Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medical waste treatment technology, and in particular to an intelligent medical waste transfer system and method. Background Technology

[0002] Medical waste delivered to the waste incineration plant is unloaded manually or using forklifts. Empty containers are also loaded manually. Medical waste transfer boxes are opened manually, and the medical waste inside is emptied into the feeding port. The empty boxes and lids are then manually stacked. After emptying, the transfer boxes need to undergo cleaning, disinfection, settling, and drying before being loaded onto trucks. This process is labor-intensive for workers, with a high risk of secondary infection. The lack of intelligent handling systems and the monotonous, procedural operation, with at least hundreds of boxes needing to be opened, emptied, and stacked every hour, presents a typical labor-intensive task. The lack of intelligent auxiliary facilities and insufficient space and personnel mean that many transfer boxes lack relevant procedures or are handled entirely manually, posing a risk of infection.

It should be understood that the embodiments of this application and the specific features in the embodiments are detailed descriptions of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, rather than limitations on the technical solutions of this application. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of this application and the technical features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0063] like Figure 1-2As shown, a first aspect of the embodiments of this application proposes an intelligent medical waste transfer system, comprising: a transfer unit 100, the transfer unit 100 including a material handling component 110 and a first conveying section 120, the material handling component 110 being used to transfer turnover boxes from inside the carriage to the first conveying section 120; an unloading unit 200, the unloading unit 200 including a cover opening component 210, a feeding component 220 and a waste grabber 230; the cover opening component 210 being used to grip the cover of a turnover box traveling in the first conveying section 120, the feeding component 220 being used to grip the uncovered turnover box and feed the medical waste inside into the waste grabber 230; and a disinfection unit 300, the disinfection unit 300 including... The system comprises a second conveying section 310, a third conveying section 320, and a disinfection component 330. The second conveying section 310 conveys the lids of the boxes that are gripped by the lid-opening component 210. The third conveying section 320 conveys empty boxes that have been filled with materials. The disinfection component 330 disinfects the lids and empty boxes traveling on the second and third conveying sections 310 and 320. A stacking section 400 stacks the lids and boxes of the turnover boxes on the second and third conveying sections 310 and 320 after disinfection, and transfers the stacked lids and boxes to the return conveying section. The transfer section 100 also transports the turnover boxes back from the return conveying section to the carriage.

[0064] The intelligent medical waste transfer system provided in this application includes: a transfer section 100, an unloading section 200, a disinfection section 300, and a palletizing section 400. The transfer section 100 includes a material handling component 110 and a first conveying section 120. The material handling component 110 is used to transport the turnover boxes from the carriage to the first conveying section 120. The unloading section 200 includes a lid opening component 210, a feeding component 220, and a waste grabber 230. The lid opening component 210 is used to open the turnover boxes traveling in the first conveying section 120 to allow for subsequent material feeding. The feeding component 220 is used to grip the opened turnover boxes and feed the medical waste inside into the waste grabber 230. The disinfection section 300 includes a second conveying section 310, a third conveying section 320, and a disinfection component 330. The lids removed by the lid opening component 210 are transferred from the first conveying section 120 to the second conveying section 310. Empty turnover boxes that have been fed are transported through the first conveying section 120... The waste is transferred from the first conveyor section 120 to the third conveyor section 320. The disinfection component 330 disinfects the lids and empty containers traveling in the disinfection section 300. The stacking section 400 is located downstream of the disinfection section 300 and stacks the disinfected lids and containers traveling in the second conveyor section 310 and the third conveyor section 320. The stacked lids and containers are then transferred to the return conveyor section. The end of the return conveyor section and the beginning of the first conveyor section 120 are both adjacent to the transfer section 100. After the stacked lids and containers return to the end of the return conveyor section, the material handling component 110 of the transfer section 100 transports the materials on the return conveyor section back to the carriage. This technical solution solves the problem of unloading, transferring, opening, feeding, cleaning, disinfecting, stacking, and loading of medical waste turnover boxes. The entire process is automated, using intelligent equipment to replace manual operation, improving the intelligence level of medical waste transfer. Automated operation can avoid the risk of secondary infection for operators.

[0065] like Figure 1 As shown, the material handling assembly 110 includes: a lifting platform for docking with the interior of the carriage; a telescopic conveyor section for connecting the lifting platform and the first conveyor section 120; a material handling robotic arm for transferring materials between the carriage and the telescopic conveyor section; and an identification component for identifying the stacking shape of the turnover boxes, the identification component being data-connected to the material handling robotic arm.

[0066] In this technical solution, the material handling assembly 110 includes a lifting platform, a telescopic conveyor section, a material handling robotic arm, and an identification component. In actual use, the lifting platform is adjusted to a height corresponding to the carriage. During the adjustment of the lifting platform, the telescopic conveyor section extends and retracts with the lifting platform, ensuring that the telescopic conveyor section can connect the lifting platform and the first conveyor section 120. The identification component identifies the stacking shape of the material boxes in the carriage, and the material handling robotic arm picks up the materials according to the identification result, moving the turnover boxes from the carriage to the telescopic conveyor section, and then transferring the materials to the first conveyor section 120 through the telescopic conveyor section. After the turnover boxes undergo unloading, disinfection, and stacking, when they travel through the return conveyor section to the telescopic conveyor section, the material handling robotic arm moves the stacked materials back to the carriage.

[0067] like Figure 1 As shown, the disinfection unit 300 further includes: a cleaning component for cleaning the lid and body of the box, the cleaning component being disposed on the inlet side of the disinfection component 330; and a drying component 340 for drying the disinfected lid and body of the box, the drying component 340 being disposed on the outlet side of the disinfection component 330.

[0068] In this technical solution, the disinfection unit 300 also includes a cleaning component and a drying component 340. The lid and body of the container, which are traveling through the second conveying section 310 and the third conveying section 320 respectively, enter the cleaning component for cleaning, then enter the disinfection component 330 for disinfection, and finally enter the drying component 340 for drying. In addition to disinfection, this technical solution adds cleaning and drying functions, which can more thoroughly disinfect and clean the turnover box, effectively avoid pollution caused by residual medical waste inside the turnover box, and ensure medical safety.

[0069] like Figure 1 As shown, the second conveying section is a vertical conveying section, and the lid opening assembly 210 keeps the lid upright when placing it in the second conveying section.

[0070] In this technical solution, the second conveying section is a vertical transport section. Vertical disinfection can ensure that the contact area between the box cover and the second conveying section is smaller and the disinfection area is larger, so as to achieve a better disinfection effect. In some embodiments, the second conveying section can keep the box cover vertical by setting grooves or clamps.

[0071] like Figure 1 As shown, the palletizing section 400 includes a cover pusher assembly 410, which is used to change the box cover, which is in an upright position, to a flat position.

[0072] In this technical solution, the palletizing unit 400 includes a cover-pushing assembly 410, which is used to change the box cover, which is in an upright position, to a flat position, so as to facilitate the subsequent palletizing of the box cover.

[0073] like Figure 1 As shown, the palletizing unit 400 further includes: a lid palletizing assembly 420, which is used to palletize lids; and a body palletizing assembly 430, which is used to palletize bodies.

[0074] In this technical solution, the palletizing unit 400 also includes a lid palletizing assembly 420 and a box body palletizing assembly 430, which respectively palletize the lids and boxes and transport the stacked lids and boxes to the return conveying section. It can be understood that the stacked lids and boxes are arranged alternately in the return conveying section for easy subsequent retrieval.

[0075] like Figure 2 As shown, the garbage grab 230 includes: a grab body 231, which is a claw-shaped device with the claw tip pointing downwards; a grab chute 232, which is disposed on both sides of each claw flap of the grab body 231; and a feed inlet, which is opened on the grab body 231.

[0076] In this technical solution, the garbage grab 230 includes a grab body 231, a grab chute 232, and a feed inlet. The grab body 231 is a claw-shaped device with the claw tips pointing downwards. The grab chute 232 is located on both sides of each claw flap of the grab body 231. When the grab body 231 is closed, the adjacent grab chute 232s come together to form a scoop-shaped garbage holding space. This technical solution forms a garbage holding space when the claw flaps come together. When the garbage is full, the garbage grab 230 is transferred to the top of the incineration port, and the claw flaps open to complete the garbage dumping. Compared with the traditional garbage dumping method, the garbage grab 230 can complete the dumping without flipping, and there is less garbage residue.

[0077] like Figure 3 As shown, according to a second aspect of the embodiments of this application, a method for intelligent transportation of medical waste is proposed, which is applied to any of the above-mentioned intelligent medical waste transportation systems. The method for intelligent transportation of medical waste includes:

[0078] Step 101: Unload the car body through the transfer area and transfer the turnover boxes inside the car body to the first conveying section;

[0079] Step 102: During the process of the turnover box traveling in the first conveying section, the turnover box is opened through the unloading part and the turnover box cover is placed in the second conveying section;

[0080] Step 103: Unload the box in the open state through the unloading section and place the unloaded turnover box in the third conveying section;

[0081] Step 104: The lid and body of the turnover box are disinfected by the disinfection department;

[0082] Step 105: Stack the disinfected container lids and containers separately through the palletizing section;

[0083] Step 106: Move the stacked box lids and boxes to the waiting carriage via the transfer station.

[0084] The intelligent medical waste transportation method provided in this application involves transferring the turnover box to the first conveying section via a transfer unit, unloading and discharging at the unloading unit, disinfecting the turnover box at the disinfection unit, stacking it at the stacking unit, and then transferring the stacked box lids and bodies to the carriage by the transfer unit, thus completing the treatment of the medical waste turnover box. This method relies on an intelligent medical waste transportation system, which can realize intelligent medical waste treatment, reduce the workload of staff, and reduce the risk of infection during the medical waste treatment process.

[0085] The steps of unloading the carriage through the transfer area and transferring the turnover boxes inside the carriage to the first conveying section include: connecting the transfer unit and the carriage through a lifting platform; identifying the stacking shape of the turnover boxes through an identification component; picking up a stack of turnover boxes with a picking robotic arm; splitting the picked-up stack of turnover boxes into individual turnover boxes with the picking robotic arm; placing the individual turnover boxes in the telescopic conveying section; and conveying the individual turnover boxes to the first conveying section through the telescopic conveying section. After all the picked-up stack of turnover boxes has been split into individual turnover boxes and transferred to the telescopic conveying section, picking up another stack of turnover boxes with the picking robotic arm until the number of turnover boxes remaining inside the carriage is zero.

[0086] In this technical solution, the transfer section unloads the cargo compartment, breaks down the stacked turnover boxes inside the compartment into individual turnover boxes, and connects the individual turnover boxes to the first conveyor section through the telescopic conveyor section, so that no manual handling is required during the unloading process of the cargo compartment.

[0087] The steps of unloading the container in the open state through the unloading section and placing the unloaded container in the third conveying section include: feeding the medical waste inside the container into the inlet of the garbage grab bucket through the feeding component until the upper limit of the garbage grab bucket's load is reached; controlling the garbage grab bucket to transfer to the inlet of the incinerator through the central control system after reaching the upper limit of the load; controlling the opening of the claws of the garbage grab bucket through the central control system to pour the medical waste inside the grab bucket into the incinerator; and controlling the closing of the garbage grab bucket through the central control system and transferring it back to the feeding component.

[0088] In this technical solution, medical waste is transferred from the unloading section to the incinerator by controlling the garbage grab bucket. Compared with directly dumping the waste into the incinerator, this technical solution allows for greater flexibility in the relative positions of the unloading section and the incinerator, which can be set according to the specific conditions of the factory without having to place them close together. At the same time, the incinerator is kept away from the intelligent medical waste transfer system, which can avoid the high temperature and dust caused by incineration affecting the service life of the system.
