In addition, a coupling groove 13 into which the protective cap 30 is coupled is formed on the upper inner side of the vial coupling portion 11, and a vial ( A plurality of vertical support protrusions 14 are formed to support 200).

In addition, the socket coupling portion 12 is formed with two vertical guide holes 16 facing each other, and a port socket 20 is provided in the middle of the circumferential surface between the two guide holes 16. A guiding expansion portion 15 is formed in each. That is, the virtual straight line connecting the two guide holes 16 and the virtual straight line connecting the two enlarged diameter portions 15 are orthogonal.

In addition, a needle coupling portion 18 on which the communication member 50 is installed is formed at the center of the separating wall 17 of the body 10, and is located at a certain distance from the needle coupling portion 18 in the horizontal direction. Fixing portions 19 for fixing the communication member 50 are arranged to face each other.

The port socket 20 is formed by cutting a portion of the body 21 to elastically support the barrel-shaped body 21 and the port plug 115, and the port plug 115 is caught on the upper inner side. An elastic locking portion (23) provided with a jaw (26) and a pair of protrusions ( 25), an expansion portion 22 extending horizontally from the bottom of the body 21, a pressing portion 24 extending downward from the bottom of the elastic locking portion 23, and the separating wall 17. It has a pair of one-touch locking protrusions 27 provided on the upper end of the body 21 so as to hang over the separating wall 17 after penetrating the formed hole 17'. Here, an extension 22, a protrusion 25, and a one-touch locking protrusion 27 are formed in a direction perpendicular to an imaginary straight line connecting the two elastic locking portions 23, respectively.

As shown in FIG. 2, the protective cap 30 has a protrusion 32 extending outward from one side of the disc-shaped stopper 31 and is formed at the bottom of the stopper 31 to protect the body 10. It has a coupling portion 33 fastened to the coupling groove 13, and one or more cut portions 34 are formed in the coupling portion 33.

As shown in FIG. 3, the communication member 50 has a needle coupling portion (51a) with a sharp end formed to penetrate the vial cap 250 and the port cap 115. A perforation needle 51 is inserted into the penetration part 18' formed at the bottom of 18) and consists of an insertion part 51b with a flat end, and a perforation needle 51 is inserted into the needle coupling part 18 and is installed in the center. The body 52 extends downward from both ends of the body 52 to be fixed to the needle coupling portion 18, extends again in the horizontal direction from the bottom, and is fitted into the fixing portion 19 provided on the separating wall 17. It has a connection part 53 provided with a coupling protrusion 54, and a needle rubber stopper 55 that covers the perforation part 51a of the perforation needle 51.

The vial connection device according to the first embodiment combines the communication member 50 with the body 10 and then the protective cap 30, and connects the port socket 20 to the socket coupling portion 12 of the body 10. ) can be packaged and distributed with installed.

When the vial 200 and the IV bag 100 are fluidly connected (mixing the injection drug and the IV fluid) using the vial connection device of the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, one port of the IV bag 100 ( 110) is inserted into the port socket 20 so that the port cap 115 at the end of the port 110 is caught on the port locking jaw 26 of the port socket 20. In this way, when the port stopper 115 is caught on the port locking jaw 26, until the elastic locking portion 23 moves through the operation of the pressing part 24 and the gap between the port locking jaws 26 is widened, the sap The port 110 of the bag 100 is not separated from the port socket 20.

In this state, when the port socket 20 is pushed toward the separation wall 17 of the body 10, the one-touch locking protrusion 27 provided at the top of the port socket 20 is moved to the separation wall of the body 10 ( After passing through the hole 17' formed in 17), it opens outward due to elasticity and is caught around the hole 17' of the separating wall 17. As a result, the port socket 20 is firmly coupled to the body 10, and the penetrating portion 18' of the needle coupling portion 18 penetrates the port plug 115 to the insertion portion of the perforating needle 51 ( 51b) is inserted into the port 110.

Meanwhile, after separating the protective cap 30 coupled to the vial coupling portion 11 of the body 10, and removing the needle rubber stopper 55 of the perforation needle 51, the bottle mouth of the vial 200 When the side is inserted into the vial engaging portion 11 and pushed, the perforating portion 51a of the perforating needle 51 perforates the vial cap 250, as shown in FIG. 6 . As a result, the injection medicine in the vial 200 is supplied to the port 110 of the IV bag 100 through the perforation needle 51, and the vial 200 and the IV bag 100 are fluidly connected.

When the mixing of the injection drug and the IV solution is completed, before or immediately after injecting the patient, the port 110 of the IV bag 100 is separated from the port socket 20, and the vial 200 is also removed. Separate from the vial coupling part (11). That is, by manipulating the pressing part 24 of the port socket 20 so that the port plug 115 can move, the space between the port locking jaws 26 is separated to separate the IV bag 100, and the vial coupling part 11 is connected to the vial coupling part 11. The combined vial 200 is also pulled and separated.

When both the IV bag 100 and the vial 200 are separated, the communication member 50 coupled to the needle coupling portion 18 of the body 10 is rotated in the reverse direction to release the fixation, and the communication member 50 is Pull it to separate it from the needle coupling part (18). In this way, by discharging the communication member 50 equipped with the perforation needle 51 separately from the body 10 or the port socket 20, there is safety in preventing the hand from being stabbed by the perforation needle 51 during the disposal process. Accidents can be prevented.
