 特許文献1に記載の輸液システムは、輸液バッグに接続された可撓性チューブを含む輸液セットと、可撓性チューブ内の薬液を患者に向けて押し流す輸液ポンプとを備えている。 The infusion system described in Patent Document 1 includes an infusion set including a flexible tube connected to an infusion bag, and an infusion pump that pushes the drug solution in the flexible tube toward the patient.
 前記輸液ポンプは、複数のフィンガを有する蠕動型ポンプ部を有する。蠕動型ポンプ部は、複数のフィンガを蠕動運動させることによって、可撓性チューブを吸引側から吐出側に向けて順次可撓性チューブの外側から押し潰す。これにより、可撓性チューブ内の薬液は、可撓性チューブ内で吸引側から吐出側に押し流される。 The infusion pump has a peristaltic pump section having a plurality of fingers. The peristaltic pump unit crushes the flexible tube sequentially from the outside of the flexible tube from the suction side to the discharge side by performing a peristaltic movement of the plurality of fingers. Thereby, the chemical solution in the flexible tube is pushed away from the suction side to the discharge side in the flexible tube.
 また、輸液セットは、薬液が収納されたシリンジに接続される場合もある。この場合、シリンジ内の薬液は、例えば、特許文献2に記載の輸液装置によって押し流される。 Also, the infusion set may be connected to a syringe that stores a chemical solution. In this case, the drug solution in the syringe is swept away by, for example, an infusion device described in Patent Document 2.
 具体的に、特許文献2に記載の輸液装置は、シリンジの外筒に対してプランジャを押し込む押圧機構を有している。押圧機構によってシリンジのプランジャが押し込まれることにより、プランジャと外筒との間に収納された薬液が輸液セットを介して患者に導かれる。 Specifically, the infusion device described in Patent Document 2 has a pressing mechanism that pushes the plunger into the outer cylinder of the syringe. When the plunger of the syringe is pushed by the pressing mechanism, the medicinal solution stored between the plunger and the outer cylinder is guided to the patient through the infusion set.
 そして、輸液が終了すると、輸液セットは、特許文献1に記載の輸液ポンプ又は特許文献2に記載の輸液装置から取り外され、感染を防止するために薬液バッグ又はシリンジとともに廃棄される。 When the infusion is completed, the infusion set is removed from the infusion pump described in Patent Document 1 or the infusion device described in Patent Document 2, and discarded together with a chemical solution bag or a syringe to prevent infection.
 しかしながら、特許文献1及び2に記載の輸液ポンプ及び輸液装置は、可撓性チューブ又はシリンジ(プランジャ)に対して外側から力を加えて、それらの内部の薬液を押し流すための蠕動ポンプ部又は押圧機構を有する。そのため、装置の小型化を図ることが困難である。 However, the infusion pump and the infusion device described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 apply a force from the outside to the flexible tube or the syringe (plunger), and the peristaltic pump unit or the pressure for pushing away the liquid medicine inside them. It has a mechanism. Therefore, it is difficult to reduce the size of the device.

 以下、図5~図7を参照して、ポンプ11の構成について説明する。 Hereinafter, the configuration of the pump 11 will be described with reference to FIGS.
 ポンプ11は、底部と底部の周縁部に立設された側壁とを有する筐体12と、筐体12の底部との間にポンプ室12aが形成されるように筐体12の側壁に取り付けられたダイヤフラム13と、ダイヤフラム13のポンプ室12aと反対側の面に設けられた圧電素子14と、圧電素子14に駆動電圧を供給するための接続導体15と、筐体12の底部に形成された導入口12bに設けられた導入側一方弁16と、筐体12の底部に形成された導出口12cに設けられた導出側一方弁17とを備えている。 The pump 11 is attached to the side wall of the housing 12 such that a pump chamber 12a is formed between the housing 12 having a bottom portion and a side wall erected on the peripheral edge of the bottom portion, and the bottom portion of the housing 12. The diaphragm 13, the piezoelectric element 14 provided on the surface of the diaphragm 13 opposite to the pump chamber 12 a, the connection conductor 15 for supplying a driving voltage to the piezoelectric element 14, and the bottom of the housing 12 are formed. An introduction side one-way valve 16 provided in the introduction port 12 b and a lead-out side one-way valve 17 provided in a lead-out port 12 c formed at the bottom of the housing 12 are provided.
 導入側一方弁16は、導入口12b内の薬液の圧力がポンプ室12a内の薬液の圧力を超えた場合に開放して、導入口12bからポンプ室12aに向けた薬液の流れを許容する。 The introduction side one-way valve 16 is opened when the pressure of the chemical solution in the introduction port 12b exceeds the pressure of the chemical solution in the pump chamber 12a, and allows the flow of the chemical solution from the introduction port 12b toward the pump chamber 12a.
 導出側一方弁17は、ポンプ室12a内の薬液の圧力が導出口12c内の薬液の圧力を超えた場合に開放して、ポンプ室12aから導出口12cに向けた薬液の流れを許容する。 The one-side valve 17 on the outlet side opens when the pressure of the chemical liquid in the pump chamber 12a exceeds the pressure of the chemical liquid in the outlet port 12c, and allows the flow of the chemical liquid from the pump chamber 12a toward the outlet port 12c.

The diaphragm 13 vibrates due to the expansion and contraction of the piezoelectric element 14. FIG. 5 shows a state in which the drive voltage is not supplied from the AC power source P.
 図6に示すように、交流電源Pから駆動電圧が供給されてポンプ室12aが膨張しようとすると、ポンプ室12a内の圧力低下に伴い、導出側一方弁17が閉じるとともに導入側一方弁16が開放して、ポンプ室12a内に薬液が導入される。 As shown in FIG. 6, when the drive voltage is supplied from the AC power supply P and the pump chamber 12a is to expand, the outlet side one valve 17 is closed and the introduction side one valve 16 is closed as the pressure in the pump chamber 12a decreases. It opens and a chemical | medical solution is introduce | transduced in the pump chamber 12a.
 次に、図7に示すように、交流電源Pから駆動電圧によりポンプ室12aが収縮しようとすると、ポンプ室12a内の圧力増加に伴い、導入側一方弁16が閉じるとともに導出側一方弁17が開いて、ポンプ室12a内の薬液が導出される。 Next, as shown in FIG. 7, when the pump chamber 12a is to be contracted by the drive voltage from the AC power supply P, the introduction-side one valve 16 is closed and the outlet-side one valve 17 is closed as the pressure in the pump chamber 12a increases. It opens and the chemical | medical solution in the pump chamber 12a is derived | led-out.

The bubble sensor 23 can be constituted by, for example, an ultrasonic sensor that detects bubbles based on a difference in propagation efficiency of ultrasonic waves in a chemical solution.
 また、閉塞センサ24は、一対の突出片25cのそれぞれに設けられた検出子を有しており、両検出子の間で薬液の流通経路の閉塞を検出する。閉塞センサ24は、例えば、2つの磁性体間の距離の変動に基づいて第2導管6bの直径の変化を検出し、これに基づいて流通経路の閉塞を検出する。 Further, the blockage sensor 24 has a detector provided on each of the pair of projecting pieces 25c, and detects blockage of the flow path of the chemical solution between the two detectors. The blockage sensor 24 detects, for example, a change in the diameter of the second conduit 6b based on a change in the distance between the two magnetic bodies, and detects blockage of the flow path based on this change.
 基板20は、複数の素子と、これらの素子を電気的に接続する回路とを有している。具体的に、基板20は電池22からの直流電力を交流電力に変換する素子と、この素子と接続端子21とを接続するする回路とを備えている。また、基板20上に設けられた素子及び回路によって図9に示すメイン制御部28が構成されている。 The substrate 20 has a plurality of elements and a circuit that electrically connects these elements. Specifically, the substrate 20 includes an element that converts DC power from the battery 22 into AC power, and a circuit that connects the element and the connection terminal 21. Further, the main control unit 28 shown in FIG. 9 is configured by elements and circuits provided on the substrate 20.
 以下、図2及び図9を参照して、薬液送り機能付き輸液セット1Aの電気的構成について説明する。 Hereinafter, with reference to FIG.2 and FIG.9, the electrical structure of the infusion set 1A with a chemical | medical solution feeding function is demonstrated.
 上述のように、薬液送り機能付き輸液セット1Aは、使い捨ての輸液セット2と、再使用される制御装置3とを備えている。 As described above, the infusion set 1A with a chemical solution feeding function includes the disposable infusion set 2 and the controller 3 to be reused.
 輸液セット2は、ポンプ11を備え、制御装置3は、出力装置19と、メイン制御部28とを備えている。 The infusion set 2 includes a pump 11, and the control device 3 includes an output device 19 and a main control unit 28.
 出力装置19は、流量設定値等を表示する表示部19aと、流量設定値の変更及び輸液の開始及び停止の操作を行うための操作部19bと、操作部19bにより設定された流量設定値に相当する指令を作成するとともに表示部19aの表示を制御する出力制御部19cと、出力制御部19cにより作成された指令を無線でメイン制御部28に送信する送信部19dとを備えている。 The output device 19 includes a display unit 19a for displaying a flow rate set value, an operation unit 19b for changing the flow rate set value and starting / stopping the infusion, and a flow rate set value set by the operation unit 19b. An output control unit 19c that generates a corresponding command and controls the display of the display unit 19a, and a transmission unit 19d that wirelessly transmits the command generated by the output control unit 19c to the main control unit 28 are provided.
 メイン制御部28は、出力装置19から出力された指令を受信する受信部28aと、受信部28aで受信された指令に基づいてポンプ11に出力する駆動電圧を設定する電圧設定部28bと、電圧設定部28bにより設定された駆動電圧を接続端子21を介してポンプ11に出力する出力部28cとを備えている。 The main control unit 28 includes a reception unit 28a that receives a command output from the output device 19, a voltage setting unit 28b that sets a drive voltage output to the pump 11 based on the command received by the reception unit 28a, and a voltage And an output unit 28c that outputs the drive voltage set by the setting unit 28b to the pump 11 via the connection terminal 21.
 これにより、出力装置19により設定された流量で薬液が導出されるようにポンプ11を駆動することができる。 Thereby, the pump 11 can be driven so that the chemical solution is derived at the flow rate set by the output device 19.
 また、電圧設定部28bは、気泡センサ23により導管6内の薬液に気泡が検出された場合及び閉塞センサ24により流通経路の閉塞が検出された場合の少なくとも一方の場合に、ポンプ11を停止するように駆動電圧を設定する。 The voltage setting unit 28b stops the pump 11 when bubbles are detected in the chemical solution in the conduit 6 by the bubble sensor 23 and / or when blockage of the flow path is detected by the blockage sensor 24. The drive voltage is set as follows.
 なお、前記実施形態では、制御装置3専用の出力装置19を採用しているが、出力装置19は、携帯型情報通信端末(スマートフォン及びタブレット等)により代用することができる。 In addition, in the said embodiment, although the output device 19 only for the control apparatus 3 is employ | adopted, the output device 19 can be substituted by portable information communication terminals (a smart phone, a tablet, etc.).
 以上説明したように、導出部5を通じて導出するための力を薬液に与えるためのポンプ11が輸液セット2に含まれている。 As described above, the infusion set 2 includes the pump 11 for applying a force for deriving through the deriving unit 5 to the drug solution.
 ここで、接続導体15、圧電素子14及びダイヤフラム13を有するいわゆるダイヤフラムポンプは、その構造が簡素であるため、使い捨てに適している。また、制御装置3は、ポンプ11の接続導体15に対して電気的に接続していればよく薬液に対して接触しないため、再利用することができる。 Here, the so-called diaphragm pump having the connecting conductor 15, the piezoelectric element 14, and the diaphragm 13 is suitable for disposable because of its simple structure. Moreover, the control apparatus 3 should just be electrically connected with respect to the connection conductor 15 of the pump 11, and since it does not contact with a chemical | medical solution, it can be reused.
 したがって、特定の患者に使用された輸液セット2を他の患者に使用することなく使い捨てするとともに、制御装置3を再利用することにより感染を確実に防止することができる。 Therefore, the infusion set 2 used for a specific patient can be disposable without being used for other patients, and infection can be reliably prevented by reusing the control device 3.
 また、ポンプ11は、輸液セット2内の薬液に直接力を加えるために輸液セット2における薬液の経路に組み込まれたものであるため、可撓性チューブ及びシリンジの外側に設けられたポンプ部分(蠕動型ポンプ部及び押圧機構)を有する従来の装置に比べて、ポンプ部分と輸液セットとを合わせた構成を小型化することができる。 In addition, since the pump 11 is incorporated in the path of the chemical solution in the infusion set 2 in order to apply a force directly to the chemical solution in the infusion set 2, a pump portion (outside of the flexible tube and the syringe ( Compared with a conventional apparatus having a peristaltic pump unit and a pressing mechanism), the combined structure of the pump part and the infusion set can be reduced in size.
 したがって、感染の防止と薬液導出時の装置全体の小型化との両立を図ることができる。 Therefore, it is possible to achieve both the prevention of infection and the miniaturization of the entire apparatus when the chemical solution is derived.
 さらに、ポンプ11は、圧電素子14の伸縮によるダイヤフラム13の振動によって薬液を導出するものであるため、従来の装置と比較して、薬液の吐出開始から吐出流量が安定するまでの時間を短縮することができる。 Furthermore, since the pump 11 derives the chemical liquid by the vibration of the diaphragm 13 due to the expansion and contraction of the piezoelectric element 14, the time from the start of the chemical liquid discharge until the discharge flow rate is stabilized is shortened as compared with the conventional apparatus. be able to.
 具体的に、従来の輸液ポンプ及び輸液装置(蠕動ポンプ及び押圧機構)は、駆動源と、駆動源からの動力を蠕動の方向又はプランジャの押込方向の力に変換するための機構(ギヤ等)とを含む複雑な構造を有している。そのため、このような複雑な構造を安定した速度で駆動するためには長時間を要し、かつ、駆動源からの動力伝達におけるロスが大きい。 Specifically, a conventional infusion pump and infusion device (peristaltic pump and pressing mechanism) include a driving source and a mechanism (gear, etc.) for converting the power from the driving source into a force in the peristaltic direction or the pushing direction of the plunger. And a complicated structure. Therefore, it takes a long time to drive such a complex structure at a stable speed, and a loss in power transmission from the drive source is large.
 これに対し、ポンプ11は、上述のように圧電素子14の伸縮をそのままダイヤフラム13の振動のために用いるものであり、従来と比較して簡素な構成を有する。 On the other hand, the pump 11 uses the expansion and contraction of the piezoelectric element 14 as it is for the vibration of the diaphragm 13 as described above, and has a simple configuration as compared with the prior art.
 したがって、ポンプ11を用いた前記構成によれば、薬液の吐出開始から吐出流量が安定するまでの時間を短縮することができるとともに、駆動効率を向上することができる。 Therefore, according to the configuration using the pump 11, it is possible to shorten the time from the start of the discharge of the chemical liquid until the discharge flow rate is stabilized, and to improve the driving efficiency.
 また、第1実施形態によれば、以下の効果を奏することができる。 Further, according to the first embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
 ポンプ11は、導管6の途中部、つまり、接続部4及び導出部5から離れた位置に設けられているため、薬液との接触を避けるための医療従事者の負担を軽減することができる。 Since the pump 11 is provided in the middle of the conduit 6, that is, at a position away from the connection portion 4 and the lead-out portion 5, it is possible to reduce the burden on the medical staff for avoiding contact with the drug solution.
 第1突出片25b及び第2突出片(導管保持機構)により導管6を保持することができるため、この保持力を利用して輸液バッグB1と制御装置3との結合状態を確実に維持することができる。 Since the conduit 6 can be held by the first protruding piece 25b and the second protruding piece (conduit holding mechanism), the coupling state between the infusion bag B1 and the control device 3 can be reliably maintained using this holding force. Can do.
 しかも、第1突出片25b及び第2突出片25cには気泡センサ23及び閉塞センサ24が設けられているので、両センサ23、24による検出信号を利用して異常時にポンプ11を停止することができる。 Moreover, since the bubble sensor 23 and the blockage sensor 24 are provided on the first projecting piece 25b and the second projecting piece 25c, the pump 11 can be stopped in the event of an abnormality using the detection signals from both the sensors 23 and 24. it can.

 薬液送り機能付き輸液セットの流量精度の許容範囲を超えてフリーフロー時の薬液の流量が増加した場合(輸液バッグB1が潰されてしまった場合等)、当該フリーフローを停止させることが必要である。 If the flow rate of the chemical solution at the time of free flow exceeds the allowable range of the flow rate accuracy of the infusion set with the chemical solution feeding function (such as when the infusion bag B1 is crushed), it is necessary to stop the free flow. is there.
 ここで、フリーフロー時の薬液の流量は、輸液バッグB1内の薬液の圧力が大きくなるほど、大きくなる。 Here, the flow rate of the chemical solution during free flow increases as the pressure of the chemical solution in the infusion bag B1 increases.
 そこで、第3実施形態に係る薬液送り機能付き輸液セットは、輸液バッグB1内の薬液の圧力が予め設定された基準圧以上である場合に薬液の流通経路を閉じる切換弁47を有している。 Therefore, the infusion set with a medicinal solution feeding function according to the third embodiment has a switching valve 47 that closes the flow path of the medicinal solution when the pressure of the medicinal solution in the infusion bag B1 is equal to or higher than a preset reference pressure. .
 以下、図15を参照して、切換弁47について説明する。 Hereinafter, the switching valve 47 will be described with reference to FIG.
 切換弁47は、第1導入ポート47aを通じてポンプ11と接続されているとともに、第2導入ポート47bを通じて輸液バッグB1に直接接続されている。また、切換弁47は、導出ポート47cを通じて導管6に接続されている。 The switching valve 47 is connected to the pump 11 through the first introduction port 47a and directly connected to the infusion bag B1 through the second introduction port 47b. The switching valve 47 is connected to the conduit 6 through the outlet port 47c.
 具体的に、切換弁47は、第1導入ポート47aに接続された異常停止弁48と、異常停止弁48及び第2導入ポート47bに接続された高圧選択弁46とを備えている。 Specifically, the switching valve 47 includes an abnormal stop valve 48 connected to the first introduction port 47a and a high-pressure selection valve 46 connected to the abnormal stop valve 48 and the second introduction port 47b.
 高圧選択弁46は、ポンプ11が非作動の状態において第1導入ポート47aに接続された通路(以下、第1通路という)を閉じる一方、ポンプ11が作動中の状態において第1通路を開放して、ポンプ11から吐出された薬液を導管6に導くためのものである。 The high pressure selection valve 46 closes a passage (hereinafter referred to as a first passage) connected to the first introduction port 47a when the pump 11 is not operated, and opens the first passage when the pump 11 is operating. Thus, the chemical liquid discharged from the pump 11 is guided to the conduit 6.
 具体的に、高圧選択弁46は、第1通路及び第2導入ポート47bに接続された通路(以下、第2通路という)を閉じる初期位置46aと、第2通路を閉じたまま第1通路を開く切換位置46bとの間で切換可能である。また、高圧選択弁46は、差圧設定ばね46cによって初期位置46aに付勢されている。差圧設定ばね46cは、ポンプ11の作動時に生じる第1通路に対する第2通路の差圧に相当する圧力によって高圧選択弁46が切換位置46bに切り換えられるように設定された付勢力を有する。 Specifically, the high pressure selection valve 46 includes an initial position 46a for closing a passage connected to the first passage and the second introduction port 47b (hereinafter referred to as a second passage), and the first passage with the second passage closed. Switching between the open switching position 46b is possible. The high pressure selection valve 46 is biased to the initial position 46a by a differential pressure setting spring 46c. The differential pressure setting spring 46c has an urging force that is set so that the high-pressure selection valve 46 is switched to the switching position 46b by a pressure corresponding to the differential pressure of the second passage relative to the first passage generated when the pump 11 is operated.
 ポンプ11が非作動の状態においては、第1通路及び第2通路内の薬液の圧力が等しくなるため、高圧選択弁46は、差圧設定ばね46cの付勢力によって初期位置46aに切り換えられる。 When the pump 11 is not in operation, the pressures of the chemicals in the first passage and the second passage are equal, so the high pressure selection valve 46 is switched to the initial position 46a by the biasing force of the differential pressure setting spring 46c.
 一方、ポンプ11が作動すると、第1通路に対する第2通路の差圧が生じることにより、高圧選択弁46が切換位置46bに切り換えられ(付勢され)、ポンプ11から吐出された薬液が導管6に導かれる。 On the other hand, when the pump 11 is operated, a differential pressure in the second passage with respect to the first passage is generated, whereby the high-pressure selection valve 46 is switched (biased) to the switching position 46b, and the chemical solution discharged from the pump 11 is discharged from the conduit 6. Led to.
 異常停止弁48は、輸液バッグB1内の薬液の圧力が前記基準圧未満である場合に第1通路を開く一方、輸液バッグB1内の薬液の圧力が基準圧以上である場合に第1通路を閉じるためのものである。 The abnormal stop valve 48 opens the first passage when the pressure of the chemical solution in the infusion bag B1 is less than the reference pressure, while the first stop passage when the pressure of the chemical solution in the infusion bag B1 is equal to or higher than the reference pressure. It is for closing.
 具体的に、異常停止弁48は、第1通路を開く初期位置48aと、第1通路を閉じる切換位置48bとの間で切換可能である。また、異常停止弁48は、基準圧設定ばね48cによって初期位置48aに付勢されている。基準圧設定ばね48cは、輸液バッグB1内の薬液の圧力が基準圧となることにより異常停止弁48が切換位置48bに切り換えられるように設定された付勢力を有する。なお、初期位置48aには、背圧を発生させるための絞りが設けられているが、異常停止弁48の下流側の経路の流通抵抗が背圧を発生させるのに十分大きい場合には、この絞りを省略することもできる。 Specifically, the abnormal stop valve 48 can be switched between an initial position 48a for opening the first passage and a switching position 48b for closing the first passage. The abnormal stop valve 48 is biased to the initial position 48a by the reference pressure setting spring 48c. The reference pressure setting spring 48c has a biasing force that is set so that the abnormal stop valve 48 is switched to the switching position 48b when the pressure of the drug solution in the infusion bag B1 becomes the reference pressure. The initial position 48a is provided with a throttle for generating back pressure. If the flow resistance in the downstream path of the abnormal stop valve 48 is sufficiently large to generate back pressure, The aperture can be omitted.
 輸液バッグB1内の薬液が基準圧未満である場合、異常停止弁48は、初期位置48aに切り換えられる(付勢される)。この状態では、ポンプ11から吐出された薬液は、異常停止弁48及び高圧選択弁46を通じて導管6に導かれる。 When the drug solution in the infusion bag B1 is less than the reference pressure, the abnormal stop valve 48 is switched (biased) to the initial position 48a. In this state, the chemical discharged from the pump 11 is guided to the conduit 6 through the abnormal stop valve 48 and the high pressure selection valve 46.
 一方、輸液バッグB1内の薬液が基準圧以上である場合、異常停止弁48は、薬液の圧力によって切換位置48bに切り換えられる。これにより、第1通路が遮断され、薬液のフリーフローを防止することができる。 On the other hand, when the chemical solution in the infusion bag B1 is equal to or higher than the reference pressure, the abnormal stop valve 48 is switched to the switching position 48b by the pressure of the chemical solution. Thereby, a 1st channel | path is interrupted | blocked and the free flow of a chemical | medical solution can be prevented.
 上述した切換弁47は、図17に示すように薬液送り機能付き輸液セットに適用することができる。なお、図17では、薬液送り機能付き輸液セット1Bの薬液送り部32に切換弁47を適用した例について説明するが、本明細書において説明するすべての実施形態について切換弁47は適用可能である。 The switching valve 47 described above can be applied to an infusion set with a chemical feeding function as shown in FIG. In addition, in FIG. 17, although the example which applied the switching valve 47 to the chemical | medical solution feeding part 32 of the infusion set 1B with a chemical | medical solution feeding function is demonstrated, the switching valve 47 is applicable about all embodiment demonstrated in this specification. .
 図17を参照して、切換弁47は、薬液送り部32の第1ケース34及び第2ケース35内に収納されている。また、切換弁47の第1導入ポート47aは、中継管I2を通じてポンプ11の導出口12cに接続されている。切換弁47の第2導入ポート47bは、中継管I1を通じて針31に接続されている。切換弁47の導出ポート47cは、中継管I3を通じて導管6に接続されている。 Referring to FIG. 17, the switching valve 47 is housed in the first case 34 and the second case 35 of the chemical solution feeding unit 32. The first introduction port 47a of the switching valve 47 is connected to the outlet 12c of the pump 11 through the relay pipe I2. The second introduction port 47b of the switching valve 47 is connected to the needle 31 through the relay pipe I1. The outlet port 47c of the switching valve 47 is connected to the conduit 6 through the relay pipe I3.
 以上説明したように、第3実施形態によれば、輸液バッグB1内の薬液の圧力が基準圧力以上である場合に切換弁47によって流通経路を閉じることができるので、意図しない薬液の導出を防止することができる。 As described above, according to the third embodiment, the flow path can be closed by the switching valve 47 when the pressure of the chemical solution in the infusion bag B1 is equal to or higher than the reference pressure, thereby preventing unintentional derivation of the chemical solution. can do.
 しかも、切換弁47は、薬液の圧力によって流通経路を閉じる状態に切り換えられる、つまり、切換弁47を作動するための動力源(例えば電源)は、不要である。そのため、輸液バッグB1が接続された後であり、かつ、制御装置30が装着される前(電力が供給される前)の状況においても、意図しない薬液の導出を確実に防止することができる。 Moreover, the switching valve 47 is switched to a state in which the flow path is closed by the pressure of the chemical solution, that is, a power source (for example, a power source) for operating the switching valve 47 is unnecessary. Therefore, unintentional derivation of the chemical solution can be reliably prevented even in a situation after the infusion bag B1 is connected and before the control device 30 is mounted (before power is supplied).
 <第4実施形態>
 以下、本発明の第4実施形態に係る薬液送り機能付き輸液セット1Cについて説明する。
<Fourth embodiment>
Hereinafter, an infusion set 1C with a chemical solution feeding function according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described.
 図18を参照して、薬液送り機能付き輸液セット1Cは、バイアルB5に接続して使用される2つの輸液セット49と、シリンジSに接続して使用される1つの輸液セット50と、輸液セット49、50による薬液の送り動作を制御する制御装置51とを備えている。 Referring to FIG. 18, an infusion set 1C with a chemical solution feeding function includes two infusion sets 49 that are used by being connected to vial B5, one infusion set 50 that is used by being connected to syringe S, and an infusion set.

 上述した輸液バッグB1のバッグ本体B2は、薬液の導出に応じて容積を収縮する方向に変形可能な剛性を有するものである。そのため、薬液の導出によっても輸液バッグB1内の薬液の圧力は維持される。 The bag body B2 of the infusion bag B1 described above has rigidity that can be deformed in the direction of contracting the volume in accordance with the derivation of the chemical solution. Therefore, the pressure of the chemical solution in the infusion bag B1 is maintained also by the derivation of the chemical solution.
 これに対し、バイアルB5は、薬液の導出に応じてその形状を維持する剛性を有するものである。したがって、後述する輸液セット49は、バイアルB5からの薬液の導出に伴い当該バイアルB5内に外気を導入するための構成を有している。 On the other hand, the vial B5 has rigidity that maintains its shape in accordance with the derivation of the chemical solution. Therefore, the infusion set 49 to be described later has a configuration for introducing outside air into the vial B5 as the drug solution is led out from the vial B5.
 具体的に、輸液セット49は、薬液収納瓶B6内の薬液の受入を許容するようにバイアルB5のゴム栓を貫通可能な針52と、針52を介してバイアルB5から受け入れられた薬液を導出するための導出部5と、針52から導出部5に至る流通経路に沿って薬液を送る薬液送り部53と、薬液送り部53から導出部5に薬液を導くために薬液送り部53と導出部5とを連結する導管6とを備えている。 Specifically, the infusion set 49 derives the medicinal solution received from the vial B5 through the needle 52 that can penetrate the rubber stopper of the vial B5 so as to allow the acceptance of the medicinal solution in the medicinal solution storage bottle B6. The derivation unit 5 for performing the treatment, the chemical solution feeding unit 53 for feeding the chemical solution along the flow path from the needle 52 to the derivation unit 5, and the derivation with the chemical solution feeding unit 53 for guiding the chemical solution from the chemical solution feeding unit 53 to the derivation unit 5. And a conduit 6 connecting the portion 5.
 図19を参照して、針52は、バイアルB5内の薬液を受け入れるための薬液通路52aと、バイアルB5内に空気を導入するための空気通路(空気導入機構)52bとを有する。薬液通路52a及び空気通路52bの一端(図19の上端)は、針52がバイアルB5のゴム栓を貫通した状態で薬液収納瓶B6内に連通する開口を有している。一方、薬液通路52a及び空気通路52bの他端(図19の下端)は、薬液送り部53の内部まで延びている。 Referring to FIG. 19, the needle 52 has a chemical liquid passage 52a for receiving the chemical liquid in the vial B5 and an air passage (air introduction mechanism) 52b for introducing air into the vial B5. One end (the upper end in FIG. 19) of the chemical liquid passage 52a and the air passage 52b has an opening communicating with the chemical liquid storage bottle B6 in a state where the needle 52 penetrates the rubber stopper of the vial B5. On the other hand, the other ends (the lower ends in FIG. 19) of the chemical liquid passage 52 a and the air passage 52 b extend to the inside of the chemical liquid feeding portion 53.
 薬液送り部53は、ポンプ11と、針52からポンプ11までの薬液の経路を形成するための薬液通路形成部材54と、針52に対して空気を取り入れるための通路を形成する空気通路形成部材(空気導入機構)55と、空気通路形成部材55に設けられたフィルタ(空気導入機構)56と、薬液通路形成部材54、空気通路形成部材55、及びフィルタ56を収納する第1ケース(容器支持部材)57及び第2ケース58とを備えている。 The chemical liquid feeding unit 53 includes a pump 11, a chemical liquid passage forming member 54 for forming a chemical liquid path from the needle 52 to the pump 11, and an air passage forming member for forming a passage for taking air into the needle 52. (Air introduction mechanism) 55, a filter (air introduction mechanism) 56 provided in the air passage formation member 55, a chemical liquid passage formation member 54, an air passage formation member 55, and a first case (container support) that houses the filter 56 Member) 57 and a second case 58.
 薬液通路形成部材54は、針52の薬液通路52aの他端(図19の下端)とポンプ11の導入口12bとを接続する第1薬液通路54aと、ポンプ11の導出口12cと導管6とを接続する第2薬液通路54bとを備えている。第1薬液通路54aと導入口12bとの連通及び第2薬液通路54bと導出口12cとの連通が個別に実現されるように、ポンプ11と薬液通路形成部材54との間には、シール部材11bが設けられている。 The chemical liquid passage forming member 54 includes a first chemical liquid passage 54 a that connects the other end (the lower end in FIG. 19) of the chemical liquid passage 52 a of the needle 52 and the inlet 12 b of the pump 11, an outlet 12 c of the pump 11, and the conduit 6. 2nd chemical | medical solution channel | path 54b which connects. A seal member is provided between the pump 11 and the chemical liquid passage forming member 54 so that the communication between the first chemical liquid passage 54a and the inlet 12b and the communication between the second chemical liquid passage 54b and the outlet 12c are realized separately. 11b is provided.
 空気通路形成部材55は、針52の空気通路52bの他端(図19の下端)と連通する第1端と、両ケース57、58内で開口する第2端とを有する空気通路55aを備えている。フィルタ56は、空気の流れを許容するとともに液体の流れを規制するもの(例えば、疎水性フィルタ)であり、空気通路55aの第2端の開口を覆うように設けられている。 The air passage forming member 55 includes an air passage 55a having a first end communicating with the other end (the lower end in FIG. 19) of the air passage 52b of the needle 52 and a second end that opens in the cases 57 and 58. ing. The filter 56 allows air flow and restricts liquid flow (for example, a hydrophobic filter), and is provided so as to cover the opening at the second end of the air passage 55a.
 ポンプ11が作動すると、バイアルB5内の薬液は、針52の薬液通路52a及び薬液通路形成部材54の薬液通路54a、54bを通じて導管6に導かれる。このようにバイアルB5から薬液が導出されると、バイアルB5内の薬液の減少に伴い空気通路形成部材55の空気通路55a及び針52の空気通路52bを通じてバイアルB5内に空気(外気)が導入される。ここで、空気通路55a内に導入される空気はフィルタ56によってろ過される。 When the pump 11 is operated, the chemical solution in the vial B5 is guided to the conduit 6 through the chemical solution passage 52a of the needle 52 and the chemical solution passages 54a and 54b of the chemical solution passage forming member 54. As described above, when the chemical solution is derived from the vial B5, air (outside air) is introduced into the vial B5 through the air passage 55a of the air passage forming member 55 and the air passage 52b of the needle 52 as the chemical solution in the vial B5 decreases. The Here, the air introduced into the air passage 55 a is filtered by the filter 56.
 第1ケース57は、針52が貫通する天板57aを有する。この天板57aの表面(図19の上面)は、平坦に形成され、バイアルB5のゴム栓の外側面(ポートB7)を載置可能な載置面57bを構成する。 The first case 57 has a top plate 57a through which the needle 52 passes. The surface of the top plate 57a (upper surface in FIG. 19) is formed flat and constitutes a mounting surface 57b on which the outer surface (port B7) of the rubber stopper of the vial B5 can be mounted.
 第2ケース58は、第1ケース57との間で薬液通路形成部材54、空気通路形成部材55、及びフィルタ56を針52の軸線方向に挟むように第1ケース57に固定されている。 The second case 58 is fixed to the first case 57 so as to sandwich the chemical liquid passage forming member 54, the air passage forming member 55, and the filter 56 in the axial direction of the needle 52 between the second case 58 and the first case 57.
 図18及び図20を参照して、制御装置51は、基板20と、接続端子21と、電池22と、基板20及び電池22を収納する収納箱59と、収納箱59上に設けられた保護壁60とを備えている。 Referring to FIGS. 18 and 20, control device 51 includes substrate 20, connection terminal 21, battery 22, storage box 59 that stores substrate 20 and battery 22, and protection provided on storage box 59. And a wall 60.
 収納箱59は、針52の軸線を上下方向に沿わせるとともに薬液送り部53の載置面57bを上に向けた状態で薬液送り部53を装着可能である。 The storage box 59 can be mounted with the chemical solution feeding section 53 with the axis of the needle 52 extending in the vertical direction and the mounting surface 57b of the chemical solution feeding section 53 facing upward.
 具体的に、収納箱59は、底板59aと、底板59aの周縁部上に立設された側板59dと、底板59aと対向するように側板59dの上端部に固定された天板59bとを備え、これらの板59a、59b、59dにより囲まれた室内で基板20及び電池22を収納する。 Specifically, the storage box 59 includes a bottom plate 59a, a side plate 59d standing on the peripheral edge of the bottom plate 59a, and a top plate 59b fixed to the upper end of the side plate 59d so as to face the bottom plate 59a. The substrate 20 and the battery 22 are accommodated in a room surrounded by the plates 59a, 59b, and 59d.
 また、収納箱59は、天板59bから上に突出する一対の挟持壁59cを備えている。両挟持壁59cは、天板59b上において縦方向に延びるとともに横方向に互いに対向する。両挟持壁59c同士の間の間隔は、薬液送り部53を挟み込んだ状態で当該薬液送り部53を保持することができる間隔に設定されている。つまり、第4実施形態では、薬液送り部53が制御装置51を脱着可能に装着するための装着部に相当し、収納箱59が薬液送り部53が脱着可能に装着される被装着機構に相当する。 Further, the storage box 59 includes a pair of clamping walls 59c that protrude upward from the top plate 59b. Both sandwiching walls 59c extend in the vertical direction on the top plate 59b and face each other in the horizontal direction. The interval between the both clamping walls 59c is set to an interval at which the chemical solution feeding part 53 can be held in a state where the chemical solution feeding unit 53 is sandwiched. That is, in 4th Embodiment, the chemical | medical solution feeding part 53 is equivalent to the mounting part for mounting | wearing with the control apparatus 51 so that attachment or detachment is possible, and the storage box 59 is equivalent to the to-be-attached mechanism with which the chemical | medical solution feeding part 53 is detachably mounted. To do.
 なお、第4実施形態では、3つの輸液セット49、50を保持するために6つの挟持壁59cが設けられている。 In the fourth embodiment, six holding walls 59c are provided to hold the three infusion sets 49 and 50.
 また、天板59bには、挟持壁59c同士の間で天板59bを貫通する貫通穴59eが設けられている。接続端子21は、基板20から貫通穴59eを通じて挟持壁59c同士の間の位置まで延びている。したがって、挟持壁59c同士の間に薬液送り部53を装着することにより、ポンプ11の接続導体15(図20参照)と制御装置30の接続端子21とが電気的に接続される。 The top plate 59b is provided with a through hole 59e that penetrates the top plate 59b between the sandwiching walls 59c. The connection terminal 21 extends from the substrate 20 to a position between the holding walls 59c through the through hole 59e. Therefore, by attaching the chemical solution feeding part 53 between the holding walls 59c, the connection conductor 15 (see FIG. 20) of the pump 11 and the connection terminal 21 of the control device 30 are electrically connected.
 また、挟持壁59c同士の間に薬液送り部53を装着した状態で、当該薬液送り部53の載置面57b上にバイアルB5のゴム栓(ポートB7)の下面を載置することができる。 Further, the lower surface of the rubber stopper (port B7) of the vial B5 can be mounted on the mounting surface 57b of the chemical solution feeding section 53 with the chemical solution feeding section 53 mounted between the holding walls 59c.
 保護壁60は、導管6が延びる方向、及び上方を開放した状態で、輸液セット49の周囲を取り囲む。 The protective wall 60 surrounds the infusion set 49 in a direction in which the conduit 6 extends and in a state where the upper side is open.
 輸液セット50は、輸液セット49の針52に代えてシリンジSのオスルアーS1に接続するためのメスルアー61を有する。 The infusion set 50 has a female luer 61 for connecting to the male luer S1 of the syringe S instead of the needle 52 of the infusion set 49.
 ここで、シリンジSは、オスルアーS1を有する外筒S2と、外筒S2内を摺動するプランジャS3とを有する。そのため、外筒S2内の薬液がオスルアーS1を通じて導出されることに伴い、薬液が収納される室が縮小する方向にプランジャS3が外筒S2に対して移動することが可能である。 Here, the syringe S has an outer cylinder S2 having a male luer S1 and a plunger S3 sliding in the outer cylinder S2. Therefore, the plunger S3 can move with respect to the outer cylinder S2 in a direction in which the chamber in which the chemical liquid is stored is reduced as the chemical liquid in the outer cylinder S2 is led out through the male luer S1.
 そのため、輸液セット50では、輸液セット49とは異なり、シリンジS内に空気を導入するための構成(針52の空気通路52b及び空気通路形成部材55)が省略されている。 Therefore, in the infusion set 50, unlike the infusion set 49, the configuration for introducing air into the syringe S (the air passage 52b of the needle 52 and the air passage forming member 55) is omitted.
 以上説明したように、第4実施形態によれば、薬液が導出してもその形状が維持されるバイアルB5を使用する場合であっても、空気導入機構(空気通路52b、空気通路形成部材55及びフィルタ56)によってバイアルB5内へ空気を導入することができるため、バイアルB5内の薬液の圧力変動を抑制することができる。 As described above, according to the fourth embodiment, the air introduction mechanism (the air passage 52b, the air passage forming member 55) is used even when the vial B5 that maintains its shape even when the chemical solution is led out is used. Since the air can be introduced into the vial B5 by the filter 56), the pressure fluctuation of the chemical solution in the vial B5 can be suppressed.
 したがって、バイアルB5内の圧力変動に伴う薬液の流量の変動を抑えることができる。 Therefore, fluctuations in the flow rate of the chemical solution accompanying fluctuations in pressure in the vial B5 can be suppressed.
 また、バイアルB5に対して空気通路55aを通じた外気の導入が許容されるため、輸液セット49を介して導出された薬液の容量に見合った外気を自動的にバイアルB5内に導入することができる。 In addition, since introduction of outside air through the air passage 55a is allowed to the vial B5, outside air corresponding to the volume of the drug solution derived through the infusion set 49 can be automatically introduced into the vial B5. .
 しかも、空気通路55aに導入される外気をフィルタ56によってろ過することができるため、外気に含まれる汚染物質によってバイアルB5内の薬液が汚染されるのを防止することができる。 In addition, since the outside air introduced into the air passage 55a can be filtered by the filter 56, it is possible to prevent the chemical solution in the vial B5 from being contaminated by the contaminant contained in the outside air.
 ここで、バイアルB5は、自立可能に形成されているため、バイアルB5のゴム栓(ポートB7)を下向きに配置することにより、バイアルB5内の薬液を最後まで速やかに導出することできる。 Here, since the vial B5 is formed so as to be able to stand by itself, the drug solution in the vial B5 can be quickly led out to the end by arranging the rubber stopper (port B7) of the vial B5 downward.
 第4実施形態では、ゴム栓(ポートB7)を下に向け、かつ、ゴム栓を第1ケース57の載置面57b上に載置することにより、ゴム栓を下に向けた状態でバイアルB5を自立させることができる。 In the fourth embodiment, the rubber plug (port B7) faces downward and the rubber plug is placed on the placement surface 57b of the first case 57, so that the vial B5 is placed with the rubber stopper faced downward. Can be made independent.
 したがって、輸液セット49を介した薬液の導出を最後まで速やかに行うことができる。 Therefore, the derivation of the chemical solution through the infusion set 49 can be performed promptly to the end.

And a conduit 6 for connecting the chemical solution feeding unit 66 and the outlet unit 5 in order to guide the chemical solution from the chemical solution feeding unit 66 to the outlet unit 5.
 薬液送り部66は、図示を省略するがポンプ11を有する。 The chemical solution feeding unit 66 includes the pump 11 although not shown.
 制御装置63は、基板20(図示せず)及び接続端子21を有する制御装置本体64と、制御装置本体64の接続端子21とポンプ11の接続導体15(図示せず)とが接続された状態で薬液送り部66、メスルアー61及びシリンジSを収納するシリンジケース(被覆部材)65とを備えている。 The control device 63 is in a state in which the control device main body 64 having the substrate 20 (not shown) and the connection terminal 21, the connection terminal 21 of the control device main body 64, and the connection conductor 15 (not shown) of the pump 11 are connected. And a syringe case (covering member) 65 for storing the chemical solution feeding section 66, the female luer 61, and the syringe S.
 シリンジケース65は、制御装置本体64が設けられたケース本体65aと、ケース本体65aを開閉可能な蓋65bとを備えている。図21に示すように、蓋65bを開放した状態で、薬液送り部66、メスルアー61及びシリンジSをケース本体65a内に収納することができる。なお、ケース本体65aには、導管6を通すための切欠き65bが設けられている。 The syringe case 65 includes a case main body 65a provided with a control device main body 64 and a lid 65b capable of opening and closing the case main body 65a. As shown in FIG. 21, the chemical solution feeding section 66, the female luer 61, and the syringe S can be stored in the case main body 65a with the lid 65b opened.

That is, the chemical solution feeding part 66 corresponds to the mounting part, and the case main body 65a corresponds to the mounted mechanism.
 以上説明したように、第5実施形態によれば、シリンジケース65によってシリンジSを保護することができるので、シリンジSに外力が加わることによりシリンジSが損傷するのを防止することができる。 As described above, according to the fifth embodiment, since the syringe S can be protected by the syringe case 65, it is possible to prevent the syringe S from being damaged by an external force applied to the syringe S.
 また、シリンジS及び輸液バッグB1のように、薬液の導出に応じて容積が減少する方向に変形する薬液容器を採用する場合、薬液容器に外力が加わると薬液容器内の薬液の圧力が変動し、薬液の流量が変動する。これに対し、前記第5実施形態によれば、薬液容器に外力が加わるのを抑制することができるので、薬液の流量の変動を抑制することができる。 Further, when a chemical solution container that deforms in a direction in which the volume decreases in accordance with the derivation of the chemical solution, such as the syringe S and the infusion bag B1, when the external force is applied to the chemical solution container, the pressure of the chemical solution in the chemical solution container changes. The flow rate of the chemical solution fluctuates. On the other hand, according to the fifth embodiment, it is possible to suppress the external force from being applied to the chemical solution container, and thus it is possible to suppress the fluctuation in the flow rate of the chemical solution.
 なお、第1~第5実施形態について説明したが、これらの実施形態を組み合わせた構成を採用することも可能である。 Although the first to fifth embodiments have been described, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which these embodiments are combined.

 なお、上述した具体的実施形態には以下の構成を有する発明が主に含まれている。 The specific embodiments described above mainly include inventions having the following configurations.
 すなわち、本発明は、薬液を収納する薬液容器に接続されるとともに前記薬液容器内の薬液を患者に導くための輸液セットであって、前記薬液容器からの薬液の受入れを許容するように前記薬液容器に接続可能な接続部と、前記接続部を介して前記薬液容器から受け入れられた薬液を導出するための導出部と、前記接続部から前記導出部に薬液を導くために前記接続部と前記導出部との間に設けられた導管と、接続導体と、前記接続導体を介して供給される駆動電圧によって伸長と収縮とを繰り返す圧電素子と、前記圧電素子の伸長及び収縮によって振動するダイヤフラムとを有し、前記駆動電圧の供給に応じて前記導出部を通じて導出するための力を薬液に与えるポンプと、前記ポンプに対して駆動電圧を供給するための制御装置と前記接続導体とが電気的に接続された状態で前記制御装置を着脱可能に装着するための装着部とを備えている、輸液セットを提供する。 That is, the present invention is an infusion set for guiding a chemical solution in the chemical solution container to a patient while being connected to the chemical solution container that stores the chemical solution, and accepting the chemical solution from the chemical solution container. A connecting portion connectable to a container, a deriving portion for deriving a chemical solution received from the chemical solution container via the connecting portion, and the connecting portion and the connection portion for guiding the chemical solution from the connecting portion to the deriving portion. A conduit provided between the lead-out portion, a connection conductor, a piezoelectric element that repeats expansion and contraction by a driving voltage supplied via the connection conductor, and a diaphragm that vibrates due to expansion and contraction of the piezoelectric element; A pump for supplying a chemical with a force for deriving through the deriving unit in response to the supply of the drive voltage, a control device for supplying the drive voltage to the pump, and And connection conductors and a mounting portion for detachably mounting the control device in a state of being electrically connected to provide an infusion set.
 本発明によれば、導出部を通じて導出するための力を薬液に与えるためのポンプが輸液セットに含まれている。 According to the present invention, the infusion set includes a pump for giving the drug solution a force for deriving through the deriving unit.
 ここで、接続導体、圧電素子及びダイヤフラムを有するいわゆるダイヤフラムポンプは、その構造が簡素であるため、使い捨てに適している。また、制御装置は、ポンプの接続導体に対して電気的に接続していればよく薬液に対して接触しないため、再利用することができる。 Here, a so-called diaphragm pump having a connection conductor, a piezoelectric element, and a diaphragm is suitable for disposable because of its simple structure. Moreover, since the control apparatus should just be electrically connected with respect to the connection conductor of a pump and does not contact with a chemical | medical solution, it can be reused.
 したがって、特定の患者に使用された輸液セットを他の患者に使用することなく使い捨てするとともに、制御装置を再利用することにより感染を確実に防止することができる。 Therefore, the infusion set used for a specific patient can be discarded without being used for other patients, and infection can be reliably prevented by reusing the control device.
 また、ダイヤフラムポンプは、輸液セット内の薬液に直接力を加えるために輸液セットにおける薬液の経路に組み込まれたものであるため、可撓性チューブ及びシリンジの外側に設けられたポンプ部分(蠕動型ポンプ部及び押圧機構)を有する従来の装置に比べて、ポンプ部分と輸液セットとを合わせた構成を小型化することができる。 Moreover, since the diaphragm pump is incorporated in the path of the chemical solution in the infusion set in order to directly apply the force to the chemical solution in the infusion set, the pump part (peristaltic type) provided outside the flexible tube and the syringe Compared with a conventional device having a pump unit and a pressing mechanism), the combined structure of the pump part and the infusion set can be reduced in size.
 したがって、本発明によれば、感染の防止と薬液導出時の装置全体の小型化との両立を図ることができる。 Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to achieve both prevention of infection and downsizing of the entire apparatus when the chemical solution is derived.
 さらに、ダイヤフラムポンプは、圧電素子の伸縮によるダイヤフラムの振動によって薬液を導出するものであるため、従来の装置と比較して、薬液の吐出開始から吐出流量が安定するまでの時間を短縮することができる。 Furthermore, since the diaphragm pump derives the chemical liquid by the vibration of the diaphragm due to expansion and contraction of the piezoelectric element, it can shorten the time from the start of the chemical liquid discharge until the discharge flow rate is stabilized as compared with the conventional apparatus. it can.
 具体的に、従来の輸液ポンプ及び輸液装置(蠕動ポンプ及び押圧機構)は、駆動源と、駆動源からの動力を蠕動の方向又はプランジャの押込方向の力に変換するための機構(ギヤ等)とを含む複雑な構造を有している。そのため、このような複雑な構造を安定した速度で駆動するためには長時間を要し、かつ、駆動源からの動力伝達におけるロスが大きい。 Specifically, a conventional infusion pump and infusion device (peristaltic pump and pressing mechanism) include a driving source and a mechanism (gear, etc.) for converting the power from the driving source into a force in the peristaltic direction or the pushing direction of the plunger. And a complicated structure. Therefore, it takes a long time to drive such a complex structure at a stable speed, and a loss in power transmission from the drive source is large.
 これに対し、ダイヤフラムポンプは、上述のように圧電素子の伸縮をそのままダイヤフラムの振動のために用いるものであり、従来と比較して簡素な構成を有する。 On the other hand, the diaphragm pump uses the expansion and contraction of the piezoelectric element as it is for vibration of the diaphragm as described above, and has a simpler structure than the conventional one.
 したがって、ダイヤフラムポンプを用いた本発明によれば、薬液の吐出開始から吐出流量が安定するまでの時間を短縮することができるとともに、駆動効率を向上することができる。 Therefore, according to the present invention using the diaphragm pump, it is possible to shorten the time from the start of the discharge of the chemical solution to the stabilization of the discharge flow rate and to improve the driving efficiency.
 ここで、ダイヤフラムポンプは、その入り口側から出口側に向かう薬液の流れを許容する構成を有するため、例えば、薬液容器に外力が加わって薬液容器内の薬液の圧力が上がると、当該薬液容器内の薬液が意図せず導出部から導出されるおそれがある。 Here, since the diaphragm pump has a configuration that allows the flow of the chemical liquid from the inlet side to the outlet side, for example, when an external force is applied to the chemical liquid container to increase the pressure of the chemical liquid in the chemical liquid container, There is a possibility that the chemical solution is unintentionally derived from the deriving unit.
 そこで、前記輸液セットにおいて、前記接続部から前記導出部までの間の薬液の流通経路に設けられ、前記薬液容器内の薬液の圧力が予め設定された基準圧以上である場合に当該薬液の圧力によって前記流通経路を閉じる状態に切り換えられる一方、前記薬液容器内の薬液の圧力が前記基準圧未満である場合に前記流通経路を開ける状態に復帰する切換弁をさらに備えていることが好ましい。 Therefore, in the infusion set, when the pressure of the chemical solution in the chemical solution flow path from the connection portion to the outlet portion is equal to or higher than a preset reference pressure, the pressure of the chemical solution It is preferable to further include a switching valve that returns to a state in which the flow path is opened when the pressure of the chemical liquid in the chemical liquid container is lower than the reference pressure.
 この態様によれば、薬液容器内の薬液の圧力が基準圧力以上である場合に切換弁によって流通経路を閉じることができるので、意図しない薬液の導出を防止することができる。 According to this aspect, since the flow path can be closed by the switching valve when the pressure of the chemical solution in the chemical solution container is equal to or higher than the reference pressure, unintentional derivation of the chemical solution can be prevented.
 しかも、前記態様では、切換弁が薬液の圧力によって流通経路を閉じる状態に切り換えられる、つまり、切換弁を作動するための動力源(例えば電源)が不要である。そのため、薬液容器が接続された後であり、かつ、制御装置が装着される前(電力が供給される前)の状況においても、意図しない薬液の導出を確実に防止することができる。 Moreover, in the above aspect, the switching valve is switched to a state in which the flow path is closed by the pressure of the chemical solution, that is, a power source (for example, a power source) for operating the switching valve is unnecessary. Therefore, unintentional derivation of the chemical solution can be reliably prevented even in a situation after the chemical solution container is connected and before the control device is mounted (before power is supplied).
 ポンプは、接続部又は導出部に設けることも可能であるが、接続部及び導出部は、薬液が接触する可能性の高い部分である。そのため、接続部又は導出部にポンプを設けた場合、医療従事者は、薬液との接触を避ける細心の注意を払いながらポンプを扱う(例えば、制御部材をポンプに装着する)必要がある。 The pump can be provided at the connection part or the lead-out part, but the connection part and the lead-out part are parts that are highly likely to come into contact with the chemical solution. Therefore, when a pump is provided at the connection part or the lead-out part, the medical worker needs to handle the pump while paying close attention to avoid contact with the drug solution (for example, mounting a control member on the pump).
 そこで、前記ポンプは、前記導管の途中部に設けられていることが好ましい。 Therefore, it is preferable that the pump is provided in the middle of the conduit.
 この態様によれば、接続部及び導出部から離れた位置にポンプが設けられているため、薬液との接触を避けるための医療従事者の負担を軽減することができる。 According to this aspect, since the pump is provided at a position away from the connection part and the lead-out part, it is possible to reduce the burden on the medical staff for avoiding contact with the drug solution.
 ここで、薬液容器が輸液セットを介した薬液の導出に伴い容積を減少させる方向に変形する剛性を有していれば、薬液の導出によっても薬液容器内の薬液の圧力は維持される。一方、薬液容器が輸液セットを介した薬液の導出によってもその形状を維持する剛性を有する場合、導出された薬液の容量に相当する流体を薬液容器に導入しなければ薬液容器内の薬液の圧力を維持することはできない。 Here, if the chemical solution container has a rigidity that deforms in the direction of decreasing the volume as the chemical solution is led out through the infusion set, the pressure of the chemical solution in the chemical solution container is maintained even when the chemical solution is led out. On the other hand, if the chemical container has rigidity to maintain its shape even when the chemical solution is derived through the infusion set, the pressure of the chemical solution in the chemical solution container must be introduced unless a fluid corresponding to the volume of the derived chemical solution is introduced into the chemical solution container. Can not be maintained.
 そこで、前記薬液容器内へ空気を導入するための空気導入機構をさらに備えていることが好ましい。 Therefore, it is preferable that an air introduction mechanism for introducing air into the chemical solution container is further provided.
 この態様によれば、薬液容器が薬液の導出によってもその形状を維持する剛性を有する場合であっても、空気導入機構によって薬液容器内へ空気を導入することができるため、薬液容器内の薬液の圧力変動を抑制することができる。 According to this aspect, since the air can be introduced into the chemical liquid container by the air introduction mechanism even when the chemical liquid container has rigidity to maintain its shape even when the chemical liquid is led out, the chemical liquid in the chemical liquid container The pressure fluctuation can be suppressed.
 したがって、薬液容器内の圧力変動に伴う薬液の流量の変動を抑えることができる。 Therefore, it is possible to suppress fluctuations in the flow rate of the chemical liquid accompanying pressure fluctuations in the chemical liquid container.
 前記輸液セットにおいて、前記空気導入機構は、前記薬液容器内への外気の導入を許容するように前記接続部に形成された空気通路と、前記空気通路内に導入される外気をろ過するフィルタとを備えていることが好ましい。 In the infusion set, the air introduction mechanism includes an air passage formed in the connection portion so as to allow introduction of outside air into the chemical solution container, and a filter that filters outside air introduced into the air passage. It is preferable to provide.
 この態様によれば、薬液容器に対して空気通路を通じた外気の導入が許容されるため、輸液セットを介して導出された薬液の容量に見合った外気を自動的に薬液容器内に導入することができる。 According to this aspect, since introduction of outside air through the air passage is allowed to the chemical solution container, outside air corresponding to the volume of the chemical solution derived through the infusion set is automatically introduced into the chemical solution container. Can do.
 しかも、空気通路に導入される外気をフィルタによってろ過することができるため、外気に含まれる汚染物質によって薬液容器内の薬液が汚染されるのを防止することができる。 Moreover, since the outside air introduced into the air passage can be filtered by the filter, it is possible to prevent the chemical solution in the chemical solution container from being contaminated by the contaminant contained in the outside air.
 薬液容器が自立可能に形成されている場合、薬液容器のゴム栓を下向きに配置することにより、薬液容器内の薬液を最後まで速やかに導出することができる。 When the chemical solution container is formed so as to be able to stand on its own, the chemical solution in the chemical solution container can be quickly drawn out to the end by arranging the rubber stopper of the chemical solution container downward.
 そこで、前記接続部は、前記薬液容器のゴム栓をその外面から内面まで貫くための針を有し、前記輸液セットは、前記針が前記ゴム栓を貫いた状態で前記ゴム栓の外面を載置するための載置面を有する容器支持部材をさらに備えていることが好ましい。 Therefore, the connecting portion has a needle for penetrating the rubber plug of the chemical solution container from the outer surface to the inner surface, and the infusion set mounts the outer surface of the rubber plug with the needle penetrating the rubber plug. It is preferable to further include a container support member having a placement surface for placement.
 この態様によれば、ゴム栓の外面を下に向け、かつ、ゴム栓を容器支持部材の載置面上に載置することにより、ゴム栓を下に向けた状態で薬液容器を自立させることができる。 According to this aspect, by placing the rubber plug on the mounting surface of the container support member with the outer surface of the rubber plug facing down, the chemical container can be made self-supporting with the rubber plug facing down. Can do.
 したがって、輸液セットを介した薬液の導出を最後まで速やかに行うことができる。 Therefore, the derivation of the chemical solution through the infusion set can be performed promptly to the end.
 また、本発明は、前記輸液セットに装着される制御装置であって、前記ポンプの接続導体と電気的に接続可能な接続端子と、前記接続導体と前記接続端子とが電気的に接続された状態で前記輸液セットの装着部が脱着可能に装着される被装着機構とを備えている、制御装置を提供する。 Further, the present invention is a control device mounted on the infusion set, wherein a connection terminal electrically connectable with a connection conductor of the pump, and the connection conductor and the connection terminal are electrically connected. There is provided a control device comprising a mounting mechanism on which a mounting portion of the infusion set is detachably mounted in a state.
 前記制御装置は、前記被装着機構に前記輸液セットの装着部が装着された状態で前記導管を保持可能な導管保持機構と、前記導管保持機構に設けられ、前記導管内の薬液の流通に異常が発生しているか否かを検出可能な検出器とをさらに備えていることが好ましい。 The control device is provided in the conduit holding mechanism capable of holding the conduit in a state in which the mounting portion of the infusion set is mounted on the mounted mechanism, and the conduit holding mechanism has an abnormality in the flow of the chemical solution in the conduit It is preferable to further include a detector capable of detecting whether or not the above has occurred.
 この態様によれば、導管保持機構により導管を保持することができるため、この保持力を利用して輸液セットと制御装置との結合状態を確実に維持することができる。 According to this aspect, since the conduit can be held by the conduit holding mechanism, it is possible to reliably maintain the coupling state between the infusion set and the control device using this holding force.
 しかも、導管保持機構には検出器が設けられているので、検出器による検出信号を利用して異常時にポンプを停止する等の措置を講じることができる。 Furthermore, since the detector is provided in the conduit holding mechanism, it is possible to take measures such as stopping the pump in the event of an abnormality using the detection signal from the detector.
 また、前記制御装置は、前記被装着機構に前記輸液セットの装着部が装着された状態で前記薬液容器の一部を保持可能な容器保持機構をさらに備えていることが好ましい。 Further, it is preferable that the control device further includes a container holding mechanism capable of holding a part of the chemical solution container in a state where the mounting portion of the infusion set is mounted on the mounted mechanism.
 この態様によれば、容器保持機構により薬液容器を保持することができるため、この保持力を利用して輸液セットと制御装置との結合状態を確実に維持することができる。 According to this aspect, since the chemical solution container can be held by the container holding mechanism, the coupling state between the infusion set and the control device can be reliably maintained using this holding force.
 さらに、前記制御装置は、前記被装着機構に前記輸液セットの装着部が装着された状態で前記薬液容器の全体を被覆可能な被覆部材をさらに備えていることが好ましい。 Furthermore, it is preferable that the control device further includes a covering member capable of covering the whole of the drug solution container in a state where the mounting portion of the infusion set is mounted on the mounted mechanism.
 この態様によれば、被覆部材によって薬液容器を保護することができるので、薬液容器に外力が加わることにより薬液容器が損傷するのを防止することができる。 According to this aspect, since the chemical liquid container can be protected by the covering member, it is possible to prevent the chemical liquid container from being damaged when an external force is applied to the chemical liquid container.
 また、薬液容器が薬液の導出に応じて容積が減少する方向に変形可能な剛性を有する場合、薬液容器に外力が加わると薬液容器内の薬液の圧力が変動し、薬液の流量が変動する。これに対し、前記態様によれば、薬液容器に外力が加わるのを抑制することができるので、薬液の流量の変動を抑制することができる。 In addition, when the chemical solution container has a rigidity that can be deformed in a direction in which the volume decreases in accordance with the lead-out of the chemical solution, when an external force is applied to the chemical solution container, the pressure of the chemical solution in the chemical solution container changes, and the flow rate of the chemical solution changes. On the other hand, according to the said aspect, since it can suppress that external force is added to a chemical | medical solution container, the fluctuation | variation of the flow volume of a chemical | medical solution can be suppressed.
