[0004] This medical box uses a first compartment for insulin injection solution, a second compartment for disinfectant solution, and a third compartment for disinfectant swabs. However, in existing technologies, disinfectant swabs are usually taken directly by hand, which can easily contaminate other disinfectant swabs during the process, thus compromising the safety and hygiene of the disinfectant swabs. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an alcohol disinfectant swab box that facilitates aseptic use and allows for safer use of alcohol disinfectant swabs.
[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: an alcohol disinfectant swab box for easy aseptic use, comprising a box body and a box lid located at the upper end of the box body. The box body contains a rectangular storage sleeve for holding multiple alcohol disinfectant swabs. The swabs are stored upside down in the storage sleeve, with the cotton head at the bottom and the hollow swab shaft at the top. One end of the storage sleeve has a V-shaped constriction. At the end of the storage sleeve away from the constriction, a clamping plate is provided for pressing the multiple alcohol disinfectant swabs towards the constriction. Connecting rods are provided at both the upper and lower ends of the clamping plate. The outer wall of the box body has a section for the connecting rods to pass through. The connecting sleeve has a compression spring fitted on the connecting rod, one end of which is connected to the pressure plate and the other end of which is connected to the inner wall of the box. A fixing plate is provided at the upper end of the box and above the constricted part. The fixing plate has a swab outlet hole corresponding to the tip of the constricted part for a single alcohol disinfection swab to pass through. A connecting plate is slidably connected to the fixing plate in the vertical direction. A guide sleeve is provided in the middle of the connecting plate and at the position corresponding to the swab outlet hole. An insert rod is provided in the guide sleeve, the lower end of which is used to pass through the swab outlet hole and embed into the swab rod of the alcohol disinfection swab, and is interference-fitted with the swab rod. The lower end of the insert rod has a tip for embedding into the swab rod of the alcohol disinfection swab. A push plate is also provided at the upper end of the insert rod.
[0007] A further feature of this invention is that the side of the storage sleeve is provided with reinforcing ribs that connect to the inner wall of the box.
[0008] A further feature of this invention is that a handle is provided between the ends of the upper and lower connecting rods.
[0009] A further feature of this invention is that: both ends of the connecting plate are provided with columns extending vertically downwards; the fixing plate has through holes for the columns to pass through; the bottom wall of the box is provided with a vertical sleeve for the lower end of the column to be embedded in; a limiting ring is provided on the upper periphery of the vertical sleeve; and a limiting block is provided at the lower end of the column for abutting against the limiting ring.
[0010] A further feature of this invention is that a connecting spring is fitted onto the upper end of the insertion rod, with one end connected to the push plate and the other end connected to the guide sleeve.
[0011] A further feature of this invention is that the push plate has anti-slip stripes on its periphery.
[0012] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. When you need to add alcohol disinfectant swabs, open the lid and move the clamping plate away from the closure. You can then put the alcohol disinfectant swabs into the storage sleeve, where they are stored upside down. After releasing the clamping plate, the clamping plate will press the alcohol disinfectant swabs towards the closure under the elastic restoring force of the clamping spring. Then you can close the lid again.
[0014] When it is necessary to use an alcohol disinfectant swab, press down the push plate to move the insert and connecting plate downwards. The insert will then pass through the dispensing hole and embed itself into the swab. Then lift the connecting plate until the swab protrudes from the dispensing hole. Then lift the insert by pushing the plate until the swab protrudes against the lower end face of the guide sleeve. The swab protrudes from the insert, and medical staff can then pull out the alcohol disinfectant swab from the dispensing hole. This makes it easier and safer to use the alcohol disinfectant swab.
[0015] If the insertion rod cannot be inserted into the swab stick after it is lowered, the connecting rod on the outside of the box is pulled back and forth, which causes the pressing plate to move back and forth, thereby vibrating multiple alcohol disinfection swabs and changing the arrangement of the swab sticks at the swab dispensing hole until the insertion rod can be stably inserted into the swab stick after it is lowered.
[0016] 2. The reinforcing ribs on the side of the storage sleeve help ensure a stable connection between the storage sleeve and the box.
[0017] 3. The handle between the ends of the two connecting rods allows medical staff to easily pull the connecting rods. When the handle sticks to the outer wall of the box after a period of use, it indicates that the alcohol disinfectant swabs in the storage sleeve are about to be used up and need to be replenished.
[0018] 4. The connecting plate is embedded in the vertical sleeve after the column passes through the through hole, and after the column moves up, it is abutted against the limiting ring by the limiting block. At this time, the extreme position of the connecting plate after moving up can be positioned to prevent the column from detaching from the vertical sleeve.
[0019] 5. By using a connecting spring that is fitted on the upper end of the insertion rod, with one end connected to the push plate and the other end connected to the guide sleeve, the insertion rod can be prevented from coming out of the guide sleeve;
[0020] 6. The anti-slip stripes on the periphery of the push plate help medical staff to steadily lift the insertion rod through the push plate. Attached Figure Description
