Fig. 4 is that disposable aspiration needle portion and limited number of time are reused the cross sectional view of assembly according to an embodiment of the invention.Fig. 4 shows needle section 205 and reuses the mode that assembly 250 engages with limited number of time.In the embodiment of Fig. 4, needle section 205 comprises plunger interface 420, piston 415, distributor chamber housing 425, needle section housing 215, temperature control equipment 450, heat sensor 460, pin 210, distributor chamber 405, composition surface 530 and tip interface connector 520.Limited number of time is reused assembly 250 and is comprised mechanical links 545, actuator rod 510, actuator 515, power supply 505, controller 305, limited number of time repeated use assembly housing 255, composition surface 535 and limited number of time repeated use assembly composition surface connector 525.
In needle section 205, plunger interface 420 is positioned at an end of piston 415.The other end of piston 415 forms an end of distributor chamber 405.Piston 415 is suitable for sliding in distributor chamber 405.Make the inner surface fluid-tight of the outer surface and the distributor chamber housing 425 of piston 415.Distributor chamber housing 425 surrounds distributor chamber 405.Typically, distributor chamber housing 425 has drum.For example, distributor chamber 405 also has drum.
Pin 210 and distributor chamber 405 fluid coupled.In this case, the material that is accommodated in the distributor chamber 405 can and enter into eyes by pin 210.Temperature control equipment 450 to small part is surrounded distributor chamber housing 425.In this case, temperature control equipment 450 is suitable for heating and/or chilled distribution chamber housing 425 and any material that is accommodated in the distributor chamber 405.The configuration that hereinafter will describe temperature control equipment 450 in more detail and distribute heat sensor 460.Composition surface 530 utilizes tip interface connector 520 that temperature control equipment 450 is connected with heat sensor 460.
The parts of needle section 205 (comprising distributor chamber housing 425, temperature control equipment 450 and piston 415) to small part is sealed by needle section housing 215.In an embodiment consistent, the piston 415 and the inner surface of distributor chamber housing 425 are sealed with principle of the present invention.This sealing stops the pollution that is accommodated in any material in the distributor chamber 405.When being used for medical purpose, this sealing needs.Sealing can be positioned at any point place on piston 415 or the distributor chamber housing 425.
Reuse in the assembly 250 at limited number of time, power supply 505 provides electric power for actuator 515.Composition surface (not shown) between power supply 505 and actuator 515 is used to actuator 515 that the pipeline of electric power is provided.Actuator 515 is connected with actuator rod 510.When actuator 515 was stepper motor, actuator rod 510 was integrally formed with actuator 515.Mechanical linkage 545 is connected with actuator rod 510.In this structure, when actuator 515 makes actuator rod 510 when pin 210 moves up, mechanical linkage 545 also moves up towards pin 210.
Controller 305 is reused assembly composition surface connector 525 via composition surface 535 and limited number of time and is connected.Limited number of time is reused assembly composition surface connector 525 and is positioned at limited number of time and reuses on the top surface of contiguous mechanical linkage 545 of assembly housing 255.Adopt this mode, limited number of time is reused assembly composition surface connector 525 and is suitable for being connected with plunger interface 420 with tip interface connector 520 respectively with mechanical linkage 545.
Controller 305 and actuator 515 are connected by the composition surface (not shown).This composition surface (not shown) allows the operation of controller 305 control actuators 515.In addition, the composition surface (not shown) between power supply 505 and controller 305 allows the operation of controller 305 control power supplys.In this case, when power supply 505 was rechargeable battery, controller 305 can be controlled the charging and the discharge of power supply 505.
Controller 305 is typically the electric power that has energy actuating logic function, the integrated circuit of input and output pin.In each embodiment, controller 305 is destination apparatus controllers.In this case, controller 305 is carried out the specific control function of target directing specific device or parts (for example temperature control equipment or power supply).For example, the temperature control equipment controller has the basic function of control temperature control equipment.In other embodiments, controller 305 is microprocessors.In this case, controller 305 is programmable, makes it can be used for of control device with upper-part.In other cases, controller 305 is not programmable microprocessor, but is configured to control the specific purpose controller of the different parts of carrying out difference in functionality.Although controller 305 is described to parts, controller 305 can be made of a plurality of different parts or integrated circuit.
As previously mentioned, needle section 205 is suitable for reusing with limited number of time that assembly 250 cooperates or is attached.In the embodiment of Fig. 5, be positioned at plunger interface 420 on the basal surface of piston 415 and be suitable for and be positioned near the mechanical linkage 545 that limited number of time reuses the top surface of assembly housing 255 and cooperate.In addition, tip interface connector 520 is suitable for being connected with limited number of time repeated use assembly composition surface connector 525.When needle section 205 by this way when limited number of time is reused assembly 250 and is connected, actuator 515 and actuator rod 510 are suitable for towards pin 210 driven plunger 415 that makes progress.In addition, between controller 305 and temperature control equipment 450, form a composition surface.Signal can be reused assembly composition surface connector 525, tip interface connector 520 and composition surface 530 slave controllers 305 by composition surface 535, limited number of time and be sent to temperature control equipment 450.
In operation, when needle section 205 and limited number of time were reused assembly 250 and be connected, controller 305 was controlled the operation of actuators 515.Actuator 515 activated and makes actuator rod 510 to move up towards pin 210.Then, the mechanical linkage 545 that cooperates with plunger interface 420 makes piston 415 move up towards pin 210.Then, the material that is arranged in distributor chamber 405 is discharged by pin 210.
In addition, the operation of controller 305 control temperature control equipments 450.Temperature control equipment 450 is suitable for heating and/or chilled distribution chamber housing 425.Because distributor chamber housing 425 to small part is a heat conductivity, heating or chilled distribution chamber housing 425 make heating or cooling be arranged in the material of distributor chamber 405.Temperature information can be transferred to controller 305 from heat sensor 460 via any in a plurality of different interface configurations.Can adopt this temperature information to control the operation of temperature control equipment 450.When temperature control equipment 450 was heater, controller 305 controls were sent to the magnitude of current of temperature control equipment 450.The magnitude of current that is sent to temperature control equipment 450 is big more, and it is hot more that temperature control equipment becomes.Adopt this mode, controller 305 can adopt the operation that is used to control from the feedback circuit of the information of heat sensor 460 temperature control equipment 450.Can adopt the control algolithm (for example PID (PID) algorithm) of any adequate types to control the operation of temperature control equipment 450.
