When the hyaluronic acid tube is being transported, the high-speed airflow in the center transmits vibration to the extended outer tube 32. At this time, the active rotating wheel 510 is controlled to rotate, and the toothed ring 511 meshes with the outer surface of the active rotating wheel 510, thus realizing the linkage of the connecting arm 512. (Refer to...) Figure 9 and Figure 12 As shown, when the connecting arm 512 rotates in both directions, it drives the rotating ring 502 to deflect. At this time, the cam plate 504 swings under the deflection action of the eccentric protrusion 503, thus realizing the synchronous deflection of multiple sets of cam plates 504. This allows the cam plate 504 to provide auxiliary support to the surface of the extension tube 32, suppressing the vibration at both ends of the extension tube 32 and maintaining stability, thereby further achieving a stable effect when guiding and feeding the hyaluronic acid tube.

[0025] Example 5, see attached document Figures 1-14 Based on Embodiment 4, the present invention also proposes a method for using a guide feeder for laser cutting of medical hypotubes, comprising the following steps: Step 1: First, one end of the hyaluronic acid tube enters the extended outer tube 32 through the inner sealing ring plate 33. The air guide hole is connected to a high-pressure air source. The airflow enters the cavity formed by the inner sealing ring plate 33 and the limiting sleeve 31. At this time, the turbine 332 is driven by the airflow to rotate at high speed, and the airflow is evenly dispersed. The airflow always rotates and flows at high speed along the inclined side wall of the diffuser 321 and the equalizer 331 of the extended outer tube 32. The airflow will flow along the flow cavity formed by the inner side of the diffuser 321 and the outer side of the equalizer 331. A high-speed airflow is formed in the center, and the circumferential airflow converges to the center, so that the hyaluronic acid tube in the center is transported along the central path. The high-speed airflow in the center can avoid the twisting of the tube. Step 2: When the airflow in the flow cavity is affected by the high-speed airflow in the center and converges towards the center, multiple sets of curved floats 341 swing inward. Under the elastic action of the elastic wire 343, dynamic compensation is achieved, so that multiple sets of contact wheels 3421 provide auxiliary guidance for the pipe and avoid pipe twisting during transport. Step 3: When the sodium hypochlorite tube is under the action of high-speed airflow and transport in the center, the sodium hypochlorite tube outputs through the output end of the extended outer tube 32. When the sodium hypochlorite tube is clamped, the electric telescopic rod 43 is controlled to retract. At this time, its output end drives the protective cover 42 and the push ring 421 to move horizontally towards the side closer to the rear cover plate 212. The push ring 421 squeezes the inner spring clip 442. During the process of the spring clip assembly 44 being pushed inward as a whole, the adapting slope 4421 on the outer side of the spring clip 442 abuts against the inner side wall of the inner slope 411. In this way, multiple sets of spring clips 442 clamp the sodium hypochlorite tube in the center. Step four, when the hypotube is clamped, control the whole installation unit 2 to move horizontally on the laser cutting machine body 1, and drive the clamped hypotube to move to the laser cutting station to implement cutting operation.
