Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a kind of dental cleaning system and its preparation method, more particularly to a kind of ultrasonic dental cleaning vibration system and its preparation method, belong to ultrasonic surgical instrument processing technical field. BACKGROUND

[0002] Ultrasonic wave refers to the sound wave above 20KHz, because of its directivity, penetration, has been widely used in ultrasonic dental cleaning, ultrasonic ablation, ultrasonic atomization, B ultrasonic examination and many other medical fields.Compared with traditional surgery, ultrasonic dental cleaning surgery has the advantages of high efficiency, fast speed, light trauma, less bleeding, etc., which brings great benefits to doctors and patients.

[0003] Ultrasonic dental cleaning system is mainly composed of high-frequency power source (generator) and ultrasonic vibration system.The ultrasonic vibration system includes three parts: piezoelectric transducer, amplitude transformer and working tip.Among them, piezoelectric transducer is a device for energy conversion, which converts the electrical energy generated by ultrasonic generator into mechanical energy through the piezoelectric effect of piezoelectric ceramic, and radiates through the amplitude transformer to make the working tip form reciprocating vibration.The working tip contacts the tooth, and uses mechanical vibration to remove calculus, pigment and smoke spots on the tooth, etc., to achieve the effect of cleaning and protecting the tooth.

[0004] In ultrasonic dental cleaning system, ultrasonic vibration system is the key component, and its characteristics directly affect the performance of the whole system.A perfect ultrasonic dental cleaning vibration system should have the performance characteristics of high power and high stability.In power ultrasound, the energy of mechanical wave is proportional to the square of its amplitude, and power is the energy per unit time.That is, the larger the amplitude of ultrasonic vibration system, the greater the output power per unit time, which is more conducive to processing.Currently, the common methods to increase the output amplitude include increasing the excitation voltage and using stepped amplitude transformer.However, the increase of voltage may damage the equipment and cause radiation and interference to the surrounding environment;Although the stepped amplitude transformer has a large amplification factor, its cross-section changes in a jump, and the shape factor is less than 1, and the stress often exceeds the allowable stress of the material.Even if a high-power ultrasonic vibration system is finally obtained, its stability is not good, and it cannot guarantee high-power output during the whole dental cleaning process, which affects the dental cleaning effect.This is because, first, the temperature of piezoelectric ceramic rises, and the electromechanical conversion efficiency decreases, and when the temperature exceeds the Curie temperature, the piezoelectric effect will disappear;Second, the temperature of the working tip rises sharply, which may cause the phenomenon of tissue adhesion, although waterway structure can be added between the transducer and the amplitude transformer, but the processing cost is also increased.Therefore, how to obtain an ultrasonic dental cleaning vibration system with high power and high stability is a problem to be solved at present.

[0026] Principle and advantage

[0027] The piezoelectric transducer is a device for energy conversion, which uses piezoelectric ceramic to convert the oscillation electric signal generated by the ultrasonic generator into mechanical vibration signal, i.e. to convert electric energy into mechanical energy. Therefore, piezoelectric ceramic material directly affects the performance of the piezoelectric transducer.

[0028] It is found that the ferroelectric lead titanate (PbTiO3) and the antiferroelectric lead zirconate (PbZrO3) can form a continuous solid solution lead zirconate titanate piezoelectric ceramic (PZT), which has excellent piezoelectric properties near the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) composition. It soon replaced BaTiO3 piezoelectric ceramic and became the most widely used piezoelectric material. In recent years, with the further expansion of the application range of piezoelectric materials, new challenges have been put forward for the service performance of piezoelectric ceramics in some extreme environments. For example, high-power piezoelectric transducers for ultrasonic dental cleaning must select piezoelectric materials with high Curie point, so that the piezoelectric device can work normally in a wider temperature range.

[0029] The ultrasonic dental piezoelectric transducer on the market mostly uses traditional PZT piezoelectric ceramic. Although the PZT piezoelectric ceramic has the advantages of high piezoelectric coefficient, stable performance and high mechanical strength, its Curie temperature Tc is about 360℃, so the safe use temperature is only below 180℃. If the service temperature of the piezoelectric ceramic exceeds 1 / 2Tc, serious depolarization of the piezoelectric ceramic will be caused, resulting in degradation or even loss of piezoelectric performance. According to the structural characteristics of bismuth layer-structured oxide, it is formed by regularly alternating arrangement of perovskite layers with ABO3 structure and bismuth-containing (Bi2O2) layers along the c-axis direction of the bismuth layer-structured oxide. 2+ In the process of technical development, the inventors found that when La 3+ coordination ions are used at the A site and Fe 3+ , W 6+ coordination ions are used at the B site, the chemical general formula of the composition is LaBi2FeWO9, at this time, the tolerance factor t has a smaller value, and the tolerance factor t is calculated by the following formula:

[0030]

[0031] In the formula, rA, rB and rO are the radii of A site, B site and O ions respectively, the smaller the tolerance factor t is, the higher the Curie temperature of the bismuth layer-structured oxide is. Meanwhile, it also has the following main characteristics: strong spontaneous polarization, low dielectric constant, low aging rate, good time and temperature stability of resonant frequency, high mechanical quality factor and easy sintering. However, due to the high coercive field of the bismuth layer-structured oxide, it is not conducive to polarization, so it is usually necessary to control the thickness of the bismuth layer-structured oxide to be in millimeter or even micrometer level. Therefore, the new type of the present application is prepared by powder injection molding technology. Powder injection molding is a near-net-shaping method, especially in the preparation of thin-walled and complex structural parts, it has incomparable advantages over traditional processes. It mixes the high molecular binder with PZT and LaBi2FeWO9 ceramic powder respectively to obtain the feedstock, then alternately injects the two kinds of feedstock into the mold to obtain a specific shape of the blank, and finally carries out debinding and sintering, so as to prepare a composite piezoelectric ceramic part with high Curie temperature and high piezoelectric coefficient. It has the characteristics of simple process, high production efficiency, low cost and easy batch production.

[0032] The vibration amplitude of the piezoelectric transducer is usually only a few microns, which cannot meet the needs of ultrasonic dental surgery. Therefore, a horn needs to be installed in front of the transducer, and mechanical energy is transmitted to the horn through the front cover plate, and then the interface changes to make the ultrasonic energy gather, so as to amplify the amplitude of the output end. During dental treatment, if the horn has a larger output amplitude, the output amplitude of the working tip is also larger under the same conditions, which is convenient for better cleaning of dental calculus and obtaining better clinical effect. Therefore, higher output amplitude is considered as a key performance indicator of the horn.

[0033] To improve the output amplitude of the amplitude transformer, this invention addresses both material preparation and structural design. Regarding material preparation, firstly, ingots are obtained using a vacuum arc furnace melting method according to the composition requirements of TC4 or TC11, ensuring uniform distribution of alloying elements within the electrodes while avoiding the introduction of high-density and low-density inclusions during melting. Then, the microstructure is refined through forging and drawing processes. Through extensive experimentation, the plastic deformation process parameters for forging and drawing have been determined. Under these parameters, a fine and uniform titanium alloy microstructure (3–6 μm in size) can be obtained, while controlling the volume fraction of the β phase at 20%–30%, effectively reducing the elastic modulus and contributing to increased amplitude. After plastic deformation, the titanium alloy retains internal stresses that are in self-equilibrium, also known as residual stresses, after the removal of external forces or uneven temperature fields. These residual stresses increase the acoustic impedance of the titanium alloy, which is detrimental to improving the amplitude of the amplitude transformer. Therefore, this invention utilizes cryogenic processing to generate thermal stress opposite to the residual stress through rapid cooling, thereby offsetting the original stress field and significantly reducing residual stress to lower the material's acoustic impedance. In terms of structural design, a single-shaped stepped amplitude transformer typically fails to meet the requirements of high amplitude and low stress. Therefore, this invention employs a composite amplitude transformer composed of combinations of single shapes to improve output performance. Assuming the amplitude transformer material is homogeneous and isotropic, and neglecting mechanical losses and damped vibrations, the plane longitudinal wave propagates along the axis of the transformer. The vibration equation of the amplitude transformer in one dimension is:

[0034]

[0035] In the formula: ξ=ξ(x) is the particle displacement function; k=ω / c, k is the wave number. Let ω be the propagation velocity of the longitudinal wave in the material, E be the elastic modulus of the material, and ρ be the density of the material; S = S(x) is the cross-sectional area at any position x on the axis.

[0036] for Figure 1 The conical composite amplitude transformer shown is given with l1 = l3. According to formula (1), the displacement distribution function of each segment of the transformer can be obtained:

[0037] ξ Ι =ξ1cos(kx+kl1)

[0038]

[0039] ξ Ⅲ =α3ξ1cos[kx-(kl2+kl3)]

[0040] In the formula: xi, xi, xi are the displacement distribution functions of the particles of each section of the rod; xi, xi are the displacements of the large and small end faces of the amplitude-varying rod; l1, l2, l3 are the lengths of each section of the amplitude-varying rod; alpha=(N-1) / Nl2 is the taper coefficient; N=S1 / S2 is the area ratio; S1, S2 are the areas of the large and small end faces of the conical rod.

[0041] The displacement node is calculated as:

[0042] The magnification is: M=|N[cos(kl2)-tanAsin(kl2)]|

[0043] The inventor finds that when A is 0.005-0.01, M has a larger value.

[0044] In the dental cleaning operation, the working tip is easy to paste substances including coagulant, protein, blood, tissue particles and other component fluids, and the accumulation of these substances increases the impedance of the working tip and reduces the cutting performance. In order to improve the thermal conductivity and hydrophobicity of the working tip to achieve the purpose of anti-adhesion, the working tip is introduced into the high-thermal-conductivity anti-adhesion structure. Firstly, a micron-level cylindrical array structure is machined by micro electrical discharge, and the micron-level hierarchical microstructure can stably adsorb an air film, effectively hinders the infiltration of substances on the surface, so that the surface has super-hydrophobic performance. Then, a layer of diamond and silver with high thermal conductivity value is deposited on the surface of the substrate, which is beneficial to improve the thermal conductivity of the coating. The deposition is realized by ion sputtering technology. Under the action of the magnetic field, the electrons change the Ar atoms into Ar ions. The Ar ions bombard the target under the action of the electric field, and the sputtered atoms form a film on the surface of the substrate, improving the heat dissipation performance of the working tip and effectively reducing the adhesion of high temperature to the tissue.

[0045] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present application are as follows:

[0046] 1) High output power. The use of PZT piezoelectric ceramic with high piezoelectric constant and high amplitude titanium alloy amplitude-varying rod material and structure size ensures that the ultrasonic vibration system has high output power;

[0047] 2) High stability. The use of LaBi2FeWO9 with high Curie temperature and high-thermal-conductivity anti-adhesion structure greatly improves the service temperature of the ceramic, effectively reduces the adhesion to the tissue, and improves the stability of the ultrasonic vibration system;

[0048] 3) Simple structure design. The piezoelectric transducer and the amplitude-varying rod are mainly in cylindrical structure without special shape structure.

[0049] In summary, this invention, by introducing high Curie temperature ceramic materials, a conical composite amplitude transformer, and a high thermal conductivity anti-adhesion structure, and by combining powder injection molding technology, plastic deformation technology, and ion sputtering technology, has broken through the manufacturing technology of ultrasonic scaling vibration systems. It features high output power, good stability, and simple structural design, and can well meet the needs of ultrasonic scaling equipment. Attached Figure Description
