  • Patent number: 9352083
    Abstract: The invention relates to a drive device for linear movement of an infusion syringe piston of an infusion syringe disposed on an infusion pump comprising a drive head unit including a main bearing means for supporting the infusion syringe piston, a fixing means for securing the infusion syringe piston to the main bearing unit as well as means for triggering the fixing means and comprising an advancing means for the drive head unit including a motor-drivable advancing spindle and a multi-part advancing spindle nut having at least one radially movable nut shell, wherein the drive head unit additionally comprises detecting means for detecting the infusion syringe piston ahead of the main bearing means, the detecting means including a multi-threshold sensor unit comprising an at least two-stage upstream detection means for detecting different positions of the infusion syringe piston ahead of the main bearing means.

  • Patent number: 9289552
    Abstract: A drive device of an infusion syringe piston drive head for moving an infusion syringe piston is described. The device includes an advancing means including an advancing slide, an advancing spindle and a multi-part advancing spindle nut having at least one radially movable nut shell, and a blocking means adapted to be automatically triggered by a control sensor for blocking an infeed motion of the drive head in which the advancing slide is drivable by the advancing spindle nut at the advancing spindle and in which the drive head is arranged at the advancing slide, wherein the blocking means adapted to be automatically triggered by a control sensor includes the multi-part advancing spindle nut for blocking the infeed motion of the drive head on the advancing spindle.

  • Patent number: 7823287
    Abstract: The syringe pump comprises a receiving position for a syringe. The piston plate of the syringe is moved by a drive head which is fastened to a drive rod. For locking the piston rod prior to fixing the piston plate in the drive head, a braking element is provided on a syringe holding head. The syringe holding head further serves for determining the respective syringe size. After placing the syringe holding head against a syringe cylinder, the brake element is actuated to temporarily engage the piston rod and fix it relatively to the syringe cylinder.
