Detailed Implementation

[0029] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making a clearer and more definite definition of the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] like Figure 1-8The diagram shows a filter tee structure for an infusion set according to this embodiment, which is applied to the infusion tubing of the infusion set. The filter tee structure includes a tee body 1, a filter assembly, a first connector 5, and a second connector 6. The tee body 1 includes a straight pipe section 11 and a bypass pipe section 12 that are interconnected. The first end of the straight pipe section 11 is an outlet, and the second end is an inlet. A connecting port is formed on the straight pipe section 11 that communicates with the bypass pipe section 12, and the end of the bypass pipe section 12 furthest from the connecting port forms an inlet. The medication can enter through the two inlets and exit through the outlet.

[0031] The aforementioned filter assembly includes a filter body 2, a first filter element 3, and a second filter element 4. The filter body 2 has a main flow channel 21 extending axially and a branch flow channel 22 extending from the outer wall and communicating with the main flow channel 21. The branch flow channel 22 extends radially along the filter body 2 and forms an opening on the outer wall of the filter body 2. The filter body 2 has a first slot 23 extending from the outer wall and cutting off the main flow channel 21, and a second slot 24 extending from the outer wall and cutting off the branch flow channel 22. Specifically, the extension direction of the first slot 23 is perpendicular to the central axis direction of the filter body 2, and the first slot 23 forms an insertion port on the outer wall of the filter body 2, while the end of the first slot 23 away from the insertion port forms a closed end. The extension direction of the second slot 24 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the branch flow channel 22. The second slot 24 forms an insertion port on the outer wall of the filter body 2, while the end of the second slot 24 away from the insertion port forms a closed end. The first filter element 3 is inserted into the first slot 23 through its insertion port, and the second filter element 4 is inserted into the second slot 24 through its insertion port. With this structural design, when the liquid medicine flows in the first flow channel 21, it can be filtered by the first filter element 3. When the liquid medicine flows in the second flow channel 22, it can be filtered by the second filter element 4. The second filter element 4 and the second filter element 5 are conventional components in the prior art.

[0032] The aforementioned filter body 2 has an assembly position that is axially inserted into the first end of the straight pipe section 11. In this assembly position, the outer wall of the filter body 2 is sealed to the inner wall of the straight pipe section 11, and the branch flow channel 22 communicates with the connecting port. Through this structural design, the channel within the straight pipe section 11 can communicate with the first flow channel 21, and the channel within the bypass pipe section 12 can communicate with the second flow channel 22. Specifically, a threaded section is machined on the outer wall of the filter body 2, and a mating threaded section is machined on the inner wall of the straight pipe section 11. The filter body 2 and the straight pipe section 11 are connected by a threaded seal through the threaded section and the mating threaded section. The aforementioned threaded section has threaded portions distributed on the outer side of the second slot 24, so that a seal is formed between the outer side of the second slot 24 and the straight pipe section 11 during assembly to prevent leakage.

[0033] In this embodiment, a stepped structure is machined on the filter body 2. When the filter body 2 moves to the assembly position, the stepped structure abuts against the straight pipe section 11 to limit its movement.

[0034] In the aforementioned assembly position, the first filter element 3 is close to the second end of the straight pipe section 11, and the second filter element 4 is far away from the second end of the straight pipe section 11, so that the filtration operations of the first filter element 3 and the second filter element 4 do not interfere with each other.

[0035] The aforementioned first pipe connector 5 is threadedly connected to the filter body 2 and communicates with one end of the main channel 21, allowing the medicine to be discharged through the first pipe connector 5. The second pipe connector 6 is threadedly connected to the end of the bypass section 12 away from the communication port and the second end of the straight pipe section 11, allowing the medicine to enter the bypass section 12 and the straight pipe section 11 through the two second pipe connectors 6 respectively.

[0036] In this embodiment, in the specific structural design, a first frame 31 is arranged around the outer periphery of the first filter 3 to support the first filter 3; the first frame 31 is tightly inserted into the first slot 23. A first arc-shaped surface 311 is machined on the outer edge of the first frame 31 facing the first slot 23. In this assembly position, the first arc-shaped surface 311 is clearance-fitted with the inner wall of the straight pipe section 11, thereby confining the first frame 31 within the first slot 23. A second frame 41 is arranged around the outer periphery of the second filter 4 to support the second filter 4. The second frame 41 is tightly inserted into the second slot 24. A second arc-shaped surface 411 is machined on the outer edge of the second frame 41 facing the second slot 24. In the aforementioned assembly position, the second arc-shaped surface 411 is clearance-fitted with the inner wall of the straight pipe section 11, thereby confining the second frame 41 within the second slot 24. With the above assembly method, when the filter body 2 is in the assembly position, the first filter 3 and the second filter 4 can be limited in the first slot 23 and the second slot 24 through the inner wall of the straight pipe section 11, so that the first filter 3 and the second filter 4 are assembled stably and reliably.

[0037] In use, the liquid medicine enters through the second end of the straight pipe section 11, then enters the first flow channel 21 and exits from the first pipe joint 5. Alternatively, the liquid medicine enters through one end of the bypass pipe section 12, then enters the first flow channel 21 through the connecting second flow channel 22, and exits from the first pipe joint 5. During the above process, the first filter 3 can filter the liquid medicine in the straight pipe section 11, and the second filter 4 can filter the liquid medicine in the bypass pipe section 12.

[0038] During disassembly and assembly, the filter body 2 is removed from the straight pipe section 11 by screwing it on. The first filter element 3 and the second filter element 4 are then pulled out from the insertion ports on the outer wall of the filter body 2, and new second filter elements 4 and 4 are inserted. The entire assembly is then screwed back into the straight pipe section 11. This combination of methods allows for the simultaneous removal and replacement of the first filter element 3 and the second filter element 4 by disassembling the filter body 2 from the straight pipe section 11. This enables simultaneous disassembly and replacement of the filter elements in both channels of the three-way body 1, making filter element removal and assembly convenient, time-saving, and labor-saving, effectively meeting practical application needs. The first filter element 3 and the second filter element 4 are respectively assembled onto the filter body 2 via a plug-in connection, enabling quick disassembly and assembly of the first filter element 3 and the second filter element 4.

Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
