[0017] 2. The present invention drives push rod 1 to send the article to one end of the electromagnetic slide rail close to the track through slider 1, and moves to the other end. Slider 2 drives push rod 2 to slide to this position. As slider 2 drives push rod 2 to move to a position beyond the article, push rod 2 loses resistance, so that push rod 2 is located on one side of the article, which is convenient for push rod 2 to push the article. Through the rebound of the torsion spring, rack belt 1 drives gear 2 to reverse, and gear 2 drives rack belt 2 to slide in the opposite direction, so that push rod 2 pushes the first article to move in the direction close to gear 3. Sensor 2 observes the distance between the article and the inner wall of the shell. When the distance between the article and the inner wall of the shell is too close, it controls the electromagnetic slide rail to drive slider 1 to move in the opposite direction to prevent it from contacting the inner wall of the shell, resulting in poor circulation of sterilization gas or radiation energy, resulting in incomplete disinfection.

The other end of one side of the slider two 582 is fixedly connected to a sensor two 584.

[0039] Working principle:

[0040] like Figure 1As shown in Figure 6, the medical staff puts the medical waste on the platform 12, determines whether the item can be recycled through the camera 2, and then puts the non-recyclable items into the feed port 13 and the recyclable items into the feed port 2 14 through the robot 3, thereby reducing the workload of the staff and reducing the chance of contact between the staff and pollutants. The items put into the feed port 2 14 need to face the opening upward, and when the item contacts the cylinder 1 442, it is pressed downward, so that the cylinder 1 442 moves downward and compresses the spring 1 441. At this time, the spring 2 444 inside the cylinder 1 442 around the item loses the restriction of the cylinder 1 442 and pushes the block 445 outward and contacts the outer wall of the item, so that the item is stuck on the slide belt 44, preventing some glass products from sliding around and being knocked during the downward transportation process. Then start the motor 41 to drive the roller 1 42 to rotate, the slide 44 slides on the roller 1 42 and drives the roller 2 43 to rotate, and at the same time start the spray head to rinse the article and clean the pollutants above it; when the article between the cylinder 1 442 is transported to the roller 2 43, the slide 44 slides along the trajectory of the roller 2 43, so that the distance between the cylinder 1 442 of this part becomes larger, so that the block 445 relaxes the restriction on the article, and when the slide 44 drives the article to the bottom of the roller 2 43, the article falls onto the leak plate 2 132 by its own gravity and is located between the push rod 1 573 and the sensor 1 574. At this time, the article is turned upside down on the leak plate 2 132, so that the water just sprayed into the article flows out and flows to the bottom of the leak plate 2 132, which is convenient for subsequent steam and radiation disinfection.

[0041] like Figure 7 As shown in Figure 9, the staff then starts the electromagnetic slide rail 57, driving the slider 572 to drive the push rod 573 and the sensor 574 to move away from the slide belt 44, and the push rod 573 and the sensor 574 drive the object in the middle to move synchronously, and send the object to the side of the leak plate 132 away from the slide belt 44, and the sensor 574 observes the distance between the object and the inner wall of the shell 1; at the same time, the slider 572 moves to drive the rack belt 55 to move, and the rack belt 55 drives the gear 1 52 and the gear 2 53 rotates, gear 2 53 drives rack belt 2 56 to move and drives gear 3 54 to rotate, rack belt 2 56 drives L rod 562 to slide in square hole 1 561 and slider 2 582 to slide in track 58, rotating plate 563 moves following L rod 562, and moves the unrecyclable items on leaking plate 1 131. When rotating plate 563 contacts the items, it rotates due to resistance, so that the unrecyclable items are spread more evenly on leaking plate 1 131, which is convenient for subsequent high-temperature and high-pressure steam sterilization;

[0042] like Figure 5As shown in Figure 9, it should be noted that: when the slider 1 572 drives the push rod 1 573 to send the object to one end of the electromagnetic slide rail 57 close to the track 58, and then moves to the other end, the slider 2 582 drives the push rod 2 583 to slide to this position. Since the position of the track 58 is lower than that of the electromagnetic slide rail 57, the push rod 2 583 contacts the object and encounters resistance, and rotates toward the slider 2 582. As the slider 2 582 drives the push rod 2 583 to move to a position beyond the object, the push rod 2 583 loses resistance and rebounds through the torsion spring, so that the push rod 2 583 is located on one side of the object, which is convenient for the push rod 2 583 to move to the position of the object. 3 pushes the object, then the slider 1 572 drives the next object to slide in the direction of the track 58, the rack belt 1 55 drives the gear 2 53 to reverse, the gear 2 53 drives the rack belt 2 56 to slide in the opposite direction, so that the push rod 2 583 pushes the first object to move in the direction close to the gear 3 54, the sensor 2 584 observes the distance between the object and the inner wall of the shell 1, and when the distance between the object and the inner wall of the shell 1 is too close, the electromagnetic slide rail 57 is controlled to drive the slider 1 572 to move in the opposite direction to prevent it from contacting the inner wall of the shell 1, resulting in poor circulation of sterilizing gas or radiation energy, resulting in incomplete disinfection.
