[0050] Referring to Figures 2-4 , a plurality of first grooves 14 for accommodating the pulling hooks 3 are vertically arranged on the first accommodating cavity 11, which reduces the obstruction to the medical waste in the garbage bag caused by the pulling hooks 3 in the first accommodating cavity 11 during use of the garbage can or the damage to the garbage bag. The first grooves 14 correspond to the pulling hooks 3 one by one, and a second groove 15 for accommodating the bag opening edge of the garbage bag is arranged on the first accommodating cavity 11, so that the bag opening of the garbage bag in the first accommodating cavity 11 is in a completely open state, so that the medical waste put into the first accommodating cavity 11 can all fall into the garbage bag, reducing the risk of the medical waste directly falling into the first accommodating cavity 11 from the gap between the bag opening of the garbage bag and the barrel body 1. The second groove 15 is annular and communicates with the first groove 14, and the second groove 15 is located above the heat sealing assembly 7.

[0051] Referring to Figures 4-8 , the lifting mechanism 4 includes a lifting ring 41 and four pulling units 42. The lifting ring 41 is slidingly arranged on the barrel body 1, and the lifting ring 41 is provided with four connecting seats 43 corresponding to the pulling hooks 3 one by one. The pulling hooks 3 are rotatably arranged on the connecting seats 43. The pulling unit 42 includes a pulling line 44, a first pulley 45, a second pulley 46, and a take-up wheel 47. The pulling line 44 is sequentially wound on the first pulley 45, the second pulley 46, and the take-up wheel 47, and the two ends of the pulling line 44 are fixed on the lifting ring 41 and the take-up wheel 47, respectively. The first pulley 45 is rotatably arranged on the top of the barrel body 1. The second pulley 46 and the take-up wheel 47 are rotatably arranged on the bottom of the barrel body 1. The adjacent take-up wheels 47 are drivingly connected through bevel gear transmission mechanisms. The barrel body 1 is provided with a first motor 48 for driving any one of the take-up wheels 47 to rotate.

[0052] In use, through the driving effect of the first motor 48 and the transmission effect of the bevel gear transmission mechanism, the winding wheels 47 are synchronously rotated and the pulling lines 44 are synchronously wound or unwound, combined with the guiding effect of the first pulley 45 and the second pulley 46 on the pulling lines 44, thereby realizing the vertical linear movement of the lifting ring 41 on the barrel 1, so that the lifting ring 41 drives the pulling hook 3 to move together, combined with the transmission effect of the first transmission mechanism 5, the purpose of rotating the pulling hook 3 in the vertical linear movement is achieved, the butt joint of the pulling hook 3 and the garbage bag (i.e. the hook jaw end 31 of the pulling hook 3 is inserted into the hook sleeve of the garbage bag) is realized, thereby realizing the opening of the garbage bag opening while lifting the garbage bag opening upward.

[0053] The second pulley 46 and the winding wheel 47 are provided with an adjusting mechanism 49, the adjusting mechanism 49 includes a sliding seat 491 and a roller 492, the sliding seat 491 is slidingly arranged on the barrel 1, a through hole 493 for the pulling line 44 to pass through is formed on the top surface of the sliding seat 491, a protrusion 494 is arranged on the bottom surface of the sliding seat 491, the roller 492 is rotatably arranged on the barrel 1, two screw grooves 495 for the protrusion 494 to slide are formed on the roller 492, the two screw grooves 495 have the same pitch and opposite rotation directions, and the roller 492 and the winding wheel 47 are drivingly connected through a gear transmission mechanism.

[0054] When the winding wheel 47 rotates, the roller 492 is driven to rotate through the gear transmission mechanism, so that the sliding seat 491 is driven to move horizontally and linearly along the axial direction of the winding wheel 47 through the two screw grooves 495, the pulling line 44 is wound on the winding wheel 47 circle by circle, and the stability of the vertical movement of the lifting ring 41 is ensured.

[0055] The first transmission mechanism 5 includes a guide rail 51 and a driving gear 52, the guide rail 51 is fixed on the barrel 1 and penetrates through the connecting seat 43, the driving gear 52 is rotatably arranged on the connecting seat 43, the top and bottom of the guide rail 51 are respectively provided with a first rack 53 and a second rack 54 capable of being engaged with the driving gear 52, and the driving gear 52 is drivingly connected with the pulling hook 3 through a bevel gear transmission mechanism and a worm gear transmission mechanism in sequence.

[0056] During the vertical upward linear movement of the lifting ring 41, the driving gear 52 on the connecting seat 43 can be engaged with the second rack 54 and the first rack 53 in sequence, and the pulling hook 3 is driven to rotate relative to the barrel 1 through the bevel gear transmission mechanism and the worm gear transmission mechanism in sequence, and due to the self-locking effect of the worm gear transmission mechanism, the stability of the rotating position of the pulling hook 3 after rotating relative to the barrel 1 is ensured.

[0057] When the driving gear 52 and the second rack 54 are in contact and in the process of mutual engagement, the pulling hook 3 rotates inward relative to the barrel 1, so that the hook end 31 of the pulling hook 3 is in the same vertical line with the corresponding hook sleeve on the garbage bag (i.e. the pulling hook 3 is in a horizontal state), and then in the process of the lifting ring 41 continuing to move vertically upward, the hook end 31 is inserted into the corresponding hook sleeve, thereby driving the garbage bag to move vertically upward, and when the driving gear 52 and the first rack 53 are in contact and in the process of mutual engagement, the pulling hook 3 rotates outward relative to the barrel 1, so that the bag opening of the garbage bag is unfolded under the pulling of the pulling hook 3 until the pulling hook 3 is in a vertical state, at this time the medical waste put into the first containing cavity 11 can directly fall into the garbage bag from the unfolded bag opening of the garbage bag.

[0058] Through the setting of the first transmission mechanism 5, the pulling hook 3 is realized to rotate to unfold the bag opening of the garbage bag in the process of the lifting ring 41 vertically moving, thereby completing the setting of the garbage bag in the first containing cavity 11, so that the garbage bag can completely accommodate the medical waste put into the first containing chamber.

[0059] In order to improve the laying effect of the garbage bag in the first containing cavity 11, a method of blowing air from top to bottom to the garbage bag can be used to improve the unfolding degree of the bag body of the garbage bag, that is, the cover 23 is provided with a fan 16, air is blown into the garbage bag through the bag opening of the garbage bag by the fan 16, so that the bag body of the garbage bag can unfold horizontally and vertically downward under the wind pressure formed by the forward blowing, thereby improving the laying degree of the garbage bag in the first containing cavity 11.

[0060] Referring to Figures 9-11The conveying assembly 6 comprises a first pushing module 61 for driving the vertical linear movement of the garbage bag and a second pushing module 62 for driving the horizontal linear movement of the garbage bag. The first pushing module 61 comprises a first pushing piece 63 and a first screw rod 64. The first pushing piece 63 is in the shape of L and is slidingly arranged on the barrel 1. The first screw rod 64 is rotationally arranged on the barrel 1. A second motor 65 is mounted on the barrel 1 for driving the rotation of the first screw rod 64. The transverse section 631 of the first pushing piece 63 is threadedly sleeved on the first screw rod 64. The top surface and the bottom surface of the inner end of the box 2 are respectively provided with a bag outlet 24 and a first through hole 25 at opposite positions. The bag outlet 24 and the first through hole 25 are both in communication with the second containing cavity 21. The first through hole 25 is located on the movement track of the longitudinal section 632 of the first pushing piece 63. The bottom surface of the first containing cavity 11 is provided with a guide channel 17. The first containing cavity 11 is in communication with the bag outlet 24 through the guide channel 17. The second pushing module 62 comprises a second pushing piece 66 and a second screw rod 67. The second pushing piece 66 is of telescopic structure and is slidingly arranged on the barrel 1. The second screw rod 67 is rotationally arranged on the barrel 1. A third motor 68 is mounted on the barrel 1 for driving the rotation of the second screw rod 67. The second pushing piece 66 is threadedly sleeved on the second screw rod 67. The top surface of the outer end of the box 2 is provided with a second through hole 26. The second through hole 26 is located on the telescopic track of the second pushing piece 66. The top surface of the box 2 is provided with a sliding hole 27 along the movement direction of the second pushing piece 66. The sliding hole 27 is in communication with the second through hole 26.

[0061] In use, the first pushing piece 63 is vertically and linearly moved upward by driving the first screw rod 64 to rotate through the second motor 65. During the vertical upward movement of the first pushing piece 63, the longitudinal section 632 of the first pushing piece 63 is inserted into the second containing cavity 21 through the first through hole 25 and abuts against the garbage bag to move vertically upward together, so that the garbage bag enters the guide channel 17 through the bag outlet 24 and is vertically conveyed to the top along the guide channel 17. Then, when the pulling hook 3 is rotated and hooks the hook sleeve on the garbage bag, the first pushing piece 63 is reset under the drive of the second motor 65. Subsequently, the second pushing piece 66 is linearly moved inward horizontally by driving the second screw rod 67 to rotate through the third motor 68, so that the second pushing piece 66 pushes the garbage bag in the second containing cavity 21 to move inward until the garbage bag located at the most front end in the movement direction of the second pushing piece 66 moves to the movement track of the first pushing piece 63. Thus, after the garbage bag in the unfolded state in the first containing cavity 11 is taken out, the first pushing block can vertically convey a new garbage bag to the top along the guide channel 17 again, and the laying of the new garbage bag in the first containing cavity 11 is performed under the action of the pulling hook 3.
