[0016] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0017] As Figures 1-4 shown, the embodiments of the present utility model include:
[0018] A Z-axis main head of a dental brace machine, comprising a back plate 1, a servo lead screw linear module 2, a z-axis slide 3, a servo main shaft 4, a dental brace bit 5, a telescopic slide cylinder 6, a first adapter plate 7, a pneumatic gripper 8, a clamping block 9, and a material cavity 10. A z-axis slide 3 pulled by a servo lead screw linear module 2 is arranged on the back plate 1. A vertically downwardly arranged servo main shaft 4 is arranged on the z-axis slide 3. A dental brace bit 5 is installed at the lower end of the servo main shaft 4. A telescopic slide cylinder 6 for guiding the dental brace bit 5 is horizontally arranged on the back plate 1. The telescopic slide cylinder 6 is horizontally connected to a pneumatic gripper 8 via a first adapter plate 7. A pair of clamping blocks 9 are arranged at the front end of the pneumatic gripper 8. A material cavity 10 that is timely coaxially matched with the dental brace bit 5 is opened at the middle seam of the clamping blocks 9.
[0019] Wherein, the telescopic slide cylinder 6 is mounted on a z-axis linear guide 12 via a second adapter plate 11. A lifting cylinder 13 is suspended on the back plate 1. A connecting rod 14 is connected to the lower end of the lifting cylinder 13. The connecting rod 14 is connected to the second adapter plate 11.
[0020] Furthermore, the lower end of the connecting rod 14 is coaxially connected to a second cylinder 15 fixed on the second adapter plate 11.
[0021] Furthermore, a dental brace feeding tube 16 is externally hung on the second adapter plate 11. The dental brace feeding tube 16 is vertically downwardly matched with the material cavity 10.
[0022] Furthermore, a second linear guide 17 is arranged on the back plate 1 along the z-axis direction. A pressing block 18 connected to the servo lead screw linear module 2 is arranged on the second linear guide 17. A buffer cylinder 19 is externally hung on the z-axis slide 3. The buffer cylinder 19 is connected to the pressing block 18.
[0023] Furthermore, a displacement sensor 20 is arranged on the pressing block 18. A displacement induction piece 21 matched with the displacement sensor 20 is externally hung on the z-axis slide 3.
[0024] As Figure 3 shown is the feeding process of the dental brace. The dental brace feeding tube 16 blows the dental braces from an external device. The blown dental braces will fall into the material cavity 10 on the clamping block 9 as Figure 4 shown, and the pneumatic gripper 8 clamps the dental braces. As Figure 4 shown, the telescopic slide cylinder 6 horizontally pushes out the first adapter plate 7. At this time, the dental brace bit 5 runs to directly above the material cavity 10 to prepare for receiving the material. As Figure 1 shown, the servo main shaft 4 drives the dental brace bit 5 to rotate self. The thread on the dental brace bit 5 is meshed and connected with the internal thread of the dental brace, so that the material (dental brace) is successfully picked up. Then the pneumatic gripper 8 releases the dental brace, and the telescopic slide cylinder 6 resets and retracts. As Figure 1As shown, after the dental appliance and the z-axis main head to be integrated on the backplane 1 move to the target position, the servo screw linear module 2 pushes the dental appliance bit 5 downward to the threaded mounting hole, and then the servo spindle 4 drives the taken dental appliance into the threaded mounting hole.
[0025] Among them, to solve the possible overload problem during the working process, a buffer cylinder 19 is set to absorb stress, and a displacement sensor 20 is used to collect the downward compression amount, so as to accurately control the servo spindle 4 to adjust the output torque in a timely manner, and then accurately control the locking accuracy of the dental appliance.
[0026] In addition, to solve the overload problem during the process of taking the dental appliance from the material cavity 10 by the dental appliance bit 5, a lifting cylinder 13 is set to control the material height, and a second cylinder 15 is used to suppress the up-and-down shaking phenomenon during the process of taking the dental appliance, so as to improve the stability and reliability of the process of taking the dental appliance.
[0027] To sum up, the present utility model provides a z-axis main head of a dental appliance machine, in which a dental appliance feeding pipe 16 is integrated on the backplane 1, a clamping block 9 is matched at the mouth of the dental appliance feeding pipe 16, and the dental appliance is coaxially aligned with the dental appliance bit 5 in a pneumatic manner, so as to replace the feeding and moving operation, and fully improve the working efficiency.
[0028] The above are only the embodiments of the present utility model, and do not limit the patent scope of the present utility model accordingly. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the content of the specification of the present utility model, or directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, shall be equally included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
