Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of electrolytic machining and medical equipment technology, in particular to a medical guide wire inner core electrolytic machining device and method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The medical guide wire is a kind of disposable surgical consumables indispensable for interventional medical treatment at present, mainly playing a supporting and guiding role. The medical guide wire is mainly composed of a cladding layer and a metal guide wire inner core. The material of the guide wire inner core is mainly stainless steel and nickel-titanium alloy material. In order to improve the flexibility of the guide wire and reduce the damage to the blood vessel, the front end of the guide wire inner core needs to have a long tapered structure that gradually tapers. Therefore, this greatly increases the processing difficulty of the guide wire inner core. The existing technology usually uses a centerless grinding machine to process the tapered surface (tapered structure) at the end of the guide wire inner core. However, due to the small size, the machining precision is difficult to guarantee. At the same time, under the action of mechanical grinding force, the guide wire inner core is prone to breakage during processing, or the processed guide wire inner core is prone to bending, resulting in low processing qualification rate and other problems.

[0003] Electrochemical machining is a non-contact machining method based on the principle of electrochemical anodic dissolution to remove materials. It has the advantages of no cutting force in processing, no tool wear, good processing surface quality, etc., and is suitable for efficient and precise machining of difficult-to-machine materials such as stainless steel, titanium alloy, and high-temperature alloy. Therefore, the present application proposes a medical guide wire inner core electrolytic machining method and designs a special processing equipment to solve the problem of processing the medical guide wire inner core.
