An L-shaped contact plate 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the T-shaped column 7. A tactile switch 9 is fixedly connected inside the medical waste storage cabinet 1, and the tactile switch 9 is located at the rear end of the L-shaped contact plate 8.
[0025] The disinfection control system uses a 9-touch switch linkage mechanism to ensure that disinfection is automatically paused when the product is applied and resumed when it is turned off.
[0026] A baffle plate 10 is rotatably fitted on the outer wall of the T-shaped column 7. The bottom of the baffle plate 10 is slidably connected to the top of the medical waste storage cabinet 1. A sealing gasket is fixedly connected to the bottom of the baffle plate 10 to ensure that the disposal port 14 is sealed and leak-proof when closed.
[0027] The top of the medical waste storage cabinet 1 is equipped with an anti-slip component, which includes a T-shaped iron column 12. The top of the medical waste storage cabinet 1 is provided with a T-shaped sliding groove 11. The inner wall of the T-shaped sliding groove 11 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the T-shaped iron column 12. The T-shaped sliding groove 11 assists the T-shaped iron column 12 to move linearly.
[0028] The outer wall of the shield 10 has a groove, and the inner wall of the groove is fixedly embedded with a magnet 13. The magnet 13 fixes the T-shaped iron column 12 in position by magnetic attraction. The top of the medical waste storage cabinet 1 has a disposal port 14.
