Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hypotube production, in particular to a pipe cleaning device for hypotube production. Background Art

[0002] A hypotube is a long metal tube with micro-engineered features throughout its entire length. It is a key component of minimally invasive catheters and must be used in conjunction with a balloon and stent to open arterial blockages. The balloon portion of the catheter is attached to the distal end of the hypotube. The hypotube enters the body and pushes the balloon along the long, tortuous blood vessels toward the blocked artery. During this process, the hypotube must avoid kinking while remaining able to navigate smoothly within the human anatomy. Hypotubes require cleaning during production using a hypotube production cleaning device.

[0003] Publication number CN219851168U discloses a pipe cleaning device for hypotube production. By setting a spiral auger and a conveyor belt, the two spiral auger are driven to rotate by a motor, and the two spiral auger drive the flow of cleaning liquid. At the same time, the motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, the rotating shaft drives the roller to rotate, and the roller drives the conveyor belt to rotate. Since the conveyor belt is set at an angle, during the rotation process, the conveyor belt can drive the hypotube on it to roll, so that it can be cleaned in all directions; however, the spiral auger set in the device is located below the hypotube and is at a distance from the hypotube, resulting in the spiral auger driving the flow of cleaning liquid to have little effect on the hypotube. For this reason, we propose a pipe cleaning device for hypotube production. Utility Model Content

[0019] The following further describes specific embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the descriptions of these embodiments are intended to aid understanding of the present invention and do not constitute limitations on the present invention. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below may be combined with one another as long as they do not conflict with one another. Example

[0020] See also Figure 1-4 The utility model provides a technical solution: a pipe cleaning device for hypotube production, comprising a base plate 1, a control box 2 is installed at the upper end of the base plate 1, mounting plates 3 are installed on both sides of the upper end of the base plate 1 near the center, and a limit plate 4 is installed on one side of the mounting plate 3, a cleaning cylinder 5 is provided at the center of one side of the mounting plate 3, a first stepping motor 6 is provided on the other side of the mounting plate 3 on one side, and a second stepping motor 7 is provided on the other side of the mounting plate 3 on the other side; a first box cover 8 and a second box cover 9 are respectively installed on the upper side and the lower side of the side wall of the cleaning cylinder 5, a plurality of groups of fixing blocks 11 are installed near one side of the side wall of the cleaning cylinder 5, one end of the fixing block 11 is provided with a first spring 13, one end of the first spring 13 is provided with a clamping block 10, a sliding column 12 is installed at the center of one side of the clamping block 10, a cleaning brush roller 14 is installed on one side of the inner wall of the cleaning cylinder 5, and a filter plate 15 is installed on the lower side of the inner wall of the cleaning cylinder 5

[0021] The first stepper motor 6 is fixedly connected to the cleaning cylinder 5 , and the cleaning cylinder 5 is movably connected to the limiting plate 4 .

[0022] The sliding post 12 passes through the fixing block 11 , and the sliding post 12 is slidably connected to the fixing block 11 .

[0023] The second stepper motor 7 is fixedly connected to the cleaning brush roller 14 , and the cleaning brush roller 14 is located inside the cleaning cylinder 5 .

[0024] Specifically, when the hypotube needs to be cleaned, the blocks 10 on both sides of the first box cover 8 are pushed, so that the blocks 10 push the slide post 12 to slide in the fixed block 11 and squeeze the first spring 13, so that the fixation of the first box cover 8 by the blocks 10 disappears, and then the first box cover 8 is removed, so that the sealing of the first box cover 8 on the cleaning cylinder 5 disappears, and then the hypotube is placed in the cleaning cylinder 5 and the cleaning liquid is added, and then the first box cover 8 is put back to its original position and the blocks 10 are released, so that the blocks 10 return to their original position under the elasticity of the first spring 13 and fix the first box cover 8, and then the first stepper motor 6 and the second stepper motor 6 are respectively started through the control box 2. The stepper motor 7 causes the first stepper motor 6 and the second stepper motor 7 to drive the cleaning cylinder 5 and the cleaning brush roller 14 to rotate in opposite directions respectively. At this time, the hypotube and the cleaning liquid inside the cleaning cylinder 5 will roll on the inner wall of the cleaning cylinder 5. At the same time, the cleaning brush roller 14 will brush the hypotube and stir the cleaning liquid, thereby completing the cleaning of the hypotube under double-layer friction. Then, the blocks 10 on both sides of the second box cover 9 are pushed to discharge the cleaning liquid, and the blocks 10 on both sides of the first box cover 8 are pushed to take out the hypotube, so that the pipe cleaning device for hypotube production can clean the hypotube more quickly and cleanly, thereby improving the overall cleaning efficiency. Example

[0025] See also Figure 1-4 The utility model provides a technical solution: a pipe cleaning device for hypotube production, wherein slide boxes 16 are installed on both sides of the center of the upper end of the bottom plate 1, a third stepping motor 17 is provided on the surface of one side of the slide box 16, a screw 18 is installed on one end of the third stepping motor 17, a first collecting box 19 is installed on one side of the inner wall of the slide box 16, a silica gel plate 20 is installed on one side of the inner wall of the first collecting box 19, a second spring 21 is provided at the four corners of the lower end of the silica gel plate 20, a collecting plate 22 is installed on the surface of the first collecting box 19, a collecting hose 23 is installed at the lower end of the collecting plate 22, and a second collecting box 24 is installed at one end of the bottom plate 1.

[0028] Specifically, after the cleaning cylinder 5 has finished cleaning the hypotube, the second box cover 9 is opened to allow the cleaning liquid inside the cleaning cylinder 5 to be discharged downward through the filter plate 15, and then the cleaning liquid will fall into the collecting plate 22 below and fall into the second collecting box 24 through the collecting hose 23. After the cleaning liquid is discharged, the third stepper motor 17 is started by the control box 2, so that the third stepper motor 17 drives the screw 18 to rotate, so that the screw 18 drives the first collecting box 19 to slide in the sliding box 16. At this time, when the first collecting box 19 slides, it will push the collecting plate 22 to move together. The cleaning cylinder 5 is rotated to the bottom with the first box cover 8, and the first box cover 8 is removed. At this time, the hypotube inside the cleaning cylinder 5 will fall into the silica gel plate 20, and then under the elasticity of the silica gel plate 20 and the second spring 21, the hypotube will not be damaged. After the hypotube is discharged, the third stepper motor 17 is reversed through the control box 2 to return the first collecting box 19 and the collecting plate 22 to their original positions, so that the pipe cleaning device for hypotube production can quickly collect the used cleaning liquid and the cleaned hypotube.
