Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a port connector and a drug infusion device including the same.

Background Art

[0002] Drugs can be injected into the body in various ways such as oral, subcutaneous, and intravenous administration according to the type, treatment purpose, and method. A drug injector using a drug pump can automatically inject drugs into the body at a desired speed and dose at a desired time. Therefore, a drug injector using a drug pump is used in hospitals and the daily living environment of patients, and can be utilized in various forms.

[0003] Generally, an insulin pump, which is called an insulin injector, is for diabetic patients in whom insulin is not secreted or only a small amount is secreted, and it plays a role like the pancreas that regulates blood glucose by accurately supplying insulin from the outside into the body at a fixed time.

[0004] Such an insulin pump is used by insulin-dependent diabetic patients and can continuously inject drugs for 24 hours while attached to the patient. Thus, since an insulin injector must inject drugs periodically over a long period for diabetic patients, for the convenience of users, active technological development for miniaturization and automation of insulin injectors has been carried out.

[0005] Due to the development of technologies for miniaturization and automation of insulin injectors, the internal configuration can change, and every time a specific configuration changes, it is difficult in manufacturing to replace the entire configuration combined with it.

[0006] Therefore, a device that can flexibly cope with changes in a specific configuration is required.

[0018] FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of a drug injection device according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a rear perspective view of a drug injection device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a plan view of the inside of the housing shown in FIG. 1.

[0019] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, a patch-type drug injection device

[100] according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. The patch-type drug injection pump

[100] includes a housing

[110] and components disposed inside the housing

[110] .

[0020] The housing

[110] includes a cover portion

[111] and a contact surface

[112] , and a mounting space is formed between the cover portion

[111] and the contact surface

[112] . The cover portion

[111] has rounded corners, and the patch-type drug injection device

[100] can maintain a state of continuously adhering to the injection target without a sense of foreign matter. The contact surface

[112] is configured to adhere to the injection target, and a discharge port [112a] for pulling out an insertion tube to the outside is formed.

[0021] The mounting space is divided into a central region

[113] and first to third regions [114, 115, 116], and the first to third regions [114, 115, 116] are formed in a form surrounding the central region

[113] . In particular, the mounting space in the housing

[110] is divided into first to third regions [114, 115, 116] and a central region

[113] that expand in a direction perpendicular to the insertion direction of the insertion tube. Note that main components are coupled to each region. In the normal case, since the PCB circuit portion is disposed first over the entire plane or most of the device, and a drug storage portion, a pump, etc. are disposed on top of it, there is a problem that the thickness of the device is formed thick. However, the patch-type drug injection device

[100] of the present invention minimizes the regions where the components overlap each other in order to reduce the thickness.

[0022] The components include a drug storage unit 120, a pump assembly 130, a port connector 140, an injection assembly 150, and a circuit unit 160, which can be arranged in the aforementioned central region 113 and the first to third regions 114, 115, and 116. For example, the drug storage unit 120 may be placed in the first region 114, the pump assembly 130 and port connector 140 in the second region 115, the circuit unit 160 in the third region 116, and the injection assembly 150 in the central region 113, with the drug storage unit 120, pump assembly 130, port connector 140, and circuit unit 160 arranged in a manner that surrounds the injection assembly 150.

[0023] Figure 4 is a plan view of the drug storage section shown in Figure 3. As shown in Figure 4, the drug storage section 120 stores the drug to be injected, and its thickness changes according to the amount of drug to be injected. The drug storage section 120 can be provided in a flat pouch bag made of polymer material. Around the drug storage section 120, a sealing section 121 can be formed where both sides constituting the drug storage section 120 are joined by a predetermined width. The sealing section 121 can limit the expansion of the drug storage section 120 towards the periphery of the drug.

[0024] The drug storage section 120 can be made of a polymer film or the like, and the inside and outside of the drug storage section 120 are made of materials with different melting points, with the melting point of the internal material set lower than that of the external material. The drug storage section 120 is produced by applying heat at a predetermined temperature at which the internal material melts, forming a sealed section 121. When heat is applied to the sides of the sealed section 121, the internal materials adhere to each other and are sealed, and the bottom is folded into a W shape and heated. The internal materials adhere to each other, while the external materials do not adhere to each other, and are sealed in a wrinkled shape. Unlike conventional techniques, since the drug storage section 120 is made thin using a flexible material, the patch-type drug injection device 100 can be made even thinner and lighter.

[0025] Furthermore, a drug inlet / outlet 122 is connected to the drug storage unit 120, allowing drugs to flow into the drug storage unit 120 or drugs stored in the drug storage unit 120 to be discharged to the outside.

[0026] Figure 5 is a plan view of the pump assembly shown in Figure 3, Figure 6 is a schematic block diagram showing the configuration of the pump assembly shown in Figure 5, Figure 7 is a schematic block diagram showing the configuration of the drive unit shown in Figure 6, and Figure 8 is an illustrative diagram showing the schematic operation of the drive unit shown in Figure 7.

[0027] The pump assembly 130 will be described in detail with reference to Figures 5 to 8.

[0028] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the pump assembly 130 is an electrochemically driven pump and includes a drive unit 131, a transfer chamber 132, an suction unit 133, and a discharge unit 134. The drive unit 131 is electrochemically driven by a control signal to generate positive and negative pressure, draw in a drug from the drug storage unit 120 and store it in the transfer chamber 132, and discharge the drug stored in the transfer chamber 132 to the injection assembly 150. The transfer chamber 132 contains the drug drawn in from the drug storage unit 120 by the drive unit 131. The suction unit 133 transfers the drug from the drug storage unit 120 to the transfer chamber 132, and the discharge unit 134 discharges the drug from the transfer chamber 132 into the insertion tube 151 of the injection assembly 150. Here, the drug is a drug to be injected into a specific patient, and insulin injected into a diabetic patient can be given as an example.

[0029] Referring to Figures 7 and 8, the drive unit 131 will be described in detail. The drive unit 131 is a pump that utilizes the movement of fluid due to the electroosmotic phenomenon that occurs when a voltage or current is applied to both ends of a pressure generating unit (membrane 131a) using electrodes. The drive unit 131 may include a membrane 131a, a power supply 131d that applies a voltage or current to a first electrode 131b and a second electrode 131c located on both sides of the membrane 131a, and a first diaphragm 131e and a second diaphragm 131f for the movement of the fluid. Each diaphragm 131e and 131f is provided on one side and the other side of the membrane 131a, and their shapes are deformed by the movement of the pumping solution as positive and negative pressure are alternately generated. Illustratively, the first diaphragm 131e and the second diaphragm 131f transmit the negative and positive pressure generated by the driving of the membrane 131a to the fluid to be transferred. More specifically, when negative pressure is generated, at least a portion of the first diaphragm 131e and the second diaphragm 131f are moved backward (when moved in the direction of circled number 1), and the fluid to be transferred is drawn into the transfer chamber 132. Conversely, when positive pressure is generated, at least a portion of the first diaphragm 131e and the second diaphragm 131f are moved forward (when moved in the direction of circled number 2), and the fluid to be transferred is discharged from the transfer chamber 132.

[0030] The membrane 131a is typically made of materials such as silica or glass, and when immersed in an aqueous solution, its surface becomes negatively charged. The membrane 131a has numerous fluid pathways, and when one of these is viewed under magnification, the surface of the negatively charged fluid pathway can be balanced by mobile cations with a positive charge that can move. In this state, applying a positive voltage to the first electrode 131b and a negative voltage to the second electrode 131c generates negative pressure, and this negative pressure moves the fluid inside the drive unit 131 in the direction of the circled number 1. At this time, the drug is inhaled through the inhalation passage 133b and flows into the transfer chamber 132 through the first check valve 133a. At this time, the second check valve 134a is closed to prevent negative pressure from being transmitted to the discharge passage 134b. Conversely, when a negative voltage is applied to the first electrode 131b and a positive voltage to the second electrode 131c, a reversible electrochemical reaction generates positive pressure in the opposite direction. This positive pressure causes the fluid inside the drive unit 131 to move in the direction of the circled number 2. At this time, the drug stored in the transfer chamber 132 is injected into the target body through the discharge passage 134b via the second check valve 134a. At this time, the first check valve 133a is blocked to prevent positive pressure from being transmitted to the inhalation passage 133b.

[0031] This phenomenon is called electroosmosis, and a pump that uses this principle is called an electroosmotic pump. The patch-type drug injection device 100 of the present invention uses a pump assembly 130 as a driving means, so it can be manufactured with a thin overall thickness and can adhere more stably to the skin.

[0032] Figure 9 is a perspective view showing the coupling structure of the drug storage unit, pump assembly, and port connector shown in Figure 3.

[0033] As shown in Figure 9, the port connector 140 is positioned between the drug storage unit 120 and the pump assembly 130, and is connected to both the drug storage unit 120 and the pump assembly 130. It provides a flow path for the drug flowing from the drug storage unit 120 into the pump assembly 130, and a flow path for the drug discharged from the pump assembly 130 into the insertion tube 151 of the injection assembly 150.

[0034] Figure 10 is a front perspective view of the port connector shown in Figure 3, and Figure 11 is a cross-section cut along the cutting line A-A' shown in Figure 10.

[0035] As shown in Figures 10 and 11, the port connector 140 is connected to the drug storage unit 120, the pump assembly 130, and the insertion tube 151 of the injection assembly 150, and includes a main body 141 in which a first flow path 142 and a second flow path 143 are formed.

[0036] The main body 141 may include a housing 141a, a partition wall 141b, and a support portion 141c. The housing 141a has a predetermined space formed inside, and the partition wall 141b is positioned inside the housing 141a, dividing the internal space of the housing 141a into a first space and a second space. A first flow path 142 is positioned in the first space, and a second flow path 143 is positioned in the second space. The ends of the housing 141a and the ends of the partition wall 141b may be formed to have a predetermined area for a sealed connection with the ends of the pump assembly 130.

[0037] The support portion 141c connects the housing 141a to the first flow path 142 or the second flow path 143, or connects the partition wall 141b to the first flow path 142 or the second flow path 143, thereby fixing the first flow path 142 and the second flow path 143.

[0038] The first channel 142 is a channel through which the drug moves from the drug storage unit 120 to the pump assembly 130, and the second channel 143 is a channel through which the drug moves from the pump assembly 130 to the insertion tube 151.

[0039] Here, the first channel 142 and the second channel 143 can be formed in a cylindrical shape, and the length of the first channel 142 can be made longer than the length of the second channel 143. The first channel 142 and the second channel 143 are formed inside the main body 141, parallel to each other, and the difference in length between the first channel 142 and the second channel 143 can result in a shape as shown in Figure 11. With this shape of the port connector 140, the drug injection device 100 of the present invention can maximize space utilization by positioning the injection assembly 150 that injects the drug into the user below the second channel 143 of the port connector 140, as shown in Figure 4, thereby minimizing the size and reducing inconvenience to the user.

[0040] The first flow path 142 is connected at one end to the drug storage unit 120 and at the other end to the pump assembly 130, and the second flow path 143 is connected at one end to the injection assembly 150 and at the other end to the pump assembly 130. Due to this connection structure, the main body 141 includes first to fourth coupling grooves 144, 145, 146, and 147. The first coupling groove 144 is formed on one side of the first flow path 142 and the drug inlet / outlet 122 of the drug storage unit 120 is inserted into and coupled to it, and the second coupling groove 145 is formed on the other side of the first flow path 142 and the suction part 133 of the pump assembly 130 is inserted into and coupled to it. A third coupling groove 146 is formed on one side of the second flow path 143, and the insertion tube 151 of the injection assembly 150 is coupled to it. A fourth coupling groove 147 is formed on the other side of the second flow path 143, and the discharge section 134 of the pump assembly 130 is inserted and coupled to it. Here, the third coupling groove 146 may further include a sealing member (not shown) that seals the coupling portion with the insertion tube 151.

[0041] Figure 12 is a rear perspective view of the port connector, and Figure 13 is a cross-sectional view taken along the cutting line B-B' shown in Figure 12.

[0042] As shown in Figures 12 and 13, the port connector 140 may further include a drug injection passage 148 in the main body 141. The drug injection passage 148 is formed in a direction intersecting the direction of travel of the first flow path 142, with one end communicating with the first flow path 142 and the other end open to the outside. The drug injection passage 148 is a passage through which a drug can be injected into the first flow path 142 using a drug injection syringe, and is used when filling the drug storage section 120 with a drug at the initial stage of operation of the drug injection device 100 of the present invention.

[0043] Thus, the port connector 140 acts as an intermediary for transferring drugs between the drug storage unit 120 and the pump assembly 130, and between the pump assembly 130 and the injection assembly 150, thereby increasing the versatility of the pump assembly 130. If the pump assembly 130, drug storage unit 120, and injection assembly 150 were directly connected, the structure of the pump assembly 130 would also have to be changed if the shape of the connection part of the drug storage unit 120 or the injection assembly 150 changed. However, by using the port connector 140 to maintain the structure of the pump assembly 130 and changing the connection part of the port connector 140 in accordance with the modified structure of the drug storage unit 120 and the injection assembly 150, the versatility of the pump assembly 130 can be expanded.

[0044] As shown in Figure 4, the injection assembly 150, including the insertion tube 151, can inject the drug discharged from the pump assembly 130 into the target of injection. The circuit section 160 can include electronic components necessary for driving and controlling the pump assembly 130 and a battery 161 for supplying power.

[0045] In addition, the additional configurations of the patch-type drug infusion device 100 will be described with reference to Figures 1 and 2.

[0046] As shown in Figure 1, the covering portion 111 of the housing 110 has a shooting hole 111a formed in the area corresponding to the area where the injection assembly 150 is located. The shooting hole 111a is a hole into which a shooting member of a shooting device (not shown) that pressurizes the injection assembly 150 so that the insertion tube 151 can be inserted into the injection target is inserted.

[0047] As shown in Figure 2, a drug injection hole 112b and an air vent hole 112c are formed on the contact surface 112 of the housing 110. The drug injection hole 112b is a hole for supplying drugs stored in the drug storage section 120 from the outside, and the air vent hole 112c is a hole for removing the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the housing 110. The drug injection hole 112b is formed at a position corresponding to the drug injection passage 148 formed in the port connector 140, and drugs can be injected through the drug injection hole 112b and the drug injection passage 148 using a syringe or the like.

[0048] The patch-type drug injection device 100 includes a sound output device (not shown) inside the housing 110, which can provide notification for specific situations. The circuit section 160 includes a sound output circuit section that can stop the operation of the sound output device (not shown), and a buzzer stop hole 112d can be formed in the contact surface 112, providing a passage for operating the sound output circuit section of the circuit section 160. Silicone caps can be attached to the outlet 112a and the drug injection hole 112b, and air vent stickers can be attached to the air vent hole 112c and the buzzer stop hole 112d.

[0049] A person with ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains will understand, based on the above description, that the invention can be readily modified into other specific forms without altering the technical idea or essential features of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments described above should be understood to be illustrative and not limiting.
