The positive pressure device 120 forms a positive pressure inside the main body 100 so that when an examiner is accommodated inside the main body 100, viruses, bacteria, etc. It can block the entry of pathogens.

And, referring to FIG. 4 (b), the negative pressure device 130 includes a negative pressure filter 131 that filters the air discharged to the outside of the main body 100 to be purified, and the main body 100 ) includes a negative pressure fan 132 to force the internal air to flow out of the main body 100 . The negative pressure device 130 forms a negative pressure inside the main body 100 so that when a subject is accommodated in the main body 100, viruses, bacteria, etc. of pathogens can be prevented from leaking out.

In addition, when both positive pressure and negative pressure are used with one filter as in the prior art, viruses and bacteria that may remain on the surface of the filter as the direction of air flow is changed from positive pressure to negative pressure and from negative pressure to positive pressure. As the pathogen spreads in an unintended direction, the risk of infection may increase. Therefore, when it is necessary to switch from positive pressure to negative pressure and from negative pressure to positive pressure in a conventional booth, there is a hassle of fumigating or replacing the filter before switching.

On the contrary, when the positive pressure filter 121 and the negative pressure filter 131 are separately provided in the main body 100 as in the present invention, even if the inside of the main body 100 is converted to positive or negative pressure, the positive pressure filter Since the direction of air flow through 121 and the negative pressure filter 131 is the same, the risk of exposure of pathogens remaining on the surfaces of the positive pressure filter 121 and the negative pressure filter 131 to the examiner can be minimized.

For example, when the examiner is accommodated in the body portion 100 and the examinee receives the examination from the outside of the body portion 100 , intake air using the positive pressure device 120 and the positive pressure filter 121 . only can be done In addition, when the subject is accommodated and tested in the interior of the main body 100 such as tuberculosis patient's sputum test, and the examiner is located outside the main body 100, the negative pressure device 130 and the negative pressure Only exhaust using the filter 131 may be performed. Accordingly, the pressure formed inside the main body 100 can be smoothly switched without risk of spreading the pathogen remaining in the positive pressure filter 121 and the negative pressure filter 131 .

On the other hand, referring to FIG. 4 , intake and exhaust are simultaneously made in the interior of the main body 100 by the positive pressure unit 120 and the negative pressure unit 130 so that the inside of the body unit 100 is reduced. to be ventilated. For example, when the main body 100 is used for purposes such as a clean room or a clean operating room, the positive pressure unit 120 and the negative pressure unit 130 are simultaneously operated to create a laminar flow (fluid) inside the main body unit 100 . of the regular flow) is formed, so that the interior of the main body 100 can be ventilated more quickly.
