Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention is intended to suppress atopic diseases derived from house mites, and therefore, to improve atopic diseases such as house mites and their deaths from house mite supply media such as bedding and furniture ( The present invention relates to a hygienic treatment method for suppressing atopic diseases, which is designed to remove allergens), and a device for eliminating and eliminating house mites for that purpose.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Three atopic diseases, bronchial asthma, atopic dermatitis, and nasal allergy have been confirmed since the 1920s, and recently, allergens such as house mites and house dust have been identified. It turns out that it has a lot to do with existence. In particular, it has been proved that about 70% of atopic diseases are derived from house mites, and elimination of house mites has become an extremely important issue.
Therefore, bedding cloths and jutans, which are said to have a tick-proofing effect, have been developed and commercialized, and a tick-proof futon dryer that defeats beddings and jutans by heat and drying has been developed and marketed. I am.

[0003]

However, the conventional cloths and futon dryers having such a mites-preventing effect have been pointed out to have various problems and are not satisfactory. Cloths with an anti-mite effect are those that try to prevent the ingress and egress of mites by finely knitting the fibers.
As the bedding was used more frequently, the yarn of the fiber was elongated, and as a result, the stitches were expanded, and the initial effect of preventing the mites from entering and exiting was lost sooner or later.
In addition, attempts have been made to prevent the mites from dwelling as cloths having an effect of preventing ticks, but the bedding made of them is not desirable because it may have an adverse effect on the human body.

Next, a commercially available futon dryer for preventing mites kills mites in the futon with warm air of 50 ° C. or higher. Certainly the mite dies by heat, but the carcass remains in the futon. For this reason,
Although the mites can be eliminated, the dead bodies of mites, which are atopic disease exacerbating factors, remain, so there is little effect in terms of the suppressive effect on atopic diseases. On the contrary, carcasses of ticks are more likely to fly up from the futon, and rather the involvement rate with the patient both percutaneously and through the respiratory tract increases, and there is concern that the disease will worsen.

The inventor of the present invention has the idea that if the atopic disease is caused by and exacerbated by mites, no symptoms should be produced by living in a mites-free environment, which is the main factor. It was developed. That is, the inventor not only researches how to use therapeutic drugs such as steroids,
From the idea that removal of these environmental factors is also important for treatment and prevention, as a result of further research, it was found that the dead carcass of mite is more involved than the living mite as a factor contributing to atopic disease. I found that. It is because the carcasses of ticks are easily fragmented, and dead house mites easily fly up because they do not cling to the supply medium, and the carcasses are associated with decay, which is a malicious contribution to atopic diseases. This is probably because it is a factor. Therefore, in order to suppress atopic diseases, it is not enough to kill house mites in the house mite supply medium as in the past,
We have found that it is important to completely remove the carcass. The present invention is a hygiene treatment method for controlling atopic disease of a house mite supply medium and an extermination / exclusion device for house mites, etc. developed based on such new knowledge, thereby suppressing atopic disease more than ever before. The purpose is to give the effect of doing.

[0006]

Means for achieving the above object are as follows. First attempt to obtain a patent
The invention is to put a house mite supply medium such as bedding and furniture in a sealed bag-shaped container body, and then gas such as air or gas heated to a temperature of 50 ° C. or higher in the bag-shaped container body. By injecting and killing house mites that have settled in the house mite supply medium by heating and sucking out the gas in the bag-shaped container body and discharging it to the outside from the house mite supply medium and its surroundings. Atopic disease exacerbating factors such as house mites and their mortalities from house mite supply media by eliminating dust such as mites and their mortalities, and repeating the heating insecticidal treatment and dust eliminating treatment alternately several times as required. A sanitary treatment method for controlling atopic diseases of a house mite supply medium, which is characterized in that (allergen) is removed.

[0007] The present invention has found that the dead carcasses of mite are more significantly involved than the living mites as the atopic disease-related factors (allergens). It is a new treatment method developed based on the finding that it is not enough to kill house mites in the medium for feeding house mites, and it is more important to completely remove the carcass.

As shown in FIG. 4, mites cannot rapidly survive at temperatures of 50 ° C. or higher, and 6 at 50 ° C.
Most of them die after 0 minutes, and this is 60 ° C
It will die in less than 40 minutes. Therefore, if a gas such as air or gas heated to a temperature of 50 ° C. or higher is injected into the bag-shaped container and the house mite supply medium is heated to 50 ° C. or higher, the house mite will die and become a supply medium. After that, if it is sucked and a negative pressure is applied to the inside of the bag-shaped container, house mites are removed in a state of being sucked by a vacuum cleaner. By repeating this several times as necessary, the atopic disease-related factors were completely removed from the house mite supply medium such as bedding and furniture, and the symptoms were significantly reduced even in relatively severe patients. .

In particular, according to the present invention, a house mite supply medium such as bedding and furniture is placed in a hermetically sealed bag-shaped container body and heated gas is supplied under pressure to form a bag-shaped container body. Since it blows up the air, or sucks and crushes warm gas from the bag-shaped container, the stored medium such as a futon can change the pressure and shape of the futon to almost all the mites and their dead bodies in the deep area. Can be completely removed.

A second invention to be patented is a bag-shaped container body which is formed by using an airtight material having plasticity and has an inlet portion which can be hermetically sealed, and is attached to the bag-shaped container body. A gas pressure supply device with a heating device that can inject gas such as air and gas that has been heated to a temperature at which house mites die, and gas suction that can suck and discharge the gas inside the bag-shaped container body to the outside It is an extermination / elimination device for house mites and the like, which comprises an exhaust device and a control unit capable of controlling operation, stop, switching, and temperature management of these heating device, gas pressurizing supply device, and gas suction / exhaust device. The heated gas or the like in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it is an insecticidal gas having a function of early killing mites.

In a third invention to be granted a patent, a gas pressurizing / supplying device with a heating device, a gas suction / exhausting device, and a control unit are integrated, and the gas is pressurized by operating the control unit. The device for eliminating and eliminating house mites and the like according to the second aspect of the invention, which intends to receive a patent, characterized in that it is a dual-purpose machine that switches between supply and suction discharge. A feature of the device is that it can perform both pressure supply and suction discharge for downsizing.

A sanitary treatment method for controlling atopic diseases of a house mite supply medium, which is characterized by the above. The steps will be described below.

First, a house mite supply medium such as bedding and furniture is put in a bag-shaped container body, and the entrance is tightly closed with a stopper so that the bag-shaped container body is in a closed state. Next, the gas pressure supply device 8 with a heating device is actuated to inject a gas such as air or gas heated to a temperature of 50 ° C. or higher into the bag-shaped container body to supply house mite supply medium. Try to kill the house mites that have settled in by heating.

Next, the gas suction / exhaust device 9 is actuated, and the gas in the bag-shaped container is sucked together with dust such as house dust and carcasses of ticks and discharged to the outside. This removes dust such as house mites and their dying from the house mite supply medium and its surroundings. Such heating insecticidal treatment and dust removal treatment are alternately repeated a plurality of times. About 30
After 40 minutes, the house mite supply medium such as bedding and furniture stored will be almost completely heated to 50 ° C.
When heated to the above temperature, house mites die almost completely.
Moreover, immediately after that, the gas in the bag-shaped container is sucked and removed, so that the atopic disease exacerbating factors (allergens) such as house mites and their mortality can be almost completely removed from the house mite supply medium.

At this time, it is desirable that the exhaust gas be discharged outdoors so that no atopic disease exacerbating factor (allergen) remains indoors. However, if that is difficult, it goes without saying that the atopic disease exacerbating factor (allergen) may be removed from the exhaust through a filter or the like. When a patient with a relatively high IgE value of mites was left to sleep for 2 weeks on a futon that had been subjected to heat insecticidal treatment and dust removal treatment in this way, atopic diseases (atopic dermatitis and atopic asthma) It showed remarkable recovery and was able to control atopic diseases caused by house mites.
