[0027] Example

[0028] Reference Figures 1-4 This embodiment of the present invention provides a production apparatus for steel wire silicone tubing, comprising:

[0029] The conveying mechanism 100 includes a pipe body 110, a ring sleeve 120 fixedly sleeved on the outside of the pipe body 110, a guide assembly 130 disposed on the outside of the ring sleeve 120, a pressurizing ring pipe 140 fixedly installed on the outside of the pipe body 110, and a flushing assembly 150 disposed on the outside of the pressurizing ring pipe 140.

[0030] The adaptive support mechanism 200 includes a fixed seat 210 fixedly installed at the other end of the tube body 110, a fixed block 220 fixedly installed on the outside of the fixed seat 210, a rotating shaft 230 hinged to the outside of the fixed block 220, and a support rod 240 fixedly installed on the outside of the rotating shaft 230.

[0031] The conveying mechanism 100, through the cooperation of the tube body 110 and the ring 120, achieves stable support and guidance for the inner cavity of the silicone tube. The ring 120 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the tube body 110 to ensure that the device will not shift or shake when moving inside the silicone tube, while reducing frictional damage to the tube wall. The design of the pressurizing ring tube 140 enhances the structural strength of the tube body 110, making it less prone to deformation under high-pressure rinsing conditions. The rinsing component 150, through the inclined annular arrangement of the nozzles 153, can perform all-round, no-dead-angle rinsing of the inner wall of the silicone tube, effectively removing residual release agent and particulate matter.

[0032] Specifically, the flushing assembly 150 includes a nozzle 151 fixedly installed on the outside of the pressurizing ring pipe 140, a threaded pipe 152 threadedly installed on the end of the nozzle 151, and a nozzle 153 fixedly installed on the outside of the threaded pipe 152. The nozzle 153 is fixedly installed in a ring shape on the outside of the threaded pipe 152 and at an inclined angle.

[0033] The rinsing assembly 150 is detachably connected to the nozzle 151 and the threaded tube 152, which facilitates the replacement and maintenance of the nozzle 153 and adapts to different cleaning needs. The annular inclined arrangement of the nozzle 153 forms a rotating jet stream that can cover every corner of the inner wall of the silicone tube, significantly improving the rinsing effect. The fixing method of the threaded tube 152 ensures the stability of the nozzle 153 under high-pressure rinsing, avoiding displacement or detachment due to water flow impact. It takes into account both rinsing efficiency and ease of operation, and is especially suitable for the production of medical or food-grade silicone tubes with high cleanliness requirements.

[0034] Furthermore, the adaptive support mechanism 200 also includes a roller 250 hinged to the end of the support rod 240, a positioning ring 260 fixedly installed on the outside of the support rod 240, an elastic net 270 fixedly installed on the other side of the support rod 240, and a groove 280 opened on the outside of the elastic net 270. The inner cavity of the groove 280 is provided with a tension net, and the support rods 240 are evenly arranged in a ring array on the outside of the fixed seat 210.

[0035] The adaptive support mechanism 200 provides a stable installation foundation for the device through the rigid connection between the fixed seat 210 and the fixed block 220. The hinged design of the rotating shaft 230 and the support rod 240 allows the support rod 240 to automatically adjust its angle according to the shape of the inner wall of the silicone tube, ensuring that the device is centered in the tube cavity. The introduction of the roller 250 further reduces the contact friction between the support rod 240 and the tube wall, making the device move more smoothly. The combination of the positioning ring 260 and the elastic net 270 not only enhances the structural stability of the support rod 240, but also adapts to changes in different tube diameters through the stretching net in the groove 280, avoiding scratches on the inner wall of the silicone tube.

[0036] Preferably, the guide assembly 130 includes a tube seat 131 fixedly installed on the outside of the ring sleeve 120, a telescopic block 132 fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the tube seat 131, and a telescopic spring 133 fixedly installed on the outside of the telescopic block 132. The guide assembly 130 also includes a support column 134 fixedly installed on the end of the telescopic spring 133, a movable limiting rod 135 movably sleeved on the outside of the tube seat 131, and a guide wheel 136 hinged to the outside of the support column 134.

[0037] The guide assembly 130 achieves precise control of the device's movement direction through the sliding engagement of the tube seat 131 and the telescopic block 132. The elastic characteristics of the telescopic spring 133 ensure that the guide wheel 136 always fits against the inner wall of the silicone tube, maintaining a stable guiding effect even when the tube diameter changes or the section is curved. The coordinated work of the support column 134 and the movable limit rod 135 limits the displacement range of the guide wheel 136, preventing it from being over-compressed or detached from the tube wall, thereby avoiding deflection of the device during movement. The hinged design of the guide wheel 136 further reduces the frictional resistance with the tube wall, ensuring that the device can complete the rinsing operation smoothly and efficiently.

[0038] Furthermore, the conveying mechanism 100 also includes a fastening head 160 fixedly installed at the end of the tube body 110, and a flexible tube 170 fixedly installed on the outside of the fastening head 160.

[0039] The combination of the fastening head 160 and the hose 170 facilitates the connection of the device with the external cleaning system, improving the overall ease of operation.

[0040] In use, the external cleaning system is first connected via the fastening pipe head 160 and hose 170. The conveying mechanism 100 is then inserted into the inner cavity of the silicone tube. During movement, the guide wheel 136 of the guide assembly 130 remains in contact with the tube wall under the action of the telescopic spring 133, ensuring the device moves along the center of the tube cavity. The support rod 240 of the adaptive support mechanism 200 automatically adjusts its angle via the rotating shaft 230, and the roller 250 reduces friction, allowing the device to smoothly pass through curved or variable diameter sections. Once the device reaches the target position, the flushing assembly 150 is activated. High-pressure water flows through the inclined annular arrangement of the nozzles 153 to form a rotating jet stream, thoroughly flushing the tube wall to remove release agent and residues. The pressurizing ring pipe 140 maintains the stability of the tube body 110, preventing deformation caused by high-pressure flushing. After flushing, the device can move in the opposite direction or continue forward to clean the next section of the tube cavity. The entire process is efficient and causes no damage to the tube wall.

[0041] In summary, through the coordinated operation of the conveying mechanism 100 and the adaptive support mechanism 200, efficient cleaning and maintenance of the silicone tube's inner cavity are achieved. The tube body 110 and the ring sleeve 120 of the conveying mechanism 100 provide a stable support foundation, ensuring that the device remains stable and does not deviate when moving within the tube cavity. The pressurizing ring pipe 140 enhances the structural strength, enabling the device to withstand high-pressure rinsing environments. The inclined annular nozzle 153 design of the rinsing assembly 150 achieves thorough rinsing of the tube wall, effectively removing release agent and particle residues. The adaptive support mechanism 200, through the hinged design of the rotating shaft 230 and the support rod 240, allows the device to automatically adapt to different tube diameters and curved sections. The roller 250 and the elastic net 270 further reduce friction and improve adaptability. The guide assembly 130, through the cooperation of the telescopic spring 133 and the guide wheel 136, ensures the precise movement of the device within complex tube cavities, avoiding deflection or jamming.
