Description

Drug injection device

The present invention relates to a drug injection device for injecting a drug containing an anesthetic solution.

As the income index of the aging society and the public has recently increased, interest in health has increased considerably. Among them, the interest in dental treatment is quite high, and as the society becomes aging, the demand for dental treatment such as implant and prosthetic treatment is increasing. However, according to patients' satisfaction with dental treatment, Korean Dental Association, 2007 (3), many patients have fear of dental treatment, among them, fear of pain.

Most dental treatments require anesthesia, and after anesthesia, the tooth can be treated almost painlessly. For example, in the case of dental implants, local anesthesia is performed at the site to be treated. Such anesthesia is used to inject anesthesia into the surgical site using a syringe.

In general, when anesthesia solution is injected, the anesthesia injection rate is increased, and excessive pressure is generated in the affected part, and the patient feels pain. Therefore, when injecting anesthesia solution, it should be injected at an appropriate infusion rate, and if injected at a slow speed, the patient does not feel great pain. However, if the anesthesia fluid is injected at a slow rate and the procedure time is delayed, the operator must bear excessive time loss, and the patient must endure the longer procedure time.

On the other hand, as the dental industry develops and competition among dentists is increasing, a lot of dentists nowadays have the motto of painless dental treatment for patients with fear of dentistry, patients with fear of pain, and children. It is.

It was developed to meet the needs of these dentists, painless anesthesia, the prior art related to painless anesthesia is disclosed in Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0784931 (2007.12.05).

The painless anesthetic device according to an embodiment of the prior art is a gun type painless anesthetic with a built-in battery, an anesthetic body coupled with an ampoule for receiving anesthetic liquid, and the body is detachably coupled with a built-in battery. It is divided into a handpiece type painless anesthetic of the main body and a footswitch type painless anesthetic in which anesthetic fluid is injected by the foot switch.

In one embodiment of the prior art, the painless anesthesia of the gun type weighs a lot due to the built-in battery and other parts, and the center of gravity is not stable, and the anesthesia is injected at an appropriate speed due to the shaking of the anesthesia itself. There is a disadvantage that cannot be achieved.

And since the handpiece type painless anesthesia has a built-in battery in the anesthesia body separated from the gripping portion, the weight effect is significantly less than the painless anesthesia of the aforementioned gun type. However, additional costs are required in that a separate main body is provided for accommodating the battery, and the operation may be inconvenient due to interference of the main body even during anesthesia.

The foot switch type analgesic anesthesia is easy to inject the anesthesia solution because the foot switch is pressed with the foot for the injection of the anesthesia solution, but the foot switch and the like are heavy and may cause interference with peripheral devices.

In particular, the painless anesthesia according to one embodiment of the prior art adopts the principle of injecting anesthesia by the driving force of the drive shaft connected to the motor, which is inconvenient in the process of replacing the ampoule containing the anesthetic solution after the anesthesia is injected. There is a point. That is, in the process of replacing the ampoule, the reverse rotational force of the motor cannot be blocked from being transmitted to the drive shaft, and thus, there is a disadvantage in that the replacement of the ampoule has to wait until the reverse rotational force of the motor is consumed.

The technical problem to be achieved by the present invention is to provide a drug injection device that improves the disadvantage that the ampoules can not be replaced in a short time because the reverse rotational force of the motor, which is the biggest problem of conventional painless anesthesia, cannot be prevented from being transmitted to the drive shaft. It is.

Drug injection device according to an embodiment of the present invention for achieving the above object, the main body is coupled to the ampoule case is stored drug; A pressurizing part inserted into the ampoule case by linear movement in the main body to allow the drug to be discharged to the outside of the ampoule case; A power connection portion connected at one end thereof to a main power source connected to the other end thereof to provide a power source for driving the pressing unit; A power transmission mechanism accommodated in the main body and connected to the power connection unit to transmit power provided from the power source to the pressing unit; And a power switching mechanism for allowing the power transmission portion to be selectively connected to the pressing portion.

Drug injection device according to an embodiment of the present invention in another aspect, the body is made of at least one frame, the front end is formed with an insertion hole coupled to the rear end of the ampoule case; A pressing unit which presses a rear end of the ampoule case by linearly moving in the front-rear direction inside the main body; A power connection unit having one end connected to the main body and the other end connected to a power source providing power for driving the pressing unit; A power transmission unit accommodated in the main body and configured to transfer power provided from the power source to the pressing unit; And means formed in the stopper and the main body, respectively, for limiting the length of the pressing section.

According to the drug injection device according to an embodiment of the present invention, there is an effect that the disadvantage of the conventional painless anesthesia to replace the ampoule after waiting until the reverse rotational torque of the motor is consumed is improved. That is, the rotational force transmission of the motor is immediately interrupted by the operation of rotating the ampoule to separate the ampoule.

In addition, according to the drug injection device of the present invention, there is an advantage that the ampoule can be replaced in a short time.
