A portion of each terminal 542 protrudes out of the housing 541 and is electrically connected to the second plate portion 533 of the flexible circuit board 53. The lever 543 is movably connected to the housing 541 and a portion of it protrudes out of the housing 541. The lever 543 can be moved to at least two different positions by being triggered. In this embodiment, the toggle switch 54 is a swing-type toggle switch as an example, and the lever 543 is swingably pivoted to the housing 541. The lever 543 is constantly kept at an original position P0 by an elastic force applied to the lever 543 by a spring (not shown) disposed in the housing 541. The lever 543 extends along the second lateral direction D3 when in the original position P0. The lever 543 can be triggered to swing to four different positions, namely a first position P1, a second position P2, a third position P3 and a fourth position P4. The original position P0 is between the first position P1 and the third position P3, the first position P1 is between the original position P0 and the second position P2, and the third position P3 is between the original position P0 and the fourth position P4.

The sleeve wall 645 is sleeved and fixed at the middle position of the push rod 640 to block the head end of the sleeve 610 of the moving member 61. Two abutting arms 646 are respectively connected to the two opposite sides of the sleeve wall 645 and are spaced along the second transverse direction D3 and protrude from the head end of the sleeve wall 645 to respectively abut against the two limit blocks 314 of the housing 3. The two side arms 647 are respectively connected to the other two opposite sides of the sleeve wall 645 and are spaced along the first transverse direction D2. Each side arm 647 protrudes from the head and tail ends of the sleeve wall 645. Each side arm 647 has a rack 648 extending along the length direction D1 on the outside. The rack 648 is spaced from the tail end of the sleeve wall 645 along the length direction D1 and has a first ratchet 649 and a second ratchet 650. The first ratchet 649 is away from the sleeve wall 645. The second ratchet 650 is connected to one end of the first ratchet 649 and is adjacent to the sleeve wall 645. The push member 64 can be in an initial position (such as Figure 2 , 3 As shown), a retracted position (as shown Fig.12 ), and a predetermined position (as shown Fig.16 The retracted position is between the initial position and the predetermined position. The push member 64 is adjacent to the opening 311 of the housing 3 when in the initial position. The push member 64 is away from the opening 311 of the housing 3 when in the retracted position or the predetermined position.

[0059] The spring assembly 65 is sleeved on the pushing rod 640 of the pushing member 64 and has two ends respectively abutting against the rear end of the sleeve wall 645 and the rear wall 313 of the housing 3 to apply elastic force to the pushing member 64 toward the opening 311 .

[0060] The push frame 66 is movably sleeved on the push rod 640 and abutted by the guide frames 611, 611' on both sides of the movable member 61. The push frame 66 has two sliding parts 661, two buckle parts 662, and two push parts 663. The two sliding parts 661 are spaced apart along the second transverse direction D3 and are slidably connected to the two guide grooves 643 respectively. The two buckle parts 662 are spaced apart along the first transverse direction D2 and are respectively buckled in the two grooves 644, so that the push frame 66 is positioned at a position spaced apart from the push head 642. The two push parts 663 are spaced apart along the second transverse direction D3 to push the sliding sleeve 12 and the syringe 13 of the medicine box 1 to make them move relative to the box shell 11.

[0061] The locking assembly 7 is disposed in the accommodating space 310 of the housing 3 and adjacent to the rear wall 313. The locking assembly 7 includes a locking member 71, an unlocking member 72, and two springs 73. The locking member 71 is covered on the push mechanism 6 and has a first arc wall 711 and two first side walls 712 respectively connected to two opposite sides of the first arc wall 711 and spaced apart along the first transverse direction D2. The two first side walls 712 are respectively sleeved on the two guide posts 315 and can move along the extension direction of the guide posts 315. Each first side wall 712 has a locking hook 713 on the inner side thereof, and the locking hook 713 is used to engage with the first ratchet 649 or the second ratchet 650 of the corresponding rack 648 of the push member 64 to lock the push member 64. The locking hook 713 has an inclined surface 714, and the inclined surface 714 is used for the first ratchet 649 or the second ratchet 650 to contact and push. The locking member 71 can be in a first locking position (eg Fig.13 As shown), a second locking position (as shown Fig.17 ) and an unlocked position (as shown Fig.24 When the locking member 71 is in the first locking position, the locking hook 713 engages the first ratchet 649 of the corresponding rack 648 to lock the push member 64. When the locking member 71 is in the second locking position, the locking hook 713 engages the second ratchet 650 of the corresponding rack 648 to lock the push member 64. When the locking member 71 is in the unlocking position, the locking hook 713 can release the first ratchet 649 or the second ratchet 650 to release the locking state of the push member 64.

[0062] The unlocking member 72 is covered on the pushing mechanism 6 and has a second arc wall 721, and two second side walls 722 respectively connected to the two opposite sides of the second arc wall 721 and spaced apart along the first transverse direction D2. The second arc wall 721 abuts against the first arc wall 711. The two second side walls 722 are respectively sleeved on the two guide posts 315 and can move along the extending direction of the guide posts 315. Each second side wall 722 has a stop block 723 on the inner side, and the stop block 723 and the locking hook 713 are spaced apart along the length direction D1. The stop block 723 is used to abut against the corresponding stop block 614 of the moving member 61 so as to be stopped by the corresponding stop block 614, thereby preventing the unlocking member 72 from moving along the guide post 315. A guide groove 724 and an avoidance groove 725 are formed on the inner side of each second side wall 722. The guide groove 724 extends along the length direction D1 and is located on a side of the stop block 723 opposite to the second arc wall 721. The guide groove 724 is used to guide the movement of the corresponding stop block 614. The avoidance groove 725 is between the stop block 723 and the locking hook 713 and communicates with the guide groove 724. The avoidance groove 725 extends along the second transverse direction D3 to accommodate the corresponding stop block 614.

[0063] The button 8 is rotatably pivoted to the housing 31 of the casing 3 and abuts against the second arc wall 721 of the unlocking member 72. A portion of the button 8 is exposed from the housing 31 for pressing to drive the unlocking member 72 and the locking member 71 to move along the guide column 315.

[0064] When each of the stop blocks 614 of the moving member 61 is located in the corresponding guide groove 724 of the unlocking member 72 and blocks the corresponding stop block 723, the unlocking member 72 is in a blocked state (eg Fig.13 , 14 As shown in FIG. 1 ), the second arc-shaped wall 721 of the unlocking member 72 can block the button 8 to prevent the button 8 from being pressed by mistake and rotating relative to the housing 3. When each stop block 614 of the moving member 61 is located in the corresponding avoidance groove 725 of the unlocking member 72 and does not block the corresponding stop block 723, the unlocking member 72 is in an unblocked state (as shown in FIG. 1 ). Fig. 22 As shown), the button 8 can be pressed to rotate relative to the housing 3.

[0065] The two springs 73 are respectively sleeved on the two guide pillars 315 , and two ends of each spring 73 respectively abut against the shell 31 of the housing 3 and the corresponding first side wall 712 to apply elastic force to the locking member 71 in a direction away from the pushing mechanism 6 .

[0066] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 8Before the medicine cartridge 1 is assembled to the injection pen 2, the spring assembly 65 exerts an elastic force on the push member 64, so that the push member 64 is positioned at the initial position where the two stop arms 646 respectively stop against the two limit blocks 314 of the housing 3. The spring 63 exerts an elastic force on the moving member 61, so that the moving member 61 is positioned at the initial position where the sleeve 610 stops against the sleeve wall 645 of the push member 64. The spring 73 exerts an elastic force on the locking member 71, so that the locking member 71 is positioned at the position where the first arcuate wall 711 stops against the second arcuate wall 721, and the unlocking member 72 abutting against the locking member 71 is positioned at the position where the second arcuate wall 721 stops against the housing 31 and the button 8.

[0067] The following is a detailed description of the method of using the injection device 100:

[0068] Fig.10 1 is a step flow chart of the method of using the injection device 100 of the present embodiment, comprising the following steps: step S1: loading the drug cartridge into the injection pen, step S2: pre-pressing the skin, step S3: injecting the drug, and step S4: removing the drug cartridge.

[0069] Fig.11 3 is a digital signal waveform diagram of the toggle switch 54 of the present embodiment during use of the injection device 100, which includes a first unsensed section US1, a first sensing section SS1, a second unsensed section US2, a second sensing section SS2, a third unsensed section US3, a third sensing section SS3, and a fourth unsensed section US4.

[0070] See also Fig.10 , Fig.12 and Fig.13In step S1, the tail end 112 of the medicine box 1 is first aligned with the opening 311 of the injection pen 2. Then, the medicine box 1 is inserted into the opening 311 along a retraction direction D11 parallel to the length direction D1, so that the medicine box 1 extends into the accommodating space 310 through the opening 311. During the movement of the medicine box 1 along the retraction direction D11, the two buckle parts 113 will first push the two buckle arms 613 of the moving member 61 outward respectively, so that the two buckle arms 613 are then buckled into the two buckle parts 113 respectively. Afterwards, the tail end 112 of the cartridge housing 11 will push the side guide frames 611, 611' of the moving member 61 to move, and the moving member 61 will compress the spring 63 during the movement to deform it and accumulate the reset elastic force. At the same time, the plunger 133 of the syringe 13 will push the push head 642 of the push member 64 to move, and the push member 64 will compress the spring assembly 65 during the movement to deform it and accumulate the reset elastic force. Then, the first ratchet tooth 649 of the rack 648 of each side arm 647 will contact and push the inclined surface 714 of the corresponding locking hook 713 of the locking member 71. The component force applied by the first ratchet tooth 649 to the inclined surface 714 will prompt the locking member 71 to move toward the spring 73 and compress the spring 73 to deform it and accumulate the restoring elastic force.

[0071] When the first ratchet 649 of each side arm 647 passes over the corresponding locking hook 713, the restoring elastic force accumulated by the spring 73 rebounds the locking member 71, so that the locking member 71 moves to the first locking position where the locking hook 713 is engaged with the first ratchet 649, thereby locking the push member 64 in place. Fig.12 At the same time, each stopper 614 of the moving member 61 moves into the corresponding guide groove 724 and stops the corresponding stopper 723, so that the unlocking member 72 is in a stopped state. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the locking member 71 is mistakenly pressed and the unlocking member 72 drives the locking member 71 to move away from the first locking position.

[0072] See also Fig.11 , Fig.12 and Fig.14 Since the sleeve 610 of the moving member 61 is stopped by the sleeve wall 645 of the pushing member 64, when the pushing member 64 is positioned at the retracted position, the moving member 61 is also positioned at the position as shown in FIG. Fig.12 At this time, the first push arc surface 623 of the first trigger protrusion 621 of the trigger component 62 is adjacent to the lever 543 of the toggle switch 54 and just contacts the lever 543. Since the lever 543 has not been triggered and is located at the original position P0, the toggle switch 54 is in the closed state with the digital signal being 0, and the waveform of the digital signal is in the first unsensed section US1.

[0073] See also Fig.11 , Fig.12 , Fig.13 and Fig.15When the medicine box 1 continues to move along the retracting direction D11 and drives the moving member 61 and the pushing member 64 to move, the second ratchet 650 of the rack 648 of each side arm 647 will contact and push the inclined surface 714 of the corresponding locking hook 713 of the locking member 71. The component force applied by the second ratchet 650 to the inclined surface 714 will cause the locking member 71 to move toward the spring 73 and compress the spring 73 to deform and accumulate the restoring elastic force, so that the locking hook 713 moves away from the first locking position and moves toward the unlocking position. At the same time, the first pushing arc surface 623 of the first contact protrusion 621 of the contact assembly 62 pushes the lever 543 to swing the lever 543 along the first swing direction R1 to the first position P1. The first contact protrusion 621 pushes the lever 543 through the first pushing arc surface 623 to increase the uniformity of the force applied to the lever 543, so that the lever 543 can swing smoothly along the first swing direction R1 to the first position P1. At this time, the toggle switch 54 is switched from the closed state to the open state and generates a signal, so that the digital signal is transformed from 0 to 1 and the waveform is transformed to the first sensing section SS1. Figure 2 When a controller (not shown) of the injection device 100 receives a signal generated by the toggle switch 54, the injection device 100 is in a sensing state ST1, and the injection pen 2 of the injection device 100 switches from a dormant state to a working state.

[0074] See also Fig.11 , Fig.16 , Fig.17 and Fig.18 When the medicine box 1 continues to move along the retracting direction D11 and drives the moving member 61 and the pushing member 64 to move, the second ratchet teeth 650 of the rack 648 of each side arm 647 will move away from the corresponding locking hook 713 in the unlocking position, and the first pushing arc surface 623 of the first actuating protrusion 621 of the actuating assembly 62 will push the lever 543 of the toggle switch 54 to rotate it to the second position P2 (such as Figure 7 As shown). When the second ratchet 650 passes over the corresponding locking hook 713 in the unlocked position, the restoring elastic force accumulated by the spring 73 rebounds the locking member 71, so that the locking member 71 moves to the second locking position where the locking hook 713 engages with the second ratchet 650, so as to lock the push member 64 in the predetermined position, and the moving member 61 is positioned in the predetermined position. At the same time, the first touch protrusion 621 passes over the lever 543 in the second position P2, so that the lever 543 is accommodated in the accommodating groove 628. The elastic force applied by the spring to the lever 543 causes the lever 543 to swing along the second swinging direction R2 and reset to the original position P0. At this time, the toggle switch 54 switches from the on state to the off state without generating a signal, so that the digital signal is converted from 1 to 0 and the waveform is converted to the second unsensed section US2. Circuit board assembly 4 (as shown Figure 2When the controller (not shown) of the injection pen 2 does not receive the signal generated by the toggle switch 54, it means that the loading of the medicine cartridge 1 is completed and the injection device 100 is in a loading state ST2 in which the injection pen 2 is loaded with the medicine cartridge 1.

[0075] See also Fig.10 , Fig.17 , Fig.18 and Fig.19 Then, step S2 is performed, firstly, the end cover 14 (such as Fig.16 The cartridge case 11 is detached from the cartridge case 11, and the injection device 100 is moved to the user's skin 9 so that the head end 111 of the cartridge case 11 contacts the skin 9. Fig.16 The outer wall surface of the rear wall 313 of the housing 3 of the injection pen 2 is pressed in the extension direction D12 (shown in FIG. 1 ). Since the head end 111 of the cartridge housing 11 contacts the skin 9, and the side guide frames 611, 611' of the moving member 61 abut against the rear end 112 of the cartridge housing 11, during the process of pressing the rear wall 313 of the housing 3, the cartridge housing 11 and the moving member 61 remain fixed, and the housing 3 moves relative to the cartridge housing 11 and the moving member 61.

[0076] During the movement of the housing 3 along the extension direction D12, the rear wall 313 pushes the push member 64 through the spring assembly 65, so that the push head 642 is inserted into the plunger 133 of the syringe 13. The push rod 640 of the push member 64 drives the push frame 66 to move, so that the push frame 66 pushes the sliding sleeve 12 and the syringe 13 to move relative to the cartridge case 11. In this way, the needle 132 can approach the skin 9. During the movement of the housing 3, the circuit board assembly 4, the sensor assembly 5, the locking assembly 7 and the button 8 are driven to move at the same time, so that the lever 543 of the toggle switch 54 gradually approaches the second push arc surface 625 of the second actuating protrusion 622, and each guide groove 724 of the unlocking member 72 gradually moves away from the corresponding stop block 614 and each avoidance groove 725 gradually approaches the corresponding stop block 614.

[0077] See also Fig.11 , Fig.19 and Fig. 20 When the housing 3 moves a predetermined distance to Fig.19 When the toggle switch 54 is in the position shown, the lever 543 of the toggle switch 54 contacts the first arc segment 626 of the second push arc surface 625 and is pushed by the first arc segment 626, so that the lever 543 swings along the first swing direction R1 to the first position P1. At this time, the toggle switch 54 switches from the closed state to the open state and generates a signal, so that the digital signal is transformed from 0 to 1 and the waveform is transformed to the second sensing section SS2. The circuit board assembly 4 (such as Figure 2When the controller (not shown) receives the signal generated by the toggle switch 54 again, it means that the injection device 100 is in a sensing state ST3.

[0078] See also Fig.11 , Fig.21 and Fig. 22 When the housing 3 continues to move a predetermined distance to Fig. 22 When the lever 543 of the toggle switch 54 is in the position shown, the lever 543 contacts the second arc segment 627 of the second push arc surface 625 and is pushed by the second arc segment 627, so that the lever 543 swings from the first position P1 to the second position P2 along the first swing direction R1. At this time, the second arc segment 627 pushes against the lever 543 to temporarily position it at the second position P2, so that the toggle switch 54 remains in the on state, and the injection device 100 is in a pre-compression completion state ST4. The second actuating protrusion 622 can increase the uniformity of the force applied to the lever 543 by pushing the lever 543 through the second push arc surface 625, so that the lever 543 can swing smoothly and sequentially to the first position P1 and the second position P2 along the first swing direction R1.

[0079] In addition, the moving member 61 (such as Fig.19 As shown in the figure, when the unlocking member 72 is in the retracted position relative to the housing 3, each guide groove 724 of the unlocking member 72 moves away from the corresponding stop block 614 and each avoidance groove 725 moves to the corresponding stop block 614 and is accommodated by the corresponding stop block 614, so that the stop block 723 will not be stopped by the corresponding stop block 614, so that the unlocking member 72 is in the unblocked state. By moving the housing 3 along the extension direction D12 by the aforementioned predetermined stroke, the unlocking member 72 can be switched from the blocked state to the unblocked state. Therefore, the button 8 can be pressed and the locking member 71 can be unlocked by driving the unlocking member 72.

[0080] See also Fig.23 and Fig.24 Then, step S3 is performed, in which the button 8 is pressed in a pressing direction D31 parallel to the second transverse direction D3, so that the button 8 rotates relative to the housing 31 of the housing 3. During the rotation of the button 8, the second arcuate wall 721 of the unlocking member 72 is pressed downward, so that the unlocking member 72 moves along the guide column 315. During the movement of the unlocking member 72, the first arcuate wall 711 of the locking member 71 is pressed downward by the second arcuate wall 721, so that the locking member 71 moves along the guide column 315 and compresses the spring 73. When the locking member 71 moves to Fig.24 In the unlocked position shown in FIG. 1 , each locking hook 713 of the locking member 71 releases the second ratchet tooth 650 of the corresponding rack 648 to release the locking push member 64 (eg, Fig.19 The locked state is shown.

[0081] See also Fig.11 and Fig.25When the locking state of the push member 64 is released, the restoring elastic force accumulated by the spring assembly 65 will rebound the push member 64 and make the push member 64 move along the extension direction D12. During the movement of the push member 64, the push frame 66 pushes the sliding sleeve 12 and the syringe 13 to move along the extension direction D12. Fig.25 When the syringe 13 moves to the position shown in FIG. Fig.25 When the position shown in FIG. 1 is reached, the needle 132 is inserted into the skin 9 so that the syringe 13 no longer moves. Thus, the pusher frame 66 stops and is positioned at Fig.25 The push rod 640 of the push member 64 will continue to move relative to the push frame 66 and the syringe 131 of the syringe 13, so that the two grooves 644 move away from the two claws 662 respectively, and the push head 642 pushes the plunger 133 to move toward the needle 132. Thereby, the plunger 133 can start to squeeze the medicine into the needle 132 and inject it into the skin 9 through the needle 132. At this time, the injection device 100 is in an injection start state ST5.

[0082] See also Fig.11 and Fig.26 The restoring elastic force accumulated by the spring assembly 65 continues to drive the push member 64 to move along the extension direction D12, so that the plunger 133 continues to squeeze the medicine into the needle 132 and inject it into the skin 9 through the needle 132. Fig.26 When the push head 642 stops at the position of the syringe 131, it is no longer possible to push the plunger 133 to move, so that the push member 64 is positioned at a push completion position (such as the push completion position) between the initial position and the predetermined position and adjacent to the initial position. Fig.26 At this time, the injection device 100 is in an injection end state ST6.

[0083] See also Fig. 9 , Fig.11 and Fig.21 Since the second thickness T2 of the second actuating protrusion 622 is greater than the first thickness T1 of the first actuating protrusion 621, the second arc segment 627 can push against the lever 543 to temporarily position it at the second position P2. In this way, it can be ensured that the injection device 100 can only proceed to step S3 in the pre-pressing completion state ST4. In addition, since the pre-pressing completion state ST4, the injection start state ST5 and the injection end state ST6 are all in the second sensing section SS2, it can be determined whether the injection device 100 has actually completed the operations of step S2 and step S3 by detecting the length of time the toggle switch 54 remains in the on state.

[0084] See also Fig.10 , Fig.11 , Figure 27 to Figure 28Finally, step S4 is performed. After the injection of the injection device 100 is completed, the injection pen 2 is moved along the retracting direction D11. The elastic force applied by the spring assembly 65 to the push member 64 causes the push member 64 to move toward the initial position. The elastic force applied by the spring 63 to the moving member 61 causes the moving member 61 to move along the extending direction D12 and push the sliding sleeve 12 to move relative to the cartridge housing 11, and the second actuating protrusion 622 moves relative to the toggle switch 54. In this way, the medicine cartridge 1 can gradually extend out of the opening 311 and move away from the accommodating space 310. When the housing 3 moves away from the skin 9 for a predetermined distance, the second actuating arc surface 625 of the second actuating protrusion 622 separates from the lever 543. The elastic force applied by the spring to the lever 543 causes the lever 543 to swing along the second swinging direction R2 and return to the original position P0. At this time, the toggle switch 54 switches from the on state to the off state without generating any signal, so that the digital signal changes from 1 to 0 and the waveform changes to the third unsensed section US3. Figure 2 When the controller (not shown) does not receive the signal generated by the toggle switch 54, it means that the injection device 100 is in a removal state ST7 away from the skin 9.

[0085] See also Fig.11 and Fig.29 When the housing 3 continues to move away from the skin 9 for a predetermined distance, the push inclined surface 624 of the first actuating protrusion 621 pushes the lever 543, causing the lever 543 to swing along the second swing direction R2 to the third position P3. At this time, the toggle switch 54 switches from the closed state to the open state and generates a signal, so that the digital signal changes from 0 to 1 and the waveform changes to the third sensing section SS3. The circuit board assembly 4 (such as Figure 2 When the controller (not shown) receives the signal generated by the toggle switch 54 again, it means that the injection device 100 is in a sensing state ST8 in which the drug cartridge 1 is extended and moved away from the injection pen 2.

[0086] See also Fig.11 , Fig.29 and Fig.30 When the housing 3 continues to move away from the skin 9 for a predetermined distance, the pushing inclined surface 624 of the first actuating protrusion 621 continues to push the lever 543, so that the lever 543 swings along the second swing direction R2 to the fourth position P4 (such as Figure 7As shown). The first touch protrusion 621 can increase the uniformity of the force applied to the lever 543 by pushing the lever 543 with the push inclined surface 624, so that the lever 543 can smoothly swing to the third position P3 and the fourth position P4 in sequence along the second swing direction R2. When the housing 3 continues to move away from the skin 9 for a predetermined distance, the first touch protrusion 621 will pass over the lever 543 at the fourth position P4. The elastic force applied to the lever 543 by the spring causes the lever 543 to swing along the first swing direction R1 and reset to the original position P0. At this time, the toggle switch 54 switches from the on state to the off state without generating a signal, so that the digital signal is converted from 1 to 0 and the waveform is converted to the fourth unsensed section US4. Circuit board assembly 4 (as shown Figure 2 When the controller (not shown) of the injection device 100 does not receive the signal generated by the toggle switch 54, it means that the injection device 100 is in a disassembly state ST9 in which the drug cartridge 1 extends out of the injection pen 2.

[0087] See also Figure 3 , when the moving member 61 returns to Figure 3 When the drug cartridge 1 is in the initial position shown, the user can pull the drug cartridge 1 out of the injection pen 2 .

[0088] It should be noted that the injection device 100 of this embodiment may also have the following different implementations depending on the needs:

[0089] In one embodiment, the trigger assembly 62 has only the first trigger protrusion 621 and omits the second trigger protrusion 622. When the medicine box 1 moves the linked moving member 61 from the initial position to the predetermined position or from the retracted position to the initial position, the first trigger protrusion 621 cooperates with the lever 543 to enable the toggle switch 54 to generate a signal.

[0090] In another embodiment, the trigger assembly 62 only has the second trigger protrusion 622 and omits the first trigger protrusion 621. When the medicine box 1 links the movable member 61 to move from the predetermined position to the retracted position, the second trigger protrusion 622 cooperates with the lever 543 to make the toggle switch 54 generate a signal.

[0091] Another embodiment is that the toggle switch 54 is disposed on the moving member 61, the trigger assembly 62 is disposed on the housing 3, and the first trigger protrusion 621 and the second trigger protrusion 622 are disposed along the Fig. 9 The length direction D1 is shown as being reversed, that is, the first actuating protrusion 621 and the second actuating protrusion 622 are respectively adjacent to the opening 311 of the housing 3 and away from the opening 311 of the housing 3 .

[0092] In summary, the injection device 100 of this embodiment, through the mechanical contact between the toggle switch 54 and the first actuating protrusion 621 and the second actuating protrusion 622 of the actuating assembly 62, enables the toggle switch 54 to be switched between the on state and the off state to determine whether various states are actually executed. In this way, the detection accuracy and reliability can be improved, and the purpose of the present invention can be achieved.
