[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of storage racks, and in particular to an adjustable sharps box storage rack. Background Technology

[0002] A sharps container is a container specifically designed for the safe collection and disposal of medical sharps. These sharps include syringes, blades, suture needles, etc., and are commonly used in medical settings. The use of sharps containers aims to prevent accidental injuries and the risk of infection caused by sharps.

[0003] In the prior art, sharps container racks are devices used to fix and support sharps containers, aiming to improve the safety and convenience of sharps in medical environments. Typically, the tray size of a sharps container rack is fixed, making it easy to place the sharps containers. However, sharps containers usually come in different types, such as small, medium, and large. This universal design can lead to instability when placing small or medium-sized sharps containers, affecting their usability. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an adjustable sharps box holder to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] An adjustable sharps box holder includes:

[0007] The base has a support column fixedly connected to the center of its top.

[0008] The tray is set above the base, and the bottom of the tray is connected to an extension rod. The bottom end of the extension rod is inserted into the support column, and multiple grooves are spaced apart along the circumference of the tray.

[0009] The clamping mechanism is located at the bottom of the tray. The clamping mechanism includes a slide, a slider, and a clamping rod. The slide is slidably mounted on the extension rod. The outer edge of the slide has a circular array of grooves equal in number to the number of recesses. The slider is slidably connected in the grooves. The clamping rod is rotatably mounted in the grooves. The bottom end of the clamping rod is rotatably connected to the top of the side of the slider that extends out of the groove.

[0010] Furthermore, a circular groove is provided on the top of the slide table, and a compression spring is placed in the groove.

[0011] Furthermore, a track groove is provided at the bottom of the slider, and a limit block is slidably connected in the track groove. The bottom of the limit block is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the track groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the outer wall of the clamping rod located above the tray is connected with multiple clamps at intervals along the length of the clamping rod, and the outer wall of the clamps is covered with rubber sleeves.

[0013] Furthermore, a rubber pad is fixedly connected to the top of the tray, and the surface of the rubber pad is provided with an anti-slip texture.

[0014] Furthermore, a threaded sleeve is rotatably connected to the top of the support column, and an external thread is machined at the bottom of the extension rod to connect with the threaded sleeve.

[0015] In summary, this utility model has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0016] 1. This adjustable sharps container rack, through a clamping mechanism, allows the slide to slide down under gravity, causing the slider to move downwards. Since the slider is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the clamping rod, when the slider moves downwards, it applies a pulling force to the clamping rod, causing the clamping rod to rotate around the rotating connecting shaft in the groove. This reduces the opening angle of the clamping rod, bringing it closer to the sharps container, and thus the clamping rod re-engages with the sharps container, securing the container. This effectively improves the applicability and practicality of the sharps container rack.

[0017] 2. This adjustable sharps container holder, through the use of a compression spring, can apply additional pressure to the slide table using the elastic force of the compression spring, thereby allowing the clamping rod to apply stable pressure to the sharps container, further improving the clamping stability of the sharps container. At the same time, the clamping rod is equipped with a clamping hoop, the outer side of which is covered with a rubber sleeve, which can increase the contact point between the clamping rod and the sharps container, thereby further improving the fixed stability of the sharps container.

[0025] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Example:

[0027] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 5 The present invention discloses an adjustable sharps box holder, comprising:

[0028] Base 1, with a support column 4 fixedly connected to the center of the top of base 1;

[0029] The tray 2 is positioned above the base 1. An extension rod 5 is connected to the bottom of the tray 2. The bottom end of the extension rod 5 is inserted into the support column 4. Multiple grooves 6 are spaced apart along the circumference of the tray 2.

[0030] The clamping mechanism 3 is located at the bottom of the tray 2. The clamping mechanism 3 includes a slide 31, a slider 32, and a clamping rod 33. The slide 31 is slidably mounted on the extension rod 5. The outer edge of the slide 31 is provided with an annular array of grooves 7, the same number as the grooves 6. The slider 32 is slidably connected in the grooves 7. The clamping rod 33 is rotatably mounted in the grooves 6. The bottom end of the clamping rod 33 is rotatably connected to the top of the side of the slider 32 that extends out of the groove 7.

[0031] In this embodiment, observation Figure 1 It can be seen that a tray 2 is provided above the base 1, which can be used to place a sharps box.

[0032] Research in my country shows that, in order to ensure that sharps are put away in a timely and safe manner after use, the most suitable placement height for the sharps box when standing (i.e., from the ground to the opening of the sharps box) is (91.52±7.51) cm. This height is below the user's eye level, which allows the user to clearly see the entrance of the sharps box and meets the user's need to reach it with their arm.

[0033] Therefore, further observation is needed. Figure 1 It can be observed that a support column 4 is fixedly connected to the top center of the base 1. An extension rod 5 is inserted into the top of the support column 4, and a tray 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the extension rod 5. The height of the tray 2 can be adjusted by adjusting the length of the extension rod 5 extending beyond the support column 4, making it easier to place the sharps container at the correct height. (Then, in conjunction with...) Figure 2 It can be seen that the top of the support column 4 is rotatably connected with a threaded sleeve 15, and the bottom end of the extension rod 5 is machined with an external thread that connects to the threaded sleeve 15. This makes the adjustment of the extension rod 5 simpler and more convenient, and can effectively reduce the difficulty of using the sharps box rack.

[0034] Finally, since sharps containers usually come in different types such as small, medium and large, this universal design can lead to instability when small or medium-sized sharps containers are placed, affecting their usability.

[0035] Therefore, further observation is needed. Figure 2 It can be seen that a clamping mechanism 3 is provided at the bottom of the tray 2. The clamping mechanism 3 includes a slide 31, a slider 32 and a clamping rod 33. The slide 31 is slidably mounted on the extension rod 5. The outer edge of the slide 31 is provided with a ring array of grooves 7, the same number as the grooves 6. The slider 32 is slidably connected in the grooves 7. The clamping rod 33 is rotatably mounted in the grooves 6. The bottom end of the clamping rod 33 is rotatably connected to the top of the side of the slider 32 that extends out of the groove 7.

[0036] At this point, when the sharps container is placed on tray 2, the clamping rod 33 provides support for the container, making it more stable. However, when the size of the sharps container decreases, its diameter reduces, preventing the clamping rod 33 from directly contacting the outer wall of the container. Looking at the container at this time... Figure 4 It can be observed that when the clamping rod 33 cannot contact the outer wall of the sharps container, the clamping rod 33 loses its supporting force. At this time, under the action of gravity, the sliding platform 31 will slide down, causing the slider 32 to move down. Since the slider 32 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the clamping rod 33, when the slider 32 moves down, it will apply a pulling force to the clamping rod 33, causing the clamping rod 33 to rotate around the rotating connecting shaft in the groove 6. This reduces the opening angle of the clamping rod 33, bringing the clamping rod 33 closer to the sharps container, so that the clamping rod 33 contacts the sharps container again, thus fixing the sharps container. This can effectively improve the applicability of the sharps container rack, thereby improving its practicality.

[0037] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, a circular groove 8 is provided on the top of the slide table 31, and a compression spring 9 is placed in the circular groove 8.

[0038] In this embodiment, by providing a circular groove 8 on the top of the slide table 31 and placing a compression spring 9 inside the circular groove 8, the elastic force of the compression spring 9 can apply additional pressure to the slide table 31, thereby allowing the clamping rod 33 to apply stable pressure to the sharps box, further improving the clamping stability of the sharps box.

[0039] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, a track groove 10 is provided at the bottom of the slider 32, and a limit block 11 is slidably connected in the track groove 10. The bottom of the limit block 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the slide groove 7.

[0040] In this embodiment, by providing a track groove 10 at the bottom of the slider 32, and a limiting block 11 slidably connected in the track groove 10, with the bottom of the limiting block 11 fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the slide groove 7, the movement of the slider 32 can be assisted, and the slider 32 can be prevented from falling out of the slide groove 7.

[0041] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, the outer wall of the clamping rod 33 located above the tray 2 is connected with multiple clamps 12 at intervals along the length of the clamping rod 33, and the outer wall of the clamps 12 is covered with rubber sleeves 13.

[0042] In this embodiment, by having multiple clamps 12 spaced apart along the length of the clamping rod 33 on the outer wall above the tray 2, and the outer wall of the clamps 12 covered with rubber sleeves 13, the contact points between the clamping rod 33 and the sharps box can be increased, thereby further improving the fixing stability of the sharps box.

[0043] The rubber sleeve 13 not only enhances friction and increases the clamping strength of the sharps box, but also prevents the sharps box from being pinched and damaged through the flexible deformation of the rubber sleeve 13.

[0044] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, a rubber pad 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the tray 2, and the surface of the rubber pad 14 is provided with an anti-slip texture.

[0045] In this embodiment, by attaching a rubber pad 14 to the top of the tray 2, and the surface of the rubber pad 14 being provided with an anti-slip texture, the placement of the sharps box can be made more stable, further improving the practicality of the sharps box rack.

[0046] The embodiments described herein are preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
