Abstract
A tube connector is configured to connect between a main tube and a peristaltically-actuated tube. The tube connector includes a first connection part configured to be connected to the main tube; a second connection part configured to be connected to the peristaltically-actuated tube; a communication part being provided between the first connection part and the second connection part and having a communication flow path for communicating between a first flow path through which fluid flows in the first connection part and a second flow path through which the fluid flows in the second connection part; and a main body section. The first flow path and the second flow path are formed to have a constant diameter and are formed so as to extend along the axial direction of the main body section. A diameter of the first flow path is smaller than a diameter of the second flow path. The communication flow path is formed so as to gradually enlarge in diameter from a first flow path side to a second flow path side. A central axis of the first flow path and a central axis of the second flow path are shifted toward the radial direction of the main body section.
