[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.
[0021] An insulin pen needle storage device comprises a storage cylinder, a cylinder upper cover, a cylinder lower cover and a scheduling plate. The storage cylinder has openings at both ends, one end of the opening is a needle outlet, and the other end of the opening is a needle entry port. The cylinder upper cover is sealed at the needle outlet, and the cylinder lower cover is sealed at the needle entry port. The scheduling plate is movably arranged in the cylinder cavity of the storage cylinder. The scheduling plate divides the cylinder cavity of the storage cylinder into a needle outlet cavity and a needle entry cavity. Unused needles can be stored in the needle outlet cavity, and used needles can be stored in the needle entry cavity. At least two guide grooves are provided on the cavity wall of the cylinder cavity of the storage cylinder. The scheduling plate is provided with guide columns corresponding to the guide grooves. The guide columns cooperate with the guide grooves so that the scheduling plate can translate in the cylinder cavity of the storage cylinder. The inner wall of the cylinder cavity of the storage cylinder is a polygonal structure, and the polygonal structure can fit the outer contour of the needle. The storage cylinder is made of transparent plastic. The surface of the cylinder upper cover and the cylinder lower cover are both provided with an assembly step, and the assembly step is tightly matched with the inner wall of the cylinder cavity of the storage cylinder. The outer surface of the storage tube on the needle outlet side is provided with a needle outlet mark.
[0022] The actual usage is as follows:
[0023] When not in use, several unused needles are neatly arranged in the needle outlet cavity of the storage tube. At this time, the scheduling plate is squeezed to the lower cover of the tube. The storage tube is transparent as a whole, while the scheduling plate is colored and non-transparent. At this time, the scheduling plate is located at the top of the scale mark. Assuming that the maximum value of the scale mark is 14, the scheduling plate is located at the value 14, indicating that there are 14 unused needles in the storage tube.
[0024] When installing the needle, open the upper cover of the tube, align the storage tube with the head of the insulin pen, and then rotate the storage tube. At this time, the thread of the needle base will engage with the thread of the head of the insulin pen. Continue to rotate to complete the assembly.
[0025] When removing the needle, open the lower cover of the tube, align the storage tube with the head of the insulin pen, and then rotate the storage tube. At this time, the thread of the needle base of the discarded needle will be disengaged from the thread of the head of the insulin pen. Continue to rotate to complete the disassembly.
[0026] Each time an unused needle is installed, a used discarded needle needs to be removed from the insulin pen, and the discarded needle is inserted into the storage tube from the side of the lower cover of the tube. The unused needle will be squeezed one grid toward the side of the upper cover of the tube through the scheduling plate. For example, there were originally 14 unused needles. After one is installed, there are 13 unused needles left. At this time, the scheduling plate does not move. When the discarded needle is inserted into the storage tube from the side of the lower cover of the tube, the discarded needle will squeeze the scheduling plate to the scale position 13.
[0027] Repeat the above operation, and finally the discarded needles will completely replace the unused needles in the storage tube. After marking on the storage tube, they can be discarded.
[0028] The needle-out mark on the storage tube is mainly used to indicate which side is the unused needle to avoid misuse. For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and the utility model can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic features of the utility model. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive. The scope of the utility model is limited by the attached claims rather than the above description, and it is intended to include all changes within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims in the utility model.
