricated opening 6. The distance between the lower edge of the baffle 7 and the bottom of the barrel 1 is two-thirds of the height of the barrel 1.

[0029] Among them, the baffle 7 provides a good shielding effect for the thrown sharp objects, preventing the thrown sharp objects from hitting the existing sharp objects in the bucket and bouncing up, flying out of the prefabricated opening 6, injuring medical personnel or falling out of the bucket.

[0030] Meanwhile, the inverted "V" shape of the baffle 7 makes the two sides of the baffle 7 have a uniform slope, which facilitates the guidance of sharp objects thrown in from the prefabricated opening 6, and also makes it easier to evenly distribute the thrown sharp objects to both sides of the barrel 1.

[0031] During normal use of the container 1, sharp objects are usually required to be replaced when they are filled to two-thirds of the container 1. The height setting of the baffle 7 can improve the guiding effect while maximizing the capacity of the container 1, thus avoiding the waste of space.

[0032] An installation cavity 4 is provided on the rear side of the middle part of the bucket lid 2, and a sealing cover plate 5 is slidably installed inside the installation cavity 4. The width of the sealing cover plate 5 is greater than the width of the prefabricated opening 6, and an installation protrusion 8 is fixedly installed on the upper front side of the sealing cover plate 5. The upper end of the installation protrusion 8 extends to the middle of the bucket lid 2.

[0033] The mounting cavity 4 serves to install and limit the sealing cover 5. During use, the mounting protrusion 8 can be used to drive the sealing cover 5 and the mounting cavity 4 to slide, thereby opening the prefabricated opening 6, which makes it convenient to drop sharp objects into the interior of the barrel 1 through the prefabricated opening 6.

[0034] Working principle

[0035] First, place the container 1 stably on the designated surface, then snap the lid 2 onto the upper outer side of the container 1 to seal it. When discarding the needles of insulin or other injection pens, insert the needle directly into the fixed cylindrical tube 3, and apply a certain force to the pen and needle to increase the friction between the needle and the plastic clip, ensuring a tight connection and securing the needle. Then, rotate the pen to remove the needle. This step utilizes the fixing effect of the plastic clip to allow the rotation to transmit sufficient torque to loosen the connection between the needle and the pen. Subsequently, push the needle down with the pen to let it fall into the container 1, eliminating the need to manually unscrew the needle and drop it into the container, effectively preventing needle pricks to medical personnel. The use of the plastic clip to fix the needle allows the rotation to transmit sufficient torque to loosen the connection between the needle and the pen.

[0036] Holding the mounting protrusion 8, push the sealing cover 5 backward using the mounting protrusion 8, causing the sealing cover 5 to slide within the mounting cavity 4, thus opening the pre-fabricated opening 6. Discarded sharp objects can then be dropped into the container 1. At this time, the baffle 7 guides the dropped sharp objects, evenly distributing them to both sides of the container 1, preventing them from hitting existing sharp objects in the container, bouncing up and injuring medical personnel, or falling out of the container. After use, pull the sealing cover 5 using the mounting protrusion 8 to move it directly above the pre-fabricated opening 6, covering it. At this time, the front end of the sealing cover 5 engages with the front end of the container lid 2, improving the secure coverage of the sealing cover 5.

[0037] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way (as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features). For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described; these embodiments not explicitly written should also be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
