[0044] The utility model is further explained in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments, so that the person skilled in the art can better understand the utility model and can be implemented, but the embodiment is not as the limitation of the utility model.

[0045] Refer to Figures 1-4 The bionic elastic curved pipe duodenum system of the utility model, including: turntable 1, stomach model 2, duodenum model 3 and small intestine model 4 several parts;The turntable 1 makes the circumferential motion around the center;The stomach model 2 is arranged on the turntable 1, and the turntable 1 drives the stomach model 2 to rotate;The duodenum model 3 includes soft pipe 31 and spring 32, one end of the soft pipe 31 is connected with the output end of the stomach model 2, and the other end of the soft pipe 31 is connected with the small intestine model 4, the spring 32 is sleeved on the soft pipe 31, the connecting point of the soft pipe 31 and the stomach model 2 is the moving point, the connecting point of the soft pipe 31 and the small intestine model 4 is fixed, and the spring 32 is arranged in the form of "S".

[0046] This model is suitable for dynamic human gastrointestinal digestion equipment and is an important part of the whole simulation digestion system.The stomach model 2 is connected to the upper part, receives chyme, gastric juice and intestinal juice after digestion in the stomach and carries out digestion in the model;The small intestine model 4 is connected to the lower part, and the chyme after a period of digestion is discharged into the small intestine model 4.Therefore, this model is a very important digestion place and a channel connecting the upper and lower parts.

[0047] Specifically, the hose 31 is a white silica gel hose, and the hose 31 is integrally formed.

[0048] Referring to Figure 3 As shown in the drawings, the hose 31 includes two parts of a first hose body 311 and a second hose body 312, the first hose body 311 and the second hose body 312 are connected together to be an elongated tubular shape, one end of the first hose body 311 is connected with the stomach model 2, and the connection point of the first hose body 311 and the stomach model 2 is a movable point, one end of the second hose body 312 is connected with the small intestine model 4, and the connection point of the second hose body 312 and the small intestine model 4 is fixed, the spring 32 is nested outside the second hose body 312, and the connection point of the first hose body 311 and the outer circumference of the turntable 1 is fixed. The specific fixing structure of the hose 31 is that the connection point of the first hose body 311 and the stomach model 2, i.e. Figure 1 Point A in the middle can move with the turntable 1, the connection point of the first hose body 311 and the outer circumference of the turntable 1, i.e. Figure 1 Point B in the middle is a relatively fixed point (B point is relatively fixed with the turntable 1, but B point rotates with the turntable 1), and the connection point of the second hose body 312 and the small intestine model 4, i.e. Figure 1 Point C in the middle is also fixed. The stomach model 2 and the first hose body 311 will rotate with the turntable 1, and C point is fixed, so when the turntable 1 rotates, it will cause the duodenum model 3 to be folded, and the spring 32 can effectively avoid the folding problem of the duodenum model 3.

The inner diameter of the spring 32 is 1.5mm, and the length of the spring 32 is 800mm. The diameter of the cross section of the steel wire used in the spring 32 is 1.5mm, and the thread tightness of the spring 32 is about 1cm.

[0054] In addition, the length of the reducing joint 313 is 100mm.

[0055] The use principle of the bionic elastic elbow pipe duodenum system of the utility model is as follows:

[0056] When the duodenum model 3 is installed on the whole system, firstly, the upper part of the duodenum model 3 is passed through the duodenum valve of the whole system from bottom to top, sequentially passes through the duodenum extrusion plate of the whole system, and is connected with the stomach model 2. The spring 32 is clamped by using the clamp at the reducing joint 313, the lower part of the duodenum model 3 is clamped into the clamping groove, the spring 32 is in S shape as a whole, and the duodenum model 3 is connected with the small intestine model 4.

[0057] After the food sample enters the duodenum model 3, the food sample is mixed and digested with the intestinal fluid simulation liquid at the duodenum extrusion plate, and then the duodenum valve is opened, the food sample flows into the second hose body 312 part with the spring elbow pipe, and can slowly flow into the small intestine model 4 along the pipeline path.

[0058] Obviously, the above embodiments are only examples for clearly illustrating the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Based on the above description, other different forms of changes or variations can be made by those skilled in the art. Here, all the embodiments are not required to be enumerated. The obvious changes or variations derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of the present application.
