Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are illustrative and intended to be illustrative of the invention and are not to be construed as limiting the invention.

A lancet 1 of an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to fig. 1 to 16. Specifically, the lancet 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a barrel 10, a protective cap 20, and a needle tip cap 30.

The cylinder 10 has opposite front and rear ends in its axial direction (front-rear direction, which is indicated by arrow a in fig. 1), with the front end of the cylinder 10 serving as a firing end. The cylinder body 10 is provided with a needle core 40 and a needle body 110, the axial directions of the needle core 40 and the needle body 110 extend along the front and back directions, the needle point 111 of the needle body 110 is the front end thereof, the needle body 110 is arranged in the needle core 40, and the needle point 111 of the needle body 110 extends out of the front end of the needle core 40. The protective cap 20 is detachably fitted to the front end of the cartridge 10, that is, the protective cap 20 has two states: is sleeved at the front end of the cylinder body 10 and separated from the front end of the cylinder body 10. It will be appreciated that if the protective cap 20 is disengaged from the forward end of the cartridge 10, the protective cap 20 will need to be moved forward.

The rear end of the needle tip cap 30 extends into the barrel 10 from the front end of the barrel 10, the needle tip 111 extending from the needle core 40 is inserted into the rear end of the needle tip cap 30, and the needle tip cap 30 protects the needle tip 111. The tip cap 30 is provided inside the protective cap 20, and the tip cap 30 is linked with the protective cap 20 so that the protective cap 20 brings the tip cap 30 out of the needle tip 111 when being detached from the barrel 10, that is, detachment of the protective cap 20 from the front end of the barrel 10 can bring the tip cap 30 out of the needle tip 111 so that the needle tip 111 is exposed. For example, when the lancet 1 is to be used, the protective cap 20 is sleeved on the front end of the barrel 10 and the needle tip 111 is located in the needle tip cap 30 to protect the lancet, and when the lancet 1 is required to be used, the protective cap 20 is detached from the front end of the barrel 10 (the protective cap 20 is pulled forward) so as to drive the needle tip cap 30 to be detached from the needle tip 111 forward, and the needle tip 111 is exposed.

The blood collection needle 1 provided by the embodiment of the invention realizes the protection and exposure of the needlepoint 111 of the needle body 110 by the protective cap 20 and the needlepoint cap 30 which are linked. The protective cap 20 sleeved at the front end of the barrel body 10 is separated from the barrel body 10, so that the needle tip cap 30 is driven to be separated from the needle tip 111, the exposure of the needle tip 111 is realized, and the operation is simple, convenient, rapid and reliable. Moreover, when the blood collection needle 1 is to be used, the needle tip 111 is inserted into the rear end of the needle tip cap 30, namely, is positioned in the needle tip cap 30, so that the problem of personal injury caused by error shooting does not occur. Therefore, the blood lancet 1 provided by the invention also has the advantage of good safety performance.

In some embodiments, the needle tip cap 30 is provided separately from the needle core 40, the rear end of the needle tip cap 30 abuts against the front end of the needle core 40, and the protective cap 20 is interference-fitted with the front end of the barrel 10. The interference fit between the protective cap 20 and the front end of the barrel 10 can prevent the protective cap 20 from easily separating from the barrel 10, and the operator needs to pull the protective cap 20 off the barrel 10 with a certain force, thereby improving the safety of the blood collection needle 1.

In other embodiments, at least one of the needle tip cap 30 and the core 40 has a breakage portion 31, and the front end of the core 40 and the rear end of the needle tip cap 30 are integrally connected by the breakage portion 31. That is, the needle tip cap 30 and the needle core 40 are integrally formed, and the junction of the needle tip cap 30 and the needle core 40 is a breakable part 31, and the breakable part 31 is broken when the protective cap 20 moves the needle tip cap 30 to allow the needle tip cap 30 to be separated from the needle tip 111. That is, the breakable part 31 may serve to connect the tip cap 30 and the hub 40, and may be broken when the protective cap 20 moves the tip cap 30. In this embodiment, the protective cap 20 may not be interference-fitted with the front end of the barrel 10, since the tip cap 30 and the hub 40 are integrally formed, and the protective cap 20 is not easily separated from the barrel 10 by the tip cap 30. Alternatively, the operator can pull the protective cap 20 off by rotating the protective cap 20 to break the frangible portion 31 more quickly and with less effort.

In some embodiments, in order to realize the linkage between the protective cap 20 and the needle tip cap 30, a first limiting portion is provided at the front end of the needle tip cap 30, a second limiting portion is provided on the inner circumferential wall of the protective cap 20, and the first limiting portion and the second limiting portion are engaged so that the protective cap 20 and the needle tip cap 30 are limited from each other to realize the linkage.

Further, the first and second stoppers are engaged to restrict the relative translation of the needle tip cap 30 and the protective cap 20 in the front-back direction and the relative rotation in the circumferential direction of the protective cap 20. That is, since the first stopper and the second stopper are engaged with each other, the needlepoint cap 30 and the protective cap 20 are stopped from each other in the front-rear direction and from each other in the circumferential direction around the protective cap 20, a more reliable interlocking relationship between the needlepoint cap 30 and the protective cap 20 is achieved. The needle tip cap 30 can be rotated by rotating the protective cap 20, so that the needle tip cap 30 can be moved forward by moving the protective cap 20 forward.

The structure of the protective cap 20 and the tip cap 30 of one embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to fig. 1-7.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, in the present embodiment, the lancet needle 1 has a breakage facilitating portion 31 on the tip cap 30, and the front end of the core 40 and the rear end of the tip cap 30 are integrally connected by the breakage facilitating portion 31. Most of the needle body 110 is embedded in the core 40, and the needle tip 111 protruding from the front end of the core 40 is located in the needle tip cap 30. The breakable part 31 is broken when the protective cap 20 moves the needle tip cap 30, i.e., the needle tip cap 30 is separated from the core 40, and the separation of the needle tip cap 30 and the core 40 allows the needle tip cap 30 to be separated from the needle tip 111, exposing the needle tip 111. Alternatively, the operator can rotate the needle tip cap 30 by rotating the protective cap 20, and the needle tip cap 30 rotates relative to the needle core 40, so that the breakable part 31 can be broken more quickly and more easily.

It will be appreciated that in this embodiment, the protective cap 20 may or may not have an interference fit with the forward end of the barrel 10. This is because the tip cap 30 and the hub 40 are integrally formed by the breakable part 31, and the protective cap 20 is not separated from the barrel 10 without rotating or pulling the protective cap 20 forward without an external force, even though the protective cap 20 is not interference-fitted with the front end of the barrel 10 by the tip cap 30. Alternatively, the inner diameter of the protective cap 20 may be equal to the outer diameter of the front end of the barrel 10, so that the protective cap 20 can be more easily separated from the barrel 10 while preventing the protective cap 20 from shaking relative to the barrel 10, thereby reducing the force required for operation.

As shown in fig. 8, the rear end of the needle tip cap 30 extends into the barrel 10, the front end of the needle tip cap 30 is located outside the barrel 10, the front end of the needle tip cap 30 is provided with a first limiting portion, and the inner peripheral wall of the protective cap 20 is provided with a second limiting portion engaged with the first limiting portion. In this embodiment, the first limiting portion is a slot 32 formed on the outer circumferential wall of the tip cap 30, the second limiting portion is an elastic claw 21 formed on the inner circumferential wall of the protective cap 20, the elastic claw 21 extends inward from the inner circumferential wall of the protective cap 20, and the free end thereof is engaged in the slot 32. In this embodiment, the protective cap 20 and the tip cap 30 are linked by the engagement of the elastic claws 21 and the locking grooves 32, and specifically, the tip cap 30 and the protective cap 20 are limited to relatively translate in the front-back direction and relatively rotate in the circumferential direction of the protective cap 20, that is, the rotation of the protective cap 20 can drive the rotation of the tip cap 30, and the translation of the protective cap 20 in the front-back direction can drive the translation of the tip cap 30.

Further, in order to facilitate the assembly of the protective cap 20 with the needle tip cap 30, the elastic claws 21 are obliquely forwardly extended from the inner circumferential wall of the protective cap 20. When the protective cap 20 is assembled, the protective cap 20 moves backwards relative to the needle tip cap 30, and the elastic claws 21 deform and are finally clamped into the clamping grooves 32 on the needle tip cap 30, so that the blood taking needle 1 provided by the embodiment has the advantages of convenience in assembly and reasonable structure.

As shown in fig. 3, two locking grooves 32 are formed on the needle tip cap 30, the two locking grooves 32 are opposite to each other in the radial direction of the needle tip cap 30, two elastic claws 21 are formed on the protective cap 20, the two elastic claws 21 are opposite to each other in the radial direction of the protective cap 20, and the elastic claws 21 are correspondingly fitted in the locking grooves 32.

It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the number of the catching grooves 32 and the number of the elastic claws 21 may be more than two, the plurality of catching grooves 32 are arranged at intervals around the circumference of the needle tip cap 30, the plurality of elastic claws 21 are arranged at intervals around the circumference of the protective cap 20, and the elastic claws 21 are fitted in the catching grooves 32 in one-to-one correspondence.

Further, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, a step 33 is provided on an outer circumferential wall of a front end of the tip cap 30, and a catching step 22 for catching the step 33 is provided on an inner circumferential wall of the protective cap 20. In the present embodiment, the two blocks 22 include two and each fan shape, the two blocks 22 are opposite to and spaced apart from each other in the radial direction of the protective cap 20, the front end of the needle tip cap 30 is formed as a flat portion 34, and the flat portion 34 is fitted between the two blocks 22. Specifically, the outer circumferential wall of the front end of the needle tip cap 30 is provided with two steps 33 opposite to each other, so that a flat portion 34 is formed at the front end of the needle tip cap 30, and the flat portion 34 has two opposite side surfaces. The flat portion 34 is fitted between the two catches 22 so that the two side surfaces are opposed to the free ends of the two catches 22 one by one, respectively. The arrangement further improves the mutual limiting relation between the protective cap 20 and the needlepoint cap 30 in the circumferential direction around the protective cap 20, and the mechanism of the blood collection needle 1 is more reasonable.

It will be appreciated that in order to effect separation of the hub 40 from the tip cap 30, the hub 40 should not rotate with the tip cap 30. In the present embodiment, the needle core 40 and the cylinder 10 are limited in the circumferential direction of the cylinder 10. As shown in fig. 13, a cylinder sliding groove 130 extending in the front-rear direction is provided on the inner circumferential wall of the cylinder 10, and the needle core 40 has a sliding wing 42, and the sliding wing 42 is slidably fitted in the cylinder sliding groove 130. Since the sliding wing 42 is fitted in the cylinder sliding groove 130, the needle core 40 is restricted from rotating.

The process of detaching the protective cap 20 from the barrel 10 and the process of detaching the needle tip cap 30 from the needle tip 111 are described below with reference to fig. 8 and 9.

As shown in FIG. 8, the lancet 1 is in the unfired state, the protective cap 20 is fitted over the barrel 10, the needlepoint 111 is inserted into the rear end of the needlepoint cap 30, and as shown in FIG. 9, the protective cap 20 is rotated to rotate the needlepoint cap 30. The sliding wings 42 are fitted in the cylinder sliding grooves 130, the needle core 40 and the cylinder 1 are circumferentially limited from each other, and the needle core 40 and the needle body 111 are not rotated. The tip cap 30 moves forward relative to the hub 40 while the protective cap 20 moves forward to be separated from the barrel 10 due to the rotation of the tip cap 30 relative to the hub 40, and in the process, the portion of the needle tip 111 originally located in the tip cap 30 moves backward relative to the tip cap 30, gradually separates from the tip cap 30, and finally reaches the completely separated state of fig. 9, in which the needle tip 111 is exposed.

As shown in fig. 2, the lancet 1 further includes a launching spring 50, a launching sheath 60, and a connection ring 70. As shown in fig. 13, a rib 120 extending in the front-rear direction is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the cylinder 10. A firing spring 50 is disposed within the barrel 10 and stops between the barrel 10 and the needle core 40, the firing spring 50 serving to urge the needle core 40 forwardly. The needle core 40 can be shot forward under the action of the shooting spring 50, the needle core 40 is shot forward to drive the needle body 110 to move forward, and the needle point 111 of the needle body 110 is shot out from the front end of the barrel 10 to realize the blood sampling function.

The firing jacket 60 has a pushing portion 61, and the firing jacket 60 is provided in the cylinder 10 and is movable from a first position to a second position in a front-to-rear direction, i.e., the firing jacket 60 is moved rearward so as to be moved from the first position to the second position. The connection ring 70 is provided in the barrel 10 at the rear of the discharge sleeve 60, and the front end of the connection ring 70 is provided with teeth 71 and splines 72 between adjacent teeth 71. At least one of the rear end surface of the pushing portion 61 and the front end surface of the tooth 71 is a slope.

In the first position, the forward end of the firing sleeve 60 extends from the forward end of the barrel 10, the rearward ends of the ribs 120 engage in the splines 72 and the coupling ring 70 stops the forward movement of the needle core 40. That is, the front end of the firing sleeve 60 in the first position is located outside the barrel 10, the rear ends of the ribs 120 extend rearwardly into the splines 72 of the coupling ring 70 and abut the groove bottoms of the splines 72 to stop the forward movement of the coupling ring 70, and the coupling ring 70 prevents the forward movement of the hub 40.

When the shooting pot 60 is moved backward so as to be moved from the first position to the second position, the push portion 61 of the shooting pot 60 drives the connection ring 70 to move backward by pushing the teeth 71 of the connection ring 70, the protrusions 120 are disengaged from the teeth grooves 72, and the teeth 71 slide relative to the push portion 61 under the urging of the shooting spring 50 so that the connection ring 70 rotates, so that the connection ring 70 releases the needle core 40 and the needle core 40 is shot forward under the urging of the shooting spring 50.

That is, in the process of moving the shooting sleeve 60 backward, the rear end surface of the pushing portion 61 of the shooting sleeve 60 abuts against the front end surface of the teeth 71 of the connection ring 70 so that the shooting sleeve 60 pushes the connection ring 70 to move backward, the connection ring 70 moves backward so that the protrusions 120 gradually disengage from the tooth grooves 72, and after the protrusions 120 completely disengage from the tooth grooves 72, the protrusions 120 lose the stop of the connection ring 70. Since the firing spring 50 presses the needle core 40 and the connection ring 70 to stop the needle core 40 forward, and at least one of the rear end surface of the pushing portion 61 and the front end surface of the teeth 71 is an inclined surface, after the protruding strip 120 is completely separated from the tooth grooves 72, the teeth 71 and the pushing portion 61 slide relative to each other, specifically, the relative position of the firing sleeve 60 and the pushing portion 61 thereof to the barrel 10 is unchanged, the connection ring 70 and the teeth 71 thereof rotate relative to the barrel 10, the connection ring 70 is no longer stopped against the needle core 40 due to the rotation of the connection ring 70, the needle core 40 loses the limit of the connection ring 70 and is fired forward under the push of the firing spring 50, and finally, the needle head of the needle body 110 in the needle core 40 is exposed forward from the front end of each of the firing sleeve 60 and the barrel 10, thereby achieving the blood sampling function.

When the firing sleeve 60 is in the first position, the front end thereof protrudes from the front end of the sleeve, the rear ends of the protrusions 120 of the barrel 10 are engaged in the splines 72 of the connection ring 70 to stop the connection ring 70, and the connection ring 70 stops the needle core 40 from moving forward, so that the needle of the needle body 110 is located inside the blood collection needle 1, that is, the needle body 110 is in the non-firing state. The front end of the firing sleeve 60 is pressed against the skin, the barrel 10 is held by hand and the barrel 10 is pushed forward (close to the skin), the firing sleeve 60 moves backward relative to the barrel 10 and moves from the first position to the second position, in the process, the rear end surface of the pushing portion 61 of the firing sleeve 60 abuts against the front end surface of the teeth 71 of the connecting ring 70 to make the firing sleeve 60 push the connecting ring 70 backward, finally the ribs 120 completely disengage from the tooth grooves 72, the teeth 71 slide relative to the pushing portion 61 under the pressing of the firing spring 50, since at least one of the rear end surface of the pushing portion 61 and the front end surface of the teeth 71 is a bevel, the sliding of the teeth 71 of the connecting ring 70 relative to the pushing portion 61 is represented by the rotation of the connecting ring 70, the rotation of the connecting ring 70 releases the needle core 40, the needle core 40 is shot forward under the pushing of the firing spring 50, the needle is shot forward and exposed from the front end of each of the firing sleeve 60 and the barrel 10, prick into the skin in front of the transmitting sleeve 60 to realize blood sampling.

The lancet 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention skillfully realizes the firing of the core 40 inside the cylinder 10 by the cylinder 10, the firing spring 50, the firing sleeve 60 and the connection ring 70 acting with each other. When the lancet 1 is not used, the teeth 71, the connection ring 70 and the core 40 of the barrel 10 are stopped against each other to safely hide the needle body 110 and the needlepoint 111 thereof inside the barrel 10, thereby providing high safety. When the blood taking needle 1 is used, the user only needs to hold the barrel body 10 by hand to enable the front end of the launching sleeve 60 to abut against the skin, and moves the barrel body 10 forwards to enable the launching sleeve 60 and the barrel body 10 to slide relatively, so that the launching of the needle core 40 with the needle body 110 can be realized, and the blood taking needle is simple to operate, reasonable in structure and reliable in performance.

As shown in fig. 13, four protrusions 120 extending in the front-rear direction are provided on the inner circumferential wall of the tubular body 10, the four protrusions 120 are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the tubular body 10, and a fitting groove 121 extending in the front-rear direction is formed between adjacent protrusions 120. Further, in order to better guide the rotation of the coupling ring 70, the front end surfaces of the ribs 120 are beveled, and in the second position, the teeth 71 of the coupling ring 70 slide gradually relative to the pushing portion 61 of the firing sleeve 60 to a position engaged with the beveled surfaces of the ribs 120, so that at least one of the ribs 120 and the pushing portion 61 is engaged in the gullets 72 to stop the forward movement of the coupling ring 70 when the stylet 40 is fired forward. It is understood that in other embodiments, the number of the convex strips 120 may not be four, and is not limited herein, and the plurality of convex strips 120 are distributed at intervals along the circumferential direction of the barrel 10 and are not limited to be equally spaced. Preferably, the ribs 120 are arranged in pairs and the pairs of ribs 120 are arranged opposite to each other in the radial direction of the barrel 10.

That is, when the firing sleeve 60 is moved backward to the second position and the teeth 71 of the connection ring 70 slide relative to the pushing portion 61 of the firing sleeve 60, the teeth 71 gradually slide along the slopes of the ribs 120 until engaging with the slopes of the ribs 120, thereby causing the plunger 40 to be fired forward, the ribs 120 and/or the pushing portion 61 stop against the bottom of the tooth grooves 72 to stop the connection ring 70 from moving further.

Further, in order to further improve the structural reliability when the connection ring 70 is rotated with respect to the shooting pot 60, both the rear end surface of the push portion 61 and the top surface of the teeth 71 are inclined surfaces. Also, the rear end surface of the pushing portion 61 and the top surface of the tooth 71 are inclined surfaces that are engaged with each other. Further, the inclination angle of the rear end surface of the pushing portion 61 and the top surface of the tooth 71 is the same as the inclination angle of the front end surface of the convex strip 120.

As shown in fig. 15 and 16, the transmitting sleeve 60 includes a sleeve body 62, the pushing portion 61 is a strip-shaped block, and the pushing portion 61 is disposed on the outer peripheral wall of the sleeve body 62 and extends rearward beyond the rear end face of the sleeve body 62. As an example, the front end of the bar-shaped pushing part 61 is connected to the outer peripheral wall of the sheath 62 and protrudes outward relative to the outer peripheral wall of the sheath 62, and the rear end of the pushing part 61 is located behind the rear end face of the sheath 62, i.e., a part of the pushing part 61 protrudes rearward relative to the rear cross section of the sheath 62. The push portion 61 is slidably fitted in a fitting groove 121 formed by the convex strips 120 on the inner circumferential wall of the cylinder 10, and when the discharge sleeve 60 is moved rearward to move from the first position to the second position, the push portion 61 slides rearward along the fitting groove 121, and the fitting groove 121 serves as a guide for restricting the rotation of the discharge sleeve 60. And, the cooperation of the pushing part 61 and the fitting groove 121 facilitates the assembly of the launching sleeve 60, when the launching sleeve 60 is assembled, the launching sleeve 60 is loaded into the barrel body 10 from the rear end of the barrel body 10 until the front end of the launching sleeve 60 protrudes from the front end of the barrel body 10, and in the process that the launching sleeve 60 moves from back to front, the pushing part 61 is automatically guided into any one fitting groove 121 and slides forwards along the fitting groove 121.

In some embodiments, the pushing portions 61 are arranged in pairs and the pairs of pushing portions 61 are arranged opposite to each other in a radial direction of the sheath body 62. As shown in fig. 15 and 16, the discharge sleeve 60 has two push portions 61 disposed opposite to each other in the radial direction of the sleeve body 62.

Further, as shown in fig. 15, the front end of the push portion 61 is tapered to be better guided into the fitting groove 121 during the assembly of the launching sleeve 60.

The connecting ring 70 has a plurality of teeth 71 and is evenly spaced along the circumference of the connecting ring 70. as shown in fig. 15 and 16, the connecting ring 70 in this embodiment has four teeth 71 evenly spaced along the circumference thereof. The front end surface of the tooth 71 is a slope. It will be appreciated that in this embodiment the leading faces of the teeth 71 share a common face with the slot floor of the slot 72. An engaging surface 73 extending in the front-rear direction is provided between the tooth 71 and the adjacent tooth groove 72, the front end of the engaging surface 73 is connected to the front end of the front end surface of the tooth 71, and the rear end of the engaging surface 73 is connected to the rear end of the front end surface of the adjacent tooth 71.

Preferably, the length of the front end surface (slope) of the tooth 71 is equal to the sum of the lengths of the rear end surface (slope) of the convex strip 120 and the rear end surface of the pushing portion 61 (slope). It will be understood that "length" herein refers to the length of the ramp in the direction of its extent.

It should be noted that the teeth 71 and the splines 72 of the coupling ring 70 in this embodiment are configured to achieve a 360 degree self-indexing position when assembled into the barrel 10. When the connection ring 70 is assembled, the connection ring 70 is assembled from the rear end of the barrel body 10 to the front end, and the front end surface of the teeth 71 of the connection ring 70 is an inclined surface, so that the connection ring 70 can be automatically engaged with the convex strip 120 on any one barrel body 10, the advance alignment is not needed, and an additional guiding measure is not needed, so that the assembly of the blood collection needle 1 is convenient and rapid.

The following describes in detail the firing process of the lancet 1 of the present embodiment, taking as an example that the protruding strip 120 includes the first protruding strip 122 and the second protruding strip 123.

A pushing portion 61 of the firing sleeve 60 is fitted in a fitting groove 121 formed between the first rib 122 and the second rib 123. In the first position, the rear end surface of the pushing portion 61 is located in front of and flush with the rear end surface of the first projecting strip 122 in the extending direction thereof. Each of the rear end surface of the first projecting strip 122 and the rear end surface of the pushing portion 61 abuts against the front end surface of the tooth 71. The meshing surface 73 connected to the rear end of the front end surface of the tooth 71 is a first meshing surface 731, the meshing surface 73 connected to the front end of the front end surface of the tooth 71 is a second meshing surface 732, the side surface of the first protrusion 122 abuts against the first meshing surface 731, the side surface of the second protrusion 123 abuts against the second meshing surface 732, and at this time, the lancet 1 is in a tape-fired state. The connection ring 70 is restrained in the forward direction by the common resisting action of the first and second protrusions 122, 123.

When the firing sleeve 60 moves from the first position to the second position, the pushing portion 61 moves backward along the engaging groove 121, the rear end surface of the pushing portion 61 abuts against the front end surface of the tooth 71, so that the connecting ring 70 moves backward under the driving of the pushing portion 61, and the rear end surface of the first protrusion 122 is separated from the front end surface of the tooth 71. The first engaging surface 731 slides backwards along the side of the first protrusion 122, the second engaging surface 732 slides backwards along the side of the second protrusion 123, and the transmitting sleeve 60 and the connecting ring 70 are both limited in the circumferential direction, i.e. they do not rotate, under the guidance of the first protrusion 122 and the second protrusion 123.

When the firing sleeve 60 reaches the second position, the first engaging surface 731 is completely disengaged from the first protrusion 122, the second engaging surface 732 is completely disengaged from the second protrusion 123, and the first protrusion 122 and the second protrusion 123 are completely disengaged from the tooth slot 72. At this time, the rear end surface of the pushing portion 61 is located behind the rear end surface of the second projecting strip 123 and flush with it in the extending direction. Under the compression of the launching spring 50, the front end surface of the tooth 71 slides relative to the rear end surface of the pushing portion 61, the front end surface of the tooth 71 gradually slides onto the rear end surface of the second protruding strip 123 and slides until the front end surface of the tooth 71 is opposite to the rear end surface of the second protruding strip 123 and the rear end surface of the pushing portion 61, the first engaging surface 731 abuts against the side surface of the pushing portion 61, and the second protruding strip 123 and the pushing portion 61 jointly abut against the tooth 71 to prevent the tooth 71 from continuously sliding. The connection ring 70 appears to rotate forward during the relative sliding of the front end surface of the tooth 71 and the rear end surface of the pushing portion 61. Rotation of the coupling ring 70 releases the stylet 40 and the stylet 40 is fired forward under the urging of the firing spring 50.

As shown in fig. 3, 15 and 16, the stylet 40 is provided with a stopper 41, the connecting ring 70 is provided with a stopper boss 74 on the inner peripheral wall thereof, the stopper boss 74 stops the stopper 41 at a first position, and the stopper 41 is disengaged from the stopper boss 74 at a second position. Specifically, the front end of the shoot spring 50 is stopped against the rear end of the stopper 41 so that the shoot spring 50 urges the needle core 40 forward. In the first position and the process of moving the first position to the second position, the front end of the position-limiting portion 41 is stopped against the rear end of the stop boss 74, so that the connecting ring 70 drives the stylet 40 to move backward, and the stylet 40 moves backward to compress the firing spring 50. In the second position, the coupling ring 70 is rotated to disengage the stopper 41 from the stopper projection 74, and the stylet 40 is no longer restrained by the coupling ring 70 and is fired forward under the urging of the firing spring 50. In the present embodiment, the connecting ring 70 is provided with four stopping bosses 74, the four stopping bosses 74 are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction, and the stylet 40 is provided with two radially opposite limiting portions 41.

Further, in the present embodiment, the rear end surface of the stop boss 74 is a slope, so that the stopper portion 41 can be more smoothly separated from the stop boss 74 when the connection ring 70 rotates.

As shown in fig. 16, the stopper bosses 74 on the inner circumferential wall of the coupling ring 70 are bar-shaped and extend in the front-rear direction, and the slide guide grooves 75 are formed between the adjacent stopper bosses 74, it being understood that the slide guide grooves 75 extend in the front-rear direction. When the core 40 is shot forward, the stopper 41 slides forward along the slide guide 75, that is, the slide guide 75 serves to guide the core 40 when it is shot forward, preventing the core 40 from rotating.

The inner peripheral wall of the transmitting sleeve 60 is provided with a limiting groove 63 extending in the front-rear direction, when the connecting ring 70 rotates to the limit position, the limiting groove 63 is opposite to the sliding guide groove 75 in the front-rear direction, in this embodiment, the limiting grooves 63 include two grooves and are opposite to each other in the radial direction of the sleeve body 62, and the two limiting grooves 63 correspond to the two pushing portions 61 of the transmitting sleeve 60 one by one. In other embodiments, the number of the limiting grooves 63 may be four and correspond to four sliding guide grooves 75 one to one.

The limiting groove 63 is used for limiting the limit position of the forward movement of the needle core 40. The stopper 41 enters the stopper groove 63 and slides forward along the stopper groove 63 to the limit position when the core 40 is shot forward. The extreme position of the stylet 40 is its most forward position when fired forward. Alternatively, when the stylet 40 reaches the limit position, the front end of the stylet 40 is flush with the front end of the firing sleeve 60, the needle tip 111 is completely exposed from the front end of the firing sleeve 60, and the front end of the stopper 41 on the stylet 40 abuts against the groove bottom of the stopper groove 63.

It will be appreciated that the coupling ring 70 is rotated so that the hub 40 does not rotate with the coupling ring 70 in order to achieve disengagement of the stop portion 41 of the hub 40 from the stop ledge 74. To achieve this, in the present embodiment, the needle core 40 and the cylinder 10 are limited in the circumferential direction of the cylinder 10. As shown in fig. 13, the cylinder 10 is provided on the inner peripheral wall thereof with a cylinder slide groove 130 extending in the front-rear direction, and the needle core 40 has a slide wing 42, and the slide wing 42 is slidably fitted in the cylinder slide groove 130. During the movement of the first position to the second position, the needle core 40 moves backward, and the sliding wing 42 slides backward along the cylinder sliding groove 130. In the second position, the sliding wing 42 is engaged in the sliding groove 130 of the barrel body, so that the needle core 40 is restricted from rotating, and the limiting part 41 on the needle core 40 can be smoothly separated from the stopping boss 74.

Further, a step 140 is provided on the inner circumferential wall of the barrel 10, and the firing sleeve 60 has an elastic catching protrusion 64, and when the firing sleeve 60 moves from the first position to the second position, the elastic catching protrusion 64 is caught by the step 140 to prevent the firing sleeve 60 from moving forward during the forward firing of the needle core 40. As an example, as shown in fig. 13, four step portions 140 are provided on the inner circumferential wall of the cylinder 10, the four step portions 140 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction, the emission sleeve 60 has two elastic tabs 64, the two elastic tabs 64 are opposite in the radial direction, the elastic tabs 64 are connected to the outer circumferential wall of the sleeve body 62 and extend outward from the outer circumferential wall of the sleeve body 62, and the elastic tabs 64 can be elastically deformed. When the firing sleeve 60 moves to the second position, the resilient tabs 64 are located behind the step 140 and abut forward against the step surface of the step 140 to prevent the firing sleeve 60 from moving forward when the stylet 40 is fired. And after the needle core 40 is fired, the elastic clamping protrusions 64 are still clamped on the step part 140 so that the firing sleeve 60 cannot slide forward relative to the barrel 10.

As shown in fig. 8, the lancet 1 further includes a needle withdrawing spring 80, the needle withdrawing spring 80 is disposed in the firing sleeve 60, and a front end of the needle withdrawing spring 80 abuts against the firing sleeve 60. The needle withdrawing spring 80 may be in a freely extended state when the needle core 40 is not fired forward. As shown in FIG. 11, when the plunger 40 is fired forward, the plunger 40 gradually compresses the needle withdrawing spring 80, and when the plunger 40 moves forward to the limit position, the needle withdrawing spring 80 pushes the plunger 40 to move backward to retract the needle tip 111 of the needle 110 into the firing sleeve 60 and/or the barrel 10.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 11, when the needle core 40 is shot forward, the front end of the stopper portion 41 abuts against the rear end of the needle withdrawing spring 80 to gradually compress the needle withdrawing spring 80, and the needle withdrawing spring 80 is compressed to apply a rearward force to the needle core 40. When the needle core 40 moves forwards to the limit position, the backward force applied to the needle core 40 by the needle withdrawing spring 80 is greater than the forward force applied to the needle core 40 by the firing spring 50, and under the action of the needle withdrawing spring 80, the needle core 40 starts to move backwards until the needle tip 111 retracts into the firing sleeve 60, so that after the blood taking needle 1 is used, the needle tip 111 cannot be exposed to cause unnecessary injury to personnel, cross infection is avoided, and the safety performance of the blood taking needle 1 is improved.

The operation of the lancet 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to fig. 8 to 12.

As shown in fig. 8, the lancet 1 is in a non-firing state, the protective cap 20 is sleeved on the barrel 10, the needle tip 111 extends into the rear end of the needle tip cap 30, the firing sleeve 60 is located at the first position, the front end of the firing sleeve 60 extends out from the front end of the barrel 10, the rear ends of the protruding strips 120 are engaged in the tooth grooves 72, and the front end of the limiting portion 41 of the needle core 40 abuts against the stopping boss 74 of the connecting ring 70.

As shown in fig. 9, the protective cap 20 is detached from the barrel 10, and the needlepoint cap 30 is detached from the needlepoint 111 by the protective cap 20, and the needlepoint 111 is exposed. The front end of the firing sleeve 60 is pressed against the skin, the barrel 10 is held in the hand and the barrel 10 is pushed forward, causing the firing sleeve 60 to move rearward relative to the barrel 10 from the first position to the second position of fig. 10. In this process, the pushing portion 61 of the striking sleeve 60 pushes the teeth 71 of the coupling ring 70 rearward to move the coupling ring 70 rearward, and the front end of the stopper portion 41 of the needle core 40 abuts on the stopper projection 74 of the coupling ring 70, and the needle core 40 moves rearward against the coupling ring 70 and compresses the striking spring 50. After reaching the second position of fig. 10, the elastic locking protrusion 64 of the firing sleeve 60 is locked on the step part 140 of the cylinder 10, and the step part 140 restricts the forward movement of the firing sleeve 60. The rib 120 is completely disengaged from the tooth groove 72, and the front end surface of the tooth 71 slides relative to the rear end surface of the pushing portion 61 under the urging of the striking spring 50, while the tooth 71 gradually slides forward along the inclined rear end surface of the rib 120, and the connection ring 70 is previously rotated. After the connection ring 70 is rotated to the limit position, the sliding guide groove 75 of the connection ring 70 and the limit groove 63 of the radiation cover 60 are opposed in the front-rear direction. Since the sliding wing 42 of the needle core 40 is fitted in the cylinder sliding groove 130 of the cylinder 10, the needle core 40 does not slide relative to the cylinder 10, and thus the stopper 41 of the needle core 40 is disengaged from the stopper boss 74. The needle core 40 is shot forward by the pressing of the striking spring 50, and the stopper portion 41 of the needle core 40 slides forward along the slide guide groove 75 and the stopper groove 63 until it abuts against the groove bottom of the stopper groove 63 to reach the state of fig. 11. In fig. 11, the needle core 40 is shot forward to the limit position, the needle of the needle body 110 is exposed from the front end of the shot sleeve 60, and the needle is inserted into the skin since the front end of the shot sleeve 60 is pressed against the skin. During forward firing of the needle core 40, the front end of the stopper 41 presses the rear end of the needle withdrawing spring 80 to compress the needle withdrawing spring 80. When the core 40 reaches the extreme position shown in fig. 11, the core 40 is moved rearwardly by the needle retraction spring 80 until the condition of fig. 12 is reached, as shown in fig. 12, and the core 40 is moved rearwardly by the needle retraction spring 80 until the needle is retracted into the firing sleeve 60. It can be understood that the lancet 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention is a disposable lancet.

As shown in fig. 2, the lancet 1 includes a rear cover 90 for loading from the rear end of the cylinder 10 to cover the rear end opening of the cylinder 10. When the lancet 1 is assembled, the shoot pack 60, the needle withdrawing spring 80, the connection ring 70, the needle core 40, and the shoot spring 50 are sequentially loaded into the barrel 10 from the rear end of the barrel 10 to the front, and the front end of the shoot pack 60 is protruded from the front end of the barrel 10 and the front end of the needle tip cap 30 is protruded from the front end of the shoot pack 60, respectively. The protective cap 20 is sleeved on the front end of the barrel 10 from front to back, so that the elastic claws 21 of the protective cap 20 are engaged with the catching grooves 32 of the spike cap 30, and the flat part 34 of the front end of the spike cap 30 is fitted between the two catching seats 22 of the protective cap 20, completing the assembly.
