[0035] In order to have a clearer understanding of the technical features, purposes and effects of the present invention, specific embodiments of the present invention are now described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] Embodiment 1

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the sampling cabin for the novel coronavirus pharyngeal swab of one embodiment of the present invention can be mobile or fixed, which can protect both medical staff and the person being sampled and the waiting person. It can be used for the protection of novel coronavirus sampling, and can also be used for the protection of sampling of other respiratory diseases. At the same time, the equipment is easy to assemble, and its shape and size can be changed according to different needs and the specific conditions of the site, and it is highly practical.

[0038] The sampling cabin of the novel coronavirus throat swab includes a main cabin 3 and a sub-cabin 2. The main cabin 3 is a sampling cabin for medical workers and can accommodate 1-2 medical workers working at the same time; the sub-cabin 2 is a cabin for the sampled person. The panel at the connection between the main cabin 3 and the sub-cabin 2 is made of transparent acrylic plate or tempered glass, and the plate of the sub-cabin 2 located outside the main cabin 3 is tempered glass or transparent acrylic plate; wherein a load-bearing structure may be arranged on the transparent acrylic plate, for example, a wooden pipe rack or a metal frame is arranged on the outer ring of the transparent acrylic plate; or reinforcing ribs may be arranged on the transparent acrylic plate. The auxiliary cabin 2 surrounds the main cabin 3 and is connected to the main cabin 3. The number of auxiliary cabins 2 is 3-6. If the space is large enough, the number of auxiliary cabins 2 can be appropriately increased. The main cabin 3 and the auxiliary cabin 2 can share a side wall, or can be spliced ​​together as two independent cabins; the main cabin 3 and the auxiliary cabin 2 are both closed cabins, and the main cabin 3 and the auxiliary cabin 2 are respectively provided with a sealed door 7. In order to improve the airtightness of the cabin and at the same time make it more convenient for medical workers and sampled persons to enter and exit the cabin, the sealed door 7 of the main cabin 3 opens inward, and the sealed door 7 of each auxiliary cabin 2 is set to open outward. The sealed door 7 can be a manual door or an automatic door.

[0039] The main cabin 3 is a positive pressure cabin, and the main cabin 3 is provided with a purification air conditioner 4, an air disinfector 5, an ozone disinfector 6 and an ultraviolet disinfection lamp, so that the air from the outside and the auxiliary cabin 2 cannot enter the main cabin 3, ensuring the safety of medical workers. At the same time, the air disinfector 5, the ozone disinfector 6 and the ultraviolet disinfection lamp can disinfect the environment of the main cabin during the rest time, so that the main cabin 3 can continue to maintain a safe state. In this embodiment, in order to achieve harmless discharge of exhaust gas, an exhaust gas emission purification system can also be provided on the main cabin 3, and the exhaust gas emission purification system can purify the exhaust gas on the main cabin 3. The exhaust gas emission purification system may include an exhaust pipe, an exhaust pump and an air purification device; the exhaust pipe may be connected to the main cabin 3, which can be used to discharge the exhaust gas, the exhaust pump may be provided on the exhaust pipe, which can be used to extract the exhaust gas in the main cabin 3, and the air purification device may be connected to the exhaust end of the exhaust pipe, which can be used to purify the exhaust gas discharged from the exhaust pipe to prevent the discharged exhaust gas from polluting the environment outside the cabin. In some embodiments, the air purification device can be replaced with an air disinfection device. In this embodiment, a filtering device such as a filter screen of a high-efficiency filter is used at the air inlet end to efficiently filter the exhaust gas. Specifically, the filtering device can be installed at the connection between the main cabin and the exhaust pipe.

[0040] The sub-cabin 2 is a negative pressure cabin. Multiple sub-cabins share a purification air conditioner 4, an air disinfector 5, and an ozone disinfector 6. Each sub-cabin 2 is provided with an ultraviolet disinfection lamp. The sub-cabin supplies air through each sub-cabin through the purification air conditioner 4 to ensure continuous air disinfection. In order to circulate the air inside the sub-cabin 2, each sub-cabin 2 can also be provided with an exhaust gas purification system. Specifically, each sub-cabin 2 is also provided with an exhaust pipe, and an air pump is provided on the exhaust pipe to cooperate in creating a negative pressure state, and the exhaust gas of the sub-cabin 2 is discharged through the exhaust pipe. The air inlet end of the pipe uses a filter device such as a high-efficiency filter to efficiently filter the exhaust gas. Specifically, the filter device can also be installed at the connection between the sub-cabin and the exhaust pipe. The air outlet end of the exhaust pipe can be connected to an air purification device or an air disinfection device, which can purify and disinfect the exhaust gas discharged from the exhaust pipe. The auxiliary cabin 2 absorbs fresh air from outside through the purification air conditioner 4 and turns it into clean air to enter the auxiliary cabin, so as to ensure that the air entering the medical cabin is all fresh and clean. The principle of fluid mechanics is used to generate step pressure, form a uniform and continuous directional airflow, and finally discharge it out of the cabin after filtration and disinfection. In order to protect the sampled personnel to the maximum extent, the negative pressure cabin is equipped with an alarm device, which will generate an alarm when the negative pressure value is lower than the set value. The environment in the auxiliary cabin is in a negative pressure state, so that the air in the auxiliary cabin will not leak out, and the extracted air can also be discharged after purification and disinfection. The principle is similar to that of a negative pressure ward.

[0041] The air pressure in the auxiliary cabin 2 is lower than the air pressure outside the auxiliary cabin 2. In this way, in terms of air circulation, only fresh air from outside can flow into the auxiliary cabin 2, and the air contaminated by the patient in the auxiliary cabin 2 will not leak out, but will be discharged to a fixed place in time through a special channel. In this way, the area outside the auxiliary cabin 2 will not be contaminated, thereby reducing the chance of medical staff being infected in large numbers.

[0042] To facilitate sampling by medical workers, two operation holes 8 are provided on the panel (or shared side wall) connecting the main cabin 3 and each auxiliary cabin 2. The height of the two operation holes 8 is the height of the arm raised when the human body is standing, which can facilitate the medical workers to work for a long time and reduce the force of the arm; an arm sleeve (not shown in the figure) is provided on the operation hole 8, and a sealing connection structure is provided on the arm sleeve, which can be detachably connected to the operation hole and can seal the arm sleeve with the operation hole. The sealing connection structure may include a ring-shaped sealing cover, which can be provided at one end of the arm sleeve, which can be detachably connected to the arm sleeve, and of course, it can also be fixedly connected to the arm sleeve to form an integrated structure. An internal thread is provided on the inner surface of the sealing cover, and an annular protrusion that cooperates with the sealing cover is fixedly installed on the operating hole 8, and an external thread that cooperates with the internal thread is provided on the outer surface of the annular protrusion, and the arm cover is a plastic arm cover; when in use, first put the arm cover on the external thread of the annular protrusion, and then tighten the sealing cover through the cooperation of the external thread and the internal thread of the sealing cover to form a sealed state, which can not only meet the sampling work of medical workers, but also avoid the connection between the main cabin and the auxiliary cabin; when the arm cover needs to be replaced, rotate to remove the sealing cover and then remove the arm cover from the operating hole, and then replace it with a new arm cover, and tighten the sealing cover again, so that quick replacement can be achieved, which is simple and easy.

[0043] When the present invention is used in practice, according to the requirements of different disinfection methods, after the disinfection of the main cabin 3 and the auxiliary cabin 2 is completed, the purification air conditioners 4 of the main cabin 3 and the auxiliary cabin 2 are kept turned on, and the sampling cabin is started;

[0044] After putting on protective masks, disposable hats, disposable gloves and other protective equipment, the medical workers enter the buffer cabin through the main cabin's sealed door, then enter the main cabin, and after installing the arm covers on the operating holes, put their hands into the arm covers so that they can reach into the auxiliary cabin, put on the disposable gloves in the auxiliary cabin, and start working;

[0045] The patient is allowed to enter the No. 1 sub-cabin for sampling through the calling system. After the number is called, the person being sampled enters the No. 1 sub-cabin according to the instructions, takes off the mask, and accepts the sampling. After the sampling is completed, the medical worker seals and places the specimen, disinfects the hands, takes off the disposable gloves, and disinfects the arm covers again; the person being sampled puts on the mask, disinfects the hands, opens the door and leaves. After the person being sampled goes out, the medical worker turns on the air disinfector 5 and the ozone disinfector 6 to disinfect the No. 1 sub-cabin, and at the same time turns on the ultraviolet disinfection lamp in the No. 1 sub-cabin to comprehensively disinfect the environment of the No. 1 sub-cabin.

[0046] The medical worker turns to the No. 2 sub-cabin and similarly, he puts his hands into the arm covers, puts on the disposable gloves of the sub-cabin, and then calls the next person to be sampled to enter the No. 2 sub-cabin for sampling. After the sampling work is completed and the person to be sampled goes out, he turns on the air disinfector 5 and the ozone disinfector 6 to disinfect the No. 2 sub-cabin, and at the same time turns on the ultraviolet disinfection lamp of the No. 2 sub-cabin to disinfect the environment of the No. 2 sub-cabin; the medical worker turns to the No. 3 sub-cabin in turn to perform the same sampling operation. When it is the turn of the No. 1 sub-cabin to work, the environmental disinfection time has been met, the disinfection effect has been achieved, and the next person to be sampled can be received.

[0047] Embodiment 2

[0048] In order to make the space inside the main cabin larger, this embodiment is provided with a top cabin 1 on the basis of the first embodiment. The top cabin is arranged on the top of the main cabin 3 and is connected with the sub-cabin 2 through the arrangement of pipes. A purification air conditioner 4, an air disinfector 5, and an ozone disinfector 6 are arranged in the top cabin 1. The purification air conditioner 4, the air disinfector 5, and the ozone disinfector 6 can supply air to the sub-cabin 2 through the pipes and perform environmental disinfection.

[0049] An adjustable spotlight for lighting is provided at a height of 1.5 meters in the middle of the panel connecting each auxiliary cabin 2 and the main cabin 3, so that the sampling cabin is not restricted by the use period and can be used in weak light or at night.

[0050] In order to enable medical workers to use the working equipment in the main cabin 3 and the auxiliary cabin 2 more conveniently, the main cabin and each auxiliary cabin are equipped with an operating table, a closed cabinet and an induction-type closed trash can. The operating table is equipped with an induction-type disinfectant, and the closed cabinet is equipped with disposable gloves, spare samplers and other medical supplies. When entering the main cabin, medical workers can work through the operating table, take out spare plastic gloves from the closed cabinet for replacement, and throw the used disposable gloves or plastic gloves into the trash can for convenient centralized destruction; when sampling the sampled person, the medical worker can take out the disposable gloves and sampler from the closed cabinet in the auxiliary cabin 2. After the sampling is completed, the specimen is sealed and placed in the closed cabinet for temporary storage, which is convenient for one-time removal and testing. The trash can in the auxiliary cabin can collect the disposable gloves used by the medical worker or the discarded masks of the sampled person, which is convenient for centralized destruction.

[0051] It can be understood that the above embodiments only express the preferred implementation modes of the present invention, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the patent scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, the above technical features can be freely combined without departing from the concept of the present invention, and several deformations and improvements can be made, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent changes and modifications made to the scope of the claims of the present invention should belong to the coverage of the claims of the present invention.
