Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mercury treatment technology, and more specifically, to a disposable mercury safety treatment device. Background Technology

[0002] Thermometers, as a common medical device, are widely used in daily life and medical diagnosis. However, the mercury inside thermometers is a substance that poses a potential hazard to human health and the environment. When a thermometer is accidentally broken, the mercury leaks out rapidly, forming small droplets. These mercury droplets are not only difficult to clean, but are also easily come into contact with or are inhaled by the human body. Mercury has strong neurotoxicity. Once the human body comes into contact with mercury, especially without taking appropriate protective measures, mercury may enter the body through skin penetration, inhalation, or ingestion, thereby causing serious damage to the nervous system. Long-term exposure to mercury may also lead to neurological diseases such as memory loss, insomnia, and depression, and may even cause damage to internal organs such as the kidneys and liver.

[0003] Currently, the common method for handling mercury after a thermometer breaks involves collecting it using paper scraps, cotton swabs, or other tools, and then sealing it in a plastic bag or glass bottle. However, this method has many drawbacks, such as low collection efficiency and the risk of secondary contamination. Therefore, we propose an improved, disposable mercury safety disposal device. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems of low mercury collection efficiency and easy secondary pollution that currently exist.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned objectives, this utility model provides a disposable mercury safety treatment device to improve the above-mentioned problems.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the pull rod is used to drive the piston away from the suction tube under the action of external force. When the piston moves away from the suction tube, it is used to create a negative pressure in the suction cylinder. The negative pressure is used to absorb the spilled mercury through the suction tube.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the one-way valve allows unidirectional flow into the suction cylinder.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] In the scheme of this application:

[0019] To address the problems of low mercury collection efficiency and easy secondary pollution in existing technologies, this application uses a lever to move a piston away from the suction tube, creating a negative pressure inside the suction cylinder.

[0026] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention 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 invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0027] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0028] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0029] For an example, please refer to... Figures 1-4 A disposable mercury safety treatment device includes an absorption cylinder 1, an absorption tube 104 at one end of the absorption cylinder 1, a piston 101 inside the absorption cylinder 1, a pull rod 102 connected to the side of the piston 101 away from the absorption tube 104, the end of the pull rod 102 away from the piston 101 extending out from the end of the absorption cylinder 1 away from the absorption tube 104, and a one-way valve inside the absorption tube 104. The one-way valve prevents the absorbed mercury from being pushed out and causing secondary pollution, thereby reducing secondary mercury pollution and further protecting the environment and human health.

[0030] The one-way valve is a crucial element in protecting the environment and human health. In real-world scenarios, if mercury is spilled and accidentally pushed out after being collected, it can easily diffuse into the air, forming mercury vapor. Mercury vapor is highly volatile and toxic; inhalation can cause irreversible damage to the nervous system, kidneys, and other systems, severely impacting health. The one-way valve allows mercury to flow only in one direction into the collection cylinder 1, preventing the diffusion of mercury vapor in the indoor environment and protecting the health of the personnel handling the situation.

[0031] Furthermore, the lever 102 is used to drive the piston 101 away from the suction tube 104 under the action of external force. When the piston 101 moves away from the suction tube 104, it is used to create a negative pressure in the suction cylinder 1. The negative pressure is used to absorb the spilled mercury through the suction tube 104, which effectively avoids direct contact between the body and the mercury and achieves rapid absorption of mercury, thereby reducing the harm to the human body.

[0032] Furthermore, the one-way valve allows one-way flow into the suction cylinder 1, enabling the suction tube 104 to draw mercury into the suction cylinder 1 under negative pressure. The one-way flow design prevents the mercury in the suction cylinder 1 from being pushed out.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, a sealing sleeve 105 is fitted on the outer surface of the suction tube 104. The sealing sleeve 105 is used to seal the suction tube 104 to further reduce the leakage of mercury from the suction tube 104 in the suction cylinder 1. After the mercury is absorbed, the device may need to be moved for subsequent processing or temporarily stored for further processing. At this time, the sealing sleeve 105 is fitted on the outer surface of the suction tube 104 to seal the suction tube 104 and effectively prevent the mercury from leaking from the suction tube 104 in the suction cylinder 1.

[0034] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, a pull plate 103 is fixedly connected to the end of the pull rod 102 away from the piston 101. The pull plate 103 is used to assist in pulling the pull rod 102, making it convenient for the user to pull the pull rod 102.

[0035] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, a shovel plate 2 is fixedly connected to the side of the pull plate 103 away from the pull rod 102. The shovel plate 2 is used to collect spilled mercury. When mercury is spilled on the ground, it often disperses into many small droplets, which are difficult to collect one by one with the suction tube 104. The shovel plate 2 can push the spilled small droplets of mercury together to form large droplets of mercury, which makes it easier for the suction tube 104 to collect them. The surface of the shovel plate 2 is smooth, and mercury tends to form spherical beads, which are not easy to spread or penetrate into materials. Mercury has extremely low adhesion to most materials, especially smooth surfaces. Therefore, when the shovel plate 2 is used to collect mercury, the mercury beads will roll off completely due to their own weight and low adhesion. There is almost no mercury residue on the shovel plate 2, which reduces the potential harm to the environment.

[0036] Furthermore, a storage box 3 is provided on one side of the suction cylinder 1, which contains mercury treatment powder. In the traditional mercury cleaning process, after the visible mercury is sucked up, it is necessary to find suitable treatment materials. This not only wastes time, but may also cause the residual mercury to continue to volatilize and harm the environment because it cannot be treated in time. However, the design of this application allows users to quickly use the powder in the storage box 3 to treat the residual area after the visible mercury is sucked up. This design connects the mercury cleaning and treatment links, eliminating the need to find additional treatment materials, saving valuable time, improving work efficiency, and ensuring that areas where mercury may remain can be treated in a timely and effective manner, minimizing the potential harm of mercury to the environment and human body.

[0037] Furthermore, the mercury treatment powder is sulfur powder. Sulfur powder can be used to treat areas where mercury may remain, such as the ground, further improving the treatment effect. Sulfur reacts with mercury to form mercuric sulfide, reducing the volatility and toxicity of mercury. When using it, simply cover the area where mercury may remain with sulfur powder and let it stand for several hours until the reaction is complete. Then, put the mercuric sulfide residue together with the sealed absorption tube 1 into a leak-proof container, label it "Mercury-containing waste", and hand it over to an institution with hazardous waste treatment qualifications for harmless disposal.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the storage box 3 includes a box body 301 fixedly installed on the side of the suction cylinder 1. The box body 301 is provided with a storage groove 303, in which sulfur powder is stored. The storage groove 303 provides storage space for sulfur powder, making it more convenient to use.

[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, a sealing plug 302 is provided at the storage slot 303. The sealing plug 302 is used to seal the storage slot 303. The sealing plug 302 and the storage slot 303 are connected by plug-in or threaded connection.

[0040] The usage process of the disposable mercury safety treatment device provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0041] Remove the sealing sleeve 105, then hold the suction cylinder 1 and use the spatula 2 to push the spilled mercury droplets together to gather the mercury. Then, align the suction tube 104 with the mercury and pull the pull plate 103. The pull plate 103 drives the piston 101 to move away from the suction tube 104 via the pull rod 102 to create a negative pressure in the suction cylinder 1. The negative pressure draws in the spilled mercury through the suction tube 104. After drawing in the mercury, put the sealing sleeve 105 on the outer surface of the suction tube 104, open the sealing plug 302, and cover the area where mercury may remain with sulfur powder. Let it stand for several hours until the reaction is complete, and then collect and process it.
