[0036] Example 1, combined with Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment provides a medical sharps container, including a container body 1 with a receiving cavity, a rotary cutting assembly 5 movably disposed on the container body 1, and a driving assembly for driving the rotary cutting assembly 5 to rotate. The rotary cutting assembly 5 includes a cutting port 51 with a blade 52, which communicates with the receiving cavity. After the sharps penetrate the cutting port, the flexible tube corresponds to the position of the blade 52. Under the action of the driving assembly, the blade 52 is rotated, causing the connection between the flexible tube and the sharps to be cut by the blade 52. The connection between the sharps and the flexible tube is cut by the rotary cutting assembly 5, and the cut sharps can fall directly into the sharps container 1 for collection, improving the convenience of sharps collection for medical personnel and reducing the risk of contact for medical personnel.
[0037] Specifically, the box body 1 includes a flange 11, which is an annular structure and is axially disposed at the top of the box body 1. The drive component is mounted on the flange 11. The top of the box body 1 is also provided with a protrusion 18, which is axially disposed at the top of the box body 1. A limiting groove is axially formed on the protrusion 18. The rotary cutting component 5 is provided with a limiting protrusion corresponding to the limiting groove. The limiting protrusion is disposed in the limiting groove, so that the rotary cutting component 5 can rotate along the circumferential direction of the protrusion 18, thereby realizing the rotary connection between the rotary cutting component 5 and the box body 1.
[0038] Specifically, the rotary cutting assembly 5 also includes a screw-on cover, on which the cutting opening 51 is formed, and the screw-on cover is rotatably connected to the box body 1. The bottom end of the screw-on cover is fitted onto the protrusion 18, and a limiting protrusion is axially disposed on the inner wall of the screw-on cover, so that the screw-on cover can rotate along the circumferential direction of the protrusion 18.
[0039] In this embodiment, the shearing opening 51 is configured as a fan-shaped structure, and the blade 52 is positioned relative to the rotation direction of the fan-shaped structure. The box body 1 has a discharge port connected to the receiving cavity. After the screw cap is rotated, the shearing opening 51 is aligned with the discharge port, allowing the receiving cavity to connect with the outside. At this time, the sharp object can enter the receiving cavity through the shearing opening 51 and the discharge port, with the blade 52 aligned with the hose. Rotating the screw cap again causes the blade 52 to cut the connection between the sharp object and the hose, thus separating the sharp object from the hose and allowing it to enter the receiving cavity for collection.
[0040] Specifically, the drive assembly includes a drive gear 6 and a motor 3 for driving the drive gear 6 to rotate. The rotary cutting assembly 5 is provided with a driven tooth 53 that meshes with the drive gear 6. Under the action of the motor 3, the drive gear 6 drives the meshing driven tooth 53 to rotate, thereby driving the rotary cutting assembly 5 to rotate. The drive gear 6 and the motor 3 are disposed on the flange 11, and the driven tooth 53 is disposed on the outer wall of the screw-on cover. After the motor 3 is started, it drives the drive gear 6 to rotate, and the drive gear 6 drives the meshing driven tooth 53 to rotate, thereby driving the screw-on cover to rotate, thus realizing the rotary cutting operation of the blade 52.
[0041] Specifically, in combination Figure 6 As shown, the box body 1 has a discharge slot 19, and a locking component 17 is provided on the discharge slot 19. The locking component 17 is used to lock the flexible tube that passes through the discharge slot 19. The discharge port is set as the discharge slot 19 to provide tension between the sharp object and the flexible tube. The locking component 17 is located at the position of the discharge slot 19. By tightening one end of the flexible tube with the locking component 17, and the medical staff tightening the other end of the flexible tube, after rotating the rotary cutting component 5, the sharp object is separated from the flexible tube, and the sharp object falls from the discharge slot 19 into the receiving cavity, thereby realizing the collection of the sharp object.
[0042] Specifically, in combination Figure 7 As shown, the locking assembly 17 includes a connecting rod 172 movably mounted on the housing 1 and a positioning sleeve 174 mounted on the connecting rod 172. The positioning sleeve 174 is positioned corresponding to the material discharge groove 19 of the connecting rod 172. The connecting rod 172 is used to support the positioning sleeve 174 to lock the hose. Two sets of locking assemblies 17 are arranged opposite each other. The two sets of locking assemblies 17 are used to lock the hose. The inner wall of the positioning sleeve 174 is arc-shaped. When locking the hose, it can fit against the outer wall of the hose. In use, a sharp object passes through the middle position of the two opposing positioning sleeves 174, so that the hose is located between the two positioning sleeves 174, and the two positioning sleeves 174 lock the hose.
[0043] Specifically, an elastic element is provided on the connecting rod 172, with its two ends abutting against the material discharge chute 19 and the positioning sleeve 174, respectively. Preferably, the elastic element is a spring 171, which drives the positioning sleeve 174 to reset when the external force on the positioning sleeve 174 is removed. The two ends of the spring 171 are connected to the material discharge chute 19 and the positioning sleeve 174, respectively. In use, the spring 171 uses its own elasticity to press the positioning sleeve 174 against the hose, thereby locking the hose.
[0044] To facilitate medical staff in pulling the positioning sleeve 174, a handle 173 is provided on the positioning sleeve 174, and the handle 173 is located at the top of the positioning sleeve 174.
[0045] In this embodiment, a movable groove is provided on the box body 1 corresponding to the material discharge groove 19. The connecting rod 172 passes through the shaft hole of the box body 1 and is slidably connected in the movable groove. A rotating wheel is axially provided at the end of the connecting rod 172. The diameter of the rotating wheel is larger than the diameter of the shaft hole. The connecting rod 172 restricts its movement position through the cooperation of the rotating wheel and the movable groove. When the positioning sleeve 174 moves to a certain distance, the rotating wheel abuts against the movable groove to prevent the connecting rod 172 from falling out of the movable groove, thereby limiting the positioning sleeve 174.
[0046] Specifically, such as Figures 2-4 As shown, to prevent medical staff from accidentally touching the rotary cutting component 5, a lid 2 is provided on the top of the box body 1. The lid 2 is connected to the box body 1 by a locking device. When not in use, the lid 2 and the box body 1 cooperate to seal the rotary cutting component 5, reducing the risk of contact for medical staff.
[0047] Specifically, the locking mechanism includes a fixed base 13 hinged to the box body 1 and a locking plate 16 movable relative to the fixed base 13. The box cover 2 has a slot corresponding to the locking plate 16, and the box cover 2 and the box body 1 are connected by the locking plate 16 engaging with the slot. A connecting base 12 is provided on the box body 1, and the end of the fixed base 13 is rotatably connected to the connecting base 12. The fixed base 13 has an opening slot 14, and the clamping plate 16 is slidably connected to the opening slot 14. A threaded rod 15 is rotatably connected to the clamping plate 16. The threaded rod 15 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole of the fixed base 13, so that the clamping plate 16 can move vertically along the opening slot 14 by rotating the threaded rod 15. The clamping slot includes a groove 21 and a limiting protrusion 22 set on the groove 21. The clamping plate 16 cooperates with the groove 21 and the limiting protrusion 22 to achieve a locking connection between the lid 2 and the box body 1. In use, the fixed base 13 is rotated so that the end of the clamping plate 16 extends into the groove 21. Then the threaded rod 15 is rotated, and the threaded rod 15 drives the clamping plate 16 to move vertically along the opening slot 14, so that the clamping plate 16 engages with the groove 21 and the limiting protrusion 22, thereby achieving a locking connection between the lid 2 and the box body 1, thus providing a sealing effect for the rotary cutting assembly 5.
[0048] Specifically, in combination Figure 5 As shown, a bottom cover 4 is provided at the bottom of the box body 1. The bottom cover 4 is detachably connected to the box body 1, which facilitates the centralized processing of sharp objects collected in the receiving cavity. The bottom cover 4 includes an inner box 41 with a storage chamber 44 and an outer box 42 fitted on the inner box 41. A connecting groove 43 is formed between the inner box 41 and the outer box 42. The connecting groove 43 is fitted on the bottom of the box body 1 and is threadedly connected to the box body 1.
[0049] In this embodiment, during use, the sharp instrument passes through the middle of the two opposing positioning sleeves 174, so that the tubing is located between the two positioning sleeves 174. The two positioning sleeves 174 lock the tubing. The medical staff pulls the other end of the tubing and turns on the motor 3. The motor 3 drives the drive gear 6 to rotate, and the drive gear 6 drives the driven gear 53 that meshes with it to rotate, thereby driving the screw cap to rotate, thus realizing the rotary cutting operation of the blade 52. The sharp instrument that enters the receiving cavity falls into the storage chamber 44 for collection. When cleaning is required, the box body 1 and the bottom cover 4 are unscrewed, and the sharp instrument located in the storage chamber 44 can be emptied.
[0050] When not in use, close the lid 2, rotate the fixing base 13 so that the end of the clamping plate 16 extends into the groove 21, and then rotate the threaded rod 15. The threaded rod 15 drives the clamping plate 16 to move vertically along the opening groove 14, so that the clamping plate 16 engages with the groove 21 and the limiting protrusion 22, thereby achieving a locking connection between the lid 2 and the box body 1, thus sealing the rotary cutting assembly 5, preventing medical staff from accidentally touching the rotary cutting assembly 5 and reducing the risk of accidental injury.
[0051] Many other changes and modifications can be made without departing from the concept and scope of this utility model. It should be understood that this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments, and the scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims.
