In the 2nd isolator of the present invention, as shown in figure 11, formation has the sterilizing room (10) of air entry (11) and air vent (12) in cupboard 1, is provided with HEPA filter (3) (3) in the mode of blocking air entry (11) and air vent (12) respectively in sterilizing room (10).
Then, in sterilizing room (10), clip each HEPA filter (3) and be equipped with two uviol lamps (8) (8) in both sides respectively.
In addition, in sterilizing room (10), be connected with the hydrogen peroxide supply pipe (21) of hydrogen peroxide generator (2), between air vent (12) and HEPA filter (3), be provided with the ozone, the hydrogen peroxide that comprise active carbon etc. and remove filter (4).
Further, in sterilizing room (10), be equipped with the sensor unit (9) of detected temperatures, humidity, concentration of hydrogen peroxide etc., its detection signal is supplied to control device (7), controls hydrogen peroxide generator (2), uviol lamp (8) etc. by this control device (7).
As Figure 12 and shown in Figure 13, have the length longer slightly respectively at two uviol lamps (8) (8) that are equipped with up and down of HEPA filter (3) than the width of HEPA filter (3), its both ends are supported by reciprocating conveyor structure (81) (81).
Two sides along HEPA filter (3) moves back and forth two uviol lamps (8) (8) by the driving of reciprocating conveyor structure (81) (81), to the two sides irradiation ultraviolet of HEPA filter (3).
In above-mentioned isolator, in order to implement processing shown in Figure 14 to sterilizing in the sterilizing room (10).As shown in the figure, at first, from hydrogen peroxide generator (2) to sterilizing room (10) internal spraying hydrogen peroxide gas or mist and the sterilization process of sterilizing in beginning sterilizing room (10), after closing to an end preceding or finish, it opens all uviol lamps (8) immediately, this uviol lamp (8) is moved back and forth, come two sides irradiation ultraviolet HEPA filter (3).
Then, after sterilization process finished, beginning and same gas displacement in the past finished ultraviolet irradiation and gas displacement afterwards.
Like this, after sterilization process begins, by from the two sides irradiation ultraviolet of uviol lamp (8), thereby make action of ultraviolet radiation in attached to the hydrogen peroxide on the HEPA filter (3) to HEPA filter (3).Its result, the mode shown in Figure 15 (b), hydrogen peroxide is subjected to action of ultraviolet ray and generates oxygen and water, thereby realizes hydrogen peroxide is implemented harmless treatment.
Therefore, finish at short notice as the gas displacement behind the sterilization process of Figure 10 (a), the needed time of sterilizing shortens with comparing in the past significantly.
This also is possible in the isolator of as shown in figure 19 sterilization cycle formula, can carry out irradiation according to the adhesion condition that HEPA filter (3) (3) is gone up hydrogen peroxide.The order of adhering to from big to small that HEPA filter (3) (3) is gone up hydrogen peroxide is: the face of the sterilizing room side of the face of the air-breathing oral-lateral of air-breathing oral-lateral HEPA filter (3), the face of sterilizing room side, exhaust side HEPA filter (3), the face of exhaust side, therefore preferably carry out harmless treatment, more preferably preferentially the face of the air-breathing oral-lateral of air-breathing oral-lateral HEPA filter (3) is carried out harmless treatment according to adhering to order.
