[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the indwelling needle of this embodiment includes a catheter seat 1, a catheter 2, an isolation plug 3, a protective tube 4, a needle seat 5, a puncture needle 6, a needle holding handle 7, a reset spring 8 and a needle guard cap. Among them, the catheter 2 is installed at the front end of the catheter seat 1, the needle guard cap is arranged outside the catheter 2, the isolation plug 3 is installed in the catheter seat 1, and the infusion end 11 of the catheter seat 1 is located between the catheter 2 and the isolation plug 3. The wall of the protective tube 4 is provided with an axially extending guide hole 41 and a limiting hole 42 extending circumferentially from the front end of the guide hole 41. The needle seat 5 is arranged in the protective tube 4, and the front end of the needle seat 5 extends out of the protective tube 4 and is plugged into the rear end of the catheter seat 1. The needle seat 5 can slide axially and rotate circumferentially relative to the protective tube 4. The rear end of the puncture needle 6 is connected to the needle seat 5, and the front end of the puncture needle 6 passes through the isolation plug 3 and the catheter 2 in turn. The needle holding handle 7 is connected to the needle seat 5 through the limiting hole 42. The return spring 8 is sleeved on the needle seat 5 and elastically presses between the front end of the protective tube 4 and the rear end of the needle seat 5, so as to drive the needle seat 5 to move backward to pull out the puncture needle 6 after the needle holding handle 7 slides from the limiting hole 42 into the guide hole 41.

[0023] This embodiment utilizes a return spring 8 to automatically drive the needle holder 5 to move backward along the protective sleeve 4, eliminating the need for manual pulling of the puncture needle 6. This eliminates the instability and risk of manual needle removal, making it safer, more reliable, more convenient, and faster. After the puncture needle 6 is fully retracted into the protective sleeve 4, the protective sleeve 4 can provide a certain degree of protection, preventing the puncture needle 6 from injuring medical personnel.

[0024] The needle hub 5 of this embodiment can be inserted into the rear end of the catheter hub 1 by interference fit or snap fit, so that the needle hub 5 can be directly pulled out of the catheter hub 1 under the action of the return spring 8.

[0025] In this embodiment, the front end outer wall of the needle hub 5 is provided with a plurality of circumferentially arranged, axially extending ridges 52. The rear end inner wall of the catheter hub 1 is correspondingly provided with a plurality of slots 12 for receiving the ridges 52. The ridges 52 and slots 12 restrict circumferential rotation of the needle hub 5 relative to the catheter hub 1. This eliminates the risk of the needle hub 5 rotating and causing the puncture needle 6 to puncture a blood vessel when the protective sleeve 4 is rotated to slide the needle handle 7 from the retaining hole 42 into the guide hole 41, further improving the safety of the indwelling needle.

[0026] The protective sleeve 4 of this embodiment comprises an outer sleeve 43 and an inner sleeve 44 that is slidably inserted within the outer sleeve 43, with its rear end extending outward from the outer sleeve 43. Both the outer sleeve 43 and the inner sleeve 44 are provided with a guide hole 41 and a stop hole 42, with the guide hole 41 of the outer sleeve 43 extending rearward through the outer sleeve 43. The needle holder 5 is slidably inserted within the inner sleeve 44, with its front end extending outward from the outer sleeve 43. The needle handle 7 passes through the guide holes 41 of the outer sleeve 43 and the inner sleeve 44, respectively, and is connected to the rear end of the needle holder 5. A return spring 8 is elastically pressed between the front end of the outer sleeve 43 and the rear end of the needle holder 5.

[0027] The protective tube 4 of this embodiment adopts a folding design. The inner tube 44 can be retracted into and extended from the outer tube 43, so that when the puncture needle 6 is inserted into the catheter 2, the overall volume of the protective tube 4 becomes smaller, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the indwelling needle.

[0028] Specifically, the inner cylinder 44 of this embodiment includes an inner cylinder body 441 having a hollow interior and an open front end, and a front outer flange ring 442 circumferentially extending outward from the front end of the inner cylinder body 441. The outer cylinder 43 of this embodiment includes an outer cylinder body 431 having a hollow interior and open ends, a front inner flange ring 432 circumferentially extending inward from the front end of the outer cylinder body 431, and a rear inner flange ring 433 circumferentially extending inward from the rear end of the outer cylinder body 431. The rear end of the needle hub 5 of this embodiment has a rear outer flange ring 51 circumferentially extending outward.

[0029] The inner diameter a of the front inner flange ring 432 is smaller than the inner diameter φ1 of the inner cylinder 441 and serves to position the inner cylinder 44 and the return spring 8. To allow the needle hub 5 to retract into the protective sleeve 4, the inner diameter a of the front inner flange ring 432 must be larger than the outer diameter φ2 of the needle hub. This is because the front end of the needle hub 5 is provided with a ridge 52. If the needle hub 5 does not have the ridge 52, the inner diameter a of the front inner flange ring 432 can be equal to the outer diameter φ2 of the needle hub. The inner diameter b of the rear inner flange ring 433 is smaller than the outer diameter c of the front outer flange ring 442 and is greater than or equal to the outer diameter φ3 of the inner cylinder 441, thereby preventing the inner cylinder 44 from separating from the outer cylinder 43.

[0030] In this embodiment, the rear end of the inner cylinder 44 is inserted into the rear inner flange ring 433 , the front end of the needle seat 5 is inserted into the front inner flange ring 432 , and the return spring 8 elastically presses between the front inner flange ring 432 and the rear outer flange ring 51 .

[0031] In order to prevent blood backflow, a one-way valve 9 is provided in the catheter adapter 1 in this embodiment. The one-way valve 9 is located between the catheter 2 and the infusion end 11 and is used to allow liquid to flow in one direction from the infusion end 11 to the catheter 2 .

[0032] Specifically, the one-way valve 9 includes at least two leaflets 91 with edges that can be closed. One end of the leaflet 91 is fixedly connected to the catheter seat 1, and the other end extends toward the catheter 2. When the liquid flows from the infusion end 11 toward the catheter 2, the leaflet 91 separates. When the liquid flows from the catheter 2 toward the infusion end 11, the leaflet 91 remains closed.

[0033] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: in the initial state, the puncture needle 6 is inserted into the catheter 2, the needle holding handle 7 is limited in the limiting hole 42, the return spring 8 is compressed, and the inner tube 44 is retracted into the outer tube 43. When the puncture needle 6 needs to be removed, one hand holds the catheter holder 1, and the other hand rotates the protective tube 4, so that the needle holding handle 7 slides from the limiting hole 42 into the guide hole 41. The return spring 8 drives the needle holder 5 and the inner tube 44 to move backward together until the front outer flange ring 442 of the inner tube 44 abuts the rear inner flange ring 433 of the outer tube 43, driving the needle holder 5 in the inner tube 44 to move backward to the rear end of the inner tube 44, thus completely retracting the puncture needle 6 into the protective tube 4.

[0034] Although the present invention has been specifically shown and described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims.
