[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0023] The utility model provides a retaining needle connector, such as Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, it includes a joint body 1 and a butt sleeve 2.

[0024] One end of the connector body 1 is connected to a needle connecting tube 3 .

[0025] One end of the docking sleeve 2 is connected to the inner side of the other end of the joint body 1, and the inner diameter of the docking sleeve 2 is smaller than the inner diameter of the joint body 1. A positioning bracket 21 is fixedly installed in the docking sleeve 2, and an outer plate 22 and an inner plate 23 are slidably installed in the docking sleeve 2, respectively. The outer plate 22 is located on the side of the positioning bracket 21 away from the joint body 1, and a plurality of leakage holes 221 are opened on the outer plate 22. The inner plate 23 is located on the other side of the positioning bracket 21. A connecting column 231 is connected between the outer plate 22 and the inner plate 23, and a spring 24 is connected between the outer plate 22 and the positioning bracket 21. The spring 24 can provide an elastic force to push the outer plate 22 outward, so as to drive the inner plate 23 to be blocked in the docking sleeve 2 and abut against the positioning bracket 21. Pushing the outer plate 22 toward the joint body 1 can make the inner plate 23 away from the docking sleeve 2 and extend into the joint body 1.

[0026] When the docking sleeve 2 is not in use, the spring 24 pushes the outer plate 22 outward, and the outer plate 22 drives the inner plate 23 through the connecting column 231 to close the end of the docking sleeve 2 close to the connector body 1 to prevent external bacteria from entering the connector body 1. When in use, by connecting the infusion tube to the end of the docking sleeve 2 away from the connector body 1, the outer plate 22 is pushed close to the positioning bracket 21, and then the inner plate 23 is driven to leave the docking sleeve 2 and extend into the connector body 1, so that the internal channel of the docking sleeve 2 is automatically opened to achieve normal infusion operation. It should be noted that the end of the infusion tube and the end of the docking sleeve 2 can be connected by other means such as snap-fit ​​or threaded connection, and the outer plate 22 can be tightened after connection.

[0027] Preferably, a through hole 211 is provided on the positioning bracket 21 , and the connecting column 231 is slidably inserted into the through hole 211 to provide support and positioning for the sliding of the outer plate 22 and the inner plate 23 .

[0028] Furthermore, the positioning bracket 21 is a cross structure, and the through hole 211 is opened at the center position of the positioning bracket 21, which is conducive to ensuring the sliding stability of the outer plate 22 and the inner plate 23.

[0029] In this embodiment, a first sealing ring 222 is provided at the edge of the outer plate 22, and a second sealing ring 232 is provided at the edge of the inner plate 23. The first sealing ring 222 and the second sealing ring 232 are respectively tightly fitted with the inner wall of the docking sleeve 2 to prevent liquid leakage when the inner plate 23 seals the inside of the docking sleeve 2.

[0030] Preferably, the plurality of leakage holes 221 are arranged in a circular shape at equal intervals around the center of the outer plate 22 so that the liquid can flow evenly.

[0031] Specifically, an inner side of one end of the joint body 1 close to the docking sleeve 2 is provided with an internal thread, and an outer side of one end of the docking sleeve 2 close to the joint body 1 is provided with an adaptable external thread, so as to facilitate quick docking and installation of the docking sleeve 2 and the joint body 1.

[0032] When the indwelling needle connector of the utility model is not in use, the connector body 1 is connected to the external thread of the docking sleeve 2 through the internal thread of its end, ensuring that the docking sleeve 2 is firmly installed on the connector body 1. At this time, due to the elastic force of the spring 24, the inner plate 23 is tightly sealed at the port of the docking sleeve 2 to prevent external bacteria or contaminants from entering. The second sealing ring 232 ensures good sealing between the inner plate 23 and the docking sleeve 2.

[0033] When an infusion operation is required, the medical staff aligns the connector of the infusion tube with the docking sleeve 2 for connection, and the connector of the infusion tube applies pressure to the outer plate 22. This pressure causes the outer plate 22 to move against the elastic force of the spring 24, and the connecting column 231 slides in the through hole 211 of the positioning bracket 21, ensuring the stable movement of the inner and outer plates. As the outer plate 22 moves, the inner plate 23 is also driven to slide toward the connector body 1, thereby opening the internal channel of the docking sleeve 2, so that the infusion tube is connected to the connector body 1.

[0034] After the infusion is completed, when the medical staff disconnects the infusion tube from the docking sleeve 2, the outer plate 22 loses the external pressure, and the spring 24 returns to its original state, pushing the outer plate 22 and the inner plate 23 back to the initial closed position. In this way, the connector body 1 is tightly sealed by the inner plate 23 again, ensuring that it is in a sterile state and waiting for the next use.

[0035] The above shows and describes the basic principle, main features and advantages of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only preferred examples of the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, the utility model may have various changes and improvements, which fall within the scope of the utility model to be protected. The scope of protection of the utility model is defined by the attached claims and their equivalents.
