[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0025] Example 1: Refer to Figures 1-4The needle tube guide pipe assembly tool for indwelling needle production is shown, including a base plate 1, a clamping unit capable of clamping the guide pipe and then descending is fixed at the upper end of the base plate 1, a needle tube positioning mechanism is arranged on the base plate 1 below the clamping unit.

A supporting plate 6 is fixed on the side plate 2 below the rotating shaft 4. The lower end of the first stop block 5 is in contact with the upper end of the supporting plate 6. The upper end surface of the first stop block 5, the upper end surface of the rotating plate 3 and the horizontal plane are parallel. The first stop block 5 is connected to the side plate 2 through a tension spring 8.

[0028] A pressing plate 12 is slidably connected to the clamping assembly in the vertical direction between the two side plates 2, the pressing plate 12 is connected to the clamping assembly through a spring 16, the lower end of the pressing plate 12 is in contact with the upper end of the rotating plate 3, and the elastic force of the spring 16 is greater than that of the tension spring 8. The pressing plate 12 limits the rotation of the rotating plate 3.

[0029] The clamping unit includes guide rails 9 fixed on the base plate 1, the guide rails 9 are vertically arranged, a lifting plate 11 is slidably arranged in the vertical direction of the guide rails 9, first air cylinders 10 vertically arranged are fixed on the guide rails 9, and the extension end of the first air cylinders 10 is fixedly connected to the lifting plate 11.

[0030] Specifically, the pressing plate 12 penetrates the lifting plate 11, and the pressing plate 12 is slidably connected to the lifting plate 11. An upper stop block 17 is fixed on the pressing plate 12 above the lifting plate 11, a lower stop block 18 is fixed on the pressing plate 12 below the lifting plate 11, and the spring 16 connects the lower stop block 18 and the lifting plate 11.

[0031] Two clamping plates 13 are slidably arranged at the upper end of the lifting plate 11, and the sliding direction of the clamping plates 13 is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the lifting plate 11. The two clamping plates 13 are symmetrically arranged according to the axis of the plug seat 15. Specifically, a sliding groove 19 is formed at the upper end of the lifting plate 11, a sliding block 20 is fixed at the lower end of the clamping plate 13, and the sliding block 20 is slidably arranged in the sliding groove 19.

[0032] The clamping plate 13 is connected to the lifting plate 11 through the second air cylinder 14.

[0033] Arc-shaped grooves 21 are formed in the vertical direction of the opposite end faces of the two clamping plates 13, and the two arc-shaped grooves 21 are symmetrically arranged according to the axis of the plug seat 15.

[0034] The first cylinder 10 is communicated with a first electromagnetic valve, the first electromagnetic valve is communicated with a gas source, the second cylinder 14 is communicated with a second electromagnetic valve, the second electromagnetic valve is communicated with the gas source, and the first electromagnetic valve, the second electromagnetic valve, the controller and the control panel are electrically connected.

[0035] In operation, the first cylinder 10 is started through the control panel, the first cylinder 10 drives the lifting plate 11 and the clamping plate 13 to move upwards, when the upper stopper 17 contacts with the lifting plate 11, the lifting plate 11 drives the pressing plate 12 to move upwards, in the process of moving upwards of the pressing plate 12, under the elastic force of the tension spring 8, the rotating plate 3 rotates to the front side, and the rotating shaft 4, the first stopper 5 and the second stopper 7 rotate with the rotating plate 3. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, when the second stopper 7 contacts with the supporting plate 6, the rotating plate 3 is in an inclined state.

[0036] Then the catheter is placed between the two clamping plates 13 and corresponds to the arc-shaped groove 21. At the same time, the two second cylinders 14 are started, the two clamping plates 13 move close to each other and clamp the catheter.

[0037] Then the first cylinder 10 is started, the first cylinder 10 drives the lifting plate 11, the clamping plate 13, the catheter and the pressing plate 12 to move downwards. When the lower end of the pressing plate 12 contacts with the upwardly inclined side of the lifting plate 11, in the process of moving downwards of the pressing plate 12, the rotating plate 3 rotates to the back side, because the elastic force of the spring 16 is greater than the elastic force of the tension spring 8, when the lower end of the first stopper 5 contacts with the upper end of the supporting plate 6, the upper end surface of the rotating plate 3, the upper end surface of the first stopper 5 and the horizontal plane are parallel, the needle tube and the catheter are concentric. In the subsequent process of moving downwards of the lifting plate 11, the pressing plate 12 is blocked by the rotating plate 3 and keeps still, and the spring 16 is compressed. When the needle tube is inserted into the catheter, the two second cylinders 14 are started, so that the two clamping plates 13 move away from each other and release the catheter.

[0038] Then the lifting plate 11 moves upwards, when the lower end of the pressing plate 12 separates from the rotating plate 3, under the elastic force of the tension spring 8, the rotating plate 3 rotates to the front side, and the rotating shaft 4, the first stopper 5 and the second stopper 7 rotate with the rotating plate 3. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, when the second stopper 7 contacts with the supporting plate 6, the rotating plate 3 is in an inclined state.

[0039] Example two: based on example one, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The upper end surface of the first stopper 5 is fixed with a horizontal detector 22, and the horizontal detector 22 is electrically connected with the controller.

[0040] Due to the repeated impact of the lower end of the first block 5 on the supporting plate 6, the lower end of the first block 5 and the position of the supporting plate 6 in contact with the lower end of the first block 5 will be worn, which will cause the upper end surface of the rotating plate 3 and the upper end surface of the first block 5 to be non-parallel to the horizontal plane after the first block 5 limits the rotating plate 3, and further cause the needle tube in the plug seat 15 and the guide tube in the arc-shaped groove 21 to be non-concentric, which will easily cause the needle tube and the guide tube to be misaligned when they are inserted.

[0041] In the embodiment, the horizontal detector 22 is started to detect the upper end surface of the first block 5 at a set time after the first cylinder 10 is started to make the lifting plate 11 descend, and if the upper end surface of the first block 5 is horizontal, the upper end surface of the rotating plate 3 is horizontal, the needle tube and the guide tube are concentric, and the first cylinder 10 continues to drive the lifting plate 11 to descend. Otherwise, the controller controls the first electromagnetic valve to close the first cylinder 10 to avoid the misalignment of the guide tube and the needle tube when they are inserted.

[0042] The horizontal detector 22 needs to be started in the time period from the contact of the first block 5 with the supporting plate 6 to the insertion of the needle tube into the guide tube.

[0043] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not used to limit the present application, and any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement within the spirit and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
