The invention discloses a medical garbage can. The medical garbage can comprises a bottom plate, a convex plate, a reserved port, a vertical plate, hinges, a cover plate, an inductive controller, a small hydraulic machine, a hydraulic rod, a connecting piece and a guard bar; the convex plate is installed in the middle of the top of the bottom plate, the back portion of the bottom plate is connected with the bottom of the vertical plate, the cover plate is connected to the inner side of the top of the vertical plate through the hinges, the inductive controller is installed in the right side of the convex plate, the reserved port is integrally formed in the back side of the top of the convex plate, the small hydraulic machine is installed in the convex plate, the hydraulic rod arranged on the small hydraulic machine is connected with the connecting piece arranged at the bottom of the cover plate through the reserved port formed in the convex plate, the small hydraulic machine is electrically connected with the inductive controller and connected with a power supply, and when the inductive controller detects an object, the small hydraulic machine controls the hydraulic rod to rise upwards to jack the cover plate. According to the medical garbage can, the structure is simple, design is reasonable, the condition that medical personnel touch a garbage can cover with hands is avoided through an inductive switch, therefore, the bacterial infection possibility is reduced, and patients are in a safe environment.
