[0092] The technical solution of the present application is further described in detail below through the accompanying drawings and examples.
[0093] FIG1 is a schematic structural diagram of a drug injection system provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG1 , the drug injection system includes a base plate 10 , a drive device 20 and a needle-assisting device 30 . The components of the system are introduced below respectively.
[0094] The base plate 10 is used to fix the driving device 20 and the needle assisting device 30 .
[0095] The driving device 20, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, specifically includes a swing arm 201, a driving module 202, a pushing module 203, a ratchet 204, a backstop module 205, an outer screw 206, an inner screw 210 and a propulsion module (a push plug 211, a liquid storage tank 212). The following is a detailed introduction to the structures of each part of the driving device 20.
[0096] The swing arm 201 receives external driving force to generate rotation, thereby driving the pushing module 203. The swing arm 201 can be a plate-like structure with a screw hole in the middle. In this embodiment, the swing arm 201 is fixed on the base plate 10, and the base plate 10 is provided with corresponding limiting columns to limit the axial position of the swing arm 201.
[0097] The driving module 202 is used to generate an external driving force to drive the swing arm to rotate. Specifically, it can be connected to the swing arm 201. The driving module includes but is not limited to two driving wires, which are respectively connected to the two ends of the swing arm 201. In a specific example, the driving wire here can be a metal wire, the property of which is that it shrinks when heated to generate a driving force. When the driving wire is energized, it drives the swing arm 201 to rotate. Specifically, when the driving device 20 is working, it alternately energizes the two driving wires, and the wires change from a relaxed state to a contracted state, thereby generating a driving force and driving the swing arm 201 to rotate. Optionally, the driving device 20 also includes a swing arm limiting surface fixed on the base plate 10. When the swing arm 201 rotates to the swing arm limiting surface, the driving wire 202 stops being energized.
[0098] The two pushing modules 203 are used to drive the ratchet 204 to rotate. As shown in FIG4 , the pushing modules 203 can be specifically two pushing plates, one located at each end of the swing arm 201. When the swing arm 201 rotates, the pushing modules 203 are driven to rotate. The two pushing modules 203 are staggered so that at different driving stages, there is always one pushing module 203 located at the root of the ratchet 204 to drive the ratchet 204 to rotate.
[0099] The ratchet 204 is driven to rotate by the push module 203. Specifically, a plurality of teeth are provided on the upper portion of the outer wall of the ratchet 204. The push module 203 drives the ratchet 204 to rotate via the teeth of the ratchet 204. The base plate 204 also axially limits the ratchet 204. A variety of axial limiting methods can be used, including but not limited to providing a rotating component on the ratchet base 204, and axially limiting the ratchet 204 via the base plate. Furthermore, a limiting surface 2041 is provided on the outer wall of the ratchet 204, which triggers the needle-assisting device 30. Optionally, to ensure the stability of the ratchet 204 during rotation, the drive device 20 further includes two fixing plates and a fixing post for limiting the position of the ratchet 204. The two fixing plates are respectively provided on either side of the ratchet 204, and the fixing post is fixed between the two fixing plates, thereby fixing the ratchet 204 between the fixing post and the two fixing plates, thereby radially limiting the ratchet 204.
[0100] The backstop module 205 is fixed to the base plate 10 and connected to the ratchet 204. Its function is to control the unidirectional rotation of the ratchet 204. As shown in Figure 4, the backstop module 205 can be specifically two stoppers, arranged in an interlaced manner. Such that there is always one backstop module 205 located at the root of the ratchet 204 teeth, restricting the ratchet 204 from unidirectional rotation. Alternatively, the backstop module 205 can also be implemented as a one-way bearing to achieve its function.
[0101] The outer screw 206 is arranged inside the ratchet 204, and can be specifically cooperated with the slide groove and the key, thereby, the outer screw 206 can rotate synchronously with the ratchet 204 or axially displace relative to the ratchet; the outer wall of the outer screw 206 is provided with a thread, which is screwed into the screw hole of the swing arm 201, thereby realizing the relative movement of the outer screw 206 and the swing arm 201, that is, the outer screw 206 can realize axial displacement.
[0102] The inner spiral tube 210 has an internal thread inside, and one end is set in the outer spiral tube. Specifically, the rotation limit can be completed through a slot. When the user injects the medicine into the inner tube to the full amount, the inner spiral tube 210 moves toward the direction close to the outer spiral tube 206 and reaches the end axial limit surface, thereby forming an actual fixed connection. After starting work, the inner spiral tube 210 is driven to rotate and move together with the rotation and axial displacement of the outer spiral tube 206.
[0103] The push plug 211 is disposed within the liquid storage tank 212 and is used to press the liquid out of the liquid storage tank 212. An internal screw 2111 is provided at one end. The internal screw 2111 is threadedly engaged with the inner wall of the internal spiral tube 210. Thus, the internal screw can be unscrewed from the internal spiral tube 210, driving the axial displacement of the push plug 211. Preferably, a rubber sealing ring is provided at the front of the push plug 211 to achieve a seal on the liquid within the liquid storage tank 212.
[0104] The liquid storage tank 212 is fixed to the base plate 10 and is used to store liquid. It is sleeved on the outside of the plunger 211 and provides a rotational limit for the plunger 211. The plunger 211 can be axially displaced within the liquid storage tank 212 to achieve liquid injection and output. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can select the liquid stored in the liquid storage tank 212 as needed. The liquid includes but is not limited to insulin, glucagon, antibiotics, nutrient solution, analgesics, morphine, anticoagulants, gene therapy drugs, cardiovascular drugs, or chemotherapy drugs.
[0105] Based on the understanding of the structure of the driving device 20 provided in this embodiment, its working process and principle are introduced below with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 4 .
[0106] The drug dispensing process of the drug injection system provided in this embodiment includes ratchet drive and retraction drive.
[0107] Ratchet drive: The drive module 202 is activated, driving the swing arm 201 to rotate in a first direction. This, in turn, drives the ratchet 204 and outer solenoid 206 in the first direction through the push module 203. At this point, the outer solenoid 206 and inner solenoid 210 can be considered fixedly connected, and the inner solenoid 210 also rotates in the first direction. Since the plunger 211 is located within the liquid reservoir 212 and cannot rotate, the rotational motion of the inner solenoid 210 is converted into a linear stepping motion of the plunger 211. The inner screw 2111 rotates out, thereby driving the plunger 211 to axially move away from the outer solenoid 206, expelling the liquid from the liquid reservoir 212. At this point, the stop module 205 passes over the ratchet 204, unrestricting its rotation.
[0108] During the retraction drive, the drive module 202 operates, driving the swing arm 201 to rotate in the second direction. Because the retraction stop module 205 abuts against the teeth of the ratchet 204 to prevent it from rotating, the swing arm 201 rotates relative to the outer screw 206. Due to the axial restraint between the swing arm 201 and the ratchet 204, the outer screw 206 rotates out, driving the inner screw 210, the inner screw 2111, and the plunger 211 to axially displace, expelling the liquid from the liquid reservoir 212. At this point, the push module 203 slides off the surface of the ratchet 204. It is understood that this retraction process also drives drug infusion, eliminating idle travel and minimizing energy consumption.
[0109] The first direction is opposite to the second direction. The first direction can be clockwise or counterclockwise, and those skilled in the art can set it as needed.
[0110] It should be noted that during the driving wheel driving and retraction driving processes, the driving wheel 205 does not make axial movement, thereby avoiding radial runout of the ratchet. Furthermore, the reduction in moving parts makes the structural stability more reliable and the structural accuracy higher.
[0111] In some preferred embodiments, the drive device further includes a second force storage module 207, a limiting plate 208, and a telescopic sleeve 209. Specifically, a torsion spring limiting area is provided at the top of the inner wall of the outer coil 206 for accommodating the second force storage module 207. The second force storage module 207 is disposed within the torsion spring limiting area of the outer coil 206, with one end fixed therein. The limiting plate 208 is connected to the second force storage module 207 and is used to limit the second force storage module 207. Specifically, the limiting plate 208 is fixed on the top surface of the outer screw tube 206 and is clamped in the limiting groove on the top surface of the swing arm 201. The second force storage module 207 is limited to the torsion spring limiting area of the outer screw tube 206 by the limiting plate 208. It should be understood that when the outer screw tube 206 rotates, it will drive the limiting plate 208 to rotate. When it rotates to a certain angle, the limiting plate 208 will disengage from the limiting groove on the top surface of the swing arm 201, thereby driving the second force storage module 207 to release its clamping.
[0112] The bottom end of the telescopic sleeve 209 is disposed in the outer spiral tube 206 . Specifically, a plurality of guide posts may be provided on the telescopic sleeve 209 for guiding the axial displacement of the inner spiral tube 210 .
[0113] One end of the inner coil 210 passes through the second power storage module 207 , and a sliding groove is provided on the outer wall of the inner coil 210 , through which the inner coil 210 is slidably mounted on the telescopic sleeve 209 , thereby forming a retractable structure with the telescopic sleeve 209 , saving space.
[0114] The drug dispensing process of the drug injection system provided in this embodiment also includes two processes: ratchet drive and retraction drive.
[0115] Ratchet drive: The drive module 202 operates, driving the swing arm 201 to rotate in the first direction. This, in turn, drives the ratchet 204, the outer screw 206, and the limiting plate 208 to rotate in the first direction through the push module 203. At this point, the limiting plate 208 slides out of the limiting slot on the swing arm 201, and the second force storage module 207 releases and holds the inner screw 210. At this point, the outer screw 206, the second force storage module 207, and the inner screw 210 are considered to be firmly connected. The inner screw 210 also rotates in the first direction. Since the plunger 211 is located within the liquid reservoir 212 and cannot rotate, the rotational motion of the inner screw 210 is converted into a linear stepping motion of the plunger 211. The inner screw 2111 rotates out, thereby driving the plunger 211 to axially move away from the outer screw 206, expelling the liquid from the liquid reservoir 212. At this point, the backstop module 205 passes over the ratchet 204, unrestricting its rotation.
[0116] During the retraction drive, the drive module 202 operates, driving the swing arm 201 to rotate in the second direction. Because the retraction stop module 205 abuts against the teeth of the ratchet 204 to prevent it from following the rotation, the swing arm 201 rotates relative to the outer screw 206. Due to the axial restraint between the swing arm 201 and the ratchet 204, the outer screw 206 rotates out, driving the axial displacement of the torsion spring, the inner screw 210, the inner screw 2111, and the plunger 211, thereby expelling the liquid from the liquid reservoir 212. At this point, the push module 203 slides off the surface of the ratchet 204. It is understood that this retraction process also drives drug infusion, eliminating idle travel and minimizing energy consumption.
[0117] In order to better understand the working process of the driving device 20, a specific embodiment is described below. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, in this embodiment, the two driving modules 202 are respectively the first driving wire 2021 and the second driving wire 2022, and the two pushing modules 203 are respectively the first pushing module 2031 and the second pushing module 2032, which are staggered at an angle of half a tooth. That is to say, when the first pushing module 2031 is located at the root of the ratchet 204, the second pushing module 2032 is located in the middle of the two teeth; the two stopping modules 205 are respectively the first stopping module 2031 and the second pushing module 2032. The retraction module 2051 and the second retraction prevention module 2052, like the pushing module 203, are also staggered by an angle of half a tooth. To ensure that each drive rotates half a tooth, two swing arm limit posts are provided at both ends of the swing arm 201. The first swing arm limit post and the second swing arm limit post are provided on the bottom plate. When the swing arm 201 rotates to the swing arm limit post at an angle of half a tooth, the swing arm 201 stops rotating. Specifically, a detection brush can be provided on the swing arm limit post. When the swing arm contacts the limit post, the brush is connected, and the power supply is stopped at this time, thereby stopping the swing arm from rotating. The working process of the driving device 20 of this embodiment is described below.
[0118] In the first stage, the first driving wire 2021 is energized, driving the swing arm 201 to rotate clockwise in the forward direction, the first pushing module 2031 pushes the ratchet 204 to rotate clockwise, and the outer screw 206 also rotates clockwise in the same direction, driving the limit plate 208 to rotate. When the limit plate 208 slides out of the upper limit slot of the swing arm 201, the second force storage module 207 releases and clamps the inner screw 210. At this time, the outer screw 206, the torsion spring and the inner screw 210 can be regarded as fixedly connected. When rotating clockwise, the inner screw is unscrewed, thereby driving the push plug 211 to axially displace and complete the injection.
[0119] In the second stage, the second drive wire 2022 is energized, driving the swing arm 201 to rotate counterclockwise in the forward direction, and the first anti-retraction module 2051 presses against the tooth surface of the ratchet 204 to prevent it from rotating. At this time, the swing arm 201 rotates relative to the outer screw tube 206. Due to the axial limitation of the swing arm 201 and the ratchet 204, the outer screw tube 206 is unscrewed, driving the torsion spring, inner screw tube 210, inner screw, and push plug 211 to axially move, completing the injection.
[0120] In the third stage, the first driving wire 2021 is energized, and the second pushing module 2032 pushes the ratchet 204 to rotate, completing one injection. This process is similar to the first stage and will not be described in detail.
[0121] In the fourth stage, the second driving wire 2022 is energized, and the second stop module 2052 is activated to complete a liquid injection. This process is similar to the second stage and will not be described in detail.
[0122] This cycle repeats itself. It is understandable that the first pushing module 203 and the second pushing module 203 need to rotate one tooth pitch alternately for the ratchet wheel 204 to rotate one tooth pitch.
[0123] It should be noted that the amount of liquid injected each time is determined by the upward displacement of the push plug 211. The upward displacement of the push plug 211 is related to the rotation angle of the swing arm 201, the number of teeth and rotation angle of the ratchet 204, the outer screw 206, the inner screw 210, and the thread spacing of the inner screw. For example, the more teeth the ratchet 204 has, the smaller the rotation angle generated each time, and the smaller and more accurate the dosage of medicine injected each time. Therefore, those skilled in the art can set the rotation angle of the swing arm 201, the number of teeth and rotation angle of the ratchet 204, the outer screw 206, the inner screw 210, and the thread spacing of the inner screw 2111 according to the needs of the amount of medicine injected each time.
[0124] In order to realize the knowledge of the liquid capacity of the liquid storage tank 212 during the injection and dispensing processes, as shown in Figures 3 and 5, the driving device 20 also includes a first step detection module, including a drug quantity detection piece 2131 and a first external brush 2132. One end of the drug quantity detection piece 2131 is fixed to the bottom of the ratchet 204 and connected to the first external brush 2132, and the other end is arranged on the inner wall of the outer screw tube 206. When the user does not inject the drug, the claw at the tail of the telescopic sleeve 209 and the slide groove of the inner screw tube 210 cooperate and buckle, and the head of the telescopic sleeve 209 is located inside the outer screw tube 206, playing a guiding role during the injection of the drug, preventing excessive radial runout during the injection. At this time, the fixed drug quantity detection piece 2131 is not conductive and there is no signal. During the injection process of the liquid storage tank 212, when the liquid in the liquid storage tank 212 increases, the plunger 211 drives the inner coil 210 to move axially along the telescopic sleeve 209 toward the outer coil 206. When the liquid increases to a preset volume, the head of the telescopic sleeve 209 stops moving downward under the action of the limit plate at the bottom of the outer coil 206, and the corresponding tail claw disengages from the buckle position and moves upward relative to the inner coil 210. The drug quantity detection piece 2131 contacts the inner coil 210, the circuit is turned on, and the system triggers the second storage module 207 to clamp the inner coil 210 according to the preset program; it should be noted that the preset volume here is the minimum capacity required for one injection, that is, the minimum injection amount; when the user injects the maximum amount of medicine, the claws of the telescopic sleeve 209 and the inner coil 210 are completely combined. During the drug dispensing process, when the liquid in the liquid storage tank 212 reaches the preset volume, an alarm will be triggered to prompt the user to replenish the liquid medicine; when the liquid in the liquid storage tank 212 is lower than the preset volume, the drug quantity detection piece 2131 will be separated from the contact with the inner spiral tube 210, and the circuit will be disconnected, informing the system of the remaining amount of medicine at this time, and prompting the user to replenish the liquid medicine.
[0125] The driving device 20 provided in this embodiment can also realize real-time injection amount detection. In some embodiments, the first step detection module also includes a detection resistor 2133 and a detection brush 2134; the detection resistor 2133 is a high-resistance resistor as a whole, fixed at the bottom of the ratchet 204, and electrically connected to the first external brush 2132. The detection brush 2134 is set at the bottom of the outer screw 206; when the ratchet 204 rotates and the outer screw 206 steps, the detection brush 2134 and the detection resistor 2133 form a loop and are connected to the first external brush 2132. Therefore, the resistance value will change each time the ratchet 204 rotates and the outer screw 206 steps, thereby obtaining the amount of each movement, and then converting it into real-time injection amount through the system chip.
[0126] In some embodiments, the driving device 20 may further include a second step detection module, as shown in Figure 6, specifically including a second external brush 2141 and a rotation detection piece 2142. The rotation detection piece 2142 can specifically be a metal cap with a notch, provided with multiple notches, and the notch positions are unevenly arranged, distributed in an increasing form or a large and small grid form, and can also be detected during reversal. The rotation detection piece 2142 is fixed to the bottom of the ratchet 204 and connected to the second external brush 2141. When the rotation detection piece 2142 rotates to the notch part, the circuit is disconnected. When it rotates to the non-notch metal part, it is connected to the second external brush 2141, thereby realizing rotation detection, and then converting it into real-time injection volume through the system chip.
[0127] In summary, compared with the prior art, the driving device provided in this embodiment no longer requires the use of motors, reducers, etc., which reduces manufacturing costs; it reduces the size and weight, making it easier to use and carry; due to the reduced size, more injection sites can be selected, such as the abdomen, limbs, etc., which can reduce the possibility of complications caused by always injecting the same site; and it eliminates the impact of noise, making the use process more comfortable, and the output more stable, direct, and reliable, which is conducive to accurately controlling the amount of insulin injected into the patient and ensuring the patient's health.
[0128] The above is an introduction to the structure and working process of the driving device 20. The liquid output from the liquid storage tank 212 will be injected into the subcutaneous tissue of the human body through the liquid-conducting tube 40 or through the hard needle through the needle-assisting device 30. The needle-assisting device 30 includes a track pressure plate 301, a soft needle slider 302, a hard needle slider 303, a second connecting rod 304, a first force storage module 305, a limiter 306 and a trigger assembly 307. The structure of each part of the needle-assisting device 30 is introduced below.
[0129] The track pressing plate 301 is fixed on the base plate 10 and is provided with a track for placing the hard needle slider 303 and the soft needle slider 302. The hard needle slider 303 and the soft needle slider 302 can slide along the track.
[0130] The needle slider 302 is used to secure the needle and is slidably mounted on the track of the track plate 301. To prevent the needle slider 302 from rebounding, a needle stopper is provided at the bottom of the track plate 301. When the needle slider 302 reaches the bottom of the track plate 301, the stopper prevents the slider 302 from resetting.
[0131] The hard needle slider 303 is slidably arranged on the track of the track pressure plate 301 and is connected to the other end of the second connecting rod 3042. It is driven by the second connecting rod 3042. The hard needle slider 303 is used to fix the hard needle. The hard needle can be connected to the liquid storage tank 212 through a catheter or directly.
[0132] The second connecting rod 304 includes a first connecting rod 3041 and a second connecting rod 3042 connected to each other. The first connecting rod 3041 and the second connecting rod 3042 form a linkage mechanism, that is, when the first connecting rod 3041 rotates, it will also drive the second connecting rod 3042 to rotate. The first connecting rod 3041 is connected to the hard needle slider 303 and is used to drive the hard needle slider 303 to move. The second connecting rod 3042 is connected to the first force storage module 305 via a pin. When the first force storage module 305 releases elastic potential energy, it drives the second connecting rod to rotate, thereby driving the hard needle slider 303 and the needle slider to move. It is understood that one end of the first force storage module 305 is fixed to the base plate 10 and is stationary. Its function is to trigger the rotation of the second connecting rod 304.
[0133] The limiting member 306 is fixed on the base plate 10 and is used to limit the movement of the first force storage module 305, the hard needle slider 303 or the second connecting rod 304, thereby keeping the first force storage module 305 in a compressed force storage state to store elastic potential energy.
[0134] The trigger assembly 307 includes a rotating shaft, a push rod 3071 and a trigger rod 3072. The rotating shaft is fixed on the base plate 10. The trigger rod 3072 and the push rod 3071 are fixed on the rotating shaft. One end of the trigger rod 3072 is limited by the limiting surface of the ratchet 204, and the other end is fixed on the base plate 10 and connected to one end of the push rod 3071. The push rod 3071 is arranged below the limiting member 306. It should be noted that in the initial state, the push rod 3071 lifts the limiting member 306. When the trigger rod 3072 rotates, it will drive the push rod 3071 to rotate. At this time, the limiting member 306 falls and no longer limits the movement of the hard needle slider 303 or the two-link rod.
[0135] Based on the understanding of the structure of the needle-assisting device 30 provided in this embodiment, its working process and principle are introduced below.
[0136] In the initial state, the limiting surface of the ratchet 204 limits the trigger rod 3072, the push rod 3071 lifts the limiting member 306, and the limiting member 306 limits the movement of the hard needle slider 303 or the second connecting rod, so that the first force storage module 305 remains in a compressed state.
[0137] When the driving device 20 is working, the ratchet 204 rotates. When the trigger rod 3072 passes the limiting surface of the ratchet 204, it drives the top rod 3071 to rotate, the limiting piece 306 falls, and the hard needle slider 303 or the second connecting rod disengages from the limit of the limiting piece 306. At this time, the first force storage module 305 is released, driving the second connecting rod 3042 to rotate, thereby driving the first connecting rod 3041 to rotate, and then driving the hard needle slider 303 and the soft needle slider 302 to move downward along the track of the track pressure plate 301. The hard needle and soft needle enter the user's subcutaneous tissue for injection, thereby completing the needle assist. After that, the soft needle slider 302 is limited at the bottom of the track pressure plate 301, and the soft needle remains in the subcutaneous tissue. The hard needle slider 303 rebounds and resets under the action of the first force storage module 305, driving the hard needle to reset. The needle-assisting device 30 of this embodiment assists the needle subcutaneously, the hard needle rebounds automatically, and the soft needle remains subcutaneously, which reduces the risk of infection and has good antibacterial and sealing properties; the soft needle is placed subcutaneously to inject the drug, which causes little pain and is convenient for the patient to move around, without worrying about the needle falling off; compared to an insulin injection pen, which requires at least 4 injections a day, the subcutaneous drug infusion device can be used for at least 3 days with one needle-assisting operation, which reduces the number of injections and causes less psychological and physical trauma to the patient.
[0138] It should be noted that the above-mentioned limit member 306 can be in various forms to achieve the movement limitation of the first force storage module 305, the hard needle slider 303 or the two-link rod. Those skilled in the art can set the structure of the limit member 306 as needed. The structure and function of the limit member 306 are explained below with three embodiments.
[0139] In some embodiments, in combination with Figures 7, 8 and 9, the needle-assisting device 30 and the driving device 20 are arranged horizontally, the limiting member can be a limiting plate 306, and the second connecting rod 3042 is provided with a slot adapted to the limiting plate 306. The movement of the second connecting rod 3042 is limited by the cooperation between the limiting plate 306 and the slot. Specifically, in the initial state, the limiting plate 306 is lifted by the push rod 3071, thereby engaging with the slot of the second connecting rod 3042, thereby suppressing the first force storage module 305 by limiting the second connecting rod 3042; when the trigger rod 3072 passes the limiting surface of the ratchet 204, driving the push rod 3071 to rotate, the limiting plate 306 falls and disengages from the second connecting rod 3042, and the movement of the second connecting rod 3042 is no longer restricted, thereby the first force storage module 305 disengages from the limit and is released, driving the second connecting rod 3042 and the first connecting rod 3041 to rotate, and then driving the hard needle slider 303 and the soft needle slider 302 to slide, completing the needle-assisting process.
[0140] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 10 and 11 , the needle-assisting device 30 and the driving device 20 are arranged longitudinally, and the limiting member can be a first limiting rod 306. One end of the first limiting rod is fixed to the base plate 10 via a pin and can rotate about the pin. The first limiting rod limits the movement of the hard needle slider 303. Specifically, in the initial state, the other end of the first limiting rod is lifted by the push rod 3071, thereby abutting against the hard needle slider 303. This limits the position of the hard needle slider 303 and suppresses the first force storage module 305. When the trigger rod 3072 passes the limiting surface of the ratchet 204, it drives the push rod 3071 to rotate. At this time, the first limiting rod rotates, and the hard needle slider 303 is released from the limit of the first limiting rod. As a result, the first force storage module 305 is released from the limit and drives the second connecting rod 3042 and the first connecting rod 3041 to rotate, which in turn drives the hard needle slider 303 and the soft needle slider 302 to slide, completing the needle-assisting process.
[0141] In some embodiments, in combination with what is shown in FIG12 , the needle-assisting device 30 and the driving device 20 are longitudinally arranged, and the limiting member may include a second limiting rod 306 and a limiting pressure plate 3061. One end of the second limiting rod is fixed to the base plate 10 through a pin shaft, and one end of the limiting pressure plate is fixed to the track pressure plate 301. A limiting groove is provided on the limiting pressure plate, and the limiting groove is used to limit the movement of the hard needle slider 303. Specifically, in the initial state, the other end of the second limiting rod is lifted by the push rod 3071, thereby abutting against the limiting pressure plate. At this time, the limiting groove limits the hard needle slider 303, and the hard needle slider 303 cannot move, thereby achieving the suppression of the first force storage module 305 by limiting the hard needle slider 303; when the trigger rod 3072 passes the limiting surface of the ratchet 204, driving the push rod 3071 to rotate, the second limiting rod rotates at this time, and the limiting pressure plate is disengaged from the contact with the hard needle slider 303, thereby the first force storage module 305 is disengaged from the limit and released, driving the second connecting rod 3042 and the first connecting rod 3041 to rotate, and then driving the hard needle slider 303 and the soft needle slider 302 to slide, completing the needle-assisting process.
[0142] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 13, the needle-assisting device 30 and the driving device 20 are arranged longitudinally, including a limiting plate 306, one end of which is fixed on the base plate 10, and the trigger rod 307 is constrained on the base plate 10. A limiting groove is provided on the limiting plate, and the limiting groove is used to limit the movement of the hard needle slider 303. Specifically, in the initial state, one end of the trigger rod 307 is against the limiting groove, and the other end is limited by the ratchet. At this time, the limiting groove limits the hard needle slider 303, and the hard needle slider 303 cannot move. The first force storage module 305 is suppressed by limiting the hard needle slider 303; when the other end of the trigger rod passes over the limiting surface of the ratchet 204 and rotates, the limiting groove is disengaged from the contact with the hard needle slider 303, and the first force storage module 305 is disengaged from the limit and released, driving the second connecting rod 3042 and the first connecting rod 3041 to rotate, and then driving the hard needle slider 303 and the soft needle slider 302 to slide, completing the needle-assisting process.
[0143] It can be understood that when the drug injection system provided in this embodiment is working, the liquid storage tank is first injected with liquid medicine, and then the driving device works to expel the air in the catheter. After a period of time, the needle removal module is triggered to complete the needle assistance, and then the driving device continues to work to complete the injection through the catheter.
[0144] The drug injection system provided in this embodiment adopts a driving mode in which a ratchet screw cooperates with each other, has a high degree of integration, reduces manufacturing costs and energy consumption, reduces weight, and is easy to use and carry; adopts a drug injection detection module, and the output is more stable, direct, and reliable, which is conducive to precise control of the patient's drug injection volume; the needle-assisting device assists the needle subcutaneously, the hard needle automatically rebounds, and the soft needle remains subcutaneously, which reduces the number of needle punctures, reduces the risk of infection, and has good antibacterial and sealing properties.
[0145] In this application, the term "plurality" refers to two or more, unless expressly limited otherwise.
