Abstract

A lancing device utilizing tail handle to load and adjust depth, includes a shell, an ejection pin, and a tail handle. The tail handle rotates fit with shell in circumferential direction of lancing device and slides fit with shell in axial direction of lancing device; the tail handle has forward sliding limit relative to shell in axial direction; passive impact surface is arranged corresponding to active impact surface on ejection pin for adjusting puncture depth and loading, and passive impact surface is formed by spiral action surface on tail handle; in use state, rotating tail handle will drive position of impact point on passive impact surface to change in axial direction of lancing device, thereby adjusting lancet tip puncture depth; pulling the tail handle backward will force the passive impact surface to come into contact with the active impact surface, and drive the ejection pin to be loaded and locked.

between the tail handle and the shell, one of the tail handle and the shell is equipped with an axial limit surface, the other of the tail handle and the shell is equipped with a limit action part, and the axial limit surface is configured to contact the limit action part to limit the position of the tail handle relative to the shell to slide forward in an axial direction;

a passive impact surface is arranged corresponding to the active impact surface for both adjusting puncture depth and loading, the passive impact surface is directly or indirectly formed by a spiral action surface on the tail handle, rotating the tail handle is configured to change the position of the impact point on the passive impact surface in the axial direction of the lancing device;

in a use state, when the tail handle is rotated, the tail handle drives the position of the impact point on the passive impact surface to change in the axial direction of the lancing device, thereby changing the distance between the lancing end face and the impact point on the passive impact surface in the axial direction of the lancing device, thereby adjusting the lancet tip puncture depth;

when the tail handle is pulled backward, the tail handle forces the passive impact surface to contact the active impact surface at the rear of the ejection pin, and drives the ejection pin to move backward relative to the shell, until the ejection pin is loaded and locked;

the tail handle is designed to form a composite mating section with a housing of the shell, and at the composite mating section, one of the tail handle and the housing is provided with a plurality of guide grooves, and the other of the tail handle and the housing is provided with a guide block;

a length direction of the plurality of guide grooves is parallel to the axial direction of the lancing device, each guide groove of the plurality of guide grooves is spaced apart from each other along the circumferential direction of the lancing device;

at the composite mating section, the guide block and the plurality of guide grooves are configured to have a non-mating working state and a mating working state;

in the non-mating working state, the guide block and the plurality of guide grooves are staggered in the axial direction of the lancing device, such that the tail handle rotates relative to the housing in the circumferential direction of the landing device, and

in the mating working state, the guide block and the plurality of guide grooves overlap each other in the axial direction of the lancing device, such that the tail handle slides relative to the housing in the axial direction of the lancing device.

2 . The lancing device according to claim 1 , wherein the passive impact surface is directly formed by the spiral action surface on the tail handle, and
