Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical machinery, and in particular to a countable container assembly and a spraying device. Background Art

[0002] As a drug delivery device, the user's requirements for the function of the spray device are increasing. At present, some spray devices on the market have a counting function, and when the number of times the spray device is used reaches a preset value, the container is locked, so that the spray device can no longer be used.

[0003] For example, patent CN111821546A discloses a sprayer, an indicator device and a container. The container is a double-layer structure, the inner layer of which is a soft film bag. When the delivery tube draws liquid from the container, there is no reflux gas. As the number of uses increases, the soft film bag has a certain tension to resist the extraction of liquid, which can easily lead to inaccurate measurement. Therefore, in order to accurately measure, sufficient liquid must be reserved in the container to minimize the wrinkles of the soft film bag, and the number of uses must be limited to ensure that there is still sufficient surplus in the container.

[0004] In CN111821546A, counting is performed by the indicator assembly. When pressurizing, the outer shell is rotated, and the outer shell drives the internal part to rotate, and the internal part drives the connecting part to rotate together with the container. Since the connecting part cooperates with the inclined surface of the upper shell part, the connecting part moves axially downward together with the container. When reaching the lower limit position, the blocking assembly moves between the connecting part and the upper shell part, blocking the connecting part from resetting, and completing pressurization. When spraying, the button is pressed, and the blocking assembly moves away from between the connecting part and the upper shell part. Under the resetting elastic force of the driving spring, the connecting part and the container are reset, and the spraying is completed. During the pressurization process, the container moves downward together with the indicator assembly, and the driving part of the outer shell is inserted into the indicator assembly; during the spraying process, the container moves upward together with the indicator assembly, and the driving part of the outer shell withdraws from the indicator assembly. At this time, the actuating part of the actuating assembly pushes the gear of the transmission device to rotate one tooth pitch, and the counting process is completed. The counting process occurs in the spraying stage. When the number of times the sprayer is used reaches a preset value, the outer shell is rotated, and the container moves downward together with the indicator assembly until the driving portion of the outer shell is blocked by the blocking portion blocking the opening at the bottom of the indicator assembly. The connecting piece and the container cannot continue to move downward, and pressurization cannot continue, thereby locking the container. At this time, the outer shell continues to be rotated, and the driving portion and the blocking portion of the outer shell are squeezed against each other, and the driving portion of the outer shell may be damaged, causing the spray device to be scrapped. Summary of the invention

[0005] Based on the above-mentioned defects in the prior art, an object of the present invention is to provide a countable container assembly, in which the locking structure prevents the length of the container assembly from changing, so that the length of the container assembly cannot be reduced to a first length L1, thereby locking the container; and the locking structure does not act on the shell of the injection body, thereby avoiding damage to the shell of the injection body.

[0064] In order to make the technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present invention more clearly understood, the following is a detailed description by listing specific embodiments. Unless otherwise defined, the technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as those in the technical field to which this application belongs.

[0066] In the present invention, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for the purpose of clear description and cannot be understood as the relative importance of the indicated features or the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" can explicitly include at least one of the features. In the description of the present invention, "multiple" means at least two; "several" means at least one, unless otherwise clearly defined.

[0067] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, the terms "install", "connect", "connect", "fix", "set", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral molding; 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 the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0068] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, a first feature being “on”, “above”, “above”, “below”, “below”, “below” or “below” a second feature may mean that the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, or the first feature and the second feature are in indirect contact with each other through an intermediate medium.

[0069] The "upper" and "lower" mentioned in the present invention are Figure 4 The markings in shall prevail.

[0070] According to the following Figures 1 to 16 The injection device of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0071] In this embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown, the spraying device 100 includes a container assembly and a spraying body 4, and the container assembly includes a container 1, a counting mechanism 2 and a locking structure 3. The container 1 is used to contain liquid; the counting mechanism 2 is used to count, and the counting mechanism 2 includes an actuating member 21 and a counting assembly 22. The container 1 is connected to the counting assembly 22, and the counting assembly 22 is located between the container 1 and the actuating member 21. The actuating member 21 can move axially relative to the counting assembly 22, and counting is performed by actuating the counting assembly 22. The spraying body 4 includes a conveying pipe 41, a pump assembly 45, a first outer shell 43 and a storage chamber. The conveying pipe 41 is used to suck liquid from the container 1 and transport it to the storage chamber, and the liquid in the storage chamber is then sprayed through the pump assembly 45.

[0072] In this embodiment, if Figure 1As shown, when the container 1 is in the initial position, the container assembly has a first length L1. Under external force, the container 1 can drive the counting mechanism 2 to move axially. When the counting mechanism 2 moves to the point where the actuating member 21 abuts against the first outer shell 43, the container 1 drives the counting assembly 22 to continue to move axially. The actuating member 21 is pressed into the counting assembly 22 by the first outer shell 43 of the injection device 100. The actuating member 21 actuates the counting assembly 22 to start counting. At this time, the length of the container assembly is gradually decreasing. When the container 1 moves to the first extreme position, the injection device 100 can be triggered to work, and the actuating member 21 is inserted into the target position in the counting assembly 22 and stops inserting, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the container assembly has a second length L2, and the second length L2 is less than the first length L1. When the container 1 is reset, it can drive the counting assembly 22 to move in the opposite direction in the axial direction and reset, and the actuating member 21 moves away from the counting assembly 22 and resets. At this time, the container assembly has the first length L1.

[0073] When the counted times reaches a preset value, the locking structure 3 is configured to prevent the length of the container assembly from changing, so that the container 1 cannot move to the first limit position, thereby locking the container 1 .

[0074] By adopting the above solution, the container assembly can cooperate with the triggering work of the injection device 100 and the counting work of the counting mechanism 2 by changing its own length, and the locking structure 3 prevents the length of the container assembly from changing, so that the length of the container assembly cannot be reduced to the first length L1, thereby locking the container 1. The container 1 needs to be replaced to ensure the accuracy of the dosage of each injection.

[0075] It should be understood that, for the convenience of the user, when replacing the container 1, the counting mechanism 2 is replaced together. Of course, it is also possible to only replace the container 1 and re-enable the counting mechanism 2 by resetting the counting mechanism 2.

[0076] In one embodiment, when the locking structure 3 is locked, the container assembly has a first length L1 , that is, the container assembly is locked in an initial state.

[0077] In one embodiment, when the container 1 moves from the initial position to the first extreme position, the transfer tube 41 absorbs liquid from the container 1 and transfers it to the storage chamber. When the container 1 is at the first extreme position, the transfer tube 41 completes the liquid absorption.

[0078] In one embodiment, when the number of counts reaches a preset value, the locking structure 3 is constructed to prevent the actuating member 21 from axially moving relative to the counting assembly 22, that is, when the container 1 drives the counting mechanism 2 to move until the actuating member 21 is resisted by the first outer shell 43, the actuating member 21 cannot be pressed into the counting assembly 22 or the distance by which the actuating member 21 is pressed into the counting assembly 22 is not enough to meet the requirement that the container 1 moves to the first extreme position. In this way, the normal operation of the injection device 100 cannot be triggered.

[0079] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, when the container 1 is in the initial position, one end of the actuating member 21 is inserted into the counting assembly 22 , so that the counting assembly 22 can guide the axial movement of the actuating member 21 .

[0080] Furthermore, if Figure 1 As shown, the locking structure 3 is located inside the counting assembly 22, which is conducive to the compactness of the container assembly. Of course, the setting position of the locking structure 3 is not limited to this, and can also be located outside the counting assembly 22.

[0081] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the container 1 is located above the counting mechanism 2. The container 1 drives the counting mechanism 2 to move downward under external force to trigger the conveying tube 41 to absorb liquid; the container 1 drives the counting mechanism 2 to reset upward to trigger the spray body 4 to discharge liquid. When completing one liquid absorption and liquid discharge, the counting mechanism 2 triggers one count by moving.

[0082] In one embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown, the spray body 4 includes a connecting member 42 and a first outer shell 43, and the delivery tube 41 and the container 1 are respectively connected to the connecting member 42. When the first outer shell 43 is rotated by an external force (such as manual rotation), the rotational force of the first outer shell 43 can be transmitted to the connecting member 42, and the connecting member 42 can drive the delivery tube 41 and the container 1 to move axially.

[0083] In a specific embodiment, Figure 4As shown, the spray body 4 includes a delivery pipe 41, a connecting member 42, a first outer shell 43, an inner shell 44, a pump assembly 45, a return spring 46, a button 47, a second outer shell 48 and a blocking ring 49. The second outer shell 48 is located above the first outer shell 43. The first outer shell 43 and the second outer shell 48 together constitute the outer shell structure of the spray body 4. The pump assembly 45 is fixed in the second outer shell 48, the nozzle of the pump assembly 45 is arranged on the second outer shell 48, the return spring 46 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the container 1 and abuts against one end of the connecting member 42 facing the container 1. The inner shell 44 is clamped to the first outer shell 43 and can at least partially rotate relative to the second outer shell 48. The connecting member 42 is clamped to the inner shell 44 axially movable, and the blocking ring 49 is connected to the second outer shell 48. The inner wall of the second outer shell 48 is provided with a first guide slope (not shown in the figure), and the connecting member 42 is provided with a second guide slope (not shown in the figure).

[0084] When the suction is triggered, the first outer shell 43 is rotated, and the first outer shell 43 drives the inner shell 44 to rotate. Under the cooperation of the first guide slope and the second guide slope, the rotation of the inner shell 44 can drive the connecting member 42 to rotate and move downward, and the return spring 46 is compressed. Figure 4 As shown, until the connecting member 42 drives the container 1 and the counting mechanism 2 to move to the first extreme position, the second guide slope is separated from the first guide slope, and the blocking ring 49 moves to between the second outer shell 48 and the connecting member 42 to prevent the connecting member 42 from resetting under the rebound force of the reset spring 46. At this time, the injection device 100 is in a liquid suction completion state.

[0085] When the spray is triggered, the button 47 needs to be pressed to move the blocking ring 49 away from between the second outer shell 48 and the connecting member 42. At this time, under the rebound force of the return spring 46, the Figure 3 As shown, the connecting member 42 drives the container 1 and the counting mechanism 2 to reset to the second extreme position (initial position), thereby achieving spraying, and the spraying device 100 returns to the initial state.

[0086] It should be understood that if the user removes the force during the process of rotating the first outer shell 43, at this time, if the second guide bevel is still in a state of matching with the first guide bevel, after the external force is removed, the connecting member 42 will drive the container 1 and the counting mechanism 2 to reset under the rebound force of the reset spring 46.

[0087] It should be understood that the first limit position and the second limit position are relative, indicating two stop positions of the container 1 during the reciprocating motion, and the second limit position is the same as the initial position.

[0088] It should be understood that the internal structure and operating principle of the injection body 4 may refer to any existing structure that can achieve the above functions.

[0089] Furthermore, if Figure 3 As shown, the first outer shell 43 is provided with a puncture structure 431, the counting mechanism 2 is provided with a yield channel 23, and the container 1 is an inner and outer two-layer structure. The puncture structure 431 is used to puncture the outer structure of the container 1 when the injection device 100 is used for the first time to form an air vent on the container 1. The air vent is used to perform pressure compensation when the conveying tube 41 sucks liquid from the inner structure of the container 1.

[0090] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the first outer shell 43 of the spray body 4 surrounds the counting mechanism 2; the actuating member 21 is located on the side of the counting assembly 22 facing away from the container 1, and one end of the actuating member 21 is axially movably connected to the counting assembly 22. The other end of the actuating member 21 can abut against the first outer shell 43, or there can be a gap between the first outer shell 43. Specifically, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the container 1 is located above the counting mechanism 2 as an example for specific description. At this time, the actuating member 21 is located below the counting assembly 22. When the liquid suction is triggered, the container 1 drives the counting mechanism 2 to move downward, and the first outer shell 43 contacts the actuating member 21. Since the inner wall of the first outer shell 43 applies an upward abutting force to the bottom of the actuating member 21, the counting assembly 22 moves downward while the actuating member 21 does not move downward, and the actuating member 21 is pressed into the counting assembly 22 along the axial direction, that is, the relative positions of the two in the axial direction change, and the length of the container assembly gradually decreases, thereby triggering the liquid suction and counting. When the liquid discharge is triggered, the button 47 is pressed, and the container 1 drives the counting assembly 22 to move upward to reset, and the relative positions of the actuating member 21 and the counting assembly 22 in the axial direction change in the opposite direction, and the length of the container assembly gradually increases until the length is restored to the first length L1, and the counting mechanism 2 completes the counting.

[0091] It should be understood that the first outer shell 43 is a transparent member or a partially transparent member or is provided with a window so as to observe the counting result of the counting mechanism 2 .

[0092] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, when the container 1 is in the initial position, there is a gap between the actuating member 21 and the first outer shell 43. When the liquid suction is triggered, the container 1 drives the counting assembly 22 and the actuating member 21 to move downward for a distance. At this time, the length of the container assembly remains unchanged until the actuating member 21 abuts against the first outer shell 43. The container 1 drives the counting assembly 22 to continue to move downward, and the length of the container assembly gradually decreases to the second length L2, triggering the liquid suction. In addition, in this solution, as Figure 3 and Fig.14As shown, when the locking structure 3 is locked, if the user rotates the first outer shell 43 again, due to the existence of the spacing, the container 1 can drive the counting mechanism 2 to make an axial movement of a small distance, but the size of the spacing is limited and is not enough to trigger the completion of the liquid absorption, and the liquid absorption of the spray body 4 cannot be completed. At this time, the second guide slope is still in a state of matching with the first guide slope. After the external force is removed, the connecting member 42 drives the container 1 to reset, and the spray device 100 sprays a small amount of liquid.

[0093] In another embodiment, when the container 1 is in the initial position, the actuating member 21 is in contact with the first outer shell 43 (not shown in the figure). Specifically, taking the container 1 located above the counting mechanism 2 as an example, when the liquid suction is triggered, the container 1 drives the counting assembly 22 to move downward. At this time, the bottom of the actuating member 21 is pressed by the first outer shell 43 and cannot move downward, and the length of the container assembly gradually decreases to the second length L2; when the liquid is triggered, the container 1 drives the counting assembly 22 to move upward, and the actuating member 21 moves upward under its own gravity without moving upward with the counting assembly 22 until the container 1 is reset to the initial position. During the entire reciprocating motion of the container 1, the axial position of the actuating member 21 does not change. When the locking structure 3 is locked, since the actuating member 21 is in contact with the first outer shell 43, the counting mechanism 2 cannot move downward, and then the container 1 cannot move downward, and the conveying tube 41 cannot suck liquid from the container 1 again, so as to achieve locking.

[0094] Furthermore, if Figure 1 As shown, the end of the actuating member 21 facing away from the container 1 is a plane, which is beneficial for uniform force when the actuating member 21 and the first outer shell 43 are in contact.

[0095] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Fig.13 As shown, the counting assembly 22 includes a driving member 221, a rotating member 222, a first spring 223 and a counting member 224. One end of the first spring 223 is connected to one end of the rotating member 222 facing away from the driving member 221, and the other end is in a stopped state. When the container 1 is in the initial position, the rotating member 222 is engaged with the driving member 221 under the pressure of the first spring 223.

[0096] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, a specific description is given by taking the case where the container 1 is located above the counting mechanism 2 and there is a gap between the bottom of the actuating member 21 and the first outer shell 43 in the initial state as an example.

[0097] like Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9As shown, when the suction is triggered, the container 1 drives the counting mechanism 2 to move downward. When the actuating member 21 is abutted by the first outer shell 43, the actuating member 21 stops moving downward, while the counting assembly 22 continues to move downward. The rotating member 222 of the counting assembly 22 moves downward until it abuts against the tooth surface of the actuating member 21. The actuating member 21 pushes the rotating member 222 upward, so that the rotating member 222 disengages from the driving member 221. At this time, under the downward elastic force of the first spring 223, the rotating member 222 engages with the actuating member 21 downward along the tooth surface of the actuating member 21, and the rotating member 222 rotates a first angle.

[0098] like Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, when the liquid is triggered to be discharged, the container 1 drives the counting assembly 22 to move upward, that is, the rotating member 222 of the counting assembly 22 moves upward relative to the actuating member 21 until the rotating member 222 is separated from the actuating member 21. At this time, under the downward elastic force of the first spring 223 and because the driving member 221 moves upward, the driving member 221 pushes the rotating member 222 upward, and the rotating member 222 moves along the tooth surface of the driving member 221 until the two are meshed, and the rotating member 222 rotates a second angle. In this way, during one reciprocating motion of the container 1, the rotating member 222 rotates twice in total, and the rotation angle is the sum of the first angle and the second angle, that is, the rotating member 222 rotates at least one pitch angle of the driving member 221, and the rotating member 222 drives the counting member 224 to move for counting by rotating.

[0099] In the present solution, the counting mechanism 2 has a simple and compact structure. By changing the relative positions of the rotating member 222 and the actuating member 21 in the axial direction, during one reciprocating motion of the container 1, the rotating member 222 can alternately engage with the driving member 221 and the actuating member 21, thereby driving the rotating member 222 to rotate at least one pitch angle of the driving member 221. The mechanical coordination is simple and the rotation angle can be precisely controlled.

[0100] Furthermore, if Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, one of the actuating member 21 and the driving member 221 is disposed around the other, which is beneficial to reducing the overall size of the counting mechanism 2. In a specific embodiment, the driving member 221 is an annular structure, which is disposed around the actuating member 21, and the bottom of the actuating member 21 extends out from below the driving member 221 and abuts against the inner wall of the first outer shell 43.

[0101] In a specific embodiment, Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figures 8 to 10As shown, the actuating member 21 is provided with a gear portion 211; the driving member 221 is provided with a plurality of first protruding teeth 2211, all of which are arranged in sequence along the circumference of the driving member 221, and a tooth groove 2212 is formed between two adjacent first protruding teeth 2211; and the rotating member 222 is provided with a second protruding tooth 2221. Fig. 9 As shown, when the container 1 is in the initial position, the second protruding teeth 2221 are engaged with the tooth grooves 2212, and the second protruding teeth 2221 are at least partially opposite to the gear teeth 211 in the axial direction, so that when the axial position of the rotating member 222 relative to the actuating member 21 changes, the second protruding teeth 2221 can contact the gear teeth 211. It should be understood that the number of the second protruding teeth 2221 can be two, three, four, five or even more, and preferably, all the second protruding teeth 2221 are evenly spaced and arranged along the circumference of the rotating member 222.

[0102] Specifically, the container 1 is located above the counting mechanism 2 as an example for detailed description.

[0103] like Fig. 9 As shown, when the container 1 is in the initial position, the second protruding tooth 2221 is engaged in a tooth groove 2212 .

[0104] like Figure 8 As shown, when the suction is triggered, the rotating member 222 moves downward until the second protruding tooth 2221 abuts against the gear tooth portion 211 of the actuating member 21, and the gear tooth portion 211 pushes the rotating member 222 upward. At the same time, the driving member 221 continues to move downward, and finally, the rotating member 222 disengages from the driving member 221, and then the rotating member 222 engages with the gear tooth portion 211, and the rotating member 222 rotates a first angle.

[0105] When the liquid discharge is triggered, the rotating member 222 moves upward until the second protruding tooth 2221 disengages from the gear portion 211. At this time, under the downward elastic force of the first spring 223, the rotating member 222 tends to move downward, and the second protruding tooth 2221 abuts against the first protruding tooth 2211 of the upward moving driving member 221, and the driving member 221 continues to move upward. Finally, the second protruding tooth 2221 engages with another tooth groove 2212 of the driving member 221, and the rotating member 222 rotates to a second angle.

[0106] Furthermore, if Fig. 9 As shown, when the container 1 is in the initial position, the second convex tooth 2221 is engaged with the tooth groove 2212, and at the same time, the second convex tooth 2221 is against the tooth surface of the gear portion 211, so that when the container 1 moves downward until the actuating member 21 contacts the first outer shell 43, the gear portion 211 of the actuating member 21 can immediately push the rotating member 222 upward, thereby shortening the movement distance of the counting component 22, which is beneficial to the miniaturized design of the counting mechanism 2.

[0107] Furthermore, when the container 1 is in the first extreme position, at this time, the injection device 100 is in a liquid absorption completion state, the second convex tooth 2221 is engaged with the gear portion 211, and at the same time, the second convex tooth 2221 is against the tooth surface of the first convex tooth 2211 (not shown in the figure), so that when the container 1 moves upward to trigger the liquid discharge, the first convex tooth 2211 of the driving member 221 can immediately push the second convex tooth 2221 upward, so that the second convex tooth 2221 is disengaged from the gear portion 211, thereby shortening the movement distance of the counting component 22, which is conducive to the miniaturization design of the counting mechanism 2.

[0108] Furthermore, if Figure 8 As shown, the first protruding tooth 2211 is provided with a first inclined surface 22111 , and the second protruding tooth 2221 is provided with a second inclined surface 22211 . The first inclined surface 22111 and the second inclined surface 22211 match each other so that the second protruding tooth 2221 is meshed with the tooth groove 2212 .

[0109] In one embodiment, if Figure 6 As shown, one end of the actuating member 21 is inserted into the driving member 221 , and a first limit block 212 is provided on the outer wall of the actuating member 21 ; the first limit block 212 is movably engaged with the tooth groove 2212 , and the tooth groove 2212 limits the rotation of the actuating member 21 relative to the rotating member 222 .

[0110] In one embodiment, if Figure 5 and Fig.13 As shown, the driving member 221 is constructed as a bottom shell structure of the counting assembly 22 , which is beneficial to the miniaturized design of the counting mechanism 2 .

[0111] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Fig. 9 As shown, the counting assembly 22 includes a shaft 225, a rotating member 222 is axially movably connected to the shaft 225, and a counting member 224 is connected to the shaft 225. The rotating member 222 drives the shaft 225 to rotate to drive the counting member 224 to move. Of course, the shaft 225 may not be provided, and a counting mark may be directly provided on the rotating member 222 to form a counting member, and the counting member may move axially and rotate during the counting process.

[0112] Furthermore, if Figure 5 and Fig.10As shown, the outer wall of the shaft body 225 is provided with a limiting groove 2251 extending in the axial direction, the rotating member 222 is provided with a first hollow channel 2222, and a second limiting block 2223 is provided in the first hollow channel 2222. The shaft body 225 extends into the first hollow channel 2222, and the second limiting block 2223 is movably engaged with the limiting groove 2251, so that the rotating member 222 can drive the shaft body 225 to rotate together through the cooperation between the second limiting block 2223 and the limiting groove 2251. At the same time, the rotating member 222 can also move along the shaft body 225, so that when the liquid suction is triggered, the rotating member 222 can move axially relative to the driving member 221 and disengage from the driving member 221, and when the liquid discharge is triggered, the rotating member 222 can move axially relative to the actuating member 21 and disengage from the actuating member 21. Of course, the setting positions of the limiting groove and the second limiting block are not limited thereto, and the limiting groove may also be set on the rotating member 222 , and the second limiting block may be set on the shaft body 225 .

[0113] Furthermore, if Figure 5 , Fig.10 and Fig.13 As shown, the first hollow channel 2222 is provided with a first boss 2224, and the outer periphery of the shaft body 225 is provided with a second boss 2252. The first spring 223 is sleeved on the outer axis of the shaft body 225, and the two ends of the first spring 223 are respectively abutted against the first boss 2224 and the second boss 2252. The surface wall of the first hollow channel 2222 can also limit the circumferential movement of the first spring 223.

[0114] In one embodiment, if Figure 5 and Fig.15 As shown, the counting assembly 22 includes a planetary gear set 226. The rotational driving force of the shaft 225 is transmitted to the counting member 224 through the planetary gear set 226. The counting member 224 is driven to rotate by the planetary gear set 226 to achieve counting, thereby increasing the counting capacity.

[0115] Furthermore, if Figure 5 , Fig.11 , Fig.15 and Fig.16 As shown, the counting assembly 22 includes a housing 227 , which is provided with a convex shaft 2271 and an inner gear ring 2272 ; the shaft body 225 is rotatably connected to the outer periphery of the convex shaft 2271 , and the planetary gear 2261 of the planetary gear set 226 is meshed with the inner gear ring 2272 .

[0116] Furthermore, if Figure 5 , Fig.11 , Fig.15 and Fig.16As shown, the planetary gear set 226 includes meshing planetary gears 2261 and sun gears 2262; the counting member 224 is provided with a counting mark 2241 and an eccentric shaft 2242, the sun gear 2262 is coaxially connected to the shaft 225, and the planetary gear 2261 is coaxially connected to the eccentric shaft 2242. When the rotating member 222 rotates, the shaft 225 rotates synchronously, the shaft 225 drives the sun gear 2262 to rotate, and the planetary gear 2261 transmits the rotational force to the eccentric shaft 2242, and finally drives the counting member 224 to rotate, and the user obtains the counting result by observing the changes in the counting mark 2241.

[0117] Furthermore, if Figure 5 As shown, the counting member 224 is provided with a second hollow channel 2244 , the eccentric shaft 2242 is located on a surface of the counting member 224 facing away from the rotating member 222 , the sun gear 2262 is located at one end of the shaft body 225 , and the shaft body 225 extends into the second hollow channel 2244 so that the sun gear 2262 is meshed with the planetary gear 2261 .

[0118] Furthermore, the shaft body 225 and the sun gear 2262 are integrally formed to simplify assembly. Of course, the structural relationship between the two is not limited to this, and they can also be assembled by fastening, welding, clamping or buckling.

[0119] Of course, the counting assembly 22 may not be provided with the planetary gear set 226. For example, the counting member 224 may be driven to rotate directly by the shaft 225 to achieve counting.

[0120] In one embodiment, if Figure 5 , Fig.13 and Fig.15 As shown, the housing 227 is a cover structure, the driving member 221 is used as the bottom shell structure of the counting assembly 22, the housing 227 is connected to the driving member 221, and the two are connected to form a cavity, and the housing 227 is provided with a window 2274, and the window 2274 is used to observe the counting mark 2241. The driving member 221 is an annular structure, and the actuating member 21 is inserted into the annular region of the driving member 221 from the bottom of the driving member 221. The actuating member 21 is provided with an annular groove 213, and the gear portion 211 is located on the end surface of the annular groove 213. The rotating member 222 partially extends into the annular groove 213, and the second protruding tooth 2221 of the rotating member 222 is at least partially opposite to the gear portion 211 in the axial direction.

[0121] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the housing 227 is provided with a snap-fit ​​portion 2273 for snap-fitting the container 1 , so as to facilitate quick assembly of the counting mechanism 2 and the container 1 .

[0122] In one embodiment, the locking structure 3 is configured to axially lock the rotating member 222 when the count times reaches a preset value, so that the counting assembly 22 cannot move axially, thereby limiting the axial movement of the container 1 and preventing the aspiration from being triggered again.

[0123] Furthermore, if Figure 3 As shown, the counting member 224 is a cover structure, the rotating member 222 and the locking structure 3 are both located in the counting member 224, and the rotating member 222 is located between the actuating member 21 and the counting member 224. Take the container 1 located above the counting mechanism 2 as an example for specific explanation, as shown in FIG. Fig.13 and Fig.14 As shown, the locking structure 3 is configured to be stuck between the rotating member 222 and the counting member 224 when the count times reaches a preset value. At this time, the spray body 4 completes the last spraying. Since the first outer shell 43 can press upward against the actuating member 21, the actuating member 21 presses upward against the rotating member 222, and the rotating member 222 presses upward against the counting member 224 through the locking structure 3, the counting assembly 22 cannot move downward. In this way, when the bottom of the actuating member 21 is stopped by the first outer shell 43, the counting mechanism 2 cannot move downward, and thus the liquid aspiration cannot be completed. In addition, the user cannot unlock the disassembled counting mechanism 2, so that the old container 1 cannot be used again, which can improve the safety of the locking.

[0124] Furthermore, if Figure 7 As shown, the locking structure 3 is an elastic structure, which is provided with a first limiting protrusion 31; Fig.12 As shown, the inner wall of the counting member 224 is provided with a second limiting protrusion 2243 which is provided with a clearance notch 22431 .

[0125] When the counted times do not reach the preset value, the first limiting protrusion 31 abuts against the outer wall of the second limiting protrusion 2243 to limit the locking structure 3 from being stuck between the rotating member 222 and the counting member 224. Fig.13 As shown, there is an axial gap between the rotating member 222 and the counting member 224 to allow the rotating member 222 to move axially, so that the counting assembly 22 can move axially relative to the actuating member 21. In this way, the container 1 connected to the counting assembly 22 can also move axially smoothly, and the injection device 100 can be used normally.

[0126] When the counted times reaches the preset value, the clearance notch 22431 moves to be opposite to the first limiting protrusion 31 and gives way, and the first limiting protrusion 31 is separated from the limiting position of the second limiting protrusion 2243. At this time, under the elastic force of the locking structure 3, the first limiting protrusion 31 enters the clearance notch 22431, and the locking structure 3 is clamped between the rotating member 222 and the counting member 224. Fig.14As shown, by locking the rotating member 222 in the axial direction, the counting assembly 22 is locked in the axial direction, and the injection device 100 cannot be used any more.

[0127] Furthermore, if Fig.10 As shown, the end of the rotating member 222 facing the counting member 224 is provided with a third boss 2225. Fig.14 As shown, when the locking structure 3 is inserted between the rotating member 222 and the counting member 224, one surface wall of the locking structure 3 abuts against the second limiting protrusion 2243, and the other surface wall abuts against the third boss 2225, so as to axially lock the rotating member 222. The contact area between the locking structure 3 and the rotating member 222 and the counting member 224 is large, and the locking structure 3 is not easily damaged, so that the user is prevented from forcibly unlocking the lock by damaging the locking structure 3.

[0128] In one embodiment, if Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the locking structure 3 includes a connecting section 32, one end of the connecting section 32 is provided with a hook 321, and the first limiting protrusion 31 is located at the other end of the connecting section 32; Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the driving member 221 is the bottom shell structure of the counting assembly 22 . The driving member 221 is provided with a slot 2213 . The hook 321 is engaged with the slot 2213 to assemble the locking structure 3 on the driving member 221 .

[0129] Furthermore, if Figure 7 As shown, the cross section of the connecting section 32 is in an arc shape with a simple structure. The end surfaces on both sides of the connecting section 32 respectively abut against the second limiting protrusion 2243 and the rotating member 222, so that the force is more stable.

[0130] Furthermore, the locking structure 3 is a metal spring sheet with high structural strength and is not easily damaged.

[0131] It should be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and are not intended to include all possible implementations included in the claims. Various modifications and changes may be made on the basis of the above embodiments without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. Similarly, the various technical features of the above embodiments may be arbitrarily combined to form other embodiments of the present invention that may not be explicitly described. Therefore, the above embodiments only express several implementations of the present invention and do not limit the scope of protection of the patent of the present invention.
