Abstract

A device for rapidly loading and releasing a syringe. A limiting flange and clamping flange are on an outer side wall of an end, connected to the device, of the syringe. The clamping flange is close to a rear end of the syringe. The device includes an injection head. An outer collar, middle plate, and inner collar are sequentially inside the injection head. The outer collar includes an upper and lower part that are disposed up and down. The inner collar includes an upper part of the inner collar and a lower part of the inner collar that are disposed up and down. Elastic structures are between the upper part of the inner collar and injection head and between the lower part of the inner collar and injection head. The injector syringe can be loaded onto the device and taken out rapidly if the syringe is rotated.

Claims

1. A device for rapidly loading and releasing a syringe, wherein:

a limiting flange and a clamping flange are disposed on an outer side wall of a connection end of a syringe, the clamping flange is close to a rear end of the connection end of the syringe, and an outer circle of the limiting flange is of an oval shape;

the device includes an injection head, an outer collar, a middle plate, and an inner collar which are disposed sequentially inside the injection head;

the outer collar includes an upper part of the outer collar and a lower part of the outer collar that are disposed up and down;

the inner collar includes an upper part of the inner collar and a lower part of the inner collar that are disposed up and down, and elastic structures are disposed between the upper part of the inner collar and the injection head and between the lower part of the inner collar and the injection head;

during loading, the syringe is inserted into the injection head, the clamping flange passes through the outer collar and the middle plate and then pushes the inner collar away, the upper part of the inner collar moves upwards, and the lower part of the inner collar moves downwards;

after the clamping flange passes through the inner collar, under the action of the elastic structures, the upper part of the inner collar and the lower part of the inner collar are restored, a side of the clamping flange abuts on a side of the inner collar, and a side of the limiting flange abuts on the middle plate, so that the syringe is positioned along an axial direction;

the upper part of the outer collar and the lower part of the outer collar are fixed, an inner circle of the outer collar formed by the upper part of the outer collar and the lower part of the outer collar is of an oval shape matching the outer circle of the limiting flange, and the limiting flange is fit into the oval-shaped inner circle of the outer collar; and

during releasing, the syringe is rotated, the limiting flange pushes to enable the upper part of the outer collar and the lower part of the outer collar to respectively move upwards and downwards, the upper part of the outer collar and the lower part of the outer collar respectively drive, by means of connection pieces, the upper part of the inner collar and the lower part of the inner collar to move upwards and downwards;

the inner collar is opened, the clamping flange is moved outwards to be disengaged from the inner collar, to release the syringe;

at the same time, the limiting flange is disengaged from the outer collar, and under the action of the elastic structures, the inner collar and the outer collar are restored, wherein the connection pieces comprise bosses disposed on sides, facing the middle plate, of the upper part of the outer collar and the lower part of the outer collar, first pocket holes are disposed on corresponding locations on the middle plate, second pocket holes are disposed on corresponding locations on the upper part of the inner collar and the lower part of the inner collar, the bosses pass through the first pocket holes and the second pocket holes, and the bosses can move upwards and downwards relative to the first pocket holes and the second pocket holes.

2. The device for rapidly loading and releasing a syringe according to claim 1, wherein a difference between a major semi axis and a minor semi axis of the outer circle of the limiting flange is greater than a movable distance of the upper part of the outer collar and the lower part of the outer collar.

3. The device for rapidly loading and releasing a syringe according to claim 1, wherein a side, facing away from the limiting flange, of the clamping flange is a first ramp, a second ramp is disposed on an inner circle of the inner collar, and when the clamping flange pushes the inner collar away, the first ramp slides along the second ramp.

4. The device for rapidly loading and releasing a syringe according to claim 1, wherein a chamfer is disposed on a side, facing away from the middle plate, of the inner circle of the outer collar.

5. The device for rapidly loading and releasing a syringe according to claim 1, wherein before loading, the bosses are close to inner sides of the first pocket holes and close to outer sides of the second pocket holes.

6. The device for rapidly loading and releasing a syringe according to claim 1, wherein an outer circle of the clamping flange is round.

7. The device for rapidly loading and releasing a syringe according to claim 1, wherein a round through hole is disposed at the center of the middle plate, a diameter of the round through hole is greater than an outer diameter of the clamping flange, and is less than a length of a long axis of the outer circle of the limiting flange.

8. The device for rapidly loading and releasing a syringe according to claim 1, wherein a limiting step hole is disposed on a side, facing the syringe, of the injection head, a slot communicating with the limiting step hole is disposed on an other side, and the outer collar, the middle plate, and the inner collar are installed inside the slot.

9. The device for rapidly loading and releasing a syringe according to claim 1, further comprising a guide sleeve, used to implement connection between the device for rapidly loading and releasing a syringe and an injector.

10. The device for rapidly loading and releasing a syringe according to claim 9, wherein one end of the guide sleeve is connected to the injection head, the other end is connected to the injector;

a guide sleeve inner hole is disposed on the guide sleeve along an axial direction, the guide sleeve inner hole is communicating with the inner collar, and the rear end of the connection end of the syringe passes through the inner collar and then stretches into the guide sleeve inner hole.

11. The device for rapidly loading and releasing a syringe according to claim 10, wherein the guide sleeve inner hole is in clearance fit with an outside of the rear end of the connection end of the syringe.

12. An assembly comprising the device for rapidly loading and releasing the syringe of claim 1, and a syringe.

13. The assembly according to claim 12, wherein a side, facing away from the limiting flange, of the clamping flange is a ramp.
