Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of needle technology, and in particular to disposable safety insulin pen needles. Background Technology
[0002] In the existing technology, there are various structural types of needle protection devices for insulin pen needles, mainly including manual protection type and automatic protection type. Among them, the manual protection type of insulin pen needle requires manual pushing of the needle guard to the protective position after injection, which is inconvenient.
[0003] Chinese Patent CN111658896B discloses an automatically triggered needle protection device and an insulin pen needle. The automatically triggered needle protection device includes at least a needle hub, a sheath, a protective cover, a spring, and a support member. The support member has at least an initial state and a supported state, configured to switch between the initial state and the supported state. In the initial state, the support base of the support member contacts the upper end of the needle hub and is provided with a circumferential limiting mechanism between it and the needle mounting part. In the supported state, the support member is disengaged from the sliding groove, and the lower end of the support arm is located above the support surface. In this structure, the protective cover is automatically triggered, eliminating the need for secondary operation during the protection process, making it simple and quick to operate. Furthermore, the support member is located on the inner side and provides axial support within the space between the protective cover and the needle hub, resulting in better safety and reliability of the support. The needle protection state cannot be easily compromised from the outside, effectively preventing the insulin pen needle from being reused.
[0004] However, the above-mentioned publicly disclosed solutions have the following shortcomings: the above solutions use a combination of rotation and limiting mechanisms to achieve the self-destruction effect of the needle, but the needle part of the above devices is mostly a cylindrical groove or protrusion structure, which is difficult to install and assemble, and the above devices have many parts, resulting in high production costs. Utility Model Content

The blocking protrusion contacts the side of the rotating rod, and the rotating rod is pressed against the side of the blocking protrusion through the torsion spring.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, this solution can achieve different locking states of the device through the combination of limiting protrusions and limiting components, and trigger the one-time self-destruction effect of the device by the pressing pressure generated during the skin insertion process.
[0013] Preferably, the inner wall of the housing is connected to a blocking member, the blocking member having a different height from the blocking protrusion, the blocking member having the same thickness as the blocking protrusion, and the blocking protrusion having the same thickness as the rotating rod.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, this solution can achieve the limiting effect of the rotating rod through the structure of the blocking component, thereby ensuring that the needle will not retract excessively inward during use, thus ensuring the stability of the injection process.
[0015] Preferably, the outer arc surface of the needle is rotatably connected to a rotating connector, one side of which is connected to a rebound spring, and the other end of the rebound spring is connected to the inner wall of the housing, and the rebound spring is in a stretched state.

[0024] This device uses a one-time-connected restraint rope to trigger its internal self-destruct mechanism, causing the needle to retract inward and become unusable for a second time. This does not affect the injection effect during the first use, ensuring the stability and safety of the device. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 The present invention will be described in further detail below.
[0033] Example 1, as Figures 1-5 As shown, in order to solve the existing problems, this utility model discloses a disposable safety insulin pen needle, including a protective cover 1 and anti-slip texture 2 on its outer side. The inner arc surface of the protective cover 1 is provided with a mating internal thread 3. A puncture needle 5 is connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the protective cover 1. It also includes a housing 4. The inner arc surface of the housing 4 is provided with an installation internal thread 6. An installation part 9 is provided at the center of the housing 4. A needle 7 is slidably connected at the center of the installation part 9. A self-destructing component 8 is connected to the outer arc surface of the needle 7.
[0034] The self-destruct component 8 includes a torsion spring housing 801 connected to the inner wall of the housing 4, a torsion spring 802 connected to the inner wall of the torsion spring housing 801, and the other end of the torsion spring 802 connected to the outer arc surface of the needle 7.
[0035] The outer arc surface of the needle 7 is connected to a rotating rod 803. The top of the torsion spring housing 801 is provided with a blocking protrusion 804. The blocking protrusion 804 contacts the side of the rotating rod 803. The rotating rod 803 is pressed against the side of the blocking protrusion 804 by the torsion spring 802.
[0036] The inner wall of the housing 4 is connected to a blocking member 807. The blocking member 807 has a different height from the blocking protrusion 804. The thickness of the blocking member 807 is the same as the thickness of the blocking protrusion 804. The thickness of the blocking protrusion 804 is the same as the thickness of the rotating rod 803.
[0037] The outer arc surface of the needle 7 is rotatably connected to a rotating connector 805. A spring 806 is connected to one side of the rotating connector 805, and the other end of the spring 806 is connected to the inner wall of the housing 4. The spring 806 is in a stretched state.
[0038] The specific working principle is as follows: the rotation effect of the needle 7 of this device enables the device to be used only once. When using this device, the protective cover 1 and the housing 4 are stored in a sterile sealed bag. When using it, the protective cover 1 is first connected to the insulin pen by thread. The insulin pen is punctured by the puncture needle 5 to stabilize the subsequent liquid output. After puncturing, the protective cover 1 is removed, and the housing 4 is installed on the insulin pen's liquid output end by the internal thread 6 for insulin injection.
[0039] During the injection process, after the needle 7 contacts the skin, it is pressed and slides towards the insulin pen, causing the rotating connector 805 to contact the bottom of the spring support 808. As the needle 7 slides inward, the rotating rod 803 and the blocking protrusion 804 are misaligned, allowing the rotating rod 803 to rotate freely. At this time, the rotating rod 803 rotates 90 degrees with the needle 7 under the action of the torsion spring 802 until the rotating rod 803 contacts the side of the blocking member 807. At this point, because the rotating connector 805 is in contact with the bottom of the spring support 808, the needle 7 cannot continue to slide inward, thus ensuring a stable injection process.
[0040] After injection, the needle 7 is pulled out from under the skin. At this time, the needle 7, no longer pressed, slides in the opposite direction under the action of the rebound spring 806. The rotating rod 803 and the blocking member 807 are misaligned, allowing the rotating rod 803 to continue rotating. During the continued rotation of the rotating rod 803, the blade 812 cuts the constraint rope 811 connected to the spring bracket 808. The spring bracket 808, no longer limited by the constraint rope 811, slides rapidly towards the insulin pen under the action of the self-destructing spring 809. When the top of the spring bracket 808 contacts the transmission ring 810 on the outer arc surface of the needle 7, the spring bracket 808 drives the needle 7 to slide inward. Since the elastic force of the two self-destructing springs 809 is greater than the elastic force of the rebound spring 806, the resultant force on the needle 7 is still in the inward contraction direction, thus achieving the effect of automatic contraction of the needle 7 after use and its inability to recover, thereby achieving the effect of disposable needle 7 of this device.
[0041] Example 2, as Figures 1-5 As shown, in order to solve the existing problems in this embodiment, based on the same concept as the first embodiment above, the disposable safety insulin pen needle further includes: a spring bracket 808 is slidably connected to the outer arc surface of the needle 7, two self-destructing springs 809 are connected to the bottom of the spring bracket 808, the other end of the self-destructing spring 809 is connected to the inner wall of the housing 4, and the self-destructing spring 809 is in a compressed state.
[0042] There is a gap between the bottom of the spring bracket 808 and the rotating connector 805. The outer arc surface of the needle 7 is connected to a transmission ring 810. There is a gap between the transmission ring 810 and the spring bracket 808. A constraint rope 811 is connected to the bottom of the spring bracket 808. The other end of the constraint rope 811 is connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the torsion spring housing 801.
[0043] The rotating rod 803 has a blade 812 on its side, which faces the blocking protrusion 804. The restraint rope 811 is located within the rotation range of the blade 812.
[0044] The specific working principle is as follows: the combination of the telescopic sliding effect of the needle 7 of this device and the rotation of the torsion spring 802 can realize the function of triggering the self-destruct structure of this device, thereby achieving the effect of avoiding secondary use of this device.
[0045] The above are all preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape and principle of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
