Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of injection equipment, in particular to a micro-dose output structure, a micro-dose secretion pump and an insulin pump.

Background

The insulin pump consists of a pump, a small syringe and a transfusion tube connected with the small syringe. The small syringe can contain 3 ml of insulin at most, after the syringe is arranged in the pump, the guide needle at the front end of the connected infusion tube is inserted into the subcutaneous (generally, the abdominal wall) of a patient by using the needle injector, and then the screw motor of the battery-driven insulin pump pushes the piston of the small syringe to infuse the insulin into the body. The insulin pump is basically used for simulating the secretion of human pancreas for infusion, continuously injecting insulin to the subcutaneous part of a user according to the required dosage of the human body, and keeping the blood sugar stable all day long so as to achieve the purpose of controlling diabetes.

Patent document CN110721364A discloses a pump for administering insulin at a fixed amount and a fixed time, which can be fixed to the body of a patient and can automatically inject insulin at a fixed amount and a fixed time.

Detailed Description

The present invention will be described in detail with reference to specific examples. The following examples will assist those skilled in the art in further understanding the invention, but are not intended to limit the invention in any way. It should be noted that it would be obvious to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. All falling within the scope of the present invention.

As shown in fig. 1, the present invention provides a micro-dose delivery structure, comprising: a micro-dose secretion module 100 and a micro-dose control module 200. The micro-dose secretion assembly 100 drives the screw structure screwed in the nut structure to axially advance by rotating the nut structure, so as to push out the medium to be output. On this basis, because the micro-dose secretion assembly 100 needs to work continuously and slowly in application scenes such as insulin pumps, the problem that the medium is injected too fast due to the fact that the screw structure rotates fast cannot occur, the rotation angle of the nut structure is dynamically limited by the connection of the micro-dose control assembly 200 and the nut structure.

As shown in connection with fig. 2, the microdose secretion module 100 comprises: power element 101, drive shaft 102, worm gear 103, worm 104, gear 105, nut stud 109, screw piston 110, sealing element 111, locking structure and cylinder 112. The power element 101 is connected to the drive shaft 102 to drive the drive shaft 102 to rotate axially. The worm gear 103 is circumferentially arranged on the outer surface of the driving shaft 102 and meshed with the worm 104, the worm 104 is provided with a gear 105, and the gear 105 is meshed with the micro-dosage control assembly 200. The movable ring 108 is slidably sleeved outside the driving shaft 102, and the elastic element 107 is connected between the movable ring 108 and the turbine 103. The driving shaft 102 is a hollow structure, the nut post 109 is slidably connected in the driving shaft 102, the screw piston 110 includes a rod portion and a piston portion, the rod portion is screwed in the nut post 109, and the piston portion is located in the cylinder 112. The locking structure is provided on the drive shaft 102, and can fix or unlock the drive shaft 102 and the nut post 109 to each other.

The side wall of the piston part is circumferentially provided with a groove, and a sealing element is arranged in the groove and is in contact with the inner wall of the cylinder body 112. Thereby achieving sealing.

In the present embodiment, the locking structure includes: an annular locking pin 106, an elastic element 107 and a movable ring 108. The annular lock pin 106 is sleeved on the movable ring 108, the movable ring 108 is sleeved on the driving shaft 102, the elastic element 107 is connected between the movable ring 108 and the turbine 103, and the driving shaft 102 is provided with a through hole. As shown in fig. 3, in the initial state, the movable ring 108 is retained in the first position by the retaining structure on the driving shaft 102, and the elastic element 107 is in a compressed state. As shown in fig. 5 and 6, during the output process, the movable ring 108 is separated from the limit structure by the rotation of the driving shaft 102, the elastic element 107 pushes the movable ring 108 to advance, and during the advance process, the end of the annular lock pin 106 is inserted into the nut column 109 through the through hole under the action of the self-elastic force. Continued rotation of the drive shaft 102 at this point causes the nut post 109 to rotate synchronously, thereby pushing out the screw piston 110.

In this embodiment, a sliding rod 113 is further designed, the sliding rod 113 is connected to the nut column 109, and during the liquid injection process, the sliding rod 113 moves synchronously with the nut column 109, and a partition plate is arranged on the movement stroke of the sliding rod 113 and is inserted into a power supply circuit of the micro-dose output structure.

As shown in fig. 1, the micro-dose control assembly 200 includes: a motor 201 and a gearbox 202. The output of the motor 201 is drivingly connected to the nut structure of the microdose secreting assembly 100 via the gear box 202. The gearbox 202 employs a high reduction ratio gearbox.

In the present invention, the power element 101 includes a motor or a spiral spring, and the present embodiment will be described by taking the spiral spring as an example in order to reduce energy consumption.

Initial state:

as shown in fig. 3, the elastic element 107 is in a pre-tensioned state, the nut column 109 is screwed to a position close to a piston part of the screw piston 110, the piston part of the screw piston 110 is located at a liquid inlet and outlet of the cylinder 112, and the cylinder 112 is evacuated of gas.

Liquid injection state:

as shown in fig. 4, when liquid is injected into the interior of the cylinder 112 from the liquid inlet/outlet, the injected liquid pushes the screw piston 110 together with the nut stem 109 rearward under the pressure. When the volume of the filled liquid reaches the cylinder volume, the sliding rod 113 on the screw piston 110 removes the partition plate, and the product power supply is connected and started (the structure is not shown in the figure), so that the design aims to use the product without forcing a user to inject a certain amount of liquid, and the product can be disposable, so that the problem that the user cannot fully utilize the product due to the fact that the amount of the injected liquid is too small is avoided. On the other hand, the electric quantity loss caused by long-time standby can be avoided. As shown in FIG. 5, when the volume of the liquid to be filled reaches the maximum value of the cylinder volume, the sliding rod 113 on the screw piston 110 contacts with the reed on the control plate, the product will give an alarm and stop filling the medicine.

Output state (injection):

after the injection is completed, the driving shaft 102 is driven to rotate by the power element 101, however, the worm 104 cannot be driven by the worm wheel 103, and the driving shaft 102 cannot rotate at this time, so that the power of the spring is retained. Then, the motor 201 drives the gear box 202 to rotate, so as to rotate the worm 104, and after the worm 104 is rotated, the worm wheel 103 has a corresponding rotation space, so that the driving shaft 102 can be rotated by a corresponding angle under the power of the power element 101. When the worm 104 turns, the worm gear 103 is unlocked, causing the drive shaft 102 to rotate. When the driving shaft 102 rotates for a certain angle, the movable ring 108 is separated from the limit of the housing and is pushed forward by the elastic element 107, and the annular locking pin 106 on the movable ring 108 is inserted into the nut column 109 during pushing, so that the nut column 109 is limited from moving axially. As shown in FIG. 6, when the drive shaft 102 continues to be rotated after the axial displacement of the nut post 109 is limited, the nut post 109 will rotate in place with the drive shaft 102, causing the screw piston 110 to advance linearly, thereby pushing out the liquid inside the cylinder 112.

The micro-dosage output structure provided by the invention can realize reliable output of micro-dosage and can be suitable for various micro-dosage secretion pumps, such as insulin pumps.
