[0043] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be combined with each other.

[0044] During the operation of the hemodialysis machine, the concentrate and the dialysis water produced by the water production equipment need to be prepared into dialysis fluid for the patient to perform hemodialysis.

[0045] In order to provide the dialysis water produced by the water production equipment to the hemodialysis machine. Figure 1 As shown, in the related art, the water production equipment is connected to a main pipeline 11, and dialysis water flows in the main pipeline 11. The direction of the arrow in the figure is the flow direction of the dialysis water. The main pipeline 11 is connected to multiple branch pipelines 12, and each branch pipeline 12 supplies water to a separate hemodialysis machine.

[0046] However, in the related art, a single branch pipe 12 is used to supply water to the hemodialysis machine. If the hemodialysis machine stops operating for a long time, a dead water section will be formed in the branch pipe 12, and bacteria are easily bred in the dead water section in the branch pipe 12. Therefore, when the hemodialysis machine is restarted, the dialysis water provided by the water preparation equipment to the hemodialysis machine through the branch pipe 12 is likely to carry bacteria bred in the dead water section, thereby affecting the health of the patient.

[0047] In view of this, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a water supply microcirculation device for a hemodialysis machine. The device utilizes the Bernoulli principle to reduce the dead water section formed between the main pipeline of the water production equipment and the hemodialysis machine, thereby ensuring the water quality of the dialysis water delivered to the hemodialysis machine by the water production equipment, thereby reducing the impact on the patient's health during the process of hemodialysis through the hemodialysis machine.

[0048] Combination Figure 2 As shown, a water supply microcirculation device for a hemodialysis machine provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a first pipeline 21, a second pipeline 22, a third pipeline 23 and a three-way connector 24, wherein:

[0049] The first end 211 of the first pipeline 21 is connected to the water supply pipeline of the water production equipment, so that the dialysis water produced by the water production equipment flows into the first pipeline 21 from the first end 211 .

[0050] The nominal diameter of the second pipeline 22 is greater than that of the first pipeline 21 . Preferably, the nominal diameter of the first pipeline 21 is 25 mm, and the nominal diameter of the second pipeline 22 is 50 mm. The first end 221 of the second pipeline 22 is connected to the second end 212 of the first pipeline 21 .

[0051] The third pipeline 23 has the same nominal diameter as the first pipeline 21. The first end 231 of the third pipeline 23 is connected to the second end 222 of the second pipeline 22, and the second end 232 of the third pipeline 23 is connected to the return pipeline of the water production equipment, so that the circulated dialysis water flows back to the water production equipment, reducing the waste of water resources.

[0052] The inlet 241 of the three-way connector 24 is connected to the second pipeline 22 through the fourth pipeline 25, the first outlet 242 of the three-way connector 24 is connected to the third pipeline 23 through the fifth pipeline 26, and the second outlet 243 of the three-way connector 24 is connected to the hemodialyzer.

[0053] In the disclosed embodiment, the main pipeline of the water supply microcirculation device is formed by connecting the first pipeline 21, the second pipeline 22 and the third pipeline 23 with different nominal diameters, and the main pipeline and the hemodialyzer are connected through the fourth pipeline 25, the fifth pipeline 26 and the three-way joint 24. Specifically, the inlet 241 of the three-way joint 24 is connected to the second pipeline 22 through the fourth pipeline 25, the first outlet 242 of the three-way joint 24 is connected to the third pipeline 23 through the fifth pipeline 26, and the second outlet 243 of the three-way joint 24 is connected to the hemodialyzer. In the process of the water production equipment delivering dialysis water to the hemodialysis machine through the water supply microcirculation device, since the nominal diameter of the second pipeline 22 is larger than the nominal diameter of the third pipeline 23, the dialysis water in the second pipeline 22 with a larger nominal diameter has a slow flow rate and a high pressure, and the dialysis water in the third pipeline 23 with a smaller nominal diameter has a fast flow rate and a low pressure, then the dialysis water in the second pipeline 22 will flow to the inlet 241 of the three-way joint 24 through the fourth pipeline 25, and then a part of the dialysis water will flow back to the third pipeline 23 through the first outlet 242 of the three-way joint 24, and the other part of the dialysis water will flow to the hemodialysis machine through the second outlet 243 of the three-way joint 24. In this way, even if the hemodialysis machine stops running for a long time, the dialysis water in the second pipeline 22 will flow through the fourth pipeline 25, the inlet 241 of the three-way joint 24, the first outlet 242 of the three-way joint 24 and the fifth pipeline 26 in sequence and flow back to the third pipeline 23, reducing the dead water section formed between the main pipeline of the water production equipment and the hemodialysis machine, thereby ensuring the water quality of the dialysis water delivered to the hemodialysis machine by the water production equipment, and further reducing the impact on the patient's health during the patient's hemodialysis through the hemodialysis machine.

[0054] It should be noted that in the related art, after bacteria grow in the dead water section formed between the main pipe of the water production equipment and the hemodialysis machine, the grown bacteria are difficult to be completely removed during chemical disinfection or thermal disinfection, resulting in incomplete disinfection. Moreover, the dead water section is prone to retain chemical drugs used in the patient's hemodialysis process, further increasing the possibility of bacterial growth. In view of this, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, by reducing the dead water section formed between the main pipe of the water production equipment and the hemodialysis machine, the possibility of bacterial growth in the water supply device is reduced, thereby reducing the difficulty of disinfecting the water supply device, thereby saving the maintenance cost of the water supply device.

[0055] Optionally, the water supply microcirculation device provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure further includes a first reducer 27 and a second reducer 28. Wherein, the first end 221 of the second pipeline 22 is connected to the second end 212 of the first pipeline 21 through the first reducer 27, and the first end 231 of the third pipeline 23 is connected to the second end 222 of the second pipeline 22 through the second reducer 28. Preferably, the first reducer 27 and the second reducer 28 are concentric reducers. In this way, the dialysis water in the first pipeline 21 can flow more smoothly to the second pipeline 22 and the third pipeline 23, further improving the circulation efficiency of the dialysis water.

[0056] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first end 211 of the first pipeline 21 is provided with a first connector 210, and the second end 232 of the third pipeline 23 is provided with a second connector 230. Figure 3 As shown, different water supply microcirculation devices are connected to each other through the first connector 210 and the second connector 230. In this way, dialysis water can be provided to multiple blood analyzers at the same time, improving the water supply efficiency. Preferably, the first connector 210 and the second connector 230 are quick-release connectors. When different water supply microcirculation devices are connected, the quick-release connectors are used for easier connection, which simplifies the deployment complexity of multiple water supply microcirculation devices and improves the deployment efficiency of the water supply microcirculation devices.

[0057] Optionally, the water supply microcirculation device provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure further includes a third quick-release connector 29 and a fourth quick-release connector 30. The third quick-release connector 29 is provided at the connection between the fourth pipeline 25 and the second pipeline 22, and the fourth quick-release connector 30 is provided at the connection between the fifth pipeline 26 and the third pipeline 23. In this way, through the third quick-release connector 29 and the fourth quick-release connector 30, the fourth pipeline 25 and the fifth pipeline 26 are conveniently connected to the main pipeline, or conveniently disassembled from the main pipeline, which is convenient for replacing the fourth pipeline 25 and the fifth pipeline 26.

[0058] Optionally, the water supply microcirculation device provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure further includes a fifth quick-release connector 31 and a pagoda connector 32. The fifth quick-release connector 31 is disposed at the second outlet 243 of the three-way connector 24 and is connected to the second outlet 243 of the three-way connector 24. The pagoda connector 32 is connected to the fifth quick-release connector 31 and the hemodialysis machine, respectively. In this way, the fifth quick-release connector 31 and the pagoda connector 32 facilitate the connection or disassembly between the water supply microcirculation device and the hemodialysis machine, so as not to affect the hemodialysis machine during the disinfection process of the pipeline of the water supply microcirculation device.

[0059] Optionally, in the disclosed embodiment, the fourth pipeline 25 and the fifth pipeline 26 are made of plastic, preferably, high temperature resistant plastic. Thus, on the one hand, the plastic pipeline can be slightly bent, saving the installation space of the water supply microcirculation device. On the other hand, the plastic pipeline is more suitable for mobile hemodialysis machines. During the movement, the plastic pipeline is easy to bend and not easily damaged, thereby improving the scope of application of the water supply microcirculation device.

[0060] Optionally, in the water supply microcirculation device of the disclosed embodiment, except for the fourth pipeline 25 and the fifth pipeline 26, the material of the remaining pipes is S31603. In this way, the corrosion resistance of the entire water supply microcirculation device can be improved. For example, the first pipeline 21, the second hanging pipeline 22 and the third pipeline 23 are made of S31603 stainless steel, and the material of the three-way connector 24, the pagoda connector 32 and each quick-release connector is also S31603. Preferably, in the disclosed embodiment, the three-way connector 24 is a U-shaped quick-release connector.

[0061] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first joint 210 , the second joint 230 , the third quick-release joint 29 and the fourth quick-release joint 30 are all configured with quick-release clamps.

[0062] Optionally, in the water supply microcirculation device of the embodiment of the present disclosure, each pipe fitting is a sanitary-grade pipe fitting, so that the entire water supply microcirculation device can more effectively prevent bacteria from growing.
