Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical equipment, and in particular to a safe and convenient insulin injection pen. Background Art

[0002] A pen injector / injection pen is a product that combines an injection preparation and a syringe. It is widely used in areas such as insulin treatment for diabetic patients and growth hormone treatment for dwarf patients due to its accurate dosage setting, simple operation, easy portability, suitability for home use, and avoidance of the risk of accidentally breaking the syringe when using a glass syringe for injection.

[0003] Pen-type syringes are primarily used for insulin injections and are also known as insulin pens or injection pens. These typically consist of a pen cap, a refill, a pen body (with scale, display window, dose selection knob, dose indicator, and injection push button), a needle (including an outer needle cap, inner needle cap, needle tip, and protective sheet), and a refill.

[0004] After completing an injection, existing insulin pens require the outer needle cap to be removed and properly discarded. This process can easily lead to needlestick injuries, potentially spreading blood-borne diseases. Hospital wards are noisy, and insulin injections are typically given before meals or bedtime. Some patients, hungry or sleepy, constantly urge caregivers to take their insulin, further increasing the risk of needlestick injuries.

[0005] Patent publication number CN212214322U discloses a safety-adjustable insulin injection needle, comprising an inner shell, a protective sleeve, a locking ring, a spring, a needle body, a needle holder, and a depth adjustment sleeve. This insulin injection needle requires additional steps to use, and generally requires maintaining the injection technique for a certain period of time after insulin injection to ensure effective insulin absorption. For injections of more than ten units, this duration must be maintained for at least 10 seconds, with the duration increasing as the dose increases. For patients who inject a large dose at once, the needle is hidden after the injection, potentially leading to spillage of subcutaneous insulin, resulting in suboptimal blood sugar control.

For example, they may refer to fixed, detachable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; and direct or indirect connections through an intermediary. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention depending on the specific circumstances.

[0030] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Example 1:

[0032] This embodiment provides a safe and convenient insulin injection pen, such as Figure 1-Figure 7As shown, the needle assembly 1 includes a telescopic sleeve 11, a first elastic member 12, a limiting mechanism, and a needle tube 16. The first elastic member 12 is disposed within the telescopic sleeve 11, the top end of the first elastic member 12 is connected to the upper end of the telescopic sleeve 11, and the bottom end of the first elastic member 12 is connected to the bottom end of the telescopic sleeve 11. A through-hole 115 is provided at the top end of the telescopic sleeve 11. The lower end of the needle tube 16 is disposed through the bottom end of the telescopic sleeve 11 and the top end of the needle tube 16 can be disposed through the through-hole 115. The first elastic member 12 is sleeved on the outside of the needle tube 16. The limiting mechanism is connected to the telescopic sleeve 11 and is unlocked when the top of the telescopic sleeve 11 is pressed downward. When the limiting mechanism is locked, the first elastic member 12 and the telescopic sleeve 11 are both in a shortened state and the top of the needle tube 16 extends through the through hole 115 to the outside of the telescopic sleeve 11. When the limiting mechanism is unlocked, the first elastic member 12 and the telescopic sleeve 11 are both in an extended state and the top of the needle tube 16 is located inside the telescopic sleeve 11.

[0033] When the insulin injection pen of this embodiment is used, after the outer and inner needle covers are removed from the needle assembly 1, the initial state of the insulin injection pen is that the retaining mechanism is locked. The tip of the needle tube 16 extends through the perforation 115 to the outside of the telescopic sleeve 11. After insulin is injected, the telescopic sleeve 11 contacts the human body and is subjected to a certain downward pressure, which unlocks the retaining mechanism. The first elastic member 12 and the telescopic sleeve 11 both extend. The extended telescopic sleeve 11 conceals the needle tube 16 inside, thereby preventing leakage of the needle tube 16. The outer needle cover is then covered over the needle assembly 1 and discarded, preventing the needle tube 16 from contacting the hand and causing a puncture injury, thereby improving the safety of the insulin injection pen. After the injection is completed and the continuous injection technique is released, the needle tip of the insulin injection pen of this embodiment automatically hides, minimizing needle stick injuries while ensuring maximum absorption of insulin injected subcutaneously, thereby achieving the desired effect.

[0034] Preferably, if Figure 1 As shown, the limiting mechanism includes a first connecting member 13 and a second connecting member 14. The top end of the first connecting member 13 is connected to the top end of the telescopic sleeve 11 and the lower end thereof is extended downward. The bottom end of the second connecting member 14 is connected to the bottom end of the telescopic sleeve 11 and the top end thereof is extended upward to the lower side of the first connecting member 13. The bottom end of the first connecting member 13 and the top end of the second connecting member 14 are connected by a connecting belt 15. When the top end of the telescopic sleeve 11 is pressed downward, the first connecting member 13 moves downward and breaks the connecting belt 15. The first connecting member 13 and the second connecting member 14 are arranged on the inner side of the first elastic member 12. Preferably, the connecting belt is a hard adhesive tape, and an easy-to-break point is provided on the hard adhesive tape. The connecting belt may be in the form of a strip or a sheet. In addition, the connecting belt may also be made of a brittle and easily-breakable material, such as a thin glass sheet, a brittle plastic or a ceramic sheet.

[0035] When the telescopic sleeve 11 is pressed down, the first connecting member 13 is driven to move downward, the connecting belt 15 is broken under the force, the first connecting member 13 is separated from the second connecting member 14, and the first elastic member 12 is extended, driving the telescopic sleeve 11 to extend, and making the top end of the telescopic sleeve 11 higher than the top end of the needle tube 16, hiding the needle tube 16 inside it.

[0036] Preferably, if Figure 3 As shown, the first connecting member 13 and the second connecting member 14 are vertically offset, and the connecting band 15 is connected to adjacent sides of the first connecting member 13 and the second connecting member 14. This allows the first connecting member 13 to be offset from the second connecting member 14 when moving downward, avoiding being affected by the second connecting member 14. This also makes the connecting band 15 more likely to deform and break when the first connecting member 13 moves downward. Preferably, the connecting band 15 forms an angle of 10°-30° with the central axis of the needle tube. On the one hand, this allows the connecting band 15 to firmly connect the first connecting member 13 and the second connecting member 14, keeping the first elastic member in a compressed state. On the other hand, it prevents the connecting band 15 from bending and deforming when the first connecting member 13 moves downward, making it easier to break.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, an inclined surface is provided on the facing ends of the first connecting member 13 and the second connecting member 14 , and the inclined surface on the first connecting member 13 and the inclined surface on the second connecting member 14 are provided in parallel to prevent the second connecting member 14 from blocking the downward movement of the first connecting member 13 .

[0038] Preferably, the first connecting member 13 and the second connecting member 14 are ceramic rods or glass rods, and the first connecting member 13, the second connecting member 14 and the connecting band 15 are integrally formed. The width of the connecting band 15 is smaller than the diameter of the first connecting member 13 and the second connecting member 14.

[0039] Preferably, if Figure 1 As shown, the first connecting member 13 is rod-shaped, the top of the first connecting member 13 extends to the upper side of the telescopic sleeve 11 and is connected to a trigger button 131 at its top, and a third elastic member 132 is provided between the trigger button 131 and the telescopic sleeve 11.

[0040] When the insulin injection pen is injecting insulin, the person's skin presses down the trigger button 131, and the trigger button 131 drives the first connecting member 13 to move downward to break the connecting band 15.

[0041] Preferably, the telescopic sleeve 11 includes an outer sleeve 111 and at least one inner cone 112, the inner cone 112 is arranged on the inner side of the outer sleeve 111 and can move up and down relative to the outer sleeve 111, the through hole 115 is arranged at the top end of the inner cone 112, the first elastic member 12 is arranged on the inner side of the inner cone 112 and its top end is connected to the upper end of the inner cone 112, when the first elastic member 12 is in a compressed state, the inner cone 112 shrinks in the outer sleeve 111, when the first elastic member 12 is in an extended state, the inner cone 112 extends upward from the outer sleeve 111 and its top end is higher than the needle tube 16. The outer sleeve 111 is a cylindrical structure with an open top.

[0042] In addition, multiple inner cones 112 can be provided, and the multiple inner cones are nested in sequence from the inside to the outside, and the outer diameter of the bottom end of the inner cone is larger than the inner diameter of the top end of the adjacent outer cone, so that when the telescopic sleeve 11 is extended, the inner inner cone 112 moves upward relative to the outer inner cone 112 and connects with each other.

[0043] Preferably, if Figure 2 As shown, when the first elastic member is in a compressed state, the top of the inner cone 112 protrudes to the outside of the outer sleeve 111, and a gap is set between the bottom end of the inner cone 112 and the bottom end of the outer sleeve 111, and the height of the gap is greater than the length of the connecting belt 15.

[0044] When the pressure trigger button 131 is not provided, when the insulin injection pen is injecting insulin, the person's skin presses down the top of the inner cone 112, and the inner cone 112 drives the first connecting member 13 to move downward to break the connecting band 15.

[0045] Preferably, if Figure 4As shown, a first clamping edge 113 extending inwardly is provided around the top of the outer sleeve 111. The outer sleeve 111 is cylindrical, and a second clamping edge 114 extending outwardly is provided around the bottom end of the inner cone 112. When the inner cone 112 moves to the upper side of the outer sleeve 111, the first clamping edge 113 is clamped on the second clamping edge 114. The outer diameter of the second clamping edge 114 is equal to the inner diameter of the outer sleeve 111 and larger than the inner diameter of the ring formed by the first clamping edge 113, so that the first elastic member 12 limits the height of the inner cone 112 when it is extended. At least two spring clips 18 are provided on the inner side of the outer sleeve 111. The spring clips 18 are arranged near the first clamping edge 113 and spaced apart from the first clamping edge 113. When the second clamping edge 114 is clamped on the lower side of the first clamping edge 113, the spring clips 18 abut against the lower side of the first clamping edge 113. Four spring pieces 18 can be provided, and the four spring pieces 18 are evenly arranged along the inner circumference of the outer sleeve 111. The spring pieces 18 are arranged obliquely upward toward the central axis of the outer sleeve 111. When the inner cone 112 slides upward in the outer sleeve 111, the second clamping edge 114 presses the spring piece 18 against the inner wall of the outer sleeve 111 and slides upward over the spring piece 18. When the inner cone 112 moves to the highest point, the expanded blanket spring piece 18 clamps the second clamping edge 114 on its upper side, so that the second clamping edge 114 is clamped between the first clamping edge 113 and the spring piece 18. The arrangement of the spring piece 18 prevents the telescopic sleeve from retracting after extension, so that the telescopic sleeve always protects the needle tube inside it after extension to prevent the needle tube from leaking out.

[0046] Preferably, if Figure 5 As shown, the safe and convenient insulin injection pen provided in this embodiment also includes a refill 3, the top of which is provided with a color-coded cap 31 having a conical shape. The needle assembly also includes a lower cap 17, to which the telescopic sleeve 11 is connected. The lower cap 17 has a conical shape and is adapted to fit the color-coded cap 31. The needle assembly 1 is connected to the refill 3 by snapping the lower cap 17 onto the color-coded cap 31. The bottom end of the needle tube 16 extends through the bottom end of the outer sleeve 111 and into the lower cap 17.

[0047] Preferably, the safe and convenient insulin injection pen provided in this embodiment also includes a cartridge holder 2, a needle pushing-off mechanism 22 is provided at the injection end of the cartridge holder 2, and accommodating cavities 21 are respectively provided on both sides of the cartridge holder 2. The needle pushing-off mechanism 22 is respectively provided in the accommodating cavity 21 and can push the lower cap body 17 to push down the needle assembly 1.

[0048] After injecting insulin, the disposable needle assembly 1 needs to be discarded. The needle assembly 1 can be pushed down by the needle pushing mechanism 22, thereby avoiding manually unscrewing the needle, further avoiding hand contact with the needle part, and avoiding being stabbed. The needle assembly 1 is simple and convenient to remove and easy to operate.

[0049] Preferably, the needle-pushing mechanism 22 includes a thrust rod 222, a second elastic member 221, and a push button 224. The thrust rod 222 and the second elastic member 221 are disposed in the accommodating chamber 21. A limit plate 223 is connected to the lower end of the thrust rod 222. The second elastic member 221 is sleeved on the thrust rod 222. The top end of the second elastic member 221 abuts against the top end of the accommodating chamber 21, and its bottom end abuts against the limit plate 223. The push button 224 is disposed on the outside of the refill holder 2 and is connected to the limit plate 223 via a connecting rod 225. Pushing the push button 224 can cause the thrust rod 222 to extend to the outside of the refill holder 2 and push the needle assembly 1 down. Preferably, a pressing foot 226 is connected to the top end of the thrust rod 222, and the pressing foot 226 is disposed on the upper side of the refill holder 2.

[0050] After insulin is injected, the push button 224 is manually pushed to extend the push rod 222 to the outside of the cartridge holder 2 to push the lower cap 17 , thereby pushing down the needle assembly 1 on the color code cap 31 .

[0051] Preferably, if Figure 6 As shown, a sliding hole 23 is provided on the side wall of the refill frame 2 . The sliding hole 23 is L-shaped and extends toward the injection end of the refill frame 2 . A connecting rod 225 passes through the sliding hole 23 and is connected to the push button 224 .

[0052] When the push button 224 moves to the position of the horizontal hole of the L-shaped sliding hole 23, the push button 224 drives the thrust rod 222 to be retracted to the inner side of the cartridge holder 2; after injecting insulin, the push button 224 is moved to the side of the vertical hole of the L-shaped sliding hole 23 close to the injection end of the cartridge holder 2, and the push button 224 pushes the thrust rod 222 toward the injection end of the cartridge holder 2, and the pressing foot 226 pushes the lower cap body 17, thereby pushing down the needle assembly 1 on the color code cap 31.

[0053] The first elastic member, the second elastic member and the third elastic member are springs of different types. The "upper end" described herein refers to the end close to the injection needle tube, and the "lower end" refers to the end away from the injection needle tube.

[0054] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with this technical field can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the creative concept of the present invention, which should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
