[0032] Example

[0033] A method for shaping the end of an aerospace conduit includes the following steps: Step 1) Select a shaping sleeve 46 that matches the specifications of the conduit to be shaped; Step 2) Place the shaping sleeve 46 onto the expansion sleeve 45 and the shaping rod 43; wherein the expansion sleeve 45 is fitted onto the shaping rod 43, and the spherical inner wall of the shaping sleeve 46 abuts against the spherical end of the shaping rod 43; Step 3) Move the shaping rod 43 laterally, so that the conical fixing part 4311 on the shaping rod 43 pushes against the inner wall of the expansion sleeve 45, causing the expansion sleeve to expand... The sleeve 45 expands outward and abuts against the inner wall of the gradually deforming sleeve 46. During the expansion of the sleeve 45, the deforming sleeve 46 can be driven to slide along the end of the deforming rod 43, so that the sleeve 45, the deforming rod 43 and the deforming sleeve 46 are aligned, coaxial and fixedly connected; wherein, the inner hole of the sleeve 45 matches the fixing part 4311; in step 4), the deforming rod 43 drives the deforming sleeve 46 to rotate, drives the conduit 7 to move laterally, so that the deformed end of the conduit 7 is gradually fitted onto the tapered outer surface of the deforming sleeve 46.

[0034] With this setup, different sizes of orthotic sleeves 46 can be used to shape the ends of catheters of different specifications. In the above method, the orthotic sleeve 46 can automatically align and fix with the orthotic rod 43, preventing the catheter opening from shifting. In the above method, the contact area between the orthotic sleeve 46 and the catheter gradually increases. This allows the conical side of the orthotic sleeve 46 to shape smaller or more deformable tubes, effectively reducing the impact of the shaping process on the catheter and ensuring that the shaped end presents a standard circle. This avoids creases at the catheter end, which could affect the performance of the catheter and ensure a high yield rate for the tubes.

[0035] like Figure 1-8 The illustrated shaping device for aerospace conduit ends can shape the ends of aerospace conduits using the aforementioned shaping method. The device includes a worktable 11 and shaping components, chamfering components, dust extraction components, and positioning components mounted on the worktable 11. The shaping components include the expansion sleeve 45, the straightening sleeve 46, and the straightening rod 43. The straightening rod 43 is mounted on the worktable 11 and can rotate and move laterally on the worktable 11.

[0036] To facilitate the connection between the orthotic rod 43 and the orthotic sleeve 46, in this embodiment, one end of the expansion sleeve 45 is a multi-lobed flowering end 451. The inner hole of the flowering end 451 of the expansion sleeve 45 is conical and matches the fixing part 4311 of the orthotic rod 43. In step 3), after the orthotic rod 43 moves laterally, the fixing part 4311 of the orthotic rod 43 gradually inserts into the inner hole of the flowering end and pushes against the inner wall of the flowering end 451 of the expansion sleeve 45, causing the flowering end 451 of the expansion sleeve 45 to open and gradually abut against the inner wall of the orthotic sleeve 46, thereby fixing the orthotic sleeve. This design, using an integrated expansion sleeve 45, simplifies the structure of the device.

[0037] In order to align and position the orthotic rod 43 and the orthotic sleeve 46, in this embodiment, the left end of the orthotic sleeve 46 is provided with a cylindrical connecting groove 463, the right end of the connecting groove 463 is provided with a spherical positioning groove 464, and the spherical end of the orthotic rod 43 is the positioning end 4312; in step 2), the expansion sleeve 45 is located inside the connecting groove 463 in the orthotic sleeve 46, and the positioning end 4312 of the orthotic rod 43 abuts against the inner wall of the positioning groove 464; in step 3), the expansion sleeve 45 gradually expands and gradually abuts against the inner wall of the connecting groove 463, and the orthotic sleeve 46 moves on the spherical positioning end 4312 of the orthotic rod 43, so that the orthotic rod 43 and the orthotic sleeve 46 gradually become coaxial, and the orthotic rod 43, the expansion sleeve 45 and the orthotic sleeve 46 are gradually fixed. With this configuration, the cylindrical fixing groove corresponds to the expansion sleeve 45, and the positioning end 4312 corresponds to the positioning groove 464, which makes it easier for the orthopedic sleeve 46 and the orthopedic rod 43 to be aligned and positioned.

[0038] For ease of installation, in this embodiment, the shaping device further includes a workbench 11, on which the shaping assembly, chamfering assembly, dust extraction assembly, and positioning assembly are all mounted; as shown Figure 2 As shown, a first mounting base 12 and a second mounting base are fixedly installed on the workbench 11. The first mounting base 12 is located to the left of the second mounting base. A mounting sleeve 44 is rotatably installed on the right end of the second mounting base. A reset groove is opened at the right end of the mounting sleeve 44. The left end of the expansion sleeve 45 is inserted into the reset groove and fixedly connected. The right end of the expansion sleeve 45 is a flower-shaped end 451. The orthotic rod 43 passes through the expansion sleeve 45, the mounting sleeve 44, and the second mounting base from right to left and is connected to the first mounting base 12. The left side of the fixing part 4311 of the orthotic rod 43 is located in the reset groove. A reset spring 47 is installed in the reset groove. The two ends of the reset spring 47 abut against the inner wall of the reset groove and the side wall of the fixing part 4311, respectively. This arrangement facilitates the installation and positioning of the orthotic rod 43, and allows the spring to drive the orthotic rod 43 to reset, causing the expansion sleeve 45 to disengage from the orthotic sleeve 46, making it easy to remove the orthotic sleeve 46. Furthermore, the left end of the mounting sleeve 44 is inserted into the second mounting base and rotatably connected by a bearing, and the left end of the fixed sleeve is connected to the second mounting base by an oil seal.

[0039] To facilitate catheter shaping, in this embodiment, as follows: Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the right side of the orthopedic sleeve is a hemispherical roughing section 461, and the conical part of the orthopedic sleeve 46 is the shaping section 462, located to the left of the roughing section 461. During the catheter tip shaping process, the deformed catheter tip first abuts against the spherical surface of the roughing section 461, allowing the deformed tip to gradually recover, thus performing roughing on the deformed tip. This process does not require high precision but can quickly restore the deformed tip, so the axial deformation of the roughing section is relatively large. After the deformed catheter has been initially restored on the roughing section, it undergoes fine repair on the shaping section 462. Since the deformation of the shaping section 462 is smaller, the precision of catheter tip shaping can be improved. This design not only restores the deformed catheter tip to a circular shape but also improves the efficiency and precision of catheter shaping. Furthermore, axially, the length of the roughing section 461 is less than the length of the shaping section 462.

[0040] To facilitate the installation of the orthotic rod 43, in this embodiment, as follows: Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the orthopedic rod 43 includes a push-pull rod 431 and a cone head 432. The fixing part 4311 and the hemispherical positioning end 4312 are both located on the cone head 432. The cone head also includes an annular locking part 4313. The positioning end 4312 is the right end of the cone head 432. The fixing part 4311 is located on the left side of the fixing part 4311 and is fixedly connected. The locking part 4313 is located on the left side of the fixing part and is fixedly connected. One end of the return spring abuts against the locking part. The right end of the push-pull rod 431 is inserted into the return groove of the mounting sleeve 44 and threadedly connected to the left end of the cone head 432. Thus, the split-type orthopedic rod 43 can be installed on other components and then fixed, allowing for easy disassembly and replacement of components in the orthopedic device.

[0041] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a first cylinder 41 is mounted on the first mounting base 12. The output end of the first cylinder 41 is connected to the left end of the push-pull rod 431, thereby enabling the first cylinder 41 to drive the orthotic rod 43 to move in the left and right directions; as shown Figure 1-4As shown, a bracket 21 is fixedly installed on the workbench 11. A servo motor 22 is installed on the top of the bracket 21. A first pulley 23 is fixedly installed on the output end of the servo motor 22. A transmission seat 16 is fixedly installed on the workbench 11. The transmission seat 16 is located between the first mounting seat 12 and the second mounting seat. The transmission seat 16 has a cavity. A first transmission shaft is rotatably installed on the transmission seat 16. A second pulley 24 and a first gear 26 are fixedly installed on the first transmission shaft. The first gear 26 is located inside the cavity, and the second pulley 24 is located outside the cavity. The second pulley 24 and the first pulley 23 are connected by a transmission belt 25. A second transmission shaft is rotatably mounted on the transmission base 16. A second gear 27, which meshes with the first gear 26, is fixedly mounted on the second transmission shaft. The push-pull rod 431 passes through the transmission base 16. A third gear 42, which meshes with the second gear 27, is sleeved on the push-pull rod 431. The third gear 42 is located in a cavity and is splinedly connected to the push-pull rod 431. Two sliding bearings are installed in the cavity, and the third gear 42 is located between the two bearings, which clamp the push-pull rod 431, thereby fixing the position of the third gear 42. This configuration allows for more precise control of the movement and rotation of the straightening rod 43 and reduces the transmission distance, making the structure of the straightening device more compact. In other embodiments, the first pulley 23, the second pulley 24, the first gear 26, the second gear 27, and the third gear 42 can be configured as a progressively decelerating transmission path to further improve the control of the straightening rod 43.

The fourth gear 32 is splined to the drive shaft 33. The fourth gear meshes with the second gear 27 and drives the drive shaft 33 to rotate. This enriches the function of the shaping device and makes the power transmission structure and transmission path of the shaping device more compact. Furthermore, the fourth gear 32 is splinedly connected to the drive shaft 33. A second cylinder 31 is also mounted on the first mounting base 12. The driving end of the second cylinder 31 is connected to the drive shaft 33, allowing the second drive shaft 33 to slide on the first mounting base 12 and the third mounting base. The fourth gear 32 is mounted on the transmission base 16 in the same manner as the third gear 42. The drive shaft 33 can slide relative to the first mounting base 12 and the third mounting base. When the drive shaft 33 moves in the left and right direction, it can drive the expansion sleeve 45 mounted on the right end of the drive shaft 33 to open and fix the cutter head 34 fitted on the expansion sleeve 45.
