Solution Overview

Problem

Existing medical liquid injection devices face challenges in ensuring precise and stable injection of medical liquids, particularly for pediatric diabetic patients, due to issues with comfort, convenience, durability, and the need for low power operation.

Innovation Solution

A medical liquid discharge assembly and injection device that includes a driving part, a rotating part, a tube part made of flexible material, a pressure-applying part, and a locking part. The locking part fixes the position of the pressure-applying part, maintaining the tube part in a compressed state, thereby improving injection stability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a locking part is added to fix the position of the pressure-applying part, then injection stability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinjection stabilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The locking part is designed to move between locked and unlocked positions, transitioning from a static to a dynamic structure. This allows the device to maintain simplicity when not in use while providing stability during injection through the movable locking mechanism that engages with the pressure-applying part.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The locking part utilizes the existing rotational movement of the pressure-applying part to automatically engage or disengage the locking mechanism. The structure leverages the natural operational cycles of the device, where rotation in one direction triggers locking while rotation in the opposite direction releases it, eliminating the need for separate control systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Manufacturing precision

If the tube part is kept in a compressed state to prevent reflux, then injection precision is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinjection precisionVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The tube part is pre-compressed to a specific degree before injection begins, establishing the correct initial state for precise delivery. This preliminary compression ensures that the tube maintains adequate pressure to prevent reflux while allowing controlled dispensing, with the locking mechanism preserving this pre-set compression state throughout the injection process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system controls the compression parameter of the tube part by fixing its position through the locking mechanism. By maintaining a specific compression level rather than allowing variable compression, the device achieves precise and consistent injection without requiring complex active control systems to adjust compression dynamically.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
