Description

Mobile medical treatment station

The present invention relates to a mobile clinic, and more particularly, to a mobile clinic that can provide a comfortable medical environment not only for the examiner but also for the examinee.

In general, infectious diseases such as Corona, MERS, and SARS are transmitted through the respiratory system, so it is difficult to predict the route of transmission, and the rate of spread is fast and immediate isolation is required.

In particular, the coronavirus is a virus that can transmit heterogeneously, and there are SARS coronavirus that caused severe acute respiratory syndrome that was prevalent worldwide in 2003 and MERS coronavirus that spread and spread in Korea in 2015. . All of these coronaviruses are known to come from bats. In addition, the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), which recently occurred in Wuhan, China and is spreading around the world, was also confirmed to be caused by a heterogeneous infection.

As the corona virus or MERS virus caused great confusion, when the corona virus infects and spreads to humans, it is difficult to prevent its spread early, so the social impact and confusion are very large.

In addition, most of the confirmed cases of Corona are patients, medical staff, or visitors who are hospitalized in the hospital where the infected person has been treated or screened, and is classified as an in-hospital infection rather than an infection caused by external contact. the current situation.

On the other hand, in the case of an infectious disease infected person, they must be treated in a negative pressure room to prevent the air inside the room from being discharged to the outside. In general, since these negative pressure rooms are located in some facilities of large hospitals, adjacent general patients or medical staff are infected with the route of infection. There were problems that could be exposed to.

In addition, in order to monitor the progress of treatment of the infected, the frequency of exposure of the medical staff to infectious diseases has inevitably increased because medical staff must visit each infected individual and treat them directly.

In addition, if a suspected infectious disease person is diagnosed with an infection, the medical staff or visitors who came in contact with the infected person should be tracked and managed, but it is limited to check the status of visits to the medical staff or visitors who visited each patient. Therefore, there was a problem in that proper tracking and management of the number of contacts during the screening of confirmed patients could not be performed.

In the case of a sharp drop in the rate of spread of an infectious disease, a screening clinic of a walking-through method is installed to detect suspected infections early and reduce the spread of infection. have. The basic process for this is that the examinee prepares a questionnaire prior to the examination (S10), and the examiner (medical person) reviews the symptoms of the examinee through the examination table and the examination of the examinee (S20). Thereafter, screening treatment is performed in the order of taking a PCR sample according to the examiner's review (S30) or returning home (S40) if it is confirmed that the patient is asymptomatic.

However, there is a problem in that it is difficult to actively induce the examination of the examinee because the privacy protection for the examinee is insufficient in the conventional screening clinic. In addition, the medical box installed with a temporary tent or simple panel raised the risk of transmission of pathogens between subjects or transmission between subjects and inspectors. In addition, the conventional mobile clinic installed outdoors has also raised a problem in that it is difficult to provide a comfortable indoor environment for the examiner and the examinee in a climate such as summer or winter.

Referring to FIG. 2 , the mobile clinic of the present invention includes a section to be tested 10 and a section 20 to be separately partitioned therefrom. Preferably, the screen (10a) is installed in front for the privacy protection of the subject (P ₂ ).

In this case, the inspection section 10 may be provided in the form of a tent or container using a folding frame or an individual frame for easy installation and movement. In addition, the examination section 20 is a space where the examiner P1 sees a medical treatment, and a transparent window 21 for confirming the examinee P2 is configured on the front side. Here, the inspection section unit 20 may be formed of a transparent vinyl material to be reliably partitioned inside the inspection target section unit 10 , or may be composed of a transparent panel assembly. In addition, the inspection section 20 may be provided with a carbon dioxide detection sensor or a fine dust detection sensor. Therefore, it is possible to provide comfortable indoor air by measuring the degree of contamination of the indoor air in the inspection section 20 and purifying it in the air circulation process through the air circulator 50 . In addition, the examination section 20 is equipped with an air conditioner 70 so that the examiner (P ₁ ) can be treated in a comfortable environment.

Meanwhile, the inside of the inspection section 20 is operated to form a positive (+) pressure through the air circulator 50 . Accordingly, it is possible to block external viruses or foreign substances from entering the inside of the inspection section 20 during the inspection process.

In addition, an air curtain forming unit 30 is installed in the front of the inspection section 20 and inside the inspection target section 10 . This air curtain forming unit 30 is installed on the bottom of the section to be inspected 10, and continuously sprays compressed air from the lower part of the air curtain forming unit 30 to the upper part to form an air curtain (G). . Specifically, the air curtain forming unit 30 is connected to the compressed air supply unit 60 and the compressed air supply unit 60 for spraying compressed air, and the supply pipe 30a and the supply pipe 30a are arranged in the section to be inspected 10 . ) in the vertical direction (the state placed on the floor of the inspection section) and each branching is composed of a branch pipe 30b having a plurality of injection holes 31 formed therein.

That is, as shown in FIG. 4 , the air curtain forming unit 30 connects a plurality of branch pipes 30b1 to 30b3 branched from the supply pipe 30a inside the section to be inspected 10, between the inspected subjects (P _2a. P _2b ). install on The branch pipes (30b1 to 30b3) form a plurality of air curtains (G1, G2, G3) at regular intervals inside the section to be inspected (10) by continuously spraying compressed air from the lower part to the upper part, and through this It serves to partition the internal space of the section to be inspected (10).

Therefore, when a plurality of examinees (P2) are treated in the interior of the inspected section 10, the air curtains (G1, G2, G3) are formed between these inspected (P _2a, P _2b ) and this Through this, it is possible to prevent the transmission of pathogens between the test subjects (P _2a, P _2b ).

In addition, the upper part of the section to be inspected 10 is provided in an open structure, and the internal air of the section to be inspected 10 follows the compressed air continuously sprayed to the upper portion (the flow of air sprayed to form an air curtain). It has a flow that is evacuated immediately to the open side. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent pathogens from floating or spreading in the section to be inspected 10 .

Referring to FIG. 5 , the inspection target section 10 and the inspection section 20 may be provided in the form of a container box. At this time, the section to be inspected 10 is provided in a form in which all sides are blocked by a panel or the like. In addition, between the inspection target section 10 and the inspection section 20 is partitioned from each other by a partition wall (W) provided with a transparent window (21).

On the other hand, a separate air circulator (50b) is installed inside the section to be tested (10), and through this, a negative (-) pressure is formed in the inside of the section to be tested (10) so that pathogens inside are discharged to the outside. it can be prevented In addition, the air curtain forming unit 30 installed on the floor in the section to be inspected (10) forms a plurality of air curtains (G1, G2, G3) as described above, whereby the subject ( P ₂ a, P _2b ) will function as a partition wall separating them. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce the risk of transmission by avoiding direct contact between subjects to be tested. In addition, since the air conditioner 70b can be installed in the section to be inspected 10, a comfortable environment can be provided not only in the inspection section 20 but also in the section 10 to be inspected.

As such, an air circulator 50b and an air conditioner 70b may be installed in the inspection target section 10 . Therefore, it is possible to easily control the temperature of the inside of the section to be inspected 10 through the air conditioner (70b). In addition, contaminants or pathogens contained in the indoor air of the inspected section 10 and the inspection section 20 through the air circulators 50a and 50b respectively installed in the inspection and inspection section units 10 and 20 are removed. It can be sterilized and discharged to the outside or the air can be circulated in the room.

The configuration and operation of the air circulator 50 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7 .

The air circulator 50 has an air supply fan 54 and an exhaust fan 53 installed inside the main body 50'. Inside the body 50', a horizontal diaphragm (L ₁ ) and a vertical diaphragm (L ₂ ) are installed. In addition, an air supply fan 54 and an exhaust fan 53 are located on both sides with respect to the vertical diaphragm L2. Among them, the air supply fan 54 serves to suck in the outside air and supply it to the room. In addition, the exhaust fan 53 functions to suck the bet and exhaust it to the outside. Meanwhile, a heat transfer element 59 is installed in the center of the main body 50'. The heat transfer element 59 functions to heat-transfer heat by exchanging the outside air with the inside air. In addition, the heat transfer element 59 is provided with filter members F1 and F2 for filtering out foreign substances contained in the air. In addition, ozone generators 58a and 58b are disposed on both sides of the heat transfer element 59 . The ozone generators 58a and 58b are devices that generate and supply ozone to sterilize bacteria or germs existing in the heat transfer element 59 or the filter members F1 and F2 during a heat exchange process (air circulation process).

On the other hand, the body 50' is divided into four spaces by vertical and horizontal diaphragms L _{1 and} L ₂ centered on the heat transfer element 59, and these spaces are opened and closed of the dampers 56 and 57 for air flow is controlled. For example, when the first damper 56 and the second damper 57 are opened under a condition that the exhaust fan 53 is turned on and driven and the air supply fan 54 is turned off, indoor air is transferred to the exhaust fan 53 ) has an exhaust flow flowing toward the exhaust port 51 by the suction force (refer to FIG. 6). At this time, when the first ozone generator 58a is operated to generate ozone (O ₃ ), the generated ozone passes through the heat transfer element 59 and the first filter member F1 and is then discharged through the exhaust port 51 . In this process, bacteria or pathogens present in the heat transfer element 59 may be sterilized by ozone, and similarly, bacteria or pathogens present in the first filter member F1 may also be sterilized.

As another example, as shown in FIG. 7 , when the exhaust fan 53 is turned on and operated and the supply fan 55 is turned off, the second damper 57 is closed and the first damper 56 is opened. Air circulation can be made in the state. In this case, the air introduced from the outdoor air intake port 52 passes through the heat transfer element 59 and has a flow discharged to the exhaust port 51 . At this time, when the second ozone generator 58b is operated, the air containing ozone sterilizes pathogens or bacteria present inside the heat transfer element 59, and then passes through the second filter member F2 and the filter member ( After sterilization of pathogens or bacteria present in F2) is made, it has a flow discharged to the exhaust port 51 (ie, sterilization through external air circulation).

On the other hand, in the sterilization process through the ozone generators 58a and 58b, the ozone generators 58a and 58b are operated for a certain period of time, and then the supply fan 54 or the exhaust fan 53 is operated for a certain period of time in an off state, so that the remaining inside The sterilization function can be performed through ozone. At this time, it is important to prevent ozone generated for sterilization from flowing into the room. That is, since ozone generated in the sterilization process is harmful to the human body, the dampers 56 and 57 in the main body 50a' are properly opened and closed so that ozone does not flow into the room. In other words, it is desirable to prevent ozone from flowing into the room and inhaling a part of ozone into the user's respiratory system.

As described above, according to the present invention, by configuring the separately partitioned test section 20 inside the section to be tested 10, it is possible to reliably isolate the examiner and the person to be tested, thereby preventing infection during the treatment process.

In addition, by spraying high-pressure compressed air from the bottom to the top of the section to be tested (10), it is possible to reliably isolate between the people to be tested, thereby preventing transmission between the people to be tested. In addition, it is possible to provide a comfortable medical treatment environment regardless of the external climate by installing the air conditioner 70 and the air circulator 50 in the inside of the section to be tested 10 and the section 20 to be tested, respectively.

In addition, the air circulator 50 can be installed in the section to be tested 10 and the section 20 to be tested, respectively. It is possible to prevent the outflow of the filaments, and also, the test section 20 can prevent external pathogens from entering the inside of the filamentous section 20 by forming a positive (+) pressure.

In the above, the present invention has been illustrated and described with respect to specific embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains will The invention may be implemented with various changes without departing from the spirit of the invention.
