[0024] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0025] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The ampoule breaker provided by this utility model will now be described. The ampoule breaker includes: a mounting base 1, multiple break heads 3, multiple top blocks 6, and a drive handle 2. The multiple break heads 3 are sequentially slidably disposed on the mounting base 1; the multiple break heads 3 are arranged in the same direction and have a cavity at their bottom for insertion and engagement with the ampoule head. The multiple top blocks 6 correspond one-to-one with the multiple break heads 3; the top blocks 6 are slidably disposed on the top of the corresponding break head 3; the top blocks 6 penetrate the break head 3 to push out the ampoule head. The drive handle 2 is mounted on one side of the mounting base 1 to drive the multiple break heads 3 to swing.
[0026] The advantages of the ampoule breaker provided by this utility model are as follows: Compared with the prior art, in this utility model, multiple breaking heads 3 are sequentially slidably arranged on the mounting base 1, and each breaking head 3 has a cavity at its bottom. Multiple top blocks 6 correspond one-to-one with each breaking head 3, and the top blocks 6 are slidably arranged on the top of the corresponding breaking head 3. The drive handle 2 is installed on one side of the mounting base 1.
[0027] In practical applications, the cavity inside the breaking head 3 is first inserted into the ampoule head. Then, the drive handle 2 drives multiple breaking heads 3 to move, which ultimately breaks multiple ampoules simultaneously. Finally, the top block 6 pushes out the ampoule head held in the corresponding breaking head 3. This application has a relatively simple structure, can break multiple ampoules simultaneously, is highly efficient, and is easy to operate and use.
[0028] In some embodiments of the ampoule breaker provided in this application, a buffer sleeve is provided inside the cavity. The buffer sleeve is made of rubber. The buffer sleeve serves two purposes: firstly, it ensures sufficient force on the ampoule head to prevent it from detaching from the head under the action of the drive handle 2, because if it detaches, the ampoule cannot be broken smoothly. Secondly, since different ampoules have different sizes, the elasticity of the buffer sleeve allows it to adapt to ampoules of different sizes.
[0029] During the swinging process, the cavities inside the multiple break-off heads 3 engage with the ampoule bottle head. Because the cavities are equipped with cushioning sleeves, these sleeves automatically adjust to the size and shape of the ampoule bottle head during the engagement process, ensuring a tight fit.
[0030] During the ejection process, the cushioning sleeve continues to play a crucial role. On one hand, it cushions the impact of the top block 6 on the ampoule head, preventing damage due to excessive impact. On the other hand, even if the ampoule head deviates slightly in position during ejection, the elasticity of the cushioning sleeve ensures that the top block 6 can still accurately eject it, thus ensuring that the ampoule breaks smoothly.
[0031] For some embodiments of the ampoule breaker provided in this application, please refer to... Figure 2 The cushioning sleeve has open tops and bottoms. It includes multiple bent strips 8, with telescopic rings 7 circumferentially fitted around the outer sides of each strip. The telescopic rings 7 are used to reposition the bent strips 8. To greatly improve the elasticity of the cushioning sleeve and ensure its large deformation capacity, it consists of multiple bent strips 8 and telescopic rings 7. There are multiple telescopic rings 7. When the ampoule is inserted, the bent strips 8 drive the telescopic rings 7 to deform. When the ampoule head is pushed out, the telescopic rings 7 shrink and cause the multiple bent strips 8 to reposition.
[0032] In terms of the design of the cushioning sleeve, the shape and arrangement of the multiple bending strips 8 have been optimized, allowing the bending strips 8 to more evenly drive the telescopic ring 7 to deform during ampoule insertion, reducing local stress concentration and thus further improving the service life and telescopic performance of the cushioning sleeve. Furthermore, the telescopic ring 7 is made of an elastic material, which, after deforming under the action of the bending strips 8, can more accurately drive the bending strips 8 to return to their original position, ensuring that the cushioning sleeve quickly returns to its initial state after each use, ready for the next operation.
[0033] For some embodiments of the ampoule breaker provided in this application, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 An elastic element 5 connects the top block 6 and the break head 3. Pressing the top block 6 downwards squeezes out the remaining bottle head after breakage, while the elastic element 5 resets the top block 6, making it easier to break the ampoule next time.
[0034] The elastic element 5 can be a spring. One end of the spring is fixedly connected to the top block 6, and the other end is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the break-off head 3. When the top block 6 is pressed downward, the spring is compressed, generating elastic potential energy. When the top block 6 is released, the spring releases the elastic potential energy, pushing the top block 6 back to its original position, thus resetting the top block 6.
[0035] In actual use, the ampoule is placed on the support, with the ampoule head inserted into the cavity inside the break-off head 3. Then, the drive handle 2 drives multiple break-off heads 3 to swing, thereby breaking the neck of the ampoule. At this time, the top block 6, under the action of the elastic element 5, squeezes out the remaining ampoule head after breakage, making it easy to remove the liquid from the ampoule. This design not only facilitates the breaking operation of the ampoule but also effectively avoids the impact of residual ampoule head on subsequent use. At the same time, the elastic element 5 allows the top block 6 to automatically reset, improving the convenience and efficiency of use.
[0036] For some embodiments of the ampoule breaker provided in this application, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 A connecting rod 4 is installed at the top of each of the multiple top blocks 6, and the connecting rod 4 is used to drive the multiple top blocks 6 to move. After multiple ampoules are broken, the connecting rod 4 drives the multiple top blocks 6 to move simultaneously, thereby pushing out the heads of multiple ampoules at the same time.
[0037] Because multiple cleaving heads 3 are sequentially slidably mounted on the mounting base 1, this design makes breaking ampoules more stable, reducing the risk of breakage due to improper operation. More importantly, the sliding mechanism adapts to different ampoule supports, meaning that even when multiple ampoules are spaced differently, they can be broken simultaneously through sliding. The drive handle 2 is mounted on one side of the mounting base 1. Through a reasonable structural design, when the drive handle 2 is operated to swing the multiple cleaving heads 3, it can accurately achieve the breaking action of the ampoule. Moreover, the inner cavity of the cleaving head 3 is inserted and fitted with the ampoule head. The top block 6 is slidably mounted on the top of the cleaving head 3, and its bottom end penetrates the cleaving head 3 to push out the ampoule head. This structure ensures the effectiveness of the pushing action. For example, in a hospital injection room, nurses can quickly prepare medication for multiple ampoules, reducing patient waiting time and improving overall workflow efficiency.
[0038] For some embodiments of the ampoule breaker provided in this application, please refer to... Figure 2 Multiple top blocks 6 are slidably mounted on the connecting rod 4. This sliding arrangement allows for the adaptation to different ampoule holders, enabling multiple ampoules with varying spacing to break simultaneously.
[0039] The sliding arrangement of multiple top blocks 6 on the connecting rod 4 allows the top blocks 6 to be flexibly adjusted in position when breaking ampoules with different spacing, further enhancing the versatility and adaptability of the ampoule breaker and making it more convenient to apply to various ampoule breaking scenarios.
[0040] For some embodiments of the ampoule breaker provided in this application, please refer to... Figure 2The mounting base 1 has a sliding groove on its inner side, and multiple break-off heads 3 are slidably disposed in the sliding groove. By allowing the break-off heads 3 to slide within the mounting base 1, multiple ampoules in different positions can be broken simultaneously, improving adaptability.
[0041] When the drive handle 2 swings, multiple break heads 3 swing synchronously within the groove to accurately align with the ampoule head. Inside the cavity of each break head 3, anti-slip or positioning textured structures can be incorporated to better engage with the ampoule head, enhancing connection stability and further increasing the success rate of ampoule breakage. Additionally, the mounting base 1 can be made of high-strength, wear-resistant material to ensure good structural strength during frequent use of the break head 3, preventing easy damage and extending the overall lifespan of the ampoule breaker.
[0042] For some embodiments of the ampoule breaker provided in this application, please refer to... Figure 1 The mounting base 1 has multiple limiting clips 9, which are U-shaped and whose two ends engage with the two sides of the mounting base 1 to ensure the stability of the slide structure. The mounting base 1 is relatively large and has multiple broken ends 3. To prevent deformation during use, multiple limiting clips 9 are attached to it. The limiting clips 9 can be considered to be perpendicular to the mounting base 1. The multiple limiting clips 9 improve the overall stability of the mounting base 1.
[0043] In some embodiments of the ampoule breaker provided in this application, the inner sidewall of the limiting card 9 is provided with anti-slip texture. The anti-slip texture can increase the friction between the limiting card 9 and the mounting base 1, so that the limiting card 9 is better fixed on the mounting base 1, further improving the stability of the mounting base 1 and preventing the breaking effect from being affected by the shaking of the mounting base 1 during the breaking of the ampoule.
[0044] An anti-slip sleeve is also fitted on the outside of the drive handle 2. The anti-slip sleeve is made of a soft and elastic material. When the user holds the drive handle 2 to operate, the anti-slip sleeve can increase the friction between the hand and the drive handle 2, prevent the hand from slipping during operation, improve the safety and stability of operation, and make the action of breaking the ampoule smoother.
[0045] For some embodiments of the ampoule breaker provided in this application, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2The drive handle 2 is detachably connected to the mounting base 1. Specifically, the drive handle 2 is detachably connected to the mounting base 1 via a threaded connection. An internal threaded hole is provided on one side of the mounting base 1, and an external thread is provided at one end of the drive handle 2. The drive handle 2 achieves a detachable connection by engaging the external thread with the internal threaded hole on the mounting base 1. Furthermore, in different usage scenarios, it is easy to adjust the angle of the drive handle 2 or replace it with a different type to adapt to different operating needs. Moreover, the threaded connection ensures a secure connection, guaranteeing that the drive handle 2 will not easily loosen during use and ensuring the normal operation of the ampoule breaker.
[0046] In practical use, when cleaning the ampoule breaker is required, the drive handle 2 can be disassembled for thorough cleaning of all components, preventing dirt accumulation from affecting performance. If the drive handle 2 is damaged, only a new drive handle 2 needs to be replaced, eliminating the need to replace the entire ampoule breaker, significantly reducing operating costs. Furthermore, this detachable design facilitates carrying and storage of the ampoule breaker; the drive handle 2 can be disassembled when not in use, reducing the overall size and making it easier to store and transport.
[0047] For some embodiments of the ampoule breaker provided in this application, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 There are two drive handles 2, located on either side of the mounting base 1. Multiple ampoules can be broken by moving the drive handles 2 with both hands. Specifically, when both hands grasp the two drive handles 2 and apply force in opposite directions, the drive handles 2 cause the breaking heads 3 on the mounting base 1 to swing. Since multiple breaking heads 3 are sequentially slidably mounted on the mounting base 1, and each breaking head 3 has an inner cavity for engaging with the ampoule head, its cavity accurately engages with the ampoule head during the swinging process. In this way, by moving the two drive handles 2 with both hands, multiple ampoules can be broken simultaneously and conveniently, improving work efficiency and providing convenience for related medical or experimental work.
[0048] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
