[0019] 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.

[0020] Please refer to Figures 1-5. An infusion bag opener includes a housing 1. The housing 1 serves as the main structure of the infusion bag opener, supporting and protecting the internal components while providing a convenient overall frame for the user to hold and operate. It organically combines the vertical opening device 2 and the horizontal opening device 3, making the entire bag opener a complete tool.

[0021] The vertical opening device 2 is located on one side of the housing 1, and its function is specifically for opening the vertical infusion bag 5. By cooperating with the corresponding structure on the vertical infusion bag 5 - the vertical flap 51 - the vertical infusion bag 5 can be opened, providing medical staff with a convenient way to open the vertical infusion bag 5.

[0022] The horizontal opening device 3 is located on the other side of the housing 1 and is used to open the horizontal infusion bag 4. It interacts with the related structures of the horizontal infusion bag 4—the horizontal flap 41 and the tubing 42—to achieve the opening of the horizontal infusion bag 4.

[0023] The horizontal infusion bag 4 and the vertical infusion bag 5 are used to store and deliver medications, providing patients with the liquids such as drugs required for treatment.

[0024] The horizontal infusion bag 4 is equipped with a pipe 42, and the pipe 42 is equipped with a horizontal flap 41. Its horizontal opening design works in conjunction with the opening device to achieve a safe and convenient opening operation, so as to connect the infusion pipe 42 and other devices for infusion.

[0025] The vertical infusion bag 5 is provided with a vertical flap 51, which serves as the medium for opening the vertical infusion bag 5. The vertical infusion bag 5 is opened by prying open the vertical flap 51.

[0026] The vertical opening device 2 includes a chuck 21, which is fitted onto the housing 1 and also serves as a fulcrum for prying open the vertical flap 51, ensuring that the entire device will not shake or shift during use, thus guaranteeing the stability and reliability of the opening operation. A flat-mouthed first slot 22 is provided in the center of the chuck 21, which is used to insert into the vertical flap 51 of the vertical infusion bag 5. The first slot 22 is flat-mouthed, and its shape and size are designed according to the vertical flap 51 of the vertical infusion bag 5, enabling accurate insertion of the vertical flap 51 for precise positioning and a tight fit between the vertical flap 51 and the opening device. Once the vertical petal 51 is inserted into the first bayonet 22, it can be firmly fixed in place, providing a stable foundation for subsequent operations such as flipping to pry off the vertical petal 51. This ensures that the vertical petal 51 will not come out of the bayonet during the prying off process, thus ensuring the smooth completion of the opening operation.

[0027] The horizontal opening device 3 is located below the vertical opening device 2, and has at least two layers. Positioning the horizontal opening device 3 below the vertical opening device 2 helps to make efficient use of the bag opener's space, resulting in a more compact and rational structure. This facilitates user operation and grip, preventing inconvenience or excessive space occupation due to an unreasonable layout. The presence of at least two layers of the horizontal opening device 3 is primarily to accommodate horizontally sized infusion bags 4. Horizontally sized infusion bags 4 from different manufacturers or of different specifications may vary in size; the multi-layer design allows the bag opener to fit various sizes of infusion bags, improving its versatility and applicability.

[0028] Each layer of the horizontal opening device 3 includes a second chuck 31, which is circular and has vertically intersecting clearance grooves 32 and insertion grooves 33. The second chuck 31 serves as the main structure of each layer of the horizontal opening device 3, providing support and positioning, and acting as a fulcrum during the flipping and opening process. The clearance grooves 32 provide a guiding path for the horizontal flap 41, allowing it to move smoothly from the infusion bag body to its position engaging with the bag opener. When the horizontal flap 41 of the horizontal infusion bag 4 is inserted into the clearance groove 32, it pushes the entire housing 1, causing the pipe 42 to be inserted into the insertion groove 33 and secured. At this point, the horizontal flap 41 is locked onto the second chuck 31, and by flipping the housing 1 to one side, the horizontal flap 41 is broken off.

[0029] Working principle: To open the vertical infusion bag 5, insert the vertical flap 51 of the vertical infusion bag 5 into the first slot 22 of the vertical opening device 2 on one side of the housing 1. At this time, the vertical flap 51 is fixed. Then, by flipping the housing 1, the vertical flap 51 is pried off. To open the horizontal infusion bag 4, first align the two horizontal flaps 41 on the top of the horizontal infusion bag 4 with the relief groove 32 of the horizontal opening device 3 on one side of the housing 1, insert the horizontal flaps 41 into the relief groove 32, then align the locking groove 33 with the tube 42 of the horizontal infusion bag 4, push the housing 1 to lock the tube 42 into the locking groove 33. At this time, the horizontal flaps 41 will be locked on the second chuck 31. Similarly, flip the housing 1 to one side, and the horizontal flaps 41 will be pried off. If the size of the horizontal opening infusion bag 4 to be opened is small, it can be clipped onto the second-layer horizontal opening device 3. The multi-layered horizontal opening device 3 can accommodate various sizes of horizontal opening infusion bags 4. This achieves the effect of convenient and quick alignment, stable tilting, and rapid opening.
