Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of denture processing, and in particular to a denture rotary silo. Background Art
[0002] Dentures are what people commonly call "false teeth", just like "false legs" and "false limbs" are called "prosthetic limbs". "Dentures" mean teeth that fulfill their "duties" for humans. In medicine, it is a general term for restorations made after partial or complete loss of upper and lower teeth.
[0003] Commonly used denture blocks include zirconia blocks and zirconia discs, which are stored in separate areas on the silo. In the processing and production of denture blocks, the silo for denture blocks is an important component. The denture rotary silo needs to be designed according to the physical and chemical properties of the denture blocks. On the premise of meeting the process requirements, the convenience, efficiency, economy and safety of loading and unloading should be improved as much as possible. Due to the different physical and chemical properties of denture blocks, the design of denture silos is diverse. Especially after the introduction of automated production processes and technologies, the traditional manual loading method has been replaced by robots (robotic arms), which greatly improves efficiency and saves labor. At the same time, it also puts higher requirements on the design of denture silos.
[0004] Although the denture silo in the related technology has realized functions such as zoning and stratification, semi-automatic unloading, etc., it cannot rotate. The number of robot picking points is as high as hundreds. The robot needs to move back and forth on the seventh axis-linear guide rail to reach the picking position, resulting in deviation in the picking accuracy and low picking efficiency.

[0013] In a possible implementation, the drive motor is transmission-connected to the rotating shaft via a gear set to realize the rotation of the material rack.
[0014] In a possible implementation, safety gratings are provided on the loading port and the unloading port to prevent external foreign matter from entering.

The prosthesis rotary silo comprises: a cylindrical shell 1 with a hollow interior, a loading port 11 and a unloading port 12 opened on the side wall of the shell 1, a material rack 2 rotatably arranged in the shell 1, and a driving motor 3 connected to the material rack 2; wherein the material rack 2 comprises a rotating shaft 21 vertically arranged in the shell 1, and multiple groups of block material turntables 22 and multiple groups of disc material turntables 23 evenly spaced and sleeved on the rotating shaft 21, and both ends of the rotating shaft 21 are rotatably connected to the shell 1 through bearings; multiple groups of inclined chute 24 are evenly spaced along the center of the block material turntable 22, and multiple groups of zirconia block materials 4 are slidably arranged on the chute 24 through a first clamping member 41; multiple groups of zirconia disc materials 5 are evenly spaced along the center of the disc material turntable 23, and the zirconia disc materials 5 are quickly connected to the disc material turntable 23 through a second clamping member 51.
[0033] In the embodiment of the present application, the rotating shaft 21 is coaxial with the housing 1 , that is, the central axes of the two coincide.
[0034] In the embodiment of the present application, the loading port 11 and the unloading port 12 are opposite to each other, and the loading port 11 is provided with a start / stop button 13 and an emergency stop button 14. In addition, safety gratings 15 are provided on the loading port 11 and the unloading port 12 to prevent foreign matter from entering and affecting the normal operation of the silo.
[0035] In the embodiment of the present application, the driving motor 3 is connected to the rotating shaft 21 through a gear set to realize the rotation of the material rack 2.
[0036] In the embodiment of the present application, the number and layout of the block material turntable 22 and the disk material turntable 23 sleeved on the rotating shaft 21 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual working conditions.
[0037] In detail, Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the coordination of the zirconia block, slide groove and tilt bracket of a denture rotary silo provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown, the slide groove 24 is tilted by the tilt bracket 25, the slide groove 24 is placed on the tilt bracket 25, the first end of the slide groove 24 is higher than the second end, the first end of the slide groove 24 is the end close to the rotating shaft 21, and the second end of the slide groove 24 is the end close to the side wall of the shell 1.
[0038] As a supplementary explanation, one end of the tilt bracket 25 close to the side wall of the shell 1 has a blocking piece 26 for limiting the slide groove 24, and one end of the slide groove 24 close to the side wall of the shell 1 has a blocking rod 27 for limiting the zirconia block 4.
[0039] In the embodiment of the present application, the inclined setting of the slide 24 can enable the zirconia block 4 to slide down by gravity to one end of the slide 24 close to the side wall of the shell 1, making it easier for an external robot to pick up the material.
[0040] Further, Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the matching of a slideway of a rotary silo of a denture and a zirconia block provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown, and a first clamping member 41 is detachably connected to the zirconia block 4.
[0041] Optionally, the detachable connection method between the first clamping member 41 and the zirconia block 4 includes but is not limited to bolt connection or bonding.
[0042] In the embodiment of the present application, the first clamping member 41 has the functions of helping the zirconia block 4 to slide in the chute 24 and facilitating grasping by an external robot.
[0043] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the coordination of a turntable for a denture rotary silo and zirconium oxide disks provided in an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown, wherein the second clamping member 51 is detachably connected to the zirconium oxide disk 5, a positioning pin is provided on the disk turntable 23, and a pin hole is provided on the second clamping member 51, the positioning pin and the pin hole are quickly connected, and the bottom of the second clamping member 51 corresponding to each group of zirconium oxide disks 5 has at least two groups of pin holes for connecting with the positioning pins on the disk turntable 23.
[0044] Optionally, the detachable connection method between the second clamping member 51 and the zirconia disk material 5 includes but is not limited to bolt connection or bonding.

[0046] Next, combine Figures 1 to 5 The working principle of the denture rotating silo involved in the embodiments of the present application is explained.
[0047] First, the loading operator starts loading from the loading port 11, and puts the zirconia blocks 4 and zirconia discs 5 of different categories, models or specifications onto the corresponding block turntable 22 and disc turntable 23. Since the chute 24 is clamped and placed on the inclined bracket 25, each set of chute 24 can be taken out as a whole to place the zirconia blocks 4, and the zirconia discs 5 are directly quickly inserted into the disc turntable 23 through the second clamping piece 51;
[0048] Secondly, after the loading is completed, the loading operator can start unloading by pressing the start-stop button 13 at the loading port 11. In case of emergency during the unloading process, the emergency stop button 14 can be used to stop the silo from working urgently;
[0049] Finally, the external unloading robot grabs the zirconia block material 4 or the zirconia disc material 5 from different block material turntables 22 and disc material turntables 23 according to the material requirements of the processing production, and sends them to the CNC processing machine for subsequent processing. The external unloading robot grabs the first clamping part 41 and the second clamping part 51 corresponding to the zirconia block material 4 and the zirconia disc material 5.
[0050] In this case, only one material picking point is needed for each layer of the silo, which greatly shortens the debugging and alignment time. The robot does not need the seventh axis - linear guide rail, and the robot can be fixed on one side of the material discharge port, which effectively ensures the material picking accuracy and improves the material picking efficiency.
[0051] In the embodiments disclosed in the present application, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", "fixed" and the like should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; "connected" can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments disclosed in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0052] The above is only a preferred implementation of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present application. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present application.
