DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The following description provides specific application scenarios and requirements of this specification, with the purpose of enabling those skilled in the art to make and use the contents of this specification.

[0021] In addition, the terms "installed", "set", "provided with", "connected" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral structure; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be an internal connection between two devices, elements or components.

[0022] For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0023] Regarding the drawings of the present application, it should be clearly understood that the drawings are for illustration and description purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present specification. It should also be understood that the drawings are not drawn to scale.

[0024] Traditional insulin injection pens usually include a syringe body and a needle, and the two are connected by a thread. Although this is firm, it requires users to manually disassemble and assemble it, which increases the complexity of operation. In particular, manual handling of the needle after use may pose a safety hazard, and improper disposal may easily cause environmental pollution.

[0025] Based on the above problems, this specification provides an insulin injection pen, including an injection pen body 1 and a needle seat 2. The injection pen body 1 includes a pen body 101, a needle 102 threadedly connected to the front end of the pen body 101, and a protective cover 103 sleeved on the outside of the needle 102. The upper end of the needle 102 is provided with a connecting hole with an internal thread, and usually a tearable protective film 1020 is pasted on the connecting hole. The protective film 1020 is provided with a lug portion for tearing, and the protective cover 103 and the protective film 1020 can prevent the needle 102 from being contaminated.

[0026] Among them, the needle seat 2 includes a base 3, a rotating disk 4, an upper cover 5, a driving mechanism 6 and a replacement mechanism 7. The rotating disk 4 is rotatably set on the base 3, and a plurality of mounting holes 40 are evenly arranged along the circumference thereof, usually set to more than six, so as to store more needles 102. Preferably, the number of mounting holes 40 is 8, so that the overall volume of the needle seat 2 will not be too large, and the space utilization rate is high.

[0027] Secondly, a syringe 8 for placing a needle 102 is rotatably arranged in the mounting hole 40, a first rotation limiting structure 9 is arranged between the needle 102 and the syringe 8, so that the two rotate synchronously, a linkage column 80 is arranged downward at the bottom of the syringe 8, the driving mechanism 6 includes a micro motor 60, a first gear 61 and a second gear 62, a mounting frame 30 is arranged on the base 3, the micro motor 60 is arranged on the mounting frame 30, the first gear 61 is connected to the micro motor 60, and the second gear 62 is rotatably arranged at the bottom of the base 3 and meshes with the first gear 61, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, the micro motor 60 is inverted in the mounting frame 30, and preferably has a micro motor 60 with a speed regulating gear set. In addition, a mounting box 51 is provided on the lower end surface of the upper cover 5, and a circuit board 52, a controller, etc. are provided in the mounting box 51. An operation panel, a display screen, etc. are provided on the upper end surface of the upper cover 5. Two pins extend from one end of the micro motor 60 close to the mounting box 51, extend into the mounting box 51, and are plugged into the circuit board 52.

[0028] Importantly, the replacement mechanism 7 forms a replacement position 10 on the rotation path of the syringe 8. When the rotating disk 4 is rotated, several syringes 8 pass through the replacement position 10 in sequence, that is, the needle 102 can be automatically disassembled and assembled at the replacement position 10. The replacement mechanism 7 includes an upper clamping assembly and a lower clamping assembly arranged at the replacement position 10. The upper clamping assembly includes a first upper clamping block 70 and a second upper clamping block 71. At least one of the first upper clamping block 70 and the second upper clamping block 71 is elastically supported by a first elastic member 72, so that an upper elastic clamping opening for clamping the syringe 8 is formed therebetween. The lower clamping assembly includes a first lower clamping block 73 and a second lower clamping block 74. At least one of the first lower clamping block 73 and the second lower clamping block 74 is elastically supported by a second elastic member 75, so that a lower elastic clamping opening for clamping the linkage column 80 is formed therebetween. The upper cover 5 can be coaxially provided with an opening 500 corresponding to each syringe 8 to facilitate the operation of the pen body 101.

[0029] It can be understood that the syringe 8 can rotate when clamped in the upper elastic clamping mouth, and the lower clamping assembly is arranged on the second gear 62 and rotates synchronously therewith. When the linkage column 80 is clamped in the lower elastic clamping mouth, it rotates synchronously with the second gear 62. With such arrangement, by rotating the rotating disk 4, any syringe 8 can be stopped at the replacement position 10, and then the pen body 101 is aligned with the needle 102 in the syringe 8, and then the driving mechanism 6 drives the second gear 62 to rotate, driving the syringe 8 to rotate, and driving the needle 102 to rotate. At the same time, by controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the micro motor 60, the needle 102 is threadedly connected or disassembled with the pen body 101, thereby realizing the automatic disassembly and assembly of the needle 102, improving the safety of user use, and the used needle 102 can be temporarily stored in the syringe 8 for unified treatment to avoid arbitrary discard and environmental pollution.

[0030] Secondly, needles of different types or specifications can be stored in the syringe 8 , and corresponding markings can be made on the upper cover 5 for easy distinction.

[0031] In addition, by providing the upper elastic clamp and the lower elastic clamp, when the syringe 8 is rotated into the replacement position 10, a gear effect can be formed, so that the user can clearly feel that the syringe 8 has been rotated into place.

[0032] It can be understood that there is a gap between the upper end surface of the syringe 8 and the lower end surface of the upper cover 5 to prevent the protective film 1020 from interfering with the rotation of the rotating disk 4. Since the protective film 1020 is thin, the gap usually only needs to be 0.2mm-0.5mm.

[0033] In some embodiments, the mounting frame 30 is provided with a mounting plate 300 toward the replacement position 10, the first upper clamp block 70 is slidably provided on the mounting plate 300 toward the replacement position 10, the first upper clamp block 70 is provided with the first elastic member 72 at one end away from the second upper clamp block 71, the second upper clamp block 71 is fixed to the base 3, and under the action of the first elastic member 72, the upper elastic clamp is formed between the first upper clamp block 70 and the second upper clamp block 71.

[0034] Secondly, if Figure 7 As shown, a cross-shaped sliding rod portion 7000 and positioning rod portions 7001 located on both sides of the sliding rod portion 7000 are provided at one end of the first upper clamping block 70 close to the mounting plate 300, and a mounting frame is provided on the mounting plate 300, the sliding rod portion 7000 is slidably set in the mounting frame, and the positioning rod portions 7001 are abutted against both sides of the mounting frame. Such a setting effectively controls the moving range of the first upper clamping block 70, improves the stability of the movement of the first upper clamping block 70, and ensures the stability of the installation of the first elastic member 72. A cover plate should be provided on the mounting frame.

[0035] In other embodiments, the first upper clamp block 70 and the second upper clamp block 71 are both provided with a first elastic member 72 on the rear side, or the first elastic member 72 is only provided on the rear side of the second upper clamp block 71, to fix the first upper clamp block 70, but the preferred scheme is the first one, which has a simpler structure and makes the structure of the needle seat 2 more compact.

[0036] In some embodiments, a first active cavity 620 and a second active cavity 621 are provided on the upper end surface of the second gear 62, the first lower clamp block 73 is slidably disposed in the first active cavity 620 toward the linkage column 80, and the second lower clamp block 74 is slidably disposed in the second active cavity 621 toward the linkage column 80, and the rear ends of the first lower clamp block 73 and the second lower clamp block 74 are both provided with the second elastic member 75, and under the action of the second elastic member 75, the lower elastic clamping opening is formed between the first lower clamp block 73 and the second lower clamp block 74.

[0037] It is understandable that Figure 7 As shown, a limiting structure needs to be provided between the first lower clamping block 73 and the first active cavity 620 and between the second lower clamping block 74 and the second active cavity 621 to limit the moving range of the two lower clamping blocks, and the specific structure will not be described in detail.

[0038] In other embodiments, the first lower clamping block 73 and the second lower clamping block 74 can be fixed at any one of them.

[0039] In some embodiments, an upper clamping portion 700 adapted to the outer wall of the syringe 8 is provided on the side where the first upper clamping block 70 and the second upper clamping block 71 are close to each other, and a lower clamping portion 701 adapted to the outer wall of the linkage column 80 is provided on the side where the first lower clamping block 73 and the second lower clamping block 74 are close to each other. The upper elastic clamping opening is provided with a first guide opening 76 at both ends of the rotation path of the syringe 8, and the lower elastic clamping opening is provided with a second guide opening 77 at both ends of the rotation path of the syringe 8. Specifically, arc surfaces and / or inclined surfaces are provided at both ends of the first upper clamping block 70 and the second upper clamping block 71 to form a first guide opening 76, and the same is true for the first lower clamping block 73 and the second lower clamping block 74. With such a configuration, the syringe 8 and the linkage column 80 can be smoothly rotated into or out of the replacement position 10.

[0040] In some embodiments, the two opposite surfaces of the linkage column 80 located in the moving direction of the first upper clamping block 70 are set as planes, and a positioning groove 11 is set on the base 3 along the rotation path of the syringe 8. The positioning groove 11 includes two ports and is respectively located on both sides of the second gear 62. Such a configuration can prevent the syringe 8 from rotating when the rotating disk 4 rotates. It should be understood that it is necessary to set the driving mechanism 6 to rotate an integer number of circles to lock the pen body 101 and the needle head 102 bolts, thereby ensuring that the linkage column 80 is rotated into the lower elastic clamp at the correct position.

[0041] In some embodiments, an arc track 110 extends from the upper portions of the two ports toward the linkage column 80. The arc track 110 is arranged along the rotation path of the linkage column 80 and is offset from the syringe 8. The distance between the end of the arc track 110 and the linkage column 80 is smaller than the diameter of the linkage column 80. This arrangement further ensures that the linkage column 80 is smoothly and correctly rotated into the lower elastic clamp. At the same time, even if the linkage column 80 is slightly deflected, the linkage column 80 can be adjusted.

[0042] In some embodiments, a cover removal mechanism is also included, the cover removal mechanism includes a first cover clamp block 12, a second cover clamp block 13, a lifting member 14 and a partition 15, the outer wall of the protective cover 103 is provided with a positioning protrusion 1030, a mounting cavity 150 is formed between the partition 15 and the bottom of the syringe 8, a channel 800 is provided in the linkage column 80, and a through hole 801 connecting the inner cavity of the syringe 8 and the channel 800 is provided at the bottom of the syringe 8, the lifting member 14 includes an umbrella-shaped portion 140 extending into the inner cavity of the syringe 8 and a rod portion 141 slidably arranged in the channel 800, and the rod portion 141 A limiting ring 142 is provided at the end away from the umbrella-shaped portion 140, and a first spring 16 is provided between the limiting ring 142 and the bottom end surface of the through hole 801. The lower end of the rod portion 141 extends out of the channel 800, and the first cover clamp block 12 and the second cover clamp block 13 are respectively located on both sides of the umbrella-shaped portion 140 and are slidably provided in the installation cavity 150 toward the umbrella-shaped portion 140. Preferably, limiting structures are respectively provided between the first cover clamp block 12 and the second cover clamp block 13 and the partition plate 15 to ensure the moving range and moving direction of the two, which can usually be achieved by using matching positioning protrusions and positioning grooves.

[0043] Secondly, the first cover clamp block 12 and the second cover clamp block 13 both include a clamping portion 120 and a linkage portion 121. The inner wall of the clamping portion 120 is provided with a positioning groove 122 adapted to the positioning protrusion 1030. A second spring 17 is provided between the end of the linkage portion 121 away from the umbrella-shaped portion 140 and the syringe 8, and a conical surface 123 matched with the umbrella-shaped portion 140 is provided at the end thereof close to the umbrella-shaped portion 140. Under the action of the second spring 17, the first cover clamp block 12 and the second cover clamp block 13 clamp the protective cover 103. The base 3 is provided with a movable groove 31, and the rotating disk 4 is arranged to slide up and down along the movable groove 31. A plurality of third springs 18 are arranged between the lower end of the rotating disk 4 and the bottom of the movable groove 31; when the rotating disk 4 is moved downward, the syringe 8 is driven to move downward, so that the lifting member 14 rises, and through the cooperation of the umbrella-shaped portion 140 and the conical surface 123, the first cover clamp block 12 and the second cover clamp block 13 release the clamping of the protective cover 103. With this arrangement, the protective cover 103 can be automatically removed, thereby improving the use efficiency of the insulin injection pen.

[0044] In some embodiments, the cover removal mechanism also includes an isolation ring 19, which is arranged between the rotating disk 4 and the third spring 18. The upper end of the isolation ring 19 is provided with an arc-shaped abutment portion 190. With this arrangement, the rotating disk 4 rotates more smoothly and will not be hindered by the third spring 18. At the same time, the arc-shaped abutment portion 190 helps to reduce direct contact wear during rotation and extend the service life of the component.

[0045] In some embodiments, a first positioning hole 191 is provided at the bottom of the isolation ring 19 corresponding to the third spring 18, and a second positioning hole 310 is provided at the bottom of the movable groove 31 corresponding to the first positioning hole 191, thereby improving the stability of the third spring 18 and improving the simplicity and accuracy of the assembly process.

[0046] In some embodiments, a pen holder 20 for placing the pen body 101 is provided on the upper cover 5 above the replacement position 10, the pen holder 20 is connected to the needle holder 8, and a second rotation limiting structure 21 is provided between the pen body 101 and the pen holder 20, so that it is more convenient to automatically disassemble and assemble the needle 102.

[0047] In some embodiments, the first rotation limiting structure 9 includes a first limiting block 90 arranged on the inner wall of the syringe 8 and a first limiting groove 91 arranged on the outer wall of the needle 102, and the second rotation limiting structure 21 includes a second limiting block 210 arranged on the inner wall of the pen barrel 20 and a second limiting groove 211 arranged on the outer wall of the pen body 101. The number of the first limiting blocks 90 is the same as the number of the second limiting blocks 210, and they are arranged along the same straight line accordingly. In this way, when it is difficult to observe the second limiting block 210 on the inner wall of the syringe 8 at the replacement position 10 due to the setting of the pen barrel 20, it can be located by the second limiting block 210 on the pen barrel 20. Preferably, the number of the first limiting blocks 90 is three and they are evenly arranged on the inner wall of the syringe 8 along the circumferential direction. It can be understood that the first limiting groove 91, the second limiting block 210 and the second limiting groove 211 are all adaptively arranged.

[0048] Preferably, a plurality of vertical convex strips are evenly arranged on the outer circumference of the rotating disk 4 to reduce the difficulty of rotating the rotating disk 4 .

[0049] To sum up, when the user installs the needle 102 for use, first load the needle 102 into each syringe 8. At this time, the protective cover 103 is clamped between the first cover clamp block 12 and the second cover clamp block 13. Then, the protective film 1020 on the needle 102 that needs to be transferred to the replacement position 10 is torn off in advance, and then the rotating disk 4 is rotated to transfer the syringe 8 corresponding to the needle 102 into the upper elastic clamping opening, and at the same time, the linkage column 80 is transferred into the lower elastic clamping opening, and then the pen body 101 is inserted into the pen barrel 20, and then the first gear 61 is driven to rotate by the micro motor 60, and the second gear 62 is driven to rotate, and the syringe 8 is driven to rotate by the linkage column 80, so that the needle 102 rotates to form a threaded connection with the pen body 101. After that, the user takes out the injection pen body 1 for use, and at this time the protective cover 103 has been removed, and there is no need to remove it manually.

[0050] When the user wants to remove the needle 102 after use, he first reinserts the injection pen body 1 into the pen barrel 20 and the syringe 8 , and then reverses the micro motor 60 to remove the needle 102 from the pen body 101 .

[0051] Afterwards, the corresponding needle 102 can be replaced by rotating the rotating disk 4 and repeating the above-mentioned operation.

[0052] When all the needles 102 in the needle seat 2 are used up, the rotating disk 4 can be pushed downward to drive the syringe 8 to move downward, so that the lifting member 14 rises, and through the cooperation of the umbrella-shaped portion 140 and the conical surface 123, the first cover clamp block 12 and the second cover clamp block 13 release the clamping of the protective cover 103, so that all the needles 102 can be poured out.

[0053] It can be understood that in this description, each spring and elastic member is preferably a compression spring.
