BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

(1) FIG. 1 is a structural schematic showing a safety blood-collection needle according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

(2) FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line A-A in FIG. 1.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

(3) The following examples further illustrate the present invention, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

(4) With reference to the Figures, preferred embodiments are provided to illustrate technical solution of the present invention. However, it does not mean to limit the present invention within the scope of these embodiments.

(5) Various embodiments are provided to illustrate the present invention. However, it does not mean to limit the present invention within the scope of these embodiments. FIG. 1 is a structural schematic showing a safety blood-collection needle according to the present embodiment and FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line A-A in FIG. 1. As shown in FIGS. 1-2, a safety blood-collection needle according to the present embodiment includes a needle seat 1, a needle guard 2, hose 4, a straight needle 12, a handle 13, a straight needle handle 14, a protective shield 15, a protective cover 3, needle head 6 and slider 5, and the needle guard 2 covers the needle head 6, and the needle seat 1 is a cylinder having two opened ends, and one end of the needle seat 1 communicates with the hose 4 through the protective cover 3, and the other end of the needle seat 1 is provided with the needle head 6. Two ends of the hose 4 communicate with the straight needle 12 and the needle seat 1 respectively.

(6) The straight needle handle 14 is disposed at the connection between the straight needle 12 and the hose 4, and the straight needle 12 is inserted into a vacuum tube.

(7) The slider 5 is a cylinder having two opened ends and covers the needle seat 1 movably, and the length of the slider 5 in a movable direction is larger than the length of the needle head 6.

(8) The axial length of the needle seat 1 is larger than the length of the needle head 6.

(9) The protective cover 3 is engaged with the needle seat 1 by means of covering and is secured to the needle seat 1, and the protective cover 3, together with the needle seat 1, surround and form a cavity to accommodate the slider 5.

(10) The handle 13 is integrally formed on the protective cover 3. The handle 13 abuts against the slider 5.

(11) The inner diameter of the protective shield 15 is larger than the outer diameter of the vacuum tube. The protective shield 15 covers the straight needle 12 and is fixed on the straight needle handle 14 by screwing.

(12) The safety blood-collection needle according to the present embodiment further includes a retaining mechanism, and the retaining mechanism includes an elastic fastener 8 and a plurality of slots 81, 82.

(13) the plurality of slots 81, 82 are disposed on the needle seat 1, and the elastic fastener 8 is disposed on the slider 5, when the slider 5 slides to a position where it completely shelters the needle head 6 or a position where the needle head 6 is completely exposed, the plurality of slots 81, 82 are used to engage with the elastic fastener 8 to limit the movement of the slider 5.

(14) A passage is formed in the protective cover 3, in which one end of the passage is fixed to outer periphery of one end of the needle seat 1 away from the needle head 6 by screwing, and the other end of the passage communicates with the hose 4.

(15) Furthermore, the slider 5 is provided with anti-slip area 7, which is a groove-shape configuration with serrate pattern inside, thereby facilitating pushing the slider 5 by fingers while increasing contact area.

(16) The slider 5 is made by elastic material, which integrates with the elastic fastener 8, and the protective cover 3 integrates with the plurality of slots 81, 82, the slider 5 is provided with several hollowed-out areas (not shown in Figures) thereon.

(17) In the safety blood-collection needle of the present embodiment, the needle seat 1 is longer than the needle head 6. In this way, the cylindrical slider 5 can slide back and forth on the needle seat 1, to switch between a status in which the needle head 6 is sheltered by the slider 5 and a status in which the needle head 6 is completely exposed.

(18) In use, under an initial status where the slider is fixed to the needle seat 1 by engagement of the slot 81 and the elastic fastener 8, (a status where the needle head 6 is completely exposed), the needle guard 2 is removed and blood is collected; after the blood collection is completed, the fixation of the slider 5 with the needle seat 1 is released, and the slider 5 slides towards the needle head 6 until the slider 5 completely shelters the needle head 6 (as shown in FIGS. 1-2), at this time the slider 5 is fixed on the needle seat 1 once again (by engagement of the slot 82 and the elastic fastener 8). In this way, since the needle head 6 can be sheltered without putting on the needle guard 2 once again, the safety is improved greatly.

(19) Although the present invention has been described with reference to certain preferred version thereof, other versions and variations are possible and contemplated. Those skilled in the art should appreciate that they can readily use the disclosed conception and specific embodiments as a basis for designing or modifying other structures for providing the same purposes of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the following claims. For example, instead of the engagement structure such as the elastic fastener and the plurality of slots, an elastic washer can be employed to fasten the slider on the needle seat, these variation and modification fall into the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention is defined by claims.
