Detailed Implementation

[0031] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0032] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0033] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0034] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0035] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a vehicle for sorting and recycling medical waste, including a vehicle body 1. A first storage box 2 is provided on one side of the vehicle body 1 for storing sharps container 100. The top of the first storage box 2 is covered with an openable first cover 3. A lifting mechanism 4 is also provided inside the first storage box 2. The lifting mechanism 4 includes a support member 41 and a first drive assembly. The first drive assembly is used to drive the support member 41 to move in a vertical direction to receive or lift the sharps container 100. A second storage box 5 is provided on the other side of the vehicle body 1 for storing bagged medical waste.

[0036] First, the classified medical waste recycling vehicle is equipped with a first storage box 2 for storing sharps containers 100, and a second storage box 5 for storing bagged medical waste. This achieves classified storage of different types of medical waste, which complies with relevant regulations for medical waste management, effectively avoids mixing of different types of medical waste, realizes refined management of different types of medical waste, improves recycling efficiency, reduces the risk of cross-contamination, and is conducive to the safe handling and disposal of subsequent medical waste. Second, the first drive component drives the carrier 41 to move vertically. When storing sharps containers 100, the carrier 41 can be moved to a suitable position, making it easy for staff to place the sharps containers 100 on the carrier 41. When retrieving sharps containers 100, the carrier 41 can be used to lift the sharps containers 100. The height allows for easy access, eliminating the need for staff to bend over or strain their hands to retrieve items, greatly improving operational convenience and comfort, and reducing the possibility of staff being injured by accidental contact with sharps. Furthermore, the lifting mechanism 4 makes the first storage box 2 more flexible and efficient in space utilization. The position of the support member 41 can be adjusted according to the actual number and height requirements of the sharps boxes 100, making full use of the vertical space of the storage box and avoiding cluttered stacking of sharps boxes 100 that would occupy space. This increases the storage capacity of the medical waste vehicle, reduces the need for frequent transportation of medical waste due to space constraints, and improves work efficiency. In addition, the first cover 3, which can be opened and closed at the top of the first storage box 2, provides good protection and can effectively prevent sharps in the sharps boxes 100 from accidentally falling or being exposed, avoiding harm to staff and the surrounding environment.

[0037] Among them, such as Figure 4 As shown, the internal storage space of the first storage box 2 is adapted to the shape of the sharps box 100, guiding and limiting the vertical movement of the sharps box 100, which helps the sharps box 100 to be stacked neatly. Furthermore, the first storage box 2 has at least two internal storage spaces, and the top opening of each internal storage space is covered with a first cover 3.

[0038] like Figure 2As shown, specifically, the first drive assembly includes a first drive member 42, a synchronous pulley 43, and a synchronous belt 44. The output end of the first drive member 42 is vertically opposite to the synchronous pulley 43. The output end of the first drive member 42 and the synchronous pulley 43 together tension the synchronous belt 44. The carrier member 41 is fixedly connected to one side of the synchronous belt 44. By using the combination of the first drive member 42, the synchronous pulley 43, and the synchronous belt 44, the synchronous belt 44 transmission has the characteristic of accurate transmission ratio, ensuring that the carrier member 41 runs smoothly during lifting and lowering, without slippage or inaccurate transmission. This is crucial for the lifting and lowering of the carrier member 41 storing the sharps container 100 in the medical waste vehicle, ensuring the stability of the sharps container 100 during lifting and lowering, and preventing the sharps inside the sharps container 100 from shifting or even puncturing the container due to shaking or vibration, thereby improving the safety of medical waste storage and transportation. Furthermore, the above arrangement makes the lifting mechanism 4 layout reasonable. The output end of the first drive component 42 is vertically aligned with the synchronous pulley 43, resulting in a smaller space occupied by the entire drive assembly within the first storage box 2 of the medical waste vehicle. This allows for the rational arrangement of other components within the limited space of the vehicle body 1, improving the utilization rate of the internal space of the medical waste vehicle. This ensures that the medical waste vehicle can fulfill its medical waste storage function without compromising the overall design and use due to an excessively large drive component. Furthermore, components such as the synchronous belt 44, synchronous pulley 43, and first drive component 42 are commonly found in the market, with relatively simple structures that are easy to maintain and replace, and high power transmission efficiency. The first drive component 42 may include, but is not limited to, an electric motor, a hydraulic motor, or a pneumatic motor; no specific limitation is made here.

[0039] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism 4 also includes a slidingly engaged guide post 45 and a guide sleeve 46. The guide post 45 extends vertically, and the guide sleeve 46 is disposed on the carrier 41. The slidingly engaged guide post 45 and guide sleeve 46 provide stable guidance for the lifting movement of the carrier 41, enhance the movement stability of the carrier 41, help prevent the sharps container 100 from shaking during the lifting process, and improve the safety of medical waste during storage and transportation.

[0040] In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 4 further includes a first detection element 47, which is disposed inside the first storage box 2. The first detection element 47 is used to detect whether there is a sharps container 100 in the accommodating space at the top of the first storage box 2. The first driving element 42 is communicatively connected to the first detection element 47. The first driving element 42 can automatically drive the carrier 41 to the appropriate position through the synchronous belt 44 according to the detection result of the first detection element 47, so that the staff can store or take out the sharps container 100. The staff does not need to confirm whether the sharps container 100 has been correctly placed in the designated position. They only need to place the sharps container 100 according to the normal operating procedure. The rest of the detection and lifting control are automatically completed by the system, which greatly improves the automation level of the medical waste vehicle, simplifies the operation process, and improves the convenience of operation.

[0041] The first detection element 47 is a proximity sensor, including but not limited to inductive sensors, capacitive sensors or photoelectric sensors, which are not limited here.

[0042] Optionally, the lifting mechanism 4 also includes a second detection element 48, which is used to detect whether the carrier 41 has reached the starting position. The second detection element 48 is communicatively connected to the first drive component. After the carrier 41 completes a lifting task, the detection by the second detection element 48 can ensure that it accurately returns to the starting position, preparing for the next storage or retrieval of the sharps container 100. The first drive component 42 can automatically perform the next operation according to the signal sent by the second detection element 48, thereby improving the automation level of the medical waste vehicle.

[0043] The second detection element 48 is an origin sensor, which may include, but is not limited to, photoelectric sensors, magnetic switches or limit switches, and is not limited here.

[0044] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the classified medical waste recycling vehicle also includes a first flip-top mechanism 6 and a third detection component 7. The first flip-top mechanism 6 is located inside the first storage box 2, and the output end of the first flip-top mechanism 6 is connected to the first cover 3 to drive the first cover 3 to open or close. The third detection component 7 is located on the top of the vehicle body 1 to detect whether there is an object approaching the top of the first storage box 2. The first flip-top mechanism 6 and the third detection component 7 are communicatively connected. By setting up a first flip-top mechanism 6 and a third detection element 7, the automatic opening and closing of the first cover 3 is achieved. The third detection element 7 can detect whether an object is approaching the top of the first storage box 2. When an object is detected, such as when a worker moves the sharps container 100 close, the third detection element 7 transmits a signal to the first flip-top mechanism 6, which drives the first cover 3 to open automatically, facilitating the placement of the sharps container 100. After placement, if no object is detected approaching within a certain period of time, the first flip-top mechanism 6 can automatically close the first cover 3, eliminating the need for manual operation of the flip-top mechanism. This greatly improves the automation level of the medical waste vehicle, and workers do not need to touch the first cover 3, improving the convenience and safety of the sharps container 100 recycling operation. The third detection element 7 is a distance sensor, including but not limited to laser sensors, infrared sensors, or ultrasonic sensors, etc., which are not limited here.

[0045] Specifically, the first flip-top mechanism 6 includes a second drive member 61 and a linkage assembly. The output end of the second drive member 61 is connected to the first cover body 3 through the linkage assembly. The above design makes the first flip-top mechanism 6 simple and reliable in structure, with high power transmission efficiency, and easy to install and maintain.

[0046] like Figure 3As shown, the first cover 3 is rotatably connected to the vehicle body 1. The linkage assembly includes a first link 62 and a second link 63. The first end of the first link 62 is coaxially connected to the output end of the second drive member 61, and the second end of the first link 62 is hinged to the first end of the second link 63. The second end of the second link 63 is connected to the first cover 3. Its design is ingenious, occupies little space, and can accurately convert the rotation output of the second drive member 61 into the flipping action of the first cover 3, enabling the smooth opening and closing of the first cover 3. It can also flexibly adjust the flipping angle, making it suitable for different operating spaces. In addition, the hinge between the first link 62 and the second link 63, as well as the connection between the second link 63 and the first cover 3, form a stable triangular structure (during the movement, the connection between the link and the cover can be approximated as a triangular structure). This structure has good stability and rigidity, and can withstand certain external forces and impacts. Even if the medical waste vehicle encounters bumps or vibrations during travel, it can ensure the normal operation of the first flipping mechanism 6 and prevent the first cover 3 from being accidentally opened or damaged.

[0047] The second driving component 61 may include, but is not limited to, an electric motor, a hydraulic motor, or a pneumatic motor, and is not limited to these.

[0048] Continue as Figure 4 As shown, the first storage box 2 is also provided with an openable maintenance door 17 on one side, which allows staff to open the maintenance door 17 to clean or repair the inside of the first storage box 2.

[0049] In addition, for ease of installation, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first storage box 2 is also provided with a mounting frame 16. The lifting mechanism 4 and the first flip-top mechanism 6 are both mounted on the mounting frame 16. The mounting frame 16 provides a stable mounting position for the lifting mechanism 4 and the first flip-top mechanism 6.

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, similarly, the top of the second storage box 5 is covered with a split second cover 8. The classified medical waste recycling vehicle also includes a second flip-top mechanism 9, which is located inside the second storage box 5. The output end of the second flip-top mechanism 9 is connected to the second cover 8 to drive the second cover 8 to open or close, thereby improving the convenience and safety of bagged medical waste recycling operations. Since bagged medical waste is large in volume and irregular in shape, the second storage box 5 has a large capacity and opening. The split second cover 8 on the top of the second storage box 5 reduces the space required for the second cover 8 when it is opened, making the use of space more flexible and reasonable.

[0051] Specifically, the second flip-top mechanism 9 is disposed within the second storage box 5 and includes a third drive member 91, a lead screw 92, a slide 93, and two third connecting rods 94. The lead screw 92 extends vertically, and the slide 93 is slidably engaged with the lead screw 92. One end of each of the two third lead screws 92 is hinged to the slide 93. One third lead screw 92 is hinged to one side of the second cover 8, and the other third lead screw 92 is hinged to the other side of the second cover 8. The output end of the third drive member 91 is connected to the lead screw 92, enabling it to drive the lead screw 92 to rotate, thereby moving the slide 93 vertically and opening or closing the second cover 8 via the third connecting rods 94. The third drive member 91 may include, but is not limited to, an electric motor, a hydraulic motor, or a pneumatic motor; no specific method is described here.

[0052] Furthermore, the second flip mechanism 9 also includes a guide rail 95 extending in the vertical direction, and the slide 93 slides in cooperation with the guide rail 95, thereby providing guidance for the movement of the slide 93 in the vertical direction and improving the stability of the flip.

[0053] Continue as Figure 1 As shown, a weighing mechanism 10 is also provided on one side of the vehicle body 1. The weighing mechanism 10 can be folded and connected to the vehicle body 1, and a storage slot 11 adapted to the weighing mechanism 10 is provided on the vehicle body 1. The weighing mechanism 10 can be snapped into the storage slot 11. The design of the weighing mechanism 10 is reasonable, which can optimize space utilization, reduce the volume of the medical waste vehicle, and enhance the overall aesthetics of the medical waste vehicle. Furthermore, during the operation of the medical waste vehicle, snapping the weighing mechanism 10 into the storage slot 11 can effectively prevent it from being damaged by external collisions. The specific structure of the weighing mechanism 10 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0054] In addition, a label printer is installed inside the side wall of the vehicle body 1, and a label outlet 12 is opened on the surface of the vehicle body 1. By setting the label printer inside the side wall of the vehicle body 1, the volume of the medical waste vehicle can be further reduced and the overall aesthetics of the medical waste vehicle can be enhanced. The labels printed by the label printer are output from the label outlet 12, making it convenient for staff to pick them up.

[0055] In this embodiment, a touch screen 15 is also provided on one side of the vehicle body 1. The touch screen 15 is communicatively connected to the weighing mechanism 10, the label printer, and the lifting mechanism 4. When medical waste needs to be recycled, the staff clicks the corresponding storage command on the touch screen 15, and the weighing mechanism 10 weighs the medical waste. The label printer can print relevant information such as weight, time, or type of contents into a label output. The staff can easily take the label from the label outlet 12 and affix it to the surface of the medical waste. After receiving the command, the lifting mechanism 4 automatically enters the recycling mode. The first driving component 42 drives the carrier component 41 to automatically move to the appropriate position, and the third detection component 7... The system detects whether an object is near the top of the first storage box 2, and the first detection element 47 detects whether there is a sharps container 100 at the current lifting position. When the staff holds the sharps container 100 near the top of the first storage box 2, the corresponding first cover 3 opens under the joint detection of the third detection element 7 and the first detection element 47. At this time, the sharps container 100 can be placed into the corresponding internal storage space. After placement, the corresponding first cover 3 closes automatically. Subsequently, whenever a sharps container 100 is to be placed, the corresponding first cover 3 opens automatically. After the sharps container 100 is placed, the lifting mechanism 4 automatically moves it to the appropriate position until the space is full. Similarly, when it is necessary to remove the sharps box 100 from the first storage box 2, the staff clicks the corresponding removal command on the touch screen 15, the first cover 3 opens automatically, and the carrier 41 lifts the sharps box 100 until it stops at the set reasonable position. After the staff removes the sharps box 100, the carrier 41 continues to rise and lifts the next sharps box 100 to the reasonable position and stops. This process is repeated until all the sharps boxes 100 are removed.

[0056] Furthermore, the bottom of the vehicle body 1 is equipped with casters 13, and a handle 14 is provided on one side of the vehicle body 1, making it convenient for staff to push the medical waste vehicle to the designated location. Among them, the casters 13 are equipped with a foot brake device. After the medical waste vehicle reaches the designated location, the casters 13 are locked by the foot brake, which can prevent the medical waste vehicle from moving.

[0057] Furthermore, this embodiment also provides a medical waste collection device, including a mobile robot and a sorting and recycling medical waste vehicle as described in any of the above embodiments. The bottom of the vehicle body 1 can be adapted to the mounting end of the mobile robot. The medical waste vehicle, as an accessory to the mobile robot, can be detachably connected to the mobile robot. The mobile robot is used to drive the vehicle body 1 to move between various stages of the medical waste recycling process, thereby realizing the automatic collection of medical waste and making the medical waste collection process more in line with the regulatory process of the National Health Commission for medical waste recycling. By applying the above-mentioned sorting and recycling medical waste vehicle, refined management of medical waste can be achieved, recycling and processing efficiency can be improved, the risk of cross-contamination can be reduced, and it is easy to pick up and put down, improving space utilization and ensuring public health and safety.
