Tube retention device with pivotable clamp components
The patent US12071941B2 describes a tube retention device designed to securely hold a tube piece within a roller pump. The device features a tube retention block with two distinct wall surfaces, each equipped with attachment points for clamp components. The first and second clamp components are pivotably attached to the respective wall surfaces, allowing them to rotate in opposite directions when force is applied by the tube piece. This mechanism enables the clamps to transition from an open to a closed position, effectively retaining the tube piece between them. The design includes features such as curved tube-engagement surfaces that correspond to the tube's outer surface, grip features like grooves for enhanced retention, and a limit stop to prevent over-rotation of the clamps.
Additionally, the patent outlines various enhancements to the tube retention device, including a guide system for synchronizing clamp rotation, a position-maintaining mechanism to keep the clamps open until engaged by the tube, and a locking mechanism for securing the clamps in either position. The device can accommodate multiple clamp components, allowing for a more robust retention system. The overall design aims to improve the functionality and reliability of tube retention in roller pumps, ensuring that the tube piece is securely held during operation.
