Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cleaning equipment, and in particular to a dental instrument cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of dental care, ensuring the cleanliness and sterility of instruments is of paramount importance. With the development of technology, ultrasonic cleaners have been widely used in the cleaning of dental instruments due to their advantages such as high efficiency, speed, and ability to remove stains from deep within the crevices of instruments.

[0003] However, existing ultrasonic cleaners still have some shortcomings. Most equipment requires operators to put each instrument into the cleaning solution in the cleaning tank. Since they need to come into contact with the cleaning solution, they need to wear gloves, which is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also increases the risk of cross-contamination. In addition, after cleaning, the instruments often still have a lot of moisture and require additional time to dry, which further reduces work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an oral instrument cleaning device that improves operation convenience and increases work efficiency.

[0005] This utility model discloses a dental instrument cleaning device, comprising:

[0006] The cleaning machine body is independently and fixedly installed. A cleaning tank is installed on the top of the cleaning machine body, and a sealing cover is installed at the corresponding cleaning tank.

[0007] The lifting mechanism, located on the main body of the cleaning machine, is used to adjust the height of the sealing cover to open and close the cleaning tank.

[0008] Two connectors are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the sealing cover to connect the sealing cover to the lifting mechanism;

[0009] An observation window, located in the fixing groove of the sealing cover, is used to observe the inside of the cleaning tank;

[0010] The mounting bracket is set on the sealing cover, and the mounting bracket is provided with a support layer, and the support layer is provided with a placement tray;

[0011] A fixing mechanism, set on the mounting bracket, is used to fix the tray at the connection position with the mounting bracket.

[0012] Furthermore, the mounting bracket has at least one support layer, and the fixing mechanism corresponds one-to-one with the support layer.

[0013] Preferably, the lifting mechanism includes:

[0014] Two positioning components are respectively installed in two mounting holes of the cleaning machine body, and the two positioning components are symmetrically arranged relative to the sealing cover. Limiting components are installed inside the positioning components.

[0015] Two threaded columns are respectively set inside the through cavity of two positioning parts, and the guide groove of the threaded column is slidably connected to the limiting part, and the top of the threaded column is set on the connecting part;

[0016] Two threaded tubes are rotatably connected at their top ends to two positioning parts, and the bottom ends of the two threaded tubes are rotatably mounted on the body of the cleaning machine. The threaded tubes are connected to the threaded column.

[0017] The drive mechanism, located inside the cleaning machine body, provides rotational power to the two threaded pipes.

[0018] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes:

[0019] The servo motor is located inside the cleaning machine body, and a drive sprocket is provided at the output end of the servo motor.

[0020] Two driven sprockets are coaxially mounted on two threaded pipes, respectively;

[0021] The chain, meshing with the drive sprocket and two driven sprockets, is used to transmit the rotation of the servo motor to two threaded tubes.

[0022] Preferably, the fixing mechanism includes:

[0023] Two support beams are symmetrically positioned at both ends of the placement plate;

[0024] Two positioning slide rails are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the mounting frame, and the support beam is slidably arranged inside the positioning groove of the positioning slide rail.

[0025] Furthermore, a threaded rod is provided at the threaded hole of the support layer, and an adjusting cap is coaxially provided on the threaded rod. The threaded rod is used to lock the connection position between the plate and the mounting bracket.

[0026] Preferably, the sealing cover is provided with a sealing gasket for sealing the sealing cover with the cleaning tank opening.

[0027] Furthermore, the bottom of the cleaning machine body is equipped with rollers, and the rollers are equipped with locking mechanisms.

[0028] This invention relates to a dental instrument cleaning device. The device features a detachable placement tray, making the loading and unloading of dental instruments extremely convenient. Operators no longer need to place each instrument individually into the cleaning tank; instead, they can directly remove or place the tray filled with instruments, significantly reducing preparation time and improving work efficiency. The lifting mechanism allows for precise adjustment of the sealing cap's height, simplifying the opening and closing of the cleaning tank. Operators only need to control the lifting mechanism to easily open and close the sealing cap, reducing tedious manual operations and enhancing the user experience.

Detailed Implementation

[0035] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.

[0036] This utility model relates to a dental instrument cleaning device, such as... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it includes:

[0037] The cleaning machine body 1 is independently fixed. The top of the cleaning machine body 1 is equipped with a cleaning tank for holding the oral instruments to be cleaned. A sealing cover 2 is also provided at the cleaning tank to ensure that the internal environment is isolated from the outside environment during the cleaning process and to prevent water vapor and dirt from leaking out.

[0038] The lifting mechanism 3 is installed on the main body 1 of the cleaning machine and connected to the sealing cover 2. It is used to adjust the height of the sealing cover 2 to open and close the cleaning tank.

[0039] Two connectors 4 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the sealing cover 2 to connect the sealing cover 2 to the lifting mechanism 3, ensuring that the sealing cover 2 can move up and down smoothly;

[0040] The observation window 5 is located in the fixing groove of the sealing cover 2 and is made of transparent material, allowing the operator to view the condition inside the cleaning tank without opening the sealing cover.

[0041] Mounting bracket 6 is set on sealing cover 2, and mounting bracket 6 is provided with support layer 7. Support layer 7 is provided with placement tray 8. Placement tray 8 is designed to be detachable, so as to facilitate loading and unloading of instruments that need to be cleaned.

[0042] The fixing mechanism 9 is set on the mounting frame 6 and is used to fix the plate 8 at the connection position with the mounting frame 6 to ensure that the plate 8 will not be displaced during the cleaning process;

[0043] The working principle of this device is as follows:

[0044] Before use, first place the dental instruments to be cleaned into the placement tray 8. Then, use the fixing mechanism 9 to securely fix the placement tray 8 onto the support layer 7. Next, use the lifting mechanism 3 to close the sealing cover 2 and check the condition inside the cleaning tank through the observation window 5. Finally, start the cleaning machine body 1 to begin the cleaning process. After cleaning, use the lifting mechanism 3 again to open the sealing cover 2 and remove the cleaned instruments.

[0045] This invention features a detachable placement tray 8, which greatly simplifies the loading and unloading of dental instruments. Operators no longer need to place each instrument individually into the cleaning tank; instead, they can directly remove or place the tray filled with instruments, significantly reducing preparation time and improving work efficiency. The lifting mechanism 3 allows for precise adjustment of the height of the sealing cover 2, simplifying the process of opening and closing the cleaning tank. Operators can easily open and close the sealing cover by controlling the lifting mechanism, reducing tedious manual operation steps and enhancing the user experience. The observation window 5, made of transparent material, is embedded in the fixing groove of the sealing cover 2, allowing operators to monitor the cleaning process without opening the sealing cover. This not only avoids the inconvenience caused by frequent opening and closing of the sealing cover but also ensures the stability and safety of the internal environment, further facilitating the inspection of instrument status.

[0046] As a preferred option, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the mounting bracket 6 has at least one support layer 7, each support layer 7 is independently designed and can be installed according to actual needs. The distance between the support layers 7 is adjustable, and the fixing mechanism 9 corresponds one-to-one with the support layer 7.

[0047] During the preparation stage, select the appropriate number of support layers according to the quantity and type of instruments to be cleaned, and adjust the spacing between each layer. Place the placement tray 8 containing the instruments on the corresponding support layer 7 and fix it with the corresponding fixing mechanism 9. By providing multiple support layers and corresponding fixing mechanisms, this utility model not only improves space utilization but also increases the capacity for single cleaning. The adjustable spacing of the support layers 7 and the quick-release fixing mechanism 9 greatly simplify the operation process and improve work efficiency.

[0048] In existing technologies, lifting mechanisms typically employ simple mechanical structures such as pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders to achieve lifting functions. However, these existing technologies can only achieve basic vertical lifting functions and often suffer from problems such as large space requirements, making them unsuitable for long-distance driving. This limitation is particularly pronounced in dental instrument cleaning equipment, where ensuring a tight seal between the cleaning tank and the sealing cover, as well as the stability of the sealing cover during movement and the availability of installation space, are crucial. To address these issues, this device designs a superior lifting mechanism. Figures 2 to 5 As shown, it includes:

[0049] Two positioning components 31 are respectively set in two mounting holes of the cleaning machine body 1, and the two positioning components 31 are symmetrically arranged relative to the sealing cover 2. A limit component 32 is provided in the positioning component 31 to ensure that the sealing cover 2 can only move in the vertical direction and cannot rotate.

[0050] Two threaded posts 33 are respectively disposed inside the through cavity of two positioning parts 31, and the guide groove of the threaded post 33 is slidably connected to the limiting part 32, and the top of the threaded post 33 is disposed on the connecting part 4.

[0051] Two threaded tubes 34 are rotatably connected at their top ends to two positioning parts 31 respectively, and the bottom ends of the two threaded tubes 34 are rotatably mounted on the body 1 of the cleaning machine. The threaded tubes 34 are connected to the threaded column 33, and the threaded tubes 34 and the threaded column 33 form a helical pair, which drives the linear motion of the threaded column 33 by rotation.

[0052] The drive mechanism 35 is located inside the cleaning machine body 1 and provides rotational power to the two threaded pipes 34;

[0053] The working principle of the lifting mechanism 3 of this device is as follows:

[0054] During the preparation phase, the operator starts the drive mechanism 35 to make the two threaded tubes 34 rotate synchronously. Depending on the direction of rotation, the threaded column 33 will move vertically under the action of the thread: when rotating forward, the threaded column 33 rises and the sealing cover 2 opens accordingly; when rotating in reverse, the threaded column 33 falls and the sealing cover 2 closes. The limiting member 32 ensures that the threaded column 33 only makes linear movement, avoiding instability caused by rotation. Throughout the process, the sealing cover 2 always remains horizontal, ensuring that its sealing performance with the cleaning tank is not affected.

[0055] The height of the sealing cover 2 can be precisely adjusted through the drive mechanism 35 and the threaded transmission system, ensuring that the ideal position is reached every time. The design of the limiting member 32 prevents the threaded column 33 from rotating unnecessarily, ensuring the stability of the sealing cover 2 during movement.

[0056] In existing technologies, the drive mechanism typically uses a simple electric motor or hydraulic device to drive the lifting mechanism. However, these existing technologies often suffer from insufficient precision, poor synchronization, and high maintenance costs. This is especially true in dental instrument cleaning equipment, where the limitations of existing technologies are particularly pronounced due to the need to ensure the smoothness and accuracy of the sealing cap during movement, as well as a tight seal between the cleaning tank and the sealing cap. To address these issues, this device designs a superior drive mechanism 35, such as... Figures 2 to 5 As shown, it includes:

[0057] Servo motor 35a is installed inside the cleaning machine body 1. It is an electric motor that can provide high-precision position control and torque output, and the output end of servo motor 35a is equipped with a drive sprocket 35b.

[0058] Two driven sprockets 35c are coaxially mounted on two threaded pipes 34 and are on the same horizontal plane as the driving sprocket 35b;

[0059] Chain 35d is meshed with drive sprocket 35b and two driven sprockets 35c, and is used to transmit the rotation of servo motor 35a to two threaded tubes 34. Chain 35d is not only responsible for transmitting the rotation of servo motor 35a to threaded tubes 34, but also ensures that the threaded tubes 34 on both sides rotate synchronously.

[0060] The working principle of the drive mechanism 35 of this device is as follows:

[0061] The servo motor 35a rotates forward or backward according to a preset program, causing the drive sprocket 35b to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise accordingly. The rotation of the drive sprocket 35b drives the two driven sprockets 35c to rotate synchronously through the chain 35d. When the driven sprockets 35c rotate, they drive the threaded tube 34 to rotate synchronously. Since the threaded tube 34 and the threaded post 33 form a helical pair, the threaded post 33 will move vertically under the action of the thread. According to the rotation direction of the servo motor 35a, the threaded post 33 rises or falls, thereby realizing the opening or closing action of the sealing cover 2.

[0062] The high-precision position control provided by the servo motor 35a ensures that the sealing cover 2 can accurately reach the predetermined position every time, improving the operational reliability and safety of the equipment. The design of the chain 35d and the driven sprocket 35c ensures the synchronous rotation of the threaded tubes 34 on both sides, preventing the sealing cover 2 from tilting due to uneven force on one side.

[0063] In existing technologies, fixation mechanisms typically employ simple locking mechanisms, snap-fits, or bolts to secure the instrument tray. However, these existing technologies often suffer from unstable fixation, cumbersome operation, and difficulty in adapting to instrument trays of different sizes. This limitation is particularly pronounced in dental instrument cleaning equipment, where ensuring the stability and safety of the instrument tray during cleaning, as well as facilitating loading, unloading, and cleaning, is crucial. To address these issues, this device designs a superior fixation mechanism 9, such as... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the fixing mechanism 9 includes:

[0064] Two support beams 91 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the placement tray 8, serving as the main support components of the placement tray 8 and also providing a foundation for the placement tray 8 to connect with the mounting frame 6;

[0065] Two positioning slide rails 92, each with a positioning groove inside, are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the mounting frame 6, and the support beam 91 is slidably arranged inside the positioning groove of the positioning slide rail 92, so that the placement plate 8 can be easily pushed into or pulled out of the mounting frame 6.

[0066] A threaded rod 93 is provided at the threaded hole of the support layer 7, and an adjusting cap 94 is coaxially provided on the threaded rod 93. By rotating the adjusting cap 94, the threaded rod 93 can be tightened or loosened. The threaded rod 93 is used to lock the connection position between the disc 8 and the mounting bracket 6.

[0067] The working principle of the fixing mechanism 9 in this device is as follows:

[0068] The operator first pushes the placement tray 8 containing the oral instruments into the mounting frame 6 until the support beam 91 is fully embedded in the positioning groove of the positioning slide rail 92. Then, the operator manually screws the adjusting cap 94 to move the threaded rod 93 downward and press the placement tray 8, firmly fixing it on the support layer 7. After cleaning, the operator screws the adjusting cap 94 in the opposite direction to raise the threaded rod 93 and release the placement tray 8. Finally, the operator can easily pull the placement tray 8 out of the mounting frame 6 and remove the cleaned instruments.

[0069] The combined design of the threaded rod 93 and the support beam 91 ensures that the placement tray 8 remains stable throughout the cleaning process, avoiding damage to the equipment caused by vibration or impact. The design of the positioning slide rail 92 makes the installation and removal of the placement tray 8 extremely simple; installation can be completed with just a gentle push. The screw-on adjustment cap 94 further simplifies the fixing and releasing operations. The multi-layer support layer 7 design allows multiple placement trays 8 to be fixed simultaneously, increasing the capacity of a single cleaning cycle and improving the overall efficiency of the equipment.

[0070] As a preferred option, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the sealing cover 2 is provided with a sealing gasket 21 for sealing the sealing cover 2 and the cleaning tank opening. The sealing gasket 21 is made of a high temperature resistant, corrosion resistant and highly elastic material, such as silicone rubber or fluororubber.

[0071] The sealing gasket 21 is made of high-performance materials, which can maintain stable sealing performance in various harsh environments, ensuring the safety of the cleaning process. The replaceable sealing gasket design makes maintenance easier and extends the overall service life of the equipment.

[0072] As a preferred option, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the washing machine body 1 has a roller 11 at its bottom end, and the roller 11 has a locking mechanism.

[0073] The design of the rollers 11 makes the equipment easy to move and suitable for different working environments, especially for applications that require frequent changes in position. The locking mechanism ensures the absolute stability of the equipment during use, avoids any unnecessary movement, and guarantees the cleaning effect and safety.

[0074] The oral instrument cleaning device of this utility model can be installed, connected or set up in a common mechanical way, and can be implemented as long as it can achieve its beneficial effect.

[0075] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
