优选地,所述推杆的内部滑动设置有弹簧导杆,所述推杆弹簧套设于所述弹簧导杆的外周。
优选地,所述复位弹性件为复位弹簧,所述复位弹簧压缩布置于所述释放环和所述壳体之间。
优选地,所述壳体包括前壳体和后壳体,所述前壳体连接于所述后壳体的前端。
优选地,所述壳体和所述护针罩均设有沿轴向延伸的观察窗口。
优选地,所述护针罩限位结构包括设置于所述壳体内壁的第一限位台阶和设置于所述护针罩外壁的第二限位台阶。
本发明提供的自动注射器的工作原理如下:
该自动注射器的壳体内部可以预先安装固定有预灌封的针筒,针头朝壳体 的前端开口布置,针头可由针鞘保护,在注射之前的初始组装状态时,护针罩伸出于壳体的前端并能够保护针头和针鞘。
需要注射时,取下保护针头的针鞘,然后,手持壳体并使壳体的前端对准身体需要注射的部位,将护针罩对准需要注射的部位并用力按压,此时,护针罩克服复位弹性件的弹力并带动释放环一同相对壳体向后端移动,从而使针头能够刺入需要注射的部位。在释放环向壳体后端移动的过程中,内管的第一卡夹脱离释放环的内壁的限位,从而释放对推杆的卡接限位,推杆在驱动弹性件的作用下向针筒的前端滑动,并通过活塞将针筒内的液体经针头注射到身体内,从而实现自动注射。
在推杆注射过程中,推杆的外壁能够对响筒限位结构提供持续的支撑作用,从而保证响筒与内管的位置相对固定;而当推杆滑动预设距离后,即,推杆将针筒内的预设量的液体注射完毕后,响筒限位结构脱离推杆的外壁的支撑,从而使得响筒能够在驱动弹性件的作用下向壳体的后端滑动。响筒在滑动过程中或者在滑动一定距离后,可以通过发声、发光、撞击振动等多种方式提示使用者注射完毕。使用者只需将针头从身体拔出即可完成整个注射过程。
本发明方案具有以下有益效果:
1)本方案提供的自动注射器通过八个零部件即可实现预灌封针筒的自动注射功能,相对于现有技术中的自动注射器,本方案结构简单,零件数目少;
2)本方案通过按压方式即可实现自动注射的功能,机构动作原理简单、可靠度高;
3)产品易于组装,降低人工组装成本,提高产品良率。

具体实施方式
下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本发明保护的范围。
请参照图1至图41,本发明提供了一种自动注射器,包括:壳体1、护针罩2、推杆3、响筒4、内管5、释放环6、驱动弹性件、复位弹性件。该自动注射器可以在组装时将预灌封的针筒9预先组装到壳体1内部,作为含有预灌封针筒的注射器出厂。
其中,壳体1是作为整个自动注射器的主要支撑和保护部件,用于固定针筒9、内管5等部件,同时也为其他部件提供安装和动作的空间,壳体1可设计为如图1中所示的中空的筒状结构,当然,也可以在壳体1外侧设计有更便于人手握持的符合人体工学的适配结构,使用者在注射时手持壳体1进行按压操作。壳体1内设有用于固定针筒9的针筒固定结构,壳体1的前端设有供针头91伸出的开口;壳体1内侧由后端至前端方向依次滑动设置有释放环6和护针罩2,护针罩2能够伸出于壳体1的前端且能够相对壳体1向后端滑动并推动释放环6,复位弹性件作用于释放环6并驱使释放环6推动护针罩2向壳体1的前端滑动;壳体1设置有用于限定护针罩2相对壳体1向前的滑动距离的护针罩限位结构。优选地,护针罩限位结构包括设置于壳体1内壁的第一限位台阶111和设置于护针罩2外壁的第二限位台阶22,如图7所示,护针罩限位结构用于防止护针罩2从壳体1中脱出。当然,护针罩限位结构还可以设计为其他形状结构,例如将壳体1的前段部分的内壁设计成由后端至前端逐渐 缩小的锥形内壁,护针罩2的外壁设计成与之配合的锥形外壁,从而防止护针罩2脱出;或者在护针罩2与壳体1内壁之间设计有限位挡销等结构,同样能够起到限位作用。
需要说明的是,本方案中所述的前端是指该自动注射器在使用时朝向人体注射的一端,即,该自动注射器伸出针头91的一端,当该自动注射器不含有针筒9及针头91时,前端是指护针罩2伸出于壳体1的一端;本方案中所述的后端与前述的前端相对,即,自动注射器的与前端相对的另一端。
推杆3是用于直接推动活塞93以实现自动注射的主要部件,推杆3沿轴向滑动设置于壳体1内部,且推杆3的前端用于推动针筒9内的活塞93,驱动弹性件作用于推杆3并驱使推杆3向针筒9的前端滑动,从而使推杆3能够在驱动弹性件的弹力作用下自动完成注射动作,驱动弹性件和推杆3能够在其他部件的限制作用下保持在初始组装状态以避免针筒9内的药液被推杆3推出,推杆3的外周设有推杆限位结构,该推杆限位结构就是用于与其他部件相互作用以使推杆3保持在初始组装状态。
响筒4是在推杆3注射完毕后发出提示信号的主要动作部件,响筒4沿轴向滑动套设于推杆3的外周,驱动弹性件作用于响筒4并驱使响筒4向壳体1的后端滑动,从而使响筒4能够在驱动弹性件的弹力作用下实现信号提示的功能,驱动弹性件和响筒4能够在其他部件的限制作用下保持在初始组装状态以避免响筒4向壳体1的后端滑动;响筒4设有推杆限位配合结构;响筒4与内管5之间设有响筒限位结构,用于在初始组装状态时保持响筒4与内管5之间的相对位置固定。
需要说明的是,本发明中的推杆3可以设计为实心或空心的杆状结构,或管状结构等;驱动弹性件可以采用螺旋弹簧、弹力绳、金属弹片等,优选地,本方案中的推杆3为中空的杆状结构,驱动弹性件为设置于推杆3内部的推杆弹簧7,推杆弹簧7压缩布置于推杆3的前端和响筒4的后端之间。由于推杆弹簧7处于压缩状态,因此,可以对推杆3施加向壳体1前端方向的压力,同时对响筒4施加向壳体1后端方向的压力,一旦推杆3脱离内管5的轴向限位,推杆3就会在推杆弹簧7的弹力作用下向壳体1前端方向移动,同时推动活塞93进行注射;一旦响筒4脱离内管5的轴向限位,响筒4就会在推杆7的弹力作用下向壳体1后端方向移动,同时发出提示信号。
优选地,推杆3的内部滑动设置有弹簧导杆71,推杆弹簧7套设于弹簧 导杆71的外周,推杆弹簧7的后端抵接于弹簧导杆71后端的导杆端部711,推杆弹簧7的前端则抵接于推杆3的前端,弹簧导杆71作为推杆弹簧7的导引件,因此,推杆弹簧7在压缩及复位释放过程中可以沿着弹簧导杆71进行伸缩运动,从而减小推杆弹簧7的扭曲量,保证推杆弹簧7的顺利伸缩。
内管5是相对壳体1位置固定的一个管状零件,其能为响筒4提供轴向运动的导引。内管5能够在初始组装状态与释放环6一同作用,从而固定推杆3和响筒4,并且能够在释放环6向后端移动后释放推杆3,从而实现推杆3的自动注射功能。内管5固定于壳体1内部并且套设于响筒4的外周,释放环6滑动套设于内管5的外周,内管5设有能够沿径向弹性移动的第一卡夹55,第一卡夹55在自身弹力作用下沿径向向外偏移,从而使得第一卡夹55能够在失去释放环6的限位作用后能够及时解除对推杆3的轴向固定,进而实现自动注射。
在自动注射器处于初始组装状态时,即注射之前的状态时,释放环6所处的位置能够将第一卡夹55沿径向压向响筒4及推杆3,即,第一卡夹55能够在释放环6的内壁的限位作用下沿径向向内偏移并通过推杆限位配合结构与推杆限位结构相互卡接限位,从而利用第一卡夹55固定推杆3的轴向位置,避免推杆3在注射前发生轴向移动。其中,推杆限位结构可以设计成凹坑结构、凹槽结构或能够与第一卡夹55轴向限位的锯齿结构等等,优选地,本方案中的推杆限位结构设计为环绕推杆3的外周设置的推杆环槽31,如图12至图14所示。推杆限位配合结构用于为第一卡夹55与推杆限位结构的卡接配合提供避让空间,或者用于传递第一卡夹55对推杆限位结构的夹持力。优选地,推杆限位配合结构为开设于响筒4的侧壁上的响筒避让缺口42,响筒避让缺口42沿响筒4的轴向延伸布置,如图15和图17所示。
另外,响筒限位结构能够在推杆3的外壁的支撑作用下限制响筒4与内管5的相对滑动,推杆3能够在向前端滑动预设距离后脱离对响筒限位结构的支撑,从而使推杆3在推注预设量药液或推注完毕后能够解除对响筒4的轴向固定,进而使得驱动弹性件能够将响筒4向壳体1后端推动,同时发出提示信号。其中,响筒限位结构可以设计成销、凸块、锯齿等结构形式,优选地,本方案中的响筒限位结构包括设置于响筒4外壁的响筒凸块41以及开设于内管5上的用于与响筒凸块41限位卡接的内管卡孔53,如图15至图19所示。
需要说明的是,当推杆3注射完毕后,可以通过解除对响筒限位结构的支 撑的方式,使响筒4能够在驱动弹性件的驱动下向壳体1后端方向移动,在响筒4移动过程中或移动到指定位置时可以通过多种方式发出不同类型的提示信号,用以提醒使用者注射完毕。例如,可以通过响筒4与壳体1后端方向某结构相互撞击并发出声音提示信号;或者通过响筒4在向后移动过程中与内管5内壁的相互摩擦发出声音提示信号;或者通过在壳体1后端开设通孔并使响筒4能够滑出通孔,从而可以撞击使用者手部并产生触觉提醒信号;或者通过响筒4在滑动至某位置时触发蜂鸣器或提示灯,从而实现声音或灯光提示,等等。优选地,本方案采用声音提示的方式来提醒使用者注射完毕,壳体1的后端设有用于与响筒4撞击限位的信号结构。具体的,该信号结构可以为壳体1后端的端板结构,或者设置于壳体1后端的按压发声结构,或者金属片,等等。优选地,本方案中的信号结构为固定于壳体1的后端的端板120,如图29和图30所示,当推杆3注射完毕后,响筒4向后撞击到端板120,同时发出撞击声音,从而提醒使用者。为了增大撞击声音,便于使用者听觉识别,本方案将端板120设计为刚性较大的结构,例如玻璃板、树脂板、金属板等,或者在端板120和响筒4相向的一侧设计有刚性较高的金属片或玻璃片等,从而使得两者相互撞击时能够发出清脆、易辨识的提示声音信号。
需要说明的是,本方案在初始组装状态含有预灌封的针筒9的自动注射器中,为了保护针头91不受外界污染,可以采用针筒9自带的针鞘92对针头91保护,还可以通过在自动注射器的前端设计其他保护结构,对针鞘92和针头91二次保护,该保护结构还可以对上述护针罩2进行限位和保护,避免意外触发自动注射功能。优选地,如图4所示,本方案提供的自动注射器还包括针帽14,针帽14可拆卸地连接于护针罩2的前端。在需要注射之前,使用者可以手动将针帽14拔除,从而使护针罩2可以在按压动作下向壳体1后端方向移动并露出针头91或针鞘92。
优选地,针帽14的后端设有用于与针鞘92的后端相互卡接的勾爪143,勾爪143能够对针鞘92施加向前端方向的拉力作用。如图4和图5所示,针帽14整体呈筒状结构,且针帽14的内侧贯穿设置有针帽内筒145,针帽内筒145的内圈形成用于容纳针鞘92的针鞘安装孔141,针帽内筒145的前端与针帽外筒的前端固定连接或设计为一体式结构,针帽内筒145的后端设有一对或多对勾爪143,勾爪143为由针帽内筒143的侧壁向针鞘安装孔141的内侧延伸的弹性钩状结构,在组装时为了便于将勾爪143卡入针鞘92的后端,本方 案将勾爪143的后端面设计为由后至前逐渐靠近针帽内筒145中心的引导斜面,如图4和图5所示。在组装自动注射器时,勾爪143可以由前端至后端方向卡入针鞘92后端端面,在使用自动注射器时,拔除掉针帽14时可以利用勾爪143对针鞘92施加拉力,从而使针鞘92脱离针头91。其中,勾爪143向内且向针帽14前端延伸,从而可以更加牢固地钩住针鞘92,保证有效拔除针鞘92。另外,针帽14的外侧筒与针帽内筒145之间还预留有供护针罩2的前端插入的空间。
优选地,针帽14的内圈与护针罩2的周向之间设有防脱凹凸配合结构,在使用注射器之前,该防脱凹凸配合结构可以避免针帽14意外脱离壳体1或护针罩2。具体的,如图4所示,本方案在针帽14的外筒的内壁与护针罩2的外壁之间设有防脱凹凸配合结构,该防脱凹凸配合结构具体包括针帽防脱限位部142和护针罩防脱限位部21,图4所示的针帽防脱限位部142为凸起结构,护针罩防脱限位部21为与之配合的凹陷结构,当然,两者可以互换,即,针帽防脱限位部142为凹陷结构,护针罩防脱限位部21为凸起结构,同样能够起到防脱限位的作用。当然,本发明还可以将防脱凹凸配合结构设置于针帽内筒145与护针罩2之间,本文不再赘述。
优选地,壳体1与针帽14之间设有用于限制针帽14相对壳体1向后端方向移动的针帽限位结构144。如图5和图6所示,针帽限位结构144具体设计为固定于针帽14的外筒的后端的凸起结构,壳体1前端则设计有与其配合的凹槽结构,当针帽14安装于壳体1前端时,针帽限位结构144与凹槽结构配合,不仅可以限制针帽14相对壳体1向后端移动,还可以限制针帽14相对壳体1沿周向转动。
如图9所示,优选地,针筒固定结构为固定于壳体1内侧的针筒固定筒110,针筒固定筒110的前端设有用于与针筒9的前端肩部限位配合的针筒夹爪112,针筒9的主体容纳于针筒固定筒110的内部,针筒9的前端肩部则抵接在针筒夹爪112,在注射时,针筒9能稳定固定在针筒固定筒110内不发生晃动,也防止针筒9的后端法兰94断裂使得针筒9压出壳体1。当然,本发明中的针筒固定结构还可以设计为固定于壳体1内侧的针筒固定环或针筒固定台阶等结构,本文不再赘述。
如图10和图11所示,优选地,针筒固定筒110的后端设有用于与针筒9的后端法兰94限位配合的支撑体114,支撑体114与针筒9的后端法兰94的 前端面之间设有弹性垫块113。其主要功能是在注射过程中为针筒9提供一弹性支撑,避免瞬间释放的推力过大造成玻璃制的针筒9发生破裂。
优选地,内管5的前端抵接于针筒9的后端法兰94的后端面,内管5的后端抵接于壳体1的后端。如此设置,内管5通过两端的抵接作用固定于壳体1内部,并且为针筒9提供稳定支撑。进一步优选地,如图18和图21所示,内管5的内管前端52与针筒9的后端法兰94抵接,其内管前端52可设计为弹性支撑脚结构,内管前端52会持续压在后端法兰94上,提供稳定的压力,使针筒9的后端法兰94可以一直压在弹性垫块113上,同时避免压损后端法兰94。
优选地,壳体1的后端设有与内管5的后端同轴配合的环状凸起121,壳体1的侧壁与内管5之间设有用于防止内管5旋转的旋转限位结构。具体的,环状凸起121用于保证内管5在壳体1内不发生晃动,从而为释放环6和响筒4等部件提供稳固的滑动支撑,还可以用于保证内管5与壳体1的同轴度,此时,当响筒4运动至壳体1的后端时,响筒4的后端会撞击到环状凸起121的前端面,从而发出撞击声音信号以实现提示。旋转限位结构则保证内管5不会相对壳体1发生转动。其中,旋转限位结构可以设计为多种结构形式,例如在壳体1的侧壁与内管5之间布置限位块结构,或者布置限位槽结构,或者将内管5的端部截面的外轮廓设计成方形、椭圆形等非圆形结构,通过型面配合来限制内管5的旋转,等等。优选地,本方案在壳体1的内壁设计有内管防转限位槽122,具体可设计成T型缺口槽,内管5的前端则设计有与之对应配合的内管防转凸起51,如图29和图30所示。
需要说明的是,本发明提供的自动注射器的壳体1可以设计为一体式结构,也可以设计为分体式结构,例如分成两段或多段筒状结构,优选地,如图1所示,壳体1包括前壳体11和后壳体12,前壳体11连接于后壳体12的前端。前壳体11主要为预灌封的针筒9提供安装支撑并确保护针罩2维持稳定的轴向运动,后壳体12主要为内管5和复位弹性件等其他部件提供安装空间。具体的,前壳体11和后壳体12可通过多种方式连接固定,例如螺纹连接、卡扣连接等,优选地,本方案在后壳体12的前端设计有后壳体安装环槽123,用于连接固定前壳体11,如图29所示。进一步优选地,本方案提供的自动注射器在作为半成品出厂时,壳体1为分体设计,注射器组装厂家再将预灌封的针筒9组装到壳体1中,然后将前壳体11和后壳体12连接固定,为了避免使 用者重复利用注射器,本方案还在前壳体11与后壳体12连接处设计有防拆结构,例如采用胶粘固定方式,或者采用过盈配合方式,或者将两者连接处设计为易折断的一次性连接结构,在拆开后无法再次连接到一起,等等。
优选地,为了便于使用者观察推杆3的推注情况,壳体1和护针罩2均设有沿轴向延伸的观察窗口13,即开设于壳体1和护针罩2侧壁上的镂空开口。当然,本发明中还可以将观察窗口13设计为透明盖结构,或者将壳体1、护针罩2等位于针筒9外周的零部件以及针筒9本身设计为透明结构,也能便于使用者观察注射情况。
释放环6是一个呈筒状结构的滑动零件,其主要功能是在初始组装状态限制内管5的第一卡夹55向外弹起,从而保证在注射之前使推杆3固定,当释放环6向壳体1后端方向移动并且释放环6解除对第一卡夹55的径向限制后,可以使第一卡夹55释放对推杆3的轴向限位,因此,推杆3可以在推杆弹簧7的作用下实现自动注射。释放环6的另一个功能是在注射完毕并回到初始轴向位置后能够与响筒4相互作用,从而保证注射器不会被二次利用。
在需要注射时,护针罩2带动释放环6一同克服复位弹性件的弹力,从而使释放环6向壳体1后端方向滑动,为了便于释放环6相对内管5滑动,优选地,内管5设有沿轴向延伸的内管避让槽孔54,释放环6设有与内管避让槽孔54滑动配合的第二卡夹62,且第二卡夹62能够与响筒4相互作用,响筒4的外侧设有用于限制第二卡夹62向壳体1的后端方向移动的卡夹限位结构。其中,第二卡夹62可设计为能够沿径向发生弹性变形的弹性卡夹结构,第二卡夹62能够与响筒4相互作用以使两者在沿轴向方向上相互抵接或摩擦等。当注射完毕后,响筒4移动至壳体1的后端,护针罩2的前端从注射部位移开,此时,释放环6受到复位弹性件的作用而向前端方向移动,当释放环6的第二卡夹62移动至与响筒4的卡夹限位结构相互作用时,由于卡夹限位结构与第二卡夹62的轴向限位作用,使得释放环6无法再次向壳体1后端方向移动,因此,进一步使得该自动注射器无法进行二次注射,保证了使用安全性。其中,卡夹限位结构可以设计成多种结构形式,例如限位孔结构、限位锯齿结构、限位摩擦面结构等,优选地,本方案在响筒4的侧壁设计有卡夹限位开口43,如图15至图17以及图26所示,由图示可见,在初始组装状态下,卡夹限位开口43位于第二卡夹62的前端,因此,卡夹限位开口43无法对第二卡夹62进行轴向限位,当注射完毕后(图26所示),第二卡夹62向前端方向移动并 卡入卡夹限位开口43内,此时,卡夹限位开口43的后端内侧边缘与第二卡夹62的后端端面相互抵接,从而限制第二卡夹62再次向壳体1后端方向移动。另外,为了方便第二卡夹62与响筒4之间的相对移动,本方案还在响筒4侧壁设计有卡夹避让开口44,如图15至图17以及图26所示,卡夹避让开口44位于卡夹限位开口43的后端方向。
需要说明的是,复位弹性件作为保持释放环6和护针罩2处于初始轴向位置的保持件以及在注射完毕后使释放环6和护针罩2恢复至初始轴向位置的恢复件,复位弹性件可以为释放环6提供持续的向前端方向施加的弹力作用,其具体可采用螺旋弹簧、弹力绳或金属弹片等弹性零件,优选地,复位弹性件为复位弹簧8,如图31所示,复位弹簧8压缩布置于释放环6和壳体1之间。如图34所示,本方案中还在释放环6的后端设计有用于与复位弹簧8抵接的释放环后端凸缘61,复位弹簧8的前端抵接于释放环后端凸缘61,复位弹簧8的后端则抵接于后壳体12的后端内壁,复位弹簧8在初始组装状态时也可处于压缩状态。
上文中所介绍的针帽14、护针罩2、前壳体11和弹性垫块113这四个零件组成前壳体的保持组件,主要用于保持固定针筒9的位置;上文中所介绍的推杆3、响筒4、内管5、释放环6、推杆弹簧7、弹簧导杆71、复位弹簧8、后壳体12这八个零部件组成后壳体的驱动组件,主要用于实现驱动注射的功能。
需要说明的是,本发明自动注射器的各个零件可以由各种不同的材料制作而成(例如医疗器材中常用的树脂、金属等),也可以具有不同的规格和结构。
下面,请参照图1至图3以及图32至图41,介绍一下本发明提供的自动注射器的完整使用过程。
图1至图3分别是在使用之前的自动注射器的整体外部结构示意图以及两个纵向截面示意图,此时,该自动注射器的针帽14还安装于壳体1的前端。前壳体11适于保持容纳药剂的针筒9,针筒9可以是预填充的注射筒,并且具有布置在针筒9前端的针头91,在其他实施例中,针筒9可以是适于可拆除地连接针头91的药剂筒。针头91朝前壳体11的前端开口布置,针头91可由针鞘92保护,在注射之前的初始组装状态时,护针罩2伸出于壳体1的前端并能够保护针头91和针鞘92。
如图32所示,在准备注射时,将针帽14向前端拔除掉,护针罩2的前端 则露出于壳体11之外,针头91仍被护针罩2遮蔽。然后,手持壳体1并使壳体1的前端对准身体需要注射的部位,将护针罩2对准需要注射的部位并用力按压,此时,护针罩2向壳体1内部收缩,并露出针头91,从而使针头91能够刺入需要注射的部位。当护针罩2被向后推进时,护针罩2的后端面会抵住释放环6的前端,护针罩2克服复位弹簧8的弹力并带动释放环6一同相对壳体1向后端移动并压缩复位弹簧8,直到释放环6的第二卡夹62抵接于内管5的内管避让槽孔54,如图33至图35所示。同时,护针罩2内壁设置的护针罩内圈凸起23会抵接于前壳体11内部的针筒夹爪112,以提供对针筒9前端肩部的辅助支撑。
在释放环6向壳体1后端方向移动的过程中,内管5的第一卡夹55脱离释放环6的内壁的限位,从而释放对推杆3的卡接限位,如图36至图37所示,推杆3在推杆弹簧7的作用下向针筒9的前端滑动,并通过活塞93将针筒9内的液体经针头91注射到身体内,从而实现自动注射。
在推杆3注射过程中,推杆3的外壁能够对响筒凸块41提供持续的支撑作用,从而保证响筒4与内管5的位置相对固定;而当推杆3滑动预设距离后,即,推杆3将针筒9内的预设量的液体注射完毕后,响筒凸块41脱离推杆3的外壁的支撑,从而使得响筒4能够在推杆弹簧7的作用下向壳体1的后端方向滑动。响筒4在滑动过程中或者在滑动一定距离后,可以通过发声、发光、摩擦、撞击振动等多种方式提示使用者注射完毕,本方案中采用响筒4与后壳体12的端板120内侧的环状凸起121的相互撞击发出声音的方式来提示注射完毕,如图38和图39所示。使用者只需将针头91从身体拔出即可完成整个注射过程。
另外,由于释放环6被向后推时压缩了复位弹簧8,所以一旦护针罩2的前端离开了注射部位,释放环6失去了向后端方向的推压力,释放环6便被复位弹簧8向前端方向推动,从而迫使护针罩2回到前壳体11的第一限位台阶111处,如图40所示。而当护针罩2回到初始轴向位置后,由于响筒4的轴向位置已经向壳体1后端方向移动了一段距离,因此,释放环6的第二卡夹62会卡入到响筒4的卡夹限位开口43中,从而使得响筒4受到卡夹限位开口43的轴向限位而无法再次向后移动,如图40和图41所示,这样就可以锁定护针罩2的轴向位置并避免针头91外露,即,避免该自动注射器被二次利用,从而保证了较高的使用安全性。
本发明方案具有以下有益效果:
1)本方案提供的自动注射器通过八个零部件即可实现预灌封针筒的自动注射功能,相对于现有技术中的自动注射器,本方案结构简单,零件数目少;
2)本方案通过按压方式即可实现自动注射的功能,机构动作原理简单、可靠度高;
3)产品易于组装,降低人工组装成本,提高产品良率。
对所公开的实施例的上述说明,使本领域专业技术人员能够实现或使用本发明。对这些实施例的多种修改对本领域的专业技术人员来说将是显而易见的,本文中所定义的一般原理可以在不脱离本发明的精神或范围的情况下,在其它实施例中实现。因此,本发明将不会被限制于本文所示的这些实施例,而是要符合与本文所公开的原理和新颖特点相一致的最宽的范围。
