Sanitary napkin collection box

The present invention relates to a sanitary napkin collection box, and more particularly, to a sanitary napkin collection box that is provided and used in a public toilet for women to facilitate sanitary disposal of the waste sanitary napkin, thereby maintaining a more pleasant internal environment of the public toilet. It's about the bin.

In general, public toilets provided at rest areas on highways, schools, hospitals, etc. are used separately for men and women. In particular, toilet booths (fecal compartments) contain trash cans that can be thrown away after using toilet paper, toilet paper dispensers, and shelves. It is provided for convenience.

Recently, after using toilet paper, it has been revised so that the toilet paper can be immediately flushed and used, and the enforcement of the removal of the trash can has been carried out in accordance with the Enforcement Decree of the Public Toilet Act from January 1, 2018.

In order to properly process and collect the waste sanitary napkins that are normally used and discarded by women, in particular, women's hygiene product collection boxes (hereinafter referred to as sanitary napkin collection boxes) are installed in women-only public restrooms, and collection is performed exclusively for waste sanitary napkins.

The seafarer technology related to the existing sanitary napkin collection box mostly relied on the collection box to collect the used waste sanitary napkins, and these collection boxes cannot solve the fundamental odor (odor leaking), and especially the toilet management cleaner opens the collection box, In the process of collecting the collected waste sanitary napkins, a secondary odor is eventually generated, so not only air pollution caused by the collection of the waste sanitary napkins, but also pests gather, so the hygienic part of public toilets used by unspecified people is always pointed out and comfortable toilets There was a problem that could not be maintained inside.

In order to solve this problem, the present applicant has applied and registered in Korea as Patent Registration No. 10-2028276 (name: sanitary napkin collection box, registration date: September 26, 2019, hereinafter referred to as 'patent literature'). .

As shown in the accompanying FIGS. 1 and 2, in the patent document, an inlet 11 equipped with a detection sensor 11-1 for detecting the input of a waste sanitary napkin (S) or an object is provided on the upper surface, and on the front surface A first opening door 13 provided with a locking part 12 is provided, and a main body 10 having a second opening door 14 on the side thereof, and a first rotating shaft rotatably provided inside the main body 10 . (20) and a second rotation shaft 30, a roll-shaped first wrap W1 mounted on the first rotation shaft 20, and a roll-type second wrap mounted on the second rotation shaft 30 ( W2) and the sanitary napkin (S) is closed by pulling it while being attached to the unfolded side of the first wrap (W1) and the second wrap (W2) so as to be rotatably installed horizontally in the main body (10). Gear parts 41 are integrally formed on both sides so as to be packaged and transported, and an arch part 42 for passing the waste sanitary napkin S having a thickness between the gear parts 41 of the first gear shaft 40 is provided. A recessed first gear shaft 40 and a gear part 51 installed on a horizontal line together with the first gear shaft 40 and engaged with the gear part 41 of the first gear shaft 40 on both sides A second gear shaft 50 formed thereon, a driving gear 62 provided on the rotary shaft 61, and a driving motor 60 meshed with the first gear shaft 40 to rotate the first gear shaft; a pressure roller 70 installed parallel to the upper part of the first gear shaft 40 to closely press and transfer the waste sanitary napkin S between the first wrap W1 and the second wrap W2; A rectangular body with an open top to contain the waste sanitary napkin (S) that is seated inside the body through the opening door 14 and is packaged and pulled out between the first gear shaft 40 and the second gear shaft 50. A sanitary napkin collection box is formed including a collection box 80 in which a groove 81 is formed on the upper side, and a blade 82 for cutting a lap is embedded at one side of the groove 81 at an angle.

According to the use of the sanitary napkin collection box as described above, the waste sanitary napkin is sealed and packaged between the first and second wraps by detecting the input of the waste sanitary napkin, operating the driving motor, and transferring the first and second wraps. By allowing the sanitary napkins to be collected in the collection box, the most problematic odor part of the waste sanitary napkins can be solved, and even when the sanitation service is collected, the sanitary napkins can be collected and processed while blocking the occurrence of odors. have

However, as the sanitary napkin is inserted in the sanitary napkin collection box, the following problems occur.

Unlike sanitary napkins attached to panties, waste sanitary napkins cause contamination of the inlet of the collection box when a tampon that is directly inserted into the body is inserted.

The tampon-type sanitary napkin is a product in which a hand-held string is hung on an absorbent body having a round bar shape to absorb menstrual blood by inserting it into the vagina during menstruation.

Since the absorbent hanging on the string shakes in a way that handles the absorbent by grabbing the string and pulling it, menstrual blood stains the inlet of the collection box, and the inlet is easily contaminated. Accordingly, it gives aesthetic discomfort to the next user and causes odor.

Also, when the sanitary napkin is stacked on both sides and the first gear shaft and the second gear shaft pass through the waste sanitary napkin, the edges of the first and second wraps supplied according to the folded thickness of the sanitary napkin do not match well. The sealing of the edges of the first and second wraps bitten by the first gear shaft and the second gear shaft is not uniform, so there is a problem in that the weak sealing part is opened in the process of collecting the waste sanitary napkin from the collection box, and the smell is leaked.

In addition, in the collection box as described above, it is inconvenient to use the width of the first wrap and the second wrap separately to be used for sealing, and the first gear shaft has to form a separate arch to pass the waste sanitary napkin. It requires a manufacturing design.
