Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waste bin technology, specifically a medical waste bin. Background Technology
[0002] Medical waste refers to waste generated by medical institutions during medical treatment, prevention, healthcare, and other related activities that possess direct or indirect infectiousness, toxicity, or other hazards. Specifically, it includes infectious, pathological, damaging, pharmaceutical, and chemical waste. This waste contains large amounts of bacteria and viruses and exhibits characteristics of spatial pollution, acute viral transmission, and latent transmission. If not properly managed and disposed of indiscriminately, allowing it to mix with household waste and spread into people's living environments, it will pollute the atmosphere, water sources, land, and flora and fauna, causing the spread of diseases.
[0003] Current medical waste bins suffer from low space utilization. Lacking compression capabilities, medical waste of varying volumes piles up loosely inside, quickly filling the available storage space. This design flaw not only increases the risk of overflow but also forces staff to empty them frequently, reducing work efficiency and potentially increasing the probability of cross-infection.
[0004] Therefore, a medical waste bin is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a medical waste bin to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. To achieve the above purpose, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A medical waste bin includes a bin body, a bin lid installed on the top of the bin body, a through groove opened inside the bin lid, a connecting block slidably installed inside the through groove, a sleeve installed on the top of the connecting block via a rotating shaft, a pressure plate fixed to the bottom of the connecting block, a telescopic rod slidably installed inside the sleeve, a handle assembly welded to one end of the telescopic rod, an iron plate fixed on each of the two sides of the top of the pressure plate, and a magnetic suction piece fixed on each of the two sides of the bottom of the bin lid.
[0006] Preferably, a spring limit bolt is installed inside the telescopic rod, and multiple limit holes are equally spaced on one side of the sleeve, with the limit holes and the telescopic rod being installed in a limiting manner.
[0007] Preferably, the handle assembly includes a handle body, and the handle body is fixedly connected to one end of the telescopic rod.
[0008] Preferably, a traction rope is slidably installed inside the handle body, and a pull plate is fixed on one side of the traction rope.
[0009] Preferably, one end of the pull plate extends into the interior of the telescopic rod, and the pull plate is fixedly connected to one end of the spring limit bolt.
[0010] Preferably, two anti-tipping side plates are fixed on both sides of the bottom of the trash can body, and the lid is connected to one side of the trash can body via a pivot.
[0011] Preferably, the magnetic sheet and the iron sheet have the same volume, and the magnetic sheet and the iron sheet are connected by magnetic attraction.
[0012] Preferably, the outer wall of the pressure plate is fitted to the inner wall of the trash can body, and the pressure plate is slidably installed inside the trash can body.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a medical waste bin with the following beneficial effects:
[0014] When the trash can contains a large amount of medical waste, the operator can hold the handle and rotate the telescopic rod and sleeve around the top of the connecting block. By pressing down on the handle, the pressure plate can slide downward inside the trash can, compressing the volume of medical waste accumulated inside. This prevents medical waste of different volumes from accumulating loosely inside the can and occupying the effective storage space, slowing down the rate of waste overflow. This eliminates the need for frequent cleaning by the operator and improves work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-5 A medical waste bin includes a bin body 1, a bin lid 3 installed on the top of the bin body 1, a through groove 10 opened inside the bin lid 3, a connecting block 9 slidably installed inside the through groove 10, a sleeve 4 installed on the top of the connecting block 9 via a rotating shaft, a pressure plate 11 fixed to the bottom of the connecting block 9, a telescopic rod 7 slidably installed inside the sleeve 4, a handle assembly 8 welded to one end of the telescopic rod 7, an iron plate 13 fixed on each of the two sides of the top of the pressure plate 11, and a magnetic suction plate 12 fixed on each of the two sides of the bottom of the bin lid 3.
[0023] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, since a lid 3 is installed on the top of the trash can body 1 via a pivot, the lid 3 can cover the top of the trash can body 1, thereby covering the medical waste thrown into the trash can body 1. When there is a lot of medical waste inside the trash can body 1, the operator can hold the handle body 801 to drive the telescopic rod 7 and the sleeve 4 to rotate around the top of the connecting block 9. Since the lid 3 has a through groove 10 inside, and the connecting block 9 is slidably installed inside the through groove 10, rotating the telescopic rod 7 and the sleeve 4 will cause the sleeve 4, the telescopic rod 7 and the sleeve 4 to rotate around the top of the connecting block 9. After the connecting blocks 9 are aligned on a straight line, the operator can press down on the handle body 801. Since the bottom of the connecting block 9 is fixed with a pressure plate 11, pressing down on the handle body 801 can cause the pressure plate 11 to slide downward inside the trash can body 1, thereby compressing the volume of medical waste accumulated inside the trash can body 1. This prevents medical waste of different volumes from accumulating loosely inside the trash can and occupying the effective storage space inside the trash can body 1, slowing down the rate of waste overflow. This eliminates the need for frequent cleaning by the operator and improves work efficiency.
[0024] Example 2: A spring limit bolt 5 is installed inside the telescopic rod 7, and multiple limit holes 6 are equally spaced on one side of the sleeve 4. The limit holes 6 are limited and installed between the telescopic rod 7. The handle assembly 8 includes a handle body 801, and the handle body 801 is fixedly connected to one end of the telescopic rod 7. A traction rope 803 is slidably installed inside the handle body 801, and a pull plate 802 is fixed on one side of the traction rope 803. One end of the pull plate 802 extends into the interior of the telescopic rod 7, and the pull plate 802 is fixedly connected to one end of the spring limit bolt 5. Two anti-tipping side plates 2 are fixed on both sides of the bottom of the garbage can body 1, and the can lid 3 is connected to one side of the garbage can body 1 through a pivot. The magnetic suction piece 12 and the iron piece 13 have the same volume, and the magnetic suction piece 12 and the iron piece 13 are connected by magnetic attraction. The outer wall of the pressure plate 11 is in contact with the inner wall of the garbage can body 1, and the pressure plate 11 is slidably installed inside the garbage can body 1.
[0025] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, since the telescopic rod 7 is slidably installed inside the sleeve 4, and a spring limit bolt 5 is installed inside the telescopic rod 7, and the spring limit bolt 5 is limited by the limit hole 6 opened on one side of the sleeve 4, the total length of the sleeve 4 and the telescopic rod 7 can be changed by controlling the spring limit bolt 5 to be inserted into the limit hole 6 at different positions. During adjustment, the operator can pull the pull plate 802 by pressing the traction rope 803 with their finger, thereby causing the spring limit bolt 5 to be retracted into the telescopic rod 7 and disengaged from one of the limit holes 6. At this time, the telescopic rod 7 can be controlled to slide back and forth inside the sleeve 4, thereby changing the total length of the sleeve 4 and the telescopic rod 7. In actual use, the length can be adjusted according to the amount of garbage loaded inside the garbage can body 1. The amount of garbage is adjusted to compress and press the garbage inside the garbage can body 1, thereby better controlling the compression of the garbage by the pressure plate 11. When not in use, the pressure plate 11 is pulled upward to magnetically connect the iron plates 13 fixed on both sides of the top of the pressure plate 11 with the magnetic plates 12 fixed on both sides of the bottom of the lid 3, thereby fixing the pressure plate 11 to the bottom of the lid 3. This ensures that the position of the pressure plate 11 will not affect the opening and closing of the lid 3. The two anti-tipping side plates 2 fixed on the bottom of both sides of the garbage can body 1 can increase the contact area between the bottom of the garbage can body 1 and the ground, thereby improving the stability of the placement and preventing the garbage can body 1 from tipping over due to collision.
[0026] Working principle: Open the lid 3 installed on the top of the trash can body 1, and then throw the trash into the trash can body 1. The lid 3 can cover the top of the trash can body 1, thus covering the medical waste thrown into the trash can body 1. When there is a lot of medical waste inside the trash can body 1, the operator can hold the handle body 801 to drive the telescopic rod 7 and the sleeve 4 to rotate around the top of the connecting block 9. Since the lid 3 has a through groove 10 inside, and the connecting block 9 is slidably installed in the through groove 10, after rotating the telescopic rod 7 and the sleeve 4 so that the sleeve 4, the telescopic rod 7 and the connecting block 9 are on the same straight line, the operator can press down. The handle body 801 is pressed down, and because the bottom of the connecting block 9 is fixed with a pressure plate 11, pressing the handle body 801 downwards can cause the pressure plate 11 to slide downwards inside the trash can body 1, thereby compressing the volume of medical waste accumulated inside the trash can body 1, thus preventing the effective storage space inside the trash can body 1 from being occupied. When not in use, the pressure plate 11 is pulled upwards, so that the iron plates 13 fixed on both sides of the top of the pressure plate 11 are magnetically connected with the magnetic plates 12 fixed on both sides of the bottom of the lid 3, thereby fixing the pressure plate 11 to the bottom of the lid 3, thus ensuring that the position of the pressure plate 11 will not affect the opening and closing of the lid 3 when the lid 3 is opened.
[0027] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
