- FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing the male connector 1 and the needleless port 100 that are connected and locked.
- 8A and 8B are cross-sectional views showing the male connector 1 and the needleless port 100 that are connected and locked.
- the cross sections of FIGS. 8A and 8B are the same as the cross sections of FIGS. 6A and 6B, respectively.
- the lock lever 30 is in substantially the same position as in the initial state (see FIGS. 1, 2A, 2B, 3A, and 3B), and its pawl 34 (particularly, its engagement surface 34b (see FIGS. 2B and 3A)). Is engaged with the convex portion 112 of the needleless port 100.
- the male luer 10 penetrates the slit 102 of the septum 101, and the septum 101 is greatly elastically deformed.
- the opening of the lateral hole 12 of the male luer 10 is exposed in the lumen of the base 110. In this state, the liquid can be circulated between the male luer 10 and the needleless port 100 via the flow path 11 and the lateral hole 12.
- the male connector 1 and the needleless port 100 can be separated by placing the finger on the operation portion 35 of the lock lever 30 and displacing the lock lever 30 in a direction away from the hood 20 (see FIG. 4). Thereby, the engagement between the claw 34 and the convex 112 is released. In parallel with this, if the needleless port 100 and the male connector 1 are pulled away from each other, the male connector 1 and the needleless port 100 can be separated. The septum 101 is elastically restored as soon as the male luer 10 is removed, and the slit 102 is closed.
- the claw 34 of the male connector 1 engages the convex portion 112 of the needleless port 100 with the male luer 10 penetrating the septum 101. Therefore, the male luer 10 is prevented from unintentionally coming off the septum 101.
- the lock mechanism according to the present embodiment has a high degree of safety because the possibility that the locked state is unintentionally released by an external force is reduced.
- the direction in which the claw 34 must be moved to release the engagement between the claw 34 and the convex portion 112, and the claw The direction of the force F (see FIG. 4) that must be applied to the operation unit 35 in order to move 34 in this direction matches. Therefore, an operation for releasing the lock state can be intuitively performed. Further, by disposing the operation unit 35 at a position farther from the fixed end of the lock lever 30, the force F necessary for releasing the engagement between the claw 34 and the convex portion 112 can be reduced. Further, by disposing the claw 34 at a position farther from the fixed end of the lock lever 30, the amount of displacement of the claw 34 can be increased.
- the number of the lock lever 30 is only one, the locked state can be released with one finger, and the operability of releasing the locked state is improved. Further, the smaller the number of lock levers 30, the lower the possibility that an unintended external force acts on the lock lever 30. Therefore, the fact that the number of the lock lever 30 is only one reduces the possibility that the pulling force F for releasing the engagement between the claw 34 and the convex portion 112 will act on the lock lever 30 unintentionally. Safety is further improved.
- the lock lever 30 since the number of the claws 34 engaged with the needleless port 100 is only one, the lock lever 30 is simply displaced by applying the force F to the operation portion 35. The state can be released. Therefore, the unlocking operation of the locked state is simple and the operability is improved.
- the operator Since the inclined surface 34 a is formed on the side of the claw 34 opposite to the base 19, the operator does not need to touch the lock lever 30 in the process of connecting the male connector 1 and the needleless port 100.
- the claw 34 and the convex 112 can be engaged simply by pushing the needleless port 100 into the hood 20. Therefore, the connection operability is good.
- the stopper 38 and the base 19 of the lock lever 30 function as a displacement limiting unit that limits the upper limit of the elastic displacement amount of the lock lever 30.
- the displacement limiting means prevents the operator from displacing the lock lever 30 more than necessary when releasing the engagement between the claw 34 and the convex portion 112, so that the elastic portion 31 is plastically deformed due to excessive bending deformation. Can be prevented.
- the hood 20 surrounds the male luer 10, the possibility that the operator touches the male lure 10 accidentally is reduced. This is advantageous for isolating the worker from dangerous chemicals and blood.
- the hood 20 contributes to positioning the needleless port 100 in a horizontal plane. That is, the hood 20 positions the needleless port 100 with respect to the male luer 10 so that the male luer 10 is accurately inserted into the slit 102 of the septum 101 exposed in the opening 131 of the cap 130. Further, the hood 20 is needleless with respect to the lock lever 30 so that the claw 34 is reliably engaged with the convex portion 112 and the engagement between the claw 34 and the convex portion 112 is reliably released. Position port 100.
- An opening 21 for engaging the claw 34 with the needleless port 100 is formed in the hood 20. If the claw 34 provided on the lock lever 30 disposed outside the hood 20 is merely engaged with the needleless port 100 in the hood 20, for example, the height (dimension in the vertical direction) of the hood 20 is used. Or a method of forming a notch in the upper edge 20a of the hood 20 toward the base 19 can be applied. However, the method of reducing the height of the hood 20 reduces the functions of the hood 20 described above (that is, the function of isolating the male luer 10 so that the operator does not touch it, the function of positioning the needleless port 100).
- the method of forming a notch in the edge 20 a of the hood 20 reduces the mechanical strength of the edge 20 a of the hood 20.
- the configuration in which the opening 21 is formed in the hood 20 and the claw 34 is engaged with the needleless port 100 through the opening 21 prevents the operator from accidentally touching the male luer 10. It is advantageous in positioning the needleless port 100 by using the hood 20 and suppressing a decrease in the mechanical strength of the hood 20.
- the opening 21 formed in the hood 20 does not reach the upper end of the hood 20.
- the hood 20 includes a bridging portion 22 above the opening 21.
- the upper edge 20a of the hood 20 is continuous in the circumferential direction at the same height. This improves the strength of the upper edge 20 a of the hood 20.
- the hood 20 suppresses the tilt and movement of the needleless port 100. Therefore, since the engagement between the claw 34 and the convex 112 is prevented from being disengaged due to the tilt or movement of the needleless port 100, the possibility that the locked state is unintentionally released is further reduced, and safety is improved. Further improvement.
- the hood 20 can be prevented from being destroyed by the inclination or movement of the needleless port 100.
- the flow channel 11 of the male luer 10 is not opened on the tip surface 10 t of the male luer 10, and a lateral hole 12 communicating with the flow channel 11 is opened on the outer peripheral surface of the male luer 10. This is because when the male luer 10 penetrating the septum 101 is subsequently pulled out of the septum 101, the liquid adhering to the periphery of the opening of the lateral hole 12 can be easily peeled off at the edge of the slit 102 of the septum 101. This is advantageous in reducing the amount of liquid remaining around the opening of the lateral hole 12 after being pulled out from the hole.
- the shape of the lock lever 30 can be arbitrarily changed. It can.
- the operation unit 35 is a substantially cylindrical concave curved surface in the above embodiment, but if the force F (see FIG. 4) in the direction away from the male luer 10 can be applied to the lock lever 30, the operation unit 35

- the shape of the hood 20 is not limited to the above embodiment.
- the needleless port 100 constitutes a mixed injection port (see, for example, Patent Document 1)
- a notch for avoiding interference with a tube connected to the mixed injection port is provided on the upper edge 20a of the hood 20. It may be formed. Further, the opening 21 does not need to reach the base 19 and may be a small opening to which only the claw 34 can be inserted.
- the horizontal hole 12 of the male luer 10 extends along a straight line (that is, in the radial direction) orthogonal to the central axis 10a.
- the present invention is not limited to this and is perpendicular to the central axis 10a. It may extend along a straight line that intersects at an angle other than.
- the number of the lateral holes 12 is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be arbitrarily changed.
- the flow path 11 may be opened in the distal end surface 10 a of the male luer 10 without forming the lateral hole 12.
- the female connector is the needleless port 100 provided with the septum 101, but the present invention can be applied to a male connector that can be locked and connected to other female connectors.
- the female connector may be a rubber stopper that seals the mouth of a vial.
- the male member is changed to a resin needle having a sharp tip instead of the male luer 10 and having a liquid channel and an air channel independent of each other.
- the claw 34 of the lock lever 30 is changed so as to engage with the constriction formed in the mouth of the vial.
- a cover may be attached to the male member so that the opening on the distal end side of the flow path of the male member is not exposed when not connected to the female connector.
- This cover is made of a flexible material having rubber elasticity. When the male member is connected to the female connector, the cover is penetrated by the male member and is elastically compressed and deformed (see Patent Documents 3 and 4).
- the male connector with a lock mechanism of the present invention can be used for any purpose. Connected to a chemical solution bag and / or vial provided in a connector (for example, see Patent Documents 3 and 4) to which a vial, a chemical solution bag, and a syringe for moving a liquid between them are connected.
- the present invention can be applied as a male connector.
- the field of use of the present invention is not particularly limited, but can be widely used as a male connector that needs to keep the connection state with the female connector securely.
- it can be preferably used in the medical field handling dangerous drugs (for example, anticancer drugs) and blood.
- it can also be used in various fields that handle liquids such as foods other than those for medical use.
