Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for the preferably metered administration of a liquid and preferably containing a medicinal or therapeutic active ingredient, very particularly preferably for the administration of insulin for the treatment of diabetes patients.
  • liquids which contain a medical or therapeutic active substance are preferably stored in a fluid container in which a piston stopper is mounted so as to be axially displaceable.
  • the piston plug is axially displaced by an output member of a drive mechanism toward an outlet of the fluid container in order to cause fluid to be released from the fluid container.
  • the fluid container is interchangeable. This requires a connection mechanism for releasably connecting the piston plug to the output member.
  • connection mechanism should be designed in such a way that the connection between the piston plug and the output member is blocked against axial displacement of the output member relative to the piston plug, in order to prevent, for example, self-emptying of the fluid container due to the so-called siphoning effect.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a device for the preferably metered administration of a product with a connecting mechanism which is designed in such a way that the connection between the piston plug and the output member can be easily established and released again.
  • the connecting mechanism is designed such that the connection between the piston plug and the driven member is moved towards the piston plug by axially advancing the driven member can be produced. It is advantageous that the drive mechanism of the injection or infusion device in which the fluid container is to be used does not need to be specially designed for the exchange of the fluid container. Rather, the axial feed movement of the driven member, for which the mechanics of the injection or infusion device is designed anyway, can also be used at the same time to establish the connection between the piston plug and the driven member.
  • a suitable mechanical connection between the piston plug and the output member which is sufficiently stable for an exact dosage of the fluid dose administered.
  • a mechanical connection are a locking, a latching or a snap connection.
  • the driven member When the driven member is pushed axially towards the piston plug, the driven member is preferably not rotated. A simultaneous rotation of the driven member during the axial advancement can, however, in principle be permissible according to the invention in order to produce the connection.
  • the output member itself or a front end of the output member is preferably pushed into the piston plug to establish the connection and / or the piston plug is pushed over the output member by insertion.
  • means for establishing the mechanical connection are provided on the output member, preferably at its front end, for example suitable locking, latching or snap means.
  • These means are received in the piston stopper by correspondingly designed elements, for example by correspondingly designed locking, latching or snap-in means, which can be formed in particular by the threads of conventional piston stopper.
  • the output member can be advanced substantially unimpeded to establish the mechanical connection without exerting any significant driving force on the piston plug.
  • the connection is brought about by inserting the fluid container. It is advantageous that no unintentional propelling force is exerted on the piston plug when the mechanical connection is established, which would cause an unintentional release of fluid.
  • the connecting mechanism is designed to be flexible, so that the elements of the connecting mechanism which bring about the mechanical connection are flexible when the driven member is advanced axially and / or are resilient and / or not locked as long as the mechanical connection, for example by locking, latching or snapping, has not yet been established, so that the elements of the connecting mechanism which bring about the mechanical connection, however, after the mechanical connection has been established, prevent it from being adjusted axially lock the output member relative to the piston plug.
  • the device is provided with a device by means of which the driven member for moving the connection to the piston plug is moved in the direction of advance, preferably by motor.
  • the device further comprises a device which detects when the driven member and the piston plug are correctly connected to one another and preferably also when the driven member is locked to the piston plug.
  • a detection device can in particular comprise a sensor for measuring an axial force or a torque which acts on the output element. The point in time at which the driven member is correctly positioned in the piston plug is signaled by a change in the axial force or the torque measured by the sensor.
  • the change in the measured variable for example the axial force or the torque, can vary from the wall friction between the piston stopper and the fluid container and / or the flow resistance to the outlet of the The fluid container connecting catheter.
  • the evaluation of the flow resistance requires a catheter. However, this is not a disadvantage since the catheter has to be filled with the fluid after the fluid container has been inserted. It can be used here that the change in the measured variable also increases with the increase in the axial speed which the output element and the piston plug have to produce the connection relative to one another and can thus be detected more easily and reliably.
  • the connecting mechanism preferably comprises a number of hooks, preferably a number of resilient hooks, which are designed to give way essentially in the radial direction when the driven member is pushed axially onto the piston plug or the axial movement of the fluid container in the direction of the driven member, and then again radially spread to effect the locking against axial displacement of the output member relative to the piston plug by engaging in at least one undercut which is rigidly coupled to the piston plug and is preferably formed in one piece with the piston plug. Since flexible hooks can be produced in a simple and inexpensive manner, a simple and inexpensive connecting mechanism can be created according to the invention.
  • the undercut is preferably provided in the rear side of the piston plug facing the driven member, preferably in a cavity of the piston plug, and has a suitable profile which is matched to the type of elements producing the mechanical connection and their geometry.
  • the undercut of the connecting mechanism is preferably designed in the form of a helical thread, with a direction of rotation that corresponds to the direction of rotation in which the mechanical connection is to be released by twisting.
  • the helical thread preferably extends over several revolutions, the thread height being adapted to the shape of the elements that produce the mechanical connection.
  • the connection mechanism comprises a plurality of hooks which are arranged distributed on the outer circumferential surface and project radially therefrom, the hooks preferably also being arranged distributed along the longitudinal axis of the output member.
  • the hooks can be grouped into several rings, which are distributed at different positions along the longitudinal axis of the driven member and each comprise a plurality of hooks.
  • the hooks can also be arranged randomly with respect to their axial position and angular position.
  • the number of hooks is preferably so large that a plurality of the hooks each act as barbs and the plurality of barbs in the connected state press against the direction of advance of the piston plug against one or preferably several undercuts of the piston plug.
  • the output member has a stop against which, when the mechanical connection is established, the back of the piston stopper bears directly. It is advantageous that the piston stopper cannot move in the axial direction during the axial advancement towards the outlet of the fluid container, so that the fluid dose specified by the drive mechanism of the injection or infusion device can be administered precisely.
  • the aforementioned hooks or the one or more elements producing the mechanical connection are preferably arranged in the axial direction before the output member stops.
  • the hooks of the connecting mechanism are preferably essentially pivotable or bendable in the radial direction, and preferably without a greater application of force being required for this. In this way it is ensured that when the driven member is axially advanced toward the piston plug or the Insertion movement of the container essentially no driving force is exerted on the plunger stopper, so that no product is released unintentionally.
  • the hooks are designed as elastic elements and made of a suitable material, for example plastic or metal, of suitable strength.
  • Such elastic elements can be easily molded onto the front end of the output member, in particular integrally molded, or attached and make an additional and complex mechanism unnecessary, which would otherwise have to be provided in order to make the elastic elements pivotable or flexible. They are particularly preferably flexible and act as bending beams firmly clamped on one side.
  • the elastic elements of the use mechanism rotate at least slightly when the output member is rotated relative to the piston, i.e. they yield slightly elastically in the circumferential direction, so that the releasing of the connecting mechanism is only countered by a relatively small and thus negligible resistance force.
  • the hooks of the connecting mechanism are designed as resilient claws which are held at a front end of the output member.
  • the claws are designed so that they can engage in an opposite undercut in order to produce the mechanical connection between the output member and the piston plug.
  • the claws are preferably essentially radially pivotable between a blocking position in which a further pivoting of the claws is blocked and which serves to block the mechanical connection, and a release position in which the claws are pivoted radially back at least to such an extent that the output member in can be pushed towards or into the piston plug essentially without resistance.
  • the resilient claws are preferably held on guide and fastening elements in such a way that the claws are guided in a straight line against rotation during the pivoting movement and so are prevented from yielding in the circumferential direction.
  • the claws thus do not deflect during their engagement in the undercut by executing a rotary movement, so that the mechanical connection between the piston plug and the output member can be achieved in an even more stable manner.
  • the connecting mechanism preferably further comprises a resetting means which prestresses the resilient claws against one another and in a radially directed manner.
  • a resetting means which prestresses the resilient claws against one another and in a radially directed manner.
  • connection mechanism is designed in such a way that the claws can be adjusted radially in a motor-driven manner, for example with the aid of a spindle drive, in order to establish the mechanical connection between the output member and the piston plug.
  • the moment at which the mechanical connection is established can thus be specified more precisely.

  • the piston rod 4 pushes the piston stopper 6 towards the outlet 9.
  • the ampoule 7 is mounted exchangeably in the housing section 8. To replace the ampoule 7, the connection between the piston rod 4 and the piston plug 6 must be released. At the same time, with regard to an exact dosing of the product, there is a need for the connection between the piston plug 6 and the piston rod 4 to be blocked against axial displacement or displacement of the piston rod 4 relative to the piston plug 6.
  • connection between piston plug 6 and piston rod 4 can be released by relative rotation between piston plug 6 and piston rod 4, and the connection can be established by pushing the piston rod 4 towards or into the piston plug 6.

  • the procedure is as follows: The ampoule 7 is delivered in the rear end position shown in the upper part of FIG. 1, in which the rear side of the piston stopper 6 abuts or almost abuts the peripheral projection 10. After removing a used ampoule 7, the piston rod 4 is axially returned to a rear end position. The new ampoule 7 is then inserted into the housing section 8 until finally the front end of the piston rod 4 with the resilient Hook 13 is inserted into the piston plug 6. From the undercuts 15, the resilient hooks 13 are bent radially inward against their elastic restoring force.
  • connection shown can, as described, be brought about by axially advancing only the piston rod 4 or only by inserting the ampoule 7 or, although less preferred, by a superimposed movement. This should not rule out that a relative rotation between piston plug 6 and piston rod 4 may also be permissible when the piston rod 4 is advanced.
  • the piston plug 6 and the piston rod 4 cannot be pushed further against one another, since the piston plug 4 abuts the stop 10. Furthermore, the piston plug 6 cannot be advanced axially relative to the piston rod 4 because part of the resilient hook 13 is supported on the piston plug 6 against the direction of advance. Thus, the piston plug 6 is essentially rigidly connected to the piston rod 4.
  • the piston plug 6 To release the connection shown, the piston plug 6 must be rotated relative to the piston rod 4, specifically against the course of the screw thread 14, so that the resilient hooks 13 are unscrewed from the thread. For loosening, the hooks 13 form the counter thread for the thread 14 of the piston plug 6, which forms the rear cuts 15.
