- FIG. l shows a schematic representation of an injection cartridge l according to the invention, which illustrates the essential components of the injection cartridge l.
- the injection cartridge 1 has a propellant charge chamber 3 with propellant charge powder 4 at a rear end toi in the delivery direction of the injection liquid A of the injection cartridge 1 . This is followed in dispensing direction A by an applicator 5 that can be moved in dispensing direction A and that, when the propellant charge powder 4 is ignited to dispense the injection liquid in Delivery direction A can be accelerated.
- a liquid chamber 7 with the liquid to be injected or administered adjoins the applicator 5 in the dispensing direction A.
- the injection cartridge 1 comprises a primer cap 19 (not shown in FIG. 1) at the rear end 101 for igniting the propellant charge powder 4, which is arranged in front of the propellant charge chamber 3 in the delivery direction A.
- the propellant charge chamber 3, the applicator 5, the liquid chamber 7 and the percussion cap 19 are accommodated in a housing 9 which delimits a cartridge chamber 10.

- the housing 9 is divided in two and consists of a base piece 15 for accommodating the primer cap 19 and a sleeve portion 17 fastened gas-tight to the base piece 15 for accommodating the injection liquid or the liquid chamber 7 and the applicator 5 of the housing 9, a simple assembly of the injection cartridge 1 is possible.
- a gas-tight connection of the two housing parts, ie the base piece 15 and the sleeve part 17, can also prevent combustion gases from escaping from the cartridge chamber 10 into the environment when the injection cartridge 1 is used.
- FIG. 2 shows a detailed sectional view of an injection cartridge 1 according to the invention, on the basis of which the internal structure, the mode of operation and the advantages of an injection cartridge 1 according to the invention and the individual components of the injection cartridge 1 are explained in detail below.
- FIG. 2 shows the primer cap 19 on the rear end 101 of the injection cartridge 1 in the dispensing direction A. All the components required to ignite the propellant charge are integrated in the primer cap 19 .
- the percussion cap 19 can, for example, be a mechanical percussion cap, that is to say it can be activated by a mechanical application of force, for example via a firing pin, analogous to firearms.
- the percussion cap 19 can also be an electric percussion cap or an electromechanical percussion cap.
- the primer cap 19 the propellant charge chamber 3, the applicator 5 and the liquid chamber 7 are surrounded by a two-part housing 9 which delimits a cartridge chamber 10 in which the components are accommodated.
- the injection nozzle 11 is also located within the housing 9 in the cartridge space 10 and represents a front closure of the injection cartridge 1.
- the housing 9 and thus the injection cartridge 1 has a cylindrical shape and, in the embodiment in FIG. 2, has an outside diameter in the range of approximately 20 mm and a length in the range of approximately 35 mm.
- the housing 9 consists of a base part 15 and a sleeve part 17.
- the sleeve part 17 is arranged at the front in the dispensing direction A in the injection cartridge 1 and is elongate and hollow-cylindrical.
- the sleeve part 17 serves as a guide for the applicator 5 and delimits the liquid chamber 7.
- the bottom piece 15 is arranged on the back in the injection cartridge 1 in the dispensing direction A.
- the base piece 15 comprises a cylindrical section at the rear in the dispensing direction A and an adjoining hollow-cylindrical section 21 which serves as a receptacle for the sleeve part 17 .
- the bottom piece 15 also has a rear, cylindrical receptacle or recess 27 for the percussion cap 19 in the cylindrical section.
- the percussion cap receptacle 27 and the percussion cap 19 are dimensioned such that the percussion cap 19 is completely housed in the percussion cap receptacle 27 and is arranged flush with the rear surface 101 of the housing 9 or the base piece 15 .
- the propellant charge chamber 3 is delimited by the base piece 15 and the sleeve part 17 together and thus extends both through the base piece 15 and through the sleeve part 17.
- the base piece 15 or the sleeve receptacle 21 of the base piece 15 delimits the in Delivery direction A rear part of the propellant charge chamber 3.
- the front part of the propellant charge chamber 3 is limited by the sleeve part 17 accordingly.
- the bottom piece 15 surrounds the sleeve part 17 in sections on the outside.
- the sleeve part 17 is therefore arranged in sections inside the base piece 15 .
- the sleeve part 17 is received by the hollow-cylindrical sleeve receptacle 21 of the base piece and fastened to the base piece.
- the sleeve receptacle 21 of the base part 15 and the sleeve part 17 each have an axial stop 23 for the respective other component, which defines an assembly end position and limits a relative movement of the two housing parts to one another. In this way, incorrect assembly of the injection cartridge 1 can be prevented.
- the sleeve receptacle 21 and the sleeve part 17 also have a mounting surface 25 each facing the other component, via which the sleeve receptacle 21 and the sleeve part 17 are connected to one another in a positive and non-positive manner and in a gas-tight manner.
- the mounting surface 25 of the sleeve receptacle 21 has an internal thread and the mounting surface 25 of the sleeve part 17 has a matching external thread in order to screw the sleeve part 17 into the base piece 15 and in this way to enable simple assembly of the injection cartridge 1.
- the housing 9 has a continuous channel from the rear end 101 of the injection cartridge 1 or from the rear receptacle 27 for the primer cap 19 to the front end 103 of the injection cartridge 1 or to the front dispensing openings, which pass through the Capillary bores 13 are formed on the injection nozzle 11 on.
- the continuous channel is formed in dispensing direction A by the primer cap receptacle 27, an ignition bore 29, the cartridge chamber 10 or the propellant charge chamber 3 and the liquid chamber 7, and the capillary bores 13 on the injection nozzle 11. All of the components of the injection cartridge 1 are functionally connected to one another via this continuous channel. For this purpose, the components are arranged in a row one behind the other.
- the primer cap 19 is first ignited via an ignition device, which is not shown in FIGS.
- the ignition device can, for example, comprise a mechanical igniter such as a firing pin and/or an electronic igniter such as an electrical circuit.
- the primer cap 19 is activated or ignited, the propellant charge powder in the propellant charge chamber 3 is ignited.
- a pyrotechnical gas expansion occurs in the propellant charge chamber 3 via the ignition bore 29, which connects the primer cap holder 27 to the propellant charge chamber 3.
- the ignition bore hole 29 has a smaller diameter than the primer cap holder 27 in FIG 27 to be able to assemble.
- the primer cap 19 and the propellant charge powder 4 can be understood as a type of gas pressure generator 20 which provides the necessary energy, in particular the necessary gas pressure, in order to deliver injection liquid. It is also conceivable to generate the necessary gas pressure in a way other than by means of a percussion cap 19 .
- the primer cap 19 is therefore a preferred embodiment of the gas pressure generator 20.
- the propellant charge chamber 3 and the applicator 5 arranged behind it in the dispensing direction A delimit a gas pressure chamber 31 which forms a part of the propellant charge chamber 3 in which no propellant charge powder 4 is located.
- the propellant charge powder 4 is therefore not in direct contact with a gas pressure receiving surface 33 of the applicator 5 oriented in the direction of the propellant charge chamber 3 .
- the gas pressure chamber 31 thus provides a sufficiently large free space for building up a gas pressure for accelerating the applicator 5 . It can be seen in FIG. 2 that the gas pressure chamber 31 forms only a small part of the propellant charge chamber 3 .
- the ratio of the gas pressure chamber 31 to the propellant charge chamber 3 can be in the range from 1:10 to 1:2, in the range from 1:5 to 1:1.25 or about 1.5:5.
- the energy generated by the gas pressure generator 20 and the gas pressure built up by the gas pressure chamber 31 accelerates the applicator 5 in the dispensing direction A, which means that the injection liquid is pressed or dispensed out of the injection cartridge 1 through the capillary bores 13 of the injection nozzle 11.
- the applicator 5 is designed as an essentially cylindrical, rigid piston.
- FIG. 2 clearly shows that the applicator 5 divides the cartridge chamber 10 into the propellant charge chamber 3 for the propellant charge powder 4 and the liquid chamber 7 for the injection liquid and separates the two chambers from one another.
- the applicator 5 has sliding support surfaces 35 on the outside for sliding along the inner walls 36 of the sleeve part 17 .
- the applicator 5 is sealed gas-tight and airtight relative to the sleeve part 17 with two annular seals 37 which are arranged in two circumferential sealing grooves 39 provided for this purpose on the applicator 5 .
- the entire gas pressure generated by the gas pressure generator 20 can be converted into a movement of the applicator 5 because it cannot escape through the gas-tight seal of the applicator 5 .
- the applicator 5 also has a gas pressure output surface 41 opposite the gas pressure receiving surface 33, which is oriented in the direction of the liquid chamber 7 and is in direct contact with the injection liquid. It can also be seen in FIG. 2 that the liquid chamber 7 is completely filled with injection liquid. As a result, injection liquid is already being released through the capillary bores 13 at the injection nozzle 11 as soon as the acceleration of the applicator 5 in the release direction A begins.
- the gas pressure absorption surface 33 on the propellant charge chamber side and the gas pressure output surface 41 on the liquid chamber side of the applicator 5 are of the same dimensions and are oriented parallel to one another.
- the housing 9 and the injection nozzle 11 each have a Axial stop 14 through which the injection nozzle 11 is held in the housing 9. At the front end 103, the injection nozzle 11 terminates flush with the housing 9 or with the front end 103 of the injection cartridge 1 in the embodiment in FIG.
