本發明各種有利之改進或較佳實施例,構成各專利請求附屬項之主題。Various advantageous refinements or preferred embodiments of the invention form the subject matter of the various patent claims.

根據本發明一較佳實施例之器件,包括至少一外周式支承裝置。第一接觸部可安裝在該支承裝置的內部。A device in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes at least one peripheral support device. The first contact portion can be mounted inside the support device.

適合的「支承裝置」可為一穩固支承裝置,諸如一支承框架。支承裝置可為容置裝置的一部份,用以容置該至少一外部功能性裝置。A suitable "support device" can be a stable support device such as a support frame. The support device can be part of the receiving device for receiving the at least one external functional device.

支承裝置可經由摩擦方式、殼式閉合及/或實質接頭而與設備連接。The support device can be coupled to the device via a frictional, shell-like closure and/or a substantial joint.

支承裝置可與第一及/或第二接觸部連接。The support device can be coupled to the first and/or second contact.

尤其是,當第一接觸部係設計成一AS板時,第一接觸部可以設置在支承裝置圍住部份或內部的表面上,面向第二接觸部及/或外部功能性裝置。In particular, when the first contact portion is designed as an AS plate, the first contact portion can be disposed on a surface surrounding the portion or interior of the support device facing the second contact portion and/or the external functional device.

第一接觸部可設置在支承裝置之內部,令第一接觸部之一表面與支承裝置之一表面位於同一平面。特別是,第一接觸部朝向第二接觸部及/或外部功能性裝置的那一表面,以及支承裝置朝向第二接觸部及/或外部功能性裝置的那一表面,可位於同一平面。The first contact portion may be disposed inside the support device such that one surface of the first contact portion is in the same plane as one of the surfaces of the support device. In particular, the surface of the first contact portion facing the second contact portion and/or the external functional device, and the surface of the support device facing the second contact portion and/or the external functional device, may lie in the same plane.

支承裝置與設於其內部的第一接觸部之間,可設一開孔或一自由空間。此開孔可形成一間隙,尤其是一外周間隙。An opening or a free space may be provided between the supporting device and the first contact portion disposed therein. This opening can form a gap, especially a peripheral gap.

第一接觸部可以活動方式安裝在支承裝置內部。設置第一接觸部時,令其可以擺動,尤其可沿垂直其表面之軸線擺動。The first contact portion can be mounted in a movable manner inside the support device. When the first contact portion is provided, it can be swung, in particular, can be swung along an axis perpendicular to its surface.

在更一較佳實施例中,兩個接觸部中至少有一個係在安裝時,令其可以至少一轉軸為中心而旋轉。藉此所達成的旋轉或擺動可能性,應視為本發明意義內的活動性。In a further preferred embodiment, at least one of the two contacts is mounted such that it can rotate about at least one of the axes of rotation. The possibility of rotation or oscillation achieved thereby should be considered as activity within the meaning of the invention.

旋轉軸或以下述及的軸體,亦可視為多數軸體,只要具備此類技術領域之技能的人士認可多數軸體在技術上為可行即可。若多個旋轉或擺動動作可能在同一時間內以一個以上的軸向動作時,為便於閱讀,在以下說明中亦將之歸入以一個軸向旋轉或擺動的動作。然而,此種歸類之目的並非用以限制本發明。The rotating shaft or the shaft body described below can also be regarded as a majority of the shaft body, as long as those skilled in the art have recognized that most shaft bodies are technically feasible. If a plurality of rotating or oscillating motions may be operated in more than one axial direction at the same time, for ease of reading, the following description also categorizes the motion by one axial rotation or swing. However, such classification is not intended to limit the invention.

轉軸可為一「實體」轉軸。在本發明之意義範圍內,實體轉軸可為一有形軸體,它可以是經由連接至少一個接觸部與該支承裝置而形成一立體(三維)的硬質軸體。實體轉軸可以相對設備使用期間的典型方位或相對地球中心而成水平或垂直定向。The hinge can be a "solid" shaft. Within the meaning of the invention, the solid shaft can be a shaped shaft body, which can be a solid (3D) hard shaft body formed by connecting at least one contact portion to the support device. The physical axis of rotation can be oriented horizontally or vertically relative to the typical orientation during use of the device or relative to the center of the earth.

實體軸可設計成固定軸或旋轉軸。較佳是,它包括至少一適合的軸承。此軸承可用第一接觸部及/或第二接觸部與支承裝置間的安裝接頭及/或設備的其他零組件來構成。The solid shaft can be designed as a fixed or rotating shaft. Preferably, it includes at least one suitable bearing. The bearing may be constructed from a first contact and/or a second contact and a mounting joint between the support device and/or other components of the device.

前述安裝接頭例如可包括軸針(嵌入及/或***適合的安裝容置裝置)、滾珠軸承、滾柱軸承、減摩軸承(滾動軸承)、滑動軸承等,但不限於此。The aforementioned mounting joint may include, for example, a shaft pin (embedded and/or inserted into a suitable mounting receiving device), a ball bearing, a roller bearing, an antifriction bearing (rolling bearing), a sliding bearing, etc., but is not limited thereto.

或者,根據本發明之「軸體」,亦可視為位於三度空間內的軸體或一空間內的單一方向軸體。因此,在此情況中,此軸體與前述之有形軸體比較時,為虛擬且無形之軸。Alternatively, the "shaft" according to the present invention may also be regarded as a shaft body located in a three-dimensional space or a single-direction shaft body in a space. Therefore, in this case, the shaft body is a virtual and invisible axis when compared with the aforementioned shaped shaft body.

在本發明意義範圍內之軸體,可視為一旋轉中心或中心點,前述接觸部可以之為中心而環繞旋轉並因此移動。由於接觸部具有以此軸體為中心的活動性,因此容許外部功能性裝置與設備或器件連接時,可作擺動動作。A shaft body within the meaning of the invention can be regarded as a center of rotation or a center point, and the aforementioned contact portion can be centered and rotated around and thus moved. Since the contact portion has mobility centering on the shaft body, the external functional device can be oscillated when it is connected to the device or device.

在每一實施例中,所述軸體可通過接觸部。然而,此軸體亦可在接觸部的外部延伸。In each embodiment, the shaft body can pass through the contact portion. However, the shaft body can also extend outside the contact portion.

當外部功能性裝置在連接情況時,所述軸體可通過器件的內部及/或通過設備的內部。When the external functional device is in a connected condition, the shaft can pass through the interior of the device and/or through the interior of the device.

軸體延伸的方式,較佳可允許各個接觸部僅藉一轉動或擺動,即可以此軸體為中心而作旋轉或擺動動作,但器件或設備上的其他零組件並不旋轉。較佳是,當可旋轉之接觸部是作為與外部功能性裝置間的耦接表面或所謂的機器介面時,特別適於達成上述目的。The manner in which the shaft body extends preferably allows each contact portion to be rotated or oscillated about the shaft body by only one rotation or swing, but the other components on the device or device do not rotate. Preferably, the above object is particularly suitable when the rotatable contact is a coupling surface or so-called machine interface between the external functional device.

設置軸體時,可令其允許至少一接觸部作補償動作,以補償公差、形狀擬合不足、磨損現象等,然而不會允許組件作更進一步的旋轉動作。When the shaft body is set, it can be allowed to compensate at least one contact portion to compensate for tolerance, insufficient shape fitting, wear phenomenon, etc., but does not allow the component to perform further rotation.

在一較佳實施例中,兩個接觸部中至少有一個接觸部係借助至少一球窩接頭而安裝。In a preferred embodiment, at least one of the two contact portions is mounted by means of at least one ball joint.

借助球窩接頭而安裝的接觸部可在空間中全向活動。例如,第一接觸部可用此種方式安裝,以便可在空間中全向旋轉。The contacts mounted by means of the ball joint can be omnidirectional in space. For example, the first contact can be mounted in such a way as to be omnidirectional in space.

在更一較佳實施例中,第一及第二接觸部二者都具有旋轉軸。在一較佳方式中,兩接觸部的旋轉軸(全部或只有其中之一)係彼此平行配置。兩旋轉軸可各自表現為一實體、有形、具體或虛擬旋轉軸。兩旋轉軸可用彼此相同或不同的方式設計。In a further preferred embodiment, both the first and second contacts have a rotational axis. In a preferred embodiment, the axes of rotation of the two contacts (all or only one of them) are arranged parallel to each other. The two axes of rotation can each behave as a solid, tangible, concrete or virtual axis of rotation. The two rotating shafts can be designed in the same or different ways from each other.

在更一較佳實施例之設計中,當第一及/或第二接觸部與外部功能性裝置在耦接情況時,第一及/或第二接觸部之至少一接觸表面與外部功能性裝置之至少一接觸表面,係以平面或大致平面的方式成為彼此疊置。In a further preferred embodiment, at least one contact surface and external functionality of the first and/or second contact portions when the first and/or second contact portions are coupled to the external functional device At least one of the contact surfaces of the device is superposed on each other in a planar or substantially planar manner.

根據本發明,第一及/或第二接觸部與外部功能性裝置上的「接觸表面」,係指外部功能性裝置已與設備耦接的情況下,各個接觸部及外部功能性裝置彼此相向的表面。According to the present invention, the "contact surface" on the first and/or second contact portion and the external functional device means that the external functional device is coupled to the device, and the respective contact portions and the external functional devices face each other. s surface.

「平面」一語根據本發明應有之意思,係指該等接觸部與外部功能性裝置間呈平面或大致為平面的接觸。在連接的情況下,當第一及第二接觸部相對定位時,最好可令其各自之相向表面成平行或大致平行。The term "planar" as used in the context of the present invention means that the contacts are in planar or substantially planar contact with the external functional device. In the case of a connection, when the first and second contacts are relatively positioned, it is preferred that their respective facing surfaces be parallel or substantially parallel.

以此方式,可利於避免接觸部及外部功能性裝置在耦接操作期間可能產生的擠壓或卡夾,因此利於確保外部功能性裝置各組件的最佳功能性耦接,並利於避免過度的材料形變。In this way, it is advantageous to avoid the squeeze or clip that may be generated by the contact portion and the external functional device during the coupling operation, thereby facilitating the optimal functional coupling of the components of the external functional device and facilitating avoidance of excessive Material deformation.

根據本發明,外部功能性裝置的「耦接情況」就像「連接情況」,係指外部功能性裝置與使用狀態中的設備呈功能性的連接。此種連接情況可依執行某種功能而設計,諸如醫學流體之治療,例如血液治療。According to the present invention, the "coupling condition" of the external functional device is like "connection condition", which means that the external functional device is functionally connected to the device in the use state. Such a connection can be designed to perform a function, such as treatment of a medical fluid, such as blood therapy.

在另一較佳實施例中,本發明之器件包括至少一壓緊裝置,可將外部功能性裝置壓緊在第一接觸部與第二接觸部之間。In another preferred embodiment, the device of the present invention includes at least one compression device for compressing the external functional device between the first contact portion and the second contact portion.

本發明中使用的「壓緊裝置」可為或可包括壓緊致動器、電動壓緊裝置、馬達致動器、氣動壓緊裝置、閥、活塞等,或以上各項的不同組合。The "clamping device" used in the present invention may be or may include a compression actuator, an electric compression device, a motor actuator, a pneumatic compression device, a valve, a piston, etc., or a different combination of the above.

壓緊裝置可與支承裝置、第一接觸部、第二接觸部、及/或器件或設備的其他零組件連接。連接時,可用摩擦方式及/或正向方式與前述零組件至少其中之一連接。The hold down device can be coupled to the support device, the first contact, the second contact, and/or other components of the device or device. When connected, it may be connected to at least one of the aforementioned components in a frictional and/or forward manner.

壓緊裝置可施加及/或傳送一壓緊力,用以將外部功能性裝置壓緊在兩個接觸部之間。此種「壓緊力」可為氣動力、電動勢、磁力、感應力等。The pressing device can apply and/or transmit a pressing force for pressing the external functional device between the two contacts. Such "compression force" can be aerodynamic force, electromotive force, magnetic force, induction force, and the like.

壓緊裝置可加以調整,以使外部功能性裝置在兩個接觸部之間維持壓緊的情況可持續一段時間。壓緊裝置可包括對應的裝置,用以維持、控制或調節壓緊力。The hold down device can be adjusted so that the external functional device maintains compression between the two contacts for a period of time.

The related disclosures of the aforementioned patent applications are hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety herein in its entirety.

In a preferred embodiment, the device of the present invention is a blood treatment device, particularly a dialysis device, a hemodialysis device, a hemodiafiltration device, and the like.

為了避免重複,於茲明確參照先前所說明之各實施例,此等實施例可無限制地適用於本發明方法及設備之任何實施例。此外,本發明方法與設備亦可獲得與前述完全相同的優點。In order to avoid repetition, the embodiments are described with reference to the previously described embodiments, and the embodiments can be applied without limitation to any embodiment of the method and apparatus of the present invention. Furthermore, the method and apparatus of the present invention can also achieve the same advantages as described above.

本發明之器件極適於精確耦接外部功能性裝置與設備。由於該至少一接觸部係設計為例如可沿旋轉方向移動,因此可以補償個別零組件間發生的公差,並可確保最理想的機械性及/或功能性耦接。如德國專利申請案公告號DE 10 2007 04 29 64(此案相關揭示內容以參照方式完全併入此處)所述的複雜耦接操作,經由使用本發明之器件,可以改用簡單快速與零誤差的方式達成。The device of the present invention is well suited for accurately coupling external functional devices and devices. Since the at least one contact is designed to be movable, for example, in the direction of rotation, the tolerances occurring between the individual components can be compensated for and the most desirable mechanical and/or functional coupling can be ensured. The complex coupling operation described in the German Patent Application Publication No. DE 10 2007 04 29 64, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety, in its entirety, in The way of error is achieved.

由於製造公差、彈性材料特性及個別組件於其使用年限過程中的磨損,通常不易達到高壓在接觸表面上同質分佈的要求。現在藉由接觸部在至少一空間方向中的移動性與彈性或自動調整性,可以確保穩固且防漏的耦接,以及高壓在接觸表面上的同質分佈。Due to manufacturing tolerances, elastomeric properties, and wear of individual components over their useful life, it is often difficult to achieve the homogenous distribution of high pressure on the contact surface. By virtue of the mobility and elasticity or automatic adjustment of the contact in at least one spatial direction, a stable and leak-proof coupling and a homogenous distribution of the high pressure on the contact surface can be ensured.

由於接觸部具有自動適應(調整)的可能性,因此可以確保耦接表面(亦稱為機器介面)的感應器與致動器獲得適當、穩固、無誤差、且低磨損的耦接,也因此可以確保感應器與致動器相對外部功能性裝置上的對應耦接器應有的功能。反之亦然。Since the contact has the possibility of automatic adaptation (adjustment), it is ensured that the sensor and the actuator of the coupling surface (also referred to as the machine interface) are properly, robustly, error-free, and have low wear coupling, It is possible to ensure that the sensor and the actuator function relative to the corresponding coupler on the external functional device. vice versa.

由於所有重要組件都可安裝並定位在單一的穩固支承裝置上,因此利於使用較高力量達成零組件的壓緊。Since all of the important components can be mounted and positioned on a single, stable support, it is advantageous to use a higher force to achieve the compaction of the components.

由於接觸部具有以軸體為中心而移動或旋轉的能力,所以利於壓緊力同質分佈在一表面上或分佈在數個點上。因此,必要時,亦可施加較高的力量。以軸體為中心而移動或旋轉的能力可確保施加壓力時不致產生容許外的應力高峰。Since the contact portion has the ability to move or rotate around the shaft body, it is advantageous for the pressing force to be homogeneously distributed on one surface or distributed at several points. Therefore, if necessary, a higher force can be applied. The ability to move or rotate around the shaft ensures that no stress peaks are allowed when pressure is applied.

由於本發明安排至少一個接觸部(較佳二個接觸部)可以一軸體為中心而旋轉,所以接觸表面可以經常理想地彼此平行定向而特別可以達到前段所述的情況。如此進而允許與至少一外部功能性裝置達到最佳耦接而同時避免應力高峰。此外,亦可以啟動高精確機構,藉此而將連接外部功能性裝置與器件或設備的二個接觸部導向彼此。Since the present invention arranges that at least one contact portion (preferably two contact portions) can be rotated about a shaft body, the contact surfaces can often be ideally oriented parallel to each other, particularly in the case described in the preceding paragraph. This in turn allows optimal coupling with at least one external functional device while avoiding stress spikes. In addition, it is also possible to activate a highly precise mechanism whereby the two contact portions connecting the external functional device to the device or device are directed to each other.

藉由恰當安排第一與第二接觸部的安裝點,進而可利於補償在施加壓緊力以耦接外部功能性裝置時所造成的組件撓曲。By properly arranging the mounting points of the first and second contacts, it is thereby advantageous to compensate for component deflection caused by the application of a pressing force to couple the external functional device.

接觸部在容許範圍內的移動性或擺動動作,可補償第一及/或第二接觸部及密封裝置上個別組件的製造公差,因此利於降低或實質避免其磨損。The mobility or oscillating motion of the contact portion within the tolerance range compensates for manufacturing tolerances of the individual components of the first and/or second contact portion and the sealing device, thereby facilitating reduction or substantial avoidance of wear.
