Description

Fluid precision delivery device based on electromagnetic drive and application thereof to dressing product TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of fluid delivery, in particular to a fluid precision delivery device based on electromagnetic drive and application thereof to dressing product. BACKGROUND

[0002] In clinical practice, it is often necessary to deliver therapeutic fluid into the body of a patient in a timed and quantified manner. For example, for diabetes, it is necessary to inject insulin into the body of a part of diabetic patients in a timed and quantified manner. In order to improve the convenience of delivery and the accuracy of single delivery, more and more fluid delivery devices have been developed.

[0003] The fluid delivery device mainly pushes the fluid in the liquid reservoir out through a linear movement driving mechanism driving a plunger. The linear movement driving mechanism generally comprises a power mechanism and a screw nut structure cooperating with each other. The power mechanism drives the screw to rotate, which is converted into the linear movement of the nut. The nut pushes the plunger to move through its linear movement. The power mechanism is usually an electric motor. Such power mechanism has the following problems.

[0004] The motor rotates relatively fast, and a set of speed reduction gear system is needed to reduce the speed, resulting in a relatively large size, which is contrary to the development trend of lightness, thinness and miniaturization.

[0005] Due to the limitation of the minimum angle of rotation of the motor, the rotation angle cannot be very small, and the rotation angle resolution is low, resulting in low delivery accuracy of the liquid.

[0006] The motor has a large operating noise, which affects the use experience of the patient.

[0007] The motor has a high cost. When the fluid delivery device is a disposable consumable, the use of the motor has a low cost performance. In addition, the motor structure is complex and has poor use reliability.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0053] In order to make the content of the present application more easily understood, the present application is further described in detail below according to specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0054] Embodiment One

[0055] As shown in Figs. 1 to 16, a fluid precision delivery device based on electromagnetic driving comprises:

[0056] a liquid reservoir 1;

[0057] a liquid pushing mechanism 2 comprising a piston 21 and a pushing rod 22 connected to each other, the piston 21 being slidingly fitted in the liquid reservoir 1 and being not allowed to rotate relative to the liquid reservoir 1;

[0058] The rotating wheel 3 has a threaded rod 31 screwed with the push rod 22, and when the rotating wheel 3 rotates towards the first direction, the push liquid mechanism 2 is pushed to move along the liquid pushing direction by the cooperation of the threaded rod 31 and the push rod 22.

[0059] The electromagnetic actuating mechanism includes an electromagnet 61, a cooperation block 62 and a reset element 63, when the electromagnet 61 is powered, the electromagnet 61 applies an attractive force or a repulsive force to the cooperation block 62 to make the cooperation block 62 move towards the corresponding direction, and when the electromagnet 61 is powered off, the reset element 63 resets the cooperation block 62, and the cooperation block 62 is used to drive the rotating wheel 3 to rotate towards the first direction during the movement or the reset of the cooperation block 62.

[0060] The embodiment adopts electromagnetic driving as the power for the movement of the push liquid mechanism 2, and converts the movement of the cooperation block 62 towards the corresponding direction into the movement of the rotating wheel 3 rotating towards the first direction, compared with the ordinary motor, the operation noise is small, the structure is simplified, and the reduction system is also omitted, and the whole fluid delivery device and even the application of the fluid delivery device such as the insulin patch, the pain relief patch and the anesthetic patch can be lighter and thinner, more miniature, improve the patient's use comfort, and reduce the use cost, and is suitable for use as a disposable medical product; and the electromagnetic actuating mechanism in the embodiment is also more energy-saving in use, and a small capacity power supply such as a small capacity and small size battery can meet the use requirements, so as to make the whole fluid delivery device and even the application of the fluid delivery device such as the patch further lighter and thinner, more miniature. In addition, the embodiment realizes the feeding rotation of the rotating wheel 3 by intermittently supplying power to the electromagnet 61, and in each cycle, the rotating wheel 3 can only rotate a very small angle, and correspondingly, the amount of movement of the push liquid mechanism 2 is also very small, and the fluid delivery resolution can be very high, and can meet the demand of high-precision medical administration.

[0061] It should be noted that if the cooperation block 62 moves under the action of the attractive force applied by the electromagnet 61, the cooperation block 62 can be a magnet, or a non-magnet block made of magnetic material, and if the cooperation block 62 moves under the action of the repulsive force applied by the electromagnet 61, the cooperation block 62 is a magnet.

[0062] In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 16, the fluid precision delivery device based on electromagnetic drive further comprises a carrier 9, which is provided with a reservoir groove 91, a push rod groove 92 and a rotating wheel groove 93, at least a part of the reservoir 1, at least a part of the push rod 22 and at least a part of the rotating wheel 3 are respectively constrained in the reservoir groove 91, the push rod groove 92 and the rotating wheel groove 93. The grooves of the carrier 9 play a role of constraint and fixation for the components, and integrate the whole fluid precision delivery device based on electromagnetic drive as a whole. The carrier 9 is further provided with a threaded rod groove, which is connected with the push rod groove 92, and a gland is further provided on the carrier 9 to constrain the threaded rod or the push rod 22 in the corresponding groove, so as to prevent the components from being separated from the grooves on the carrier 9.

[0063] In the embodiment, the structure for preventing the liquid pushing mechanism 2 from rotating relative to the reservoir 1 can be various. In the example shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the cross section of the reservoir 1 perpendicular to the liquid pushing direction is set as an ellipse, and the cross section of the piston 21 perpendicular to the liquid pushing direction is also set as an ellipse, so as to prevent the liquid pushing mechanism 2 from rotating relative to the reservoir 1. Of course, the cross section of the reservoir 1 and the piston 21 perpendicular to the liquid pushing direction can also be other non-circular structures such as square, triangle, pentagon, hexagon, etc. The liquid pushing mechanism 2 can also be prevented from rotating relative to the reservoir 1 by the cooperation of keys and key grooves, etc.

[0064] In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, one of the push rod 22 and the threaded rod 31 is provided with external threads, and the other is provided with internal threads, so as to realize threaded connection. In the example shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the push rod 22 is provided with external threads 221, and the threaded rod 31 is a hollow structure and is provided with internal threads 311. The threaded connection between the external threads 221 and the internal threads 311 converts the rotation of the rotating wheel 3 into the linear movement of the push rod 22 along the axial direction.

[0065] In the embodiment, the reset element 63 can be an elastic element or a reset electromagnet. In the case that the reset element 63 is an elastic element, when the electromagnet 61 is powered, the electromagnet 61 applies an attractive force or a repulsive force to the cooperating block 62 to make the cooperating block 62 move towards the direction of deforming the elastic element, and when the electromagnet 61 is powered off, the elastic element rebounds to make the cooperating block 62 move towards the reset direction of the elastic element. In the case that the reset element 63 is a reset electromagnet, when the electromagnet 61 is powered off, the reset electromagnet is powered to apply an attractive force or a repulsive force to the cooperating block 62 to reset the cooperating block 62.

[0066] In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 3, FIG. 4, FIG. 5, FIG. 6, FIG. 7, FIG. 8, FIG. 9, FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, the rotating wheel 3 is a first ratchet wheel 3a, a stop pawl 4 is matched with the first ratchet wheel 3a, used to prevent the first ratchet wheel 3a from rotating in a second direction opposite to the first direction, and does not interfere with the rotation of the first ratchet wheel 3a towards the first direction. The matching block 62 is linked with the first ratchet wheel 3a through the linkage structure 5.

[0067] In the embodiment, one of the first direction and the second direction is clockwise direction, and the other is counterclockwise direction. The ratchet teeth of the first ratchet wheel 3a are inclined towards the second direction from the root to the head, the stop pawl 4 is arranged on the carrier 9, has a certain elasticity, and abuts against the inner side of the ratchet teeth of the first ratchet wheel 3a. In the process of the rotation of the first ratchet wheel 3a towards the first direction, the stop pawl 4 can pass the outer side of the ratchet teeth of the first ratchet wheel 3a and enter the ratchet tooth slot, and abut against the inner side of the ratchet teeth, so that the stop pawl 4 does not interfere with the rotation of the first ratchet wheel 3a towards the first direction. When the first ratchet wheel 3a rotates towards the second direction, because the stop pawl 4 abuts against the ratchet tooth slot, the stop pawl 4 can prevent the first ratchet wheel 3a from rotating towards the second direction.

[0068] In the embodiment, the stop pawl 4 can have various structures, as shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 5, FIG. 6, FIG. 7, FIG. 8, FIG. 9, FIG. 10 and FIG. 11. The stop pawl 4 includes a spring piece and a stop paw, one end of the spring piece is fixed on the carrier 9, one end of the stop paw is hinged on the carrier 9 through a hinge shaft, and the other end abuts against the other end of the spring piece. Of course, the stop paw can also be directly fixed on the other end of the spring piece through bonding or welding, and the spring piece and the stop paw can be integrally formed.

[0069] In the embodiment, the linkage structure 5 can have various structures, as long as it can convert the movement of the electromagnet 61 or the reset element 63 to the movement of the matching block 62 into the rotation of the first ratchet wheel 3a towards the first direction. Two structures of the linkage structure 5 are listed.

[0070] The first structure is shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 4, FIG. 5, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7. The linkage structure 5 includes:

[0071] A second ratchet wheel 51a is coaxial with the first ratchet wheel 3a and can rotate relative to the first ratchet wheel 3a. The inclination direction of the ratchet teeth of the second ratchet wheel 51a is opposite to the inclination direction of the ratchet teeth of the first ratchet wheel 3a;

[0072] A matching pawl 52a is installed on the first ratchet wheel 3a, matched with the second ratchet wheel 51a, and does not interfere with the rotation of the second ratchet wheel 51a towards the second direction independently of the first ratchet wheel 3a. In the process of the rotation of the second ratchet wheel 51a towards the first direction, the second ratchet wheel 51a pushes the first ratchet wheel 3a to rotate towards the first direction through the matching pawl 52a;

[0073] The rotating rod 53a is coaxial with the second ratchet 51a and fixedly connected with the second ratchet 51a. The connecting rod 54a connects the rotating rod 53a with the matching block 62. The carrier 9 is further provided with a rotating rod slot 94, and at least a part of the rotating rod 53a is constrained in the rotating rod slot 94.

[0074] Generally, the number of the ratchets of the first ratchet 3a and the second ratchet 51a is consistent. The number of the ratchets of the first ratchet 3a and the second ratchet 51a is large, and the number of the ratchets shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 3, FIG. 4, FIG. 5, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 is small, which is only for the purpose of showing the structure and does not represent the actual number of the ratchets.

[0075] In this structure, the first ratchet 3a and the second ratchet 51a can be rotatably matched through the rotating bearing, or a simplified structure can be used to realize the rotating matching, that is, a pin shaft is inserted into the center holes of the first ratchet 3a and the second ratchet 51a at the same time. In order to realize the compact structure, a slot for accommodating the second ratchet 51a can be arranged on the end surface of the first ratchet 3a, the first ratchet 3a serves as the outer ratchet, and the second ratchet 51a serves as the inner ratchet.

[0076] In this structure, the ratchets of the second ratchet 51a are inclined towards the first direction from the root to the head, and the direction of the ratchets of the first ratchet 3a is just opposite to that of the ratchets of the second ratchet 51a. The matching pawl 52a and the stop pawl 4 can adopt the same structure, except that the stop pawl is installed on the carrier 9 and the matching pawl 52a is installed on the first ratchet 3a, which will not be described in detail. In the process of rotating the second ratchet 51a towards the first direction, the second ratchet 51a pushes the first ratchet 3a to rotate towards the first direction through the matching pawl 52a; in the process of rotating the second ratchet 51a towards the second direction, the matching pawl 52a can pass the outer side of the ratchets of the second ratchet 51a into the ratchet slot, and the matching pawl 52a will not push the first ratchet 3a to rotate in this process, and the first ratchet 3a remains in the original position. That is, the second ratchet 51a can push the first ratchet 3a to rotate towards the first direction synchronously, or can rotate towards the second direction independently.

[0077] It should be noted that in the structure shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the reset element 63 is an elastic element, and in the structure shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the reset element 63 is a reset electromagnet. The structures in FIG. 4 and FIG. 6 are similar in action state in one cycle.

[0078] As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, in the case that the reset element 63 is an elastic element, one end of the elastic element is connected with the fixed block 64, and the other end is connected with the matching block 62.

[0079] Based on the structure of Fig. 4, the electromagnet 61 is intermittently powered, i.e. powered-off-powered-off…, in a cycle, and the specific process is shown in Fig. 5:

[0080] In the first stage, the electromagnet 61 is powered, the electromagnet 61 applies repulsive force to the cooperating block 62, the cooperating block 62 moves towards the fixed block 64, compresses the elastic element, and at the same time drives the rotating rod 53a to rotate towards the first direction through the connecting rod 54a, the rotating rod 53a drives the second ratchet wheel 51a, and the second ratchet wheel 51a drives the first ratchet wheel 3a to rotate towards the first direction through the cooperating pawl 52a, and the liquid pushing mechanism moves a certain distance along the liquid pushing direction;

[0081] In the second stage, the electromagnet 61 is powered off, the repulsive force applied by the electromagnet 61 to the cooperating block 62 disappears, and the cooperating block 62 is reset under the rebound of the elastic element, and in the process of resetting, the rotating rod 53a is driven to rotate towards the second direction through the connecting rod 54a, and the rotating rod 53a drives the second ratchet wheel 51a to rotate towards the second direction.

[0082] That is, in each powered cycle, the resolution of the single liquid pushing amount can be the linear displacement amount of the liquid pushing mechanism 2 converted by the rotation of one ratchet tooth of the first ratchet wheel 3a, and the resolution can be very high.

[0083] In addition, as shown in Figs. 1, 2, 4 and 5, the rotating rod 53a is coaxial with the rotation center line of the second ratchet wheel 51a, and the diameter of the rotating rod 53a is much smaller than the diameter of the second ratchet wheel 51a, the cooperating block 62 is connected to the rotating rod 53a through the connecting rod 54a, and in the case of ensuring that the cooperating block 62 has a relatively large rotating radius, the cooperating block 62 can not exceed the outer periphery of the second ratchet wheel 51a, further ensuring the light and thin structure and miniaturization.

[0084] The second kind, as shown in Figs. 8, 9, 10 and 11, the linkage structure 5 includes a hook portion 51b connected to the cooperating block 62 and having elasticity, and when the electromagnet 61 applies attractive force or repulsive force to the cooperating block 62, the hook portion 51b pushes the inner side of the ratchet tooth of the first ratchet wheel 3a to make the first ratchet wheel 3a rotate towards the first direction. In the process of the hook portion 51b pushing the inner side of the ratchet tooth of the first ratchet wheel 3a, the inner side of the hook portion 51b is opposite to the inner side of the ratchet tooth of the first ratchet wheel 3a, and the included angle between the inner side of the hook portion 51b and the cooperating block 62 is an acute angle. In order to make the cooperating block 62 reliably push the inner side of the ratchet tooth of the first ratchet wheel 3a, a sliding groove is provided on the carrier, and the cooperating block 62 is slidably fitted in the sliding groove, and the sliding groove constrains the movement track of the cooperating block 62.

[0085] It should be noted that in the structure shown in FIG. 8, FIG. 9, the reset element 63 is an elastic element, and in the structure shown in FIG. 10, FIG. 11, the reset element 63 is a reset electromagnet. The structures in FIG. 8 and FIG. 10 are similar in action within a cycle. In addition, in order to limit the movement trajectory of the fitting block 62, the fitting block is slidably fitted in a groove of the carrier 9 or a rod fixed to the carrier 9.

[0086] Based on the structure in FIG. 8, the electromagnet is intermittently powered, i.e. power on-power off-power on-power off…, within a cycle, as shown in FIG. 9, the specific process is as follows:

[0087] In the first stage, the electromagnet 61 is powered on, the fitting block 62 moves towards the electromagnet 61 under the attraction of the electromagnet 61, and the fitting block 62 is stretched in the process of moving, at the same time, the first ratchet 3a is rotated towards the first direction by the hook 51b, and the liquid pushing mechanism moves a certain distance in the liquid pushing direction;

[0088] In the second stage, the electromagnet 61 is powered off, the attraction of the electromagnet 61 to the fitting block 62 disappears, and the fitting block 62 is reset under the resilience of the elastic element, the fitting block 62 drives the hook 51b to deform elastically and then slides through the outside of the ratchet teeth of the first ratchet 3a to reset, and the first ratchet 3a remains stationary. The resolution of the single liquid pushing amount can be the linear displacement of the liquid pushing mechanism 2 converted by the rotation of one ratchet tooth of the first ratchet 3a, and the resolution can be very high.

[0089] In addition, as shown in FIG. 8, FIG. 9, the fixed block 64 and the electromagnet 61 can be fixed on the carrier 9, and the fixed block 64 and the electromagnet 61 are arranged side by side in the up-down direction, both of which do not exceed the first ratchet 3a in the up-down direction, which can further ensure the lightness and thinness of the entire device and even the entire application product. FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 are the same, the electromagnet 61 and the reset electromagnet are arranged side by side in the up-down direction, both of which do not exceed the first ratchet 3a in the up-down direction.

[0090] Embodiment Two

[0091] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment one is that, as shown in FIG. 12, FIG. 13, FIG. 14 and FIG. 15, the rotating wheel 3 is a light wheel structure 3b, the electromagnet 61 and the elastic element each have two, the two electromagnets 61 are respectively a first electromagnet 611 and a second electromagnet 612, and the two elastic elements are respectively a first elastic element 631 and a second elastic element 632; wherein,

[0092] The first elastic element 631 is connected between the first electromagnet 611 and the engaging block 62. When the first electromagnet 611 is energized, the engaging block 62 is pressed to compress the first elastic element 631 to separate from the rotating wheel 3 or is pulled to stretch the first elastic element 631 and contact the rotating wheel 3. When the first electromagnet 611 is de-energized, the engaging block 62 is reset under the action of the first elastic element 631.

[0093] The second elastic element 632 is connected to the first electromagnet 611. When both the first electromagnet 611 and the second electromagnet 612 are energized, the second electromagnet 612 applies an attractive force or a repulsive force to the first electromagnet 611 to move the first electromagnet 611 in a direction parallel to the tangent direction of the rotating wheel 3 and deform the second elastic element 632. When at least one of the first electromagnet 611 and the second electromagnet 612 is de-energized, the second electromagnet 612 is reset under the action of the second elastic element 632.

[0094] Generally, when the second elastic element 632 is fixed to the second electromagnet 612, a limiting block 65 can be arranged on the side of the first electromagnet 611 away from the second electromagnet 612 to limit the movement stroke of the first electromagnet 611, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13. When the second elastic element 632 is fixed to a fixed block 64, the second electromagnet 612 is located on the side of the first electromagnet 611 away from the fixed block 64, as shown in FIGS. 14 and 15.

[0095] In addition, in the present embodiment, a limiting groove is arranged on the carrier 9 to limit the movement trajectory of the first electromagnet 611 to ensure smooth movement of the first electromagnet 611 in a direction parallel to the tangent direction of the rotating wheel 3. In order to enable the engaging block 62 to move synchronously with the first electromagnet 611 in a direction parallel to the tangent direction of the rotating wheel 3, the first elastic element 631 has a limiting pin at the center, which is fixed to one of the first electromagnet 611 and the engaging block 62 and is in sliding fit with the limiting hole on the other.

[0096] The electromagnetic actuating mechanism with two electromagnets 61 and two elastic elements can have multiple initial states and working processes, two of which are listed below.

[0097] The first kind is shown in FIG. 12. When neither the first electromagnet 611 nor the second electromagnet 612 is energized (initial state), the engaging block 62 contacts the rotating wheel 3. The specific working process is shown in FIG. 13, and the specific process is as follows:

[0098] In the first stage, the first electromagnet 611 is energized to apply an attractive force to the engaging block 62, the engaging block 62 is compressed to compress the first elastic element 631, and the engaging block 62 is away from the rotating wheel 3;

[0099] Second stage, the second electromagnet 612 is powered, the second electromagnet 612 applies an attractive force to the first electromagnet 611, the first electromagnet 611 moves in a direction parallel to the tangent direction of the rotating wheel 3 towards the second electromagnet 612 and compresses the second elastic element 632;

[0100] Third stage, the first electromagnet 611 and the second electromagnet 612 are both powered off, the first electromagnet 611 resets the cooperating block 62 under the resilience of the second elastic element 632, in the first half of the process of resetting the second elastic element 632, the cooperating block 62 moves towards the rotating wheel 3 under the resilience of the first elastic element 631 and contacts the rotating wheel 3, in the second half of the process of resetting the second elastic element 632, the cooperating block 62 rotates the rotating wheel 3 by a very small angle in the first direction.

[0101] Second, as shown in FIG. 14, the first electromagnet 611 and the second electromagnet 612 are both not powered (initial state), the cooperating block 62 does not contact the rotating wheel 3. The specific work is shown in FIG. 15, the specific process is as follows:

[0102] First stage, the first electromagnet 611 is powered, applies a repulsive force to the cooperating block 62, the cooperating block 62 stretches the first elastic element 631 and contacts the rotating wheel 3;

[0103] Second stage, the second electromagnet 612 is powered, the second electromagnet 612 applies an attractive force to the first electromagnet 611, the first electromagnet 611 moves the rotating wheel 3 in a direction parallel to the tangent direction of the rotating wheel 3 towards the second electromagnet 612 and stretches the second elastic element 632, in this stage, the cooperating block 62 rotates the rotating wheel 3 by a very small angle in the first direction.

[0104] Third stage, the first electromagnet 611 and the second electromagnet 612 are both powered off, the cooperating block 62 moves away from the rotating wheel 3 under the resilience of the first elastic element 631, at the same time, the first electromagnet 611 resets under the resilience of the second elastic element 632.

[0120] The sufficient lightness, thinness and miniaturization are embodied in that, in the traditional structure, the ordinary motor is used as the power mechanism of fluid conveying, and a set of speed reduction gear system is needed to reduce the speed, resulting in a relatively large size and high energy consumption, and a large-capacity power supply needs to be equipped for driving, such as a large battery or multiple batteries, resulting in that the lightness, thinness and miniaturization cannot be realized; and in the application, the electromagnetic drive is used as the power source, the structure of the whole power mechanism is relatively simple, the whole application can be made sufficiently light and thin, and sufficiently miniaturized, and the electromagnetic actuator mechanism has low energy consumption, and a small-capacity power supply, such as a small-capacity small-size battery, can meet the use requirements, so that the application can be further made sufficiently light and thin and sufficiently miniaturized, and the patient's use comfort is improved.
