Needle-free connector
View Patent ↗A needle-free connector including a guiding base, a connecting base, a valve member, and a seal member is provided. The guiding base has a conduit, and the conduit extends downward along an axial direction. The connecting base is disposed on the guiding base and has a screw portion and a passage running through the screw portion. A chamber is formed between the guiding base and the connecting base, and the conduit and the passage respectively communicate with the chamber along the axial direction. The valve member is disposed between the guiding base and the connecting base, and is movably located in the chamber. The seal member is disposed at an end of the valve member far away from the conduit, and the seal member and the valve member are adapted to be connected into a whole in a manufacturing process.
1. A needle-free connector adapted to be connected to a syringe, the needle-free connector comprising:
a guiding base comprising a conduit, the conduit extending downward along an axial direction;
a connecting base disposed on the guiding base and comprising a screw portion and a passage running through the screw portion, a chamber being formed between the guiding base and the connecting base, and the conduit and the passage respectively communicating with the chamber along the axial direction;
a valve member disposed between the guiding base and the connecting base and movably located in the chamber; and
a seal member disposed at an end of the valve member far away from the conduit, the seal member and the valve member adapted to be formed as a single piece in a manufacturing process, wherein, the seal member has a water breaking portion disposed on a top surface facing the passage of the connecting base, the syringe is in contact with the top surface of the seal member and surrounds the water breaking portion,
wherein the seal member is used for sealing the passage of the connecting base, when the syringe penetrates from the passage, the seal member is pushed to drive the valve member to move downward, so that the seal member is displaced into the chamber to unseal the passage, a liquid medicine is adapted to flow into the chamber through the syringe, and when the syringe is separated from the passage, the valve member is adapted to drive the seal member to upward move to an initial position;
wherein, the valve member comprises a support portion, a flow-through portion, and an elastic portion, the support portion is disposed in the connecting base and is connected to the seal member, the flow-through portion is disposed in the guiding base and is aligned with the conduit, the elastic portion is disposed between the support portion and the flow-through portion, and the elastic portion is adapted to outward push the support portion and the flow-through portion;
wherein, the support portion has a locking block, the seal member has a groove, and the locking block is disposed in the groove to connect the support portion and the seal member.
2. The needle-free connector according to claim 1 , wherein the water breaking portion comprises a lug protruding upward along the axial direction from a center of the top surface.
3. The needle-free connector according to claim 1 , wherein the support portion and the seal member are formed as a single piece.
4. The needle-free connector according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting base comprises a first inner ring surface, and an inner diameter of the first inner ring surface gradually increases toward the conduit.
5. The needle-free connector according to claim 1 , wherein the guiding base comprises a second inner ring surface, and an inner diameter of the second inner ring surface is equidistantly arranged.
6. The needle-free connector according to claim 1 , wherein the water breaking portion comprises a plurality of arc-shaped blocks which are respectively disposed on the top surface and extend outward along a radial direction.
7. The needle-free connector according to claim 1 , wherein the seal member has a plurality of deformation grooves formed in an outer ring wall of the seal member at intervals.
