このため、上記押出成形装置の送出機、押出成形機、および冷却装置は、その組み付け時や、試運転をする際などにおける相対位置の変更時に、上記のように直線的に延びた支持レールに案内されて直線的に移動可能とされると共に、その各移動位置でこの支持レールに固着可能とされる。よって、上記押出成形装置の組み付け時などにおける上記送出機、押出成形機、および冷却装置のアラインメント調整の作業は容易にできて、作業性が向上する。 For this reason, the feeding device, the extrusion molding machine, the cooling device, etc. of the extrusion molding device are attached to the support rail that extends linearly as described above when the relative position is changed during the assembly or trial operation. It is guided and can move linearly, and can be fixed to the support rail at each moving position. Therefore, alignment adjustment operations such as the delivery machine, the extrusion molding machine, and the cooling apparatus at the time of assembling the extrusion molding apparatus can be easily performed, and workability is improved.

請求項の発明は、上記一次冷却装置の冷却媒体を空気としている。 According to a third aspect of the present invention, the cooling medium of the primary cooling device is air.

ここで、仮に、上記冷却媒体を水にしたとすると、冷却装置には、水を貯留する水槽と、この水槽を貫通するよう通過する中間品チューブと上記水槽との間をシールするシール装置とが必要となって、上記冷却装置は大型になると共に質量が大きくなりがちである。   Here, assuming that the cooling medium is water, the cooling device includes a water tank for storing water, an intermediate product tube that passes through the water tank, and a sealing device that seals between the water tank. Therefore, the cooling device tends to be large in size and large in mass.

しかし、上記したように、冷却媒体を空気にすると、その冷却装置は、冷却媒体を水にすることに比べ、より小型かつ軽量にできる。よって、その分、上記押出成形装置の組み付け時などにおける上記送出機、押出成形機、および冷却装置のアラインメント調整の作業はよりは容易にできて、その作業性がより向上する。   However, as described above, when the cooling medium is air, the cooling device can be made smaller and lighter than when the cooling medium is water. Therefore, the work of adjusting the alignment of the delivery device, the extrusion molding machine, and the cooling device at the time of assembling the extrusion molding apparatus can be made easier and the workability is further improved.

請求項の発明は、上記中間層チューブが形成された長尺材をカテーテルの構成部材としている。 According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the long material on which the intermediate layer tube is formed is a constituent member of the catheter.

ここで、上記カテーテルは、その用途から見て外径寸法が小さく、熱容量が小さいものである。そこで、上記したように、中間層チューブを冷却する冷却媒体として空気を適用したのであり、しかも、この空気は少量で足りることから、上記冷却装置は更に小型かつ軽量にできる。よって、その分、上記押出成形装置の組み付け時などにおける上記送出機、押出成形機、および冷却装置のアラインメント調整の作業は更に容易にできて、その作業性が更に向上する。   Here, the catheter has a small outer diameter and a small heat capacity in view of its use. Therefore, as described above, air is applied as a cooling medium for cooling the intermediate layer tube, and since the air is sufficient in a small amount, the cooling device can be further reduced in size and weight. Therefore, the work of adjusting the alignment of the delivery device, the extrusion molding machine, and the cooling device at the time of assembling the extrusion molding apparatus can be further facilitated, and the workability is further improved.

カテーテル、およびその押出成形装置の簡略側面図である。It is a simplified side view of a catheter and its extrusion apparatus. 図1の部分拡大図である。It is the elements on larger scale of FIG. 図2のIII−III線矢視部分断面図である。FIG. 3 is a partial cross-sectional view taken along line III-III in FIG. 2.

本発明のカテーテルなどのための押出成形装置に関し、この押出成形装置の構成部材の組み付け時などにおけるアラインメント調整の作業が容易にできるようにする、という目的を実現するため、本発明を実施するための形態は、次の如くである。   The present invention relates to an extrusion molding apparatus for a catheter or the like of the present invention, in order to implement the present invention in order to realize the purpose of facilitating alignment adjustment work when assembling the constituent members of the extrusion molding apparatus. The form of is as follows.

即ち、押出成形装置は、可撓性の長尺材を仮想直線上に位置させて一方向に向かうよう送り出す送出機と、上記送り出される長尺材を内包するよう樹脂製チューブを押出成形して中間品チューブを形成する押出成形機と、上記中間品チューブを冷却する冷却装置とを備える。上記仮想直線上に沿って直線的に延び、その長手方向の各部横断面が互いに同形同大とされて静止側部材に取り付けられる支持レールが設けられる。上記送出機、押出成形機、および冷却装置は、それぞれ上記支持レールの長手方向に向かって個別に移動可能、かつ、その各移動位置でこの支持レールに固着可能となるよう設けられる。   That is, the extrusion molding apparatus extrudes a resin-made tube so that a flexible long material is positioned on a virtual straight line and is sent in one direction, and the long material to be fed is contained. An extruder for forming the intermediate product tube and a cooling device for cooling the intermediate product tube are provided. A support rail is provided that extends linearly along the imaginary straight line and that has cross-sections in the longitudinal direction that are the same shape and size as each other, and is attached to the stationary member. The delivery device, the extrusion molding machine, and the cooling device are provided so as to be individually movable in the longitudinal direction of the support rail, and to be fixed to the support rail at each moving position.

また、上記押出成形装置2は、上記仮想直線22に沿って直線的に延び、上記静止側部材13である架台14の上面に締結具42により着脱可能に取り付けられる支持レール43を備えている。この支持レール43は、その長手方向の各部断面が互いに同形同大とされている。   The extrusion molding apparatus 2 includes a support rail 43 that extends linearly along the virtual straight line 22 and is detachably attached to the upper surface of the gantry 14 that is the stationary member 13 by a fastener 42. The support rails 43 have the same cross section in the longitudinal direction.

特に、図2,3で示すように、上記一次冷却装置33は、上記支持レール43に、その長手方向に向かってのみ、前後移動可能となるよう外嵌される支持台47と、上記支持レール43の長手方向の所望位置で上記支持台47を任意に固着可能とする締結具48と、上記支持台47に支持され、内部が冷却室49とされる冷却器50と、上記仮想直線22上に位置して上記冷却室49を貫通するよう上記冷却器50に両端支持される冷却パイプ51と、この冷却パイプ51に形成され、この冷却パイプ51の内部に上記冷却室49を連通させる多数の連通孔52と、空気圧縮機53からの圧縮空気を上記冷却室49内に噴射して、これを断熱膨張させることにより冷却媒体54とするノズル55とを有している。   In particular, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the primary cooling device 33 is mounted on the support rail 43 so that it can be moved back and forth only in the longitudinal direction, and the support rail. 43, a fastener 48 capable of arbitrarily fixing the support base 47 at a desired position in the longitudinal direction, a cooler 50 supported by the support base 47 and having a cooling chamber 49 inside, and the virtual straight line 22 A cooling pipe 51 supported at both ends by the cooler 50 so as to pass through the cooling chamber 49 and a plurality of cooling pipes 51 formed in the cooling pipe 51 and communicating with the cooling chamber 49 inside the cooling pipe 51. It has the communicating hole 52 and the nozzle 55 used as the cooling medium 54 by injecting the compressed air from the air compressor 53 in the said cooling chamber 49, and carrying out adiabatic expansion of this.

そして、上記一次押出成形機32により形成された直後の中間品チューブ31が上記冷却パイプ51内の仮想直線22上を前方に移動するとき、この中間品チューブ31は、上記冷却室49から上記各連通孔52を通し上記冷却パイプ51内に噴射される上記冷却媒体54により空冷されて硬化させられる。   When the intermediate product tube 31 immediately after being formed by the primary extruder 32 moves forward on the virtual straight line 22 in the cooling pipe 51, the intermediate product tube 31 is moved from the cooling chamber 49 to each of the above. The air is cooled and cured by the cooling medium 54 injected into the cooling pipe 51 through the communication hole 52.

図1において、上記二次冷却装置37は、上記仮想直線22上に位置して、内部が冷却室59とされる冷却器60と、送風機61からの空気を冷却する冷却器62と、この冷却器62からの冷却空気を濾過して浄化するフィルター63とを備えている。上記冷却器60は、電子冷熱循環装置といわれる公知のもので、上記フィルター63で浄化された冷却空気である冷却媒体64は、上記冷却室59の後部に供給される一方、この冷却室59を通った後、その前部から上記送風機61の吸入側に戻される。   In FIG. 1, the secondary cooling device 37 is located on the virtual straight line 22, a cooler 60 having a cooling chamber 59 inside, a cooler 62 that cools air from the blower 61, and this cooling And a filter 63 for filtering and purifying the cooling air from the vessel 62. The cooler 60 is a known device called an electronic cooling / circulating device, and a cooling medium 64, which is cooling air purified by the filter 63, is supplied to the rear part of the cooling chamber 59. After passing, it returns to the suction side of the blower 61 from its front part.

そして、上記二次押出成形機36により形成された直後のカテーテル1が上記仮想直線22上で上記冷却室59および冷却器60を貫通して前方移動するとき、このカテーテル1は、上記冷却媒体64により空冷されて硬化させられ、その後、上記引取機24およびターンロール25を介し上記巻取機26により巻き取られる。   When the catheter 1 immediately after being formed by the secondary extruder 36 moves forward through the cooling chamber 59 and the cooler 60 on the virtual straight line 22, the catheter 1 is moved to the cooling medium 64. Then, it is cooled by air and cured, and thereafter wound by the winder 26 via the take-up machine 24 and the turn roll 25.

上記巻取機26により巻き取られたカテーテル1は、その後、所望寸法に切断され、上記芯線材18が抜き出されることにより最終製品とされる。なお、図中二点鎖線で示すように、上記ターンロール25および巻取機26に代え、上記引取機24により引き取られた直後のカテーテル1を所望寸法に、次々と自動的に切断する切断機67を設けてもよい。 The catheter 1 taken up by the take-up machine 26 is then cut to a desired size, and the core wire 18 is extracted to obtain a final product. In addition, as shown with the dashed-two dotted line in the figure, it replaces with the said turn roll 25 and the winder 26, and the cutting machine which cuts the catheter 1 immediately after having been taken up by the said take-up machine 24 to a desired dimension one after another automatically 67 may be provided.

ここで、上記ターンロール21、送出機23、引取機24、ターンロール25、外径測定器29、各押出成形機32,36、二次冷却装置37、外径測定器38、および切断機67は、詳図しないが、それぞれ前記支持台47と締結具48と同構成のものを有し、それぞれ上記支持レール43の長手方向に向かってのみ個別に前後移動可能、かつ、その各移動位置でこの支持レール43に固着可能となるよう設けられる。   Here, the turn roll 21, the delivery machine 23, the take-up machine 24, the turn roll 25, the outer diameter measuring instrument 29, the extrusion molding machines 32 and 36, the secondary cooling device 37, the outer diameter measuring instrument 38, and the cutting machine 67. Although not shown in detail, each has the same structure as the support base 47 and the fastener 48, and can be individually moved back and forth only in the longitudinal direction of the support rail 43, and at each moving position thereof. It is provided so that it can be fixed to the support rail 43.

上記構成によれば、上記内、外層チューブ5,6の間に介挿されると共に上記補強層8を埋入する樹脂製の中間層チューブ9が設けられ、この中間層チューブ9の外周面が上記補強層8の径方向の最外面近傍を通るよう、上記中間層チューブ9が形成されている。   According to the said structure, the resin intermediate | middle layer tube 9 which inserts between the said inner and outer layer tubes 5 and 6 and embeds the said reinforcement layer 8 is provided, and the outer peripheral surface of this intermediate | middle layer tube 9 is the above-mentioned The intermediate layer tube 9 is formed so as to pass near the outermost surface in the radial direction of the reinforcing layer 8.

このため、上記したように、素線7により形成されたチューブ形状の補強層8が上記内層チューブ5の外周面上に存在することに因り、上記補強層8を埋入する中間層チューブ9の外周面に凹、凸部が生じるとしても、この中間層チューブ9を内包する外層チューブ6により、この外層チューブ6の外周面は平滑にでき、つまり、カテーテル1の外周面の平滑度を向上させることができる。よって、このカテーテル1を血管に挿入したとき、この血管の内周面に対しカテーテル1は円滑に摺動可能とされる。   For this reason, as described above, the tube-shaped reinforcing layer 8 formed by the strands 7 exists on the outer peripheral surface of the inner layer tube 5, so that the intermediate layer tube 9 in which the reinforcing layer 8 is embedded is provided. Even if a concave or convex portion is formed on the outer peripheral surface, the outer layer tube 6 containing the intermediate layer tube 9 can smooth the outer peripheral surface of the outer layer tube 6, that is, improve the smoothness of the outer peripheral surface of the catheter 1. be able to. Therefore, when the catheter 1 is inserted into a blood vessel, the catheter 1 can slide smoothly with respect to the inner peripheral surface of the blood vessel.

また、上記したように、中間層チューブ9の外周面が上記補強層8の径方向の最外面近傍を通るよう、上記中間層チューブ9が形成されたため、上記補強層8を埋入する上で、上記中間層チューブ9の各部の厚さは最小限にとどめられたのであり、その分、上記カテーテル1の各部における厚さは小さく抑制できる。よって、このカテーテル1に所望の可撓性を確保できることから、曲がりくねった血管であっても、これに上記カテーテル1は円滑に追従可能とされる。   Further, as described above, since the intermediate layer tube 9 is formed so that the outer peripheral surface of the intermediate layer tube 9 passes in the vicinity of the outermost surface in the radial direction of the reinforcing layer 8, when the reinforcing layer 8 is embedded. The thickness of each part of the intermediate tube 9 is kept to a minimum, and accordingly, the thickness of each part of the catheter 1 can be suppressed small. Therefore, since the desired flexibility can be secured for the catheter 1, the catheter 1 can smoothly follow even a tortuous blood vessel.

また、前記したように、仮想直線22上に沿って直線的に延び、その長手方向の各部横断面が互いに同形同大とされて静止側部材13に取り付けられる支持レール43を設け、上記送出機23、押出成形機32、および冷却装置33をそれぞれ上記支持レール43の長手方向に向かって個別に移動可能、かつ、その各移動位置でこの支持レール43に固着可能となるよう設けている。   Further, as described above, the support rail 43 that extends linearly along the imaginary straight line 22 and whose cross sections in the longitudinal direction have the same shape and the same size as each other and is attached to the stationary member 13 is provided. The machine 23, the extrusion molding machine 32, and the cooling device 33 are provided so as to be individually movable in the longitudinal direction of the support rail 43, and to be fixed to the support rail 43 at each moving position.

このため、上記押出成形装置2の送出機23、押出成形機32、および冷却装置33は、その組み付け時や、試運転をする際などにおける相対位置の変更時に上記のように直線的に延びた支持レール43に案内されて直線的に移動可能とされると共に、その各移動位置でこの支持レール43に固着可能とされる。よって、上記押出成形装置2の組み付け時などにおける上記送出機23、押出成形機32、および冷却装置33のアラインメント調整の作業は容易にできて、作業性が向上する。   For this reason, the feeder 23, the extruder 32, and the cooling device 33 of the extrusion molding apparatus 2 support linearly extended as described above when the relative position is changed during the assembly or trial operation. It is guided by the rail 43 and can be moved linearly, and can be fixed to the support rail 43 at each moving position. Therefore, the work of adjusting the alignment of the feeder 23, the extruder 32, and the cooling device 33 at the time of assembling the extruder 2 can be easily performed, and the workability is improved.

また、前記したように、冷却装置33の冷却媒体54を空気としている。   Further, as described above, the cooling medium 54 of the cooling device 33 is air.

ここで、仮に、上記冷却媒体54を水にしたとすると、冷却装置には、水を貯留する水槽と、この水槽を貫通するよう通過する中間品チューブ31と上記水槽との間をシールするシール装置とが必要となって、上記冷却装置は大型になると共に質量が大きくなりがちである。   Here, if the cooling medium 54 is water, the cooling device includes a water tank for storing water, and a seal that seals between the water tank and the intermediate product tube 31 that passes through the water tank. The above-described cooling device tends to be large and have a large mass.

しかし、上記したように、冷却媒体54を空気にすると、その冷却装置33は、冷却媒体54を水にすることに比べ、より小型かつ軽量にできる。よって、その分、上記押出成形装置2の組み付け時などにおける上記送出機23、押出成形機32、および冷却装置33のアラインメント調整の作業はより容易にできて、その作業性がより向上する。   However, as described above, when the cooling medium 54 is air, the cooling device 33 can be made smaller and lighter than when the cooling medium 54 is water. Therefore, the work of adjusting the alignment of the delivery machine 23, the extrusion molding machine 32, and the cooling device 33 at the time of assembling the extrusion molding apparatus 2 can be performed more easily, and the workability is further improved.

また、前記したように、中間品チューブ31をカテーテル1の構成部材としている。   Further, as described above, the intermediate tube 31 is used as a constituent member of the catheter 1.

ここで、上記カテーテル1は、その用途から見て外径寸法が小さく、熱容量が小さいものである。そこで、上記したように、中間層チューブ9を冷却する冷却媒体54として空気を適用したのであり、しかも、この空気は少量で足りることから、上記冷却装置33は更に小型かつ軽量にできる。よって、その分、上記押出成形装置2の組み付け時などにおける上記送出機23、押出成形機32、および冷却装置33のアラインメント調整の作業は更に容易にできて、その作業性が更に向上する。   Here, the catheter 1 has a small outer diameter and a small heat capacity in view of its use. Therefore, as described above, air is applied as the cooling medium 54 for cooling the intermediate layer tube 9, and since this air is sufficient in a small amount, the cooling device 33 can be further reduced in size and weight. Therefore, the work of adjusting the alignment of the delivery device 23, the extrusion molding machine 32, and the cooling device 33 at the time of assembling the extrusion molding device 2 can be further facilitated, and the workability is further improved.
