Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sharps box technology, specifically an improved sharps box. Background Technology

[0002] A sharps container is a medical storage box used to collect sharp instruments such as syringes, small glassware, blades, and suture needles. Sharps containers are for single use only and are required to be collected by a medical waste disposal unit within 24 hours and completely and safely incinerated within 48 hours. According to medical regulations, sharps containers should be disposed of promptly when they are 2 / 3 to 3 / 4 full.

[0003] There is no corresponding measure in the current technology to indicate when the sharps container is full. When clinical medical staff are busy, they cannot detect and deal with it in time, resulting in the sharps container being too full and causing needlestick injuries. When disposing of the needle tip of the infusion set, a separate pair of scissors is required to cut off the needle tip. The scissors are corroded and rusted by drugs over time, are difficult to clean, and are very easy to cause needlestick injuries during the cutting process. In addition, the sharps container currently used cannot be placed on the sides of the treatment cart, but can only be placed at the bottom of the treatment cart, which is very inconvenient for nurses to bend over multiple times.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0023] This utility model provides a technical solution: such as Figures 1-5As shown, in this embodiment, an improved sharps box includes a sharps box 1, a mounting rod 25, and a positioning seat 32. The positioning seat 32 is equipped with a microprocessor 22, an alarm 23, and a photoelectric sensor 24. A thin plastic sheet 3 is embedded in the rear of the sharps box 1, and the photoelectric sensor 24 is correspondingly positioned to the thin plastic sheet 3. A flip cover 2 is rotatably mounted on the sharps box 1. A through hole 5 is opened at the top of the sharps box 1, and a mounting ring 6 is provided inside the through hole 5. The mounting ring 6 is rotatably connected to the sharps box 1 via a bearing. Multiple sets of annularly distributed blades 8 are provided inside the through hole 5. All sets of blades 8 are rotatably connected to the sharps box 1 via mounting shafts 9. First gears 10 are sleeved on each of the multiple sets of mounting shafts 9, and the multiple sets of first gears 10 are meshed with gear rings 7. The mounting rod 2... A first adjusting rod 26 is slidably installed inside the mounting rod 25, and a second adjusting rod 27 is slidably installed inside the first adjusting rod 26. The end of the second adjusting rod 27 away from the mounting rod 25 is fixedly connected to the positioning seat 32. The positioning seat 32 is provided with four sets of symmetrically distributed limiting blocks 33, which are located at the four corners of the sharps box 1. The sharps box 1 is placed on the positioning seat 32, and the photoelectric sensor 24 is aligned with the thin plastic sheet 3 and clipped into the rear wall of the sharps box 1. The photoelectric sensor 24 emits and receives light signals through the thin plastic sheet 3, detects the reflection or obstruction of light by the material, and thus determines the height of the material in the sharps box 1. The thin plastic sheet 3 is made of a material such as polycarbonate PC and polymethyl methacrylate PMMA that allows sufficient light to pass through. 4. The light signal is converted into an electrical signal and transmitted to the microprocessor 22. When the material in the sharps box 1 reaches the same height as the thin plastic sheet 3, that is, two-thirds of the height inside the sharps box 1, the microprocessor 22 controls the alarm 23 to sound, reminding the staff that the sharps box 1 needs to be replaced. At the same time, during the use of the sharps box 1, the staff inserts the front end of the infusion set into the through hole 5 and rotates it through the mounting shaft 9. This, in conjunction with the gear ring 7 and the first gear 10, drives multiple sets of mounting shafts 9 and blades 8 to rotate synchronously. The multiple sets of blades 8 close synchronously to complete the automatic cutting of the infusion set needle. Two sets of symmetrically distributed first torsion springs 4 are sleeved on both sides of the flip cover 2. The two ends of the two sets of first torsion springs 4 are respectively fixedly connected to the flip cover 2 and the sharps box 1. A mounting shaft 9 on the right side is sleeved with Two sets of symmetrically distributed ratchet wheels 11 are provided. Two sets of symmetrically distributed pawls 12 are provided inside the sharps container 1. The two sets of pawls 12 are respectively engaged with the corresponding ratchet wheels 11. Both sets of pawls 12 are rotatably connected to the sharps container 1 via rotating rods 13. A second gear 15 is sleeved on the lower end of each of the two rotating rods 13. Two sets of racks 16 are provided inside the sharps container 1, corresponding to the rotating rods 13. The two sets of racks 16 are fixedly connected by a connecting frame 17. A positioning block 18 is fixedly installed on the connecting frame 17. A second torsion spring 14 is sleeved on each of the two rotating rods 13. The two ends of the second torsion spring 14 are respectively fixedly connected to the pawls 12 and the sharps container 1. The two sets of racks 16 are respectively engaged with the corresponding second gears 15. The two sets of racks 16 and the connecting frame 17 are slidably connected to the sharps container 1.The sharps box 1 contains positioning rods 19 corresponding to positioning blocks 18. Two sets of symmetrically distributed positioning frames 20 are rotatably mounted on the positioning rods 19. The two sets of positioning frames 20 are movably engaged with the positioning rods 19. A third torsion spring 21 is sleeved on the positioning rods 19. The two ends of the third torsion spring 21 are fixedly connected to the positioning frames 20 and the positioning rods 19, respectively. Normally, the mounting shaft 9 cannot rotate when the pawl 12 and ratchet 11 are engaged. When it is necessary to rotate the mounting shaft 9, the connecting frame 17 pulls the two sets of racks 16, and during the movement of the racks 16, they cooperate with the two sets of second gears 15 to make the rotating rod 13 move. The corresponding pawl 12 deviates from its restriction on the ratchet 11. Under the action of the positioning block 18 and the positioning frame 20, the positions of the connecting frame 17 and the rack 16 are fixed, thereby realizing the rotation of the mounting shaft 9 and the closing of the multiple sets of blades 8, completing the shearing of the infusion tube needle. After shearing, the connecting frame 17 is pulled in the opposite direction, causing the positioning frame 20 to release its position restriction on the positioning block 18. Under the action of the second torsion spring 14, the rotating rod 13 drives the pawl 12 to return to its original position, continuing to limit the pawl 12. The mounting shaft 9 cannot rotate freely, and the multiple sets of blades 8 remain in a closed state, sealing the sharps box 1.

[0024] like Figure 6 As shown, a screw 28 is rotatably installed inside the mounting rod 25, and a screw tube 30 is rotatably installed inside the first adjusting rod 26. The screw 28 passes through the first adjusting rod 26 and is threadedly connected to it. The screw tube 30 passes through the second adjusting rod 27 and is threadedly connected to it. Two sets of symmetrically distributed slots 29 are provided on the screw 28, and two sets of symmetrically distributed locking blocks 31 are provided inside the screw tube 30. The locking blocks 31 are correspondingly set with the slots 29, and the screw tube 30 is slidably sleeved with the screw 28 through the locking blocks 31. Two sets of symmetrically distributed first sliding rods 34 are slidably installed inside the positioning seat 32, and two sets of symmetrically distributed second sliding rods 35 are slidably installed inside the positioning seat 32. The two sets of first sliding rods 34 and the two sets of second sliding rods 35 are perpendicularly distributed. Four sets of limiting blocks 33 are slidably connected to one set of first sliding rods 34 and one set of second sliding rods 35, respectively. The two sets of first sliding rods 34 are perpendicular to each other. Two sets of symmetrically distributed cylinders 36 are provided between the second slide rods 35. A solenoid valve 37 is provided between the two sets of cylinders 36. The solenoid valve 37 is fixedly connected to the inlet and outlet ports of the two sets of cylinders 36 through connecting pipes. Through the cooperation of the solenoid valve 37 and the cylinders 36, the two sets of first slide rods 34 or second slide rods 35 slide inward or outward synchronously, thereby realizing the adjustment of the distance between the four sets of limit blocks 33, and realizing the quick fixing or disassembly of the sharps box 1. During use, the motor in the mounting rod 25 is activated according to the actual required usage height to drive the screw 28 to rotate. Under the limiting action of the locking block 31 and the locking groove 29, the screw tube 30 rotates synchronously with the screw 28. Therefore, under the limiting action of the mounting rod 25, the first adjusting rod 26 slides, and under the limiting action of the first adjusting rod 26, the second adjusting rod 27 slides, thereby adjusting the height of the positioning seat 32.

[0025] This utility model provides an improved sharps box, the specific working principle of which is as follows: The sharps box 1 is placed on the positioning seat 32, and the photoelectric sensor 24 is aligned with the thin plastic sheet 3 and clipped into the rear wall of the sharps box 1. The photoelectric sensor 24 emits and receives light signals through the thin plastic sheet 3, detects the reflection or obstruction of light by the material, and thus determines the height of the material in the sharps box 1. The thin plastic sheet 3 is made of a material that allows sufficient light to pass through, such as polycarbonate PC or polymethyl methacrylate PMMA. The photoelectric sensor 24 converts the light signal into an electrical signal and transmits it to the microprocessor 22. When the material in the sharps box 1 reaches the same height as the thin plastic sheet 3, the sharps box is ready for use. When the sharps box 1 is two-thirds full, the microprocessor 22 controls the alarm 23 to sound, reminding the staff that the sharps box 1 needs to be replaced. During use, the staff inserts the infusion set tip into the through hole 5 and rotates the mounting shaft 9. This, in conjunction with the gear ring 7 and the first gear 10, drives multiple sets of mounting shafts 9 and blades 8 to rotate synchronously. The multiple sets of blades 8 then close synchronously to automatically cut the infusion set needle. Normally, the mounting shaft 9 cannot rotate when the pawl 12 and ratchet 11 are engaged. When rotation of the mounting shaft 9 is required, the connecting bracket 17 pulls two sets of racks 16, and during the movement of the racks 16... Two sets of second gears 15 cause the rotating rod 13 to drive the corresponding pawl 12 to deviate from the restriction on the ratchet 11. Under the action of the positioning block 18 and the positioning frame 20, the positions of the connecting frame 17 and the rack 16 are fixed, thereby realizing the rotation of the mounting shaft 9 and the closing of multiple sets of blades 8, completing the shearing of the infusion tube needle. After shearing, the connecting frame 17 is pulled in the opposite direction, causing the positioning frame 20 to release the position restriction on the positioning block 18. Under the action of the second torsion spring 14, the rotating rod 13 drives the pawl 12 to return to its original position, continuing to limit the pawl 12. The mounting shaft 9 cannot rotate freely, and the multiple sets of blades 8 remain in a closed state, sealing the sharps box 1. When closed, the two sets of first slide rods 34 or second slide rods 35 slide synchronously inward or outward through the cooperation of solenoid valve 37 and cylinder 36, thereby adjusting the distance between the four sets of limit blocks 33 and realizing the quick fixing or disassembly of the sharps box 1. During use, the motor in the mounting rod 25 is activated to drive the screw 28 to rotate according to the actual required usage height. Under the limiting action of the locking block 31 and the locking groove 29, the screw tube 30 rotates synchronously with the screw 28. Therefore, under the limiting action of the mounting rod 25, the first adjusting rod 26 slides, and under the limiting action of the first adjusting rod 26, the second adjusting rod 27 slides, thereby adjusting the height of the positioning seat 32.

[0026] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
