Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to medical supplies, specifically a clinical waste storage device. Background Technology
[0002] In clinical settings, a large amount of waste is generated daily, encompassing various types including infectious, hazardous, and chemical waste. Improper handling can pose serious threats to the environment and human health. Traditional clinical waste storage methods are rudimentary, often using ordinary trash cans or bags, lacking effective sorting and processing mechanisms. On one hand, mixed waste storage makes efficient subsequent processing difficult, increasing costs and complexity. On the other hand, the lack of effective separation of liquid waste easily leads to leakage and secondary pollution. Furthermore, because bacteria and viruses easily proliferate during storage, conventional storage devices lack corresponding sterilization measures, further increasing the risk of disease transmission. In addition, traditional devices are extremely inconvenient for handling and transferring waste, lacking flexible movement and height adjustment capabilities, causing numerous difficulties for medical staff. Therefore, the development of a fully functional, efficient, and safe clinical waste storage device is urgently needed. Utility Model Content
[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: a clinical waste storage device, including a storage box, a detachable lid on the top of the storage box, and a support plate on the bottom of the storage box. The bottom of the support plate is connected to a base through a lifting mechanism, and the base is provided with wheels at the four corners. A filter separation plate is provided in the lower middle part of the storage box. A squeezing scraper assembly is provided on the upper part of the filter separation plate along the length of the inner wall of the storage box, and a liquid storage box is detachably provided on the lower part. A discharge port corresponding to the squeezing scraper assembly is provided on one side wall of the storage box, and a retrieval port corresponding to the liquid storage box is provided on the other end. A waste inlet is provided on the lid, and an opening and closing door is provided at the waste inlet. Several ultraviolet germicidal lamps are also provided on the bottom surface of the lid.

[0013] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows:
[0014] The filter separation plate installed in the storage box of this utility model can quickly achieve the initial separation of solids and liquids after waste is put in. In conjunction with the extrusion scraper assembly, the solid waste is further extruded to the maximum extent to squeeze out the liquid. This not only facilitates the subsequent compaction and storage of solid waste, but also makes it easier to collect and process liquid waste separately, thereby improving the overall efficiency of waste treatment.
[0015] Solid waste is pushed to the discharge port by a squeezing scraper. The sealing component of the discharge port can be opened as needed, and the waste falls into the pre-fixed waste collection bag through the discharge pipe. The entire discharge process is simple to operate, and the retaining ring and elastic strap ensure that the collection bag is stable and prevents waste leakage, which greatly facilitates the transfer and subsequent disposal of waste.
[0016] Infrared sensors at the door opening and closing mechanism enable automatic opening and closing, avoiding manual contact by medical staff and reducing the risk of cross-infection. Ultraviolet germicidal lamps inside the lid periodically or as needed sterilize and disinfect waste inside the storage box, effectively inhibiting the growth of bacteria and viruses and ensuring a hygienic and safe storage environment.
[0017] The wheels at the bottom of the device facilitate overall movement, allowing it to easily navigate between different departments and areas; the lifting mechanism can adjust the height of the storage box according to the actual usage scenario, adapting to the operating habits and work needs of different medical staff; at the same time, the spring damping buffer between the base and the support plate reduces vibration during movement, protecting the device and waste.

[0027] Example:
[0028] Combined with appendix Figure 1-4 This embodiment discloses a clinical waste storage device, which is mainly composed of a storage box 1, a box cover 2, a support plate 3, a base 4 and other components, and has multiple functions such as storage, separation, discharge and sterilization.
[0029] This device includes a storage box 1, a detachable cover 2 on top of the storage box 1, and a support plate 3 at the bottom of the storage box 1. A base 4 is connected to the bottom of the support plate 3 via a lifting mechanism 5, and wheels 6 are installed at the four corners of the base 4. The device can be easily moved indoors or outdoors using the wheels 6. When the height of the storage box 1 needs to be adjusted, the lifting mechanism 5 (which can be a hydraulic or electric lifting rod) operates under the control of a box controller. The box controller is connected to the box's battery for power and controls the lifting mechanism 5 to raise or lower the storage box 1 to a suitable height for medical personnel to dispose of waste.
[0030] A filter separation plate 7 is installed in the lower part of the storage box 1. A squeeze scraper assembly 8 is installed on the upper part of the filter separation plate 7 along the length of the inner wall of the storage box 1, and a liquid storage box 9 is detachably installed at the lower part. When clinical waste is put into the storage box 1 through the waste inlet 16 on the lid 2, solid waste remains on the upper part of the filter separation plate 7, while liquid waste flows through the filter separation plate 7 into the liquid storage box 9 at the bottom, thus achieving solid-liquid separation. When the solid waste accumulates to a certain amount, the squeeze scraper assembly 8 starts to work. The squeeze scraper assembly 8 includes a moving groove 801 arranged along the length of the inner walls on both sides of the storage box 1. An electric screw 802 is installed in the moving groove 801. Moving blocks 803 are fitted on the electric screw 802. Squeeze scrapers 804 that are in contact with the upper surface of the filter separation plate 7 are connected between the moving blocks 803. The housing controller controls the electric screw 802 to rotate. The rotation of the electric screw 802 drives the moving block 803 to move in the moving groove 801, which in turn causes the extrusion scraper 804 to move on the upper surface of the filter separation plate 7 to extrude the solid waste and further squeeze out the liquid, making the solid waste more compact. At the same time, the solid waste is pushed towards the discharge port 10.
[0031] One end of the storage tank 1 has a discharge port 10 corresponding to the extrusion scraper assembly 8, and the other end has a retrieval port 11 corresponding to the liquid storage box 9. When the extrusion scraper 804 pushes solid waste to the discharge port 10, the sealing assembly 1212 inside the discharge port 10 starts to operate. The storage tank 1 also has a sealing assembly 12 located inside the discharge port. The sealing assembly 12 includes a sealing plate 1201 located inside the discharge port. The top of the sealing plate 1201 is connected to a support bar 1203 located on the top of the storage tank 1 via an electric lifting assembly 1202. The tank controller controls the electric lifting assembly 1202 to operate. The electric lifting assembly 1202 drives the sealing plate 1201 to rise, opening the discharge port 10, allowing solid waste to enter the discharge pipe 13 through the discharge port 10.
[0032] A discharge pipe 13 extends outward from the discharge port, and a retaining ring 14 is provided at the end of the discharge pipe 13. A waste collection bag is detachably fitted onto the discharge pipe 13. An elastic strap 15 for securing the waste collection bag is also detachably fitted onto the discharge pipe 13. After solid waste enters the discharge pipe 13 through the discharge port, it falls into the waste collection bag. The retaining ring 14 acts as a barrier to prevent the waste from slipping off the end of the discharge pipe 13, while the elastic strap 15 securely fixes the waste collection bag to the discharge pipe 13 to prevent it from falling off. When the waste collection bag is full, the elastic strap 15 can be untied, and the waste collection bag can be removed for disposal.
[0033] The container lid 2 is equipped with a waste inlet 16, and an opening / closing door 17 is located at the waste inlet 16. Several ultraviolet sterilization lamps 20 are also installed on the inner bottom surface of the container lid 2. The opening / closing door 17 includes a door body, one end of which is rotatably connected to the end of the waste inlet 16 via a pivot and is also connected to a drive motor 18. The other end is a free end, and an infrared sensor 19 is also installed on the free end of the opening / closing door 17. When medical personnel bring waste close to the waste inlet 16, the infrared sensor 19 senses the human signal and transmits the signal to the container lid controller. The container lid controller is connected to the container lid battery to obtain power and control the drive motor 18 to work. The drive motor 18 drives the door body to rotate around the pivot, opening the opening / closing door 17. After the medical personnel put the waste into the storage container 1, if the infrared sensor 19 does not sense the human signal for a period of time, the container lid controller controls the drive motor 18 to reverse and close the opening / closing door 17. During waste storage, the lid controller controls the operation of the UV sterilization lamps to sterilize and disinfect the waste inside storage box 1, reducing the risk of bacterial growth and spread.
[0034] Spring damping buffers 19 are installed at the four corners of the base 4 and between the base plate 3 and the support plate 3. When the device encounters bumps or vibrations during movement, the spring damping buffers 19 play a role in buffering and shock absorption, reducing the impact of vibration on the waste in the storage box 1, while protecting the various components of the device and extending the service life of the device.
[0035] In addition, the device also includes a box controller, a box battery, a box cover controller, and a box cover battery. The box controller is connected to the box battery and electrically connected to the lifting mechanism 5, the extrusion scraper assembly 8, and the electric lifting assembly 1202, and is responsible for controlling the operation of the relevant components of the storage box 1. The box cover controller is connected to the box cover battery and electrically connected to the infrared sensor 19, the drive motor 18, and the ultraviolet sterilization lamp 20, and is responsible for controlling the operation of the relevant components of the box cover 2. All components work together to achieve safe and efficient storage of clinical waste. The base 1 also has storage slots 21 on both sides for storing items such as waste storage bags.
