[0023] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "installed", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0024] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 shown, a test tool for the fixed strength after the heat setting of a pipe body includes a water tank 1, a fixing tool 2, and a heating rod 3. The upper end of the water tank 1 is provided with a through hole, and the side wall is provided with a heating hole near the lower part. The heating section of the heating rod 3 passes through the heating hole and is fixedly connected to the water tank 1. One end of the heating rod 3 located outside the water tank 1 is connected to a heating control box 10. The surface of the heating control box 10 is provided with an operation display screen. The side wall of the water tank 1 is provided with a temperature sensor near the upper part. The temperature sensor is electrically connected to the heating control box 10. The heating control box 10 can be connected to a socket through a power cord or can be internally provided with a mobile power source. The water tank 1 is a transparent water tank, and a water injection hole is provided at the top. The fixing tool 2 is in the shape of a frustum of a cone with a large top and a small bottom. The lower part 5 passes through the through hole and extends into the water tank 1. The lower surface of the upper part 4 fits with the upper surface of the water tank 1. The upper part 4 is provided with an opening groove 6. The opening groove 6 is lower than the lower surface of the upper part 4. The lower part 5 is provided with a tapered groove 7 with a small top and a large bottom. The diameter D of the large end of the tapered groove 7 is 50 mm; the taper angle θ of the tapered groove is 60°; the bottom of the opening groove 6 and the top of the tapered groove 7 are connected by a small hole 8.

[0025] Taking the test of the fixed strength after the heat setting of the tail end of a ureteral stent as an example, the two ends of the catheter of the ureteral stent are curled and processed by heat setting. Before the test, first cut the catheter 9 in the middle to obtain two half catheters 9, and test the two tail ends respectively. Remove the fixing tool 2, and pass the small end of the half catheter 9 upward through the small hole 8, and the large end (tail end) is retained in the tapered groove 7 at the lower part of the fixing tool 2. As Figure 2 shown, the value of the diameter d of the small hole 8 is related to the product specification. The diameter of the small hole 8 is slightly larger than the diameter of the catheter 9 to be measured and smaller than the width of the tail end of the catheter 9 to be measured. When the specification of the catheter 9 is 3.7 - 8.5 Fr, the diameter d of the small hole 8 is 3.18 mm. When the specification of the catheter 9 is 10 Fr, the diameter d of the small hole 8 is 4.04 mm. When the specification of the catheter 9 is 14 Fr, the diameter d of the small hole 8 is 5.33 mm. Fr is the unit of the catheter 9, and 1 Fr ≈ 0.33 mm. Then inject water into the water tank 1, and the water surface should be higher than the bottom surface of the opening groove 6 and lower than the top surface of the water tank 1. The heating control box 10 can adjust the heating temperature according to the feedback signal of the temperature sensor to keep the water tank 1 in a constant temperature state. As Figure 2As shown, the heat-set end of the catheter 9 is immersed in constant-temperature water, and the upper end is clamped by the test equipment and pulled upward for the fixed strength test after the end heat setting. The general requirement for the fixed strength of the end of the catheter 9 after heat setting is not less than 0.1 N. In this embodiment, after the catheter 9 is completely pulled out, the maximum value during the pulling process is taken as the test value, and meeting the fixed strength requirement indicates that the product is qualified. The material of the fixing tooling 2 is PTFE, and its weight is much greater than that of the catheter 9, so that during the test process, it can be ensured that the end 11 (test end) of the catheter 9 is always in the water tank 1, that is, the test is carried out under a constant temperature state.

[0026] Certainly, the present utility model can also have many other embodiments. Without departing from the spirit and essence of the present utility model, those skilled in the art can make various corresponding changes and deformations according to the present utility model, but these corresponding changes and deformations should all fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of the present utility model.
