Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a manufacturing system for a lifting thread formed with knots and a lifting thread manufactured by the system. On the other hand, this patent application claims the priority of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2022-0138341 filed with the Korean Patent Office on October 25, 2022, and the disclosure of the above patent application is incorporated herein by reference. Background Art

[0002] Generally, a lifting thread is used for a surgery to bury a thread formed with small knots such as rose thorns into the skin to stretch wrinkles. As the original face thread (or original thread) is implanted subcutaneously and the soft tissue is evenly pulled to pull the sagging skin, the lifting thread achieves the effect of improving wrinkles, preventing skin sagging, and maintaining the jaw line by tightening the inelastic skin. Therefore, in addition to the effect of removing wrinkles such as forehead wrinkles and nasolabial folds, the lifting thread can be used to improve problems such as eyebrow or jaw line sagging and cheek sagging. In the case of simple local anesthesia on the premise of preventing burden on the body, the thread embedding and lifting surgery only uses a special original thread and a needle. Therefore, not only can the burden on the patient be reduced, but also the effects of face lifting, wrinkle removal, and jaw line improvement can be obtained immediately.

[0003] The facial fascia of a person is a synovial membrane composed of connective tissue and muscles under the skin and fat, and is composed of multiple layers rather than a single layer. And the fascia can produce facial expressions by transmitting muscle movements to the skin, and most surgeries using lifting threads are achieved at this layer. The facial support ligament is a tissue that prevents soft tissue sagging due to skin aging. During the aging process, if the upper layer of fat drops, its boundary will become clearer. In this case, as the sagging phenomenon becomes obvious, the facial support ligament can be used as a fixed point or a lifting point during the lifting thread surgery. In the case of fat layer drop due to skin aging, a surgery using a lifting thread can be performed. The thread embedding and lifting surgery uses a thread formed with the above knots, and adopts a method of physically pulling the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) by making the protruding part of the skin-embedded thread be stuck to tissues such as a retaining ligament and a fibrous compound.

[0004] In this case, the original thread, as a thread used for suturing tissues damaged by surgery or trauma or for plastic surgery, can play a role in supporting tissues. The original thread is divided into a non-absorbent original thread and an absorbent original thread. In particular, although the thickness of the original thread does not affect the absorption speed, in terms of tissue reaction or tissue irritation, it is known that a thin original thread heals faster and causes less reaction to tissues than a thick original thread.

[0005] After embedding the above-mentioned lifting thread into the subcutaneous layer of the drooping skin, in order to pull the skin in the desired direction, a knot needs to be formed on the thread. Different from ordinary threads, the thickness of the lifting thread is very thin. Therefore, in order to form a fine knot with uniform height and thickness on such a thin suture thread, not only the forming work needs to be precisely achieved, but also a precisely controlled manufacturing device needs to be used.

[0006] On the other hand, in order to form the above-mentioned knot on the lifting thread, a thermocompression molding method that performs molding under heating conditions is currently adopted. However, in the case of heat-treating the original thread, problems such as reduced quality reliability will occur as the physical properties of the original thread change or the surface shape deforms.

[0007] And, in order to form the above-mentioned knots in multiple directions on the above-mentioned formed knot, a manufacturing method of rotating the original thread is currently adopted. However, in the process of rotating the original thread, problems such as reduced durability of the manufactured lifting thread, such as tensile force, will occur.

[0008] Moreover, as the manufacturing process and packaging process of the lifting thread are intermittently executed, problems such as reduced operability will occur due to separately performing the process of forming a knot on the original thread, the work of assembling a cover, etc. to the lifting thread, and the process of packaging the lifting thread. Summary of the Invention

[0009] Technical Problem

[0010] The object of the present invention is to provide a lifting thread manufacturing device and a lifting thread manufactured by this system as follows, that is, in the case of forming a molded knot on the lifting thread, not only is it not necessary to heat the original thread, but also it is not necessary to rotate the original thread to form knots in multiple directions, and the process from the processing of the original thread to the manufacturing and packaging of the lifting thread can be continuously executed.

[0011] Solution to the Problem

[0012] In order to achieve the above object, the lifting thread manufacturing device provided by the present invention includes: a supply unit for supplying the original thread; a processing unit for forming knots in multiple directions on the surface of the original thread supplied from the supply unit to manufacture the lifting thread; an assembling unit for assembling a tube and a cover to the lifting thread manufactured by the processing unit to manufacture a lifting thread assembly; and a packaging unit for performing aseptic packaging on the lifting thread assembly manufactured by the assembling unit. The manufacturing process efficiency of the lifting thread can be improved by continuously executing the overall process from the processing of the original thread to the aseptic packaging of the lifting thread assembly, and the above-mentioned lifting thread with high quality reliability can be manufactured by executing the overall process under room temperature conditions without heating the original thread.

[0013] Effect of the Invention

[0014] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in the case of forming a molded knot, a lifting wire with high quality reliability can be manufactured under the room temperature condition of an unheated original wire by controlling the pressing-cutting-transfer method of the processing unit.

[0015] Moreover, according to an embodiment of the present invention, when adopting a structure in which the processing unit rotates to form knots in multiple directions, since there is no need to rotate the original wire, a lifting wire that maintains the durability of the original wire such as tensile force can be manufactured.

[0016] In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a device that continuously executes the processes from the processing of the original wire to the manufacturing and packaging of the lifting wire can be applied, so the manufacturing process efficiency of the lifting wire can be greatly improved.

[0017] Furthermore, according to an embodiment of the present invention, before packaging the product, the evaluation of the assembled state can be automatically performed, so the quality reliability and the manufacturing process efficiency can be improved simultaneously.

[0028] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below and can be implemented in various different ways. These embodiments are only used to make the disclosure of the present invention complete so that those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present invention belongs can further fully understand the content of the present invention.

[0029] In this specification, when it is stated that a certain structural element is "above" or "below" another structural element, it includes the meaning that the above-mentioned certain element is directly "above" or "below" another structural element or an additional structural element is interposed therebetween. In this specification, the terms "upper part" or "lower part" are relative concepts set based on the perspective of the observer. As the perspective of the observer changes, the "upper part" may mean the "lower part", and the "lower part" may mean the "upper part".

[0030] In multiple drawings, the same reference numerals represent the same structural elements. Also, terms such as "comprising" or "having" are used to specify the presence of the described features, numbers, steps, operations, structural elements, components, or combinations thereof, and do not preclude the presence or additional possibility of one or more other features, numbers, steps, operations, structural elements, components, or combinations thereof in advance.

[0031] Also, in the present invention, "cutting" refers to the process of forming a knot in the original wire, including both molding cutting and simple cutting.

[0032] Also, in the present invention, the "original wire" refers to the form supplied by the supply unit before the step of forming a knot, the "lifting wire" refers to the form in which a knot is formed in the above-mentioned original wire, and the "lifting wire assembly" refers to the state in which a tube is provided on the above-mentioned lifting wire or the state of the provided tube and the cover.

[0033] In the process of forming a knot in the existing lifting wire, when heat-treating the original wire, as the physical properties of the original wire change or the surface shape is deformed, not only the problem of reduced quality reliability occurs, but also, since it is difficult to form knots in multiple directions in the lifting wire and a method of rotating the original wire needs to be used, therefore, in the process of rotating the original wire, the inventor realized that the manufactured lifting wire has problems such as reduced durability of tensile force and the like. In order to solve the above problems and invent a lifting wire manufacturing device that continuously performs the process from forming a knot in the original wire to packaging the lifting wire, finally, after various attempts and errors, the present invention was invented.

[0034] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0035] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram for briefly showing a lifting wire manufacturing device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 As shown in Figure 1 , the lifting wire manufacturing apparatus includes: a supply unit 100 for supplying a raw wire; a processing unit 200 for forming knots in multiple directions on the surface of the raw wire supplied from the supply unit 100 to manufacture a lifting wire; an assembly unit 300 for assembling a tube and a cover to the lifting wire manufactured by the processing unit 200 to manufacture a lifting wire assembly; and a packaging unit 400 for aseptically packaging the lifting wire assembly manufactured by the assembly unit 300.

[0037] In Figure 1 As shown in Figure 1 , the arrow indicated refers to the moving direction of the raw wire. The present invention can be automatically executed and inspected, and the process from the supply of the raw wire to the packaging does not require the intervention of a worker.

[0038] The lifting wire manufacturing apparatus of the present invention can continuously execute the overall process from the processing of the raw wire to the aseptic packaging of the lifting wire assembly to improve the manufacturing process efficiency of the lifting wire, and can execute the overall process under room temperature conditions without heating the raw wire to manufacture a lifting wire with high quality reliability.

[0039] Figure 2 FIG. is a schematic view briefly showing the processing unit according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 As shown in Figure 2 , the processing unit 200 includes: a pressing unit 280 for pressing the raw wire; a cutting unit 290 for forming knots in the raw wire; an operation driving unit 270 for controlling the driving of the pressing unit 280 and the cutting unit 290; and a rotation driving unit 220 for rotating the pressing unit 280, the cutting unit 290, and the operation driving unit 270.

[0041] In the lifting wire manufacturing apparatus of the present invention, the processing unit 200 can form knots in multiple directions through the rotation driving unit 220 to maintain the durability of the raw wire without rotating the raw wire.

[0042] The pressing unit 280 and the cutting unit 290 are arranged in sequence along the moving direction of the raw wire. For example, the pressing unit 280 and the cutting unit 290 may each include two or more units based on the raw wire. As an example, the pressing unit 280 includes an upper pressing unit 281 and a lower pressing unit 282, and at least one of the upper pressing unit 281 and the lower pressing unit 282 can move in the vertical direction along the moving direction of the raw wire. As an example, the cutting unit 290 includes an upper cutting unit 291 and a lower cutting unit 292, and at least one of the upper cutting unit 291 and the lower cutting unit 292 can move in the vertical direction along the moving direction of the raw wire.

[0043] In order to enable the processing unit 200 to sequentially execute the four motions of "raw wire movement - pressing - cutting - rotation" according to a pre - input order, the processing drive unit 270 may include: a main shaft drive unit 271; a pressing unit drive unit 272 and a cutting unit drive unit 273, which are controlled according to the driving method of the main shaft drive unit 271. For example, the processing drive unit 270 may include a piston.

[0044] In order to enable knots to be formed in multiple directions along the raw wire, the processing unit 200 can control the four motions of "raw wire movement - pressing - cutting - rotation".

[0045] For example, the processing unit 200 may perform the following steps: move the raw wire to the pressing unit 280; after pressing a specified area (not shown) of the raw wire, release the pressing of the pressing unit 280; move the above - mentioned specified area (not shown) of the released - pressed raw wire to the cutting unit 290; make the cutting unit 290 cut the above - mentioned specified area (not shown) of the raw wire; rotate the pressing unit 280 and the cutting unit 290 by driving the rotation drive unit 220; after pressing the rear - end area (not shown) of the above - mentioned specified area (not shown), release the pressing of the pressing unit 280; move the above - mentioned rear - end area (not shown) of the released - pressed raw wire to the cutting unit 290; make the cutting unit 290 cut the above - mentioned rear - end area (not shown) of the raw wire; and rotate the pressing unit 280 and the cutting unit 290 by driving the rotation drive unit 220. As an example, the above processes may be executed in the above order or simultaneously.

[0046] For example, the above pressing is performed under the processing conditions that the thickness of the lifting wire 5 is in the range of 0.2 mm to 0.5 mm and within 10 seconds. After releasing the pressing, the cutting work may be performed according to the thickness of the lifting wire to form a width of 0.2 mm to 1.1 mm.

[0047] Instead of performing cutting while pressing in the above - mentioned manner, in the state of released pressing, the present invention realizes continuous processing by performing a cutting process, and can effectively process an appropriate shape according to the manufacturing and forming conditions to improve the quality reliability.

[0048] Moreover, as the present invention controls the four motions of "raw wire movement - pressing - cutting - rotation" in the above - mentioned manner, except for the case of forming a simple knot in the raw wire, even in the case of forming a molded knot, the processing process can be executed at room temperature without heating the raw wire to improve the quality reliability of the raw wire.

[0049] Figure 3 The figure shows the structural diagram of the processing unit according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0050] Refer to Figure 3, the processing unit 200 may include a support unit 210, a rotation driving unit 220, a side support plate 230, an upper support plate 240, a lower support plate 250, a fixing plate 260, a main shaft driving unit 271, a pressing unit driving unit 272, a cutting unit driving unit 273, an upper pressing unit 281, a lower pressing unit 282, an upper cutting unit 291, and a lower cutting unit 292. The combination relationship and working method of the above structures can achieve the effects of the present invention described above.

[0051] The support unit 210 not only prevents the original wire 1 wound around the spool 2 of the supply unit 100 from moving due to the original wire transfer tool 3, but also supports the rotational movement of the processing unit 200. For example, a through hole (not shown) may be formed in the support unit 210 to allow the original wire 1 to pass through, and the original wire transfer tool 3 may be additionally provided in the through hole (not shown) to transfer the original wire 1 under appropriate tension. For example, the support unit 210 may be formed as a fixed structure in the processing unit 200.

[0052] When connected to the support unit 210, the rotation driving unit 220 can perform a rotational movement. For example, it may include the driving of a motor. For example, a through hole (not shown) may be formed in the rotation driving unit 220 to allow the original wire 1 to pass through. The rotation driving unit 220 can rotate a preset angle. For example, if the initial position is 0°, it can rotate +30°, +60°, -30°, -60°. Thus, a spiral multi-directional knot can be formed along six directions.

[0053] The side support plate 230 is connected to the rotation driving unit 220 and can rotate due to the rotational movement of the rotation driving unit 200. For example, a through hole (not shown) may be formed in the rotation driving unit 220 to allow the original wire 1 to pass through.

[0054] The fixing plate 260 extends along the moving direction of the original wire 1 at one end of the side support plate 230 and can rotate due to the rotational movement of the side support plate 230.

[0055] The upper support plate 240 and the lower support plate 250 are arranged facing each other with the fixing plate 260 as a reference and can be connected by at least one main shaft driving unit 271. For example, in order to improve space utilization efficiency, the main shaft driving unit 271 may have a structure that penetrates the fixing plate 260.

[0056] Refer to Figure 2 The pressing unit 280 and the cutting unit 290 described can be arranged in sequence along the moving direction of the original wire 1 between the upper support plate 240 and the lower support plate 250.

[0057] The upper pressing unit 281 is fixed to the fixing plate 260, and the lower pressing unit 282 and the lower support plate 250 can be connected by the pressing unit driving unit 272.

[0058] The upper unit 291 of the cutting part is connected to the upper support plate 240 through the cutting part driving part 273, and the lower unit 292 of the cutting part can be connected and fixed to the fixing plate 260 through a separate connecting member (not shown).

[0059] In the structures constituting the processing part 200, some structures can move in the vertical direction along the moving direction of the original line through the main shaft driving part 271, the pressing part driving part 272, and the cutting part driving part 273.

[0060] For example, the fixing plate 260, the upper unit 281 of the pressing part, and the lower unit 291 of the cutting part are fixed, and the upper support plate 240, the lower support plate 250, the lower unit 282 of the pressing part, and the upper unit 291 of the cutting part can move in the vertical direction along the moving direction of the original line 1. As an example, the upper support plate 240 and the lower support plate 250 can move together by the drive of the main shaft driving part 271. As an example, a common driving member (not shown) for applying power can be provided on the upper support plate 240 or the lower support plate 250 to make the upper support plate 240 and the lower support plate 250 move in the vertical direction along the moving direction of the original line 1. As an example, the above-mentioned common driving member can be provided on the side of the driving part 200 or on the upper part of the upper support plate 240. As the driving force of the above-mentioned common driving member is transmitted to the upper support plate 240 and the lower support plate 250, in addition to the upper support plate 240 and the lower support plate 250, it is also transmitted to the pressing part 280 and the cutting part 290 connected to it through the operation of the driving part 270. Thus, the pressing-cutting work can be controlled.

[0061] For example, as the lower support plate 250 moves along the direction of the upper support plate 240 by the drive of the main shaft driving part 271, the lower unit 282 and the upper unit 281 of the pressing part can press the original line 1 disposed therebetween. Then, as the upper support plate 240 moves along the direction of the lower support plate 250 by the drive of the main shaft driving part 271, the pressing force applied to the original line 1 can be released. Subsequently, the original line 1 can be moved by the original line moving tool 3 so that the pressing area is disposed between the upper unit 291 and the lower unit 292 of the cutting part. Then, as the upper support plate 240 moves along the direction of the lower support plate 250 by the drive of the main shaft driving part 271, the upper unit 291 and the lower unit 292 of the cutting part can cut the original line 1 disposed therebetween. Then, as the lower support plate 250 moves along the direction of the upper support plate 240 by the drive of the main shaft driving part 271, the upper unit 291 and the lower unit 292 of the cutting part can be separated. Subsequently, the work of moving the original line 1 by the original line moving tool 3 and the drive of the rotation driving part 220 can be used to perform the work of rotating the pressing part 280, the cutting part 290, and the processing driving part 270 around the original line 1.

[0062] Figure 4 Structural diagram of the processing unit showing another embodiment of the present invention.

[0063] In the present invention, the processing unit 200a may include: at least one pair of the above-mentioned pressing units and the above-mentioned cutting units; at least one pair of the above-mentioned operation driving units; and at least one pair of the above-mentioned rotation driving units for rotating at least one pair of the above-mentioned pressing units and the above-mentioned cutting units. In Figure 4 Although it includes a pair of the above-mentioned processing units as shown in Figure 3 However, between the pair of the above-mentioned support units and the above-mentioned rotation driving unit, more than one number of the above-mentioned processing units as shown in Figure 3 may also be included. Figure 4 The respective structural names and arrangement manners of Figure 3 can directly adopt the manner shown in

[0064] For example, the processing unit 200a may include: a first rotation driving unit 221, both end portions of which are constituted by a first support unit 211 and a second support unit 212 and which is connected to the first support unit 211; and a second rotation driving unit 222, which is connected to the second support unit 212.

[0065] The first rotation driving unit 221 is connected to a first side support plate 231, and the second rotation driving unit 222 may be connected to a second side support plate 232.

[0066] In Figure 4 Although the first side support plate 231 and the second side support plate 232 are connected to a single fixing plate 260, however, the first side support plate 231 and the second side support plate 232 may also be respectively connected to different fixing plates, and the above-mentioned fixing plate rotates as the first side support plate 231 and the second side support plate 232 rotate.

[0067] In Figure 4 In the processing unit 200a shown in Figure 4It is shown that, however, the nth configuration structure with a value of 3 or more may include an nth upper support plate, an nth lower support plate, an nth main shaft drive unit, an nth press-fitting unit drive unit, an nth cutting unit drive unit, an nth upper unit of the press-fitting unit, an nth lower unit of the press-fitting unit, an nth upper unit of the cutting unit, and an nth lower unit of the cutting unit.

[0068] The specific configuration and driving method of each structure arranged at the front end and the rear end may adopt Figure 3 the manner shown.

[0069] For example, in Figure 4 the structure of the processing unit 200a shown, at least one pair of the press-fitting unit and the cutting unit may simultaneously form knots in an area separated from the original line 1 by a predetermined distance.

[0070] For example, the knot shape formed by the first upper unit 291a of the cutting unit and the first lower unit 292a of the cutting unit may be the same as or different from the knot shape formed by the second upper unit 291b of the cutting unit and the second lower unit 292b of the cutting unit, and the formation angle of the knots may be the same or different.

[0071] For example, the knots formed by the first upper unit 291a of the cutting unit and the first lower unit 292a of the cutting unit and the knots formed by the second upper unit 291b of the cutting unit and the second lower unit 292b of the cutting unit are of the same shape, but the inclination angles may be formed in opposite directions.

[0072] On the other hand, after the supply unit 100 supplies the original line 1 to the processing units 200 and 200a and manufactures the lifting line, after cutting according to a predetermined length unit, the cutting unit may be transferred to the assembly unit. As an example, the cutting unit may be transferred by a conveyor belt, may also be transferred by being gripped by a jig, or may be transferred by a combination thereof.

[0073] Figure 5 It is a schematic diagram briefly showing the assembly unit and the packaging unit in the lifting line manufacturing device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0074] Referring to Figure 5 , the assembly unit 300 includes a pipe setting unit 310 and a cover assembly unit 320, and the packaging unit 400 includes a first packaging material input unit 410 and a second packaging material input unit 420. In Figure 5 , the arrow indicates the moving direction of the lifting line, and the processes from assembly to packaging are continuously executed and inspected without the interference of workers.

[0075] The pipe setting unit 310 is used to set a pipe at one end of the lifting line, and the cover assembly unit 320 assembles a cover for the lifting line with the pipe provided to form a lifting line assembly. In this regard, the following will refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 for a detailed description.

[0076] Figures 6 to 10 A diagram showing the assembly unit of an embodiment of the present invention performing the lifting wire assembly process.

[0077] Referring to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the assembly unit 300 may include a rotating plate 360. Referring to Figures 8 to 10 , the assembly unit 300 may include an assembly unit transfer unit 340.

[0078] The rotating plate 360 can perform a rotational movement and includes a lifting wire placement unit 330 for placing the lifting wire 5. As the lifting wire 5 processed by the transfer processing unit ( Figure 3 100) is being transferred, the original wire ( Figure 3 1) can be placed on the lifting wire placement unit 330.

[0079] The assembly unit transfer unit 340 can hold the lifting wire 5 placed on the lifting wire placement unit 330 to disengage it from the rotating plate 360 and transfer it to the packaging unit ( Figure 1 400).

[0080] After the lifting wire 5 processed by the processing unit ( Figure 1 200) is placed on the lifting wire placement unit 330, as Figure 6 shown, the tube setting unit 310 can set the tube 4 on one lifting wire 5 placed on the lifting wire placement unit 330. For example, if the lifting wire placement unit 330 is located at a predetermined position due to the rotation of the rotating plate 360, the tube setting unit 310 can set the tube 4 through a reciprocating motion and return to its original position. In the case where the tube 4 is set on the lifting wire 5, after the rotating plate 360 rotates a specified angle along the arrow direction shown in the figure, as Figure 7 shown, the tube setting unit 310 sets the tube 4 on another lifting wire 5 behind one lifting wire 5 with reference to the rotation direction of the rotating plate 360. At the same time or sequentially, as Figure 8 shown, as the assembly unit transfer unit 340 holds the lifting wire 5 with the tube 4 set thereon, as Figure 9 shown, it disengages from the lifting wire placement unit 330. For example, the assembly unit transfer unit clamp 341 provided on the assembly unit transfer unit 340 can hold the lifting wire 5. Subsequently, as Figure 10 shown, the lifting wire 5 and the cover 6 can be assembled by moving the assembly unit transfer unit 340.

[0081] For example, the tube 4 can function to fix the lifting wire 5 to the needle and can be made of polystyrene foam.

[0082] For example, in Figure 8 , after the assembly unit transfer unit clamp 341 holds the lifting wire 5, the assembly unit transfer unit 340, the rotating plate 360, and the lifting wire placement unit 330 move upward in the vertical direction. InFigure 9 In this case, the jig 341 of the assembly unit transfer unit rotates 90° with respect to the assembly unit transfer unit 340, and Figure 10 In this case, the assembly unit transfer unit 340, the rotary plate 360, and the lifting wire placement unit 330 move downward along the vertical direction, so that the lifting wire 5 can be assembled to the cover 6. The space utilization efficiency required for the execution process can be improved based on the above method.

[0083] Refer to Figure 25 , the cover 6 may include a needle cap 6a, a catheter cannula 6b, a hub 6c, and a stopper 6d.

[0084] The needle cap 6a may function as a cap for protecting the end of the catheter cannula 6b and the lifting wire 5.

[0085] The catheter cannula 6b may be referred to as a needle tube, which is the part inserted into the body and can be used as a needle for inserting the absorbent lifting wire 5 into the tissue (skin).

[0086] During the operation, the hub 6c can be used as a handle.

[0087] The stopper 6d can be used to fix the lifting wire 5 to the hub 6c.

[0088] For example, as the assembly unit transfer unit 340, the rotary plate 360, and the lifting wire placement unit 330 move downward along the vertical direction, after inserting the lifting wire 5 into the assembly of the catheter cannula, the hub, and the stopper, the needle cap can be assembled thereto to manufacture the lifting wire assembly 5a.

[0089] Figure 11 And Figure 12 FIG. is a view showing the inspection unit of an embodiment of the present invention inspecting the assembled state of the lifting wire.

[0090] As Figure 11 And Figure 12 shown, the inspection unit 350 can perform at least one of inspecting the setting state of the lifting wire 5 and the tube 4 and inspecting the assembled state of the lifting wire assembly 5a.

[0091] For example, as Figure 9 shown, after the jig 341 of the assembly unit transfer unit rotates 90° with respect to the assembly unit transfer unit 340, as Figure 11 shown, the inspection unit 350 can first confirm the setting state of the lifting wire 5 and the tube 4. For example, the inspection unit 350 can determine whether there is an abnormality in the setting state based on the captured image information, and can display its structure through a display. When there is an abnormality, the lifting wire 5 can be transferred to an additional accumulation part (not shown), rather than being transferred to the assembly unit.

[0092] For example, as Figure 11As shown, after the inspection unit 350 performs the inspection, as the assembly unit transfer unit 340 descends for the first time, the inspection unit 350 can secondarily confirm whether there is any abnormality in the opposite area where the tube 4 is set on the lifting line. Subsequently, the assembly unit transfer unit 340 can rise again and move to the part where the cover 6 is configured and descend for the second time, whereby the lifting line 5 and the cover 6 can be assembled. Then, the assembly unit transfer unit 340 rises again and moves to the part where the inspection unit 350 is configured and descends for the third time, and the assembly state of the cover 6 and the lifting line 5 can be thirdly confirmed. For example, when performing the third inspection, the assembly condition of the above-mentioned needle cap and the above-mentioned catheter sleeve, the assembly state of the above-mentioned stopper portion, etc. can be inspected. For example, at least one of the first inspection to the third inspection may include visual inspection.

[0093] As described above, the present invention can greatly improve the quality reliability by measuring the quality of the lifting line assembly 5a through three inspections.

[0094] Figures 13 to 16 It is a diagram showing the packaging process of the lifting line assembly by the packaging unit according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0095] Referring to Figure 5 and Figures 13 to 16 , the packaging unit ( Figure 1 400) includes a first packaging material input unit 410 and a second packaging material input unit 420.

[0096] Referring to Figure 13 , a lifting line assembly 5a that has been inspected by an inspection unit ( Figure 12 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 350) as shown can be prepared.

[0097] Referring to Figure 14 , in the first packaging material input unit 410, the assembly unit transfer unit 340 can input the lifting line assembly 5a into the first packaging material 7.

[0098] Referring to Figure 15 and Figure 16 , in the second packaging material input unit 420, the first packaging material 7 for packaging the lifting line assembly 5a can be input into the second packaging material 8.

[0099] For example, the first packaging material input unit 410 and the second packaging material input unit 420 can be separated from each other in terms of space. As an example, the second packaging material input unit 420 is disposed below the first packaging material input unit 410. Even without setting an additional jig, after the lifting line assembly 5a is input into the first packaging material 7, it can be input into the second packaging material 8, thereby improving the space utilization efficiency.

[0100] For example, the first packaging material 7 may include an aluminum bag, and the second packaging material 8 may include aseptic paper.

[0101] For example, the packaging process of the packaging unit ( Figure 1 400) includes the following steps: attaching a label to the first packaging material 7; inserting one or more lifting line assemblies 5a into the open inlet of the first packaging material 7 and sealing the inlet of the first packaging material 7; inserting the first packaging material 7 into the open inlet of the second packaging material 8 and sealing the inlet of the second packaging material 8; and discharging the second packaging material 8 to a storage unit (not shown). In this case, it may further include the following step: before inserting the sealed first packaging material 7 into the second packaging material 8, sterilizing it with EO gas. Also, the process of inserting the first packaging material 7 into the open inlet of the second packaging material 8 and the process of sealing the inlet of the second packaging material 8 may be performed inside a glass box.

[0102] Figures 17 to 24 A diagram showing a lifting line manufactured by a lifting line manufacturing device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0103] As described above, in the present invention, the above processing unit may perform both the above molding cutting and the above simple cutting. Examples of the above molding cutting are Figures 17 to 23 as shown, and examples of the above simple cutting are Figure 24 as shown.

[0104] As described with reference to Figure 3 the content, the present invention can form a one-dimensional knot in a flat form by controlling the above processing unit to perform three motion operations of "original line movement - pressing - cutting", and can form a two-dimensional, three-dimensional or higher-dimensional knot by controlling four motion operations of "original line movement - pressing - cutting - rotation".

[0105] Figure 17 Shows a lifting line manufactured by the above processing unit in the manner Figure 3 shown, Figure 18 shows a lifting line in which the knots 9a and 9b are the same or have opposite inclination angles in the manner Figure 4 shown by the above processing unit, Figure 19 shows a lifting line according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Figure 19 , the above lifting line according to an embodiment of the present invention can be formed by forming spiral multi-directional knots 9 on the original line.

[0106] Figures 20 to 22 Shows a lifting line in which the knots 9 are formed along a three-dimensional direction by controlling four motion operations of "original line movement - pressing - cutting - rotation" by the above processing unit in the manner Figure 3 shown, Figure 21 is Figure 20An enlarged view of the display area c Figure 22 is Figure 20 the length direction of the lifting line of, that is, the view observed from the y direction. Refer to Figure 19 and Figure 22 , in the lifting line of an embodiment of the present invention, the knots 9 can be uniformly formed along a specified direction.

[0107] Figure 23 shows that according to Figure 3 the method shown above, the "original wire movement - pressing - cutting - rotating" four kinds of motion operations are controlled by the above processing unit to form the lifting line of the knot 9c along the two-dimensional direction, different from Figures 17 to 22 the knots of the lifting line shown, a knot 9c in the shape of a butterfly is formed.

[0108] Figure 24 shows the knot 9d manufactured by performing the above simple cutting. For example, the above knot 9d can be formed by cutting the side of the above original wire at a specified angle by the above cutting unit until reaching the specified depth of the above original wire.

[0109] On the other hand, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the above original wire for forming the above knot can be made of a material with elasticity.

[0110] For example, the above original wire can be made of a bio-non-absorbent medical polymer material, for example, selected from one of polypropylene, nylon, and their mixtures. For example, the above original wire can be made into a circle of polyglyconate silk USP2 to USP5-0 specifications.

[0111] For example, the above bio-absorbent medical polymer material can include one selected from the copolymers composed of polydioxanone (PDO), poly-(L-lactic) acid (PLLA), polyglycolic acid (PCL), polycaprolactone, and their combinations.

[0112] Polydioxanone (PDO) can be hydrolyzed and excreted with urine. When decomposed, it can improve skin elasticity by stimulating collagen production and promoting skin regeneration. Due to relatively weak heat resistance, it can be decomposed in 6 to 8 months.

[0113] Poly-(L-lactic) acid (PLLA), as the raw material of left-handed poly-lactic acid, starts to decompose into H2O, CO2, and glucose after about 2 months, and can continuously generate collagen through decomposition. The wire made of poly-lactic acid material has low elasticity and is stiff. After insertion, it can cause a foreign body sensation and pain, and can be maintained for 18 months.

[0114] Polycaprolactone, used as a raw material for Yiliansi, decomposes into H2O and CO2, and can continuously generate collagen through decomposition. The thread made of polycaprolactone is flexible and has less foreign body sensation. However, it is difficult to mold due to its low elasticity. Polycaprolactone can be maintained for 24 months.

[0115] For example, the lifting thread can be applied to various types of PDO original threads such as cutting threads, double-sided knot threads (two-dimensional), Epiticon threads, N-Fix threads, Concertina threads, Scaffold threads, and TESSLIFT-SOFT threads (including cutting knot center lines and meshes).

[0116] As described above, the detailed description of the present invention can be made complete with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings. The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the preferred examples of the present invention. The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and the scope of the rights of the present invention should be understood based on the scope of the patent application for the invention and its equivalent concepts.

[0117] For example, for the sake of easy understanding, although the drawings schematically show the main bodies of the respective structural elements, considering the production process of the drawings, in each drawing, the thickness, length, quantity, etc. of the respective structural elements may not conform to the actual situation. And in the above embodiments, the materials, shapes, sizes, etc. of the respective structural elements are only examples and are not limited thereto. The present invention can be variously modified within the scope not departing from the actual effects.
