Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a medical waste treatment device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When collecting used medical needles, absorbent cotton, gauze and other medical waste, it is not possible to use a synthetic resin container that can be sealed with a lid so as not to be contaminated by pathogenic bacteria adhering to the medical waste. , For example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 4-31701.

[0003]

However, at the stage of collecting medical waste, the container body is often kept open in order to avoid the trouble of opening the lid each time it is loaded. However, there is a problem that a bad odor may be emitted from the waste.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and at the stage of collecting medical waste, it is easy to put in, but no bad odor is emitted, and at the stage of discarding, it depends on the waste. An object of the present invention is to provide a medical waste treatment device which does not cause pollution.

[0005]

According to the medical waste treatment apparatus of the present invention, a lid support member rotatably attached to the upper end of a column standing on a container mounting table is attachable to and detachable from the lid. The upper end of the connecting rod pivotally attached to the swing rod having the pedal fixed to the front end is rotatably engaged with the lid support member, and the pedal is depressed to depress the container main body. The lid that closes the opening is opened, and the lid removed from the lid support member seals the container body.

The shape of the container mounting table used in the medical waste treatment apparatus of the present invention is not particularly limited. For example, the supporting leg, the container body fixing frame, and the lid supporting member are pivotally mounted on the upper end. One of them is a strut that is worn. The supporting legs are preferably wider than the container body so that the container body can be stably placed so as not to fall over easily.

The material of the lid supporting member used in the medical waste treatment apparatus of the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it has sufficient strength to support and open / close the lid, and for example, stainless steel, Examples include metals such as aluminum, polypropylene, and hard synthetic resins such as acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer. Further, the shape thereof is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a generally U-shaped body, two tongue pieces projectingly fitted into the lid body, and a pot metal object.

The shape of the connecting rod used in the medical waste treatment apparatus of the present invention is not particularly limited, and may be cylindrical or plate-like.
Either may be used. In addition, the mechanism may be configured such that the pedal is stepped down to push up the front side of the support shaft of the lid, or the mechanism may be pulled down rearward of the support shaft of the lid. In the latter case, the swinging rod pivotally attached to the connecting rod must be divided into two parts, the front and rear, and the swinging rods need to be pivotally attached to the container mounting table and to each other.

The material of the container body and the lid used in the medical waste treatment apparatus of the present invention is not particularly limited.
Thermoplastic resins such as polypropylene which can be incinerated together with medical waste and which are rich in elasticity are mentioned.

The mechanism for sealing the container body and the lid is
There is no particular limitation, and for example, a concave groove may be provided around the entire peripheral edge of the lid, and the opening edge of the container body may be inserted into the concave groove. In addition, in order to improve the degree of sealing, circumferential ridges are provided around the outer wall inner surface tip of the concave groove of the lid and the opening edge outer surface tip of the container body, and the ridges are engaged with each other when the lid is closed. You may do it.

The shape of the ridges provided upright on the upper surface of the lid is not particularly limited, and may be plate-like or cylindrical, but the latter reinforces the lid. This is preferable because it can prevent deformation.

[0012]

According to the medical waste treatment apparatus of the present invention, the lid supporting member rotatably attached to the upper end of the column standing on the container mounting table is detachably attached to the lid, and the front end is An upper end of a connecting rod pivotally attached to a swinging rod to which a pedal is fixed is rotatably engaged with the lid supporting member, and the pedal is depressed to close the opening of the container body. The lid body is designed to be opened, and the lid body removed from the lid body supporting member seals the container body. It is closed by the lid, and it is opened only when the waste is input, and at the disposal stage of medical waste,
It can be sealed by the lid.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a perspective view showing a closed state of an example of the medical waste treatment apparatus of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the opened state of FIG. 1,
FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view showing a method of attaching the lid body of FIG. 1 to the container mounting table.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a polypropylene substantially rectangular tube-shaped container main body, around the opening edge 11 of which is a hand-held brim.
12 are laid out. Reference numeral 2 is a polypropylene lid, and a groove 21 is provided around the entire periphery thereof.

On the rear side of the lid body 2, a rectangular tubular projection 22 which is opened vertically is projected, and the left and right side walls of the projection 22 are
A circular through hole 23 is provided. Also, on the upper surface of the lid body 2,
A substantially rectangular tubular ridge 24 is provided upright, and two flat rectangular through holes 25 are formed in the rear portion of the ridge 24.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a container mounting base made of a synthetic resin-coated metal tube, and a set of two downwardly-opening substantially U-shaped support legs 31 and 2 is provided.
It is composed of a set of columns 32 and a container body fixing frame 33, and the supporting legs 31 are connected to each other by a plate-like body 34.

A circular rod-shaped support shaft 35 is provided on the upper end of the support column 32, and a substantially U-shaped lid support member 4 is rotatably attached to the support shaft 35. Two tongue pieces from the lid supporting member 4
41 is projected to the front. Between the tongue pieces 41, a rectangular through hole 42 into which the projection 22 of the lid 2 is fitted is bored, and a circular through hole 44 is bored on one short side of the through hole 42. Piece 43 is bent.

The support column 32 is bent forward at the lower end to form a horizontal rod portion for supporting the container body, and then is erected upward and extended outward in a substantially U-shape to form a lower frame 36. In addition, the container main body fixing frame 33 is formed together with the upper frame 37, which has a generally U-shaped overall downward opening and is erected on the supporting leg 31, and the lateral rod portion of which extends rearward.
