Description

Klimakammer climatic chamber
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kammer oder Aufenthaltseinheit für Personen mit einer Steuer- bzw. Regeleinrichtung und einem Rechner, welche in der Kammer von ihrer Umgebung unterschiedliche Klima- bzw. UmgebungsVerhältnisse steuert bzw. regelt.The invention relates to a chamber or lounge unit for people with a control or regulating device and a computer which controls or regulates different climatic or environmental conditions in the chamber from its surroundings.
Es ist eine Vielzahl von Klimakammern oder Vorrichtungen zur Erzeugung unterschiedlicher Klima- bzw. Umgebungsbedingungen bekannt, welche im Wesentlichen aus einer Kammer oder abgeschlossenen Einheit bestehen, wobei mittels Steuer- bzw. Regeleinrichtungen die Atmosphäre in der Kammer bzw. Einheit gesteuert bzw. geregelt wird. Aus der DE 44 20 908 AI ist eine Behandlungsund Aufenthaltseinheit für Personen bekannt, wobei Klimafaktoren im Inneren der Einheit mittels einer Steuervorrichtung gesteuert werden können. Unter Klimafaktoren werden dabei nicht nur bestimmte Lufttemperaturen oder Luftfeuchtigkeiten verstanden, sondern auch andere chemisch physikalische Parameter, wie beispielsweise Stoffe, Substanzen oder aber auch elektromagnetische Strahlung, die auf eine im Inneren der Einheit befindliche Person einwirken. Eine Überwachung der einzelnen Werte bezüglich bestimmter Klimafaktoren im Inneren der Einheit wird mittels in diese Einheit hineinreichender Messfühler erreicht, welche die einzelnen Werte erfassen und diese Werte an die Steuervorrichtung weitergeben, wo sie entsprechend berechnet und mit den eingestellten Sollwerten verglichen werden. Eine automatische zeitliche Veränderung von einzelnen Klimafaktoren während eines BehandlungsZeitraumes, in dem sich eine Person im Inneren der Einheit aufhält, ist ferner über die Auswahl eines entsprechenden Betriebsprogrammes möglich. Dieses Betriebsprogramm ist in einem Rechner gespeichert, wobei neben diesen auch verschiedene Programmabläufe für das Gesamtklima oder für einzelne Klimafaktoren innerhalb der Einheit neu eingegeben oder verändert werden können.A large number of climatic chambers or devices for producing different climatic or ambient conditions are known, which essentially consist of one chamber or closed unit, the atmosphere in the chamber or unit being controlled or regulated by means of control devices. From DE 44 20 908 AI a treatment and relaxation unit for people is known, wherein climate factors inside the unit can be controlled by means of a control device. Climate factors are not only understood to mean certain air temperatures or air humidities, but also other chemical-physical parameters, such as substances, substances or even electromagnetic radiation, which affect a person inside the unit. Monitoring of the individual values with regard to certain climatic factors in the interior of the unit is achieved by means of sensors extending into this unit, which record the individual values and pass these values on to the control device, where they are calculated accordingly and compared with the setpoint values. An automatic time change of individual climate factors during a treatment period in which a person is inside the unit is also possible by selecting an appropriate operating program. This operating program is stored in a computer, in addition to which various program sequences for the overall climate or for individual climate factors within the unit can be newly entered or changed.
In der WO 97/09024 ist eine Vorrichtung und Verfahren zur Erstellung umweltnaher Verhältnisse beschrieben, wobei die Vorrichtung eine abgeschlossene luftdichte Kammer umfasst, in welche Sauerstoff, Kohlendioxid, Wasser oder andere Stoffe eingeleitet werden können. Weiters umfasst die Vorrichtung Kontrolleinrichtungen, welche die Atmosphäre, wie beispielsweise die Sauer- stoffkonzentration, den Druck, die Temperatur und Feuchtigkeit im Inneren der Kammer kontrollieren können. Weiters kann im Inneren der Kammer auch ein magnetisches Feld erzeugt werden, dessen Stärke und Orientierung ebenfalls über eine Kontrolleinrichtung steuerbar ist.WO 97/09024 describes a device and method for creating environmental conditions, the device comprising an enclosed airtight chamber into which oxygen, carbon dioxide, water or other substances can be introduced. Furthermore, the device comprises control devices which measure the atmosphere, such as, for example, the oxygen concentration, the pressure, the temperature and humidity Control inside the chamber. Furthermore, a magnetic field can also be generated inside the chamber, the strength and orientation of which can also be controlled by a control device.
Diese genannten und weitere im Stand der Technik bekannte Kli avorrichtύngen bzw. Klimakammern oder -Einheiten zeigen zwar eine an sich problemlose Steuerung bzw. Regelung der in der Kammer oder Einheit zu erzeugenden oder befindlichen Klimafaktoren oder Atmosphärenverhältnisse, diese sind allerdings nur bedingt auf die individuellen Bedürfnisse der sich in der Kammer aufhaltenden Person anpassbar. Eine Überwachung bzw. Anpassung ist nur über Messeinrichtungen in der Kammer möglich, welche jedoch nicht in direktem Kontakt zu der Person stehen. Ein weiterer Nachteil der bekannten Klimavorrichtungen besteht darin, dass der Körper oder die Person in der Kammer selbst keinen Einfluss auf die Steuerung bzw. Regelung der Klimafaktoren nehmen kann, da eine solche Steuerung bzw. Regelung nur außerhalb der Kammer mittels Rechner oder anderer Kontrollmitteln möglich ist.Although these and other climate devices or climatic chambers or units known in the prior art show an inherently problem-free control or regulation of the climatic factors or atmospheric conditions to be generated or located in the chamber or unit, these are, however, only conditional on the individual needs adaptable to the person in the chamber. Monitoring or adjustment is only possible via measuring devices in the chamber, which, however, are not in direct contact with the person. A further disadvantage of the known climate control devices is that the body or the person in the chamber itself cannot influence the control or regulation of the climate factors, since such control or regulation is only possible outside the chamber by means of computers or other control means ,
Es ist nun Ziel der Erfindung, hier Abhilfe zu schaffen und eine Kammer bzw. Aufenthaltseinheit der eingangs angeführten Art vorzusehen, weiche eine Anpassung bzw.

Regeleinrichtung bzw. dem Rechner verbundene Biosensoren zur Erfassung von Körperparametern, wie beispielsweise Körpertemperatur, Puls, Hautwiderstand, Blutdruck u.dgl. eines in der Kammer befindlichen Körpers vorgesehen sind.The device according to the invention of the type mentioned at the outset is characterized in that biosensors connected to the control or regulating device or the computer for detecting body parameters, such as body temperature, pulse, skin resistance, blood pressure and the like. of a body located in the chamber are provided.
Gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung wird somit eine Interaktion zwischen den körpereigenen Parametern der sich in der Kammer befindlichen Person (en) , und den die Person (en) umgebenden und auf sie einwirkenden Klima- bzw.

Dazu dienen die Biosensoren, unter welchen im Wesentlichen dem Stand der Technik bekannte Messeinrichtungen verstanden werden, wie beispielsweise Thermometer, Puls- und Blutdruckm.ess- sonden, Geräte zur Messung elektrischer Widerstände, wie Hautwiderstand, Oberflächenelektroden oder andere Messgeräte zur Aufnahme von Körpersignalen, wie EKG, EEG oder dergl . Diese Signale bzw. Körperparameter werden zur Steuer- bzw. Regeleinrich- tung mit dem Rechner geleitet, wo in Abhängigkeit der Körperparameter die Einstellungen der Klima- bzw. Umgebungsfaktoren in der Kammer geändert werden können. Eine Veränderung von einzelnen oder mehreren Klima- bzw. Umgebungsfaktoren (worunter im Wesentlichen die UmgebungsVerhältnisse bzw. Atmosphärenbedingungen im Inneren der Kammer verstanden werden sollen) kann mittels des Rechners, beispielsweise eines digitalen Computers", der Steuerbzw. Regeleinrichtung erfolgen. Über diesen Rechner können verschiedene Betriebsprogramme aufgerufen werden, welche verschiedene Abläufe für ein in der Kammer erzeugendes Gesamtklima, wie beispielsweise Druckabsenkung oder Senkung der Luftfeuchtigkeit und Erhöhung der Umgebungstemperatur entsprechend einem "Wüsten- - klima", Beschallung, Beleuchtung etc. eingestellt werden. Die Steuer- bzw. Regeleinrichtung kann derartige Veränderungen einzelner Klimafakt'oren oder gesamte Abläufe in der Klimakammer umsetzen. Die Steuer- bzw. Regeleinrichtung ist mit im Stand der Technik bekannten Vorrichtungen ausgestattet, welche z.B. gasförmige und/oder flüssige Medien zur Verfügung stellen, aufbereiten oder mischen können, so dass sie der Kammer in kontrollierbarer Form zugeführt werden können. Derartige Vorrichtungen sind beispielsweise Druckbehälter, Mischkammern, Pumpen, Kompressoren, Filtereinrichtungen, Wärmetauscher, Befeuchter, Behälter für flüssige bzw. gasförmige Medien, Zu- bzw. Ableitungen und dafür vorgesehene Durchflussregler wie Ventile, Messeinrichtungen wie Temperatursensoren, Drucksensoren, Inhaltsstoffmesser, Ionisationsmesser und dergl. in derartigen Vorrichtungen können einfache und komplexe Vorgänge erzeugt werden, die notwendig sind, um flüssige und/oder gasförmige Medie in eine der Kammer zuzuführende Form zu bringen. Weiters kann die Steuer- bzw. Regeleinrichtung mit Beleuchtungskörpern, Schallquellen, BeduftungsVorrichtungen und dergleichen ausgestattet sein. Die Beleuchtungskörper können dabei verschiedene Farben oder Farbmuster vorsehen, gewünschtenfalls gekoppelt mit einer geeigneten passenden Beschallung und/oder Beduftung.According to the present invention, an interaction between the body's own parameters of the person (s) in the chamber and the climatic or environmental factors surrounding and acting on the person (s) is made available. The biosensors are used for this purpose, which are essentially understood as measuring devices known from the prior art, such as thermometers, pulse and blood pressure measuring probes, devices for measuring electrical resistances, such as skin resistance, surface electrodes or other measuring devices for recording body signals, such as EKG, EEG or the like. These signals or body parameters are used to control or regulate tion directed to the computer, where the settings of the climate or environmental factors in the chamber can be changed depending on the body parameters. (To be among which mainly the ambient conditions or atmospheric conditions inside the chamber understood) a change of single or multiple air-conditioning or environmental factors can be performed by means of the computer, for example a digital computer, "the Steuerbzw. Control device. With this computer, various Operating programs are called up, which different processes for an overall climate generating in the chamber, such as lowering pressure or lowering the humidity and increasing the ambient temperature according to a "desert - climate", sound, lighting, etc. can be set such changes in individual air-FACTORS 'or implement all processes in the climate chamber. the control means is provided with well-known in the prior art devices which provide, for example, gaseous and / or liquid media disposal, recycle od he can mix so that they can be supplied to the chamber in a controllable form. Such devices are, for example, pressure vessels, mixing chambers, pumps, compressors, filter devices, heat exchangers, humidifiers, containers for liquid or gaseous media, supply and discharge lines and flow controllers provided for this purpose, such as valves, measuring devices such as temperature sensors, pressure sensors, ingredient meters, ionization meters and the like. In such devices, simple and complex processes can be generated which are necessary to bring liquid and / or gaseous media into a form to be supplied to the chamber. Furthermore, the control device can be equipped with lighting fixtures, sound sources, scenting devices and the like.

So ist es nun vorstellbar, dass derartige Vorgänge im einfachsten Fall wie folgt aussehen können: Flüssige Medien, wie beispielsweise destilliertes Wasser, werden aus einem Versorgungsbehältnis in dosierter Menge zu einer Mischkammer geführt, um dort mit z.B. Gasen, wie Sauerstoff, Stickstoff, Edelgase oder Gasgemischen, Duftstoffen, Essenzen oder etwa Salzen versetzt zu werden. Dabei können gegebenenfalls auch die gasförmigen Medien, beispielsweise druckgeregelt oder mit anderen Gasen vermengt werden oder dergl . , und anschließend zugeführt werden. Das derart erhaltene Flüssigkeitsgasgemisch kann dann entweder sofort oder während einer Weiterleitung erwärmt, gekühlt, ionisiert oder anderweitig weiterbehandelt werden, um letztendlich in kontrollierter Form der Kammer zugeführt zu werden und entsprechende Klima- bzw. Umgebungsfaktoren zu erzeugen bzw. zu ändern. Derartige Vorgänge der Steuer- und Regeleinrichtung können rechnergesteuert einzeln, gereiht, nebeneinander, hintereinander, unabhängig oder abhängig voneinander ablaufen. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, einzelne Klima- bzw. Umgebungsfaktoren derart in Relation zueinander zu bringen, dass verschiedene Verhältnisse hergestellt werden können, wie beispielsweise Meeresklima, Höhenklima oder dergl. und zusätzlich mit unterschiedlichen Licht-, Wetter und Geräuschbedingungen wie Sonnenschein, Nebel, Schnee-, fall, Regen, Sturm etc. in der Kammer nachzustellen. Zudem werden über die direkte Verbindung der Person, welche den genannten Klimaverhältnissen und Wetter- bzw. Umgebungsbedingungen in der Kammer ausgesetzt ist, über die Biosensoren Änderungen oder Abweichungen der körpereigenen Parameter erfasst und sofort an den Rechner weitergeleitet. Im Rechner werden die durch die Abläufe definierter Klima- bzw. Umgebungsverhältnisse oder Wetterbedingungen hervorgerufenen Werte der körpereigenen Parameter mit vorgegebenen Werten verglichen und in Abhängigkeit von registrierten Abweichungen reagiert die Steuer- bzw. Regeleinrichtung um in der Kammer beispielsweise geminderte oder verstärkte Klimabzw. Umgebungsfaktoren vorzusehen.It is now conceivable that such processes can look like this in the simplest case: Liquid media, such as distilled water, are fed from a supply container in a metered amount to a mixing chamber in order to be able to use them, for example, gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, noble gases or Gas mixtures, fragrances, essences or salts, for example, are added become. If necessary, the gaseous media, for example pressure-controlled or mixed with other gases, or the like, can also be used. , and then fed. The liquid gas mixture obtained in this way can then either be heated, cooled, ionized or otherwise treated either immediately or during forwarding, in order to ultimately be supplied to the chamber in a controlled form and to generate or change corresponding climatic and environmental factors. Such processes of the control and regulating device can run computer-controlled individually, in a row, side by side, one behind the other, independently or depending on one another. In this way it is possible to relate individual climate or environmental factors to one another in such a way that different conditions can be established, such as, for example, sea climate, altitude climate or the like, and additionally with different light, weather and noise conditions such as sunshine, fog, Adjust snow, fall, rain, storm etc. in the chamber. In addition, changes or deviations in the body's own parameters are recorded via the direct connection of the person who is exposed to the above-mentioned climatic and weather or ambient conditions in the chamber, and are immediately forwarded to the computer. In the computer, the values of the body's parameters caused by the processes of defined climatic or environmental conditions or weather conditions are compared with predefined values and, depending on registered deviations, the control or regulating device reacts in the chamber, for example, to reduce or increase the climate or To provide environmental factors.
Die Kammer bzw. Aufenthaltseinheit selbst kann eine im Stand der Technik bekannte bzw. herkömmliche Klimakammer darstellen, welche die durch die Steuer- bzw. Regeleinrichtung erzeugten bzw. überwachten und kontrollierten genannten Vorgänge der gasförmigen bzw. flüssigen Medien, Schallquellen, Beleuchtungskörper und dgl . aufnehmen kann. Demgemäß ist die Kammer bzw. Aufenthaltseinheit mit entsprechenden Vorrichtungen ausgestattet, wie Messeinheiten, Zu- und Abflussleitungen, Düsen, die beispielsweise zur Besprühung, Bedampfung oder etwa Beduftung eingesetzt werden können, Beleuchtungskörpern, Schallquellen, wie Lautsprechern, Gebläse oder ähnliches. Vorteilhafterweise weist die erfindungsgemäße Kammer bzw. Aufenthaltseinheit einen abgetrennten Kontrollraum auf, welcher mit KontrollVorrichtungen zur zusätzlichen Überwachung der Klimafaktoren bzw. Klima- und UmgebungsVerhältnisse in der Kammer ausgestattet ist. Dabei können beispielsweise Thermometer, Barometer, Hygrometer, Manometer, Konzentrationsmesser oder dergl. sowie Kontrollvorrichtungen für die Beleuchtung und die Beschallung vorgesehen sein. Zusätzlich ist es günstig, wenn der Kontrollraum eine Sicherheitssteuerung bzw. -regelvorrichtung aufweist, welche in einem Notfall oder bei auftretenden Störungen eine Unterbrechung oder aber auch eine Beeinflussung der Vorgänge der Steuer- bzw. Regeleinrichtung bewirken kann, so dass ungewollte oder etwa gar für die in der Kammer befindlichen Person gefährliche Klimafaktoren bzw. Klima- oder Umgebungsverhältnisse vermieden werden können.The chamber or accommodation unit itself can be a conventional climate chamber which is known in the prior art and which controls the processes of the gaseous or liquid media, sound sources, lighting fixtures and the like which are generated or monitored and controlled by the control or regulating device. can record. Accordingly, the chamber or accommodation unit is equipped with appropriate devices, such as measuring units, inlet and outlet lines, nozzles that can be used, for example, for spraying, vapor deposition or scenting, lighting fixtures, sound sources such as loudspeakers, blowers or the like. The chamber or lounge unit according to the invention advantageously has a separate control room which is equipped with control devices for additional monitoring of the climatic factors or climatic and environmental conditions in the chamber. Thereby, for example, thermometers, barometers, hygrometers, manometers, concentration meters or the like, as well as control devices for the lighting and the sound system can be provided.

Zudem ist es günstig, wenn die Steuer- bzw. Regeleinrichtung den Druck bzw. die Durchflussmenge der gasförmigen und/oder flüssigen Medien steuert bzw. regelt. Bei einer solchen Ausführungsform können in der Kammer besondere Klimafaktoren, wie beispielsweise Unterdruck oder Überdruck, eingestellt werden. Wenn nun eine Person diesen Verhältnissen in der Kammer ausgesetzt ist, so werden im Körper der Person Reaktionen bzw. Änderungen der körpereigenen Parameter hervorgerufen, welche von den Biosensoren erfasst und an den Rechner der Steuer- bzw. Regelein- richtung weitergeleitet werden. Dort werden die Werte mit den vorgegebenen Sollwerten verglichen. Falls eine Anpassung, d.h. Erhöhung oder Verringerung, des Unterdruckes in der Kammer notwendig ist, so wird diese zu den in der Steuer- bzw. Regeleinrichtung vorgesehenen Vorrichtungen weitergegeben und entsprechend umgesetzt, so dass der Unterdruck in der Kammer angeglichen wird.In addition, it is advantageous if the control device regulates the pressure or the flow rate of the gaseous and / or controls or regulates liquid media. In such an embodiment, special climatic factors, such as for example negative pressure or positive pressure, can be set in the chamber. If a person is now exposed to these conditions in the chamber, reactions or changes in the body's own parameters are produced in the body of the person, which are recorded by the biosensors and forwarded to the computer of the control or regulating device. There the values are compared with the specified target values. If an adjustment, ie increase or decrease, of the vacuum in the chamber is necessary, this is passed on to the devices provided in the control or regulating device and implemented accordingly, so that the vacuum in the chamber is adjusted.

Gemäß Fig. 1 weist die erfindungsgemäße Kammer im vorderen Abschnitt bzw. Eingangsbereich der Kammer drei voneinander getrennte Bereiche auf. Die beiden äußeren bzw. am Rand gelegenen Bereiche 10 stellen Kontrollräume dar, welche mit Messvorrichtungen wie Thermometer, Barometer, Hygrometer, Manometer oder dergl. (nicht gezeigt) zur Überwachung der Klimafaktoren bzw. Klimaverhältnisse in der Kammer ausgestattet sind. Zudem ist in den Kontrollräumen weiters eine Sicherheitssteuerung bzw. Sicherheitsregelvorrichtung vorgesehen (ebenfalls nicht gezeigt) , welche bei Notfällen oder Funktionsstörungen der erfindungsgemäßen Kammer eingesetzt werden können. Zwischen den beiden Kontrollräumen ist ein Schleusenraum 11 gezeigt, welcher zur "Akklimatisation" bzw. Anpassung eines Körpers einer Person an die Klimaverhältnisse in der Kammer oder aber auch an die außerhalb der Kammer bestehenden Verhältnisse dient. Im Anschluss an den Eingangsbereich ist gemäß Fig. 1 der Zentralbereich der Kammer gezeigt, wobei dieser hier in zwei weitere Bereiche, einen linken 13 und einen rechten Bereich 12, unterteilt ist. In beiden Zentralbereichen sind eine Liege 8 bzw. zwei Sportgeräte 9 schematisch, dargestellt . Eine Trennwand, durch welche Technikschächte 1 verlaufen, teilen den Zentralbereich der Kammer in den linken und rechten Bereich gemäß Fig. 1.1, the chamber according to the invention has three separate areas in the front section or entrance area of the chamber. The two outer or peripheral areas 10 represent control rooms which are equipped with measuring devices such as thermometers, barometers, hygrometers, pressure gauges or the like (not shown) for monitoring the climatic factors or climatic conditions in the chamber. In addition, a safety controller or safety control device is also provided in the control rooms (likewise not shown), which can be used in the event of emergencies or malfunctions in the chamber according to the invention. Between the two control rooms, a lock room 11 is shown, which serves for "acclimatization" or adaptation of a person's body to the climatic conditions in the chamber or else to the conditions existing outside the chamber. In connection 1, the central area of the chamber is shown at the entrance area, here being divided into two further areas, a left area 13 and a right area 12. In both central areas, a couch 8 or two sports devices 9 are shown schematically. A partition wall, through which technical shafts 1 run, divide the central area of the chamber into the left and right areas according to FIG. 1.
Ein weiterer wesentlicher Bestandteil der erfindungsgemäßen Anlage gemäß Fig. 1 ist die Doppelwand, welche die Kammer, insbesondere den Zentralbereich der Kammer, umgibt. Die Außenwand 5 der Doppelwand besteht aus einem Isoliermaterial, so dass die in der Kammer herrschenden Klimafaktoren bzw. Klimaverhältnisse beibehalten werden können. Die innere Wand 6 der Kammer, insbesondere des Zentralbereiches der Kammer, ist ebenfalls mit Schächten 1 ausgestattet, welche beispielsweise als Zu- und/oder Abführleitungen für Druck- bzw. Sauggebläse 2 dienen können, wobei steuerbare Verbindungen zum Zentralbereich der Kammer vorgesehen sind. Weiters weist die innere Wand Beleuchtungskörper 3 zur Beleuchtung des inneren Zentralbereiches auf. Die Beleuchtungskörper können dabei mit verschiedenen Farbfilter, Vorrichtungen zur Erzeugung von Farbmustern und dergleichen ausgestattet sein. Auch können die Beleuchtungskörper über die Steuer- bzw. Regeleinrichtung sowie die Rückmeldung der Biosensoren hinsichtlich Helligkeit, Farbintensität bzw. Wellenlänge des ausgesandten Lichts sowie Auswahl und Bewegung der Farbmuster beeinflusst werden. Ähnlich kann die innere Wand auch Schallquellen 4 zur Beschallung des inneren Zentralbereiches aufweisen, wobei auch hier die Schallquellen über die Steuer- bzw. Regeleinrichtung sowie die Rückmeldung der Biosensoren hinsichtlich Tonhöhe, Melodie und Lautstärke der Beschallung beeinflusst werden können. Sowohl der Einfluss von Licht, insbesondere farbigen Licht, als auch von Tönen ruft bei dem in der Kammer befindlichen Körper •messbare Reaktionen hervor, wie beispielsweise eine Veränderung des HautwiderStandes . Über die Biosensoren kann diese Veränderung registriert und so eine optimale Umgebung für den in der Kammer befindlichen Körper geschaffen werden. Wenn hier von Kammer, Klimakammer oder Aufenthaltseinheit die Rede ist, so sind darunter erfindungsgemäß auch entsprechend ausgestattete Räume in z.B. Hotels und Wellness- bzw. Fitnessanlagen zu verstehen, welche sowohl für den zeitweisen als auch für den dauernden Aufenthalt von Personen geeignet sind. Derartige Räume können z.B. auch nach Art eines Schwimmbeckens zumindest teilweise mit Wasser gefüllt sein, wobei das Wasser hinsichtlich Zusammensetzung (z.B. Beimengung von Gasen, wie 02, N oder C02, Aromen oder Salzen) und/oder Temperatur über die Steuer- bzw. Regeleinrichtung sowie die Rückmeldung der Biosensoren beeinflusst werden kann.Another essential component of the system according to the invention according to FIG. 1 is the double wall which surrounds the chamber, in particular the central region of the chamber. The outer wall 5 of the double wall consists of an insulating material, so that the climatic factors or climatic conditions prevailing in the chamber can be maintained. The inner wall 6 of the chamber, in particular the central region of the chamber, is also equipped with shafts 1, which can serve, for example, as supply and / or discharge lines for pressure or suction blowers 2, controllable connections to the central region of the chamber being provided. Furthermore, the inner wall has lighting fixtures 3 for illuminating the inner central area.

The lighting fixtures can also be influenced via the control or regulating device and the feedback from the biosensors with regard to brightness, color intensity or wavelength of the emitted light, and selection and movement of the color patterns. Similarly, the inner wall can also have sound sources 4 for sound reinforcement of the inner central area, wherein here too the sound sources can be influenced via the control or regulating device and the feedback from the biosensors with regard to the pitch, melody and volume of the sound reinforcement. Both the influence of light, in particular colored light, and tones cause measurable reactions in the body in the chamber, such as a change in the skin's resistance. This change can be registered via the biosensors, thus creating an optimal environment for the body in the chamber. If the term chamber, climatic chamber or lounge unit is used here, according to the invention this also includes appropriately equipped rooms in, for example, hotels and wellness or fitness facilities, which are suitable for both temporary and permanent stays are suitable for people. Such rooms can, for example, also be at least partially filled in the manner of a swimming pool with water, the water in terms of composition (for example admixture of gases such as 0 2 , N or CO 2 , aromas or salts) and / or temperature via the control or Control device and feedback from the biosensors can be influenced.
Die innere Wand 6 zeigt zudem noch weitere Schächte 1, welche Vorrichtungen der Steuer- bzw. Regeleinrichtung zeigen (nicht gezeigt), wie z.B. Düsen, Zu- und Abflussleitungen, Leitungen zu Beleuchtungskörper und Schallquellen und dergl.The inner wall 6 also shows further shafts 1, which show devices of the control device (not shown), such as e.g. Nozzles, inlet and outlet lines, lines to lighting fixtures and sound sources and the like.

Die äußere Wand 5 der die Kammer umgebenden Doppelwand besteht aus einem Isoliermaterial und zudem aus einem beispielsweise zur Umströmung bzw. Umgasung dienenden Schacht. Die innere Wand 6 der Doppelwand ist wieder mit Schächten 1 ausgestattet, welche Vorrichtungen der Steuer- und Regeleinrichtung zur Einstellung einzelner Klimafaktoren bzw. komplexerer Klima- und Umgebungsverhältnissen in der Kammer aufweisen. Weiters sind Sensoren, Messeinheiten, Düsen, Abfluss und Zuleitungen sowie Versorgungsleitungen für Licht- und Schallquellen und dergl. in der inneren Wand der Doppelwand vorgesehen. Sämtliche genannte Einrichtungen in der Doppelwand stehen mit der Steuer- und Regeleinrichtung in Verbindung. Wie in Fig. 1 können die Schächte 1 auch als Zu- und/oder Abführleitungen für Druck- bzw. Sauggebläse 2 dienen. Auch sind in bzw. auf der Doppelwand Lichtquellen 3 sowie Schallquellen 4 vorhanden.2 shows a cross section of the chamber according to the invention, in particular the central region of the chamber. As in FIG. 1, the central area is also equipped here with a partition with shafts 1 for receiving devices for the control and regulating devices, with additional mobile plug connections 7 being shown for connecting the biosensors. The outer wall 5 of the double wall surrounding the chamber consists of an insulating material and, moreover, of a shaft, for example for the flow around or the gas flow. The inner wall 6 of the double wall is again equipped with shafts 1, which have devices of the control and regulating device for setting individual climate factors or more complex climatic and environmental conditions in the chamber. Furthermore, sensors, measuring units, nozzles, drain and supply lines as well as supply lines for light and sound sources and the like are provided in the inner wall of the double wall. All of the devices mentioned in the double wall are connected to the control and regulating device. As in FIG. 1, the shafts 1 can also serve as supply and / or discharge lines for pressure or suction fans 2. Light sources 3 and sound sources 4 are also present in or on the double wall.
Befindet sich nun eine Person im Zentralbereich der Kammer und die erfindungsgemäße Kammer kommt zur Anwendung, so muss im Rechner der Steuer- bzw. Regeleinrichtung ein Ablauf zur Erstellung und Überwachung beispielsweise eines Unterdruckes gespeichert und aufgerufen werden. Gemäß der in einem solchen Ablauf gegebenen Sollwerte werden die zur Umsetzung des Ablaufes vorgesehenen Vorrichtungen der Steuer- bzw. Regeleinrichtung angesprochen, um so in der Kammer den Unterdruck zu erzeugen. Die in der Kammer befindliche Person ist nun diesem gesteuerten und re- gulierten Unterdruck ausgesetzt. Biosensoren, wie ein Messgerät, beispielsweise ein Pulsoximeter zur Messung der Sauerstoffsättigung im Blut, sind an dem Körper der Person in der Kammer angelegt bzw. stehen sie im direkten Kontakt zum Körper der Person und erfassen kontinuierlich die SauerstoffSättigung im Blut. Diese aufgenommenen Werte werden an den Rechner der Steuer- bzw. Regeleinrichtung weitergeleitet, welcher die eingehenden Werte verarbeitet und mit den Sollwerten des im Rechner gespeicherten Ablaufes vergleicht. Wird nun im Körper der dem Unterdruck ausgesetzten Person eine unerwünschte bzw. über das erwünschte Maß hinausgehende Reaktion hervorgerufen, so kann eine sofortige Änderung bzw. Anpassung einzelner Faktoren, in diesem Fall z.B. des Sauerstoffpartialdrucks, mittels der Steuer- bzw. Regeleinrichtung vorgenommen werden.If a person is now in the central area of the chamber and the chamber according to the invention is used, a sequence for creating and monitoring, for example, a negative pressure must be stored and called up in the computer of the control or regulating device. In accordance with the setpoints given in such a sequence, the devices of the control device that are provided for implementing the sequence are addressed in order to generate the negative pressure in the chamber. The person in the chamber is now this controlled and re- exposed to negative pressure. Biosensors, such as a measuring device, for example a pulse oximeter for measuring the oxygen saturation in the blood, are applied to the body of the person in the chamber or they are in direct contact with the body of the person and continuously record the oxygen saturation in the blood. These recorded values are forwarded to the computer of the control or regulating device, which processes the incoming values and compares them with the target values of the sequence stored in the computer. If an undesired reaction or reaction that goes beyond the desired level is now caused in the body of the person exposed to the negative pressure, an immediate change or adaptation of individual factors, in this case, for example, the oxygen partial pressure, can be carried out by means of the control device.
Auf diese Weise kann die Person in der Kammer verschiedene Tätigkeiten, z.B. Sport, ausüben, wobei die angelegten Biosensoren bestimmte Körperparameter überwachen und bei Überschreiten vorgegebener Werte die einzelnen Klimafaktoren bzw. Klima- oder Umgebungsverhältnisse automatisch verändert werden. Überdies ist es durch die erfindungsgemäße Kammer mit der Steuer- und Regeleinrichtung unter anderem auch möglich, diverse Klimaverhältnisse, wie beispielsweise Meeresklima, Höhenklima und zusätzlich verschiedene Wetter- und Umgebungsbedingungen wie Schneefall, Nebel, Lichtverhältnisse, Geräuschkulissen etc., einzustellen und in Abhängigkeit abgenommener Körperparameter zu verändern, wodurch der Körper der ausgesetzten Person effektiv und optimal an verschiedenste vorgegebene Klima- bzw. Umgebungsbedingungen an- gepasst werden kann. In this way the person in the chamber can perform various activities, e.g. Exercise, whereby the applied biosensors monitor certain body parameters and the individual climatic factors or climatic or environmental conditions are automatically changed when predetermined values are exceeded. In addition, the chamber according to the invention with the control and regulating device also makes it possible, among other things, to set various climatic conditions, such as, for example, sea climate, high altitude climate and, in addition, various weather and ambient conditions such as snowfall, fog, light conditions, background noise, etc., and as a function of decreased body parameters to change, whereby the body of the exposed person can be effectively and optimally adapted to a wide variety of predetermined climatic and environmental conditions.
