A rotor includes a rotary body configured to rotate about a rotational shaft; a plurality of bottom parts attached to the rotary body; a plurality of arm parts that have respective rollers configured to revolve around the rotational shaft and depress a tube, and are attached to the respective bottom parts; and an adjuster that adjusts the mutual positional relation between the bottom parts in the radial direction of the rotation of the rotary body.

Peristaltic pump having adjustable roller guiding parts

There is provided a detection device including: a detection electrode that is arranged at a position on an arrangement plane near a tubular body; a drive electrode that is arranged on the arrangement plane; and a controller configured to generate lines of electric force between the detection electrode and the drive electrode and to detect a state of the tubular body by detecting lines of electric force entering the detection electrode.

Detection device

An occlusion detection device detects an occlusion of a flexible fluid path on either of upstream and downstream sides of a pump mechanism, the pump mechanism transporting a liquid through the fluid path by elastically deforming the fluid path. The occlusion detection device is provided with: an occlusion sensor that is disposed on the downstream side of the pump mechanism and detects an internal pressure of the fluid path during a liquid transporting operation of the pump mechanism; and a data processing circuit that analyzes on which side of the upstream and downstream sides of the pump mechanism the occlusion of the fluid path occurs, based on a change of the internal pressure of the fluid path detected by the occlusion sensor and outputs an analysis result.
