Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical devices, and in particular to a sharps box with a cutting function. Background Technology
[0002] Sharps containers are essential for hospitals when disposing of medical waste. They are mainly used to collect sharps such as syringes, infusion sets, needles for disposable items, blades, suture needles, ampoules, and glass. For example, intravenous needles are used clinically, but they are always connected to tubing when being collected. If the tubing and needle are thrown in directly, it will take up a lot of space. Therefore, during the collection process, the sharp needle part needs to be separated from the connected tubing and other structures.
[0003] Currently, the common practice for separating sharp objects from other structures is through physical breaking or cutting with scissors. This process is inconvenient, and the severed needles often fall outside the sharp object container, causing environmental pollution. Furthermore, the needles can easily injure the operator or others, contaminate scissors and tweezers, and pose a risk of injury and even disease transmission, making it unsafe.
[0004] Therefore, there is a need for a sharps box with a cutting function, which facilitates the separation of sharps from other structures and their direct placement in the box. It also ensures proper storage of scissors, preventing sharps and contaminated scissors from polluting the environment or injuring operators or others, thereby improving safety. Utility Model Content

The box body 1 and the cover body 3 are designed to be detachable, making installation and disassembly simple and convenient. The cover body 3 and the scissors 4 installed on the cover body 3 can be removed for disinfection and reuse. The cover 3 is provided with a scissor clearance opening 31 and a second delivery opening 32. The second delivery opening 32 is located directly above the first delivery opening 11, and the first delivery opening 11 is larger than the second delivery opening 32, so as to facilitate the delivery of sharp objects and the direct insertion of sharp objects into the box 1 after separation, thus preventing sharp objects from falling out of the box 1.
[0023] In a specific embodiment, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The second dispensing port 32 includes a first opening 321 and a second opening 322. The first opening 321 is arc-shaped, and the second opening 322 is V-shaped. The second opening 322 gradually increases in size towards the first opening 321 and connects with the first opening 321. The first opening 321 and the second opening 322 are connected by an arc-shaped transition. The design of the second dispensing port 32 is suitable for dispensing various sharp objects. The first opening 321 is larger, which is convenient for dispensing large sharp objects such as blades, ampoules, and glass, as well as for dispensing sharp objects to be separated using scissors 4. The second opening 322 is smaller, which is convenient for holding the syringe needle and pulling out the syringe needle, making it highly practical.
[0024] refer to Figures 2 to 4 The scissors 4 include two scissor arms 41 and two handles 42. The two scissor arms 41 are mounted on the lower surface of the cover 3 by fasteners 43.

For details, please refer to... Figure 7 When the box turntable 22 rotates to the state where the second fixing part 221 abuts against the other side of the fixing plate 21, the first dispensing port 11 is fully open; Figure 8 This shows the state where the first dispensing port 11 is partially open during the rotation of the turntable 22 of the box; Reference Figure 9 When the turntable 22 rotates to the state where the second fixing part 221 abuts against the first fixing part 211, the first delivery port 11 is closed to prevent environmental pollution and sharp objects from falling out of the sharp object box and causing injury to the operator or others.
[0028] The following describes the specific usage process of the sharps box with cutting function proposed in this application.
[0029] In use, rotate the turntable 22 of the box body so that the second fixing part 221 rotates towards the other side of the fixing plate 21 until the second fixing part 221 abuts against the other side of the fixing plate 21, and the first dispensing port 11 is fully open to allow sharp objects to be placed into the box body 1. Install the scissors 4 on the lower surface of the lid 3 via the fixing member 43, and then place the lid 3 on top of the box body 1 so that the second dispensing port 32 is directly above the first dispensing port 11. Secure the box body 1 and the lid 3 with the buckle 12 and the locking plate 34. Rotate the lid turntable 5 to open the second dispensing port 32.
[0030] When the sharp object being placed is a large object such as a blade, suture needle, ampoule, or glass, it can be directly placed into the box 1 through the first opening 321 and the first placement port 11. When the sharp object being placed is an infusion set needle, the needle and part of the infusion tubing are placed below the first opening 321, and the infusion tubing is cut with scissors 4. The needle of the infusion set falls directly into the box 1, making separation convenient. Moreover, when using scissors 4, the handle 42 can be rotated to be perpendicular to the upper surface of the cover 3, and the handle 42 abuts against the limiting part 46 to increase the contact area between the handle 42 and the hand, making cutting easier. When the sharp object being placed is a syringe needle, the syringe needle is inserted into the second opening 322 and pulled out, so that the needle falls directly into the box 1, making it simple to use.
[0031] When the sharps container expires or is full, separate the card plate 34 and the buckle 12 to remove the cover 3 and scissors 4. The scissors 4 can also be removed from the cover 3 for disinfection and reuse, and then installed in the next sharps container. At the same time, rotate the container turntable 22 so that the second fixing part 221 rotates toward the first fixing part 211 on one side of the fixing plate 21 until the second fixing part 221 abuts against the first fixing part 211, thus fixing the second fixing part 221 to the first fixing part 211 and sealing the first dispensing port 11 to prevent sharps from falling out of the container 1.
