  • the connecting element 4 consists of a base member 41, are attached to the twelve pipe sections 42. At the upper parts of these pipe sections 42 a total of six flexible hose sections 43 are arranged, which create after assembly of the pump on the inside of the hose bed body 25 and are squeezable for the peristaltic promotion of a medium through the conveyor rollers 33. It is understood that the design of the inlet and outlet area is not limited to a six-channel pump, but the number of channels is virtually arbitrarily variable.
  • connection element 4 The assembly of the items shown to a pump can be done in a few steps by first the individual tube sections 43 are attached to the connection element 4 and then the rotor 3 is inserted from the side into the loops forming tube sections 43. Thereafter, the tube holder 2 is placed in a U-shape and the rotor 3 is inserted together with the connection element 4 and the tube sections 43 connected thereto from above. Subsequently, the support frame 1 is placed and exerted a pressure, so that the axis 32 of the rotor 3 and the locking elements 22 snap. Finally, the connection element 4 is fixed to the support frame 1. At the embodiment shown here, the connection element 4 is fastened by means of screws.
  • connection element 4 can be provided for fastening the connection element 4, which allows a quick fixation of the connection element 4 on the support frame 1.
  • the entire assembly of the pump can be done without the aid of tools from one side and, which is an advantage in automatic production.
  • Fig. 2 shows a first cross section through the composite pump. From this illustration, in particular, the rotor body 31 together with the three rotatably arranged thereon and rolling on the respective tube section 43 conveyor rollers 33a, 33b, 33c, the tube holder 2 with the omega-shaped tube bed body 25 and the radial and axial reinforcing ribs 23, 24 can be seen.
  • the reinforcing ribs 23, 24 ensure that the tube receptacle 2 is dimensionally stable and does not deform during operation under the load of the conveyor rollers 33a, 33b, 33c. Due to the omega-shaped design of the tube bed body 25 with a "soft" inlet and outlet areas, a continuous and low pulsation peristaltic delivery of the respective medium is ensured.
  • Soft or continuous inlet and outlet region means that both the inlet region 35 and the outlet region 36 are designed in such a way that the conveying effective tube cross section is continuously reduced or enlarged by the conveying roller 33a, 33c rolling on the respective flexible tube section 43. It is important in this context that the tube bed body 25 is made accurately and has a high dimensional accuracy during operation, so that the predetermined distances between conveyor roller 33a, 33b, 33c and tube bed body 25 are maintained.
  • the pump Since the pump is designed symmetrically, it can also be operated bidirectionally, ie in both directions of rotation. From the representation according to FIG. 2 it can also be seen that the respective tube section 43 is not completely squeezed together in the inlet region 35 and in the outlet region 36, while after the inlet region 35 it is completely squeezed out by the corresponding conveyor roller 33b and allows a peristaltic delivery of the respective medium , Such a designed pump is particularly suitable for the gentle conveyance of liquid media such as blood, since the blood cells are spared by the specific design of the inlet and outlet areas 35, 36.
  • hose receptacle 2 with a dimensionally stable hose bed body 25 and elastically yielding legs 2a, 2b allows a very quick and easy installation by the hose receptacle 2 is simply clipped to the support frame.
  • the legs 2a, 2b must be resilient for assembly, the tube bed body 25 must retain high dimensional accuracy and precision geometry after fixation. This is u.a. achieved in that the resilient parts are positioned and stiffened by means of external positive support on the support frame 1.
  • Fig. 3 which shows the composite pump in a cross section between two tube sections 43, in particular the clamping fixation of the tube bed body 25 on the support frame 1 can be seen.
  • the locking elements 22 also engage positively on an upper, the slot-shaped recesses 13 delimiting web 14 of the support frame 1 at.
  • the legs 2a, 2b of the tube bed body 25 are supported positively by the web 14 of the support frame 1 on the outside.
  • this design also ensures precise compliance with the optimized distances between the conveyor rollers 33a, 33b, 33c and the inside 25a of the tubular bed body 25.
  • the individual, elastic tube sections 43 additionally support the fixation of the tube bed body 25 on the carrier frame 1, since the conveyor rollers 33 a, 33 b, 33 c of the rotor 3 in the radial direction over the tube sections 43 Strain direction, so that its fixation on the support frame 1 is additionally supported.
  • the connecting element 4 is designed and tuned to the hose receiving 2 and the rotor 3, that the single hose section 43 is substantially tangential in the hose bed body 25 of the hose receiving 2 in and out again.
  • the number of conveyor rollers in the context of the invention defined by the claims is virtually arbitrarily variable.
  • the tubular bed body 25, the rotor 3 depending on the number of conveyor rollers wrap around at least as far as that always at least one conveyor roller 33a, 33b 33c is active, that is engaged with the respective tube section and squeezes it.
