AI Technical Summary
During the disposal of radioactive waste, the existing collection bins have a rotating partition and a second flap that move simultaneously, resulting in incomplete sealing of the radioactive waste and posing a safety hazard, as chemotherapy drugs may release radiation.
A chemotherapy drug infusion bag collection container is designed. The inner cavity is divided into a first chamber and a second chamber by a rotating partition. The lid and the rotating partition are opened selectively by a pushing component and a delay component, ensuring that the second chamber is opened only after the first chamber is closed, thus preventing the chemotherapy drugs from spreading outward.
It enables safe switching between the first and second chambers during chemotherapy drug delivery, reducing the risk of chemotherapy drugs radiating outwards and improving the safety of the process.

Abstract
Description
A collection bucket for chemotherapy drug infusion bags Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of medical waste disposal, and more particularly to a collection container for chemotherapy drug infusion bags. Background Technology
[0002] Chemotherapy drug infusion bags, chemotherapy injection equipment, and medicine bottles and packaging bags used by cancer patients are classified as radioactive waste due to the presence of chemotherapy drug residues. The indiscriminate disposal of radioactive waste can pollute the environment in the ward area, so it is necessary to centrally process radioactive waste.
[0003] Traditional collection bins typically open with a foot pedal, and close again after disposal to achieve sealed storage of radioactive waste. A utility model patent with authorization number CN212607256U discloses a radioactive waste bin for hospitals. When disposing of radioactive waste, the foot is placed on a second pedal. Stepping on the pedal causes a third linkage to overcome the spring's push, rotating around a second bottom bearing and compressing the spring. The second pedal then moves a fourth linkage downwards, simultaneously opening a second flip-top and closing a previously open rotating partition via a fifth linkage. After disposal, the waste falls onto the rotating partition, contacting the second pedal. The second flip-top closes onto the inner bin, and the rotating partition returns to its open position, allowing the waste to fall into the cavity below it.
[0004] In the above scheme, the rotating partition and the second flip cover operate simultaneously. Before the rotating partition is fully closed, the second flip cover has already opened the second inner bucket. At this time, the radioactive waste in the second inner bucket will emit radiation outward, which may easily irradiate the people who discard the waste, posing a certain safety hazard.
[0005] Therefore, how to design a collection bin that reduces the safety hazards of radioactive waste to the human body has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention
[0006] This application provides a chemotherapy drug infusion bag collection container to at least solve the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the prior art.
[0007] A chemotherapy drug infusion bag collection container is provided, comprising an opening-facing container body, a lid rotatably mounted on the side wall of the container body, and a rotatable partition that is rotatably mounted in the inner cavity of the container body and divides the inner cavity into a first chamber and a second chamber.
[0008] The limiting stop is fixedly installed on the side wall of the inner cavity of the barrel. When the rotating partition abuts against the limiting stop, the second chamber is closed.
[0009] The pusher component connects to the bucket lid and the rotating partition, controlling the bucket lid and the rotating partition to open either one.
[0010] A delay component is installed between the push component and the lid so that after the second chamber is closed, the lid is pushed to open the first chamber.
[0011] In one embodiment, the pushing component includes a vertically arranged first push rod located on the outside of the barrel body, and the delay component includes a waist-shaped hole and a push rod. The waist-shaped hole is vertically arranged and installed on one of the barrel lid or the first push rod, and the push rod is fixedly installed on the other of the first push rod or the barrel lid, and the push rod is inserted into the waist-shaped hole.
[0012] In one embodiment, the bucket lid is provided with an outwardly extending support portion, and the end of the support portion away from the bucket lid is rotatably connected to the bucket body via a first pivot.
[0013] In one embodiment, the push rod is fixedly installed on the support part between the bucket lid and the first rotating shaft, and the waist-shaped hole is set on the first push rod. When the first chamber is closed, the push rod abuts against the top wall of the waist-shaped hole; when the second chamber is closed, the push rod does not abut against the bottom wall of the waist-shaped hole.
[0014] In one embodiment, the pushing assembly includes a horizontally arranged second push rod, a longitudinally arranged clearance groove on the side wall of the barrel, the second push rod being fixedly mounted on the first push rod, the second push rod extending through the clearance groove into the inner cavity of the barrel and located below the rotating partition, and also includes a push spring, one end of which is fixedly connected to the second push rod, and the other end of which abuts against the top wall of the rotating partition.
[0015] In one embodiment, the bottom wall of the barrel is provided with a support base extending vertically downward.
[0016] In one embodiment, a support shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support base, and a foot pedal extending out of the support base is rotatably connected to the support shaft. One end of the foot pedal is rotatably connected to the first push rod via a second rotating shaft.
[0017] In one embodiment, the side wall of the support base is provided with a clearance opening for the foot pedal to extend.
[0018] Compared with existing technologies, the chemotherapy drug infusion bag collection container of this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] This application utilizes a rotating partition within the inner cavity of the container to divide the inner cavity into a first chamber and a second chamber. When the infusion bag is to be discarded, the lid opens the first chamber, and the rotating partition closes the second chamber. The infusion bag can then be dropped into the first chamber. The rotating partition prevents the chemotherapy drugs inside the infusion bag from diffusing and radiating outward from the second chamber. After the bag is discarded, the lid closes the first chamber, and the rotating partition opens the second chamber, allowing the infusion bag to slide into the second chamber, thus completing the storage of the infusion bag.
[0020] During the process of opening the lid, the push component first moves the rotating partition, thereby closing the second chamber. The delay component delays the opening of the first chamber. Compared with the prior art, the closing of the second chamber and the opening of the first chamber in this application have a sequential order. This can avoid the second chamber not being completely closed during the opening of the first chamber, which would cause the chemotherapy drugs in the second chamber to emit radiation outward, thus improving the safety of the collection bucket during use.

[0037] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0038] As shown in Figure 1, the device includes a barrel body 1 with its opening facing upwards. A lid 2 is rotatably connected to the top of the barrel body 1 to close the opening at the top of the barrel body 1. The device also includes a pushing component 5, which is mounted on the barrel body 1 and has its output end connected to the lid 2 to push the lid 2 to switch between an open and closed state. The inner cavity of the barrel body 1 is used to store an infusion bag. When the infusion bag is placed into the inner cavity of the barrel body 1, the lid 2 closes the opening at the top of the barrel body 1 to prevent the chemotherapy drugs in the infusion bag from emitting radiation.
[0039] In order to install the lid 2 and the body 1, as shown in Figure 2, the lid 2 is fixedly provided with an outwardly extending support part 21. The end of the support part 21 away from the lid 2 is provided with a first rotating shaft 22. The support part 21 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the body 1 by the first rotating shaft 22, thereby realizing the installation of the lid 2.
[0040] When the infusion bag is placed into the inner cavity of the barrel 1 again, the barrel lid 2 needs to be opened. During the process of opening the barrel lid 2, the chemotherapy drugs will still emit radiation, which will harm the physical and mental health of the person administering the drug.
[0041] Therefore, it is necessary to design a collection container that can reduce the radiation impact of chemotherapy drugs on the human body.
[0042] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2, it also includes a rotating partition 3, which is installed in the inner cavity of the barrel body 1 via a third rotating shaft 31. The axis of the third rotating shaft 31 is parallel to the axis of the first rotating shaft 22, and the third rotating shaft 31 is located on the side closer to the first rotating shaft 22. The rotating partition 3 is installed in the inner cavity of the barrel body 1, thereby dividing the inner cavity of the barrel body 1 into a first chamber 101 and a second chamber 102. When the barrel lid 2 is opened, the rotating partition 3 seals the second chamber 102. At this time, the rotating partition 3 serves as the bottom wall of the first chamber 101, and the infusion bag is temporarily stored in the first chamber 101. When the barrel lid 2 is completely closed, the rotating partition 3 opens the second chamber 102. The rotating partition 3 is tilted, so that the infusion bag in the first chamber 101 slides down the rotating partition 3 into the second chamber 102 for storage, reducing the radiation emitted by the chemotherapy drugs in the infusion bag in the barrel body 1 during the infusion bag delivery process.
[0043] To open the lid 2, the pushing assembly 5 includes a first push rod 51, which is vertically arranged. Normally, the top of the first push rod 51 is hinged to the support part 21. When the first push rod 51 moves upward, it pushes the support part 21 to rotate around the first pivot 22, thereby opening the lid 2. When the first push rod 51 moves downward, it releases the supporting force on the support part 21. At this time, the support part 21 rotates around the first pivot 22, causing the lid 2 to cover the opening of the bucket body 1, thereby closing the opening of the bucket body 1.
[0044] To quickly open the lid 2, a support shaft 8 is also provided on the bottom wall of the barrel body 1. The axis of the support shaft 8 is parallel to the axis of the first rotating shaft 22. The support shaft 8 is provided with a foot pedal 91 that rotates around the axis of the support shaft 8. One end of the foot pedal 91 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the first push rod 51 through a second rotating shaft 92.
[0045] Specifically, when the lid 2 is on the port of the barrel body 1, the end of the pedal 91 closest to the first push rod 51 is lower than the end of the pedal 91 furthest from the first push rod 51.
[0046] With the above setup, by pressing down the foot pedal 91 at the end away from the first push rod 51, the foot pedal 91 rotates around the support shaft 8, thereby pushing the first push rod 51 upward. The first push rod 51 is used to lift the support part 21 upward, thus opening the bucket lid 2 and facilitating the placement of the infusion bag.
[0047] Since the support shaft 8 is installed on the bottom wall of the barrel body 1, the foot pedal 91 needs to rotate around the support shaft 8. If the bottom wall of the barrel body 1 is in direct contact with the ground, the foot pedal 91 will not be able to move, affecting the opening of the barrel lid 2. Therefore, in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 4, the bottom wall of the barrel body 1 is fixedly provided with a vertically downward extending support seat 12, wherein the support shaft 8 is rotatably installed on the side wall of the support seat 12, and the side wall of the support seat 12 is also provided with an avoidance opening 121 for the foot pedal 91 to pass through, so as to realize the rotation of the foot pedal 91 around the support shaft 8.
[0048] To improve the safety of the collection bucket, one of the bucket lid 2 and the rotating partition 3 can be opened while the other is closed. The opening and closing of the bucket lid 2 and the rotating partition 3 must follow a certain sequence. That is, after the rotating partition 3 closes the second chamber 102, the bucket lid 2 opens the first chamber 101. After the first chamber 101 is closed, the rotating partition 3 opens the second chamber 102, realizing the connection between the first chamber 101 and the second chamber 102, so that the infusion bag in the first chamber 101 falls into the second chamber 102.
[0049] To address the aforementioned issues, in this embodiment, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, the pushing assembly 5 further includes a second push rod 52. The side wall of the barrel body 1 is provided with a longitudinally arranged clearance groove 11. The second push rod 52 is horizontally arranged and fixedly installed on the first push rod 51. The second push rod 52 extends through the clearance groove 11 into the inner cavity of the barrel body 1. The second push rod 52 is located below the rotating partition 3. It also includes a push spring 7, wherein the bottom of the push spring 7 is fixedly connected to the second push rod 52, and the top of the push spring 7 abuts against the bottom wall of the rotating partition 3.
[0050] When the first push rod 51 drives the second push rod 52 to move upward, the push spring 7 moves upward, thereby pushing the rotating partition 3 to rotate upward around the third rotating shaft 31, thus closing the second chamber 102. Under normal circumstances, the top of the first push rod 51 is hinged to the support part 21. During the upward pushing of the first push rod 51, the barrel lid 2 will also open. Therefore, during the closing of the second chamber 102, the first chamber 101 gradually opens. When the two overlap, the second chamber 102 will be connected to the outside, which does not solve the problem of chemotherapy drugs in the inner cavity of the barrel 1 radiating outward.
[0051] Therefore, a delay component 6 is also included. As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the delay component 6 is disposed between the support 21 and the first push rod 51. When the rotating partition 3 completely closes the second chamber 102, the lid 2 will then be pushed down by the first push rod 51 to open the first chamber 101. There is a delay in the opening of the lid 2. The second chamber 102 can only be opened by rotating the partition 3 after the lid 2 has completely closed the first chamber 101, thus reducing the risk of chemotherapy drug radiation.
[0052] Specifically, the delay component 6 includes a waist-shaped hole 61 and a push rod 62. The waist-shaped hole 61 is vertically arranged and located at the top of the first push rod 51. The push rod 62 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the support part 21 and is inserted into the waist-shaped hole 61.
[0053] It is worth noting that when the lid 2 closes the first chamber 101 and the partition 3 opens the second chamber 102, as shown in Figure 2, the outer wall of the push rod 62 abuts against the top wall of the waist-shaped hole 61; when the partition 3 closes the second chamber 102 but the lid 2 does not open the first chamber 101, as shown in Figure 3, the push rod 62 is located in the middle of the waist-shaped hole 61; when the partition 3 closes the second chamber 102 and the lid 2 opens the first chamber 101, as shown in Figure 4, the push rod 62 abuts against the bottom wall of the waist-shaped hole 61.
[0054] Specifically, the inner wall of the barrel body 1 is also fixedly provided with a limiting stop 4. When the rotating partition 3 rotates around the third rotating shaft 31 to a horizontal state, the top wall of the rotating partition 3 abuts against the bottom wall of the limiting stop 4, thereby restricting the rotating partition 3 from continuing to rotate upward.
[0055] Based on the above settings, the entire usage process of the collection bucket is further analyzed. In the initial state, as shown in Figure 2, the end of the foot pedal 91 away from the first push rod 51 is tilted upwards, the bucket lid 2 closes the first chamber 101, the partition 3 is rotated and tilted downwards, and the second chamber 102 is opened.
[0056] Applying downward pressure to the pedal 91 causes it to rotate around the support shaft 8 to a horizontal position, thus switching from Figure 2 to Figure 3. At this point, the pedal 91 pushes the first push rod 51 to move vertically upward, simultaneously driving the second push rod 52 to move upward. The push spring 7 then pushes the rotating partition 3 to rotate around the third rotating shaft 31, causing the top wall of the rotating partition 3 to abut against the bottom wall of the limiting stop 4, thus closing the second chamber 102. At this time, the push support rod 62 is located in the middle position of the waist-shaped hole 61, and the lid 2 does not close the first chamber. When chamber 101 is opened, the push spring 7 is in the first compression stage. Then, the foot pedal 91 is pressed down, and the foot pedal 91 continues to rotate around the support shaft 8, switching from the state shown in Figure 3 to the state shown in Figure 4. At this time, the foot pedal 91 pushes the first push rod 51 upward. After the push support rod 62 contacts the bottom wall of the oblong hole 61, the first push rod 51 continues to move upward. At this time, the first push rod 51 pushes the support part 21 to rotate clockwise around the first rotating shaft 22, and the bucket lid 2 opens the first chamber 101. During the upward movement of the first push rod 51... The second push rod 52 continues to move upward, at which point the push spring 7 is compressed a second time, strengthening the sealing effect of the second chamber 102. The chemotherapy drug infusion bag can then be placed into the first chamber 101. After placement, the foot pedal 91 is slowly released, switching from the state shown in Figure 4 to the state shown in Figure 3. The first push rod 51 moves downward, the support part 21 releases its push, and the lid 2 closes the first chamber 101. During this process, although the second push rod 52 moves downward to appropriately restore the length of the push spring 7, the push spring 7 still exerts pressure on the first chamber 101. The rotating partition 3 is pushed to close the second chamber 102. When the foot pedal 91 continues to rotate around the support shaft 8, it transitions from the state shown in Figure 3 to the state shown in Figure 2. The pushing spring 7 releases the pushing force on the rotating partition 3, and the rotating partition 3 rotates counterclockwise around the third rotating shaft 31. The rotating partition 3 tilts to open the second chamber 102, and the infusion bag in the first chamber 101 slides down the rotating partition 3 into the second chamber 102, completing the storage of the infusion bag and reducing the harm to the human body caused by the radiation emitted by chemotherapy drugs during the collection of the infusion bag.
