Abstract

A drug pressuring and delivering system has an internal quantitative pusher for providing stable and precise drug delivery, and a drug pressuring and delivering device for introducing a compression gas for pressuring and ejecting a drug into an atomized drug. The quantitative pusher adopts a bidirectional motor for driving a screw rod to rotate forward or reversely to push the push rod forward or backward, such that the drug is delivered through a solenoid and a drug delivering needle in a cylinder drug delivering pipe and then quantitatively delivered to a drug delivery pressuring tube. In addition, an introduced mainstream gas in the drug delivery pressuring tube forms a gas-liquid mixing and pressuring action to achieve the precisely quantitative and uniform atomization high speed ejection function. Also, all members of the invention can be assembled/disassembled, so that the damaged or contaminated members can be detached, cleaned or replaced.

Claims

1. A drug pressuring and delivering system, comprising:

a drug pressuring and delivering device, which comprises one set of an upper cover and a base matching with each other, a drug delivery pressuring tube having a circumferential surface formed with a combination portion, and a fixed receptacle externally connected to a mainstream gas source in the form of a tube, so that the mainstream gas source is inputted at a high pressure; and

a quantitative pusher, which comprises one set of an upper cover and a housing seat matching with each other, a screw rod quantitative pusher, a cylindrical drug delivering pipe and a baffle, wherein the screw rod quantitative pusher has one end connected to a screw rod of a bidirectional motor and the other end fixed to a movable block, a fixing sheet is fixed to one side of the movable block so that a micro switch and a circuit board can be electrically connected thereto and disposed thereon, a push rod holding device is pivotally mounted on the movable block, the cylindrical drug delivering pipe is composed of a drug delivering needle and a push rod, a front end of the drug delivering needle is clamped and positioned by a receptacle fixed to a combination portion, the baffle is disposed between the cylindrical drug delivering pipe and the screw rod quantitative pusher and has a surface formed with a supporting seat, an axial guiding slot and a radial accommodating slot connected to the axial guiding slot, the supporting seat is provided such that the drug delivering needle of the cylindrical drug delivering pipe is stably disposed, and the accommodating slot allows the push rod holding device to penetrate therethrough and makes an engagement portion, pivotally connected to the movable block, to move in the guiding slot,

wherein the circuit board controls the bidirectional motor to drive the screw rod to rotate forward or reversely to drive the push rod holding device to push or pull the push rod forward or backward, so that quantitative delivery and drug pressuring and ejecting are achieved.

2. The system according to claim 1, wherein a solenoid, having an electrically controlled opening-closing function, is disposed on an outlet end of the drug delivering needle, to prevent a gas and a drug in the pressuring tube from flowing back.

3. The system according to claim 1, wherein a top of a body of the push rod holding device has a half-moon opening, and two guiding slots formed on two opposite inner sides thereof, so that a movable presser can be embedded with the guiding slots, a bottom of the body of the push rod holding device has a projecting engagement portion, one side of a top of the movable presser has a projection for triggering the micro switch, two lateral sides of the movable presser are formed with opposite supports with hooks, and a stopper sheet and an elastic member are disposed in the guiding slot.

4. The system according to claim 3, wherein the stopper sheet and the elastic member of the push rod holding device are integrally made of a plastic material.

5. The system according to claim 1, wherein each of the set of the upper cover and the base of the drug pressuring and delivering device and the set of the upper cover and the housing seat of the quantitative pusher are connected together by pivotal connection or tongue connection, so that element cleaning, updating or replacing can be performed conveniently.
