Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical waste transfer, in particular to an intelligent garbage bin and a transfer vehicle for collecting medical waste. Background Art

[0002] Medical waste refers to waste that is directly or indirectly infectious, toxic, or otherwise hazardous and is generated by medical institutions in the course of medical treatment, prevention, health care, and other related activities. Medical waste may contain a large number of pathogenic microorganisms and harmful chemicals, and may even contain radioactive and damaging substances. Therefore, medical waste is an important risk factor that causes disease transmission or related public health problems. According to national industry regulations, hospitals should establish a medical waste management information system to manage the entire process of medical waste generation, collection, transportation, storage, treatment, and final disposal. Each department will classify the medical waste generated, place it in a fixed location, and collect it by dedicated collectors. During the collection process, the collectors collect the waste from each department and transport it to the collection vehicle via a cart. The collectors come into direct contact with medical waste more than once, increasing the risk of infection. Utility Model Content
