Fluid Surge Diversion Element for Medical Receiving Apparatus
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing medical fluid receiving devices face challenges in managing fluid flow, leading to turbulence, gas inclusions, and foam formation, which can result in inefficient fluid exchange and inaccurate measurements during filling and emptying processes.
Innovation Solution
A receiving device equipped with a fluid surge deflection element, such as a flow-around body, that redirects and divides the incoming fluid surge into separate partial flows, minimizing turbulence and gas inclusion, and optimizing fluid exchange by arranging the flow-around body symmetrically within the inflow area to ensure complete fluid entry and exit.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional receiving devices are used for fluid intake, then fluid can be received, but turbulence and gas inclusions occur leading to inaccurate measurements
Solution Approach 1:
The incoming fluid surge is divided into multiple partial flows by the flow-around body, which segments the single large flow into several smaller flows that can be managed more effectively, reducing turbulence and gas inclusion formation
Solution Approach 2:
The flow-around body acts as an intermediary element between the incoming fluid and the receiving device interior, modifying the fluid flow characteristics before it enters the main chamber to prevent harmful flow patterns
2Productivity
If rapid fluid filling is performed, then productivity increases, but foam formation and turbulence increase reducing measurement precision
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the high-speed fluid surge into multiple partial flows using the flow-around body, the system can maintain high filling speeds while preventing the formation of foam and turbulence that would compromise measurement accuracy
3Device complexity
If fluid surge is directly introduced into the receiving device, then device complexity is minimized, but foreign surface contact increases reducing hemocompatibility
Solution Approach 1:
The flow-around body extends into the fluid path from the side walls, utilizing the lateral dimension to create flow division without adding significant vertical height or complex internal structures to the receiving device
