Abstract

The E.S.S. It is an access control device designed to, at the same time, measure the temperature, verify the use of a mask and disinfect the hands of the person entering a room, in order to avoid contagion of diseases such as COVID-19 or the flu, thanks to prevention. For this, it uses a thermographic camera (1), a screen (2) that allows the visualization of the temperature and the use of a mask on the subject, a hydroalcoholic gel dispenser (3) and a structural pedestal with a base (4).

Description

DESCRIPTION

HEALTH SECURITY STATION OR E.S.S.

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present invention belongs to the field of access control equipment for premises and more specifically to fever detection and hand disinfection devices.

The main object of the present invention is a single device that prevents contagion by COVID-19 and other infectious diseases, since it warns of a person's temperature before entering an enclosure, whether or not they are wearing a mask, and that in turn, dispenses hydroalcoholic gel.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Due to contagious diseases by contact, vapors or exhaled fluids such as the classic flu or the new COVID-19, the places where more than one person meets outside the home, constitute a large niche of infections. Therefore, prevention becomes the best tool to combat the transmission of these germs and thus avoid the danger of spreading the disease.

Current procedures are basically based on physical barriers such as a simple safety distance or safety screens, which are insufficient to prevent contagion by vaporization and floating movement of exhaled particles. Another of the procedures is the use of rudimentary and ineffective temperature measurement devices, such as pistol thermometers, since they are managed by the shop workers themselves or, sometimes, even by the clients or users themselves. This compromises personal safety since these are mechanisms that pass from hand to hand and whose operation is sometimes unknown to the user, causing confusion, delays, loss of time and overloading the device.

To these disadvantages, it is necessary to add that these procedures and devices are usually physically separated from each other, which makes the person go to different points causing a greater journey, a fact that increases the chances of contagion.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

With the Health Security Station or E.S.S., we bring together several solutions in one device, and add other functions that considerably increase the probability of infection avoidance.

It is a vertical support made up of an access control screen with a thermographic camera and a hydroalcoholic gel dispenser.

The main advantages of this invention are summarized as follows:

• The device, which is multifunctional, occupies very little physical space.

• Contains the function of fever detection before entering the interior of the enclosure, thus preventing a person potentially transmitting contagious diseases from spreading the disease. In addition, it does so at a distance of between 0.5 meters and 1.5 meters, which avoids the manipulation of the measurement system.

• Contains the function of detecting the use of a facial mask.

• Automatically warns of the above functions via audio and visual.

• Includes a hydroalcoholic gel dispenser, which allows the subject's hands to be disinfected.

• Due to the automation of its functions, the venue does not depend on a person who constantly controls the temperature of the attendees, who checks if they are wearing a mask, or who has to be dispensing the disinfectant manually; This prevents a worker from wasting time performing these functions and exposing himself to contact with possible infected people.

• The procedure is carried out very smoothly due to the speed of temperature detection, which is executed in tenths of a second, since all the functions are gathered in the same place, which avoids queues and wasted time when accessing the premises. .

The basic steps of a procedure for using the device object of the invention are described below:

• At the entrance to the enclosure, where the device will be positioned, the person stands in front of it at a distance of between 0.5 and 1.5 metres.

• Instant detection of temperature and use of face mask and notification by the device that both conditions are optimal or not.

• Use of hydroalcoholic gel for hand disinfection.

• Access to the venue having passed the most effective prevention measures.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, a set of drawings is attached as an integral part of said description, where for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following has been represented: following:

Figure 1.- Shows a front view of the device of the invention.

Figure 2.- Shows a side view of the device of the invention.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the aforementioned figures and according to the adopted numbering, the embodiment of the invention can be observed, which comprises the parts and elements that are indicated and described in detail below.

• The pedestal (4) is made up of a base and an elongated metal body, which serves as a structure to anchor the screen (2) with its thermographic camera (1) at the upper end, as well as the hydroalcoholic gel dispenser (3). ) at its mean height.

• The thermographic camera (1), located in the highest part, is responsible for capturing not only the image of the subject but also the temperature of his face. It does not matter if the person wears a mask when measuring their temperature, since the camera focuses, above all, on the region of the forehead and eyes. In addition, the camera is capable of differentiating between the temperature of the subject's face and the temperature of other objects around it, so The environment does not influence the measurement.

• The screen (2) shows the image and the temperature of the person and warns if it exceeds the limit for which it is considered that they have a fever. In addition, in the event that we activate its corresponding function, it will also notify you if you are wearing a mask or not.

• The hydroalcoholic gel dispenser (3) is used so that the person, while going through the access control in front of the thermographic camera, disinfects their hands at the time. Said dispenser can be either automatic or manual.

An example of the industrial application of the Health Security Station is its application at the entrance of nursing homes, a group with a very high risk of contagion in society.

Thus, installing an E.S.S. When accessing these premises, we can ensure that both workers and visitors have a temperature below what is considered feverish, that they wear a mask and that they disinfect their hands. In this way, in the event that someone does not wear a mask, they can be urged to use it, or if someone presents symptoms of fever due to high temperature, they can be referred to the doctor to preserve the health of the residents. and thus drastically reduce the risk of infection and contagion of others, prioritizing prevention, well-being and safety of those present and of the population in general, and of residents in particular.

Claims (2)

1. Device for the prevention of contagion by infectious diseases such as COVID-19, called the Sanitary Security Station or E.S.S. 2. Device 1 according to claim 1, which claims ownership of the invention on the basis that it is the only device capable of simultaneously combining the functions of detecting the fever of the person who accesses a room with a thermographic camera (1), remember the obligation to wear a safety mask (2), and supply hand sanitizer with a dispenser (3) in order to kill the germs that may be carried on them.
