Background
At present, a speed reduction motor (a direct current motor or a stepping motor) is mostly used in various medical application type infusion pumps (such as an insulin infusion pump, a pituitary hormone infusion pump and the like) to drive a screw rod to push a medicine storage device to realize liquid medicine infusion, and the main structure of the medical application type infusion pump is shown in fig. 1.
When the infusion pump works, the medicine storage device filled with the liquid medicine is arranged in the fixed container and is in close contact with the screw rod through the piston, and the speed reduction motor drives the sliding screw nut to rotate through the gear. Because the screw nut is in a fixed state, the screw rod drives the piston to push forwards under the driving of the screw nut under the reaction force of the screw nut, and the rotary motion of the motor is converted into linear motion, so that the infusion operation of the liquid medicine is realized.
According to the principle analysis of the traditional infusion pump, the traditional infusion pump has the following defects in practical application:
1. the space utilization rate is low.
Because the length of the screw rod is required to be larger than or equal to the length of the medicine storage device, the liquid medicine can be ensured to be infused completely, which means that at least half of the space is occupied by the screw rod propelling mechanism, so that the liquid medicine can not be stored, the liquid medicine storage capacity is low, the space utilization rate of the infusion pump is low, and the waste is serious.
2. Infusion accuracy is difficult to improve.
This kind of medicine storage device contains two major functions of storing up medicine and injection in fact, because the storage dose can not too low, therefore medicine storage device often the sectional area is great, need carry out micro-infusion just must improve gear motor's speed reduction ratio, reduces lead screw silk apart from, but too big lead to the lead screw thrust too big easily of speed reduction ratio, therefore pipeline pressure is great, aggravation is suffered from the pain and is felt.
3. The pump body layout is difficult.
The whole infusion pump comprises a medicine storage device, a propelling mechanism, a speed reduction motor, a circuit board, power supply and other parts, and the medicine storage device and the propelling and injecting mechanism are bound, so that the flexibility of the mechanical structure design of the pump body is reduced, and the optimal design cannot be achieved.
4. The power loss is large.
The traditional mechanical propulsion mechanism and the traditional speed reducing mechanism have low transmission efficiency and large power loss, and especially in the process of converting rotary motion into linear motion, a large amount of energy is converted into friction force and is lost through a heat energy mode, and the power utilization rate is extremely low.
5. The mechanical noise is large.
Because there are motor and mechanical mechanism, the vibration of motor and gear rotation in-process produces the noise easily, not only influences patient's life and work and rest, also reveals patient's privacy easily.
