Previous theoretical studies can only explain part of the observed intermediate-mass binary pulsars (IMBPs) with short orbital periods. Note that an ONe white dwarf (WD) accreting mass from a He star may experience the accretion-induced collapse process and eventually form IMBPs, known as the ONe WD+He star scenario. By investigating the evolution of a large number of ONe WD+He star binaries, we found that the ONe WD+He star scenario can form IMBPs including pulsars with 5 – 340 ms spin periods, and the orbital periods range from 0.04 to 900 d. Compared with the observed IMBPs, this scenario can cover almost all of the IMBPs with short orbital periods. Thus, we suggest that the ONe WD+He star channel is responsible for the formation of IMBPs with short orbital periods.
