Detailed Implementation
[0041] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0042] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, the microneedle packaging box of this utility model includes a box body 200; the box body 200 has an inner cavity with an opening on one side; a winding reel 800 and a microneedle tape storage reel 700 are disposed inside the inner cavity; a winding device for driving the microneedle tape storage reel 700 to rewind is disposed inside the inner cavity of the box body 200; a unidirectional driving device for driving the winding reel 800 to rotate in one direction is disposed on the box body 200. A microneedle tape 900 is wound on the microneedle tape storage reel 700, one end of the microneedle tape 900 is wound around the microneedle tape storage reel 700, and the other end passes around the transition roller 500 and connects to the winding reel 800.
[0043] The main function of the microneedle tape storage tray 700 is to store the microneedle tape 900. Specifically, the microneedle storage tray 700 is provided with an annular groove, which is the storage groove, and the microneedle tape 900 is wound in the annular groove.
[0044] The microneedle tape 900 is a flexible strip with multiple microneedle stickers adhered to it. To prevent the microneedle tape 900 from compressing the microneedle stickers 910 on it during winding, the microneedle tape 900 is provided with mounting grooves 920 evenly distributed along its length, and the microneedle stickers 910 are adhered within these grooves. By placing the microneedle stickers 910 within the mounting grooves, only the microneedle tape 900 itself is compressed during winding.
[0045] The main function of the take-up reel 800 is to pull the microneedle tape 900 and recycle the microneedle tape 900 after it has been torn off the microneedle patch 910. Specifically, the take-up reel 800 has an annular groove, which is the take-up groove of the take-up reel 800. The microneedle tape 900 after removing the microneedle patch 910 is wound into the take-up groove.
[0046] By providing a one-way drive device on the housing 200 to drive the winding reel 800 to rotate in one direction, and a rewinding device inside the housing 200 to drive the microneedle tape storage tray 700 to rewind, the microneedle tape 900 between the winding reel 800 and the microneedle tape storage tray 700 is made to have tension, which makes it easy to remove the microneedle patch 910 from the microneedle tape 900.
[0047] The main function of the unidirectional drive device is to make the winding reel 800 rotate only in one direction. The unidirectional drive device can be implemented in various ways. For the sake of structural simplicity, the unidirectional drive device includes a drive turntable disposed at one end of the winding reel 800 and a ratchet structure disposed on the winding reel 800. The outer surface of the drive turntable extends out of one side of the box body 200.
[0048] During application, simply turn the drive turntable to make the drive turntable drive the take-up reel 800 to rotate, thereby driving the take-up reel 800 to rotate. At the same time, the ratchet structure restricts the direction of rotation, realizing unidirectional rotation drive.
[0049] In this embodiment, to facilitate the installation and arrangement of various components, the unidirectional drive device uses a drive roller 600. One side of the housing 200 has an opening, and the outer surface of the drive roller 600 extends out of the housing 200 from the opening. One end of the drive roller 600 is provided with a drive gear 610, and the other end with a ratchet 620. An intermediate gear 270 is provided inside the housing 200. One end of the take-up reel 800 is provided with a driven gear 810. The drive gear 610 is connected to the driven gear 810 via the intermediate gear 270.
[0050] A fixed baffle is provided on one side of the ratchet 620 inside the cavity of the box body 200; a pawl 630 is provided on the ratchet 620; the pawl 630 has a sliding shaft 640; the sliding shaft 640 passes through the fixed baffle; and a spring 650 is fitted on the sliding shaft 640; the spring 650 is located between the pawl 630 and the fixed baffle.
[0051] During operation, by actuating the drive roller 600, the drive roller 600 drives the transition gear 270 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear 810 on the take-up reel 800 to rotate, thereby causing the take-up reel 800 to rotate. Furthermore, the direction of rotation is restricted through the engagement between the pawl 630 and the ratchet 620.
[0052] The rewinding device can be implemented in various ways. One relatively simple structure is to directly install a coil spring at one end of the microneedle tape storage tray 700, and use the coil spring to achieve the rewinding of the microneedle tape storage tray 700.
[0053] To facilitate the replacement of the microneedle tape storage tray 700, the rewinding device includes an annular mounting boss 230 and a hollow rotating shaft 400 disposed in the inner cavity of the box body 200; the annular mounting boss 230 is provided with a rotating shaft mounting groove 231.
[0054] The hollow rotating shaft 400 has a central rotating shaft 430 inside; the hollow rotating shaft 400 is fitted onto the annular mounting boss 230, and the central rotating shaft 430 cooperates with the rotating shaft mounting groove 231; a coil spring 440 is provided between the central rotating shaft 430 and the annular mounting boss 230.
[0055] The hollow rotating shaft 400 has an axial limiting boss 410 on its outer surface; the microneedle tape storage tray 700 has a central hole, and a limiting groove matching the axial limiting boss 410 is provided in the central hole; the lower end of the hollow rotating shaft 400 has a limiting boss 420.
[0056] In practical applications, the microneedle tape storage tray 700 is simply mounted on the hollow rotating shaft 400. Rewinding is achieved via the hollow rotating shaft 400. Because the hollow rotating shaft 400 is equipped with an axial limiting boss 410, the microneedle tape storage tray 700 and the limiting boss 410 can rotate synchronously through their interaction.
[0057] The principle of the hollow rotating shaft 400 to achieve rewinding is as follows: Since a central rotating shaft is provided inside the hollow rotating shaft 400, and a coil spring 440 is provided between the central rotating shaft and the annular mounting boss 230, the coil spring 440 can make the central rotating shaft 430 rotate with a rotational force, thereby achieving rewinding.
[0058] The upper surface of the box body 200 is provided with a needle extraction port 210; at least two transition rollers 500 are provided below the needle extraction port 210; and a sealing plate 100 for sealing the inner cavity is provided on the box body 200.
[0059] The transition roller 500 facilitates the path guidance of the microneedle belt 900 pulled out from the take-up reel 800, allowing it to pass below the needle pick-up port 210. When the microneedle belt 900 below the needle pick-up port 210 has a microneedle sticker, the microneedle can be removed from the needle pick-up port 210. The sealing plate 100 facilitates the shielding of the inner cavity, providing a certain degree of protection.
[0060] The sealing plate 100 and the box body 200 can be connected in various ways, such as snap-fit connection or bolt connection. For ease of positioning, quick connection, and disassembly, in this embodiment, the sealing plate 100 is provided with a connecting post 110; the inner cavity of the box body 200 is provided with a hollow post 280 that matches the connecting post 110; the connecting post 110 is inserted into the hollow post 280 to connect the sealing plate 100 and the box body 200.
[0061] In one feasible embodiment, to facilitate the installation of the transition roller 500, a transition shaft 220 is provided below the needle inlet 210, and the transition roller 500 is fitted on the transition shaft 220 and rotates in cooperation with the transition shaft 220.
[0062] In one feasible embodiment, to prevent debris and dust from entering the interior of the housing 2, the needle retrieval port 210 is further provided with a sliding sealing plate 300. When needle retrieval is required, the sliding sealing plate 300 is moved to open the needle retrieval port 210, and then the needle is retrieved. After the needle retrieval is completed, the sealing plate 300 is moved to close the needle retrieval port 210.
[0063] To ensure structural stability and facilitate installation and disassembly, the sealing plate 100 is specifically provided with a third through hole 140 that matches the transition shaft 220. The inner cavity of the housing 200 is provided with a mounting hole 250, and the transition gear 270 has a rotating shaft that engages with the mounting hole 250.
[0064] The drive roller 600 has a first central rotating hole; the take-up reel 800 has a second central rotating hole; the inner cavity of the box body 200 is provided with a first rotating shaft 260 that matches the first central rotating hole and a second rotating shaft 240 that matches the second central rotating hole;
[0065] The drive roller 600 is rotatably mounted on the first rotating shaft 260, and the take-up reel 800 is rotatably mounted on the second rotating shaft 240.
[0066] The sealing plate 100 is provided with a first through hole 130 that matches the first rotating shaft 260, or the inner side of the sealing plate 100 is provided with a first mounting groove that matches the first rotating shaft 260.
[0067] The sealing plate 100 is provided with a second through hole 120 that matches the second rotating shaft 240, or the inner side of the sealing plate 100 is provided with a second mounting groove that matches the second rotating shaft 240.
[0068] By providing a first through hole 130, a second through hole 120, and a third through hole 140 on the sealing plate 100, radial fixing of the other end of the corresponding rotating shaft is facilitated, thereby improving the stability of the rotating shaft structure.
