Furthermore, to facilitate the installation of the rotary motor 21 and the electric push rod 32, the mounting bracket 5 has a first U-shaped clearance 51 corresponding to the rotary motor 21 and a second U-shaped clearance 52 corresponding to the electric push rod 32. The rotary motor 21 and the electric push rod 32 are installed on the mounting bracket 5 by screws. The mounting bracket 5 ensures that the rotary motor 21 and the electric push rod 32 are stably installed around the cable tie gun 1, improving production assembly efficiency and installation stability, and working with the cable tie gun 1 to achieve gooseneck automatic packaging of medical waste bags.

[0030] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the twisting assembly 2 includes a rotary motor 21 and a hook 22. The rotary motor 21 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 5, and its drive end is provided with the hook 22, which is used to hook the handle end of the medical waste bag. The rotary motor 21 is the power source in the twisting assembly 2, responsible for providing rotational torque, and the hook 22 connected to its drive end rotates accordingly. After the tightening section of the medical waste bag, i.e., the handle part, is hooked onto the hook 22, the rotary motor 21 is started, and the hook 22 rotates accordingly to twist the tightening section of the medical waste bag, making it into a twisted shape. The opening of the medical waste bag is tightly tightened, ensuring that the garbage bag is sealed tightly, preventing contamination, and reducing the risk of infection of the collection personnel from contact with viruses. Furthermore, the design of the hook 22 can prevent the handle of the medical waste bag from falling off the hook 22 when the rotary motor 21 twists the handle of the medical waste bag, improving the stability of the hook and making it easy to remove after packaging.

[0031] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the folding assembly 3 also includes an electric actuator 32. The drive end of the electric actuator 32 is connected to the hook 31. The hook 31 extends and retracts along the central axis of the binding movable end 11 via the electric actuator 32. When the automatic binding device is idle, the hook 31 is located directly below the hook 22, and the two are aligned. The tightening section of the medical waste bag passes through the hook 31 and is hooked onto the hook 22. After tightening, the electric actuator 32 drives the hook 31 to move closer to the electric actuator 32 along the central axis of the binding movable end 11, hooking the middle of the tightening section and passing through the binding movable end 11, thus folding the tightening section in half.

[0032] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a power supply 6, which is located between the mounting bracket 5 and the cable tie gun 1, and has a charging port 61. The controller 4 has two buttons, corresponding to the rotary motor 21 and the electric push rod 32 respectively. The connection between the rotary motor 21, the electric push rod 32 and the power supply 6 is controlled by the corresponding buttons. The power supply 6 is located within the space enclosed by the mounting bracket 5 and the cable tie gun 1, and the two buttons are located on the cable tie gun 1. Power supply 6 provides power to the rotary motor 21 and electric actuator 32, while corresponding buttons control the on / off state of power supply 6, ensuring that the rotary motor 21 and electric actuator 32 can operate normally when needed. When the user needs to start the rotary motor 21, pressing the corresponding button turns the rotary motor 21 on; releasing the button stops the rotary motor 21. The user can observe the twisting effect and decide when to stop the rotary motor 21. Pressing the folding button moves the electric actuator 32 along the central axis of the binding movable end 11, hooking the middle of the tightened section of the twisted medical waste bag, and folding it with the movement of the electric actuator 32, thus completing the gooseneck packing of the medical waste bag in conjunction with the cable tie gun 1. Furthermore, power supply 6 has a charging port 61, allowing the automatic binding device to be used mobilely without needing to be plugged in at all times.

[0033] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cable tie gun 1 includes a main body 12, a strapping switch 13, and a handle 14. The handle 14 is provided at one end of the main body 12, and the strapping movable end 11 is provided at the other end. The strapping switch 13 is located on the main body 12, between the handle 14 and the strapping movable end 11, and is used to control the strapping movable end 11 to perform strapping. The cable tie gun 1 is a fully automatic cable tie machine that integrates feeding, strapping, and cutting. The main body 12 is equipped with a drive mechanism, such as a power unit, a DC brushless motor, and a worm gear reducer. The drive mechanism drives the strapping movable end 11 to cooperate with the cable tie gun 1's own feeding structure, strapping tensioning structure, and strapping cutting structure to perform strapping and tightening by rotating and folding the lifting ears.

After twisting, the electric push rod 32 is activated to pass the tightening section through the hooks 31 to the strapping movable end 11. The ends of the tightening section are close together, and the strapping position is close to the root of the tightening section. Pressing the strapping switch 13 causes the strapping movable end 11 to bind the folded tightening section. During the folding process, the height of the automatic strapping device is adjusted accordingly. After strapping is completed, the handles of the medical waste bag are separated from the hooks 22 and 31.

[0035] In summary, this automatic gooseneck strapping device for medical waste bags, through the combined use of the cable tie gun 1 and the twisting assembly 2, automatically straps the medical waste bags after the handles are shaped into a gooseneck form. The twisting assembly 2 twists the handles into a braided shape, and then the folding assembly 3 folds the handles in half. The cable tie gun 1 then binds the folded handles. This efficient, stable, and convenient automatic strapping process for medical waste bags meets the needs of medical waste management and effectively improves strapping efficiency, ease of operation, and accuracy. It also reduces operational complexity, increases work efficiency, avoids the loosening or contamination problems that may occur during manual strapping, and reduces direct contact between workers and waste, lowering the risk of infection and transmission.
