[0029] A convenient sharps container includes a container body 10, which has a cavity 11 for storing sharps. The top of the cavity 11 is fully open, forming an opening. The cavity 11 is provided with two inclined plates 20 arranged at opposite angles. The outer ends of the inclined plates 20 are attached to the inner sidewall of the cavity 11, and the inner ends of the inclined plates 20 are arranged towards the center of the cavity 11. Along the direction from the outside to the inside of the inclined plates 20, the inclined plates 20 are arranged at an angle downwards. A material drop interval 14 is formed between the inner ends of the two inclined plates 20.

[0030] The box cavity 11 has a feeding cavity located below the two inclined plates 20, and a dropping cavity located above the two inclined plates 20. The dropping cavity is connected to the feeding cavity through the dropping interval 14.

[0031] The top of the box body 10 has a swing-arranged top cover 30. When the top cover 30 is deviated from the opening arrangement, the opening is open, so that sharp objects can be discarded into the discharge chamber through the opening and slide along the inclined plate 20 and enter the discharge chamber through the discharge interval 14. When the top cover 30 covers the opening, the opening is closed.

[0032] The aforementioned easy-to-use sharps container features a fully open design on the container body 10, facilitating the user's disposal of sharps into the discharge chamber. Sharps move along the inclined plate 20 and enter the discharge chamber through the discharge interval 14. It is convenient to use. The design of the inclined plate 20 increases the surface area for sharps disposal, and if the container body 10 is tilted, it can prevent sharps from spilling out. Compared to the flat opening design, it can effectively reduce occupational exposure. It solves the problem that sharps containers with small discharge openings are prone to being dropped outside the container.

[0033] In this embodiment, the outer end of the inclined plate 20 is aligned with 2 / 3 of the height of the box cavity 11. Thus, the height of the feeding cavity is 2 / 3 of the height of the box cavity 11. When the feeding cavity is full, it will be visible through the feeding interval 14, allowing for a direct visual assessment of whether the cavity is full.

[0034] In this embodiment, hinge shafts 21, which are hinged to the box body 10, are respectively provided on both sides of the outer end of the inclined plate 20. Torsion springs 22, which drive the inclined plate 20 to swing back to its original position, are installed on the hinge shafts 21. In this way, the inclined plate 20 can rotate with the box body 10 through the hinge shafts 21, and the inclined plate 20 can be driven to swing back to its original position by the torsion springs 22.

[0035] In this embodiment, a buffer edge 23 is provided on the inner end of the inclined plate 20, and the buffer edge 23 is located on one side of the material drop interval 14.

[0036] Buffer edge 23: Soft buffer material (such as rubber or silicone) is added to the inner end of the inclined plate 20 (i.e., at the material drop interval 14) to reduce the impact force when sharp objects slip and protect the structure of the box cavity 11.

[0037] In this embodiment, the surface of the inclined plate 20 is coated with a slip-aiding coating.

[0038] The slip-aid coating can be a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coating or a lubricating coating, which can reduce the coefficient of friction of the inclined plate 20, thereby allowing the sharp object to slide into the sharp object better.

[0039] In this embodiment, the top cover 30 includes two side covers 31, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the box body 10.

[0040] Split design: The top cover 30 consists of two independent side covers 31, each of which can swing independently; this design allows users to open it from one or both sides as needed, reducing unnecessary space exposure; and the side covers 31 can be flipped onto the side wall of the box 10, reducing space occupancy.

[0041] In this embodiment, an elastically deformable sealing ring 32 is provided on the outer periphery of the side cover 31, and the sealing ring 32 is arranged circumferentially around the outer periphery of the side cover 31. In this way, the side cover 31 can increase the sealing performance with the housing 10 through the sealing ring 32, thereby reducing occupational exposure.

[0042] In this embodiment, a closing ring edge 12 is protruding on the inner sidewall of the open opening. The closing ring edge 12 is arranged around the circumference of the open opening, and the side cover 31 is detachably connected to the closing ring edge 12. In this way, the box body 10 can be connected to or closed and supported by the closing ring edge 12 and the side cover 31, thereby increasing the connection between the side cover 31 and the box body 10.

[0043] In this embodiment, a plurality of through-holes 13 are provided on the closed ring edge 12. The plurality of through-holes 13 are arranged sequentially at intervals along the length direction of the through-holes 13. A plurality of locking pins 33 are protruding on the side cover 31 for engaging with the through-holes 13. The side cover 31 and the closed ring edge 12 are inserted into the through-holes 13 through the locking pins 33.

[0044] The closed ring edge 12 is provided with multiple through-holes 13 for the insertion and positioning of multiple locking pins 33 of the side cover 31, thereby increasing the connection between the side cover 31 and the box body 10.

[0045] In this embodiment, the top of the locking post 33 is fixed to the side cover 31, and the bottom of the locking post 33 has two elastic heads 331 arranged at relative intervals. The outer side of the elastic head 331 protrudes outward to form a limiting part 332. The upper and lower ends of the limiting part 332 are formed with an inclined upper guide end face 333 and a lower guide end face 334. The upper guide end face 333 is inclined outward from top to bottom away from the locking post 33, and the lower guide end face 334 is inclined outward from bottom to top away from the locking post 33.

[0046] During the process of inserting the locking pin 33 into the through lock hole 13 through two relatively spaced elastic heads 331, when the two elastic heads 331 are squeezed, they move towards each other and compress until they penetrate the through lock hole 13, and the two elastic heads 331 return to their original shape and lock in the through lock hole 13.

[0047] The elastic head 331 is secured to the bottom of the through lock hole 13 by the limiting part 332 to prevent the elastic head 331 from detaching from the through lock hole 13 at will; the limiting part 332 can play an auxiliary smoothing role in the process of the elastic head 331 being inserted into the through lock hole 13 by the lower guide end face 334.

[0048] When it is necessary to pull the elastic head 331 away from the through lock hole 13, forcefully pull the side cover 31 away from the through lock hole 13. The locking post 33 drives the limiting part 332 to move upward. The limiting part 332 can better squeeze the elastic head 331 through the upper guide end face 333, so that the two elastic heads 331 move towards each other and compress, so that the elastic head 331 can better disengage from the through lock hole 13.

[0049] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
