After the intelligent identification system identifies the category of medical waste, the swing wheel sorting unit 2 operates to sort the medical waste on the conveyor belt 1 into the temporary storage box 3 or continue to convey it.

[0029] It should be noted that the pendulum sorting unit 2 and the crusher 5 are existing structures, and will not be described in detail in this application; the pendulum sorting unit 2 is equipped with multiple sets according to the actual recycling categories, and the number of temporary storage boxes 3 is the same as that of the pendulum sorting unit 2; the conveyor belt 1 adopts a flexible track type with anti-slip texture on the surface to ensure smooth transportation of medical waste of various shapes; both the conveyor belt 1 and the pendulum sorting unit 2 are connected to the intelligent identification system signal.

[0030] Please see Figures 1-4 The top of the crusher 5 is fixedly connected to the top cover 6. The left side of the top cover 6 is provided with a feed inlet, and the right end of the conveyor belt 1 is set inside the feed inlet, so that the conveyor belt 1 can easily feed materials.

[0031] Several curtains 7 are hinged to the left side inside the top cover 6. The bottom of the curtains 7 is higher than the upper surface of the conveyor belt 1. The curtains 7 are rigid curtains and are used to prevent waste liquid from splashing and dust from scattering when breaking medical waste such as sharp objects.

[0032] Several nozzles 8 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides inside the top cover 6. The nozzles 8 are connected to a disinfectant tank. The nozzles 8 are used to spray when crushing medical waste such as sharp instruments to prevent waste liquid from splashing and dust from scattering.

[0033] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The bottom of the crusher 5 is fixedly connected to a disinfection tank 9, and a filter frame 10 is hinged on the disinfection tank 9. The filter frame 10 is L-shaped and a filter screen is installed on the filter frame 10. A baffle 13 is fixedly connected to the left end of the filter frame 10.

[0034] The bottom left side of the crusher 5 has a discharge port 15, which corresponds to the position of the baffle 13. By default, the baffle 13 is attached to the bottom of the crusher 5, so that the discharge port 15 is closed.

[0035] The bottom of the disinfection tank 9 is fixedly connected to a support base 17, and two sets of cylinders 11 are fixedly connected to the support base 17. The bottom of the baffle 13 is fixedly connected to two sets of sliding grooves 18, and a slider 16 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 18.

For sharps, the swing wheel sorting unit 2 does not oscillate, and the waste continues to be transported by conveyor belt 1 to the crusher 5. Then, the nozzle 8 is turned on to spray the crushed medical waste. The crushed fragments fall into the disinfection tank 9. When the debris is soaked for a period of time, the cylinder 11 retracts and pulls the slider 16 to move to the left in the slide groove 18, causing the filter screen frame 10 to rotate counterclockwise. This lifts the debris on the filter screen frame 10 in the disinfection tank 9, and at the same time, the discharge port 15 opens. The debris slides on the filter screen frame 10 and the baffle 13 under its own gravity and falls into the recycling box 12 on the left side, completing the recycling and harmless sealing. Conversely, after the recycling is completed, the cylinder 11 extends, causing the baffle 13 to re-fit the crusher 5 and return to the default state.
