Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of coronavirus disinfection, and in particular to a device for disinfecting coronavirus on the surface of an object by inducing denaturation of spike protein S. Background Art

[0002] Currently, chemical disinfection technologies for coronaviruses do not clearly define specific targets for coronavirus particles, nor do they provide detailed descriptions of the disinfection mechanisms of the disinfectants used, making it impossible to obtain effective guidance for coronavirus disinfection. Furthermore, the significant contamination of chemical disinfectants limits their scope of use. Furthermore, chemical disinfection devices require a specific operating environment. Open chemical disinfection methods generally employ spraying or wiping, and most water-based disinfectants only retain moisture on surfaces for 1-4 minutes, resulting in a relatively short action time. These methods lack the efficient, rapid, chemical-free, and widely applicable coronavirus disinfection capabilities proposed in the present invention.

[0003] The Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN211724143U discloses an air sterilization and disinfection system, including a clean room, which is equipped with an air intake area, a multi-stage air purification area and an exhaust area. The air intake area and the exhaust area are respectively located at both ends of the clean room. The air intake area includes an air guide port and a turbine fan. A multi-stage air purification area is provided between the air intake area and the exhaust area. The multi-stage air purification area includes at least a first-level physical filtration area and a first-level electric field adsorption purification area. The physical filtration area is located upstream of the electric field adsorption purification area. The air sterilization and disinfection system is equipped with a multi-stage air purification area in the clean room.

The programmable controller 10-1 adjusts and controls the propulsion device 3, the first disinfection zone 13, and the third disinfection zone 15 according to the distance signal.

[0064] Example 1

[0065] refer to Figure 1 It can be seen that when the shape of the disinfected item is a cuboid or a cube, the disinfected item first passes through the correction area. After the item is conveyed by the conveyor line 12 and corrected by the propulsion device 3, the front, back and top of the item are disinfected by the first disinfection area 13 set on the upper part of the conveyor line 12. Then, the item is conveyed by the conveyor line 12 to the second disinfection area 14 to disinfect the left and right sides of the item, and then conveyed by the conveyor line 12 to the third disinfection area 15 to disinfect the bottom of the item.

[0066] After starting the disinfection device, the conveying speed of the conveyor line 12 is set to 4.2m / min, and the items run on the conveyor line 12 at a speed of 4.2m / min. The items first pass through the two distance sensors 26 set on the second fixed frame 23. The distance sensor 26 arranged below the bottom of the first vertical pole 23-1 on the second fixed frame 23 controls the stroke of the actuator 24, so that the push plate 25 always maintains a distance value of 15mm between the items to be disinfected and the two distance sensors 26 on the second fixed frame 23. While completing the correction of the items, they continue to be conveyed forward through the conveyor line 12. The distance sensor 26 arranged above the bottom of the first vertical pole 23-1 is used to detect the front of the item. After the front of the item is detected, the back of the item is detected during the conveying process.

[0067] When the article is continuously conveyed forward, the article passes through the distance measuring sensor 26 on the front beam 27 of the gantry frame 21. The distance measuring sensor 26 on the front beam 27 detects the height of the article on the conveyor line 12. The height value is the distance measured by the distance measuring sensor 26 on the front beam 27 plus 15 mm from the zero position of the electrode device 6 at the front end of the scanner 7 scanning frame 35. The height value is fed back to the programmable controller 10-1. The programmable controller 10-1 converts the calculated height value of the article into an electrical signal and sends it to the vertical moving device 5, the positive electrostatic generator 8 and the negative electrostatic generator 9 respectively to make them work. The positive electrostatic generator 8 and the negative electrostatic generator After operation, the front electrode device 6 in the scanner 7 will operate and form a negative electric field and a positive electric field. By moving the vertical moving device 5, and during movement, the front electrode device 6 in the scanner 7 completes the scanning and disinfection of the front of the object at a distance of 15 mm from the front of the object. Then, the negative pole of the electric field formed by the electrode device 6 at the front end of the scanning frame 35 is used to polarize the S1 of the coronavirus spike protein S with a positive electrostatic potential energy surface on the front surface of the object and cause it to fall off; the positive pole of the electric field formed by the electrode device 6 at the front end of the scanning frame 35 is used to polarize the S2 of the coronavirus spike protein S with a negative electrostatic potential energy surface on the front surface of the object and cause it to fold, causing the spike protein S to undergo irreversible denaturation.

[0068] Then, the distance values ​​of the front and back of the detected object are fed back to the programmable controller 10-1 through the distance measuring sensor 26 arranged above the bottom of the first vertical pole 23-1. The distance measured by the distance measuring sensor 26 above the bottom of the first vertical pole 23-1 is the distance from the front of the object to the electrode device 6 at the lower end of the scanning frame 35 of the scanner 7 at the zero position plus 15 mm. The programmable controller 10-1 calculates the distance values ​​in front of and behind the object and converts the converted electrical signals into electrical signals, which are respectively sent to the horizontal moving device 4, the positive electrostatic generator 8 and the negative electrostatic generator 9 to make them work. After the positive electrostatic generator 8 and the negative electrostatic generator 9 work, the lower electrode device 6 in the scanner 7 will run and form a negative electromagnetic field and a positive electromagnetic field. Through the movement of the horizontal moving device 4, and when moving, the lower electrode device 6 in the scanner 7 completes the scanning and disinfection of the object at a distance of 15 mm from the top of the object. Then, the negative pole of the electric field formed by the electrode device 6 at the lower end of the scanning frame 35 is used to polarize and fall off the S1 of the coronavirus spike protein S on the surface of the object with a positive electrostatic potential energy surface; the positive pole of the electric field formed by the electrode device 6 at the front end of the scanning frame 35 is used to polarize and fold the S2 of the coronavirus spike protein S on the upper surface of the object with a negative electrostatic potential energy surface, causing the spike protein S to undergo irreversible denaturation.

[0069] The moving distance value of the horizontal moving device 4 is the distance value between the front and back of the object detected by the distance measuring sensor 26 above the bottom of the first vertical pole 23-1. The horizontal moving device 4 is controlled by the programmable controller 10-1.

[0070] When the horizontal moving device 4 is in operation, the first slide 30 of the horizontal moving device 4 drives the vertical moving device 5 to move horizontally, so that the scanner 7 connected to the vertical moving device 5 installed on the horizontal moving device 4 is close to the rectangular or cube-shaped object, and the front end of the object is consistent with the conveying direction of the conveyor line 12;

[0071] When scanning the back of an object, the distance values ​​between the front and back of the detected object are fed back to the programmable controller 10-1 through the distance measuring sensor 26 arranged above the bottom of the first vertical pole 23-1. The distance from the back of the object measured by the distance measuring sensor 26 above the bottom of the first vertical pole 23-1 is the distance from the back of the object to the electrode device 6 at the rear end of the scanning frame 35 of the scanner 7 at the zero position plus 15 mm. The programmable controller 10-1 calculates the distance values ​​in front and behind the object and converts the converted electrical signals into electrical signals, which are respectively sent to the horizontal moving device 4, the positive electrostatic generator 8 and the negative electrostatic generator 9 to make them work. After the positive electrostatic generator 8 and the negative electrostatic generator 9 work, the rear end electrode device 6 in the scanner 7 will run and form a negative electric field and a positive electric field. Through the up and down movement of the vertical moving device 5, and when moving, the rear end electrode device 6 in the scanner 7 completes the scanning and disinfection of the back of the object at a distance of 15 mm from the back of the object. Then, the negative pole of the electric field formed by the electrode device 6 at the rear end of the scanning frame 35 is used to polarize and fall off the S1 of the coronavirus spike protein S on the surface of the object with a positive electrostatic potential energy surface; the positive pole of the electric field formed by the electrode device 6 at the front end of the scanning frame 35 is used to polarize and fold the S2 of the coronavirus spike protein S on the upper surface of the object with a negative electrostatic potential energy surface, causing the spike protein S to undergo irreversible denaturation.

[0072] Subsequently, the article is transported out of the first disinfection zone 13 by the conveyor line. After the article completely passes the distance sensor 26 on the second column 28, the distance sensor 26 on the second column 28 feeds back the distance values ​​of the front and back of the article to the programmable controller 10-1. The programmable controller 10-1 calculates the distance values ​​of the front and back of the article and converts the converted electrical signals into the electrode device 6 in the third disinfection zone 15, the two electrode devices 6 set in the second disinfection zone 14, the positive electrostatic generator 8 and the negative electrostatic generator 9 and makes them work respectively. After the positive electrostatic generator 8 and the negative electrostatic generator 9 work, the two electrode devices 6 set in the second disinfection zone 14 will run and form a negative electric field and a positive electric field, and move the article through the conveyor line 12. When moving, the front of the article first passes through the electric field formed by the two electrode devices 6 set in the second disinfection zone 14. The negative electric field of the field is passed through the positive electric field formed by the two electrode devices 6 arranged in the second disinfection zone 14, and then the left and right sides of the article pass through the negative electric field and the positive electric field formed by the two electrode devices 6 arranged in the second disinfection zone 14 respectively. Finally, the back of the article passes through the negative electric field and the positive electric field formed by the two electrode devices 6 arranged in the second disinfection zone 14. That is to say, after the left and right sides of the article are scanned and disinfected by the negative electric field and the positive electric field formed by the two electrode devices 6 arranged in the second disinfection zone 14, the front and back of the article are scanned again in succession, so that the front and back are more thoroughly disinfected, which plays a double insurance role. Because when the article is moved out of the conveyor line, people are accustomed to holding the front and back of the article with their left and right hands. Therefore, the safety of people when carrying articles is effectively guaranteed, so that people are not infected by potential coronaviruses on the front and back surfaces of the articles.

[0073] When the items are transported, the distance sensor 26 arranged at the bottom of the first vertical pole 23-1 is used to control the stroke of the actuator 24, so that the push plate 25 always maintains a distance of 15mm between the items to be disinfected and the two distance sensors 26 on the second fixed frame 23. When the first disinfection zone scans the front, top, and back of the items, they are all scanned at a constant distance of 15mm. Therefore, the items are not touched by any parts. Therefore, when the left and right sides of the items pass through the two electrode devices 6 of the second disinfection zone, the front and back end surfaces of the items are also kept at 15mm from the corresponding electrode devices 6 of the second disinfection zone 14 to complete the scanning and disinfection. Furthermore, the negative pole of the electric field formed by the two electrode devices 6 in the second disinfection zone is used to polarize and detach the S1 with positive electrostatic potential energy surface of the coronavirus spike protein S on the left and right surfaces of the items.

[0074] The positive pole of the electric field formed by the two electrode devices 6 in the second disinfection zone is used to polarize and fold the S2 with negative electrostatic potential energy surface of the coronavirus spike protein S on the left and right surfaces of the object, causing the spike protein S to undergo irreversible denaturation.

[0075] The bottom surface of the article is scanned and disinfected through the third disinfection zone 15. The top of the electrode device 6 in the small frame 17 is 15 mm lower than the top of the conveyor line 12. Therefore, after the article is disinfected on both sides, the bottom surface of the article is transported by the conveyor line 12 and scanned by the negative electric field and the positive electric field formed by the electrode device 6 in the small frame 17 to complete the disinfection. Then, the negative pole of the electric field formed by the electrode device 6 in the third disinfection zone is used to polarize and fall off the S1 of the coronavirus spike protein S with a positive electrostatic potential energy surface on the bottom surface of the article; the positive pole of the electric field formed by the electrode device 6 in the third disinfection zone is used to polarize and fold the S2 of the coronavirus spike protein S with a negative electrostatic potential energy surface on the bottom surface of the article, causing the spike protein S to undergo irreversible denaturation. In summary, all six surfaces of the article are disinfected.

[0076] Electrode assembly 6 performs disinfection in the following manner: the electrode potential of electrode assembly 6 in first disinfection zone 13, second disinfection zone 14, and third disinfection zone 15 is 5 kV to 60 kV. The distance between electrode assembly 6 and the surface of the object is adjustable within a range of 1.25 mm to 250 mm, and is controlled by programmable controller 10-1 based on the voltage level. This distance range is a parameter for disinfection and does not change randomly during the disinfection process.

[0077] The effective range of electric field strength is 3×10 5 -4×10 6 V / m, the minimum residence time of the article in the electrode device 6 is 0.04 seconds, the widths of the negative electrode 6-2 and the positive electrode 6-3 are 3 mm respectively, and the conveying line speed is 4.2 m / min.

[0078] The electrode device 6 uses an electrostatic potential double electrode with a negative electrode 6-3 and a positive electrode 6-3. When an object passes through the electrode device 6, it sequentially enters the negative electric field generated by the negative electrode 6-3 in the electrode device 6 and the positive electric field generated by the positive electrode 6-2 in the electrode device 6;

[0079] In the negative electric field area, the positive electrostatic potential energy surface of the coronavirus spike protein S1 is polarized and detached by the negative electrode. After S1 is detached, the negative electrostatic potential energy surface of the virus S2 is subsequently polarized by the positive electrode to fold and denature, thereby achieving the purpose of disinfecting the coronavirus. The electrodes of the device use a double electrode with positive and negative electrostatic potential, that is, the positive electrode 6-3 is in front and the negative electrode 6-3 is in the back. This can also complete the disinfecting of the coronavirus, but the effect is not as good as the double electrode with negative and positive electrostatic potential.

[0080] Each electrode device 6 is equipped with a negative electrode 6-2 and a positive electrode 6-3. Because of the high voltage, an insulating plate 6-1 is required between the negative electrode 6-2 and the positive electrode 6-3. When disinfecting, each side of the object passes through the negative electrode first and then the positive electrode to increase the disinfection effect.

[0081] Example 2

[0082] The electrode device 6 adopts an alternating electric field mode. When working, the alternating electric field mode can form an alternating electric field as the electrode device 6 is added; for example, in the small frame 17 inside the third disinfection zone 15, more than two electrode devices 6 are set, so as to form a positive and negative electric field alternation mode. For another example, the second disinfection zone 14 is provided with more than two groups of vertical poles 36 on the frame body 1, and each vertical pole 36 is provided with an electrode shell 37. The openings between each electrode shell 37 are all set toward the conveyor line 12, and the electrode devices 6 are respectively installed inside the electrode shell 37, and the electrode devices 6 are respectively installed inside the electrode shell 37. The insulating plate 6-1 of the electrode shell 37 is provided with a negative electrode 6-2 of the electrode device 6 at the front end, and a positive electrode 6-3 of the electrode device 6 at the rear end of the insulating plate 6-1 of the electrode shell 37. In this way, when working, a negative and positive electric field alternation is formed. The positive and negative electric field waveforms formed by the electrode device 6 are square waves, triangle waves, and sine waves. The frequency range is 1K-3KHz, and the electrode potential is 2KV-100KV. The coronavirus spike protein S1 stretches and oscillates in the alternating electric field, causing it to denature at a lower electric field strength, thereby achieving the purpose of disinfecting the virus. Increasing the number of electrodes in each group can ensure that the coronavirus increases the speed of movement of items under the premise of meeting the minimum residence time in the electrode area, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the disinfecting efficiency.

[0084] Experimental part

[0085] 1. Virus toxicity (TCID50) determination:

[0086] A common method for measuring viral toxicity is the TCID50 (50% tissue culture infection dose, TCID50). The TCID50 represents the amount of virus that causes cytopathic effects in 50% of the inoculated cells. It is the virus dilution that causes cytopathic effects in half of the cell monolayer tubes (wells). This method only estimates the strength and quantity of viral infectivity and cannot accurately determine the number of infectious virus particles.

[0087] Karber method formula: lgTCID50=L+d(S-0.5)

[0088] Where: L- minimum dilution factor of virus

[0089] d-dilution coefficient, i.e. group distance

[0090] Sum of S-cell lesion ratios (excluding the lowest dilution lesion ratio)

[0091] For example: Table 1

[0092] Table 1 is the virus TCID50 determination table

[0093]

[0094] =-2

[0095] D=-1

[0096] S=4 / 4+4 / 4+3 / 4+2 / 4+0 / 4=4.25

[0097] lgTCID50=L+d(S-0.5)=-2+(-1)(4.25-0.5)=-5.75

[0098] TCID50 = 10-5.75 = 1 / 560000

[0099] If the dilution is 0.1 ml, then 1 ml contains 5,600,000 TCID50. The virus titer is usually expressed as the number of TCID50 per ml.

[0100] Experimental results:

[0101] The object moves through the second disinfection zone at a speed of 4.2 m / min, and the electrode voltage intensity is 4×10 3 V, virus titer (lgTCID50) with changing the distance between the electrode device and the surface of the object (r, mm);

[0102] Measurement results: When the electrode potential is fixed, r is inversely proportional to the electric field strength. During disinfection, it was found that the virulence (1g TCID50) of the virus does not respond linearly to the electric field; there is a window of time during which the disinfection effect is optimal. The experimental data are shown in Table 2.

[0103] Table 2 Relationship between the distance R between the electrode device and the surface of the object and the virus titer (1g TCID50)

[0104]

[0105] During disinfection, it was found that the virulence of the virus (lgTCID50) did not respond linearly to the electric field, and there was a window (the electric field strength was 2.7×10 4 V / m, under experimental conditions the distance between the electrode and the surface of the object is 15 mm), and the disinfection effect is best in this window.

[0106] The object moves through the second disinfection zone at a speed of V (m / min), and the electrode voltage intensity is 4×10 3 V, virus titer (1g TCID50) at the distance between the electrode device and the surface of the object (15 mm);

[0107] Measurement results: Under constant electric field strength conditions, the speed of the object is inversely proportional to the disinfection time. Experimental values ​​indicate that slower speeds result in longer disinfection times and better results. However, due to the short disinfection time required, disinfection effectiveness deteriorates significantly after a speed of 4.5 m / min. To balance disinfection effectiveness and efficiency, a speed of 4.2 m / min is considered feasible. The experimental data is shown in Table 3.
