Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a sharps box, and more particularly to an improved sharps box. Background Technology
[0002] Sharps containers are common medical supplies, mainly used to store medical waste sharps, such as needles, IV needles, or gauze that comes into contact with wounds.
[0003] Existing sharps containers are primarily for storage. However, there are gaps between medical waste items discarded inside the container, making it impossible to compact them properly, thus reducing the amount of medical waste the container can hold. Utility Model Content
[0004] Purpose of the utility model: The purpose of this utility model is to propose an improved sharps container that can compress and feed in medical waste.
[0005] Technical solution: This utility model includes a cylinder, with a cap threadedly connected to the top end of the cylinder. A rotating part is rotatably provided on the upper part of the cap. A feeding port is coaxially opened on the rotating part and the cap. A screw is provided inside the cylinder. One end of the screw passes through the cap and the rotating part. A rotating component is installed on the top of the screw that extends out of the rotating part. A lower pressure plate is threadedly connected to the outside of the screw. The lower pressure plate slides along a recessed part opened on the inner wall of the cylinder under the drive of the screw.
[0006] The cover has a raised portion.
[0007] The rotating part has an arc-shaped guide groove on its edge, and a limiting part is provided in the arc-shaped guide groove. The limiting part divides the arc-shaped guide groove into a movable groove and a positioning groove.
[0008] The positioning groove is the same size as the protrusion. By default, the protrusion is located in the movable groove.
[0009] A rubber ring is provided between the screw, the cover, and the rotating part, and the rubber ring contacts the outer wall of the screw. When the compacted waste naturally fluffs up to the predetermined height, it will push the lower pressure plate up a short distance. At this time, the rubber ring can generate a certain damping force to counteract the force of the fluffing and pushing. When rotating the rotating part clockwise to drive the screw to rotate, it is necessary to hold the rotating part to prevent it from moving.
[0010] The screw has a double-threaded structure, and the two threads are in the same direction. When the screw rotation stops, the compacted waste will naturally fluff up to a predetermined height, at which point it will push the lower pressure plate up a short distance.
[0011] There is a gap between the rotating component and the end face of the rotating part.
[0012] The lower pressure plate is made of plastic with a thickness of 0.7-1cm.
[0013] Beneficial effects: This utility model has a simple structure and is easy and quick to operate. The screw drives the lower pressure plate to move down along the direction of the recess, pressing and compacting the falling garbage, thereby compressing the internal space of the cylinder and increasing the storage capacity of the sharps box.

[0015] Figure 2 for Figure 1 Exploded view;
[0016] Figure 3 for Figure 1 A sectional view;
[0017] Figure 4 for Figure 1 Top view. Detailed Implementation
[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0019] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the improved sharps box of this utility model includes a cylindrical body 1. A cover 4 is threadedly connected to the top end of the cylindrical body 1. A rotating part 5 is rotatably disposed on the upper part of the cover 4. The end faces of the cover 4 and the rotating part 5 abut against each other, resulting in a certain rotational damping force. A feeding port 100 is coaxially opened on the rotating part 5 and the cover 4.
[0020] Inside the cylinder 1, there is a screw 2. One end of the screw 2 passes through the cover 4 and the rotating part 5. A rotating component 7 is installed on the top of the screw 2 extending out of the rotating part 5, and the rotating component 7 maintains a certain distance from the end face of the rotating part 5. A lower pressure plate 3 is threadedly connected to the outside of the screw 2. The lower pressure plate 3 can slide along the recess 11 opened in the inner wall of the cylinder 1 under the drive of the screw 2. The lower pressure plate 3 is made of plastic with a thickness of 0.7-1cm, and multiple reinforcing ribs can be added to the lower pressure plate 3. Rotating the rotating component 7 clockwise will drive the screw 2 to rotate, driving the lower pressure plate 3 to move downward along the direction of the recess 11, thereby pressing down and compacting the falling garbage, thus compressing the internal space of the cylinder 1 and increasing the storage capacity of the sharps container.
[0021] The screw 2 has a double-threaded structure with the two threads pointing in the same direction. The screw 2 is made of plastic. When the screw 2 stops rotating, the compacted waste will naturally fluff up to a predetermined height, at which point it will push the lower pressure plate 3 upward a short distance.
[0022] A rubber ring 6 is provided between the screw 2, the cover 4, and the rotating part 5, and the rubber ring 6 contacts the outer wall of the screw 2. When the compacted waste naturally fluffs up to the predetermined height, it will push the lower pressure plate 3 upward a short distance. At this time, the rubber ring 6 can generate a certain damping force to counteract the force of the fluffing push. When the rotating part 7 is rotated clockwise to drive the screw 2 to rotate, the rotating part 5 needs to be pressed to prevent the rotating part 5 from moving.
[0023] like Figure 4 As shown, the cover 4 has a protrusion 41, and the edge of the rotating part 5 has an arc-shaped guide groove. A limiting part 51 is provided within the arc-shaped guide groove, dividing it into a movable groove 52 and a positioning groove 53. The positioning groove 53 is the same size as the protrusion 41. By default, the protrusion 41 is located within the movable groove 52. When the rotating part 5 is rotated, the protrusion 41 moves within the movable groove 52. When the protrusion 41 reaches one end of the movable groove 52, the rotating part 5 corresponds to the feeding port 100 on the cover 4, allowing waste to be fed. When the protrusion 41 reaches the other end of the movable groove 52, the rotating part 5 and the feeding port 100 on the cover 4 are misaligned. When the waste is full, rotating the rotating part 5 causes the protrusion 41 to pass over the limiting part 51 and reach the positioning groove 53, thus limiting the rotation of the rotating part 5. At this time, the rotating part 5 and the feeding port 100 on the cover 4 are misaligned.
