[0020] This embodiment provides a medical sharps collection device 100, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the medical sharps collection device 100 includes a receiving member 1 and a cutting assembly 2. The receiving member 1 is used to receive sharps, and the cutting assembly 2 is used to separate the sharps. The cutting assembly 2 includes a cutting member 21 and a mounting bracket 22. The mounting bracket 22 is disposed on the receiving member 1, and the cutting member 21 is disposed on the mounting bracket 22. The cutting member 21 rotates to separate the sharps. This collection device, through the integrated cutting component 2, allows medical personnel to complete the separation and collection of sharps in one step, significantly reducing the additional manual operations required in traditional methods. The integrated design enables medical personnel to process medical waste more quickly, thereby improving overall work efficiency, especially in emergencies, saving valuable time. By combining the cutting and collection functions, direct contact between medical personnel and sharps is reduced, lowering the risk of secondary puncture wounds. The cutting component 21 also ensures that sharps will not harm medical personnel during separation, thus improving the safety of the working environment. Furthermore, the medical sharps collection device 100 eliminates the need for medical personnel to use scissors or other tools for separation, simplifying the operation process. Compared to the traditional method of cutting with scissors, cutting efficiency is increased by more than 40%, greatly improving the efficiency of medical waste disposal.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cutting component 21 includes a cutting blade holder 211 and a blade holder base 221. The blade holder base 221 is mounted on the mounting bracket 22, and the cutting blade holder 211 is rotatably mounted on the blade holder base 221. The rotation of the cutting blade holder 211 separates sharp objects, making the cutting action more flexible. Medical personnel can adjust the cutting angle and force according to different types of sharp objects and specific operational needs, thereby achieving more efficient separation. This allows the device to adapt to various medical scenarios and handle sharp objects of different shapes and sizes. The separate design of the cutting blade holder 211 and the blade holder base 221 makes the device easier to clean and maintain after use.

[0022] The cutting blade holder 211 also includes a handle 212, which makes it easier for medical staff to control the rotation of the cutting blade holder 211 when using the cutting component 2. In addition, the handle 212 provides better grip and operating force, making the cutting process smoother and reducing operational errors caused by hand fatigue or slippage.

[0023] Furthermore, a cutting blade 213 is located in the center of the cutting blade holder 211. The cutting blade 213 makes the separation of sharp instruments more efficient. Located in the center of the cutting blade holder 211, the blade can directly align with the sharp instrument to be cut, ensuring the precision and effectiveness of the cutting action. It can quickly separate the needle from the tubing, reducing the operation time for medical personnel. The centered position of the blade makes the mechanical force during cutting more uniform, effectively reducing deviations during the cutting process.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the blade holder base 221 has a blade holder slot 222, within which the cutting blade holder 211 is disposed. The blade holder slot 222 of the blade holder base 221 provides a stable support structure for the cutting blade holder 211, ensuring that the cutting blade holder 211 remains in a fixed position during operation. This stability effectively reduces shaking during cutting, improving cutting accuracy and safety. The blade holder slot 222 also simplifies the installation and removal of the cutting blade holder 211. Medical personnel can quickly insert the cutting blade holder 211 into the slot or easily remove it when it needs to be replaced. This convenient operation reduces the workload of medical personnel and improves work efficiency. Furthermore, the blade holder slot 222 effectively prevents the cutting blade holder 211 from accidentally falling off or moving during use, reducing the risk of accidental injury due to blade instability. Medical personnel can operate with greater peace of mind, focusing on handling sharp instruments.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the medical sharps collection device 100 further includes an end cap 3, which is disposed on the upper edge of the receiving member 1, and a mounting bracket 22 is disposed on the end cap 3. The end cap 3 effectively seals the upper edge of the receiving member 1, preventing sharps from accidentally spilling or flying out during collection. This closed design reduces the risk of accidental injury to medical personnel when handling sharps, ensuring a safe working environment. The end cap 3 helps prevent external contaminants from entering the receiving member 1, maintaining a clean internal environment. The mounting bracket 22, disposed on the end cap 3, makes the operation of the cutting assembly 2 more convenient. Medical personnel can perform cutting operations at a fixed height and position, reducing the risk caused by improper operation. At the same time, the design of the end cap 3 provides additional support, ensuring the stability of the cutting assembly 2 during use.

[0026] The end cap 3 has a rotating part 31 and an opening 32. The mounting bracket 22 is mounted on the rotating part 31, which rotates to cover the opening 32. The rotating part 31 effectively controls the opening and closing of the opening 32, preventing sharp objects from accidentally spilling or flying out. By operating the rotating part 31, medical personnel can quickly open the opening 32 to separate and collect sharp objects when needed, and cover the opening 32 when not in use, reducing the risk of accidental injury. When closed, the rotating part 31 effectively isolates the external environment, ensuring the safety of medical personnel and patients. The combination of the rotating part 31 and the end cap 3 enhances the structural integrity of the entire device, ensuring that it is not easily deformed or damaged during use.

[0027] Furthermore, the rotating part 31 is provided with a groove 311; the cutting component 2 is located inside the end cap 3. The groove 311 can provide a space for the cutting component 2 to be placed, so that after the rotating part 31 of the end cap 3 rotates to cover the opening 32, the cutting component 2 no longer comes into contact with the outside world, does not need to be repeatedly disinfected, and does not need to be repeatedly used and disinfected like scissors, reducing the risk of cross-infection caused by tool contamination, and also reducing the medical costs and workload caused by disinfection operations.

[0028] The rotating part 31 is located in the middle of the end cap 3, so that the end cap 3 can provide stable support when the cutting assembly 2 rotates to cut. In addition, when the cutting assembly 2 rotates, it does not need to directly contact sharp tools such as scissors or discarded needles, achieving zero contact risk, effectively avoiding the occurrence of safety accidents such as secondary punctures, and fully protecting the personal safety of medical staff.

[0029] Furthermore, the area of ​​opening 32 occupies half the area of ​​end cap 3, providing sufficient functionality while ensuring safety. The appropriate size of opening 32 allows medical personnel to dispose of sharps more conveniently and quickly, reducing operation time and improving work efficiency. At the same time, the size of opening 32 can also effectively prevent accidental spillage of sharps during disposal, ensuring the safety of medical personnel.

[0030] Furthermore, the tool holder base 221 is disposed within the groove 311; the groove 311 provides better support and stability, ensuring that the tool holder base 221 will not shift or wobble during use, thereby improving the accuracy and safety of the cutting process and effectively reducing the risk of operational errors.

[0031] Furthermore, the blade holder base 221 is positioned in the center of the rotating part 31; this ensures that the cutting blade holder 211 maintains good balance during rotation, thereby improving cutting accuracy and ensuring effective separation of sharp objects. In addition, its central position in the rotating part 31 allows medical personnel to more intuitively control the rotation of the cutting blade holder 211 during operation. Through simple rotational movements, medical personnel can quickly separate sharp objects, simplifying the operation process and improving work efficiency.

[0032] The blade holder base 221 has a through hole 223 for sharp instruments to pass through. The through hole 223 ensures that the sharp instrument is accurately aligned with the cutting blade 213 during cutting, reducing the risk of incomplete or inaccurate cutting due to positional deviations and ensuring that the sharp instrument is cleanly and efficiently separated. The through hole 223 also allows the sharp instrument to fall directly into the container 1 after cutting, reducing contact between medical personnel and medical waste and ensuring the safety of medical personnel.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, both the groove 311 and the opening 32 are provided with seals 4 along their edges near the opening 32. The seals 4 effectively prevent external contaminants from entering the container 1, maintaining a clean internal environment. The seals 4 also effectively prevent the leakage of odors from medical waste. In a preferred embodiment, the receiving element 1 is a receiving container 11, with the cross-sectional area of ​​the top of the receiving container 11 being larger than that of the bottom. This allows the receiving container 11 to hold more medical waste, reducing the need for frequent replacements and improving work efficiency. The larger top opening 32 makes it easier for medical personnel to dispose of sharps, reducing operational inconvenience caused by limited space. This convenience is particularly important for the rapid disposal of sharps in emergency situations. The larger cross-sectional area at the top effectively prevents sharps from accidentally flying out during disposal, ensuring the safety of medical personnel. The smaller cross-sectional area at the bottom of the receiving container 11 helps improve overall stability, making it less prone to tipping over when placed, ensuring stability during use, and reducing the risk of accidental tipping.

[0034] In practical use, such as Figure 1 As shown, medical staff pass a needle with a tubing through the perforation 223 from the entrance of the end cap 3 and place the needle into the container 11 of the medical sharps collection device 100. At this time, the connection between the infusion set tubing and the needle is within the cutting range of the cutting blade 213.

[0035] When it is necessary to separate the infusion set and needle, medical staff manually press down on the external pressing handle 212 of the flip cover. The cutting assembly 2 transmits the force of the pressing handle 212 to the cutting blade 213, causing the cutting blade 213 to move along a preset trajectory, thereby completing the separation operation of the infusion set and needle. The cutting blade 213 cuts the connection between the infusion set tubing and the needle, and the needle falls into the container 11, while the infusion set tubing remains at the inlet of the end cap 3. When the container 11 is full of needles, the flip cover is closed. The sealing structure of the end cap 3 and the opening 32 forms a sealed device for the container 11, completing the safe storage of medical waste.
