Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of artificial heart valve testing, in particular to an artificial heart valve steady-state flow testing machine. Background Art

[0002] Steady-state flow testing is one of the important methods used to evaluate the performance of artificial heart valves. It simulates the in vivo environment and accurately measures the performance of the valve under different working conditions by controlling parameters such as flow rate and pressure. This test is of great significance in guiding doctors to select the most suitable artificial heart valve for the patient, evaluating the biocompatibility and durability of the valve, and guiding the research and development of new artificial heart valves. The steady-state flow test of artificial heart valves is divided into forward flow test and reverse leakage test. The forward flow test simulates the quasi-steady flow state during the peak period of ventricular ejection and tests the forward flow resistance performance of the valve; the reverse leakage test simulates the leakage state after the valve is fully closed and measures the closure quality of the valve.

[0003] Existing steady-state flow test devices generally use the same flow sensor to test forward flow and reverse leakage flow. However, the measured flow ranges in forward flow and reverse leakage tests are very different, which directly leads to poor test accuracy and thus affects the accuracy of the test results.

[0045] Existing steady-state flow testing machines are generally arranged in a flat manner, which occupies a large space. In order to solve this problem, the steady-state flow testing machine of the present invention adopts a vertical structure, which is not only convenient to operate but also occupies a small space.

[0060] In order to ensure the stability of the liquid storage tank body 1-1, a plurality of support rods I1-2 are installed between the upper cover assembly I and the lower cover assembly I.

[0061] Specifically, the upper cover assembly I includes an upper cover I1-3, and a forward flow return water port 1-4 and a reverse leakage return water port 1-5 arranged on the side of the upper cover I1-3. A water injection port 1-6 closed by a plug 1-7 is arranged above the upper cover I1-3.

[0062] The forward flow return water port 1-4 is used to connect the forward flow return water pipe 5. In this embodiment, the forward flow return water port 1-4 is located on the rear side of the upper cover Ⅰ1-3, which is convenient for connection with the forward flow return water pipe 5 located on the rear side of the vertical plate 7-2.

[0063] The anti-leakage return water port 1-5 is used to connect the anti-leakage return pipe 6. In this embodiment, the anti-leakage return pipe 6 is located on the right side of the upper cover I1-3, so as to be connected to the anti-leakage return pipe 6 located on the front side of the vertical plate 7-2.

[0064] The water filling port 1-6 is used to add the test liquid into the liquid storage tank body 1-1 to prevent the heating rod 1-9 from heating dry, and the plug 1-7 is used to seal the water filling port 1-6.

[0065] Specifically, the lower cover assembly I includes a lower cover I1-8, and a heating rod 1-9, a temperature sensor 1-10 and a liquid level sensor 1-11 arranged in the lower cover I1-8. A drain valve 1-12 and a water outlet I1-13 are arranged on the side of the lower cover I1-8.

[0066] The heating rods 1-9 are used to heat the test liquid to the temperature required for the test.

[0067] The temperature sensors 1-10 are used to detect whether the temperature of the test liquid reaches a set value.

[0068] The liquid level sensor 1-11 is used to monitor the level change of the test liquid in the liquid storage tank body 1-1 in real time.

Therefore, the setting of the base 1-14 can also facilitate the connection of the heating rod 1-9, the temperature sensor 1-10 and the liquid level sensor 1-11 with the corresponding electrical components.

[0072] Preferably, sealing rings Ⅰ1-17 are respectively provided between the upper cover Ⅰ1-3 and the liquid storage tank body 1-1, and between the lower cover Ⅰ1-8 and the liquid storage tank body 1-1, so as to ensure the sealing of the liquid storage system 1.

[0073] like Figure 4 As shown, the rectification system 3 is designed to reduce the influence of turbulence and eddy current during the test of the steady-state flow test machine and ensure the accuracy of the test results.

[0087] In order to limit the movement of the rear end movable cavity 4-2, a limit stopper 4-9 is provided at one end of the linear guide rail 4-6 away from the front end fixed cavity 4-1.

[0088] In order to lock the rear movable cavity 4-2 with the front fixed cavity 4-1 and avoid the rear movable cavity 4-2 from moving randomly during the test, the front fixed cavity 4-1 and the rear movable cavity 4-2 are connected by a lock 4-10.

[0089] In this embodiment, two locks 4 - 10 are provided, located at the top and bottom of the test clamping system 4 respectively.

[0090] The lock buckle 4-10 includes a lock hook installed on the front fixed cavity 4-1, and a lock ring installed on the rear movable cavity 4-2. The lock ring can be locked on the lock hook and can also be detached from the lock hook.

[0096] When the test sample is replaced, a water receiving box 13 is provided below the test clamping system 4 to facilitate the recovery of the test liquid.

[0097] The water receiving box 13 is directly placed on the bottom plate 7 - 1 of the base 7 and is located below the test clamping system 4 .

[0098] When testing the forward flow:

[0099] Place a standard forward flow nozzle that meets the requirements of the reference GB / T12279.1-2024 standard into valve carrier 14. Install valve carrier 14 into test fixture 4 and secure latch 4-10. Before testing, close all ball valves and exhaust valves. Add an appropriate amount of test liquid to liquid reservoir 1, set the test liquid temperature, and activate the heating system to heat the test liquid using heating rods 1-9. Open rear-end ball valve 4-3 and inlet ball valve 3-1, start circulation pump 2, and slowly increase the flow rate of the test liquid. At this point, open all exhaust valves to exhaust the air in test fixture 4. After the temperature of the test liquid stabilizes, set the test flow rate within the standard flow range (5L / min-30L / min), increasing it in 5L / min increments. The signal fed back by forward flow sensor 8 detects whether the flow rate has reached the set value. If steady-state flow is not achieved, the test system controls circulation pump 23 to continue adjusting the flow rate to the set value. Front-end pressure sensor 4-13 and rear-end pressure sensor 4-14 detect the corresponding front-end and rear-end pressures at the current set flow rate and calculate the pressure differential. All test flows and the corresponding front-end and rear-end pressures and pressure differentials are recorded, and the flow and pressure differential curves are plotted and analyzed. Upon completion of the test, circulation pump 2 is stopped.

[0100] During reverse leakage test:

[0101] Place a standard anti-leakage nozzle that meets the requirements of the reference GB / T12279.1-2024 standard into valve carrier 14. Then, install valve carrier 14 into test fixture 4 and secure latches 4-10. Before testing, close all ball valves and exhaust valves. Add an appropriate amount of test liquid to liquid reservoir 1, set the test liquid temperature, and activate the heating system to heat the test liquid using heating rods 1-9. Open inlet ball valve 3-1 and anti-leakage ball valve 4-4, start circulation pump 2, and slowly increase the flow rate of the test liquid. At this point, open all exhaust valves to exhaust the air within test fixture 4. After the temperature of the test liquid stabilizes, the test differential pressure is set within the standard pressure differential range (40mmHg-200mmHg), increasing in 40mmHg increments. Front-end pressure sensor 4-13 and rear-end pressure sensor 4-14 are used to detect whether the differential pressure has reached the set value. If it has not reached steady-state flow, the test system controls circulation pump 2 to continue adjusting the flow rate to the set value. The corresponding leakage flow rate under the current set differential pressure is detected by anti-leakage flow sensor 9. All test flows and the corresponding front-end and rear-end pressures and differential pressures are recorded, and the flow and differential pressure curves are plotted and analyzed. Upon completion of the test, circulation pump 2 is stopped.

[0102] The above is the test of the standard nozzle in the GB / T12279.1-2024 standard, which is used to compare and analyze with the standard curve to determine the stability of the test system. The testing method for artificial heart valves is similar to that of the standard nozzle, that is, the test sample is replaced from the nozzle to the artificial heart valve.

[0103] Based on the above-mentioned ideal embodiment of the present invention, and in accordance with the above description, relevant personnel can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical scope of the present invention.
