Collection unit
View Patent ↗A collection unit ( 80 )includes: a collection carrier cartridge ( 82 ) formed, at its center, with a through hole ( 82 b 3 ) into which a nozzle for supplying hot water or ATP reagent is inserted including a carrier filling dish ( 82 b ), on an outer circumference of the through hole ( 82 b 3 ), to be filled with a collection carrier ( 90 ) for collecting floating bacteria in the air, and an upper lid ( 82 a ) on which the carrier filling dish ( 82 b ) is placed, formed with a protrusion to be inserted through the through hole ( 82 b 3 ); an impactor nozzle head ( 86 ) covering a surface of the collection carrier ( 90 ) and has a plurality of nozzle holes ( 87 ) facing the collection carrier ( 90 ) surface; and a fan ( 84 ) introducing air to the collection carrier surface through the nozzle holes ( 87 ). A velocity of the air passing through the nozzle holes ( 87 ) is 40 m/s to 50 m/s.
1. A collection unit comprising:
a collection carrier cartridge including a carrier filling dish, provided with an inner bulkhead wall around a through hole at a center of a main plate thereof and an outer bulkhead wall around an outer portion of the main plate, where the carrier filling dish is fillable with a collection carrier between the inner and outer bulkhead walls for collecting bacteria floating in air, and an upper lid on which the carrier filling dish is placed, formed with a protrusion inserted through the through hole when collecting the bacteria floating in air, and where a nozzle for supplying solating liquid or ATP reagent is insertable through the through hole after collecting the bacteria floating in the air;
an impactor nozzle head which covers a surface of the collection carrier and has a plurality of nozzle holes facing the surface of the collection carrier; and
a fan which introduces air to the surface of the collection carrier, through the nozzle holes,
wherein a velocity of the air passing through the nozzle holes is 40 m/s to 50 m/s.
2. The collection unit according to claim 1 , wherein among the nozzle holes, centers of adjacent nozzle holes are arranged at respective apexes of an equilateral triangle.
3. The collection unit according to claim 2 , wherein the adjacent nozzle holes are arranged to have their said centers at the respective apexes of an equilateral triangle, in a plan view of the impactor nozzle head.
4. The collection unit according to claim 2 , wherein the nozzle holes have a hole diameter of 0.6 mm, a hole pitch between the nozzle holes is 2.6 mm, and a distance between an opposing surface of the impactor nozzle head and a surface of the collection carrier is 1.5 mm.
5. The collection unit according to claim 3 , wherein the nozzle holes have a hole diameter of 0.6 mm, a hole pitch between the nozzle holes is 2.6 mm, and a distance between an opposing surface of the impactor nozzle head and a surface of the collection carrier is 1.5 mm.
6. The collection unit according to claim 1 , wherein the nozzle holes have a hole diameter of 0.6 mm, a hole pitch between the nozzle holes is 2.6 mm, and a distance between an opposing surface of the impactor nozzle head and a surface of the collection carrier is 1.5 mm.
