In the specification, the same or similar reference signs indicate the same or similar components. The following descriptions of the embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the drawings are intended to explain the general inventive concept of the present disclosure, and should not be understood as a limitation to the present disclosure.
The blood collection device according to the present disclosure will be exemplarily described below with reference to
a shell 20, wherein an accommodating cavity is formed in the shell, and the shell has a first opening 20A and a second opening 20B, as shown in
a blade seat 30, as shown in
an elastic component 40, as shown in
a triggering portion 10, as shown in

In a further embodiment, the bending portion is bent upward, and can also cause the tail end of the elastic arm to side toward the side wall of the shell when the tail end of the elastic arm abuts against the first cooperation column.
As shown in
Furthermore, as shown in
It should be pointed out that, in the present disclosure, the upper side face of the bending portion or the upper side face of the tail end of the bending portion refers to, for example, in the case of the position as shown in
In the present disclosure, the bending portion is not limited to the shape or structure shown in
As shown in
The operation of the blood collection device based on the above description will be briefly described below.
In use, at first, a blade outlet edge is aligned with a blood collection site. Then, a force F is applied to the operating end or a pressing portion 11, the guide surface 131 guides the guide arm 13 to slide along the second cooperation column or a positioning column 22 until the positioning groove 15 is in contact with the second cooperation column 22, and the rotation of the triggering portion 10 stops.
In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the guide arm 13 and the second cooperation column 22 always move relative to each other in a tangential manner, so that the pressing force used in the triggering process of the blood collection device is continuous and uniform, and false triggering caused by the accidental contact with the triggering portion 10 is avoided. In other words, the guide arm 13 is a straight guide arm, and when the triggering portion 10 is at the first position, the guide arm 13 is opposite to the second cooperation column 22, as shown in
Before the blood collection device is triggered, the upper side face 121 of the bending portion contacts with the first cooperation column 21, when the operating end 11 is pressed, the triggering portion 10 rotates clockwise along the pivot shaft 23 to a certain angle, and during this process, the upper side face 121 of the bending portion passes over the first cooperation column 21 based on the elastic deformation of the elastic arm or the elastic deformation of the bending portion itself. In a more specific embodiment, the arc length of the surface of the upper side face 121 of the bending portion that is engaged with the first cooperation column is approximately equal to ¼ length of the circumference of the first cooperation column 21, so that it is easier to pass over the first cooperation column 21 based on the elastic deformation, however, it will also cause some interference, and play a role of preventing accidental triggering together with the sliding friction of the guide arm 13. During this process (that is, in the process of moving from the first position of the triggering portion in
After the positioning groove 15 is in contact with the second cooperation column 22 (the second cooperation column 22 is in contact with the main body 14 of the triggering portion and the guide arm 13 at the same time), the triggering portion 10 stops rotating. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the distance between the lower side face 122 or the side wall surface of the bending portion and the side wall of the first cooperation column 21 may be, for example, around ¼ length of the circumference of the first cooperation column 21. When someone intends to operate the triggering portion 10 in a reverse direction (i.e., reverse rotation) to restore the triggering portion 10 of the used blood collection device to the original position, the lower side face 122 of the bending portion abuts against the first cooperation column 21, for example, forming external tangent, in this way, when the bending portion is subjected to a reverse action, the tail end of the bending portion will warp upward along its arc to prevent the triggering portion from resetting, the upward warping causes either the tail end of the bending portion to abut against the first cooperation column 21, either abuts between the first cooperation column 21 and the side wall of the shell.
As shown in
The first shell portion may be provided with a plurality of mounting columns 24, the second shell portion is provided with mounting holes (not shown) that cooperate with the plurality of mounting columns 24, and the first shell portion and the second shell portion are engaged with each other based on the cooperation between the mounting columns and the mounting holes.
In a specific embodiment, the mounting columns 24 include the first cooperation column 21 and the second cooperation column 22.
The movement of the blade seat 30 will be exemplarily described below with reference to the drawings.
As shown in
As shown in
More specifically, the first guide groove 25 has a first end (the lower end in
As shown in
As shown in
In an optional embodiment, the upper shell may be provided with a guide groove that cooperates with the first guide groove on the lower shell. If the guiding ability of the guiding groove on the lower shell is sufficient, the upper casing may be not provided with the guide groove.
The abutting cooperation structure of the abutting end 16 and the blade seat 30 will be exemplarily described below with reference to the drawings.
As shown in
In a further embodiment, the end of the blade seat 30 close to the second protrusion 36 has a step portion, a vertical surface of the step portion parallel to the thickness direction of the blade seat forms the abutting surface 31, and a horizontal plane of the first step portion vertical to the thickness direction of the blade seat forms a step surface 39. At the same time, as shown in
The use of the blood collection device and the movement of the blade seat 30 according to the present disclosure will be exemplarily described below with reference to the drawings.
At first, a blade outlet is aligned with the blood collection site. Then, an operating portion 11 of the triggering portion 30 is pressed, so that the guide arm 13 slides tangentially along the outer side of the second cooperation column 22. In this process, the bending portion of the elastic arm 12 gradually departs from the first cooperation column 21 based on the elastic deformation of the elastic arm 12.
After the bending portion of the elastic arm 12 deviates from the first cooperation column 21, the abutting end 16 is out of contact with the blade seat 30. At this time, the blade seat 30 is released. Based on the tension of the elastic component, the second protrusion 36 moves along the second guide portion 26, the first protrusion 35 is located at the bottom of the first guide groove 25, and it can be considered that the blade seat 30 basically rotates clockwise around the first protrusion 35 at first. Under the pulling of the elastic component 40, the blade seat 30 first takes the first protrusion 35 as the circle center, and the second protrusion 36 rotates a certain angle along the arc-shaped groove or the second guide portion 26 until it falls into the first guide groove 25. As the second protrusion 36 enters the first guide groove 25, the blade reaches a vertical position (the penetration depth is the largest), furthermore, because the second protrusion 36 cannot move further rightward in the first guide groove 25, so the blade seat 30 can then only move vertically (retract vertically) along the first guide groove 25 under the action of the elastic component. During the clockwise rotation of the blade seat 30, the blade extends out from the blade outlet to collect blood. Immediately afterwards, the aforementioned two protrusions move a certain distance to the inside of the shell along the first guide groove 25, thereby driving the blade 32 to retract from the blade outlet to complete blood collection.
In the present disclosure, after the blood collection is completed, the bending portion of the elastic arm 12 abuts against the first cooperation column and does not pass over the first cooperation column 21 when the triggering portion rotates from the position shown in
It should be noted that, in the present disclosure, the blade outlet direction refers to the extension direction of the blade when the blade penetrates into the deepest position in the skin of the patient. Since the first guide groove 25 cooperates with the first protrusion 35 and the extension direction is generally the same as the blade outlet direction, after the second protrusion 36 is guided by the second guide portion 26 to enter the first guide groove 35, the blade 32 is in the blade outlet direction and will not move further in an arc, for example, move further leftward, so that the size of the blood collection knife edge can be effectively reduced when the penetration depth is the same.
In the present disclosure, the guide groove can be a concave groove formed in the wall of the shell, or a groove formed by a rib arranged to the wall of the shell.
In the present disclosure, although in the illustrated example, the spring provides power for the pivoting of the blade seat, the spring in the present disclosure also covers other elastic elements, which are all within the protection scope of the present disclosure. It should also be noted that in the illustrated embodiment, the spring is a tension spring, but the spring can also be a compression spring, and the compression spring pushes one end of the blade seat to push the blade seat to pivot. This is also within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
Although in the illustrated embodiment, the second guide portion 26 is in the form of a guide groove, as can be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art, the second guide portion 26 can also be a curved surface that limits the movement trajectory of the second protrusion 26. For example, the second guide portion 26 has an arc-shaped abutting surface centered on the first protrusion 35.
It should be pointed out that, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, only the elastic arm and the first cooperation column may be disposed, and the guide arm is not disposed.
