Liquid infusion apparatus
First Claim
1. A liquid infusion apparatus, comprising:
- a main body having an opening;
a door installed on the main body so as to be openable, wherein when the door is closed, the door faces the opening with a liquid infusion tube interposed between the door and the opening and supports the liquid infusion tube;
a finger module comprising a plurality of fingers installed in the main body so as to be movable forward and backward relative to the opening, the fingers moving in conjunction with a cam shaft in a wiggling manner in which the fingers successively move forward to the opening and compress a portion of the liquid infusion tube through the opening;
an elastic member applying elastic force to the finger module and biasing the finger module forward so that the liquid infusion tube is elastically compressed by the fingers; and
cam shaft drive means rotating the cam shaft so that the fingers move in conjunction with the cam shaft in the wiggling manner,wherein the finger module comprises a mounting block provided such that the fingers are able to move in conjunction with the cam shaft in the wiggling manner and compress the liquid infusion tube,wherein the mounting block is mounted to the main body in such a way that the mounting block is able to move forward and backward relative to the opening under guidance of a guide, andthe cam shaft drive means comprises a motor and a power transmission unit transmitting rotational force of the motor to the cam shaft,wherein the motor is installed in the mounting block, and the cam shaft drive means moves along with the finger module forward and backward relative to the opening,wherein the main body comprises a front casing having the opening; and
a rear casing coupled to the front casing,the guide comprises a plurality of guide pins coupled to the front casing and disposed in predetermined portions of the mounting block, andthe elastic member comprises a plurality of elastic members provided around the respective guide pins to bias the mounting block forward.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a liquid infusion apparatus, including: a finger module provided in a main body such that the finger module can elastically move backward from a liquid delivery tube; a tube clamp, in which two clamp bodies spaced apart from each other approach each other by means of restoring force of an elastic member upon the opening of a door during infusion, so as to compress and block the liquid delivery tube; and a tube blockage detection device which detects whether the liquid delivery tube is blocked by a cause, for example, when the outlet-side portion of the liquid delivery tube, which delivers medicinal liquid pumped by a liquid pump during infusion, is bent.
