第一ハウジング〈２〉と第二ハウジング〈２２〉は、それぞれ略円筒状の第一支持部〈４〉と第二支持部〈２４〉並びに管状の第一接続部〈３〉と第二接続部〈２３〉とを有している。
第一支持部〈４〉は、中心Ｏから円周側部Ｒ方向に向けて、順次、第一挟持部〈５〉、第一溶着部〈９〉、凹部〈Ｍ〉を形成している。
第二支持部〈２４〉は、中心Ｏから円周側部Ｒ方向に向けて、順次、第二挟持部〈２５〉、第二溶着部〈２９〉、凸部〈Ｔ〉を形成している。
The applicant described Patent Document 1 (hereinafter, in order to explain each member of the invention described in Patent Document 1 in an easy-to-understand manner. The reference in Patent Document 1 is distinguished from the code of the present invention. When <<> is attached between the first housing <2> and the second housing <22>, the load applied to the filter <F> is reduced when the filter <F> is fixed. The invention of the transducer protector <1> that can stabilize the quality (performance) of
The first housing <2> and the second housing <22> have a substantially cylindrical first support portion <4> and a second support portion <24>, and a tubular first connection portion <3> and a second connection portion, respectively. <23>.
The first support portion <4> sequentially forms a first sandwiching portion <5>, a first welded portion <9>, and a concave portion <M> from the center O toward the circumferential side portion R direction.
The second support portion <24> sequentially forms a second sandwiching portion <25>, a second welded portion <29>, and a convex portion <T> from the center O toward the circumferential side portion R direction. .
トランスデューサープロテクタ〈１〉の組み立ては、第二ハウジング〈２２〉（または第一ハウジング〈２〉を固定冶具に固定し、第一ハウジング〈２〉（または第二ハウジング〈２２〉）を超音波ホーンにより加圧しながら水平方向の超音波振動を付与しながら溶着していた。
すなわち、第一ハウジング〈２〉の第一支持部〈４〉と第二ハウジング〈２２〉の第二支持部〈２４〉を溶着する際に、フィルタ〈Ｆ〉は第一支持部〈４〉の第一挟持部〈５〉と、第二支持部〈２４〉の第二挟持部〈２５〉との間に配置する。
そして、第一支持部〈４〉の第一溶着部〈９〉（第一段部〈Ｄ１〉及び凹部〈Ｍ〉）と、第二支持部〈２４〉の第二溶着部〈２９〉（第二段部〈Ｄ２〉及び凸部〈Ｔ〉）とを溶着し、フィルタ〈Ｆ〉の外縁を、第一挟持部〈５〉と第二挟持部〈２５〉との間に固定していた。
ところが第一ハウジング〈２〉の支持部〈４〉と第二ハウジング〈２２〉の第二支持部〈２４〉は、実質的に同じ外径に形成し、さらに溶着する箇所の面積が大きいため、第一ハウジング〈２〉の支持部〈４〉（または第二ハウジング〈２２〉の第二支持部〈２４〉）の溶着箇所に、超音波ホーンの振動を集中しきれず、このため溶着箇所の溶着強度にバラツキが生じ、溶着が均一にできず、液体リークの発生が報告されることがあった。
The transducer protector <1> is assembled by fixing the second housing <22> (or the first housing <2> to a fixing jig and the first housing <2> (or the second housing <22>) to an ultrasonic horn. Welding was carried out while applying horizontal ultrasonic vibration while applying pressure.
That is, when welding the first support portion <4> of the first housing <2> and the second support portion <24> of the second housing <22>, the filter <F> It arrange | positions between 1st clamping part <5> and 2nd clamping part <25> of 2nd support part <24>.
And the 1st welding part <9> (1st step part <D1> and recessed part <M>) of 1st support part <4>, and the 2nd welding part <29> (2nd of 2nd support part <24>). The two-stage part <D2> and the convex part <T>) were welded, and the outer edge of the filter <F> was fixed between the first clamping part <5> and the second clamping part <25>.
However, since the support portion <4> of the first housing <2> and the second support portion <24> of the second housing <22> are formed to have substantially the same outer diameter, and the area of the welded portion is large, The vibration of the ultrasonic horn cannot be concentrated at the welding location of the support portion <4> of the first housing <2> (or the second support portion <24> of the second housing <22>). In some cases, the strength varies, the welding cannot be made uniform, and the occurrence of liquid leak is reported.

The air pressure flowing in from the dialyzer side through the first flow path 6 directly collides with the surface of the first air pressure buffer member 8 and is dispersed, and the air pressure applied to the filter F is weakened, so the damage to the filter F is reduced. be able to.
Also, even if a liquid such as blood flows from the extracorporeal circuit side through the second flow path 26, it collides directly with the surface of the second air pressure buffer member 28 and is applied to the filter F in the same manner as the air pressure. Since the fluid pressure is reduced, the load on the filter F can be reduced and damage can be suppressed.
