[0028] Furthermore, specific details are provided in the following description to facilitate a thorough understanding of the examples. However, those skilled in the art will understand that the described aspects can be practiced without these specific details.

[0029] This application provides a glass ampoule cutting pliers.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a glass ampoule cutting pliers includes jaws 2 and handles 1. The handles 1 consist of two handles. The jaws 2 include two opposing semi-circular rings 3. Each handle 1 is connected to each semi-circular ring 3. The two handles 1 and jaws 2 are hinged at the connection point. The handles 1 are controlled to drive the jaws 2 to open and close. When the jaws 2 are closed, the two semi-circular rings 3 are joined together to form a continuous ring.

[0031] The semi-annular ring 3 has an arc-shaped groove 31 inside, and an arc-shaped slider 4 is placed in the arc-shaped groove 31. The inner sidewall of the semi-annular ring 3 has a through groove 32 that connects to the groove. The inner ring of the arc-shaped slider 4 has an arc-shaped mounting plate 5 that passes through the through groove 32 and slides along the through groove 32. A cutting blade 6 is mounted on the inner ring of the arc-shaped mounting plate 5. The cutting blade 6 protrudes from the inner ring of the arc-shaped mounting plate 5 in the radial direction. The width of the through groove 32 is less than the maximum width of the arc-shaped groove 31. The angle between the two lines connecting the center positions of the two cutting blades 6 on the same arc-shaped mounting plate 5 and the axis of the semi-annular ring 3 is 90°.

[0032] In this application, the jaws 2 are opened, and the neck of the ampoule 8 to be cut is positioned between two arc-shaped mounting plates 5. The jaws 2 are closed by controlling the handle 1. The four cutting blades 6 on the two arc-shaped mounting plates 5 gradually approach the ampoule 8 until the cutting blades 6 contact the position to be cut on the ampoule 8. The ampoule 8 is kept still, and the handle 1 is rotated 90 to 100 degrees, or the handle 1 is kept still, and the ampoule 8 is rotated 90 to 100 degrees, thus completing the cutting of the ampoule 8 around its entire circumference by the cutting blades 6, improving cutting efficiency and the integrity of the cutting marks.

[0033] In this application, the arc-shaped mounting plate 5 is mounted on the semi-annular ring 3 via the arc-shaped groove 31 and the arc-shaped slider 4, so that the arc-shaped mounting plate 5 can be removed from the semi-annular ring 3. By replacing the arc-shaped mounting plate 5 with different inner diameters and arc-shaped sliders 4, ampoules 8 of different sizes can be cut.

[0034] When cutting the ampoule 8, the medical staff squeezes the handle 1, and the cutting blade 6 presses against the ampoule 8. At the same time, the arc-shaped slider 4 presses against the arc-shaped groove 31. Relying on the friction between the arc-shaped slider 4 and the arc-shaped groove 31, the arc-shaped mounting plate 5 can generally remain stationary relative to the semi-circular ring 3, ensuring the relative displacement between the cutting blade 6 and the ampoule 8, so as to achieve the cutting of the ampoule 8.

[0035] It should be noted that during the closing of the jaws 2, when the cutting blade 6 initially contacts the ampoule 8, there is a gap between the end faces of the two semi-annular rings 3. As the cutting blade 6 rotates to cut the ampoule 8, the gap between the end faces of the two semi-annular rings 3 gradually decreases. In one embodiment, it can also be designed so that the end faces of the two annular rings abut each other at the end of the cutting to limit the cutting depth.

[0036] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in the embodiment of this application, considering the maximum opening and closing angle of the jaws 2, the arc-shaped slider 4 is located in the half area of ​​the semi-circular ring 3 away from the hinge point of the cutting pliers. With this design, it is not necessary to rotate the arc-shaped mounting plate 5 about half a circle 180° to remove the arc-shaped mounting plate 5 and the arc-shaped sliding groove 31. It is only necessary to rotate the shorter arc-shaped slider 4 out of the arc-shaped sliding groove 31, and then it is not necessary to slide the arc-shaped mounting plate 5 along the circumference to remove the arc-shaped mounting plate 5 and the arc-shaped sliding groove 31. This reduces the requirement for the opening and closing angle of the jaws 2, reduces design limitations, and also improves the efficiency of replacing the arc-shaped mounting plate 5.

[0037] The arc-shaped slide 31 and the arc-shaped mounting plate 5 are arc-shaped, and the arc-shaped slide 31, the arc-shaped mounting plate 5 and the semi-annular ring 3 are coaxially arranged.

[0038] The arc-shaped sliding groove 31 penetrates the mating end face of the two semi-annular rings 3. The two arc-shaped sliding blocks 4 are provided with limiting posts 7 extending along the axial direction of the semi-annular rings 3. The two semi-annular rings 3 are provided with arc-shaped limiting grooves 33 on their sides perpendicular to the axial direction of the semi-annular rings 3. The arc-shaped limiting grooves 33 and the arc-shaped sliding groove 31 are connected. The arc-shaped limiting grooves 33 are located in half of the arc-shaped sliding groove 31 on the side away from the cutting pliers hinge point. When the limiting post 7 abuts against the end of the arc-shaped limiting groove 33 near the cutting pliers hinge point, the arc-shaped mounting plate 5 is located within the arc length range of the semi-annular rings 3.

[0039] In this embodiment, limiting posts 7 are provided on both sides of the arc-shaped slider 4, and arc-shaped limiting grooves 33 are provided on both sides of the semi-annular ring 3. The design of the arc-shaped limiting grooves 33 and the limiting posts 7 positions the arc-shaped mounting plate 5 for installation and limits the displacement of the arc-shaped mounting plate 5 relative to the semi-annular ring 3 during the cutting process, thereby improving the stability of the cutting blade 6 in cutting the ampoule 8.

[0040] One end of the arc-shaped slider 4 is aligned with the end of the arc-shaped mounting plate 5 away from the cutting pliers hinge point. The central angle of the arc-shaped slider 4 is one-quarter to one-half of the central angle of the arc-shaped mounting plate 5. The central angle of the arc-shaped mounting plate 5 is 160 to 180°. When the ends of the limiting post 7 and the arc-shaped limiting groove 33 near the cutting pliers hinge point abut, the circumferential centers of the arc-shaped mounting plate 5 and the semi-annular ring 3 are aligned in the radial direction.

[0041] The semi-annular ring 3 has an arc-shaped groove 34 on its side perpendicular to the axial direction of the semi-annular ring 3, located on the inner and outer sides of the arc-shaped limiting groove 33. The side of the arc-shaped groove 34 that is away from the limiting groove 31 is connected to the limiting groove. The end of the limiting post 7 is located in the arc-shaped groove 34. When disassembling the arc-shaped mounting plate 5, the operator can place their finger in the arc-shaped groove 34 and press the end of the limiting post 7 in the arc-shaped groove 34. By applying force to the limiting post 7, the arc-shaped slider 4 and the arc-shaped mounting plate 5 can be easily moved along the arc-shaped sliding groove 31, improving the efficiency of disassembling the arc-shaped mounting plate 5.

[0042] The arc-shaped mounting plate 5 is provided with an arc-shaped extension edge 52. The thickness of the arc-shaped extension edge 52 is less than the width of the through groove 32. The arc-shaped extension edge 52 and the outer circle of the arc-shaped slider 4 are concentric. In this embodiment, the thickness of the arc-shaped extension edge 52 and the arc-shaped mounting plate 5 are the same. Since the arc-shaped slider 4 does not cover the entire arc-shaped groove 31, the arc-shaped extension edge 52 compensates for the part where the arc-shaped slider 4 is not provided, ensuring that the circumferential force of the arc-shaped mounting plate 5 is uniform.

[0043] The semi-annular ring 3 includes an arc-shaped rigid structure and a flexible buffer pad located at the end of the arc-shaped rigid structure away from the hinge point of the cutting pliers. The arc length of the combined structure of the arc-shaped rigid structure and the flexible buffer pad in its natural state is slightly greater than that of a semicircle. The design of the flexible buffer pad can avoid the risk of excessive impact force on the ampoule 8 caused by the rapid contact of the two semi-annular rings 3 when the jaws 2 are closed, thus preventing the ampoule 8 from breaking. It should be noted that the thickness design of the flexible buffer pad must take into account that when the flexible buffer pad on the two semi-annular rings 3 is compressed to its limit, it can ensure that the cutting blade can form a sufficiently deep scratch on the ampoule 8.

[0044] The inner sidewall of the arc-shaped mounting plate 5 is provided with a slot 51 extending outward in the radial direction. The cutting disc 6 is partially located in the slot 51 and is mounted on the arc-shaped mounting plate 5 by screws.

[0045] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
