Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of medical waste collection technology, and more specifically, to a portable and efficient medical waste collection box. Background Technology
[0002] Medical waste such as needles and blades is frequently generated during medical procedures. The conventional method is to use sharps containers to collect and dispose of them. However, in some large-scale group medical procedures, the capacity of sharps containers is limited. Therefore, it is necessary to use larger-capacity medical waste collection boxes, such as the medical waste collection box with Chinese patent application number CN202420338980.5. The box includes a base and a body. The base is equipped with wheels and handles. The base includes a bottom plate and three side panels that are vertically mounted on the bottom plate. The body can be locked between the side panels. The top of the body is movably connected to a lid. The lid has a waste hole and a sealing cap that can close the waste hole. This application features a base and a box, with casters and handles on the base for easy movement and use. A side panel on the base secures the box and provides protection, preventing damage during transport due to movement or collisions, and ensuring safe use by preventing leakage of contents.
[0003] However, the above solution still has certain drawbacks: First, it collects medical waste in a single container without physically isolating it for different categories such as infectious, harmful, and pharmaceutical waste, which can easily lead to cross-contamination risks. Second, it requires manual opening and closing of the lid, which requires frequent human contact with the container, increasing the risk of infection exposure and thus reducing its practicality. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this application provides a portable and efficient medical waste collection box, which aims to improve the related technologies that collect medical waste through a single box without physical isolation for different categories such as infectious, traumatic, and pharmaceutical waste, which easily leads to the risk of cross-contamination. In addition, the lid needs to be opened and closed manually, requiring frequent human contact with the box, which increases the risk of infection exposure and reduces its practicality.
[0005] This application provides a portable and efficient medical waste collection box, including a sorting component and an adjustment component.
[0006] The sorting component includes a trolley, a box, and a collection box. The box is fixedly connected to the trolley.

All four casters are fixedly connected to the base plate, the storage box is fixedly connected to the base plate, the first handle is fixedly connected to the storage box, and the sorting boxes are fixedly connected to the first handle and the box body.
[0008] In the above process, casters facilitate movement and transfer to different work areas, while sorting boxes can be used to store medical supplies.
[0009] In one specific implementation, the sorting box has several sorting slots on one side.
[0010] In the above implementation process, several sorting slots are provided on one side of the sorting box, and the sorting slots are used to place different medical items.
[0011] In one specific implementation, a sealing plate is fixedly connected to one side of the collection box, the sealing plate is slidably connected to the box body, and a second handle is fixedly installed on one side of the sealing plate.
[0012] In the above implementation process, a sealing plate is fixedly connected to one side of the collection box. The sealing plate can improve the sealing performance.
[0013] In one specific implementation, the lifting frame includes a support, a motor, and a screw. The support is fixedly connected to the housing, the motor is fixedly connected to the support, the screw is rotatably connected to the support, and the screw is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor.
[0014] In the above process, the motor can drive the screw to rotate, and the rotation of the screw can drive the fixed frame to move.
[0015] In one specific implementation, the fixing frame includes a movable plate and an L-shaped plate. The movable plate is threadedly connected to the screw and slidably connected to the bracket. Both L-shaped plates are fixedly connected to the movable plate, and the covers are fixedly connected to both L-shaped plates.
[0016] In the above implementation process, the movable plate and the L-shaped plate can serve as a connection.
[0017] In one specific implementation, sliders are fixedly connected to both ends of the movable plate, and the sliders are slidably connected to the bracket.
[0018] In the above implementation process, sliders are fixedly connected to both ends of the moving plate. The sliders can serve as limit connections.
[0019] In one specific implementation, a plurality of sealing gaskets corresponding to the cavity are fixedly connected to one side of the cap, and the sealing gaskets are slidably connected to the cavity.
[0020] In the above implementation process, a plurality of sealing gaskets corresponding to the cavity are fixedly connected to one side of the cap. Setting the sealing gaskets can improve the sealing effect.
[0021] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows: Firstly, the trolley facilitates easy transfer to different areas, improving portability. Multiple collection boxes inside the cavity allow for the separate placement of different categories of medical waste, such as infectious, traumatic, and pharmaceutical waste, preventing cross-contamination risks. The compartmentalized design reduces the risk of secondary contamination caused by mixing different types of waste. Furthermore, the lifting frame allows the fixed frame to move; the upward movement of the fixed frame moves the cap, separating it from the container. The cap automatically opens during delivery, reducing hand contact. After delivery, the lifting frame moves the fixed frame and cap downward until they contact the container. This contactless operation reduces the risk of exposure for medical personnel, facilitating the separate placement of medical waste, preventing cross-contamination risks, and lowering the risk of infection exposure, thus improving practicality.
