Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of contrast injection technology, and more specifically, to a contrast injector and injection device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in medical imaging examinations, it is often necessary to simultaneously inject two contrast agents with different properties to enhance the imaging effect of different tissue structures. For example, in liver MRI, disodium gadoxetate and superparamagnetic iron oxide are used in combination. However, traditional injection devices are mostly single-tube designs, which cannot achieve simultaneous and precise injection of two agents, resulting in inaccurate injection timing and dosage control, affecting image quality. In addition, existing equipment lacks real-time dose monitoring capabilities, is cumbersome to operate, and is prone to agent waste or contamination, making it difficult to meet the clinical demand for high-precision dual tracer injection.

[0003] In the prior art, dual-tube injection devices mostly adopt independent drive structures, which are not only bulky, but also difficult to ensure the synchronization and dosage consistency of the two drugs, affecting the accuracy of diagnosis. At the same time, the traditional syringe does not effectively isolate the drug drawing and injection tubing, which can easily cause cross-contamination or inconvenience in operation. Therefore, in order to address the above technical problems, a contrast injection syringe and injection device are proposed here. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a contrast injector and injection device that independently carries different drugs in two tubes and synchronously pushes two sets of push rods with a single motor-driven lead screw to achieve precise and equal injection of two contrast agents. The device features a tube wall scale observation window for real-time dose monitoring and a three-way valve for branch control to ensure that drug aspiration and injection do not interfere with each other, significantly improving the accuracy and operational efficiency of simultaneous injection of dual tracers. It also has a self-venting function, making it more convenient to use.

The sealing plate 5 serves to fix the movement trajectory of the push rod 3 and provide secondary sealing.

[0025] A three-way tube 6 is fixedly connected to the external outlet of the injection tube 1. The three-way tube 6 serves as the contrast agent output channel. Valves 7 are fixedly installed on the external sides of the other two tubes. Valves 7 are used to control the flow direction and opening and closing of the contrast agent. A connecting strip 8 is fixedly connected between the two sets of injection tubes 1. The connecting strip 8 serves as the supporting frame of the overall structure. Fixing rings 9 are fixedly connected to both sides of the connecting strip 8. The fixing rings 9 are fixedly connected to the external side of the injection tube 1. The fixing rings 9 are used to connect the injection tube 1 and the connecting strip 8.

[0026] A limiting groove 10 is formed inside the connecting strip 8, which serves as a motion guide rail. A slider 14 is slidably connected to the inner side of the limiting groove 10, acting as a power conversion component. Slide grooves 11 are formed on both sides of the limiting groove 10. Connecting blocks 15 are fixedly connected to both sides of the slider 14 and the two sets of push plates 4. The connecting blocks 15 are used to synchronously transmit the linear motion of the slider 14 to the push plates 4 on both sides. A push-pull mechanism is installed between the connecting strip 8 and the limiting groove 10. The push-pull mechanism includes a micro motor 12 and a lead screw 13. The micro motor 12 is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting strip 8 as a power source, and the lead screw 13 is rotatably connected to the inside of the limiting groove 10 as a transmission component. The lead screw 13 and the micro motor 12 are fixedly connected. The slider 14 is threaded to the outside of the lead screw 13 to convert the rotational motion into linear motion.

[0027] An observation window 16 is provided on the outside of the injection tube 1. The observation window 16 is used to observe the remaining amount of contrast agent in real time. A scale 17 is fixedly connected to the outside of the injection tube 1 and is installed on the side close to the observation window 16. The scale 17 is used to accurately measure the amount of contrast agent used.

[0028] This application also proposes an injection device including the above-described contrast injector, which has all the functional characteristics of a contrast injector.

[0029] The working principle of a contrast injector based on an embodiment is as follows: When two contrast agents with different properties need to be used simultaneously, such as simultaneously injecting gadoxetine disodium to visualize the hepatobiliary phase and superparamagnetic iron oxide to visualize Kupffer cells in liver MRI, the two agents can be injected independently into two sets of symmetrically installed injection tubes 1. During injection, the micro motor 12 is activated to drive the lead screw 13 to rotate. Since the slider 14 is threaded to the outside of the lead screw 13, the rotation of the lead screw 13 can be precisely converted into the linear movement of the slider 14 along the limiting groove 10. The movement of the slider 14 synchronously drives the push plates 4 on both sides to push into the injection tube 1 through the connecting block 15, which in turn drives the push rod 3 to push the sealing member 2 fixed at its end to slide inside the injection tube 1, thereby simultaneously and equally ejecting the two agents from the end of the injection tube 1. The output is via a three-way tube 6 fixed at the outlet. The operation of the micro motor 12 ensures stable thrust and precise control of injection speed and dosage. The operator can observe the remaining amount of the two drugs in real time through the observation window 16 and scale 17 on the outside of the injection tube 1, which facilitates monitoring the input process. In addition, the valve 7 installed on the three-way tube 6 makes it easy to draw out different drugs and connect the injection tubing before injection, so that the drug drawing and injection processes do not interfere with each other. The operation is convenient and efficient, which significantly improves the accuracy and convenience of simultaneous injection of dual tracers and helps to improve diagnostic effects such as tumor detection rate. Furthermore, when gas enters the injection tube 1 due to drug drawing, the rotating sleeve 19 can be rotated independently. Through engagement with the threaded groove 18, it drives the push rod 3 to push, realizing the venting function and making the injection effect more precise.
