[0026] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application, the scheme of the present application will be further described below. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0027] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present application, but the present application can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments.
[0028] The sharp tool box according to the embodiments of the present application will be described below in combination with the drawings.
[0029] AsFigure 1 As shown, the sharps box of this utility model embodiment may include a box body 1 and a box lid 2.
[0030] The box body 1 has multiple receiving cavities 10, each of which is adapted to the shape of a corresponding disposable medical device.
[0031] It should be noted that the disposable instrument can be one of the following: mouth mirror, tweezers, probe, blade, needle box, and suture needle. It can be understood that if the shape of the receiving cavity 10 is adapted to the shape of the disposable instrument, it means that the shape and outline of the receiving cavity 10 can be designed according to the shape of the disposable instrument.
[0032] For example, refer to Figure 1 If the cavity 10 is hook-shaped, then the cavity 10 is adapted to a hook-shaped suture needle, so that the suture needle can be placed into the cavity 10.
[0033] Therefore, only disposable instruments that are compatible with the shape of the corresponding receiving cavity 10 can be placed into the corresponding receiving cavity 10. This allows disposable instruments to be placed into the receiving cavity 10 according to their different shapes after use. Non-disposable instruments, that is, surgical instruments that need to be sterilized later (such as dental chisels, dental scalpels, gingival scissors, etc.), cannot be placed into the receiving cavity 10 because there is no compatible receiving cavity 10. They can only be placed on the box 1, thereby achieving the distinction between disposable instruments and surgical instruments.
[0034] The lid 2 is detachable from the body 1 and can slide relative to the body 1 to push non-disposable instruments away from the receiving cavity 10, while covering multiple receiving cavities 10.
[0035] Specifically, after the instruments have been used and need to be disposed of, the relevant personnel only need to push the lid 2, which slides relative to the body 1. During the sliding process, the lid 2 can not only push the surgical instruments placed on the body 1 away from the receiving cavity 10, but also quickly classify the surgical instruments and disposable instruments. This greatly reduces the workload of medical staff in manually sorting and classifying, improves the accuracy of classification, and effectively prevents the confusion and disposal of surgical instruments and disposable instruments. This greatly reduces unnecessary losses caused by accidental loss of surgical instruments, and also avoids the risk of sharp instruments injuring medical staff during classification.
[0036] In addition, the lid 2 can also cover the multiple receiving cavities 10 to prevent disposable items from falling out of the receiving cavities 10 during disposal, thus increasing the risk of environmental pollution.
[0037] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 4As shown, when the lid 2 slides relative to the box body 1, the lower surface of the lid 2 is attached to the upper surface of the box body 1.
[0038] In the above design, the lower surface of the lid 2 is tightly fitted to the upper surface of the box body 1, and the two interact through frictional sliding. This design has multiple advantages: Firstly, it serves as a detection mechanism to effectively determine whether disposable instruments have been properly placed in the receiving cavity 10. If the instruments are improperly placed, they will obstruct the sliding of the lid 2, preventing it from closing smoothly. This provides the user with intuitive feedback, ensuring the accuracy of disposable instrument placement. Secondly, this design also prevents surgical instruments from getting stuck in the gap between the lid 2 and the box body 1, causing omissions or losses. It ensures that surgical instruments can be completely removed from the receiving cavity 10 during the sorting process, thereby significantly improving the sorting effect.
[0039] In addition, the tight fit between the lid 2 and the body 1 greatly enhances the overall sealing performance, effectively preventing leakage of stains from disposable instruments after use, thereby avoiding environmental pollution.
[0040] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, two symmetrically arranged sliding grooves 12 are provided on the first side wall 11 of the box body 1, and two insert arms 20 are integrally formed on the box body 1. The two insert arms 20 are respectively inserted into and slid into the sliding grooves 12.
[0041] In the above solution, the precise positioning of the lid 2 is achieved through the ingenious cooperation between the insert arm 20 and the slide groove 12. This design not only ensures the accuracy of the assembly process, enabling the lid 2 to accurately and completely cover the multiple receiving cavities 10, but also significantly improves the stability of the lid 2 during the sliding process, avoiding the problem of inconvenience caused by shaking or displacement.
[0042] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the insert arm 20 is provided with an outwardly inclined elastic end 210. When the insert arm 20 is placed in the slide groove 12, the elastic end 210 abuts against the inner wall of the slide groove 12. It can be understood that through the abutting cooperation between the elastic end 210 and the slide groove 12, the position of the lid 2 after movement can be stably locked. This design ensures the stable arrangement of the lid 2 on the box body 1, effectively reducing the risk of the lid 2 accidentally detaching from the box body 1, thereby improving the stability of the overall structure. The elastic end 210 can be made of plastic.
[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a protrusion 211 is provided on the elastic end 210, and a limiting hole 14 is provided on the second side wall 13 of the box body 1. The limiting hole 14 is connected to the slide groove 12. When the box cover 2 covers multiple receiving cavities 10, the protrusion 211 is elastically engaged in the limiting hole 14.
[0044] It should be noted that the protrusion 211 is designed in a triangular or barb shape. Its unique shape allows it to be firmly engaged with the wall of the limiting hole 14, effectively preventing the protrusion 211 from accidentally dislodging from the limiting hole 14. At the same time, this shape design achieves a line-to-surface contact method when the protrusion 211 slides along the groove 12, significantly reducing the resistance during insertion and making the operation smoother.
[0045] Specifically, as the protrusion 211 slides within the groove 12, the groove 12 forces the elastic end 210 to generate elastic deformation potential energy. When the protrusion 211 is pushed to the position of the limiting hole 14, the elastic end 210 rapidly releases the previously stored elastic potential energy. This energy release causes the protrusion 211 to stably engage in the limiting hole 14. This enhances the stability of the engagement and further locks the position of the lid 2, effectively preventing separation between the lid 2 and the box body 1, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the sharps box.
[0046] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, a pushing part 21 extends from the side of the cover 2 away from the insertion arm 20 along the height direction of the cover 2. It can be understood that the pushing part 21 increases the contact area when pushing surgical instruments, thereby completely covering the height of the surgical instruments (such as chisel blades or scissor tips), forming a physical barrier to prevent accidental contact with sharp instruments during operation. At the same time, the extended design of the pushing part 21 makes it easier for the operator to grip and apply force. Compared to directly pushing the cover 2, the pushing part 21 provides a more comfortable and easier point of operation for applying force.
[0047] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the box body 1 has a receiving groove 15. When the box cover 2 covers multiple receiving cavities 10, the edge of the box cover 2 away from the insertion arm 20 coincides with the edge of the receiving cavity 10 near the box cover 2. This allows surgical instruments that are pushed away from the receiving cavity 10 by the box cover 2 to be directly pushed into the receiving groove 15. This allows for the centralized collection of surgical instruments that have been pushed away, while avoiding the situation where surgical instruments fall and are damaged. This greatly simplifies the subsequent collection process and significantly improves the overall work efficiency.
[0048] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1As shown, the height of the receiving cavity 10 is an integer multiple of the height of the corresponding disposable instrument. For example, the height of the receiving cavity 10 can be 1, 2, 3 times, etc., of the height of the disposable instrument, and can be set according to the actual situation.
[0049] For example, taking disposable instruments as tweezers, if the height of the receiving cavity 10 is twice the height of the tweezers, it means that the depth of the receiving cavity 10 can accommodate two tweezers, thereby increasing the number of tweezers stored in the sharps box and increasing its capacity.
[0050] Meanwhile, when the height of the receiving cavity 10 is an integer multiple of the height of the disposable instruments, the disposable instruments can be neatly stacked inside the receiving cavity 10 without any wasted space. This design allows more disposable instruments to be accommodated within the limited volume of the box 1, improving space utilization.
[0051] Furthermore, when the height of the receiving cavity 10 is an integer multiple of the height of the disposable instrument, it indicates that the upper surface of the placed disposable instrument is flush with the upper surface of the box body 1. This avoids the disposable instrument not being able to fill the receiving cavity 10 after placement, which may cause part of the surgical instrument to tilt in the receiving cavity 10 during placement, affecting the pushing of the box lid 2. It also prevents the disposable instrument from protruding out of the receiving cavity 10, which would cause the box lid 2 to be unable to be pushed.
[0052] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, one of the multiple receiving cavities, the receiving cavity 10, is blade-shaped, and a limiting piece 16 extending along the height direction is provided inside the receiving cavity 10. The limiting piece 16 is adapted to the shape of the central through groove on the blade.
[0053] In the above scheme, a limiting piece 16 is provided so that when the blade is placed into the receiving cavity 10, the limiting piece 16 is inserted into the central through groove of the blade, thereby further limiting the blade and ensuring the stability of the blade after placement.
[0054] In summary, the sharps box of this utility model enables the orderly classification and storage of disposable surgical instruments, and can also quickly distinguish between disposable instruments and surgical instruments. This not only reduces the workload of medical staff and the risk of accidental punctures during handling, but also effectively prevents the confusion and disposal of surgical instruments and disposable instruments, thereby greatly reducing unnecessary losses caused by accidental loss of surgical instruments.
