Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of guide sheath technology, specifically to a UV curing cabinet. Background Technology
[0002] Ureteral guide sheaths are commonly used instruments in urological surgery, mainly used in ureteroscopic (such as flexible or rigid) procedures to establish a stable channel for easy access of instruments to and from the ureter and renal pelvis.
[0003] In the production process of ureteral guiding sheaths, UV curing cabinets are generally used to cure the ureteral guiding sheaths. However, current UV curing cabinets have a simple structure and use high-pressure mercury lamps as the curing light source. High-pressure mercury lamps are inefficient and slow to cure, and the high temperature inside the curing chamber has a significant impact on the sheath tube. The current UV curing method seriously restricts the improvement of production efficiency and product quality. Summary of the Invention

[0006] As a preferred technical solution, sprockets are meshed at the four corners of the inner side of the chain. After removing one sprocket, a shaft is installed in the center hole of the remaining sprockets. Bearings are embedded in the top surface of the cabinet cavity, directly opposite the shaft.

[0019] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0020] All features disclosed in this specification, or all steps in all disclosed methods or processes, may be combined in any way, except for mutually exclusive features and / or steps.
[0021] Any feature disclosed in this specification (including any appended claims, abstract, and drawings) may be replaced by other equivalent or similar features, unless specifically stated otherwise. That is, unless specifically stated otherwise, each feature is merely one example of a series of equivalent or similar features.
[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a UV curing cabinet of this utility model includes a cabinet body 1. The top of the cabinet body 1 is provided with an installation port 14. An installation plate 2 is provided in the installation port 14. Two rows of UV curing lamps 3 are installed on the installation plate 2. The two rows of UV curing lamps 3 are staggered and form a curing channel between the two rows of UV curing lamps 3. A chain 4 is provided in the curing channel. One side of the chain 4 extends to the outside of a row of UV fixed lamps. A Luer connector 5 for suspending guide sheaths is installed on the chain 4.
[0023] In this embodiment, sprockets 11 are meshed at the four corners of the inner side of the chain 4. After removing one sprocket 11, a shaft 10 is installed in the center hole of the remaining sprockets 11. Bearings are embedded in the top surface of the inner cavity of the cabinet 1 at the position opposite to the shaft 10. The other end of the shaft 10 is installed in the inner ring of the bearing. A motor 12 is installed on the top surface of the cabinet 1 at the position of the sprocket 11 where no shaft 10 is installed. The shaft of the motor 12 is fixedly connected to the corresponding sprocket 11.
[0024] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 2 is provided with a connecting groove facing the UV curing lamp 3. A connecting block 13 is installed on one end of the UV curing lamp 3. The connecting block 13 is slidably disposed in the connecting groove. One end of the connecting block 13 is in contact with the inner wall of the mounting port 14. The cross-sections of the connecting block 13 and the connecting groove are both trapezoidal.
[0025] In this embodiment, fixing plates 6 are installed at both ends of the mounting plate 2, and fixing seats 8 are installed on both sides of the cabinet 1. Cylinders 7 are installed on the fixing seats 8, and the piston rods of the cylinders 7 are fixedly connected to the fixing plates 6.
[0026] When the UV curing lamp is damaged or needs to be repaired, the cylinders on both sides can be activated simultaneously, causing the piston rods of the cylinders to extend and lift the fixing plate and mounting plate upwards. The mounting plate can then be removed from the UV curing lamp from the cabinet. After the connecting block moves out of the mounting port on the outside, the UV fixing lamp can move outwards, driving the connecting block to detach from the connecting groove, thus facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the UV curing lamp.
[0027] In this embodiment, a cabinet door 9 is installed on the opening of the cabinet 1 to open or close the cabinet 1.
[0028] In this embodiment, a gap is formed between the chain 4 and the UV curing lamp to prevent the guide sheath from contacting the UV curing lamp.
[0029] In this embodiment, the UV curing lamp is a UV-LED lamp. UV-LED lamps are more efficient: traditional mercury lamps require a 5-10 minute preheating period after startup and cannot be repeatedly turned on within a short time, while UV-LEDs require no preheating and are ready to use immediately. Considering spectral output, energy efficiency, maintenance costs, lifespan, and environmental factors, UV-LED lamps are the superior choice in most cases, especially in precision manufacturing and demanding environments. UV-LED lamps can provide more precise wavelength control, reduce unnecessary photothermal effects, and improve curing efficiency and quality.
[0030] Instructions for use: After the motor and chain start running, turn on the UV fixing lamps and open the cabinet door. Install the guide sheath on the Luer connector. The rotation of the chain will drive the Luer connector and guide sheath, allowing the guide sheath to rotate into the curing channel. The two rows of UV curing lamps will provide full and comprehensive curing. Control the motor speed according to the site environment and the curing time according to the motor speed. After determining the curing time, mass production can begin.
[0031] LED-UV curing lamps: Nine 200W curing lamps with a wavelength of 365nm are used to ensure sufficient curing time for the guide sheath. Light-emitting panels are installed on both sides of the two rows of UV curing lamps on the inner side of the cabinet. The reflectors cover the sides and enhance the illumination.
[0032] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions conceived without inventive effort should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
