[0042] Research has found that, in related technologies, injection pens include: a pen body, a pen cap, and a pen cover. The pen cap is assembled at the beginning of the pen body, and the pen cover is assembled at the end of the pen body. The pen cap and pen cover create a relatively sealed space at both ends of the pen body.

[0043] However, because the pen cap is inserted into the pen body, the support inside the pen body and the end of the pen cap are against each other. During the overall carrying of the injection pen, the support is prone to wobbling between the pen body and the pen cap, which can cause other internal components of the pen body to become misaligned.

[0044] Therefore, how to prevent the support from shaking is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field.

[0045] The shortcomings of the above solutions are the result of the utility model inventor's practice and careful research. Therefore, the discovery process of the above problems and the solutions proposed in this disclosure should be considered as contributions made by the utility model inventor to this disclosure.

[0046] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0047] The following detailed description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes some embodiments of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0048] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, some embodiments provide a cap structure, including: a cap outer tube 3, the outer contour of which is circular or a regular polygon; a central boss 31 is provided inside the cap outer tube 3; and a bracket 9 limiting rib assembly 4 is provided between the cap outer tube 3 and the central boss 31.

[0049] Please see Figure 5 The following describes the composition of the rib assembly 4. The rib assembly 4 includes rib one 41 and rib two 42 arranged interlockingly. Rib one 41 is disposed on the inner wall of the cap outer cylinder 3 and abuts against the outer wall of the bracket 9. Rib two 42 is disposed on the outer wall of the central boss 31 and abuts against the inner wall of the bracket 9. After the bracket 9 is assembled with the cap structure, the outer wall of the bracket 9 abuts against rib one 41, and the inner wall of the bracket 9 abuts against rib two 42.

[0050] Please see Figure 1 and combined Figure 5 Both rib 41 and rib 42 have chamfered surfaces on their tops. The height of rib 41 is greater than that of rib 42. The main purpose of this design is to facilitate the insertion of the bracket 9 between the outer cylinder 3 of the cap and the central boss 31. Ribs 41 and rib 42 are set at equal intervals, and there are slots between adjacent ribs to reduce the overall weight of the cap structure.

[0051] Please see Figure 1 and combined Figures 2 to 3To ensure a stable connection between the cap structure and the pen body, the outer wall of the cap outer tube 3 is provided with at least one deformation opening 5. Protrusions 6 are provided on both sides of the deformation opening 5 towards the outer wall of the cap outer tube 3. When the pen body is fitted onto the protrusions 6 of the cap outer tube 3, the deformation opening 5 deforms. When the protrusion 6 moves to the slot position of the pen body, the pressure on the protrusion 6 is released, and the deformation opening 5 springs back to its original state. The protrusion 6 is then rebounded to pass through the slot, thus connecting the pen body and the cap outer tube 3. It should be further noted that when the protrusion 6 is compressed, it drives the two sides of the deformation opening 5 to deform towards the center of the cap outer tube 3. A chamfered surface is provided above the protrusion 6.

[0052] Please see Figure 3 The outer wall of the cap outer cylinder 3 is provided with at least one guide protrusion 7. A mirrored arc-shaped protrusion 32 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the central protrusion 31. The upper part of the arc-shaped protrusion 32 is used to abut against the lower part of the bracket 9 to achieve a supporting effect. In addition, a weight-reducing groove is formed between adjacent arc-shaped protrusions 32.

[0053] Please see Figure 1 and combined Figures 2 to 3 Some embodiments provide a cap structure, including: a cap outer cylinder 3 disposed at the tail end of the pen body; a rib assembly 4 adapted to position a bracket 9; a locking member 8 adapted to fix the bracket 9; and the locking member 8 includes at least one set of clips 81, with each set consisting of two clips 81; a slot 82 is formed between the two clips 81; wherein after the bracket 9 is assembled with the cap structure, the locking strip 91 on the bracket 9 is adapted to be inserted into the slot 82, that is, the first rib 41 is disposed on the inner wall of the cap outer cylinder 3 and abuts against the outer wall of the bracket 9, and the second rib 42 is disposed on the outer wall of the central boss 31 and abuts against the inner wall of the bracket 9.

[0054] Please see Figure 3 The rib assembly 4 includes rib one 41 and rib two 42. Rib one 41 is evenly spaced on the inner wall of the cap outer cylinder 3; rib two 42 is evenly spaced on the outer wall of the central boss 31 of the cap outer cylinder 3; and chamfered surfaces are provided above rib one 41 and rib two 42. The main purpose of this design is to facilitate the insertion of the bracket 9 between the cap outer cylinder 3 and the central boss 31. Rib one 41 and rib two 42 are evenly spaced, and there are slots between adjacent ribs to reduce the overall weight of the cap structure. After the bracket 9 is assembled with the cap structure, the outer wall of the bracket 9 abuts against rib one 41, and the inner wall of the bracket 9 abuts against rib two 42.

[0055] Please see Figure 4 Some embodiments provide an injection pen, including: a housing 2, a support 9, and a cap structure as described above; the housing 2 is fitted onto the cap structure, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 3 The support frame is set inside the cap structure.

[0056] In summary, by setting the rib assembly 4, it achieves the effect of simultaneously limiting the outer and inner circumferential surfaces of the support 9, solving the problem of the support 9 wobbling between the cap structure and the pen body, and improving the stability of the support 9 inside the pen body during the carrying of the injection pen 1.
