Wherein the membrane bundle is composed of a plurality of hollow fibers, and a plurality of membrane pores with specific size requirements exist in the walls of the hollow fibers. The dialyzer mainly utilizes the principle of semipermeable membrane, introduces the blood of uremia patient and dislysate simultaneously in the dialyzer, makes both in the inside and outside reverse flow of fibre membrane wall, and the poisonous macromolecule in the blood can flow out to the membrane wall outside through the membrane hole, along with the dialyzer outflow is internal. Meanwhile, the functions of removing blood toxin, supplementing blood nutrient substances and adjusting the pH value of blood can be realized by virtue of solute gradient, osmotic gradient and water pressure gradient on the two sides of the membrane wall. If the hollow fiber wall is damaged, blood loss of the patient can be caused, and the dialysis treatment effect of the patient is seriously influenced.
Therefore, in the existing dialyzer assembly production process, the integrity of the fiber membrane wall is detected by adopting a wet leak detection method. The membrane holes on the membrane wall are sealed by water for injection, then compressed air with specific pressure is introduced into two ends of the hollow fiber membrane bundle for pressure maintaining, and the integrity of the membrane wall is judged by detecting the pressure drop value in unit time. After detection, a large amount of water for injection is present in the fiber membrane bundle, and excessive water needs to be quickly removed to a proper value in the subsequent process step, otherwise the quality guarantee period, sterilization and service performance of the dialyzer are affected. The production takt time of the dialyzer assembly production line is fast, the production speed of the dialyzer assembly production line can be seriously reduced by adopting the traditional hot air drying process or other single drying processes, meanwhile, the process flexibility is not enough, the dialyzer drying curve is difficult to control, and the damage of the fiber membrane bundle is easily caused after the drying process steps are completed.

the second drying stage is microwave and hot air combined drying, and a gas distributor introduces high-pressure hot air with the temperature of 100 ℃ and the pressure of 2bar into a drying chamber, wherein the ventilation time is 250 s; when hot air is introduced into the drying chamber, the microwave introducing assembly dries the dialyzer, the drying time is 100s under the microwave power of 3500W, and then the drying time is changed into 50s under the microwave power of 1500W;
the third drying stage is hot air drying, and the air distributor introduces 0.8bar cold air into the drying chamber for 10 s.
In this embodiment, the microwave drying is divided into three stages, the power of each stage is 5000W, 3500W and 1500W, and the corresponding time is 50s, 100s and 50 s. The hot air drying is also divided into three stages, wherein the hot air first stage is introduced into the air distributor 4 at 0.8bar for 50s, the hot air at 100 deg.C and 2bar for 250s is introduced at the second stage, and the cold air at 0.8bar for 10s is introduced at the third stage.
