Abstract

Disclosed is a delivery apparatus for medical fluid, in which a body is fabricated in a box shape and a cover is detachably coupled to the body, thereby facilitating the repairing work for the delicate malfunction of the apparatus and a fluctuation-prevention member is provided such that a syringe makes a vertical movement after the installation of the syringe even if the body is fabricated in the box shape.

Claims

1. A delivery apparatus for medical fluid fabricated in a box type with a syringe, the delivery apparatus comprising:

a case including a body, an upper portion of which is open and in which a battery receptacle and a syringe receptacle are integrally formed;

a gear box driven by a motor and including a rotating shaft for rotatably engaging with a moveable shaft is introduced into and withdrawn from a syringe receptacle;

a cover with a recess;

a keypad for controlling an operation of the moveable shaft is installed in the recess of the cover and is fixed by a pressing part and a cover plate, and the cover and the body are screw-fastened in a state in which coupling protrusions and thereof are engaged with each other such that the cover is detachably coupled with the body;

a protruding rim having a flange formed at an edge of a rubber pad covering a substrate of the keypad received in the recess; and

a recess rim and a support surface formed on an outer peripheral surface of the recess such that the recess rim and support surface are engaged with the protruding rim, thereby increasing surface tension due to a double-engagement and enhancing a water-proof function,

wherein the gear box has a supporting guide formed on the body making contact with the gear box to prevent vibration caused by a rotation of the motor from being transferred into the moveable shaft, and wherein a predetermined gap is formed between the gear box and the body to absorb vibration in a case where the gear box comes close to contacting the body.

2. The delivery apparatus of claim 1, further comprising:

a stopper formed at a lower portion of the body forming the case such that the stopper is engaged with an engagement part of the gear box having the movable shaft which allows a packing part of a cylinder of the syringe, which is housed in the syringe receptacle, to precisely perform a vertical movement, so that the movable shaft is prevented from being fluctuated when the motor operates and when the rotating shaft protruding through the engagement part rotates.

3. The delivery apparatus of claim 1, wherein the movable shaft has a guide wing screw-coupled to the rotating shaft, and the movable shaft is engaged with a perforation part and a guide groove of the syringe receptacle, so that only the movable shaft makes a precise vertical movement when the rotating shaft rotates.

4. The delivery apparatus of claim 1, wherein only the packing part prepared in the cylinder makes up/down movements in a state in which the movable shaft is inserted into the cylinder of the syringe and the guide wing of the movable shaft is coupled to an embedded part of the packing part.

5. The delivery apparatus of claim 1, wherein the delivery apparatus can perform a waterproof treatment relative to a key pad for operating the motor of the gear box, the deliver apparatus further comprising:

a connecting hole formed in the recess for a signal connection with the substrate of the key pad,

wherein, the recess has a predetermined depth that is deep enough to receive the key pad.

6. The delivery apparatus of claim 1, wherein coupling the body with the cover comprises:

a stepped protrusion formed at an outer peripheral portion of an upper rim of the body;

a packing groove rim formed on the cover for surrounding a protruding rim defined by the stepped protrusion, wherein the protruding rim is pressed in a state in which a packing is embedded in the packing groove rim;

an outer rim of the cover on the stepped protrusion; and

an inner rim of the cover making contact between an inner wall of the body.

7. The delivery apparatus of claim 1, wherein, fastening the cap with a predetermined fastening force comprises:

an entrance part and an inclined guide groove formed on a cap-coupling part of the body;

a stopper formed at one end of the inclined guide groove, wherein a guide protrusion formed on the cap is introduced into the entrance part which moves along the inclined guide groove to make contact with the stopper while providing a predetermined pressing force, thereby preventing the cap-coupling part of the body from being damaged.
