Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medicine packaging, and in particular to a portable and simple hand-held infusion bag leak detector. Background Art

[0002] Infusion, or large-volume injection, refers to a large-dose injection that is administered intravenously, with a single dose of more than 100 ml. It is a branch of injections and is usually packaged in glass or plastic infusion bottles or bags.

[0003] Infusion bags are divided into single-chamber, double-chamber or multi-chamber structures. Infusion bags are usually made of two layers of plastic film through packaging. Therefore, infusion bags containing liquid medicine will inevitably encounter problems such as bumps during storage or transportation or during drug preparation, causing the infusion bags to be damaged. Some infusion bags also have poor packaging quality, which causes the liquid medicine in the infusion bag to leak. However, the leakage holes or gaps are relatively small and due to the presence of liquid in the infusion bag, it is not easy to find the leakage of the infusion bag, and external pollutants will enter the infusion bag through the broken leaks to cause contamination of the infusion. During the infusion treatment of patients, the leakage of the infusion bag causes the liquid medicine to deteriorate or the amount of medicine to decrease, affecting the healing effect on the patient, and seriously affecting the patient's safety. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an instrument that is convenient for detecting leakage of infusion bags. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a portable and simple hand-held infusion bag leak detector to solve the above problems. The present invention is provided with two mutually hinged shells, an elastomer is arranged in the shell, and a PH test paper is laid on the inner side of the elastomer. Since different medicines have different PH values, the infusion bag is clamped by the shell for wiping, and the color change state of the PH test paper can be observed to determine whether the infusion bag is leaking or the medicine of other infusion bags has leaked onto the infusion bag. When the medicine leaks out, the medicine reacts with the PH test paper to dye (commonly used: 0.9% sodium chloride PH4.5-7.0, 5% glucose PH3.2-6.5, glucose sodium chloride PH3.5-5.5, sodium lactate Ringer PH6.0-7.5). The leakage of the configured infusion bag is checked through simple operation. The device is small in size, easy to operate, and the detection results are clear and easy to distinguish.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0031] Reference Figure 1-6 As shown, the present invention provides a portable and simple hand-held infusion bag leak detector, comprising symmetrically arranged test components, one end of which is hinged to each other;

[0032] The test assembly includes a first shell 1 and a second shell 2 fixedly connected to one side of the first shell 1. The opposite side of the two second shells 2 is an open structure. An elastomer 4 is detachably connected to the inner side of the second shell 2. A reeling mechanism is provided on the top of one end of the second shell 2 away from the first shell 1. A reeling mechanism is provided in the first shell 1. The reeling mechanism is connected to one end of a PH test paper 5. The other end of the PH test paper 5 is connected to the reeling mechanism. The PH test paper 5 bypasses the elastomer 4 and contacts the lower end surface of the elastomer 4. The first shell 1 located above is hinged to the first shell 1 located below, and the hinge points of the two first shells 1 are far away from the second shell 2.

[0033] When checking whether the infusion bag is leaking, the two second shells 2 of the leak detector are buckled together, the PH test paper 5 and the infusion bag are attached, the two second shells 2 are firmly held by hand, the PH test paper 5 is pressed against the edge of the infusion bag, the infusion bag is squeezed, the second shell 2 is opened and the PH test paper 5 is checked for color change, and the color is confirmed to be the same as the corresponding PH value of the liquid medicine, so as to determine whether the infusion bag is leaking;

[0034] Open the second housing 2 and flatten it, wipe and press the surface of the infusion bag with a single-sided pH test paper 5 to check for surface leakage;

[0035] By arranging an unwinding mechanism at the end of the second shell 2 and arranging a rewinding mechanism in the first shell 1, it is possible to detect multiple infusion bags, avoid frequent replacement of the PH test paper 5, and enhance the convenience of use of the leak detector.

[0036] A further optimized solution is provided, the winding mechanism includes a second rotating shaft 6 rotatably connected to the first shell 1, a paper jam groove 601 is provided on the side wall of the second rotating shaft 6, a one-way turntable 602 is fixedly connected to one end of the second rotating shaft 6, a hollow gear 604 is rotatably sleeved on the outer side of the one-way turntable 602, a sliding one-way disk 603 is slidably connected in the hollow gear 604, one end of the sliding one-way disk 603 is in conflict with the one-way turntable 602, a second spring 605 is fixedly connected between the other end of the sliding one-way disk 603 and the hollow gear 604, the sliding one-way disk 603 and the one-way turntable 602 have opposite helical teeth along the circumferential direction on the opposing surfaces thereof, the hollow gear 604 is matched with the sliding one-way disk 603 through a spline, the hollow gear 604 is meshed with a driving part, and a one-way damper is fixedly connected between the rotating shaft of the hollow gear 604 and the first shell 1.

[0037] A further optimized solution is that the driving part includes a sliding rack 8 slidably connected to the first shell 1, the sliding direction of the sliding rack 8 is perpendicular to the second rotating shaft 6, a gap is set between the lower end of the sliding rack 8 located above and the top of the hollow gear 604 located below, and a gap is set between the upper end of the sliding rack 8 located below and the bottom of the hollow gear 604 located above.

[0038] When the PH test paper 5 changes color, the two second shells 2 are pressed hard, thereby driving the two first shells 1 to rotate relative to each other, and the first shell 1 drives the sliding rack 8 to rotate toward the relative hollow gear 604, and the hollow gear 604 drives the sliding one-way disk 603 to rotate, and the sliding one-way disk 603 drives the one-way turntable 602 to rotate, so that the second rotating shaft 6 rotates, and one end of the PH test paper 5 is nested in the paper jam slot 601 to realize the winding of the PH test paper 5. It is provided with helical teeth so that the second rotating shaft 6 can only rotate in the winding direction. The one-way damper arranged on the rotating shaft of the hollow gear 604 can prevent the PH test paper 5 from loosening when the second shell 2 is pressed against the infusion bag. At the same time, since a gap is reserved between the sliding rack 8 and the hollow gear 604, the second rotating shaft 6 will not be driven to rotate when the second shell 2 is pressed against the infusion bag, and normal detection will not be affected.

A cross bar 102 is laterally fixedly connected to the inner side of the bottom of the first shell 1, and a plurality of protrusions are fixedly connected above the cross bar 102. The vertical rod 103 corresponds to the position of the protrusions. The second rotating shaft 6 and the hollow gear 604 are rotatably connected between the vertical rod 103 and the protrusions, and the sliding direction of the sliding rack 8 is perpendicular to the cross bar 102.
