When an empty medical waste container is moved to any container placement position, operate the lifting mechanism to drive the main body bracket to rise. The medical waste container is lifted by the main body bracket and leaves the ground, completing the position fixation of the medical waste container. After the medical waste container is lifted up, a weight reading will be displayed on the weighing unit. Based on the weight reading, the weight of the waste stored in the medical waste container can be grasped in real time. At the same time, when the weighing unit is triggered, the signal receiving unit associated with the weighing unit and the nearest broadcasting unit will be bound, and the input information of the input control unit on the medical waste container will be obtained relying on the binding relationship between the signal receiving unit and the broadcasting unit.

[0029] An input control unit 30 and a broadcast unit 31 are provided on the medical waste container 3, and a signal receiving unit 200 for receiving the signal of the broadcast unit is provided on the main body bracket 20; the weighing unit 23 on the main body bracket 20 is associated with the signal receiving unit 200; the industrial control computer 1 is communicatively connected to each signal receiving unit 200 and each weighing unit 23, and is used for multi-point positioning of the medical waste container 3 with the broadcast unit 31 according to the broadcast signal strength received by multiple signal receiving units 200, obtaining the position and moving path of the medical waste container 3 (the existing positioning and path acquisition algorithms can be used for the algorithm), and is also used for binding the signal receiving unit 200 associated with the weighing unit 23 and the nearest broadcast unit 31 when the weighing unit 23 is triggered, and obtaining the input information of the input control unit 30 on the medical waste container 3 depending on the binding relationship between the signal receiving unit 200 and the broadcast unit 31, and the signal receiving units not participating in the binding shield the signals of the already bound broadcast unit 31;
[0030] The industrial control computer 1 receives and processes the broadcast signal strength of the broadcast unit 31 on the medical waste container 3 received by the signal receiving units 200 on multiple main body brackets 20, and calculates the position of the medical waste container 3 according to the multi-point positioning algorithm;
[0031] If the medical waste container 3 moves, the moving trajectory is obtained according to the calculated multiple positions; when the empty medical waste container 3 is moved to any container placement position, the lifting mechanism 22 is operated manually to drive the main body bracket 20 to rise, and the medical waste container 3 is lifted by the main body bracket 20 and leaves the ground, completing the position fixation of the medical waste container 3; after the medical waste container 3 is lifted, a weight reading will be displayed on the weighing unit 23, and the weight of the waste stored in the medical waste container 3 can be grasped in real time according to the weight reading;

[0034] By applying the method of the present application, the positioning and communication of the medical waste container 3 are completed by a set of systems, and the edge computing is used to process the front-end data. It can not only ensure the accuracy of the placement position of the medical waste container 3, but also give an alarm in time when the medical waste container 3 is removed. At the same time, a series of operations such as weighing, data input and reading can be carried out, which can effectively improve the processing efficiency, reduce the computing load of the monitoring center, and reduce the operation difficulty; the signal receiving unit 200 has two states. In the state of being bound to the broadcasting unit 31, it is used for information reception. In the case of not being bound to the broadcasting unit 31, it is used for signal strength positioning.

[0041] The horizontal side of the detachable bracket 304 is slidably matched with the horizontal side of the L-shaped groove 33.
