Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of coating spraying device, more particularly, to a coating spraying device for balloon catheter preparation. BACKGROUND

[0002] Medical balloon catheter is an interventional medical device, which is widely used in the interventional treatment of cardiovascular, peripheral vascular and non-vascular cavity. It is usually used for expanding the narrow lumen (such as blood vessels), delivering and releasing stents, or serving as a delivery platform for other interventional operations. The core functional component of balloon catheter is an inflatable and contractible balloon. A typical medical balloon catheter usually includes the following basic components: a catheter and an inflatable balloon at the distal end of the catheter. In order to reduce the friction between the surface of the catheter and the human tissue and blood, and improve its smoothness in the blood vessel, a hydrophilic coating is usually applied to the surface of the balloon catheter. The hydrophilic coating can significantly reduce tissue damage and vascular trauma during interventional operation, improve the pushability and maneuverability of the catheter, make it easier for doctors to position the catheter to the target position, improve the comfort of patients and reduce the risk of surgical complications. The main process of hydrophilic coating usually involves the following key steps: 1) surface pretreatment: in order to improve the adhesion of the coating to the catheter substrate (such as balloon), the surface needs to be cleaned and activated. The traditional method may include chemical cleaning or preliminary plasma treatment. 2) coating operation: the coating solution is usually applied to the surface of the catheter by dipping, spraying or brushing. Among them, the spraying method is preferred because it can more accurately control the deposition of the coating on the complex shape (such as the folded balloon). 3) curing and crosslinking: the coated catheter needs to be heat treated (such as oven curing) or cured by ultraviolet light, so that the polymers in the coating are crosslinked to form a stable and durable film. Since the uniformity of the thickness of the hydrophilic coating has a direct impact on its lubricity, durability and biocompatibility. In order to accurately control the thickness of the final coating, especially to achieve the thickness requirement of microns or thinner, the existing technology often adopts a multi-step cycle process of "spraying-curing-re-spraying-re-curing". That is, first spray a very thin coating and immediately cure, then repeat the process several times, and accurately accumulate to the target thickness by layer-by-layer stacking.

[0003] Due to the need for repeated switching of equipment and environment in such a "spraying-curing" cycle operation, when lacking corresponding automatic processing devices, not only the operation complexity is increased, but also the production efficiency of single-piece products is significantly reduced. In addition, in the prior art, surface pretreatment (such as plasma cleaning to improve adhesion), spraying coating and curing crosslinking are sometimes independent processes, and the workpiece needs to be transferred between different equipment or stations. There is a lack of an integrated process scheme that seamlessly integrates and continuously performs the three key steps. In addition, when facing the production demand of a large number of balloon catheters, it is necessary to involve the problems of multiple balloon catheter batch feeding and processing one by one. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a new type of efficient batch, automatic and integrated production device suitable for the preparation of hydrophilic coating of medical balloon catheter, to improve the automation degree and batch production capacity of the preparation of hydrophilic coating of balloon catheter.

The balloon catheter 7 comprises an outer tube, an inner tube and a balloon, the distal end of the balloon is connected with the inner tube, and the proximal end of the balloon is connected with the outer tube.

[0073] The spraying position has a second vertical track 9.1, a second moving part 9.2 mounted on the second vertical track 9.1 and movable along the second vertical track 9.1, and a second electric push rod 9.3 mounted on the second moving part 9.2; the ultrasonic spraying unit 9 is connected to the second electric push rod 9.3.

The fixing plate 10.1 is fixed inside the chamber. A pull-down device is installed at the lower displacement position. The pull-down device includes a third vertical track section 12.1, a third moving section 12.2 mounted on the third vertical track section 12.1 and movable along the third vertical track section 12.1, a fourth electric push rod 12.3 mounted on the third moving section 12.2, a translation seat 12.4 connected to the fourth electric push rod 12.3, a rotating mechanism 12.5 mounted on the translation seat 12.4, and a U-shaped rotating frame 12.6 mounted on the rotating mechanism 12.5. The number of upper and lower fixed blocks at the loading position is equal and greater than or equal to 10; the number of upper and lower fixed blocks at the unloading position is equal and greater than or equal to 10.

[0074] Working Principle: The spraying device of this application, as shown in the figure, has a loading position, a positioning position, a spraying position, a curing position, a lowering position, and a unloading position sequentially from upstream to downstream. At the loading position, multiple balloon catheters can be installed on the mounting frame. The horizontal moving part can move the mounting frame one by one, moving it to the positioning position for inserting and positioning the mandrel and cleaning the area of ​​the balloon catheter to be sprayed, moving it to the spraying position for spraying, moving it to the curing position for curing, moving it to the lowering position to lower the L-shaped lifting frame, and finally moving it to the unloading position. The horizontal moving part moves the mounting frame by inserting the movable end of the electric telescopic rod into the positioning hole. Under the external force of the horizontal moving part, the positioning block can be embedded in the positioning groove or emerge from the positioning groove.

[0075] Specifically, in the positioning position, the proximal end of the balloon catheter is held by the clamping block, allowing it to accurately embed into the U-shaped groove of the limiting block. A fan blows air through multiple vents, creating a gentle breeze. This gentle breeze prevents the balloon catheter from contacting the sidewall of the U-shaped groove as the limiting block moves downwards. Once the limiting block reaches the set position, the fan stops, and the limiting airbag inflates, precisely positioning the bottom end of the balloon catheter. Then, the second electric lifting rod rises, causing the L-shaped lifting frame to move upwards. This allows the mandrel to insert into the bottom end of the balloon catheter, and the first and second magnetic blocks attract each other, fixing the L-shaped lifting frame in place. Because of the mandrel's support, the bottom end of the balloon catheter remains more stable when rotating (the mandrel itself can rotate, but it doesn't need to rotate with the balloon catheter; it only needs to limit the bottom end of the balloon catheter). The bottom end of the balloon catheter will not drift. In the positioning position, the balloon catheter rotates, and the plasma cleaning device can clean the sprayed area.

[0076] At the spraying position, the ultrasonic spraying unit sprays the balloon catheter while it rotates. At the curing position, the balloon catheter rotates, and a UV light source cures the sprayed area. The spraying-curing cycle can be automatically switched and repeated multiple times under the drive of the horizontal moving part. In the downward movement position, the U-shaped rotating frame abuts against the second horizontal bar of the L-shaped lifting frame, thereby lowering the L-shaped lifting frame and disengaging the mandrel from the balloon catheter, facilitating the subsequent unloading of the balloon catheter at the unloading position.

[0077] Although the present invention has been illustrated and described with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes and modifications can be made to the present invention without departing from the scope defined by the claims.
