Abstract

An infusion needle structure of drug infusion device includes: an infusion needle including a front end and a back end; a needle holder provided with at least one auxiliary fastener; one fastening portion, arranged inside the infusion device, cooperates with the auxiliary fastener to lock the needle holder in the working position; an unlock hole provided on the needle holder or on the housing of the infusion device; and an unlock rod that is inserted into the unlock hole and pushed, thus releasing and resetting the needle holder. The infusion needle is able to reset and released when the infusion device is during replacement.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1 . An infusion needle structure of a drug infusion device, comprising:
an infusion needle comprising a front end and a back end; a needle holder provided with at least one auxiliary fastener, wherein the infusion needle is arranged on the needle holder, when the needle holder is in a working position, the back end is pierced into a skin while the front end is connected with a drug storage unit; a fastening portion, arranged inside the infusion device, cooperates with the auxiliary fastener to lock the needle holder in the working position; an unlock hole provided on the needle holder or on a housing of the infusion device; and an unlock rod inserted into the unlock hole and pushed, thus releasing and resetting the needle holder.

2 . An infusion needle structure of a drug infusion device of claim 1 , wherein the needle holder includes a guide post which moves along a guide chamber that is provided in the housing.

3 . An infusion needle structure of a drug infusion device of claim 2 , wherein the auxiliary fastener is arranged on the guide post or under a top of the needle holder, and the auxiliary fastener or the fastening portion includes a fastening hole, a fastening block, a fastening slot, or a fastening hook.

4 . An infusion needle structure of a drug infusion device of claim 3 , wherein a mode for forcing to release and reset the needle holder includes a pop-up mode or a pushing mode.

5 . An infusion needle structure of a drug infusion device of claim 4 , further comprising a spring, arranged in the guide chamber, which is compressed by the needle holder when the needle holder is in the working position.

6 . An infusion needle structure of a drug infusion device of claim 5 , wherein the fastening portion and the auxiliary fastener are fastened with each other directly, when being unlocked, an end of the fastening portion is pushed by the unlock rod to move a distance to release the auxiliary fastener fastened by the fastening portion, and the spring exerts a resilient force toward the needle holder.

7 . An infusion needle structure of a drug infusion device of claim 4 , further comprising a locking lever, the auxiliary fastener is a fastening hole or a fastening slot, a first end of the locking lever is movably arranged inside the auxiliary fastener while a second end of the locking lever is fastened by the fastening portion, a fulcrum of the locking lever is arranged between the first end and the second end of the locking lever, and the second end is pushed by the unlock rod to move a distance to release the locking lever and the needle holder.

8 . An infusion needle structure of a drug infusion device of claim 2 , further comprising a limit component, arranged on the housing, which is used to limit a position of the needle holder when the needle holder is in a non-working position.

9 . An infusion needle structure of a drug infusion device of claim 8 , wherein the unlock rod is arranged on the limit component.

10 . An infusion needle structure of a drug infusion device of claim 8 , wherein a side surface of the guide post is provided with convex or concave while the limit component is provided with a fastening cantilever which is used to cooperate with the convex or concave to limit the position of the needle holder.

11 . An infusion needle structure of a drug infusion device of claim 2 , wherein an opening of the unlock hole is provided on a top of the needle holder or the housing, or on a side wall of the housing.

12 . An infusion needle structure of a drug infusion device of claim 11 , wherein the opening of the unlock hole is provided on the top of the needle holder, and longitudinal directions of the unlock hole and the guide post are parallel to each other.
