Description

  The present invention relates to an isolation unit for isolating an infectious disease patient or a pseudo patient, and more particularly to an isolation unit that can be easily installed in various facilities when pandemits occur.

  When pandemics of infectious diseases such as new influenza and SARS occur, in order to prevent the spread of infection, the infected patients and pseudo-patients suspected of being infected are isolated to reduce the chances of contact with healthy people and healthcare workers It is important to do so, and Patent Document 1 has a proposal for a hospital facility capable of such a response.

JP 2010-47940 A

In the event of a serious pandemic, it is assumed that facilities and equipment for isolating many patients or pseudo-patients will need to be secured not only in hospitals but also in general facilities such as public facilities and offices. However, even hospitals do not necessarily have sufficient pandemic measures, and even general facilities are unlikely to have any facilities in advance assuming a pandemic. This is considered extremely difficult.
Therefore, it is necessary to prepare various facilities for the occurrence of pandemic in various facilities such as hospitals and public facilities. In particular, there is an urgent need to establish an effective and appropriate method for urgently securing facilities and equipment for isolation. ing.

If isolation facilities are urgently installed in various facilities by a conventional general method, it is conceivable to assemble a simple work piece by a prefabricated method in a building to form an isolation room or an isolation zone.
However, although conventional prefab workpieces are simpler than full-scale buildings, their construction is not always easy, and each component is not necessarily small and lightweight. It is not practical for anyone who needs to carry in and assemble, and cannot be installed easily. Therefore, it cannot be urgently handled when a pandemic occurs, and it is not realistic. Also, when dismantling and removing the prefabricated work after the end of the pandemic, dismantling and unloading work by specialists is also necessary, and in that case, complicated work such as appropriate disinfection is also necessary Also, dismantling and removal is not easy.

  In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide an effective and suitable isolation unit that can be easily installed in various facilities when a pandemic occurs and can be easily disassembled and removed after the end of the pandemic.

The present invention is a frame assembled to a Installation possible isolation unit for various facility to isolate infected patients or pseudo patient, connecting the strut member and the beam member via a joint member, the frame the outer peripheral portion and / or internally mounted Ri name constituted by an isolation sheet defining a isolated space in the frame, consists of the strut member and the beam member are both tubing, said joint member difference The strut member, the beam member, and the joint member are each composed of a paper tube, and a string is incorporated in a joint portion of the strut member, the beam member, and the joint member, and / or the strut member. Further, a perforation or a break line is formed in advance in the beam member and the joint member, and the joint portion of the column member, the beam member, and the joint member is configured to be breakable .

  In addition, the strut member is connected to an expansion / contraction member with a built-in push spring so that the strut member is pressed against the floor surface and the ceiling surface and installed in a self-supporting state, or the strut member and the beam members or the beam members are diagonal. It is also conceivable to link them with each other.

The isolation sheet in the present invention is preferably made of a film material or paper material, and the isolation sheet may be attached as a curtain that can be opened and closed at the entrance / exit position of the frame.
In addition, it is conceivable that an isolation sheet is mounted on the upper part of the frame as a ceiling surface, and it is also conceivable that the isolation sheet is installed in the frame as a partition curtain.

The isolation unit of the present invention can be easily installed by anyone by simply connecting the column member and the beam member via the joint member to assemble the frame, and attaching the isolation sheet to it, and anyone after the end of the pandemic Can be easily dismantled and removed.
Therefore, the isolation unit of the present invention can be installed quickly and at a sufficiently low cost in various facilities such as hospitals when a pandemic occurs, and by using this as a waiting room or a passage for a patient room, a treatment room or a patient, etc. Since a sufficient isolation effect can be obtained, it can contribute to the prevention of pandemic expansion and is extremely effective as a pandemic countermeasure.

One embodiment of the isolation unit of the present invention is shown in FIGS.
The isolation unit of the present embodiment is simply installed in a hospital, various public facilities, or general facilities such as offices when an infectious disease pandemic occurs, and is for accommodating and isolating infected patients or pseudo patients. Isolation for accommodating and isolating a patient in the frame 1 by attaching the isolation sheet 10 as shown in FIG. 3 around the frame 1 of the form shown in FIGS. The main chamber 20 as a space and its front chamber 21 are partitioned.

The frame 1 according to the present embodiment includes a support member 2, a beam member 3 installed vertically and horizontally between upper end portions and lower end portions of the support member 2, and a joint member 4 that connects the support member 2 and the beam member 3. It is assembled by.
The strut member 2, the beam member 3, and the joint member 4 in the present embodiment are all formed using a paper tube having a circular cross section (so-called reinforced paper tube) having a small diameter and sufficiently light weight but sufficient strength, As shown in FIG. 2, anyone can easily connect the column member 2 and the beam member 3 to each other via a joint member 4 as an insertion pipe joint without requiring any special device or instrument. It can be assembled and can be easily disassembled.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 10, two short tubular expansion / contraction members 6 having a built-in push spring 5 are attached to the upper end portion of the column member 2, and the upper end of the expansion / contraction member 6 and In a state where the lower end of the column member 2 is pressed against both the ceiling surface and the floor surface via the support plate 7 (that is, the column member 2 is stretched between the ceiling surface and the floor surface by the elastic member 6). In the state), the column member 2 itself is installed in a stable and independent state.
In order to secure the horizontal rigidity of the entire frame 1, it is preferable to arrange the beam members 3 between the upper end portions and between the lower end portions of each column member 2. Then, if the beam member 3 is provided between the lower end portions of the support column members 1 on both sides, it becomes a hindrance to traffic. Therefore, it is preferable to omit the beam member 3 there as in the illustrated example.

Frames to be assembled by preparing in advance various lengths, diameters, and thicknesses of the column members 2, beam members 3, joint members 4, and expansion members 6 based on predetermined standards. The optimal size and shape may be selected and used according to the shape, size, and form of 1. In addition, when it is necessary to use the long column member 2 or the beam member 3, a plurality of unit members having a unit length having a socket joint may be used together as shown in FIG.
In particular, as shown in FIG. 1, the joint member 4 is configured such that one beam member 3 is connected to the column member 2 in one direction, and the two beam members 3 are L in two orthogonal directions. In addition to preparing the frame 1, the two beam members 3 linearly connecting in two directions, the three beam members 3 connecting in three directions in a T shape, and the frame 1 Appropriate forms of joint members required depending on the form and scale, for example, those that connect four beam members 3 in four directions in a cross shape, and those that connect the beam members 3 to the column member 1 in an orthogonal state What is necessary is just to prepare what connects diagonally at a predetermined angle.

As the separating sheet 10 to be mounted on the frame 1, a sheet having a shape and size corresponding to the standard of the frame 1 is prepared in advance, and a sheet that conforms to the configuration of the frame 1 is selected and used. It may be transparent, translucent, or opaque, and may have an appropriate color pattern or design, and if necessary in accordance with disaster prevention regulations, apply incombustible treatment, flame retardant treatment, and flameproof treatment. It ’s fine.
As an isolation sheet, an appropriate material can be adopted as long as it has an isolation performance against bacteria and viruses and has a strength that does not cause inadvertent breakage. A paper material can be suitably employed. However, the separation sheet 10 is preferably one that can be incinerated after dismantling and removal, and for that purpose, it is preferably a flammable material and one that does not generate harmful gases during incineration. Even when the flameproofing treatment is performed, it is preferable that the incineration disposal is not hindered.

  Although the separation sheet 10 can be attached to the frame 1 as appropriate, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the separation sheet 10 is placed at the entrance to the front chamber 21 and the entrance to the main chamber 20 from the front chamber 21. It is installed as a curtain 10a that can be opened and closed in a double-opening manner, and an isolation sheet 10 is fixedly installed as a wall surface 10b on each outer peripheral surface (both sides and rear surface) of the frame 1.

In order to install the isolation sheet 10 at the entrance and exit as a curtain 10a, a ring-shaped or hook-shaped runner may be attached to the upper edge of the isolation sheet 10 and the beam member 3 may be used as it is as a curtain rail.
In order to sufficiently secure the isolation effect, it is also preferable that the gap between the isolation sheet 10 as the curtain 10a and the floor surface or the frame 1 is minimized and sufficiently wrapped. Further, it is preferable that the curtain 10a is always closed with a fastener or the like so that the curtain 10a is not inadvertently opened.

In order to install the isolation sheet 10 as the wall surface 10b in a fixed manner, for example, the peripheral edge of the isolation sheet 10 may be bonded to the column member 2 or the beam member 3 with an adhesive tape or adhesive. A method may be considered in which a double-sided tape is attached in advance to the peripheral edge of the isolation sheet 10 and the release sheet is adhered while peeling.
Alternatively, as another method, as shown in FIG. 4, it is conceivable to lock the peripheral edge portion of the isolation sheet 10 serving as the wall surface 10 b with the appropriate clip 11 so as to be wound around the column member 2 or the beam member 3. .
Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 5, it is conceivable to form a sleeve portion in advance on the peripheral edge portion of the isolation sheet 10 and assemble the frame 1 while passing the column member 2 and the beam member 3 therethrough, or After assembling, the sleeve 10 may be formed by attaching the isolation sheet 10 and winding the column member 2 or the beam member 3 around the periphery thereof.
More simply, it is also conceivable to attach the isolation sheet 10 to each outer peripheral surface of the frame 1 in the same form as the curtain 10a. In that case, not only the upper part of the isolation sheet 10 as the wall surface 10 b but also the lower part and the side part may be supported and attached to the beam member 3 by the runner.

In this type of isolation unit, as the isolation effect sufficient to prevent the spread of contamination by splashing is obtained only by attaching the isolation sheet 10 to the entrance / exit of the frame 1 and the surrounding wall surface as described above, Although it is sufficient, if necessary, an isolation sheet serving as a ceiling surface may be attached to the upper part of the frame 1.
In that case, the peripheral edge of the separation sheet 10 is adhered to the beam member 3 on the upper part of the frame 1 or attached using the clip 11 in the same manner as in the case of the wall surface 10b on the ceiling surface. What is necessary is just to mount | wear in the state which made the beam member 3 penetrated by making the peripheral part of 10 into a sleeve part.
It is also conceivable that the isolation sheet 10 as the ceiling surface can be opened and closed. In that case, the isolation sheet 10 is installed in the form of a curtain that can be opened and closed horizontally, or the isolation sheet that becomes the ceiling surface 10c as shown in FIG. Accordion curtain using a separating sheet 10 having an appropriate rigidity such as corrugated cardboard as shown in FIG. What is necessary is just to install as the ceiling surface 10c which can be expand | deployed and foldable like this.

Based on the above configuration, the isolation unit of the present embodiment assembles the frame 1 by connecting the small-diameter and light-weight post member 2 made of a paper tube and the beam member 3 through the joint member 4, and the film 1 or Anyone who is not a specialist can easily carry in, assemble and install the separator sheet 10 made of paper. Moreover, anyone can easily dismantle and remove after the end of the pandemic, and the dismantled and removed frame 1 and isolation sheet 10 can be incinerated as they are without requiring any particularly troublesome disinfection treatment.
Of course, the isolation unit according to the present embodiment is composed of the frame 1 made of a paper tube and the isolation sheet 10 made of a film material or paper material, so that it can be manufactured at a sufficiently low cost. However, since it does not require assembling, dismantling and disposal, the cost for installing it can be sufficiently low.
Therefore, the isolation unit of the present invention can be installed quickly and at a sufficiently low cost in various facilities such as hospitals when a pandemic occurs, and it can be sufficiently used by using it as a hospital room, a treatment room, a waiting room for a patient, a passage, etc. Therefore, it can contribute to prevention of pandemic expansion and is extremely effective as a pandemic countermeasure.

  If possible, it is preferable to air-condition and ventilate the inside of the isolation unit installed as described above independently from the outside, and maintain at least the inside of the isolation unit at a negative pressure from the outside to prevent bacteria and viruses. It is preferable that the exhaust from the isolation unit is subjected to a cleaning process after controlling so as to prevent leakage to the outside. It is also preferable to install an air purifier equipped with a HEPA filter in the isolation unit.

  Although the basic embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the above embodiment is merely a preferred example, and the present invention can be appropriately designed and modified as described below, for example.

In the above embodiment, each member constituting the frame 1 is formed by a paper tube having a circular cross section. However, the member is not limited to a circular cross section, and may be a square cross section. You may use it combining the member of a cross section.
In addition, other materials may be used in place of the paper tube as long as it has the same lightness and strength as a paper tube and can constitute a frame, but incineration disposal is possible considering the disposal after dismantling and removal. Metal materials and non-flammable resins that cannot be used are not preferable. For example, wood, flammable resins, or biodegradable plastics are preferably used.
When the isolation sheet 10 is mounted as a curtain, when the elastic member 6 as shown in FIG. 2 is used, or when the clip 11 as shown in FIG. 4 is used, the curtain runner or the elastic member 6 is used. Similarly, the built-in push spring 5 and clip 11 are preferably formed of flammable resin or biodegradable plastic.

In the above embodiment, the column member 2 is installed in a self-supporting state between the ceiling surface and the floor surface by the elastic member 6 with the built-in push spring 5, but the frame 1 itself can be stably installed on the floor surface. Alternatively, for example, when installing in a facility with a high ceiling such as a gymnasium, the telescopic member 6 may be omitted.
Further, the frame 1 can be a substantially simple frame structure to ensure a desired horizontal rigidity. However, if necessary to ensure the horizontal rigidity, the frame 1 and the column member 2 can be used as shown in FIGS. It is also conceivable to incorporate a brace, a cane, or a diagonal member 8 that functions as a fire beating between the beam members 3 or between the beam members 3. In this case, a joint member previously integrated at both ends may be used, such as the diagonal member 8 in the illustrated example, but the diagonal member 8 is a simple straight tubular member similar to the column member 2 and the beam member 3. It may be connected to the column member 2 and the beam member 3 through an appropriate joint member, or a cane and a diagonal material as a fire strike are integrated in advance with the joint member 4 in the above embodiment. It is also conceivable that a stiffener or a stiffener functioning as a fire stick is attached to the joint member.
Further, if necessary depending on the shape and size of the frame 1, another support member as an inter-column is disposed between the support members 2, or the support members 2 are connected by a horizontal member functioning as a trunk edge. It is also conceivable to construct other beam members as small beams between the beam members 3, and these frames may be prepared in advance, and the frame may be assembled while being assembled at a proper position.

The frame 1 can be easily and stably assembled simply by inserting the column member 2 and the beam member 3 into the joint member 4, and in this case, the disassembly of the frame 1 is also simply performed from the joint member 4 to the column member 2 and the beam. This can be done easily by simply pulling out the member 3, or it may be possible to bond the plug-in part.
In this case, the frame 1 can be assembled more firmly, but it may be somewhat difficult to disassemble, so if necessary, the main parts of the column member 2, the beam member 3, and the joint member 4, for example, as shown in FIG. The joint member 4 to which a large number of members are joined together and the joint portion of the long column member 2 are set as the dismantling scheduled position, and the disassembly string 9 is previously incorporated therein, and the disassembly string 9 is used when the frame 1 is disassembled. It is conceivable to tear each member so that it can be broken, and in this way, it is possible to easily dismantle, particularly at a site where a large number of three or more members are joined in a complex manner.
Further, instead of or in addition to incorporating such a dismantling string 9, it is also conceivable to previously form perforations and break lines for easily breaking the essential parts of each member.

In the above embodiment, the isolation sheet 10 installed at the entrance / exit position is mounted in the form of a curtain 10a. However, the curtain 10a may be an accordion type or may be opened and closed vertically such as a roll curtain or a blind. But it ’s okay.
In the above embodiment, the main chamber 20 and the front chamber 21 are provided in the isolation unit. Of course, the frame may be a single isolation space, or it may be divided more finely. For example, as shown in FIG. 11, it is conceivable to form the plurality of small sections 22 by installing the separation sheet 10 vertically and horizontally as a partition curtain 10d (including an accordion type curtain and a roll curtain) in the separation unit. . FIG. 11 shows an example in which a central section in the isolation unit is used as a passage and three sections on each side are divided into six sections 22 in total (separation sheets to be mounted around the doorway and the frame are not shown). However, an appropriate small section may be set according to the overall size of the isolation unit, the purpose of use, and the form of use.
In addition, as in the above-described embodiment, it is practical to provide an isolation sheet 10 on the entire outer surface of at least the frame 1 so that the entire inside of the frame 1 serves as an isolation space. A part or all of the isolation sheet 10 at the outer peripheral part of the frame 1 is omitted, and an isolation space is defined in a part of the frame 1 by the isolation sheet 10 installed inside the frame 1 and is opened in the frame 1. It is conceivable to secure a space and use it appropriately.

  The surface of each isolation sheet 10 (in particular, the inner surface on the isolation unit side) and the surface of each member constituting the frame 1 are adsorbed and fixed with bacteria and viruses attached thereto to prevent re-scattering. It is conceivable to apply a soil treatment. Specifically, antibodies or solidifying agents that solidify with moisture or moisture (lime, magnesium salts and oxides thereof, calcium salts and oxides thereof), or various humectants (sericin, serine, lecithin, etc.) are applied or By attaching them, bacteria and viruses can be adsorbed and fixed to them to prevent re-scattering, and contamination diffusion to the surroundings can be prevented.
