Automatic medical waste sorting equipment

Abstract

This invention discloses an automatic medical waste sorting device, comprising a main body, multiple collection bins, a processing module, a dispensing module, an image acquisition module, and a reading module. The main body has an inlet. The processing module is electrically connected to the image acquisition module and the reading module. The image acquisition module captures images of the medical waste passing through the inlet to generate image information. The processing module operates an AI recognition model to identify the type of medical waste in the image information and generate type information. The reading module reads the readable information of the medical waste passing through the inlet. Based on the type information and the reading information, the processing module controls the dispensing module to move the medical waste into the corresponding collection bin.
