Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a portable booster adapted for a syringe. Background Art

[0002] A syringe is a common medical device used to inject medicine, liquid or other substances into the human body or extract samples from the human body. A syringe usually consists of a syringe barrel, a piston, a needle and a protective cap. The syringe barrel is a hollow cylinder used to hold liquid medicine or other substances; the piston is the moving part in the barrel, which adjusts the flow of liquid medicine by pushing and pulling the piston; the needle is connected to one end of the barrel and is used to inject or extract liquid medicine; the protective cap is used to protect the needle and prevent contamination. Syringes are widely used in the medical field, and they are also used for sampling, experimental operations, etc. in laboratory environments.

[0003] When injecting a patient with a drug solution through a syringe, medical staff need to use the syringe to extract the correct dose of drug solution from the medicine bottle or medicine container, then insert the syringe needle with the drug solution extracted into the pre-sterilized injection site, and then slowly and steadily push the syringe piston to inject the drug solution into the patient's body. During the injection process, medical staff need to closely observe the patient's reaction and ensure that the speed and method of drug injection are correct.

[0004] Existing drug injection is mainly completed by manual injection by medical staff. During the manual injection of the syringe, the medical staff's hands need to maintain a fixed injection posture. Therefore, manual injection is easily affected by the operator's hand shaking or hand fatigue due to long injection time, resulting in unstable injection speed and difficulty in maintaining consistent flow and speed. Unstable injection speed, fast or slow, not only easily causes patients to feel additional pain or discomfort, but also affects the absorption and distribution of the drug solution, reduces the efficacy of the drug, and may increase the risk of local tissue damage during injection. In addition, the dosage control of manual injection is affected by the operator's skill level and hand stability, which is prone to dosage errors, resulting in inaccurate drug injection dosage.

[0043] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0044] The present invention provides a technical solution:

[0045] like Figure 1 - Figure 3 A portable booster adapted for a syringe as shown comprises a housing 1: a booster assembly is arranged inside the housing 1, the booster assembly comprises a gear 3, a rack 4 and a connecting plate 5, a clamping assembly is arranged on one side of the connecting plate 5, a piston 25 is arranged on one side of the clamping assembly, the booster assembly is used to push and pull the piston 25 to adjust the inflow and outflow of the liquid medicine, and the clamping assembly is used to fix the piston 25;

[0046] The function of the booster assembly is to control the movement of the piston 25 through the booster assembly, thereby adjusting the inflow and outflow of the liquid medicine, and by adjusting the movement speed of the booster assembly, the injection speed of the liquid medicine can be controlled.

[0047] See also Figure 2 - Fig. 9The clamping assembly includes a fixed block 9, a driving disk 15 and a fixed disk 18. The driving disk 15 is located between the fixed block 9 and the fixed disk 18. The fixed block 9 is connected to the slider 6 in a fixed connection. A worm gear 10 is arranged inside the fixed block 9. A connecting shaft 11 is connected to the middle of the worm gear 10. A worm 12 is connected to one side of the worm gear 10. A driving shaft 13 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the worm 12. A through groove 14 is provided on the upper surface of the housing 1. The driving shaft 13 passes through the through groove 14. A limiting groove 16 is provided inside the driving disk 15. The limiting groove 16 has an arc-shaped structure. The limiting groove 16 is arranged inside There is a driven rod 17, four of which are arranged, and the driven rods 17 are distributed at equal angles about the center of the driving disk 15. The connecting shaft 11 passes through the driving disk 15, and the connection mode between the connecting shaft 11 and the driving disk 15 is a fixed connection. A slide groove 19 is provided inside the fixed disk 18, and a slide plate 20 is arranged inside the slide groove 19. The slide plate 20 is fixedly connected to the driven rod 17, and a locking block 21 is fixedly connected to one end of the slide plate 20. Springs 22 are arranged at equal distances inside the locking block 21, and the other end of the spring 22 is connected to a locking plate 23. A convex shaft 24 is fixedly connected to the other side of the fixed disk 18.

[0048] The principle of clamping the piston 25 is that after the syringe is placed inside the housing 1, when the end of the piston 25 abuts against the convex shaft 24, it means that the syringe has been accurately placed in the installation position, and then the drive shaft 13 is rotated, the drive shaft 13 drives the worm 12 to rotate, and then the worm 12 drives the worm wheel 10 to rotate, and the worm wheel 10 drives the drive disk 15 to rotate through the connecting shaft 11. During the rotation of the drive disk 15, the driven rod 17 slides inside the limit groove 16, and the driven rod 17 The slide plate 20 is driven to slide inside the slide groove 19, so that the slide plate 20 drives the locking block 21 to move in a straight line. The locking blocks 21 move toward the direction of the piston 25, are tightly connected with the curved surface of the piston 25 and clamp it. One side of the piston 25 is tightly fitted with the cam 24, and the other side of the piston 25 is tightly fitted with the locking plate 23. The purpose of clamping the piston 25 is achieved through the mutual cooperation of the locking block 21, the locking plate 23 and the cam 24, and it is beneficial to meet the clamping requirements of pistons 25 of different sizes.

[0049] See also Figure 2 - Figure 3 A locking assembly is provided inside the housing 1, and a syringe 26 is sleeved on the outer surface of the piston 25. The locking assembly is used to lock the syringe 26. The locking assembly includes a clamping block 31. A screw rod 32 and a guide shaft 34 are passed through the interior of the clamping block 31. The clamping block 31 is symmetrically distributed about the transverse center line of the syringe 26. One side of the clamping block 31 is in a "V"-shaped structure. A knob 33 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the screw rod 32. A notch 35 is opened on one side of the housing 1. The notch 35 is in a circular structure, and the diameter of the notch 35 is larger than the diameter of the syringe 26.

[0050] The principle of fixing the syringe 26 is that the syringe 26 can be passed through the slot 35 to enter the interior of the shell 1. When the end of the piston 25 abuts against the cam 24, it means that the syringe has been accurately placed in the installation position. Then, the knob 33 is rotated to drive the screw rod 32 to rotate. The screw rod 32 drives the clamping block 31 to rise and fall through rotation. The clamping block 31 fits tightly with the syringe 26 and clamps it, so that the syringe 26 is fixed inside the shell 1. Since one side of the clamping block 31 is in a "V" shape, the clamping block 31 can meet the clamping requirements of syringes 26 of different sizes.

[0051] See also Figure 1 - Figure 4 A servo motor 2 is installed inside the shell 1, and the output shaft of the servo motor 2 is connected to the gear 3. A driver 27 is connected to one side of the servo motor 2, and a controller 28 is connected to one side of the driver 27. A button 29 is provided on one side of the controller 28. A display screen 30 is installed inside the shell 1, and the display screen 30 is electrically connected to the controller 28. The rack 4 and the connecting plate 5 form an inverted "L"-shaped structure. A slider 6 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting plate 5, and the slider 6 is connected to the shell 1 in a sliding manner. A distance sensor 7 is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting plate 5, and a fixing plate 8 is provided on one side of the distance sensor 7, and the fixing plate 8 is fixedly connected to the shell 1.

[0052] The principle of using the booster is that, first, the medical staff can pass the syringe through the slot 35 to make it enter the interior of the housing 1. The syringe consists of a syringe barrel 26 and a piston 25. Then, the syringe barrel 26 is fixed by a locking assembly so that the syringe barrel 26 is fixed inside the housing 1, and the piston 25 is clamped by a clamping assembly. Then, the needle on one side of the syringe barrel 26 is inserted into the medicine container, and then the button 29 is pressed. After the controller 28 receives the start signal, it controls the output shaft of the servo motor 2 to rotate through the driver 27, and the output shaft of the servo motor 2 drives the gear 3 to rotate. The gear 3 drives the rack 4 to move by rotating, and the rack 4 drives the connecting plate 5 to move horizontally and linearly. The connecting plate 5 drives the piston 25 to move linearly through the clamping assembly. The piston 25 extracts the liquid medicine by sliding, so that the liquid medicine enters the interior of the syringe 26. When the specified dose of liquid medicine is extracted, the button 29 is pressed again. At this time, after the controller 28 receives the stop signal, it will control the output shaft of the servo motor 2 to stop rotating through the driver 27. At this time, the drug extraction work is completed. In this process, the connecting plate 5 drives the distance sensor 7 to move synchronously. After the distance sensor 7 stops moving, it will measure The distance between the fixed plate 8 and the horizontal distance between the distance sensor 7 and the fixed plate 8 is the distance moved by the piston 25 during the drug extraction process, and the distance sensor 7 transmits the measured distance data to the controller 28. Then the medical staff inputs the time required for the injection of the drug solution through the display screen 30. After obtaining the required injection time, the controller 28 calculates the injection speed, thereby calculating the rotation speed of the output shaft of the servo motor 2. Then, the medical staff can insert the syringe needle that has been extracted with the drug solution into the pre-sterilized injection site. After inserting to a suitable depth, the button 29 can be pressed, and the controller 28 receives the injection. After receiving the injection signal, the output shaft of the servo motor 2 will be controlled by the driver 27 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the rotation speed is the calculated rotation speed. The gear 3 drives the rack 4 to move by rotating, and the rack 4 drives the piston 25 to move synchronously through the clamping assembly connected by the connecting plate 5, so that the piston 25 moves toward the inside of the syringe 26, thereby injecting the drug solution. During this process, if the patient feels uncomfortable, the medical staff can press the button 29. At this time, after the controller 28 receives the stop signal, it will control the output shaft of the servo motor 2 to stop rotating through the driver 27, thereby interrupting the injection work.
