To tell. If the height of the protrusion is too high, the adhesion cannot be maintained and leakage occurs. If the height is too low, the degree of adhesion increases, the resistance increases, and the connector can rotate freely. It becomes impossible to do it. Therefore, the height of the protrusion is 1 ⁇ m or more and 100 ⁇ m or less, preferably 10 ⁇ m or more and 50 m or less.
- the contact area between the protrusions and the force bra part is advantageously small as the connector part is rotated. Further, in order to increase the degree of adhesion, it is advantageous to arrange the front surface without any gap. The following explains the existence of protrusions that exert an effect of balancing the conflicting performance.

- wrinkle is a technique for making fine irregularities and is a term generally used in injection molding.
- the advantage of using a textured surface is that it is relatively easy to achieve both liquid-tightness and rotation without increasing the accuracy of the parts. For example, when using parts that do not have a textured surface, high parts accuracy is required to improve liquid tightness. Finding close contact so that no gap is created increases the frictional resistance and makes rotation difficult. If the accuracy is such that a gap is created, rotation is easy, but liquid tightness cannot be maintained, and liquid leakage occurs.

[0030] 以下、図面を参照しながら本発明に係る医療用具用継手及び医療用器具の一実 施形態を具体的に説明する。 [0030] Hereinafter, an embodiment of a joint for medical devices and a medical instrument according to the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.
[0031] 尚、下記説明において上下を用いて方向を説明した場合には、医療用具用液体ポ ートを上にして医療用具を位置させた姿勢において、医療用具用継手と医療用器具 のチューブを接続した場合の上下方向である。また本発明において、医療用具用継 手の力ブラ部、コネクタ部、或いはロック部における「チューブ側」とは、該継手を医療 用具の液体ポートと医療用器具のチューブに接続した場合に該チューブにより近い 部分を指し、同様にして、「液体ポート側」とは該液体ポートにより近い部分を指す。 従って、本発明においては、「上」とは「チューブ側」を意味し、「下」とは「液体ポート 側」を意味する。 [0031] When the direction is described using the top and bottom in the following description, the medical device joint and the medical device tube are in a posture in which the medical device is positioned with the medical device liquid port facing up. Is the vertical direction when connected. In the present invention, the “tube side” of the force bra part, connector part, or lock part of the joint for medical equipment means that the tube is connected when the joint is connected to the liquid port of the medical equipment and the tube of the medical equipment. Similarly, the “liquid port side” refers to a portion closer to the liquid port. Therefore, in the present invention, “upper” means “tube side” and “lower” means “liquid port side”.
[0032] 本発明が適用される医療用具 10は、血液や血漿に代表される体液の体外循環治 療に用いられる医療用具 10である。その一例として前述したように、人工腎臓、血液 濾過透析器、血液濾過器、血漿成分分離器、血漿分離器、腹水濾過器、腹水濃縮 器等を挙げることが出来、このような医療用具 10が本発明に係る医療用具用継手 60 により医療用チューブ端部 14と接続される。 [0032] The medical device 10 to which the present invention is applied is a medical device 10 used for extracorporeal circulation treatment of a bodily fluid represented by blood or plasma. As an example, as described above, an artificial kidney, blood Examples thereof include a filtration dialyzer, a hemofilter, a plasma component separator, a plasma separator, an ascites filter, and an ascites concentrator. Such a medical device 10 can be used for medical purposes by the medical device joint 60 according to the present invention. Connected to tube end 14.
[0033] 医療用具用液体ポートは体液の体外循環治療を行う際には、医療用具のブライミ ングゃ体液の回収のために生理的溶液を流したり、体液自体を循環させたり、透析 液を流したりするのに用いられるが、その際、医療用具用液体ポートから体液等の流 体の流入や流出を伴い、医療用具用液体ポートと医療用チューブとを接続するコネ クタには高い耐圧気密性が要求されるので、本発明に係る医療用具用継手 60は好 ましく用いられる。 [0033] When a medical device fluid port performs extracorporeal circulation treatment of a body fluid, a physiological solution is flowed to collect the body fluid, a body fluid itself is circulated, or a dialysis fluid is flowed. At that time, the fluid port for medical devices is accompanied by the inflow and outflow of fluid such as body fluid, and the connector connecting the medical device liquid port and the medical tube has high pressure-tightness. Therefore, the medical device joint 60 according to the present invention is preferably used.
[0034] 図 1において、医療用具 10は、例えば、内部に中空糸等を収容した人工腎臓であり 、該医療用具 10の軸方向(長手方向)に血液等の流入口 11と流出口 12とを備えてお り、筒体の両端近傍の周面には、透析液等の他の流体の流入ポート 21及び流出ポ ート 22を備えている。流入口 11と流出口 12には従来知られたキャップ 13が着脱自在 に装着されており、医療用具用液体ポートとなる流入ポート 21と流出ポート 22には、 本発明に係る医療用具用継手 60が密着状態で被冠される。 In FIG. 1, a medical device 10 is, for example, an artificial kidney in which a hollow fiber or the like is accommodated, and an inflow port 11 and an outflow port 12 for blood or the like in the axial direction (longitudinal direction) of the medical device 10 An inflow port 21 and an outflow port 22 for other fluids such as dialysate are provided on the peripheral surface in the vicinity of both ends of the cylinder. A conventionally known cap 13 is detachably attached to the inflow port 11 and the outflow port 12, and the inflow port 21 and the outflow port 22 that are liquid ports for medical devices are connected to the medical device joint 60 according to the present invention. Is crowned in close contact.
[0035] 流入ポート 21と流出ポート 22とは同じ形状で構成され、そこに被冠される医療用具 用継手 60も同じものが使用される。従って、以下の説明では、医療用具用液体ポート の一例として流入ポート 21に医療用具用継手 60を被冠する場合の一例について説 明する。 [0035] The inflow port 21 and the outflow port 22 are configured in the same shape, and the same medical device joint 60 to be covered therewith is used. Therefore, in the following description, an example in which the medical device joint 60 is crowned on the inflow port 21 will be described as an example of the medical device liquid port.
[0036] 医療用具用継手 60は、図 2及び図 3に示すように、力プラ部 30、コネクタ部 40、ロック 機構を構成するロック部 50の 3つの部品からなり、図 2及び図 3に示した配置にして組 み立てる。例えば、先ず力ブラ部 30の内筒 33にコネクタ部 40の中空管小径部 43を挿 入して、ロック部 50の貫通孔 54にコネクタ部 40の中空管大径部 41を通してロック部 50 をねじ込めば良い。力プラ部 30の素材としては、ォレフィン系の素材、ポリエチレン、 ポリプロピレン等が好まし 、。ロック機構を構成するロック部 50は力ブラ部 30とコネクタ 部 40との脱離防止部材であり、該ロック機構はコネクタ部 40の力ブラ部 30からの脱離 防止機構である。 [0036] As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the medical device joint 60 is composed of three parts: a force plastic part 30, a connector part 40, and a lock part 50 constituting a lock mechanism. Assemble as shown. For example, first, the hollow tube small diameter portion 43 of the connector portion 40 is inserted into the inner cylinder 33 of the force bra portion 30, and the lock portion is inserted into the through hole 54 of the lock portion 50 through the hollow tube large diameter portion 41 of the connector portion 40. Just screw in 50. As the material for the force plastic part 30, olefin-based materials, polyethylene, polypropylene, etc. are preferred. The lock part 50 constituting the lock mechanism is a detachment prevention member for the force bra part 30 and the connector part 40, and the lock mechanism is a detachment prevention mechanism for the connector part 40 from the force bra part 30.
[0037] 本発明における中空管となるコネクタ部 40, 100の他端である力ブラ部 30の内筒内 側への挿入部分となる中空管小径部 43の中間外表面に設けられる突起とは、円錐 状の形状を基本とするもので、高さ方向に対して、幅が小さくなる形状のものを言う。 突起の高さとしては、高すぎると、密着性が保持できず、漏れを生じる、また、高さが 低すぎると、密着度が増し、抵抗力が大きくなり、コネクタ部の回動が、自在に行えな くなる。従って、突起の高さとしては、 1 μ m以上 100 μ m以下で、好ましくは、 10 μ m以上 50 m以下が良い。 [0037] In the inner cylinder of the force bra portion 30 which is the other end of the connector portions 40, 100 to be hollow tubes in the present invention The protrusion provided on the intermediate outer surface of the hollow tube small-diameter portion 43 serving as the insertion portion on the side is basically a conical shape, and has a shape whose width decreases in the height direction. To tell. If the height of the protrusion is too high, the adhesion cannot be maintained and leakage occurs. If the height is too low, the degree of adhesion increases, the resistance increases, and the connector can rotate freely. It becomes impossible to do it. Therefore, the height of the protrusion is 1 μm or more and 100 μm or less, preferably 10 μm or more and 50 m or less.
[0038] 突起の存在状況については、コネクタ部を回動させるため、突起と力ブラ部の接触 面積は絶対量として少ないほうが有利である。また、密着度を高めるためには、前面 に隙間無く配置されていると有利である。この相反する性能をバランス良ぐ効果を発 揮させる突起の在りようを以下に説明する。 [0038] Regarding the presence of the protrusions, the contact area between the protrusions and the force bra part is advantageously small as the connector part is rotated. Further, in order to increase the degree of adhesion, it is advantageous to arrange the front surface without any gap. The following explains the existence of protrusions that exert an effect of balancing the conflicting performance.
[0039] 突起の形態として以下に例を挙げる。組み立て後の医療用具用継手 60の概観と構 造を図 4 (a) , (b)に示す。図 8に示すように、中空管で構成されるコネクタ部 40のカブ ラ部 30の内筒 33内側への挿入部分となる中空管小径部 43の中間外表面には該中空 管となる中空管小径部 43の外周に沿った円周状突起 43aがあり、該中空管小径部 43 力 S力ブラ部 30の内筒 33内側へ挿入された際に該内筒 33の内周面 33bと該円周状突 起 43aの突起部分が接して回動自在且つ液密に接合されるように成形されて!、る。 [0039] Examples of the shape of the protrusion are given below. Figures 4 (a) and 4 (b) show the appearance and structure of the medical device joint 60 after assembly. As shown in FIG. 8, the hollow tube is formed on the intermediate outer surface of the small-diameter portion 43 of the hollow tube serving as the insertion portion inside the inner tube 33 of the cover portion 30 of the connector portion 40 formed of a hollow tube. There is a circumferential projection 43a along the outer periphery of the hollow tube small diameter portion 43, and when the hollow tube small diameter portion 43 force S force bra portion 30 is inserted into the inner tube 33 inside, the inner periphery of the inner tube 33 The surface 33b and the projecting portion of the circumferential projection 43a are in contact with each other and are formed so as to be rotatable and liquid-tightly joined.
[0040] ここで円周状突起 43aとは、中空管小径部 43の外周面に沿って円形に突起したも のを意味する。円周状突起 43aの数は 1つ以上なら幾つでも良いが、好ましくは 1つ であり、より好ましくは 2つである。円周状突起 43aが 2つ以上あるとき、該円周状突起 43aはそれぞれ独立していなくても良い。例えば、円周状突起 43aの突起部分の裾野 が重なり合った状態で、頂点が独立で存在して!/、れば良!、。 [0040] Here, the circumferential protrusion 43a means one that protrudes in a circular shape along the outer peripheral surface of the small-diameter portion 43 of the hollow tube. The number of the circumferential protrusions 43a may be any number as long as it is one or more, but is preferably one, and more preferably two. When there are two or more circumferential protrusions 43a, the circumferential protrusions 43a may not be independent of each other. For example, if the ridges of the circumferential protrusions 43a overlap, the vertices exist independently!
[0041] また、円周状突起 43aは内筒 33の内周面 33bと均等に接触できれば、図 8 (b)に示 すように側面から見て曲線状に隆起する円周状突起 43aであっても良いし、鋭く尖つ た円周状突起 43aであっても良い。ただし、円周状突起 43aが該内筒 33の内周面 33b と接触する面積があまり大きいと、摩擦抵抗が大きくなり回動性が低下するので好ま しくない。 [0041] Further, if the circumferential projection 43a can be in uniform contact with the inner circumferential surface 33b of the inner cylinder 33, as shown in FIG. It may be a circular protrusion 43a having a sharp point. However, if the area where the circumferential protrusion 43a is in contact with the inner peripheral surface 33b of the inner cylinder 33 is too large, it is not preferable because the frictional resistance is increased and the rotational performance is lowered.
[0042] 本発明に係る別の態様では、図 9に示すように、中空管で構成されるコネクタ部 100 の力プラ部 30の内筒 33への挿入部分となる中空管小径部 43の外表面 43c, 43dはそ れぞれ粗なシボ面と密なシボ面になっており、力プラ部 30の内筒 33へ挿入された際 に該内筒 33の内周面 33bと回動自在且つ液密に接合されている。即ち、中空管とな るコネクタ部 100の中空管小径部 43の中間外表面 43c, 43dの突起がシボ面で構成さ れている。 In another aspect according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 9, a hollow tube small-diameter portion 43 that serves as an insertion portion of the force plastic portion 30 of the connector portion 100 formed of a hollow tube into the inner cylinder 33. The outer surfaces 43c and 43d are Each has a rough and dense texture surface, and when inserted into the inner cylinder 33 of the force plastic portion 30, it is joined to the inner peripheral surface 33b of the inner cylinder 33 in a freely rotatable and liquid-tight manner. ing. In other words, the protrusions on the intermediate outer surfaces 43c and 43d of the hollow tube small diameter portion 43 of the connector portion 100 to be a hollow tube are formed with a textured surface.
[0043] ここで、シボとは細やかな凹凸をつける技法のことで射出成形では一般的に使用さ れる用語である。シボ面を使用する利点は部品精度を高めなくても液密性と回動性 の両者を達成することが比較的容易な点にある。例えば、シボ面を形成しない部品を 用いたとき、液密性を上げるためには部品精度は高いものが求められる。隙間が生ま れないように面の密着を求めると摩擦抵抗が大きくなり、回動が困難になる。隙間が 生まれるような精度であれば回動は容易になるが液密性が保持出来ず、液漏れが生 じてしまう。 [0043] Here, wrinkle is a technique for making fine irregularities and is a term generally used in injection molding. The advantage of using a textured surface is that it is relatively easy to achieve both liquid-tightness and rotation without increasing the accuracy of the parts. For example, when using parts that do not have a textured surface, high parts accuracy is required to improve liquid tightness. Finding close contact so that no gap is created increases the frictional resistance and makes rotation difficult. If the accuracy is such that a gap is created, rotation is easy, but liquid tightness cannot be maintained, and liquid leakage occurs.
[0044] シボは、成形金型の表面に大きさの揃った砂を吹き付ける(サンドブラスト)、或!、は 、放電加工を施し細かなキズを付けて成形金型の表面に微細な凹凸をつくることで 作られる。放電加工の加工条件は、サンドブラストによるシボ加工の状態を基準にし て設定される。シボには工業規格のような統一規格は存在せず、各メーカーが独自 の規格を持っており、見本の表面状態を基準にして規格を定めている。シボ面の粗 密ゃ深さを制御する因子は、サンドブラストにおいては吹き付ける砂の量、吹き付け 時の圧力であり、放電カ卩ェにおいては、放電電極の成形金型表面からの距離、成形 金型表面に沿った放電電極の移動速度、電圧、電流である。 [0044] The grain is sprayed with sand of uniform size on the surface of the molding die (sand blasting), or! Is made by applying electrical discharge machining to create fine irregularities on the surface of the molding die with fine scratches. The machining conditions for electrical discharge machining are set based on the state of embossing by sandblasting. Shibo does not have a unified standard such as an industrial standard, and each manufacturer has its own standard, and the standard is determined based on the surface condition of the sample. Factors that control the roughness and depth of the textured surface are the amount of sand to be blown and the pressure at the time of blowing in sandblasting, and the distance from the surface of the discharge electrode to the mold, The moving speed, voltage, and current of the discharge electrode along the surface.
[0045] 基本的には、シボ加工は、肖 ijる溝の深さ、言い換えれば、成形品表面の凸の高さで 制御されるものである。サンドブラストに使用される砂は、 JIS R6001研磨剤粒度で 規定されている研磨剤である。 JIS規格の粒度と深さは相関関係があり、溝の深さを 決めると研磨剤の粒度が決まる。一例を挙げると、 7ミクロンから 10ミクロンでは研磨 剤粒度 # 46、 30ミクロンでは研磨剤粒度 # 20、 50ミクロンでは研磨剤粒度 # 14の 研磨剤を用いる。表面に現れる粗、密の状態は、研磨剤の粒の大きさと相関関係に あり、溝の深さが浅いものが表面密なシボとなり、溝の深いものが表面粗なシボとなる [0045] Basically, the embossing is controlled by the depth of the groove, in other words, by the convex height of the surface of the molded product. Sand used for sandblasting is an abrasive specified by JIS R6001 abrasive particle size. The grain size and depth of the JIS standard have a correlation, and the grain size of the abrasive is determined by determining the groove depth. For example, abrasive grain size # 46 is used for 7 to 10 microns, abrasive grain size 20 for 30 microns, and abrasive grain size 14 for 50 microns. The rough and dense states appearing on the surface correlate with the size of the abrasive grains, with shallow grooves having surface dense wrinkles and deep grooves having surface rough wrinkles.
[0046] このようにして形成される成形品表面の微細な凸部の高さは、 10ミクロンから 50ミク ロン程度である。粗なシボ面の凸部の高さは 20ミクロンから 50ミクロンで、好ましくは 2 0ミクロン力ら 30ミクロンである。密なシボ面の凸部の高さは 10ミクロンから 30ミクロン で、好ましくは 10ミクロンから 20ミクロンである。 [0046] The height of the fine protrusions on the surface of the molded product thus formed is 10 microns to 50 microns. About Ron. The height of the convex part of the rough textured surface is 20 to 50 microns, preferably 20 microns and 30 microns. The height of the convex portion of the dense embossed surface is 10 to 30 microns, preferably 10 to 20 microns.
[0047] 粗なシボ面と密なシボ面との配置順序は特に限定されな 、が、ストッパ 42側が粗で 端部側が密な方がより好ましい。また中空管小径部 43の外表面 43c, 43dに占める粗 なシボ面と密なシボ面との割合は特に限定するものではな 、。また非シボ面が含まれ ていても良い。好ましくは中空管小径部 43の外表面 43c, 43dに占める粗なシボ面の 割合が 50%、密なシボ面の割合が 50%である。 [0047] The arrangement order of the rough texture surface and the dense texture surface is not particularly limited, but it is more preferable that the stopper 42 side is rough and the end portion side is dense. Further, the ratio of the rough texture surface and the dense texture surface to the outer surfaces 43c, 43d of the hollow tube small diameter portion 43 is not particularly limited. Non-textured surfaces may also be included. Preferably, the proportion of the rough textured surface in the outer surfaces 43c and 43d of the hollow tube small diameter portion 43 is 50%, and the ratio of the dense textured surface is 50%.
[0048] 密なシボ面はコネクタ部 100の中空管と、力プラ部 30の内筒 33との液密性を高めるこ とに寄与する力 一方、コネクタ部 100の中空管と、力ブラ部 30の内筒 33との回動性に 関しては阻害的に働く。逆に粗なシボ面はコネクタ部 100の中空管と、力ブラ部 30の 内筒 33との回動性を高めることに寄与する力 液密性は低下させる。従って、両者の 占める割合を変化させることにより目的に応じた最適な割合を選択すれば良い。 [0048] The dense embossed surface is a force that contributes to improving the liquid tightness between the hollow tube of the connector part 100 and the inner tube 33 of the force plastic part 30. The rotation of the bra part 30 with the inner cylinder 33 works obstructively. On the other hand, the rough textured surface reduces the force-liquid tightness that contributes to improving the pivotability of the hollow tube of the connector portion 100 and the inner tube 33 of the force bra portion 30. Therefore, it is only necessary to select the optimal ratio according to the purpose by changing the ratio of both.
[0049] 中空管となる中空管小径部 43の力ブラ部 30の内筒 33内側への挿入部分の先端付 近外側には円周状突起 43bがあり、該中空管小径部 43が力ブラ部 30の内筒 33内側 へ挿入された際には該円周状突起 43bは力ブラ部 30の内筒 33先端の医療用具用液 体ポート側面上に突出して、該中空管となる中空管小径部 43が該カブラ部 30の内筒 33からチューブ側方向に脱離するのを防ぐ機能を有する。 [0049] There is a circumferential protrusion 43b on the outer side of the inner tube 33 of the inner portion of the inner tube 33 of the force bra portion 30 of the hollow tube small diameter portion 43 to be a hollow tube. Is inserted into the inner tube 33 of the force bra portion 30, the circumferential projection 43 b protrudes on the side of the medical device liquid port at the tip of the inner tube 33 of the force bra portion 30, and the hollow tube The hollow tube small-diameter portion 43 is prevented from detaching from the inner tube 33 of the turnbuckle portion 30 in the tube side direction.
[0050] 即ち、力ブラ部 30とコネクタ部 40を一端接続すると、コネクタ部 40は引張っても抜け ない。中空管となる中空管小径部 43の力ブラ部 30の内筒 33内側への挿入部分の先 端付近外側に設けられた円周状突起 43bは、コネクタ部 40の力ブラ部 30とからの脱離 防止機構としてのロック機構として構成される。 That is, when the force bra part 30 and the connector part 40 are connected at one end, the connector part 40 does not come out even when pulled. A hollow projection 43b provided on the outer side near the front end of the insertion portion to the inside of the inner tube 33 of the force bra portion 30 of the hollow tube small-diameter portion 43 serving as a hollow tube is connected to the force bra portion 30 of the connector portion 40. It is configured as a lock mechanism as a mechanism for preventing detachment from the body.
[0051] 円周状突起 43bは、中空管となる中空管小径部 43が該カブラ部 30の内筒 33から脱 離するのを防げるのであればどんな形状でも良いが、好ましくは前述した中空管小 径部 43の外周面に沿って円形に突起した円周状突起 43aと同様の円周状突起 43b である。また、ロック部 50を有する態様の医療用具用継手 60においては、ロック部 50 によってコネクタ部 40と力ブラ部 30の脱離は防止できるから、円周状突起 43bはなくて も良い。 [0052] 上記のような構造にすることで、医療用具 10へ医療用器具を取り付ける際にしばし ば起こる医療用器具チューブの捩れを解消することが出来る。コネクタ部 40は独立し た部品からなっており、この部分が回動することで、医療用器具チューブが接続され て!ヽてもチューブの復元力で捩れが解消される構造になって 、る。中空管力 なるコ ネクタ部 40の一端部である中空管大径部 41は医療用チューブ端部 14に接続可能な 構造を有する。 [0051] The circular protrusion 43b may have any shape as long as it can prevent the hollow tube small-diameter portion 43 serving as a hollow tube from being separated from the inner tube 33 of the turnbuckle portion 30, but is preferably as described above. This is a circumferential protrusion 43b similar to the circumferential protrusion 43a that protrudes in a circular shape along the outer peripheral surface of the hollow tube small-diameter portion 43. Further, in the medical device joint 60 having the lock portion 50, since the detachment of the connector portion 40 and the force bra portion 30 can be prevented by the lock portion 50, the circumferential protrusion 43b may be omitted. [0052] By adopting the structure as described above, twisting of the medical instrument tube that often occurs when the medical instrument is attached to the medical instrument 10 can be eliminated. The connector part 40 is composed of independent parts, and this part rotates to connect the medical instrument tube! Even if the tube is restored, the twisting is eliminated by the restoring force of the tube. . The hollow tube large-diameter portion 41, which is one end portion of the connector portion 40 having a hollow tube force, has a structure that can be connected to the medical tube end portion.
[0053] 力ブラ部 30と医療用チューブ端部 14との接続部材となるコネクタ部 40は、その中空 管の外周中間部外側に突出したストッパ 42を有している。ストッパ 42は中空管からな るコネクタ部 40を力ブラ部 30の内筒 33内側へ挿入した際に挿入方向に対する移動を 制限すると共に、力ブラ部 30の内筒 33と液密に接合する機能を有する。 [0053] The connector portion 40, which is a connecting member between the force bra portion 30 and the medical tube end portion 14, has a stopper 42 that protrudes outside the outer peripheral intermediate portion of the hollow tube. The stopper 42 restricts movement in the insertion direction when the connector portion 40 made of a hollow tube is inserted into the inner tube 33 of the force bra portion 30 and is joined to the inner tube 33 of the force bra portion 30 in a liquid-tight manner. It has a function.
[0054] ストッパ 42の小径部側面 42aと力プラ部 30の内筒 33のチューブ側端面 33cとの接合 具合はコネクタ部 40と力プラ部 30との液密性にとって重要である。ストッパ 42の小径部 側面 42aと力プラ部 30の内筒 33のチューブ側端面 33cとを当接させて該ストツバ 42の 大径部側面 42bをロック部 50で押圧することにより液密にすることが出来る。更に液密 性を上げるには図 7に示す力ブラ部 30の連結板 1のチューブ側に設けられたガスケッ ト台座 36にガスケットを嵌め込んでも良い。 [0054] The degree of joining of the small-diameter side surface 42a of the stopper 42 and the tube side end surface 33c of the inner cylinder 33 of the force plastic portion 30 is important for the liquid tightness between the connector portion 40 and the force plastic portion 30. The small diameter side surface 42a of the stopper 42 and the tube side end surface 33c of the inner cylinder 33 of the force plastic portion 30 are brought into contact with each other, and the large diameter side surface 42b of the stagger 42 is pressed by the lock portion 50 to make it liquid-tight. I can do it. In order to further improve the liquid tightness, a gasket may be fitted into a gasket base 36 provided on the tube side of the connecting plate 1 of the force bra portion 30 shown in FIG.
[0055] また、ストッパ 42の医療用具用液体ポート側面となる小径部側面 42aに該ストッパ 42 を力ブラ部 30の内筒 33と回動自在且つ液密に接合するための図示しない円周状突 起を設けることも出来る。 [0055] Further, a circumferential shape (not shown) for joining the stopper 42 to the inner tube 33 of the force bra portion 30 in a rotatable and liquid-tight manner on the side surface 42a of the small-diameter portion serving as the side surface of the liquid port for the medical device of the stopper 42. Protrusions can also be provided.
[0056] ガスケットは円盤状のシールで、素材としてはポリテトラフルォロエチレン(PTFE) ゃテトラフルォロエチレン 'パーフルォロアルキルビュルエーテル共重合体(PFA)に 代表されるフッ素系榭脂、或いはシリコン榭脂等の摺動性を有する素材を使用する。 前述したように、ガスケットを使用しなくても液密に保つことは可能である。 [0056] The gasket is a disk-shaped seal, and the material is polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or fluorine-based soot typified by tetrafluoroethylene 'perfluoroalkyl butyl ether copolymer (PFA). A material having slidability such as fat or silicone resin is used. As described above, it is possible to keep liquid-tight without using a gasket.
[0057] この場合、力プラ部 30のガスケット台座 36の底面を内筒 33のチューブ側端面 33cと 同じ高さまで引き上げて同一平面とし、コネクタ部 40のストッパ 42の小径部側面 42aと の接触面積が最大となるようにする。 [0057] In this case, the bottom surface of the gasket pedestal 36 of the force plastic part 30 is pulled up to the same height as the tube side end face 33c of the inner cylinder 33 to make it the same plane, and the contact area with the small diameter side surface 42a of the stopper 42 of the connector part 40 Is maximized.
[0058] また、ストッパ 42と内筒 33のチューブ側端面 33cの材質が重要である。ストッパ 42の 材質は、硬質の素材を用いることが必要である。また、中空管大径部 41の外周面また は内周面にチューブを接着する必要性があるため、比較的硬質の素材で溶剤に溶 ける素材が好ましぐアクリロニトリル—ブタジエン—スチレン (ABS)榭脂、硬質ポリ 塩ィ匕ビュル (硬質 PVC)、ポリカーボネート榭脂等が好ましい。内筒 33のチューブ側 端面 33cの材質は、比較的軟質の素材が好ましぐ例えばォレフィン系の素材、ポリ エチレン、ポリプロピレン等が好ましい。 [0058] The material of the stopper 42 and the tube side end surface 33c of the inner cylinder 33 is important. The stopper 42 must be made of a hard material. In addition, the outer peripheral surface of the large-diameter portion 41 of the hollow tube or Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) resin, hard polyvinyl chloride (hard PVC), which is preferred to be a relatively hard material that can be dissolved in a solvent. ), Polycarbonate resin, etc. are preferred. The material of the tube side end surface 33c of the inner cylinder 33 is preferably a relatively soft material, for example, an olefin-based material, polyethylene, polypropylene or the like.
[0059] ストッパ 42は、ロック部 50で大径部側面 42bが押えられ、内筒 33のチューブ側端面 3 3cと小径部側面 42aを密着させる。このとき、ストッパ 42が軟質であると、ロック部 50の 押える力で歪み、内筒 33のチューブ側端面 33cと、ストッパ 42の小径部側面 42aとの 密着度が低下する。また、シールリングとの密着性を保持するためにも、ストッパ 42が 硬質であることにより、均一に全周面に押える力をかけることが出来る。内筒 33のチュ 一ブ側端面 33cは、軟質の素材を用いることで、押さえつけられる力が分散される。こ れによって、コネクタ部 40のストッパ 42の小径部側面 42aと、力プラ部 30の内筒 33のチ ユーブ側端面 33cとの液密性が増すので良い。また、ストッパ 42の小径部側面 42aが 内筒 33のチューブ側端面 33cと密着することにより、コネクタ部 40の回動性が著しく低 下する場合には、ストツバ 42の小径部側面 42aに図示しない円周状突起を設けて接 触面積を減らして回動性を高めても良い。 In the stopper 42, the large-diameter side surface 42b is pressed by the lock portion 50, and the tube side end surface 33c of the inner cylinder 33 and the small-diameter side surface 42a are brought into close contact with each other. At this time, if the stopper 42 is soft, it is distorted by the pressing force of the lock portion 50, and the degree of adhesion between the tube side end surface 33c of the inner cylinder 33 and the small diameter side surface 42a of the stopper 42 decreases. In addition, in order to maintain adhesion to the seal ring, the stopper 42 is hard, so that a pressing force can be uniformly applied to the entire circumferential surface. The tube side end surface 33c of the inner cylinder 33 uses a soft material to disperse the pressing force. Thereby, the liquid tightness between the small diameter side surface 42a of the stopper 42 of the connector portion 40 and the tube side end surface 33c of the inner cylinder 33 of the force plastic portion 30 may be increased. In addition, when the small diameter side surface 42a of the stopper 42 is in close contact with the tube side end surface 33c of the inner cylinder 33, if the pivotability of the connector portion 40 is significantly reduced, it is not shown on the small diameter side surface 42a of the stopper 42. Circumferential protrusions may be provided to reduce the contact area and improve the turning performance.
[0060] ロック部 50は力プラ部 30とコネクタ部 40との脱離防止部材である。コネクタ部 40の中 空管の一端となる中空管大径部 41は揷通出来るが、ストツバ 42は揷通出来ない貫通 孔 54を有するキャップ力もなる。キャップの側壁内周面には力プラ部 30の外筒 35のチ ユーブ側外周面に形成されたネジ 31に螺合するネジ 53が形成されて 、る。 The lock part 50 is a member for preventing the detachment between the force plastic part 30 and the connector part 40. The hollow tube large-diameter portion 41 serving as one end of the hollow tube of the connector portion 40 can pass through, but the stopper 42 also has a cap force having a through hole 54 that cannot pass through. A screw 53 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the side wall of the cap. The screw 53 is screwed to the screw 31 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the outer cylinder 35 of the force plastic portion 30.
[0061] キャップ力 なるロック部 50の天板内側には突起 52が形成されており、力プラ部 30 の内筒 33へ挿入されたコネクタ部 40の中空管を該ロック部 50の貫通孔 54に揷通して 該ロック部 50を回動させながら力ブラ部 30に対してねじ込むとキャップ力 なるロック 部 50の天板内側に形成した突起 52がコネクタ部 40のストッパ 42を押圧する。 [0061] A protrusion 52 is formed on the inner side of the top plate of the lock portion 50 having a cap force, and the hollow tube of the connector portion 40 inserted into the inner cylinder 33 of the force plastic portion 30 is connected to the through hole of the lock portion 50. When the lock part 50 is screwed into the force bra part 30 while passing through 54 and screwed into the force bra part 30, the protrusion 52 formed on the inner side of the top part of the lock part 50 presses the stopper 42 of the connector part 40.
[0062] 更に図 4 (b)に示すように、ロック部 50は力ブラ部 30にねじ込まれた際に突起 52によ つてストッパ 42を押圧することにより、コネクタ部 40のストッパ 42の小径部側面 42aと、 力ブラ部 30の内筒 33のチューブ側端面 33cとを密着させて両者を液密に保つ。これ により、ストツバ 42が力ブラ部 30の内筒 33に押圧された際には液密に接合する機能を 有する。 [0062] Further, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), when the lock portion 50 is screwed into the force bra portion 30, the small diameter portion of the stopper 42 of the connector portion 40 is pressed by pressing the stopper 42 with the protrusion 52. The side surface 42a and the tube side end surface 33c of the inner cylinder 33 of the force bra portion 30 are brought into close contact with each other to keep them both liquid-tight. As a result, when the stopper 42 is pressed against the inner cylinder 33 of the force bra 30, it has a function of joining liquid tightly. Have.
[0063] 図 10に示すように、ロック部 50の内周面に形成されたネジ 53と、力プラ部 30の外筒 3 5のチューブ側外周面に形成されたネジ 31とは螺合するように形成されて!ヽるが、右 ネジであっても左ネジであっても良!、。 As shown in FIG. 10, the screw 53 formed on the inner peripheral surface of the lock portion 50 and the screw 31 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the outer cylinder 35 of the force plastic portion 30 are screwed together. It is formed like this! It can be right-handed or left-handed!
[0064] 医療用具 10の液体ポートと力ブラ部 30を接続する際には力ブラ部 30を右ネジ方向 に回転させるので、ロック部 50と力ブラ部 30も右ネジにしたほうがより好ましい。また口 ック部 50の周囲には滑り止め 51として突起が形成されている力 滑り止めとしての機 能を果たすのであれば本実施形態の形状に限定されるものではない。 [0064] When connecting the fluid port of the medical device 10 and the force bra portion 30, the force bra portion 30 is rotated in the right-handed screw direction, so it is more preferable that the lock portion 50 and the force bra portion 30 are also right-handed. Further, the shape of the present embodiment is not limited as long as the anti-slip 51 is provided around the mouth portion 50 as long as it functions as a non-slip.
[0065] 図 5及び図 6には本発明に係る医療用具用継手 60と流入ポート 21との接合状態が 図示されている。医療用具用液体ポートとなる流入ポート 21は医療用具 10の内部と 連通した開口円筒部を有し該開口円筒部の円筒壁 23の外周面に凸条 26aが形成さ れている。医療用具用継手 60は医療用具用液体ポートとなる流入ポート 21に対して 医療用チューブ端部 14を接続するためのものである。 FIGS. 5 and 6 show the joined state of the medical device joint 60 and the inflow port 21 according to the present invention. The inflow port 21 serving as the liquid port for the medical device has an open cylindrical portion communicating with the inside of the medical device 10, and a protrusion 26 a is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical wall 23 of the open cylindrical portion. The medical device joint 60 is used to connect the medical tube end 14 to the inflow port 21 serving as a medical device liquid port.
[0066] 流入ポート 21は円筒壁 23を有し、その先端には小径部 24を有しており、且つ基部 側には環状陥没部 25を有して 、る。この環状陥没部 25は他の機器との接続時に機 器の一部が入り込み、接続を安定させるためのものである。円筒壁 23の外周面にお ける環状陥没部 25よりもわずかに医療用具 10側の位置に所定の数の凸条 26aがー 体成形されて 、る。本実施形態では 2つの凸条 26aが形成された一例である。 [0066] The inflow port 21 has a cylindrical wall 23, a small-diameter portion 24 at the tip, and an annular recess 25 on the base side. This annular depression 25 is used to stabilize the connection by allowing a part of the device to enter when connecting to other devices. A predetermined number of ridges 26a are formed in a body at a position slightly closer to the medical device 10 than the annular depression 25 on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical wall 23. In the present embodiment, two ridges 26a are formed.
[0067] 図 5 (a)の側面図では凸条 26aは手前に 1個しか見えないが、円筒を挟んでその対 面 (裏側)にもう一つの凸条 26aが形成されている(図 6参照)。凸条 26aは流入ポート 2 1の軸線に直交する同一平面内に配置され、更に軸線に直交する方向に伸びるリブ 形状となっている。 [0067] In the side view of Fig. 5 (a), only one ridge 26a is visible in front, but another ridge 26a is formed on the opposite side (back side) with the cylinder in between (Fig. 6). reference). The ridge 26a is disposed in the same plane perpendicular to the axis of the inflow port 21 and has a rib shape extending in a direction perpendicular to the axis.
[0068] 尚、本発明に係る医療用具用継手 60を医療用具 10の医療用具用液体ポートに接 続する場合において、環状陥没部 25は必須のものではない。また本発明に係る医療 用具用継手 60において医療用具 10側に医療用具用液体ポートとして形成される円 筒壁 23の構造は任意であり、医療用具用継手 60が被冠出来ること、及びその外周面 の一部に凸条 26aが形成されていることを条件に任意であり、特に制限はない。更に 凸条 26aは円柱状の突起であっても良いが、強度の面を考慮すれば、本実施形態に 示した如ぐ軸線に直交する方向のリブ状であることが好ましい。 [0068] In the case where the medical device joint 60 according to the present invention is connected to the medical device liquid port of the medical device 10, the annular depression 25 is not essential. Further, in the medical device joint 60 according to the present invention, the structure of the cylindrical wall 23 formed as a medical device liquid port on the medical device 10 side is arbitrary, and the medical device joint 60 can be crowned and its outer periphery. There is no particular limitation as long as the ridges 26a are formed on a part of the surface. Further, the ridge 26a may be a cylindrical protrusion, but considering the strength, A rib shape in a direction perpendicular to the axis as shown is preferable.
[0069] 力ブラ部 30は医療用具用液体ポートとコネクタ部 40との接続部材であって、該医療 用具用液体ポートに接続可能な外筒 32と、該外筒 32内に納まる内筒 33を有し、外筒 32の内壁中間部と内筒 33の外壁とが連結板 1により気密的に結合されている。 [0069] The force bra portion 30 is a connecting member between the medical device liquid port and the connector portion 40, and includes an outer cylinder 32 connectable to the medical device liquid port, and an inner cylinder 33 accommodated in the outer cylinder 32. The intermediate portion of the inner wall of the outer cylinder 32 and the outer wall of the inner cylinder 33 are hermetically coupled by the connecting plate 1.
[0070] 外筒 32の医療用具用液体ポート側内周面 32aには医療用具用液体ポートとなる流 入ポート 21の凸条 26aを容易に侵入させるための拡開して後退した肉薄部 38と、外筒 32を医療用具用液体ポートとなる流入ポート 21に嵌め込んで回動すると該流入ポー ト 21の凸条 26aが入り込む凹溝 38aが形成されている。外筒 32のチューブ側外周面に はネジ 31が形成されている。 [0070] The medical device liquid port side inner peripheral surface 32a of the outer cylinder 32 is an expanded and retracted thin portion 38 for allowing the protrusion 26a of the inflow port 21 to be a medical device liquid port to easily enter 38. Then, when the outer cylinder 32 is fitted into the inflow port 21 serving as a medical device liquid port and rotated, a concave groove 38a into which the ridge 26a of the inflow port 21 enters is formed. A screw 31 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the outer cylinder 32 on the tube side.
[0071] 図 5に示すように、力ブラ部 30を流入ポート 21に被冠して接続すると、力ブラ部 30の 内筒 33が流入ポート 21の中に挿入されて該内筒 33の先端シーリング部 33aと流入ポ ート 21の円筒壁 23の内周面 27に密着して液密に挿入される構造となっている。またこ の時、ガイド 35aは流入ポート 21を所定の位置に収め、動かないように保持する働き をする。 As shown in FIG. 5, when the force bra part 30 is crowned and connected to the inflow port 21, the inner cylinder 33 of the force bra part 30 is inserted into the inflow port 21 and the tip of the inner cylinder 33 is inserted. The sealing portion 33a and the inner peripheral surface 27 of the cylindrical wall 23 of the inflow port 21 are in close contact with each other and inserted in a liquid-tight manner. At this time, the guide 35a functions to hold the inflow port 21 in place and keep it from moving.
[0072] 力プラ部 30の外筒 32の内周面 32aの開口側には肉薄部 38が形成されており、その 中に等間隔をお 、て流入ポート 21の凸条 26aに対応する数だけ (本実施形態では 2 個)凸条 39aが形成されている。この凸条 39aと段部形状のガイド部 39との間には凹溝 38aが形成されることになる。凹溝 38aは流入ポート 21の軸線に直交する方向で且つ 軸線に直交する同一平面内に形成される。凸条 39a或いは凹溝 38aの長さは力ブラ 部 30の凸条 26aの長さと等しいかやや長ぐまた凹溝 38aの軸線方向(図 4 (a)の D— D線方向)の幅は力プラ部 30の凸条 26aの幅と等しいかやや幅広に形成されている。 [0072] A thin portion 38 is formed on the opening side of the inner peripheral surface 32a of the outer cylinder 32 of the force plastic portion 30, and a number corresponding to the ridge 26a of the inflow port 21 with an equal interval therebetween. Only (two in the present embodiment) is formed with ridges 39a. A concave groove 38a is formed between the convex line 39a and the step-shaped guide part 39. The concave groove 38a is formed in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the inflow port 21 and in the same plane perpendicular to the axis. The length of the ridge 39a or the groove 38a is equal to or slightly longer than the length of the ridge 26a of the force bra part 30, and the width of the groove 38a in the axial direction (D-D direction in Fig. 4 (a)) is It is formed to be equal to or slightly wider than the width of the ridge 26a of the force plastic portion 30.
[0073] 凹溝 38aの一方の端部 37は閉鎖している。肉薄部 38は流入ポート 21の凸条 26aの 侵入部であり、少なくとも凸条 26aの長さ以上に亘つて開口端部 34に達している。図 6 に示すように、肉薄部 38の内周面を結ぶ仮想円の直径は凸条 26aの先端面を結ぶ 仮想円の直径と略等しくなるように設定されている。また肉薄部 38のガイド部 39は凸 条 26aを凹溝 38aに案内する案内面となっており、力ブラ部 30と流入ポート 21とを接合 する際には、力ブラ部 30を回動するに従って力ブラ部 30の開口端部 34側から肉薄部 38から侵入した流入ポート 21の凸条 26aがガイド部 39からなる案内面に沿って凹溝 38 aに誘導される。 [0073] One end 37 of the concave groove 38a is closed. The thin portion 38 is an intrusion portion of the ridge 26a of the inflow port 21, and reaches the open end 34 over at least the length of the ridge 26a. As shown in FIG. 6, the diameter of the imaginary circle connecting the inner peripheral surface of the thin portion 38 is set to be approximately equal to the diameter of the imaginary circle connecting the tip surface of the ridge 26a. Further, the guide portion 39 of the thin portion 38 serves as a guide surface for guiding the ridge 26a to the concave groove 38a. When the force bra portion 30 and the inflow port 21 are joined, the force bra portion 30 is rotated. Accordingly, the protrusion 26a of the inflow port 21 that has entered from the thin portion 38 from the open end 34 side of the force bra portion 30 is recessed along the guide surface formed by the guide portion 39. Induced to a.
[0074] 凹溝 38aに入り込んだ凸条 26aは力ブラ部 30の凸条 39aとガイド部 39に挟まれて軸 線方向には移動することが出来ない。尚、ガイド部 39は流入ポート 21の軸線に直交 する方向に、即ち、水平方向に所定距離延びており、そこで、軸線方向の垂直壁とし て終了するような形態であっても差し支えな 、。 [0074] The ridge 26a that has entered the groove 38a cannot be moved in the axial direction by being sandwiched between the ridge 39a of the force bra portion 30 and the guide portion 39. The guide portion 39 extends a predetermined distance in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the inflow port 21, that is, in the horizontal direction, and may be configured to end as a vertical wall in the axial direction.
[0075] 医療用具用継手 60の接合に際しては力ブラ部 30を流入ポート 21の上方力 被冠し て幾分医療用具 10に向力つて押し付ける。押し付けるにつれて力ブラ部 30の内筒 33 が流入ポート 21に挿入されて、内筒 33の先端シーリング部 33aと流入ポート 21の内周 面 27が密着状態になる。更に所定距離だけ力ブラ部 30を押し込むことにより力ブラ部 30の開口端部 34が流入ポート 21の凸条 26aの位置に達する。その位置で医療用具 用継手 60を回転して凸条 26aと力ブラ部 30の肉薄部 38とを対向させる。 [0075] At the time of joining the medical device joint 60, the force bra 30 is covered with the upward force of the inflow port 21 and pressed to the medical device 10 with some force. As the pressure is applied, the inner cylinder 33 of the force bra part 30 is inserted into the inflow port 21, and the tip sealing part 33a of the inner cylinder 33 and the inner peripheral surface 27 of the inflow port 21 are brought into close contact with each other. Further, by pushing the force bra portion 30 by a predetermined distance, the open end portion 34 of the force bra portion 30 reaches the position of the ridge 26a of the inflow port 21. At this position, the medical device joint 60 is rotated so that the ridge 26a and the thin portion 38 of the force bra portion 30 are opposed to each other.
[0076] その位置で更に医療用具用継手 60を押し込むと、流入ポート 21の凸条 26aは肉薄 部 38内に侵入する。押し込みと共に医療用具用継手 60を回動させることにより、凸条 26aは肉薄部 38のガイド部 39に案内されながら凹溝 38a内に滑り込むようにして入り込 む。凹溝 38aは閉鎖した端部 37を有するため凸条 26aの一端が該端部 37に当接した 時点で回動は停止し、医療用具用継手 60と流入ポート 21との接続は完成する。 [0076] When the medical device joint 60 is further pushed in at that position, the protrusion 26a of the inflow port 21 enters the thin portion 38. By rotating the joint 60 for a medical device together with the pushing, the ridge 26a is slid into the concave groove 38a while being guided by the guide portion 39 of the thin portion 38. Since the concave groove 38a has a closed end portion 37, the rotation stops when one end of the ridge 26a contacts the end portion 37, and the connection between the medical device joint 60 and the inflow port 21 is completed.
[0077] また医療用具用継手 60を分離する時は同様に力ブラ部 30の外筒 32の全周ローレツ ト 32bを摘んで所定角度だけ時計方向に回動して凸条 26aが凹溝 38aから肉薄部 38 に達すれば医療用具用継手 60を流入ポート 21の軸方向に引き上げるだけで分離作 業は終了する。全周ローレット 32bとは全周表面がギザギザ形状のことを意味し、主に 丸物の外周に滑り止めとして付けられるものであるが滑り止めの機能を有するならば 本実施形態の形状に限定されるものではな 、。 [0077] When separating the medical device joint 60, similarly, the entire circumference knurled 32b of the outer cylinder 32 of the force bra portion 30 is picked and rotated clockwise by a predetermined angle so that the ridge 26a becomes a groove 38a. When the thin part 38 is reached, the separation operation is completed simply by pulling up the medical device joint 60 in the axial direction of the inflow port 21. The entire circumferential knurl 32b means that the entire circumferential surface has a jagged shape and is mainly attached as a non-slip to the outer periphery of the round object, but if it has a non-slip function, it is limited to the shape of this embodiment. It's not something.
[0078] 従って、医療用具用継手 60の接合及び分離の操作は力ブラ部 30の外筒 32を摘ん だ状態で全てを行うことが出来、流入ポート 21に触れる虞は全くない。また医療用具 用継手 60は比較的硬質の材料で作られて 、るので、医療用具用継手 60の変形を伴 うことはなぐ接続作業は容易である。また、前述のように接続状態では流入ポート 21 の凸条 26aが力ブラ部 30の凹溝 38aに入り込んでいるので、医療用具用継手 60が流 入ポート 21の軸方向に自由移動することはない。従って、医療用具 10内の内圧が上 昇したとしても、或いは減圧になったとしても医療用具用継手 60が不用意に外れたり 、液密状態が破壊されることはない。 Therefore, the operation for joining and separating the joint 60 for a medical device can be performed in a state where the outer cylinder 32 of the force bra portion 30 is picked, and there is no possibility of touching the inflow port 21 at all. Further, since the medical device joint 60 is made of a relatively hard material, it is easy to connect the medical device joint 60 without causing deformation. In addition, as described above, since the ridge 26a of the inflow port 21 enters the concave groove 38a of the force bra portion 30 in the connected state, the medical device joint 60 does not move freely in the axial direction of the inflow port 21. Absent. Therefore, the internal pressure in the medical device 10 is increased. Even if the temperature rises or the pressure is reduced, the medical device fitting 60 is not inadvertently disconnected or the liquid-tight state is not destroyed.
[0079] 尚、上記の実施形態では、流入ポート 21を形成する円筒壁 23の外周面に凸条 26a 力^個形成されている力 2個以上形成されていても良い。その場合には、接合時に 生じる流入ポート 21と医療用具用継手 60との間に生じる負荷をより多くの箇所に均等 分配することが出来、通常の密着接合時はもちろんのこと、内圧が大きく上昇した際 にも、或いは減圧になった際にも安定した接続状態を維持することが出来、液密状 態の破壊が生じるのを一層効果的に阻止することが出来る。 In the above-described embodiment, two or more forces that are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical wall 23 forming the inflow port 21 may be formed. In that case, the load generated between the inflow port 21 and the medical device joint 60 generated at the time of joining can be evenly distributed to more places, and the internal pressure increases greatly as well as at the time of ordinary close joining. In this case, a stable connection state can be maintained even when the pressure is reduced or the liquid-tight state can be more effectively prevented.
[0080] 医療用チューブ端部 14に接続するコネクタ部 40の別の実施形態としては、該医療 用チューブ端部 14に接続可能な該コネクタ部 40の中空管の一端部の構造が IS059 4— 2規格に基づく構造を有する構成であっても良い。即ち、コネクタ部 40の中空管 大径部 41の末端構造が図 12に示したように、 IS0594— 2規格に基づく構造とするこ とが出来、このような構造では、中空管の末端に突起 92があり、該中空管の内壁面が テーパ面 91になっている。 [0080] As another embodiment of the connector portion 40 connected to the medical tube end portion 14, the structure of one end portion of the hollow tube of the connector portion 40 connectable to the medical tube end portion 14 is IS059 4 — A configuration having a structure based on two standards may be used. That is, as shown in FIG. 12, the end structure of the large-diameter portion 41 of the hollow tube of the connector portion 40 can be based on the IS0594-2 standard. In such a structure, the end of the hollow tube There are protrusions 92, and the inner wall surface of the hollow tube is a tapered surface 91.
[0081] 図 14に示すように、一端部の構造が IS0594— 2規格に基づく構造を有する構成と されたコネクタ部 40の中空管と結合する医療用チューブ端部 14の構造は、 IS0594 1規格に基づく構造となっており、このような構造はロックリング 81と中空管 82とを有 して構成され、ロックリング 81の内側には中空管末端の突起 92が螺合するネジ 81aが 形成されている。 [0081] As shown in FIG. 14, the structure of the medical tube end portion 14 coupled to the hollow tube of the connector portion 40 having a structure in which one end portion has a structure based on the IS0594-2 standard is IS0594 1 The structure is based on a standard, and such a structure is configured with a lock ring 81 and a hollow tube 82, and a screw 81a into which a projection 92 at the end of the hollow tube is screwed inside the lock ring 81. Is formed.
[0082] コネクタ部 40と医療用チューブ端部 14との接続に際しては、先ず、中空管 82の先端 力 Sコネクタ部 40の中空管大径部 41内に侵入し、更に押し込むと、コネクタ部 40の中空 管大径部 41の末端の突起 92は医療用チューブ端部 14のロックリング 81と中空管 82と の間の空間に侵入する。次に医療用チューブ端部 14を回動するとロックリング 81の内 側に形成されたネジ 81aに沿って中空管大径部 41の末端の突起 92は医療用チュー ブ端部 14の内部に侵入して行き、図 14 (b)に示す状態で接続が完了する。 [0082] When connecting the connector portion 40 and the medical tube end portion 14, first, the distal end force of the hollow tube 82 S enters the hollow tube large-diameter portion 41 of the connector portion 40 and further pushes into the connector. The protrusion 92 at the end of the large diameter portion 41 of the hollow tube 41 of the portion 40 enters the space between the lock ring 81 and the hollow tube 82 of the medical tube end portion 14. Next, when the medical tube end portion 14 is rotated, the projection 92 at the end of the hollow tube large-diameter portion 41 is formed inside the medical tube end portion 14 along the screw 81a formed on the inner side of the lock ring 81. The connection is completed in the state shown in Fig. 14 (b).
[0083] このような接続ではコネクタ部 40と医療用チューブ端部 14とはネジ止めされるので 簡単に外れることはなぐより安全である。体外循環治療では、通常、その治療に応じ て専用の装置と医療用器具を用いる力 コネクタ部のチューブ接続末端を IS0594 2にしておけば、本発明の医療用具用継手 60に接続可能な医療用器具の選択肢 は増えて、それに伴って治療法の選択肢も広がることが期待出来る。更に本発明に 係る医療用具用継手 60ではコネクタ部 40は自由に回動するので医療用チューブ端 部 14を回動しながら接続する本実施形態のような場合でも医療用チューブが捩れる ことはない。 [0083] In such a connection, since the connector 40 and the medical tube end 14 are screwed, it is safer to remove them easily. In extracorporeal circulation treatment, a special device and medical instrument are usually used according to the treatment. If it is set to 2, the choices of medical instruments that can be connected to the joint 60 for medical instruments of the present invention will increase, and it can be expected that the options of treatment methods will expand accordingly. Furthermore, in the medical device joint 60 according to the present invention, since the connector portion 40 freely rotates, the medical tube can be twisted even in the case of this embodiment in which the medical tube end portion 14 is connected while rotating. Absent.
[0084] 本発明に係る医療用具用継手 60の使用形態としては、医療用器具と、医療用具 10 を接続するための継手として継手単独で滅菌包装して使用しても良いし、医療用具 用継手 60を医療用器具に接続した状態で医療用器具と一体的に滅菌包装して使用 しても良い。即ち、医療用具用継手 60を医療用チューブ端部 14と一体的に構成され た医療用器具とすることが出来る。また、医療用具用継手 70の力ブラ部 30を除く部分 が医療用チューブ端部 14と一体的に構成された医療用器具とすることも出来る。 [0084] The medical device joint 60 according to the present invention may be used as a joint for connecting a medical device and the medical device 10 by sterilizing and wrapping the joint alone, or for a medical device. The joint 60 may be sterilized and packaged integrally with the medical device with the joint 60 connected to the medical device. That is, the medical instrument joint 60 can be a medical instrument configured integrally with the medical tube end 14. In addition, a medical instrument in which a portion excluding the force bra portion 30 of the medical device joint 70 is configured integrally with the medical tube end portion 14 may be used.
[0085] また医療用具用継手 60の一部であるコネクタ部 40とロック部 50のみを医療用器具に 接続した状態で医療用器具と一体的にして滅菌包装して使用しても良い。即ち、医 療用具用継手 60に設けられたコネクタ部 40とロック部 50とが医療用チューブ端部 14と 一体的に構成された医療用器具とすることが出来る。 [0085] Alternatively, only the connector part 40 and the lock part 50, which are a part of the medical device joint 60, may be used by being sterilized and packaged integrally with the medical device in a state where the medical device is connected. In other words, the medical device in which the connector portion 40 and the lock portion 50 provided on the medical device joint 60 are integrally formed with the medical tube end portion 14 can be obtained.
[0086] ここで、医療用器具とは、血液や血漿に代表される体液の体外循環治療に用いら れる医療用具である人工腎臓、血液濾過透析器、血液濾過器、血漿成分分離器、 血漿分離器等を使用する際に必要となる血液回路を指す。該血液回路には、動脈ラ イン、静脈ライン、濾過ライン、透析液ライン、補液ライン等があるが、本発明に係る医 療用具用継手と一体にして使用するのは、主に濾過ライン、透析液ライン、補液ライ ンである。濾過ラインとは医療用具の液体ポートから体液中の余分な水分、成分を廃 液するためのチューブであり、透析液ラインとは透析液を透析液の入った容器から液 体ポートに注入するためのチューブであって、通常、ポリ塩化ビュルチューブを使用 する。また、補液ラインとは、必要な成分、水分を含んだ補液を注入するためのチュ ーブである。 [0086] Here, the medical device refers to an artificial kidney, a blood filtration dialyzer, a blood filter, a plasma component separator, plasma, which are medical devices used for extracorporeal circulation treatment of body fluids typified by blood and plasma. It refers to the blood circuit required when using a separator or the like. The blood circuit includes an arterial line, a venous line, a filtration line, a dialysate line, a replacement fluid line, and the like. However, the blood circuit is mainly used together with the medical device joint according to the present invention. Dialysate line and replacement fluid line. The filtration line is a tube for draining excess water and components in body fluids from the fluid port of medical devices, and the dialysate line is for injecting dialysate from a container containing dialysate into the fluid port. Usually, polychlorinated bull tubes are used. The replacement fluid line is a tube for injecting a replacement fluid containing necessary components and water.
[0087] 本発明に係る別の態様としては、図 15及び図 16に示したような、力ブラ部 30とコネク タ部 40及び 100と力 成り、前述したロック部 50を有さない医療用具用継手 70及び 210 がある。該医療用具用継手 70及び 210の場合、力ブラ部 30はロック部 50と接続する機 能を有する必要はないので、図 2のような力プラ部 30外周のネジ 31は有っても無くて もどちらでも良 、。ロック部 50を有する医療用具用継手 60及び 200ではコネクタ部 40 及び 100の円周状突起 43bは無くても良力つた力 ロック部 50を有さない医療用具用 継手 70及び 210では円周状突起 43bは必須である。以上の点を除けば、医療用具用 継手 60、 200と医療用具用継手 70及び 210のコネクタ部 40及び 100と力プラ部 30の構 造は同一であって良い。医療用具用継手 70及び 210の特徴は部品点数が 2点しかな V、ことで、医療用具用継手 60及び 200よりも更に構造が簡単で使 、捨てに適して 、る [0087] As another aspect according to the present invention, as shown in Figs. 15 and 16, a medical device which is composed of a force bra portion 30 and connector portions 40 and 100 and does not have the lock portion 50 described above. There are joints 70 and 210. In the case of the medical device joints 70 and 210, the force bra part 30 is connected to the lock part 50. It is not necessary to have a function, so the screw 31 on the outer periphery of the force plastic part 30 as shown in Fig. 2 may or may not be present. In the joints 60 and 200 for the medical device having the lock part 50, a force that has a good force even if the circumferential protrusions 43b of the connector part 40 and 100 are not present.
