Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of insulin injection technology, and in particular to an auxiliary device for insulin injection. Background Technology
[0002] Insulin is an important drug for treating diabetes, and subcutaneous injection is its common administration method. During insulin injection, in order to ensure that the drug can accurately and effectively enter the subcutaneous tissue and avoid injection into the muscle layer, it is usually necessary to pinch the skin to perform the injection. This operation can be completed smoothly for most patients, but it is quite difficult for single-handed patients. Due to physical disability, single-handed patients can only use one hand to operate. In the traditional insulin injection process, both pinching the skin and injecting require hand operation and coordination. After pinching the skin, single-handed patients often find it difficult to hold the insulin syringe steadily and accurately perform the injection operation. This not only increases the difficulty of injection, but may also lead to inaccurate injection site and affect the absorption effect of the drug. Therefore, an auxiliary device for insulin injection is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model overcomes the existing defects and can effectively solve the problems in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] An auxiliary device for insulin injection includes a clamp, a support at the top of the clamp, a battery fixedly connected to the right end of the support, a control switch fixedly connected to the top right side of the clamp, a first electric push rod fixedly connected to the left inner side of the support, and the bottom end of the first electric push rod fixedly connected to the clamp, a first spring fixedly connected to the left inner side of the clamp, a gripper fixedly connected to the other end of the first spring, and the gripper slidably connected to the clamp, a silicone plate with a groove at one end fixedly connected to the bottom outer side of the gripper and the bottom outer side of the clamp, and a rubber sleeve fixedly connected to the right inner side of the clamp.
[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, a gasket is provided at the bottom of the silicone plate, and the gasket is made of silicone. The gasket on the left side is fixedly connected to the gripper, and the gasket on the right side is fixedly connected to the clamp.
[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, a clamping block is slidably connected to the top of the bracket, and a threaded shaft passing through the bracket is rotatably connected to the left end of the clamping block, and the threaded shaft is helically connected to the bracket.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, a second electric push rod is fixedly connected to the top of the inner side of the clamping block, a fixing block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second electric push rod, a pressure block that contacts the clamping block is contacted on the outer side of the fixing block, a second spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing block, and the other end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the pressure block.
[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the bottom end of the bracket is provided with a start switch, and the start switch is fixedly connected to the bracket.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0011] 1. An auxiliary device for insulin injection, comprising a clamp, grippers, a first electric actuator, a second electric actuator, and a pressure block, wherein when assisting a single-handed patient in insulin injection, after fixing the insulin pen in the holder, the bottom right side of the clamp is positioned at the palm. Then, the grippers are operated by the four fingers (excluding the thumb) to stretch the first spring, further engaging with a silicone pad to pinch the skin. When the skin is pinched until it is blocked by the bottom of the silicone plate, pressing the control switch with the thumb retracts the first electric actuator. At this time, the retraction of the first electric actuator controls the holder to move the insulin pen downwards and insert it into the skin. When the electric push rod retracts and the control bracket is simultaneously triggered by the start switch, the second electric push rod can also be extended. At this time, the second electric push rod pushes the fixing block to compress the second spring, while simultaneously controlling the pressure block to push the injection button on the top of the insulin pen. Insulin can be injected after the needle of the insulin pen is inserted into the skin. The skin is pinched by the single-handed operation device, and the injection operation is performed after the needle of the insulin pen is inserted into the skin. This facilitates insulin injection operation for single-handed patients with the assistance of the device, thereby reducing the difficulty of injection while ensuring accurate injection location, and thus ensuring the absorption effect of the drug.
[0012] 2. An auxiliary device for insulin injection, comprising a rubber sleeve, a bracket, a clamp, and a threaded shaft, wherein an insulin pen is inserted into the bracket, which limits the insulin pen to the position of the pen; the threaded shaft is then rotated to connect with the bracket, further controlling the clamp to hold the insulin pen in place. This facilitates securing the insulin pen within the device and allows for subsequent single-handed operation of the device by pinching the skin for insulin injection. Attached Figure Description

Based on the specific embodiments of the present invention, all other specific embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0018] Example 1
[0019] like Figure 1-2 As shown, an auxiliary device for insulin injection includes a clamp 1, with a support 2 in contact with the top of the clamp 1. A battery 3 is fixedly connected to the right end of the support 2. A control switch 4 is fixedly connected to the top right side of the clamp 1. A first electric push rod 5 is fixedly connected to the left inner side of the support 2, and the bottom end of the first electric push rod 5 is fixedly connected to the clamp 1. A first spring 6 is fixedly connected to the left inner side of the clamp 1. A gripper 7 is fixedly connected to the other end of the first spring 6, and the gripper 7 is slidably connected to the clamp 1. A silicone plate 9 with a groove at one end is fixedly connected to the bottom outer side of the gripper 7 and the bottom outer side of the clamp 1. A rubber sleeve 10 is fixedly connected to the right inner side of the clamp 1.
[0020] Example 2
[0021] like Figure 1-2As shown, in order to solve the problem of not being able to pinch the skin with the gripper 7 and the clamp 1, the bottom of the silicone plate 9 is provided with a pad 8, and the pad 8 is made of silicone. The pad 8 on the left side is fixedly connected to the gripper 7, and the pad 8 on the right side is fixedly connected to the clamp 1. By fixing the silicone pad 8 to the bottom outer side of the gripper 7 and the bottom outer side of the clamp 1, the friction between the gripper and the skin is further increased, making it easier to pinch the skin with the gripper 7 and the clamp 1.
[0022] Example 3
[0023] like Figure 1-2 As shown, in order to solve the problem of not being able to fix the insulin pen inside the device, a clamping block 11 is slidably connected to the top of the bracket 2. The left end of the clamping block 11 is rotatably connected to a threaded shaft 12 that passes through the bracket 2, and the threaded shaft 12 is screwed to the bracket 2. By inserting the insulin pen into the bracket 2 from the top, the bottom outer side of the insulin pen is limited by the rubber sleeve 10. Then, by rotating the threaded shaft 12 to screw to the bracket 2, the clamping block 11 is further controlled to clamp the insulin pen, which makes it convenient to fix the insulin pen inside the device.
[0024] Example 4
[0025] like Figure 1-2 As shown, to address the problem of inconvenient control over insulin injection, a second electric push rod 13 is fixedly connected to the top inner side of the clamping block 11. A fixing block 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second electric push rod 13. A pressure block 15, which contacts the clamping block 11, is contacted on the outside of the fixing block 14. A second spring 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing block 14, and the other end of the second spring 16 is fixedly connected to the pressure block 15. By controlling the extension of the second electric push rod 13, the pressure block 15 pushes the injection button on the top of the insulin pen while the fixing block 14 compresses the second spring 16, thus facilitating the control of insulin injection.
[0026] Example 5
[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, in order to solve the problem of inconvenience in starting the insulin injection mechanism after the needle of the insulin pen is inserted into the skin, the bottom of the bracket 2 is provided with a start switch 17, and the start switch 17 is fixedly connected to the bracket 2. After the first electric push rod 5 is retracted to drive the needle of the insulin pen into the skin, the start switch 17 is triggered by the bracket 2 at the same time, which facilitates the start of the insulin injection mechanism after the needle of the insulin pen is inserted into the skin.
[0028] In this embodiment, when assisting a single-handed patient in insulin injection using the device, the insulin pen is inserted into the bracket 2 from the top, with the bottom outer side of the insulin pen limited by the rubber sleeve 10. Then, the threaded shaft 12 is rotated to connect with the bracket 2, further controlling the clamp 11 to clamp the insulin pen. At this point, the insulin pen is fixed inside the device. After completing the above operations, when performing the insulin injection, after aligning the gripper 7 and the clamp 1 with the outside of the injection position, the bottom right side of the clamp 1 is positioned in the palm. Then, the gripper 7 is operated with the four fingers other than the thumb to stretch the first spring 6, further cooperating with the silicone pad 8 to pinch the skin. When the skin is observed to be pinched up to the point where it is blocked by the bottom of the silicone plate 9, the thumb is used to... Pressing the control switch 4 retracts the first electric push rod 5. When the first electric push rod 5 retracts, it controls the bracket 2 to move the insulin pen downwards and squeeze the rubber sleeve 10. After the rubber sleeve 10 deforms, the insulin pen can be inserted into the pinched skin. Because the bracket 2 will also trigger the start switch 17 after the first electric push rod 5 retracts, the second electric push rod 13 can be extended. During the extension of the second electric push rod 13, it pushes the fixing block 14 to compress the second spring 16, further controlling the pressure block 15 to push the injection button on the top of the insulin pen. This allows the insulin to be injected after the needle of the insulin pen is inserted into the skin. After the injection is completed, the device can be removed within the specified time.
