Description
An infusion pump that prevents blood clots from clogging Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and more particularly to an infusion pump that prevents thrombosis and blockage. Background Technology
[0002] Infusion pumps, as core equipment for precise drug delivery in clinical practice, are widely used in various medical scenarios. They ensure the effectiveness and safety of drug therapy by precisely controlling the infusion rate and dosage. However, thrombosis has always been a critical pain point that urgently needs to be addressed in clinical practice during long-term infusions. On the one hand, when the flow rate of the infusion solution is slow, blood can easily flow back to the interface between the tubing and the blood vessel. Blood components can then deposit and form thrombi, blocking the tubing and causing infusion interruptions, affecting the continuity of treatment. On the other hand, thrombi that break off and travel with the bloodstream may cause serious complications such as pulmonary embolism and cerebral thrombosis, threatening the patient's life. In addition, existing thrombosis prevention methods mostly rely on heparin sealing and periodic manual flushing, which not only increases the workload of medical staff, but also carries the risk of bleeding with heparin use. Improper control of the force used for manual flushing can easily damage the vascular endothelium, which may exacerbate thrombus formation.
[0003] Existing antithrombotic infusion devices have significant limitations: for example, the patent with publication number CN108578824A uses the contraction pressure of an elastic reservoir to achieve continuous infusion, which can only reduce blood reflux through simple continuous infusion and cannot provide targeted intervention for different stages of thrombus formation. Furthermore, it lacks thrombus monitoring capabilities, making it difficult to provide early warning of blockage risks. The disclosed novel continuous slow infusion device relies on a hollow nanomembrane to achieve positive pressure infusion. While it can reduce thrombus formation, its complex structure and high cost mean it can only achieve passive thrombus prevention and cannot actively clear thrombi in their early stages, resulting in limited thrombus prevention effectiveness. Simultaneously, most existing infusion pumps only have bubble monitoring capabilities (such as the dual ultrasonic bubble monitoring technology in Mindray Medical's BeneFusion e-series infusion pumps), failing to combine thrombus monitoring with anti-blockage intervention. This prevents the formation of a closed loop of "monitoring-early warning-intervention," making it difficult to fundamentally solve the problem of thrombus blockage.
[0004] Therefore, developing an anti-thrombotic infusion pump that can achieve accurate thrombosis monitoring, active intervention, intelligent adjustment, high safety, convenient operation, and strong adaptability, and overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, has become an urgent need in the current medical equipment field.

[0044] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0045] Example 1:
[0046] As shown in Figures 1 to 6, an infusion pump for preventing thrombosis includes a pump body 1, an infusion line 11, and a main control component 2. The pump body 1 is provided with a line slot 12, an operation panel 13, and a mounting cavity 14. The infusion line 11 is adapted to be installed in the line slot 12, and the main control component 2 is fixed in the mounting cavity 14. It also includes a mechanical anti-thrombosis mechanism 3, a line sealing and fixing component 4, and an auxiliary support component 5. The mechanical anti-thrombosis mechanism 3 and the line sealing and fixing component 4 are both installed on the pump body 1 and adapted to cooperate with the infusion line 11. The main control component 2 is only used for basic infusion control and simple signal feedback, which greatly reduces the number of electrical monitoring and intervention components.
[0047] The mechanical anti-thrombotic mechanism 3 is used to achieve initial mechanical removal and continuous prevention of thrombi. It includes a pulsed mechanical liquid-pushing component 31, a tubing micro-vibrator mechanism 32, and a detachable anticoagulant mixing mechanism 33. The pulsed mechanical liquid-pushing component 31 is installed on the side of the pump body 1 near the patient end and is connected to the infusion tubing 11. It adopts a mechanical cam 311 transmission structure, which does not require complex electrical control. The rotation of the cam 311 pushes the liquid-pushing piston 312, outputting a low-frequency pulsed liquid thrust to impact the inner wall of the tubing, remove the initially deposited thrombi, and prevent the thrombi from growing further.
[0048] As shown in Figures 1 to 6, the pipeline micro-vibrator mechanism 32 is integrated into the inner wall of the pipeline slot 12, including a micro-mechanical vibrator 321, an elastic support 322, and an adjustment knob 323. The elastic support 322 is fixed to the inner wall of the pipeline slot 12. The micro-mechanical vibrator 321 is fitted to the infusion pipeline 11 and connected to the elastic support 322. The adjustment knob 323 passes through the side wall of the pump body 1 and is threaded to the elastic support 322. By rotating the adjustment knob 323, the tightness of the elastic support 322 is changed, thereby adjusting the contact force and vibration amplitude of the micro-mechanical vibrator 321 with the infusion pipeline 11, preventing blood components from depositing on the inner wall of the pipeline, while promoting the flow of medicine in the pipeline and reducing blood backflow. In this embodiment, the micro mechanical vibrating pad 321 is made of medical-grade stainless steel with a thickness of 0.1-0.3mm. It has good elasticity and vibration transmission, and the vibration amplitude adjustment range is 0.1-0.5mm. The adjustment knob 323 has anti-slip texture on its surface, which is convenient for medical staff to adjust manually without the need for electrical control, making it easy to operate.
[0049] The detachable anticoagulant mixing mechanism 33 includes a mixing connector 331, an anticoagulant reservoir 332, and a mechanical metering valve 333. The mixing connector 331 is detachably connected to the infusion line 11 via a sealing thread. The anticoagulant reservoir 332 is fixed to the side wall of the pump body 1 via a snap-fit structure and communicates with the mixing connector 331. The mechanical metering valve 333 is installed at the connection between the mixing connector 331 and the anticoagulant reservoir 332. The infusion dose of the anticoagulant is adjusted by rotating the metering knob. The mechanical seal structure prevents leakage and does not require electrical drive, thus achieving precise mixing and infusion of the anticoagulant and the drug solution, and assisting in mechanical antithrombosis. In this embodiment, the anticoagulant reservoir 332 is made of transparent medical-grade PET material with a volume of 5-10ml, making it easy for medical staff to observe the remaining amount of anticoagulant; the mechanical metering valve 333 has a metering range of 0.01-0.1ml / h, high metering accuracy, and the knob is marked with scale marks, making it easy to accurately adjust the anticoagulant dosage; the inner wall of the mixing connector 331 is provided with a spiral guide groove 34, which can promote the full mixing of anticoagulant and drug solution and avoid excessive local concentration.
[0050] The pipeline sealing and fixing assembly 4 is used to securely fix and seal the infusion pipeline 11 to prevent pipeline displacement, leakage, and air ingress. It includes a layered slot structure 41, a sealing cap 42, and a quick connector 43. The layered slot structure 41 includes a main slot 411 and an auxiliary positioning slot 412. The main slot 411 is used to place the main body of the infusion pipeline 11, and the auxiliary positioning slot 412 is used to place the branch connectors of the infusion pipeline 11. The inner walls of the main slot 411 and the auxiliary positioning slot 412 are provided with elastic sealing gaskets 44. The surface of the elastic sealing gaskets 44 is provided with anti-slip texture to increase the friction with the infusion pipeline 11 and achieve sealing at the same time. In this embodiment, both the main slot 411 and the auxiliary positioning slot 412 of the layered slot structure 41 adopt an arc-shaped structure to match the shape of the infusion tubing 11. The elastic sealing gasket 44 is made of medical-grade silicone with a thickness of 1-2 mm. The anti-slip texture is annular interlaced texture, which increases friction and improves the sealing effect, preventing tubing displacement and leakage. The quick connector 43 has 2-3 annular sealing grooves, each with a sealing ring made of fluororubber, which is resistant to high temperatures and corrosion, suitable for various medications, and ensures the sealing performance of the connection. The quick connector 43 uses a snap-fit connection method with a sealing thread, which facilitates quick assembly and disassembly and improves sealing reliability.
[0051] Meanwhile, the sealing cap 42 is rotatably connected to the pump body 1 via a hinge, and covers the pipeline slot 12. The inner wall of the sealing cap 42 is provided with a sealing protrusion that matches the pipeline slot 12. After the cap is closed, the sealing protrusion presses against the infusion pipeline 11 to achieve double sealing. The quick connector 43 includes an input connector 431 and an output connector 432, which are respectively installed at the inlet and outlet ends of the pump body 1 and are detachably and sealingly connected to the infusion pipeline 11. The inner wall of the quick connector 43 is provided with an annular sealing groove, and a high-temperature resistant medical sealing ring is provided in the annular sealing groove to ensure that there is no leakage or air intake at the connection point, and at the same time, it is convenient to quickly replace the infusion pipeline 11.
[0052] The auxiliary support component 5, used to improve the stability and adaptability of the pump body 1, includes a foldable support foot 51, a height adjustment screw 52, and an anti-slip base 53. The foldable support foot 51 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the pump body 1 via a hinge, and can be folded for easy carrying and storage. The height adjustment screw 52 is threaded through the bottom of the foldable support foot 51. The anti-slip base 53 is fixed to the lower end of the height adjustment screw 52 and is made of medical anti-slip rubber. The height of the support foot can be changed by rotating the height adjustment screw 52 to adapt to different infusion scenarios (such as bedside, desktop). The anti-slip base 53 can prevent the pump body 1 from sliding and improve the safety of use. The pump body 1 has 3-4 foldable support feet 51, which are evenly distributed at the bottom. The support feet are made of lightweight aluminum alloy, which is strong and lightweight. The folding angle is 0-90°. After folding, the bottom of the pump body 1 is flat and easy to store. The height adjustment screw 52 has an adjustment range of 10-30mm. The anti-slip base 53 has a diameter of 30-50mm and anti-slip bumps on the surface to further improve the anti-slip effect.
[0053] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the mounting cavity 14 of the pump body 1 is provided with heat dissipation holes 141 and dustproof mesh 142. The heat dissipation holes 141 are used for basic heat dissipation of the main control component 2, and the dustproof mesh 142 prevents dust from entering the mounting cavity 14 and protects the main control component 2. The operation panel 13 is only provided with basic parameter adjustment keys, mode switching keys and emergency stop keys. The parameter adjustment keys are used to adjust the infusion rate and pulse frequency. The mode switching keys are used to switch between the normal infusion mode and the anti-thrombosis enhancement mode. The emergency stop key is used to quickly stop the infusion in case of abnormal conditions.
[0054] In this embodiment, the infusion tubing 11 is made of medical-grade silicone material, with a hydrophilic inner wall and a smooth surface, which can reduce the deposition of blood components and medication, thereby reducing the probability of thrombosis from the material perspective. The infusion tubing 11 is equipped with a mechanical one-way valve near the patient end, which adopts a spring-loaded one-way sealing structure. It does not require electrical control, but automatically opens based on the pressure of the medication and automatically closes when there is no medication flow, preventing blood from flowing back into the infusion tubing 11. Together with the mechanical anti-thrombotic mechanism 3, it further reduces the risk of thrombosis.
[0055] The cam 311 transmission structure of the pulse-type mechanical liquid pushing component 31 includes a drive motor (only used to provide basic power, without complex electrical control), a cam 311, a liquid pushing piston 312, a return spring 313, and a liquid pushing tube 314. The drive motor is fixed inside the pump body 1, and the cam 311 is fixed on the output shaft of the drive motor. One end of the liquid pushing piston 312 is in contact with the cam 311, and the other end extends into the liquid pushing tube 314. The return spring 313 is sleeved on the liquid pushing piston 312, with one end connected to the end of the liquid pushing tube 314 and the other end connected to the limiting platform of the liquid pushing piston 312. When the cam 311 rotates, it pushes the liquid pushing piston 312 to reciprocate. The return spring 313 assists the liquid pushing piston 312 to return to its original position, realizing pulse-type liquid pushing. The structure is simple, stable, and not easily damaged.
[0056] Meanwhile, the cam 311 of the pulse-type mechanical liquid pusher 31 adopts an eccentric cam 311 structure with an eccentricity of 2-5mm. By replacing the cam 311 with different eccentricities, the magnitude of the pulse thrust can be adjusted to adapt to infusion tubing 11 of different diameters and different thrombus removal requirements. The liquid pusher piston 312 is made of medical-grade rubber with a wear-resistant coating on the surface to improve service life. The connection between the liquid pusher tube 314 and the infusion tubing 11 adopts a sealed thread structure, which, together with the sealing gasket, achieves double sealing to prevent leakage.
[0057] The pump body 1 is made of medical-grade ABS material and the surface is treated with antibacterial agents to effectively inhibit bacterial growth. The side wall of the pump body 1 is equipped with a non-slip handle for easy hand grip. The surface of the handle is provided with an arc-shaped groove to fit the contour of the hand, making it easy to carry and move the pump body 1. The cover of the mounting cavity 14 adopts a detachable structure and is fixed by bolts, which facilitates the inspection and maintenance of the main control component 2.
[0058] In summary, when using the anti-thrombotic infusion pump of the present invention, first unfold the foldable support foot 51, and adjust the height of the pump body 1 by rotating the height adjustment screw 52 to make the pump body 1 stable. The anti-slip base 53 fits against the placement surface to prevent slippage. The infusion pipeline 11 is installed in the layered slot structure 41, the main slot 411 places the pipeline body, the auxiliary positioning slot 412 places the branch joint, the elastic sealing gasket 44 fits against the pipeline surface, and the sealing cap 42 is closed to make the sealing protrusion press against the infusion pipeline 11, so as to achieve firm fixation and double sealing.
[0059] The anticoagulant reservoir 332 is fixed to the side wall of the pump body 1 by a snap fastener. The mixing connector 331 is connected to the infusion line 11 through a sealing thread. The knob of the mechanical metering valve 333 is rotated to adjust the anticoagulant infusion dose according to the patient's needs. The input connector 431 of the quick connector 43 is connected to the drug bag, and the output connector 432 is connected to the patient's infusion needle to complete the tubing connection.
[0060] The infusion pump is started via the control panel 13. The main control component 2 controls the drive motor to rotate, which drives the cam 311 of the pulse mechanical pusher 31 to rotate. The cam 311 pushes the pusher piston 312 to reciprocate. The reset spring 313 assists in reset. The pusher piston 312 outputs low-frequency pulse liquid thrust, which is transmitted to the infusion line 11 through the pusher tube 314, impacting the inner wall of the line and clearing the initial deposited thrombus. At the same time, the adjustment knob 323 of the micro-vibrator mechanism 32 of the line is rotated to make the micro-mechanical vibrator 321 fit tightly against the infusion line 11. The elastic support 322 drives the micro-mechanical vibrator 321 to generate micro-vibration, preventing blood component deposition and promoting drug flow.
[0061] The anticoagulant in the anticoagulant reservoir 332 flows into the mixing connector 331 at a preset dose through the mechanical metering valve 333. After being fully mixed with the drug solution in the spiral guide groove 34, it is infused into the patient's body through the infusion line 11 to help prevent thrombosis. If abnormalities such as line blockage or leakage occur during the infusion process, pressing the emergency stop button will cause the main control component 2 to control the drive motor to stop working. Medical staff can quickly disassemble the quick connector 43 and the mixing connector 331 and replace the infusion line 11 without complicated operations.
[0062] After the infusion is completed, turn off the infusion pump, disassemble the anticoagulant reservoir 332 and the mixing connector 331, clean and disinfect them for easy reuse; fold the foldable support foot 51 and store the pump body 1 in the designated position to complete the entire infusion process.
[0063] The anti-thrombotic infusion pump of this embodiment is used in long-term infusion scenarios for critically ill patients in intensive care units. Its specific working process is as follows:
[0064] 1. Equipment debugging: Unfold the three foldable support legs 51, and adjust the pump body 1 to a suitable height by rotating the height adjustment screw 52. Ensure that the anti-slip base 53 fits tightly against the headboard table to ensure that the pump body 1 is stable. Open the cover of the mounting cavity 14, check the installation of the main control component 2 and the drive motor, and close the cover.
[0065] 2. Tubing Installation: Install the infusion tubing 11 into the layered slot structure 41. The main slot 411 holds the tubing body, the auxiliary positioning slot 412 holds the branch connectors, and the elastic sealing gasket 44 fits tightly against the tubing surface. Cover the sealing cap 42, and the sealing protrusion presses the infusion tubing 11 to achieve fixation and sealing. Connect the mixing connector 331 to the infusion tubing 112 through the sealing thread. The anticoagulant reservoir 332 is fixed to the side wall of the pump body 1 by a buckle. Rotate the knob of the mechanical metering valve 333 to adjust the anticoagulant infusion dose to 0.02 ml / h. Connect the input connector 431 of the quick connector 43 to the drug bag and the output connector 432 to the patient's infusion needle, ensuring a firm connection and no leakage.
[0066] 3. Anti-thrombosis setting: Rotate the adjustment knob 323 of the micro-vibrator mechanism 32 of the tubing to make the micro-mechanical vibrating plate 321 fit tightly against the infusion tubing 11 and adjust it to a suitable vibration amplitude; set the infusion rate to 5ml / h and the pulse frequency to 2 times / minute through the operation panel 13, switch to the anti-thrombosis enhancement mode, and start the infusion pump;
[0067] 4. Infusion process: The main control component 2 controls the drive motor to rotate, which drives the cam 311 to rotate. The cam 311 pushes the pusher piston 312 to reciprocate. The reset spring 313 assists in reset. The pusher piston 312 outputs a low-frequency pulsed liquid thrust, which is transmitted to the infusion line 11 through the pusher tube 314, impacting the inner wall of the line and clearing the initial deposited thrombus. The micro mechanical vibration plate 321721 generates micro-vibration to prevent blood component deposition and promote drug flow. The anticoagulant in the anticoagulant reservoir 332 flows into the mixing connector 331 at a dose of 0.02 ml / h through the mechanical metering valve 333. After being fully mixed with the drug in the spiral guide groove 34, it is infused into the patient's body.
[0068] 5. Troubleshooting: If a blockage is found in the tubing during infusion, press the emergency stop button to stop the drive motor 715; disassemble the quick connector 43 and the mixing connector 331, replace the infusion tubing 11, reconnect it, and restart the infusion pump to resume infusion; if leakage occurs, check the sealing of the quick connector 43 and the mixing connector 331, tighten the sealing threads or replace the sealing ring.
[0069] 6. End of infusion: Turn off the infusion pump, disassemble the anticoagulant reservoir 332 and mixing connector 331, clean and disinfect them for reuse; fold the foldable support leg 51, store the pump body 1 in the designated position, and the infusion process is complete.
[0070] In this embodiment, by strengthening the mechanical structure design, no complex electrical monitoring intervention is required. The mechanical anti-thrombotic mechanism 3 alone can achieve initial thrombus removal and continuous prevention. The pipeline is firmly sealed and fixed, with no displacement or leakage. Patients experience no discomfort during infusion. The operation is convenient for medical staff, greatly reducing their workload. The anti-thrombotic effect is significant, successfully preventing the occurrence of thrombus blockage.
[0071] Example 2
[0072] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is as follows: the cam 311 of the pulse-type mechanical liquid pusher 31 has an eccentricity of 5mm, which can provide greater pulse thrust and is suitable for infusion lines 11 with larger diameters; the micro-mechanical vibrator 321 of the pipeline micro-vibrator mechanism 32 has a thickness of 0.3mm, which provides stronger vibration stability; the anticoagulant reservoir 332 has a volume of 10ml, which is suitable for larger doses of anticoagulant; the quick connector 43 has 3 annular sealing grooves on its inner wall, which provides better sealing performance; and the auxiliary support component 5 has 4 foldable support feet 51, which further improves stability.
[0073] The anti-thrombotic infusion pump of this embodiment is suitable for long-term chemotherapy infusion scenarios for cancer patients. Chemotherapy drugs are highly irritating and have long infusion times, which increases the risk of thrombosis. By optimizing the mechanical structure, the pulse thrust and sealing performance are improved. The mechanical metering valve 333 can accurately adjust the anticoagulant dosage to avoid the risk of bleeding caused by abnormal coagulation function in chemotherapy patients. At the same time, the continuous micro-vibration of the micro-mechanical vibrating plate 321 effectively prevents the deposition of chemotherapy drugs and thrombosis, ensuring the continuity and safety of chemotherapy treatment.
