When the key is not pressed, the IO port corresponding to the MCU detects a high level, when the key is pressed, the high level on the IO port can be changed into a low level, and the MCU judges whether the key is pressed or not by detecting the level change. When the on-off operation is executed, the key-press time, namely the low level time, is mainly judged, if the low level time exceeds 2-3S, the MCU considers the key-press instruction as the on-off instruction, if the key-press instruction is in the on-state at present, the off-state is executed, and if the key-press instruction is in the off-state at present, the on-state is executed. Meanwhile, combining the current working state, under the condition of short key pressing (non-on-off key operation), if the current state is a low gear, switching to a middle gear under the key instruction; the current is a middle grade, and the key instruction is switched to a high grade; similarly, the high gear is the low gear in the switching process, and the low, medium and high states are circularly switched.

Thus, the current density is often set within the pain threshold of the skin, i.e., less than 0.5mA cm 2 The current output range of the designed adjustable constant current source is three-gear with 0.05-0.15 mA, 0.25-0.35 mA and 0.4-0.5 mA, and the error is less than +/-0.02 mA. For convenient wearing, button battery or small battery with constant 12v power supply voltage and three-gear outputThe current can realize one-key regulation and control of the epinephrine infusion rate within the range of the skin pain threshold, and simultaneously, the self-one-key regulation and control of the acting time and the infusion rate of percutaneous administration according to specific conditions is convenient to realize. In order to prevent false touch, a circuit is designed to be switched on when the three-second key S1 is pressed for a long time, and the output current is about 0.1mA which is an adjustable minimum value when the circuit is switched on so as to avoid damage to a human body caused by overlarge current. The three-gear output current is displayed by three different indicator lamps D2, D3 and D4, so that the observation is convenient.
