Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical equipment technology, and in particular relates to a pollutant collection vehicle for hemodialysis rooms. Background Technology
[0002] Hemodialysis is an important treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease. As a high-risk medical facility, the hemodialysis room generates a large amount of medical waste containing pathogens, chemicals and sharps every day.
[0003] Traditional waste collection vehicles require medical staff to manually touch and open the lids of the waste containers. For example, Chinese utility model patent CN220360515U discloses a waste collection vehicle for hemodialysis rooms, including a vehicle body, a support frame, and a cloth bag. The cloth bag has an opening and is suspended from the support frame, which is connected to one side of the vehicle body. The support frame is rectangular and surrounds the opening of the bag. The support frame includes a frame rod and three frame plates, which are respectively located on the four sides of the support frame. The two ends of the frame rod are respectively connected to the two transverse frame plates on both sides. The device is equipped with a sliding groove and a movable plate on the support frame. The two ends of the movable plate move within the sliding grooves of the transverse frame plates on both sides, allowing the movable plate to move closer to and away from the longitudinal frame plates. Springs are installed at both ends of the movable plate, with the springs extending and retracting in the same direction as the movable plate's movement. A cover is connected between the movable plate and the frame rod, covering the bag opening. The cloth bag on the treatment cart can collect a large amount of medical waste during hemodialysis. After medical staff open the bag opening to dispose of medical waste, the bag opening can automatically close, preventing medical staff from forgetting to close the bag opening and causing medical waste to be exposed to the air, thus meeting hospital infection control requirements.
[0004] However, waste containers, especially the lids, can become contaminated with patient blood or waste chemicals from previous waste disposal procedures. When medical staff treat patients, they wear disposable gloves. Opening the lid contaminates the gloves, potentially transferring pathogens to the treatment equipment or the patient's skin, causing cross-infection. Therefore, medical staff must re-wear gloves and even disinfect their hands before proceeding with further treatment and care. Frequent glove changes and hand disinfection consume a significant amount of time, indirectly impacting the time available for direct patient care and reducing work efficiency. Therefore, to address these issues, a contaminant collection cart for hemodialysis units has been designed. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to enable the opening and closing of the cover without touching it by using a foot pedal to slide the slide rod downwards and a spring to slide the slide rod upwards. This solves the problem in the background art where medical staff have to use their hands to open the cover, causing their gloves to become contaminated. Medical staff then need to put on new gloves and even disinfect their hands before proceeding with further treatment and nursing procedures, which consumes a significant amount of their time and indirectly affects the time available for direct treatment and nursing care, thus reducing work efficiency.
[0006] The specific technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A contaminant collection vehicle for a hemodialysis unit includes a vehicle body with collection containers connected to its two side facades. Each collection container has an opening at the top and a cover. Connectors with shaft holes are located on opposite sides of the top of the collection containers. Shaft rods that mate with the shaft holes are located on both sides of the cover. The cover is rotatably connected to the collection containers via the shafts engaging with the shaft holes. The collection containers have several vertical through holes. Limiting sliding holes are located at the top and bottom of each through hole, with an inner diameter smaller than the through hole. These limiting sliding holes are located on the upper and lower surfaces of the collection containers. A sliding rod is slidably connected within the limiting sliding holes. A limiting element with a circular cross-section is fitted onto the sliding rod, its periphery fitting against the inner wall of the through hole. A spring is located between the limiting element and the limiting sliding hole. A foot pedal is located at the bottom of the sliding rod, and a transmission component with a hinge hole is located at the top of the sliding rod. A hinge rod mates with the hinge hole on the cover. The sliding rod is hinged to the cover via the engagement of the hinge hole and the hinge rod.
[0007] Furthermore, a pusher is provided on the top of the vehicle body, which is connected to the vehicle body via a connecting rod, and several casters are provided on the lower surface of the vehicle body.
[0008] Furthermore, the hand-push component has a circular cross-section, and several connecting rods are provided at the bottom of the hand-push component, with the bottom ends of the connecting rods fixedly connected to the upper surface of the vehicle body.
[0009] Furthermore, the front facade of the vehicle body has several recesses, in which storage units are slidably connected, and the storage units have upward-facing chambers.
[0010] Furthermore, the storage unit cavity is provided with a linear array of several partitions, with both ends of the partitions fixedly connected to the storage unit. The storage unit cavity is provided with several adjustment plates, which are perpendicular to the partitions and have several slots that are used with the partitions.
[0011] Furthermore, the front facade of the vehicle body is provided with a cabinet cavity, which is equipped with a cabinet door. The cabinet cavity and the cabinet door are rotatably connected, and a restraint strap is fixedly provided on the inner facade of the cabinet door. The two ends of the restraint strap are fixedly connected to the cabinet door respectively.
[0012] Furthermore, several hooks are provided on the side of the collection container near the vehicle body, and several hanging holes for use with the hooks are provided on both sides of the vehicle body, with the hanging holes arranged in a vertical array.
[0013] Furthermore, the side facade of the collection container is equipped with an observation window, which is made of transparent material.
[0014] Furthermore, a sealing groove is provided on the upper surface of the collection container and around the top opening, and a sealing strip is provided on the lower surface of the cover to match the sealing groove.
[0015] Furthermore, the lower surface of the collection container is provided with several guide holes, the upper surface of the foot pedal is provided with a guide rod that matches the guide holes, the frontal projection area of the foot pedal is larger than the bottom area of the collection container, and the upper surface of the foot pedal is provided with anti-slip texture.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: In use, medical staff press down on the pedal, which moves the sliding rod downwards, pulling the hinge rod. Due to the rotational connection between the cover and the collection container, the end of the cover away from the hinge rod moves away from the upper surface of the collection container, completing the opening operation. After the medical staff releases the pedal, the spring reverses, moving the sliding rod upwards. Through the hinge between the sliding rod and the transmission component, and the rotational connection between the cover and the collection container, the end of the cover away from the hinge rod moves away from the upper surface of the collection container, automatically closing the cover. The entire process does not require medical staff to touch the cover, avoiding hand contamination, reducing the risk of cross-infection, eliminating the need for frequent glove changes and hand disinfection, saving treatment and nursing time, and improving work efficiency.

Detailed Implementation
[0018] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0019] See Figures 1 to 7This embodiment discloses a contaminant collection vehicle for a hemodialysis unit, including a vehicle body 1. In this embodiment, the vehicle body 1 has a rectangular cross-section. Collection containers 2 are respectively connected to the two sides of the vehicle body 1. The top of the collection containers 2 is open, and a cover 3 is provided on the top of the collection containers 2. Connectors 21 are provided on the left and right sides of the top of the collection containers 2. It can be further optimized that the connectors 21 are located on the side closer to the vehicle body 1. The connectors 21 are provided with shaft holes 211. The left and right sides of the cover 3 are respectively provided with shafts 31 that are matched with the shaft holes 211. The cover 3 achieves a rotatable connection with the collection containers 2 through the shafts 31 and the shaft holes 211. The container 2 has several vertical through holes 22. Further optimization involves placing the through holes 22 near the side of the vehicle body 1 to facilitate the dumping of waste after the cover 3 is opened. Limiting sliding holes 221 are provided at the top and bottom of the through holes 22, with an inner diameter smaller than the through holes 22. The limiting sliding holes 221 are located on the upper and lower surfaces of the collection container 2, respectively. A sliding rod 4 is slidably connected within the limiting sliding hole 221, and a limiting member 41 is fitted onto the sliding rod 4. The limiting member 41 has a circular cross-section, and its periphery fits against the inner wall of the through hole 22. A spring 42 is provided between the limiting member 41 and the limiting sliding hole 221. In this embodiment, the limiting member 41 is shown in the lower table. A spring 42 is provided between the surface and the limiting sliding hole 221 located at the bottom. When the limiting member 41 moves downward, it applies a compressive force to the spring 42, and the spring 42 applies a reverse rebound force to the limiting member 41. A foot pedal 43 is provided at the bottom of the slide rod 4, and a transmission member 44 is provided at the top of the slide rod 4. The transmission member 44 is provided with a hinge hole 441. The cover 3 is provided with a hinge rod 32 that matches the hinge hole 441. In this embodiment, the cover 3 is provided with connecting ears opposite each other, and a hinge rod 32 is provided between the connecting ears. The slide rod 4 is hinged to the cover 3 through the cooperation of the hinge hole 441 and the hinge rod 32. When in use, medical staff press down on the foot pedal 43 with their feet. The sliding rod 4 drives the transmission component 44 to move downward. As the transmission component 44 moves downward, it pulls the hinge rod 32. Due to the rotational connection between the cover 3 and the collection container 2, the end of the cover 3 away from the hinge rod 32 leaves the upper surface of the collection container 2, completing the opening operation. After the medical staff releases the foot pedal 43, the sliding rod 4 moves upward under the reverse action of the spring 42. Through the transmission component 44, it pushes the hinge rod 32, and the rotational connection between the cover 3 and the collection container 2 causes the end of the cover 3 away from the hinge rod 32 to leave the upper surface of the collection container 2. The cover 3 automatically completes the closing operation. The medical staff do not need to touch the cover 3 by hand during the entire process.
[0020] The top of the vehicle body 1 is equipped with a pusher 5, which is connected to the vehicle body 1 via a connecting rod 51.

It can be further optimized that the casters are swivel casters with brakes, which improves the stability of the collection vehicle during use.
[0021] The pusher 5 has a circular cross-section, allowing medical staff to push the vehicle body 1 from multiple directions, thus improving its flexibility. The bottom of the pusher 5 is equipped with several connecting rods 51, the bottom of which are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the vehicle body 1. The projected area of the pusher 5 is larger than the projected area of the upper surface of the vehicle body 1, making it easier for medical staff to push the vehicle body 1.
[0022] The front facade of the vehicle body 1 has several recesses 11, and a storage unit 6 is slidably connected in the recesses 11. The storage unit 6 has an upward-facing chamber and is used to store nursing supplies.
[0023] The storage unit 6 has a linear array of several partitions 61 inside its chamber. The two ends of each partition 61 are fixedly connected to the storage unit 6. The storage unit 6 also has several adjustable plates 62 inside its chamber. The adjustable plates 62 are perpendicular to the partitions 61 to form several storage compartments. Each adjustable plate 62 has several slots 621 that are used with the partitions 61. The distance between two adjacent slots 621 is the same as the distance between two adjacent partitions 61. The adjustable plates 62 can adjust the distance between the adjustable plates 62 by cooperating with the partitions 61 through the slots 621, thereby adjusting the size of the storage compartments.
[0024] The front facade of the vehicle body 1 is provided with a cabinet cavity 12, and the cabinet cavity 12 is equipped with a cabinet door 121. The cabinet cavity 12 and the cabinet door 121 are rotatably connected. A restraint strap 1211 is fixedly provided on the inner facade of the cabinet door 121. The two ends of the restraint strap 1211 are fixedly connected to the cabinet door 121 respectively.

In this embodiment, there are two cabinet doors 121, which are located on both sides of the cabinet cavity 12 respectively, for covering the cabinet cavity 12. When the cabinet door 121 is opened, the storage bucket is moved out of the cabinet cavity 12; when the cabinet door 121 is closed, the storage bucket is moved into the cabinet cavity 12 and hidden.
[0025] Several hooks 24 are provided on the side of the collection container 2 near the vehicle body 1. In this embodiment, several hooks 24 are arranged in pairs facing each other and vertically arrayed on the rear side of the collection container 2. Several hanging holes 13 for use with the hooks 24 are provided on the two sides of the vehicle body 1. The hanging holes 13 are vertically arrayed and the hanging height of the collection container 2 can be adjusted through the vertically arrayed hanging holes 13.
[0026] The side facade of the collection container 2 is provided with an observation window 25. The observation window 25 is made of transparent material.

[0027] A sealing groove 23 is provided on the upper surface of the collection container 2 and around the top opening. A sealing strip 33 is provided on the lower surface of the cover 3 to match the sealing groove 23. Through the cooperation of the sealing strip 33 and the sealing groove 23, when the cover 3 is placed on the collection container 2 and the collection vehicle is pushed, the liquid contaminants in the collection container 2 can be prevented from splashing out of the collection container 2 through the cooperation of the sealing strip 33 and the sealing groove 23.
[0028] The lower surface of the collection container 2 is provided with several guide holes 26, and the upper surface of the pedal 43 is provided with a guide rod 45 that matches the guide holes 26. The sliding cooperation between the guide rod 45 and the guide hole 26 improves the stability of the pedal 43 when it moves up and down. The projected area of the pedal 43 is larger than the bottom area of the collection container 2. The upper surface of the pedal 43 is provided with anti-slip texture to facilitate the pressing operation.
[0029] Working principle: When in use, medical staff press down on the foot pedal 43, which drives the transmission component 44 to move downward through the slide rod 4. At the same time, the transmission component 44 pulls the hinge rod 32. Due to the rotational connection between the cover 3 and the collection container 2, the end of the cover 3 away from the hinge rod 32 leaves the upper surface of the collection container 2, completing the opening operation. After the medical staff releases the foot pedal 43, the slide rod 4 moves upward under the reverse action of the spring 42. Through the transmission component 44, the hinge rod 32 is pushed, and the rotational connection between the cover 3 and the collection container 2 causes the end of the cover 3 away from the hinge rod 32 to leave the upper surface of the collection container 2, and the cover 3 automatically completes the closing operation. The medical staff do not need to touch the cover 3 by hand during the entire process.
[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto.
