Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical waste treatment technology for outpatient blood draws, specifically a waste sorting and collection device for outpatient blood draws. Background Technology

[0002] In outpatient blood collection, medical staff need to promptly dispose of various types of medical waste after completing the procedure. These mainly include: blood-contaminated cotton swabs and alcohol wipes, used blood collection needles and syringe needles, and discarded vacuum blood collection tubes. Strict waste sorting is a basic requirement for preventing nosocomial infections and ensuring the safety of personnel. Currently, when sorting garbage, people often simply lift the lid of the bin and dispose of the waste by hand. This results in clean hands coming into direct contact with the contaminated surface of the lid, creating a serious risk of cross-infection. Furthermore, existing garbage bins of different types have largely similar opening structures, mostly simple round openings, lacking specific error-proof designs for different waste types. This structural homogeneity makes it highly susceptible for healthcare workers, especially under high stress and fatigue, to mistakenly dispose of contaminated cotton swabs in recyclable bins or, most dangerously, needles in infectious waste containers. Therefore, we have proposed a waste sorting and collection device for outpatient blood draws to address these problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a waste sorting and collection device for outpatient blood drawing. It solves the problems of existing outpatient blood drawing waste sorting and collection methods, such as medical staff having to manually lift the lid of the bins, which can easily lead to contact with contaminants and cross-infection, and the homogeneity of the waste bin openings, which can cause medical staff to make mistakes when they are stressed or fatigued. It is difficult to meet the needs of strict waste sorting to prevent nosocomial infections and ensure the safety of personnel.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a waste sorting and collection device for outpatient blood drawing, including a collection box; A cap is provided at the opening on the top of the collection box; The inner wall of the collection box is fixed with a horizontal plate, and an isolation structure is fixed inside.

[0015] like Figure 1-4 As shown: A waste sorting and collection device for outpatient blood drawing includes a collection box 101; A cap cover 102 is located at the top opening of the collection box 101. A symmetrically arranged buckle 109 is installed between the collection box 101 and the cap cover 102. A handle 111 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the cap cover 102 to facilitate medical staff to lift the device. A horizontal plate is fixed to the inner wall of the collection box 101, and an isolation structure is fixed inside. The collection box 101 is divided into multiple storage cavities by the isolation structure, and a classification box 103 is provided in the storage cavity and placed on the top surface of the horizontal plate. A rectangular opening 108 is opened on the cap cover 102 and corresponds to each group of sorting bins 103. A placement plate 104 is placed on the rectangular opening 108. Multiple placement plates 104 have dedicated disposal openings 105 for different waste forms. The placement plate 104 is equipped with a label plate 106 corresponding to the waste. The upper surface of the placement plate 104 has symmetrically arranged hand slots 107. The sealing plate 110 is installed on the cap cover 102 and is used to seal multiple sets of delivery ports 105; A drive connection mechanism 2 is mounted on the collection box 101. The drive connection mechanism 2 includes a foot pedal 201 located at the bottom of the inner cavity of the collection box 101, with both ends extending outside the collection box 101. Multiple sets of telescopic rods 203 are fixed between the foot pedal 201 and the collection box 101. A first spring 202 is wound around the surface of each telescopic rod 203, with both ends of the first spring 202 fixedly connected to the foot pedal 201 and the collection box 101, respectively. Multiple sets of equidistant connecting rods 204 are fixed to the side of the foot pedal 201 extending outside the collection box 101. A connecting rope 206 is provided at one end of each connecting rod 204. A movable groove adapted to the sealing plate 110 is provided on the cap 102, allowing the sealing plate 110 to slide within the movable groove. Multiple sets of second springs 207 are fixed between the cap cover 102 and the cap cover 102. One end of the connecting rope 206 is fixedly connected to one side of the sealing plate 110. A connecting lock 205 is provided between the connecting rod 204 and the connecting rope 206. The connecting lock 205 includes a hook and a hanging ring. The hook is fixed to one end of the connecting rope 206 and the hanging ring is fixed to one end of the connecting rod 204. A ball screw sleeve is provided on one side of the cap cover 102 near the connecting rope 206, and the connecting rope 206 is located inside the ball screw sleeve. A support block is fixed on one side of the collection box 101 near the connecting rod 204, and a limiting sliding hole adapted to the connecting rod 204 is opened on the support block. An movable opening adapted to the foot pedal 201 is opened on the collection box 101, and the foot pedal 201 slides up and down in the movable opening opened in the collection box 101.

[0016] like Figure 4As shown in this implementation plan: The outpatient blood-drawing waste sorting and collection device, during use, selects multiple sets of placement plates 104 with different dedicated disposal ports 105 based on the shape and characteristics of different types of medical waste generated during outpatient blood drawing, such as blood-contaminated cotton swabs, alcohol wipes, used blood collection needles, syringe needles, and discarded vacuum blood collection tubes. Then, the selected placement plates 104 are placed one by one into the rectangular openings 108 on the cap cover 102, ensuring a tight fit between the placement plates 104 and the rectangular openings 108 to prevent them from falling off during subsequent waste disposal. After the placement plate 104 is placed, medical staff can clearly observe the waste disposal type corresponding to each placement plate 104 using the waste-specific marking plates 106 on it, providing intuitive guidance for accurate subsequent sorting and disposal. Furthermore, if the placement plate 104 needs to be replaced or cleaned later, it can be easily accessed and placed using the symmetrically arranged hand slots 107 on its upper surface, improving operational convenience. Medical staff maintain a stable standing position and step on the pedal 201, which is located at the bottom of the inner cavity of the collection box 101 and extends to the outside of the collection box 101 at both ends. As the pedal 201 is stepped on, it exerts downward pressure on the multiple sets of telescopic rods 203 fixed to the collection box 101, causing the telescopic rods 203 to contract. Simultaneously, the first spring 202 wrapped around the surface of the telescopic rod 203 is compressed, storing elastic potential energy. As the pedal 201 moves downward, the multiple sets of equidistantly arranged connecting rods 204 fixed to one side of the collection box 101 also move downward. Since one end of the connecting rod 204 is connected to the connecting rope 206 via a connecting lock 205, which includes a hook and a loop, the hook is fixed to one end of the connecting rope 206, and the loop is fixed to one end of the connecting rod 204. This connection allows the movement of the connecting rod 204 to generate tension in the connecting rope 206. The connecting rope 206 slides within a ball screw sleeve located near the cap 102 on one side, reducing friction and ensuring smooth force transmission. The other end of the connecting rope 206 is fixedly connected to one side of the sealing plate 110. Under tension, the sealing plate 110 slides along a matching groove on the cap 102, while the multiple sets of second springs 207 fixed between the sealing plate 110 and the cap 102 are stretched. As the sealing plate 110 slides, the delivery port 105 on the placement plate 104, previously obscured by the sealing plate 110, is gradually exposed. After the disposal port 105 is exposed, medical staff, based on the type of medical waste, refer to the marking plate 106 on the placement plate 104 and accurately place the corresponding waste into the corresponding disposal port 105. The waste enters the sorting bins 103 within the corresponding storage cavities of the collection box 101, which are separated by an isolation structure, thus achieving the classified collection of medical waste. The horizontal plate fixed to the inner wall of the collection box 101 provides stable support for the sorting bins 103, ensuring that the sorting bins 103 are placed securely within the collection box 101. like Figure 2 and 3 As shown: After the waste is disposed of, the medical staff releases the pedal 201. At this time, the compressed first spring 202 releases its elastic potential energy, pushing the pedal 201 to return to its original position, and the telescopic rod 203 also extends and returns to its initial state. The return of the pedal 201 causes the connecting rod 204 to move upward, the tension of the connecting rope 206 disappears, the stretched second spring 207 restores its elastic deformation, and pulls the sealing plate 110 to slide in the opposite direction along the moving groove, resealing the disposal port 105 to prevent the leakage of harmful substances generated by medical waste in the sorting bin 103, and at the same time prevent external pollutants from entering the sorting bin 103 and causing secondary pollution. When outpatient blood collection is completed or the waste in the sorting bin 103 reaches a certain amount, the device needs to be cleaned and maintained. Open the buckle 109 between the collection bin 101 and the cap cover 102, and remove the cap cover 102 from the top opening of the collection bin 101 using the handle 111 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the cap cover 102. Then, remove the sorting bins 103 placed on the horizontal plate in the collection bin 101 one by one, and process the medical waste in the sorting bins 103 according to the medical waste disposal regulations. After processing, clean and disinfect the sorting bins 103 for the next use. Put the cleaned and disinfected sorting bins 103 back into the storage cavity in the collection bin 101, place the placement plate 104, cover the cap cover 102 and fasten the buckle 109 to restore the device to its initial state and prepare for the next waste collection in the outpatient blood collection process. This solution utilizes a foot pedal 201, which, through a drive mechanism 2, moves the sealing plate 110 to expose and seal the disposal opening 105. The entire process eliminates the need for hand contact with contaminated areas, effectively preventing direct contact between hands and contaminants, significantly reducing the risk of cross-infection, and ensuring the health and safety of medical staff and other relevant personnel. After disposal, the sealing plate 110 promptly seals the disposal opening 105, preventing bacteria, viruses, and other harmful substances from the medical waste in the sorting bin 103 from spreading into the air, reducing the possibility of airborne pollution, and further improving... To ensure the safety of the outpatient medical environment, the device is equipped with multiple placement plates 104 with different dedicated disposal ports 105. The device is designed with a dedicated disposal structure for different types of medical waste. This dedicated design avoids the classification confusion caused by the homogeneity of disposal ports 105 in traditional trash cans. Even when medical staff are under high stress or fatigue, they can quickly find the corresponding disposal port 105 according to the form of the waste. This effectively reduces the probability of incorrect disposal such as mistakenly putting contaminated cotton swabs into recyclable waste bins or accidentally throwing dangerous needles into infectious waste containers, thus improving the accuracy of waste sorting.
