Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical equipment technology, and in particular to a medical waste collection bin for tuberculosis clinical use. Background Technology

[0002] Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, primarily transmitted through the air. When an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks, they release tiny droplets containing the pathogen. These droplets can be inhaled by others, leading to infection. Medical waste collection bins are specifically designed to collect and dispose of medical waste. By concentrating infectious waste in dedicated containers, the chances of healthcare workers coming into contact with harmful pathogens during handling and processing can be reduced. However, most existing medical waste collection bins for clinical use in tuberculosis treatment still have problems that need to be addressed.

[0003] Most existing medical waste collection bins for tuberculosis clinics are not convenient for removing the inner bin containing medical waste. Generally, staff need to hold the outer and inner bins together to separate them and remove the inner bin from the outer bin. During this process, excessive force may damage the protective gloves, and tuberculosis bacteria may come into contact with the staff's hands, posing a safety hazard. Therefore, it is urgent to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a medical waste collection bin for tuberculosis clinical use.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A medical waste collection bin for tuberculosis clinics includes a foot-operated flip-top bin. The bin contains an inner tub, and a drive shaft is located at the bottom of the inner tub, passing through the bottom of the bin. The drive shaft is rotatably connected to the bin. Gears are fixedly connected to both sides of the drive shaft. One gear has a first rack on one side that engages with it. A connecting frame is fixedly connected to the top of the first rack, and a foot pedal is fixedly connected to the connecting frame on the side away from the first rack. Second racks are meshed on the same side of both gears. A common ring is located at the top of both second racks. The inner tub is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the ring. Positioning rods pass through both ends of the ring and are slidably connected to it. The bottoms of the four positioning rods are fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the foot-operated flip-top bin. The bin utilizes a technique that allows the inner tub to rise a certain distance when the foot pedal is pressed. Therefore, when the foot pedal is pressed down, the second rack rises, causing it to push against the ring and lift the ring, thus raising the inner bucket. This allows the top of the inner bucket to move away from the foot-operated flip-top storage bucket, making it easy to remove. This avoids damaging protective gloves due to excessive force, preventing tuberculosis bacteria from contacting the worker's hands. It effectively solves the problem mentioned in the background art that most existing tuberculosis clinical medical waste storage buckets are inconvenient to remove, typically requiring workers to hold the outer and inner buckets together to separate them. This process can damage protective gloves due to excessive force, potentially allowing tuberculosis bacteria to come into contact with the worker's hands, posing a safety hazard. This technology effectively improves safety, significantly reduces the risk of hand contact with tuberculosis bacteria, thus reducing potential infection risks, and makes the inner bucket easier to remove, reducing operational complexity.

[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model, two handles are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the inner tub.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model, two first limiting rods are passed through each of the two second racks, and two second limiting rods are passed through the first racks. The second racks are slidably connected to the first limiting rods, and the first racks are slidably connected to the second limiting rods. The bottoms of the first and second limiting rods are fixedly connected to a support plate. All three support plates are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the foot-operated flip-top storage bucket. Springs are sleeved on both second limiting rods, and the springs are disposed between the first racks and the support plates.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the side wall of the foot-operated flip-top storage bucket is provided with a first square groove, the first square groove is adapted to the connecting frame, the connecting frame is disposed in the first square groove, and the connecting frame is slidably connected to the foot-operated flip-top storage bucket.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a movable plate is provided on the top of the foot pedal. The movable plate has a vertical groove and an inclined groove, which are connected. A roller is provided in the inclined groove, and a fixed shaft passes through the roller. The roller is rotatably connected to the fixed shaft. A fixed plate is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed shaft. The fixed plate is fixedly connected to the foot pedal. A baffle is fixedly connected to the movable plate on the side near the foot-operated flip-top storage bucket.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, two sleeve plates are fixedly connected to one side of the movable plate, and guide rods are passed through both sleeve plates. The sleeve plates are slidably connected to the guide rods, and both guide rods are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the foot-operated flip-top storage bucket.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the side wall of the foot-operated flip-top storage bucket is provided with a second square groove, the second square groove is adapted to a baffle, and the baffle is disposed in the second square groove.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Because it employs a technology that raises the inner bucket a certain distance when the foot pedal is pressed, the second rack rises when the foot pedal is lowered. This causes the second rack to push against the ring, raising the ring and thus the inner bucket. This moves the top of the inner bucket away from the foot-operated flip-top storage container, allowing the inner bucket to be removed. This avoids damage to protective gloves caused by forceful handling, thus preventing tuberculosis bacteria from contacting the worker's hands. It effectively solves the problem mentioned in the background art where most existing tuberculosis clinical medical waste storage containers are difficult to remove. Generally, workers need to hold the outer and inner buckets together to separate them, and then remove the inner bucket from the outer bucket. During this process, excessive force may damage protective gloves, potentially allowing tuberculosis bacteria to come into contact with the worker's hands, posing a safety hazard. This technology effectively improves safety, significantly reduces the risk of hand contact with tuberculosis bacteria, thereby reducing potential infection risks. The inner bucket is also easier to remove, reducing the complexity of the operation. Attached Figure Description

[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0016] Reference Figure 1-6A medical waste collection bin for tuberculosis clinics includes a foot-operated flip-top collection bin 1. An inner bin 101 is located inside the foot-operated flip-top collection bin 1. A drive shaft 2 is located at the bottom of the inner bin 101, passing through the bottom of the foot-operated flip-top collection bin 1. The drive shaft 2 is rotatably connected to the foot-operated flip-top collection bin 1. Gears 3 are fixedly connected to both sides of the drive shaft 2. A first rack 4 is provided on one side of one of the gears 3 for cooperation with it. A connecting bracket is fixedly connected to the top side of the first rack 4. 5. A foot pedal 6 is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 5 on the side away from the first rack 4. Two second racks 7 are meshed on the same side of both gears 3. A common ring 8 is provided at the top of the two second racks 7. The inner wall of the ring 8 is fixedly connected to the inner tub 101. Positioning rods 9 are threaded through both ends of the ring 8, and the ring 8 is slidably connected to the positioning rods 9. The bottoms of the four positioning rods 9 are fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the foot-operated flip-top storage tub 1. Because the foot pedal is pressed, the inner tub can rise a certain distance. This technology utilizes a method where pressing down the foot pedal lowers the foot pedal, causing the second rack to rise. This, in turn, pushes against the ring, raising the inner bucket and moving its top away from the foot-operated flip-top storage container, allowing for easy removal of the inner bucket. This avoids damaging protective gloves due to excessive force, thus preventing tuberculosis bacteria from contacting the worker's hands. It effectively solves the problem mentioned in the background section where most existing tuberculosis clinical medical waste storage containers are difficult to remove. Typically, workers need to hold the outer and inner buckets together to separate them, which can damage protective gloves due to excessive force, potentially allowing tuberculosis bacteria to come into contact with the worker's hands, posing a safety hazard. This technology significantly improves safety, reduces the risk of hand contact with tuberculosis bacteria, minimizes potential infection risks, and makes the inner bucket easier to remove, reducing operational complexity.

[0017] In this embodiment, two handles 10 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the inner barrel 101.

[0018] In this embodiment, two first limiting rods 11 are threaded through each of the two second racks 7, and two second limiting rods 12 are threaded through the first rack 4. The second racks 7 are slidably connected to the first limiting rods 11, and the first rack 4 is slidably connected to the second limiting rods 12. The bottoms of the first limiting rods 11 and the second limiting rods 12 are fixedly connected to the support plates 13. The three support plates 13 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the foot-operated flip-top storage bucket 1. The two second limiting rods 12 are fitted with springs 1201. The springs 1201 are located between the first rack 4 and the support plates 13. When the second rack 7 moves, it will move along the first limiting rods 11, and when the first rack 4 moves, it will move along the second limiting rods 12, ensuring the stability of the second rack 7 and the first rack 4 when they move.

[0019] In this embodiment, a first square groove 14 is provided on the side wall of the foot-operated flip-top storage bucket 1. The first square groove 14 is adapted to the connecting frame 5. The connecting frame 5 is disposed in the first square groove 14 and is slidably connected to the foot-operated flip-top storage bucket 1.

[0020] In this embodiment, a movable plate 15 is provided on the top of the foot pedal 6. The movable plate 15 has a vertical groove 16 and an inclined groove 17, which are connected. A roller 18 is provided in the inclined groove 17, and a fixed shaft 19 is passed through the roller 18. The roller 18 is rotatably connected to the fixed shaft 19. A fixed plate 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed shaft 19. The fixed plate 20 is fixedly connected to the foot pedal 6. A baffle 21 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 15 on the side near the foot-operated flip-top storage bin 1. When the foot pedal 6 is stepped on, the baffle 21 can be moved laterally, thereby removing the baffle 21 from the top of the ring 8. The inner bin 101 can then be taken out of the foot-operated flip-top storage bin 1, and the waste in the inner bin 101 can be poured out. In daily use, even if the foot-operated flip-top storage bin 1 collapses, the inner bin 101 will not fall out of the foot-operated flip-top storage bin 1, thus avoiding the large amount of medical waste being poured out.

[0021] In this embodiment, two sleeve plates 22 are fixedly connected to one side of the movable plate 15. Guide rods 23 are passed through both sleeve plates 22. The sleeve plates 22 are slidably connected to the guide rods 23. Both guide rods 23 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the foot-operated flip-top storage bucket 1. When the movable plate 15 moves, it will drive the sleeve plates 22 to move along the guide rods 23, ensuring the stability of the movable plate 15 when it moves laterally, and also ensuring the stability of the baffle 21 when it moves.

[0022] In this embodiment, the side wall of the foot-operated flip-top storage bucket 1 is provided with a second square groove 24, which is adapted to the baffle 21, and the baffle 21 is disposed in the second square groove 24.

[0023] Working principle: In use, pressing the pedal of the foot-operated flip-top storage bin 1 opens the lid, allowing medical waste to be placed inside. Releasing the pedal closes the lid. When the inner bin 101 is full and needs emptying, one foot presses the pedal to open the lid, while the other foot presses the foot pedal 6, causing it to descend. This descent of the foot pedal 6 lowers the fixed plate 20, which in turn moves the fixed shaft 19. The fixed shaft 19 then lowers the roller 18, which in turn presses against the moving plate 15. 15. When the moving plate 15 moves laterally, it will drive the sleeve 22 to move along the guide rod 23, ensuring the stability of the moving plate 15 during movement. The movement of the moving plate 15 will also drive the baffle 21 to move, removing the baffle 21 from the top of the ring 8. When the roller 18 enters the vertical groove 16, the baffle 21 is completely removed from the top of the ring 8. The foot pedal 6 can be pressed down to lower the foot pedal 6, causing the roller 18 to move along the vertical groove 16. When the foot pedal 6 lowers, it will also drive the connecting frame 5 to lower. The connecting frame 5 will drive the first rack 4 to lower along the second limit rod 12. The lowering of the first rack 4 will compress the spring 1201, causing the spring 1201 to contract. As rack 4 descends, it drives gear 3 to rotate. Through transmission shaft 2, both gears 3 rotate. The rotation of gear 3 drives the second rack 7 to rise along the first limit rod 11. When the second rack 7 rises and contacts ring 8, it continues to rise, driving ring 8 to rise along positioning rod 9. Ring 8 then drives the inner tub 101 to rise, which in turn drives the handle 10 to rise. When foot pedal 6 descends to its lowest point, handle 10 is completely removed from the foot-operated flip-top storage tub 1. Holding both handles 10, the inner tub 101 can be removed from the foot-operated flip-top storage tub 1, and the medical waste inside can be emptied. Afterwards, the inner tub 101... 01. Perform thorough disinfection to avoid residual tuberculosis bacteria. After disinfection, proceed with the installation. Place the ring 8 onto the positioning rod 9, press the foot pedal 6 again to move the baffle 21 away, place the inner tub 101 into the foot-operated flip-top storage tub 1, and slowly release the foot pedal 6. The contracted spring 1201 will extend, causing the first rack 4 to rise. The rise of the first rack 4 will cause the gear 3 to rotate in the opposite direction, which will cause the second rack 7 to descend. The rise of the first rack 4 will cause the foot pedal 6 to rise, which will allow the roller 18 to move to the inclined groove 17, thus moving the baffle 21 closer to the inner tub 101 until it moves to the top of the ring 8, completing the installation.

[0024] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
