Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of guide wire automatic heat shrinking machines, and more specifically, to a guide wire traction mechanism and a guide wire automatic heat shrinking machine. Background Art

[0002] Guidewires are a general term for a broad category of medical devices, including microguidewires, guidewires, renal artery guidewires, and angiographic guidewires. Based on their function, they can be divided into working guidewires and chronic total occlusion guidewires. Guidewires are essential instruments for coronary intervention, used to enter the coronary arteries or navigate through tortuosity, calcification, stenosis, and collateral circulation to reach the target, establishing a track for delivering balloons, stents, and microcatheters; they are used for guidewire upgrade or downgrade technology to open coronary occlusive lesions; and they pre-enter coronary artery branches for protection and roadmap functions. During production, guidewires require heat shrinkage, and a heat shrink mechanism is required for this process.

[0003] When commonly used medical guide wires are heat-shrinked, the discharge of commonly used guide wire heat-shrinking equipment is mostly manually operated without a corresponding traction mechanism, resulting in low efficiency.

The utility model, through the mutual cooperation between the heating mechanism and the positioning mechanism, can automatically heat and ensure its clamping effect during use, thereby achieving the shrinking effect, avoiding manual operation during use, resulting in manual errors during processing, making the product unable to be subsequently processed and used, or even scrapped, and increasing the processing cost of the product. However, this technical solution does not involve the traction of the guide wire discharge, which affects the overall work efficiency.

[0032] It should be noted that when the output shaft of the electric cylinder 4 is extended or shortened, the two bearing seats 5 will be driven to move closer or farther away synchronously, and the bearing seats 5 will drive the guide rollers 3 to move closer or farther away synchronously; when in use, one end of the guide wire that has been heat-shrunk enters the feed port between the two guide rollers 3, and the electric cylinder 4 pushes the two guide rollers 3 to move closer and clamp the guide wire synchronously, and the motor 8 drives one of the guide rollers 3 to rotate, thereby outputting the guide wire and realizing the automatic traction function of the guide wire; thereby accelerating the discharge speed of the shrunk guide wire and improving work efficiency.

[0040] 2. This new coating equipment uses a motor to move the guidewire up and down, ensuring the integrity of the guidewire and preventing deformation, thereby improving quality and efficiency.
