AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing infusion filters can easily introduce air into the body when medication enters, posing a health risk. They are also complex to operate, requiring inversion to vent air, which can easily lead to air residue due to improper operation.

Method used

The infusion filter is equipped with a baffle to divide the inlet chamber into an upper chamber and a lower chamber, and is also equipped with upper and lower vent membranes and baffles. The medicine first enters the upper chamber for filtration and then the air in the upper chamber is discharged before entering the lower chamber, thus avoiding inverted operation.

Benefits of technology

This allows for the expulsion of air from the liquid without inverting the container, simplifying operation, preventing air from entering the body, and improving safety and ease of use.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The utility model will be further described below with specific embodiments, referring to Figure 1 -7:

[0030] A kind of infusion filter, including shell 1 and the filter membrane 2 being arranged in shell 1, the filter membrane 2 will be divided into liquid inlet cavity 3 and liquid outlet cavity 4 by the cavity in shell 1, the shell 1 is equipped with the liquid inlet pipe 5 being communicated with liquid inlet cavity 3 and the liquid outlet pipe 6 being communicated with liquid outlet cavity 4, the shell 1 is equipped with the partition plate 7 being divided into upper cavity 3a and lower cavity 3b by liquid inlet cavity 3, the liquid inlet pipe 5 is communicated with upper cavity 3a, the shell 1 is equipped with the upper air vent 8 being communicated with upper cavity 3a and the lower air vent 9 being communicated with lower cavity 3b, the upper air vent 8 inside is equipped with upper water resistance and permeable membrane 10, lower air vent 9 inside is equipped with lower water resistance and permeable membrane 11.

[0031] In the embodiment, front-rear direction is longitudinal direction, up-down direction is vertical direction, left-right direction is horizontal direction.

[0032] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: Figures 1-7 As shown in the drawing, liquid medicine enters upper cavity 3a through liquid inlet pipe 5 first, then enters the upper part of liquid outlet cavity 4 after being filtered by filter membrane 2, and then flows to the lower part of liquid outlet cavity 5, part of the liquid medicine flows to lower cavity 3b through filter membrane 2, and the other part of the liquid medicine is discharged through liquid outlet pipe 6, the air in liquid outlet cavity 5 is discharged through liquid outlet pipe 6, the air in upper cavity 3a is discharged through upper water resistance and permeable membrane 10, and the air in lower cavity 3b is discharged through lower water resistance and permeable membrane 11.

[0033] This invention features a partition 7 inside the housing 1 that divides the inlet chamber 3 into an upper chamber 3a and a lower chamber 3b. This allows the medicine filtered by the filter membrane 2 to first enter the upper part of the outlet chamber 5, expelling the air in the upper part of the outlet chamber 5. Then, the medicine flows into the lower part of the outlet chamber 5, expelling the air in the lower part of the outlet chamber 5. This eliminates the need to invert the infusion filter to expel the air from the outlet chamber 5, thereby filling the filter cavity with medicine. This facilitates operation and prevents the presence of air in the filter that could affect human health due to improper operation or negligence.

[0034] In order to ensure that the liquid medicine flowing out of the inlet pipe 5 flows evenly into the upper cavity 3a, so that the liquid medicine in the upper cavity 3a is evenly distributed and the filtration effect of the filter membrane 2 is good, such as... Figures 3-6 As shown, a baffle strip 12 is provided between the upper cavity 3a and the inlet pipe 5. The baffle strip 12 has flow holes 13 connecting the upper cavity 3a and the inlet pipe 5. Two or more flow holes 13 are spaced apart along the length of the baffle strip 12. The liquid medicine flows through the flow holes 13 into the upper cavity 3a, preventing the liquid medicine from concentrating in the middle of the upper cavity 3a. In this embodiment, three flow holes 13 are spaced apart along the length of the baffle strip 12.

[0035] Furthermore, the flow deflector 12 is arranged in a horizontal direction.

[0036] Structure of housing 1: The housing 1 includes a front cover 1a and a rear cover 1b. The partition 7 and the baffle 12 are both disposed on the front cover 1a and are integral with the front cover 1a. The liquid inlet pipe 5 is disposed on the upper end of the rear cover 1b, and the liquid outlet pipe 6 is disposed on the lower end of the rear cover 1b. The liquid inlet pipe 5 and the liquid outlet pipe 6 are integral with the rear cover 1b. A liquid passage chamber 14 is formed between the front cover 1a and the rear cover 1b, located above the baffle 12. The liquid inlet pipe 5 is connected to the liquid passage chamber 14. The flow passage hole 13 is connected to the liquid passage chamber 14 and the upper cavity 3a. The liquid inlet chamber 3 is formed between the front cover 1a, the baffle 12 and the filter membrane 2. The liquid outlet chamber 4 is formed between the rear cover 1b and the filter membrane 2.

[0037] In order to ensure that the medicine in the dispensing chamber 4 is evenly distributed, such as Figure 7 As shown, the front cover 1a is provided with a front mounting frame 15 that is sealed to the filter membrane 2. The front cover 1a, the flow deflector 12, the front mounting frame 15 and the filter membrane 2 form the liquid inlet chamber 3. The rear shell 1b is provided with a rear mounting frame 16 that is sealed to the filter membrane 2. The rear shell 1b, the rear mounting frame 16 and the filter membrane 2 form the liquid outlet chamber 4. The rear mounting frame 16 is provided with a plurality of flow dividers 17.

[0039] Preferably, the thickness of the diversion rib 17 is 0.8mm-1.2mm. In this embodiment, the thickness of the diversion rib 17 is 1mm, which allows the liquid in the outlet chamber 4 to flow from the top to the bottom along the inner wall of the rear shell 1b, and the flow speed is fast.

[0040] Installation structure of the upper water-blocking and breathable membrane 10 and the lower water-blocking and breathable membrane 11: as follows Figures 1-6 As shown, the front cover 1a has an outwardly protruding upper mounting strip 18 and a lower mounting strip 19. The upper vent 8 is located on the upper mounting strip 18, and the lower vent 9 is located on the lower mounting strip 19. The inner surface of the upper mounting strip 18 is recessed towards the side away from the filter membrane 2 to form an upper venting groove 20. The upper water-resistant and breathable membrane 10 covers the upper venting groove 20. The inner surface of the lower mounting strip 19 is recessed towards the side away from the filter membrane 2 to form a lower venting groove 21. The lower water-resistant and breathable membrane 11 covers the lower venting groove 21. Air in the upper cavity 3a enters the upper venting groove 20 through the upper water-resistant and breathable membrane 10 and then exits through the upper venting hole 8. Air in the lower cavity 3b enters the lower venting groove 21 through the lower water-resistant and breathable membrane 11 and then exits through the lower venting hole 9.

[0041] Furthermore, the upper water-blocking and breathable membrane 10, the lower water-blocking and breathable membrane 11, and the filter membrane 2 are all fixed to the front cover 1a by welding.

[0042] For better air venting, the upper mounting strip 18 and the lower mounting strip 19 are both arranged horizontally along their length. There are two upper exhaust holes 8, which are located at the left and right ends of the upper mounting strip 18, respectively. There are two lower exhaust holes 9, which are located at the left and right ends of the lower mounting strip 19, respectively.

[0043] Furthermore, the partition 7 is positioned slightly above the center of the housing 1. In this embodiment, the partition 7 is positioned at one-third of the distance from the top to the bottom of the housing 1.

[0044] The above embodiments are only one of the preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the shape, structure and principle of this utility model should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
