Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical devices, and in particular to a sealing test device for a medical bag interface component and its testing fixture. Background Technology

[0002] Medical bags include products such as urine bags, infusion bags, and oxygen bags. They mainly consist of bags made of soft materials and interface components connected to the bag opening. The bags are typically made of multi-layer co-extruded film, and the interface components include combination caps and interface fittings.

[0003] Taking large-volume infusion bags as an example, the composite cap is typically composed of an outer cap, a rubber gasket, and an inner cap. An interface fitting is fixed to the bag opening and connects to the opening of the composite cap. The manufacturing process involves bag making, interface welding, medication filling, sealing the composite cap and interface by welding, and checking the weld seal to ultimately form a sealed infusion bag. However, if a through-weld defect occurs during the welding process between the composite cap and the interface fitting, leakage may occur. Although a high-voltage discharge microporous inspection machine can remove leaking defective products, in cases of welding defects (such as a well-welded inner cap but a weld gap in the outer cap), these defects may go undetected because there is no obvious leakage problem. However, in clinical use, if the syringe penetrates the inner cap, the medication may leak from the poorly welded area, seriously affecting infusion safety.

[0004] Therefore, how to quickly, easily, and effectively test the sealing integrity of the interface components of medical bags has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in the production process of medical bags. Utility Model Content

[0015] In an optional embodiment, the upper surface edge of the chassis is provided with an assembly groove extending circumferentially along the chassis, and the lower end of the outer cover peripheral wall abuts against the interior of the assembly groove.

[0016] In an optional embodiment, a sealing element is provided between the lower end of the peripheral wall of the outer cover and the inner wall of the assembly groove, and the sealing element is fixed to the peripheral wall of the outer cover or to the groove wall of the assembly groove.

[0044] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, outlines some embodiments of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0045] Example 1

[0046] This embodiment provides a sealing performance testing device for medical bag interface components, including a sealing tester and testing fixtures. Specifically, the sealing tester is a prior art technology mainly used to monitor and evaluate the sealing quality of products, ensuring that the product can effectively prevent the entry of external substances (such as air, moisture, etc.) or the leakage of internal substances. This instrument typically determines whether a sample is leaking by monitoring changes in gas flow rate. The sealing tester has an inflation unit, a gas flow rate detection unit, an inflation interface connected to the inflation unit, and an inlet interface connected to the gas flow rate detection unit.

[0047] This embodiment features a specially designed testing fixture that works in conjunction with the aforementioned sealing tester to form a sealing performance testing device for medical bag interface components. (Refer to...) Figures 1 to 10The testing fixture includes a chassis 1, a fixture air outlet pipe 2, and an outer cover 3. An air inlet pipe 4 is connected to the outer cover 3. Specifically: the upper surface of the chassis 1 has a detection acupoint 11, and an elastic sealing ring (not shown) for mating with the medical bag interface assembly 100 is fixed inside the detection acupoint 11; a gas channel 12 communicating with the detection acupoint 11 is provided inside the chassis 1. One end of the fixture air outlet pipe 2 is connected to the gas channel 12, and the other end forms an air outlet, which is used to connect to the air inlet interface of the sealing tester. The outer cover 3 covers the outside of the chassis 1 and is sealed to the chassis 1. The detection acupoint 11 is located inside the outer cover 3. An air inlet is provided on the outer cover 3 and connected to the fixture air inlet pipe 4, which is used to connect to the inflation interface of the sealing tester.

[0048] The testing method is as follows: The interface component 100 to be tested is placed upside down on the detection acupoint 11, forming a seal between the elastic sealing ring and the detection acupoint 11. The outer cover 3 is placed over the chassis 1 and sealed to it. The tooling inlet pipe 4 is connected to the inflation port of the sealing tester, and the outlet of the tooling outlet pipe 2 is connected to the inlet port of the sealing tester. The sealing tester is started, and its inflation unit introduces gas (applying a gas source pressure of 3.0 kg) into the outer cover through the inflation port. This is maintained for a period of time, and the gas flow rate is monitored using its gas flow rate detection unit. If the gas flow rate is ≤1 ml / min, the interface component 100 is considered to have good sealing performance; if the gas flow rate is ≥1 ml / min, leakage is indicated.

[0049] This embodiment enables rapid, simple, and effective testing of the sealing integrity of the medical bag interface assembly. Furthermore, the structure of this embodiment, through the mating of the elastic sealing ring with the medical bag interface assembly 100, effectively adapts to interface assemblies 100 of different sizes or shapes, reducing the risk of leakage and improving the reliability of the sealing test.

[0050] Furthermore:

[0051] In an optional embodiment of this example, multiple detection acupoints 11 are provided, and all of the multiple detection acupoints 11 are connected to the gas channel 12. The design of multiple detection acupoints 11 allows for the simultaneous detection of multiple medical bag interface components 100, which can significantly improve production efficiency and is especially suitable for large-scale production scenarios.

[0052] Furthermore, multiple gas channels 12 and tooling outlet pipes 2 are preferably provided, with each gas channel 12 corresponding to a specific detection point 11, and each tooling outlet pipe 2 corresponding to a specific gas channel 12. Each detection point 11 corresponds to an independent gas channel 12 and tooling outlet pipe 2, which can avoid gas interference between adjacent detection points and ensure that the detection results of each interface component 100 are independent and accurate.

[0053] In an optional embodiment of this invention, the upper surface edge of the chassis 1 is provided with an assembly groove 13 extending circumferentially along the chassis 1, and the lower end of the peripheral wall of the outer cover 3 abuts against the interior of the assembly groove 13. The design of the assembly groove 13 makes the connection between the outer cover 3 and the chassis 1 more stable, ensuring that no gaps are generated between the outer cover 3 and the chassis 1 during operation, ensuring that the outer cover 3 always covers the detection acupoint 11 to form a closed space, reducing the influence of external airflow on gas detection, and further improving the sensitivity of the sealing test.

[0054] In an optional embodiment of this invention, a sealing element is provided between the lower end of the peripheral wall of the outer cover 3 and the inner wall of the assembly groove 13. The sealing element is fixed to the peripheral wall of the outer cover 3 or to the groove wall of the assembly groove 13. Adding a sealing element (including but not limited to a rubber gasket) between the assembly groove and the outer cover can effectively seal the tiny gaps at the connection, prevent the test gas from escaping, and ensure the accuracy of the test results.

[0055] In an optional embodiment of this invention, the chassis 1 is provided with multiple support legs 5 at its lower end. The support legs 5 are designed to provide additional support for the chassis 1, preventing tilting or shaking caused by uneven ground or external forces during the testing process, and ensuring the stability of the testing data.

[0056] Secondly, this utility model also provides a sealing performance testing fixture for a medical bag interface assembly, applicable to any of the optional embodiments of the first aspect of the aforementioned medical bag interface assembly sealing performance testing device. The fixture includes a base 1, a fixture vent pipe 2, and an outer cover 3. The upper surface of the base 1 is provided with a detection acupoint 11, and an elastic sealing ring for docking with the medical bag interface assembly 100 is fixed inside the detection acupoint 11. A gas channel 12 is provided inside the base 1, and the detection acupoint 11 communicates with the gas channel 12. One end of the fixture vent pipe 2 communicates with the gas channel 12, and the other end forms an air outlet. The outer cover 3 covers the outside of the base 1 and is sealed to the base 1. The detection acupoint 11 is located inside the outer cover 3, and an air inlet is provided on the outer cover 3, to which a fixture air inlet pipe 4 is connected. Its usage and beneficial effects are described in the relevant section of the first aspect.

[0057] Finally, it should be noted that the various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on the differences from other embodiments. Similar or identical parts between embodiments can be referred to mutually. The above embodiments in this specification are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features. These modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of this utility model.
