The interference members 411 are installed to protrude downward and upward, respectively, on the front ceiling surface and the front floor surface of the open support groove 124. Here, the interference member 411 is compressed by an external force transmitted through the protruding member 121 introduced into the support groove 124, and when the protruding member 121 passes, the outer shape can be returned to the initial shape. It is preferable that it is formed of a rubber-like material having a predetermined elasticity.

When the operator inserts the drop container 20 into the insertion groove 123 of the support part 310, the protrusion member 121 provided on the upper part of the drop container 20 is inserted into the support groove 124 of the support part 310. At this time, the operator presses the protruding member 121 or the dropping container 20 to insert the protruding member 121 into the support groove 124, and when the protruding member 121 contacts the interference member 411, the operator The interference member 411 is compressed by the applied pressing force. Here, when the protruding member 121 passes through the interference member 411 and moves to the rear of the support groove 124, the interference member 411 returns to its initial shape by elasticity, and the returned interference member 411 protrudes. Interferes with the protruding member 121 to prevent the member 121 from being separated from the support groove 124.

Meanwhile, in the illustrated example, a structure in which the interference member 411 is formed on the ceiling surface and the floor surface of the support groove 124 is shown, but the separation prevention part 410 is not limited thereto, but the support groove 124 The interference member 411 may be installed only on one of the ceiling surface or the floor surface. Since the protrusion member 121 is prevented from being separated from the support groove 124 by the separation preventing portion 410 configured as described above, the main body 520 may be more firmly supported by the dropping container 20.

Meanwhile, in FIG. 15, a departure prevention unit 420 according to another embodiment of the present invention is shown.

Referring to the drawings, the separation prevention part 420 is a first contact magnet 421 installed on the protruding member 121, and the inside of the support groove 124 to be magnetically coupled to the first contact magnet 421 It has a second contact magnet 422 installed in.

The first contact magnet 421 is fixed to the rear surface of the protruding member 121, and a magnet having a predetermined magnetic property is applied. The second contact magnet 422 is installed inside the support groove 124 at a position spaced a predetermined depth from one side of the open support groove 124 to the other side, that is, to the rear with respect to the front end of the support groove 124 . The second contact magnet 422 is applied with a magnet having a predetermined magnetism so that when the first contact magnet 421 is in contact, it can be magnetically coupled to the first contact magnet 421.

Since the protruding member 121 inserted into the support groove 124 by the first contact magnet 421 and the second contact magnet 422 is constrained by the support part 310, even if an external impact is applied to the main body 520 The body 520 may be firmly supported on the dropping container 20.

Meanwhile, in FIG. 16, a fluid monitoring device 450 according to another embodiment of the present invention is shown.

Referring to the drawings, the infusion monitoring device 450 is installed on one side of the support groove 124 and detects the protruding member 121 introduced into the support groove 124, and the A vibrator 452 installed on the support part 310 on the main body 520 to apply vibration to the dropping container 20, and a control unit that controls the vibrator 452 based on detection information provided from the detection sensor 451 It further includes (453).

The detection sensor 451 is installed in the front of the open support groove 124 and detects the protruding member 121 that is drawn into the support groove 124. Since the detection sensor 451 is a sensor generally used to detect an object to be detected using laser or ultrasonic waves, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Although not shown in the drawing, the vibrator 452 includes an eccentric rotation shaft and a rotation motor installed on the eccentric rotation shaft to rotate the eccentric rotation shaft. Meanwhile, the vibrator 452 is not limited thereto, and any vibration generating device capable of generating vibration may be used.

The control unit 453 operates the vibrator 452 for a preset operation time from the point when the insertion of the protruding member 121 into the support groove 124 is sensed based on the sensing information provided from the detection sensor 451. . Here, the operating time is preferably 5 seconds to 10 seconds applied. The control unit 453 controls the vibrator 452 to apply vibration to the drop container 20 when the drop container 20 is coupled to the main body 520, so that the drop container 20 is inserted into the insertion groove of the support part 310. When inserted into 123, foreign matter adhered to the outer circumferential surface of the dropping container 20 may be removed, or a stagnant sap may flow inside the supply tube.

Meanwhile, in FIG. 17, a fluid monitoring device 460 according to another embodiment of the present invention is shown.

Referring to the drawings, the infusion monitoring device 460 absorbs a plurality of moisture fixed to the inner wall surface of the insertion groove 123 so as to absorb the moisture inside the insertion groove 123 into which the drop container 20 is inserted. A pad 461 is provided. The moisture absorption pads 461 are fixed to the inner wall surface of the insertion groove 123 to be spaced apart from each other. Here, the moisture absorbing pad 461 is a moisture absorbing means generally used in the related art to absorb moisture in a predetermined space, so a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Since the moisture in the insertion groove 123 is removed by the moisture absorption pad 461, it is possible to prevent an error in the operation of the infusion liquid sensing unit 130 due to condensation of moisture on the surface of the drop container 20.

Description of the presented embodiments is provided to enable any person skilled in the art to use or practice the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art, and the general principles defined herein can be applied to other embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention.
