Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of impregnation fixture technology, specifically relating to a microcatheter tip coating impregnation fixture. Background Technology

[0002] Microcatheter tip coating impregnation is a technique that applies a specific coating material to the surface of a microcatheter tip through an impregnation process. The principle of microcatheter tip coating impregnation fixtures is to utilize the viscosity and surface tension of a polymer solution to allow the solution to adhere to the tip surface after immersion. Subsequent steps such as lifting and drying then form a uniform coating. This coating significantly improves the performance of the microcatheter, such as reducing friction with human tissue, decreasing vascular wall contact resistance, improving ease of operation and patient comfort, while avoiding potential complications such as friction damage and infection. Microcatheter tip coating impregnation technology is widely used in neurovascular and peripheral vascular interventional diagnosis and treatment, such as coronary artery stenting, aneurysm embolization, and interventional chemoembolization for tumors. Microcatheters prepared using this technique can precisely guide and prevent embolic agent reflux, improving surgical success rates and reducing the risk of patients undergoing complex interventional treatments, making it an important tool for minimally invasive interventional therapy.

[0003] In existing microcatheter tip coating impregnation fixtures, the microcatheter tip is usually placed inside the fixture to promote coating adhesion to its surface. However, during the impregnation process, the microcatheter tip is often fixed in a single position. This fixed state limits its sufficient contact with the coating solution. Due to insufficient contact, the coating adhesion on the surface of the microcatheter tip is difficult to achieve a uniform state, which in turn has an adverse effect on the impregnation effect. This non-uniformity not only reduces the stability of the coating quality, but also weakens the practical effectiveness of microcatheter tip coating impregnation fixtures in clinical applications or industrial production to a certain extent. Utility Model Content

[0026] 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. Example

[0027] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a microcatheter tip coating impregnation fixture, comprising:

[0028] Impregnation fixture body 1 and material holding frame 2;

[0029] Mounting plate 3 is set on the upper end of material holding frame 2. Material holding frame 2 is located inside the impregnation fixture body 1. Multiple positioning rods 4 and multiple fixing rods 5 are provided inside material holding frame 2.

[0030] Two rectangular slots are respectively installed through both sides of the material holding frame 2. A matching rectangular plate 6 is installed through the two rectangular slots. Multiple positioning rods 4 extend to the rectangular slots on both sides and are respectively installed on one side of the two rectangular plates 6.

[0031] The drive shaft 7 is located at the upper end of the material holding frame 2. The mounting plate 3 has an installation groove, and the drive shaft 7 passes through the installation groove. The bottom side of the impregnation fixture body 1 is provided with a discharge pipe 8. The bottom of the impregnation fixture body 1 is rotatably connected to a positioning shaft 9. Multiple stirring blades 10 are provided on the outside of the positioning shaft 9.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the upper end of the impregnation fixture body 1 is provided with a mounting frame 11, and the upper end of the mounting frame 11 is provided with an electric push rod 12. The electric push rod 12 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The output end of the electric push rod 12 is located on the upper end of the mounting plate 3. The output end of the electric push rod 12 will drive the mounting plate 3 and the material holding frame 2 to move up and down, so as to conveniently impregnate or remove the microcatheter head.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the material holding frame 2 is provided with limiting plates 13 on both sides. The inner wall of the immersion fixture body 1 is provided with limiting grooves that are adapted to the limiting plates 13 on both sides. The two limiting plates 13 are located in the two limiting grooves respectively and are slidably connected to the side wall of the limiting groove. The two limiting plates 13, together with the two limiting grooves, can limit the vertical movement of the material holding frame 2 and prevent its position from shifting.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, multiple positioning rods 4 and multiple fixing rods 5 are arranged in a "V" shape, and the multiple positioning rods 4 and multiple fixing rods 5 are arranged in opposite directions. Multiple screening holes 14 are provided through multiple positioning rods 4 and multiple fixing rods 5. Guide grooves are opened at the upper ends of multiple positioning rods 4 and multiple fixing rods 5. Guide wheels 15 are rotatably connected in multiple guide grooves. The upper ends of multiple guide wheels 15 are all through the guide grooves and extend to the outside.

[0035] Through its design, multiple vertically movable positioning rods 4 can intermittently move above and below multiple fixed rods 5, allowing the microcatheter tip to frequently change contact surfaces. The multiple positioning rods 4 and fixed rods 5 arranged in a "V" shape and facing opposite directions allow the microcatheter tip to move left and right, thus ensuring sufficient and uniform contact with the coating solution. Multiple guide wheels 15 allow the microcatheter tip to move more smoothly.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, drive plates 16 are provided at both ends of drive shaft 7, and guide shafts 17 are provided on one side of each drive plate 16. Guide openings adapted to guide shafts 17 are provided through the upper ends of the two rectangular plates 6. The two guide shafts 17 pass through the two guide openings respectively and are slidably connected to the side walls of the guide openings. When drive shaft 7 drives the two drive plates 16 to rotate, it can drive the two guide shafts 17 to rotate respectively. In conjunction with the guide openings at the upper ends of the two rectangular plates 6, the two rectangular plates 6 can be moved up and down intermittently, thereby driving multiple positioning rods 4 to move up and down to adjust the position of the microcatheter tip.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, a drive groove is provided in the mounting plate 3 located at the upper end of the mounting groove. A drive motor 18 is provided in the drive groove. The drive motor 18 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The output end of the drive motor 18 extends into the mounting groove and is provided with a first bevel gear 19. A second bevel gear 20 that meshes with the first bevel gear 19 is provided on the outside of the drive shaft 7 located in the mounting groove. When the drive motor 18 is started, its output end will drive the first bevel gear 19 to rotate, thereby driving the second bevel gear 20 and the drive shaft 7 to rotate. Example

[0038] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a microcatheter tip coating impregnation fixture, comprising:

[0039] Impregnation fixture body 1 and material holding frame 2;

[0040] Mounting plate 3 is set on the upper end of material holding frame 2. Material holding frame 2 is located inside the impregnation fixture body 1. Multiple positioning rods 4 and multiple fixing rods 5 are provided inside material holding frame 2.

[0041] Two rectangular slots are respectively installed through both sides of the material holding frame 2. A matching rectangular plate 6 is installed through the two rectangular slots. Multiple positioning rods 4 extend to the rectangular slots on both sides and are respectively installed on one side of the two rectangular plates 6.

[0042] The drive shaft 7 is located at the upper end of the material holding frame 2. The mounting plate 3 has an installation groove, and the drive shaft 7 passes through the installation groove. The bottom side of the impregnation fixture body 1 is provided with a discharge pipe 8. The bottom of the impregnation fixture body 1 is rotatably connected to a positioning shaft 9. Multiple stirring blades 10 are provided on the outside of the positioning shaft 9.

[0043] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, positioning wheels 21 are provided on both sides of the positioning shaft 9, and U-shaped contact frames 22 are provided on both sides of the bottom end of the immersion fixture body 1. The upper ends of the two contact frames 22 abut against the bottom ends of the two rectangular plates 6 respectively. A rack plate 23 adapted to the positioning wheel 21 is provided on one side of the inner wall of the two contact frames 22. The two rack plates 23 are respectively engaged and connected with the two positioning wheels 21.

[0044] Through its design, when the two rectangular plates 6 move up and down, they will push the two abutment frames 22 and the two rack plates 23 to move. The two rack plates 23 will drive the two positioning wheels 21 to rotate, which will drive the positioning shaft 9 and multiple stirring blades 10 to rotate, so that the coating solution in the impregnation fixture body 1 can be distributed more evenly, ensuring the quality of impregnation of the microcatheter tip.

[0045] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, each of the two contact frames 22 has multiple locking slots at its bottom end. Each locking slot has a limiting spring 24. Each limiting spring 24 has a locking rod 25 at its bottom end that matches the locking slot. The locking rods 25 are all located at the bottom end of the immersion fixture body 1. The locking rods 25, in conjunction with the locking slots, can limit the vertical movement of the two contact frames 22 and prevent them from shifting. When the rectangular plate 6 moves upward, the limiting springs 24 can drive the contact frames 22 to move downward, thus realizing the reciprocating vertical movement of the two contact frames 22.

[0046] See Figure 1-5When using a microcatheter tip coating impregnation fixture to impregnate the microcatheter tip, the microcatheter tip must first be placed on multiple positioning rods 4 and multiple fixing rods 5 within the material holding frame 2. Then, the electric push rod 12 is activated, allowing the material holding frame 2 to move into the impregnation fixture body 1. During the impregnation process, the drive motor 18 is activated. The output of the drive motor 18 drives the first bevel gear 19 to rotate, which in turn drives the second bevel gear 20 and the drive shaft 7 to rotate. The drive shaft 7 then drives the drive plates 16 and guide shaft 17 on both sides to rotate. This, combined with the guide openings at the upper ends of the two rectangular plates 6, allows the two rectangular plates 6 to rotate... The two rectangular plates 6 can move up and down repeatedly, and simultaneously drive multiple positioning rods 4 to move up and down, thereby effectively adjusting the position of the microcatheter tip so that it can fully and evenly contact the coating solution. When the two rectangular plates 6 move up and down, they will push the two abutment frames 22 to move, and the two abutment frames 22 will drive the two rack plates 23 to move, which will drive the two positioning wheels 21 to rotate. The two positioning wheels 21 will drive the positioning shaft 9 to rotate, and the positioning shaft 9 will drive multiple stirring blades 10 to rotate, so that the coating solution can be distributed more evenly, ensuring the quality of its impregnation of the microcatheter tip.

[0047] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
