When the button is not pressed, the clutch is in the first position state, and the clutch cooperates with the pen housing to limit the position, so that the injection component maintains the same position; when the button is pressed, the clutch is in the second position state, and the clutch is released from the pen housing, so that the clutch is driven by the driving force to drive the injection component to achieve injection.

[0012] Optionally, the dosage adjustment component comprises:

[0013] a driving rod, axially connected to the button and the clutch, respectively; when the button is not pressed, the driving rod is combined with the knob, and the clutch is in the first position state; when the button is pressed, the driving rod is separated from the knob, and the clutch is in the second position state;

When the clutch is in the first position state, when the driving rod rotates along the first direction, the pawl device drives the sleeve to rotate synchronously. When the driving rod rotates along the second direction, the pawl device squeezes the spring sheet to make the spring sheet disengage from the first tooth groove, and drives the sleeve to rotate synchronously along the second direction after the spring sheet disengages from the first tooth groove.

[0042] The adjustable dose automatic injection pen provided by the present invention, when the knob is rotated in the first direction, the dose adjustment component is linked to increase the set dose; when the knob is rotated in the second direction, the dose adjustment component is linked to reduce the set dose; that is, the set dose can be flexibly adjusted, the set dose can be increased, and the set dose can be reduced, thereby realizing two-way adjustment of the set dose, which is convenient for users to use. Moreover, when the button is pressed, the injection component can be linked to achieve injection. In addition, when the button is not pressed, since the clutch is in the first position state, at this time, the clutch and the pen shell cooperate to limit, and under the limit of the pen shell, the position of the clutch remains fixed, that is, the clutch cannot rotate at this time, so that the injection component remains in the same position. Therefore, when the button is not pressed, the dose adjustment can be achieved by twisting the knob, and the injection component remains in the same position at the same time, and no injection action will be generated, thereby avoiding the position of the injection component changing when adjusting the dose, causing liquid to seep out, and affecting the injection accuracy. When injection is needed, the button can be pressed to put the clutch in the second position. At this time, the clutch and the pen housing are released, so that the clutch is driven by the driving force to drive the injection assembly to achieve injection. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0101] 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.

[0102] The core of the present invention is to provide an adjustable dose automatic injection pen, which can adjust the set dose in two directions.

[0103] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The embodiment of the present invention provides an adjustable dose automatic injection pen, comprising a pen housing assembly, a dose adjustment assembly, an injection assembly and a clutch 6. The pen housing assembly comprises a pen housing 10 and a rotatable knob 11 and a depressible button 21 respectively arranged on the pen housing 10; the dose adjustment assembly is linked with the knob 11, and is used to increase the set dose when the knob 11 is rotated in a first direction, and to reduce the set dose when the knob 11 is rotated in a second direction opposite to the first direction; the injection assembly is linked with the button 21, and is used to achieve injection when the button 21 is pressed; the clutch 6 is connected between the dose adjustment assembly and the injection assembly, and the clutch 6 has a first position state and a second position state. When the button 21 is not pressed, the clutch 6 is in the first position state, and the clutch 6 cooperates with the pen housing 10 to limit, so that the injection assembly remains in the same position; when the button 21 is pressed, the clutch 6 is in the second position state, and the clutch 6 is released from the pen housing 10, so that the clutch 6 drives the injection assembly to achieve injection under the action of the driving force.

[0104] The adjustable dose automatic injection pen, when the knob 11 is rotated in the first direction, the dose adjustment component is linked to increase the set dose; when the knob 11 is rotated in the second direction, the dose adjustment component is linked to reduce the set dose; that is, the set dose can be flexibly adjusted, the set dose can be increased, and the set dose can be reduced, thereby realizing two-way adjustment of the set dose, which is convenient for users to use. Moreover, when the button 21 is pressed, the injection component can be linked to achieve injection. In addition, when the button 21 is not pressed, since the clutch 6 is in the first position state, at this time, the clutch 6 and the pen shell 10 cooperate to limit, and under the limit of the pen shell 10, the position of the clutch 6 remains fixed, that is, the clutch 6 cannot rotate at this time, so that the injection component remains in the same position. Therefore, when the button 21 is not pressed, the dose adjustment can be achieved by twisting the knob 11, and the injection component remains in the same position at the same time, and no injection action will be generated, thereby avoiding the change of the injection component position when adjusting the dose, resulting in liquid seepage, and affecting the injection accuracy. When injection is needed, the button 21 can be pressed to put the clutch 6 in the second position. At this time, the clutch 6 is released from the pen housing 10, so that the clutch 6 is driven by the driving force to drive the injection assembly to achieve injection.

[0105] It should be noted that the present embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the dosage adjustment component, as long as bidirectional dosage adjustment can be achieved.

[0106] In some embodiments, the dose adjustment assembly includes a drive rod 19, a sleeve 17, a claw device 7 and a dose indicator 9. The drive rod 19 is axially connected to the button 21 and the clutch 6 respectively. When the button 21 is not pressed, the drive rod 19 is combined with the knob 11, and the clutch 6 is in the first position state; when the button 21 is pressed, the drive rod 19 is separated from the knob 11, and the clutch 6 is in the second position state; the sleeve 17 is axially limited with the drive rod 19, the sleeve 17 has a spring sheet 171, and the clutch 6 is provided with a first inner one-way tooth 63, and the spring sheet 171 extends into the first tooth groove of the first inner one-way tooth 63, so that the clutch The device 6 limits the rotation of the sleeve 17 along the second direction; the pawl device 7 is fixedly connected to the driving rod 19. When the clutch is in the first position, when the driving rod 19 rotates along the first direction, the pawl device 7 drives the sleeve 17 to rotate synchronously. When the driving rod 19 rotates along the second direction, the pawl device 7 squeezes the spring piece 171 to make the spring piece 171 disengage from the first tooth groove, and drives the sleeve 17 to rotate synchronously along the second direction after the spring piece 171 disengages from the first tooth groove; the dosage indicator 9 can rotate synchronously with the sleeve 17, and the dosage indicator 9 can move axially relative to the sleeve 17, and the dosage indicator 9 is threadedly connected to the pen housing 10.

[0107] It should be noted that, for the convenience of description, the proximal end in the embodiment of the present invention refers to the end close to the injection end of the adjustable dose automatic injection pen, that is, the end close to the injection direction; the distal end refers to the end away from the injection end of the adjustable dose automatic injection pen, that is, the end away from the injection direction; the axial direction refers to the length direction of the adjustable dose automatic injection pen, and the circumferential direction refers to the circumferential direction of the adjustable dose automatic injection pen. In addition, the first direction and the second direction in the embodiment of the present invention refer to two opposite directions, for example, the first direction is the clockwise direction, and the first direction is the direction of increasing the dose; the second direction is the counterclockwise direction, and the second direction is the direction of decreasing the dose. At the same time, the second direction is also the rotation direction of the injection assembly during injection.

[0108] It should be noted that the clutch 6 and the sleeve 17 are respectively fixed axially relative to the drive rod 19, that is, the clutch 6 and the sleeve 17 can respectively make axial movements synchronously with the drive rod 19, while the clutch 6 and the sleeve 17 can respectively rotate circumferentially relative to the drive rod 19; the pawl device 7 is fixedly connected to the drive rod 19, so the pawl device 7 can move axially synchronously with the drive rod 19 and can rotate circumferentially synchronously with the drive rod 19.

[0109] It can be understood that the knob 11, the drive rod 19, the sleeve 17, the catch 7 and the dose indicator 9 cooperate to form a dose adjustment assembly, so that the set dose of a single injection of the adjustable dose automatic injection pen is adjustable. When the knob 11 is rotated in a first direction, the set dose increases, and when the knob 11 is rotated in a second direction, the set dose decreases.

[0110] Specifically, when the set dose needs to be adjusted and increased, the knob 11 is rotated in the first direction (eg Figure 6 As shown), note that button 21 is not pressed at this time (as shown Figure 7 As shown), at this time, the driving rod 19 is combined with the knob 11 (as shown Figure 8 As shown), the knob 11 drives the drive rod 19 to rotate in the first direction, the drive rod 19 drives the pawl device 7 to rotate synchronously, and the pawl device 7 drives the sleeve 17 to rotate synchronously (the clutch 6 and the sleeve 17 are connected by the first inner one-way tooth 63 and the spring 171, the clutch 6 limits the rotation of the sleeve 17 in the second direction, and has no limit on the rotation of the sleeve 17 in the first direction. Therefore, when the clutch 6 is in the first position, the sleeve 17 can rotate in the first direction relative to the clutch 6), and the sleeve 17 drives the dose indicator 9 to rotate synchronously (as shown). Fig. 9 As shown), the dose indicator 9 makes a spiral motion relative to the pen housing 10 (as shown Fig.10 As shown), that is, the dose indicator 9 rotates in the first direction while making axial movement, so that the dose indicator 9 is axially displaced away from the injection direction, thereby achieving the purpose of increasing the set dose.

[0111] Please refer to Fig.11 When it is necessary to adjust and reduce the set dose, the knob 11 is rotated in the second direction. Note that the button 21 is not pressed at this time. At this time, the driving rod 19 is combined with the knob 11, so that the knob 11 drives the driving rod 19 to rotate in the second direction, and the driving rod 19 drives the pawl device 7 to rotate synchronously. The pawl device 7 retracts the spring piece 171 of the sleeve 17, so that the sleeve 17 is disengaged from the clutch 6. Therefore, after the spring piece 171 is retracted, the pawl device 7 can drive the sleeve 17 to rotate synchronously in the second direction, and the sleeve 17 drives the dose indicator 9 to rotate synchronously, so that the dose indicator 9 makes a spiral motion relative to the pen housing 10, that is, the dose indicator 9 rotates in the second direction while making an axial motion, so that the dose indicator 9 produces an axial displacement toward the injection direction, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the set dose.

[0112] During the process that the knob 11 drives the driving rod 19 to move in the first direction and in the second direction, the button 21 is not pressed. Fig.12, the clutch 6 is located at the distal position, that is, the clutch 6 is located in the first position state. At this time, the clutch 6 is combined with the pen housing 10. Under the limit of the pen housing 10, the clutch 6 cannot rotate with the drive rod 19, so that the injection component maintains the same position. Therefore, in the process of setting the dose adjustment, whether the set dose is increased or decreased, the injection component will not produce any axial displacement, and therefore will not produce any injection activity.

[0113] When the dose adjustment is completed and the injection is required, press button 21 (such as Fig.13 As shown), the button 21 drives the driving rod 19 to move axially toward the proximal end synchronously, so that the driving rod 19 is separated from the knob 11. At the same time, the driving rod 19 drives the clutch 6, the sleeve 17 and the claw device 7 to move axially toward the proximal end synchronously. Please refer to Fig.14 , so that the clutch 6 moves to the proximal position and is in the second position state, thereby separating the clutch 6 from the pen housing 10 and releasing the circumferential limiting effect of the pen housing 10 on the clutch 6. At this time, the clutch 6 can rotate freely to avoid interfering with the action of the injection assembly, so that the injection assembly can be injected.

[0114] It can be seen from this that the adjustable dose automatic injection pen can realize flexible adjustment of the set dose, and can increase the set dose or reduce the set dose, thereby realizing bidirectional adjustment of the set dose, which is convenient for users to use. When reducing the set dose, the embodiment of the present invention utilizes the rotation of the pawl device 7 to first compress and retract the spring piece 171 of the sleeve 17, so that the spring piece 171 is separated from the clutch 6, and after the spring piece 171 is retracted, the pawl device 7 drives the sleeve 17 to rotate in the second direction, that is, when the spring piece 171 is retracted, the sleeve 17 is relatively rotated relative to the clutch 6 in the second direction, thereby reducing the resistance generated by the clutch 6 when the sleeve 17 rotates in the second direction, so that the resistance during the operation of reducing the set dose is small, and the adjustment force of reducing the set dose is smoother and more stable. Moreover, when increasing the set dose, the drive rod 19 rotates in the first direction, so that the pawl device 7 drives the sleeve 17 to rotate synchronously in the first direction. At this time, the spring piece 171 is combined with the clutch 6, and the two can only rotate unidirectionally in the second direction synchronously. Therefore, when the clutch 6 is limited by the pen housing 10, the sleeve 17 cannot rotate in the second direction at this time, that is, in the process of increasing the set dose, the sleeve 17 can be prevented from rotating in the second direction, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the adjustment of increasing the set dose.

[0115] In addition, the above embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the injection component, as long as the injection component can achieve injection.

[0116] In some embodiments, the injection assembly includes a push rod 18, a radial wheel 5 and a power elastic member 8. The push rod 18 is rotatable and synchronously axially movable on the housing 10. For example, the push rod 18 is threadedly connected to the housing 10; the radial wheel 5 and the push rod 18 are circumferentially limited, and the push rod 18 can move axially relative to the radial wheel 5, and the radial wheel 5 can rotate unidirectionally in a second direction relative to the housing 10; the clutch 6 and the radial wheel 5 are always circumferentially limited; the power elastic member 8 has a preset torsional preload and is installed between the sleeve 17 and the pen housing 10, so that the sleeve 17 always has a tendency to rotate in the second direction relative to the pen housing 10.

[0117] It can be understood that, in the process that the knob 11 drives the driving rod 19 to move in the second direction and in the first direction, the button 21 is not pressed. At this time, the clutch 6 is in the first position state, and the clutch 6 is combined with the pen housing 10. Under the limitation of the pen housing 10, the clutch 6 cannot rotate with the driving rod 19, and the clutch 6 and the radial wheel 5 are always circumferentially limited, and the two rotate or stop synchronously, and the radial wheel 5 is circumferentially limited with the push rod 18. Therefore, when the clutch 6 is combined with the pen housing 10, the push rod 18 cannot rotate. Since the push rod 18 is threadedly connected to the housing 10, the push rod 18 rotates and moves axially when it moves. Therefore, when the push rod 18 cannot rotate, the axial position of the push rod 18 is also limited and cannot move. That is, in the process of setting the dose adjustment, whether the set dose is increased or decreased, the push rod 18 will not produce any axial displacement, so no injection activity will occur.

[0118] In addition, during injection, press button 21 (such as Fig.13 As shown), the driving rod 19 drives the clutch 6, the sleeve 17 and the claw device 7 to move axially toward the injection end synchronously, please refer to Fig.14 , so that the clutch 6 moves to the second position state, so that the clutch 6 is separated from the pen housing 10, and the circumferential limiting effect of the pen housing 10 on the clutch 6 is released. At this time, under the action of the power elastic member 8, as shown in Fig.15 As shown, the sleeve 17 rotates in the first direction, the sleeve 17 drives the clutch 6 to rotate synchronously, the clutch 6 drives the radial wheel 5 to rotate synchronously relative to the pen housing 10 in the first direction, and then the radial wheel 5 drives the push rod 18 to rotate synchronously. Since the push rod 18 is threadedly connected to the pen housing 10, the push rod 18 rotates while making axial movement toward the injection end, generating axial displacement, thereby realizing the injection process (such as Fig.16 In this process, the sleeve 17 drives the dose indicator 9 to rotate synchronously, so that the dose indicator 9 performs a spiral motion relative to the pen housing 10, that is, the dose indicator 9 rotates in the first direction while performing an axial motion.

[0119] In order to facilitate the limitation of the movement of the dose indicator 9 toward the injection end, in some embodiments, the pen housing 10 is provided with a limiting portion 102 for contacting with the dose indicator 9 to stop the dose indicator 9 from moving toward the injection end. That is, when the dose indicator 9 rotates in the first direction while making axial movement, the dose indicator 9 is axially displaced in the direction close to the limiting portion 102 until the dose indicator 9 contacts the limiting portion 102 of the pen housing 10. Under the limitation of the limiting portion 102, the dose indicator 9 stops rotating, so that the sleeve 17 and the push rod 18 both stop rotating, and the injection is completed, indicating that the set dose of injection liquid has been injected. It can be understood that in this process, the sleeve 17 will drive the pawl 7 to rotate in the first direction together, so that the drive rod 19 rotates in the first direction synchronously, and at this time the drive rod 19 is separated from the knob 11 to prevent the knob 11 from affecting the rotation of the drive rod 19. It can be seen that in this embodiment, when the push rod 18 is moved axially for injection, the limit of the dose indicator 9 and the pen housing 10 is used to determine the completion of a single injection, and when the set dose is adjusted by adjusting the axial position of the dose indicator 9, the axial position of the push rod 18 remains unchanged. Therefore, multiple injections can be achieved by adjusting the dose indicator 9 multiple times, thereby achieving multi-dose injection.

[0120] Also, please refer to Fig.16In order to limit the final dose of the last injection of the syringe, in some embodiments, the adjustable dose automatic injection pen also includes a limiter 16, which is threadedly connected to the push rod 18, and the limiter 16 and the drive rod 19 are circumferentially limited so that the two can rotate synchronously, and the limiter 16 can move axially along the drive rod 19. When the drive rod 19 rotates along the first direction, the limiter 16 is rotated and moved along the push rod 18 away from the injection direction, so that the axial position of the limiter 16 relative to the push rod 18 has a corresponding relationship with the set dose of each injection of the dose indicator 9. When the limiter 16 rotates and moves to the end of the thread of the push rod 18, the dose indicator 9 reaches the total dose setting position of the final dose injection. That is to say, when the push rod 18 is fixed, the limiter 16 will rotate synchronously with the rotation of the drive rod 19, that is, in the process of adjusting the dose, the limiter 16 will make axial movement on the push rod 18. When the dose is increased, the limiter 16 moves away from the injection end, and when the dose is reduced, the limiter 16 moves toward the injection end. In this embodiment, the distal position of the stopper 16 is used to limit the total set dose of the final dose injection of the syringe. It can be understood that when the drive rod 19 is rotated in the first direction to increase the set dose, the stopper 16 rotates relative to the push rod 18 and moves toward the distal end of the push rod 18. When a single injection is completed, the stopper 16 will stay at the position corresponding to the dose adjusted last for the injection, that is, at the relative axial position of the push rod 18; when the syringe is almost finished, when the last dose of the injection is adjusted, the stopper 16 will reach the end of the thread distally. When the stopper 16 reaches the end of the thread distally of the push rod 18, the stopper 16 cannot continue to rotate. Since the stopper 16 and the drive rod 19 are circumferentially limited, the drive rod 19 cannot continue to rotate in the first direction, thereby limiting the distal position of the dose indicator 9, that is, limiting the maximum dose of the dose indicator 9. In addition, it can be understood that when the button 21 is pressed, the push rod 18 rotates and moves axially toward the proximal end for injection, and the stopper 16 moves synchronously with the push rod 18. In addition, the proximal position of the stopper 16 is limited by the radial wheel 5, that is, when the injection is completed, the push rod 18 moves to the proximal position and stops advancing. At this time, the stopper 16 abuts against the radial wheel 5 to play a limiting role.

[0121] Please refer to Fig.19 , Fig. 20 and Fig.21In some embodiments, the inner circumferential surface of the stopper 16 is provided with a first internal thread 162 for threaded connection with the first external thread of the push rod 18, so that the stopper 16 must simultaneously perform circumferential rotation when performing axial movement on the push rod 18, so that the stopper 16 can perform axial movement on the push rod 18 along with the rotation of the drive rod 19. In other embodiments, the outer side of the stopper 16 is provided with an arrow rib 161 symmetrical about the axis of the stopper 16, and the inner side of the drive rod 19 is provided with a symmetrical inner long groove 198 extending along its axial direction, and the arrow rib 161 and the inner long groove 198 are slidably matched. That is, in this embodiment, through the sliding match between the arrow rib 161 and the inner long groove 198, the stopper 16 is limited to be axially movable relative to the drive rod 19, and can be synchronously rotated with the drive rod 19, and the structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0122] When adjusting the set dose, in order to facilitate the user to observe the set dose at any time, please refer to Fig.17 In some embodiments, the dose indicator 9 is provided with a digital printing part 91, and the pen housing 10 is provided with an observation window 104, and the observation window 104 is used to observe the dose value of the part where the digital printing part 91 is aligned with the observation window 104. That is, when adjusting the set dose, the dose indicator 9 rotates so that different parts of the digital printing part 91 are aligned with the observation window 104, and the dose value aligned with the observation window 104 is observed through the observation window 104 to determine whether the required set dose is reached. When the required set dose is reached, the knob 11 can be stopped from rotating in time. It should be noted that the observation window 104 can be a naked clearance through hole, or a transparent member provided at the clearance through hole.

[0123] It should be noted that, in the initial state, the 0 scale of the dose indicator 9 is aligned with the observation window 104 (eg Fig.17 As shown), at this time, the dose indicator 9 abuts against the limiting portion 102 of the pen housing 10 (as shown Fig.18 As shown); when the injection dose is set by rotating the knob 11, the dose indicator 9 rotates away from the limiting portion 102 of the pen housing 10 until the required injection dose is reached. At this time, the set dose scale is aligned with the observation window 104, the knob 11 is stopped from being rotated, and then the button 21 is pressed to inject. When the injection is completed, the dose indicator 9 abuts against the limiting portion 102 of the pen housing 10. At this time, the 0 scale of the dose indicator 9 is aligned with the observation window 104.

[0124] Please refer to Fig. 22 and Fig.23 In order to more intuitively remind the user that the injection is completed, in some embodiments, the dose indicator 9 is provided with a limit groove 92, and the sleeve 17 is provided with a convex spring piece 172, which is used to bounce into the limit groove 92 after the dose indicator 9 abuts against the limit portion 102 (please refer to Fig.18), to produce a collision sound, indicating that the injection is completed. That is to say, when each injection is completed, the dose indicator 9 will move to the position where the proximal end abuts against the limiting portion 102 of the pen housing 10. At this time, the convex spring piece 172 of the sleeve 17 will bounce into the limiting groove 92, thereby issuing a prompt sound of injection completion, giving the user the most direct injection completion response, which is convenient for the user to confirm that the injection is completed. The structure is simple and does not require excessive size control and complex product appearance to achieve.

[0125] In addition, please continue to refer to Fig.23 In order to realize the connection between the dose indicator 9 and the sleeve 17, in some embodiments, one of the outer side of the sleeve 17 and the inner side of the dose indicator 9 is provided with a second limiting rib 93 extending in the axial direction, and the other is provided with a second limiting guide groove 173 for slidingly cooperating with the second limiting rib 93. That is to say, in this embodiment, the sleeve 17 and the dose indicator 9 are limited in the circumferential direction by the cooperation and limitation of the second limiting rib 93 and the second limiting guide groove 173, so that the dose indicator 9 and the sleeve 17 can rotate synchronously. At the same time, through the sliding cooperation of the second limiting rib 93 and the second limiting guide groove 173, the dose indicator 9 can make axial movement relative to the sleeve 17 during the synchronous rotation process with the sleeve 17.

[0126] Also, please refer to Fig.24 In order to achieve the connection between the dose indicator 9 and the pen housing 10, in some embodiments, the interior of the pen housing 10 is provided with a second internal thread 103, and the outer periphery of the dose indicator 9 is provided with a second external thread 94 for threaded connection with the second internal thread 103, so that the dose indicator 9 can move axially and rotate circumferentially at a specific pitch in the pen housing 10.

[0127] It should be noted that the above embodiment does not limit the specific connection method between the drive rod 19 and the clutch 6, sleeve 17 and the pawl device 7, as long as the connection between the drive rod 19 and the clutch 6, sleeve 17 and the pawl device 7 can meet the corresponding connection requirements.

[0128] Please combine Figure 25 to Figure 29In some embodiments, the proximal end of the driving rod 19 is provided with at least two end clamps 191 distributed along the same circumference, the outer periphery of the end clamps 191 is provided with a first protrusion 192 and a second protrusion 193 arranged at intervals along the axial direction, and the outer periphery of the driving rod 19 is also provided with a third protrusion 194 arranged at intervals along the axial direction with the second protrusion 193; the clutch 6 is provided with a radially inwardly convex inner flange 64, the inner flange 64 and the spring piece 171 of the sleeve 17 are respectively arranged in the gap between the first protrusion 192 and the second protrusion 193, so that the clutch 6, the sleeve 17 and the driving rod 19 are axially limited and connected; the pawl device 7 is stuck in the gap between the second protrusion 193 and the third protrusion 194, and one of the pawl device 7 and the driving rod 19 is provided with a first limiting notch 72, and the other is provided with a first limiting rib 195 that cooperates with the first limiting notch 72 for limiting. That is to say, in this embodiment, the clutch 6, the sleeve 17 and the driving rod 19 are connected together by the end clamp 191 cooperating with the first protrusion 192 and the second protrusion 193, so that the axial positions of the clutch 6, the sleeve 17 and the driving rod 19 are relatively fixed, and the clutch 6 and the sleeve 17 can respectively rotate circumferentially relative to the driving rod 19. In addition, the second protrusion 193 and the third protrusion 194 are used to realize the axial fixation of the pawl device 7 and the driving rod 19, and the circumferential fixation of the pawl device 7 and the driving rod 19 is realized by the cooperation of the first limiting rib 195 and the first limiting notch 72, so that the pawl device 7 and the driving rod 19 are completely fixed, so that the pawl device 7 can rotate with the driving rod 19.

[0129] For further information, please refer to Fig.30 and Fig.31 In some embodiments, the clutch 6 is provided with a first inner unidirectional tooth 63 for cooperating with the spring sheet 171 of the sleeve 17, and the pawl device 7 is provided with a pawl side wall 71 located outside the spring sheet 171, and the wall thickness of the pawl side wall 71 gradually increases from one side to the other side along the circumferential direction, so that when the pawl device 7 rotates along the second direction with the driving rod 19, the pawl side wall 71 squeezes the spring sheet 171 to retract the spring sheet 171. That is to say, in this embodiment, when the spring sheet 171 is extended outward, the spring sheet 171 cooperates with the first inner unidirectional tooth 63, so that the sleeve 17 and the clutch 6 can rotate synchronously in the circumferential direction. In addition, by utilizing the thickness change of the pawl side wall 71, when the pawl device 7 rotates along the second direction with the driving rod 19, the pawl side wall 71 gradually squeezes the spring sheet 171 to retract it, and when the spring sheet 171 retracts, the spring sheet 171 is separated from the first inner unidirectional tooth 63, so that the rotation of the sleeve 17 is not restricted by the clutch 6.

[0130] For further information, please refer to Fig.33Considering the convenience of assembly, in some embodiments, the pawl device 9 and the driving rod 5 are integrally processed and formed. That is to say, in this embodiment, the structure of the pawl device 9 is integrated on the driving rod 5, so that the pawl device 9 and the driving rod 5 are combined into an integrated structure. In this way, during assembly, the pawl device 9 and the driving rod 5 can be avoided, the assembly steps are reduced, the assembly process is simplified, the injection device is convenient to assemble, and the assembly efficiency is improved.

[0131] Of course, if Fig.25 , Fig. 27 , Figure 29-31 As shown, the specific connection structure when the clamping claw device 9 and the driving rod 5 are of a split structure is given.

[0132] In addition, the above embodiments do not limit the specific connection method between the knob 11 and the driving rod 19. Fig.33 In some embodiments, one of the outer peripheral portion of the distal end of the drive rod 19 and the knob 11 is provided with a protruding tooth 196, and the other is provided with a tooth groove 111. When the button 21 is not pressed, the protruding tooth 196 cooperates with the tooth groove 111, and when the button 21 is pressed, the protruding tooth 196 is disengaged from the tooth groove 111. It can be understood that when the drive rod 19 is at the distal position, the button 21 is not pressed, and the protruding tooth 196 cooperates with the tooth groove 111, so that the drive rod 19 and the knob 11 are engaged, so that the drive rod 19 and the knob 11 can rotate synchronously, that is, when the knob 11 is turned, the drive rod 19 can be driven to rotate, so that the dose can be adjusted. When the button 21 is pressed to move the drive rod 19 from the distal position to the proximal position, the protruding tooth 196 disengages from the tooth groove 111, so that the drive rod 19 and the knob 11 can rotate relative to each other, so that the knob 11 does not rotate synchronously when the drive rod 19 rotates.

[0133] In addition, considering the specific arrangement of the knob 11 on the pen housing 10, please refer to Fig.34 In some embodiments, one of the knob 11 and the pen housing 10 is provided with an annular groove 112, and the other is provided with an annular flange 105 for slidingly cooperating with the annular groove 112. That is, the axial position of the knob 11 and the pen housing 10 is limited by the cooperation between the annular flange 105 and the annular groove 112, and the knob 11 can rotate freely on the pen housing 10 by making the annular flange 105 and the annular groove 112 relatively slidable.

[0134] In addition, the above embodiments do not limit the specific connection method between the button 21 and the driving rod 19. Fig.35In some embodiments, a fourth protrusion 197 is provided on the inner side of the distal end of the driving rod 19, and an end convex circle 211 is provided on the proximal end of the button 21. The end convex circle 211 is used to be inserted into the distal end of the driving rod 19 so that the side of the end convex circle 211 facing the distal end and the side of the fourth protrusion 197 facing the proximal end can abut and limit. In other words, in this embodiment, the side of the end convex circle 211 facing the distal end and the side of the fourth protrusion 197 facing the proximal end of the driving rod 19 are abutted and limited to limit the axial position of the button 21 and prevent the button 21 from detaching from the driving rod 19.

[0135] For further information, please refer to Fig.35 In some embodiments, a return spring 12 is provided between the button 21 and the knob 11. The return spring 12 is used to provide elastic force to the button 21 to move toward the distal end so as to reset the button 21. That is, when the button 21 is not pressed, the button 21 maintains its distal position under the action of the return spring 12. When the button 21 is pressed, the return spring 12 is squeezed. When the button 21 is released, the elastic force of the return spring 12 causes the button 21 to return to the distal position. In this process, the button 21 drives the driving rod 19 to engage with the knob 11.

[0136] Also, please refer to Figures 36 to 42 In order to facilitate the threaded connection between the push rod 18 and the pen housing 10 and the unidirectional rotation of the radial wheel 5 relative to the pen housing 10, in some embodiments, the injection assembly further includes a cam 15 connected to the pen housing 10; the outer periphery of the push rod 18 is provided with two rows of axially distributed helical teeth 181 to form a discontinuous first external thread, and the cam 15 is provided with a third internal thread 154 for engaging with the first external thread, so that when the push rod 18 rotates in the second direction, it moves axially toward the proximal end under the limit of the cam 15. Further, in some embodiments, a first limiting guide groove 182 extending in the axial direction is provided between the two rows of helical teeth 181, and the radial wheel 5 is provided with a radial inner protrusion 51 for slidingly cooperating with the first limiting guide groove 182. That is, this embodiment utilizes the cooperation of the radial inner protrusion 51 and the first limiting guide groove 182 to achieve the circumferential limit of the radial wheel 5 and the push rod 18, so that the radial wheel 5 can rotate synchronously with the push rod 18, and at the same time, the radial wheel 5 can move axially relative to the push rod 18. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the radial wheel 5 is provided with an elastic arm 53, and the cam 15 is provided with a second inner one-way tooth 151. The elastic arm 53 cooperates with the second inner one-way tooth 151 to allow the radial wheel 5 to rotate relative to the cam 15 along the second direction. When the radial wheel 5 rotates relative to the cam 15, a continuous intermittent sound will be emitted, which can indicate that an injection is being made. When the radial wheel 5 stops rotating, the continuous intermittent sound will end, which means that the injection has stopped. Therefore, this can also indicate whether the injection is completed.

[0137] Further, in some embodiments, the cam 15 is provided with a stop limiter 102, which is located at the proximal side of the second inner unidirectional tooth 151, and is used to axially limit the proximal end of the radial wheel 5. Further, in some embodiments, one of the radial wheel 5 and the clutch 6 is provided with a first internal spline 61, and the other is provided with a first external spline 52 for slidingly cooperating with the first internal spline 61, so that the clutch 6 can move axially relative to the radial wheel 5, and the radial wheel 5 and the clutch 6 always have circumferential limit. That is, the radial wheel 5 and the clutch 6 can slide relative to each other in the axial direction, but the two are never separated, so that the radial wheel 5 and the clutch 6 can always keep synchronous rotation or synchronous stop.

[0138] In addition, in order to realize the connection between the cam 15 and the pen housing 10, please refer to Fig.41 and Fig.43 In some embodiments, the cam 15 is provided with a second hook 153, and the pen housing 10 is provided with a first slot 101 for engaging with the second hook 153, so that the cam 15 and the pen housing 10 are completely fixed. That is, this embodiment utilizes the cooperation between the second hook 153 and the first slot 101 to simultaneously achieve axial and circumferential positioning of the cam 15 and the pen housing 10.

[0139] In addition, in order to facilitate the axial positioning of the clutch 6 and the dose indicator 9, please refer to Fig.44 In some embodiments, the limiting portion 102 of the pen housing 10 is an inner edge annular tooth disposed on the inner side wall of the pen housing 10 and distributed in the circumferential direction, and the distal end of the inner edge annular tooth is used to stop and limit the dose indicator 9; the inner edge annular tooth is also used to cooperate with the second external spline 62 disposed on the outer periphery of the clutch 6 to limit the circumferential movement of the clutch 6 when the clutch 6 moves to the distal position, and the second external spline 62 is disengaged from the inner edge annular tooth when the clutch 6 moves to the proximal position. In other words, the limiting portion 102 in this embodiment not only plays the role of axially limiting the proximal position of the dose indicator 9, but also plays the role of axially limiting the distal position of the clutch 6. That is, during injection, when the proximal end of the dose indicator 9 abuts against the distal end of the inner edge annular tooth, the injection is completed. In addition, when the clutch 6 is located at the distal position, the circumferential limitation of the clutch 6 and the pen housing 10 is achieved through the cooperation between the inner edge annular teeth and the second external splines 62, so that the clutch 6 cannot rotate under the limitation of the pen housing 10. When the inner edge annular teeth are disengaged from the second external splines 62, the circumferential limitation between the clutch 6 and the pen housing 10 is released, so that the clutch 6 can rotate relative to the pen housing 10.

[0140] In addition, to facilitate the installation of cartridge 2, please refer to Figure 45 to Figure 47In some embodiments, the proximal end of the pen housing 10 is connected to a cartridge holder 14, the cartridge holder 14 is used for loading the cartridge bottle 2 from its distal end, the proximal end of the cartridge holder 14 is used for connecting the needle 1, the distal end of the cartridge holder 14 is provided with a raised rib 143 and a second slot 144, the pen housing 10 is provided with a third limiting notch 108 for cooperating with the raised rib 143, and the cam 15 is provided with a first hook 152 (such as Fig.37 As shown). During assembly, the cartridge bottle 2 is first loaded into the refill frame 14 from the distal end of the refill frame 14, and then the protruding rib 143 of the refill frame 14 is aligned with the third limiting notch 108 to make the refill frame 14 and the pen body move relative to each other in the axial direction to achieve assembly, that is, the protruding rib 143 is inserted into the third limiting notch 108. During this process, the first hook 152 is inserted into the second slot 144 to achieve the fixation of the refill frame 14 and the cam 15, thereby achieving the fixation of the refill frame 14 and the pen body.
