[0026] The first filling pipe 4, the second filling pipe 5 and the third filling pipe 6 form a "mountain"-shaped structure, and a control valve 7 is installed inside one end of the first filling pipe 4, the second filling pipe 5 and the third filling pipe 6, and a connecting component 8 is installed at the other end of the first filling pipe 4, the second filling pipe 5 and the third filling pipe 6.

[0027] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3Specifically, the connecting assembly 8 includes a connecting cover 801, a one-way valve 802, a hinge 803, a straight rod 804, a retaining spring 805 and a tension spring 806. The one-way valve 802 is installed inside the connecting cover 801, and hinges 803 are installed on both sides of the one-way valve 802. A straight rod 804 is installed on the hinge 803, and a retaining spring 805 is installed on the end of the straight rod 804 away from the hinge 803. A tension spring 806 is installed on the side of the straight rod 804 away from the one-way valve 802. The filling pipe 5 and the third filling pipe 6 are connected to three prefilled syringes through the connecting component 8 for use. Specifically, the pipes of the prefilled syringes are inserted into the interior of the connecting cover 801 and connected to the one-way valve 802. The one-way valve 802 controls the switching of the first filling pipe 4, the second filling pipe 5 and the third filling pipe 6. After the pipes of the prefilled syringes are inserted into the connecting cover 801, the tension spring 806 supports the retaining springs 805 to approach each other so that the two retaining springs 805 are squeezed outward and fit tightly against the outer surface of the prefilled syringe pipes.

[0028] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 Specifically, a first rotary valve 9 is installed inside the protective cover 2, and the protective cover 2 is connected to one end of the connecting pipe 1 through the first rotary valve 9. At the same time, the protective cover 2 and the connecting pipe 1 form a rotatable structure through the first rotary valve 9. A second rotary valve 10 is installed inside the diverter disk 3, and the diverter disk 3 is connected to the other end of the connecting pipe 1 through the second rotary valve 10. At the same time, the diverter disk 3 and the connecting pipe 1 form a rotatable structure through the second rotary valve 10, so that the protective cover 2 can prevent the outflow of the liquid when rotating with the diverter disk 3 through the connecting pipe 1.

[0029] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4 Specifically, a sealing ring 1101 is installed above the first injection pipe 11, and a replacement disk 1102 is installed below the first injection pipe 11, an injection connecting pipe 1103 is installed below the replacement disk 1102, and a sealing joint 1104 is installed inside the replacement disk 1102, and first sealing rings 1105 are installed on both sides of the sealing joint 1104, and the outer surface of the sealing joint 1104 and the inner surface of the first sealing ring 1105 are both threaded structures, and the injection connecting pipe 1103 penetrates into the interior of the replacement disk 1102 and is threadedly connected to the replacement disk 1102 through the sealing joint 1104 and the first sealing ring 1105.

[0030] The first injection pipe 11 , the second injection pipe 13 , the third injection pipe 15 and the fourth injection pipe 17 have the same internal structure.

[0031] See also Figure 1 and Figure 5Specifically, the first Luer lock assembly 12 includes a Luer lock pipe 1201, a limiting ring 1202, a Luer lock housing 1203, a block 1204 and a needle 1205. The Luer lock pipe 1201 is installed inside the Luer lock housing 1203, and a limiting ring 1202 is provided on the outside of the Luer lock pipe 1201. Blocks 1204 are installed on both sides of the limiting ring 1202. A needle 1205 is installed at one end of the Luer lock pipe 1201, and the Luer lock pipe 1201 is inserted into the injection port. The interior of the injection connecting pipe 1103, the pipe side wall of the Luer lock pipe 1201 and the interior of the limiting ring 1202 are both threaded structures, and the Luer lock pipe 1201 and the limiting ring 1202 are threadedly connected. The first Luer lock assembly 12, the second Luer lock assembly 14, the third Luer lock assembly 16 and the fourth Luer lock assembly 18 have the same structure, so that the device can avoid leakage of liquid medicine when replacing the needle 1205, and a sealing structure is formed by the threaded connection of the Luer lock pipe 1201 and the limiting ring 1202.

[0032] In summary, the Luer lock adapter for prefilled syringes can be used to connect three prefilled syringes via the first filling pipe 4, the second filling pipe 5, and the third filling pipe 6 through the connecting assembly 8. Specifically, the pipes of the prefilled syringes are inserted into the interior of the connecting cover 801 and communicate with the one-way valve 802. The one-way valve 802 controls the opening and closing of the first filling pipe 4, the second filling pipe 5, and the third filling pipe 6. After the pipes of the prefilled syringes are inserted into the connecting cover 801, the tension spring 806 supports the retaining springs 805 to approach each other, so that the two retaining springs 805 are squeezed outward and tightly fit on the outer surface of the pipes of the prefilled syringes.

[0033] When in use, the protective cover 2 can rotate with the diverter disc 3 through the connecting pipe 1. Since the diverter disc 3 is installed with a second rotary valve 10 inside, and the diverter disc 3 is connected to the other end of the connecting pipe 1 through the second rotary valve 10, and the diverter disc 3 and the connecting pipe 1 form a rotatable structure through the second rotary valve 10, the protective cover 2 can prevent the outflow of the liquid medicine when rotating with the diverter disc 3 through the connecting pipe 1.

[0034] The liquid medicine flows from the prefilled syringe along the first filling pipe 4, the second filling pipe 5 or the third filling pipe 6 through the connecting pipe 1 into the diverter plate 3 for diversion. The device is provided with a first Luer lock assembly 12, a second Luer lock assembly 14, a third Luer lock assembly 16 and a fourth Luer lock assembly 18. In actual use, it can be used for prefilling medicine bottles of four different specifications.

[0035] When it is necessary to replace components of different specifications, the replacement tray 1102 is rotated by rotating the injection connecting pipe 1103. Since the injection connecting pipe 1103 penetrates into the replacement tray 1102 and is threadedly connected to the replacement tray 1102 through the sealing joint 1104 and the first sealing ring 1105, the injection connecting pipe 1103 and the first Luer lock assembly 12 can be removed for replacement. The arrangement of the first sealing ring 1105 and the replacement tray 1102 can prevent leakage of the liquid medicine.

[0036] The first Luer lock assembly 12, the second Luer lock assembly 14, the third Luer lock assembly 16 and the fourth Luer lock assembly 18 adopt a Luer lock structure to prevent leakage of the drug solution when the needle 1205 is replaced. The Luer lock pipe 1201 and the limit ring 1202 are threadedly connected to form a sealing structure.

[0037] The embodiments of the present invention are presented for purposes of illustration and description and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the disclosed forms. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments are chosen and described in order to better illustrate the principles of the invention and its practical application and to enable those skilled in the art to understand the invention and design various embodiments with various modifications as suited for specific applications.
