- the number of the ring ridges 13b is theoretically one, but it is preferable that the number is three or more in consideration of safety. 8 to 12, in any case, the portion on the liquid contact surface 14 side formed with a large diameter is in strong contact with the inner peripheral surface 2 of the syringe barrel 1 to ensure water tightness and water vapor impermeability. ing. The figure is shown in FIG. And even the thinly formed portion is in light contact with the inner peripheral surface 2 of the syringe barrel 1 during insertion. By doing in this way, the liquid contact surface 14 side raises the contact pressure to the inner peripheral surface 2 of the syringe barrel 1 to increase the reliability against liquid leakage, and is gradually narrowed in a narrowed portion or a concave arc shape.
- the contact pressure becomes weak, and the piston rod 5 can be pushed with a smaller force.
- the portion formed with a large diameter is the liquid contact surface 14 side.

- the horizontal streaks that shine white are the processed grooves 12, and the cold flow from the ridges 13 does not sufficiently fill the processed grooves 12 between the ridges 13.
- the protrusions 13 in the vicinity of the boundary between the liquid contact surface 14 of the piston member 10 and the placebo 30 are crushed to sufficiently fill the machining groove 12.
- FIGS. 21 and 22 in which the ridges 13 are shown in an inverted state the groove bottom 12a of the processed groove 12 cut off by the sharp cutting edge of the cutting tool has a shallow continuous concave arc shape.
- a ridge 13 with a thin ridge line at the tip and a continuous wavy ridge continues.
- the machined grooves 12 and the ridges 13 are somewhat uneven, unlike metal cutting.
- the cutting surface is the highest in high-speed steel and becomes smooth in the order of carbide, polycrystalline diamond, and single crystal diamond. The smoother the cutting surface, the better the water tightness and vapor impermeability.
- the processed grooves 12 and the ridges 13 cut as described above have some irregularities, but PTFE has a high deformability, and when the piston member 10 is inserted into the syringe barrel 1 with a press-fitting margin T, Of course, even in the case of a ring shape, the ridges 13 are strongly crushed by the inner peripheral surface 2 of the syringe barrel 1 and flow into the machining groove 12 side (cold flow), and the pitch P of the ridges 13 is 50 ⁇ m during cutting.

- the pitch P of the ridges 13 is 50 ⁇ m or more, it is related to the maximum height roughness Rz, but the processed grooves 12 are not sufficiently filled, and water may leak through the remaining fine gaps.
- the ambient temperature difference is large (for example, when stored in a refrigerator, and then taken out and returned to room temperature before injection)
- the physical properties of PTFE a large dimensional change occurs near room temperature. May cause liquid leakage.
- the range of 3 to 40 ⁇ m has the highest reliability for non-leakage.
- the pitch P of the ridges 13 is 3 ⁇ m or less, it takes too much time for cutting, and the height of the ridges 13 between the machining grooves 12 becomes too low (that is, the maximum height roughness of the machining grooves 12). Rz becomes too shallow) and the elasticity of the ridge 13 becomes too small. Therefore, the pitch P of the ridges 13 is practically preferable to be 3 ⁇ m or more and 40 ⁇ m or less.
- the maximum height roughness Rz of the processed groove 12 at the time of cutting is deeper than 6 ⁇ m, there is a risk that the cold-flowed PTFE cannot fully fill the groove bottom 12a of the processed groove 12 and water leakage occurs.
- the maximum height roughness Rz is preferably 3 ⁇ m or less. From the viewpoint of groove filling by cold flow, the maximum height roughness Rz is preferably shallow.
- the groove bottom 12a in an arc shape.
- the groove pitch P and the maximum height roughness Rz are basically not related to the thickness of the syringe barrel 1 and can be applied to the syringe barrel 1 of any thickness. If the groove pitch P and the maximum height roughness Rz are within the above ranges, high water tightness (non-leakage and water vapor impermeability) can be realized even if the processed groove 12 is a spiral groove.
- the diameter of the liquid contact side sliding portion 16 is increased by a minimum of 10 ⁇ m (5 ⁇ m in radius) and a maximum of 150 ⁇ m (75 ⁇ m in radius) as a press-fit allowance T (see FIG. 24).
- PTFE that has not been subjected to HIP processing has a fine communication gap inside.
- the piston member 10 is inserted into the syringe barrel 1 with the press-fitting allowance T and the ridges 13 are crushed, these fine communication gaps will be clogged during the cold flow described above, Even PTFE that has not been subjected to HIP treatment will not only allow water leakage through the communication gap but also water vapor.
- the relationship between the inner diameter S of the syringe barrel 1 and the outer diameter of the liquid contact side sliding portion 16 of the piston member 10 (press fitting allowance T) is within the above range, and the groove pitch P of the processing groove 12 of the sliding contact surface 11a.
- the width D of the sliding contact surface 11a of the piston member 10 is set to 0.5 to 3 mm. If the width D is smaller than 0.5 mm, the wetted sliding portion 16 may be damaged during handling. If the width D is 3 mm or more, the press-fitting allowance of the piston member 10 to the syringe barrel 1 is 50 ⁇ m.
- the surface pressure of the liquid contact side sliding portion 16 against the syringe barrel 1 becomes too high, and if steam sterilization is performed at room temperature or at 121 ° C. for 20 minutes, There is a possibility that the piston member 10 expands beyond the syringe barrel 1 and the syringe barrel 1 breaks. Practically, it is 1 to 2 mm.
- the intermediate piston 10b has liquid contact side sliding portions 16 formed at both ends, and the space between both liquid contact side sliding portions 16 is formed narrow.
- the slidable contact surface 11a of the both liquid contact side sliding portions 16 is formed exactly the same as the slidable contact surface 11a of the gasket 10a.
- the syringe barrel 1 has a needle mounting portion 1b at the front end, a finger hook portion 1c at the rear end, and a cylindrical chemical solution filling portion 4c formed therebetween, and is formed of a cyclic polyolefin in this embodiment.
- the shape of the syringe barrel 1 is not limited to that illustrated, and the syringe barrel 1 can be made of polypropylene, glass, or the like.
- the piston rod 5 is a rod-shaped member provided with a male screw portion 5a at the front end and a finger contact portion 5b at the rear end. On the outer peripheral surface of the male screw portion 5a of the piston rod 5, a male screw that is screwed into the female screw hole 15 of the gasket 10a described above is formed.
- the material of the piston rod 5 is made of resin such as cyclic polyolefin, polycarbonate, and polypropylene.
- the top cap 8 is attached to the needle mounting portion 1b of the syringe barrel 1 so that the chemical solution 30 filled in the syringe barrel 1 does not leak, and the chemical solution 30 is not contaminated by various germs floating in the air. It is the sealing member for doing.
- the top cap 8 is composed of a truncated cone-shaped cap body 8a and a fitting protrusion 8c extending in the opening direction from the top surface of the cap body 8a and having a recess 8b into which the needle mounting portion 1b is fitted. ing.

A predetermined cutting process is performed to obtain a gasket 10a having a predetermined shape. This also applies to the intermediate piston 10b.
- the resin material 61 is exposed on the liquid contact surface 14, but the resin material 61 is excellent in chemical resistance such as COP and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, so that it comes into contact. It does not adversely affect the chemical solution 30 that is present. Since the slidable contact surface 11a is formed of PTFE, no liquid leakage occurs and excellent slidability is exhibited. If a resin harder than PTFE is selected as the chemical-resistant resin material 61, the outer PTFE is reinforced from the inside, and the chemical-resistant resin material 61 usually has a temperature range from around 0 ° C. to around room temperature. Since the coefficient of thermal expansion is smaller than that of PTFE, the piston member 10 is less affected by changes in the outside air temperature, and the dimensional change with respect to temperature is superior to that of PTFE alone.

Abstract
Description
PTFEブロックを切削加工して形成され、シリンジバレル1に圧入されて摺動状態で用いられるピストン部材10に於いて、
シリンジバレル1の内周面2に摺接するピストン部材10の摺接面11の内、少なくとも薬液30との接液面14に隣接する摺接面11aの全周に亙って周方向の凸条13が形成され、
切削加工時の凸条13のピッチPが50μm以下、シリンジバレル1に対するピストン部材10の圧入代Tが10~150μmであることを特徴とするピストン部材10である。
図1のようにシリンジバレルに着色した純水(偽薬)を充填し、本発明のPTFE製ガスケットを用いて下記の方法で液体密封性(液漏れ)、水蒸気透過性試験及び摺動性(ピストンロッドの加圧力)を試験した。いずれの試験も試験本数はそれぞれ10本である。
本発明のガスケットの条件
シリンジバレル(材質:COP、ガラス)の内径(単位:mm)
=6.34 12.45 20.20
接液側摺動部の直径(山径H)(圧入代Tは40μm)(単位:mm)
=6.38 12.49 20.24
凸条のピッチP(μm)
=3 5 10 20 30 40 50 80 100
加工溝の最大高さ粗さ:Rz(単位:μm)
=2.3 6.0 6.6 10
摺接面の幅(単位:mm)
=0.5 1.0 1.5 2.5 3.5
ガスケットの摺接面とシリンジバレルの内周面との界面部分を100倍に拡大して観察し、偽薬の摺動部分への漏れの有無を観察した。凸条のピッチPが50μm以下、最大高さ粗さRzが6μm以下のものはPP製、COP製、ガラス製シリンジバレルのいずれの場合でも室温に於いて液漏れを生じなかった。
いずれの内径のシリンジバレルに於いても、凸条のピッチPが80μm、100μmのものには液漏れが観察された。凸条のピッチPが50μmのガスケットでは上記のように室温では問題がないが、偽薬を充填したプレフィルドシリンジを5℃の冷蔵庫に一晩保管した後、室温に戻すと若干の液漏れが観察されたものがあった。凸条のピッチPが40μm以下のガスケットでは液漏れはなかった。また、最大高さ粗さRz(溝深さ)が6.6μm、10μmのものには液漏れが観察されたが、6μm以下では液漏れはなかった。上限は溝ピッチが50μm、最大高さ粗さRz(溝深さ)は6μmであり、安全をみれば、溝ピッチは40μm以下、最大高さ粗さRz(溝深さ)は3μmである。
ガラス製シリンジバレル(内径6.34mm 全容量2ミリリットル)に着色した純水1ミリリットルを充填し、液漏れのない形状に製作した上記PTFEガスケット(摺接面11aの幅D=2.5mm 直径(山径H)=6.38mm 圧入代=40μm)を装着し、シリンジバレルの先端にはブチルゴム製トップキャップを装着して経時重量変化を測定した。比較例として同シリンジバレルに常用されているブチルゴム製ガスケットを使用した。
測定に使用した精密天秤(島津製作所製)は1/10,000gまで測定可能である。
1,500時間経過しても、本発明のガスケットを使用したシリンジバレルの減量はほぼ0であり、変動幅は精密天秤の誤差範囲内であった。一方、ブチルゴム製ガスケットを使用した従来のシリンジバレルは0.005gの減量が認められた。
本発明のガスケットの条件
接液側摺動部の直径(山径H)=6.36 6.38 6.40(単位:mm)
摺接面の幅=2.3mm
シリンジバレル(COP、ガラス)の内径=6.34mm
試験速度=100mm/分
平均摺動抵抗は6.36mmで4.2N、6.38mmで5.9N、6.40mmで7.4Nといずれも要求される12N以下である。ガスケット10aにPTFEを使用する場合、これらの平均値を直線で結び、摺動平均値(N)が12Nのところから引いた横線と交点を求めると、圧入代150μmが求められる。即ち、シリンジバレル1に対して圧入代を直径で150μmまで大きくしても摺動性を損なうことはないと言える。ただし、COPシリンジバレルの場合、圧入代を直径で150μm以上とし、摺接面11aの幅Dが3mmを越えるとCOPシリンジバレルに割れを生じることがある。従って、圧入代の上限は150μmと言うことになる。
下限はPTFEのコールドフローと溝深さ、ピッチの関係から考慮して10μmである。圧入代が10μm以下であると加工溝を埋めきれず漏水が発生した。
