Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tube cutting tools, in particular to a tube cutter with a quick-change blade. Background Art

[0002] A catheter cutter is a tool specifically designed for cutting or trimming various types of catheters, such as medical catheters and industrial hoses. Currently, most catheter cutters on the market are rectangular or circular in shape, and typically utilize internal springs or torsion springs to return the blades. This results in a poor, mechanical feel and a heavy, non-soft feel when pressed. Existing products often lack finger rests and anti-slip features, making them difficult to grip. Some are also bulky and inconvenient. Some products only have a single hole for cutting, limiting the size of the cut. Using a large hole to cut thin tubing can easily result in uneven cuts, leading to catheter failure. Some catheter cutters also have complex structures, with internal springs and torsion springs prone to misalignment or rust, leading to product failure. Furthermore, the high precision of component alignment during assembly makes assembly difficult and increases production costs. Furthermore, the internal blades wear out easily due to repeated use, shortening the lifespan of the catheter cutter.

[0003] For example, the patent with the publication (announcement) number CN213731906U is named as a tube cutter for disposable sterile peripherally inserted central venous catheter sets. The lower part of the tube cutter is provided with multiple cutting channels of different sizes for inserting catheters of different sizes. The cutting blade is arranged in the blade gap in the box body and is rotatably connected to the horizontal axis. The torsion spring gives the cutting blade an upward rebound force. The top pressure column slides downward in the sliding cavity to provide a downward cutting force for the cutting blade. The blade at the front end of the cutting blade moves downward to cut the catheter in the lower cutting channel. After the cutting is completed, the cutting blade automatically rebounds upward and leaves the cutting channel.

[0004] For example, the patent with the publication (announcement) number CN221314284U is named as a medical catheter cutting device, which includes a catheter limiting plate, an arc-shaped connecting rod and a blade. The catheter to be cut is positioned using the catheter hole on the catheter limiting plate so that the catheter can be stably located in the catheter hole. Then the medical staff holds the arc-shaped connecting rod and presses down, so that the blade moves in the vertical direction without deviation. The blade cuts the catheter in the catheter hole, ensuring that the catheter cut by the blade is flat and smooth, avoiding damage to the patient's blood vessels during the catheter insertion process.

[0010] The position and structure of the positioning groove and the blade positioning post are symmetrically arranged with respect to the blade guide post and the guide hole. The blade can be flipped over for use, utilizing different parts of the blade edge. This allows full utilization of every part of the blade and extends the service life of the blade. The structure inside the housing is simplified, and the blade installation and disassembly methods are optimized, making blade replacement quick and easy, reducing work interruption time caused by blade replacement. The elastically connected arc-shaped connecting rod provides power for resetting the blade assembly. The cooperation between the blade positioning post and the positioning groove ensures that the blade is installed in the correct position, avoiding inaccurate cutting caused by position offset. The sliding cooperation between the blade guide post and the guide hole ensures the stability of the blade during movement, which helps to achieve straight cutting.

[0011] Optionally, the guide hole is a waist-shaped hole, and the length direction of the guide hole is parallel to the elastic movement direction of the arc-shaped connecting rod.

[0012] The waist-shaped hole design allows the blade to move freely within a certain range, increasing the flexibility of the blade movement. When the arc-shaped connecting rod extends or contracts, the blade guide column of the blade can move accordingly in the waist-shaped hole, ensuring the stability of the blade during cutting.

[0013] Optionally, the shell body is provided with a plurality of catheter cutting holes of different diameters.

[0014] The housing is equipped with multiple conduit cutting holes of varying diameters to accommodate conduits of varying diameters. Each cutting hole has a specific diameter, ensuring optimal support and stability when cutting conduits of corresponding diameters.

[0016] The conduit cutting hole is provided with a tapered guide surface, which gradually narrows from the hole opening inward. The design of the tapered guide surface makes it easier to insert the conduit into the cutting hole and can automatically align the conduit.

[0017] Optionally, the top of the arc-shaped connecting rod is provided with an upper anti-slip groove.

[0018] The top of the arc-shaped connecting rod is provided with an upper anti-slip groove, which is a horizontal or vertical groove or protrusion, and is used to increase the friction between the hand and the top of the arc-shaped connecting rod.

[0019] Optionally, the bottom of the shell is provided with lower anti-slip grooves.

[0020] Used to increase the friction between the hand and the bottom of the arc connecting rod.

[0021] Optionally, the blade component is provided with a side protective shell, and the side protective shell is engaged with the side surface of the blade body.

[0022] The side guards effectively prevent the blade from accidentally scratching the operator's fingers or other parts during use. They provide an additional safety barrier when changing blades or performing other maintenance, reducing the risk of injury. The side guards also increase the blade's overall rigidity, making it more stable during cutting and reducing vibration and wiggle. This stability improves cutting accuracy and quality.

[0023] Optionally, outer surfaces of the shell body and the arc-shaped connecting rod are provided with rounded corner structures.

[0024] The outer surfaces of the housing and curved connecting rod are designed with rounded corners, eliminating sharp angles and adopting smooth, curved transitions. This rounded design effectively reduces accidental scratches and collisions that can damage hands and other parts of the body during use. Smooth edges provide enhanced protection, especially during rapid operation or emergencies.
