[0034] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, they should be considered part of the specification.

[0035] like Figures 1-8 The medical catheter forming device shown includes a frame 1, a top plate 2 is provided on the upper part of the frame 1, a worktable 3 is provided inside the frame 1, a plurality of universal bearings 301 are provided on the top of the worktable 3, a moving channel 302 is provided on the worktable, a pushing mechanism 4 is provided below the worktable 3, and a heating unit 5 and a cooling unit 6 are provided above the worktable 3.

[0036] The heating unit 5 includes a first driving cylinder 501 and a heating mechanism 502. The first driving cylinder 501 is disposed on the top plate 2, and the output end of the first driving cylinder 501 passes through the top plate 2 and is connected to the heating mechanism 502.

[0037] The cooling unit 6 includes a second drive cylinder 601 and a cooling mechanism 602. The second drive cylinder 601 is mounted on the top plate 2. The output end of the second drive cylinder 601 passes through the top plate 2 and is connected to the cooling mechanism 602. With the cooperation of the pushing mechanism 4 and the universal bearing 301, the mold after thermoforming in the heating unit 5 is pushed to the cooling unit 6 for cooling. The whole process is fully automated, with high processing efficiency and low labor cost.

[0038] Specifically, the heating mechanism 502 includes a first support plate 5021 and a heating plate 5022. The top of the first support plate 5021 is provided with a first connecting plate 5023, which is connected to the output end of the first driving cylinder 501. The heating plate 5022 is located below the first support plate 5021 and is connected to the first support plate 5021 by screws 7. When the forming mold is placed below the heating mechanism 502, the first driving cylinder 5021 drives the heating plate 5022 to perform heating and forming processing.

[0039] Furthermore, the heating plate 5022 is covered with insulation cotton 5024, the top of which is connected to the first support plate 5021. The insulation cotton 5024 is covered with an insulation cover 5025. By setting the insulation cotton 5024 and the insulation cover 5025, the heating plate 5022 can be effectively kept warm, the heating speed can be improved, and the heating block can quickly reach the temperature required for heating and forming, thereby improving the processing efficiency.

[0040] Specifically, the cooling mechanism 602 includes a second support plate 6021, an upper cooling plate 6023, and a lower cooling plate 6024.

The upper cooling plate 6023 is disposed below the second support plate 6021 and is connected to the second support plate 6021 by screws 7. The lower cooling plate 6024 is disposed on the worktable 3 and is located directly below the upper cooling plate 6023.

[0041] Furthermore, a third drive cylinder 6025 is also installed at the bottom of the lower cooling plate 6024. Since the lower cooling plate 6024 is located inside the worktable 3, when the forming mold moves into the cooling mechanism 6, the lower cooling plate 6024 may not be able to stick tightly to the forming mold. The third drive cylinder 6025 can make the lower cooling plate 6024 stick tightly to the forming mold, accelerate the cooling rate, and improve the processing efficiency.

[0042] Specifically, the pushing mechanism 4 includes a drive motor 401, a lead screw 402, and a slider 403. The drive motor 401 is located at one end of the lead screw 402, and its output end is connected to the lead screw 402. The slider 403 is sleeved on the lead screw 402. A guide rail 404 is provided at the bottom end of the lead screw 402, and a fixing plate 405 is connected to the top end of the slider 403. Connecting rods 406 are provided at both ends of the top of the fixing plate 405. The connecting rods 406 pass through the moving channel 302 and are connected to a push plate 407. The push plate 407 is located above the worktable 3. The slider 403 drives the push plate 407 to push the molding die from the heating unit 5 to the cooling unit 6 for cooling. The entire process is automated, reducing labor costs and increasing processing efficiency.

[0043] Furthermore, guide rods 408 are provided on both sides of the lead screw 402, and sliding blocks 409 are sleeved on the guide rods 408. The top ends of the two sliding blocks 409 are connected to the fixing plate 405.

[0044] Specifically, one end of the workbench 3 is provided with a guide wheel 303. By providing the guide wheel 303, a guiding function is provided, which can cause the molding die to move from the heating unit 5 to the cooling unit 6 in a predetermined direction.

[0045] Specifically, the screw 7 is fitted with a high-temperature spring 8. By setting the high-temperature spring 8, the impact force of the heating plate 5022 and the upper cooling plate 6023 on the molding die can be reduced, thereby reducing damage to the molding die.

[0046] Specifically, the frame 1 is provided with a baffle 9 on the outside, a display panel 10 is installed on the top of the baffle 9, the display panel 10 is provided with a display screen 11 and a button switch 12, and casters 13 are provided around the bottom of the frame 1.

[0047] Working principle: The forming mold is placed in the heating unit 5. The first driving cylinder 501 drives the heating mechanism 502 to closely adhere to the forming mold. The preset heating time is set, and the heating mechanism 502 heats and shapes the mold. After the heating process, the pushing mechanism 4 pushes the forming mold to the cooling unit 6. The guide wheel 303 on the worktable 3 acts as a guide. The second driving cylinder 602 and the third driving cylinder 6025 drive the upper cooling plate 6023 and the lower cooling plate 6024 to closely adhere to the forming mold and cool it. After cooling, the forming mold is removed to complete the conduit forming process. The entire process is fully automated and does not require manual transfer after heating. It has high processing efficiency and low labor costs.
