Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of air disinfection, and in particular to an ultraviolet air disinfection and air supply system for a laminar flow operating room. Background Art
[0002] The laminar flow operating room is an air filtration and circulation system based on laminar flow purification technology. It effectively reduces the content of suspended particles and microorganisms in the operating area, creating a clean, low-microbial contamination operating environment, thereby reducing the risk of surgical infection. It is usually equipped with ultraviolet disinfection as an auxiliary means, using the C band of ultraviolet light (usually 253.7 nanometers) to destroy the DNA structure of microorganisms, preventing their replication and survival, thereby disinfecting the air and object surfaces. In addition, ozone is used to destroy the cell walls of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and molds, and oxidize their internal structures such as proteins, RNA, and DNA.
[0003] Ultraviolet rays directly irradiate the surface of objects or spread through the air, and can quickly and efficiently produce a disinfection effect on the directly irradiated area. Ozone has strong permeability and can penetrate deep into gaps and disinfect everywhere. However, ultraviolet rays have blind spots and are difficult to reach the inside of objects or sheltered areas. For large-scale air disinfection, a large ultraviolet dose or long-term irradiation is required. In addition, ultraviolet rays can cause damage to the skin and eyes, and ozone can irritate the respiratory tract, so both need to be used in an unmanned environment.
[0004] In an unmanned laminar flow operating room, ozone can be used for all-round disinfection followed by ventilation. In an unmanned laminar flow operating room, the air is first filtered to reduce the content of suspended particles and microorganisms, then disinfected by ultraviolet rays, and then sent into the operating room through the air supply system to form a laminar flow. However, during long-term operation, dust and microorganisms will gradually accumulate in the filtration system, making it difficult for ultraviolet rays to fully irradiate the filtration system for disinfection. The efficiency of the filtration system is reduced, and the content of active microorganisms and suspended particles in the air entering the operating room increases, resulting in an increased risk of surgical infection.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a laminar flow operating room ultraviolet air disinfection and air supply system to solve the problems raised in the above background technology. Summary of the Invention

[0016] See also Figures 1-4 In an embodiment of the present application, a laminar flow operating room ultraviolet air disinfection and air supply system includes: The regulating assembly 1 includes a control valve group 11, a compressor 12, an air supply module 14, and an air delivery connector 15. The air supply module 14 and the air delivery connector 15 are both connected to the control valve group 11. The air delivery connector 15 and the control valve group 11 are connected via the compressor 12. The control valve group 11 is connected to a disinfection assembly 2. The sterilized air is delivered to the operating room via the air supply module 14. The disinfection assembly 2 is composed of a compressed air tank 21 and an ultraviolet module 22. The fan 3 is provided on one side of the regulating assembly 1, the fan 3 is connected to the air delivery connector 15 through the air delivery pipe 31, and the fan 3 is provided with a disinfection assembly 2 4; The disinfection component 2 4 is composed of an adapter tube 41 and an ozone generating tank 42. The lower end of the adapter tube 41 is connected and fixed to the fan 3. The ozone generating tank 42 is fixedly provided on the upper end of the adapter tube 41. A adapter hose 43 is connected and fixed to the wall of the adapter tube 41. The ozone generating tank 42 is connected to the adapter hose 43 through a transmission pipe 44. The filter assembly 5 is arranged adjacent to the disinfection assembly 2 4, and the filter assembly 5 consists of a filter chamber 51, an air collecting chamber 52 and a primary filter screen 53. One end of the filter chamber 51 is connected and fixed to the transfer hose 43, and the other end of the filter chamber 51 is connected and fixed to the air collecting chamber 52, and the primary filter screen 53 is arranged in the air collecting chamber 52.
[0017] It should be explained that air is extracted by the operation of the fan 3, and the air first passes through the primary filter 53 to filter out some dust and debris. The air then enters the filter chamber 51 to further filter out viruses, microorganisms and dust. The air is then compressed by the compressor 12 and stored in the compressed gas tank 21. The air in the compressed gas tank 21 is controlled by the ultraviolet module 22 to be ultraviolet disinfected. The disinfected air can be regulated by the control valve group 11 and delivered to the operating room through the air supply module 14; In addition, the fan 3 is controlled to run in reverse, and the reverse air is regulated by the control valve group 11 to enter the filter chamber 51, and the ozone generating tank 42 is started to generate ozone. The generated ozone is driven by the reverse air and synchronously enters the filter chamber 51 for disinfection.
[0018] As a preferred embodiment, multiple compressed gas tanks 21 are connected in series and interconnected in sequence, the ultraviolet module 22 is fixed on a single compressed gas tank 21, and an ultraviolet disinfection lamp is provided inside each compressed gas tank 21, and the ultraviolet disinfection lamps are all connected to the ultraviolet module 22.
[0019] It should be explained that when ultraviolet disinfection is carried out in the compressed gas tank 21, the air has a smaller volume after compression, and the interior of the compressed gas tank 21 is smooth and has no dead corners, which can effectively avoid the disadvantages of ultraviolet irradiation disinfection. Moreover, the air is compressed and stored for disinfection in the compressed gas tank 21. Compared with direct flow of air for disinfection, the air disinfection time can be increased, and the disinfection quality can be further improved.
[0020] As a preferred embodiment, a pressure gauge 13 is provided on the control valve group 11, and the pressure gauge 13 is connected to the compressed gas tank 21 for air pressure monitoring. The pressure value in the compressed gas tank 21 is monitored by the pressure gauge 13 to assist the control valve group 11, the fan 3 and the ozone generating tank 42 in adjustment.
[0021] As a preferred embodiment, the air supply module 14 is connected to the compressed gas tank 21 through a control valve group 11 , and the control valve group 11 is used to adjust the air supply volume of the air supply module 14 .
[0022] As a preferred embodiment, there are two ways to connect the compressed gas tank 21 with the air delivery connector 15. One way is that the compressed gas tank 21 is connected to the air delivery connector 15 through the control valve group 11 and the compressor 12. The other way is that the compressed gas tank 21 is directly connected to the air delivery connector 15 through the control valve group 11.
[0023] As a preferred embodiment, the control valve group 11 is a two-way valve at the connection between the compressed gas tank 21 and the air delivery connector 15 , and the control valve group 11 can control the compressed gas tank 21 to deliver air in the reverse direction to the air delivery connector 15 .
[0024] As a preferred embodiment, the interior of the fan 3 is only connected to the adapter tube 41 and the air delivery pipe 31, and the connection portion between the fan 3 and the adapter tube 41 and the air delivery pipe 31 is sealed.
[0025] It should be explained that the air pressure value in the compressed gas tank 21 can adjust the operating power of the fan 3, and when the air pressure value in the compressed gas tank 21 reaches the maximum value, the compressed gas tank 21 can be controlled to reversely deliver air to the air delivery connector 15 through the control valve group 11, and the fan 3 can be controlled to rotate in the opposite direction, and the ozone generation tank 42 can be started to disinfect the inside of the filter chamber 51.
[0026] It should be explained that when the ozone generating tank 42 is working, the compressed gas tank 21 reversely delivers air in a low-pressure supply mode to ensure that the ozone is retained in the filter chamber 51 for a long time to be fully disinfected. The use of ozone disinfection fully utilizes the high permeability of ozone to disinfect the filter chamber 51 where viruses and the like are gathered. At the same time, the ozone does not enter the operating room and does not come into contact with the human body.
[0027] As a preferred embodiment, multiple layers of filter elements are evenly distributed axially in the filter chamber 51, the ozone generating tank 42 is independently controlled and operated, and the ozone generated by the ozone generating tank 42 is sequentially transported to the filter chamber 51 through the transmission pipe 44 and the adapter hose 43 to disinfect the filter element. The multiple layers of filter elements form a HEPA filter, which can filter out bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms to ensure that the air subsequently entering the operating room is highly pure.
[0028] It should be explained that the compressed gas tank 21 can also be used to reversely deliver air in a short-term high-pressure supply mode to blow out the viruses and the like accumulated on the filter element. In addition, the primary filter 53 is located on the outermost layer for easy replacement. During specific implementation, air is extracted through the operation of the fan 3, and the air first passes through the primary filter 53 to filter out some dust and debris. The air then enters the filter chamber 51 to further filter out viruses, microorganisms and dust. The air is then compressed and stored in the compressed gas tank 21 and disinfected with ultraviolet light. The disinfected air is transported to the operating room through the air supply module 14; in addition, the compressed gas tank 21 can reversely transport air into the filter chamber 51, and at the same time, the ozone generated by the ozone generation tank 42 synchronously enters the filter chamber 51 for disinfection. During the whole process, both ultraviolet rays and ozone work in an unmanned environment, and provide a dead-angle-free irradiation environment and a smaller irradiation space for ultraviolet rays, giving full play to the strong permeability of ozone and more efficiently disinfecting the air.
[0029] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present application, but the scope of protection of the present application is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and application concept of the present application within the technical scope disclosed in the present application, and they should be covered by the scope of protection of the present application.
