DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0020] In the description of the present invention, it is necessary to understand that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0021] Example: Refer to Figure 1-Figure 9 A dental floss durability testing device comprises a base 1, and also comprises: a first test arm 3 and a second test arm 4 arranged at both ends of the base 1; a test slider 6, which is arranged on the first test arm 3, and the test slider 6 is in contact with one end of the second test arm 4 away from the first hinge seat 2; the top of the test slider 6 and the second test arm 4 are both provided with a first inclined surface 18; the top of the test slider 6 and the second test arm 4 are both provided with a second inclined surface 19; a driving frame, which is connected to the base 1, and a clamping assembly is arranged on the driving frame for lifting and lowering, and the dental floss stick is fixed on the clamping assembly, and the clamping assembly drives the dental floss stick to rise and fall; in the process of lifting and lowering the dental floss stick, the dental floss is inserted between the first test arm 3 and the second test arm 4 through the first inclined surface 18 and the second inclined surface 19 to simulate the dental floss shuttling between teeth.

[0022] In this embodiment, the dental floss stick is fixed by a clamping assembly, and then the dental floss stick is driven to rise and fall reciprocally. During this process, the dental floss is driven to reciprocate through the fitting portion of the test slider 6 and the second test arm 4. During this process, the dental floss pushes the test slider 6 and the second test arm 4, so that the test slider 6 and the second test arm 4 are reciprocatedly separated and merged, thereby simulating the dental floss passing through the gap between two groups of adjacent teeth. By simulating the shuttling and stress of the dental floss between the teeth, the testing device can evaluate the wear resistance, breaking strength and overall durability of the dental floss, making the evaluation of the durability of the dental floss more efficient and reliable. Reference Fig. 9 In order to facilitate the rapid reset of the test slider 6 and the second test arm 4 after the reciprocating movement, and to maintain the resistance when the dental floss passes through, the first test arm 3 and the second test arm 4 are fixedly connected to the base 1, and the first test arm 3 and the second test arm 4 are made of elastic metal, and the elastic metal is copper alloy, zinc alloy, etc. The elastic metal has excellent elasticity and recovery performance. When the dental floss passes through the gap between the test slider 6 and the second test arm 4, they will be deformed to a certain extent due to the thrust of the dental floss. Once the dental floss passes through, the characteristics of the elastic metal will make them quickly return to their original shape, thereby achieving rapid reset. The hardness of the elastic metal is moderate, and it can provide a certain resistance when the dental floss shuttles. This resistance helps to simulate the friction environment in the real tooth gap, so as to more accurately evaluate the durability of the dental floss. Reference Figure 1 In order to facilitate the rapid reset of the test slider 6 and the second test arm 4 after the reciprocating movement and maintain the resistance when the dental floss passes through, it can also be as follows: the first hinge seats 2 are fixedly installed at both ends of the base 1, the first test arm 3 and the second test arm 4 are rotatably connected to the two groups of first hinge seats 2 respectively, and a tension spring 5 is fixedly installed on the first test arm 3, and the end of the tension spring 5 away from the first test arm 3 is fixedly connected to the second test arm 4. When the dental floss passes through the gap between the test slider 6 and the second test arm 4, they will swing relative to each other due to the thrust of the dental floss. At this time, the tension spring 5 will be stretched to store elastic potential energy; once the dental floss passes through, the tension spring 5 will release the stored elastic potential energy, pushing the first test arm 3 and the second test arm 4 to quickly return to their original positions, thereby achieving rapid reset. Due to the presence of the tension spring 5, when the dental floss passes through the test area, the contact between the test slider 6 and the second test arm 4 will generate a certain resistance, which helps to simulate the friction environment in the real tooth gap, thereby more accurately evaluating the durability of the dental floss.

[0023] Reference Figure 2-Figure 5 The driving frame includes a second mounting plate 20 fixedly connected to the base 1, a limiting rod 21 is fixedly installed on the second mounting plate 20, a third mounting plate 22 is fixedly installed on the top of the limiting rod 21, a first motor 23 is fixedly installed on the third mounting plate 22, an eccentric wheel 24 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the first motor 23, a force detection component is rotatably connected to the eccentric wheel 24, and the force detection component is slidably arranged on the limiting rod 21; the force detection component includes: a fourth mounting plate 26 slidably mounted on the limiting rod 21, a second hinge seat 27 is fixedly mounted on the fourth mounting plate 26, and the second hinge seat 27 is rotatably connected to the crank 25; a mounting column 28 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fourth mounting plate 26, a second mounting frame 36 is slidably mounted on the mounting column 28, a first mounting frame 32 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the second mounting frame 36, and a clamping component is arranged on the first mounting frame 32 ; The mounting column 28 extends to one end inside the second mounting frame 36 and is fixedly mounted with a limit plate 30; a first annular pressure sensor 29 is sleeved on the mounting column 28, and the upper and lower ends of the first annular pressure sensor 29 respectively conflict with the limit plate 30 and the top inner part of the second mounting frame 36; a second annular pressure sensor 31 is arranged in the second mounting frame 36, and the two ends of the second annular pressure sensor 31 conflict with the top of the first mounting frame 32 and the bottom of the limit plate 30; the clamping assembly includes a second motor 39 and a slide rod 33 fixedly mounted on the first mounting frame 32, and two groups of symmetrically arranged clamping blocks 34 are slidably connected to the slide rod 33, and a symmetrical threaded screw 35 is rotatably mounted on the first mounting frame 32, and the two groups of clamping blocks 34 are respectively engaged with two groups of threads with opposite spiral directions on the symmetrical threaded screw rod 35, and the symmetrical threaded screw rod 35 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 39.

[0024] like Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the second motor 39 is started or the adjusting handle fixed on the symmetrical threaded screw 35 is rotated to drive the symmetrical threaded screw 35 to rotate, and cooperates with the slide bar 33 to drive the two sets of clamping blocks 34 to move synchronously toward the center of the symmetrical threaded screw 35 to clamp and fix the dental floss stick, or drive the two sets of clamping blocks 34 to move synchronously toward the two ends of the symmetrical threaded screw 35 to loosen the dental floss stick; like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the first motor 23 is started, the first motor 23 drives the eccentric wheel 24 to rotate, the eccentric wheel 24 drives the fourth mounting plate 26 to reciprocate and rise and fall through the crank 25 and the second hinge seat 27, the fourth mounting plate 26 drives the limit plate 30 to reciprocate and rise and fall through the mounting column 28, and the limit plate 30 drives the second mounting frame 36 and the first mounting frame 32 to reciprocate and rise and fall through the first annular pressure sensor 29 and the second annular pressure sensor 31; like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, while the first mounting frame 32 is reciprocatingly lifted and lowered, the clamping assembly is driven to be reciprocated and lifted, thereby driving the dental floss stick to be reciprocated and lifted, and driving the dental floss to slide back and forth between the test slider 6 and the second test arm 4 .

[0025] During the test, when the dental floss stick moves upward, the second annular pressure sensor 31 detects the force exerted on the dental floss as it rises, and when the dental floss moves downward, the first annular pressure sensor 29 detects the resistance exerted on the dental floss as it moves downward. In addition, the detected data is transmitted to the display host.

[0026] In summary, the first annular pressure sensor 29 and the second annular pressure sensor 31 are used to measure the force and resistance of the dental floss during the rising and falling processes, respectively. This design can accurately capture the interaction force between the dental floss and the test slider 6 and the second test arm 4 in real time, providing reliable data support for evaluating the durability of the dental floss.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 6, the test slider 6 is slidably connected to the cross arm of the first test arm 3, the vertical arm of the first test arm 3 is slidably connected to the limit slider 8 and fixedly connected to the first mounting plate 7, the limit slider 8 is fixedly connected to the driving arm 9, and the driving arm 9 is fixedly installed with a pressing plate 11, and also includes a spring 12, the upper and lower ends of the spring 12 are respectively fixedly connected to the pressing plate 11 and the first mounting plate 7; the second test arm 4 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 13, the top of the rotating shaft 13 is fixedly installed with a spline shaft 14, the spline shaft 14 is slidably connected with a spline sleeve 15, the second test arm 4 is provided with a second card groove that engages with the spline sleeve 15, the bottom of the rotating shaft 13 is fixedly installed with a card plate 38, and the vertical arm of the driving arm 9 is provided with a first card groove 10 that engages with the card plate 38; the rotating shaft 13 is fixedly installed with a test block 16, the test block 16 is provided with a third inclined surface 37, and the bottom of the test block 16 close to the third inclined surface 37 is provided with a wire clamping groove 17.

[0028] In this embodiment, the spline sleeve 15 is moved out of the second slot, and then the spline sleeve 15 is rotated. The spline sleeve 15 drives the rotating shaft 13 to rotate through the spline shaft 14, and the rotating shaft 13 drives the clamping plate 38 and the test block 16 to rotate 180 degrees, so that the clamping plate 38 is separated from the first slot 10, and the other end surface of the test block 16 is attached to the test slider 6; In addition to the above modes, the device also adds two dental floss testing methods: Test method 1: Move the dental floss to the middle part of the test slider 6, drive the test slider 6 to rise and fall back and forth, and then reciprocately press the pressing plate 11. When the pressing plate 11 descends, the spring 12 contracts. When the pressing plate 11 is released, the spring 12 rebounds, so that the driving arm 9 rises and falls back and forth. The driving arm 9 drives the test slider 6 to rise and fall back and forth. The friction between the driving test slider 6 and the end surface of the second test arm 4 is used to rub the dental floss and twist the dental floss, so as to test the torsional strength of the dental floss. Test method 2: Move the dental floss to the bottom of the test block 16. After the dental floss moves to the bottom of the test block 16, the test slider 6 is attached to the test block 16, and then the dental floss is driven to rise. When the dental floss rises, it slides into the wire clamping groove 17 through the inclined surface at the bottom of the test block 16, and drives the dental floss stick to continue to rise until the dental floss breaks, so as to test the tensile strength of the dental floss.

[0029] In summary, the device integrates multiple testing modes, including simulating the movement of dental floss between teeth and evaluating the torsional strength and tensile strength of dental floss, allowing researchers to comprehensively evaluate the durability of dental floss and meet different testing needs.

[0030] By providing the first annular pressure sensor 29 and the second annular pressure sensor 31, the force and resistance exerted on the dental floss during its ascent and descent can be measured in real time and accurately, providing reliable data support for evaluating the durability of the dental floss.

[0031] The motor drive and clamping component design realizes the automatic lifting and fixing of the dental floss stick, which greatly simplifies the test process and improves the test efficiency. At the same time, the design of the test slider 6 and the test block 16 makes the test process more convenient and easy to operate.

[0032] By means of the test arm or tension spring 5 made of elastic metal, the device can simulate the friction environment in the real tooth gap and the stress condition of the dental floss. Such simulation helps to more accurately evaluate the durability of the dental floss and improve the reliability of the test.

[0033] The clamping assembly adopts a symmetrical threaded screw 35 and a clamping block 34 design, which can be adjusted according to different sizes of dental floss sticks to ensure the accuracy and applicability of the test. The device can transmit the detected data to the display host to facilitate researchers to record and analyze data. This data recording and analysis function helps researchers to have a deeper understanding of the durability of dental floss and provide strong support for product improvement and optimization.

[0034] In summary, the dental floss durability testing device has the advantages of versatility, high-precision measurement, automation and convenience, simulation of real environment, adjustability, and data recording and analysis, providing a comprehensive, accurate and reliable testing method for evaluating the durability of dental floss.
