The guide portion has the guide projection connected thereto in a slidably movable manner. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A micro needle driving device in which a micro needle part is mounted at a tip end thereof such that the micro needle part is reciprocally moved, the micro needle driving device comprising: a body having an accommodation space inside thereof; a driving motor that is disposed in the accommodation space; a rotating shaft that is shaft-coupled to a rotary shaft of the driving motor to be rotated and has a guide boss on an outer peripheral surface thereof; and a moving cam assembly to which the micro needle part is coupled and in which at least a part of the rotating shaft is accommodated, wherein the moving cam assembly has a guide having a shape that is curved along a lengthwise direction of the moving cam assembly and disposed on an inner peripheral surface of the moving cam assembly, wherein the guide boss is slidably connected to the guide, wherein the moving cam assembly reciprocally and linearly moves along an inner surface of the body as the rotating shaft rotates, and wherein the rotating shaft has a sliding groove disposed on a front side thereof and the moving cam assembly has a guide pin that is slidably inserted into the sliding groove. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The micro needle driving device of claim 1, wherein the guide is a guide groove that is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the moving cam assembly to draw a closed curve so as to be inclined along the lengthwise direction of the moving cam assembly. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The micro needle driving device of claim 1, wherein the moving cam assembly comprises: a first moving cam into which the rotating shaft is rotatably inserted and a front side of the first moving cam is opened, wherein the first moving cam has a first guide step that protrudes from an inner peripheral surface of the first moving cam to correspond to the curved shape of the guide; and a second moving cam which is coupled to the front side of the first moving cam, wherein the micro needle part is coupled to a front side of the second moving cam and a rear side of the second moving cam is connected to the first moving cam, and wherein the second moving cam has a second guide step that protrudes apart from the first guide step such that the guide is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the moving cam assembly. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The micro needle driving device of claim 3, wherein the first moving cam and the second moving cam are coupled by a coupling pin that passes through the first moving cam and the second moving cam.
