[0018] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0019] Embodiment 1:

[0020] like Figure 1As shown, the insulin pen with auxiliary use function includes a pen body 1 and a pen cap 2. The pen body 1 is provided with a monitoring device 3 for monitoring the effectiveness of insulin. The pen cap 2 is provided with an auxiliary use device 4. The auxiliary use device 4 includes a mounting column 17 and a voice announcer 5 and a control switch 6 arranged on the mounting column 17.

[0021] To elaborate further, the auxiliary device 4 is detachably connected to the end of the pen cap 2 away from the pen barrel 1; after the patient has used the auxiliary device 4 for a period of time and gradually becomes familiar with the operation process, the auxiliary device 4 can be removed at this time to reduce the overall volume and weight and increase portability.

[0022] To be more specific, a threaded groove 7 is provided at one end of the pen cap 2 away from the pen body 1, and a threaded column 8 for screwing into the threaded groove 7 is provided on the mounting column 17; the threaded connection is easy to operate, and can be held and rotated by hand during disassembly and assembly, and the connection is secure.

[0023] To elaborate further, a graphic prompt device 9 is provided on the mounting column 17; the graphic prompt device 9 records graphic instructions of the use process, which, combined with the voice broadcast, can greatly improve the auxiliary effect, so that the patient can master the use of the insulin pen more clearly and quickly.

[0024] To further elaborate, the graphic prompt device 9 includes a flexible graphic prompt strip 10 and a pulling strip 11 arranged at one end of the graphic prompt strip 10, a cavity is opened inside the mounting column 17 and a spring is installed in the cavity, a strip opening 12 connected to the cavity is opened on the mounting column 17, one end of the graphic prompt strip 10 away from the pulling strip 11 extends from the strip opening 12 and is fixedly connected to the rotating end of the spring; the graphic prompt strip 10 is made of a cloth sheet, and the use process is drawn on the cloth sheet, a rotating shaft is arranged inside the cavity, and the inner end of the spring, that is, the fixed end, is fixed on the rotating shaft, and the graphic prompt strip 10 is wound up by storing and releasing force of the spring, which is a commonly used winding structure, so it is not marked in the attached figure, and the pulling strip 11 makes it convenient for the patient to hold the graphic prompt strip 10 by hand and pull it out.

[0025] To be more specific, the length of the pulling strip 11 is greater than the length of the strip-shaped opening 12; such a configuration can play a limiting role and prevent the pulling strip 11 from retracting into the cavity.

[0026] To further explain, the monitoring device 3 includes a mounting block 13 and a display screen 14, a timing button 15 and an alarm light 16 arranged on the mounting block 13; a single-chip microcomputer is arranged inside the mounting block 13, and the single-chip microcomputer integrates a signal processor. The single-chip microcomputer is responsible for timing and controlling the alarm light 16. The timing button 15 is provided with two buttons, one for increasing the number of days and the other for decreasing the number of days. After the time is set, the time will be displayed on the display screen 14. When the insulin is within the effective time, the alarm light 16 displays a green light. When the insulin is about to expire, such as only one day left, the alarm light 16 displays a red light to remind the user.

[0027] In addition, a trigger and a wireless network module are also provided in the pen 1. The trigger and the wireless network module establish a signal connection with the single-chip microcomputer through the control circuit. The trigger is connected to the injection button of the pen 1 to convert the injection action into an electrical signal and transmit it to the single-chip microcomputer. The wireless network module can choose to use a 4G communication module or a 5G communication module. The injection button trigger times and trigger time and other data can be transmitted to the cloud server through the wireless network module. The family members of the insulin pen users can log in to the cloud server through a handheld smart terminal (such as a mobile phone, a smart watch) to view the injection records of the corresponding insulin pen, so as to realize more convenient and accurate monitoring of the injection situation of the insulin pen users.

[0028] Embodiment 2:

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment is based on the technical content of Embodiment 1, and the technical differences between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 are:

[0030] The pen body 1 and the pen cap 2 are connected by a connecting wire 18, one end of the connecting wire 18 is fixed on the pen cap 2, and a ring 19 is provided at the other end of the connecting wire 18. The pen body 1 is provided with an annular groove 20 for the ring 19 to be inserted into; the setting of the connecting wire 18 can avoid the loss of the pen cap 2. In this embodiment, the connecting wire 18 is made of a spring wire, which can be stretched after the pen cap 2 is opened, so that the pen cap 2 can be moved away from the pen body 1 at a farther distance without interfering with normal use. The ring 19 is made of a flexible material such as silicone, and can also be removed from the annular groove 20 on the arm according to usage requirements to completely detach the pen cap 2.
