Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of intravenous catheters, in particular to automatic production equipment for medical intravenous catheters. Background Art

[0002] The tube part of the medical catheter is produced by an extrusion molding method. The production process of the catheter is: raw material drying, plasticizing extrusion, mold molding, cooling and shaping, pulling and cutting, and post-processing of the tube, etc. For example, the medical catheter automatic production equipment with announcement number CN210750829U includes a control box, a main frame and a catheter conveying mechanism arranged on the main frame, and also includes a first processing station and a second processing station arranged downstream of the first processing station; wherein the first processing station is configured to perform a head cutting process on the first end of the catheter and a glue coating process on the second end of the catheter at the same time, and the second processing station is configured to perform a punching process on the first end of the catheter and a joint assembly process on the second end of the catheter at the same time.

[0003] However, we found in actual use that when the intravenous catheter is in use, the end of the intravenous catheter inserted into the patient's body is not a completely straight incision. Sometimes, in order to smoothly and accurately insert the intravenous catheter into the target blood vessel, some intravenous catheters with specific incisions are used, such as inclined incisions. When the head cutting mechanism in the above case is used for production, the incision of the intravenous catheter is generally a standard straight incision. In this way, it is necessary to add a trimming mechanism behind the mechanism to assist in the incision processing, which not only increases the floor space of the automatic production equipment, but also due to the problem of shearing direction, the sheared intravenous catheter may fly around, affecting the normal cutting work of the subsequent intravenous catheter. For this reason, we propose an automatic production equipment for medical intravenous catheters. Summary of the invention

[0036] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] See also Figure 1-Figure 11 , the present invention provides a technical solution:

[0039] A medical intravenous catheter automatic production equipment includes an equipment body 1 and a multi-axial adjustment mechanism 10 arranged on the equipment body 1. A catheter film blowing mechanism is arranged at the front end of the equipment body 1. A catheter transmission mechanism, a switchable head cutting mechanism 3, a gluing mechanism, a punching mechanism and a joint assembly mechanism are arranged on the equipment body 1. The multi-axial adjustment mechanism 10 is used in conjunction with the switchable head cutting mechanism 3. It mainly drives the screw rod to rotate through a servo motor, thereby completing the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis three-directional adjustment of the fixed plate 11 and the movable plate 12. It is an existing common structure and will not be described in detail here. It also includes:

[0040] A fixing plate 11, wherein the fixing plate 11 is arranged on the multi-axial adjustment mechanism 10;

[0041] A movable plate 12, wherein the movable plate 12 is slidably disposed on the multi-axial adjustment mechanism 10;

[0042] An adjusting member 2, wherein the adjusting member 2 is disposed between the fixed plate 11 and the movable plate 12, and is used to adjust the distance between the movable plate 12 and the fixed plate 11;

[0043] Two switchable head cutting mechanisms 3, which are respectively arranged on the fixed plate 11 and the movable plate 12, and are used to shear the end of the conduit after the film blowing is completed, and can switch shearing parts of different specifications according to production requirements;

[0044] The adjusting member 2 comprises a screw rod 21 threadedly connected to the fixed plate 11, one end of the screw rod 21 is rotatably connected to the movable plate 12, and the other end is provided with a knob;

[0045] The switchable head cutting mechanism 3 comprises a mounting frame 31 arranged on the fixed plate 11, the mounting frame 31 is provided with a clamping assembly 4 for clamping and positioning the catheter to be cut, and the fixed plate 11 is provided with a head changing assembly 6 matched with the clamping assembly 4 for switching shearing parts of different specifications and flattening the catheter to be cut during shearing;

[0046] The clamping assembly 4 includes two bending clamps 41 respectively slidably arranged in the mounting frame 31, a bidirectional screw rod 42 is rotatably arranged in the mounting frame 31, the bending clamps 41 are respectively threadedly connected to both sides of the bidirectional screw rod 42, a first motor 43 is arranged on the fixing plate 11, one end of the bidirectional screw rod 42 extends to the outside of the mounting frame 31 and is connected to the output end of the first motor 43, and elastic members 5 are arranged on opposite sides of the two bending clamps 41 for squeezing the catheter to be cut;

[0047] The elastic member 5 comprises a spring 51 arranged on the bending clamp plate 41, and an extrusion plate 52 is arranged at the end of the spring 51;

[0048] The head-changing assembly 6 includes a fixed shaft 61 rotatably arranged on the fixed plate 11, a rotating member 7 connected to the fixed shaft 61 is arranged on the device body 1 for providing driving force, a contraction member 8 is arranged on the rotating member 7, and two shearing knives 62 of different specifications are arranged on both sides of the contraction member 8 for retracting the shearing knives 62 inward when the rotating member 7 is working, and a wedge-shaped top block 63 is arranged on the bending clamp plate 41, and two extrusion members 9 respectively matched with the wedge-shaped top block 63 are arranged on the device body 1 for flattening the catheter to be cut during shearing;

[0049] The rotating member 7 includes two receiving plates 71 respectively arranged on the fixed shaft 61, and the fixed plate 11 is provided with a second motor 72, and the output end of the second motor 72 is connected to the receiving plate 71. When the second motor 72 rotates counterclockwise, the U-shaped frame 83 will directly contact the wedge-shaped top block 1 63, and then be squeezed into the receiving plate 71, and the shearing knife 62 and the second wedge-shaped top block 92 on the U-shaped frame 83 will be retracted, so that the U-shaped frame 83 passes over the wedge-shaped top block 1 63, and then the second motor 72 rotates clockwise, and the second wedge-shaped top block 92 on the U-shaped frame 83 will be attached to the wedge-shaped top block 1 63 and squeezed, and the two shearing clamps 94 are squeezed inward, so as to achieve the flattening of the catheter to be cut;

[0050] Both sides of the two receiving plates 71 are provided with shifting grooves 81, the contraction member 8 includes four springs 82 respectively arranged in the shifting grooves 81, and the two shifting grooves 81 on the same side are both slidably provided with U-shaped frames 83, and the two ends of the U-shaped frames 83 are respectively inserted into the shifting grooves 81 on different receiving plates 71, and the shearing knives 62 are respectively arranged on the two U-shaped frames 83;

[0051] The extrusion member 9 includes two guide columns 91 respectively arranged on the U-shaped frame 83, and a wedge-shaped top block 92 is slidably arranged on the guide columns 91 for use with the adjacent wedge-shaped top block 1 63. A spring 3 93 is sleeved on the outer side of the guide columns 91, and the two ends of the spring 3 93 are respectively connected to the U-shaped frame 83 and the wedge-shaped top block 2 92, and the end of the wedge-shaped top block 2 92 is provided with a shearing clamp 94 that cooperates with the adjacent shearing knife 62.

[0052] When in use, the catheter film blowing mechanism first works to blow out a venous catheter, and then the catheter is transported to the multi-axial adjustment mechanism 10 through the catheter conveying mechanism. The multi-axial adjustment mechanism 10 drives the screw to rotate through the servo motor to achieve precise adjustment of the fixed plate 11 and the movable plate 12 in the three directions of the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis. This adjustment can ensure that the device can adapt to catheters of different specifications and sizes;

[0053] The work of the head changing assembly 6 is controlled according to the demand. The second motor 72 in the rotating member 7 provides driving force, which rotates counterclockwise at this time, driving the receiving plate 71 and the U-shaped frame 83 to rotate around the fixed shaft 61. When contacting the wedge-shaped top block 1 63, the U-shaped frame 83 slides in the shifting slot 81. During the sliding process, the shearing knife 62 and the wedge-shaped top block 2 92 on the U-shaped frame 83 will be retracted so as to pass over the wedge-shaped top block 1 63, thereby realizing the switching of the shearing knife 62 and the shearing clamp 94;

[0054] After the adjustment is completed, the two switching head cutting mechanisms 3 start to work. The two mechanisms are respectively arranged on the fixed plate 11 and the movable plate 12, and can cut two catheters to improve the efficiency of catheter production. The clamping assembly 4 in the switching head cutting mechanism 3 stably clamps the catheter to be cut through the bidirectional screw rod 42 and the bending clamp plate 41. The spring 1 51 and the extrusion plate 52 in the elastic member 5 on the bending clamp plate 41 ensure that the catheter will not be damaged during the clamping process, and provide sufficient clamping force;

[0055] The second motor 72 in the rotating member 7 provides driving force, and rotates clockwise at the beginning. The second wedge-shaped top block 92 on the U-shaped frame 83 is attached to and squeezed with the first wedge-shaped top block 63, and the two shearing clamps 94 are squeezed inward, so as to flatten the catheter to be cut. The shearing knife 62 starts to work and shears the catheter. Due to the setting of the clamping assembly 4, the catheter will not fly around. Then, the second motor 72 changes the rotation direction to release the squeezed catheter. After the catheter is re-delivered, it rotates clockwise again to complete a new round of flattening and shearing work, and the above work can be repeated;

[0056] After the shearing is completed, the clamping assembly 4 releases the clamped catheter, and the catheter continues to be transported to the next process (such as the gluing mechanism, the punching mechanism and the joint assembly mechanism) through the catheter conveying mechanism for further processing;

[0057] During the whole process, the coordinated use of the multi-axial adjustment mechanism 10 and the switchable head cutting mechanism 3 ensures the adaptability and production efficiency of the equipment to catheters of different specifications. At the same time, the design of the clamping assembly 4 and the head changing assembly 6 improves the clamping stability and shearing quality of the catheter.

[0058] Example 2

[0059] See also Fig.12 , the present invention provides a technical solution:

[0060] Different from Example 1, the shearing clamp 94 at the bottom is provided with a bottom support plate 13. The provision of the bottom support plate 13 ensures that the incision is straight during shearing, avoids pulling deformation, and is conducive to improving the shearing effect at the incision position.

[0062] While the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that many changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention.
