[0003] First, medical bone cement and other materials belong to typical high viscosity non-newtonian fluid, and the viscosity increases rapidly with the solidification time, when using ordinary straight push type injector, the fluid flows through small needle and generates greater back pressure, and medical staff must exert great thumb pushing force to extrude medicine.

[0004] Second, due to the exertion of greater muscle strength, physiological tremor of hand is inevitable, and in delicate microsurgery, the coating range is usually in millimeter level, and slight shaking of hand easily leads to medicine overflow and pollution of surrounding tissue, even fragile nerves or blood vessels are damaged due to instantaneous injection pressure being too large, and the operation risk is increased.

[0005] Third, although the introduction of screw transmission mechanism can reduce the demand of pushing force, but the conventional screw mechanism leads to slow moving speed of push rod, and in the operation process, when the medicine needs to be replaced or resucked, the operator needs to rotate reversely for hundreds of times to reset the piston, and the low reset efficiency seriously drags the operation process and increases the anesthesia waiting time of patient.

Detailed Implementation

[0035] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0036] In the clinical medical field, especially in surgical scenarios such as minimally invasive orthopedic surgery, neurosurgical repair, or dental filling, in order to overcome the high back pressure generated by medical bone cement or other high-viscosity biomaterials with non-Newtonian fluid properties during micro-injection, and at the same time reduce the impact of operator hand tremors on surgical accuracy, this embodiment provides a labor-saving syringe for high-viscosity drugs.

[0037] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The core support structure of the labor-saving syringe is the main shell 1, which contains an elliptical liquid reservoir 11. To directly push the fluid and prevent the moving parts from spinning idly, an elliptical piston 2 is slidably fitted inside the liquid reservoir 11. Because both the inner wall of the main shell 1 and the piston 2 have non-circular geometric cross-sections, the piston 2 is strictly limited to axial translational movement and cannot rotate circumferentially. Furthermore, a mandrel screw 3 is rigidly connected to the proximal end of the piston 2, giving the mandrel screw 3 the same axial movement freedom, without rotation. To construct the product... The device generates a differential kinematic chain with high mechanical gain. It includes a sleeve screw 4 coaxially covering the outside of the mandrel screw 3. The sleeve screw 4 is composed of two semi-cylindrical screws 41 joined together, and has a double thread interface: its outer surface has a first external thread with a large first lead value (e.g., 1.0 mm); its inner surface has a first internal thread with a smaller second lead value (e.g., 0.8 mm). In order to drive the entire system and control the opening and closing of the nut, a split nut assembly 5 is installed near the main housing 1, which includes two threaded sliders 51. The inner side of the slider has a second internal thread that mates with the first external thread.

[0038] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 7 In order to give the sleeve screw 4 a radial opening tendency to facilitate reset, the two semi-cylindrical screws 41 are connected by an elastic connector 42.

[0039] The specific connection method is as follows: slots 411 extending axially are respectively provided on the outer walls of the two semi-cylindrical screws 41, and matching inserts 421 are provided at both ends of the elastic connector 42; by sliding the inserts 421 into the interior of the two slots 411 in a direction parallel to the axial direction of the sleeve screw 4, the sliding connection between the elastic connector 42 and the screw body is realized; the elastic connector 42 is configured to have a pre-tension force, always attempting to push the two semi-cylindrical screws 41 radially outward.

[0040] refer to Figure 3 To ensure the thread accuracy after splicing, a guide post 412 is provided on the splicing surface of one of the semi-cylindrical screws 41, and a guide hole 413 is provided at the corresponding position of the other semi-cylindrical screw 41. When the guide post 412 is inserted into the guide hole 413 to achieve plug-in engagement, the relative position of the two semi-cylindrical bodies is precisely locked, thereby ensuring that the thread trajectory on the surface of the sleeve screw 4 is continuous and without misalignment.

[0041] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 7To facilitate user operation and rotation, each semi-cylindrical screw 41 has a semi-cylindrical knob 431 integrally formed at its top. When two semi-cylindrical screws 41 are spliced ​​together, the two semi-cylindrical knobs 431 are also closed, forming a complete injection knob 43. The user can drive the sleeve screw 4 by rotating the injection knob 43.

[0042] refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The opening and closing action of the two threaded sliders 51 is uniformly controlled by the adjusting screw 12; the adjusting screw 12 passes through the main housing 1, and its main structure includes two threaded rod segments 121 with opposite directions of rotation (for example, one segment is a left-hand thread and the other segment is a right-hand thread), and each threaded rod segment 121 is threadedly connected to a threaded slider 51.

[0043] Furthermore, one end of the adjusting screw 12 extends to the outside of the housing and is connected to an opening and closing knob 122, which the user can drive by rotating the opening and closing knob 122.

[0044] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 To ensure the stability of the slider's movement, the main housing 1 is provided with a guide bar 13 with a T-shaped cross-section. Correspondingly, the threaded slider 51 is provided with a guide groove 52 with a T-shaped cross-section. The threaded slider 51 forms a sliding connection with the main housing 1 through the cooperation of the guide bar 13 and the guide groove 52, thereby restricting the slider's other degrees of freedom except for radial movement.

[0045] To prevent thread seizing under high loads and extend service life, the sleeve screw 4 and the mandrel screw 3 are made of dissimilar materials; preferably, the mandrel screw 3 is made of stainless steel, while the sleeve screw 4 is made of high-performance engineering plastics (such as PEEK) or brass.

[0046] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0047] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 During injection, the user rotates the opening / closing knob 122, which drives the two threaded sliders 51 to move inward along the guide bar 13 and close and lock them in place via the adjusting screw 12. At this time, the operator rotates the injection knob 43, and the sleeve screw 4 is driven forward spirally relative to the main housing 1 by the split nut assembly 5. On the other hand, due to the rotation and forward movement of the sleeve screw 4, the internal non-rotating mandrel screw 3 is forced to retract backward relative to the sleeve screw 4. Through the above differential motion, the piston 2 achieves a high-precision micro-injection.

[0048] refer to Figure 7When a reset is required, the user rotates the opening and closing knob 122 in the opposite direction, and the adjusting screw 12 drives the two threaded sliders 51 to separate radially outward along the guide bar 13. Once the outer constraint is released, the inner sleeve screw 4 automatically expands radially under the action of the elastic connector 42, causing the threads to disengage. At this time, the operator can pinch the injection knob 43 by hand to pull the sleeve screw 4 axially back to reset, and directly pull the mandrel screw 3 to complete the reinstallation. Finally, the opening and closing knob 122 is rotated again to lock the mechanism and restore the injection state.

[0049] The above embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or equivalent substitutions to this utility model within its substance and scope of protection, and such modifications or equivalent substitutions should also be considered as falling within the scope of protection of this utility model.
