The dialysate connection tube 31 connects to the dialysate, and the connecting catheter connects to the patient. The catheter connector connects the catheter and the dialysate connection tube and typically employs a reliable connection method to ensure no dialysate leakage. Therefore, peritoneal dialysis external catheters require fatigue resistance testing to provide an extra layer of assurance for clinical use. Summary of the Invention

[0022] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a peritoneal dialysis external short tube fatigue testing device includes a frame electrical box 1. A fatigue testing mechanism is installed on the top of the frame electrical box 1. The fatigue testing mechanism includes a two-end fixing mechanism and a middle fixing mechanism. The two-end fixing mechanisms are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the middle fixing mechanism. A rotating mechanism is fixedly connected to the ends of the opposite ends of the two-end fixing mechanisms.
[0023] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and 6 As shown, the middle part of the conduit connector 30 is fixed by the middle fixing mechanism, and the end caps at both ends are fixed by the end fixing mechanisms. Then, the rotating mechanism is started to drive the two ends to rotate for fatigue testing.
[0024] Furthermore, the intermediate fixing mechanism includes a pressing cylinder fixing plate 2 located at the top, fixing columns are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the pressing cylinder fixing plate 2, and several vertically arranged pressing cylinders 3 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the pressing cylinder fixing plate 2. A pressing seat 4 is fixedly attached to the bottom of the free end of the pressing cylinder 3, and a placement seat 5 is provided below each pressing seat 4. The placement seat 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the frame electrical box 1.
[0025] Specifically, both the placement seat 5 and the pressing seat 4 are provided with placement grooves. The middle part of the conduit connector 30 is placed in the placement groove of the placement seat 5, and the free end of the pressing cylinder 3 moves downward so that the pressing seat 4 presses down on the middle part of the conduit connector 30.
[0026] Furthermore, the rotating mechanism includes a motor 8, which is fixed to the side of the fixed plate 9. The motor 8 has a rotating shaft 10 connected to its drive shaft via a coupling. The rotating shaft 10 passes through the fixed plate 11 and is fixedly connected to it. The other end of the rotating shaft 10 is a cavity structure. A fixed shaft 12 is fixed inside the cavity of the rotating shaft 10. The other end of the fixed shaft 12 is connected to the two-end fixing mechanism.
[0027] Specifically, the motor 8 starts and drives the rotating shaft 10 and the fixed shaft 12 to rotate, which in turn drives the fixed mechanism to rotate.
[0028] Furthermore, the rotating shaft 10 has symmetrically provided strip-shaped holes 37, and the fixed shaft 12 is connected to the rotating shaft 10 by a pin.
[0029] Specifically, since the end caps of the conduit connector 30 are threaded, the motor 8 rotates in both directions during testing. This rotation will generate a displacement difference, and the fixed shaft 12 can move within the cavity of the rotating shaft 10 to automatically compensate for the displacement. The rotation of the motor 8 drives the rotating shaft 10 and the fixed shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the fixed mechanisms at both ends to rotate, thereby conducting fatigue testing.
[0030] Furthermore, the two-end fixing mechanism includes an upper mounting base 14 and a lower mounting base 33, which are fixedly connected to the ends of the fixed shaft 12. The upper mounting base 14 has a 7-shaped structure. A clamping cylinder 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the horizontal part of the upper mounting base 14. A lower pressing block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the free end of the clamping cylinder 15. An adjusting seat 34 is fixedly connected to the top of the horizontal plate of the lower mounting base 33. The adjusting seat 34 has a U-shaped structure. A lifting seat 35 is provided in the groove of the adjusting seat 34. A placement block 36 is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting seat 35. The lifting seat 35 is connected to the adjusting seat 34 by bolts.
[0031] Specifically, the end caps of the conduit connector 30 are located on the top of the placement blocks 36 on the two end fixing mechanisms. The free end of the pressing cylinder 15 moves downward, causing the lower pressing block to move downward. The lower pressing block will press down on the two ends of the conduit connector 30. The lifting seat 35 has a T-shaped structure. The vertical part of the lifting seat 35 can move vertically in the groove of the adjusting seat 34 and then be fixed with bolts. This allows the height of the placement block 36 to be adjusted, thus adapting to different products and ensuring that different products are at the center of rotation.
[0032] Furthermore, fixing plate 19 and fixing plate 21 are fixedly connected to the top of the movable base 16. The movable base 16 is slidably disposed on the top of the slider of the linear motor module 17. A hose fixing device is provided on the top of the movable base 16.
[0033] Specifically, the linear motor module 17 drives the movable base 16 to move linearly, thereby driving the two end fixing mechanisms to move horizontally, thus adapting to end caps of different lengths.
[0034] Furthermore, the hose fixing device includes two columns 18. An upper fixing plate 19 and a lower fixing plate 20 are fixedly connected to the lower part of the top of the columns 18. A hose fixing cylinder 21 is fixedly connected to the upper fixing plate 19. A hose upper pressure plate 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the free end of the hose fixing cylinder 21. A hose placement seat 28 for placing the hose is fixedly connected to the top of the lower fixing plate 20.
[0035] Specifically, the top of the tubing placement seat 28 and the bottom of the tubing pressure plate 22 are provided with several corresponding placement slots. During testing, the dialysate connecting tube 31 and connecting conduit 32 are respectively passed through the holes on the adjacent upper mounting seat 14 and placed in the placement slots at the top of the tubing placement seat 28. The tubing fixing cylinder 21 is activated to drive the tubing pressure plate 22 to move downward and press the tubing down, but it does not need to be pressed very tightly.
[0036] Furthermore, a leak detection device is provided on the side of the hose placement seat 28 on both sides. The side leak device includes an inflation structure, a sealing structure and an airtightness tester 38. The sealing structure includes two spaced columns, which are vertically fixed to the top of the frame electrical box 1. A placement plate is fixedly connected to the top of the sealing column, and a sealing seat 25 is fixedly connected to the top of the placement plate. A rubber plug 26 is fixedly connected to the side of the sealing seat 25.
[0037] Specifically, the inflation structure includes two spaced columns, with a placement plate fixedly connected to the top of each column. An inflation pump 23 is installed on the top of the placement plate, and one end of the inflation pump 23 is connected to multiple inflation tubes. After the rotation test is completed, the end of each dialysate connecting tube 31 is connected to the corresponding rubber stopper 26, and the end of each connecting conduit 32 is connected to the inflation tube for inflation. The air tightness is then tested using an air tightness tester 38, which is an SFS multi-channel air tightness tester.
[0038] A protective cover 27 is installed on the top of the rack electrical box 1, and a control cabinet is installed on the protective cover 27.
