Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to an ampoule bottle breaker with a grinding wheel. Background Technology
[0002] Ampoules are small glass containers primarily used for storing injectable medications, vaccines, serums, etc., and are widely used due to their good sealing properties and ease of sealing. In current technology, opening an ampoule typically involves first using a grinding wheel to make a scratch on the neck, sterilizing the neck (the concave part of the bottle), then turning the bottle upside down and breaking off the neck. Another type of easy-break ampoule has the neck pre-cut by the manufacturer, allowing the user to break it directly according to the manufacturer's instructions. Regardless of the method, there is a risk of irregular glass shards cutting the operator.

Another type of easy-break ampoule has the neck pre-cut by the manufacturer, allowing the user to break it directly according to the manufacturer's instructions. Regardless of the method, there is a risk of irregular glass shards cutting the operator. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an ampoule bottle breaker with a grinding wheel to solve the problems existing in the prior art.
[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] An ampoule bottle breaker with a grinding wheel includes a rubber sleeve. A grinding wheel is snapped onto one end of the rubber sleeve. A metal mesh is embedded inside the rubber sleeve. The diameter of one end of the rubber sleeve is larger than the diameter of the other end. An integrally formed insertion / removal part is provided on the minor diameter of the rubber sleeve. The insertion / removal part includes a first disc, a first cylinder, and a second disc. The first disc is located near the rubber sleeve. One end of the first cylinder is fixedly connected to the first disc, and the other end of the first cylinder is fixedly connected to the second disc. The axes of the rubber sleeve, the first disc, the first cylinder, and the second disc are all collinear, and the diameter of the second disc is smaller than the diameter of the first disc.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the material of the insertion / extraction part and the rubber sleeve are the same, both being soft rubber. The difference is that the rubber sleeve has a metal mesh inside, but the insertion / extraction part does not. The rubber sleeve and the insertion / extraction part are integrally molded and manufactured through an insert injection molding process. The reason for setting a metal mesh inside the rubber sleeve is to prevent glass shards from cutting through the rubber sleeve during use and causing injury to the operator's hands. The purpose of the second disc having a smaller diameter than the first disc is to better fit the grinding wheel onto the first cylindrical part.
[0008] In a further embodiment, the diameter of the second disk is between 1.5 and 1.8 times the diameter of the first cylinder.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when the diameter of the first cylindrical part is 2mm, the diameter of the second disc is between 3mm and 3.6mm. This setting is to facilitate the insertion of the grinding wheel. For example, when the grinding wheel needs to be fitted, the second disc is kneaded together and then inserted into the central shaft hole of the grinding wheel. After a part of the second disc passes through the shaft hole, the second disc is pulled out, making the diameter of the first cylinder thinner and the length longer. After installation, the second disc is released, which can realize the automatic restoration of the entire insertion and removal part. After restoration, the insertion and removal part will hold the grinding wheel on the first cylinder between the first disc and the second disc.
[0010] In a further embodiment, the interior of the rubber sleeve is provided with an antibacterial coating.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the rubber sleeve is used to fit over the ampoule and then break it. The embedded metal mesh will affect the extensibility of the rubber sleeve (it cannot be stretched arbitrarily), but it will not affect the flexibility of the rubber sleeve. The rubber sleeve can still be freely deformed (completely, twisted, etc.). Therefore, the inside of the rubber sleeve is in frequent contact with the ampoule, so an antibacterial coating needs to be added.
[0012] In a further embodiment, an iron sheet is bonded to the end of the second disk away from the first cylinder.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, after the grinding wheel is fitted onto the first cylinder, the setting of the adhesive patch on the second disc increases the difficulty of the grinding wheel falling off and detaching from the insertion part, thus avoiding the problem of the grinding wheel falling off during daily use.
[0014] In a further embodiment, a thickened area is provided in the middle section of the outer side of the rubber sleeve.
[0015] The above technical solution is used to further prevent glass shards from scratching the rubber sleeve.
[0016] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] 1. The technical solution of installing the grinding wheel on the insertion and removal part by snapping it together allows the grinding wheel to be removed and replaced after a period of use. Compared with the existing technology of setting the grinding wheel at the bottom of the rubber sleeve, this ensures the effective working area of the grinding wheel and is more in line with the usage habits of medical staff.

[0024] Example 1:
[0025] like Figures 1-3As shown, an ampoule bottle opener with a grinding wheel includes a rubber sleeve 1. A grinding wheel 2 is snapped onto one end of the rubber sleeve 1. A metal mesh 3 is embedded inside the rubber sleeve 1. The diameter of one end of the rubber sleeve 1 is larger than the diameter of the other end. An integrally formed insertion / removal part 4 is provided on the smaller diameter of the rubber sleeve 1. The insertion / removal part 4 includes a first disc 41, a first cylinder 42, and a second disc 43. The first disc 41 is located on the side closer to the rubber sleeve 1, and one end of the first cylinder 42 is fixedly connected to the first disc 41. Then, the other end of the first cylinder 42 is fixedly connected to the second disk 43, and the axes of the rubber sleeve 1, the first disk 41, the first cylinder 42 and the second disk 43 are all collinear, and the diameter of the second disk 43 is smaller than the diameter of the first disk 41; the diameter of the second disk 43 is between 1.5 and 1.8 times the diameter of the first cylinder 42; the inside of the rubber sleeve 1 is provided with an antibacterial coating; an iron sheet is bonded to the end of the second disk 43 away from the first cylinder 42; a thickened area is provided in the middle section of the outer side of the rubber sleeve 1.
[0026] Specific implementation process: The material of the insertion / extraction part 4 is the same as that of the rubber sleeve 1, both being soft rubber. The difference is that the rubber sleeve 1 has a metal mesh 3 inside, but the insertion / extraction part 4 does not. The rubber sleeve 1 and the insertion / extraction part 4 are integrally molded using an insert injection molding process. The reason for setting the metal mesh 3 inside the rubber sleeve 1 is to prevent glass shards from cutting through the rubber sleeve 1 during use, thus avoiding injury to the operator's hands. The diameter of the second disc 43 is smaller than that of the first disc 41 to better fit the grinding wheel 2 onto the first cylinder. On part 42, when the diameter of the first cylindrical part is 2mm, the diameter of the second disc is between 3mm and 3.6mm. This setting is to facilitate the insertion of the grinding wheel. For example, when the grinding wheel needs to be fitted, the second disc is kneaded together and then inserted into the central shaft hole of the grinding wheel. After a part of the second disc passes through the shaft hole, the second disc is pulled out, making the diameter of the first cylinder thinner and the length longer. After installation, the second disc is released, which can realize the automatic restoration of the entire insertion and removal part. After restoration, the insertion and removal part will hold the grinding wheel on the first cylinder between the first disc and the second disc.
[0027] In the embodiments disclosed in this utility model, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; "linking" can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments disclosed in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0028] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.
