A medical administration device according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the appearance of the medical administration device according to the first embodiment, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the medical administration device with the distal end cap removed, and FIG. 3 is the medical administration device. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the relationship between the distal end cap detection lever and the switch, and FIG. 5 is a circuit configuration of the medical administration device. The electric circuit block diagram for demonstrating is shown.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the present medical administration device is mainly composed of a main body portion 14 having a driving device and a holder portion 30 in a state where the distal end cap 8 is attached to the medicine holder 12. And it has the structure which can be isolate | separated from the state to which the front end cap 8 of the said medicine holder 12 of the said main-body part 14 was attached.

  When using this medical device, point the medicine holder 12 toward the ground, sandwich the part between the medicine holder 12 and the main body 14 between the thumb and forefinger, and lightly grip the medicine holder 12 with the remaining fingers. Hold. Next, at the time of administration, assuming that the liquid syringe 26, the injection needle 31 and the like are ready, from the state described above, the portion of the opening 9 of the tip cap 8 is applied to the site, and the index finger From the administration operation to the administration end operation, the injection switch 13 of the main body 14 is lightly pressed. By applying the opening 9 of the tip cap 8 to the site during administration, the administration device body can be administered while maintaining a stable state.

  At this time, the opening 9 of the tip cap 8 has an annular thin edge, and when the tip cap 8 is pressed against the administration site, the skin pressed against the edge sinks, and the inside of the edge And the outer skin will swell. For this reason, even if a user's hand shakes a little, an administration device cannot shift | deviate from an administration site | part and can administer more stably.

  Further, a liquid crystal display 17 is provided on the side surface of the main body 14, and functions as a display device for setting a dose, a state at the time of administration, and displaying a message when there is an abnormality.

  Reference numeral 10 denotes a chemical liquid confirmation window for confirming the chemical liquid provided in the tip cap, and is provided at two positions at 180 degrees in the diameter direction of the tip cap 8. From this, in the case of using the remaining amount of the chemical cartridge or a plurality of mixed type chemical solutions, the mixed and dissolved states can be confirmed.

  The tip cap opening 9 is a tip opening for the injection needle 31 to protrude or to be retracted when the needle is removed. Reference numeral 8a denotes a convex portion for easily fitting the distal end cap 8 to the drug holder 12, and the corresponding one is the concave portion 12a on the drug holder side in FIG. In addition, when the concave and convex portion comes to a position where the concave and convex portion is engaged by inserting the tip cap 8 into the medicine holder 12 at an arbitrary angle and then rotating it slightly forward or backward in both rotational directions. In addition, it can be naturally fitted.

  FIG. 2 is a view of the state in which the syringe main body 14 is removed from the state of FIG. The portion 12 b serves as a hook when the holder portion 30 is engaged with the main body portion 14. In FIG. 2, a drug solution for administration is filled in the drug solution syringe 26. The syringe holder 25 is for holding the chemical solution syringe 26. The slide case 24 is for holding and setting the syringe holder 25 inside. After the setting, the slide case 24 is integrated with the syringe holder 25 inside the medicine holder 12 and can slide in either the longitudinal direction of the holder portion 30. It is the slide case provided as follows. The injection needle 31 is set in the opening of the drug solution syringe 26 by screwing.

  The reason why the slide case 24 is slidable is that the movement of the slide case 24 itself is an operation of inserting the injection needle 31 into the skin (not shown) or an operation of removing the injection needle 31 from the skin. This is because no matter what method is used as the driving method 24, it is necessary when the needle insertion and withdrawal operations are performed automatically.

  In FIG. 2, when the tip cap 8 is fitted into the medicine holder 12, 16 c that is the end of the tip cap detection lever 16 comes into contact with the fitting portion of the tip cap 8, and the tip cap detection lever 16 (FIG. 4). Is moved to the administration device main body 14 side. At this time, the other end portions 16a and 16b of the tip cap detection lever 16 project from the drug holder hook portion 12b of the drug holder 12 by the distance moved by the end portion 16c. This is the operation of the tip cap detection lever 16 when the tip cap 8 is attached to the medicine holder 12.

  FIG. 3 shows these operations in order to explain them in more detail. FIG. 3 shows a state where the medicine holder 12 is further removed from the state of FIG. In FIG. 3, a spring 11 is a spring for returning the tip cap detection lever 16 to the original position when the tip cap 8 is removed from the medicine holder 12. The spring 11 is set between the recesses 16e and 16f, which are part of the tip cap detection lever 16 of FIG.

  Further, as shown in the figure, the tip cap detection lever 16 is slidable in both the longitudinal directions of the holder portion 30 between the guide grooves 24 a provided on both side surfaces of the slide case 24 and the inside of the medicine holder 12. It is provided as follows.

  Further, the tip cap detection lever 16 has an integrated shape connected at a portion 16d in order to increase the strength of 16a, 16b and further 16c and to ensure the operation at the time of sliding.

  FIG. 4 is a view for explaining the role of the tip cap detection lever 16 in more detail. A holder detection switch 28 is provided behind 16a or 16b at the rear of the tip cap detection lever 16. The tip cap detection lever 16, the spring 11, and the holder switch 28 constitute a detection unit.

  When the tip cap 8 is attached to the medicine holder 12, the tip cap detection lever 16c moves to the holder switch 28 side, and the knob 28a of the holder switch 28 behind the tip cap detection lever rear portion 16a is moved by the tip cap detection lever rear portion 16a. Pressed. The holder switch 28 exists in the main body 14 and is connected to the microprocessor 32 as shown in FIG. 5 and is transmitted to the microprocessor 32 as a signal.

  The microprocessor 32 incorporates a program for enabling the injection switch 13 and the motor driver 33 only when a switch ON signal is received from the holder switch 28 in advance. On the contrary, when a switch OFF signal is received from the switch SW28, a program is incorporated so as to send a signal to stop the operation to the injection switch SW13 and the motor driver 33.

  As a result, the injection switch SW13 cannot be operated in a state where the distal end cap 8 is not attached to the medicine holder 12 as a result. That is, when the tip cap 8 is not attached to the medicine holder 12, the medicine extrusion piston (not shown) does not protrude.

  Further, even when the distal end cap 8 is attached to the medicine holder 12 and separated from the syringe main body 14 of FIG. 1, the holder switch 28 does not operate and is provided in the syringe main body 14 from the above-described configuration. The injected injection switch 13 becomes inoperable.

  In general, in medical administration devices used at home, the type of drug solution to be administered to the patient is determined by the patient, and the amount of the drug solution is often determined by the body weight or the like. . In such a case, the dose of each time taking into consideration the total amount of the chemical cartridge and the air bleed amount is input to the microprocessor 32 in advance, and the chemical solution becomes zero, or the chemical cartridge is replaced as a result of calculation. If it is determined that it is necessary, the chemical liquid cartridge can be obtained by programming the microprocessor 32 to instruct the motor driver 33 to reversely rotate the motor M1 or to instruct the motor driver 35 to reversely rotate the motor M2. When exchanging the liquid, the chemical solution extruding piston (not shown) is automatically retracted. Therefore, the user does not have to press the switch for retracting the chemical solution extruding piston (not shown). . Further, it is not necessary to provide a switch for the medical administration device itself.

  In FIG. 5, a sensor 34 detects the rotational operation of the motors M1 and M2, a buzzer generates a warning sound, a completion sound, etc., or a battery drives an electric circuit, a motor, and the like. The unit 17 is provided for displaying a message at the time of dose setting or other operations, and is all connected to the microprocessor 32.

  In the medical administration device according to the present invention, since the contact surface of the tip cap with the administration site is an annular edge, a stable administration operation can be performed and the administration operation can be performed stably. This is useful for medical administration devices that can be used.
