Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a cryogenic cooling treatment room used for whole-body cooling treatment to cool patients with rheumatism or lower back pain, etc., and specifically, it solves the inconvenience caused by freezing in the treatment room. It is something.

Cryo-exercise therapy is known as a treatment for rheumatism, etc., in which the patient's affected area is temporarily paralyzed by cooling it with cryogenic cold air, and then the patient is actively exercised. This is based on cryo-exercise therapy that cools the whole body without relying on local cooling.

In other words, it is a method in which the patient is completely naked or half-naked and exposed to an extremely low temperature atmosphere of -100°C or less to cool the whole body, and then the patient is made to actively exercise.It is a local cooling method that uses factors such as applying a strong cold stimulus. It has a superior therapeutic effect compared to

Of course, this whole-body cooling treatment method requires creating an environment where the patient must be placed in an extremely low temperature atmosphere, but due to the fact that the patient's whole body is exposed to extremely low temperatures, sufficient consideration must be given to patient safety. I have to.

However, in devices such as this type that utilize extremely low temperatures, inconveniences due to atmospheric freezing become a major problem.

For example, if the door becomes difficult to open due to ice formation, this could lead to an unexpected accident if the patient must be taken out of the room urgently, and the patient's movements during cooling treatment must be constantly monitored through the viewing window. However, if this viewing window becomes cloudy due to freezing, it not only makes complete monitoring impossible, but also has drawbacks such as making patients feel uneasy because they cannot see what is going on outside the room.

This invention aims to solve this problem, and its features include an insulated patient access door,
The observation window of the insulated cryogenic cooling treatment room is equipped with a monitoring window, lighting, communication equipment, and cooling equipment that cools the room to a cryogenic temperature using the cold of low-temperature liquefied gas. It is structured in multiple layers, with a fumarole pipe having a large number of jetting nozzles in the upper part between the double layers and an exhaust hole in the lower part, and a hollow pipe is covered at the contact part of the door frame of the entrance/exit layer. The cryogenic cooling treatment room is configured such that a gasket is interposed therebetween and heated air is supplied to the fumarole pipe and the hollow pipe.

The embodiments of the present invention will be explained with reference to the figures below. In Fig. 1, 1 is an insulated treatment room, 2 is an insulated access layer, 3 is a viewing window for monitoring the patient's movement from outside, and 4 is an insulated treatment room. is the lighting, and 5 and 6 are the microphone and speaker.

Next, reference numeral 7 is a cold air outlet, and the cold air from a low temperature air generator that cools compressed dry air with a low temperature liquefied gas such as liquid nitrogen to produce extremely low temperature air of about -180°C is supplied to the lower blowout lower. The air is sent from the supply pipes 8 and 9 to the header 10, and is supplied via each branch pipe 11 to be blown into the room.

Note that 12 is an external exhaust pipe located at the top of the treatment room 1, and 13 is a blowhole provided at the bottom of the treatment room 1. The blowhole 13 is connected to a damper 15 and a blower 16 through a blowpipe 14, and a portion of the cold air is sucked into the blower 16. The cooled air then joins with the supplied cold air and is ejected again.

FIGS. 3 and 4 are detailed views of the monitoring viewing window, in which transparent plates 21 and 22 made of, for example, acrylic are fitted into a window frame 23 with appropriate gaps to form a double-layered window.

Further, a heated air blow pipe 26 having a large number of jet nozzles 25 is provided above the gap 24 formed by the transparent plates 21 and 22, and the iron pipe 26 passes through the window frame 23 and serves as a heated air supply pipe. It is connected with 27.

Furthermore, an exhaust mechanism such as a large number of exhaust holes 28 is provided in the transparent plate on the outdoor side in the lower part of the gap 24, so that the heated air jetted into the gap 24 from the jet nozzle 25 can flow through the gap 24. By configuring the heating to be discharged from the exhaust hole 28, it is possible to prevent the viewing window from fogging up due to freezing.

Next, FIGS. 5 and 6 show an embodiment for preventing inconveniences such as inability to open the door due to freezing of the entrance/exit layer.
An anti-icing gasket 32 is interposed at the contact portion with the door 2.

The anti-icing packing 32 is, for example, a hollow pipe 33 covered with a packing 34, and by supplying heated air to the hollow pipe 33, it is possible to eliminate freezing at the contact portion of the door.

If the door is to be closed by the adsorption action of a magnet, a magnet may be provided at the contact portion with the anti-icing gasket 32 of the door.

Furthermore, the prevention of freezing of doors is not limited to only doors for entry and exit, but can also be applied to iron doors when providing doors for emergency escape.

As explained above, the present invention uses heated air to prevent freezing caused by extremely low temperatures.The heated air is air sucked through a blower, heated by a heater, and then passed through a supply pipe. supply

Also, a part of the compressed dry air that becomes cold air can be heated and used, and in this case, a heater for heating after the operation of the apparatus is completed can be used as a heating source.

According to the cryogenic cooling treatment room according to the present invention, it is possible to easily prevent the viewing window from fogging due to freezing by a simple means, so that the patient can be completely monitored and is highly safe.

Furthermore, preventing the door from freezing can eliminate unexpected accidents in an emergency, and together with preventing the viewing window from fogging up, it helps relieve the patient's anxiety.
