Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medical device manufacturing, in particular to an egg-holding needle tip processing device and method, and more particularly to a micro-operation egg-holding needle tip processing device and method. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the production of egg-holding needles in China requires four steps: breaking, closing, and bending. Currently, the needle-making equipment used in China separates these three steps, each performed on a separate piece of equipment. This increases labor time and makes it difficult to control precision. Furthermore, traditional equipment relies on visual inspection of the needle tip's production process, making it difficult to guarantee the success rate of the needle tip (or needle blank).

[0003] Patent document CN 214977352 U discloses a device for rapidly bending a needle tip, comprising an equipment box, a bending platform, a servo motor, a rotating rod, and a limit assembly. The bending platform is rotatably connected to the upper end of the equipment box, the servo motor is mounted on the inner bottom wall of the equipment box, the rotating rod is plugged into the upper end of the bending platform, the lower end of the rotating rod passes through the bending platform and plugs into the output shaft of the servo motor, and the limit assembly is mounted inside the rotating rod. However, this solution only includes the bending step in the needle tip production process. The other steps in the egg-holding needle production process are still performed separately from the bending step, and manual adjustment of the needle tip position and angle is required in each step. This still results in low egg-holding needle production efficiency and waste of manpower. Summary of the Invention

[0060] DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0061] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. The following examples will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention in any form. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several changes and improvements can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. These all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0062] Holding needle is an indispensable tool for ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) in the field of assisted reproduction. The present invention provides a needle tip processing device for holding needle, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, it includes a clamping mechanism 1, a processing mechanism 2, and a monitoring and operating mechanism;

[0063] The clamping mechanism 1 is used to clamp the needle tip 100 and drive the needle tip 100 to move between the first position and the second position;

[0064] like Figure 4-Figure 5As shown, the processing mechanism 2 is provided with a closing component 21, a needle breaking component 23, a bending component 24 and a processing electric rotary slide 25; preferably, the processing electric rotary slide 25 is a high-precision electric rotary slide.

[0065] The closing assembly 21, the needle breaking assembly 23, and the bending assembly 24 are all mounted on the processing electric rotary slide 25, and the closing assembly 21, the needle breaking assembly 23, and the bending assembly 24 are distributed along the circumference of the processing electric rotary slide 25; the processing electric rotary slide 25 can drive the closing assembly 21, the needle breaking assembly 23, and the bending assembly 24 to rotate to the third position respectively;

[0066] The second position corresponds to the third position;

[0067] When the needle tip 100 is in the second position and the closing assembly 21 is in the third position, the egg-holding needle tip processing apparatus is in a closing state; the closing assembly 21 closes the needle tip 100 (or needle blank). When the needle tip 100 is in the second position and the breaking assembly 23 is in the third position, the egg-holding needle tip processing apparatus is in a breaking state; the breaking assembly 23 breaks the needle tip 100. When the needle tip 100 is in the second position and the bending assembly 24 is in the third position, the egg-holding needle tip processing apparatus is in a bending state; the bending assembly 24 bends the needle tip 100. The first position is the position of the needle tip 100 when clamped by the clamping mechanism 1 and furthest from the processing mechanism 2. The second position is the position of the needle tip 100 when processing the processing mechanism 2 and being processed by the processing mechanism 2.

[0068] The closing assembly 21 includes a closing station 211 and a closing component. When the egg-holding needle tip processing device is in the closing state, the needle tip 100 is located on the closing station 211, and the closing component interacts with the needle tip 100 to achieve the closing operation. The breaking assembly 23 includes a breaking station 231 and a breaking component. When the egg-holding needle tip processing device is in the breaking state, the needle tip 100 is located on the breaking station 231, and the breaking component interacts with the needle tip 100 to achieve the breaking operation. The bending assembly 24 includes a bending station 241 and a bending component. When the egg-holding needle tip processing device is in the bending state, the needle tip 100 is located on the bending station 241, and the bending component interacts with the needle tip 100 to achieve the bending operation.

[0069] The closing operation is to process the needle tip into a rounded needle tip. In a preferred embodiment, the closing operation can be achieved as follows: by continuously heating a glass bead, the needle tip is slowly softened and contracted to form a rounded needle tip. The principle and structure of the closing operation are as follows: a V-shaped platinum wire is vertically connected between two copper pieces, with the top of the V-shaped platinum wire facing upward. A round glass bead larger than the outer diameter of the needle tip is made at the vertical center of the top of the V-shaped platinum wire. The closed needle blank is placed vertically above the glass bead. By continuously heating the glass bead through power supply, the glass bead is kept in a continuously energized state. The needle blank is slowly moved so that it gradually approaches the glass bead, causing the needle tip to soften and contract to form a rounded needle tip. In addition, the closing operation can also be achieved by using a closing structure that already exists in the prior art.

[0070] The needle breaking operation is to process the needle tip into a needle tip with a smooth fracture. In a preferred embodiment, the needle breaking operation can be implemented in the following manner: a special micro needle breaking motor is used to push the blade to scratch a mark on the outer wall of the needle tip, and then the three-axis electric moving structure 16 is used to provide a downward force to break the needle tip from the scratch, forming a needle tip with a smooth fracture. The principle and structure of the needle breaking operation are as follows: the needle blank that needs to be broken is fixed on the clamping mechanism 1, the clamping mechanism 1 is adjusted to place the needle tip flatly on the needle breaking station 231, the pressure plate is adjusted to press the needle tip, the cutting knife is pushed to pass through the lower edge of the needle blank, a scratch is made on the needle blank, and the three-axis electric moving structure 16 is adjusted to allow the needle tip to generate an upward force, so that the needle tip breaks from the scratch. In addition, the needle breaking operation can also be implemented using the existing needle breaking structure in the prior art.

[0071] The bending operation is the process of bending the needle tip to form a needle tip of different angles. In a preferred embodiment, the bending operation can be achieved as follows: by continuously heating the glass bead, the needle tip is slowly softened and bent to form a needle tip of different angles. The principle and structure of the bending operation are as follows: a V-shaped platinum wire is connected to the vertical surface between two copper pieces to form a resistance wire. A round glass bead larger than the outer diameter of the needle tip is made at the vertical center position of the top of the V-shaped platinum wire. The bent needle blank is stationary below the glass bead. By continuously heating the glass bead with electricity, the glass bead is kept in a continuously energized state. The needle blank is slowly moved and allowed to slowly approach the glass bead. When the needle blank softens and bends to a specified angle, the power supply of the platinum wire is turned off, so that the needle tip forms a needle tip with a bent angle. In addition, the bending operation can also be achieved using a bending structure that already exists in the prior art.

[0072] The monitoring and operating mechanism includes an electron microscope 31 and a display 32; the lens portion of the electron microscope 31 is aligned with a third position; the electron microscope 31 and the display 32 are electrically connected. The monitoring and operating mechanism also includes a controller and an operating console 33; the operating console 33, the electron microscope 31, and the display 32 are all electrically connected to the controller. Preferably, the electron microscope 31 is a high-precision microscope.

[0073] like Figure 6-10 As shown, the clamping mechanism 1 includes a needle holder 10, a three-axis electric moving structure 16 and a first rotating slide 17;

[0074] like Figure 6 As shown, the needle holder 10 includes a drive motor 11, a needle blank pressing block 12, a needle blank mounting block 13, a bracket 14, a ventilation component 15, and a needle blank rotating component;

[0075] The driving motor 11, ventilation assembly, and needle blank pressing block 12 are all installed on the bracket 14; a groove structure is provided on the needle blank mounting block 13, and the needle tip 100 (or needle tip) is placed on the groove structure; the driving motor 11 is connected to the needle blank pressing block 12, and can drive the needle blank pressing block 12 to press the needle tip 100 against the groove structure; the ventilation assembly includes a accommodating chamber 151 and a ventilation tube 152; the end of the needle tip 100 is located in the accommodating chamber 151, and the end of the ventilation tube 152 is arranged in the accommodating chamber 151, and the ventilation tube 152 is used to introduce gas; in a preferred example, the groove structure is a V-groove structure, the first rotary slide 17 is a high-precision rotary slide, and the driving motor 11 is a micro motor.

[0076] like Figure 7 As shown, the needle holder 10 is mounted on the three-axis electric movable structure 16 via a first rotating slide 17; the first rotating slide 17 is capable of driving the needle holder 10 to rotate along the axis of the first rotating slide 17, which is defined as the R axis, that is, the first rotating slide 17 is capable of driving the needle holder 10 to rotate along the R axis; the three-axis electric movable structure 16 is capable of driving the first rotating slide 17 to drive the needle holder 10 to move along the X axis, Y axis, and Z axis; the X axis, Y axis, and Z axis are perpendicular to each other. In a preferred embodiment, the needle holder 10 is provided with a slide connection position 101, and the needle holder 10 is connected to the first rotating slide 17 via the slide connection position 101.

[0077] In a preferred example, the needle blank rotating assembly includes a rotating disc 161 and a needle blank rotating motor; the rotating disc 161 is installed at one end of the accommodating chamber 151, and the needle tip 100 passes through the rotating disc 161; the needle blank rotating motor can drive the rotating disc 161 to rotate, thereby driving the needle tip 100 to rotate along the axis of the rotating disc 161, and the axis of the rotating disc 161 is defined as the O-axis, that is, the needle blank can rotate along the O-axis under the drive of the rotating disc 161.

[0078] In a preferred example, the O axis and the R axis are perpendicular to each other.

[0079] The three-axis electric motion structure 16 operates by utilizing three sets of linear slide assemblies to precisely move the needle holder 10, which is secured to the structure via a first rotary slide 17, along the X, Y, and Z axes. This ensures precise positioning and machining of the needle blank (or needle tip). The three-axis electric motion structure 16 comprises an X-axis slide assembly, a Y-axis slide assembly, and a Z-axis slide assembly.

[0080] like Figure 7-10 As shown, the needle holder 10 is mounted on the first rotating slide 17, which is mounted on the Z-axis sliding assembly, which is mounted on the Y-axis sliding assembly, which is mounted on the X-axis sliding assembly. The Z-axis sliding assembly includes a Z-axis electric slide 164; the Y-axis sliding assembly includes a Y-axis electric slide 163; and the X-axis sliding assembly includes an X-axis electric slide 162.

[0081] Preferably, the X-axis electric slide 162 includes an X-axis slider, an X-axis guide rail, and an X-axis drive motor; the Y-axis sliding assembly is installed on the X-axis slider; the X-axis drive motor drives the X-axis slider to move on the X-axis guide rail through any of the following structures: a screw-nut structure; a gear rack structure; and a push rod structure. The Y-axis electric slide 163 includes a Y-axis slider, a Y-axis guide rail, and a Y-axis drive motor, and the Z-axis sliding assembly is installed on the Y-axis slider; the Y-axis drive motor drives the Y-axis slider to move on the Y-axis guide rail through any of the following structures: a screw-nut structure; a gear rack structure; and a push rod structure. The Z-axis electric slide 164 includes a Z-axis slider, a Z-axis guide rail, and a Z-axis drive motor; the first rotary slide 17 is installed on the Z-axis slider; the Z-axis drive motor drives the Z-axis slider to move on the Z-axis guide rail through any of the following structures: a screw-nut structure; a gear rack structure; and a push rod structure.

[0082] In a preferred embodiment, the three-axis electric moving structure 16, the first rotary slide 17, and the drive motor 11 are all electrically connected to the controller. In an embodiment where a needle blank rotating motor is provided, the needle blank rotating motor is also electrically connected to the controller.

[0083] The egg-holding needle tip processing equipment also includes a robotic arm and a needle blank box, wherein the needle blank box is used to store unprocessed needle blanks; the robotic arm is used to take out the unprocessed needle blanks and feed the holding mechanism.

[0084] The first rotary slide 17 operates by precisely rotating the slide to control the rotation of the needle holder 10. For example, during machining, the angle of the needle holder 10 can be adjusted to precisely adjust the angle of the needle blank, ensuring that the bevel of the needle tip remains unchanged during the closing process. After the closing is complete, the needle holder 10 can be automatically rotated back to its initial setting.

[0085] The clamping mechanism 1 mainly realizes the ability to move in different directions and ensure the accuracy during the deep processing of the needle tip through three high-precision electric linear slide groups, one high-precision electric rotary slide and one needle blank rotating assembly. Among them, the high-precision electric linear slide group and the high-precision electric rotary slide are mainly used, and the needle blank rotating assembly is supplemented. The clamping mechanism 1 solves the technical problem that the needle tip needs to move in the five directions of X, Y, Z, R, and O during the processing and requires positive pressure ventilation. The present invention mainly uses the X-axis electric slide 162, the Y-axis electric slide 163, the Z-axis electric slide 164, the first rotary slide 17 and the needle blank rotating assembly to cooperate with each other to complete the five-direction movement. In addition, the clamping mechanism 1 can also ensure the cleanliness of the inner wall of the needle tip by introducing positive pressure gas during the switching of the needle tip processing process through the ventilation assembly 15, so that the entire needle tip processing process can be completed without removing the needle blank during the needle tip processing process.

[0086] The working principle and process of the present invention are as follows:

[0087] After the processing of a needle blank is completed, the needle blank and the processing position will automatically switch to the next process for processing under the action of the rotary slide and the linear slide group, and all the processes of the needle tip will be processed in this way. Specifically, the robotic arm 41 takes out the unprocessed needle tip 100 and installs the needle tip 100 on the clamping mechanism 1. At this time, the needle tip 100 is in the first position. After the egg-holding needle tip processing equipment is turned on, the drive motor 11 first drives the needle blank pressing block 12 to press the needle tip 100 against the groove structure. Then, the controller controls the egg-holding needle tip processing equipment to enter the broken needle state, the closed state, and the bent state in sequence according to the preset parameters to complete the entire production process of the egg-holding needle. Finally, the needle blank pressing block 12 is lifted, and the operator replaces another drawn needle tip 100 to continue processing. It is worth noting that each time switching between different states is performed, the clamping mechanism 1 will control the needle tip 100 to return to the first position, and then the processing electric rotary slide 25 will rotate to rotate the next corresponding workstation to the third position. Finally, the clamping mechanism 1 will control the needle tip 100 to move to the second position, allowing the corresponding working parts to interact with the needle tip 100 through the corresponding workstation to realize the corresponding needle blank processing operation.

[0088] The electron microscope 31 allows the operator to monitor the machining process at all times, displaying images on a monitor. In a preferred embodiment, the electron microscope 31 automatically adjusts magnification based on the needle tip machining process within preset parameters. If a machining error or deviation occurs, the operator can manually control the egg-holding needle tip machining equipment through the control panel 33 to continue machining the needle blank.

[0089] The present invention utilizes the precision rotation of the electric rotary slide 25 to control the three machining positions of the needle tip and ensure the machining angle of the needle tip, ensuring accurate machining after the needle tip is automatically focused. The focusing is achieved by controlling the clamping needle tip 100 to move to the second position through the clamping mechanism 1 and rotating the corresponding workstation to the third position through the machining mechanism 2.

[0090] The production process of the egg-holding needle consists of three processes: breaking the needle, closing the end, and bending. The traditional production process requires the three processes to be processed separately on different equipment. However, the present invention realizes a one-time process of processing the needle blank into the finished needle through the design of the clamping mechanism 1, the processing mechanism 2, and the monitoring and operating mechanism, and the mutual combination of multiple mechanisms, without removing the needle blank in the middle. It solves the problem of manually taking out and replacing the needle blank. Therefore, the present invention avoids the tedious steps of manually changing the processing position of the needle blank during the processing, and achieves the effect of one-time processing. The advantage of the present invention is that it can automatically complete the free switching of the needle blank and the processing position, solves the manual replacement of the needle blank and the tedious process of processing, solves the deep processing problem of manually controlling the precision of the needle tip, and greatly improves the success rate of the needle tip processing under the action of the microscope, thereby improving the production efficiency and success rate of the egg-holding needle.

[0091] The present invention also provides a method for processing the tip of an egg-holding needle, which uses the egg-holding needle tip processing device, and further comprises the following steps:

[0092] S1. The robotic arm 41 removes the unprocessed needle tip 100 and installs the needle tip 100 on the clamping mechanism 1. At this time, the needle tip 100 is located at the first position.

[0093] S2. Turn on the egg-holding needle tip processing equipment. The driving motor 11 first drives the needle blank pressing block 12 to press the needle tip 100 onto the groove structure. Then, the controller controls the egg-holding needle tip processing equipment to enter the needle breaking state, the closing state, and the bending state in sequence according to preset parameters to complete the entire egg-holding needle production process.

[0094] S3. The needle blank pressing block 12 is lifted, and the robotic arm replaces another drawn needle tip 100, and the egg-holding needle tip processing equipment continues processing.

[0095] In the step S2, each time switching between different states is performed, the clamping mechanism 1 will control the needle tip 100 to return to the first position, and then the processing electric rotary slide 25 will rotate to rotate the next corresponding workstation to the third position. Finally, the clamping mechanism 1 will control the needle tip 100 to move to the second position, allowing the corresponding working part to interact with the needle tip 100 through the corresponding workstation to realize the corresponding needle blank processing operation.
