[0027] Example: Please refer to Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a safe opening device for an ampoule that prevents glass splashing, including a non-slip handle 1, a debris collection bin 4 fixedly installed on the top of the non-slip handle 1, a box 5 fixedly installed on the outside of the debris collection bin 4, a cutting execution mechanism 2 provided on the inside of the box 5, an adsorption mechanism 3 provided on the inside of the box 5, and a spring pre-tightening clamp 6 provided at the bottom of the box 5.

[0028] The cutting actuator 2 includes an electric push rod 21, a motor housing 22, a cutting cover 23, a micro motor 24, and a cutting wheel 25. The micro motor 24 drives the cutting wheel 25, and the electric push rod 21 controls the feed movement of the cutting wheel 25. A fixed rod 26 is fixedly installed in the feed direction of the motor housing 22. Pulleys 27 are rotatably installed on both sides of the fixed rod 26. A connecting rod 28 is rotatably installed on the top of the cutting cover 23.

[0029] The adsorption mechanism 3 includes a spring 32, a semi-circular block 33, a suction pipe 35, a suction nozzle 36, and a negative pressure fan 37. The suction nozzle 36 is linked to the cutting wheel 25 through a connecting rod 28 to achieve dynamic contact between the adsorption port and the cutting point.

[0030] Through the cooperation of pulley 27, semi-circular block 33 and spring 32, the movement trajectory of suction nozzle 36 and cutting wheel 25 are synchronized, ensuring that suction nozzle 36 fits against the cut and forms a negative pressure adsorption field synchronously during the cutting process. When glass fragments are generated, they can be sucked into the closed flow channel, avoiding the problem of fragments splashing from the cut to the worktable or air in the traditional method. It can capture the splashed glass fragments and prevent glass particles from spreading and contaminating the worktable and air, thus solving the problem of sharp glass fragments splashing during the current process of breaking ampoules.

[0031] It should be noted that the outer shell of the box 5 is covered with a transparent protective cover, and the bottom of the anti-slip handle 1 is integrated with a magnetic fixing base.

[0032] Furthermore, the electric push rod 21 is fixedly installed inside the housing 5, the motor housing 22 is fixedly installed at the output end of the electric push rod 21 and slidably installed on the inner top wall of the housing 5, the micro motor 24 is fixedly installed inside the motor housing 22, the cutting cover 23 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the motor housing 22, and the cutting wheel 25 is rotatably installed inside the cutting cover 23. The motor housing 22 is fixedly installed with a rubber push block 29 in the feed direction. The mechanical automated cutting replaces the traditional manual cutting with a grinding wheel, avoiding direct contact between the operator and the sharp glass edge, thus protecting the operator.

[0033] Furthermore, spring 32 is fixedly installed inside the housing 5, and a fixing frame 31 is fixedly installed at the end of spring 32 away from the housing 5. The fixing frame 31 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the top of the housing 5. A semi-circular block 33 is fixedly installed inside the fixing frame 31. A fixing plate 34 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixing frame 31. A suction pipe 35 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixing plate 34. A suction nozzle 36 is fixedly installed at the end of the suction pipe 35 near the cutting wheel 25. A negative pressure fan 37 is fixedly installed outside the housing 5. A fan protective cover 39 is fixedly installed on the outside of the housing 5. The negative pressure fan 37 is located inside the fan protective cover 39. The negative pressure fan 37 is fixedly installed to the debris collection chamber 4 through a connecting pipe 38. The fixing plate 34 is slidably installed at the bottom of the fixing frame 31, so that the movement trajectory of the suction nozzle 36 and the cutting wheel 25 is synchronized, reducing the suction blind zone caused by the position deviation of the traditional fixed suction nozzle, and further solving the problem of sharp glass debris splashing.

[0034] Furthermore, the spring preload clamp 6 includes a second spring 61 and a rubber clamp 62. The bottom of the housing 5 is provided with a clamping groove, and the second spring 61 is fixedly installed inside the clamping groove. The rubber clamp 62 is fixedly installed at the end of the second spring 61 away from the clamping groove. The radial clamping force is formed by the elastic reaction force to ensure that the bottle is vertically fixed and adapts to the bottle necks of ampoules of different diameters.

[0035] Furthermore, the debris collection chamber 4 includes two guide plates 41, which are positioned at the inlet of the debris collection chamber 4. An inclined block 42 is fixedly installed at the inlet of the debris collection chamber 4, and the inclined block 42 is slidably installed inside the debris collection chamber 4. Debris collection boxes 44 are slidably installed on both sides of the debris collection chamber 4. Inside the debris collection box 44, a coarse filter screen 45 and a fine filter screen 46 are fixedly installed sequentially from the direction of debris falling. The debris is graded and intercepted through a graded filtration system. An independent nipple collection box 43 is also provided to achieve classified management of medical waste and prevent cross-contamination between glass fragments and medicines / nipples in traditional operations.

[0036] It should be noted that the nipple collection box 43 and the debris collection box 44 adopt a drawer-type design, which can be pulled out and replaced with one hand. The drawer edge is equipped with a silicone sealing strip to prevent the leakage of microparticles.

[0037] Furthermore, the connecting rod 28 is hinged to the fixed plate 34, converting the rotational motion into the linear following displacement of the suction nozzle 36.

[0038] Furthermore, the end of the suction pipe 35 furthest from the nozzle 36 is fixedly installed with the debris collection chamber 4.

[0039] Furthermore, the inlet of the debris collection chamber 4 is coaxial with the center of the clamping groove, thus achieving physical isolation between the ampoule tip and the glass debris.

[0040] In actual operation, when this device is used, the ampoule to be opened is vertically inserted into the bottom of the box 5, the ampoule tip contacts the rubber clamp 62, the rubber clamp 62 compresses the second spring 61, thereby clamping the ampoule. The micro motor 24 is started, and at the same time the micro motor 24 is started, the negative pressure fan 37 performs a desiccant operation. The electric push rod 21 is started, and the electric push rod 21 pushes the motor box 22 to move, thereby causing the cutting wheel 25 to cut towards the ampoule position. When the motor box 22 moves, the pulley 27 rolls outside the fixed frame 31 and the semi-circular block 33, thereby compressing the first spring 32, changing the position of the semi-circular block 33. The pulley 27 rolls outside the semi-circular block 33, thereby causing the suction nozzle 36 on the top of the fixed plate 34 to move outward with the cutting wheel 25, and the cutting cover 2... 3. During the movement, the connecting rod 28 pushes the fixed plate 34 to slide at the bottom of the fixed frame 31, thereby causing the suction nozzle 36 to move along with the cutting wheel 25. This ensures that the suction nozzle 36 continuously adheres to the cut position, simultaneously forming a negative pressure adsorption field. The negative pressure fan 37 adsorbs glass particles into the debris collection box 44 through the suction pipe 35. After passing through the coarse filter 45 and the fine filter 46, a multi-stage filtration operation is formed. While the cutting wheel 25 moves, the rubber pusher 29 contacts the ampoule nipple. When the cutting wheel 25 cuts the ampoule nipple to halfway, the rubber pusher 29 pushes the ampoule nipple, allowing it to enter the nipple collection box 43 after being guided by the guide plate 41 and the inclined block 42. After opening the ampoule, the nipple collection box 43 and the debris collection box 44 can be removed for cleaning.
