Abstract

A portable infusion device adapted to hold an infusion bag is provided. The infusion bag includes a bag body and an infusion tube connected to the bag. The portable infusion device includes a case, a plate and an elevating mechanism. The case includes an accommodating space for accommodating the bag body. The case has an aperture. The infusion tube is adapted to pass through the aperture. The plate is disposed in the receiving space and is adapted to carry the bag body. The elevating mechanism is disposed in the accommodating space and is movably connected to the case. The plate is fixed on the elevating mechanism. The elevating mechanism is adapted to push the plate to move. The portable infusion device is easily carried in use.

Claims

1. A portable infusion device for accommodating an infusion bag, the infusion bag comprising a bag body and an infusion tube connected to the bag body, the portable infusion device comprising:

a case having an accommodating space for accommodating the bag body, wherein the case comprises an aperture, and the infusion tube is configured to pass through the aperture;

a plate disposed in the accommodating space, configured to carry the bag body and comprising a surface facing a bottom portion of the case, wherein the surface has a first engagement portion; and

an elevating mechanism disposed in the accommodating space, wherein the elevating mechanism comprises;

a first frame having a first side and a second side opposite each other, wherein the first side is connected to a bottom portion of the case;

a second frame having a third side and a fourth side opposite each other, wherein the third side is connected to the plate;

a rotation shaft, wherein the second side of the first frame and the fourth side of the second frame are pivotally connected to the rotation shaft; and

a torque spring sleeving the rotation shaft, wherein two ends of the torque spring are respectively connected to a position between the first side and the second side of the first frame and the fourth side of the second frame, the torque spring is configured to rotate the first frame and the second frame with respect to each other, thereby elevating the plate from a first position to a second position away from the bottom portion of the case;

a locking mechanism configured to lock the plate, thereby fixing the plate at the first position, wherein the locking mechanism comprises;

a fixing element fixed to the bottom portion of the case and having a side wall;

a compression spring, wherein one end of the compression spring abuts the side wall;

a movable engagement element having a second engagement portion, wherein another end of the compression spring abuts the movable engagement element, when the plate moves from the second position to the first position, the first engagement portion pushes the second engagement portion to push the movable engagement element toward the side wall in a first direction and compress the compression spring, when the plate reaches the first position, the first engagement portion release the second engagement portion, and the compression spring pushes the second engagement portion to move in a second direction opposite to the first direction for engaging to the first engagement portion; and

a movable locking element abutting the movable engagement element and configured to move to a locking position and a release position, wherein when the movable locking position moves from the locking position to the release position, the movable locking element pushes the movable engagement element to move in the first direction for disengaging the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion from each other.

2. The portable infusion device according to claim 1, wherein an inner wall of the case is formed with a plurality of guide rail for guiding the plate to move along the guide rails.

3. The portable infusion device according to claim 1, wherein the case includes a bottom box and a cover, the bottom box has an opening, and the cover is pivotally connected to the bottom box and configured to cover the opening.

4. The portable infusion device according to claim 3, wherein the case further comprises a locking element arranged at a side wall of the bottom box for fixing the cover to the bottom box.

5. The portable infusion device according to claim 1, wherein a side wall of the case is formed with a window, and the window is proximal to a top portion of the case opposite the plate.

6. The portable infusion device according to claim 1, further comprising a shoulder strap, wherein the case has a plurality of hanging hole for the shoulder strap to pass through.
