Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of medical auxiliary equipment, specifically a waste infusion bottle disposal mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Hospitals consume a large amount of saline and sterile water for injection from discarded plastic infusion bottles every day for preoperative anesthesia preparation, intraoperative abdominal irrigation, and postoperative sputum suction. These bottles usually contain residual liquid. Sterile liquids are for single use only and cannot be reused on other patients. The bottles need to be collected and disposed of centrally. If these liquids are left in the bottles, the weight of the transported liquids will increase during the same collection and disposal process, leading to increased processing costs. Furthermore, leakage may pose a risk of contamination, which is detrimental to maintaining a clean and hygienic hospital environment and will increase the workload of medical staff. Therefore, the residual liquid in the bottles is usually poured out before centralized disposal. Currently, this mainly relies on medical staff to open the bottle caps and then pour the liquid out by hand, which is time-consuming, extremely slow, and wastes human resources. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, specifically those raised in the background section, this utility model proposes a waste infusion bottle processing mechanism. The mechanism includes a housing, a pair of retaining plates, a partition plate, and a baffle. One end of the housing is fixedly connected to the partition plate, which divides the housing into a first collection chamber and a second collection chamber. Symmetrical retaining plates are fixedly connected to the upper side of the partition plate. A groove is formed between the pair of retaining plates and extends to the upper part of the partition plate. The baffle is fixedly connected to the other end of the housing. A driving structure is installed on one side of the housing, and a cutting processing structure is installed inside the housing.

[0004] The drive structure includes a motor, a pair of gears, a pair of pulleys, and a belt;

[0005] An L-shaped plate is fixedly connected to one side of the housing. The motor is fixedly connected to the vertical side of the L-shaped plate. The central shafts of a pair of gears are bearing-connected to the upper part of one side of the housing. The pair of gears mesh with each other. The output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the other side of one of the gears. One end of the central shaft of each pair of gears passes through the housing and is fixedly connected to the corresponding rotating shaft one. One end of the rotating shaft one is bearing-connected to and passes through the partition plate. The two ends of the rotating shaft two are bearing-connected between the housing and the partition plate. One end of the rotating shaft two passes through the housing and is fixedly connected to one of the pulleys. The other pulley is fixedly connected to the other side of the other gear. The pair of pulleys are connected by a belt.

[0006] A further feature of this invention is that the cutting processing structure includes a pair of cutting rollers, a cutting disc, a first inclined plate, and a second inclined plate.

[0007] The other end of the second rotating shaft is fixedly connected to and passes through the middle of the cutter disc. The cutter disc consists of a disc and a set of evenly arranged cutters. One end of each pair of rotating shafts is fixedly connected to the corresponding cutter rollers. The other end of each pair of cutter rollers is bearing-connected to the other side of the housing. The cutter disc is located diagonally above the pair of rotating shafts. The bottom of the first collection chamber is fixedly connected to the first inclined plate. One side of the housing is provided with a movable discharge door. The lower part of the first inclined plate is flush with the lower opening of the first movable discharge door. The bottom of the second collection chamber is fixedly connected to the second inclined plate. The adjacent side of the housing is provided with a movable discharge door. The lower part of the second inclined plate is flush with the lower opening of the second movable discharge door. The second inclined plate is provided with a set of evenly arranged through holes. One side of the housing is fixedly connected to a valve, which is located below the second inclined plate.

[0008] A further feature of this invention is that the lower end of the chute is higher than the first rotating shaft, and the bottom of the chute is a sloping surface.

[0009] A further feature of this invention is that the necks of a group of infusion bottles are slidably engaged in the groove, the stopper of the infusion bottle is located above the first collection chamber, the body of the infusion bottle is located above the second collection chamber, the bottom of the infusion bottle is attached to one side of the baffle, a handle is provided on the upper side of the pressure plate, an arc-shaped surface is provided on the lower side of the pressure plate, and a pair of clamping plates and the baffle are attached to both sides of the pressure plate.

[0010] A further feature of this invention is that the upper edge of the box is higher than 1.5 times the width of the infusion bottle body to prevent liquid from splashing out during cutting.

[0011] The beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model secures the neck of the plastic infusion bottle in a sliding groove and places the bottom of the bottle against one side of the baffle. At this time, the infusion bottle is in a horizontal state. A group of infusion bottles is vertically secured between the sliding groove and the baffle in this manner. The motor is started, and the cutter of the cutting disc rotates to cut off the bottle stopper. The bottle body is cut by a pair of cutting discs. The pressure plate assists in pressing down on the infusion bottle, keeping it in a flat state as it slides downward. The cut bottle body falls on the inclined plate two, and the residual liquid flows into the bottom of the collection chamber two through the through hole and is discharged through the valve. This replaces the traditional method of manually pouring out the liquid, improving the processing efficiency. Since the bottle mouth of the infusion bottle is mostly sealed with a rubber stopper, this device can process the bottle body and bottle mouth separately, which is convenient for subsequent classification and processing. Moreover, the thin strips of the cut bottle body can be squeezed by an external extrusion device, reducing the area occupied by the recycling process. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The following is a reference to the appendix. Figures 1-4 The preferred embodiments of this utility model are described below. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely for explaining the technical principles of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0018] This utility model proposes a waste infusion bottle processing mechanism. When using this device, the other end of the valve is connected to a waste liquid collection and processing device. The motor 9 is started, and the motor 9 drives the corresponding gear 10 to rotate. One gear 10 drives another gear 10 meshing with it to rotate, and the other gear 10 drives the corresponding pulley 14 to rotate. One pulley 14 drives the other pulley 14 to rotate via a belt 11. A pair of gears 10 drives the corresponding rotating shaft one to rotate, and the other pulley 14 drives the rotating shaft two to rotate. The first rotating shaft drives the corresponding cutting roller 5 to rotate, and the second rotating shaft drives the cutting disc 12 to rotate. Insert the neck of an infusion bottle 2 into the groove between a pair of clamping plates 13, and place the bottom of the infusion bottle 2 against one side of the baffle 3. At this time, the infusion bottle 2 is in a horizontal position. Push one infusion bottle 2 down to the upper opening of the box 4, and then put in the second infusion bottle 2. After placing a row of infusion bottles 2, hold the pressure plate 1 and place both ends of the pressure plate 1 against the pair of clamping plates 13 and the baffle 3. Press the pressure plate 1 down, and the pressure plate 1 pushes down a group of infusion bottles 2. When the infusion bottle 2 slides down into the box 4, a set of cutters on the cutter disc 12 cuts off its bottle neck, and the bottle neck of the infusion bottle 2 falls into the inclined section of the collection chamber 1. On plate 7, the infusion bottle 2 continues to slide downwards. A pair of cutting rollers 5 rotate to cut the body of the infusion bottle 2. The body of the infusion bottle 2 falls onto the upper side of the inclined plate 6 of the collection chamber 2. At this time, the neck of the infusion bottle 2, located in the chute, falls into the collection chamber 1 along the slope of the chute. The remaining liquid in the bottle flows into the bottom of the collection chamber 2 through the through hole of the inclined plate 6. The waste liquid is discharged through the valve into the external waste liquid collection and treatment device. After processing one set of infusion bottles 2, the second set of infusion bottles 2 is placed in, and so on, to cut the infusion bottles 2. After the cutting of the infusion bottles 2 is completed, the collection... The containers are placed on either side of the movable discharge gate 1 and movable discharge gate 2. Opening both gates allows for the recycling of the cut bottle necks and bodies for further processing. This device replaces the traditional manual method of emptying liquids, improving processing efficiency. Since the bottle necks of infusion bottles 2 are mostly sealed with rubber stoppers, this device can separate the bottle body and neck for easier subsequent sorting. Furthermore, the cut bottle body strips can be compressed using an external compression device, reducing the footprint required for recycling. This device is easy to operate and suitable for processing rigid plastic infusion bottles.
