A high-precision chip-based micropump wearable precision syringe

The present invention discloses a high-precision chip-type micropump wearable precision syringe, which specifically relates to the technical field of medical devices. The present invention evacuates a hydraulic liquid supply tank to a vacuum to form a negative pressure, and then the needle tip of a liquid-filled injection needle pierces a heparin cap, so that the drug driving liquid is pressed into the hydraulic liquid supply tank and squeezes the piston of the pushing unit to move to one side. The volume of the hydraulic liquid supply tank increases, and the drug driving liquid enters the micropump unit through the micropump liquid inlet hole. Since the micropump unit swings to a fixed value each time, the drug driving liquid is accurately driven and controlled, and the injection volume is accurately controlled. The piston member in the cartridge bottle is pushed forward to quantitatively push the injection liquid, and the liquid drives the liquid, so that the infusion is accurate and reliable; the implanted spring pushes the indwelling needle catheter seat to be clamped into the convex ring cavity. Afterwards, the stainless steel needle is withdrawn, leaving only the soft indwelling needle catheter in the blood vessel. Injection is performed through the indwelling needle catheter without waiting for too long, thereby reducing the discomfort and pain caused to the patient.
