Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of syringes, and in particular to array-type microneedle injection devices. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional microneedle injection devices face two major technical bottlenecks in clinical applications: First, the uniformity of fluid injection is severely lacking. Due to the shared single drug chamber, uneven distribution of drug flow resistance leads to a 2.3-fold difference in injection volume between the central and peripheral microneedles. This is particularly problematic when delivering large molecule drugs (such as insulin and monoclonal antibodies), where bioavailability fluctuations can reach as high as 40%, significantly impacting therapeutic stability. Second, the operation process is cumbersome and the injection efficiency is low. Existing devices require repeated manual reset of the drive mechanism, increasing the time required for treatment at multiple sites. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an array-type microneedle device with independent, multi-channel fluid supply and convenient operation to improve injection uniformity and ease of use.

[0054] Working principle of array-type microneedle injection device:
[0055] (1) Install the microneedle injection plate 3 on the lower side of the main body 2:
[0056] (2) In the initial state, the locking part 5 is in the locked state (at this time, the return spring 53 is in the unfolded state, which drives the arc plate 51 to squeeze the push head 411);
[0057] (3) Set the injection volume: Rotate the drive cover 1 / body 2, the metering component 11 extends out of the drive cover 1 to display the scale (at this time, the drive cover 1 moves towards the injection module 4, the drive spring 12 is compressed, and the drive rod 111 remains stationary).
[0058] (4) Press the array-type microneedle injection device against the injection site and apply a certain pressure;
[0059] (5) Apply a force of a specified intensity to the release part 6, the locking part 5 is in the released state, the metering part 11 pushes the propulsion part 41 to move downward, and the liquid injection is completed (at this time, the corrugated extrusion part 62 is compressed by force → the corrugated expansion part 61 expands → the arc plate 51 opens (the return spring 53 is compressed) → the metering part 11 moves downward (the drive spring 12 is reset) → the propulsion part 41 moves downward).
[0060] (6) Release the release part 6, and the locking part 5 returns to the locked state (at this time, the return spring 53 unfolds → the corrugated expansion part 61 is compressed → the corrugated compression part 62 is reset).
