Abstract

PURPOSE:To make leakage of an internal liquid and separation of a synthetic cap hard to occur, by a method wherein injected mixed rubber is forced into a connection member from another end side of the connection member, and a synthetic resin cap is applied on the other end side of the connection member to join an outer circumferential surface of the connection member and an internal surface of the synthetic resin cap by a high frequency welding or an ultrasonic welding. CONSTITUTION:Among open ends of a connection member 1, the end cut open is connected to a liquid transfer tube. Injected mixed rubber 2 is forced from the side of the other open end 1a of the connection member 1. The injected mixed rubber 2 is kept liquidtight between an inner circumferential surface of the connection member 1 and an outer circumferential surface thereof 2 as forced into the connection member 1. Then, with the injected mixed rubber 2 being forced into the connection member 1, a synthetic resin cap 3 comprising soft vinyl chloride is applied. Covering the connection member 1, the synthetic resin cap 3 is inserted into a high frequency welder 4. The high frequency welder 4 is so arranged to grasp insulating members 5 and 6 between electrodes 7 and 8, 9 and 10, respectively. This achieves a higher joining strength between the synthetic resin cap and the connection member.

[Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a co-injection unit provided in a flexible plastic container for medical use or cell culture, or in a liquid transfer tube constituting a body fluid processing circuit. [0002] [0002] [0002] A mixed injection section using mixed injection rubber is constructed in the middle of a flexible plastic container for medical use or cell culture, or a liquid transfer tube constituting a body fluid processing circuit. There are many. In other words, for flexible plastic containers,
The mixed injection section is constructed by press-fitting mixed injection rubber into a cylindrical mouth and covering it with a synthetic resin cap from the open end of the mouth (Refer to Utility Model Publication No. 2-9810).
The mixed injection part is constructed by connecting a cylindrical connecting member in the middle of the tube, press-fitting the mixed injection rubber into the connecting member, and covering the other end of the cylindrical member with a synthetic resin cap. For example, Jikkoi No. 2-23312). [0003] The co-injection part as described above is used to allow the needle tip of the syringe to penetrate the co-injection rubber and take out the liquid inside with the syringe, and also to allow the syringe to penetrate the liquid in the plastic container or liquid transfer tube. It is provided to enable the addition of drugs and the like. By the way, in the co-injection part, it is necessary to maintain liquid tightness between the cylindrical connection member made of synthetic resin and the co-injection rubber, and between the synthetic resin cap and the connection member. Otherwise, there is a risk that the liquid in the plastic container, such as an infusion, may leak out of the container from the mixed injection part, or the body fluid flowing through the liquid transfer tube may leak to the outside. In particular, in liquid transfer tubes, the pressure inside the tube may become extremely high due to the pressurizing force of the liquid transfer pump, etc. Therefore, the synthetic resin cap must be firmly bonded to the cylindrical member. Ru. [0004] Conventionally, the cylindrical connecting member and the synthetic resin cap have been joined using an adhesive or a heat-shrinkable seal. The adhesive method is a bonding method that uses an organic solvent such as tetrahydrofuran (THF) as an adhesive, while the heat shrink seal method uses a film that shrinks when heated to surround the outside of a synthetic resin cap. This is a method of fixing a synthetic resin cap around a connecting member by attaching it, heat-shrinking it, and tightening it. [0005] Furthermore, in Utility Model Publication No. 2-9810, in order to improve the adhesion between the opening of the plastic container as the cylindrical connecting member and the synthetic resin cap, the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical connecting member and the synthetic resin cap are A structure is disclosed in which annular recesses and protrusions are formed on the inner circumferential surface of the resin cap, and the adhesion between the two is further improved by applying heat sealing. Are listed. [0006]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Among the conventional methods for joining a cylindrical connecting member and a synthetic resin cap in a mixed injection section,
In the method using an adhesive, the contact surface between the two may not be bonded all the way around, probably because the adhesive does not penetrate sufficiently into the gap between the two. Another problem is that the adhesive inevitably remains on the plastic surface or in the material that constitutes the cylindrical connecting member or the synthetic resin cap. [0007] On the other hand, in the method using a heat shrinkable seal, it is difficult to completely integrate the cylindrical connecting member and the synthetic resin cap, and poor heat shrinkage tends to occur. Therefore, during use, the synthetic resin cap may come off from the cylindrical connecting member and the contents may be contaminated. Furthermore, as disclosed in Utility Model No. 2-9810,
Even if annular recesses and protrusions that fit into each other are provided on the outer circumferential surface of the opening as a cylindrical connecting member and the inner circumferential surface of the synthetic resin cap, and even if heat sealing is performed, the two will not come into close contact. Sex was still not enough. In addition, in the method of this prior art, it is necessary to accurately provide the above-mentioned annular irregularities on the outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical connecting member and the inner circumferential surface of the synthetic resin cap, and furthermore, it is necessary to accurately form the annular irregularities. If this is not done, there is a problem in that the liquid tightness at the joint between the two is impaired. [0008] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to solve the various problems in the prior art described above, and the synthetic resin cap is firmly joined to the cylindrical connecting member, so that the internal It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for manufacturing a co-injection part having a structure that prevents liquid leakage and separation of a synthetic resin cap.

Examples of such materials include soft vinyl chloride resin, ethylene vinyl acetate resin, polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutadiene,
Examples include those made of fluorinated resin, polyvinylidene chloride, ethylene vinyl alcohol, or polyester. However, preferably, the same material is used as the container body, liquid transfer tube, or synthetic resin cap of the flexible plastic container to be connected. Furthermore, the shape of the cylindrical connecting member can be changed as appropriate depending on the application, but
In addition to the opening at the other end for press-fitting the co-injected rubber, the opening may have another opening, for example, a Y-shape or a Y-shape. [0011] As the co-injected rubber press-fitted into the connection member, natural rubber or synthetic rubber such as isoprene rubber, butyl rubber, butadiene rubber, silicone rubber, or urethane rubber can be used as appropriate. Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape of the co-injected rubber can be arbitrary as long as it can maintain a liquid-tight state when press-fitted into the connecting member. [0012] As a synthetic resin cap, one having a shape having a top surface and an annular side wall that extends from the periphery of the top surface to the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical connection member while being placed over the cylindrical connection member is used. , usually an opening is formed in the center of the top surface. This opening is provided so as not to interfere with the operation of penetrating the co-injected rubber with the needle of the syringe. However, if the top surface of the synthetic resin cap is very thin, the opening may not be provided. In addition, the material constituting the synthetic resin cap is not particularly limited, but
Preferably, one made of the same material as the cylindrical connecting member is used. [0013] In the present invention, first, a cylindrical connecting member is prepared, one end of which is connected to the container body of a flexible plastic container or to the middle of a liquid transfer tube. Prepare this cylindrical connection member on the container body of the flexible plastic container. Alternatively, the cylindrical connecting member may be prepared as being connected in the middle of the liquid transfer tube, but usually, the cylindrical connecting member is prepared as an independent component. [0014] Next, co-injected rubber is press-fitted from the other end of the connecting member. This press-fitting is normally performed until the outer end of the co-injected rubber protrudes from the other end of the cylindrical connecting member, but in some cases, the co-injected rubber recesses inward from the other end of the cylindrical connecting member. It may be press-fitted to the state. Next, a synthetic resin cap is placed on the other end of the cylindrical connection member. Then, the outer peripheral surface of the connecting member and the inner peripheral surface of the synthetic resin cap are joined by high frequency welding or ultrasonic welding. High frequency welding is performed by applying a high frequency voltage to the synthetic resin cap while the inner surface of the synthetic resin cap is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical connection member. Similarly, in ultrasonic welding, ultrasonic waves are applied to the synthetic resin cap while the inner circumferential surface of the synthetic resin cap is in contact with the outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical connecting member, thereby joining the two. [00151] Examples of the flexible plastic container provided with the co-injection part obtained by the present invention include various medical or biochemical containers such as infusion containers and cell culture containers. Examples of such flexible plastic containers include those made of soft vinyl chloride resin, ethylene vinyl acetate resin, polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutadiene, fluorinated resin, polyvinylidene chloride, ethylene vinyl alcohol, or polyester. Furthermore, in the case of a flexible plastic container, the opening provided in a part of the container body also serves as the cylindrical connecting member. Therefore, as the material for the plastic container, soft vinyl chloride resin, ethylene vinyl acetate resin, or the like is preferably used. Note that, in addition to the mixed injection part obtained by the manufacturing method of the present invention, one or more other connecting members may be attached to the flexible plastic container as described above. [00161 The liquid transfer tube provided with the co-injection part obtained by the manufacturing method of the present invention includes a liquid transfer tube for configuring an extracorporeal circulation circuit, a liquid transfer tube for an analyzer, etc., and is usually made of soft vinyl chloride. resin,
It is made of ethylene vinyl acetate resin, silicone resin, polybutadiene, etc. [0017]

DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a sectional view for explaining a method of manufacturing a co-injection part according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, first, a cylindrical connecting member 1 made of soft vinyl chloride is prepared. Among the open ends of the connecting member 1, the open end on the side not shown by the notch is configured to be connected to a liquid transfer tube (not shown). [00191 Next, the other open end 1a of the connecting member 1
Press-fit the co-injected rubber 2 from the side. The co-injected rubber 2 is made of natural rubber, and its outer diameter is larger than the inner diameter of the connecting member 1. Therefore, when it is press-fitted into the connecting member 1 as shown in the figure, the inner circumferential surface of the connecting member 1 Liquid-tightness between the rubber and the outer circumferential surface of the co-injected rubber 2 is maintained. Next, with the mixed injection rubber 2 press-fitted into the connecting member 1, a synthetic resin cap 3 made of soft vinyl chloride is placed on the connecting member 1. The synthetic resin cap 3 has a top surface portion 3a and a connection member 1 from around the top surface portion 3a.
It has an annular side wall 3b extending to the side. The inner diameter of the annular side wall 3b is approximately the same as the outer diameter of the cylindrical connecting member 1. Therefore, when the synthetic resin cap 3 is placed on the cylindrical connecting member 1, the inner circumferential surface of the annular side wall 3b is It is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical connecting member 1. Note that an opening 3c is formed in the center of the top surface portion 3a. [00201 In this embodiment, the connecting member 1 is covered with the synthetic resin cap 3 and inserted into the high frequency welding device 4 as shown in the figure. The high frequency welding device 4 has a structure in which an insulating member 5.6 is sandwiched between electrodes 7, 8 and 9, 10, respectively. The electrodes 7 and 9 have contact surfaces 7a and 9a that have a semicircular shape when viewed from the direction of arrow A in FIG. It is configured to be in contact with the entire circumference of the surface. Similarly, the contact surfaces 5a, 6a of the insulating members 5, 6 and the contact surfaces 8a, 10a of the electrodes 8.10 are configured in a similar shape. For high frequency welding, a high frequency power source 11 is connected between the electrodes 9 and 10, and a high frequency voltage is applied. In this case, since the electrodes 7 and 8 are in contact with the electrodes 9 and 10 at positions not shown, a high frequency voltage is similarly applied between the electrodes 7 and 8. [00211 When a high frequency voltage with a frequency of 40 MHz was applied for 4 seconds using the high frequency power supply 11 with an output of 3 KW, the synthetic resin cap 3 and the cylinder were damaged in the areas in contact with the contact surfaces 5a and 6a of the insulating members 5 and 6. The shaped connecting member 1 was welded and joined over the entire circumference. The co-injection part thus obtained is shown in FIG. In FIG. 2, the part indicated by arrow B in the co-injection part 12 is the welded part. The joint between the connecting member 1 and the synthetic resin cap 3, which is high-frequency welded as described above, has superior joint strength compared to conventional joining methods using adhesives or heat-shrinkable films. It was confirmed that this was shown. [0022] The mixed injection part 12 obtained in the above embodiment is connected to the body fluid transfer tube, but the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, includes a mixed injection part in a part of the flexible plastic container. It can also be applied when provided. In FIG. 3, 13 indicates a flexible plastic container, and the container body 1
4 is constructed by heat-sealing two plastic films in the area outside the broken line C. A mouth portion 15 serving as a cylindrical connecting member is connected to the container body 14 . A co-injection part 16 having the same structure as the co-injection part 12 shown in FIG. 2 is formed in the mouth part 15 by the same method as in the above embodiment. As described above, the method for manufacturing a mixed injection section of the present invention is applicable not only to the mixed injection section connected to the body fluid transfer tube, but also when the mixed injection section is configured using a recess that is a part of a flexible plastic container. can also be applied.
