[0023] Example
[0024] As shown in Figures 1-5, a glass ampoule cutting pliers includes a first plier handle 1 and a second plier handle 2. A connecting mechanism 3 is provided in the middle of the outer surface of the first plier handle 1 and the second plier handle 2. A jaw 4 is fixedly connected to one end of the first plier handle 1 and the second plier handle 2. A slot 401 is opened on the inner side of the jaw 4. A slitting blade 402 is fixedly connected in the middle of the inner side of the slot 401. A reset mechanism 5 is provided on one side of the inner side of the first plier handle 1 and the second plier handle 2. A locking mechanism 6 is provided at the tail of the first plier handle 1 and the second plier handle 2.
[0025] In practical use, the connecting mechanism 3 is used to connect and fix the first clamp handle 1 and the second clamp handle 2. One end of both the first clamp handle 1 and the second clamp handle 2 is fixedly connected to a jaw 4. The design of the slot 401 ensures that the glass ampoule neck is firmly fixed within the jaw 4 during cutting, preventing the neck from sliding or shifting during the cutting process, ensuring the accuracy of the cutting position, and avoiding cutting failure or incomplete neck breakage due to inaccurate positioning. The scriber 402 is located in the middle of the slot 401, precisely corresponding to the cutting point of the glass ampoule neck, ensuring that the contact point between the scriber 402 and the neck is consistent. The design ensures consistent cutting, avoiding uneven cutting marks caused by inconsistent 402 dicing position. This results in a smoother cutting process, reducing the generation and splashing of glass shards, lowering the risk of injury to medical staff from glass fragments, and preventing the possibility of medication leakage or contamination due to improper cutting. The product's shape resembles pliers, conforming to ergonomics, making it quick and easy to break ampoules, improving the efficiency of nursing staff and the safety of patient medication use. The reset mechanism 5 facilitates the automatic reset of the cutting pliers, and the locking mechanism 6 locks the cutting pliers when not in use to prevent misoperation and enhance safety.
[0026] In this embodiment, four sets of card slots 401 are provided, and the inner diameter of the four sets of card slots 401 gradually increases from left to right.
[0027] In practical use, the slot 401 has four sets to accommodate glass ampoules of different sizes, improving the versatility of the cutting pliers.
[0028] In this embodiment, the dicing blade 402 is made of a frosted material, such as diamond, tungsten carbide or silicon carbide, and the first jaw 1, the second jaw 2 and the jaw 4 are made of stainless steel or aluminum alloy.
[0029] In practical use, the 402 cleaver is made of frosted material, which is hard and wear-resistant. It can quickly make clear marks on the glass neck, which can complete the cutting task more efficiently and reduce the cutting time. The first cleaver 1, the second cleaver 2 and the jaw 4 are made of stainless steel or aluminum alloy, which have a long service life and are not easy to wear.
[0030] In this embodiment, the connecting mechanism 3 includes a connecting hole 301 opened in the middle of the upper surface of the first clamp handle 1 and the second clamp handle 2. A connecting post 302 is movably connected inside the connecting hole 301, and an internal hexagonal screw sleeve 303 is threadedly connected to the top of the outer surface of the connecting post 302.
[0031] In practical use, the connecting holes 301 on the surfaces of the first clamp handle 1 and the second clamp handle 2 correspond to each other. The connecting post 302 is inserted into the interior of the connecting hole 301 and fixed by the internal hexagonal screw sleeve 303. This makes it easy to replace the first clamp handle 1 and the second clamp handle 2 when they are damaged, avoiding the need to replace the whole unit and saving costs.
[0032] In this embodiment, the reset mechanism 5 includes a fixing post 501 fixed to the inner side of the first clamp 1 and the second clamp 2, and a spring 502 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the fixing post 501.
[0033] In practical use, the two ends of the spring 502 are fixed to the inner sides of the first clamp handle 1 and the second clamp handle 2 by the fixing post 501, so that the cutting forceps automatically returns to the initial state after each use. After completing a cutting operation, medical staff do not need to manually adjust or reset the position of the first clamp handle 1 and the second clamp handle 2, and can directly carry out the next operation, which simplifies the operation process, reduces the operation steps, and improves work efficiency.
[0034] In this embodiment, an anti-slip sleeve 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of the first clamp handle 1 and the second clamp handle 2. The anti-slip sleeve 7 is made of high-temperature resistant silicone material.
[0035] In practical use, the anti-slip sleeve 7 made of high-temperature resistant silicone material has excellent anti-slip performance, which can significantly increase the friction between the hand and the pliers handle, reduce the risk of slipping, and thus improve the safety of operation. At the same time, the high-temperature resistant silicone material has good softness and elasticity, which can conform to the shape of the hand and provide a comfortable grip.
[0036] In this embodiment, the locking mechanism 6 includes a fixing block 601 fixed to the outer surface of the first clamp handle 1, a retaining ring 602 rotatably connected to the inner side of the fixing block 601, and a retaining plate 603 fixedly connected to the inner side of the second clamp handle 2 near the retaining ring 602.
[0037] In practical use, the retaining ring 602 is engaged with the outer surface of the retaining plate 603, which can ensure that the first clamp handle 1 and the second clamp handle 2 remain locked when not in use. This can effectively prevent the tool from being accidentally opened during storage or transportation, avoid accidental injury or tool damage caused by misoperation, and provide additional safety protection for medical staff.
[0038] Working principle: During use, the neck of the glass ampoule is placed into the slot 401 of the jaw 4, ensuring close contact between the neck and the dicing blade 402 to guarantee the accuracy of the cutting position. The first jaw handle 1 and the second jaw handle 2 are gently squeezed to maintain the squeezed state. The jaw handles are then gently twisted to make the dicing blade 402 make a circular mark on the neck, making the cutting process smoother and reducing the generation and splashing of glass fragments, thus reducing the risk of medical staff being cut by glass fragments. The spring 502 makes the cutting forceps automatically return to the initial state after each use, eliminating the need for manual adjustment or reset of the positions of the first jaw handle 1 and the second jaw handle 2, reducing operation steps and improving work efficiency. When not in use, the retaining ring 602 is engaged with the outer surface of the retaining plate 603 to ensure that the first jaw handle 1 and the second jaw handle 2 remain locked in the non-use state, providing additional safety for medical staff.
