A film-pressing equipment for the production of shell-shaped orthodontic appliances

Abstract

The invention provides a laminating equipment for shell-shaped dental appliance production, comprising: a control device, a feeding module, a fixed working module, a moving working module, a laminating module, a first lifting module and a second lifting module, the control device controls The loading module simultaneously picks up the diaphragm and jaw model components, and places them in the first station and the second station synchronously, and simultaneously moves the heating device to the first station and the carrier table to the second station, controlled by the control device The first lifting module drives the carrying platform to lift and carry the dental model components; the control device controls the heating device to heat the film according to the predetermined lamination process parameters; synchronously moves the carrying platform from the second station to the first station and The heating device is separated from the first station; at the same time, the control device controls the second driving device to drive the lamination assembly to move toward the bearing table, and controls the lamination assembly to press the film on the dental model assembly according to the predetermined lamination process parameters .

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of orthodontics, and more precisely relates to the manufacturing technology of a shell-shaped dental appliance, in particular to a film-pressing device for producing a shell-shaped dental appliance. Background technique [0002] In the existing technology of preparing shell-shaped orthodontic appliances, it generally includes obtaining a digital model in the patient's mouth, 3D printing the dental model, cleaning the dental model, curing the dental model, pressing the film, artificially removing the film, cutting, polishing, shell-shaped Orthodontic appliance cleaning, inspection, packaging and other processes. Among them, the film pressing process is an important part of the preparation of shell-shaped orthodontic appliances. In this process, the diaphragm is heated, and then it is pressed onto the dental model through positive or negative pressure, that is, the shell corresponding to the dental model is fo...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Manual film lamination has low work efficiency and cannot increase productivity on a large scale, and the labor intensity is high. Long-term high-intensity work will affect the health of employees

When some semi-automatic processes are used, usually the dental model and the diaphragm to be processed are transferred to the laminating position respectively, and then the diaphragm is heated. After the diaphragm is heated, it is moved to the dental model , and then transfer to the pressing film component to press the diaphragm onto the jaw model. The whole process takes a long time. Since the temperature of the diaphragm is strictly controlled during the pressing process, the heated diaphragm is moving. The temperature of the diaphragm changes, which affects the effect of the pressing film, thereby affecting the processing of the orthodontic appliance; and the entire pressing film has a complex structure, a large footprint, and high costs.
