Device for the controlled piercing of an object and a method for operating the device
First Claim
1. Device for the controlled piercing of an object, particularly the puncturing of a skin, with a drive unit that is configured for the purpose of supplying a drive force, and a piercing system comprising piercing means for piercing the object and which is coupled to the drive unit, so that the drive force for a repetitive forward/return movement of the piercing means is initiated and applied to the piercing means, characterized by a measuring system which is configured for the purpose of determining measuring values for a piercing depth of the piercing means into the object in a measuring operation mode, and a control system coupled to the measuring system and to the drive unit and which is configured for the purpose of setting, for an application operation mode, an extension amplitude for the repetitive forward/return movement of the piercing means which are allocated to a pre-specified piercing depth that is derived from the measuring values determined in the measuring operation mode for the piercing depth.

Abstract
The invention relates to a device and a method for the controlled piercing of an object, particularly for the puncturing of a skin, the device including a drive unit configured for the purpose of supplying a drive force, a piercing system which comprises piercing means for piercing the object and which is coupled to the drive unit so that the drive force is initiated for a repetitive forward/return movement of the piercing means onto the piercing means, a measuring system that is configured for the purpose of determining, in a measuring operation mode, measuring values for a piercing depth of the piercing means into the object, and a control system which is coupled to the measuring system and the drive unit, and is configured for the purpose of setting, for an application operation mode, an extension amplitude for the repetitive forward/return movement of the piercing means, which is allocated to a pre-specified piercing depth which is derived from measuring values for the piercing depth as determined in the measuring operation mode.

a measuring system which is configured for the purpose of determining measuring values for a piercing depth of the piercing means into the object in a measuring operation mode, and a control system coupled to the measuring system and to the drive unit and which is configured for the purpose of setting, for an application operation mode, an extension amplitude for the repetitive forward/return movement of the piercing means which are allocated to a pre-specified piercing depth that is derived from the measuring values determined in the measuring operation mode for the piercing depth.
- 21. Method for operating a device for the controlled piercing of an object in which piercing means enclosed by a piercing system are put into a repetitive forward/return movement for piercing an object by means of a drive unit which supplies a force, characterized in that, in a measuring operation mode by means of a measuring unit, measuring values for a piercing depth of piercing means in an object are measured and, by means of a control system that is coupled to the measuring unit and the drive system, an extension amplitude for an application operation mode is set for the repetitive forwards/return movement of the piercing means, which amplitude is allocated to a pre-specified piercing depth which is derived from measuring values for the piercing depth determined in the measuring operation mode.
