Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inventory cart technology, and in particular to a multi-functional inventory cart for counting surgical items. Background Technology
[0002] While the existing multi-functional inventory carts used for surgical supplies have improved the management of supplies to some extent, there are still some areas for improvement.
[0003] For example, the garbage bags on the inventory tray lack a fixing structure. During the operation, as surgical items are continuously placed into the garbage bags, without a fixing structure, the garbage bags are prone to shifting or even falling off. This not only causes garbage to scatter, increasing the risk of contamination in the surgical area and affecting the sterile environment of the operation, but may also cause surgical items to mix with the garbage, resulting in lost items or difficulty in accurate counting. At the same time, the frequent shifting or falling off of the garbage bags requires medical staff to spend extra time and energy to sort them, which distracts medical staff from the operation and reduces work efficiency. In emergency surgical situations, this may have an adverse impact on the surgical process. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problem in the prior art that the garbage bags on the counting tray are not fixed by a fixed structure, and to propose a multi-functional counting cart for counting surgical items.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a multi-functional inventory cart for surgical instruments, comprising a column, a display screen, and a sharps container. A base plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the column. A sterilization forceps storage tray is fixedly installed on one side of the column. A surgical waste storage tray is fixedly installed on the side of the column away from the sterilization forceps storage tray. Inventory trays are fixedly installed on both sides of the column. An electronic scale is fixedly installed on the inner surface of the inventory tray. A rectangular frame is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inventory tray. A bidirectional threaded rod is rotatably connected inside the rectangular frame. A sliding plate is symmetrically threaded to the outer wall of the bidirectional threaded rod. A clamping plate is fixedly installed on the top of the sliding plate. A knob is fixedly installed at one end of the bidirectional threaded rod. A stud is threaded to the inside of the base plate. A limiting plate is installed at the bottom of the stud. A limiting post is fixedly installed on the top of the limiting plate. A throttle is fixedly installed at the top of the stud. Universal wheels are symmetrically fixedly installed at the bottom of the base plate.
[0006] Preferably, the stud is rotatably connected to the limiting plate, the limiting post is slidably connected to the base plate, and a round block is fixedly installed at the top of the limiting post. Here, the rotatable connection between the stud and the limiting plate allows the stud to smoothly screw in or out of the base plate when the handle at the top of the stud is turned, without interference from the limiting plate. The slidable connection between the limiting post and the base plate provides stable guidance for the limiting plate during adjustment by the stud, preventing deviation or shaking. The round block fixedly installed at the top of the limiting post prevents the limiting post from completely disengaging from the base plate during sliding.
[0007] Preferably, the slide plate and the rectangular frame are slidably connected, and the outer wall of the knob is uniformly provided with anti-slip grooves. Here, the slidable connection between the slide plate and the rectangular frame allows the slide plate to slide smoothly in a straight line within the rectangular frame accurately through threaded transmission when the bidirectional threaded rod rotates. The anti-slip grooves increase the friction between the user's hand and the knob.
[0008] Preferably, the display screen is fixedly connected to the column, and electrically connected to the electronic scale. Here, the fixed connection between the display screen and the column ensures the screen is securely mounted on the column, while the electrical connection allows for accurate real-time transmission of data such as the weight of surgical instruments measured by the electronic scale to the display screen for display.
[0009] Preferably, a fixing shell is fixedly installed on the front of the column, and a plug rod is slidably connected inside the fixing shell. A limiting groove is formed between the plug rod and the top of the fixing shell. A fixing plate is symmetrically fixedly installed on the side of the column near the fixing shell. A fixing column is fixedly installed inside the fixing plate. A long plate is slidably connected to the outer wall of the fixing column. A plug block is fixedly installed at the bottom of the long plate. A spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the fixing column. Here, by pushing the long plate upward, it slides upward along the outer wall of the fixing column. During the upward sliding process, the long plate will compress the spring upward. After a certain degree of compression, the plug block at the bottom of the long plate will move away from the limiting groove. After it moves away, the plug rod can be removed from the inside of the fixing shell. After removal, the plug rod connected to the new sharps container is inserted into the fixing shell. After insertion, the long plate is released. After release, the spring's rebound force will spring the plug block into the limiting groove. Thus, the sharps container can be replaced without the use of complicated tools or cumbersome steps. In a stressful surgical environment, this simple and efficient operation method can save time and improve work efficiency.
[0010] Preferably, the insert block and the limiting groove are slidably connected, and the insert rod and the sharps container are fixedly connected. Here, the slidable connection between the insert block and the limiting groove ensures the smoothness and reliability of the installation and removal of the sharps container.
[0011] Preferably, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the long plate, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the fixed plate. Here, both ends of the spring are fixedly connected to the long plate and the fixed plate respectively. This fixed connection method ensures that the spring can accurately exert its elastic force during the entire installation and removal of the sharps box.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] 1. In this utility model, when in use, first open the garbage bag and put it on the counting tray. Then turn the knob to drive the bidirectional threaded rod to rotate, which will move the slide plate and clamping plate to clamp the garbage bag and prevent it from shifting or falling off during use. At the same time, by turning the handle, the stud will rotate inside the base plate. During the rotation of the stud, the limiting plate will drive the limiting post to slide downward inside the base plate. After sliding a certain distance, the limiting plate will abut against the ground, thus effectively preventing the counting cart from being moved by the casters during use and improving the stability of the counting cart.
[0014] 2. In this utility model, by pushing the long plate upward, it slides upward along the outer wall of the fixing column. During the upward sliding process, the long plate compresses the spring upward. After a certain degree of compression, the insert at the bottom of the long plate will move away from the limiting groove. Once it moves away, the insert can be removed from the inside of the fixing shell. After removal, the insert with the new sharps box is inserted into the fixing shell. After insertion, the long plate is released. The spring's rebound force will spring the insert into the limiting groove, thus allowing the sharps box to be replaced without using complicated tools or performing cumbersome steps. In a stressful surgical environment, this simple and efficient operation method can save time and improve work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0022] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0023] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.
[0024] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a multi-functional inventory cart for counting surgical supplies, including a column 1, a display screen 2, and a sharps box 6. A base plate 3 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the column 1. A sterilization forceps storage tray 4 is fixedly installed on one side of the column 1. A surgical droplet storage tray 5 is fixedly installed on the side of the column 1 away from the sterilization forceps storage tray 4. Counting trays 7 are fixedly installed on both sides of the column 1. An electronic scale 8 is fixedly installed on the inner surface of the counting tray 7. A rectangular frame 9 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the counting tray 7. A bidirectional threaded rod 10 is rotatably connected inside the rectangular frame 9. A sliding plate 11 is symmetrically threaded on the outer wall of the bidirectional threaded rod 10. A clamping plate 12 is fixedly installed on the top of the sliding plate 11. A knob 13 is fixedly installed at one end of the bidirectional threaded rod 10. A stud 23 is threadedly connected inside the base plate 3. A limiting plate 24 is installed at the bottom of the stud 23. A limiting post 25 is fixedly installed on the top of the limiting plate 24. A throttle 27 is fixedly installed at the top of the stud 23. Universal wheels 28 are symmetrically fixedly installed at the bottom of the base plate 3.
[0025] When in use, first unfold the garbage bag and place it on the counting plate 7. Then turn the knob 13 to drive the bidirectional threaded rod 10 to rotate, which will move the slide plate 11 and clamping plate 12 to clamp the garbage bag and prevent it from shifting or falling off during use. At the same time, turn the handle 27 to make the stud 23 rotate inside the base plate 3. During the rotation of the stud 23, the limiting plate 24 will cause the limiting post 25 to slide downward inside the base plate 3. After sliding a certain distance, the limiting plate 24 will touch the ground, thus effectively preventing the counting cart from being moved by the universal wheel 28 during use and improving the stability of the counting cart.
[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the stud 23 is rotatably connected to the limiting plate 24, and the limiting post 25 is slidably connected to the base plate 3. A round block 26 is fixedly installed on the top of the limiting post 25. The rotatable connection between the stud 23 and the limiting plate 24 allows the stud 23 to smoothly screw in or out inside the base plate 3 when the handle 27 at the top of the stud 23 is rotated, without being interfered with by the limiting plate 24. The slidable connection between the limiting post 25 and the base plate 3 provides a stable guide for the limiting plate 24 during adjustment by the stud 23, preventing deviation or shaking. The round block 26 fixedly installed on the top of the limiting post 25 prevents the limiting post 25 from completely dislodging from the base plate 3 during sliding.
[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, the slide plate 11 is slidably connected to the rectangular frame 9. Anti-slip grooves 14 are evenly provided on the outer wall of the knob 13. The slide plate 11 and the rectangular frame 9 are slidably connected, so that when the bidirectional threaded rod 10 rotates, it can accurately drive the slide plate 11 to slide smoothly in a straight line within the rectangular frame 9 through thread transmission. The anti-slip grooves 14 increase the friction between the hand and the knob 13.
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the display screen 2 is fixedly connected to the column 1, and the display screen 2 is electrically connected to the electronic scale 8. The fixed connection between the display screen 2 and the column 1 allows the display screen 2 to be stably installed on the column 1. The electrical connection between the display screen 2 and the electronic scale 8 enables the accurate transmission of data such as the weight of surgical items measured by the electronic scale 8 to the display screen 2 for display in real time.
[0029] like Figures 5-6As shown, a fixing shell 15 is fixedly installed on the front of the column 1. A sliding rod 16 is connected inside the fixing shell 15. A limiting groove 17 is formed between the rod 16 and the top of the fixing shell 15. A fixing plate 18 is symmetrically fixedly installed on the side of the column 1 near the fixing shell 15. A fixing column 19 is fixedly installed inside the fixing plate 18. A long plate 20 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the fixing column 19. A plug 21 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the long plate 20. A spring 22 is sleeved on the outer wall of the fixing column 19. By pushing the long plate 20 upward, the long plate 20 slides upward along the outer wall of the fixing column 19. During the upward sliding process, the long plate 20 will... Spring 22 is compressed upwards. After a certain degree of compression, the insert 21 at the bottom of the long plate 20 will move away from the limiting groove 17. Once it moves away, the insert 16 can be removed from the inside of the fixed shell 15. After removal, the insert 16 connected to the new sharps box 6 is inserted into the fixed shell 15. After insertion, the long plate 20 is released. After release, the rebound force of spring 22 will push the insert 21 into the limiting groove 17. Thus, the replacement of the sharps box 6 can be completed without the use of complicated tools or cumbersome steps. In a tense surgical environment, this simple and efficient operation method can save time and improve work efficiency.
[0030] like Figure 6 As shown, the insertion block 21 is slidably connected to the limiting groove 17, and the insertion rod 16 is fixedly connected to the sharps box 6. The slidable connection between the insertion block 21 and the limiting groove 17 ensures the smoothness and reliability of the installation and disassembly of the sharps box 6.
[0031] like Figure 6 As shown, one end of the spring 22 is fixedly connected to the long plate 20, and the other end of the spring 22 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 18. Both ends of the spring 22 are fixedly connected to the long plate 20 and the fixed plate 18 respectively. This fixed connection method ensures that the spring 22 can accurately exert its elastic force during the entire installation and disassembly of the sharps box 6.
[0032] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: During use, the sterilization forceps storage tray 4 on one side of the column 1 is used to store sterilization forceps, which can be easily accessed during surgery, ensuring the sterility of instruments and making them easy to manage. The intraoperative droplet storage tray 5 on the other side of the column 1 can collect instruments and other items that are accidentally dropped during surgery, preventing them from being lost or contaminating the surgical area, and facilitating subsequent counting and disposal. The counting trays 7 on both sides of the column 1 are mainly used to place and count commonly used dressings and other items during surgery. The electronic scale 8 installed inside can weigh the items placed on it, which helps to accurately count information such as the amount of dressings used during surgery. For example, for dressings such as gauze, the weight change can help determine the amount used and the amount of bleeding. The sharps box 6 is used to collect sharps such as blades and suture needles, which complies with surgical safety regulations and reduces the risk of occupational exposure to sharps. The display screen 2 is fixed on the column 1 and electrically connected to the electronic scale 8, which can display the weight data measured by the electronic scale 8 in real time, making it convenient for medical staff to view and record, and improving the accuracy and efficiency of counting surgical items. Before use, first, open the garbage bag and put it on the counting plate 7. Then, turn the knob 13. The knob 13 drives the bidirectional threaded rod 10 to rotate inside the rectangular frame 9. During the rotation of the bidirectional threaded rod 10, it drives the two sets of sliding plates 11 to slide towards the counting plate 7 inside the rectangular frame 9. During the sliding of the two sets of sliding plates 11, it drives the two sets of clamping plates 12 to move together. After moving a certain distance, the two sets of clamping plates 12 will clamp the garbage bag. This structure realizes the function of fixing the garbage bag and effectively prevents the garbage bag from easily shifting or falling off during use. At the same time, by turning the handle 27, it drives the stud 23 to rotate inside the base plate 3. During the rotation of the stud 23, it drives the limiting plate 24 to slide the limiting post 25 downward inside the base plate 3. After sliding a certain distance, the limiting plate 24 will touch the ground, thus effectively preventing the counting cart from being moved by the universal wheel 28 during use and improving the stability of the counting cart. When the sharps container 6 needs to be replaced, the long plate 20 is pushed upwards, causing it to slide upwards along the outer wall of the fixing post 19. During the upward sliding process, the long plate 20 compresses the spring 22 upwards. After a certain degree of compression, the insert 21 at the bottom of the long plate 20 will move away from the limiting groove 17. Once it moves away, the insert 16 can be removed from the inside of the fixing shell 15. After removal, the insert 16 connected to the new sharps container 6 is inserted into the fixing shell 15. After insertion, the long plate 20 is released. The rebound force of the spring 22 will spring the insert 21 into the limiting groove 17, thus allowing the replacement of the sharps container 6 to be completed without the use of complicated tools or cumbersome steps. In the tense surgical environment, this simple and efficient operation method can save time and improve work efficiency.
[0033] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
