Background
In the initial stage of outbreak of high infectious diseases, the original material purchasing channel of an infectious disease hospital is blocked or even has short-term interruption due to epidemic situations, and protective articles in the hospital are likely to be greatly in short supply due to the proliferation of patients and the comprehensive upgrade of the protection level. If a set of operable sterilization system is provided, the infectious bacteria can be inactivated quickly and efficiently on the premise of not damaging the protection function of the protective articles, and other toxic and harmful substances are not generated in the whole treatment process, so that the protective articles can be effectively recycled, and the shortage of protective articles is relieved.
In fact, various conventional disinfection and regeneration technologies capable of reaching the medical grade are widely applied, such as dry heat sterilization, high-pressure steam sterilization, ethylene oxide sterilization, ultraviolet sterilization, ozone sterilization, microwave sterilization and the like, and are used for treating uniform, medical tools and instruments. The sterilization method of the reusable instruments commonly used in hospitals comprises high-temperature high-pressure sterilization, dry heat sterilization, ethylene oxide sterilization and the like. The most widely used high-temperature high-pressure sterilization and dry heat sterilization can cause serious damage to the filtering material when the medical protective product is treated, for example, a mask is taken as an example, the high temperature can cause the deformation of the mask, and high-pressure water vapor can cause the aggregation of mask fibers and the loss of static electricity; ethylene oxide is a flammable and explosive hypertoxic drug, and long shelf time is needed for resolving ethylene oxide residues; the ozone, ultraviolet and microwave disinfection modes have poor penetrability and are only suitable for surface disinfection; therefore, the conventional technologies are not suitable for being used in regeneration of medical protective articles under emergency situations. Relevant patents are selected through similar research, and the following are found: the disinfection cabinet for protective clothing of CN203970961 uses uv and ozone for disinfection, and as mentioned above, it has poor penetrability and is difficult to completely inactivate bacteria and viruses; the disinfection cabin of the protective clothing described in CN03265604 adopts disinfectant to disinfect the protective clothing, but the aqueous solution can seriously damage the fiber structure of the melt-blown cloth; CN 209450975 describes a disinfection cabinet which can be used for towel disinfection, the high temperature and oxygen environment used may damage the fibers of the meltblown fabric, and indeed the penetration is poor by hot air alone; CN 209790429 describes only an article storage cabinet with air circulation, and does not describe a disinfection measure. Therefore, the prior art can not meet the requirements of rapid, safe and thorough sterilization of medical protective articles.

And opening the extraction valve 7, starting the vacuum pump 22 to extract air, discharging the air by the vacuum pump 22 through the vacuum filter 21, and pumping the bacteria and virus inactivation cabin and the air circulation pipeline to a vacuum state. After the air extraction is completed, the air extraction valve 7 and the vacuum pump 22 are closed, the inert gas inlet valve 5 is opened, and inert gas is introduced, wherein the inert gas can be nitrogen or argon. The air is extracted to protect the protective article material from oxidation during heating, and the inert gas is replaced to provide heat transfer gas for subsequent sterilization. When the air pressure in the bacteria and virus inactivation cabin reaches 0.2Mpa, the inert gas inlet valve 5 is closed to stop charging. The use of high gas pressure can enhance the gas penetration, so that the gas not only treats the surface of the protective article, but also can deeply treat the inside of the protective material.

After the multiple gas heating circulation disinfection treatment is completed, the gas heater 12 is closed, the circulating fan 8 continues to work, the cooler 9 continuously cools the gas flowing in the cooler, when the internal temperature is reduced to a safe temperature (such as 40 ℃), the cooler 9 stops working, the inert gas vent valve 6 is opened to discharge high-pressure gas, when the internal pressure reaches 0.1Mpa and is close to the atmospheric pressure, the cover lock 2 is opened, the counter weight 15 is pulled to open the cabin cover 3 of the bacteria and virus inactivation cabin, the treated protective articles such as a mask or protective clothing are taken out, and the heat circulation inert gas disinfection process is completed.
