Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of garbage recycling systems, and particularly to an intelligent Internet of Things medical waste sorting and recycling system, method, device, and medium. Background Art
[0002] In the medical field, the treatment of medical waste has always been a crucial and challenging issue. Traditional methods of treating medical waste have many drawbacks, seriously affecting the safety and hygiene of the medical environment.
[0003] Currently, the collection link of medical waste lacks intelligent management. Each department in the hospital usually uses ordinary trash cans to collect garbage, and it is impossible to accurately and timely grasp the status of the garbage in the trash cans in real time. Medical staff need to frequently check manually whether the trash cans are full, which not only wastes manpower, but also may cause garbage overflow due to failure to clean in time, increasing the risk of bacterial growth and cross-infection. Moreover, different types of medical waste are collected mixed, bringing great difficulties to the subsequent sorting work.
[0004] In terms of garbage transportation, traditional methods rely on manual operation, and the transportation process lacks effective monitoring and scheduling. The transportation personnel may not be able to transport according to the optimal route and time, resulting in low transportation efficiency, increasing the residence time of garbage in the hospital, and further increasing the possibility of pollution spread. At the same time, manual transportation is prone to mistakes, such as garbage dropping and omission, causing pollution to the hospital environment.
[0005] The sorting and recycling link of medical waste is full of problems. Traditional sorting methods mainly rely on manual visual recognition, with low efficiency and poor accuracy, and the sorting personnel are exposed to medical waste for a long time, facing a high risk of infection. In addition, for some special medical waste, such as garbage containing harmful substances, it is difficult to achieve precise classification by manual sorting, which is likely to cause waste of resources and environmental pollution. Moreover, the entire medical waste treatment process lacks an effective traceability mechanism. Once a problem occurs, it is difficult to identify the responsibility and the source.
[0006] With the continuous development of the medical industry, the generation volume of medical waste is increasing day by day, and the traditional treatment methods can no longer meet the actual needs. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to develop an intelligent Internet of Things medical waste sorting and recycling system, method, device, and medium to achieve intelligent and precise treatment of medical waste, improve the treatment efficiency and safety, and reduce environmental pollution.

When the trash weight W reaches the dynamic threshold W threshold (t) or the liquid level height L reaches the dynamic threshold L threshold (t), a full-can signal is sent to the central control module through LoRa wireless communication technology based on quantum encryption. The dynamic threshold is adjusted in real time according to the trash generation rules of different departments and different time periods by using a time series analysis algorithm, and the formula is expressed as: when W ≥ W threshold (t) or L > L threshold (t), a full-can signal is sent.

Through a deep learning model that fuses multi-modal data (images, weights, liquid levels, etc.), the garbage pictures are classified and identified, and the identification accuracy is not less than 98%. Based on the algorithm results, combined with the hospital's internal geographic information system (GIS) and real-time traffic conditions, an optimal sorting and recycling plan is generated to control the operation of subsequent modules.

The robotic arm adopts a flexible joint design and force feedback control technology, with a repeat positioning accuracy of ±0.2 mm. According to the analysis results, the garbage is sorted into different recycling bins, and the grasping force can be automatically adjusted according to the shape and texture of the garbage. Monitoring and traceability module: Install a variety of sensors such as high-definition cameras, temperature and humidity sensors, and gas sensors at key positions in the system to monitor the operation status of the system in real time. Through blockchain technology combined with quantum watermark technology, the data of the entire process of garbage collection, transportation, sorting, and recycling is recorded to achieve information traceability and ensure that the data cannot be tampered with. The quantum watermark technology adds a unique quantum identifier to the data, further enhancing the security and credibility of the data.
[0050] In the present invention, it further includes:
[0051] Disinfection module. A plasma disinfection device and a photocatalyst disinfection layer are set inside the intelligent trash can and recycling bin. The plasma disinfection device can generate high-concentration plasma, quickly kill bacteria and viruses, and the disinfection efficiency is 30% higher than that of traditional ultraviolet disinfection. The photocatalyst disinfection layer continuously decomposes harmful organic substances under light conditions, effectively purifying the air. At the same time, the disinfection module automatically adjusts disinfection parameters such as disinfection time and intensity according to the type and pollution degree of the garbage.
[0052] Early warning module: When the system has a fault or abnormal situation, such as the AGV deviating from the route, sensor data being abnormal, the disinfection module malfunctioning, etc., warning information is sent to the management personnel by means of text messages, emails or pop-ups within the system based on artificial intelligence voice synthesis technology. The warning information includes the type of fault, the location where it occurs, the time, and preliminary fault diagnosis suggestions, facilitating the management personnel to handle it quickly.
[0053] In the present invention, the intelligent trash can in the garbage collection module is made of a biodegradable composite material for the barrel body, and the barrel lid has intelligent induction and voice interaction functions. The automatic opening and closing of the barrel lid is realized through millimeter-wave radar induction technology, with an induction distance of 15 - 40 cm and an opening and closing time not exceeding 0.8 s. At the same time, medical staff can control the opening and closing of the barrel lid through voice commands, facilitating the disposal of garbage.
