[0029] Please refer to Figures 1-7The embodiment of the present application provides a medical garbage can capable of preventing aerosol overflow, which comprises: a garbage recycling barrel body 2 with an opening at the top; an arc-shaped shell 5 arranged at the opening and in sealing cooperation with the opening; wherein the outer side of the arc-shaped shell 5 is provided with a drop port 3 in communication with the garbage recycling barrel body 2, and the drop port 3 is arranged along the height direction of the garbage recycling barrel body 2; a sealing assembly comprising a sealing plate 4 and a counterweight 6, the sealing plate 4 is arranged at the drop port 3 and can slide towards the top of the arc-shaped shell 5 relative to the drop port 3, and the counterweight 6 is arranged at the bottom of the sealing plate 4; and an adjusting assembly comprising a first take-up wheel 10, a second take-up wheel 11 and a third take-up wheel 12, all arranged at the garbage recycling barrel body 2, the caliber value of the first take-up wheel 10 is equal to the caliber value of the second take-up wheel 11, the caliber value of the second take-up wheel 11 is smaller than the caliber value of the third take-up wheel 12, the first take-up wheel 10 is rotatably arranged at the bottom of the garbage recycling barrel body and connected with an adjusting pedal 1 through a first rotating shaft 18, the second take-up wheel 11 and the third take-up wheel 12 are coaxially arranged through a second rotating shaft 20, the first take-up wheel 10 and the second take-up wheel 11 are jointly provided with a first traction rope 13, the third take-up wheel 12 is provided with a second traction rope 19, one end of the second traction rope 19 away from the third take-up wheel 12 is connected with the sealing plate 4, when the adjusting pedal 1 is pressed, the first traction rope 13 drives the second take-up wheel 11 and the third take-up wheel 12 to rotate synchronously, the second traction rope 19 is wound on the third take-up wheel 12 and pulls the sealing plate 4 away from the drop port 3.

[0030] The medical garbage can of the present application is in a daily state, the sealing plate 4 is tightly covered on the pouring port 3 under the action of the counterweight 6, because the counterweight 6 is located at the bottom of the sealing plate 4, the sealing plate 4 is kept in a drooping closed state by using gravity, effectively blocking the air flow between the inside and outside of the garbage can. When medical waste needs to be put in, the user steps on the adjusting pedal 1, the adjusting pedal 1 drives the first take-up wheel 10 to rotate through the first rotating shaft 18, because the first take-up wheel 10 and the second take-up wheel 11 are coaxially arranged and the caliber of the first take-up wheel 10 is equal to that of the second take-up wheel 11, in the rotating process, the first traction rope 13 drives the second take-up wheel 11 to rotate synchronously, and because the second take-up wheel 11 and the third take-up wheel 12 are coaxially arranged through the second rotating shaft 20, the third take-up wheel 12 also rotates synchronously. At this time, the second traction rope 19 wound on the third take-up wheel 12 starts to be wound, under the action of traction force, the sealing plate 4 overcomes the gravity of the counterweight 6, and slides relative to the pouring port 3 towards the top of the arched shell 5, so as to open the pouring port 3, and the user can put the medical waste into the garbage recycling barrel 2. After the putting is completed, the adjusting pedal 1 is released, the sealing plate 4 falls back under the action of the counterweight 6, and the pouring port 3 is closed again. The traditional flip-top garbage can will produce airflow pressure change when opening or closing, which will cause aerosol overflow. The present application is opened by stepping on the adjusting pedal 1 in an instant, and the cooperation of the take-up wheels and the traction ropes in the adjusting assembly makes the sealing plate 4 open the pouring port 3 smoothly and slowly, the movement track of the sealing plate is arc-shaped, and there is no airflow surge in the process of opening or closing, so there is no airflow surge, which can avoid overflow.

[0031] In addition, it is worth mentioning that the medical garbage can needs to be frequently disinfected, and the similar slide cover aerosol-proof garbage can structure is complex, and long-time soaking in disinfectant solution will cause the structure to rust and affect the use. The pulley rope structure adopted by the present application is not affected by the disinfectant solution. It has the advantages of stable use effect and long use period.
