Abstract

The present invention discloses a compression device for artificial valve replacing device that comprises at least two clamp unit blocks connecting with each other in sequence and enclosing a compressing channel. The compression device further comprises a guide structure for leading all clamp unit blocks to retract towards the center of the compressing channel. In this invention, when the artificial valve replacing device is placed in the compressing channel, the inner wall of the compressing channel props against the peripheral wall of the artificial valve replacing device. When the clamp unit blocks are retracting towards the center of the compressing channel under the action of outside force, the inner wall of the compressing channel applies the force directing to the center of the compressing channel. The device has the low manufacturing cost and is convenient to clean due to the simple structure, fully satisfying the requirements for operation sanitation in use. Therefore, the production and maintenance costs are reduced and the expense shifted to consumers is lowered.

Claims (10)

1. A compression device for artificial valve replacing device, comprising clamp unit blocks, wherein the number of the clamp unit blocks is at least two; the clamp unit blocks are connected in sequence and enclose a compressing channel; the compression device further comprises guide structures for leading all the clamp unit blocks to retract towards a center of the compressing channel; the clamp unit block comprises a connecting portion and sliding fit comb-shaped connecting arms fixed on both fides of the connecting portion, with the sliding fit comb-shaped connecting arms of adjacent clamp block units sliding linearly within guide grooves as they interleave during retraction of the clamp unit blocks, and wherein the clamp unit blocks are connected to form a continuous circumferential aid surrounding structure that surrounds the compressing channel when the clamp unit blocks are in both a compressed position and a non-compressed position.

2. The compression device for artificial valve replacing device according to claim 1 , wherein the sliding fit comb-shaped connecting arms comprises a plurality of sheet-shape comb teeth axially arranged along the compressing channel.

3. The compression device for artificial valve replacing device according to claim 2 , wherein the connecting portion and the sliding fit comb-shaped connecting arms fixed on two sides of the connecting portion are in an integrated structure, and the clamp unit blocks have the same shape.

4. The compression device for artificial valve replacing device according to claim 1 , wherein the guide grooves are correspondingly provided between the sliding fit comb-shaped connecting arms, each of the guide grooves is provided with an anti-off plug, the guide groove and the anti-off plug form the guide structure.

5. The compression device for artificial valve replacing device according to claim 4 , wherein an, axial cross-section of the compressing channel is an equilateral polygon.

6. The compression device for artificial valve replacing device according to claim 4 , wherein the number of the clamp unit blocks is N, the anti-off plug comprises N−1 or N anti-rotation sliders.

7. The compression device for artificial valve replacing device according to claim 6 , wherein the number of the clamp unit blocks is three, the anti-off plug comprises two or three anti-rotation sliders, and the guide grooves in any two guide structures are positioned to from an angle of 60 degrees.

8. The compression device for artificial valve replacing device according to claim 6 , wherein the number of the clamp unit blocks is six, and two of the sliding fit comb-shaped connecting arms on the same clamp unit block form an angular slot with an angle of 120 degrees toward a side of the compressing channel.

9. The compression device for artificial valve replacing device according to claim 2 , wherein guide grooves are correspondingly provided between the sliding fit comb-shaped connecting arms, each of the guide grooves is provided with an anti-off plug, the guide groove and the anti-off plug form the guide structure.

10. The compression device for artificial valve replacing device according to claim 3 , wherein guide grooves are correspondingly provided between the sliding fit comb-shaped connecting arms, each of the guide grooves is provided with an anti-off plug, the guide groove and the anti-off plug form the guide structure.
