Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of insulin injection, and in particular to an automated subcutaneous insulin injection device for endocrinology. Background Technology

[0002] Insulin injection is a core part of daily treatment for diabetic patients. Traditionally, injections are administered subcutaneously using insulin pens or regular syringes, either by the patient themselves or by healthcare professionals in areas rich in subcutaneous fat, such as the abdomen or thighs. However, in certain clinical scenarios, such as when the patient requires assistance or when long-term injections lead to abdominal fat accumulation, the arm becomes an important alternative injection site.

[0003] Currently, the main technical challenges and shortcomings in clinical practice when injecting insulin into the arm are as follows:

[0004] 1. High risks associated with intramuscular injections: Compared to the abdomen and thighs, the subcutaneous fat layer in the arms (especially the deltoid region) is thinner, and its thickness varies from person to person. When using a regular syringe or insulin pen for injection, there is a high risk of inserting the needle too deeply or accidentally injecting it into muscle tissue. Injecting insulin into muscles can lead to excessively rapid absorption, potentially causing drastic fluctuations in blood sugar and severe hypoglycemia, posing significant safety risks.

[0005] 2. Difficulty in Standardizing Skin-Pinching Techniques: To avoid intramuscular injections, current guidelines require pinching the skin during arm injections to increase subcutaneous fat thickness. However, the skin-pinching technique relies entirely on the experience and skill of healthcare professionals, with individual differences in pressure, height, and stability. Pinching too tightly may result in injection into the muscle layer, while pinching too loosely will be ineffective. This uncontrollability directly affects the safety and consistency of injection efficacy.

[0006] 3. Inefficiency and Poor Experience: In a hospital environment, medical staff need to frequently administer injections to multiple patients. Traditional manual injection methods are cumbersome (positioning, disinfection, pinching the skin, inserting the needle, injecting, and withdrawing the needle), resulting in low efficiency. Furthermore, for patients requiring assistance with injections, pinching the skin and administering the injection on the arm is quite inconvenient, and patients are prone to experiencing tension and fear from witnessing the needle piercing the skin.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need in the field for an integrated device specifically designed for clinical settings that can automatically and safely deliver insulin injections to a patient's arm. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The present invention aims to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. Therefore, one object of the present invention is to provide an automated subcutaneous insulin injection device for endocrinology.

[0019] Furthermore, the inner wall of the housing is provided with an annular venting groove, which is connected to all the air extraction holes.

[0026] 1. Integration and Automation

[0027] This device integrates multiple steps, including arm fixation, negative pressure skin pinching, needle puncture, and drug injection, into one device to achieve automated injection. This can significantly reduce the number of steps required by medical personnel, reduce human error, and improve injection efficiency and consistency.

[0028] 2. Innovative negative pressure skin-pinching mechanism

[0029] The protective tube is connected to the air pressure structure through a negative pressure hole at the bottom, simulating the action of manually pinching the skin and automatically lifting the skin folds. This effectively avoids the risk of intramuscular injection caused by the thin subcutaneous fat in the arm. Moreover, negative pressure adsorption is gentler than mechanical clamping, reducing patient discomfort.

[0030] 3. Compact pneumatic actuator system

[0031] The device employs a unified pneumatic structure to drive three core actions: negative pressure adsorption, syringe propulsion (first telescopic component), and drug injection (second telescopic component). This achieves a high degree of integration, simplifies the drive system, and makes it entirely pneumatic, avoiding complex motor and gear transmissions. This reduces the complexity and size of the device, and the pneumatic method makes it easy to achieve smooth and precise linear motion, making it suitable for delicate injection operations.

Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the indicated features.

[0055] Please refer to the attached diagram below. Figures 1-9 An automatic subcutaneous insulin injection device for endocrinology is described according to an embodiment of the present invention. The device includes: a frame 1, an arm fixation module 2, an automatic injection module 3, a drive module 4, and a main control module 5.

[0056] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the arm fixing module 2 includes a support base 21, a fastener 22 and a fixing member 23. The support base 21 can slide and rotate horizontally relative to the frame 1. The support base 21 is used to support the arm. The support base 21 is provided with a fastener 22 and a fixing member 23. The fastener 22 is used to fix the support base 21, and the fixing member 23 is used to fix the arm on the support base 21.

[0057] like Figures 4-9 As shown, the automatic injection module 3 includes a needle 31 and a syringe 32. The needle 31 includes a protective tube 311, a syringe barrel 312, a piston rod 313, and a needle tip 314. The bottom of the protective tube 311 is provided with several negative pressure holes 316. The syringe barrel 312 passes through the protective tube 311 and can move axially along the protective tube 311. The bottom of the syringe barrel 312 is provided with a needle tip 314. The syringe barrel 312 is provided with a piston rod 313 with a piston, which can move axially along the syringe barrel 312. The syringe 32 includes... The housing 321 includes a first pneumatic telescopic member, a second pneumatic telescopic member, and a pneumatic structure disposed on the housing 321. The needle 31 is detachably installed below the housing 321. The pneumatic structure is connected to a negative pressure hole 316 to generate negative pressure in the negative pressure hole 316. The first pneumatic telescopic member is connected to a syringe 312 to drive the syringe 312 to move. The second pneumatic telescopic member is connected to a piston rod 313 to drive the piston rod 313 to move. The first and second pneumatic telescopic members are respectively connected to the pneumatic structure.

[0058] The drive module 4 is mounted on the frame 1 and is connected to the automatic injection module 3 to drive the automatic injection module 3 to move up and down; the automatic injection module 3 and the drive module 4 are respectively connected to the main control module 5.

[0059] Specifically, this device is mainly used for insulin injection in the arm. During use, the patient sits in a chair and places their arm on the support base 21. Medical personnel then use the fixation device 23 to secure the patient's arm to the support base 21. During this process, medical personnel can quickly and flexibly adjust the arm position according to the patient's posture and injection site to ensure optimal injection angle and patient comfort.

[0060] Because the subcutaneous tissue in the arm is thin, insulin can easily be injected into the muscle layer. Therefore, to avoid this situation and ensure that the needle 314 can accurately enter the subcutaneous fat layer (rather than the muscle), this device is also equipped with a related negative pressure structure to achieve the skin pinching operation.

[0061] like Figures 4-7 As shown, the automatic injection module 3 includes a needle 31 and a syringe 32. The needle 31 is a disposable injection needle containing insulin. The needle 31 has a protective tube 311 with a negative pressure hole 316. When the needle 31 is installed on the syringe 32, the negative pressure hole 316 is connected to the air pressure structure of the syringe 32. When the air pressure structure is pumped out, it will generate negative pressure in the negative pressure hole 316.

[0062] Therefore, during injection, the drive module 4 first drives the automatic injection module 3 to move to the arm, so that the negative pressure hole 316 of the protective tube 311 sucks on the skin of the arm. Then, the drive module 4 drives the automatic injection module 3 to rise a certain distance. At this time, the skin of the arm that is sucked on will be lifted to form wrinkles, thereby realizing the skin pinching operation. Then, the first pneumatic telescopic component drives the syringe 312 to move, so that the needle 314 pierces the subcutaneous fat layer. The second pneumatic telescopic component then drives the piston rod 313 to move, completing the insulin injection.

[0063] After the injection is completed, the first and second pneumatic telescopic components are reset, and then the drive module 4 drives the automatic injection module 3 to reset upward. Medical personnel then replace the needle 31 with a new one for the next injection.

[0064] In some implementations, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a support plate 11 is provided on the frame 1, and a strip hole 12 is provided on the support plate 11. Fasteners 22 include bolts and hand-tightening nuts. A bolt is fixed to the bottom of the support base 21, and the bolt passes downward through the strip hole 12 and is threadedly connected to the hand-tightening nut. After loosening the hand-tightening nut, the support plate 11 can be rotated and moved, which is very convenient to use.

[0065] The fastener 23 used is a fastening strap with Velcro. There are multiple fastening straps arranged at intervals along the length of the support 21. This fastening method is simple and easy to implement.

[0066] In some implementations, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the drive module 4 includes a motor 41, a lead screw 42, and a slider 43. The lead screw 42 is rotatably mounted on the frame 1. The motor 41 is connected to the lead screw 42 to drive the lead screw 42 to rotate. The slider 43 has a screw hole and is threadedly connected to the lead screw 42 through the screw hole. The slider 43 is fixedly connected to the housing 321, thereby realizing the up and down movement of the automatic injection module 3. This lead screw 42 drive form is simple, and the movement is smooth and the positioning accuracy is high, which is suitable for precision operation.

[0067] In some implementations, such as Figures 4-9 As shown, the negative pressure hole 316 extends along the length of the protective tube 311 and penetrates the protective tube 311. The upper end of the outer peripheral wall of the protective tube 311 is provided with an external thread. The bottom of the housing 321 is provided with an upwardly recessed groove 322. The inner peripheral wall of the groove 322 is provided with an internal thread. The top wall of the groove 322 is provided with several air extraction holes 323. All air extraction holes 323 are connected to the air pressure structure. When the external thread and the internal thread are tightened, the several air extraction holes 323 correspond one-to-one with the several negative pressure holes 316.

[0068] In other words, the needle 31 (including syringe 312, insulin, and protective tube 311) is a disposable detachable module that is quickly connected to the housing 321 via threads. Therefore, the core contact parts are disposable, which can prevent cross-infection. Since only the low-cost needle 31 needs to be replaced, the main equipment can be reused, and the cost of use is controllable. The detachable threaded connection is simple and can achieve quick replacement, improving the efficiency of continuous operation in the hospital.

[0069] Moreover, once installed, the negative pressure hole 316 on the protective tube 311 corresponds one-to-one with the air extraction hole 323 on the housing 321, which facilitates air extraction to achieve negative pressure in the negative pressure hole 316.

[0070] To simplify the gas path structure, such as Figure 8 As shown, the inner wall of the housing 321 is provided with an annular venting groove 324, which is connected to all the air extraction holes 323. The air pressure structure includes an air pump 325 and an air extraction pipe 326. The air pump 325 is connected to the air extraction pipe 326, and the air extraction pipe 326 is connected to the venting groove 324. In this way, with the help of the venting groove 324, the air extraction operation of all the air extraction holes 323 can be realized with only one air extraction pipe 326, which is simple and convenient.

[0071] In some implementations, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the interior of the housing 321 is hollow, forming a receiving cavity 327. A guide hole is provided at the center of the top wall of the groove 322. The guide hole extends upward and communicates with the receiving cavity 327. The first pneumatic telescopic component includes a cylinder 328 and a guide tube 329. The cylinder 328 is fixedly installed in the receiving cavity 327 and connected to the pneumatic structure. The guide tube 329 passes through the guide hole. The cylinder 328 is connected to the guide tube 329 to drive the guide tube 329 to move along the guide hole. A second pneumatic telescopic component is provided in the guide tube. When the needle 31 is detachably installed below the housing 321, the upper end of the syringe 312 abuts against the lower end of the guide tube 329, and the upper end of the piston rod 313 extends into the guide tube 329 and is connected to the second pneumatic telescopic component.

[0072] The second pneumatic telescopic component includes a bellows 3210, a fixed plate 3211, and a push plate 3212. The fixed plate 3211 is fixedly installed inside the guide tube 329, and the push plate 3212 is slidably installed inside the guide tube 329. The push plate 3212 abuts against the upper end of the piston rod 313. The upper end of the bellows 3210 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 3211, and the lower end is fixedly connected to the push plate 3212. The fixed plate 3211 is provided with an inflation pipe 3213 and an exhaust pipe 3214 that are respectively connected to the bellows 3210. The bellows 3210 can be extended when inflated. The inflation pipe 3213 and the exhaust pipe 3214 are respectively connected to the pneumatic structure.

[0073] In other words, the first pneumatic telescopic component is mainly in the form of a cylinder 328 extending and retracting. When the cylinder 328 extends, it can push the guide tube 329 to move, thereby pushing the syringe 312 to move. The second pneumatic telescopic component is mainly in the form of a bellows 3210 extending and retracting. When the bellows 3210 is inflated, it can extend, thereby pushing the push plate 3212 to move, thereby pushing the piston rod 313 to move. This bellows 3210 telescopic design is simple and compact, without a complex structure, and is easy to install in the small guide tube 329.

[0074] Furthermore, the extension and retraction of cylinder 328 and bellows 3210 are both pneumatic, allowing them to be uniformly connected to the pneumatic structure, simplifying the system. Full pneumatic operation also avoids the complex motor 41 and gear transmission, reducing the complexity and size of the device. The pneumatic method also facilitates smooth and precise linear motion, suitable for delicate injection operations. To enable independent operation of each pneumatic component, the pneumatic structure can be equipped with three air pumps 325, used respectively to achieve negative pressure at the negative pressure port 316, extension and retraction of cylinder 328, and extension and retraction of bellows 3210, which will not be elaborated further.

[0075] In some implementations, such as Figure 9As shown, a retaining ring 317 is provided at the bottom of the protective tube 311, and a spring 315 connects the lower end of the syringe 312 to the retaining ring 317. Under normal conditions, the needle 314 is hidden in the upper part of the retaining ring 317 due to the influence of the spring 315, and is not exposed. This physical structure ensures the safety of medical personnel and patients, meeting medical device safety standards. Furthermore, the retaining ring 317 also provides a certain degree of limitation on the syringe 312, preventing the first pneumatic telescopic component from pushing the syringe 312 excessively during injection, which could cause the needle 314 to penetrate too deeply into the subcutaneous tissue.

[0076] In summary, this device has the following main characteristics:

[0077] 1. Integration and Automation

[0078] This device integrates multiple steps, including arm fixation, negative pressure skin pinching, 314 needle puncture, and drug injection, into one device to achieve automated injection. This can significantly reduce the number of steps required by medical personnel, reduce human error, and improve injection efficiency and consistency.

[0079] 2. Innovative negative pressure skin-pinching mechanism

[0080] The protective tube 311 is connected to the air pressure structure through the negative pressure hole 316 at the bottom, which simulates the action of manually pinching the skin and automatically lifts the skin folds. This effectively avoids the risk of intramuscular injection caused by the thin subcutaneous fat in the arm. Moreover, the negative pressure adsorption is gentler than mechanical clamping and reduces patient discomfort.

[0081] 3. Compact pneumatic actuator system

[0082] The device employs a unified pneumatic structure to drive three core actions: negative pressure adsorption, syringe 312 propulsion (first telescopic component), and drug injection (second telescopic component). This achieves a high degree of integration, simplifies the drive system, and makes it entirely pneumatic, avoiding the complex motor 41 and gear transmission. This reduces the complexity and size of the device, and the pneumatic method makes it easy to achieve smooth and precise linear motion, making it suitable for delicate injection operations.

[0083] Although some embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations of these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
