Arcuate Syringe Clamp Mount for Axial Displacement Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing clamp mounts for medical dosing devices do not effectively restrict the axial movement of drug delivery devices, such as syringes, which can lead to undesired displacement and jamming during use, especially under time pressure, and lack versatility to accommodate different sizes and types of devices.
Innovation Solution
A clamp mount with a recess designed as a groove that limits axial movement and features a curved or arcuate shape, allowing for secure clamping and easy release, utilizing a clamping device with a spring or elastic material for secure holding and gentle release, accommodating various syringe sizes and types.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a clamp mount is designed to securely hold a syringe, then the syringe is firmly clamped and stable, but the syringe cannot be easily removed or dismantled
Solution Approach 1:
The clamping device incorporates a spring mechanism that provides dynamic clamping force. The spring allows the clamping device to automatically adjust to the syringe plunger, maintaining secure holding while enabling easy release when needed, thus resolving the contradiction between firm clamping and easy removal.
2Ease of manufacture
If the clamping device uses a straight-edged design, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but it cannot effectively restrict axial movement of the syringe plunger
Solution Approach 1:
The clamping device features an arcuate recess with curved surfaces instead of straight edges. This curved geometry effectively restricts axial movement of the syringe plunger by providing proper contact surfaces, while still maintaining manufacturability through standard machining operations, thus resolving the contradiction between structural simplicity and functional effectiveness.
3Manufacturing precision
If the clamp mount is designed for a specific syringe size, then it provides precise fit and control, but it cannot accommodate different sizes and types of syringes
Solution Approach 1:
The clamp mount is designed with a universal clamping mechanism that can accommodate syringes of different sizes and types. The arcuate recess and spring-loaded clamping device provide adaptive fitting that maintains precise control regardless of syringe dimensions, thus resolving the contradiction between precise fit and versatility.
4Reliability
If the clamping device applies strong clamping force, then the syringe is securely held and cannot displace, but it may cause damage during removal or dismantling
Solution Approach 1:
The spring mechanism in the clamping device provides cushioning during both clamping and removal operations. During normal operation, the spring maintains secure holding force; during removal, the spring allows for gradual force reduction, preventing damage to the syringe or plunger, thus resolving the contradiction between secure holding and damage prevention.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The clamp mount effectively restricts unwanted axial displacement of drug delivery devices, prevents jamming, and allows for easy and robust dismantling without damage, ensuring secure attachment and detachment, and compatibility with different syringe sizes from various manufacturers.
Implementation Method 1
The clamping device has at least one spring or is connected to one, which brings about the clamping effect or contributes to it
Implementation Method 2
The clamping device comprises, consists of or is connected to elastic material in order to effect or contribute to the clamping action by means of the elasticity of the material
