[0029] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0033] Subretinal drug delivery has become an effective method. Current technology involves subretinal injection needles consisting of a fixed-length metal tube and an extension tube, which are manually inserted and injected to locate the drug. Because subretinal injection requires extremely high accuracy in determining the optimal injection site, it demands exceptional skill and precise hand control from the operator. Improper operation can lead to complications such as retinal detachment and hemorrhage, or damage to structures from the anterior to posterior segments of the eye, posing significant medical risks.

[0034] To address the aforementioned problems, this embodiment provides an injection device, see reference. Figure 1 and Figure 2 It includes a housing 10, an adjusting component 20, a needle tube 30, and an extension tube 40.

[0035] Specifically, the housing 10 extends along a first direction and is hollow inside. An opening 11 is provided on the peripheral wall of the housing 10 along the first direction. A plurality of slots 12 are provided on the inner wall of the housing 10 along its circumference. A first through hole is provided at the first end of the housing 10. In this embodiment, the housing 10 is configured as a variable-diameter cylinder, with the smaller diameter cylinder serving as the operating position and the larger diameter cylinder as the gripping position. The opening 11 is located at the operating position. The slots 12 can be arranged around the inner wall of the housing 10, or they can be located on the inner wall of the housing 10 opposite to the opening 11. In this embodiment, the slots 12 are V-shaped grooves.

[0036] Furthermore, the adjusting member 20 includes a locking portion 21, which enters the housing 10 through the opening 11 and engages with one of the slots 12. The locking portion 21 can engage with different slots 12, thereby causing the adjusting member 20 to change position along the first direction. Specifically, the locking portion 21 is a rod, and its end is provided with a V-shaped tip. Specifically, the width of the opening 11 is the same as the width of the locking portion 21 to limit the offset of the locking portion 21 during movement.

[0037] Specifically, the adjusting member 20 also includes a push-pull portion 22, which extends from the opening 11 and is positioned outside the housing 10. Applying force to the push-pull portion 22 can move the adjusting member 20 along a first direction. In this embodiment, the push-pull portion 22 is configured as an arc-shaped plate, and the operator pushes and pulls the arc-shaped plate by placing their fingers on it. In other embodiments, the push-pull portion 22 can be configured as a rod. In other embodiments, the push-pull portion 22 can be driven by an electric push rod, improving the automation level of the injection device. In this embodiment, the locking portion 21 and the push-pull portion 22 are perpendicular to each other.

[0038] Furthermore, the needle tube 30 is disposed at the first end of the housing 10 along the first direction and communicates with the interior of the housing 10 through the first through hole; the extension tube 40 is inserted into the needle tube 30 and connected to the adjusting member 20, and the adjustment member 20 can adjust the length of the extension tube 40 extending out of the needle tube 30 by changing its position. Specifically, the needle tube 30 has a standard outer diameter size, such as 23G, 25G, etc.

[0039] In actual operation, the needle 30 first enters the eyeball, and after reaching the designated position, the extension tube 40 is pushed out from the end of the needle 30 by the adjusting member 20, precisely extending under the retina for injection. The adjusting member 20 is adjusted in stages by engaging with different slots 12 through the locking part 21, thereby driving the extension tube 40 to adjust in stages. Changing the interval between the slots 12 changes the adjustment distance of the extension tube 40, making the extension tube 40 extend more precisely from the needle 30, reducing the difficulty of subretinal injection technology and improving its safety.

[0040] Furthermore, the injection device also includes a liquid conduit 50. A second through-hole is provided at the second end of the housing 10, through which the liquid conduit 50 enters the interior of the housing 10 and connects to the adjusting member 20. The extension tube 40 communicates with the liquid conduit 50. Specifically, the first and second through-holes are coaxial. In this embodiment, the injection device also includes a connecting tube 60, which is disposed on the adjusting member 20. Both ends of the connecting tube 60 are connected to the extension tube 40 and the liquid conduit 50, respectively.

[0041] Specifically, the diameter of the extension tube 40 is smaller than the diameter of the liquid pipeline 50, and the connecting tube 60 is a reducer. The ends of both the extension tube 40 and the liquid pipeline 50 are placed inside the connecting tube 60 and are tightly fitted against its inner wall. The reducing tube 60 provides a buffer when liquid is transported through the liquid pipeline 50, reducing the pressure when liquid enters the extension tube 40. In other embodiments, the extension tube 40 can be directly inserted into the end of the liquid pipeline 50, and a rubber gasket can be placed between the extension tube 40 and the liquid pipeline 50 to prevent liquid leakage.

[0042] In this embodiment, the adjusting member 20 is provided with a connecting hole along the first direction, and the connecting tube 60 is placed in the connecting hole and has an interference fit with the connecting hole. In other embodiments, the connecting tube 60 and the adjusting member 20 can be glued together, etc. Specifically, the connecting hole is provided in the snap-fit ​​portion 21. Further, in order to increase the reliability of the interference fit between the connecting tube 60 and the adjusting member 20, the snap-fit ​​portion 21 is set as a stepped cylinder, and the depth of the connecting hole along the first direction is equal to the maximum diameter of the snap-fit ​​portion 21.

[0043] Furthermore, since the liquid pipeline 50 moves with the adjusting member 20, a partition is provided inside the housing 10 to increase support for the liquid pipeline 50. The partition divides the interior of the housing 10 into a first cavity and a second cavity. The adjusting member 20 is located in the first cavity. A third through hole is provided through the partition, through which the liquid pipeline 50 passes and connects to the adjusting member 20. The sidewall of the third through hole not only supports the liquid pipeline 50 but also restricts its movement along the first direction to prevent deviation, thus preventing the liquid pipeline 50 from disengaging from the connecting pipe 60. In this embodiment, the second and third through holes have the same diameter and are both clearance-fitted with the liquid pipeline 50.

[0044] Furthermore, the free end of the liquid line 50 is equipped with a 6% Luer conical connector structure 70 for connection with a standard syringe, improving the versatility and compatibility of the injection device. It should be noted that since the 6% Luer conical connector structure 70 is a well-established technology, its structure and connection principle will not be described here.

[0045] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
