Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical waste treatment technology, and in particular to a medical waste turnover bin stacking device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, medical waste containers are often stacked when loaded into medical waste transport vehicles. Unloading them one by one is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Furthermore, medical waste that cannot be processed immediately needs to be temporarily stored in designated locations, requiring secondary transport if further processing is needed. Unloading requires opening the latches on the container to separate the lid from the container, then flipping the container to dump the medical waste into the medical waste disinfection system. The container and lid are then transported separately to the container cleaning and disinfection line. After cleaning and disinfection, the lids and containers are stacked separately, and finally, the stacked lids and containers are transported to designated storage locations. Empty containers also need to be handled again for reuse. This operation and storage method requires multiple transfers, resulting in low efficiency. The workshop construction requires ample open space and transfer channels for temporary stacking and transfer of containers, leading to a disjointed and inefficient operation. If traditional manual labor is used, workers repeat mechanical tasks for 3 to 15 seconds during stacking or handling, resulting in very high labor intensity, continuously decreasing efficiency, high labor costs, and the risk of workplace injuries. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main objective of this invention is to provide a medical waste turnover bin stacking device to solve the above-mentioned technical problems and to automatically stack medical waste turnover bins.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0021] like Figure 1As shown, a medical waste transfer bin stacking device includes a frame 1, a clamping and moving mechanism 2, a stacking mechanism 4, and a transport mechanism 3. The clamping and moving mechanism 2, the stacking mechanism 4, and the transport mechanism 3 are all mounted on the frame 1, with the ends of the clamping and moving mechanism 2 aligned with those of the transport mechanism 3. The stacking mechanism 4 is located above the transport mechanism 3 and near its end. The medical waste transfer bin a is a plastic box with a lid. The edge of the medical waste transfer bin a is provided with clamping rings b for easy clamping by other mechanisms. The waste transfer container a is arranged around the clamping and moving mechanism 2 and the stacking mechanism 4 for clamping and fixing. The external conveyor belt is aligned with the clamping and moving mechanism 2. The external conveyor belt moves the medical waste transfer container a to the clamping and moving mechanism 2. The clamping and moving mechanism 2 transfers the medical waste transfer container a to the transport mechanism 3. The transport mechanism 3 moves the medical waste transfer container a to the bottom of the stacking mechanism 4 and stacks the medical waste transfer containers a one by one neatly on the stacking mechanism 4. Finally, the stacked medical waste transfer containers a are transferred by an external trolley.

[0022] Please combine Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the clamping and moving mechanism 2 includes a fork arm 23, a lifting assembly 22, and a translation assembly 21. The medical waste transfer bin a is placed on the fork arm 23, that is, the fork arm 23 is inserted into the lower end of the clamping ring b. The lifting assembly 22 drives the fork arm 23 to move up and down, thereby driving the medical waste transfer bin a to move up and down. The translation assembly 21 drives the lifting assembly 22 to move horizontally, thereby driving the medical waste transfer bin a to move from the external conveyor belt to the transport mechanism 3. When the external conveyor belt moves the medical waste transfer container a to the clamping and moving mechanism 2, the lifting component 22 drives the fork arm 23 to descend, so that the upper end face of the fork arm 23 is lower than the lower end face of the clamping ring b. Then, the translation component 21 drives the lifting component 22 to translate, so that the medical waste transfer container a is placed on the fork arm 23 and the fork arm 23 is placed below the clamping ring b. The lifting component 22 drives the fork arm 23 to rise, so that the medical waste transfer container a is lifted and detached from the external conveyor belt. The translation component 21 drives the lifting component 22 to continue to translate, moving to the transport mechanism 3. The lifting component 22 drives the fork arm 23 to descend, so that the medical waste transfer container a is placed on the transport mechanism 3 and the medical waste transfer container a is separated from the fork arm 23, thus completing one movement of the medical waste transfer container a from the external conveyor belt to the transport mechanism 3.

[0023] The translation assembly 21 includes a translation base 211, a translation rack 215, a translation guide rail 214, a translation seat 213, a translation drive wheel 216, a translation slider 217, and a translation motor 212. The translation base 211 is mounted on the frame 1. The translation guide rail 214 and the translation rack 215 are fixed on the translation base 211. The lifting assembly 22 is mounted on the translation seat 213. The translation slider 217 is fixed at the lower end of the translation seat 213. The translation slider 217 moves along the translation guide rail 214. The translation motor 212 is mounted on the translation seat 213. The translation drive wheel 216 meshes with the translation rack 215. The translation motor 212 drives the translation drive wheel 216 to rotate, thereby moving the translation seat 213 along the translation guide rail 214 to move the medical waste transfer container a.

[0024] The lifting assembly 22 includes a lifting cylinder 221, a lifting seat 222, a lifting slider 224, and a lifting guide rail 223. The lifting guide rail 223 and the lifting cylinder 221 are mounted on the translation seat 213. The lifting slider 224 and the fork arm 23 are fixed on the lifting seat 222. The lifting slider 224 moves along the lifting guide rail 223. The lifting cylinder 221 drives the lifting seat 222 to move along the lifting guide rail 223, thereby driving the fork arm 23 to lift.

[0025] Please combine Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the palletizing mechanism 4 includes a support assembly 41, a guide structure 42, and two fixed guide blocks 43. The support assembly 41, the two guide structures 42, and the two fixed guide blocks 43 are fixed to the frame 1. The support assembly 41 is located on both sides of the end of the transport mechanism 3, and the guide structure 42 is located at the end of the transport mechanism 3, with the fixed guide blocks 43 aligned with the guide structure 42. The guide structure 42 includes a guide cylinder 421 and a movable guide block 422. The guide cylinder 421 is fixed to the top of the frame 1. The movable guide block 422 is driven to move. When the guide cylinder 421 drives the movable guide block 422 to extend, the two movable guide blocks 422 and the fixed guide block 43 form a storage space. The shape of the storage space matches the outermost shape of the medical waste turnover bin a, and is used to guide the medical waste turnover bin a to be stacked. The support assembly 41 includes a support cylinder 411 and a support block 412. The support cylinder 411 is fixed on the frame 1. The support cylinder 411 drives the support block 412 to move and extend. The two support blocks 412 are driven to extend and abut against the clamping ring b to support the medical waste turnover bin a.

[0026] like Figure 5As shown, the transport mechanism 3 includes a transport support 31, a transport lifting component 32, and a transport transmission component 33. The transport lifting component 32 is mounted on the transport support 31, and the transport lifting component 32 drives the transport transmission component 33 to move. In this embodiment, the transport lifting component 32 is a worm gear lift, and the transport transmission component 33 is a motor-driven belt transmission conveyor structure.

[0027] When the first medical waste container a needs to be placed, the clamping and moving mechanism 2 moves the medical waste container a to the transport mechanism 3. The transport lifting component 32 drives the transport transmission component 33 to descend, and at the same time, the transport transmission component 33 drives the medical waste container a to move to one end near the palletizing mechanism 4. At this time, the medical waste container a is located below the palletizing mechanism 4. The transport lifting component 32 drives the transport transmission component 33 to rise, and the support cylinder 411 drives the support block 412 to move and extend. The two support blocks 412 are driven to extend and abut against the clamping ring b to support the medical waste container a. When the medical waste container a needs to be palletized, the clamping and moving mechanism 2 moves the medical waste container a to the transport mechanism 3. The transport lifting component 32 drives the transport transmission component 33 to descend, and at the same time, the transport transmission component 33 drives the medical waste container a to move to one end near the palletizing mechanism 4. At this time, the medical waste container a is located below the palletizing mechanism 4. The transport lifting component 32 drives the transport transmission component 33 to descend, and at the same time, the transport transmission component 33 drives the medical waste container a to move to one end near the palletizing mechanism 4. At this time, the medical waste container a is located below the palletizing mechanism 4. The transport lifting component 32 drives the transport transmission component 33 to move and extend, and at the same time, the transport transmission component 33 drives the medical waste container a to move to one end near the palletizing mechanism 4. The moving transport drive assembly 33 rises, and after the lower end of the previous medical waste turnover bin a contacts the upper end of the medical waste turnover bin a located on the transport drive assembly 33, the support cylinder 411 drives the support block 412 to move and retract. The transport lifting assembly 32 drives the transport drive assembly 33 to continue rising. After the medical waste turnover bin a located on the transport drive assembly 33 moves into place, the support cylinder 411 drives the support block 412 to move and extend. The two support blocks 412 are driven to extend and abut against the clamping ring b to support the medical waste turnover bin a. When the medical waste turnover bin a is full, the external trolley moves to the lower end of the lowest medical waste turnover bin a and contacts the lower end of the medical waste turnover bin a. The support cylinder 411 drives the support block 412 to move and retract, so that the external trolley can smoothly receive the stacked medical waste turnover bin a and prevent the medical waste turnover bin a from tipping over. Then the guide cylinder 421 drives the movable guide block 422 to move and retract, so as not to interfere with the movement of the medical waste turnover bin a.

[0028] The embodiments described above are merely preferred examples of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features and principles described in the claims of this utility model should be included within the scope of this utility model patent application.
