[0034] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the solution of this utility model will be further described below. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments of this utility model and the features thereof can be combined with each other.

[0035] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0036] The existing disposable injection needles for dentistry (specifically for Bilan anesthesia) have the entire needle exposed after the cap is opened. After administering the anesthetic to the patient, when recapping the needle, medical staff need to first use one hand to lift the cap with the needle tip and then use both hands to recap it. Many medical staff sometimes find this inconvenient and can only leave the needle exposed in the operating tray.

[0037] During oral surgery, patients may require additional anesthetic treatment due to their condition. Between the initial and subsequent injections, the anesthetic needle is exposed on the operating table, posing a risk of accidental puncture and infection to the surgeon, significantly increasing the occupational exposure risk for healthcare workers.

[0038] To resolve the above technical issues, please refer to Figures 1 to 6 This application provides an injection needle assembly 100, which may include an injection needle and a bellows 130.

[0039] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3The injection needle includes a needle shaft 110 and a base 120. The needle shaft 110 includes an insertion end and a connecting end, the connecting end being connected to the base 120. The insertion end is used to pierce the patient's skin. The base 120 is provided with a threaded hole, the opening of which is located away from the needle shaft 110. The threaded hole is used to connect to a syringe.

[0040] The bellows 130 is a stretchable tubular structure. The bellows 130 is sleeved on the circumferential outer side of the injection needle. The bellows 130 includes a first end 131 near the needle bar 110 and a second end 132 away from the needle bar 110. The second end 132 is movably connected to the base 120.

[0041] Among them, the bellows 130 includes a first state (e.g. Figure 2 The bellows shown in the diagram represents the first state and the second state (e.g., the second state). Figure 3 (The bellows shown in the diagram) When the bellows 130 is in the first state, the bellows 130 covers the circumferential outer side of the base 120, and the needle bar 110 is exposed to the bellows 130. When the bellows 130 is in the second state, the bellows 130 covers the circumferential outer side of the needle bar 110, and the needle bar 110 is located inside the bellows 130.

[0042] It should be noted that during the use of the injection needle assembly 100, in the initial state, that is, after the doctor opens the outer packaging of the injection needle assembly 100, the bellows 130 is in the first state. After the doctor assembles the injection needle assembly 100 into the syringe, the doctor can give the patient the first injection of anesthetic. After the first injection of anesthetic, the doctor adjusts the bellows 130 from the first state to the second state, so that the needle shaft 110 is under the protection of the bellows 130. Then the injection needle assembly 100 is placed on the sterile cloth. When the doctor needs to give the patient a second or multiple injections of anesthetic, the bellows 130 is adjusted from the second state to the first state.

[0043] In this way, during the time between multiple injections of anesthetic by the doctor, the corrugated tube 130 can protect the needle shaft 110, preventing the doctor from accidentally touching it and causing puncture, reducing the risk of infection for the doctor, and reducing the occupational exposure risk for medical staff.

[0044] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figures 2 to 4 The base 120 has a first slide rail 121 on its outer peripheral surface. The first slide rail 121 extends along the needle bar 110 toward the base 120. The injection needle assembly 100 also includes a first connecting post 140. The first connecting post 140 includes a first slider and a first connecting rod connected together. The second end 132 is connected to the first connecting rod. The first slider is slidably engaged with the first slide rail 121. The first slider can slide in the extending direction of the first slide rail 121.

[0045] In this way, by setting the first slide rail 121 and the first slider in a sliding fit, the stability of the bellows 130 in adjusting and switching between the first state and the second state can be guaranteed, that is, the stability of the bellows 130 in the stretching and compression process.

[0046] For details, please refer to Figure 4 The first slide rail 121 is formed as a slide groove. In the depth direction of the slide groove, the slide groove includes a first groove segment and a second groove segment. The first groove segment is connected to the opening of the slide groove. The width of the first groove segment is smaller than the width of the second groove segment. The first slider is located in the second groove segment. The width of the first slider is greater than the width of the first groove segment and smaller than the width of the second groove segment.

[0047] This enables the interaction and cooperation between the first connecting rod and the first slide rail 121.

[0048] Furthermore, a second slide rail 122 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the base 120. The second slide rail 122 extends along the direction of the injection needle toward the base 120, and the second slide rail 122 and the first slide rail 121 are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the base 120. The injection needle assembly 100 also includes a second connecting post 150, which includes a connected second slider and a second connecting rod. The second end 132 is connected to the second connecting rod. The second slider is slidably engaged with the second slide rail 122, and the second slider can slide in the extending direction of the second slide rail 122.

[0049] In this way, by setting the first slide rail 121 and the first connecting post 150 to cooperate with each other, and the second slide rail 122 and the second connecting post 150 to cooperate with each other, the stability of the bellows 130 during the stretching and compression process can be further guaranteed.

[0050] The second connecting post 150 can have the same structure as the first connecting post 140, and the second slide rail 122 can have the same structure as the first slide rail 121.

[0051] Furthermore, the first slide rail 121 and the second slide rail 122 are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the needle bar 110, and the first connecting post 140 and the second connecting post 150 are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the needle bar 110. This further ensures the stability of the bellows 130 during stretching and compression.

[0052] Please refer to some embodiments of this application. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The injection needle assembly 100 also includes a cover plate 160, which is located on the side where the first end 131 of the bellows 130 is located. The first end 131 is connected to the cover plate 160. The cover plate 160 is provided with a through hole 161, through which the needle bar 110 passes.

[0053] It should be noted that by setting the cover plate 160, when the bellows 130 is in the second state, the cover plate 160 can cover the first end 131 of the bellows 130, and further cover the needle bar 110 in the space enclosed by the bellows 130 and the cover plate 160, so as to prevent the doctor from accidentally touching the insertion end of the needle bar 110 and reduce the possibility of the doctor being infected.

[0054] Furthermore, the orthographic projection of the base 120 onto the cover plate 160 is located within the cover plate 160. That is, the radial dimension of the cover plate 160 is larger than the radial dimension of the cover plate 160, which facilitates the doctor to switch the bellows 130 between the first and second states by pushing and pulling the cover plate 160.

[0055] Please refer to some embodiments of this application. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The base 120 is provided with a first receiving cavity 123 with a first opening facing the needle bar 110. The injection needle assembly 100 also includes a first elastic element 170, which is disposed in the first receiving cavity 123. One end of the first elastic element 170 is connected to the cover plate 160, and the other end is connected to the bottom wall of the first receiving cavity 123. The first elastic element 170 always applies a pushing force away from the base 120 to the cover plate 160.

[0056] Therefore, by setting the first elastic element 170, the bellows 130 can be provided with the power to adjust from the first state to the second state, so as to realize the bellows 130 switching from the first state to the second state.

[0057] For further information, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The cover plate 160 has a first protrusion 162 on the side facing the opening. The first protrusion 162 can extend into the first receiving cavity 123 through the first opening. The first protrusion 162 has a first locking part. The inner wall of the first receiving cavity 123 has a second locking part, and the first locking part and the second locking part lock together.

[0058] Therefore, by setting the first locking part and the second locking part, when the bellows 130 is in the first state, the first locking part and the second locking part are locked, which can keep the bellows 130 in the first state, making it convenient for doctors to inject anesthetic. When it is necessary to switch the bellows 130 from the first state to the second state, it is only necessary to unlock the first locking part and the second locking part. Under the action of the first elastic member 170, the bellows 130 switches from the first state to the second state.

[0059] Specifically, the first locking part is a first locking pin 164, one end of which is located on the outer peripheral surface of the first protrusion 162. The second locking part is a first locking track 125, which includes a vertical track 1251 and a horizontal track 1252 connected together. The vertical track 1251 extends to the upper end surface of the base 120. The first locking pin 164 and the first locking track 125 are slidably engaged.

[0060] The first locking rail 125 has the same structure as the first slide rail 121, and the first locking pin 164 has the same structure as the first connecting rod. The first locking pin 164 moves downward first, so that the free end of the first locking pin 164 moves from the vertical rail 1251 to the horizontal rail 1252. Then, the cover plate 160 is rotated so that the free end of the first locking pin 164 is located in the horizontal rail 1252 and is offset from the vertical rail 1251, thereby limiting the cover plate 160 in the vertical direction.

[0061] When unlocking, the doctor only needs to rotate the cover plate 160 in the opposite direction so that the free end of the first locking pin 164 enters the vertical track 1251. Under the action of the first elastic element 170, the bellows 130 switches between the first state and the second state.

[0062] Furthermore, the base 120 is provided with a second receiving cavity 124 having a second opening facing the needle bar 110. The second receiving cavity 124 and the first receiving cavity 123 are circumferentially spaced apart from each other on the base 120. The injection needle assembly 100 may also include a second elastic member 180, which is disposed in the second receiving cavity 124. One end of the second elastic member 180 is connected to the cover plate 160, and the other end is connected to the bottom wall of the second receiving cavity 124. The second elastic member 180 always applies a pushing force to the cover plate 160 away from the base 120.

[0063] It is understandable that by setting the first elastic element 170 and the second elastic element 180, the stability of the bellows 130 during the process of switching from the first position to the second position can be further guaranteed.

[0064] Both the first elastic element 170 and the second elastic element 180 can be springs.

[0065] Furthermore, the cover plate 160 has a second protrusion 163 on the side facing the opening. The second protrusion 163 can extend into the second receiving cavity 124 through the second opening. The second protrusion 163 is provided with a second locking pin. The inner wall of the second receiving cavity 124 is provided with a second locking track. The second locking pin and the second locking track are slidably engaged.

[0066] The structure of the second locking pin can be the same as that of the first locking pin 164, and the structure of the second locking track can be the same as that of the first locking track 125.
