Abstract

A ventilation apparatus for forming a sterile medical area mainly includes an operation module for ventilating the air. The apparatus for ensuring the air cleanliness includes a filtering unit for filtering dusts and particles in the air and a sterilizing unit for eliminating micro organisms. The clean and sterilized air is sent into the medical area via an air outlet to form a quasi-laminar air flow pattern. By application of the ventilation apparatus, the cleanliness of the medical area can be ensured.

Claims

1. A ventilation apparatus for forming a sterile medical area, comprising:

an operation module, further comprising;

a driving unit for sucking air from the sterile medical area via an air inlet and for forwarding the air; and

a sterilizing unit for eliminating micro organisms in the air; and

a transmission module, connected with the operation module perpendicularly, receiving the air sent from the operation module and then forwarding the air to the sterile medical area via the air outlet, further comprising;

a filtering unit for filtering the air forwarded by the operation module; and

an air outlet for evenly distributing the air to the sterile medical area;

wherein the air in the sterile medical area is sucked into the operation module via the air inlet so as to form a close loop ventilation of the air.

2. The ventilation apparatus for forming a sterile medical area according to claim 1, wherein said driving unit is a fan device.

3. The ventilation apparatus for forming a sterile medical area according to claim 1, wherein said filtering unit is a high efficiency particulate air filter.

4. The ventilation apparatus for forming a sterile medical area according to claim 1, wherein said sterilizing unit is one selected from a group of ultraviolet ray tubes and photo catalysis elements.

5. The ventilation apparatus for forming a sterile medical area according to claim 1, wherein said transmission module is mounted to a ceiling of said sterile medical area and a flow pattern of said air is one selected from a group of a vertical pattern and a horizontal pattern.

6. The ventilation apparatus for forming a sterile medical area according to claim 1, wherein said transmission module is mounted close to a wall of said sterile medical area so as to have said air leaving said air outlet flow in a direction away from the wall.

7. The ventilation apparatus for forming a sterile medical area according to claim 1, wherein said air outlet further includes a diffusion structure for uniformly distributing said air.
