Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hollow fiber membrane technology, and specifically to a hollow fiber membrane filter element unit. Background Technology
[0002] Hollow fiber membrane filter units are the core separation components of hemodialysis equipment. Through the fine filtration of the hollow fiber membrane tube, they remove metabolic toxins such as urea and creatinine from the blood while retaining beneficial components such as proteins and red blood cells. This directly affects the safety and effectiveness of hemodialysis treatment. In hemodialysis settings, filter units must meet core requirements such as high biocompatibility, strict aseptic properties, stable filtration accuracy, and convenient assembly and maintenance. Assembly performance not only affects production efficiency but is also closely related to safety and operability in clinical applications.
[0003] In existing technologies, the connection between hollow fiber membrane tubes and end-mount components often employs adhesive bonding, thermoforming welding, or multiple bolt fastening methods. Adhesive bonding requires steps such as applying adhesive and waiting for curing, which is not only time-consuming but also carries the risk of adhesive residue affecting blood compatibility. Furthermore, the curing process can easily generate microbubbles, creating blood stasis dead zones and increasing the risk of thrombosis. Thermoforming welding requires extremely precise temperature control; improper operation can easily lead to membrane tube melting and deformation, damaging the filtration channel. Moreover, the welded membrane tube cannot be separated from the end-mount component, requiring the entire tube to be scrapped for subsequent repairs or replacements, significantly increasing medical costs. Multiple bolt fastening methods require tightening each bolt individually in a sterile environment, a cumbersome procedure with low assembly efficiency. Loose bolts can also cause serious safety hazards such as blood leakage. In addition, hemodialysis equipment requires regular disinfection, maintenance, and filter replacement. Existing assembly structures are difficult to disassemble, preventing rapid separation of the membrane tube from the end-mount component, increasing the complexity of clinical operations, and the disassembly process can easily damage the membrane tube, leading to secondary contamination risks.
[0004] The inconvenience of assembling and maintaining existing hollow fiber membrane filter units has become a key bottleneck restricting the safety, economy, and efficiency of their clinical application, given the specific needs of hemodialysis. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a filter unit structure that is simple in structure, easy to assemble, flexible in disassembly, and reliable in connection, suitable for hemodialysis scenarios.

[0037] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0038] Example:
[0039] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment discloses a hollow fiber membrane filter element unit, including a pair of end mounting assemblies 11 and a plurality of hollow fiber membrane tubes 12. The plurality of hollow fiber membrane tubes 12 are disposed between the pair of end mounting assemblies 11, and both ends are detachably connected to the pair of end mounting assemblies 11 respectively.
[0040] The end-mounting assembly 11 includes a connecting housing 13, a connecting end 14, and a locking sleeve 15. One end of the connecting housing 13 has a fixing slot 16, and the connecting housing 13 is adapted to be detachably fixed within the outer housing 10 of the dialyzer. The end of the connecting housing 13 with the fixing slot 16 faces outwards from the outer housing 10. The connecting end 14 is disposed within the fixing slot 16 and is inserted into the fixing slot 16. The connecting end 14 has several connecting slots 17 penetrating through it, and each of the connecting slots 17 contains a connecting structure 18. The connecting structure 18 is inserted into the connecting slot 17. Both ends of several hollow fiber membrane tubes 12 pass through the connecting shell 13 in a pair of end mounting assemblies 11 and are fixedly connected to the connecting structure 18. The hollow fiber membrane tubes 12 are slidably connected to the connecting shell 13. One end of the locking sleeve 15 is set in the fixing slot 16 and is threadedly connected to the fixing slot 16. The end of the locking sleeve 15 located in the fixing slot 16 abuts against the connecting end 14 and the connecting structure 18. The locking sleeve 15 is provided with a communication port 19 that cooperates with several hollow fiber membrane tubes 12.
[0041] The connecting shell 13 is detachably connected to the inner wall of the dialyzer outer shell 10, facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the entire hollow fiber membrane filter unit and the dialyzer outer shell 10. For example, a threaded connection can be used. The fixing slot 16 provides insertion and positioning space for the connecting end 14. The connecting slot 17 of the connecting end 14, in conjunction with the connecting structure 18, enables the pre-installation of the hollow fiber membrane tube 12. The locking sleeve 15, through a threaded connection with the fixing slot 16, has its end pressed against the connecting end 14 and the connecting structure 18 to complete the fixation. The connecting port 19 ensures smooth blood flow. The threaded connection design enables quick assembly and disassembly of the filter unit and dialyzer. The combination of insertion and threaded locking allows assembly to be completed by sequentially inserting and tightening, while disassembly only requires loosening the locking sleeve 15. This simple and efficient operation, combined with the tightness and clamping effect of the threaded connection, ensures the stability of the connections between components, effectively avoiding the risk of blood leakage. This solves the problems of low assembly efficiency, safety risks, and inconvenient maintenance of current hollow fiber membrane filter units for hemodialysis.
[0042] To facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the connecting structure 18 and the hollow fiber membrane tube 12, this embodiment is an improvement on the above embodiment. The difference from the above embodiment is that the connecting structure 18 includes a connecting tube head 20 and a plug tube head 21. The connecting tube head 20 is sleeved on one end of the hollow fiber membrane tube 12 and is fixedly connected to the hollow fiber membrane tube 12. The plug tube head 21 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting tube head 20 and is threadedly connected to the connecting tube head 20. The plug tube head 21 is slidably connected to the hollow fiber membrane tube 12. The plug tube head 21 is inserted into the connecting groove 17 and is detachably connected to the connecting groove 17.
[0043] The connecting tube head 20 is fixedly sleeved on the end of the hollow fiber membrane tube 12, providing a connection base for the hollow fiber membrane tube 12. The fixing method can be existing fixing connection methods such as adhesive bonding or heat fusion. The insert tube head 21 is threaded onto the outside of the connecting tube head 20 and engages with the connecting groove 17, realizing a detachable connection between the hollow fiber membrane tube 12 and the end mounting assembly 11. The sliding connection between the insert tube head 21 and the hollow fiber membrane tube 12 adapts to installation and adjustment requirements. The threaded connection of the connecting tube head 20 and the insert tube head 21 strengthens the connection between the hollow fiber membrane tube 12 and the connecting structure 18. The detachable design facilitates later maintenance or replacement of the hollow fiber membrane tube 12, avoiding the scrapping of the entire filter element due to damage to a single hollow fiber membrane tube 12, reducing usage costs. Simultaneously, the sliding engagement reduces mechanical damage to the hollow fiber membrane tube 12 during installation, improving assembly safety.
[0044] The hollow fiber membrane tube 12 has a tube head mounting part 22 at each end, which is configured to cooperate with the connecting tube head 20. The connecting tube head 20 is sleeved on the outside of the tube head mounting part 22 and is fixedly connected to the tube head mounting part 22. The outer wall of the connecting tube head 20 is flush with the outer wall of the hollow fiber membrane tube 12. One end of the insertion tube head 21 is threadedly connected to the connecting tube head 20, and the other end extends to the outside of one end of the hollow fiber membrane tube 12 and is slidably connected to the hollow fiber membrane tube 12.
[0045] The tube head mounting portions 22 at both ends of the hollow fiber membrane tube 12 provide precise installation positioning for the connecting tube head 20. After the connecting tube head 20 is fitted, it is flush with the outer wall of the hollow fiber membrane tube 12. One end of the insertion tube head 21 is threaded and fastened to the connecting tube head 20, and the other end extends to the outside of the hollow fiber membrane tube 12 and maintains a sliding connection, forming a stepped connection structure. The tube head mounting portions 22 ensure the flatness and coaxiality of the connecting tube head 20 during installation, avoiding damage caused by uneven stress on the end of the hollow fiber membrane tube 12. The design of the connecting tube head 20 being flush with the outer wall of the hollow fiber membrane tube 12 reduces fluid resistance and prevents blood from stagnating at the connection. The extension structure of the insertion tube head 21 further enhances the connection stability and improves the reliability of the connection between the hollow fiber membrane tube 12 and the connection structure 18.
[0046] To facilitate the installation of the connecting end 14 and the locking sleeve 15, this embodiment is an improvement on the above embodiment. The difference from the above embodiment is that the fixing slot 16 includes a lower slot 23 and an upper slot 24. The lower slot 23 is connected to the upper slot 24, and the upper slot 24 is located above the lower slot 23. The connecting end 14 is set in the lower slot 23 and inserted into the lower slot 23. One end of the locking sleeve 15 is set in the upper slot 24 and threadedly connected to the upper slot 24. The locking sleeve 15 is used to fix the connecting end 14 in the lower slot 23.
[0047] The fixed slot 16 is divided into a lower slot 23 and an upper slot 24 that are interconnected. The lower slot 23 is adapted for the insertion and positioning of the connecting end 14, while the upper slot 24 provides threaded connection space for the locking sleeve 15. The layered design separates the positioning of the connecting end 14 from the fixing function of the locking sleeve 15. The layered structure makes the installation path of each component clear, improves the orderliness of assembly, and avoids mutual interference between components during installation. The limiting effect of the lower slot 23 on the connecting end 14 ensures the installation accuracy, while the threaded fit of the upper slot 24 ensures the fastening effect of the locking sleeve 15. The two work together to improve the assembly stability of the overall structure and prevent component displacement during use.
[0048] As a further preferred embodiment, a first sealing ring 25 is provided inside the lower groove 23. The first sealing ring 25 is sleeved on the lower end of the connecting end 14, with one side of the first sealing ring 25 contacting the inner wall of the lower groove 23 and the other side contacting the outer wall of the connecting end 14. The provision of the first sealing ring 25 can effectively improve the sealing performance between the connecting end 14 and the lower groove 23.
[0049] As a further preferred embodiment, a second sealing ring 26 is provided within the connecting groove 17. The second sealing ring 26 is sleeved on the outside of the connector 21, with one side of the second sealing ring 26 contacting the inner wall of the connecting groove 17 and the other side contacting the outer wall of the connector 21. The provision of the second sealing ring 26 can effectively improve the sealing performance between the connector 21 and the connecting groove 17.
[0050] To optimize the blood flow path, this embodiment is an improvement on the above embodiment. The difference from the above embodiment is that one end of the locking sleeve 15 in one end mounting assembly 11 is provided with a liquid inlet distribution chamber 27 communicating with the connecting port 19, and the other end mounting assembly 11 is provided with a liquid outlet collection chamber 28 communicating with the connecting port 19.
[0051] The locking sleeves 15 of the two end mounting components 11 are respectively provided with an inlet distribution chamber 27 and an outlet collection chamber 28, both of which are connected to the connecting port 19. The inlet distribution chamber 27 evenly distributes the input blood to each hollow fiber membrane tube 12, and the outlet collection chamber 28 collects and discharges the blood processed by each membrane tube. The design of the inlet distribution chamber 27 and the outlet collection chamber 28 optimizes the blood flow path, ensuring that each hollow fiber membrane tube 12 can fully contact the blood, avoiding excessive local membrane tube load or blood stagnation, and improving dialysis efficiency and effect. At the same time, the centralized inlet and outlet structure simplifies the tubing connection with the dialyzer, reduces the number of tubing interfaces, and further reduces the risk of leakage.
[0052] As a further preferred embodiment, the locking sleeve 15 is provided with a pair of third sealing rings 29, which are respectively embedded and installed at both ends of the locking sleeve 15, with the third sealing ring 29 at one end of the locking sleeve 15 contacting the connecting end 14. The provision of the third sealing rings 29 can improve the sealing performance between the liquid inlet distribution chamber 27 and the liquid outlet collection chamber 28.
[0053] To facilitate the installation and removal of the locking sleeve 15, this embodiment is an improvement on the above embodiment. The difference from the above embodiment is that the locking sleeve 15 is provided with a rotating groove 30 in the middle, and a number of protruding ribs 31 are fixedly provided in the rotating groove 30.
[0054] The rotating groove 30 in the middle of the locking sleeve 15 provides space for the hand or tool to apply force, and the raised rib 31 in the rotating groove 30 increases the friction of the force application surface to prevent slippage during rotation. This design can still provide sufficient rotational torque even when wearing gloves or in a sterile operating environment to ensure that the locking sleeve can be reliably tightened, avoiding improper installation or operational contamination caused by slippage.
[0055] To avoid the hollow fiber membrane tubes 12 from tangling with each other, this embodiment is an improvement on the above embodiment. The difference from the above embodiment is that one hollow fiber membrane tube 12 is located in the middle, and the other hollow fiber membrane tubes 12 are arranged around the hollow fiber membrane tube 12 located in the middle.
[0056] In one embodiment, the number of hollow fiber membrane tubes 12 is seven.
[0057] Seven hollow fiber membrane tubes 12 are used, with one located in the center and the other six arranged around it, forming a uniform and symmetrical layout. This arrangement facilitates space utilization and ensures a large contact area between the blood and the hollow fiber membrane tubes 12. The circular arrangement of the seven hollow fiber membrane tubes 12 increases the effective dialysis area within a limited space, resulting in more uniform blood distribution and improved dialysis efficiency. The central and circular layout also prevents the hollow fiber membrane tubes 12 from tangling with each other.
[0058] Working principle of this utility model:
[0059] This invention achieves rapid assembly and disassembly of the hollow fiber membrane filter unit and the outer shell 10 of the dialyzer through a detachable connection between the connecting shell 13 and the outer shell 10 of the dialyzer. Simultaneously, the insertion and engagement of the connecting end 14 with the fixing slot 16, and the insertion and engagement of the connecting structure 18 with the connecting slot 17, allow the two ends of the hollow fiber membrane tube 12 to be pre-positioned and installed via the connecting structure 18 and the connecting end 14. The locking sleeve 15 is then threadedly connected to the fixing slot 16, with its end abutting against the connecting end 14 and the connecting structure 18 to secure them. The connecting port 19 ensures unobstructed blood flow. This invention, through the combination of insertion and threaded locking, achieves a detachable connection between the hollow fiber membrane tube 12 and the end mounting assembly 11. Assembly is simple and efficient; insertion and threaded locking are performed sequentially. Disassembly allows for quick separation of components by loosening the locking sleeve 15. The threaded connection and abutment ensure the stability and sealing of the connection, effectively mitigating the risk of blood leakage.
