Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a delivery device for insulin needles, and more particularly to a delivery device for guiding and conveying multiple needles. The device uses a needle feeder to transport multiple needles along a delivery channel to a guide rail for alignment before sending them out, thereby achieving the purpose of counting and storing multiple needles. Background Technology

[0002] As living standards improve, people enjoy better quality of life in all aspects, including clothing, food, housing, transportation, and entertainment. However, changes in lifestyle and eating habits, along with the influence of diet, environment, and climate, often lead to physical ailments that cause significant distress. This necessitates seeking medical treatment. After consultation with a doctor at a hospital or clinic, a prescription is issued based on the patient's condition. Patients can then obtain medication directly from the hospital or clinic's pharmacy or from a local pharmacist's pharmacy. This allows patients to relieve their pain and discomfort through medication. However, with the rapid advancements in medical technology and the continuous improvement in medical quality, patients receive increasingly better medical treatments. Furthermore, the variety of medical supplies, medications, and injectable drugs available varies, and their efficacy differs. Therefore, patients must obtain a prescription from a doctor and have it dispensed by a pharmacist to obtain the appropriate medication for optimal treatment.

[0003] Diabetes, one of the most troublesome diseases today, causes metabolic disorders, immune imbalances, and abnormal changes in physical performance. Doctors usually treat it with insulin injections. Currently, commonly used insulin injections are administered using disposable needles, meaning the needles must be discarded and a new needle is used for the next injection. Patients typically need to inject insulin daily, resulting in a considerable number of disposable needles being used. Therefore, when patients receive insulin injections, they must also receive the corresponding number of needles. Before patients can collect the needles, hospitals, clinics, or pharmacies must count and package them before they are available for collection. However, counting and packaging needles must be done manually, which is slow, inefficient, and often results in discrepancies such as too many or too few needles, causing inconvenience for staff and requiring improvement.

[0004] Therefore, how to solve the problems and troubles of manually counting and packaging needles used in current medical insulin injections, and how manual operation can easily lead to incorrect needle counts, causing inconvenience and loss for patients, is the direction that manufacturers in this industry are eager to research and improve.
