Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of dental tools, in particular to a dental implant packaging assembly with a carrying body. Background Art

[0002] According to industry standard YY0315, dental implants must be packaged intact and sterile during transportation. Dental implants are subject to inevitable bumps and jolts during transportation. To prevent scratches, bruises, attachments, and other visible defects, especially contamination from packaging damage before use, appropriate protective measures must be implemented. Therefore, high standards are placed on dental implant packaging.

[0003] In existing dental implant packaging, some implants come into contact with the bottle wall, making them susceptible to wobbling during transport, resulting in bruises and even contamination from debris. While some are protected from contact with the bottle, they still have complex structures, multiple components, and complex assembly. For example, to prevent miscibility, parts contacting the implant are made of titanium alloy, while other parts are made of plastic, making assembly difficult. Furthermore, packaging dental implants of varying diameters requires selecting titanium alloy sheets with matching apertures, making it difficult for assemblers to completely avoid misplacing them. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present technical solution aims to provide a dental implant packaging combination with a carrying body to solve one or more technical problems existing in the prior art and at least provide a beneficial option or create conditions.

[0005] A dental implant packaging combination with a carrying body comprises a packaging bottle, wherein the packaging bottle comprises a bottle body and a bottle cap, wherein the bottle body is provided with: a sleeve, a carrying body and an elastic member. The sleeve is a tubular member, and its upper side wall is provided with a notch, and the central angle corresponding to the notch is less than 180°, and the upper part of the sleeve also has a convex edge extending inward. The carrying body is a columnar member, wherein the middle part is provided with an annular groove, and the lower part of the carrying body is provided with a dental implant connector for connecting the dental implant. The two ends of the elastic member respectively abut the bottom inner wall of the bottle body and the bottom end of the sleeve. The carrying body is fixed in the sleeve by the cooperation of the groove and the convex edge, and the elastic member provides the sleeve with a tendency to move upward, so that the carrying body abuts the bottle cap.

[0006] The dental implant to be packaged is fixedly connected to the dental implant connector at the bottom of the carrier. The contact surface between the two is located inside the dental implant, which will not affect or contaminate the dental implant surface. After the carrier is fixedly connected to the dental implant, it is radially moved into the sleeve from the notch of the sleeve. The sleeve's convex edge cooperates with the carrier's slot to lock the middle of the carrier, thus positioning the middle of the carrier and preventing the packaging material from contacting the dental implant surface. An elastic component is then used to push the sleeve upward from the bottom, causing the sleeve to drive the carrier to abut against the bottle cap, thereby positioning the upper portion of the carrier. Because the upper and middle portions of the carrier are effectively positioned, even if the packaging assembly is subjected to bumps and shakes, the carrier and the dental implant it carries will not collide, resulting in scratches, bruises, attachments, or other visible defects. The elastic component can be made of medical-grade memory foam columns.

[0007] In order to further improve the stability of the dental implant in the packaging combination, a supporting pad is further provided in the sleeve. The supporting pad is a rotating body, the top of the supporting pad is the dental implant supporting surface, and the bottom of the supporting pad is in contact with the elastic member. The supporting pad can be made of soft and elastic materials such as medical silicone and medical TPE. When in use, the supporting pad is inserted into the sleeve from the bottom end, and the dental implant supporting surface at the top of the supporting pad directly contacts the bottom end of the dental implant, while the bottom end of the supporting pad contacts the elastic member, and also obtains an upward movement tendency from the elastic member, so that the dental implant supporting surface and the dental implant are kept in close contact.

[0008] Furthermore, the lower inner side of the sleeve has a tapered section, the inner diameter of which gradually increases from top to bottom. The support pad includes an upper support section and a lower limiting section. The top of the support section serves as the dental implant support surface. The outer diameter of the support section is smaller than the inner diameter of the sleeve, and the limiting section and the tapered section of the sleeve form a Morse taper interference fit. Because the support pad is made of a soft, elastic material, its limiting section can easily enter and achieve interference fit with the tapered section of the sleeve during assembly, which provides the advantages of easy assembly and resistance to falling off. In addition, the support pad and the sleeve are manufactured separately, allowing the support pad to be prefabricated into a variety of different lengths to accommodate dental implants of different sizes.

[0009] Furthermore, the central portion of the carrier body is provided with a radially outwardly projecting shoulder, the retaining groove being located in the central portion of the shoulder, and the upper inner side of the sleeve having a cylindrical section that has an interference fit with the shoulder, with the convex edge located within the cylindrical section. Because the central angle corresponding to the notch is less than 180°, and the cylindrical section directly opposite the notch has an interference fit with the shoulder, the carrier body is unlikely to fall out of the sleeve after being inserted therein. Furthermore, at least one expansion joint may be provided axially from the top of the sleeve downward, the length of the expansion joint being greater than the length of the cylindrical section. The presence of the expansion joint facilitates assembly by achieving the interference fit between the cylindrical section and the shoulder.

[0010] Furthermore, a pressure ring is provided on the inner side of the bottle cap, the inner diameter of which is smaller than the outer diameter of the shoulder of the carrier, and the bottle cap abuts against the upper end surface of the shoulder through the bottom end of the pressure ring. The pressure ring can be extruded from PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and is elastic, so that the portion of the carrier above the shoulder can penetrate the pressure ring, and the bottom end of the pressure ring can be tightly attached to the shoulder, forming a relatively stable socket connection.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the upper portion of the sleeve gradually decreases from bottom to top. The sleeve can be made of PCTG injection molding. PCTG is an amorphous copolyester. Its products are highly transparent and have excellent impact resistance. They are particularly suitable for molding thick-walled transparent products. It has excellent processing and molding properties and can be designed into any shape according to the designer's intention. Traditional molding methods such as extrusion, injection molding, blow molding, and vacuum molding can be used. It can be widely used in the market for sheet materials, high-performance shrink film, bottles and profiles, cosmetics packaging, etc. At the same time, it has excellent secondary processing properties and can undergo conventional machining modification. Therefore, the outer diameter of the upper portion of the sleeve is designed to be tapered from bottom to top, which can reduce wall thickness and facilitate injection molding.

[0012] Furthermore, the bottle body and the bottle cap are connected via a threaded connection. Both the bottle body and the bottle cap can be injection-molded or compression-molded from PCTG or LDPE, providing rigid support and secondary protection. This threaded connection ensures a good seal. A sealing ring is further provided within the bottle cap, abutting the bottom of the bottle body. The outer surface of the bottle cap is provided with anti-slip grooves, further facilitating user opening.

[0013] This invention leverages the advantages of materials, manufacturing methods, and processes, integrating them through effective structural design into a dental implant packaging assembly. This assembly offers excellent strength, facilitates packaging and transportation, and prevents contamination from bacteria and impurities. This packaging assembly protects the dental implant from contact with the bottle and prevents vibration during transportation. Its relatively simple structure, minimal components, and low cost facilitate mass production and assembly. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0019] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0020] In the description of the present invention, "several" means one or more, "many" means more than two, "greater than," "less than," and "exceed" are understood to exclude the number itself, while "above," "below," and "within" are understood to include the number itself. The use of "first" and "second" in the description is solely for the purpose of distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, implicitly specifying the number of the indicated technical features, or implicitly specifying the order of the indicated technical features.

[0021] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, and connecting should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0022] Example 1, as Figures 1 to 4The figure shows a dental implant packaging assembly with a carrier, comprising a packaging bottle, comprising a bottle body 010 and a bottle cap 020. Within the bottle body 010 are a sleeve 050, a carrier body 080, and an elastic member 070. The sleeve 050 is a tubular member with a notch 051 defined in its upper sidewall. The notch 051 corresponds to a central angle less than 180°. The upper portion of the sleeve 050 also has an inwardly extending lip 052. The carrier body 080 is a columnar member with an annular groove 081 defined in its center. The lower portion of the carrier body 080 is provided with a dental implant connector for connecting to a dental implant 090. The ends of the elastic member 070 abut the bottom inner wall of the bottle body 010 and the bottom end of the sleeve 050, respectively. The carrier 080 is secured within the sleeve 050 through the engagement of the slot 081 and the ridge 052. The elastic member 070 provides an upward movement bias for the sleeve 050, allowing the carrier 080 to abut against the bottle cap 020. The dental implant 090 to be packaged is fixedly connected to the dental implant connector at the bottom of the carrier 080. The contact surface between the two is located within the interior of the dental implant 090, preventing any contact or contamination of the dental implant 090 surface. Once the carrier 080 is fixedly connected to the dental implant 090, it is radially moved into the sleeve 050 from the notch 051 of the sleeve 050. The ridge 052 of the sleeve 050 engages the slot 081 of the carrier 080, positioning the center of the carrier 080. This also prevents packaging material from contacting the surface of the dental implant 090. The elastic member 070 then pushes the sleeve 050 upward from the bottom, causing the sleeve 050 to drive the carrier 080 against the bottle cap 020, thereby positioning the upper portion of the carrier 080. Because both the upper and middle portions of the carrier 080 are effectively positioned, even if the packaging assembly is subjected to bumps and jolts, the carrier 080 and the dental implant 090 it carries will not collide, resulting in scratches, bruises, attachments, or other visible defects.

[0023] As a further optimization, a support pad 060 is further provided within the sleeve 050. The support pad 060 is a rotating body, with its top end serving as the dental implant support surface, and its bottom end abutting against the elastic member 070. In this embodiment, the support pad 060 is made of medical silicone, which prevents scratches, bruises, or buildup even when in contact with the dental implant 090. During use, the support pad 060 is inserted into the sleeve 050 from its bottom end. The dental implant support surface at the top of the support pad 060 directly contacts the bottom end of the dental implant 090, further enhancing the stability of the dental implant 090 within the packaging assembly. The bottom end of the support pad 060, in turn, contacts the elastic member 070, receiving an upward bias from the elastic member 070, ensuring close contact between the dental implant support surface and the dental implant 090.

[0024] As a further optimization, the lower inner side of sleeve 050 features a tapered section whose inner diameter gradually increases from top to bottom. Support pad 060 comprises an upper supporting section 061 and a lower limiting section 062. The top of supporting section 061 serves as the dental implant support surface. The outer diameter of supporting section 061 is smaller than the inner diameter of sleeve 050, and limiting section 062 forms a Morse taper interference fit with the tapered section of sleeve 050. Because support pad 060 is made of medical silicone, its limiting section 062 easily fits into and achieves an interference fit with the tapered section of sleeve 050 during assembly, making it easy to assemble and difficult to fall off. Furthermore, support pad 060 is manufactured separately from sleeve 050, allowing it to be prefabricated in a variety of lengths to accommodate dental implants 090 of varying sizes.

[0025] As a further optimization, the central portion of the carrier body 080 is provided with a radially outwardly projecting shoulder 082. The retaining groove 081 is located midway within the shoulder 082. The upper inner portion of the sleeve 050 includes a cylindrical section 053, which forms an interference fit with the shoulder 082, with the ridge 052 positioned within the cylindrical section 053. Because the central angle corresponding to the notch 051 is less than 180°, and the cylindrical section 053 facing the notch 051 forms an interference fit with the shoulder 082, the carrier body 080 is unlikely to fall out of the sleeve 050 after being inserted. Furthermore, an expansion gap 054 is provided axially downward from the top of the sleeve 050, its length being greater than that of the cylindrical section 053. This expansion gap 054 allows the upper portion of the sleeve 050 to be somewhat expanded, facilitating the interference fit between the cylindrical section 053 and the shoulder 082 for easier assembly.

[0026] As a further optimization, a pressure ring 030 is provided on the inner side of the bottle cap 020. The inner diameter of the pressure ring 030 is smaller than the outer diameter of the shoulder 082 of the carrier 080. The bottle cap 020 abuts the upper end of the shoulder 082 through the bottom end of the pressure ring 030. The pressure ring 030 is extruded from PVC and is elastic, allowing the portion of the carrier 080 above the shoulder 083 to penetrate the pressure ring 030, while the bottom end of the pressure ring 030 can be tightly pressed against the shoulder 080, forming a relatively stable socket connection.

[0027] As a further optimization, the outer diameter of the upper portion of the sleeve 050 gradually decreases from bottom to top. Sleeve 050 is made of PCTG injection molding. Therefore, the outer diameter of the upper portion of the sleeve 050 is designed to be tapered from bottom to top, which can reduce wall thickness and facilitate injection molding.

[0028] As a further optimization, the bottle body 010 and the bottle cap 020 are connected via a threaded connection. Both the bottle body 010 and the bottle cap 020 are injection molded from PCTG material, providing rigid support and secondary protection. This threaded connection ensures excellent sealing. Furthermore, a sealing ring 040 is positioned within the bottle cap 020, abutting the bottom end of the bottle body 010. The outer surface of the bottle cap 020 is provided with anti-slip grooves 021, further facilitating user opening.
