A needle seat 20 is provided with a needle seat groove 21 in the direction of a needle outlet hole to accommodate and fix a blood taking needle 50 (referring to
A guide rib 27 is installed in a guide sleeve 40 along a first guide groove 48 (referring to
A column 33 of a stop block 30 is installed via a through hole 25 in a state that a first catching piece 34 is caught by a first matching surface 26, and a second catching piece 35 is caught by a notch 24.
The guide sleeve 40 in which the needle seat 20 and the stop block 30 are installed is installed in a housing 60, a button 70 has been placed in the housing 60 in advance, a trigger surface 72 is exposed to the outside of the housing 60 through a button hole 63, an edge 71 is retained in the housing 60, and a contact point 73 is close to a needle outlet hole 11; a first hook 43 is retained on the same side as the button hole 63, and an assembling groove 44 is installed along a mounting rib 61, until a first positioning surface 45 abuts against a front end face 66.
A cap 10 is an internally hollow housing and is provided to the guide sleeve 40 in a sleeving manner, a first thread groove 13 is screwed onto a first thread rib 42, the cap 10 can move along the axial direction in a departing manner or an approaching manner through the cooperation of the first thread groove 13 and the first thread rib 42; when a bottom surface 15 abuts against a second positioning surface 49 (referring to
A spring 150 is provided to a column 96 of a driving core 90 in a sleeving manner (referring to
A tail cap 110 is a housing provided with an opening at one end, the tail cap includes therein a circle of rib 113, the inner diameter of the rib 113 is less than the outer diameter of the first blocking piece 120, so that the first blocking piece 120 is in interference fit with the rib 113, the foregoing inner core assembly is installed from the opening of the tail cap 110, and a second guide groove 85 is aligned with a positioning rib 111, until an end face 112 is in contact with a fourth positioning surface 84. The driving core 90 of this assembly passes through a second through hole 62 (referring to
The operation of the lancet device according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the drawings. It should be pointed out that, for the clarity of display, some features or components in some drawings are not specifically shown.
During blood collection, the blood taking needle 50 is installed and fixed in the needle seat groove 21 through the needle outlet hole 11, the tail cap is pulled to drive the driving core 90 to axially move to depart from the needle outlet hole 11, until the elastic arm 91 slides over a second positioning surface 46, a first top face 92 abuts against the second positioning surface 46, the spring 150 is compressed by a fifth positioning surface 95, and the lancet device enters a state to be triggered (referring to
Preparatory works that can be made before blood collection include: 1. the puncture length of the blood taking needle is adjusted: the cap is rotated, because during a trigger process, the needle seat 20 will stop moving toward the direction of the needle outlet hole at the arrival of a specified position, the puncture length of the needle tip of the blood taking needle can be adjusted by the axial movement of the cap (referring to
In the above embodiment of the present disclosure, since the compression of the spring 150 is limited by the fifth positioning surface 95 and the separation piece 86, when the tail cap 110 is rotated, the second thread rib 81 of the tail cap core 80 is driven by the positioning rib 111 to rotate along the second thread groove 64, when the fourth positioning surface 84 is in close contact with the rear end face 67, the tail cap core 80 is located at the nearest end, the compression amount of the spring is the maximum, and the elastic force is the maximum; and when the tail cap core 80 is rotated until the second hook 82 is in contact with the second blocking surface 65, the tail cap core 80 cannot move further toward the far end due to the limitation of the second blocking surface 65, at this time, the tail cap core is located at the furthest end, the distance between the fifth positioning surface 95 and the separation piece 86 is the maximum, the compression amount of the spring is the minimum, and the elastic force is the minimum.
By adjusting the magnitude of the elastic force of the spring 150 (i.e, the driving spring), the needle ejection speed can be adjusted. Generally speaking, the faster the needle ejection speed is, the lower the pain of the user is in the case of not considering other factors.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a plurality of elastic pieces 23 are provided to the periphery of the needle seat groove 21, the needle seat 20 axially reciprocates in the cap 10 during the blood collection process, and the needle seat 20 moves smoothly via the deformation of the elastic pieces 23 (acting with the limiting rib 12), thereby reducing the jitter of the blood taking needle during the blood collection process and reducing the pain of the user.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the space formed by the limiting rib 12 and the housing of the cap 10 can accommodate a part of the spring 140 so as to limit the amount of circumferential swing of the spring 140, so that the jitter of the blood taking needle during the blood collection process can be reduced, and the pain of the user can be alleviated.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by using the stop block made of a soft material, the vibration during the impact of the driving core and the needle seat can be reduced, and the pain of the user can be alleviated.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the adjustment of the puncture depth is realized just by adjusting the relative axial position between the head cap and the body, which, compared with the known technique of driving the head cap core to rotate via the rotation of the head cap, the number of components for adjusting the puncture depth is reduced.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the adjustment of the puncture depth and the adjustment of the driving elastic force are both realized in the technical solution of the lancet device, which is conducive to further reducing the pain of the user. The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a lancet device, which takes the puncture depth and the puncture force (speed) of the blood taking needle at the same time.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, although the needle seat and the driving core are two separate components, they can also be formed into one component, which is also within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
There can be many modifications to the above-described embodiment. For example:
the lancet device may be provided with the tail cap core and is not provided with the tail cap housing, or, the tail cap core and the tail cap housing are of an integrated structure;
the component connected to the second end of the driving spring (in the present disclosure, the end away from the needle outlet hole is the second end, and the end close to the needle outlet hole is the first end) can also be configured to move axially relative to the tail cap core, in addition to being fixedly connected to the tail cap core;
the driving spring can provide a driving force in a compressed state and can also provide the driving force in a stretched state;
when the driving spring provides the driving force in the compressed state, the adjustment of the magnitude of the elastic force may not be limited to adjusting the position of the second end of the driving spring, and the position of the first end of the driving spring can also be adjusted;
the axial distance between the two ends of the driving spring is adjusted or the axial distance between two connecting components is adjusted, a threaded connection can be adopted, and other manners can also be adopted, including snap fit connection or the like;
in the case that it is not necessary to use the head cap to adjust the puncture depth, the lancet device may not include the head cap, or, the head cap is directly integrated with the body of the lancet device;
in the case that it is not necessary to use the tail cap to locate the lancet device at a standby position to be triggered, the lancet device may not be provided with the tail cap, or the tail cap is directly integrated with the body of the lancet device; and
the stop block may be not provided, but the puncture depth of the blood taking needle is selected or controlled through the cooperation between the driving spring and the return spring, so as to eliminate the pain caused by the lancet device to the user due to vibration.
