[0001] This utility model relates to the field of insulin needle technology, and in particular to an insulin needle removal tool. Background Technology

[0002] Insulin injections, also known as insulin injection solutions, are medical devices used to regulate blood sugar levels. They control blood sugar in diabetic patients by injecting insulin.

[0003] Insulin needles are typically designed with the needle tip and cap connected together, and the cap and needle body are detachably connected. The needles are also disposable. After injecting insulin into a patient, the used needle usually needs to be disassembled and discarded. Currently, medical staff disassemble the needles by hand, which poses a safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this invention is to provide an insulin needle removal tool, which is designed to facilitate the removal of insulin needles and reduce the safety hazards associated with manually removing insulin needles.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes an insulin needle removal tool, comprising a main body, a pressing component, and an elastic component. The main body has a built-in receiving cavity for holding the insulin needle cap. A through hole is provided at the bottom of the receiving cavity, and a limiting groove is provided at the through hole. The pressing component is installed in the limiting groove, with a portion extending into the receiving cavity from the through hole and a portion protruding outside the main body. The elastic component is sleeved on the pressing component, with one end abutting against the side wall of the limiting groove near the receiving cavity, and the other end abutting against the pressing component. When the insulin needle cap is removed, pressing the pressing component pushes the insulin needle cap and needle out of the receiving cavity.

[0006] Optionally, the inner wall of the receiving cavity is provided with a plurality of slots, which are spaced apart along the arc surface of the receiving cavity to match the protrusions on the outer surface of the insulin needle cap.

[0025] This utility model proposes an insulin needle removal tool 100.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-3 In one embodiment of this utility model, the insulin needle removal tool 100 includes a main body 10, a pressing member 20, and an elastic member 23. The main body 10 has a built-in receiving cavity 11 for holding the insulin needle cap. The bottom of the receiving cavity 11 has a through hole, and a limiting groove 13 is formed at the through hole. The pressing member 20 is installed in the limiting groove 13, with a part extending into the receiving cavity 11 from the through hole and a part protruding outside the main body 10. The elastic member 23 is sleeved on the pressing member 20, with one end abutting against the side wall of the limiting groove 13 near the receiving cavity 11, and the other end abutting against the pressing member 20. When the insulin needle cap is removed, pressing the pressing member 20 pushes the insulin needle cap and needle out of the receiving cavity 11.

[0027] In this embodiment, both the main body 10 and the pressing member 20 are cylindrical. Both can be 3D printed using PETG (polyethylene terephthalate) material, or they can be manufactured by injection molding, making the overall structure lightweight and easy to carry. The elastic member 23 can be a conventional spring, but is not limited to it. Under the elastic force of the elastic member 23, the elastic member 23 presses against the pressing member 20, ensuring that it is always exposed on the upper surface of the main body 10.

[0028] In one embodiment of the present invention, the inner wall of the receiving cavity 11 is provided with a plurality of slots 12. The slots 12 are spaced apart along the arc surface of the receiving cavity 11 and are used to match the protrusions on the outer surface of the insulin needle cap. When the insulin needle cap is inserted into the receiving cavity 11, rotating the main body 10 can drive the insulin needle cap to rotate together.

[0029] In this embodiment, the orientation of the slot 12 is consistent with the direction of the central axis of the receiving cavity 11. It can be understood that multiple slots 12 are spaced apart and cooperate with the insulin needle cap. The inner diameter of the receiving cavity 11 is set according to the size of the practical insulin needle cap, so that the insulin needle cap can be just inserted into the receiving cavity 11. Furthermore, the protrusions around the insulin needle cap are inserted into the slot 12, so that rotating the main body 10 can drive the insulin needle cap to rotate together. Similarly, when rotating the insulin needle body, the insulin needle cap is restricted from rotating by the main body 10, so that the insulin needle cap and the needle body rotate relative to each other, and the insulin needle cap can be detached, which can reduce the safety hazards of removing the insulin needle tip by hand.

[0030] In one embodiment of the present invention, the pressing member 20 is provided with a limiting platform 21, the limiting platform 21 is located in the limiting groove 13, one end of the elastic member abuts against the side wall of the limiting groove 13 near the receiving cavity 11, and the other end abuts against the limiting platform 21.

[0031] In this embodiment, the inner diameter of the limiting groove 13 is larger than the inner diameter of the through hole, and the corresponding diameter of the limiting platform 21 is larger than the diameter of the pressing member 20. It is understood that when the limiting platform 21 is engaged in the limiting groove 13, the pressing member 20 will not detach from the main body 10 during movement. In the initial state, under the elastic force of the elastic member 23, the limiting platform 21 always abuts against the top of the limiting groove 13, ensuring that the pressing member 20 remains exposed outside the main body 10. When the pressing member 20 is pressed, the limiting platform 21 moves within the limiting groove 13, compressing the elastic member 23, and the lower end of the pressing member 20 extends into the receiving cavity 11, pushing the disassembled insulin needle cap out of the receiving cavity 11. After releasing the pressing member 20, the elastic force of the elastic member 23 returns, pushing the pressing member 20 back to its initial position.

[0032] In one embodiment of the present invention, the pressing member 20 has a groove 22 at one end of the receiving cavity 11. When the insulin needle cap is placed into the receiving cavity 11, the insulin needle tip extends into the groove 22, so that the insulin needle cap abuts against the pressing member 20.

[0033] In this embodiment, the depth of the groove 22 is greater than the length of the insulin needle, so that the insulin needle will not come into contact with the pressing member 20 when the insulin needle is disassembled, thus avoiding contamination of the pressing member 20 by the insulin needle.

[0034] In one embodiment of this utility model, the main body 10 is provided with a handle 30, which makes it convenient for people to use their hands to fix the main body 10. When using it, one hand holds the handle 30 to fix the main body 10 still, and then the insulin needle cap is inserted into the receiving cavity 11, so that the protrusion on the insulin needle cap is locked into the slot 12. Then the insulin needle body is rotated until the insulin needle body is completely separated from the needle cap. Then the pressing member 20 is pressed, and the pressing member 20 pushes the insulin needle cap and needle tip out of the receiving cavity 11.

[0035] The handle 30 is also provided with a mounting hole 31, on which a lanyard can be attached for easy carrying or storage.

[0036] Working principle: Place the insulin needle cap into the receiving cavity 11, so that the protrusion on the insulin needle cap is engaged in the slot 12. Then, hold the handle 30 to fix the main body 10 still, and rotate the insulin needle with the other hand until the insulin needle body is completely separated from the needle cap. Finally, press the pressing member 20, which pushes the insulin needle cap and needle tip out of the receiving cavity 11, which can reduce the safety hazards of removing the insulin needle tip by hand.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
