The lifting module is arranged around the circumference of the ground rotating module.

[0031] The ground rotating module includes a fixed platform 2, a rotating platform 3 capable of carrying personnel, and a lower manipulator 4 capable of assisting in putting on and taking off protective clothing. A pressure sensor is installed on the rotating platform 3 to sense whether a human body is standing on the rotating platform 3. The fixed platform 2 is arranged around the rotating platform 3. An opening is provided on the upper surface of the fixed platform 2, and the lower manipulator 4 can be stored in the fixed platform 2 or extend upward from the opening of the fixed platform 2.

[0032] The lifting module includes a lifting arm 5, an upper loading platform 6 and an upper manipulator 7 that can assist in putting on and taking off protective clothing. The upper loading platform 6 is fixed to the upper end of the lifting arm 5, and an opening is provided on the upper loading platform 6. The upper manipulator 7 is loaded at the opening of the upper loading platform 6, and can extend out of the opening of the upper loading platform 6 or be received in the upper loading platform 6. A spray disinfection device is also installed in the upper loading platform 6. After the lifting arm 5 descends, the circular upper loading platform 6 is located on the circumferential side of the circular fixed platform 2, and at this time, the upper loading platform 6 is flush with the fixed platform 2 and the rotating platform 3 at the same time on the ground, so that the device will not hinder the road, and the design hidden in the ground also reduces the damage of dust and oxygen in the air to the equipment, and extends the service life of the equipment.

[0033] The underground control module includes a main unit, a first power unit, a second power unit and an article storage bin 8. The first power unit, the second power unit, the lower manipulator 4, the pressure sensor, the upper manipulator 7 and the spray disinfection device are all electrically connected to the main unit. A delay switch is also installed on the main unit. The first power unit is a motor 9, and a spline shaft 10 is fixed on the power shaft of the motor 9. A tooth groove matching the spline shaft 10 is provided at the bottom center of the rotating platform 3, and the spline shaft 10 is embedded in the tooth groove. The motor 9 can drive the rotating platform 3 to rotate horizontally. The second power unit can drive the lifting arm 5 to rise or fall. The second power unit can be a hydraulic lift, an electric motor, a cylinder, etc. The liquid medicine loaded in the spray disinfection device can be alcohol or other disinfectants.

[0034] The door from the safety zone to the isolation room is provided with a first induction switch for sensing the door opening and closing. The door from the isolation room to the contaminated area is provided with a second induction switch for sensing the door opening and closing.
