The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0024] In use, the eye drop bottle is fixed in the cavity of the frame by a fixing element, and the syringe is inserted into the eye drop bottle through the liquid dispensing element. This eliminates the need to hold the eye drop bottle directly. At the same time, the needle guide guides the syringe needle into the eye drop bottle, avoiding needle pricks and ensuring accurate insertion of the syringe needle to dispense the medicine.
[0025] To better understand the above technical solutions, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present invention and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.
[0026] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0027] Figures 1 to 4 An eye drop dispenser according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:
[0028] The frame 1 has a cavity 11, and a partition 2 for fixing the eye drop bottle 200 is provided inside the cavity 11. The partition 2 has a slot 21 for the neck of the eye drop bottle 200 to be inserted. The purpose of this utility model is to provide a stable structure for holding the eye drop bottle 200. The frame 1 provides this function when the syringe 100 injects medicine. The frame 1 can be made of plastic or a plastic skeleton covered with silicone material, so that even if the syringe 100 punctures the frame 1, it will not cause the needle to be damaged or deflected.
[0029] In some embodiments, the inner walls on both sides of the cavity 11 have grooves 12, and the partition 2 is fixed by sliding into the grooves 12. The purpose of this setting is twofold: firstly, it facilitates manufacturing. If the partition 2 and the frame 1 are manufactured together, it will be difficult to make the partition 2 straight. However, by adopting this separate setting, the manufacturing difficulty can be greatly reduced; secondly, due to the stress characteristics of the partition 2, the partition 2 can be made of other materials such as aluminum alloy to improve strength and durability. The partition 2 can also be separated, which facilitates the disinfection operation after use and reduces dead corners.
[0030] Another purpose is that the slide 12 can be in multiple sets, and the position of the partition 2 within the frame 1 can be adjusted to accommodate eye drop bottles 200 of different heights.
[0031] Alternatively, the partition 2 can be equipped with multiple slots 21, and correspondingly with multiple fixing elements 3 and liquid filling elements 4, so that multiple eye drop bottles 200 can be placed at one time to facilitate individual filling and improve efficiency.
[0032] In conjunction with the above scheme, the partition 2 is not even straight, but stepped, so that eye drop bottles 200 of different sizes can be placed at the same time.
[0033] In some embodiments, the frame 1 also has a grip hole 13 for easy hand gripping; in addition to being easy to grip, the grip hole 13 can also effectively protect the hand and basically eliminate the risk of being punctured by the syringe 100.
[0034] Optionally, the bayonet 21 may be detachably equipped with a retaining ring made of elastic material. Since eye drop bottles 200 from different manufacturers vary in height and size, the elastic retaining ring inside the bayonet 21 allows for free adjustment of the size of the bayonet 21. In addition to better adapting to various eye drop bottles 200, it can also effectively prevent the eye drop bottle 200 from shaking in the bayonet 21, ensuring the accuracy of the syringe 100 insertion.
[0035] The fixing element 3 is located on the side wall of the cavity 11 and pushes the eye drop bottle 200 against the partition 2. One embodiment of the fixing element 3 is a spring fixed in the frame 1. There is a partition at the position where the top of the spring contacts the eye drop bottle 200. When in use, the eye drop bottle 200 first presses the spring of the fixing element 3 to compress it. Then the neck of the eye drop bottle 200 is inserted into the slot 21. After release, the spring pushes up to fix the eye drop bottle 200 in the slot 21, restricting its movement in three directions.
[0036] The partition can be a sheet-like structure or a cap that can completely enclose the spring. The cap is then sealed to the frame 1, which reduces hard-to-clean areas.
[0037] The liquid dispensing element 4 is slidably disposed on the frame 1 and includes a sliding limiter 41, a connecting tube 42, and a needle guide 43. The needle guide 43 is disposed at one end of the connecting tube 42, and the other end of the connecting tube 42 can be close to or away from the mouth of the eye drop bottle 200. The needle of the syringe 100 passes through the channel inside the connecting tube 42 via the needle guide 43 and enters the eye drop bottle 200 through the mouth of the eye drop bottle 200. The sliding limiter 41 restricts the sliding distance of the liquid dispensing component.
[0038] Specifically, the needle guide 43 can be funnel-shaped and made of hard plastic. When the needle is inserted, it will be guided to the bottom of the funnel and then into the connecting tube 42.
[0039] Connecting pipe fitting 42, etc. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the middle section has an enlarged section, on which a sliding limiting member 41 extends radially. The sliding limiting member 41 moves within a sliding groove provided in the frame 1, limiting the vertical movement range of the connecting pipe 42.
[0040] The purpose of the sliding limiter 41 is to limit the range of motion of the bottom of the connecting pipe 42, so that it is close to the mouth of the eye drop bottle 200, but does not come into contact with the mouth to avoid mutual contamination.
[0041] The inner diameter of the connecting tube 42 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the syringe needle 100.
[0042] Optionally, a spring is provided between the liquid filling element 4 and the frame 1, and the spring pushes the liquid filling assembly to maintain it in the set position.
