Abstract

An infusion solution injecting pump device with the pump control means which is so arranged that various infusion patterns are stored in a memory responding to a predetermined cycle, that the cycle setting of the infusion pattern is adjustable by a convenient timer means and step control means and that the thus-programmed infusion volume data is conveniently converted into pump driving signals to control the pumping operation.

Claims

1. An infusion solution injecting pump device comprising pump means, timer control means, step data input means, memory means, volume data input means, and pump control means, said volume data input means supplying solution infusion volume data to said memory means for storage, said memory means including shift registers for storage of said solution infusion volume data and a data latch circuit, said step data input means providing a step data signal of solution infusion pattern to said timer control means as a controlling signal, said timer control means including a timer oscillator for generating a given timer signal, a frequency converter for converting said timer signal into a pulse signal having a frequency proportional to the step data and a frequency demultiplier for demultiplying the frequency of the pulse signal, said memory means transmitting the volume data stored in the memory successively to the data latch circuit under the controlling signal from the timer control signal cooperating with said controlling signal to supply said volume data to said pump control means in the event the injecting volume of said pump changes, said pump control means including a motor and said pump control means converting volume data signal into a motor driving signal, and said timer control means and said pump control means responding to start and stop signals in the device.

2. The device in accordance with claim 1, wherein said pump control means includes a converting circuit for converting said volume data signal into a predetermined infusion level signal.

3. The device in accordance with claim 1, wherein said pump control means includes a converting circuit for converting said volume data signal into a predetermined infusion time rate signal.

4. The device in accordance with claim 1, wherein said pump control means includes spring driving means for transmitting spring tension to a revolving body of said pump means, and further comprising a gear train and a governor gear for controlling the rotation rate of said revolving body, said governor gear being connected to a driving shaft of said motor of said pump control means.

5. The device in accordance with claim 4, wherein said governor gear includes a worm and a worm gear, and further including a worm gear shaft connected to said motor selectively through reduction means.

6. The device in accordance with claim 4, wherein said governor gear comprises a Geneva gear having a plurality of grooves, said gear partially engaging a revolving means, said revolving means being connected with said motor selectively through a reduction means.
