Description

本発明は、人工透析、血漿交換、腹水処理等の際に使用される体外循環回路と透析装置等の圧力計(圧力調整器)との間に配置されるトランスデューサーフィルターの改良に関する。   The present invention relates to an improvement in a transducer filter disposed between an extracorporeal circuit used in artificial dialysis, plasma exchange, ascites treatment, and a pressure gauge (pressure regulator) such as a dialysis machine.

例えば特許文献1に記載のトランスデューサーフィルターは、圧力モニターライン(体外循環回路)側のハウジングと透析装置側のハウジングの間にシート状のフィルターを挟み込み、当該フィルターを超音波により、ハウジングに固定している。しかしながらこれらの構造では、フィルターをハウジングの溝に面で固定するため、固定強度が十分ではない。   For example, in the transducer filter described in Patent Document 1, a sheet-like filter is sandwiched between a housing on the pressure monitor line (extracorporeal circuit) side and a housing on the dialyzer side, and the filter is fixed to the housing by ultrasonic waves. ing. However, in these structures, since the filter is fixed to the groove of the housing by the surface, the fixing strength is not sufficient.

また特許文献2及び3にも、トランスデューサーフィルターと類似形状の液体ろ過フィルターが記載されている。当該フィルターは、二つのハウジングの間にフィルターをほぼ全面に亘って挟持する構造のため、フィルターに負荷がかかり、当該構造をトランスデューサーフィルターに採用すると品質安定性に欠ける。   Patent Documents 2 and 3 also describe a liquid filtration filter having a shape similar to that of a transducer filter. Since the filter has a structure in which the filter is sandwiched between the two housings over almost the entire surface, a load is applied to the filter, and when the structure is used for a transducer filter, quality stability is lacking.

特開2001−129079号公報(第1図、[0004]、[0005])JP 2001-129079 A (FIG. 1, [0004], [0005]) 特開平6−7648号公報(第1図、要約)Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-7648 (FIG. 1, summary) 特表平9−509361(第1図)Special table hei 9-509361 (Fig. 1)

解決しようとする問題点は、フィルターをハウジングの溝に面で固定するため、固定強度が十分ではない点、また、二つのハウジングの間にフィルターをほぼ全面に亘って挟持する構造のため、フィルターに負荷がかかり、当該構造をトランスデューサーフィルターに採用すると品質安定性に欠ける点である。   The problems to be solved are that the filter is fixed to the groove of the housing by the surface, and the fixing strength is not sufficient, and because the filter is sandwiched between the two housings almost entirely, the filter When this structure is applied to a transducer filter, quality stability is lacking.

[Fix filter F]
The filter F is disposed between the first support portion 4 and the second support portion 24. For example, the first weld portion 9 and the second weld portion 29 are welded by ultrasonic waves, a contact heater, a laser, or the like, so that the first Between the first staircase portion K1 and the second staircase portion K2 of the one sandwiching portion 5 and the second sandwiching portion 25, they are firmly pressed and sandwiched.
More specifically, the filter F is disposed between the first support portion 4 and the second support portion 24, and the outer peripheral edge portion of the filter F is connected to the first step portion D 1 and the first clamping portion 9 of the first weld portion 9. It arrange | positions between the 1st step part K1 of the part 5, and the 2nd step part D2 of the 2nd welding part 29, and the 2nd step part K2 of the 2nd clamping part 25. FIG.
Subsequently, ultrasonic waves are oscillated from the bottom side of the second housing 22 by any means of ultrasonic waves, heaters, and lasers, for example, in the case of ultrasonic waves, and the first step portion D1 and the concave portion M of the first welded portion 9. And the 2nd step part D2 and the convex part T of the 2nd welding part 29 are fuse | melted.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, a filter F is provided on the outer edges of the first air pressure buffer members 7 and 27 and the second air pressure buffer members 8 and 28 on the top surface of the first support portion 4 of the first housing 2. The first clamping part 5 is formed (projected), and a first welded part 9 is formed on the outer edge of the first clamping part 5 .
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 2 and FIGS. 6 to 8, the first air pressure buffer members 7 and 27 and the second air pressure buffer members 8 and 28 on the top surface of the second support 24 of the second housing 22 are provided. A second sandwiching portion 25 of the filter F is formed (projected) at the outer edge, and a second welded portion 29 is formed at the outer edge of the second sandwiching portion 25 .

第一の空気圧緩衝部材7、27は、図3から図5の例示では、縦断面が板状(矩形状)に形成され、第一支持部4と第二支持部24の天面方向から見て、略十字状となるように4片を組み合わせて形成されているが、空気圧が直接フィルターFに衝突するの防ぎ、緩衝できる形状であれば何でも良い。
第一支持部4と第二支持部24の天面方向から見て、例えば円状、環状、格子状であっても良い。
また第二の空気圧緩衝部材8、28は、図6から図8の例示では、縦断面が板状(矩形状)に形成され、第一支持部4と第二支持部24の天面方向から見て、4片が第一支持部4と第二支持部24の中心O方向に放射状に配置されているが、第一の空気圧緩衝部材7、27で緩衝された空気圧をさらに緩衝できる形状であれば何でも良い。第一支持部4と第二支持部24の天面方向から見て、例えば、環状であっても良い。
なお図3から図8の例示では、十字状の第一の空気圧緩衝部材7、27の各片の間に、第二の空気圧緩衝部材8、28の各片が、重ならないように交互に配置されている。
In the illustrations of FIGS. 3 to 5, the first pneumatic buffer members 7 and 27 are formed in a plate shape (rectangular shape) in the longitudinal section, and are viewed from the top surface direction of the first support portion 4 and the second support portion 24. The four pieces are combined to form a substantially cross shape, but any shape that can prevent and buffer the air pressure directly against the filter F may be used.
When viewed from the top surface direction of the first support portion 4 and the second support portion 24 , for example, a circular shape, an annular shape, or a lattice shape may be used.
Further, in the illustrations of FIGS. 6 to 8, the second pneumatic shock-absorbing members 8 and 28 are formed in a plate shape (rectangular shape) in the longitudinal section, and from the top surface direction of the first support portion 4 and the second support portion 24. As seen, the four pieces are arranged radially in the direction of the center O of the first support portion 4 and the second support portion 24 , but in a shape that can further buffer the air pressure buffered by the first air pressure buffer members 7 and 27. Anything is fine. When viewed from the top surface direction of the first support part 4 and the second support part 24 , for example, it may be annular.
3 to 8, the pieces of the second pneumatic cushioning members 8 and 28 are alternately arranged between the pieces of the cross-shaped first pneumatic cushioning members 7 and 27 so as not to overlap each other. Has been.

体外循環回路側から第一流路6を経て流入する空気圧は、第一の空気圧緩衝部材7の表面に直接衝突して分散され、フィルターFに印加される空気圧は弱められるので、フィルターFのダメージを軽くすることができる。
また仮に血液等の液体が、体外循環回路側から第一流路6を経て流入しても、空気圧と同様に第一の空気圧緩衝部材7の表面に直接衝突して分散され、フィルターFに印加される流体圧は弱められるので、フィルターFの負荷を軽くしてダメージを抑えることができる。
The air pressure flowing in from the extracorporeal circuit side through the first flow path 6 directly collides with the surface of the first air pressure buffer member 7 and is dispersed, and the air pressure applied to the filter F is weakened. Can be lightened.
Even if a liquid such as blood flows through the first flow path 6 from the extracorporeal circuit side, the liquid directly collides with the surface of the first air pressure buffer member 7 and is applied to the filter F in the same manner as the air pressure. Since the fluid pressure is reduced, the load on the filter F can be reduced and damage can be suppressed.

さらに前記空気圧または血液等の流体は第一の空気圧緩衝部材7、27の表面に直接衝突して分散された後、第二の空気圧緩衝部材8、28に衝突してさらに分散して、弱められるので、フィルターFの負荷をより軽くすることができる。   Further, the fluid such as air pressure or blood collides directly with the surfaces of the first air pressure buffer members 7 and 27 and is then dispersed, and further collides with the second air pressure buffer members 8 and 28 and further dispersed and weakened. Therefore, the load on the filter F can be further reduced.
