Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of medical waste treatment equipment, specifically a sharps box. Background Technology
[0002] Medical waste refers to contaminated waste produced by hospitals that has come into contact with patients' blood, flesh, etc. Examples include used cotton balls, gauze, adhesive tape, wastewater, disposable medical instruments, post-operative waste, expired medicines, etc. According to medical testing reports from national health departments, due to the spatial pollution, acute infectiousness, and latent contamination characteristics of medical waste, the viruses and bacteria it contains are tens, hundreds, or even thousands of times more harmful than ordinary household waste. Improper handling can cause serious environmental pollution and may even become a source of disease outbreaks. The harmfulness of medical waste has attracted great attention from countries around the world. Regarding the development of relevant laws and regulations, many countries and regions have strict and clear regulations on all aspects and stages of medical waste reduction, classification, collection, storage, transportation, and disposal. In terms of technological research, significant human, material, and financial resources have been invested in in-depth research on the treatment and disposal of medical waste, with main methods including incineration, autoclaving, chemical treatment, microwave radiation, high-temperature decomposition, plasma, and electric arc furnaces. In contrast, China still lags far behind in the formulation of laws and regulations, the improvement of its regulatory system, the enhancement of public awareness, and investment in scientific research.
[0003] Medical syringes are commonly used medical instruments. After use, syringes need to be recycled. If they are thrown directly into the waste bin with the needle, staff can easily be pricked when cleaning the waste. Manually removing the needle for sorting can not only contaminate the hands, but also cause pricks during the removal process. Therefore, we need to propose a sharps container. Utility Model Content

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model 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 utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0028] Please see Figure 1-2 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0029] A sharps box, comprising:
[0030] The main structure; and the gripping structure for gripping sharp objects;
[0031] The main structure includes a box body 1 and a box cover 2. The box cover 2 is installed on the top of the box body 1 by means of hinge. A first notch 3 is provided on one side of the top of the box cover 2 for a sharp object to be inserted into the inner cavity of the box body 1.
[0032] The clamping structure includes an opening 4 on one side of the lid 2 and a cross arm 5. The cross arm 5 is located on one side of the opening 4, and the opening 4 allows the cross arm 5 to move. A handle is provided at the end of the cross arm 5 outside the lid 2, and a clamp 6 is provided at the end of the cross arm 5 inside the box body 1. The clamp 6 is arc-shaped.
[0033] This utility model features a main structure comprising a box body 1 and a box cover 2. The top of the box cover 2 has a first notch 3, and the box cover 2 also has a clamping structure including a movable opening 4 and a cross arm 5. One end of the cross arm 5 has a handle, and the other end has a clamp 6 for clamping needles and other sharp objects. In actual use, the operator uses one hand to insert one end of the used syringe needle into the box body 1 through the first notch 3 at the top of the box cover 2, and the other hand operates the handle of the cross arm 5. The syringe needle is then clamped and removed by the clamp 6 at the end of the cross arm 5. This allows for the separate collection of needles and other sharp objects. The removed needles and other sharp objects fall into the box body 1. Once a certain number are collected, the box cover 2 is opened for unified processing.
[0034] Among them, the end clamp 6 of the cross arm 5 extends into the inside of the box cover 2, and the clamp 6 is located directly below the first notch 3.
[0035] In summary, this device has a simple structure and is easy to use. Through the cooperation of the main structure and the clamping structure, the needle can be pulled out without the operator touching it, which facilitates the separation of the syringe and the needle and avoids needle stick injuries, thus ensuring the safety of the operator.
[0036] For further details, please refer to Figure 2 :
[0037] Both the upper and lower sides of the chuck 6 are provided with arc-shaped blocks 7 that are adapted to the shape of the chuck 6, and anti-slip teeth 8 are distributed on both the arc-shaped blocks 7 and the inner wall of the chuck 6.
[0038] By setting an arc-shaped block 7 on the chuck 6, and distributing anti-slip teeth 8 on the inner walls of both the chuck 6 and the arc-shaped block 7, the gripping portion can be extended, making it easier to remove long and narrow needles, and further improving the ease of use of the equipment.
[0039] In addition, the clamp 6 in this device can be replaced with a sharp scissor head. This design allows for the separation of the syringe and needle or the infusion set and needle by clamping and cutting when removing the needle, which is more time-saving and labor-saving.
[0040] In addition, please see Figure 1-2 :
[0041] The cover 2 has symmetrical protrusions 10 on both sides of the movable opening 4. The cross arm 5 is rotatably positioned between the two sets of protrusions 10 via a pin 11. The cross arm 5 has a shaft hole 9, which corresponds to the through hole, and the pin 11 is inserted into the through hole and the shaft hole 9 in sequence.
[0042] This design serves two purposes: firstly, it allows for the positioning and limiting of the cross arm 5, preventing it from falling off or detaching from the movable opening 4 during use; secondly, it enables the quick disassembly of the cross arm 5 and the cover 2 by removing the pin 11, facilitating the regular disinfection of the two parts separately.
[0043] For further details, please refer to Figure 1-3 :
[0044] The top of the box body 1 is provided with a rim 12, which is circular. A first notch 3 is located inside the rim 12 and is fan-shaped. A rotating plate 13, which is circular, is rotatably mounted on the top of the box lid 2, located inside the rim 12. A second notch 14, also fan-shaped, is provided on the rotating plate 13. The second notch 14 and the first notch 3 are of the same specifications. A lever 15 is provided on the rotating plate 13 for rotating the rotating plate 13.
[0045] With this design, when the device is not in use, the rotating plate 13 can be rotated by the lever 15 to misalign the first notch 3 and the second notch 14, preventing the box 1 from accidentally tipping over and causing sharp objects such as needles to fall out; it also prevents odors from emanating from the box 1 and causing harm to the surrounding environment; when in use, the rotating plate 13 can be rotated by the lever 15 to make the first notch 3 and the second notch 14 overlap, thereby connecting the inner cavity of the box 1 for removing sharp objects such as needles.
[0046] For further details, please refer to Figure 4 :
[0047] A support ring 18 is provided inside the box body 1. A collection pocket 16 is snapped into the support ring 18. Filter holes 17 are distributed at the bottom of the collection pocket 16. A frame 19 is provided at the top opening of the collection pocket 16. The bottom surface of the frame 19 abuts against the top surface of the support ring 18.
[0048] With this design, when collecting needles and other sharps, the sharps fall into the collection pocket 16, and the liquids adhering to the sharps, such as injection fluids and blood, fall into the bottom of the box 1 through the filter holes 17, while the needles and other sharps remain in the collection pocket 16, which can perform preliminary solid-liquid separation and facilitate further processing.
[0049] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
