[0021] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] The present utility model provides an adjustable-bend PTFE catheter as Figures 1-3 shown, including a catheter body 1 and an end a 2 installed at the right end of the catheter body 1;
[0023] The left end of the catheter body 1 is fixedly connected with an end b4. The catheter body 1 is the main bearing channel for dredging fluids. When transporting fluids, the end a2 is clamped between the end a2 and the output end, and the end b4 is aligned with the storage box for storing fluids or connected to other interfaces. After the output end outputs the fluids, they will be guided through the catheter body 1 and input into other equipment. At the same time, when placing the catheter body 1, it can be bent to achieve a suitable flow path;
[0024] A plurality of metal wires 8 are equidistantly arranged inside the catheter body 1 to limit the angle of the catheter body 1 after bending. When bending the catheter body 1, the angle of the catheter body 1 after bending can be limited by the metal wires 8, avoiding the situation where the bent catheter body 1 slowly rebounds and resets.
[0025] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a card slot 5 is opened inside the catheter body 1. A plurality of fixing rings 6 are fixedly connected equidistantly from left to right inside the card slot 5. A secondary pipe 3 is fixedly connected between the inner walls of the plurality of fixing rings 6. Limiting grooves 7 that penetrate through from front to back are opened at the four corners of the front outer wall of the plurality of fixing rings 6 to limit the position of the metal wires 8.
[0026] A card slot 5 is opened inside the catheter body 1 to pre-position the positions of the plurality of fixing rings 6. Subsequently, the positions of the plurality of fixing rings 6 are limited by the secondary pipe 3. A plurality of limiting grooves 7 opened between the plurality of fixing rings 6 can connect the plurality of fixing rings 6 together through a plurality of metal wires 8, and at the same time limit the position of the metal wires 8 themselves.
[0027] As Figure 4 As shown, fillers 9 are provided between the plurality of metal wires 8 and the card slot 5. The outer circular walls of the plurality of metal wires 8 are all wrapped with a sheath 10. The filler 9 is a hollow silica gel material, and the plurality of metal wires 8 are all made of stainless steel materials.
[0028] Through the sheath 10 and the filler 9, when the metal wires 8 are bent, the wear of the metal wires 8 on the inner wall of the catheter body 1 can be reduced, thereby avoiding the loss of the thickness of the inner wall of the catheter body 1.
[0029] As Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the plurality of fixing rings 6 are fixedly connected to the catheter body 1 and the secondary pipe 3 by means of bonding. The sheath 10 is made of polyethylene plastic material.
[0030] Through the bonding method, the fixing rings 6 can be tightly connected to the catheter body 1 and the secondary pipe 3.
[0031] As Figure 1As shown, the catheter body 1, the end a 2, and the end b 4 are all made of polytetrafluoroethylene material. A through opening that penetrates from left to right is provided between the catheter body 1, the end a 2, and the end b 4.
[0032] The catheter body 1, the end a 2, the end b 4, and the auxiliary tube 3 made of polytetrafluoroethylene material have good chemical stability, and at the same time have high temperature resistance and good electrical conductivity, and can adapt to most usage environments. The through opening that penetrates from left to right enables smoother fluid transportation.
[0033] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: When transporting fluid, the end a 2 is clamped with the output end, and the end b 4 is aligned with the storage box for storing fluid or connected to other interfaces. After the output end outputs the fluid, it will be guided by the catheter body 1 and input into other devices. At the same time, when placing the catheter body 1, it can be bent to achieve a suitable flow path. When bending the catheter body 1, the angle after bending of the catheter body 1 can be restricted by the metal wire 8 to avoid the situation where the bent catheter body 1 slowly rebounds and resets.
[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
