DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0051] Invention relates to a disinfection system (1) which is configured for disinfecting people from the harmful bacteria and viruses that can adhere to the surfaces such as clothes, shoes. More specifically, the present invention relates to a disinfection system (1) which allows efficient usage of the disinfectant fluid by providing maximum effect with the minimum amount of the disinfectant fluid thanks to the spraying unit (20) that can rotate around the human body; can send the particles of disinfection liquid directly to the desired points of the body thus; does not expose the person to excessive disinfectant; moreover, creates hygienic environment for the next disinfection process after each usage by absorbing microorganisms that may be hang in the environment from the previous process thanks to the HEPA filter unit (30) placed in the cabin. Mentioned system is a system that is effective not only on clothes, but also on human skin.
[0052] In the disinfection systems that are belong to the known state of the art, since the spraying units are not configured as a rotating structure, more disinfectant liquid should be used for the sprayed micro particles to be reached to the entire outer surface of the person. The spraying unit (20) which is configured as a rotating structure of the present disinfection system (1) allows the spraying process to be carried out along the 360 degree angle around the person. Thus, maximum effect is achieved with the usage of minimum disinfectant fluid, and efficient usage of disinfectant fluid is ensured.
[0053] As seen from the figures, the present innovative disinfection system (1) comprises the following components; [0054] a disinfection cabinet (10) configured in the sizes where the human body can enter easily, [0055] a spraying unit (20) which includes [0056] a rotatable profile (21) with at least one nozzle head (22) on it, [0057] a mechanical rotating unit (24) that enables mentioned rotatable profile (21) to be rotatably connected to the interior of the disinfection cabin (10) and [0058] a control box (23), [0059] at least one HEPA filter unit (30) which includes [0060] fan and motor (32) that activate after each usage of mentioned spraying unit (20) and ensure the absorption of the particles remaining in the interior of the cabin and [0061] a HEPA filter (31) that filters pathogens in the absorbed ambient air, thus creates hygienic environment for the next disinfection process, [0062] an electrical panel (40) which provides the electrical energy required for the operation of said units.
[0063] In addition, in the preferred embodiment of the invention, there is a hand disinfector (50) placed on the cabin's outer side surface (12) where the person who will enter the disinfection cabin (10) can disinfect its hands firstly. Optionally, the persons can be subjected themselves to a pre-disinfection process by placing their hands within the hand placement cavity (51) on the hand disinfector (50).
[0064] The construction of the disinfection system (1) is preferably made of stainless steel (304 quality CrNi) material and is resistant to all weather conditions. The disinfection cabin (10) preferably includes an entrance and an exit. However, in another preferred embodiment of the invention, it is also possible making a cabin configuration where the entrance and the exit are same.
[0065] In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the rotatable profile (21) is mounted on the middle of the inner ceiling (11) surface of the disinfection cabin (10) by means of mentioned mechanical rotation unit (24).
[0066] The rotatable profile (21) is preferably in the shape inverted U, inverted L etc., and there is at least one nozzle head (22) on rotatable profile's (21) surface facing the cabin environment. In the given embodiment of the invention in figures, there are 8 nozzle heads (22) on the rotatable profile (21) with a certain distance between them. Four of them are placed on one arm of the rotatable profile (21) and remaining four are correspondingly on the other arm. Spraying process is provided by these nozzle heads (22). In said embodiment, these two arms make 180 degrees angle to each other relative to the shaft axis of the mechanical rotation unit (24). In this embodiment, it is sufficient to turn half a turn the rotatable profile (21) in order to make a 360 degree application on the outer surface of the person. For a disinfection system (1) configured with a rotatable profile (21) having 4 arms that make a 90 degree angle to each other relative to the shaft axis of the mechanical rotation unit (24), a quarter turn of the rotatable profile (21) will be sufficient in order to make a 360 degree application on the outer surface of the person. For a disinfection system (1) configured with a rotatable profile (21) having inverted L shape, the rotatable profile (21) must be rotated full turn in order to make a 360 degree application on the outer surface of the person. In the other embodiment of the invention, the rotatable profile (21) can be configured in different geometries.
[0067] The person who will enter the disinfection cabin (10) optionally enters the cabin after disinfecting its hands in the hand disinfector (50) placed on the outer side surface (12) of the cabin and steps on the hygiene mat. In this way, the underside of the shoes are also disinfected. In addition, in the preferred embodiment of the invention, the disinfection system (1) is activated with the weight perceived by the weight sensor in the cabin base (13). In other embodiments of the invention, other sensors such as thermal sensors, photo sensors etc. can be used to detect the person entering into the cabin.
[0068] The spraying unit (20) activated with activation of the disinfection system (1) sends the disinfection liquid that is brought into the form of fog cloud by using pressure pump, on the person in the cabin by means of nozzle heads (22). Thus, the disinfectant fluid can directly reach to the pathogens on all over the body without creating wetness on the clothes. In this way, exposure of the person to excess disinfectant is prevented. Depending on the geometry of the rotatable profile (21), the profile rotates a quarter turn, half turn, full turn or more for providing 360 degree application to the outer surface of the person. Although not limited with this, standard disinfection time in the cabin is 5 seconds. However, this duration can be set to any value between 3 and 30 seconds.
[0069] After the disinfection process (meanly after each usage), the HEPA filter unit (30) is activated and filters the air inside by HEPA filter (31) by ensuring absorption of the microorganisms that may be hang in the environment from the previous process via high pressure fan and motor (32). Thus, a hygienic environment is created for the next disinfection process. On at least one of the inner side surface (12) of the cabin, there are filter cavities (12.1) in which the HEPA filter (31) is placed from the outside. Transmission between the cabin interior space and HEPA filter unit (30) is provided through these filter cavities (12.1).
[0070] Unlike disinfection tunnels, the disinfection cabin (10) of the present innovative disinfection system (1) is designed for disinfection of only one person. In this way, the health risks that more than one person can pose for each other are eliminated.
[0071] In order to prevent the disinfectant particles to spread around and to ensure the system to be effected minimally by outside weather conditions; at least one air curtain (70) is mounted at the entrance and exit of the cabin, in the preferred embodiments of the invention. In the embodiment where the entrance and the exit are same, it may be sufficient to use one air curtain (70).
[0072] In the other preferred embodiment of the invention, there is at least one non-contact thermometer (60) placed inside or outside of the cabin in order to measure the body temperature of person. In the case of detection high fever, an audible/light warning system can be activated.
[0073] Biocidal solutions, which does not pose a risk to human health, is intended to be used as a disinfectant liquid in the system. However, it is also possible to use different chemical optionally. In such cases, depending on the preferred disinfectant liquid, the person should be given a face mask before entering the tunnel.
[0074] Besides, “ramp systems” designed in accordance with the base (13) height of the cabin are used to eliminate the risks such as stumbling or falling at the entrance and exit of the cabin. Moreover, in the preferred embodiment of the invention, the electricity supply of the disinfection cabin (10) is 220 V or 110 V. However, in order to provide personal safety, the lightening and other electrical systems Inside the cabin are chosen as 12 V or 24 V.
