Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a dialysis agent container containing a powdery or granular dialysis agent used for adjusting a dialysate used for artificial dialysis.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art One type of dialysate is a bicarbonate type dialysate. Most of the dialysis agents for adjusting the dialysate are divided into an A agent and a B agent in order to prevent a chemical reaction during dissolution. It is provided separately. Agent A is glucose, sodium chloride,
It is a drug containing components such as magnesium chloride, and the agent B is a drug mainly containing sodium hydrogen carbonate. These drugs are stored in a container such as a bottle made of resin (for example, polyethylene) having a capacity of 2 to 4 liters, and stored and transported, in the form of powder or granules. After being dissolved in the dissolving device, the drug is adjusted to a predetermined concentration by the diluting device and used as a dialysate.

[0003] In recent years, disposal of refuse has emerged as a major problem, and disposal of resin bottles used for containers for dialysis agents is no exception. That is, even if the bottle is used and emptied, its volume does not change,
It becomes bulky garbage, and disposal is troublesome. A container that can reduce the bulk after use, and a paper container in which a paper material is box-shaped, such as a milk pack, may be used. This box-shaped container is obtained by bending a paperboard into a rectangular parallelepiped and bonding each side.

[0004]

However, if the container for the dialysis agent is a box-shaped paper container, when the nozzle is inserted into the dissolving apparatus after setting it in the dissolving apparatus, the paper material on the upper surface is cut with a cutter provided on the nozzle. If it is attempted to break, it cannot be broken smoothly, and if it is forcibly broken, the box-shaped container will buckle. Also, if a part of the upper surface is made of sealing foil so that it is easily broken, the container for dialysis material needs to be much larger than a general container such as a milk pack, so the upper surface also becomes larger. The vertical position becomes unstable. For this reason, it is difficult to maintain a liquid-tight state when the connection member or the like is set on the dissolution apparatus from above, and it is soft and hard to break when pressed from above with a cutter.

[0005] By the way, glucose constituting the component of the agent A is deteriorated or discolored when it is brought into contact with other components, for example, an electrolyte component such as sodium chloride for a long period of time. As a countermeasure, it has been practiced to package the agent A separately into glucose and other components. Specifically, a dialysis agent is divided into three types of drugs, glucose, a component of the A agent other than glucose, and B agent, and each of the agents is individually stored in a container. .

However, when the dialysis agent is divided into three types of agents and each agent is stored individually, the number of waste bottles after use increases, resulting in an increase in the disposal capacity (bulky). Will occur. In addition, the waste capacity can be reduced by using a special compression device or a crushing device, but there is a problem of installation cost, labor cost and labor involved in this. In addition, when glucose and the constituent components of the agent A other than glucose are individually stored, it is necessary to adjust the mixing ratio of the agent A when dissolving, which is troublesome.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has as its object to stabilize the position of an outlet of a container when setting the container in a melting apparatus, and to facilitate disposal after use. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a container for a dialysis agent whose volume can be easily reduced (reduced in volume) after use.

[0008]

[0013]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view for explaining the configuration of a dialysis agent container 1 in the present embodiment,
(A) is a sectional view showing a state in which the interior of the container 1 is divided into two chambers 4a and 4b by a partition plate 3 with the lid member 2 facing downward, and (b) is a container 1 with the lid member 2 facing upward. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the inside of the device is arranged in series.

The dialysis agent container 1 is used for storing the agent A in the dialysis agent for bicarbonate type dialysis.
A box-shaped container body 6 having an opening 5 on one side, and an opening 5 of the container body 6
The inside of the container body 6 is provided by being provided inside the container body 6 with the lid member 2 closing one end, and one end fixed to the inner surface of the container body 6 and the other end rotatable abutting against the inner surface of the container body 6. And a partition plate 3 partitioned into two upper and lower chambers 4a and 4b.

The lid member 2 is an integrally molded product made of a resin in which an outlet 7 is provided at substantially the center of the upper surface of a circular base plate 10.
The outlet 7 is formed in the base plate 10 with the cylindrical opening 1.
1 is formed, and a breakable film-like sealing material 12 is attached to the upper end edge of the mouth portion 11 with an adhesive, and the container 1 is hermetically sealed by the sealing material 12. When the lid member 2 is attached to the container body 6, the lid member 2 is adhered or fused with the base plate 10 in contact with the inside of the container body 6.

The container body 6 in this embodiment has a box-like shape obtained by bending a paperboard cut into a predetermined shape and assembling it into a vertically long hollow rectangular parallelepiped. The lower surface shown in FIG.
The opening 5 into which the cylindrical mouth portion 11 just fits is opened. Therefore, before the paperboard is folded or the container body 6 is completed in a box shape, for example, before the top surface (bottom portion 13 of the container 1) shown in FIG. Can be inserted into the opening 5 from the inside to the outside, and the base plate 10 can be bonded or fused to the inner surface of the container body 6.

The inner surface of the container body 6 is subjected to a surface treatment for forming a resin layer by coating with a polyethylene resin or laminating a polyethylene film. Note that this surface treatment is not limited to the one using a resin such as polyethylene, and aluminum or silica (silicon dioxide) may be deposited. The layer formed by these surface treatments has a function as a moisture-proof layer that blocks moisture from the outside, and has a moisture-proof effect of the medicine in the container 1. Since the container body 6 receives a downward pressing force when breaking the sealing material 12 of the outlet 7 of the lid member 2, the container body 6 has a rigidity capable of withstanding a pressure of about 25 kgF from above. I have.

As shown in FIG. 1 (a), the partition plate 3 obliquely crosses the internal space of the container body 6 and divides it into two upper and lower chambers 4a and 4b with the lid member 2 down. The partition part 15 includes a fastening part 16 extending from one lower edge of the partition part 15 and bent toward the lid member 2.
6 is fixed to the side surface inside the container body 6 by fastening with an adhesive or the like.

The partitioning section 15 is formed in a size and a shape which can be divided into two chambers 4a and 4b obliquely across the internal space. That is, the length from the base end (boundary to the fastening portion 16) to the tip end of the partitioning portion 15 is slightly longer than the internal method from the inner surface where the base end of the partition plate 3 is fastened to the opposite inner surface. The width of the partition plate 3 is set to be equal to that of the inner surface of the opposed inner surface, and the upper end of the partition plate 3 is placed on the inner surface of the container body 6 at a position higher than the base end with the lid member 2 down. The left and right side edges are configured to slide on the inner surface. Therefore, when the lid member 2 side is turned downward as shown in FIG. 1A, the distal end abuts on the inner surface of the container body 6 at a position higher than the base end under the own weight or an external force, and the partitioning portion 15 is The inside of the main body 6 can be partitioned into upper and lower two chambers 4a and 4b. When the tip abuts on the inner surface of the container body 6, the tip does not descend any more.
This division state is maintained. Note that, in this partitioned state, the left and right side edges of the partitioned portion 15 slide on the inner surfaces of the left and right side walls of the container body 6, so that a large gap does not occur between them.

On the other hand, when the container 1 is turned upside down, that is, when the lid member 2 is turned up, the partition 15 can receive its own weight or receive an external force so that the leading end can be lowered, whereby the partition by the partition 15 is released. And two chambers 4 in the container 1
a and 4b communicate with each other to form one space.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the internal space of the container body 6 can be set to the partitioned state or the communicating state without separately providing a stopper for restricting the rotation range of the partitioning portion 15. For this reason, the structure of the container 1 can be simplified. It is desirable that the surface of the partition plate 3 be surface-treated with a resin film such as polyethylene similarly to the inner surface of the container body 6.

When the container 1 having the above-described configuration is filled with the dialysis agent A, for example, the bottom 1 of the container body 6 may be filled.
In a state where the cover member 2 is turned downward with the cover 3 open and the partitioning portion 15 is opened upward, a sufficiently dry powdered glucose is filled in a predetermined amount into the space on the cover member 2 side. Then, the compartment 15 is turned over to divide the interior into two chambers 4a and 4b, and in this state, other components other than glucose (other components except for the glucose of the A agent) are filled, and finally the bottom portion is formed. 13 is folded and bonded.

When filling is performed in this manner, glucose is stored in one (lower) chamber 4a and the other (upper) chamber 4b
The components other than glucose are stored therein, and the free end of the partition 15 is kept in contact with the inner surface of the container body 6 by the weight of the components stored in the upper chamber 4b. Therefore, if transported or stored in this state, glucose will be kept in a state of being isolated from electrolyte components such as sodium chloride, and will not deteriorate even after long-term storage.

When the agent A is used, that is, when the agent A is dissolved, the container 1 is turned upside down and the cover 2 is turned up, as shown in FIG. The compartment 15 is rotated by its own weight of the glucose stored in the chamber 4a and opens to the bottom 13 side, whereby the compartment of the internal space is released.
As a result, glucose and other components are mixed, and the mixed agent A can be dissolved by the dissolving device.

More specifically, as shown in FIG.
With the container up, turn the container 1 on the turntable 2 of the melting device.
Then, the connection member 21 is placed on the cover member 2. In this state, when the nozzle 22 that has penetrated the connecting member 21 descends, the cutter 23 provided at the tip of the nozzle 22 breaks the sealing material 12 and the nozzle 22 is inserted into the container 1. Even if the cutter 23 presses the seal member 12 to break it, the strength of the container body 6 is not too small or too small to oppose the pressing force, so that the container 1 is not crushed.
In addition, since the upper surface of the container body 6 to which the lid member 2 is attached is reinforced by the lid member 2, the vertical position is stabilized without rubbing even if it is made of paper, and the pressing force when judging the sealing material 12 is determined. Can withstand enough.

When the partition plate 3 is arranged at a height at which the tip of the nozzle 22 inserted from the outlet 7 is mounted on the melting apparatus, the partition 15 of the partition plate 3 is reliably secured by the tip of the inserted nozzle 22. And the two chambers 4a and 4b can communicate with each other.

In this manner, the nozzle 22 is
Is inserted, water is supplied into the container 1 from the nozzle 22, so that the A agent is dissolved by the water, the A agent concentrated solution overflows the container 1 from the outlet 7, and the drainage tube 24 It is sent to the dilution device side. Then, after that, it is mixed with the agent B solution and adjusted to a predetermined concentration to be a dialysate. When the concentrated solution of the agent A is sent from the outlet 7 to the drain pipe 24, the upper surface of the container body 6 is reinforced by the lid member 2 and the position is stable. The state can be easily maintained, and even if the container body 6 is a paper container, liquid leakage can be easily prevented.

The container 1 after being used in this manner can be easily crushed because the container main body 6 is formed in a paper box shape, and is discarded in a reduced volume (reduced volume). can do. As a result, the waste capacity can be reduced. In the present embodiment, the lid member 2 is connected to the container body 6.
The cover member 2 can be separated from the container body 6 only by pressing the cover member 2 from above when discarding. Therefore, it is easy to separate and discard.

The entire upper surface of the container body 6 is formed as an opening 5, and a base plate 10 is formed in a size and shape to close the opening 5, and the periphery of the opening 5 of the container body 6 and the base plate 10 are formed.
Of the container main body 6
The cover member 2 can be easily detached when it is crushed, and the cover member 2 and the container body 6 are easily separated and discarded.

In the above-described embodiment, the partition 15 of the partition plate 3 is made of one piece of paperboard.
As shown in FIG. 3, a sliding contact portion 25 bent to the opposite side to the lid member 2 may be formed at the tip end and the left and right side edges of the partition portion 15 in a state where adjacent edges are cut off. When such a sliding contact portion 25 is formed, the tip of each sliding contact portion 25 can easily contact the inner surface of the container body 6 without a gap due to the restoring force of the bent portion, and furthermore, the constituent components in the upper chambers 4a and 4b. , It tends to fall to the outside, that is, the inner surface side of the container body 6, so that the gap can be more reliably eliminated.
Therefore, glucose can be reliably separated.

Although the shape of the container body 6 is not limited to a vertically long rectangular parallelepiped, it is desirable that the shape of the container body 6 be such that it can be easily crushed after use. The material of the container body 6 is not limited to paper, but is preferably a recyclable material.

The above-described container 1 can be used even when glucose is stored without being separated, that is, when glucose and other components of the A agent are stored in a mixed state. In this case, there is no need to provide the partition plate 3 inside.

When dissolving, the container 1 is set in the dissolving apparatus as it is, and the nozzle 12
Can be dissolved by the water supplied from the nozzle 12 without any trouble.

Since the container 1 used in this manner is in the form of a large paper box, it can be easily crushed to reduce the volume, and can be discarded in this reduced volume state. As a result, the waste capacity can be reduced.

[0035]

As described above, according to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. According to the invention described in claim 1, 1
Since a container for a dialysis agent was composed of a box-shaped container main body having an opening on one surface and an opening sealed so as to be rupturable, and a lid member fixed to the container main body and closing the opening. When set in the dissolving apparatus, the upper surface is reinforced by the lid member to stabilize the position, and the liquid-tight state is easily maintained when the connecting member of the dissolving apparatus is covered from above. Therefore, even if the container body is box-shaped, liquid leakage can be prevented. And when breaking the seal of the outlet with a cutter to insert the nozzle,
Even if the pressing force is applied to the upper surface, the upper surface of the container body is strong, so that the sealing can be smoothly broken and the nozzle can be inserted. After use, the container body is box-shaped, so that it can be easily crushed to reduce the volume. Therefore, the disposal can be facilitated.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the container main body is made of paper and a moisture-proof layer is formed on the inner surface, even if it is made of paper which is easy to dispose of, the moisture-proof function of the moisture-proof layer makes it possible to use the inside of the container for dialysis. The agent can be prevented from absorbing moisture.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, a box-shaped container main body, a lid member having a breakably sealed outlet, and provided inside the container main body, with the base end on the inner surface of the container main body. A partition plate for partitioning the inside of the container body into two upper and lower chambers by abutting a rotatable tip that is fixed and rotatable against an inner surface of the container body; The inner surface of the container body is set to be longer than the inner surface from the inner surface where the base end is fixed to the opposing inner surface, and with the lid member down, the distal end of the partition plate is higher than the base end. So that
By storing glucose in a dry state in one room and separately storing other components in the other room, glucose can be isolated from other components. Therefore, even if glucose is stored in the same container as other components,
Deterioration due to contact between glucose and other components can be prevented. Therefore, it is not necessary to store glucose and other components in separate containers, and the number of containers used can be reduced. After use, the container body is box-shaped, so that it can be easily crushed to reduce the volume. Therefore, the disposal can be facilitated. Further, by simply reversing the top and bottom of the container, it is possible to switch between a state in which the partition plate forms and maintains the two chambers and a state in which the compartments are released, so that handling is easy.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, since the sliding contact portion bent to the opposite side to the lid member is formed at the front end and the left and right side edges of the partition plate, the inner surface of the container body and the partition plate are connected. A gap is less likely to be formed therebetween, and the mixing of glucose and other components can be prevented.

According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, since the partition plate is arranged at a height at which the tip of the nozzle inserted into the melting apparatus and inserted from the outlet comes into contact, the partition plate is pressed by the tip of the nozzle. The two chambers can be reliably connected.
