Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of body membrane processing and manufacturing, and in particular to a high-precision processing method for a human blood vessel model. Background Art
[0002] Currently, there are many methods for processing and manufacturing human blood vessel models:
[0003] First, the hollow solid model is split into piece-like models that can be spliced and assembled, and then 3D printed. After the 3D printed mold is spliced and assembled, the model is sealed with heat shrink tubing or plastic film. Molten casting wax is injected to obtain a solid casting wax vascular model. After silicone is coated on the surface of the static casting wax vascular model and solidified, the casting wax is melted to obtain hollow vascular silicone.
[0004] Second, a hollow blood vessel model is 3D printed using a soluble material to obtain a hollow blood vessel mold. Silicone is attached to the surface of the blood vessel mold using a uniaxial rotary spraying or coating method. After the silicone is solidified, the spraying or coating operation is repeated to form a silicone blood vessel model of a certain thickness. The 3D printed hollow blood vessel mold is then dissolved by changing the water 16 times over 48 hours to obtain a hollow silicone blood vessel model. Alternatively, the 3D printed hollow blood vessel mold is dissolved using a strong acid or strong base solution to obtain a hollow silicone blood vessel model.
[0005] Third, larger silicone blood vessels are produced in sections, and the finished vascular silicones are connected using plastic connectors to produce large-volume vascular silicone models through splicing.
[0006] In method one, the splicing, assembly, and sealing process of the sheet model requires a certain level of familiarity on the part of the operator, and the process is complex and has low production capacity. Casting wax is generally blue or green, and its color does not change after melting, and a large amount of gas is released. The inner surface of the vascular silicone is easily stained by the casting wax color, resulting in a decrease in the transparency of the vascular silicone.
[0007] In the second method, the silicone is applied statically, and the silicone flows during the process of changing from liquid to solid, resulting in uneven thickness of the silicone wall of the produced blood vessel.
[0008] Soluble materials for 3D printing have low applicability to 3D printers and are expensive to purchase. Soluble materials take a long time to dissolve and require constant manpower to replace the solution during the process. Strong acid or strong base solutions pose a certain risk to operators and may pollute the environment.
[0009] Spraying or coating silicone on a 3D-printed blood vessel mold requires fine grinding of the surface patterns of the mold. However, the shape of the blood vessels themselves is complex and curved, and there are areas with smaller bends that cannot be properly polished. As a result, the inner surface of the finished product will have the patterns of the 3D-printed blood vessel mold, resulting in an uneven inner surface.
[0010] In method three: large-volume vascular silicone cannot be molded in one go and needs to be produced in segments. The segmented finished silicone products are connected using plastic joints, which affects the actual operation or rehearsal process of medical personnel.
[0011] Therefore, those skilled in the art provide a high-precision processing method for a human blood vessel model to solve the problems raised in the above background technology. Summary of the Invention

The water in the manifold 217 enters the corresponding connecting hose 218 through the adapter and then flows through the pipeline-type manual valve 219. After the pipeline-type manual valve 219 is opened, the water flows into the drainage hose 220 and falls to the bottom of the box bottom plate 208, and is then collected and filtered by the filter mechanism 206 for secondary use.
[0213] A panel is also installed at the front end of the housing 200 above the door panel 202. A timer 221 and a button switch 222 are respectively provided on the right side of the panel.
