Solution Overview

Problem

The existing needleless syringes require cumbersome medicine suctioning operations, involving separation of the medicine barrel from the vial, leading to issues like vial loss and contamination, and incur high costs due to the combination of the medicine barrel and vial not meeting safety requirements for long-term drug contact.

Innovation Solution

A needleless syringe design that integrates a vial within the syringe body, allowing efficient medicine suctioning and injection without separating the vial, featuring a piston rod with a medicine liquid channel and check valve for seamless operation, and a locking mechanism for secure attachment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the medicine barrel and vial are combined as one for single use, then the medicine suctioning operation becomes simpler, but the cost increases and safety requirements for long-term drug contact cannot be met

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemedicine suctioning operationVSAvoidsafety requirements for long-term drug contact
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The device is divided into separate functional components: a reusable syringe body made of medical-grade plastic that meets long-term drug contact safety requirements, and a disposable vial containing the medicine. This segmentation allows the syringe body to be designed for durability and safety while the vial can be optimized for single-use convenience, resolving the contradiction between operational simplicity and safety compliance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If the vial is separated from the syringe body after medicine suctioning, then the injection operation can be performed, but vial loss and contamination occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinjection operationVSAvoidvial loss and contamination
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The vial is nested within the syringe body during the suctioning phase, and the needleless injection mechanism is integrated into the syringe body. This nested design allows the vial to remain protected within the syringe housing throughout the entire process, eliminating vial loss and contamination risks while enabling seamless transition from suctioning to injection without separation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

3Object-affected harmful factors

If a needleless syringe design with integrated vial is used, then vial loss and contamination are prevented, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevial loss and contaminationVSAvoiddevice structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The injection mechanism is merged with the syringe body to form an integrated needleless injection device. The piston rod, medicine liquid channel, and injection micropore are combined into a single cohesive structure that works with the nested vial. This merging reduces the number of separate components and assembly steps, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining the benefits of preventing vial loss and contamination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

The present disclosure relates to an injection head of a needleless syringe, needleless syringe body, and needleless syringe. The injection head includes a medicine barrel and a piston rod. The medicine barrel opens at a rear end and has an injection micropore at a front end. A piston of a piston rod is movable within a chamber in an front-rear direction, the piston and a sidewall and a front wall of the medicine barrel jointly define a medicine liquid receiving chamber. The piston rod is provided therein with a medicine liquid channel. The injection head and the vial can be mounted together on the needleless syringe body, the medicine liquid can flow via the medicine liquid channel into the medicine liquid chamber, and the piston rod can eject medicine liquid within the medicine liquid receiving chamber outside via the injection micropore. According to the solution of the present disclosure, a vial, such as a cartridge vial and the like, can be received within a needleless syringe body, and medicine suctioning and injection can be completed efficiently and effortlessly during each use, where there is no need for removing the vial or separating the medicine barrel from the vial.
