Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to an ampoule dispensing device. Background Technology

[0002] In the modern medical field, many operations that were traditionally performed manually are gradually being automated. Automation in the medical field can avoid the impact of human error and reduce medical accidents; compared with manual operation, it greatly improves the speed of operation and enhances medical efficiency.

[0003] Specifically, the preparation of intravenous medications requires rapid extraction. Due to the superior characteristics of ampoules, many liquid injectable drugs are stored in ampoules. In medical institutions, the medication is usually extracted manually. The ampoules are removed from the box, broken open by hand with a stone shard, and then the liquid is extracted using a syringe and injected into a medication bag for mixing. This process is not only inefficient and unsuitable for large-scale medication administration, but also significantly increases the risk of drug contamination, making it difficult to meet the needs of patients in large medical institutions. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application discloses an ampoule dispensing device. In one embodiment, it includes a dispensing assembly, which has at least one clamp and a rotating module. The rotating module and the clamp are fixedly connected, driving the clamp to rotate. This design of the dispensing assembly, composed of multiple clamps, increases the number of ampoules that can be opened and improves the dispensing efficiency. In one rotation cycle, it completes the opening of multiple ampoules, extraction of the liquid, and collection of empty ampoules. At the same time, in the mechanical operation process, compared with the traditional manual operation of cutting ampoules with sand and then breaking them open by hand, the risk of liquid contamination can be reduced, thus having a significant effect.

[0005] The clamp includes a cavity for placing ampoules and a limiting slider. The cavity extends vertically through the clamp. The outer sidewall of the clamp has a placement groove communicating with the cavity. The limiting slider is placed within the placement groove. In the initial state of placing the ampoule, the limiting slider restricts the ampoule from sliding down. A first magnet is located inside the limiting slider. The first magnet moves under the magnetic field of an external magnet. When the first magnet is repelled, it moves inward, allowing the limiting slider to firmly press the ampoule. This prevents slippage and transmission when the cutter cuts the neck of the ampoule, thus preventing... The cutting marks are insufficient to allow the pusher assembly to push off the upper part of the ampoule neck, and ensure that the cutting marks face the pusher assembly, so that the cut surface of the ampoule neck is smooth and intact when the pusher assembly pushes the ampoule, without generating excess debris that could affect the medication; the magnet inside the limiting slider, under the attraction of an external magnet, causes the limiting slider to move outward, and the remaining ampoule body falls through the hole at the bottom of the cavity for unified collection and processing. The limiting slider and the simple external structure at this location produce different technical effects, namely, simplifying the mechanical structure while greatly saving costs.

[0006] The ampoule dispensing device further includes a first clamp, in which a second magnet is disposed. The second magnet repels the first magnet, causing the limiting slider to fasten the ampoule and prevent the ampoule from moving within the cavity. The first clamp, the clamp itself, and the ampoule cutting assembly cooperate. In one embodiment of this application, the positional relationship between the ampoule cutting assembly and the first clamp enables the ampoule cutting assembly to cut the ampoule that is being fastened by the repulsive force of the first clamp.

[0007] The ampoule dispensing device also includes a bottle cutting assembly, which includes a support and a cutter. The cutter is fixedly connected to the support. When the dispensing assembly rotates past the bottle cutting assembly, the cutter cuts the neck of the ampoule under the force of the support.

[0008] The ampoule dispensing device of this application includes a support comprising a fixed block, a slide rail, a slider, a cutter support, an elastic element, and a cutter. The slide rail is fixed to the fixed block. The cutter support is fixedly connected to the slider, which slides in cooperation with the slide rail. One end of the cutter support is fixedly connected to the cutter in the horizontal direction, and the other end is fixedly connected to the fixed block through the elastic element. The cutter support is restricted by the slider and the slide rail, and can only move horizontally along the direction of the slide rail. Under the action of the elastic element, it generates elastic force. On the one hand, this elastic force can provide power when cutting the ampoule neck. On the other hand, due to the flexibility of the elastic element, it effectively creates a buffering effect between the cutter and the ampoule neck, thereby avoiding the risk of breaking the ampoule and preventing the possibility of ampoule fragments falling into the liquid.

[0009] In another embodiment of the ampoule dispensing device of this application, a limiting baffle is provided at one end of the slide rail on the bracket to restrict the slider from disengaging from the slide rail.

[0010] In another embodiment of this application, the ampoule dispensing device is provided with a bottle pusher assembly, which includes a pusher module and a bottle pusher stopper. The pusher module and the dispensing assembly cooperate to push off the portion of the ampoule above the neck.

[0011] In another embodiment of this application, the ampoule dispensing device is provided with a second clamp for placing a third magnet. The third magnet attracts the first magnet to move the limiting slider away from the ampoule and into a recycling device that falls through the small hole in the cavity.

[0012] In another embodiment of the ampoule dispensing device of this application, the clamp sidewall buckle is used to identify the clamp with an identification plate. The identification plate can be set as the outer cover of the placement slot. The main function of the identification plate is to mark the work position corresponding to the clamp and to identify the different drugs loaded in the clamped ampoule.

[0013] In another embodiment of the ampoule dispensing device of this application, the dispensing component is provided with a through hole in the middle for collecting residual ampoule body. The lower end of the through hole is connected to a recycling device, which can be used to collect the ampoule body part that has fallen from the cavity together, or a new recycling container can be set at the through hole to collect the upper part of the ampoule body above the neck of the ampoule separately.

[0014] The ampoule dispensing device of this application can automatically cut the ampoule, which greatly improves the dispensing efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it should be noted that these embodiments are not intended to limit the present application. All equivalent changes or substitutions in function, method, or structure made by those skilled in the art based on these embodiments are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0026] It should be understood that in this application, the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "axial," and "radial," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this technical solution and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this technical solution.

[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the ampoule dispensing device disclosed in this application, a dispensing assembly 1000 is provided, which includes at least one clamp 1100 and a rotating module 1300, as... Figure 1In this embodiment, a ring-shaped dispensing assembly 1000 is composed of 12 clamps 1100. The rotating module 1300 is fixedly connected to the clamps 1100, and the rotating module 1300 drives the clamps 1100 to rotate. This design of the dispensing assembly 1000 composed of multiple sets of clamps 1100 increases the number of ampoules that can be opened and improves the efficiency of dispensing. In one rotation cycle, multiple ampoules can be opened, the liquid can be extracted, and the empty ampoules can be collected. At the same time, in the mechanical operation process, compared with the traditional manual operation of cutting ampoules with sand and stones and then breaking them open by hand, the risk of liquid contamination can be reduced, so it has a significant effect.

[0028] In one embodiment of this application, the clamp 1100 includes a cavity 1110 for placing ampoules and a limiting slider 1120. The cavity 1110 extends vertically through the clamp 1100. The outer sidewall of the clamp 1100 is provided with a placement groove 1111 communicating with the cavity 1110. The cavity 1110 is vertically open and has a transparent placement groove on its side. The limiting slider 1120 is placed within the placement groove 1111. The placement groove uses a relatively weak elastic component to restrict the ampoule from sliding down in the initial state of placement. A first magnet 1121 is provided inside the limiting slider 1120. The first magnet 1121 moves under the magnetic field of an external magnet. When the first magnet is repelled, it moves towards... The internal movement of the limiting slider allows it to firmly press the ampoule, preventing slippage and transmission when the cutter 3200 cuts the bottle neck. This ensures the cutting marks are insufficient for the pusher assembly 4000 to push off the upper part of the ampoule neck, and that the cutting marks face the pusher assembly, resulting in a smooth and complete cut surface of the ampoule neck during push, without generating excess debris that could affect the medication. The magnet inside the limiting slider 1120, attracted by an external magnet, moves the slider outward, causing the remaining ampoule body to fall through the hole below the cavity 1310 for collection and processing. The combination of the limiting slider 1120 and the simple external structure produces different technical effects, simplifying the mechanical structure while significantly reducing costs.

[0029] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the ampoule dispensing device further includes a first clamp 2000, within which a second magnet 2100 is disposed. The second magnet 2100 repels the first magnet 1121, causing the limiting slider 1120 to secure the ampoule and prevent the ampoule from rotating within the cavity 1110. The first clamp 2000, the clamp 1100, and the ampoule cutting assembly cooperate. In one embodiment of this application, refer to... Figure 6As shown, the positional relationship between the ampoule cutting assembly 3000 and the first clamp 2000 enables the ampoule cutting assembly 3000 to cut the ampoule being held in place by the repulsive force of the first clamp 2000. Specifically, the ampoule dispensing device further includes the ampoule cutting assembly 3000, which includes a support and a cutter 3200. The cutter 3200 is fixedly connected to the support. When the dispensing assembly 1000 rotates past the ampoule cutting assembly 3000, the cutter 3200 cuts the neck of the ampoule under the force of the support.

[0030] Furthermore, the structure of the bottle-cutting assembly in one embodiment of this application is described with reference to... Figure 5 As shown, the bracket includes a fixing block 3110, a slide rail 3130, a slider 3120, a cutter bracket 3140, an elastic element 3150, and a cutter 3200. The slide rail 3130 is fixed to the fixing block 3110. The cutter bracket 3140 is fixedly connected to the slider 3120, which slides in cooperation with the slide rail 3130. One end of the cutter bracket 3140 is fixedly connected to the cutter 3200 in the horizontal direction, and the other end is fixedly connected to the fixing block 3110 through the elastic element 3150. The cutter support 3140 is restricted by the slider 3120 and the slide rail 3130, and can only move horizontally along the direction of the slide rail 3130. Under the action of the elastic member 3150, it generates elastic force. On the one hand, this elastic force can provide power when cutting the ampoule neck; on the other hand, due to the flexibility of the elastic member, it effectively buffers the cutter 3200 and the ampoule neck, thereby avoiding the risk of breaking the ampoule and preventing the possibility of ampoule fragments falling into the liquid. Furthermore, in another embodiment of this application, a limiting baffle 3160 is provided at one end of the slide rail 330 on the bottle cutting assembly 3000 to restrict the slider 3120 from disengaging from the slide rail 3130.

[0031] In one example of this application, refer to Figure 7 As shown, the ampoule dispensing device is equipped with a bottle pusher assembly 4000, which includes a pusher module 4100 and a bottle pusher stopper 4200. The top of the bottle pusher stopper 4200 is made of rubber or other soft material to avoid breaking the bottle. The pusher module 4100 and the dispensing assembly 1000 work together to push away the part above the neck of the ampoule.

[0032] In one example of this application, refer to Figure 8 As shown, the ampoule dispensing device is equipped with a second clamp 5000 for placing a third magnet 5100. The third magnet 5100 attracts the first magnet 1121 to move the limiting slider 1120 away from the ampoule. At this time, the ampoule body falls into the recycling device from the small hole of the cavity 1110 under the neutral action.

[0033] In another embodiment of the ampoule dispensing device of this application, the clamp sidewall buckle is used to identify the clamp with an identification plate 1130, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the sign can be set as the outer cover of the placement slot 1111. The main function of the sign is to mark the work station corresponding to the clamp and to identify the different drugs loaded in the clamped ampoules.

[0034] In one example of this application, refer to Figure 9 As shown, the dispensing assembly 1000 has a through hole 1200 in the middle for collecting residual ampoule body. The lower end of the through hole is connected to a recycling device, which can be used to collect the ampoule body part that has fallen out of the cavity together, or a new recycling container can be set at the through hole to collect the bottle body part above the neck of the ampoule body separately.

[0035] Those skilled in the art should know that the fastening connection in this application includes both independent parts connected by riveting, screwing, gluing, etc., and parts that are integrally formed. The "fitting arrangement" mentioned in the above embodiments is a general term, that is, in order to enable the two parts to achieve the transmission effect, those skilled in the art know that the two parts are reasonably designed so that the two parts can cooperate with each other to achieve the transmission effect. For example, the two parts have necessary and appropriate close contact, or the two parts are both gears, and the gears of the two parts are necessary and appropriate meshing.

[0036] The ampoule dispensing device of this application, through the interaction of the clamp 1100 with the first clamp 2000 and the cutting component 3000 during movement, performs a cutting process on the neck of the ampoule, and then cooperates with the bottle pushing component 4000 to open the ampoule, avoiding the risk of drug contamination that may occur from manual opening one by one for dispensing. In addition, due to the automated batch operation, the dispensing efficiency can be improved, thus having a significant effect.

[0037] Referring to the figures in 1-9, based on the ampoule dispensing device of this application, another method is provided: Step 1, placing the ampoule in the cavity 1110, at which time the ampoule remains in the cavity 1110 under the action of the limiting slider 1120; Step 2, activating the rotating module 1300 to drive the clamp 1100 to rotate, when rotating to the bottle cutting assembly 3000, the first magnet 1121, under the repulsive action of the second magnet 2100, causes the limiting slider 1120 to press firmly. In step 3, the cutter 3200 cuts the bottle neck under the rebound force of the elastic element 3150, and completes the cutting process of the bottle neck during rotation; in step 4, the clamp 1100 rotates to the bottle pusher assembly 4000, and the pusher module 4100 pushes the bottle pusher plug 4200 to reciprocate, pushing the upper part of the bottle neck away from the bottle body and falling into the through hole 1200, and then the recycling device under the through hole 1200 recovers the upper part of the bottle neck. The rotating module 1300 stops rotating at the injection device B. After the injection device B extracts the medicine liquid from the ampoule, it injects the medicine liquid into the medicine bag assembly C for shaking and dispensing. The rotating module 1300 continues to rotate. In step 4, the clamp 1100 rotates to the second clamp 5000. Under the attraction of the third magnet 5100, the first magnet 1121 drives the limiting slider 1120 away from the ampoule. Under the action of gravity, the remaining ampoule body falls from the lower opening of the cavity 1110 into the recycling device.
