Description

A cutting device for lacrimal canaliculus inserter Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of lacrimal canaliculus insert cutting technology, and more particularly to a cutting device for lacrimal canaliculus inserts. Background Technology

[0002] Ophthalmic canaliculus inserters are drug delivery systems that are non-invasively inserted into the lacrimal canaliculi by mixing a drug with a matrix to form a formulation, thereby allowing for the slow and continuous release of the active ingredient. Canaliculus inserters are small cylindrical drug formulations or medical devices prepared by injection molding and drying (or stretching and drying) after mixing the drug with a hydrogel matrix.

[0003] Human lacrimal canaliculi are very small, and to match their size, the inserted canaliculus insert also needs to be very small. Therefore, the cutting precision required during the processing of canaliculus inserts is quite high. Currently, the cutting of canaliculus inserts is mostly done manually. The disadvantage of manual cutting is that the hydrogel material of the canaliculus insert is usually quite soft and easily deformed. This results in an uneven surface of the manually cut insert, and the shape cannot be maintained, which is not conducive to subsequent insertion into the canaliculus. Furthermore, the precision is poor. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned technical problems in the prior art, this application provides a cutting device for lacrimal canaliculus inserts, which can achieve high-precision cutting of the inserts, and has the advantages of simple operation and smooth cut surface of the inserts.

[0029] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0030] This application provides a cutting device for a lacrimal canaliculus insertion agent. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the cutting device for the lacrimal canaliculus insertion agent includes a base 1 and a cutting element 2 disposed on the base 1, as well as a jig assembly 3 and an actuation assembly 4. The jig assembly 3 is disposed on the base 1 and includes a support plate 31 and a cover plate 32 fastened to the support plate 31. The surface of the support plate 31 facing the cover plate 32 is used to support the lacrimal canaliculus insertion agent, and the cover plate 32 has a cutting slit 33 corresponding to the lacrimal canaliculus insertion agent. The actuation assembly 4 is disposed on the base 1 and is used to drive the jig assembly 3 to move in a first direction and to drive the cutting element 2 to move upward in a second direction and a third direction, so that the jig assembly 3 can move to a target position corresponding to the cutting element 2, and the cutting element 2 can move into the cutting slit 33 to cut the lacrimal canaliculus insertion agent; wherein the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0031] Optionally, a placement platform can be formed on the base 1, and the fixture assembly 3 can be placed on the placement platform to stably support the lacrimal canaliculus insert.

[0032] Optionally, the lacrimal canaliculus insert can be constructed in the form of a long strip, and its cross-sectional shape can be cylindrical, quadrilateral, elliptical, etc., which are not specifically limited in this application.

[0033] Optionally, the cutting part 2 can be cut perpendicular to the lacrimal canaliculus insert, which can ensure the flatness and integrity of the cut surface of the insert, further improving the quality of the finished insert.

[0034] Optionally, the cover plate 32 may have multiple parallel cutting slits 33, the width of which is greater than or equal to the thickness of the cutting tool of the cutting piece 2. The spacing between adjacent cutting slits 33 is equal to the length of the lacrimal canaliculus insert formed after cutting. The spacing between adjacent cutting slits 33 may range from 2 mm to 5 mm.

[0035] Optionally, there may be one or more fixture components 3, and the number of fixture components 3 used may be increased or decreased according to actual production conditions. When there are multiple fixture components 3, they serve as transfer and connection points. When the lacrimal canaliculus insert on one fixture component 3 is cut, other fixture components 3 are already loaded with lacrimal canaliculus inserts and are waiting to be transported to the underside of the cutting component 2 by the actuated component 4, so as to improve cutting efficiency.

[0036] Optionally, the lower surface of the cover plate 32 can be attached to the upper surface of the support plate 31, and the lacrimal canaliculus insert can be placed entirely inside the support plate 31, so that the support plate 31 and the cover plate 32 will not exert pressure on the lacrimal canaliculus insert, thus avoiding damage to the lacrimal canaliculus insert.

[0037] Optionally, the base 1 may be provided with a control button 6, which is used to start or stop the cutting device.

[0038] Optionally, the base 1 may also be equipped with an indicator light 7 and / or an emergency stop button 8. The indicator light 7 is used to indicate the working status of the cutting device; it displays "green" when working normally and "red" when working abnormally. The emergency stop button 8 is used to stop the device in an emergency, specifically in case of jamming or other emergencies during the operation of the cutting device.

[0039] Optionally, the lacrimal canaliculus inserter can be cut multiple times, and the resulting multiple finished inserts may have the same or different preset lengths. This application obtains multiple finished inserts of preset lengths by placing the lacrimal canaliculus inserter on base 1 and cutting it along its length. The cutting device described above provides high cutting precision, ensuring the finished inserts meet the preset length, and also offers advantages such as ease of operation, automated production, and reduced labor costs.

[0040] The aforementioned cutting component 2, fixture assembly 3, and actuation assembly 4 can be detachably mounted on the base 1 to facilitate disassembly, assembly, and cleaning of each component.

[0041] This application can effectively limit the position of the lacrimal canaliculus insert through the support plate 31 and cover plate 32 of the fixture assembly 3, which can improve the accuracy of cutting the lacrimal canaliculus insert, and also improve the flatness and integrity of the cut surface of the cut lacrimal canaliculus insert. Furthermore, the actuation assembly 4 can drive the cutting part 2 and the fixture assembly 3 to move relative to each other, so that the cutting part 2 can effectively cut the lacrimal canaliculus insert loaded on the fixture assembly 3. It has the advantages of simple operation, automated production, and saving labor costs.

[0042] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2, the support plate 31 is provided with at least one material groove 34, the material groove 34 is used to accommodate the lacrimal canaliculus insertion agent, and the material groove 34 is provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the lacrimal canaliculus insertion agent.

[0043] In this way, the lacrimal canaliculus insert can be embedded into the corresponding material groove 34, so as to ensure that the lacrimal canaliculus insert can be firmly fixed on the base 1 during the cutting process, avoiding the deformation or damage of the lacrimal canaliculus insert due to external force, and effectively ensuring the integrity and quality of the finished insert after cutting.

[0044] Optionally, there can be multiple material tanks 34, arranged in parallel. When there are multiple material tanks 34, multiple lacrimal canaliculus inserts can be cut into finished inserts simultaneously. The cutting of multiple lacrimal canaliculus inserts can be completed in one cut, which greatly simplifies the cutting operation and improves the cutting efficiency.

[0045] In some embodiments, the material trough 34 of the support plate 31 and the cover plate 32 cooperate to keep the lacrimal canaliculus insert in a taut state.

[0046] In this way, the material trough 34 of the bearing plate 31 and the cover plate 32 can keep the lacrimal canaliculus insert in a taut state, so that the bending of the lacrimal canaliculus insert during the cutting process will not cause the error of each segment of the finished lacrimal canaliculus insert to increase, effectively improving the cutting accuracy. Furthermore, by limiting the lacrimal canaliculus insert, the cut surface can be made complete and flat.

[0047] After the lacrimal canaliculus insert is placed in the material tank 34, a gap can be formed between it and the cover plate 32 located above the lacrimal canaliculus insert. The smaller the gap, the better the lacrimal canaliculus insert can be positioned. The cooperation between the material tank 34 of the support plate 31 and the cover plate 32 can prevent the lacrimal canaliculus insert from bending, so that the lacrimal canaliculus insert can be kept in a taut state.

[0048] Understandably, keeping the lacrimal canaliculus insert in a taut state can prevent deformation caused by the natural curling of the insert. The taut lacrimal canaliculus insert is relatively flat, and the entire insert can remain straight along its first length direction.

[0049] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2, the support plate 31 is provided with a cutting positioning groove 35 corresponding to the cutting gap 33, and the cutting member 2 is used to move and extend into the cutting gap 33 and the cutting positioning groove 35 to cut the lacrimal canaliculus insert.

[0050] In this way, the cutting movement of the cutting piece 2 can be effectively guided by the cutting positioning groove 35 and the cutting gap 33, so that the cutting piece 2 can be inserted into the cutting gap 33 and the cutting positioning groove 35. After the cutting piece 2 is effectively positioned, the cutting is completed by the cutting piece 2, which effectively ensures the stability and reliability of the cutting process.

[0051] Optionally, the length direction of the material trough 34 is perpendicular to the length direction of the cutting positioning groove 35.

[0052] Optionally, the depth of the cutting positioning groove 35 is greater than or equal to the depth of the material groove 34, so as to ensure that when cutting the lacrimal canaliculus insert placed in the material groove 34, the cutting path length of the cutting piece 2 is greater than the diameter of the lacrimal canaliculus insert, thereby completely cutting and separating the lacrimal canaliculus insert.

[0053] Optionally, the length direction of the cutting positioning groove 35 is the same as the length direction of the cutting slit 33; and / or, the width of the cutting positioning groove 35 is the same as the width of the cutting slit 33, so as to ensure that after the cutting part 2 passes through the cutting slit 33, the cutting part 2 can fall into the cutting positioning groove 35 partially and completely, effectively ensuring the stability and reliability of the cutting process.

[0054] The cutting positioning groove 35 and the cutting gap 33 are set in a one-to-one correspondence, that is, the cutting positioning groove 35 and the cutting gap 33 are aligned, and the cutting piece 2 can directly extend into the cutting positioning groove 35 after passing through the cutting gap 33.

[0055] In some embodiments, the support plate 31 and the cover plate 32 are connected by magnetic attraction; and / or the support plate 31 and the cover plate 32 are connected by snap-fit. This ensures that the support plate 31 and the cover plate 32 are in a stable relative position, allowing the cutting positioning groove 35 and the cutting slit 33 to maintain a one-to-one correspondence.

[0056] Optionally, a first magnetic element may be provided on the support plate 31, and a second magnetic element may be provided on the cover plate 32. The first magnetic element and the second magnetic element can interact with each other so that the upper surface of the support plate 31 and the lower surface of the cover plate 32 are in contact, and the cutting positioning groove 35 and the cutting gap 33 are kept in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0057] Optionally, the cover plate 32 may be made of magnetic material and the support plate 31 may be made of metal material so that the cover plate 32 and the support plate 31 can be magnetically connected.

[0058] Optionally, the bearing plate 31 may be provided with a first snap-fit ​​member, and the cover plate 32 may be provided with a second snap-fit ​​member. The first snap-fit ​​member and the second snap-fit ​​member may be constructed as components that can snap-fit ​​each other. Through the snap-fit ​​of the first snap-fit ​​member and the second snap-fit ​​member, the bearing plate 31 and the cover plate 32 are kept in a stable relative position.

[0059] In some embodiments, the cutting element 2 includes one or more blades, and the width of the cutting slit 33 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the blades. This allows the blades to pass smoothly and easily through the cutting slit 33 and cut the lacrimal canaliculus insert, effectively improving the reliability of the cutting device.

[0060] Furthermore, when there are multiple cutting tools, multiple finished lacrimal ducts can be efficiently cut using multiple tools, effectively improving cutting efficiency.

[0061] Optionally, the cutting component 2 may include a tool holder, and one or more tools may be detachably mounted on the tool holder.

[0062] Optionally, the spacing between adjacent cutters is equal to the length of the finished lacrimal canaliculus insert, and the spacing between adjacent cutters can range from 2 mm to 5 mm.

[0063] In some embodiments, the lacrimal canaliculus insert is embedded within the material groove 34. This allows the material groove 34 to effectively limit the lacrimal canaliculus insert, thereby improving the cutting accuracy of the insert.

[0064] Optionally, the width and depth of the material groove 34 are both greater than or equal to the diameter of the lacrimal canaliculus insert. The width of the material groove 34 can range from 0.35 mm to 0.55 mm, and the depth can range from 0.35 mm to 0.55 mm.

[0065] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG1, the cutting device further includes a control board and an operation panel 5. The control board is electrically connected to the operation panel 5 and the actuation component 4, respectively. The control board is used to receive touch commands generated by the operation panel 5 based on touch operation, and to control the actuation component 4 to move along at least one of the first direction, the second direction and the third direction based on the touch commands.

[0066] In this way, users can easily control the cutting device through the control panel and control panel 5, and realize the automated cutting operation of the cutting device.

[0067] Optionally, the control panel 5 may display a first control area for controlling the actuator 4, and a second control area for controlling the number of cuts of the cutter 2.

[0068] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG1, FIG3 and FIG4, the actuation component 4 includes a first motion component, a second motion component and a third motion component. The first motion component includes a first slider 41 and a first conveyor belt 42. The fixture component 3 is slidably disposed on the first slider 41. The first conveyor belt 42 is used to drive the first slider 41 and the fixture component 3 to move in a first direction.

[0069] The second motion component includes a second conveyor belt 43 and a second slider 44 slidably disposed on the base 1. The third motion component includes a third slider 45 and a third conveyor belt 46. The third slider 45 is slidably disposed on the second slider 44. The cutting member 2 is disposed on the third slider 45. The second conveyor belt 43 is used to drive the second slider 44, the third slider 45 and the cutting member 2 to move in a second direction. The third conveyor belt 46 is used to drive the third slider 45 and the cutting member 2 to move in a third direction.

[0070] Thus, the first motion component, the second motion component, and the third motion component can drive the fixture component 3 to move in the first direction, and drive the cutting component 2 to move in the second and third directions. The above transmission structure is stable, simple, and reasonably designed.

[0071] Optionally, the first motion component, the second motion component, and the third motion component may be driven by different driving components. This application does not make specific limitations on this, as long as the first motion component, the second motion component, and the third motion component can achieve stable movement.

[0072] Optionally, the first transmission belt 42 may include one or more parallel drive belts, the speed and direction of which are adjusted via the control panel 5. Preferably, the speed of the first transmission belt 42 is below 200 mm / s, more preferably, the speed range of the first transmission belt 42 is 80 mm / s to 120 mm / s, to ensure stable movement of the first transmission belt 42, thereby stably driving the jig assembly 3. It should be noted that a speed exceeding 200 mm / s will cause the device to vibrate and become unstable. Similarly, the second transmission belt 43 and the third transmission belt 46 may have the same structure and speed range as the first transmission belt 42, or they may be different; this application does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0073] Optionally, the first direction can be understood as the translational movement of the fixture assembly 3 on the base 1, specifically the movement towards or away from the cutting element 2. The second movement can be understood as the second sliding member 44 being able to drive the cutting element 2 to move left and right relative to the base 1, and the third movement can be understood as the third sliding member 45 being able to drive the cutting element 2 to move up and down relative to the base 1.

[0074] In some embodiments, the cutting device further includes a transparent cover (not shown) disposed on the base 1, the transparent cover covering the cutting member 2, the fixture assembly 3 at the target position and part of the actuation assembly 4, and the transparent cover having a through groove for moving the fixture assembly 3 along the first direction.

[0075] In this way, dust can be prevented from accumulating on the cutting part 2 and some of the actuating components 4 by the transparent cover, while preventing the lacrimal canaliculus insert from splashing during the cutting process. The working process of the cutting device can also be observed through the transparent cover, so that any malfunction of the cutting device can be detected in time.

[0076] Optionally, when there are multiple fixture assemblies 3, the lacrimal canaliculus inserter on the fixture assembly 3 located inside the transparent cover can be understood as the lacrimal canaliculus inserter being cut, and the lacrimal canaliculus inserter on the fixture assembly 3 located outside the transparent cover can be understood as the lacrimal canaliculus inserter waiting to be cut. The aforementioned first conveyor belt 42 can drive the first sliding member 41 to extend into or out of the transparent cover through the through groove. After the lacrimal canaliculus inserter has been cut, the corresponding fixture assembly 3 will extend out of the transparent cover under the drive of the first sliding member 41.

[0077] The following details the operation of the cutting device: First, slightly straighten the lacrimal canaliculus insert and place it stably in the material trough 34 of the support plate 31 of the fixture assembly 3. Gently stack the cover plate 32 on the support plate 31, ensuring that all cutting slits 33 on the cover plate 32 overlap with the cutting positioning grooves 35 on the support plate 31. Then, place the fixture assembly 3, consisting of the support plate 31 and the cover plate 32, on the first sliding member 41. Press the control button 6 below the control panel 5 to turn on the cutting device and wait for the indicator light 7 to turn green.

[0078] Then, the movement speed of the first conveyor belt 42 is set to 100 mm / s via the control panel 5. The first conveyor belt 42 drives the first sliding member 41 and the fixture assembly 3 on the first sliding member 41 to move towards the cutting member 2, transporting the fixture assembly 3 to below the cutting member 2. The running speed of the third conveyor belt 46 is adjusted to 100 m / s via the control panel 5, and the number of cuts by the tool is 20. The third conveyor belt 46 drives the third sliding member 45, the cutting member 2, and the tool therein to perform up-and-down reciprocating cutting motion.

[0079] Then, the second conveyor belt 43 is adjusted to rotate counterclockwise at a speed of 100 mm / s via the control panel 5. The second conveyor belt 43 drives the second sliding member 44 and the cutting member 2 to move from left to right, completing the cutting of the entire lacrimal canaliculus insert. After cutting, the first conveyor belt 42 is set to move at a speed of 100 mm / s via the control panel 5, moving away from the transparent shield. Once the jig assembly 3 is transported outside the transparent shield, the second jig assembly 3, already loaded with lacrimal canaliculus insert, is placed on the first conveyor belt 42, and the above operation is repeated. After cutting, the finished lacrimal canaliculus insert can be packaged in a self-sealing bag.
