Walking Protect booth

The present invention relates to a walking protection booth, and more specifically, performs tasks such as treatment, examination, sample collection, and quarantine of patients without the need to wear protective equipment such as a separate mask and protective clothing in a space where infectious diseases are active It relates to a walking protection booth that protects the inspector so that the inspector can be safely protected from the source of infection, and in particular, the booth is linked with the inspector's walking to ensure the inspector's mobility and workability.

In general, infectious diseases refer to diseases that are contagious among diseases. Such an infectious disease is a disease caused by a specific pathogen or a toxic substance of a pathogen, and refers to a disease that is transmitted from an infected person to a susceptible host (human).

And the method of transmission of such infectious diseases is by human-to-human contact, food or drinking water, insect vectors, and transmission from animals to people.

Recently, the incidence of new and variant respiratory infections with high contagious power or pathogenicity, such as pandemic (worldwide pandemic) new influenza, H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza, and MERS, is increasing significantly.

For example, in infectious diseases such as the first swine influenza in the 21st century, the influenza virus, a pathogen, spreads into the air and penetrates the body with breathing. Influenza has a high fatality rate and high contagiousness, and there is a possibility of the emergence of a malignant strain, and it is difficult to predict accurately because the mutation is severe.

In addition, there is a trend of recording an unprecedented number of confirmed cases in a situation where the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is currently in a pandemic around the world. Each country is actively introducing measures to prevent further spread.

On the other hand, when an infectious disease occurs, all field personnel who treat, inspect, or control the site (hereinafter collectively referred to as the inspector) wear protective clothing to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases from patients with infectious diseases. The technology related to the protective clothing has been disclosed in Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2016-0078347.

Such protective clothing is characterized in that it is made in the form of clothing that completely covers the body.

However, since most of these protective clothing in the form of clothing are disposable, they cannot be reused if contamination occurs after being worn once, and since they are in the form of clothing, putting on and taking off the protective clothing may be cumbersome.

In addition, since it is in close contact with the body, it is difficult to control the body temperature of an examiner wearing a protective suit due to lack of breathability. There was a problem.

In addition, if the protective clothing contaminated with the infectious agent is taken off as it is, there is a concern that the infectious agent on the protective clothing may infect the worker during the process of taking off the protective clothing. , there is a high possibility of being contaminated with an infectious agent.

Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-2016-0078347

The present invention was created to solve the problems in the prior art, and there is no need to wear protective equipment such as a separate mask and protective clothing in a space where infectious diseases are active, treatment of patients, examination, sample collection, quarantine, etc. We provide a walking protection booth that protects inspectors so that they can be safely protected from the source of infection, and in particular, links the booth with the inspector's walking to ensure the inspector's mobility and workability. There is a purpose.

In addition, a transparent or translucent see-through window is formed on the upper end of the housing, a booth entrance is formed on the rear side, and a booth door for opening and closing the booth entrance is installed.

In addition, it characterized in that it further comprises a; docking station in which a positive pressure chamber is provided and a connection entrance connected to the booth entrance and exit of the working booth unit is formed on one side.

In addition, the docking station, but forming a positive pressure chamber and the waiting room, the docking container in which the connection entrance is formed on the partition wall surface; and a positive pressure forming unit configured to supply air to the positive pressure chamber to form a positive pressure.

In addition, when the working booth unit enters and exits the waiting room and the auxiliary export inlet contacts the connection inlet formed on the partition wall, the cabin and the positive pressure chamber of the working booth unit communicate with each other as a single space.

In addition, a first magnet member is formed on the outside of the booth door on the rear surface of the housing, and a second magnet member complementary to the first magnet member is formed on the outside of the connection entrance facing the housing.

In addition, the first magnet member is formed to surround the outside of the booth door in the form of a closing ring, the second magnet member is characterized in that it is formed to surround the outside of the connection entrance in the form of a closing ring.

The present invention has the following effects.

First, since the inspector does not need to wear protective equipment such as a separate mask and protective clothing, unnecessary fatigue reduction of the inspector can be prevented.

Second, since the inspector who has completed the work in the working booth unit moves only from the sterilized room to the sterilized positive pressure room when escaping from the room, the possibility that the inspector will be exposed to the source of infection while leaving the room can be excluded.

Third, it is possible to secure the mobility and workability of the inspector by configuring the working booth unit to be interlocked with the inspector's walking.

The present invention provides an examiner who performs tasks such as treatment, examination, sample collection, and quarantine of patients without needing to wear protective equipment such as a separate mask and protective clothing in a space where infectious diseases are active so that the examiner can be safely protected from the source of infection. In particular, the booth should be interlocked with the inspector's walking to ensure the inspector's mobility and workability.

To this end, the walking protection booth according to the present invention may be defined as largely including a working booth unit 100 and a docking station 200 as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 .

The working booth unit 100 is a place where an inspector is accommodated in order to be protected from an external source of infection, and is configured to ensure the inspector's walking and manual operation within a certain range.

The examiner moves while being located in the working booth unit 100, and may perform tasks such as sample collection, examination, and quarantine of the patient.

The inspector can be safely protected from the source of infection outside the working booth unit 100 through the working booth unit 100 without the need to wear a separate protective suit.

It is preferable that one inspector is accommodated inside one working booth unit 100, and this working booth unit 100 has a structure for walking and manual operation of the one accommodated inspector.

To this end, as shown in FIG. 2 , the working booth unit 100 includes a housing 110 in which a guest room 120 is provided, the lower part is opened, and the movable caster 130 is mounted at the lower end, the housing 110 . ) and integrated with the glove 140 and the shielding film 150 that closes the open lower end of the housing 110, and the shielding film 150, which is configured so that a hand can be put in the cabin 120, the housing ( It may be exemplified as including a boot 160 that is exposed to the outside of 110 and is in contact with the ground and is configured to put a foot in the cabin 120 .

The housing 110 may have a rectangular or cylindrical box structure with an empty interior, or may have a box structure similar to a person's anatomical appearance if necessary.

For example, the housing 110 may be made of a material that can be flexibly deformed in a line where the infectious agent does not penetrate into the cabin 120 , or may be designed similarly to a human joint structure to ensure the activity of the examiner.

The guest room 120 of the housing 110 may be configured as a sterile space cut off from the outside, and the examiner located in the guest room 120 may be physically isolated from an external source of infection without wearing a separate protective suit.

The movable caster 130 mounted on the lower end of the housing 110 ensures the movement of the working booth unit 100 . When the examiner walks in the guest room 120 , the walking booth unit 100 may be moved by the moving caster 130 in association with the examiner's walking direction.

The glove 140 is made of a material that an infectious agent cannot penetrate, such as latex or rubber, and may be mounted from the cabin 120 of the housing 110 toward the front outside of the housing 110 .

When the glove 140 is worn inside the cabin 120 , the examiner can operate the inspection tool on the outside of the housing 110 without unreasonableness.

The shielding film 150 and the boots 160 constitute the lower portion of the working booth unit 100 , and the lower portion of the cabin 120 may be sealed by the shielding film 150 and the boots 160 .

The boot 160 guarantees free movement of the lower body while disconnecting the examiner's lower body from the outside, similar to the purpose of the glove 140 .

The shielding film 150 may be made of a flexibly deformable elastic material, and may be configured to be widely spread from the upper periphery of the boot 160 toward the inner wall perimeter of the housing 110 .

In particular, as shown in FIG. 3 , when the inspector inside the cabin 120 walks while wearing the boots 160 , the shielding film 150 is interlocked with the moving boots 160 to be pulled or contracted freely. While allowing the examiner to roll while being stretched and deformed, the lower portion of the housing 110 may still be kept sealed by the shielding film 150 .

That is, when the inspector walks in the cabin and the boots 160 step on the ground, the walking booth unit 100 may move in association with the inspector's walking direction.

An air outlet may pass through one side of the housing 110 to introduce external air into the cabin 120 , and a filter 170 may be mounted at the air outlet.

The filter 170 can prevent an infectious agent from entering the guest room 120 while providing the air permeability of the guest room 120 .

In the case of infectious agents that cause respiratory diseases, most infections are caused by droplets floating in the air. By filtering the infectious agents floating in the air with the filter 170, the inspector located in the guest room 120 does not wear a separate respiratory mask. It can also be protected from infectious agents transmitted through the respiratory tract.

The filter 170 may be made of a known nonwoven filter within a range capable of filtering infectious agents floating in the air.

In addition, the air outlet may have a structure that allows replacement of the filter 170 whose durability has been reduced through repeated use.

A transparent or translucent see-through window 111 may be formed on the upper end of the housing 110 . Through the viewing window 111 , the examiner in the cabin 120 may secure a forward view.

The see-through window 111 may be formed on a portion of the upper front surface of the housing 110 , or the entire upper end may be configured to be transparent or translucent.

A booth entrance 180 may be formed on the rear surface of the housing 110 for an examiner to enter and a booth door 190 for opening and closing the booth entrance 180 may be installed.

The booth door 190 is configured in the form of a hinged door so that it can be opened and closed both inside and outside the cabin 120 . In addition, it is configured so that the inspector of the docking station 200 to be described later can open and close the booth door 190 of the housing 110 .

If necessary, an air conditioner may be installed in the housing 110 to control the indoor temperature of the guest room 120 .

In the guest room 120, a handle 112 is formed so that the examiner can hold and push the inside of the cabin 120 when the working booth unit 100 is moved, or a folding shelf member to hold a laptop computer, medical tools, medicines, etc. (113) may be provided.

Next, the docking station 200 allows the inspector to enter the working booth unit 100 or allow the inspector to safely exit from the working booth unit 100, and the inspector to enter the working booth unit 100 safely waits. As a structure that can do this, in particular, it assists the inspector who has completed the work in the working booth unit 100 to safely escape from the working booth unit 100 that may have been contaminated by an infectious agent.

To this end, the docking station 200 has a positive pressure chamber 211 and a waiting room 212 formed therein as shown in FIGS. 4 to 5, and divides the positive pressure chamber 211 and the waiting room 212 into a partition wall surface ( 213), but on the partition wall surface 213, a docking container 210 and the positive pressure chamber ( It may be exemplified as including a positive pressure forming unit 220 that forms a positive pressure by supplying air to the 211).

The positive pressure room 211 and the waiting room 212 each consist of a unit space isolated from the outside, so that a waiting inspector to enter the working booth unit 100 can wait in the positive pressure room 211, and the waiting room 212 ends the work. One inspector's working booth unit 100 can enter and exit.

In the positive pressure chamber 211, a positive pressure is formed by the positive pressure forming unit 220, so that it can be maintained in a sterilized state from an external infectious agent. In addition to the positive pressure forming unit 220 , a separate air conditioner 230 may be provided in the positive pressure chamber 211 to improve the air quality inside.

A positive pressure chamber door 215 in the form of a hinged or sliding door for entering and exiting the positive pressure chamber 211 may be formed in the docking container 210, and, in addition, a waiting room door 216 for entering and exiting the waiting room 212 is formed. can be

A standby inspector can enter and exit the positive pressure chamber 211 through the positive pressure chamber door 215, and an inspector of the working booth unit 100 who has completed the work or a worker who has entered the working booth unit 100 for work is in the waiting room The waiting room 212 may be entered through the door 216 .

The positive pressure forming unit 220 is composed of a known positive pressure fan for forming a certain positive pressure in the positive pressure chamber 211, and a separate sterilization means for sterilizing the air supplied may be provided.

When the booth door 190 of the working booth unit 100 located in the waiting room 212 is disposed to face the connection entrance 214 to connect the working booth unit 100 to the docking station 200, the cabin 120 is empty. If there is, the examiner enters the guest room 120 , or, conversely, the examiner located in the guest room 120 may move toward the positive pressure chamber 211 .

In other words, when the working booth unit 100 enters and exits the waiting room 212 and is connected so that the booth entrance 180 comes into contact with the connection entrance 214 formed on the partition wall surface 213, the working booth unit 100 of Since the cabin 120 and the positive pressure chamber 211 can communicate with each other as a single space, free movement of the examiner is possible between the working booth unit 100 and the docking station 200 .

That is, since the inspector who has completed the work in the working booth unit 100 moves from the sterilized cabin 120 toward the sterilized positive pressure room 211 when escaping from the cabin 120, it may be fundamentally exposed to external infectious agents. It has an impossible structure.

In particular, as the working booth unit 100 is used in a work site where an infectious agent is activated, there is a risk that the outer surface of the housing 110 may be contaminated by an infectious agent. If the inspector comes out of the cabin 120 without escaping through the docking station 200, the working booth unit 100 contaminated by the infectious agent in the process of the inspector coming out of the cabin 120 causes the inspector to also The possibility of exposure to an infectious agent plays a large role.

Accordingly, the present invention has a structure capable of blocking the source of infection occurring in the process of the inspector coming out of the working booth unit 100 as well as at the time of work.

Meanwhile, a connection opening/closing door 217 for opening and closing the connection entrance 214 may be installed in the connection entrance 214 .

On the other hand, when the working booth unit 100 is connected to the docking station 200, the booth entrance 180 of the housing 110 can communicate with the connection entrance 214 of the positive pressure chamber 211. At this time , it has a structure that seals the passages communicating with each other to prevent the physical inflow of infectious agents into the movement path of the examiner.

When the connection state between the working booth unit 100 and the docking station 200 is not airtight, an infectious agent may be introduced into the space between the guest room 120 and the positive pressure room 211. By forming the connection part of the station 200 airtightly, the inflow of an infectious agent can be blocked at the source. Means for airtightly forming the connection portion between the working booth unit 100 and the docking station 200 may be implemented in various ways. For example, as shown in FIG. 6 , the rear of the housing 110 has a booth door 190 ) may be formed to surround the first magnet member M1 in the form of a closing ring.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 5 , on the partition wall surface 213 of the connection entrance 214 facing the housing 110 , the second magnet complementary to the first magnet member M1 is outside the connection entrance 214 . The member M2 may be formed to be surrounded by a closing ring shape.

When the first magnet member (M1) and the second magnet member (M2) are attached to each other, the inner space between the first magnet member (M1) and the second magnet member (M2) is sealed and the cabin 120 and the positive pressure chamber (211) A structure is provided in which the passage connecting the

In addition, since the first magnet member (M1) is attracted to the second magnet member (M2) by attractive force in the process of connecting the working booth door (190), the rear surface of the working booth door (190) is a partition wall surface (213) A structure is provided so that the booth entrance 180 can automatically face the connection entrance 214 by simply placing it at an approximate position of the .

Accordingly, the inspector has a structure capable of automatically connecting the working booth unit 100 to the docking station 200 at all times at the correct position.

On the other hand, the working booth unit 100 may be equipped with a means for removing the infectious agent attached to the booth door 190 in a state in which it is connected to the docking station 200 . To this end, a spray nozzle for spraying sterile water toward the connection inlet 214 may be installed inside the positive pressure chamber 211 .

In this case, the spray nozzle is equipped with a structure that can automatically spray the sterilized water toward the booth door (190).

Hereinafter, the operation of the walking protection booth according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 10 . In this operation, a process in which the inspector who has completed the work in the working booth unit 100 moves to the positive pressure chamber 211 will be described as an example.

First, when the inspector of the working booth unit 100 completes the work, he walks toward the docking station 200 and enters the waiting room 212 through the waiting room door 216 .

The inspector who has entered the waiting room 212 moves to find the connection opening/closing door 217 to which the working booth unit 100 is not connected in the waiting room 212 .

If the connection opening/closing door 217 to be connected is specified, the inspector turns back and roughly draws the rear surface of the housing 110 on the partition wall surface 213 so that the first magnet member M1 is attracted to the second magnet member M2. place it

When the first magnet member (M1) enters the attractive force application range of the second magnet member (M2), the second magnet member (M2) and the first magnet member (M1) are magnetically coupled to the connection opening/closing door 217 and Booth doors 190 are disposed to face each other.

In this case, the inspector in the cabin 120 does not open the booth door 190 and move directly to the positive pressure room 211 , but consider the contamination of the booth door 190 , and first the waiting person located in the positive pressure room 211 After the connection opening/closing door 217 is opened, the surface of the booth door 190 is sterilized by spraying sterile water toward the booth door 190 matched to the connection entrance 214 . Next, when the booth door 190 is opened to communicate between the positive pressure room 211 and the guest room 120 , the inspector located in the guest room 120 exits toward the positive pressure room 211 . Then, when the waiting person enters the guest room 120 and closes the booth door 190, and then the inspector located in the positive pressure room 211 closes the connection opening/closing door 217, the inspector of the working booth unit 100 walks and Exit the waiting room (212).

In summary, in the walking protective booth according to the present invention, since the inspector does not need to wear protective equipment such as a separate mask and protective clothing, it is possible to prevent unnecessary fatigue reduction of the inspector. In addition, since the inspector who has completed the work in the working booth unit 100 moves only from the sterilized cabin 120 toward the sterilized positive pressure chamber 211 when escaping from the cabin 120 , the inspector moves to the cabin 120 . It is possible to exclude the possibility that the inspector is exposed to the infectious agent by the housing 110 of the working booth unit 100 contaminated by the infectious agent in the process of coming out. In addition, it is possible to secure the mobility and workability of the inspector by configuring the walking booth unit 100 to be interlocked with the inspector's walking.
