Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a room that provides protection against COVID-19 infection and prevents its spread. [Background technology]

[0002] The novel coronavirus is spreading worldwide, reaching a pandemic state, and more highly contagious viruses, such as the Omicron strain, are emerging. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] Hospitals are overwhelmed, and people infected with the new coronavirus are forced to quarantine at home, which can lead to the spread of the virus to healthy people living with them, resulting in cluster infections within households and in group living situations. There is a need for shelters where patients can recuperate in peace and live safely without infecting healthy people around them. This is the problem that the present invention aims to solve. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] As a means of solving this problem, The room is sealed with an iron door or similar to prevent omicron and other viruses from entering or leaving, and the room is kept under negative pressure to prevent the omicron and other viruses from escaping and spreading from the infected person. A stairwell is provided as a means of creating this negative pressure, creating a chimney effect that allows the omicron and other viruses to be expelled into the open air, creating a shelter. That is, the characteristic structure is 1. Create negative pressure in the room by creating an open ceiling. 2. This keeps the room constantly purified. 3. The entrance and exit will be sealed with an iron door or similar. 3. The shelter is constructed with walls rather than pillars, which means that the shelter remains airtight even in the event of an earthquake. [Effects of the Invention]

[0005] The present invention provides 1. This room can also be used for Omicron-infected patients who are waiting at home because the hospital is full. 2. This room can also be used by family members to protect close relatives from Omicrons. 3. A room or building that protects both patients and healthy people from omicrons. 4. It can be applied to individual homes, apartment complexes, condominiums, and other buildings. 5. It is an effective shelter against atomic bombs, earthquakes, and fires, and the four features mentioned above are not lost even if these are present. This has the following effect. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0006] [Figure 1] This is a cross-sectional view of a well-known building (for example, two-story) with an open-ceiling structure. [Figure 2] 1 is a plan view (first floor portion) showing a first embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 3] FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the AA' portion of the first embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 4] FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view of the second embodiment of the present invention taken along the line AA'. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0007] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0008] Figure 1 shows a well-known building, for example a two-story house. Even if a void 1 is provided to let in light and create an open space, the void is simply used to create a space that runs through the first and second floors, and since there is a ceiling 2 and roof 3, it does not create negative pressure. Door 4 is not airtight because it can be opened and closed. If a patient infected with COVID-19 is present, even if the room is partitioned, the coronavirus will escape because it is under positive pressure, not negative pressure. The room door is not sealed, so the virus leaks out from here, travels through the atrium, and spreads throughout the building and outside, infecting other residents. Infected people also need to eat, so opening and closing the door is a minimum requirement, and because the room is under positive pressure, the virus spreads outside to other rooms each time.

[0009] [First embodiment] As shown in Figures 2, 3 and 4, the first embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that the door 41 of the present invention is a sealed door made of iron or the like, and all parts of the door that open and close are connected to the atrium section 11 of the present invention that runs through all floors, and the upper part of the atrium section 11 of the present invention is open to the outside air.

[0010] More specifically, Figure 2 shows the actual floor plan of a building that the inventors of the present invention designed and constructed based on this invention, with rooms capable of accommodating many people. Each room is independently designed to be at negative pressure relative to the atmosphere, as shown in Figure 2. The hallway is also provided with a door 42 leading to the outside, which is also a sealed door made of iron or the like according to the present invention.

[0011] In the center of the building in Figure 2, there is a void 11 that runs through all floors, and the upper part is not sealed with a ceiling. A ceiling 12 made of a sheet or the like is provided to protect from rain and let in light, but the structure is open to the outside air.

[0012] The building of the present invention in Figure 2 has a wall structure 8 without pillars. This means that even in the event of an earthquake, there are no gaps between the pillars and the walls, which can reduce airtightness, and the rooms are highly airtight. The entrance and exit doors 41 are made of iron and have thick seals, making them airtight. A common passage 7 is also provided, and all rooms have room ventilation holes 5 in the atrium 11, so that warm air 6 from the rooms flows toward the atrium 11. As a result, the air in the rooms flows toward the atrium 11, which rises due to the chimney effect, creating negative pressure in each room.

[0013] An upper wall 12, such as a transparent vinyl sheet, is provided from the through-hole portion 11 so that light can enter. The bottom surface of the through-hole portion always has a predetermined temperature (for example, 15 degrees or more in winter), and the room heating 6 is also added. An upward airflow is generated by the chimney effect, and as a result, the room becomes negative pressure, which is a measure to prevent the spread of the Omicron virus. The rising air is discharged to the outside from above by natural forces. FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment of the present invention in which this is performed by an exhaust fan 12.

[0014] Assuming that the pressure in each room is P1, the pressure in the through-hole portion is P2, and the pressure of the outside air is P3, the airtightness of each room is high and the pressure is negative, so the intrusion of outside air into the room is small, and since it is discharged from above the through-hole portion, P1 < P2 < P3. Therefore, the air flow is from the room through the through-hole and toward the upper airspace of the outside air. Since each room is under negative pressure with respect to the atmosphere, new coronavirus, Omicron virus, etc. do not diffuse into the outside air.

[0015] As described above, in order to enhance the chimney effect of the through-hole portion, the heating may be discharged from each room toward the through-hole portion, or a temperature control heater may be installed. The iron door of each room preferably has a mechanism that automatically closes when opened and is not maintained in an open state, and the joint portion should be airtight. Not only iron doors, but also doors made of wood or the like that are easily airtight are within the scope of the present invention. Also, as described above, the walls of each room have a wall structure instead of a column structure, and are structured to maintain airtightness even during an earthquake. Reinforcing bars are incorporated, and concrete with a high compressive strength exceeding 36 N / mm 2 is used, preferably concrete with 80 or more, and it is preferable to reduce the moisture content and have a high cement composition.

[0016] The building with the structure of the present invention can be applied to single-family houses, apartment houses, apartments, condominiums, shared houses, or business buildings, etc.

[0017] According to the first embodiment of the present invention, each room has high airtightness, and the air flow blows through the room and goes towards the upper air outside the room, so the indoor air pressure of each room becomes negative pressure with respect to the outside air, and there is an effect that viruses and the like do not diffuse to the outside. Furthermore, since the atrium in the central part of the building is used for decompression, the rooms with their room air outlets facing parallel to the atrium do not interfere with the air flow, and there is an effect that people in other rooms cannot infect each other.

[0018] [Second Embodiment] The second embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that, as shown in FIG. 4, the entire floor has a structure in which it is sucked by an exhaust device 10 such as a duct and an exhaust fan. In this case, the atrium 11 may not be provided. Also, the heating and cooling may be by a central heating system.

[0019] In the first embodiment, the louver portion 9 at the upper part of the atrium was open to the outside air, but the louver portion may be sealed and a duct and an exhaust fan 10 may be provided.

[0020] The exhaust fan 10 may be interlocked with the pressure in the room or the atrium portion 11, and for example, the room may be made negative pressure by inverter control. A function for opening and closing the louver portion 9 at the upper part of the atrium portion 11 may be provided, and the louver portion 9 may be opened and closed in conjunction with the indoor pressure P1 or the pressure P2 of the atrium portion to make the room negative pressure. It is preferable to control so that P1 < P2 < P3.

[0021] According to the second embodiment of the present invention, even without the chimney effect due to temperature rise, the pressure of the room can be made negative pressure, and virus diffusion can be prevented.

Industrial Applicability

[0022] It is an epoch-making room or / and a building having rooms that helps to rescue the spread of the Omicron virus of the conventional novel coronavirus, and has extremely high industrial applicability in the construction industry.
