FIG. 7 shows an example of a cross-sectional structure taken along line AA of the chemical liquid flow rate setting unit 900 shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 7, the setting dial 901 is housed and fixed in the housing portion 906, but the distal end portion of the setting dial 901 projects from the distal end portion of the housing portion 906 by a projection amount 608. As described above, since the distal end portion of the setting dial 901 protrudes, a medical worker can easily rotate the touching dial 901 by touching the setting dial 901 compared to the case where the setting dial 901 is entirely contained in the housing portion 906. .
As shown in FIG. 7, the shaft portion 907 is fitted in the cylindrical portion 901T of the setting dial 901, and the setting dial 901 can be rotated around the center CL. The permanent magnet 902 is fixed in the internal space 901S of the setting dial 901. Between the setting dial 901 and the inner bottom portion 906N of the accommodating portion 906, seal materials 903 and 904 for splash-proofing are disposed.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the Hall IC unit 610 is disposed on the inner bottom portion 906 </ b> N of the housing portion 906. As shown in FIG. 6, the Hall IC unit 610 has two Hall ICs (Hall elements) 611 and 612 and is disposed at a position corresponding to the gap between the magnetic members 905.
The two Hall ICs 611 and 612 of the permanent magnet 902 and the Hall IC unit 610 shown in FIG. 6 constitute a rotation detection unit 995 that detects the rotation speed and rotation direction of the setting dial. When the medical staff rotates the setting dial 901, the Hall ICs 611 and 612, which are a pair of magnetic detection sensors of the rotation detection unit 995, detect changes in the magnetic force of the permanent magnet 902, and will be described later. Two different sensor output waveforms H1 and H2 shown in FIG. These sensor output waveforms H1 and H2 are counted by the counter circuit of the control unit 100 shown in FIG. 4, so that the rotation speed and rotation direction of the setting dial 901 can be detected with a simple structure.

As shown in FIG. 7, one end of the spring 789 is held on the inner surface 901 </ b> Q of the setting dial 901, and the other end of the spring 789 is held on the side surface portion 899. The spring 789 is, for example, a coil spring, and is disposed in the cylindrical member 791 on the side surface portion 899 side, but is disposed outside the cylindrical portion 901T of the setting dial 901.
A ring-shaped contact member 777 is fixed to the inner surface side of the permanent magnet 902 of the setting dial 910. An on / off operation type contact switch 766 is fixed to the side surface portion 899 side. The contact switch 766 is an example of a setting dial pressing operation detector, and includes a pressing member 766P. The contact switch 766 is electrically connected to the control unit 100. The contact switch 766 is preferably placed covered with, for example, a rubber cover for a splash-proof treatment.
Accordingly, when the medical staff pushes the setting dial 901 against the force of the spring 789 in the PS direction (vertical direction, parallel to the X direction), the contact member 777 pushes the push member 766P of the contact switch 766 to X2. Since the switch can be pushed in the direction, an ON signal 766 </ b> S can be sent from the contact switch 766 to the control unit 100. In order to allow the medical staff to push the setting dial 901 in the PS direction against the force of the spring 789, the tip of the shaft portion 907, the bottom of the cylindrical portion 901T of the setting dial 901, A gap 907M is provided between them.

Next, the permanent magnet 902, the magnetic member 905, and the Hall IC unit 610 shown in FIG. 6 will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 8A shows examples of shapes of the permanent magnet 902 and the magnetic member 905. 8B shows an example of the shape of each Hall IC 611, 612 of the Hall IC unit 610, and FIG. 8C shows the magnetic member 905 and the Hall IC unit 610 arranged on the inner bottom 906N of the housing portion 906. Show.
As shown in FIG. 8A, the disc-shaped permanent magnet 902 has, for example, 16 divided S poles and N poles alternately magnetized at an angle of 22.5 degrees. On the other hand, the magnetic member 905 has a plurality of radially formed convex portions 905A, the angle formed by each convex portion 905A and the concave portion 905B is 22.5 degrees, and the angle of the convex portion 905A is 13 degrees. Degree.

A magnetic member 905 shown in FIG. 8A has the same number of convex portions 905A as the number of S poles and N poles of the permanent magnet 902, or a smaller number. As shown in FIG. 6, such a magnetic member 905 is disposed on the inner bottom portion 906 </ b> N of the accommodating portion 906, so that the permanent magnet 902 of the setting dial 901 is magnetically attracted, and the setting dial 901 is accommodated in the accommodating portion. 906 is held so as not to fall out of the inside. In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, the magnetic member 905 is disposed on the inner bottom portion 906 </ b> N of the accommodating portion 906, so that when the setting dial 901 is rotated about the shaft portion 907, the medical engagement to be operated is performed. A person can obtain an appropriate feeling of click resistance when the setting dial 901 is rotated.
Hall ICs 611 and 612 shown in FIG. 8B have three terminal portions TR1, TR2, and TR3 and a sensor portion TS, and the length from the terminal portion TR1 to the terminal portion TR2 is, for example, 2.8 mm.
In FIG. 8C, the magnetic member 905 is fixed to the inner bottom portion 906N of the housing portion 906 with the shaft portion 907 as the center. The Hall IC unit 610 is fixed to a vacant part of the magnetic member 905 and is disposed at the same distance from each Hall IC 611 and 612 and the center CL of the shaft portion 907.

9A shows sensor output waveforms H1 and H2 output from the Hall IC 611 (sensor A) and the Hall IC 612 (sensor B), and FIG. 9B shows an angle display in the permanent magnet 902. . As described above, when a medical worker rotates the setting dial 901 in FIG. 6, the Hall ICs 611 and 612 that are a pair of magnetic detection sensors of the detection unit 995 detect a change in magnetic force of the permanent magnet 902. , Two different sensor output waveforms H1 and H2 shown in FIG. 9A are generated. These sensor output waveforms H1 and H2 are counted by the counter circuit 109 of the control unit 100 shown in FIG. 4 so that the rotation speed and rotation direction of the setting dial 901 can be detected.
As shown in FIGS. 9B and 8A, the permanent magnet 902 is divided into 16 parts, but the sensor output waveforms H1 and H2 shown in FIG. 9A have one pole N pole or one pole. The S pole is further shifted by 2 (11.25 degrees).

As shown in FIG. 9B, the candidates for the positional relationship (θ) of the Hall ICs 611 and 612 are 45n + 11.25 degrees = 11.25 degrees, 56.25 degrees, 101.25 degrees, 146.25 degrees ( 0 degrees ≦ θ ≦ 180 degrees).
In this case, in the case of 11.25 degrees, in order to prevent the Hall ICs 611 and 612 from colliding with each other, an interval SX = 15 * sin (5.625 °) = 1 as shown in FIG. 9B. .47 mm. As shown in FIG. 8B, since there is only a margin of 0.7 mm with respect to the outer dimension of 1.4 mm of the Hall ICs 611 and 612, 11.25 degrees cannot be used. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 8C, the positional relationship (θ) = 56.25 degrees, 101.25 degrees, and 146.25 degrees can be selected. As shown in FIG. 8C, the Hall ICs 611 and 612 are selected. The positional relationship (θ) = 56.25 degrees is adopted as the optimum.

Next, the usage example of the syringe pump 1 mentioned above is demonstrated.
Referring to FIG. 2, when a medical worker places, for example, the syringe 200 in close contact with the syringe main body holding portion 8D of the housing portion 8, a part of the main body flange 209 is positioned on the right side surface of the syringe main body holding portion 8D shown in FIG. It is inserted between the part 8V and the main body flange gripping part 500. Thereafter, the medical staff operates the clamp 5 shown in FIG. 2 to fix the syringe main body 201 in close contact with the syringe main body holding portion 8 </ b> D of the housing portion 8 with the clamp 5. Thereby, the syringe 200 does not move.
On the other hand, the medical staff pushes down the operation lever 83 of the slider 10 shown in FIG. 5 so that a pair of gripping members (not shown) grips the pusher flange 205.
The potentiometer 122 as a sensor for the amount of movement of the clamp 5 shown in FIG. 4 detects the amount of movement of the clamp 5 in a state in which the syringe body 201 is clamped by the clamp 5, thereby determining which capacity of the syringe body 201 is clamped. The control unit 100 is notified of whether or not it is securely clamped by 5.

When the medical solution in the syringe main body 201 of the syringe 200 shown in FIG. 2 is sent, the medical staff will explain the setting dial 901 of the chemical solution flow rate setting unit 900 shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 with a finger. By performing the rotation operation and the pressing operation as described above, the flow rate of the chemical solution can be determined after the flow rate of the chemical solution is set.
FIG. 10A shows an operation example of the setting dial in the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 10B shows an operation example of the setting dial in another embodiment of the present invention.
First, referring to FIG. 10 (A), in step SR1, a medical worker first rotates the setting dial 901 shown in FIG. In this case, in step SR2, the medical worker rotates the setting dial 901 and further moves the setting dial 901 in the PS direction (X2 direction) perpendicular to the rotation direction of the setting dial 901. By pressing against the force, the contact member 777 can push the push member 766P of the contact switch 766 in the X2 direction, and therefore, the contact switch 766 can send an ON signal 766S to the control unit 100. it can. Thereby, in step SR3, the control part 100 shown in FIG. 7 determines the flow volume of a chemical | medical solution by receiving the ON signal 766S.

  As described above, after the medical staff rotates the setting dial 901 until the flow rate of the chemical solution reaches a predetermined value and sets the flow rate of the chemical solution in the control unit 100, the push button 910 is simply pushed in the PS direction. The flow rate of the chemical solution can be reliably determined. Therefore, unlike the prior art, the troublesome operation of confirming the set value of the chemical solution by pressing another confirmation switch arranged on the operation panel surface away from the setting dial is unnecessary.

In this way, after the medical worker operates the setting dial to set the chemical flow rate, the work of confirming the chemical flow rate can be surely performed, and a person other than the medical worker such as a patient cannot operate. be able to. In other words, after setting the chemical flow rate by rotating the setting dial, the chemical flow rate cannot be confirmed unless the setting dial is pressed. The safety of the setting operation of the chemical liquid flow rate is enhanced so that no one other than the person can operate.
Thereafter, when the control unit 100 in FIG. 4 determines that the syringe 200 has been securely clamped, the motor 133 of the syringe pusher driving unit 7 is driven by the command of the control unit 100 to rotate the feed screw 135 to slide the slider 10. Is moved in the T direction. The slider 10 presses the syringe pusher 202 in the X2 direction (T direction), and accurately sends the drug solution in the syringe main body 201 shown in FIG. 2 to the patient P through the tube 203 via the indwelling needle 204. To do.

Another embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 10B will be described. In another embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 10B, the chemical liquid flow rate setting unit 900 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 is used.
Referring to FIG. 10B, in step SR11, the medical staff first pushes the setting dial 901 shown in FIG. 7 in the vertical direction (PS direction) against the force of the spring 789, thereby bringing the contact member into contact. Since 777 can push the push member 766P of the contact switch 766 in the X2 direction, the contact switch 766 can send an ON signal 766S to the control unit 100. Thereby, the control part 100 will be in the state which can set the flow volume of a chemical | medical solution for the first time.
Next, in step SR12, the medical worker rotates the setting dial 901 shown in FIG. 7 to set the flow rate of the chemical solution. In step SR13, the contact dial 901 is pressed against the rotation direction of the setting dial 901 in the direction perpendicular to the rotation direction of the setting dial 901 (X2 direction) against the force of the spring 789, so that the contact member 777 is a pressing member of the contact switch 766. Since 766P can be pushed in the X2 direction, an ON signal 766S can be sent from the contact switch 766 to the control unit 100. Thereby, in step SR14, the control part 100 shown in FIG. 7 determines the flow volume of a chemical | medical solution by receiving the ON signal 766S.

Therefore, unlike the prior art, the troublesome operation of confirming the set value of the chemical solution by pressing another confirmation switch arranged on the operation panel surface away from the setting dial is unnecessary. In addition, since the setting and determination of the flow rate of the chemical solution using the setting dial cannot be performed unless the setting dial 901 is pressed while rotating the setting dial 901, a person other than a medical staff such as a patient can set the flow rate. The confirmation operation cannot be easily performed.
For this reason, the drug flow rate can be set by rotating the setting dial only after the setting dial pressing operation detection unit detects that the setting dial has been pressed, and then the drug flow rate can be set. After setting the chemical flow rate, the chemical flow rate cannot be confirmed unless the setting dial is pressed, so that the chemical flow rate can be confirmed reliably, and it cannot be operated by anyone other than medical personnel such as patients. Therefore, the safety of setting the chemical flow rate is improved.
Thereafter, when the control unit 100 in FIG. 4 determines that the syringe 200 has been securely clamped, the motor 133 of the syringe pusher driving unit 7 is driven by the command of the control unit 100 to rotate the feed screw 135 to slide the slider 10. Is moved in the T direction. The slider 10 presses the syringe pusher 202 in the X2 direction (T direction), and accurately sends the drug solution in the syringe main body 201 shown in FIG. 2 to the patient P through the tube 203 via the indwelling needle 204. To do.

Another embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 11 will be described. In another embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 11, the chemical flow rate setting unit 900 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 is used.
Referring to FIG. 11, in step SR21, the medical staff once pushes the setting dial 901 shown in FIG. 7 in the vertical direction (PS direction) against the force of the spring 789 so that the contact member 777 is moved. Since the pressing member 766P of the contact switch 766 can be pressed in the X2 direction, an ON signal 766S can be sent from the contact switch 766 to the control unit 100. Thereby, the control part 100 can cancel | release the lock state of the input blocking of the flow volume of a chemical | medical solution.

Next, in Step SR22, immediately after releasing the lock state of the chemical solution flow rate input blocking in the control unit 100, the medical worker sets the flow rate of the chemical solution by rotating the setting dial 901 shown in FIG. can do. In other words, the medical worker can set the flow rate of the chemical liquid only by the rotation operation of the setting dial immediately after the locked state of the input blocking of the chemical liquid flow rate in the control unit 100 is released. For this reason, a person other than the medical staff cannot set the flow rate of the chemical solution, and the use safety can be improved.
In step SR23, the contact member 777 can push the push member 766P of the contact switch 766 in the X2 direction by pushing the setting dial 901 in the vertical direction (PS direction) against the force of the spring 789. Therefore, the contact switch 766 can send an ON signal 766S to the control unit 100. Thereby, in step SR24, the control part 100 shown in FIG. 7 determines the flow volume of a chemical | medical solution by receiving the ON signal 766S.

  After the medical staff rotates the setting dial 901 until the flow rate of the chemical solution reaches a predetermined value, the flow rate of the chemical solution can be determined simply by pressing the setting dial 901. Therefore, unlike the prior art, the troublesome operation of confirming the set value of the chemical solution by pressing another confirmation switch arranged on the operation panel surface away from the setting dial is unnecessary. In addition, since the setting and determination of the chemical flow rate by the setting dial cannot be performed unless the setting dial 901 is pressed after the setting dial 901 is rotated, a person other than a medical staff such as a patient can set the flow rate. The confirmation operation cannot be easily performed. After the medical staff sets the chemical flow rate by rotating the setting dial, the determination of the chemical flow rate can be easily and reliably performed.

  Thereafter, when the control unit 100 in FIG. 4 determines that the syringe 200 has been securely clamped, the motor 133 of the syringe pusher driving unit 7 is driven by the command of the control unit 100 to rotate the feed screw 135 to slide the slider 10. Is moved in the T direction. The slider 10 presses the syringe pusher 202 in the X2 direction (T direction), and accurately sends the drug solution in the syringe main body 201 shown in FIG. 2 to the patient P through the tube 203 via the indwelling needle 204. To do.

Next, still another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
The chemical flow rate setting unit 900A in still another embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 12 has substantially the same structure as the chemical flow rate setting unit 900 in the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. The same symbols are used for the parts. The chemical flow rate setting unit 900A shown in FIG. 12 is different from the chemical flow rate setting unit 900 shown in FIG. 7 in that a displacement amount detector 966 that detects a displacement amount (movement amount) of the setting dial 901 in the X2 direction. 7 instead of the contact switch 766 shown in FIG.
This displacement amount detector 966 also functions as a push dial detection unit such as a contact switch 766 shown in FIG. 7, and the setting dial 901 is used by the medical staff to resist the force of the spring 789. When pressed in the direction, the displacement (movement amount) of the setting dial 901 in the PS direction can be detected. The displacement detector 966 can employ, for example, a potentiometer, but is not particularly limited.
When the medical staff pushes the setting dial 901 in the PS direction against the force of the spring 789, an ON signal 966S indicating that the setting dial 901 has been pushed and a displacement amount (movement amount) of the setting dial 901 are shown. A signal 966T is sent to the control unit 100.

In the examples of FIGS. 13A and 13B, the vertical axis indicates the setting speed for setting the flow rate of the chemical solution, and the horizontal axis indicates the amount of displacement caused by pressing the setting dial 901 in the PS direction. The control unit 100 obtains an amount of displacement of the setting dial 901 in the PS direction based on a signal 966T indicating the displacement (movement amount) of the setting dial 901.
For this reason, the control unit 100 increases the setting speed of the chemical flow rate setting more rapidly than the normal setting speed as shown in FIG. 13A, for example, according to the amount of the setting dial 901 displaced in the PS direction. Can be made.
Alternatively, as necessary, the control unit 100 changes the set flow rate of the chemical solution to the normal set speed as shown in FIG. 13B, for example, according to the amount of the setting dial 901 displaced in the PS direction. It can be increased more slowly.

Next, FIGS. 14 and 15 show an infusion pump 1001 which is another example of the medical pump of the present invention.
The infusion pump 1001 is provided with a chemical flow rate setting unit 1900 having the same structure as the chemical liquid flow rate setting unit 900 shown in FIG. 7 (or the chemical liquid flow rate setting unit 900A shown in FIG. 12). This chemical flow rate setting unit 1900 has the same structure as the chemical flow rate setting unit 900 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, or the same structure as the chemical flow rate setting unit 900A shown in FIG. The same function can be demonstrated according to. The syringe pump 1 and the infusion pump 1001 have a common appearance design, and in particular, the outer shape and size of the main body cover 2 and the arrangement and shape of the display unit 3 and the feeding panel unit 4 of the main body cover 2 are common. It has become.
The main body cover 1002 of the infusion pump 1001 shown in FIG. 14 and the main body cover 2 of the syringe pump 1 shown in FIG. 1 have substantially the same shape in order to make the shapes common. For this reason, when the part in the infusion pump 1001 shown in FIG. 14 and FIG. 15 is substantially the same as the part in the syringe pump 1 shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. Let's write the code of the stand.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a preferred embodiment of the infusion pump of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the infusion pump shown in FIG. 1 as viewed from the W direction.

The infusion pump 1001 includes a main body cover 1002, a handle 2T, and a chemical flow rate setting unit 1900. The reason why the main body cover 1002 has the splash-proof treatment structure is that the medicine 1171 in the medicine bag 1170 disposed above may spill out or the disinfecting liquid used in the vicinity may scatter and adhere. is there.

As shown in FIG. 14, the display unit 3 and the operation panel unit 4 are arranged on the upper portion 1002 </ b> A of the main body cover 1002. The display unit 3 is disposed at the upper left position of the upper portion 1002A of the main body cover 1002 and above the opening / closing cover 1005. The upper portion 1002A of the main body cover 2 is the upper half portion of the main body cover 1002. A lower portion 1002B of the main body cover 1002 is a lower half portion of the main body cover 1002.
The operation panel unit 4 is arranged on the right side of the display unit 3 in the upper portion 1002A of the main body cover 1002. The operation panel unit 4 includes, for example, a pilot lamp 4A, a fast-forward switch button 4B, and a start button in the illustrated example. A switch button 4C, a stop switch button 4D, a menu selection button 4E, and the like are arranged.

As shown in FIGS. 14B and 15, an opening / closing cover 1005 as a lid member is provided on the lower portion 1002B of the main body cover 1002 so as to be openable / closable in the R direction around the rotation shaft 1005A. The opening / closing cover 1005 is a lid formed long along the X direction.

By the way, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications and changes can be made to the present invention, and various modifications can be made within the scope described in the claims.
In the syringe pump 1 as a medical pump according to the embodiment of the present invention, for example, the syringes 200, 300, and 400 that store three kinds of sizes of the liquid medicine shown in FIG. Not limited to this, two types or four or more types of syringes can be set.
By setting the color of the setting dial 901 in each embodiment of the present invention to be different from the color of the main body cover 2, the position of the setting dial 901 can be clearly and visually recognized. As an example, the color of the setting dial 901 is, for example, green, and the main body cover 2 is, for example, cream.
Further, as an embodiment of the present invention, for example, a motor is arranged on the main body side of the medical pump, and by rotating the output shaft of this motor, the pressing member is pressed against the setting dial side, thereby reducing the rotational torque of the setting dial. It may be variable. Thereby, for example, when a medical worker rotates the setting dial to set the setting value, the setting dial rotates inadvertently in the rotation direction so that the rotating torque of the setting dial becomes heavy in the vicinity of the setting value. To avoid this, the setting dial should be applied only in the pressing direction. By doing so, it is possible to prevent an unintended change in the flow rate during the definite operation.
