[0124] The inner wall of the tail cap core 8 is provided with guide ribs 801 arranged circumferentially. The guide ribs 801 of the tail cap core cooperate with the tail groove 517, so that the tail cap core 8 and the guide sleeve 5 can move axially relative to each other, but cannot rotate circumferentially relative to each other.

[0125] In the initial assembly state, the front end face 802 of the tail cap inner core is in contact with the tail cap step surface 907, and the tail cap 9 can rotate circumferentially relative to the tail cap inner core 8, and can also move axially relative to it.

[0126] Optionally, a spiral groove 804 is provided on the outer wall of the far end of the inner core 8 of the tail cap.

[0127] The inner core 8 of the lancing device has an inner core abutment face 805, on which a lancing face 805 has an inner core hole 806. Multiple hollow structures 807 are arranged around the inner core abutment face 805 surrounding the inner core hole 806. The hollow structures 807 can have the same or different shapes. During use of the lancing device, the stop 4 will impact the inner core abutment face 805, and the hollow structures 807 effectively reduce vibration.

[0128] Optionally, an elastic element 803 is provided protruding on the side wall of the inner core 8 of the tail cap, and strip-shaped holes extending in the circumferential direction are provided on the front and rear sides adjacent to the wall surface where the elastic element 803 is located, so that the elastic element 803 has elasticity.

[0129] According to an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, such as Figures 21-22 The diagram shows the specific structure of the tail cap 9. The tail cap 9 has a tail cap cavity 908 for accommodating the tail cap inner core 8.

[0130] The outer wall of the rear end of the tail cap 9 is provided with circumferential and axial limiting structures.

[0131] The inner wall of the front end of the tail cap 9 is provided with a tail cap boss 906. Optionally, the tail cap boss 906 is a plurality of bosses arranged at intervals along the circumference of the inner wall of the tail cap 9.

[0132] When the adjusting structure is in the first axial position, the tail cap boss 906 is located in the space 506 so that the tail cap 9 can rotate circumferentially relative to the guide sleeve 5; when the adjusting structure is in the second axial position, the tail cap boss 906 and the tail rib 516 are circumferentially limited to restrict the rotation of the tail cap 9.

[0133] In the assembled state, the front end face 905 of the tail cap contacts the circumferential rib 602 of the main body 6.

[0134] The inner wall of the distal end of the tail cap 9 is provided with a plurality of spaced inner wall grooves 903, wherein the elastic element 803 of the inner core 8 of the tail cap is adapted to cooperate with the inner wall grooves 903. That is, when the tail cap 9 is rotated by the gear adjustment key 10, it cooperates with the elastic element 803 of the inner core 8 of the tail cap, so that the elastic element 803 moves in different inner wall grooves 903, generating a gear feel.

[0135] The inner wall of the front end face of the tail cap 9 has an inwardly radially protruding annular step, the annular step having a tail cap step surface 907, which is in contact with the front end face 802 of the tail cap inner core in the initial assembly state.

[0136] According to an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, such as Figures 23-25 As shown, the specific structure of the gear adjustment key 10 is illustrated.

[0137] The gear adjustment key 10 has an adjustment key hole 1008, and a needle retraction key 11 is assembled inside the cavity of the gear adjustment key 10. The rear end 1101 of the needle retraction key passes through the gear adjustment key hole 1008.

[0138] The inner wall of the gear adjustment key 10 is provided with circumferential and axial limiting structures. The cooperation between the limiting structures and the limiting structures makes the gear adjustment key 10 and the tail cap 9 move synchronously.

[0139] Optionally, the circumferential and axial limiting fit structure includes a circumferential groove 1001 and an axial groove 1002 for the adjustment key. The circumferential groove 1001 is an annular groove in the circumferential direction formed on the inner wall of the gear adjustment key 10. The number of axial grooves 1002 can be one, two, or more.

[0140] The gear shift key 10 has an indicator number 1003 on its outer wall. In the initial state, the front end 1004 of the gear shift key engages with the main body 6. The inner wall of the gear shift key 10 has a radially inward protruding boss structure 1005. The number of boss structures 1005 can be one, two, or more. The boss structure 1005 rotates in the spiral groove 804 of the inner core 8 of the tail cap, thereby driving the inner core 8 of the tail cap to move axially.

[0141] The gear adjustment key 10 has a radially inwardly protruding annular rib on its inner wall at the rear end, and the annular rib has a rear stepped surface 1006. In the assembled state, the needle retraction key 11 can be moved forward until the front end surface 1104 of the needle retraction key contacts the rear end surface 808 of the inner core of the tail cap, and can be moved rearward until the stepped surface 1105 of the needle retraction key contacts the rear stepped surface 1006 of the gear adjustment key.

[0142] According to an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, such as Figures 26-27 As shown, the specific structure of the ejector key 11 is illustrated.

[0143] The front end of the needle ejection key 11 is provided with needle ejection key spring arms 1103 arranged circumferentially. The needle ejection key spring arms 1103 of the needle ejection key 11 rub slightly against the inner wall 1007 of the gear adjustment key, so that the needle ejection key 11 and the gear adjustment key 10 are in a relatively fixed state.

[0144] The front end of the retractable key 11 has a front center structure 1102, which is optionally a hollow cylindrical structure. The outer wall of the retractable key 11 is provided with a retractable key step, which has a retractable key step surface 1105.

[0145] According to an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, such as Figure 28 The diagram shows the specific structure of the blood collection needle 14. The blood collection needle 14 includes a needle cap 1401 and a needle body 1402.

[0146] The assembly of the lancing device of this disclosure is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0147] The inner core 2 has an inner core cavity 214, and the needle ejector rod 3 is assembled inside the inner core 2, and the needle ejector rod 3 is partially wrapped in the inner core cavity 214. The first blocking part 215 of the inner core 2 cooperates with the blocking mating part of the needle ejector rod 3 to prevent the needle ejector rod 3 from coming out of the inner core cavity 214.

[0148] Optionally, the number of first blocking parts 215 can be one or more.

[0149] The outer wall of the needle ejector bar 3 is provided with a strip rib 303 to prevent the needle ejector bar 3 from rotating relative to the inner core 2. The top end 301 of the needle ejector bar passes through the inner core hole 212. Relative to the inner core 2, the needle ejector bar 3 can move forward until the rear end 306 of the needle ejector bar contacts the tail end face 217 of the inner core, and the needle ejector bar 3 can move backward until the second blocking engagement part 305 of the needle ejector bar contacts the first blocking part 215 of the inner core.

[0150] The guide sleeve 5 is assembled into the cavity of the main body 6. The guide sleeve positioning groove 512 cooperates with the main body positioning rib 603, so that the guide sleeve 5 and the main body 6 cannot rotate relative to each other.

[0151] The guide sleeve positioning surface 505 and the positioning element 504 cooperate with the circumferential rib 602 of the main body 6, so that the guide sleeve 5 cannot move axially relative to the main body 6.

[0152] The pen cap 1 is fitted to the front end of the guide sleeve 5. A pen cap protrusion 101 is provided on the inner wall of the pen cap 1. The pen cap protrusion 101 cooperates with the slot 503 of the guide sleeve 5 to fix the pen cap 1 and the guide sleeve 5 in a relatively fixed position. When the pen cap 1 is rotated counterclockwise, the pen cap protrusion 101 can be dislodged from the slot 503 of the guide sleeve 5, thereby separating the pen cap 1 from the guide sleeve 5.

[0153] An inner core 2 is assembled inside the cavity of the guide sleeve 5. The positioning rib 203 of the inner core 2 cooperates with the guide sleeve groove 508, so that the inner core 2 can move axially inside the cavity of the guide sleeve 5, but cannot rotate circumferentially.

[0154] A first spring 12 is mounted on the distal end 210 of the inner core. One end of the first spring 12 contacts the inner core abutment portion 216, and the other end contacts the guide sleeve abutment surface 511. After the first spring 12 is mounted, the distal end 210 of the inner core passes through the guide sleeve hole 507 and the tail cap inner core hole 806. Then, a second spring 13 is mounted on the distal end 210 of the inner core. A stop 4 is mounted on the tail of the inner core 2. The stop hole 401 engages with the inner core groove 209, keeping the stop 4 and the inner core 2 relatively fixed. One end of the second spring 13 contacts the front end face 805 of the tail cap inner core, and the other end contacts the stop abutment surface 404. The stop 4 has a stop groove 402, so that the stop hole 401 can be deformed outward during assembly to facilitate assembly.

[0155] The main body 6 is equipped with a firing key 7, used to release the inner core 2 from its loaded state. The hook 702 of the firing key 7 engages with the button hole 606 on the main body to prevent the firing key 7 from becoming detached from the main body 6. The head 901 of the tail cap 9 is fitted into the rear cavity of the main body 6. The tail cap 9 and the main body 6 can move axially relative to each other and can also rotate relative to each other. In the assembled state, the front end face 905 of the tail cap contacts the circumferential rib 602.

[0156] The tail cap cavity 908 contains a tail cap inner core 8. The guide rib 801 of the tail cap inner core 8 engages with the tail groove 517 of the guide sleeve 5, allowing the tail cap inner core 8 and the guide sleeve 5 to move axially relative to each other, but not to rotate circumferentially relative to each other. In the initial assembly state, the tail cap stepped surface 907 contacts the front end face 802 of the tail cap inner core, and the tail cap 9 and the tail cap inner core 8 can rotate circumferentially relative to each other and move axially relative to each other.

[0157] The rear of the tail cap 9 is equipped with a gear adjustment key 10. The circumferential groove 1001 and axial groove 1002 of the gear adjustment key cooperate with the circumferential rib 902 and axial rib 904 of the tail cap 9, so that the gear adjustment key 10 and the tail cap 9 are engaged and fixed.

[0158] The inner wall of the gear adjustment key 10 is provided with a radially inward protruding boss structure 1005. The boss structure 1005 cooperates with the spiral groove 804 of the tail cap inner core 8. The boss structure 1005 moves in the spiral groove 804, thereby driving the tail cap inner core 8 to move axially.

[0159] When adjusting the lancing device's speed setting, rotating the speed adjustment key 10 causes it to rotate relative to the inner core 8 of the cap. Under the interaction of the boss structure 1005 of the speed adjustment key 10 and the spiral groove 804 of the inner core, the speed adjustment key 10 and the cap 9 can cause the inner core 8 of the cap to move axially relative to the speed adjustment key 10, thereby limiting the forward movement distance of the inner core 2 and controlling the length of the lancing needle tip protruding from the cap hole 102. During this process, because the guide rib 801 of the inner core 8 of the cap engages with the tail groove 517 of the guide sleeve 5, the inner core 8 of the cap can only move axially relative to the guide sleeve 5.

[0160] Rotate the gear adjustment key 10 to rotate the inner core 8 of the tail cap to its foremost position relative to the tail cap 9 and the gear adjustment key 10. When the lancet moves to its foremost position relative to the pen cap 1, the lancet tip protrudes the longest from the end face of the pen cap, resulting in the deepest penetration into the skin. Figure 57 , Figure 58 As shown.

[0161] Rotate the gear adjustment key 10 to rotate the inner core 8 of the tail cap to its rearmost position relative to the tail cap 9 and the gear adjustment key 10. When the lancet moves to its rearmost position relative to the pen cap 1, the distance from the lancet tip protruding from the pen cap end face is the shortest, and the depth of penetration into the skin is the shallowest. Figure 59 , Figure 60 As shown.

[0162] The inner wall of the rear end of the cap 9 has grooves 903 distributed in the circumferential direction. When the cap 9 is rotated by the gear adjustment key 10, the grooves 903 on the inner wall of the cap 9 cooperate with the elastic element 803 of the cap core 8 to generate a gear feel.

[0163] In the embodiments of this disclosure, when the gear adjustment key 10 and the tail cap 9 are in the initial unpulled state, rotating the gear adjustment key 10 causes the tail cap 9 to rotate. At this time, the tail cap protrusion 906 on the inner wall of the tail cap will not interfere with the tail rib 516 of the guide sleeve 5 in the horizontal direction. Figure 61 , Figure 62 As shown. Therefore, the tail cap 9 can rotate relative to the guide sleeve 5, and drive the inner core 8 of the tail cap to produce axial displacement, thereby adjusting the exposed needle length of the blood collection needle.

[0164] Pull the gear shift adjustment key 10 and the tail cap 9 backward, so that the tail cap boss 906 partially or completely slides into the tail groove 517 of the guide sleeve. At this time, if the gear shift adjustment key 10 is rotated to rotate the tail cap 9, the tail cap boss 906 will interfere with the tail rib 516. Figure 63 , Figure 64 , Figure 65 , Figure 66 As shown. Therefore, the tail cap 9 cannot rotate, and thus will not cause axial displacement of the inner core 8 of the tail cap, and the blood collection pen setting will not change.

[0165] According to the gear adjustment structure disclosed herein, accidental rotation of the gear adjustment key 10 and the tail cap 9 when pulling them backward can prevent changes in the gear setting of the lancing device. The gear setting of the lancing device can only be adjusted by rotating it when the gear adjustment key 10 and the tail cap 9 are in the initial unpulled state.

[0166] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, illustrates the process of using the lancing device disclosed herein.

[0167] First, adjust the insertion length of the lancet tip:

[0168] like Figure 61 and Figure 62 As shown, when the gear adjustment key 10 and the tail cap 9 are in their initial unpulled state, rotating the gear adjustment key 10 causes the tail cap 9 to rotate. At this time, the tail cap protrusion 906 will not interfere with the tail rib 516 of the guide sleeve in the horizontal direction. The tail cap protrusion 906 is located in the space 506 at the front end of the tail rib 516 and is not obstructed in the circumferential direction, allowing it to rotate in the space 506. Based on the rotation of the tail cap 9 relative to the guide sleeve 5, the inner core 8 of the tail cap can be displaced axially, thereby adjusting the exposed needle length of the blood collection needle tip.

[0169] When the lancing device is in an unloaded and unloaded state:

[0170] like Figure 29 , Figure 30As shown in the figure, under the action of the first spring 12 and the second spring 13, the inner core 2, the first spring 12, the second spring 13, the stop 4, the needle ejection rod 3, and the guide sleeve 5 are positioned as shown in the figure. The inner core 2, the needle ejection rod 3, and the guide sleeve 5 are positioned as follows: Figure 31 The positional relationship between the inner core 2 and the needle ejector bar 3 is shown in the figure. Figure 56 As shown in (a).

[0171] like Figure 29 As shown, the rear end 306 of the needle ejector bar contacts the rear end face 217 of the inner core, and the front end face 1104 of the needle ejector key contacts the rear end face 808 of the inner core of the tail cap. If the gear adjustment key 10 and the tail cap 9 are pulled backward, the stepped surface 907 of the tail cap pushes the front end face 802 of the inner core of the tail cap, causing the inner core 8 of the tail cap to move backward. Then, the second spring 13 begins to compress under the action of the inner core 8 of the tail cap until the front end face 805 of the inner core of the tail cap contacts the front end face 403 of the stop, causing the stop 4 to move backward. Because the stop hole 401 engages within the inner core groove 209, the stop 4 and the inner core 2 remain relatively fixed, so the inner core 2 also moves backward. The rear end face 217 of the inner core 2 pushes the rear end 306 of the needle ejector bar, causing the needle ejector bar 3 to move backward as well. The positions of the needle ejector bar 3 and the inner core 2 are relatively fixed, as... Figure 32 As shown.

[0172] When the inner core 2 moves to the point where the first axial limiting fitting part 208 contacts the guide sleeve abutment part 513, the first axial limiting fitting part 208 and the guide sleeve abutment part 513 interact with each other, causing the inner core elastic structure 207 to begin to deform inward.

[0173] Optionally, at least one of the contact surfaces of the first axial limiting mating part 208 and the guide sleeve abutment part 513 is an inclined surface, so that under the action of axial force, the two structures will interact and generate lateral displacement, thereby causing the inner core elastic structure 207 to deform inward.

[0174] In an optional embodiment, the contact surfaces of the first axial limiting fitting part 208 of the inner core 2 and the guide sleeve abutment part 513 are both inclined structures. Therefore, when the inner core 2 deforms inward until the lateral limiting part 211 contacts the needle withdrawal rod 3, the elastic structure 207 of the inner core can no longer deform inward. At this time, the first axial limiting fitting part 208 of the inner core and the guide sleeve abutment part 513 are in an interference state, and the inner core 2 can no longer move to the rear end; the blood collection pen cannot be operated to the loaded and ready-to-fire state, such as Figure 33 , Figure 34 As shown.

[0175] The lancing pen disclosed herein includes a safety protection mechanism, which includes an inner core 2, a needle ejection rod 3, and a guide sleeve 5. According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, when the lancing pen is not equipped with a lancing needle or the lancing needle is not properly installed, the lancing pen cannot be loaded and fired, thereby preventing the lancing needle from popping out of the pen cap hole and causing injury to the user.

[0176] When installing the lancet in the lancing pen: insert the lancet 14 through the pen cap hole 102, as follows. Figure 35 and Figure 36 As shown, the lancet 14 pushes the needle retraction lever 3 to move rearward relative to the inner core 2. The pen cap 1 structure is not shown in the illustration for clarity of the internal structure.

[0177] The lancing pen described in this disclosure uses a method where the lancing needle 14 is directly inserted into the mounting base 201 from the pen cap 1, eliminating the need to disassemble the pen cap 1. This significantly reduces the number of steps required for use and greatly improves the ease of operation. Furthermore, during use, except for the moment the needle tip protrudes from the pen cap hole 102 during blood collection, the needle tip is protected during all other operating steps, preventing accidental injury to the user and greatly enhancing safety.

[0178] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, when the first blocking engagement portion 304 of the needle ejector bar 3 contacts the first blocking portion 215, the needle ejector bar 3 pushes the inner core 2 to move towards the rear end together, as shown below. Figure 35 As shown. When the inner core 2 moves to the point where the first axial limiting fitting part 208 contacts the guide sleeve abutment part 513, as mentioned above, since the contact surfaces of the first axial limiting fitting part 208 and the guide sleeve abutment part 513 of the inner core 2 are both inclined structures, the elastic structure 207 of the inner core begins to deform inward under the action of axial external force. When the inner core deforms to the point where the transverse limiting part 211 contacts the needle withdrawal rod 3, the elastic structure 207 of the inner core can no longer deform inward. At this time, the first axial limiting fitting part 208 and the guide sleeve abutment part 513 of the inner core are in an interference state, and the inner core 2 can no longer move to the rear end, as... Figure 36 As shown.

[0179] Continue pushing the needle ejector bar 3 further back, causing the first blocking engagement part 304 of the needle ejector bar to interact with the first blocking part 215 of the inner core. The first blocking engagement part 304 applies a force to the first blocking part 215. Under the action of axial force, the two structures interact and produce lateral displacement, causing the first blocking part 215 to begin to deform outward, resulting in the first blocking engagement part 304 of the needle ejector bar passing through the first blocking part 215 of the inner core. Figure 37 and Figure 56 As shown in (b).

[0180] Optionally, at least one of the contact surfaces between the first blocking mating part 304 and the inner core first blocking part 215 is an inclined surface.

[0181] In an optional embodiment, the contact surfaces of the first blocking engagement portion 304 and the inner core first blocking portion 215 are both inclined structures, so as to facilitate the interaction between the first blocking engagement portion 304 and the inner core first blocking portion 215, making it easier for the first blocking engagement portion 304 to overcome the obstruction of the inner core first blocking portion 215.

[0182] The first blocking part 304 of the needle withdrawal rod passes through the first blocking part 215 of the inner core until the end face of the top 301 of the needle withdrawal rod is flush with the bottom surface 218 of the inner core. At this time, the bottom surface 1404 of the blood collection needle contacts the bottom surface 218 of the inner core, and the stepped surface 1403 of the blood collection needle engages with the spring arm structure 202 of the inner core, so that the position of the blood collection needle 14 and the inner core 2 is relatively fixed and in an engaged state. Figure 38 As shown; in this state, the needle retraction lever clearance space 302 and the inner core lateral limiting part 211 are at the same horizontal position, therefore, the inner core lateral limiting part 211 has space to move inward, as shown. Figure 37 and Figure 56 As shown in (b).

[0183] Continue pushing the blood collection needle 14 rearward. The bottom surface 1404 of the blood collection needle pushes the bottom surface 218 of the inner core, causing the inner core 2 to continue moving rearward. During the movement of the inner core 2, the elastic structure 207 of the inner core continues to deform inward until the first axial limiting mating part 208 of the inner core 2 slides past the guide sleeve abutment part 513 and contacts the inner wall 510 of the guide sleeve. Figure 39 , Figure 40 As shown.

[0184] The lateral clearance depth of the needle ejection rod clearance space 302 is greater than the lateral interference between the inner core first axial limiting fitting part 208 and the guide sleeve abutment part 513. During this movement, the elastic arm end 206 of the inner core elastic arm 205 contacts the protruding inclined surface 514 of the guide sleeve 5, and under its action, the elastic arm 205 deforms in the axial direction of the blood collection pen and slides over the inner wall of the first protrusion 515 of the guide sleeve until it slides over the guide sleeve step surface 501. Then, the inner core elastic arm 205 returns to its natural state outward. At this time, in the lateral direction, the elastic arm end 206 and the guide sleeve step surface 501 are in an interference state, such as... Figure 41 As shown.

[0185] When the inner core 2 moves to the point where the rear end face of the inner core positioning rib 203 contacts the bottom end face 509 of the guide sleeve groove, the inner core 2 can no longer move backward. The external force applied to the blood collection needle 14 is removed. Since the first spring 12 is in a compressed state at this time, the inner core 2 begins to move towards the front end under the thrust of the first spring 12 until the end 206 of the elastic arm contacts the step surface 501 of the guide sleeve. At this time, the first spring 12 is compressed and acts on the inner core abutment part 216, and the blood collection pen is in a loaded, ready-to-fire state. Figure 41As shown. At this time, the positional relationship between the inner core 2 and the needle retraction lever 3 is as follows. Figure 56 As shown in (c), the needle retraction bar clearance space 302 and the inner core structure 211 are at the same horizontal position, and the first blocking part 215 is located between the first blocking mating part 304 and the second blocking mating part 305.

[0186] When the lancing pen is in the loaded position, the inner core protrusion 219 and the main body viewing hole 607 are at the same horizontal level. Optionally, the guide sleeve 5 is a transparent component, so the inner core protrusion 219 can be seen through the main body viewing hole 607, such as... Figure 41 As shown. In the unloaded state before use, the inner core protrusion 219 is positioned further forward relative to the main body viewing hole 607, therefore the inner core protrusion 219 cannot be seen through the main body viewing hole 607, as... Figure 29 As shown, what is seen through the main viewing hole 607 is the inner core hollow part 204.

[0187] Optionally, if the inner core protrusion 219 is colored, the color difference can be seen through the main body viewing hole 607, thereby determining whether the blood collection pen is in a loaded or unloaded state.

[0188] According to an illustrative embodiment of this disclosure, the blood collection pen of this disclosure also has another loading method.

[0189] Insert the lancet 14 through the pen cap hole 102. The lancet 14 pushes the needle retraction lever 3 to move rearward relative to the inner core 2. When the first blocking engagement part 304 of the needle retraction lever 3 contacts the first blocking part 215, the needle retraction lever 3 pushes the inner core 2 to move rearward together until the first axial limiting engagement part 208 contacts the guide sleeve abutment part 513. At this point, the two interfere with each other, and the inner core 2 stops moving rearward. Continuing to push the needle retraction lever 3, the first blocking engagement part 304 of the needle retraction lever interacts with the first blocking part 215 of the inner core, causing the first blocking engagement part 304 to pass through the first blocking part 215 of the inner core until the end face of the tip 301 of the needle retraction lever is flush with the bottom surface 218 of the inner core. At this time, the stepped surface 1403 of the lancet engages with the spring arm structure 202 of the inner core, and the needle retraction lever clearance space 302 and the transverse limiting part 211 of the inner core are at the same horizontal position, giving the transverse limiting part 211 of the inner core space to move inward.

[0190] After the lancet 14 and the inner core 2 are engaged, the external force applied to the lancet 14 is released. Then, the position adjustment key 10 and the cap 9 are pulled to the rear. The stepped surface 907 of the cap pushes the front end surface 802 of the cap inner core, thereby moving the cap inner core 8 to the rear. This description refers to the operation when the lancet is in position 9, which is the initial state after assembly, i.e., when the lancet tip is exposed at its longest. When it is necessary to adjust to other positions, the boss structure 1005 of the position adjustment key 10 pushes the spiral groove 804 of the cap inner core 8, moving the cap inner core 8 to the rear, thereby reducing the length of the exposed lancet tip.

[0191] Then, the second spring 13 begins to compress under the action of the inner core 8 of the tail cap until the front end face 805 of the inner core of the tail cap contacts the front end face 403 of the stop, driving the stop 4 to move to the rear end. Since the stop hole 401 is engaged in the inner core groove 209, the stop 4 and the inner core 2 are relatively fixed, so the inner core 2 also moves to the rear end until the elastic arm end 206 of the inner core 2 contacts the guide sleeve step surface 501. At this time, the blood collection pen is in the loaded and ready-to-fire state. When the tail cap 9 is released, the tail cap 9 returns to its normal state under the action of the second spring 13, as shown. Figure 41 As shown.

[0192] Throughout the entire process from the start of installing the lancet 14 until the lancet is loaded, the rear end 306 of the lancet retraction lever remains in contact with the front center structure 1102 of the lancet retraction key, causing the lancet retraction key 11 to move backward relative to the adjustment key 10.

[0193] At this time, when pulling the gear adjustment button 10 and the tail cap 9 to the rear, as follows: Figure 63 , Figure 64 As shown, when pulled slightly backward, the tail cap protrusion 906 partially slides into the tail groove 517; when the gear adjustment button 10 and the tail cap 9 are pulled to the rearmost position, Figure 65 and Figure 66 As shown, the tail cap protrusion 906 slides completely into the tail groove 517. At this time, if the gear adjustment key 10 is rotated and the tail cap 9 is rotated, the tail cap protrusion 906 will interfere with the tail rib 516, making the tail cap 9 unable to rotate, and thus the tail cap inner core 8 will not be axially displaced, and the blood collection pen gear will not change.

[0194] This design prevents accidental rotation of the gear adjustment key 10 and tail cap 9 when pulling them back, which would change the gear position of the lancing device. The gear position of the lancing device can only be adjusted by rotating it when the gear adjustment key 10 and tail cap 9 are in the initial unpulled state.

[0195] According to the blood collection pen disclosed herein, the puncture depth of the blood collection pen can be adjusted by rotating the gear adjustment key 10. At the same time, the gear adjustment key 10 also has a loading function. After the needle is loaded, pulling the gear adjustment key 10 to the rear end can realize the loading action of the blood collection pen, and there is a function to prevent misoperation during the loading process.

[0196] After unscrewing the needle cap 1401, the lancing device is in a ready-to-fire, ready-to-collect state, as follows. Figure 42 , Figure 43 As shown.

[0197] When the lancing device is in the ready-to-fire or ready-to-collect-blood state, if the fire button 7 is not pressed, but the needle retraction button 11 is pushed forward, the central structure 1102 at the front end of the needle retraction button 11 pushes the rear end 306 of the needle retraction rod, causing the needle retraction rod 3 to move forward. When the recessed sidewall 307 contacts the inner core lateral limiting part 211, the inner core lateral limiting part 211, under the force of the recessed sidewall 307, pushes the inner core elastic structure 207 to begin to deform outward.

[0198] Optionally, at least one of the contact surfaces of the recessed sidewall 307 and the inner core lateral limiting portion 211 is an inclined surface, so that under the action of axial force, the two structures will interact and generate lateral displacement, thereby causing the inner core elastic structure 207 to deform outward.

[0199] In an optional embodiment, the contact surfaces of the recessed sidewall 307 and the inner core lateral limiting portion 211 are both inclined surfaces.

[0200] Under the force of the recessed sidewall 307, the inner core lateral limiting part 211 pushes the inner core elastic structure 207 to begin deforming outward. Because in this state, the first axial limiting fitting part 208 on the inner core elastic structure 207 is in contact with the inner wall 510 of the guide sleeve, the inner core elastic structure 207 has no outward deformation space. The recessed sidewall 307 and the inner core lateral limiting part 211 are in an interference state, the needle ejection rod 3 can no longer move forward, and the needle ejection key 11 can no longer move forward under external force. Figure 40 , Figure 43 , Figure 44 As shown.

[0201] The needle retraction mechanism of the lancing pen disclosed herein has an anti-misoperation function. It prevents accidental pressing of the needle retraction button 11 when the lancing pen is in the ready-to-collect state (i.e., when the lancing pen is loaded), thus pushing the lancing needle 14 out of the pen cap hole 102 and causing accidental injury to the user. It also prevents accidental pressing of the needle retraction button 11 when the lancing pen is in the ready-to-fire state (without unscrewing the lancing needle cap 1401), thus pushing the lancing needle 14 out of the pen cap hole 102 and requiring the user to reinstall the lancing needle, resulting in repeated actions. In other words, with the lancing pen of this disclosure, the needle retraction button cannot be pressed down to retract the needle when the firing button 7 is not pressed.

[0202] Pressing the launch button 7 causes the end face of the launch rib 701 to push the end 206 of the inner core elastic arm inward, causing the inner core elastic arm 205 to bend and deform inward. The end 206 of the elastic arm is no longer engaged with the step surface 501 of the guide sleeve. The inner core 2 moves axially forward under the action of the first spring 12 until the first spring 12 is fully released. Then, under the action of inertia, the inner core 2 continues to move axially forward until the front end face 403 of the stop contacts the front end face 805 of the inner core of the tail cap, and the inner core 2 stops moving forward. At this time, the needle tip of the blood collection needle 14 has emerged from the pen cap hole 102, and the blood collection action is completed. Figure 45 , Figure 46 , Figure 47 As shown; when the needle tip of the blood collection needle is withdrawn, the positional relationship between the inner core 2 and the needle withdrawal button 3 is as follows. Figure 56 As shown in (d), the needle retraction rod clearance space 302 and the inner core structure 211 are at the same horizontal position, and the first blocking part 215 is located between the first blocking mating part 304 and the second blocking mating part 305.

[0203] Then, under the action of the second spring 13, the stop 4 drives the inner core 2 to move backward until it reaches the unloaded state, as shown. Figure 48 , Figure 49 As shown.

[0204] Throughout the forward and backward movement of the inner core 2, the blood collection needle 14 and the inner core 2 remain in a relatively fixed state because the end of the elastic arm structure 202 is engaged with the step surface 1403 of the blood collection needle.

[0205] Throughout the forward movement of the inner core 2, the first blocking part 215 of the inner core 2 pushes the second blocking engagement part 305 of the needle ejection rod, causing the needle ejection rod 3 to move forward together with the inner core 2. When the stop 4 contacts the front end face 805 of the inner core and the inner core 2 stops moving forward, the first blocking engagement part 304 of the needle ejection rod contacts the first blocking part 215, preventing the needle ejection rod 3 from continuing to move forward relative to the inner core 2 due to inertia. This provides a forward thrust to the blood collection needle 14, thus preventing the stepped surface 1403 of the blood collection needle 14 from loosening with the inner core spring arm structure 202, and preventing the blood collection needle 14 from becoming loose.

[0206] During the backward movement of the inner core 2, the first blocking part 215 of the inner core 2 pushes the first blocking engagement part 304, causing the needle ejector bar 3 to move backward along with the inner core 2. After the inner core 2 stops moving backward, the second blocking engagement part 305 of the needle ejector bar contacts the first blocking part 215 of the inner core, preventing the needle ejector bar 3 from continuing to move backward relative to the inner core 2 due to inertia, thereby avoiding a change in the relative position of the needle ejector bar 3 and the inner core 2. Figure 47 As shown. The needle ejection button 11 does not participate in the movement of the inner core 2.

[0207] After blood collection is complete, prepare to remove the needle.

[0208] At this time, pushing the bottom end 1106 of the needle retraction button 11 causes the needle retraction button 11 to move axially forward relative to the gear adjustment button 10. When the front center structure 1102 of the needle retraction button contacts the rear end 306 of the needle retraction rod, the needle retraction button 11 pushes the needle retraction rod 3 forward together. Since the first blocking part 304 of the needle retraction rod contacts the first blocking part 215 of the inner core, the needle retraction rod 3 drives the inner core 2 forward together, and at the same time, the stop 4 and the blood collection needle 14 also move forward together with the inner core 2. When the movement reaches the point where the front end face 403 of the stop contactes the front end face 805 of the inner core of the tail cap, the inner core 2 can no longer move forward, as... Figure 50 , Figure 51 As shown.

[0209] At this point, the tip of the lancet 14 protrudes from the pen cap hole 102. In this state, the lancet tip can be aligned with the needle cap 1401, allowing the lancet tip to penetrate the needle cap 1401. Figure 52 , Figure 53 As shown.

[0210] Continue pushing the needle ejection key 11, so that the needle ejection key 11 continues to apply a force to the needle ejection rod 3 to move forward. Since the contact surfaces of the first blocking part 304 of the needle ejection rod and the first blocking part 215 of the inner core are both inclined, under the action of axial force, the first blocking part 215 of the inner core begins to deform outward, so that the first blocking part 304 of the needle ejection rod passes through the first blocking part 215 of the inner core, and the needle ejection rod 3 and the inner core 2 are relatively displaced.

[0211] During this process, the top of the needle retraction lever 301 pushes the bottom surface 1404 of the blood collection needle, causing the stepped surface 1403 of the blood collection needle to disengage from the inner core spring arm structure 202. The blood collection needle 14 then exits from the pen cap hole 102 and falls freely. After the first blocking engagement part 304 of the needle retraction lever disengages from the first blocking part 215 of the inner core and the stepped surface 1403 of the blood collection needle from the inner core spring arm structure 202, the needle retraction button 11 is pressed again. The needle retraction lever 3 moves forward together under the action of the needle retraction button 11 until the front end surface 1104 of the needle retraction button contacts the rear end surface 808 of the inner core of the cap. Since the inner core 2 and the stop 4 are relatively fixed in position, the stop 4, under the action of the second spring 13, drives the inner core 2 to move backward until it reaches the unloaded state, such as... Figure 54 , Figure 55 As shown.

[0212] In the above embodiments, the lateral limiting part 211 is disposed on the inner side of the elastic structure. However, in an optional embodiment, although not shown, the needle withdrawal rod is provided with an axially extending lateral limiting part on the outer side in the lateral direction. When the blood collection needle is not installed at the front end of the inner core or the blood collection needle is not installed in place, the lateral limiting part is adapted to abut against the elastic structure laterally outward to prevent the first axial limiting mating part from moving laterally inward. The first axial limiting mating part 208 is adapted to abut against the first axial limiting part 513 in the axial direction to prevent the inner core 2 from moving to the far end to the firing state. When the needle ejector bar is provided with an axially extending lateral limiting portion on the outer side in the lateral direction, a clearance space can be provided on the inner side of the elastic structure. When the blood collection needle is installed in place, the blood collection needle 14 is adapted to push the needle ejector bar 3 to move toward the distal end in the inner core 2 until the clearance space is opposite to the lateral limiting portion in the lateral direction, allowing the portion of the elastic structure that abuts the first axial limiting portion to elastically deform or move inward in the lateral direction, so that the first axial limiting fitting portion 208 disengages from the abutment of the first axial limiting portion 513 in the axial direction.

[0213] Furthermore, in this disclosure, the inclined structure is configured to form a moving interference in the axial direction. In addition to the inclined structure, other structures, such as a convex surface, can also be used.
