[0002] In modern scientific research and testing activities, laboratories have extremely high requirements for environmental sterility. Whether it's microbial culture, cell experiments, or precise chemical analysis, airborne bacteria, dust particles, and other contaminants can interfere with the experimental process, leading to biased results, or even serious consequences such as sample contamination and experimental failure. Therefore, efficient and reliable sterile ventilation equipment is a key facility for ensuring the safe operation of laboratories and the accuracy of experimental results.

[0003] Currently, most commercially available sterile ventilation systems for laboratories suffer from inconvenient filter replacement. Most systems employ a one-piece sealed structure, fixing the filter inside the equipment. Replacement requires specialized tools to disassemble the outer casing, a cumbersome and time-consuming process. Furthermore, because the filter is tightly connected to the internal structure, disassembly can easily damage the component, increasing maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0023] 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.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-5A sterile ventilation and air exchange device for a laboratory includes an inlet damper 1, a filter assembly 2 connected to one end of the inlet damper 1 by bolts, a rectangular frame 3 connected to one end of the filter assembly 2, a support plate 4 connected to the inner wall of the rectangular frame 3 by bolts, an ultraviolet lamp 5 connected to the outer surface of the support plate 4, an air suction hood 6 connected to one end of the rectangular frame 3 by bolts, a fan 7 fixedly connected to one end of the air suction hood 6, and an air outlet hood 8 connected to the air outlet of the fan 7.

[0025] The filter assembly 2 includes a housing 21. A guide groove plate 22 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 21. A positioning strip 23 is slidably connected inside the guide groove plate 22. A frame plate 24 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the positioning strip 23. A filter plate 25 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame plate 24. A handle 26 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the frame plate 24. Slots 27 are provided on the top and bottom surfaces of the frame plate 24. A side block 28 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 21. A sliding sleeve 29 is connected to the inner wall of the housing 21 by screws. A sleeve rod 210 is slidably connected inside the side block 28. An insert block 211 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sleeve rod 210. A transverse rod 212 is fixedly connected to the top end of the sleeve rod 210. A gear 213 is fixedly connected to one end of the transverse rod 212. A gear 214 is meshed with the gear 213. A knob 215 is connected to the center of the end face of the gear 214. A compression spring 216 is sleeved on the outer surface of the sleeve rod 210.

[0026] Specifically, the housing 21 is connected to the inlet damper 1 by a through bolt, and an airflow dispersion plate 9 is also clamped and connected between the housing 21 and the inlet damper 1.

[0027] The advantage is that an airflow dispersion plate 9 is provided between the housing 21 and the inlet damper 1, which makes the airflow into the filter assembly 2 more uniform. Through this uniform distribution, the airflow can fully contact the filter plate 25, thereby improving the filtration effect, ensuring that pollutants in the air are removed more effectively, and providing a cleaner sterile environment for the laboratory.

[0028] Specifically, the filter plate 25 has a multi-layer composite structure, including a primary filter layer, a high-efficiency filter layer and an activated carbon adsorption layer; the primary filter layer uses fiber filter material with a pore size of 5-10μm, and the high-efficiency filter layer is a HEPA filter.

[0029] The advantages are that the primary filtration layer, through fiber filter media with a pore size of 5-10μm, can first trap larger particulate pollutants in the air (such as dust, hair, etc.), reducing the burden on subsequent filtration layers; the HEPA filter of the high-efficiency filtration layer can efficiently filter out fine particles larger than 0.3μm (including bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms), achieving high-precision air purification; the activated carbon adsorption layer removes harmful gases (such as formaldehyde, odors, etc.) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the air through adsorption; the three-layer structure works synergistically to form a multi-stage filtration system, effectively filtering particulate pollutants, microorganisms, and harmful gases in the air, significantly improving the air purification effect, and helping the laboratory environment meet strict sterility requirements.

[0030] Specifically, the insert 211 is inserted into the interior of the slot 27, the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 29 slides in contact with the toothed rod 213, the gear 214 meshes with two toothed rods 213 around its axis, one end of the compression spring 216 abuts against the insert 211, and the other end of the compression spring 216 abuts against the side block 28.

[0031] The advantages are that when the filter plate 25 needs to be replaced after prolonged use due to the accumulation of dust and bacteria, turning the knob 215 will drive the gear 214 to rotate. The gear 214 will drive the two meshing racks 213 to move relative to each other. In this way, the two racks 213 will drive the transverse rod 212, which will drive the sleeve rod 210. The sleeve rod 210 will drive the insert block 211 to be pulled out from the slot 27. At this time, the frame plate 24 is no longer fixed. By pulling the handle 26, the frame plate 24 can be moved, and the frame plate 24 will drive the filter plate 25 to be pulled out from the inside of the housing 21. When a new filter plate 25 needs to be installed, the positioning strip 23 is aligned with the guide groove plate 22 and inserted. The frame plate 24 will then smoothly enter the inside of the housing 21. Under the action of the compression spring 216, the insert block 211 will be inserted into the slot 27. The overall structure facilitates the quick replacement of the filter plate 25 and other components in the filter assembly 2.

[0032] Specifically, the end of the housing 21 relative to the inlet damper 1 is bolted to the rectangular frame 3, and several equally spaced airflow dispersion plates 10 are welded to the inner wall of the rectangular frame 3.

[0033] Specifically, there are two support plates 4, and multiple ultraviolet lamps 5 are installed between the two support plates 4. The multiple ultraviolet lamps 5 are interspersed inside the airflow dispersion plate 2 10.

[0034] The advantages are that the airflow dispersion plates 10, which are welded to the inner wall of the rectangular frame 3 at equal intervals, can further disperse the airflow after passing through the filter component 2 evenly, avoiding the problem of concentrated airflow leading to excessively high local flow rates or insufficient purification, and ensuring that the airflow forms a stable and uniform flow state within the rectangular frame. On this basis, a support plate 4 and an ultraviolet lamp 5 are set up. The support plate 4 is used to fix the ultraviolet lamp 5, so that the ultraviolet lamp 5 is evenly distributed within the rectangular frame 3. The ultraviolet lamp 5 can irradiate microorganisms (such as bacteria and viruses) in the airflow by emitting ultraviolet light, destroying their DNA structure and achieving the effect of sterilization and disinfection. The combination of the airflow dispersion plates 10, the support plate 4, and the ultraviolet lamp 5 can not only ensure that the airflow comes into uniform contact with the ultraviolet lamp 5, but also improve the thoroughness of sterilization through sufficient ultraviolet irradiation, jointly ensuring that the air after ventilation in the laboratory meets the sterility standard.

[0035] In use, firstly, by connecting the inlet damper 1 to the air inlet end of the laboratory ventilation pipe and the outlet hood 8 to the air outlet end of the laboratory ventilation pipe, the fan 7 is started to create negative pressure at the inlet damper 1 to draw in outside air. Next, after passing through the inlet damper 1, the air is dispersed by the airflow dispersion plate 9 and enters the interior of the housing 21. It then passes through the primary filtration layer (retaining larger particles of 5-10μm), the high-efficiency filtration layer (HEPA filter to filter fine particles and microorganisms larger than 0.3μm), and the activated carbon adsorption layer (removing harmful gases and odors) of the filter plate 25 in sequence, completing multi-stage filtration. The filtered air enters the rectangular frame 3, where the airflow is further evenly dispersed by the airflow dispersion plates 10 arranged at equal intervals on the inner wall. Subsequently, the evenly flowing air passes through the ultraviolet lamp 5 fixed by the support plate 4, using ultraviolet irradiation to destroy the DNA structure of microorganisms, achieving sterilization and disinfection. Finally, the sterilized air enters the fan 7 through the suction hood 6 and is discharged into the laboratory ventilation pipe through the outlet hood 8, completing the entire process of sterile ventilation.

[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
