The design principle and concept of the invention are as follows: in order to solve the problem of low reliability of the locking structure of the original tail pressing type hemostix (see background technical description), the invention adopts the technical concept that: the matching and motion relation between the tail cover and the shell in the hemostix structure is utilized, and the original limit locking structure (non-locking structure) designed between the tail cover and the elastic arm is changed into the locking structure between the tail cover and the containing cavity, so that the reliability of locking after the hemostix is launched is improved. The original limit locking structure (non-locking structure) can be kept and the pin can be taken out, and the pin can be confirmed by a designer according to specific conditions. However, in the present invention, the receiving cavity is a structure that the tail of the housing has a cavity and is integrally formed with the housing as a plastic piece, so that the technical personnel have difficulties in that: how to design a locking structure between the tail cover and the containing cavity, which not only meets the locking requirement of high reliability, but also can be formed in one step through a mould. Therefore, the outer hook is designed on the side part of the tail cover, structures such as a narrow groove, a wide groove, a transition inclined surface and a radial protrusion are designed on the inner wall of the accommodating cavity of the shell aiming at the outer hook, so that a rear end surface for rear end limiting, a transition inclined surface or an arc surface for climbing and a locking end surface for front end locking are formed on the forward moving path of the outer hook relative to the accommodating cavity, the outer hook is hooked on the rear end surface in a to-be-launched state, the tail cover is located at a rear end limiting position relative to the accommodating cavity, when the tail cover is pushed forwards, the outer hook climbs along the transition inclined surface or the arc surface until the outer hook crosses the radial protrusion, and in a launched state, the outer hook is hooked on the locking end surface of the radial protrusion, and the tail cover is located at a front end locking position relative to the accommodating cavity of the shell.
Due to the application of the technical scheme, compared with the prior art, the invention has the following advantages and effects:
1. the invention changes the original limit locking structure (non-locking structure) designed between the tail cap and the elastic arm into the locking structure between the tail cap and the containing cavity, thereby improving the reliability of locking after the hemostix is launched. Overcome prior art's not enough, after the hemostix was used, when adopting to turn round the cap and insert inside from the hemostix front end and push away and support the needle body, can not produce the unblock. The tail cover is permanently locked in the accommodating cavity of the shell at the moment, and the safety of disposable use is guaranteed theoretically.
2. After the hemostix is used, the tail cover is obviously retracted relative to the containing cavity at the tail part of the shell, and the different shapes of the hemostix before and after use can be visually identified from the appearance. The effect is not only beneficial to the safe use of the hemostix, but also obtains better user experience effect.
3. In the invention, three important structures of the rear end face, the transition inclined face and the locking end face are combined by adopting structures such as a narrow groove, a wide groove, a radial protrusion and the like in order to facilitate the injection molding process, and the demolding difficulty of the injection molding process for forming the rear end face, the transition inclined face and the locking end face can be effectively solved by adopting special designs such as opening the rear end of the narrow groove and communicating with the outside of the shell, opening the front end of the wide groove and communicating with the outside of the shell. Therefore, the tail pressing type blood collector locking structure is reasonable in structural design and ingenious in technical conception, well solves the problem of low reliability of the tail pressing type blood collector locking structure, and has prominent substantive characteristics and remarkable progress compared with the prior art.

The shell 1 forms an ejection cavity, the front end of the ejection cavity is provided with a pin outlet hole 9 (see fig. 3 and 4), and a notch (see fig. 4 and not labeled) is formed in the pin outlet hole 9. The stylet 2 is positioned in the ejection cavity, two elastic arms 5 (see fig. 3, 4, 9, 11 and 15) extend inwards from the shell 1, hooks 6 (see fig. 15 and 16) for locking the stylet 2 are arranged on the elastic arms 5, and a clamping surface 8 (see fig. 5, 6, 15 and 16) corresponding to the hooks 6 is arranged on the stylet 2. In the state of waiting to be shot, the front end of the spring 3 is pressed against the stylet 2, and the clamping surface 8 of the stylet 2 is pressed against the clamping hook 6 of the elastic arm 5, so that the stylet 2 is positioned and locked in the shooting cavity of the shell 1 (see fig. 16).
The stylet 2 and the twist cap 11 are integrally formed (see fig. 5 and 6), and thus the twist cap type push-type disposable blood collector with a tail is formed. The twist cap 11 is positioned at the front part of the stylet 2 and is connected with the stylet 2 into an integral injection molding structure, the twist cap 11 is formed by fixedly connecting a twist part 15 and a protection rod 16, and a twist-off shrinkage neck 7 is arranged between the protection rod 16 and the stylet 2 (see fig. 5 and 6).
The tail cover 4 (see fig. 7 and 8) is mounted at the tail of the shell 1 (see fig. 13, 14 and 15), the tail cover 4 is provided with an active unlocking part 12 (see fig. 7, 8 and 15), the active unlocking part 12 is provided with an action end, a passive unlocking part 13 (see fig. 15) is arranged on the elastic arm 5 corresponding to the active unlocking part 12, the passive unlocking part 13 is provided with an action end, the action end of the active unlocking part 12 is a corner of a bump (see fig. 7, 8 and 15), and the action end of the passive unlocking part 13 is an unlocking inclined surface 10 (see fig. 15).
In order to solve the problem of low reliability of the locking structure of the original tail pressing type hemostix, the invention designs the following locking structure between the tail cover 4 and the accommodating cavity 20 at the tail part of the shell 1:
a containing cavity 20 is arranged at the tail part of the shell 1 (see fig. 9, 11 and 13), the tail cover 4 is arranged in the containing cavity 20 (see fig. 13), two elastic sheets 21 are arranged at the side part of the tail cover 4, and the tail end of each elastic sheet 21 is provided with an outer hook 24 which is turned over towards the outer side (see fig. 7, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 15). The hook angle is designed to be 90 degrees or less in order to ensure reliability of the outer hook 24.
A narrow groove 22 and a wide groove 23 are formed on the inner wall of the receiving chamber 20 corresponding to each outer hook 24 (see fig. 11 and 14). The width of the narrow groove 22 is smaller than the width of the wide groove 23 (see fig. 11 and 14). The narrow groove 22 is disposed at the axial rear portion of the accommodation chamber 20, and the rear end of the narrow groove 22 is open and communicates with the outside of the housing 1 (see fig. 11 and 14). The wide groove 23 is disposed at the axial front portion of the accommodation chamber 20, and the front end of the wide groove 23 is open and communicates with the outside of the housing 1 (see fig. 11, where see the through opening 25 in fig. 11). The front end of the narrow groove 22 communicates with the rear end of the wide groove 23, and the wide groove 23 where the communication is made is formed with a rear end surface 26 (see fig. 11). The width of the outer hook 24 (see Y in fig. 10) is greater than the width of the narrow groove 22 (see X in fig. 9) and is smaller than the width of the wide groove 23 (see Z in fig. 9).
Corresponding to the position of the narrow groove 22, a radial projection 27 (see fig. 11) is provided in the wide groove 23, the front end of the radial projection 27 is provided with a locking end surface 28 (see fig. 11 and 15), and the rear to narrow groove 22 is provided with a transition bevel 29 or an arc surface (see fig. 11 and 17). The width of the radial projection 27 is equal to the width of the narrow groove 22 (see fig. 11).
The tail cap 4 is in sliding fit with the accommodating cavity 20 arranged at the tail of the housing 1 in the axial direction, the outer hook 24 is hooked on a rear end surface 26 of the wide groove 23 (see fig. 16) in a to-be-launched state, so that the tail cap 4 is located at a rear end limiting position relative to the accommodating cavity 20 of the housing 1, the outer hook 24 climbs along a transition inclined surface 29 or an arc surface until the outer hook crosses over the radial protrusion 27 (see fig. 17 and 18) when the tail cap 4 is pushed forwards, and the outer hook 24 is hooked on a locking end surface 28 of the radial protrusion 27 (see fig. 19) in a to-be-launched state, so that the tail cap 4 is located at a front end locking position relative to the accommodating cavity 20 of the housing 1.
In addition to the above locking structure, the blood collector of the embodiment of the present invention is further designed with the following locking structure between the tail cap 4 and the elastic arm 5:
the tail cover 4 is provided with an active locking part 14 (see fig. 7, 8 and 15), the active locking part 14 is provided with an acting end, a passive locking part 17 (see fig. 15) is arranged on the elastic arm 5 corresponding to the active locking part 14, the passive locking part 17 is provided with an acting end, the acting end of the active locking part 14 is provided with a locking hook 18 (see fig. 7, 8 and 15), and the acting end of the passive locking part 17 is provided with a locking surface 19 (see fig. 15).
In the state of waiting to be launched, taking the axial direction of the blood collector as reference, the axial projection distance from the action end (action point) of the active unlocking part 12 to the action end (action point) of the passive unlocking part 13 is smaller than the axial projection distance from the action end (action point) of the active locking part 14 to the action end (action point) of the passive locking part 17. The radial direction of the blood collector is taken as a reference, and the distance from the action end (action point) of the active locking part 14 to the radial center of the blood collector is greater than the distance from the action end (action point) of the passive locking part 17 to the radial center of the blood collector.
The initial assembly state and the using operation process of the embodiment of the invention are as follows:
1. initial assembled state
Referring to fig. 15, the stylet 2 and the twist cap 11 are integrally formed, the protective rod 16 on the stylet 2 and the twist cap 11 are positioned in the housing 1, and the twist part 15 on the twist cap 11 is positioned outside the front end of the housing 1. The boss provided between the torsion part 15 and the protection rod 16 abuts against the inner end surface (not marked but visible in fig. 15) of the pin outlet hole 9 at the front end of the housing 1. The front end of the spring 3 is pressed against the rear part of the stylet 2, the rear end of the spring 3 is pressed against the tail cap 4, and the outer hook 24 of the tail cap 4 is hooked on the rear end surface 26 of the sliding groove of the shell 1, so that the tail cap 4 is at the rear end limit position in the sliding direction relative to the accommodating cavity 20 of the shell 1. In this state, the hook 6 of the elastic arm 5 and the engaging surface 8 of the core 2 are in the unlocked state (separated from each other and not in contact engagement, see fig. 15). At this time, even if the tail cap 4 is pressed, the boss abuts against the inner end face of the needle outlet hole 9 at the front end of the shell 1, so that the blood sampler cannot generate the launching action, namely, under the condition that the twist cap 11 is not taken out, the tail cap 4 is pressed, and the needle core 2 cannot be triggered to launch. The purpose of the boss in the initial assembly state is therefore to prevent misfiring of the device.
2. State of waiting to be transmitted
Referring to fig. 16, before the blood sampling device is used, the twist cap 11 is twisted off, that is, the twist cap 11 is twisted by 90 °, the twist cap 11 and the needle core 2 are forced to be broken at the position of the contraction neck 7 (see fig. 5), the boss is aligned with the notch on the needle hole 9, and then the twist cap 11 is pulled out. At this time, the stylet 2 moves forward by 2mm under the action of the spring 3, the engaging surface 8 on the stylet 2 is blocked by the hook 6 on the elastic arm 5, so that the stylet 2 is locked by the hook 6 on the elastic arm 5, and enters a state to be shot.
3. State of tail cover pressing
Referring to fig. 17, in use, the needle outlet 9 of the blood collector head is aligned with the blood collection site of the human body, the tail cap 4 starts to be pressed (see the arrow in fig. 17), the tail cap 4 moves forward, on one hand, the outer hook 24 climbs onto the radial protrusion 27 along the transition inclined plane 29 (see fig. 17), on the other hand, the action end (corner of the bump) of the active unlocking part 12 on the tail cap 4 contacts with the action end (unlocking inclined plane 10) of the passive unlocking part 13 on the elastic arm 5 (see fig. 17).
The tail cap 4 is continuously pressed, the outer hook 24 on the tail cap 4 passes over the radial protrusion 27, the action end (corner of the bump) of the active unlocking part 12 on the tail cap 4 strikes the action end (unlocking inclined plane 10) of the passive unlocking part 13 on the elastic arm 5, the tail end of the elastic arm 5 is forced to expand laterally under the action of the unlocking inclined plane 10 (see a laterally expanded arrow in fig. 17), and the action end (action point) of the active locking part 14 and the action end (action point) of the passive locking part 17 are gradually close to each other.
4. Transmitting state
Referring to fig. 18, the tail cap 4 is continuously pressed, and after the hook 6 on the elastic arm 5 is separated from the locking critical point, the needle core 2 shoots and punctures under the action of the spring 3, so that blood collection is completed (see fig. 18).
5. Post-launch state
As shown in fig. 19, after the puncture is fired, the outer hook 24 hooks onto the locking end surface 28 of the radial protrusion 27 (see fig. 19) under the action of the spring 3, so that the tail cap 4 is in the front end locking position relative to the receiving cavity 20 of the housing 1. On the other hand, because the tail end of the flexible arm 5 is in a laterally opened state, the action ends of the active locking portions 14 on the tail cover 4 and the action ends of the passive locking portions 17 on the flexible arm 5 are mutually matched with the locking surfaces 19 through the locking hooks 18, so that the tail cover 4 and the flexible arm 5 are forced to be in a locking hook state, and the tail cover 4 cannot rebound (see fig. 19). In the locked state, the tail cap 4 is retracted from the rear of the blood collection set (see fig. 20).
Other embodiments and structural variations of the present invention are described below:
1. in the above embodiment, the tail cover 4 is designed with two elastic pieces 21 and two outer hooks 24 symmetrically arranged with each other, and two sets of narrow grooves 22 and wide grooves 23 are also designed corresponding to the elastic pieces 21 and the outer hooks 24. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and one elastic piece 21 and one outer hook 24 may correspond to one set of narrow grooves 22 and wide grooves 23, or three elastic pieces 21 and three outer hooks 24 may correspond to three sets of narrow grooves 22 and wide grooves 23, which is a variation that can be understood and appreciated by those skilled in the art.
2. In the above embodiment, the active unlocking portion 12 and the active locking portion 14 are two solid portions on the tail cover 4, and the passive unlocking portion 13 and the passive locking portion 17 share one solid portion on the spring arm 5. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be modified in several ways:

(2) The number of the elastic arms 5 arranged on the shell 1 is three, all the elastic arms 5 are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the cross section of the shell 1, and together form an elastic clamp for locking the needle core 2.
(3) The number of the elastic arms 5 arranged on the shell 1 is four, all the elastic arms 5 are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the cross section of the shell 1, and together form an elastic clamp for locking the needle core 2.
(4) The number of the elastic arms 5 arranged on the shell 1 is five, all the elastic arms 5 are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the cross section of the shell 1, and together form an elastic clamp for locking the needle core 2.
The number of resilient arms 5 is even greater, a variant which is easily understood by the person skilled in the art.
4. In the above embodiment, the elastic arm 5 is provided with the hook 6 for locking the stylet 2. The invention can be modified to have the hook 6 as an end face and the same technical effect can be achieved by using the end face to lock the needle core 2, as will be understood and appreciated by those skilled in the art.
5. In the above embodiment, in the state to be launched, with reference to the axial direction of the blood sampling device, the axial projection distance from the action end (action point) of the active unlocking part 12 to the action end (action point) of the passive unlocking part 13 is smaller than the axial projection distance from the action end (action point) of the active locking part 14 to the action end (action point) of the passive locking part 17. In addition, the projection distance from the action end (action point) of the active unlocking part 12 to the action end (action point) of the passive unlocking part 13 in the axial direction can be larger than the projection distance from the action end (action point) of the active locking part 14 to the action end (action point) of the passive locking part 17 in the axial direction. When the axial projection distance from the action end (action point) of the active unlocking part 12 to the action end (action point) of the passive unlocking part 13 is equal to the axial projection distance from the action end (action point) of the active locking part 14 to the action end (action point) of the passive locking part 17, the unlocking of the needle core 2 and the locking of the tail cover 4 are easy to interfere, so that the working of the blood sampler is unstable.
6. In the above embodiment, the acting end of the passive unlocking portion 13 is the unlocking slant 10. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the unlocking slant 10 may be provided at the action end of the active unlocking portion 12, or may be provided at both the action end of the active unlocking portion 12 and the action end of the passive unlocking portion 13.
