Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical devices, more particularly, to a hollow fiber membrane filament testing unit and testing device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Hollow fiber membranes are generally a combination of hollow tubular bodies, which are generally made into a bundle containing many membrane filaments during use, and then one end of the bundle is closed to form a closed end, and the other end is bonded together using epoxy resin, and the membrane filaments form an open end. The raw material liquid enters the hollow lumen of each membrane filament from the open end under the action of static pressure difference, and is filtered through the side wall of each membrane filament.

[0003] The production technology of hollow fiber membranes is becoming mature, and the structure is simple. Compared with flat membranes or spiral membranes, the specific surface area of hollow fiber membranes is large, the acting area is large, and no support layer is needed. Hollow fiber membranes are widely used in water treatment filters, medical artificial lungs, artificial kidneys and other fields. In the medical field, hollow fiber membranes are often used in membrane oxygenators, which are devices for extracorporeal oxygenation and carbon dioxide removal of blood of critically ill patients in the respiratory system. In the membrane oxygenator, the hollow fiber membrane lumen passes gas, and the outside passes blood. The principle is that when there is a partial pressure gradient of any gas component on both sides of the semi-permeable membrane, the corresponding gas molecules will diffuse from the side with a higher partial pressure to the side with a lower partial pressure, thereby achieving oxygenation and CO2 removal of human blood, adjusting O2 and CO2 in the blood. It can be seen that the hollow fiber membrane is the core component of the membrane oxygenator, and its performance has a great influence on the use of the membrane oxygenator.

[0004] In actual application, there is a high requirement for the mechanical strength of hollow fiber membranes, and the burst resistance is one of the effective parameters for characterizing the mechanical properties. The burst resistance includes the external burst pressure and the internal burst pressure. The internal burst resistance refers to the maximum pressure of the gas allowed to pass through the inside of the hollow fiber membrane filament under a certain blood pressure while ensuring that the membrane is not damaged. The external burst resistance refers to the maximum external blood pressure that the hollow fiber membrane filament structure can withstand without changing or damaging its structure. The existing hollow fiber membrane filament performance testing device mainly targets the breaking tensile strength, gas flux and pore size distribution, and there are still few testing techniques for its burst force. Even if there is a burst force testing device for the membrane oxygenator, it is used to test the entire terminal oxygenator product, and if the test is not qualified, the cost of rework and repair is high. Therefore, it is particularly important to study a device that can test the burst resistance of hollow fiber membranes during production and research and development, which is particularly important for assisting the promotion of membrane filament technology research and reducing the rework cost of related assembled products. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application aims to overcome at least one of the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, and provide a hollow fiber membrane filament testing unit and testing device with simple structure, and realize the anti-burst force testing in the membrane filament production and research and development stage.

[0006] One object of the present application is to provide a hollow fiber membrane filament testing unit, comprising a liquid cavity and a membrane filament arranged in the liquid cavity, wherein the liquid cavity is provided with a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet, and the two ends of the liquid cavity are provided with a sealing surface, and the two ends of the membrane filament penetrate through the sealing surface to form a gas outlet and a gas inlet respectively.

[0007] In the technical solution, the liquid cavity is used to contain the liquid for testing; the membrane filament is a hollow fiber membrane filament to be tested, which is arranged in the same direction as the radial direction of the liquid cavity; the liquid inlet provides a channel for the liquid to enter the liquid cavity; the liquid outlet is an opening communicating with the liquid inlet, and is used to provide a channel for the liquid to flow out of the liquid cavity; the sealing surface is used to seal the two ends of the liquid cavity; the gas outlet provides an outlet for the gas to flow out of the membrane filament, and the gas inlet provides an inlet for the gas to flow into the membrane filament. The two ends of the membrane filament can be flush with the sealing surface or penetrate through the sealing surface.

[0008] In the technical solution, the membrane filament in the liquid cavity is the part to be tested, and the two ends of the membrane filament are fixed by the sealing surfaces at the two ends of the liquid cavity, so that the part to be tested of the membrane filament is unfolded, and the testing is performed in the state of use in the terminal product. In use, the testing unit is vertically connected to the testing device to test the anti-burst force, so that the burst force performance of the membrane filament can be tested in the production of the membrane filament before the manufacture of the terminal product related to the membrane filament, and the economic loss caused by the rework of the entire product due to unqualified products is avoided. In addition, the testing unit can facilitate the researchers to test the performance of the membrane filament in the research and development, which is helpful for the technical research and development. Meanwhile, the testing unit has simple structure and strong applicability, and can be used in different membrane filament performance testing devices.

[0009] Further, the liquid cavity is formed by connecting the pipeline, the gas inlet pipeline, the gas outlet pipeline, the liquid inlet three-way joint and the liquid outlet three-way joint, the gas inlet pipeline and the connecting pipeline are connected through the liquid inlet three-way joint, the other opening of the liquid inlet three-way joint is the liquid inlet, the gas outlet pipeline and the connecting pipeline are connected through the liquid outlet three-way joint, the other opening of the liquid outlet three-way joint is the liquid outlet, the sealing surface is arranged at the end of the gas inlet pipeline and the gas outlet pipeline away from the connecting pipeline, and the membrane filament penetrates through the inside of the gas inlet pipeline, the gas outlet pipeline, the liquid inlet three-way joint and the liquid outlet three-way joint in sequence.

[0010] In the technical solution, the air inlet pipeline and the air outlet pipeline are pipelines with one end being a blocking surface and the other end being an opening, one end of the membrane wire penetrating through the blocking surface of the air inlet pipeline is an air inlet, and one end of the membrane wire penetrating through the blocking surface of the air outlet pipeline is an air outlet; the connecting pipeline is a pipeline with openings at both ends and communicating with the liquid inlet three-way joint and the liquid outlet three-way joint respectively.

[0011] Since the membrane wire burst is easily affected, especially in the stage of being stretched near the burst critical point, and the test unit is easily shaken when the pressure rises in the test, the membrane wire burst is affected by additional factors, and the test accuracy is reduced; especially in the process of anti-explosion pressure test, the pressure in the liquid cavity gradually rises, if the liquid cavity is designed in one piece, the impact force of the liquid entering the liquid cavity at the liquid inlet will cause the whole test unit to shake; therefore, the liquid cavity is designed as a segmented pipeline connection in the present solution, when the liquid enters the liquid cavity and impacts the liquid inlet, the liquid outlet three-way joint is not easily shaken with the liquid inlet three-way joint, thereby maintaining the stability of the whole test unit, avoiding the acceleration of the membrane wire burst due to the shaking of the test unit, thus improving the accuracy of the test unit in testing the burst pressure of the membrane wire, and providing reliable data for the production, detection and research and development of hollow fiber membranes.

[0012] Further, the liquid inlet three-way joint and the liquid outlet three-way joint are both in the shape of a square, the air inlet pipeline and the connecting pipeline are coaxially connected through the liquid inlet three-way joint, and the air outlet pipeline and the connecting pipeline are coaxially connected through the liquid outlet three-way joint.

[0013] In the technical solution, the vertical joint of the liquid inlet three-way joint and the liquid outlet three-way joint is the part penetrated by the membrane wire, and the horizontal joint part serves as the liquid inlet or the liquid outlet, and the air inlet pipeline, the connecting pipeline and the air outlet pipeline have the same central axis; in this way, the membrane wire in the pipeline can be prevented from being bent to affect the flow of gas, and the straight line design inside also facilitates the control of liquid pressure.

[0014] Further, the bending part of the liquid inlet three-way joint and the liquid outlet three-way joint is provided with a reinforcing mechanism.

[0015] In the technical solution, the reinforcing mechanism is used to increase the stability of the three-way joint, limit the shaking of the three-way joint during the pressurization of liquid or gas in the test, and further improve the accuracy of the test.

[0016] Further, the liquid inlet three-way joint and the liquid outlet three-way joint each include a liquid passing part and three opening parts, the liquid passing part is T-shaped, the liquid passing part is connected with the three opening parts, one end of the air inlet pipeline extends into the opening part and communicates with the liquid inlet three-way joint, one end of the air outlet pipeline extends into the opening part and communicates with the liquid outlet three-way joint, and the cross-sectional area of the liquid passing part is smaller than that of the opening part.

[0017] In the technical solution, the opening part is the part of the pipeline extending into the tee joint, and the liquid passing part is the part of the inner wall of the tee joint directly contacting with the liquid; the cross-sectional area of the liquid passing part is smaller than that of the opening part, so that a space is left in the opening part for placing the pipeline, so that the inner wall of the pipeline is flush with the inner wall of the liquid passing part, or the inner wall of the pipeline is outward relative to the inner wall of the liquid passing part, reducing the impact force on the connection between the pipeline and the tee joint when the liquid flows, making the air inlet pipeline, the air outlet pipeline and the connecting pipeline more stable in connection with the tee joint, and increasing the service life of the test unit.

[0018] Further, the part of the air inlet pipeline and the air outlet pipeline extending into the opening part accounts for 1 / 4-1 / 2 of the air inlet pipeline and the air outlet pipeline respectively.

[0019] In the technical solution, the appropriate length of the part of the air inlet pipeline and the air outlet pipeline extending into the opening part is designed, which is beneficial to saving materials and reducing production costs under the condition of stable connection of the pipeline with the tee joint.

[0020] Further, the end face of the membrane filament is flush with the plugging face.

[0021] In the technical solution, the plane of the two ends of the membrane filament is flush with the plugging face, so that the two ends can be fixed by the plugging face and form the air outlet and the air inlet at the same time, providing a passage for the gas to enter and flow out of the liquid cavity.

[0022] Another object of the application is to provide a hollow fiber membrane anti-burst pressure test device, which comprises a gas storage container, a liquid storage container, a gas supply pipeline connected to the gas storage container, a liquid outlet pipe and a liquid return pipe connected to the liquid storage container, and the hollow fiber membrane filament test unit described above, the gas storage container is communicated with the air inlet through the gas supply pipeline; the air outlet is connected with an exhaust pipe, and the exhaust pipe is provided with a gas flow detection device; the liquid storage container is communicated with the liquid outlet through the liquid outlet pipe and the liquid inlet, and the liquid outlet pipe is provided with a liquid outlet pressure gauge and a liquid pressure adjusting device, and the liquid storage container is communicated with the liquid outlet through the liquid return pipe and the liquid inlet.

To better illustrate the following embodiments, some parts in the drawings may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced, and do not represent the actual product dimensions; it is understandable to those skilled in the art that some well-known structures and their descriptions may be omitted in the drawings.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a hollow fiber membrane filament testing unit 100, including a liquid chamber 110 and a membrane filament 120 disposed within the liquid chamber 110. The liquid chamber 110 is provided with a liquid inlet 112 and a liquid outlet 111. Both ends of the liquid chamber 110 are provided with sealing surfaces 113, for example, the sealing surfaces 113 can be formed by sealing both ends of the liquid chamber with adhesive. Both ends of the membrane filament 120 penetrate the sealing surfaces 113 to form an air outlet 122 and an air inlet 121, respectively, and the ends of the membrane filament 120 are flush with the sealing surfaces 113. Specifically, the hollow fiber membrane filament testing unit 100 is a vertical design, and the air inlet 121 is [not specified]. The membrane filament 120 is the hollow fiber membrane filament 120 to be tested.

[0040] The liquid cavity 110 is formed by the connecting pipe 115, the air inlet pipe 114, the air outlet pipe 116, the liquid inlet tee joint 117 and the liquid outlet tee joint 118. The air inlet pipe 114 and the connecting pipe 115 are communicated through the liquid inlet tee joint 117, and the other opening of the liquid inlet tee joint 117 is the liquid inlet 112. The air outlet pipe 116 and the connecting pipe 115 are communicated through the liquid outlet tee joint 118, and the other opening of the liquid outlet tee joint 118 is the liquid outlet 111. The sealing surface 113 is arranged at the end of the air inlet pipe 114 and the air outlet pipe 116 away from the connecting pipe 115. The membrane fiber 120 penetrates the inside of the air inlet pipe 114, the liquid inlet tee joint 117, the connecting pipe 115, the liquid outlet tee joint 118 and the air outlet pipe 116 in sequence.

[0041] Specifically, the hollow fiber membrane fiber test unit 100 is designed in a vertical manner. The air inlet 121 is the lower end of the membrane fiber 120, and the air outlet 122 is the upper end of the membrane fiber 120. The liquid inlet tee joint 117 is arranged below the liquid outlet tee joint 118.

[0042] The liquid inlet tee joint 117 and the liquid outlet tee joint 118 are both in the shape of “□”. The air inlet pipe 114 and the connecting pipe 115 are coaxially connected through the liquid inlet tee joint 117. The air outlet pipe 116 and the connecting pipe 115 are coaxially connected through the liquid outlet tee joint 118. The bending part of the liquid inlet tee joint 117 and the liquid outlet tee joint 118 is provided with a reinforcing mechanism 150. The reinforcing mechanism 150 can be in any shape for stability, for example, the reinforcing mechanism 150 is a cylindrical body parallel to the folding line.

[0043] The liquid inlet tee joint 117 and the liquid outlet tee joint 118 both include a liquid passing part 140 and three opening parts 130. The liquid passing part 140 is in the shape of T.

One end of the air outlet pipe 116 extends into the opening part 130 and is communicated with the liquid outlet tee joint 118. The cross-sectional area of the liquid passing part 140 is smaller than that of the opening part 130. The two ends of the connecting pipe 115 extend into the opening parts 130 and are communicated with the liquid inlet tee joint 117 and the liquid outlet tee joint 118, respectively.

[0044] The cross-sectional area of the liquid passing portion 140 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the opening portion 130, so that a space is left in the opening portion 130 for placing the pipe, so that the inner wall of the pipe is flush with the inner wall of the liquid passing portion 140, or the inner wall of the pipe is outward relative to the inner wall of the liquid passing portion 140, reducing the impact force on the inner wall of the pipe and the three-way interface connection when the liquid flows, making the air inlet pipe 114, the air outlet pipe 116 and the connecting pipe 115 more stable in connection with the three-way interface, and increasing the service life of the test unit 100.

[0045] The part of the air inlet pipe 114 and the air outlet pipe 116 extending into the opening portion 130 accounts for 1 / 4-1 / 2 of the air inlet pipe 114 and the air outlet pipe 116 respectively. For example, the part of the air inlet pipe 114 extending into the opening portion 130 accounts for 1 / 3 of the air inlet pipe 114; the part of the air outlet pipe 116 extending into the opening portion 130 accounts for 1 / 3 of the air outlet pipe 116.

[0046] The test unit 100 of the embodiment is used in the vertical direction to access the test device for testing the explosion resistance, so that the explosion resistance performance of the membrane filament 120 can be tested in the production of the membrane filament 120 before the related terminal product of the membrane filament 120 is manufactured, avoiding economic loss caused by rework of the entire product due to unqualified products; in addition, the test unit 100 of the present application can facilitate researchers to conduct research and test on the performance of the membrane filament 120 in research and development, which is helpful for technical research and development; at the same time, the test unit 100 of the present application has simple structure and strong applicability, and can be used in different membrane filament performance test devices.
