The gear ring 44 is installed with a supporting unit 7 for supporting the insulin pen body.

[0040] like Figure 1-5As shown, the main improvement of the utility model is to realize automatic needle removal for the insulin pen, which is convenient to use and reduces risks. When the injection needle at the end of the insulin pen body needs to be removed, the injection needle is inserted into the socket 3 on the separation box 1, and part of the insulin pen body is also inserted into the socket 3, so that the injection needle is moved between the two clamping rings 46.

The drive motor 42 can be powered by a button battery, and the drive motor 42 drives the gear 43 to rotate The gear 43 drives the gear ring 44 to rotate in the separation box 1, and the gear ring 44 drives the two clamping rings 46 to rotate through the connecting rod 45. The clamping ring 46 drives the injection needle to rotate to separate it from the insulin pen. After separation, the insulin pen body is removed from the insertion hole 3. When another injection needle is inserted next time, the injection needle located between the clamping rings 46 after disassembly can be pushed into the storage box 2 for collection. When the injection needles collected in the storage box 2 occupy two-thirds of the interior, the storage box 2 can be rotated to separate it from the separation box 1, and the storage box 2 stored inside it can be cleaned.

[0041] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the inner bottom surface of the separation box 1 is fixedly connected with a mounting sleeve 8, the mounting sleeve 8 is connected with the socket 3, and the inner wall of the mounting sleeve 8 is installed with a pressure sensor 9, and the pressure sensor 9 controls the opening and closing of the driving motor 42; when the injection needle is inserted into the socket 3 on the separation box 1, part of the insulin pen body is also inserted into the socket 3, the inner diameter of the mounting sleeve 8 corresponds to the outer diameter of the insulin pen body, the insulin pen body contacts the switch of the pressure sensor 9, and then the pressure sensor 9 generates a signal, so that the controller of the driving motor 42 starts its work, and realizes automatic needle removal. After the insulin pen body is removed from the mounting sleeve 8, the pressure sensor 9 has no external pressure, and then generates a signal, so that the controller of the driving motor 42 turns it off.

[0042] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the outer wall of the separation box 1 is provided with a clearance groove 10, and the clamping unit 6 includes a fixing rod 61 fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the separation box 1, and the outer wall of the fixing rod 61 is rotatably connected with two staggered and oppositely arranged clamping rods 62, one end of the two clamping rods 62 is passed through the outside of the clearance groove 10, and the parts of the two clamping rods 62 close to the insertion hole 3 are arc-shaped structures, and the two clamping rods 62 clamp the insulin pen body; when the insulin pen body is inserted into the separation box 1 through the insertion hole 3 and the mounting sleeve 8, the two clamping rods 62 that pass through the outside of the clearance groove 10 can be pressed, and the two clamping rods 62 and the fixing rod 61 are rotated, so that the arc-shaped structures on the two clamping rods 62 clamp the outer wall of the insulin pen body, thereby restricting the insulin pen body, and then facilitating the rotation of the injection needle at the end of the insulin pen body when the insulin pen body is in a fixed state to remove the needle, which is convenient for use.

[0043] like Figure 3 , 5 As shown, the two clamping rings 46 are slidably connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod 45, and the pressure unit 5 includes two sliding rods 51 slidably connected to the outer wall of the separation box 1. The two sliding rods 51 are symmetrically distributed and parallel to the connecting rod 45. One end of the sliding rod 51 is rotatably connected to a semicircular ring 52, and the semicircular ring 52 is against the outer wall of the force-bearing rod 47. The outer wall of the semicircular ring 52 is fixedly connected to a plurality of limiting rods 53. The other end of the limiting rod 53 passes through the separation box 1 and is slidably connected thereto. The outer walls of both ends of the separation box 1 are fixedly connected to a threaded inner sleeve 54. The sliding rod 51 passes through the threaded inner sleeve 54, and the outer wall of the sliding rod 51 is fixedly connected to a threaded inner sleeve 54 threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded inner sleeve 54. The needle removal unit 4 further comprises two limiting rings 49 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod 45, and two clamping rings 46 are located between the two limiting rings 49; when the injection needle needs to be removed, the injection needle is passed between the two clamping rings 46, and the limiting rings 49 restrict the two clamping rings 46, so that when the force-bearing rod 47 on the side wall of the clamping ring 46 is driven to rotate by the clamping ring 46, most of the rotation process is kept within the moving range of the inner wall of the semicircular ring 52, and the two sliding rods 51 are moved, and the sliding rod 51 drives the semicircular ring 52 to move, and the semicircular ring 52 drives the limiting rod 53 on its outer wall to slide with the separation box 1, and the limiting rod 53 is on the semicircular ring 5 2 is restricted so that it will not rotate. The semicircular ring 52 contacts the force-bearing rod 47, and the two clamping rings 46 are brought close to each other by the force-bearing rod 47. When the threaded outer sleeve 55 on the outer wall of the slide bar 51 contacts the threaded inner sleeve 54, the slide bar 51 is rotated, and the threaded outer sleeve 55 is threadedly connected with the threaded inner sleeve 54 until the two semicircular rings 52 abut against each other. At this time, the two clamping rings 46 clamp the outer wall of the injection needle with greater strength. The threaded outer sleeve 55 cooperates with the threaded inner sleeve 54 to restrict the slide bar 51 so that the semicircular ring 52 will not move. When the gear ring 44 rotates, the clamping ring 46 is driven to rotate by the connecting rod 45. The clamping ring 46 The injection needle is driven to rotate for needle removal, and during the rotation of the clamping ring 46, the force-bearing rod 47 on the bottom surface thereof is slidably connected to the inner walls of the two semicircular rings 52, so that the semicircular rings 52 are restricted by the force-bearing rod 47, and then the clamping ring 46 keeps clamping the injection needle, so that the clamping ring 46 can stably unscrew the injection needle, ensuring the stability and certainty of needle removal; after the injection needle is removed from the insulin pen body, the threaded outer sleeve 55 can be separated from the threaded inner sleeve 54, and the sliding rod 51 can be pulled outward, so that the semicircular ring 52 can cancel the restriction on the force-bearing rod 47, so that the injection needle can fall from between the two clamping rings 46 into the storage box 2 for collection.

[0044] like Figure 5As shown, the outer walls of the two connecting rods 45 are both sleeved with springs 48, and the springs 48 are located between the two clamping rings 46; when the semicircular ring 52 cancels the restriction on the force-bearing rod 47 by utilizing the elastic force of the springs 48, the two clamping rings 46 can be moved away from each other, thereby facilitating the injection needle to fall into the storage box 2.

[0045] like Figure 4 As shown, the support unit 7 includes a support plate 71 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the gear ring 44, and a through hole 72 is opened in the middle of the upper surface of the support plate 71. The inner diameter of the through hole 72 is larger than the outer diameter of the injection needle, and the support plate 71 blocks the insulin pen body; the insulin pen body drives the injection needle to pass through the through hole 72 on the support plate 71, and the through hole 72 is smaller than the maximum outer diameter of the insulin pen body, so that the support plate 71 supports the insulin pen body, so that the insulin pen body cannot continue to move downward, thereby facilitating the positioning of the injection needle for easy use.

[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, the inner wall of the through hole 72 is rotatably connected to a support sleeve 73 through a bearing, and the support sleeve 73 supports the insulin pen body; the insulin pen body is in contact with the support sleeve 73, and when the gear ring 44 rotates, the support plate 71 on its inner wall follows the rotation, and the support plate 71 rotates on the outer wall of the support sleeve 73, and the support sleeve 73 supports the insulin pen body, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of wear caused by friction between the support plate 71 and the insulin pen body.

[0047] Implementation steps in this embodiment: When the injection needle at the end of the insulin pen body needs to be removed, the injection needle is inserted into the socket 3 and the mounting sleeve 8 on the separation box 1, and part of the insulin pen body is also inserted into the socket 3 and the mounting sleeve 8. The injection needle passes through the perforation 72 on the support plate 71, and the insulin pen body contacts the support sleeve 73. The insulin pen body contacts the switch of the pressure sensor 9 located in the mounting sleeve 8, and then the pressure sensor 9 generates a signal, so that the controller of the drive motor 42 starts its work, and the drive motor 42 drives the gear 43 to rotate The gear 43 drives the gear ring 44 to rotate in the separation box 1, and the gear ring 44 drives the two clamping rings 46 to rotate through the connecting rod 45. At this time, the two clamping rods 62 that pass through the outside of the give way groove 10 can be pressed, and the two clamping rods 62 and the fixed rod 61 rotate, so that the arc structure on the two clamping rods 62 clamps the outer wall of the insulin pen body, thereby restricting the insulin pen body, and moving the two sliding rods 51. The sliding rod 51 drives the semicircular ring 52 to move, and the semicircular ring 52 drives the limiting rod 53 of its outer wall to slide with the separation box 1, and the limiting rod 53 is on the semicircular ring 52 is restricted so that it will not rotate. The semicircular ring 52 contacts the force-bearing rod 47 driven by the clamping ring 46 to rotate, and the two clamping rings 46 are driven by the force-bearing rod 47 to approach each other. When the threaded outer sleeve 55 on the outer wall of the slide bar 51 contacts the threaded inner sleeve 54, the slide bar 51 is rotated, and the threaded outer sleeve 55 is threadedly connected with the threaded inner sleeve 54 until the two semicircular rings 52 abut against each other. At this time, the two clamping rings 46 clamp the outer wall of the injection needle with greater strength, and the threaded outer sleeve 55 cooperates with the threaded inner sleeve 54 to restrict the slide bar 51. The semicircular ring 52 will not move, and the rotation of the clamping ring 46 drives the injection needle to rotate and separate it from the insulin pen; after the injection needle is removed from the insulin pen body, the restriction of the two clamping rods 62 on the insulin pen body is cancelled, the threaded outer sleeve 55 and the threaded inner sleeve 54 are separated, and the sliding rod 51 is pulled outward, so that the semicircular ring 52 cancels the restriction on the force-bearing rod 47, and the elastic force of the spring 48 is used to move the two clamping rings 46 away, so that the injection needle falls into the storage box 2 for storage, and finally the insulin pen body with the injection needle removed is pulled out from the socket 3.

[0048] The driving motor 42 and the pressure sensor 9 mentioned above can be purchased from the market. They are mature technologies and have been fully disclosed, so they will not be repeated in the specification.
