[0007] Furthermore, the bottom of the filter box is machined with a first ventilation slot, a second ventilation slot, a third ventilation slot, and a fourth ventilation slot for supplying fresh air;
[0008] The filter box is equipped with an elastic windproof cloth for opening and closing the first ventilation slot, the second ventilation slot, the third ventilation slot and the fourth ventilation slot.
[0009] The filter box is equipped with a limiting component for pulling the elastic windproof cloth.
[0010] Furthermore, the operating room is equipped with a circulation pipe for connecting to the circulation unit.
[0011] Furthermore, a connecting shaft is installed at the upper end of the motor.
[0012] Furthermore, the inner wall of the filter box is equipped with multiple limiting rails, and a limiting rod is installed inside the limiting rail. A limiting slider for limiting the elastic windproof cloth is sleeved on the rod body of the limiting rod, and a spring is sleeved on the lower end of the rod body of the limiting rod.
[0013] Furthermore, multiple limiting rails are installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the filter box.

Detailed Implementation
[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0029] An example of an adjustable cleanliness air conditioning system for operating rooms, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the system includes a fresh air handling unit 20 and a recirculation unit 30, both located outside the operating room 10. The air outlet of the fresh air handling unit 20 is connected to the air inlet of the recirculation unit 30, and the air inlet of the fresh air handling unit 20 is open to the outside atmosphere. Air from the operating room 10 is transported through a recirculation pipe 12 to the recirculation unit 30 for circulation, and then to the fresh air handling unit 20 for further purification. A filter unit 01 is installed inside the operating room 10, and the filter unit 01 is connected to the air outlet of the recirculation unit 30 via a pipe for filtering the fresh air.
[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the filter unit 01 includes a filter box 100, and a filter assembly 200 is installed inside the filter box 100. The filter assembly 200 includes a rotating block 210, which is movably installed on the upper end of the inner cavity of the filter box 100. Multiple filter elements 220 evenly distributed circumferentially are installed inside the rotating block 210. Bolts 221 are installed at the lower end of each filter element 220 to fix it to the rotating block 210. Multiple ventilation holes 212 are machined on the upper end of the rotating block 210, and the ventilation holes 212 correspond to the positions of the filter elements 220.
[0031] A limiting ring 160 for limiting the position of the filter assembly 200 is installed at the upper end of the inner cavity of the filter box 100, and a rotating block 210 is movably installed inside the limiting ring 160. The rotating block 210 can rotate inside the limiting ring 160. A cavity for the rotating block 210 to rotate is provided inside the limiting ring 160. The limiting ring 160 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the inner cavity of the filter box 100.
[0032] The upper end of the limiting ring 160 is provided with an air inlet 161 to facilitate the supply of fresh air to the filter element 220. There is one air inlet 161, and the air inlet 161 and a ventilation hole 212 are aligned. The bottom end of the limiting ring 160 is provided with a through hole, the diameter of which is smaller than the diameter of the rotating block 210, so that fresh air can enter the lower end of the filter box 100.
[0033] A sealing ring 211 is installed on the outside of the ventilation hole 212 at the upper end of the rotating block 210. An annular groove is provided at the top of the limiting ring 160. The sealing ring 211 extends into the annular groove and is slidably sealed to the annular groove to prevent fresh air from being delivered to the operating room 10 without filtration.
[0034] A motor 110 is installed at the bottom of the filter box 100 to drive the filter assembly 200 to rotate. A connecting shaft 111 is installed at the upper end of the motor 110. The connecting shaft 111 is fixedly installed at the bottom center of the rotating block 210. The motor 110 controls the rotation of the connecting shaft 111 to facilitate switching between different filter assemblies 200 for filtration. When surgery is not required, the filter is switched to the daily-use filter 220. When surgery is required, a clean (or unused) filter 220 is used for filtration. After the surgery, the filter is switched back to the daily-use filter 220. This flexible adjustment is based on the cleanliness requirements of the operating room, reducing the consumption cost of the filter 220. When there is no clean (or unused) filter, it is removed and replaced with a new filter for use in the next surgery, improving the cleanliness of the surgical environment and extending the replacement cycle, thus reducing labor costs.
[0035] In some embodiments, a plurality of vertically arranged limiting rails 120 are fixedly installed on the inner cavity sidewall of the filter box 100. A limiting rod 121 is fixedly installed inside the limiting rail 120. A limiting slider 130 is sleeved on the rod body of the limiting rod 121. The middle part of the elastic windproof cloth 40 is fixed to one side of the limiting slider 130 by bolts. A spring 122 is sleeved on the lower end of the rod body of the limiting rod 121.
[0036] The bottom of the filter box 100 is machined with a first ventilation slot 1, a second ventilation slot 2, a third ventilation slot 3 and a fourth ventilation slot 4 for the circulation of fresh air. The diameter of the circle formed by the first ventilation slot 1, the second ventilation slot 2, the third ventilation slot 3 and the fourth ventilation slot 4 increases sequentially.
[0037] The filter box 100 is equipped with an elastic windbreak cloth 40 for opening and closing the first ventilation slot 1, the second ventilation slot 2, the third ventilation slot 3, and the fourth ventilation slot 4. The elastic windbreak cloth 40 forms a cone-shaped cylinder when fully expanded. The filter box 100 is also equipped with multiple limiting components 150 for pulling the elastic windbreak cloth 40.
[0038] The limiting component 150 includes a lead screw nut 151, a connecting block 152 fixedly installed at the upper end of the lead screw nut 151, a first threaded hole 153 machined on the top of the connecting block 152, an arc plate 154 fixedly installed at both ends of the first threaded hole 153, a plurality of second threaded holes 155 machined on the upper end of the arc plate 154, and a plurality of third threaded holes 156 machined on the side wall of the arc plate 154. The lower end of the elastic windbreak cloth 40 is fixed to the first threaded hole 153, the second threaded hole 155 and the third threaded hole 156 respectively by bolts, so as to drive the elastic windbreak cloth 40 to move. The lead screw nut 151 drives the arc plate 154 to move, so as to drive the elastic windbreak cloth 40 to open and close the first ventilation slot 1, the second ventilation slot 2, the third ventilation slot 3 and the fourth ventilation slot 4, thereby controlling the air volume. The adjacent limiting components 150 are staggered, and the stress points of the elastic windbreak cloth 40 are increased by the arc plate 154, reducing stress concentration; the arc length of the arc plate 154 is less than the arc length of the distance between the adjacent first ventilation slots 1, so as to avoid interfering with the ventilation slots.
[0039] Multiple limiting rails 140 are installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the filter box 100. The limiting rails 140 are arranged radially along the bottom of the filter box 100. A reciprocating screw 141 for controlling the movement of the limiting component 150 is installed inside the limiting rail 140. The screw nut 151 is sleeved on the reciprocating screw 141. A motor 142 for controlling the rotation of the reciprocating screw 141 is installed at one end of the reciprocating screw 141. When the motor 142 is started, the reciprocating screw 141 is driven to rotate, which drives the screw nut 151 to move on the reciprocating screw. This causes the limiting component 150 to pull the elastic windproof cloth 40 toward the connecting shaft 111. At this time, the limiting slider 130 slides downward and presses down the spring 122, so that the elastic windproof cloth 40 sequentially opens and closes the fourth ventilation slot 4, the third ventilation slot 3, the second ventilation slot 2 and the first ventilation slot 1 to adjust the air volume delivered into the operating room 10. When the limiting component 150 moves toward the inner wall of the filter box 100, the spring 122 resets and pushes the limiting slider 130 upward, so as to drive the elastic windproof cloth 40 to reset.
[0040] In some embodiments, the limiting track 140 and the limiting component 150 are disposed inside the bottom wall of the filter box 100, so that the elastic windbreak cloth 40 moves close to the inner bottom wall of the filter box 100 to prevent fresh air from entering the unopened ventilation slots. The elastic windbreak cloth 40 opens to the first ventilation slot 1 for ventilation volume of a Class I cleanroom; it opens to the first and second ventilation slots 1 and 2 for ventilation volume of a Class II cleanroom; it opens to the first, second, and third ventilation slots 1 and 2 for ventilation volume of a Class III cleanroom; and it opens to the first, second, third, and fourth ventilation slots 3 for ventilation volume of a Class IV cleanroom. Cleanliness is adjusted by regulating the airflow. The operating room 10 is equipped with an air outlet 11 for discharging air to the outside of the operating room 10, which can be closed or opened as needed.
