They can assist in repairing cartilage in patients' joints and other parts of the body. 3D printed hydrogel cartilage scaffolds need to undergo performance testing before being put into use. The testing mainly includes X-ray machines, scanning electron microscopes and mechanical testing machines. The mechanical testing machine is used to test the tensile strength, bending strength, compression performance and other mechanical properties of the 3D printed hydrogel cartilage scaffolds to evaluate whether their mechanical properties meet the requirements.
[0003] However, the existing 3D printed hydrogel cartilage scaffold mechanical property testing device has a limited number of tests, and the mechanical properties of the cartilage scaffold are not fully tested. In addition, the various detection structures of the existing mechanical property testing devices are mostly on the same platform, and the various detection structures will interfere with each other when used simultaneously. In order to address the shortcomings of the existing technology, we propose a 3D printed hydrogel cartilage scaffold performance testing device. Utility Model Content

[0021] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.
[0022] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, a 3D printed hydrogel cartilage scaffold performance testing device includes a performance testing device body 1, three storage slots are evenly opened on the top of the performance testing device body 1, a silicone block 2 is detachably installed on the bottom of the inner wall of the storage slot opened on the performance testing device body 1, a working plate 3 is detachably installed on the top of the silicone block 2, and a hydraulic push rod 4 is detachably installed on one side of the top of the working plate 3. By twisting the adjusting sleeve 10, the splint 9 is driven to move downward under the common limit of the fixed screw 8 and the limit plate 7, and the splint 9 drives the silicone pad 14 to cooperate with the clamping seat 6 to clamp 3D printed hydrogel cartilage scaffolds to be tested of different sizes, which has a wider range of adaptability and stronger practicality.
[0023] One end of the 3D printed hydrogel cartilage scaffold to be tested is clamped on the clamping assembly 5, and the other end is bonded to one end of the push rod of the hydraulic push rod 4. The 3D printed hydrogel cartilage scaffold is repeatedly pushed and compressed by the push rod of the hydraulic push rod 4, and the 3D printed hydrogel cartilage scaffold is repeatedly compressed. In addition, the tensile strength and bending strength of the 3D printed hydrogel cartilage scaffold are tested respectively by different combinations of hydraulic push rods 4 and clamping assemblies. The 3D printed hydrogel cartilage scaffold is fully tested by the repeated movement of the push rod of the hydraulic push rod 4, and the test results are more reliable.
[0024] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the inner wall of the storage slot opened on the main body 1 of the performance testing device is symmetrically and detachably installed with two groups of fixed sockets 11, a rubber block 12 is detachably installed on one side of the inner wall of the fixed socket 11, and an insertion rod 13 is detachably installed on the top of the rubber block 12. The three storage slots opened on the main body 1 of the performance testing device correspond to a working plate 3 respectively, and each working plate 3 is independent of each other. The silicone block 2 cooperates with the fixed socket 11 and the insertion rod 13 to dampen the hydraulic push rod 4 on the working plate 3. The same working plates 3 on the three storage slots opened on the main body 1 of the performance testing device are damped by the above-mentioned same structure. The hydraulic push rods 4 and clamping components on each independent working plate 3 can work simultaneously without interfering with each other, thereby improving the detection efficiency and making the detection results more accurate.
[0025] How it works
[0026] It should be noted that the present invention is a 3D printed hydrogel cartilage scaffold performance testing device. When in use, first screw the adjusting sleeve 10, and the adjusting sleeve 10 moves on the fixed screw rod 8 through the thread, and the adjusting sleeve 10 is rotated in the direction away from the clamping seat 6. The adjusting sleeve 10 drives the rotating connected splint 9 to move upward with the adjusting sleeve 10 under the common limit of the fixed screw rod 8 and the limit plate 7. The splint 9 drives the silicone pad 14 away from the clamping seat 6, and the 3D printed hydrogel cartilage scaffold to be tested is placed between the silicone pad 14 and the clamping seat 6. The adjusting sleeve 10 is screwed and moved downward on the fixed screw rod 8 through the thread. The adjusting sleeve 10 drives the splint 9 to move downward under the common limit of the fixed screw 8 and the limit plate 7, and the splint 9 drives the silicone pad 14 to cooperate with the clamping seat 6 to clamp one end of the 3D printed hydrogel cartilage scaffold to be tested, and the other end of the 3D printed hydrogel cartilage scaffold to be tested is bonded to one end of the push rod of the hydraulic push rod 4, and the hydraulic push rod 4 is started. The push rod of the hydraulic push rod 4 pushes and compresses the 3D printed hydrogel cartilage scaffold to be tested, and the push rod of the hydraulic push rod 4 is repeatedly pushed, so as to perform repeated compression performance testing on the 3D printed hydrogel cartilage scaffold to be tested, thereby achieving the purpose of continuously testing the performance of the 3D printed hydrogel cartilage scaffold.
[0027] When the hydraulic push rod 4 drives the 3D printed hydrogel cartilage scaffold to be tested for performance testing, the vibration generated by the hydraulic push rod 4 working on the working plate 3 is transmitted to the silicone block 2 through the working plate 3. The silicone block 2 absorbs the transmitted vibration and transmits part of the force to the performance testing device body 1. At the same time, the vibration generated by the hydraulic push rod 4 during operation drives the working plate 3 to drive the insertion rod 13 to slide in the fixed socket 11 and compress the rubber block 12. The friction between the fixed socket 11 and the insertion rod 13 offsets the rebound of the rubber block 12 after the compression of the rubber block 12. The silicone block 2 cooperates with the fixed socket 11 and the insertion rod 13 to reduce the vibration of the hydraulic push rod 4 on the working plate 3. The same working plates 3 on the three storage slots opened on the performance testing device body 1 are shock-absorbing through the above-mentioned same structure, so that the hydraulic push rods 4 and clamping assemblies 5 for performance testing in different combinations on the three same working plates 3 on the performance testing device body 1 can operate simultaneously, thereby achieving the purpose of multiple groups of tests without interfering with each other.
