Description

The invention relates to medicine and can be used for the prevention and treatment of respiratory diseases.

Known climatic chamber, patent RU 2121330 C1, A61G 10/02 containing an external heat insulating shell, an inner shell of salt blocks forming a treatment chamber, a floor in the form of a saturator filter from crushed salt rock and an air preparation room.

The disadvantage of this chamber is the uneven supply of air entering the chamber, in relation to patients, due to the aerodynamic drag in the channel system of the filter-saturator. The efficiency of such a filter drops sharply depending on the removal of the air supply fan. It is very difficult to clean the filter from the dust and microflora of the patients falling on it. The presence of corners on the walls of the treatment chamber does not exclude microbiological contamination in them. The presence of an air preparation room significantly increases the size of the climate chamber.

Known climatic chamber, patent RU 2012306 C1, A61G 10/02 containing a sealed room with a lock tambour, internal walls of salt blocks with channels for air passage, a compressor, an oxygen station, a chemical lime absorber of carbon monoxide, an ejector mixing air components. The disadvantage of this camera is its very complex design. The use of compressed oxygen cylinders, a compressor, chemical filters and carbon dioxide absorbers requires the participation of non-medical specialists in the climate chamber. This design of the climate chamber does not use atmospheric air, but only recycles what is in it, adding oxygen. A compressor and chemical filters have been introduced into the air preparation path, which for the worse affects the quality of the air inhaled by patients.

The given examples of climatic chambers have a bulky design and heavy weight, which excludes their placement on the upper floors of medical institutions. An aesthetic aspect of the approach to staying patients in a climatic chamber is also important. Because the method of treatment is called speleoclimatotherapy, and “speleo” means a cave, the given constructions in their form are little suitable for the term “speleo”.

The objective of the invention is to develop the design of the climate chamber, which allows you to create conditions close to natural factors. Quickly restore and strengthen the treatment parameters of the microclimatic salt treatment chamber.

The closest in technical essence and the achieved result to the claimed one is the climate chamber, patent RU 2166920 A61G 10/02, containing a sealed thermal insulation shell, salt blocks installed with a gap relative to the thermal insulation shell, air conditioning, salt filter saturator, air preparation and ventilation system. The treatment chamber is round, the salt blocks have channels for air passage. The chamber is equipped with bathtubs for receiving procedures. This climate chamber can be taken as a prototype of the claimed.

The disadvantage of the climate chamber is the presence in it of baths with salt solutions, making it impossible to maintain the microclimate recommended for speleoclimatic chambers, namely: temperature 18-22 ° C; humidity 45-65%. The salt blocks of the chamber have channels for the passage of air and communicate with each other the internal and external space of the treatment chamber. The presence of through holes in the walls of the treatment chamber reduces the performance of the filter saturator, making it ineffective.

The incorporation of one saturating filter into the wall of the treatment chamber displaces the air flow in favor of the latter, worsening the uniformity of filling the chamber with salt spray.

The aim of the invention is to create a speleoclimatic chamber devoid of the disadvantages of the climate chambers given as examples, increasing the efficiency by an order of magnitude while improving the quality of the air in the treatment room. The solution to this problem is achieved due to the fact that the space between the sealed capsule of the treatment room and the walls of the room used is, in fact, an air preparation room in which the latter is saturated from the internal salt surface of the treatment room and the walls of the room with a salt coating. As a result, the working salt surface of the speleoclimatic chamber increases by more than two and a half times. An increase in the number of salt filter saturators and their symmetrical arrangement along the perimeter allows increasing the concentration of salt aerosol, light air ions and ensuring their uniform saturation of the volume of the treatment chamber. The introduction of controlled instruments, such as an air conditioner, a dehumidifier, a humidifier, and instruments that control the parameters of the treatment medium, such as a thermometer, a hygrometer, an air speed meter, and a timer, make it possible to configure operational parameters as efficiently as possible, minimizing errors in the nursing staff.

The invention is illustrated by schematic images of the speleoclimatic chamber: figure 1 - room for installation, vertical section; figure 2 - camera, a vertical section; figure 3 is a horizontal section, top view.

The speleoclimatic chamber contains: an arbitrary room, the walls of which are coated with magnesia cement with salt filler 2; a floor made in the form of parquet from salt plates of the Verkhnekamsk potash deposit 1; air filter 3; supply 7 and exhaust 8 fans with adjustable speed; air conditioner 5; air dryer 4; humidifier 6; a sealed spherical capsule 10 made of plates of the Verkhnekamsk potash deposit; saturating filters with replaceable volumes of sylvinite ore 9; the illuminator with the image of the open space 11 applied thereon; the front door 12, the block of instrumentation 13, containing a thermometer, hygrometer, air speed meter.

The speleoclimatic chamber works as follows: the atmospheric air supplied to the room by the supply fan 7 passes through the air filter 3, being cleaned of dust and partially from harmful impurities. Then the purified air is heated or cooled by air conditioning 5 to the specified values of 18-22 ° C, if necessary, it is moistened or dried by a humidifier 6 or desiccant 4, at the same time, the process of air saturation with finely dispersed salt spray and light aero ions from the coating of walls 2 and the inner surface of the treatment capsule Chambers 10. Before the treatment session, the supply 7 and exhaust 8 fans are turned on and the air prepared in the “chamber” space enters through the saturation filters 9 into the room of the treatment chamber . In this case, a secondary process of saturation with finely dispersed salt aerosol, negative air ions and purification from allergens takes place. The speleoclimatic chamber is ready to receive patients. Patients enter the chamber through door 12 and are arranged in a circle on chairs or sunbeds. Since the design of the illuminator 11 under the ceiling is made in the form of an image of an open space, the psychoemotional state of the patients improves and the effect of claustrophobia disappears. During the treatment session, the supply 7 and exhaust 8 fans go into a reduced capacity mode, providing air movement in the chamber of 0.001 m ³ \ s. Insofar as
filter saturators 9 are located seven-fold around the perimeter, and the exhaust system is under the ceiling, the possibility of interaction of the exhaled air of one patient to the inhaled air of another is excluded. After the session and the patients exit the chamber, the supply 7 and exhaust 8 fans turn on in the ventilation mode, i.e. mode

increased revolutions and replace the "exhaust" air prepared in the "chamber" space. The treatment cycle is repeated.

The advantages of the proposed solution over the well-known:

- with an increase in the salt surface of walls, floors, and ceilings by more than two and a half times, air saturation with finely dispersed salt aerosols and negatively charged air ions has increased;

- with an increase in the number of saturating filters and their seven-metric arrangement along the perimeter of the chamber, the intake and saturation of the air leveled out over the entire volume of the treatment chamber;

- ensured non-mixing of patients' breathing;

- improving the aesthetic appearance increases the psychoemotional state of patients for the better;

- simplified design and reduced weight of the climate chamber, allows its installation on any of the floors of medical institutions;

- the use of adjustable air preparation devices and instrumentation increased the accuracy of the microclimate settings and allowed us to automate the process of controlling the speleoclimatic chamber.

The proposed design of the camera saves time and money for treatment, increases the number of patients served and their age range. The camera can be used in the treatment and prevention of occupational diseases of an allergic nature.
