Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sharps container technology, and in particular to a sharps container for preventing insulin needle punctures. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing number of diabetic patients, insulin injection has become a very common procedure in daily care. After injecting insulin into a patient, healthcare workers usually need to dispose of the used insulin needle. Currently, the common practice is for nurses to manually unscrew the cap and then discard it into a sharps bin.

[0003] Insulin needles are typically small with a thin, short tip, making them highly susceptible to needle pricks for healthcare workers during the process of recapping and unscrewing the needle. Needle pricks not only cause physical pain but also increase the risk of contracting bloodborne diseases such as HIV and hepatitis B. Furthermore, needle pricks can cause psychological stress for healthcare workers, affecting their work performance and the quality of care. Therefore, this invention proposes a sharps container to prevent insulin needle pricks and address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0029] The terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, used in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this utility model are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this utility model are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a specific order.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-9 A sharps container for preventing insulin needle pricks includes a container body 5. A first collar 4 is fixedly mounted on the top of the container body 5. A second collar 3 is mounted on the first collar 4. A rotating disk 1 is rotatably mounted inside the second collar 3. A first half-baffle 2 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the rotating disk 1, blocking a portion of the opening on the inner side of the rotating disk 1. The inner wall of the first half-baffle 2 is fixed to the inner wall of the rotating disk 1, and its outer wall can be a curved '3' shape. The area occupied by the first half-baffle 2 is approximately half of the opening at the top of the container body, effectively sealing half of the opening. The second collar 3... A second half-baffle 7 is fixedly installed on the inner wall. The second half-baffle 7 is located at one end of the first half-baffle 2 and below the first half-baffle 2. The second half-baffle 7 blocks part of the remaining opening of the bucket body after being blocked by the first half-baffle 2. A discharge hole 6 is formed between the second half-baffle 7 and the second collar 3. This discharge hole 6 is the part remaining after the opening of the entire bucket body 5 is blocked by the first half-baffle 2 and the second half-baffle 7. Large medical waste can be put into the bucket body 5 through the discharge hole 6. The rotating disk 1 drives the first half-baffle 2 to rotate so that it can cover the discharge hole 6 and the hole 8.

[0031] The size of the first half-baffle 2 is larger than the size of the feeding hole 6. The top of the second half-baffle 7 has a hole 8. The rotating disk 1 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the second collar 3. Rotating the second collar 3 blocks the hole 8 from the first half-baffle 2. Therefore, the first half-baffle 2 rotates with the rotating disk 1 and is not fixed in place. The size of the hole 8 is adapted to the size of the insulin needle, ensuring that the insulin needle is held in place without causing the entire syringe to fall out of the hole 8. The inner diameter of the hole 8 gradually decreases from one side to the other. When the insulin needle is inserted into the side with the larger inner diameter of the hole 8, it is moved towards the side with the smaller inner diameter. ，Medical staff insert the used insulin needle into the hole 8 at the top of the second half-baffle 7. The hole 8 has a gear groove 9 inside. After the needle is inserted, when the insulin needle moves to the appropriate position in the hole 8, the needle will be limited and fixed by the gear groove 9 within the hole 8. The gear groove 9 can increase the stability of the needle and prevent it from shaking or falling off during the process. At the same time, the outer wall of the connection of the insulin needle is generally provided with anti-slip threads, which further enhances the fixing effect of the needle. After the needle is limited and fixed by the gear groove 9 in the hole 8, the medical staff can unscrew the needle and remove it from the syringe. This process does not require the medical staff to directly touch the needle with their hands, thereby avoiding the risk of needlestick injury.

[0032] The inner wall of the second ring 3 is provided with a limiting mechanism 21, which is used to lock the position of the first half baffle 2. The limiting mechanism 21 includes a sliding plate 13 and a limiting block 20. The lower end of the limiting block 20 is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 13. The sliding plate 13 and the limiting block 20 are both fixedly connected through the second half baffle 7. The top of the sliding plate 13 is provided with an arc groove 15. The side of the limiting block 20 near the sliding plate 13 is provided with a limiting slot 12. The limiting slot 12 is connected to the arc groove 15. The bottom of the first half baffle 2 is fixedly provided with a sliding rod 14. The sliding rod 14 is movably disposed in the arc groove 15 and is locked in the limiting slot 12. The unscrewed needle falls directly into the barrel 5 through the hole 8. Then the rotating disk 1 is rotated. The rotating disk 1 is locked into the limiting slot 12 by the limiting block 20 for limiting installation, so that the rotating disk 1 can cover the feeding hole 6 and the hole 8 to prevent the needle from falling out accidentally.

[0033] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the bottom of the second ring 3 is provided with an annular groove 18, and the top of the first ring 4 is fixedly provided with an annular block 19. The annular block 19 is installed in the annular groove 18. The bottom of the second ring 3 is provided with an annular groove 18, and the top of the first ring 4 is fixedly provided with an annular block 19. The annular block 19 is installed in the annular groove 18. The first ring 4 and the second ring 3 are easy to install and disassemble, and it is convenient to disassemble the second ring 3 to clean the inside of the barrel 5.

[0034] The inner side of the second ring 3 is provided with an annular groove 16. The lower end of the rotating disk 1 is fixedly fitted with an annular slider 17, which is slidably disposed in the annular groove 16. The inner side of the second ring 3 is provided with an annular groove 16. The lower end of the rotating disk 1 is fixedly fitted with an annular slider 17, which is slidably disposed in the annular groove 16, ensuring the smooth rotation of the rotating disk 1. The bottom of the first half baffle 2 is fixedly provided with a rotating rod 10, which is located at the center of the second ring 3. The bottom of the second half baffle 7 is fixedly provided with a sleeve block 11, which is rotatably disposed in the sleeve block 11.

[0035] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the barrel body 5 includes a base layer 52, which is made of polypropylene. An anti-corrosion layer 53 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the base layer 52, and a waterproof layer 51 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the base layer 52. By fixing the anti-corrosion layer 53 on the inner side of the base layer 52, the corrosion resistance of the barrel body is improved; by fixing the waterproof layer 51 on the outer side of the base layer 52, the waterproof performance of the barrel body is improved, which can prevent liquid leakage.

[0036] The working principle and usage of this utility model:

[0037] During use, medical personnel insert the used insulin needle into the hole 8 at the top of the second half-baffle 7. The hole 8 has a gear groove 9 inside. After the needle is inserted, the gear groove 9 increases the needle's stability, preventing it from shaking or falling off during handling. The needle is fixed in place by the gear groove 9 within the hole 8, allowing medical personnel to unscrew it and remove it from the syringe. This process eliminates the need for direct hand contact with the needle, thus avoiding the risk of needlestick injury. The unscrewed needle falls directly into the barrel 5 through the hole 8. Then, the rotating disk 1 is rotated. The rotating disk 1 is locked in place by a limiting block 20 into a limiting slot 12, ensuring that the rotating disk 1 covers the discharge hole 6 and the hole 8, preventing the needle from accidentally falling off. An anti-corrosion layer 53 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the base layer 52, improving the barrel's corrosion resistance.
