Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for blocking airborne transmission of infectious diseases. More specifically, not only is the virus discharged from the user's respiratory tract inhaled, but the air that is filtered and sterilized after inhalation forms a vertical laminar flow in the direction of gravity and flows indoors. This relates to a device that blocks the airborne spread of infectious diseases that can smoothly block the airborne viral spread indoors as the probability of inhaling the virus indoors decreases through supply.
- one of the infection routes of infectious agents such as viruses or bacteria may be airborne.
- Airborne transmission is when the infectious agent spreads through the air through droplets and aerosols discharged from an individual's nose and mouth to the respiratory tract of another person.
- To prevent the spread of infectious diseases prevent the spread of droplets and aerosols discharged from a personal respiratory tract or use a personal respiratory tract. Filtering and sterilization of droplets and aerosols emitted from the system are required.

It forms a vertical laminar flow in the direction of action and is supplied indoors, thereby lowering the probability of the user and others other than the user inhaling the virus indoors, thereby providing an air transmission blocking device for infectious diseases that smoothly blocks airborne viral transmission indoors. There is a purpose to doing so.
- An intake unit that inhales droplets and aerosols discharged from the user's respiratory tract along with the surrounding air through a plurality of inlets formed on at least one side of the box-shaped case; a purification unit that is connected to the intake unit and filters and sterilizes the air containing the droplets and aerosols flowing into the box-shaped case through a first connection pipe connected to the intake unit; And a plurality of cases formed on at least one side of the case containing the air containing the filtered and sterilized droplets and aerosols flowing in through a second connection pipe connected to the purification unit and connected between the purification unit.
- an exhaust unit discharging to the outside through an outlet, wherein the exhaust unit discharges the air containing the filtered and sterilized droplets and aerosols in a vertical laminar flow in the direction of gravity action through the outlet.
- an intake unit, a purification unit, and an exhaust unit are arranged adjacent to the user's breathing area indoors, and the indoor ambient air sucked in by the intake unit and the droplets discharged from the user's respiratory tract are And as the aerosol passes through the purification unit, the droplets and aerosols contained in the air are filtered and sterilized, and the air filtered and sterilized in the purification unit is perpendicular to the direction of gravity action near the user's breathing area through the exhaust unit. Since it can be discharged forming a laminar flow, it can reduce the probability of the user and others other than the user inhaling the virus indoors, making it possible to smoothly block the airborne spread of the virus indoors.
- the intake unit, purification unit, and exhaust unit are arranged adjacent to the user's breathing area indoors, and can be especially placed on a moving object moving indoors, so it is more suitable for the user's breathing area. Air is sucked in from various points in the adjacent room, and filtered and sterilized air can be supplied to various points in the room closer to the user's breathing area, forming a vertical laminar flow in the direction of gravity, thus blocking viral airborne transmission indoors. It could be smoother.

Description
본 발명은 감염병의 공기전파 차단장치에 관한 것으로, 더욱 상세하게는 사용자의 호흡기로부터 배출되는 바이러스의 흡입이 이루어질 뿐만 아니라 흡입 이후 필터링 및 살균 처리되는 공기가 중력 작용 방향으로 수직층류를 형성하며 실내로 공급됨으로써 실내에서 바이러스 흡입 확률이 낮아짐에 따라 실내에서의 바이러스 공기전파 차단이 원활할 수 있도록 하는 감염병의 공기전파 차단장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a device for blocking airborne transmission of infectious diseases. More specifically, not only is the virus discharged from the user's respiratory tract inhaled, but the air that is filtered and sterilized after inhalation forms a vertical laminar flow in the direction of gravity and flows indoors. This relates to a device that blocks the airborne spread of infectious diseases that can smoothly block the airborne viral spread indoors as the probability of inhaling the virus indoors decreases through supply.
최근 병원체인 미생물이 생물체에 옮아 증식하여 일으키는 병, 예컨대 코로나 등의 감염병 발생이 크게 늘고 있다.Recently, the incidence of infectious diseases such as coronavirus, which are diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms transferring to living organisms and multiplying, has been increasing significantly.
이때, 바이러스 또는 세균 등 감염원의 감염 경로 중 하나는 공기전파일 수 있다.At this time, one of the infection routes of infectious agents such as viruses or bacteria may be airborne.
공기전파는 감염원이 개인의 코와 입으로부터 배출된 비말과 에어로졸이 공기를 매개로 타인의 호흡기로 전파되는 것인바, 감염병의 전파 방지를 위해서는 개인 호흡기로부터 배출되는 비말과 에어로졸의 확산 방지 또는 개인 호흡기로부터 배출된 비말과 에어로졸의 필터링 및 살균이 요구된다.Airborne transmission is when the infectious agent spreads through the air through droplets and aerosols discharged from an individual's nose and mouth to the respiratory tract of another person. To prevent the spread of infectious diseases, prevent the spread of droplets and aerosols discharged from a personal respiratory tract or use a personal respiratory tract. Filtering and sterilization of droplets and aerosols emitted from the system are required.
이에 최근 대한민국 공개특허공보 제10-2021-0102033호 등에 개시된 바와 같이 실내 공기를 필터링 및 살균하거나 강제 환기하는 '공조장치' 또는 '공조시스템'의 이용이 늘고 있다.Accordingly, as recently disclosed in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2021-0102033, the use of 'air conditioning devices' or 'air conditioning systems' that filter and sterilize indoor air or force ventilation is increasing.
그러나 일반 공조장치 또는 공조시스템은 사용자 호흡역(breathing zoon)으로부터 상당한 거리를 두고 배치되는바, 개인 호흡기로부터 비말과 에어로졸의 배출 이후 이를 흡입하여 필터링 및 살균하는데 적지 않은 시간이 소요되므로 실내에서 일정 시간 대류가 일어날 수밖에 없어 대류가 일어나는 시간 동안 실내에 있는 사람이 감염원을 포함하는 비말과 에어로졸을 흡입할 위험이 있다.However, general air conditioning devices or air conditioning systems are placed at a considerable distance from the user's breathing zone, and it takes a considerable amount of time to filter and sterilize droplets and aerosols by inhaling them after they are discharged from the personal respiratory system, so a certain amount of time is spent indoors. Since convection is inevitable, there is a risk that people indoors during the time when convection occurs will inhale droplets and aerosols containing infectious agents.
상기의 이유로 사람의 호흡역 가까이에서 흡기할 수 있도록 하고 사람의 호흡역 가까이로 필터링 및 살균된 공기를 공급할 수 있도록 하는 장치의 개발이 시도되고 있으나, 현재까지는 만족할 만한 결과를 얻지 못하고 있는 실정이다.For the above reasons, attempts have been made to develop devices that enable inhalation close to a person's respiratory area and to supply filtered and sterilized air close to a person's respiratory area, but satisfactory results have not been obtained to date.
