The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] Example

[0026] This embodiment discloses a pollution-proof and labor-saving ampoule opener, such as... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the device includes a housing 1, a self-clamping bottle mouth assembly 2, and a collection chamber 3. The self-clamping bottle mouth assembly 2 is mounted on the side of the housing 1. A positioning hole 6 is provided on the housing 1 below the self-clamping bottle mouth assembly 2. The collection chamber 3 is placed inside the housing 1, and the positioning hole 6 is located above the collection chamber 3. A guide groove 5 is provided between the opening of the positioning hole 6 and the opening of the collection chamber 3. The self-clamping bottle mouth assembly 2 includes cross-connected connecting rods, which are rotatably connected by a toothed clamp. The connecting rods are divided into a handle 21 and a gripper 22 by the toothed clamp. The gripper 22 can hold ampoules. A grinding wheel 24 is provided on the opposite side of the gripper 22. The housing 1 is made of medical-grade ABS material.

[0027] Specifically, the ampoule opener in this embodiment includes a square housing 1 with an internal cavity. A mounting sleeve 7 is located near the top of one side of the housing 1. Two connecting rods of the bottle mouth clamping assembly 2 are connected like pliers, with a rotating shaft 23 in the middle. The end of the rotating shaft 23 away from the connecting rods is connected to the mounting sleeve 7, thus connecting the connecting rods to the housing 1. The connecting rods are divided at the rotating shaft 23, with the upper part longer than the lower part; the upper part is the handle 21, and the lower part is the gripper 22. The gripper 22 moves closer together by bringing the handle 21 closer together. Positioning holes 6 are provided in the housing 1 corresponding to the positions of the gripper 22 for placing the ampoule to be opened. After the ampoule mouth is placed in the positioning hole 6, pulling the handle 21 causes the grinding wheel 24 on the gripper 22 to contact the bottle mouth, rotating the bottle to cut the mouth. Because the length of the handle 21 is greater than the length of the gripper 22, according to the lever principle, a smaller force can be used to cut the bottle mouth. Below the opening of the positioning hole 6 and inside the housing 1, there is a guide channel 5 connected to one end. The other end of the guide channel 5 is at the opening of the collection chamber 3. Because the opening of the collection chamber 3 is lower than the opening of the positioning hole 6, the guide channel 5 slopes downward from the positioning hole 6 to the opening of the collection chamber 3. Therefore, the cut bottle mouth will enter the collection chamber 3 along the guide channel 5, thus completing the waste collection.

[0028] In actual production, the self-clamping bottle mouth assembly 2 can be at a certain small angle with the shell 1 to prevent the liquid inside the bottle from leaking out accidentally.

[0029] Preferably, an opening is provided at the bottom of the housing 1 on the side away from the self-clamping bottle mouth assembly 2, allowing the collection chamber 3 inside the housing 1 to be retrieved through the opening, thus enabling regular waste removal. An openable cover 4 is provided at the opening to protect the internal environment of the housing 1. Specifically, one end of the cover 4 is rotatably connected to the upper part of the opening, and the other end of the cover 4 is magnetically attached to the lower part of the opening. Therefore, the cover 4 can be quickly opened and easily closed, making operation convenient and improving the cleaning efficiency for medical personnel.

[0030] Preferably, the handle 21 is covered with anti-slip silicone, which can increase the friction between the hand and the handle 21 and make the clamping action more precise, while the gripper 22 is covered with ISO10993-5 certified liquid silicone for easy sterilization.

[0031] Preferably, the collection chamber 3 is made of transparent PC board, which allows direct observation of the amount of debris accumulation inside the collection chamber 3, facilitating timely cleaning. It is also corrosion-resistant, which can extend its service life.

[0032] Brief instructions for use:

[0033] Step 1: Before operation, use 75% alcohol wipes to evenly wipe the working surface of the grinding wheel 24 and the clamping area, and perform circular disinfection on the neck of the ampoule to ensure aseptic operation and avoid contamination of the medicine.

[0034] Step 2: During operation, make the ampoule bottle at a certain angle to the table and insert the beveled end into the positioning hole 6.

[0035] Step 2: Smoothly pull the handle 21 to make the grinding wheel 24 make a uniform and complete cut on the neck of the ampoule. Be careful not to apply too much force to avoid breaking the ampoule.

[0036] Step 3: Ensure the bottle cap has completely fallen off and into collection chamber 3 before removing the bottle body to prevent any remaining glass from scattering.

[0037] Waste residue cleaning process:

[0038] Step 1: After confirming that the operation is complete, first open the magnetic adsorption cover, i.e., cover plate 4, to release the fixation, and then carefully remove the collection chamber 3 to prevent internal debris from splashing out.

[0039] Step 2: Pour the waste residue in collection chamber 3 into the designated medical waste container, disinfect the inside and outside with 75% alcohol, and put it back in its original position after it dries.

[0040] Although the embodiments of this utility model have been described in the specification, these embodiments are merely illustrative and should not limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Various omissions, substitutions, and modifications made without departing from the spirit of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
