DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0018] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments.

[0019] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the invention as claimed, but rather merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0020] like Figure 1-8 As shown, a real-time wear test device for a mitral valve / tricuspid valve of a cardiovascular implant comprises a plurality of test mechanisms arranged side by side, wherein the test mechanisms comprise a first compliance adjustment module 1, a second compliance adjustment module 2, a liquid flow conduit 3 and a drive module 4, a valve carrier module 5 and a return pipe 6 are connected between the second compliance adjustment module 2 and the first compliance adjustment module 1; one end of the liquid flow conduit 3 is communicated with the first compliance adjustment module 1; the drive module 4 is connected to the other end of the liquid flow conduit 3 for providing power for the test liquid in the test mechanism; the test liquid flows through the liquid flow conduit 3, the first compliance adjustment module 1, the return pipe 6, the second compliance adjustment module 2 and the valve carrier module 5 in sequence, and flows back to the first compliance adjustment module 1 and the liquid flow conduit 3 to perform a cyclic reciprocating motion.
[0021] Each test mechanism forms a test channel for testing a test valve. In this embodiment, three test mechanisms are arranged side by side, allowing simultaneous testing of three test valves. The number of test mechanisms is not limited to the three used in this embodiment; the number can be adjusted as needed.
[0022] The first compliance adjustment module 1 , the return pipe 6 , the second compliance adjustment module 2 and the valve carrier module 5 form a circulating flow channel, and the driving module 4 provides power to the test liquid in the circulating flow channel through the liquid flow pipe 3 .
[0023] In order to form a circulatory flow channel, the first compliance adjustment module 1 includes a first adjustment box 1 - 1 which is in communication with the valve carrier module 5 , the return tube 6 and the interior of the liquid flow pipe 3 respectively.
[0024] The first regulating box 1-1 is a structure with openings at the top and bottom, the top of which is closed by a valve block 1-2, and the bottom of which is closed by a base cover 1-3.
[0025] The first adjustment box 1-1 is provided with a first valve carrier interface 1-4 for connecting the valve carrier module 5 and a first return tube interface 1-5 for connecting the return tube 6 on the side facing the second compliance adjustment module 2. The first return tube interface 1-5 and the first valve carrier interface 1-4 are located on the same side of the first adjustment box 1-1, and the first return tube interface 1-5 is located above the first valve carrier interface 1-4.
[0026] During the test, the test liquid flows from the first regulating box 1-1 into the return pipe 6, then enters the second compliance regulating module 2, and finally flows back to the first regulating box 1-1 through the valve carrier module 5. In order to control the flow direction of the test liquid in the above process, a one-way valve 1-6 is installed in the inner cavity of the first regulating box 1-1 for connecting the valve carrier module 5 and the return pipe 6.
[0027] The valve carrier module 5 is located below the return pipe 6, and the one-way valve 1-6 is a valve body that only allows the test liquid to flow from bottom to top, thereby being able to control the flow direction of the test liquid to the first regulating box 1-1 - return pipe 6 - second compliance regulating module 2 - valve carrier module 5 - first regulating box 1-1.
[0028] A first rectifying valve plate 1 - 12 is provided on the lower side of the one-way valve 1 - 6 .
[0029] Among them, the valve body block 1-2 at the top of the first regulating box 1-1 extends into the inner cavity of the first regulating box 1-1 and extends to the lower side of the first reflux pipe interface 1-5, and a cavity connected to the inner cavity of the first regulating box 1-1 is provided in the valve body block 1-2 to ensure that the test liquid smoothly enters the reflux pipe 6. The first rectifier valve plate 1-12 is fixed to the bottom of the valve body block 1-2 by means of screws and other connecting parts, and the one-way valve 1-6 is installed on the upper side of the first rectifier valve plate 1-12. In this way, when the valve body block 1-2 is disassembled, the first rectifier valve plate 1-12 and the one-way valve 1-6 can be inspected and replaced, and the operation is more convenient.
[0030] The arrangement of the first rectifying valve plate 1-12 can improve the flow velocity distribution of the test liquid, reduce turbulence and vortex, and lower flow resistance.
[0031] When the test liquid is injected into the test mechanism, in order to facilitate the discharge of gas in the first regulating box 1-1, a first exhaust switch 1-7 is provided on the top of the first regulating box 1-1.
[0032] The first exhaust switch 1-7 is installed on the valve body block 1-2.
[0033] In order to facilitate the discharge of the test liquid after the test is completed, a drain port 1-8 is provided at the bottom of the first regulating box 1-1.
[0034] The drain port 1-8 is provided at the bottom of the base cover plate 1-3.
[0035] In order to facilitate observation of the test status of the test valve in the valve carrier module 5 during the test, a first observation window 1 - 9 corresponding to the valve carrier module 5 is provided on the side of the first adjustment box 1 - 1 facing away from the valve carrier module 5 .
[0036] In order to observe the corresponding test conditions through the above-mentioned first observation window 1-9, the test device also includes a high-speed camera mechanism 7 cooperated with the first observation window 1-9, the high-speed camera mechanism 7 includes a light source fixing block 7-1 assembled outside the first observation window 1-9, a light source 7-2 installed on the periphery of the light source fixing block 7-1, and a camera 7-3 facing the outside of the light source fixing block 7-1, and the camera 7-3 is fixed on the camera bracket 7-4 at the outer end of the light source fixing block 7-1.
[0037] The high-speed camera mechanism 7 is a movable device, which can be switched on various test mechanisms of the test device and placed on the test mechanism that needs to be observed as needed.
[0038] Among them, the camera 7-3 can adopt a high frame rate visual industrial camera 7-3, supplemented by a light source 7-2, software and other control systems. The lens passes through the first observation window 1-9 to record and observe the opening and closing of the test valve in real time, and is connected to the computer through a data communication line to analyze, record and save the collected data.
[0039] In order to facilitate observation of the flow of the test liquid in the reflux pipe 6 during the test, a second observation window 1 - 10 corresponding to the reflux pipe 6 is provided on the side of the first regulating box 1 - 1 facing away from the reflux pipe 6 .
[0040] With respect to the situation in the reflux pipe 6 , the operator can directly visually observe the situation through the second observation window 1 - 10 without the aid of the camera 7 - 3 or the like.
[0041] In order to form a circulatory flow channel, the second compliance adjustment module 2 includes a second adjustment box 2 - 1 which is in communication with the valve carrier module 5 and the return tube 6 respectively.
[0042] Among them, the second regulating box 2-1 is provided with a second return pipe interface 2-2 and a second valve carrier interface 2-3 in sequence from top to bottom on the side facing the first regulating box 1-1 to facilitate connecting the return pipe 6 and the valve carrier module 5.
[0043] In order to receive and store the energy generated by the driving module 4 pushing the liquid to flow, a damping adjustment component is provided at the bottom of the second adjustment box 2-1.
[0044] Specifically, the damping adjustment assembly includes an energy cavity 2-4 arranged at the bottom of the second adjustment box 2-1, a diaphragm 2-5 arranged between the second adjustment box 2-1 and the energy cavity 2-4, and a spring 2-6 arranged below the diaphragm 2-5.
[0045] Among them, the bottom of the second adjustment box 2-1 is designed to be open, the energy cavity 2-4 is installed at the bottom of the second adjustment box 2-1 by bolts, the diaphragm 2-5 is fixed between the second adjustment box 2-1 and the energy cavity 2-4 by the diaphragm clamp 2-7, and the spring 2-6 is installed in the energy cavity 2-4 below the diaphragm 2-5 and is positioned by the spring base 2-8.
[0046] After the driving module 4 pushes the test liquid into the second regulating box 2-1, the damping adjustment component can receive the energy generated by pushing the test liquid to flow, causing its diaphragm 2-5 to deform downward while compressing the spring 2-6 to form an energy storage component. When the driving module 4 returns, the damping adjustment component releases energy and pushes the test liquid through the test valve.
[0047] Preferably, a damping regulating valve 2-9 is threadedly installed on the bottom of the energy cavity 2-4, and two air holes are provided on the end face thereof, while four air holes are also provided on the end face of the spring base 2-8. The positions of the two air holes are changed by rotating the damping regulating valve 2-9 to adjust the flux between the two air holes and the air holes on the end face of the spring base 2-8, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the ability of the energy cavity 2-4 to receive the buffering test liquid.
[0048] In order to form an energy storage component on the top of the second regulating box 2-1, a liquid storage chamber 2-10 communicating with the interior of the second regulating box 2-1 is provided on the top of the second regulating box 2-1, and a second exhaust switch 2-11 is provided on the liquid storage chamber 2-10.
[0049] Among them, the top of the second regulating box 2-1 is also designed to be open. When the test liquid passes through the one-way valve 1-6 and flows through the reflux pipe 6 into the second regulating box 2-1, the excess liquid will cause the liquid level in the liquid storage chamber 2-10 to rise, thereby making it a short-term energy storage component.
[0050] When the test liquid is injected into the test mechanism before the test begins, in order to conveniently exhaust the air in the second regulating box 2-1, a second exhaust switch 2-11 is installed on the top of the liquid storage chamber 2-10.

The throttle valve 2-12 is arranged on the side of the first regulating box 1-1, and its regulating end extends into the inner cavity of the reduced diameter section.
[0054] The second rectifying valve plate 2-13 serves the same function as the first rectifying valve plate 1-12, namely, to improve the flow velocity distribution of the test liquid, reduce turbulence and vortices, and lower flow resistance. The bottom of the reduced diameter section forms an end surface, and the second rectifying valve plate 2-13 is mounted to this end surface using screws or other fasteners.

A receiving cavity 5-4 is provided on opposite sides of the outflow fixture 5-1 and the inflow fixture 5-2. The valve carrier 5-3 is positioned within this receiving cavity 5-4, with sealing rings interposed between the valve carrier 5-3 and both the inflow fixture 5-2 and the outflow fixture 5-1. The cardiovascular implant, i.e., the test valve, is placed within the valve carrier 5-3.

[0065] The two-stage telescopic design of the liquid flow conduit 3 can not only adjust the length of the entire liquid flow conduit 3 as needed, but also facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the entire test mechanism and the replacement of the test valve.
[0066] Preferably, a sealing ring is provided on the outer wall of the second flow duct 3 - 2 to ensure the sealing between the first flow duct 3 - 1 and the second flow duct 3 - 2 .
[0067] In order to provide power to the test liquid, the driving module 4 includes a driving member, a sleeve 4-2 installed at the power output end of the driving member, and a push member 4-3 located in the sleeve 4-2 and connected to the power output rod of the driving member.

The gas in the connecting sleeve 4-5 enters the exhaust cavity 11-2 through the exhaust hole 4-6 and the air pipe, and is then discharged from the test mechanism through the third exhaust switch 11-4.
[0082] Among them, the exhaust cavity 11-2 and the connecting sleeve 4-5 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, which not only facilitates the connection of the air pipe, but also improves the efficiency of gas exhaust.
[0083] During testing, the voice coil motor 4-1 performs a reciprocating motion at the human pulse frequency of 1.2 Hz or the test frequency of 3.3 Hz. Its power output rod pushes the pusher 4-3 to reciprocate along the inner wall of the sleeve 4-2, simulating the pulsating cycle of the human heart. When the voice coil motor 4-1 pushes the liquid, the test liquid enters the valve carrier module 5 and the return pipe 6 through the first regulating housing 1-1. Because the test valve is closed, the test liquid can only enter the first regulating housing 1-1 through the return pipe 6, where it stores energy in the damping adjustment assembly and the liquid reservoir 2-10. During the return stroke, the energy within the damping adjustment assembly and the liquid reservoir 2-10 is released. Due to the presence of the one-way valve 1-6, the test liquid can only flow back from the valve carrier module 5, where the test valve is located, into the first regulating housing 1-1 and the liquid flow pipe 3. During this process, the test valve opens. In this way, the voice coil motor 4-1 performs reciprocating motion to realize the circulation of the test liquid, and the test valve performs clinical performance of opening and closing at a specified frequency.
[0084] The test device described in the present invention is capable of creating physiological conditions that are highly close to those required by the human mitral valve / tricuspid valve, stably and reliably providing the dynamic opening and closing of the artificial heart valve mitral valve / tricuspid valve at a real-time frequency (human pulse frequency), and detecting various movement parameters such as movement frequency, waveform, pressure, temperature, etc. throughout the process to accurately record the clinical performance of the test valve in an environment close to the human body, providing a real and reliable basis for evaluating the service life of the mitral valve / tricuspid valve.
[0085] With the above-described preferred embodiments of the present invention as a guide, and with reference to the above description, relevant personnel are fully capable of making various changes and modifications without departing from the technical scope of this invention. The technical scope of this invention is not limited to the contents of the specification and must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
