The present invention relates to a method of dispensing liquid medicine comprising the steps of providing a wearable, disposable dispensing device comprising a syringe having a cylinder and a plunger displaceable in said syringe cylinder for pressing medicine out of said syringe cylinder and a drive mechanism connected to said plunger for displacing said plunger in said cylinder, and an electrical motor connected to a battery and to said drive mechanism for providing a rotary force to said driving mechanism for displacing said plunger, displacing said plunger a certain distance in connection with a cycle of said driving mechanism.
Methods of this type are known, wherein the electrical motor is controlled by a control means so as to carry out a certain number of revolutions for each cycle corresponding to the desired distance of displacement of the plunger.
In connection with such methods it is important that no more than the predetermined amount of medicine be dispensed per cycle as otherwise life threatening dosages may be dispensed.
When utilizing an electrical motor, a short circuit can entail that the motor does not stop after the predetermined number of revolutions or that the motor starts by itself.
Security means have been suggested to ensure that the predetermined dosage is not exceeded, for instance monitoring the amount of liquid dispensed per cycle or monitoring the displacement distance of the plunger or the amount of revolutions of the motor per cycle with interruption means being activated if the monitored elements exceed a certain value.
There exists a need for a simple and fail-safe method to avoid over-dosage of medicine. One main object of the invention is to meet this need.
According to the invention this object is achieved by the cycle comprising rotating said electrical motor in a first direction of rotation and subsequently rotating said electrical motor in the opposite direction of rotation.
Hereby, any short-circuit of the motor will not entail continued rotation of the motor in one direction with ensuing continued dispensing of medicine.
The invention furthermore relates to a wearable, disposable medicine dispensing device comprising:
In a further aspect, the present invention relates to an actuator comprising:
Such an actuator according to the invention may be used in connection with medicine dispensing devices, but also in any application where a rotational force or movement is to be utilized to displace a body.
In the following the invention will be described more in detail in connection with two embodiments shown, solely by way of example, in the accompanying drawings, where
a, b and c are views of some of the drive mechanism elements of the device in
a-b very schematically show a second embodiment of an actuator according to the invention at two different phases of an actuation cycle.

The flexible piston 5 is composed of segments hinged together and outwardly threaded guided by a rail 6 received in recesses in each of the segments of the rod 5. The not shown outward threads of the segments of the flexible piston rod 5 engage in a thread 8 of ratchet wheel 7 having teeth 9 along the periphery thereof. An electrical motor 10 electrically connected to a battery 11 and control means 12 is provided with a gear 13 meshing with a gear 14 attached to an outwardly threaded spindle or shaft 15 received in an inwardly threaded nut 16 attached a plate 17 provided with two slits 18 and 19, extending parallel to the axis of said spindle 15 and a third slit 20, extending at an angle to said axis. Two fixedly arranged pins 21 and 22 are received in the slits 18 and 19, respectively such that the pins serve as guides to the to and fro displacement of the plate 17 by means of the spindle 15 when the electrical motor 10 rotates first in one directional rotation and thereafter in the opposite directional rotation.
A protuberance 23 is arranged on the plate 17 to co-operate with two end stop contacts 24 and 25 electrically connected to the control means 12 for reversing the direction of rotation of the electrical motor when the protuberance 23 contacts one of the end stop contacts 24 or 25. A pawl 26 is attached to a pivotable elongated body 27 having a pin 28 for being received in the oblique slit 20 and a hole 29 for receiving the pin 21 such that the body 27 is pivotable around the pin 21. A ratchet 30 is fixedly attached to the housing 2 by means of a pin 31 and is located so as to engage the teeth 9 of the ratchet wheel 7. The pawl 26 is displaceable from a retracted position where it does not engage the teeth 9 of the ratchet wheel 7 and in an engaged position in which it engages the teeth of the ratchet wheel and rotates the ratchet wheel in a clockwise direction.
The displacement of the pawl 26 between the two positions indicated above takes place by the linear displacement of the plate 17. When the plate 17 is displaced in the direction from the end stop contact 24 to the end stop contact 25, the oblique slit 20 urges the pin 28 of the elongated body 27 in a direction away from the carpule 3 such that the elongated body 27 pivots around the pin 21 in a clockwise direction, whereby the pawl 26 is moved in towards its retracted position relative to the ratchet wheel 7. When the protuberance 23 on the plate 17 contacts the end stop contact 25, the directional rotation of the motor 10 is reversed and the plate 17 is displaced in the direction from the end stop contact 25 towards the end stop contact 24, whereby the oblique slit 20 forces the pin 28 towards the carpule 3, whereby the elongated body 27 is forced to rotate in a counterclockwise direction whereby the pawl 26 is brought into contact with one of the teeth 9 of the ratchet wheel and rotates the ratchet wheel in a clockwise direction, while the ratchet rides over one of the other teeth 9 for locking the ratchet wheel against rotation in the counterclockwise direction.
Thus, during one cycle of rotation in one direction and the opposite direction of the electrical motor 10, the ratchet wheel 7 will be advanced by one tooth corresponding to one displacement of the pawl 26 from the retracted position thereof to the engaged position thereof.
Referring now to
When the plate 17 is moved in the direction from end contact 24 towards the end contact 25, the spring 40 is in tension, and when the plate 17 moves back in a direction from the end stop contact 25 towards the end stop contact 24 after reversion of the direction of rotation of the motor 10, the spring 40 will be relaxed and exert a force in the same direction as the motor 10 on the plate 17 and thus reinforcing the force available to rotate the ratchet wheel 7.

The displacement of the pawl 74 between the two positions indicated in
Thus, during one cycle of rotation in one direction and the opposite direction of the electrical motor 10, the ratchet wheel 7 will be advanced by two teeth corresponding to two displacements of the pawl 74. The pivotable body 78 comprises a protuberance 78a which co-operates with two end stop contacts 85a and 85b electrically connected to the control means for controlling the reversal of the direction of rotation of the electrical motor when the protuberance 78a contacts the end stop contact 85a. Due to the fact that the twisted strings 35 can only provide a pulling force on the pivotable body 78, a spring 40 is connected to the pivotable body to provide the movement in the direction shown by the arrow in
In the embodiment shown in the figures spring 40 is a coil spring, however, other types of springs, such as a rod spring could be provided for this purpose.

A rotation motor 51 is attached to a pair of elongate, flexible elements such as strings or filaments 52 by means of a rotational body 53 that may or may not function as a fly wheel. The elements 52 are attached to a pin 54 on a pivotable plate. Rotation of the motor in the direction R1 will twist the strings 52 such that the length thereof is shortened until the pin 54 is displaced linearly in the direction R2 whereby the plate 55 is rotated around pivot 56 in the direction R3. A tension spring 57 is attached to plate 55 at pin 58 and to a not shown frame at pin 59.
Rotation of the plate 55 will expand the spring 57 in the direction R4 against the spring force thereof.
Rotation of the motor 51 in the direction opposite R1 will at first untwist the elements 52 whereby the length thereof becomes larger with the consequence that the spring 57 rotates the plate 55 in the direction opposite R3.
Further rotation of the motor 51 in the; direction opposite R1 will twist the elements 52 again an eventually exert a force on said pin 54 in direction R2 again, the direction of rotation being subsequently reversed again and the cycle starts anew.
In case, a smaller interval is desired between each turn of the plate 55 in the direction R3, the motor 51 may reverse direction of rotation as soon the elements 52 have become untwisted to an extent that the spring 57 has pivoted the plate a certain distance in the direction opposite R3.
Reference is now made to
The body 61 is displaceable along a groove 63 in which a pin 64 of the body is slideably received. A spring 65 is attached to the displaceable body 61 such that displacement of said body 61 in the direction R5 takes place against the biasing force exerted by the spring 65.
The other body 62 is fixedly arranged such that when twisting of the element 52 by rotation of the motor 51 takes place the loop 60 is reduced in size as seen in
When the rotational direction of the motor is reversed so that it rotates in the direction R7, the element 52 will be untwisted, the loop 60 will enlarge and the spring 65 will displace the body in the direction R6.
Although the groove is shown extending substantially linearly, it may obviously be curved and extend at different angles to the axis of the motor.
The body 61 may be attached to a multitude of different driving or transmission mechanisms, for example the ratchet and pawl mechanisms shown in
A displaceable body should be taken to mean any body that can change position either by linear motion, curved motion, rotative motion, etc. and any combination thereof under the influence of a force applied to a point on or in said body.
Displacement should likewise be taken to mean any change in position resulting from linear motion, curved motion, rotative motion, etc. and any combination thereof.
