Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a sterile chamber, and in particular to a combination sterile chamber that can be used independently. [Background technology]

[0002] As disclosed in Patent Document 1, for example, a sterile isolation operating device includes a control case, a drug storage box, a pressurized processing case, and a preparation table that forms a sterile preparation space, where the drug storage box is provided on the left side of the preparation table and a mobile culture device is further provided on the right side of the preparation table. An operator prepares drugs or processing specimens in the sterile preparation space of the preparation table, and works in the sterile preparation space using at least one working assembly contained in the sterile preparation space.

[0003] In this conventional device, the drug storage box and the preparation table are designed as an integrated unit, and when disassembled and separated, they are no longer in a sealed environment and cannot be used independently. If it is necessary to add or replenish the drug stored in the drug storage box, one must wait until the work in the sterile preparation space is finished, which takes time.

[0004] Furthermore, in conventional mobile culture equipment, when the preparation table is connected, the sterile preparation space is connected to the outside space, so that outside air can enter the sterile preparation space, destroying the sterile environment and causing external bacteria to contaminate the medicine or specimen. To avoid a decrease in reliability, the frequency of sterilization must be increased, which increases the process cost. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0010] The technical contents of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Referring to Figures 1, 2A, 2B and 4, the present invention discloses a combination sterile chamber including at least two box bodies 10 connected in series, a first alignment coupling structure 20, a second alignment coupling structure 30, at least two cathode locks 40, a plurality of laboratory equipment 50, and at least one wireless connection device 60.

[0011] Each box body 10 has a sealed space 11, and in at least one box body 10, at least one experimental device 50 and one wireless connection device 60 are provided in the sealed space 11. The wireless connection device 60 is connected to the experimental device 50 in the box body 10, and the operator wirelessly connects to the wireless connection device 60 via a remote control device 70 to independently remotely control and monitor the experimental device 50 (see Figure 4). The remote control device 70 can be any one selected from a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, etc.

[0012] In this embodiment, the multiple pieces of experimental equipment 50 are selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen peroxide sterilization device 50A, an electron microscope 50B, a centrifuge 50C, and an electric fan 50D. The hydrogen peroxide sterilization device 50A supplies hydrogen peroxide into the sealed space 11 to sterilize the sealed space 11. The electron microscope 50B is used for microscopic work. The electric fan 50D blows out clean laminar air to maintain a sterile and dust-free environment. In addition, each box body 10 is provided with a group of rollers 51 that support and move the box body 10, allowing the box body 10 to be easily moved.

[0013] In this embodiment, there are three box bodies 10 connected in series, namely, an incubator 10A, a main chamber 10B, and a material box 10C. A centrifuge 50C is installed in the sealed space 11 of the box body 10, which is the main chamber 10B, and is used in the purification process.

[0014] 1 and 4, the box body 10 has a central control panel 80, preferably provided in the material box 10C, connected to the wireless connection device 60, and controlling the operation of the multiple laboratory instruments 50 in the box body 10, i.e., the hydrogen peroxide sterilization apparatus 50A, the electron microscope 50B, the centrifuge 50C, and the electric fan 50D. The box body 10 may further have an information display board 81, preferably provided in the incubator 10A, connected to the wireless connection device 60, and displaying the operating status of the multiple laboratory instruments 50 in the box body 10, i.e., the hydrogen peroxide sterilization apparatus 50A, the electron microscope 50B, the centrifuge 50C, and the electric fan 50D, more specifically, displaying an image of the electron microscope 50B. As a result, the operator can wirelessly connect to the wireless connection device 60 using the remote control device 70 and remotely operate the central control panel 80 to control the operations of the hydrogen peroxide disinfection device 50A, the electron microscope 50B, the centrifuge 50C, and the fan 50D. The operator can also remotely obtain the information displayed on the information display board 81 to know the operating status of the hydrogen peroxide disinfection device 50A, the electron microscope 50B, the centrifuge 50C, and the fan 50D.

[0015] 1, 2A, 2B, 2C, and 2D, two adjacent box bodies 10 are each provided with a first connecting door 12 and a second connecting door 13, which each communicate with the sealed space 11 (see FIG. 2C). The first connecting door 12 has a first outer wall surface 121, and the second connecting door 13 has a second outer wall surface 131, which fits to the first outer wall surface 121.

[0016] The first alignment coupling structure 20 has two first convex ribs 21, which are provided on the box body 10 and located on both sides of the first connecting door 12, and each first convex rib 21 is provided with at least one alignment guide wheel 22, which is located on the first convex rib 21. If there are multiple alignment guide wheels 22, the multiple alignment guide wheels 22 are evenly arranged on the first convex rib 21 (see Figure 2A), and an elastic element (not shown) is provided between the at least one alignment guide wheel 22 and the first convex rib 21, which causes the at least one alignment guide wheel 22 to slightly protrude from the first convex rib 21 and is retracted into the first convex rib 21 after the two first convex ribs 21 and the two second convex ribs 31 are aligned and joined. The second alignment and joining structure 30 has two second convex ribs 31, which are provided on the box body 10 and located on both sides of the second connecting door 13, and the positions of the two first convex ribs 21 and the two second convex ribs 31 correspond to each other, so that they can be aligned and joined.

[0017] In one embodiment, at least one sensor 23 can be provided on each of the two first convex ribs 21, and the at least one sensor 23 detects whether or not the two first convex ribs 21 have come into contact with the corresponding box body 10, thereby ensuring that joining through alignment is carried out smoothly. In addition, a ball 32 is provided on the sliding contact surface 311 of the second convex rib 31 that slides and comes into contact with the first convex rib 21, and the ball 32 makes the relative sliding of the two first convex ribs 21 and the two second convex ribs 31 smoother, thereby allowing them to move more smoothly to the predetermined position when joining through alignment.

[0018] At least two cathode locks 40 are provided between two first convex ribs 21 and two second convex ribs 31, and each of the at least two cathode locks 40 has a latch bolt 41 and a lock body 42 provided on the contact surfaces of the two first convex ribs 21 and the two second convex ribs 31, respectively. Each first convex rib 21 is aligned and coupled to the second convex rib 31 by at least one alignment guide wheel 22. By inserting and locking the latch bolt 41 into the lock body 42, the two box bodies 10 are locked and joined together, and the first outer wall surface 121 and the second outer wall surface 131 face each other and are completely bonded together (see Figure 2C). The first connecting door 12 and the second connecting door 13 can be opened together (see Figure 2D) to connect the sealed spaces 11 of the two adjacent box bodies 10.

[0019] In one embodiment, the sealed space 11 with a large space is selected as the work space, and if the space is the same, one can be selected according to needs. The first connecting door 12 and the second connecting door 13 are opened toward the work space together, that is, the opening directions of the first connecting door 12 and the second connecting door 13 are opposite to each other relative to the box body 10, so that they can be opened toward the work space together.

[0020] Since the first outer wall surface 121 and the second outer wall surface 131 that come into contact with the outside air face each other and are completely bonded together, when the first connecting door 12 and the second connecting door 13 are opened together, the first outer wall surface 121 and the second outer wall surface 131 are not exposed to the sealed space 11, and the sterile environment of the sealed space 11 is not destroyed, so there is no need to perform sterilization work again.

[0021] 3, at least one box body 10 can be designed as a module, i.e., the number of incubators 10A, main chambers 10B, and material boxes 10C can be freely set and connected in series according to actual needs. In another embodiment, the number of at least two box bodies 10 connected in series is four, of which one box body 10 is an incubator 10A, two box bodies 10 are main chambers 10B, one box body 10 is a material box 10C, and there are two main chambers 10B, which can increase the operating space and number to meet specific usage needs.

[0022] 5 and 6, the box body 10 has an opening 14, a box door 15, a plurality of supports 16, and at least one partition plate 17. The opening 14 communicates with the sealed space 11, the box door 15 closes the opening 14, and the sealed space 11 has two side walls 111, which are adjacent to the opening 14.

[0023] The plurality of supports 16 are provided on the two side walls 111 correspondingly, and preferably, the plurality of supports 16 are provided at equal intervals on the two side walls 111. A pair of the plurality of supports 16 located on different side walls 111 forms a support structure 161, and there is a spacing height 162 between two adjacent support structures 161.

[0024] The at least one partition plate 17 is selectively provided on one of the plurality of support structures 161 according to the size of the at least one specimen box 90, forming an independent drawer structure that allows the at least one specimen box 90 to be easily taken in and out. The at least one partition plate 17 divides the sealed space 11 into at least one partial space 112, and the at least one partial space 112 is suitable for storing at least one specimen box 90, allowing the at least one specimen box 90 to be classified and stored separately.

[0025] Referring to Figure 7, which is a schematic diagram of the use of another embodiment of the present invention, when storing a specimen box 90A with a large height dimension in the box body 10 (compared to the specimen box 90 in Figure 6), at least one partition plate 17 can be used, and at least one partition plate 17 can be provided on the support 16 at an appropriate position.In this case, the sealed space 11 can be divided into an appropriately large subspace 112A, which is suitable for storing a specimen box 90A with a large height dimension.

[0026] Referring to Figure 8, which is a schematic diagram of the use of another embodiment of the present invention, when a specimen box 90B with a larger width dimension is stored in the box body 10 (compared to the specimen box 90A in Figure 7), the partial space 112A obtained by dividing the sealed space 11 is suitable for storing the specimen box 90B with a larger width dimension.

[0027] As can be seen from the above, the independently usable sterile chambers of the present invention have the following features: 1. At least two box bodies each have an independent sealed space, so they can be used independently. When two adjacent box bodies are combined for use, the first and second outer wall surfaces that come into contact with the outside air face each other and are completely bonded together, so that the outside air does not enter or come into contact with the sterile environment of the sealed space at all, eliminating the problem of external bacterial contamination. 2. At least two box bodies are designed as modules, so the number of incubators, main chambers and material boxes can be freely set and connected in series according to actual needs, which can meet various usage needs. 3. Each box body has a hydrogen peroxide disinfection device, so specimens such as cell samples, culture media, etc. can be placed in the box body for sterilization, saving the waiting time required for sterilization before placing them in. 4. Each box body has a group of rollers, which allows the box body to be easily moved, meeting the needs of modular assembly and disassembly. 5. At least one positioning hole and at least one positioning pillar are designed to have corresponding positions and matching shapes, and at least one positioning hole and at least one positioning pillar are tapered, so that the first connecting door and the second connecting door can be automatically positioned. 6. The first and second connecting structures are connected by matching recesses and protrusions, which allows for intuitive operation and provides a foolproof effect. 7. A wireless connection device is provided on the box body, and the operator can wirelessly connect to the wireless connection device using a remote control device to remotely control and monitor multiple pieces of experimental equipment independently to perform specific tasks, thereby meeting the needs of remote control use and remotely monitoring the operating status of multiple pieces of experimental equipment to improve the operator's work efficiency. 8. By providing at least one partition plate on different support structures, the storage space can be divided into sub-spaces of different sizes, which can accommodate specimen boxes of different sizes and improve the versatility of the box body. 9. At least one partition plate can be pulled out independently, so that at least one specimen box can be classified and stored separately, and at least one specimen box can be easily taken in and out. 10. At least one specimen box is stored separately in a different subspace to reduce the possibility of contaminating other specimen boxes if the specimen box has passed its expiration date and bacteria leaks.
