Abstract

The disclosed technology generally relates to medical devices, and more particularly to a chemical fluid injection device. In an aspect, a chemical fluid injection device is configured to recognize whether a needle attached to a needle holder is inserted into a patient by sliding the needle holder and sensing whether the needle holder is adjacent to a needle penetration hole.

Claims (44)

1. A chemical fluid injection device comprising:

a casing including a needle penetration hole;

a button exposed outside the casing;

a needle holder located in the casing and configured to be coupled to a needle, the needle holder facing the needle penetration hole and configured to be driven toward the needle penetration hole by actuation of the button;

a spring between the button and the needle holder;

a guiding member provided in the casing and configured to selectively support the needle holder;

a sensor located in the casing and configured to sense whether the needle holder is adjacent to the needle penetration hole; and

a controller electrically connected to the sensor;

wherein the needle holder is:

configured to be driven toward the needle penetration hole by elasticity of the spring by activation of the button, and

configured to be rotatable by rotation of the button by a user, and

wherein the needle holder comprises:

a first support supported by the guiding member in a first state where the needle holder is not rotated, and

a guiding recess configured such that support with respect to the guiding member is released from the first state in a second state where the needle holder has been rotated and accordingly the needle holder receives elasticity of the spring.

2. The chemical fluid injection device of claim 1 , wherein the sensor comprises:

a first sensing member adjacent to the needle penetration hole; and

a second sensing member coupled to the needle holder and facing the first sensing member.

3. The chemical fluid injection device of claim 1 , further comprising an alarm device electrically connected to the sensor and configured to generate an alarm when the needle holder is adjacent to the needle penetration hole.

4. The chemical fluid injection device of claim 1 , wherein the controller comprises:

a first processor configured to control injection of a chemical fluid through the needle; and

a second processor configured to determine, using the sensor, whether the needle holder is adjacent to the needle penetration hole, and to cause the injection of the chemical fluid using the first processor when the needle holder is adjacent to the needle penetration hole.

5. A chemical fluid injection device comprising:

a casing including a base in which a needle penetration hole is formed;

a needle holder located in the casing and configured to be coupled to a needle, the needle holder being configured to be driven toward the needle penetration hole, and configured to be rotatable by rotation of a button exposed outside the casing by a user;

a guiding member provided in the casing and configured to selectively support the needle holder;

a sensor located in the casing and configured to sense whether the needle holder is adjacent to the needle penetration hole; and

a controller electrically connected to the sensor;

wherein the needle holder is apart from the base in a first state and is adjacent to the needle penetration hole in a second state;

wherein the controller is:

configured to determine whether the needle holder is adjacent to the needle penetration hole in the second state, and

configured to control a chemical fluid to be injected through the needle only when the needle holder is adjacent to the needle penetration hole;

wherein the needle holder is configured to be rotatable by rotation of a button; and

wherein the needle holder comprises:

a first support supported by the guiding member in a first state where the needle holder is not rotated, and

a guiding recess adjacent to the first support and configured such that the guiding member passes through the guiding recess from the first state in a second state where the needle holder has been rotated and accordingly support with respect to the guiding member is released.

6. The chemical fluid injection device of claim 5 , wherein the sensor comprises:

a first sensing member adjacent to the needle penetration hole; and

a second sensing member coupled to the needle holder and facing the first sensing member.

7. The chemical fluid injection device of claim 5 , further comprising an alarm device electrically connected to the sensor and configured to generate an alarm when the needle holder is adjacent to the needle penetration hole in the second state.

8. The chemical fluid injection device of claim 5 , wherein the controller comprises:

a first processor configured to control injection of the chemical fluid through the needle; and

a second processor configured to perform the injection of the chemical fluid using the first processor when the needle holder is adjacent to the needle penetration hole in the second state.

9. The chemical fluid injection device of claim 5 , further comprising a spring configured to support the needle holder,

wherein the needle holder is configured to be driven toward the needle penetration hole by elasticity of the spring when the needle holder is switched from the first state to the second state.
