Specifically, when the medical connector enters and exits the inner cavity of the cap body of the disinfection cap, external force for driving the sealing gasket to move up and down is generated, and the fixing part is arranged to help fix the sealing gasket and prevent the sealing gasket from falling off.
The disinfection cap further comprises a barrier film, the barrier film comprises a barrier film outer edge, the barrier film is thin-film-shaped and is positioned at the cap body connecting port in a proper shape, the barrier film outer edge is connected with the inner edge of the cap body connecting port, and when the medical connector is screwed into the inner cavity of the cap body, the barrier film is extruded and spread by the medical connector. The barrier film is vulcanized by medical grade rubber materials or injection molded by medical grade thermoplastic elastomer materials. The medical connector is arranged on the cap body, and the cap body is arranged on the cap body.
The blocking film and the sealing gasket are connected into a whole, and the inner edge surface of the sealing gasket extends towards the center direction of the inner cavity of the cap body. The separation membrane and the sealing gasket are integrally molded or vulcanized, and the connection is beneficial to reducing procedures in the manufacturing process of the product and reducing the manufacturing cost of the product.
The thickness of the barrier film is gradually decreased from the outer edge of the barrier film to the central direction, the protruding portion of the barrier film in the central direction of the cap body is a portion easy to deform, when the portion easy to deform is extruded by the medical connector, the portion easy to deform is bent in the bottom direction of the cap body, and when the medical connector is pulled away from the inner cavity of the cap body, the portion easy to deform is bent in the opposite direction of the bottom of the cap body. The thickness of the outer edge of the barrier film is thicker than that of the central position of the barrier film, and the thicker outer edge of the barrier film can support the whole barrier film to prevent the disinfectant from passing through the cap body connecting port, and the barrier film at the central position is thinner, so that the medical connector can be smoothly inserted into the inner cavity of the cap body through the cap body connecting port. The thickness of the barrier film is gradually decreased from the outer edge of the barrier film to the center direction, so that the whole barrier film has good restorability. When the medical connector is pulled out from the inner cavity of the cap body through the cap body connecting port, the easily deformed part is elastically restored to the original state by the self, and the average wall thickness of the easily deformed part is smaller than that of the barrier film, so that the easily deformed part is facilitated to restore to the state of extending towards the center direction of the cap body, and the disinfectant is prevented from flowing out of the inner cavity of the cap body. When the medical connector is pulled out from the inner cavity of the cap body, but the medical connector and the cap body are not separated, the lower surface of the barrier film is attached to the surface of the medical connector, so that microorganisms attached to the outer part of the connecting port of the cap body are effectively prevented from falling on the surface of the medical connector.
The barrier film is provided with a tearing line for splitting the barrier film along the radial direction of the cap body connecting port, and when the medical connector enters the cap body inner cavity, the barrier film is extruded by the medical connector to be split along the tearing line. The tearing line is radially distributed in a ring shape around the center of the cap body, the tearing line can be a plurality of round holes or rectangular holes penetrating through the barrier film, the round holes or rectangular holes are connected to form a line shape, when the medical connector enters the inner cavity of the cap body, the barrier film is extruded by the medical connector to crack along the tearing line formed by the round holes or the rectangular holes, the tearing line divides the barrier film into a plurality of pieces, and the medical connector is convenient to enter the inner cavity of the cap body, so that the entering resistance is reduced. Of course, the tearing line can also be a plurality of special-shaped depressions which do not penetrate through the barrier film, the special-shaped depressions are connected to form a line, and the barrier film is extruded by the medical connector to be cracked along the tearing line formed by the special-shaped depressions.
The barrier film is composed of a plurality of films which are distributed around the inner edge of the cap body connecting port. The barrier film is evenly distributed by a plurality of diaphragms around the inner edge of the cap body connecting port in an annular mode, the whole body is located at the cap body connecting port in a conformal mode, when the medical connector enters the cap body inner cavity, the barrier film formed by the plurality of diaphragms is easily separated, and resistance encountered when the medical connector enters the cap body inner cavity is reduced.
A gap is arranged between two adjacent diaphragms of the barrier film, and the gap is not more than 1mm. When the barrier film is composed of a plurality of films, a gap can be arranged between the two films, the gap is favorable for reducing the resistance encountered when the medical connector enters the inner cavity of the cap body, but too large gap can overflow the disinfectant from the gap, and the effect of the barrier film in preventing the disinfectant from flowing out of the inner cavity of the cap body is lost. Therefore, the gap is generally not more than 1mm, when the cap body is inclined or inverted to the horizontal direction, the disinfectant in the inner cavity of the cap body cannot overflow from the gap between the two diaphragms, at the moment, the surface tension of the disinfectant, the supporting force of the barrier film on the disinfectant, the supporting force of the cap body on the disinfectant, the adhesive force between the disinfectant and the barrier film and the adhesive force between the disinfectant and the cap body are greater than or equal to the gravity of the disinfectant, and the resultant force of the five forces is in a balanced state.
The edge parts of two adjacent films of the barrier film are mutually overlapped, the overlapped parts of the films are mutually attached, and when the cap body is inclined or inverted to the horizontal direction, the films prevent disinfectant from flowing out of the inner cavity of the cap body. When the cap body is inclined or inverted to the horizontal direction, disinfectant flows to the direction of the barrier film due to gravity, and the overlapped parts of the two adjacent films are pressed by the gravity of the disinfectant to be more tightly attached, so that the barrier film formed by the films stably prevents the disinfectant from flowing out of the inner cavity of the cap body.
The upper surface of the barrier film and/or the inner edge surface of the sealing gasket are provided with a plurality of micro-protrusions and/or micro-depressions, and the micro-protrusions and/or micro-depressions increase the area of the disinfectant attached to the upper surface of the barrier film and/or the inner edge surface of the sealing gasket. The disinfectant is adhered to the outer surface of the miniature bulge or the inner surface of the miniature recess, the disinfectant has a disinfecting and sterilizing effect on the upper surface of the barrier film or the inner edge surface of the sealing gasket, and when the medical connector enters and exits the inner cavity of the cap body of the disinfecting cap, the upper surface of the barrier film or the inner edge surface of the sealing gasket is sterile, so that the surface of the medical connector cannot be polluted or bacteria can enter the blood circulation system of a human body through the medical connector.
The cap body side wall comprises a cap body side wall inner surface, and an inner thread which is connected with the external thread of the medical connector in a matching way is arranged on the cap body side wall inner surface. The internal thread is a part of the side wall of the cap body protruding outwards, is continuous or discontinuous, and can enable the connection between the disinfection cap and the medical connector to be more compact and reliable by adopting threaded fit.
The medical connector is characterized in that a separation part is arranged in the inner cavity of the cap body and extends towards the center direction of the cap body, the separation part separates the inner cavity of the cap body into an upper cavity of the cap body and a lower cavity of the cap body, the upper cavity of the cap body stores volatile disinfectant, the lower cavity of the cap body is communicated with the outside through a breathable film on a communication port, the separation part is provided with a weak connection part, and when the medical connector is screwed into the inner cavity of the cap body, the weak connection part of the separation part is extruded and broken by external force, and the upper cavity of the cap body is communicated with the lower cavity of the cap body. The weak connection part is formed by thinning the local wall thickness of the separation part, the separation part prevents the disinfectant from directly contacting with the breathable film, the ventilation property of the breathable film is affected, and the disinfectant pre-filled in the inner cavity of the cap body before use is prevented from volatilizing through the breathable film through the communication opening. When the medical connector is screwed into the inner cavity of the cap body, the separation part is extruded by the medical connector to break along the weak connecting part, and at the moment, the disinfectant flows into the lower cavity of the cap body from the upper cavity of the cap body, and the disinfectant can volatilize through the ventilation membrane at the communication port.
The separation part is inclined, and one end of the separation part, which is close to the cap body connecting port, is provided with a weak connecting part. Because of the limitation of the length of the medical connector, when the medical connector is screwed into the inner cavity of the cap body, one end of the separation part, which is close to the cap body connecting port, is extruded by the medical connector and is broken along the weak connecting part, and one end of the separation part, which is far away from the cap body connecting port, is not extruded by the medical connector and is connected with the inner surface of the side wall of the cap body well.
The separation part is provided with a protrusion protruding towards the direction of the cap body connection port, and a weak connection part is arranged at the connection position of the protrusion and the separation part. Also because of the limitation of the length of the medical connector, the distance between the medical connector and the separation part is shortened by the protrusion of the separation part, when the medical connector is screwed into the inner cavity of the cap body, the protrusion is extruded by the medical connector and is broken along the weak connecting part, and the separation part is extruded by the medical connector conveniently due to the structural design.
The separation part bulge is in a hollow cup shape with an opening at the top end and protrudes towards the direction of the cap body connecting port, and the hollow inside of the bulge increases the storage capacity of the cap body inner cavity for disinfectant. The cup-shaped partition member projections further increase the storage capacity of the disinfectant.
The technical effects are as follows:
