Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a packaging box, specifically an insulin needle packaging box. Background Technology

[0002] Insulin pens are widely used for blood sugar control. Patients need to change the insulin needle every time they use an insulin pen. Currently, insulin needles are mainly packaged in separate needle boxes, which need to be unsealed individually before use. This method is not easy to store the needles in a centralized manner, nor is it easy to know the number of needles remaining. The needles that need to be discarded after use are not sealed, which can easily cause harm to others. In addition, when disassembling the insulin pen, there is a slight risk of pricking your finger if you are not careful, so it is not very safe to use.

[0003] Currently, a utility model patent with publication number CN214608832U discloses an insulin needle box that facilitates recycling. The box includes a body with an inlet groove at the rear end of the upper wall, a movable plate at the front end, an elastic component on the rear wall, and limiting components fixed on both side walls. Several insulin needles can be neatly placed inside the box. When the movable plate is opened, the elastic component pushes the foremost insulin needle out of the box, while the limiting components prevent the next insulin needle from being pushed out. Placing the insulin needles inside the box facilitates carrying and storage. The limiting components ensure that only one insulin needle can be pushed out at a time. After a needle is used, it must be returned to the box, and the elastic component is required to push out the next needle, thus achieving the recycling of waste needles and effectively protecting the environment.

[0004] As can be seen from the above-disclosed technical content, the utility model with announcement number CN214608832U, as prior art, can achieve the function of the upper limit component of the box to ensure that only one insulin needle can be ejected at a time. At the same time, after an insulin needle is used up, it must be put back into the box, and the next insulin needle can only be ejected from the box under the action of the elastic component, thereby realizing the recycling of waste needles and effectively protecting the environment. However, the patent itself is not a sealed state. When used at home, there is a lot of dust and droplets in the air. The used needles must be refilled into the device, making it difficult to ensure the sterility of the needles. Improper control can easily lead to infection. At the same time, the needles that are taken out must be manually held and screwed onto the insulin pen. Care must be taken during operation, and there is a slight chance of pricking the fingers. It is not very safe to use. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides an insulin needle packaging box, which can ensure that the insulin needle is always in a sterile state and effectively improve the safety when disassembling and assembling insulin pens, and can effectively improve the safety of discarded needles.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an insulin needle packaging box, comprising a packaging cylinder, a control rectangular hole, an ejector plate, an ejector plate body, an ejector rod, a needle box, a cover-type sealing film, a needle box body, a needle box limiting groove, needle retaining grooves, and a rubber sealing barrier. An end handle is fixedly installed at the top of the packaging cylinder, and two control rectangular holes are symmetrically opened on the side of the packaging cylinder. Five to seven needle boxes are connected end to end and inserted from the opening at the bottom of the packaging cylinder. The ejector plate body is attached to the upper part of the topmost needle box, and the ejector rod extending from the side of the ejector plate body extends out from the control rectangular hole.

[0007] In addition, the insulin needle packaging box proposed according to the above embodiments of this utility model may also have the following additional technical features:

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the needle box includes a cover-type sealing film, a needle box body, a needle box limiting groove, and needle retaining patterns. The needle box body has needle retaining patterns on the inner side of its widest part, and a needle box limiting groove is opened on the outer side of the needle box body. The inner wall of the packaging tube corresponding to the needle box limiting groove has strip-shaped protrusions. Five to seven needle box bodies connected end to end are sealed by the cover-type sealing film, and the last needle box body is sealed by a separate circular sealing film.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the needle groove is made of plastic protrusion with a rubber coating on the outside.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the outer surface of the packaging tube is provided with scale lines corresponding to the height of the needle box, and is marked with numbers.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, the lower end of the packaging tube is provided with a rubber sealing barrier.

[0012] By means of the above solution, this utility model has at least the following advantages: Compared with conventional needle boxes, by inserting the needle boxes into the packaging tube in a connected end-to-end manner, users can intuitively understand the remaining number of needles. The needle box limiting groove on the side of the needle box and the needle retaining groove inside the needle box body ensure that insulin needles can be stably placed in the needle box. When installation is required, simply insert the insulin pen connector into the insulin needle and tighten it, then pull it out for use. After use, reinsert the insulin needle into the needle box body and disassemble to complete the use. This can effectively improve the safety of disassembling and assembling insulin pen needles and can effectively improve the safety of discarded needles. At the same time, since the insulin needles are sealed with a cover-type sealing film in the needle box, it can ensure that the insulin needles are always in a sterile state.

[0021] The insulin needle packaging box of this utility model is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] In Embodiment 1 of this application, as Figures 1 to 3As shown, this insulin needle packaging box (hereinafter referred to as "the present invention") includes an end handle 1, a packaging tube 2, a control rectangular hole 3, an ejector plate 4, and a rubber sealing barrier 6. The end handle 1 is fixedly installed at the top of the packaging tube 2. Two control rectangular holes 3 are symmetrically opened on the side of the packaging tube 2. Five to seven needle boxes 5 are connected end to end and inserted from the opening at the bottom of the packaging tube 2. The ejector plate body 41 of the ejector plate 4 is attached to the upper part of the topmost needle box 5. The lever 42 extending from the side of the ejector plate body 41 extends out from the control rectangular hole 3.

[0023] A utility model patent (CN214608832U) discloses a recyclable insulin needle cartridge. This patent utilizes an upper limit stop within the cartridge to ensure that only one insulin needle can be ejected at a time. After use, the needle must be returned to the cartridge, and the next needle can only be ejected under the action of an elastic component, thus achieving needle recycling and effectively protecting the environment. However, this patent is not airtight. In home use, where there is a lot of dust and droplets in the air, and used needles must be refilled, it is difficult to guarantee the sterility of the needles. Improper control can easily lead to infection. Furthermore, the removed needles must be manually held and screwed onto the insulin pen. Handling insulin needles requires caution, as a slight mistake could result in finger injuries, making it somewhat unsafe. This invention, however, utilizes a needle holder groove 53 on the side of the needle holder 5 and a needle retainer 54 within the needle holder body 52 to stably store the insulin needle within the needle holder 5. When installation is needed, simply insert the insulin pen connector into the insulin needle and tighten it, then pull it out. After use, simply reinsert the insulin needle into the needle holder body 52 and disassemble. This completes the disassembly and assembly process without any physical contact with the insulin needle, significantly improving safety during needle insertion and removal, and enhancing the safety of discarded needles. Furthermore, the enclosed membrane 51 within the needle holder 5 ensures the insulin needle remains sterile at all times.

[0024] This second embodiment is basically the same in structure as the first embodiment, the difference being that, as Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the needle box 5 includes a cover-type sealing film 51, a needle box body 52, a needle box limiting groove 53, and a needle retaining groove 54. The needle retaining groove 54 is provided on the inner side of the wide part of the needle box body 52, and the needle box limiting groove 53 is provided on the outer side of the needle box body 52. ​​The inner wall of the packaging tube 2 corresponding to the needle box limiting groove 53 is provided with a strip-shaped protrusion. Five to seven needle box bodies 52 connected end to end are sealed by the cover-type sealing film 51 to seal the previous needle box body 52, and the last needle box body 52 is sealed by a separate circular sealing film.

[0025] To further optimize the working efficiency of this application, and to better hold the insulin needle in place and prevent it from rotating during assembly and disassembly without affecting the removal or insertion of the insulin needle, the needle retainer 54 features a plastic protrusion with an outer rubber layer. For easier counting, the packaging tube 2 has scale lines corresponding to the height of the needle box 5, marked with numbers. To further prevent the needle box 5 from detaching from the packaging tube 2, the lower end of the packaging tube 2 is equipped with a rubber sealing barrier 6.

[0026] When this utility model is used, its specific operation is as follows:

[0027] In use, the user first removes the packaging from the packaging tube 2, holds the end handle 1 with one hand, and manually pushes the lever 42 with the other. The lever 42 drives the lever body 41, which applies pressure to the remaining needle cartridge 5, causing the bottom needle cartridge 5 to detach from the packaging tube 2. Then, the circular or cover-type sealing film 51 of the bottom needle cartridge 5 is torn off, exposing the insulin needle. The insulin pen connector can then be screwed into the insulin needle. Because the needle cartridge limiting groove 53 on the side of the needle cartridge 5 is embedded in the strip or band-shaped protrusion inside the packaging tube 2, it effectively restricts the rotation of the needle cartridge 5. Simultaneously, the needle retaining groove 54 inside the needle cartridge body 52 is embedded in the stripe on the side of the needle, also restricting the rotation of the needle. Therefore, during insulin pen assembly and disassembly, the needle does not rotate with the insulin pen, facilitating the process. To use an insulin pen, simply rotate the insulin needle tip until it is fully tightened. Then, pull the needle out directly from the insulin pen. After use, reinsert the insulin needle into the needle holder body 52 and rotate the insulin pen in the opposite direction. The needle holder limiting groove 53, the strip or band protrusions inside the packaging tube 2, and the needle retainer 54 will prevent the needle from rotating. This allows the needle to be unscrewed from the insulin pen. Then, twist the needle holder body 52 so that its narrow part disengages from the cover-type sealing film 51 that sealed the previous needle holder body 52. ​​This completes the use of one needle. The used needle is still inside the needle holder body 52. ​​The unscrewed needle holder body 52 can be discarded along with the needle. The needle retainer 54 in the needle holder body 52, along with the rubber coating, will prevent the needle from coming out.

[0028] The cover-type sealing film 51 is connected to the narrow part of the needle box body 52 below through the inner center, and the upper surface of the cover-type sealing film 51 is attached to the lower part of the needle box body 52 above and sealed.

[0029] The circular sealing film or cover-type sealing film 51 of the needle box 5 can also be screwed to the screw hole of the narrow part of the needle box body 52 with a threaded rod, making the connection more stable and controllable. The needle box body 52 can be easily rotated and removed by simply detaching the current needle box body 52 from the packaging tube 2, without affecting the sealing of the previous needle box body 52 by the circular sealing film or cover-type sealing film 51.

[0030] In summary, the insulin needle packaging box of this utility model allows users to intuitively understand the remaining number of needles by inserting the needle box 5 into the packaging tube 2 in a connected end-to-end manner. The needle box limiting groove 53 on the side of the needle box 5 and the needle retaining groove 54 in the needle box body 52 ensure that the insulin needles can be stably placed in the needle box 5. When installation is required, simply insert the insulin pen connector into the insulin needle and tighten it, then pull it out for use. After use, reinsert the insulin needle into the needle box body 52 and disassemble to complete the use. This effectively improves the safety of disassembling and assembling insulin pen needles and enhances the safety of discarded needles. At the same time, since the insulin needles are sealed with a cover-type sealing film 51 in the needle box 5, it ensures that the insulin needles are always in a sterile state.
