Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of orthodontic bracket cleaning, and more specifically, to an orthodontic bracket cleaning device. Background Technique

[0002] During the process of tooth correction, orthodontic brackets are often used. There are many types of orthodontic brackets. Among them, the most common ones are metal brackets and ceramic brackets. Tooth brackets are important components of fixed orthodontic technology and are directly bonded to the tooth crown surface with an adhesive. However, in some patients, due to various factors, the orthodontic brackets may fall off when wearing them. When medical staff reinstall the fallen orthodontic brackets, they need to use a sandblaster to remove the adhesive on the surface of the orthodontic brackets. Therefore, to solve these problems, we propose an orthodontic bracket cleaning device to solve the problems.

[0003] The patent document with the publication number of CN219005736U in the prior art provides an orthodontic bracket sandblasting fixing box and an orthodontic bracket cleaning device. The orthodontic bracket sandblasting fixing box and the orthodontic bracket cleaning device clamp and fix the orthodontic bracket through the cooperation of the first clamping member and the second clamping member, and then medical staff use a bracket sandblasting gun to clean the adhesive on the surface of the orthodontic bracket from the operation position.

[0004] Although the orthodontic bracket sandblasting fixing box and the orthodontic bracket cleaning device have many beneficial effects, there are still the following problems: The orthodontic bracket sandblasting fixing box and the orthodontic bracket cleaning device clamp and fix the orthodontic bracket through the cooperation of the first clamping member and the second clamping member, and then medical staff use a bracket sandblasting gun to clean the adhesive on the surface of the orthodontic bracket from the operation position. However, after the device cleans the adhesive, it cannot rinse the bracket, and the cleaning effect of the device is poor and needs to be improved. Secondly, for the orthodontic bracket sandblasting fixing box and the orthodontic bracket cleaning device, when there are fine sand particles remaining on the bracket that need to be rinsed, the device cannot quickly dry the water droplets on the surface of the bracket after rinsing, and the drying effect of the device is poor. Therefore, an orthodontic bracket cleaning device is proposed for the above problems. Content of the Utility Model

For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific situations.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1-5 The present utility model provides a technical solution:

[0031] An orthodontic bracket cleaning device, the frame assembly 1 includes a frame 110, a support plate 120 is installed below the frame 110, a placement plate 160 is installed above the support plate 120, a fixing plate 170 is installed above the placement plate 160, a spring 180 is installed on the side wall of the fixing plate 170, and a clamping plate 190 is installed at the end of the spring 180. The placement plate 160 can place brackets, and then the brackets are fixed between a plurality of clamping plates 190 by using the fixing plate 170, the spring 180 and the clamping plate 190.

[0032] The cleaning assembly 2 includes a cleaning tank frame 210 installed above the support plate 120. A fishing net 220 is installed on the inner wall of the cleaning tank frame 210, and a fishing net handle 230 is installed above the cleaning tank frame 210. An ultrasonic generator 240 is installed below the support plate 120. Cleaning agent can be added into the cleaning tank frame 210. The fishing net 220 can place brackets. Then, the ultrasonic generator 240 generates ultrasonic waves. Due to the radiation of the ultrasonic waves, the microbubbles in the cleaning agent in the cleaning tank frame 210 can vibrate under the action of the sound waves, so as to keep vibrating and clean the brackets. The fishing net handle 230 can pick up the fishing net 220. The fishing net handle 230 is connected to the fishing net 220. The ultrasonic generator 240 internally is provided with an oscillator, an amplifier and a transducer. When working, after a high-frequency signal is generated by the oscillator, it enters the amplifier for power amplification, and then enters the transducer. In the transducer, when the high-frequency signal acts on the piezoelectric ceramic transducer, through the piezoelectric effect, the ceramic sheet vibrates and converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. The vibration of the transducer generates an ultrasonic signal, and this signal is transmitted to the surrounding medium, realizing the generation of ultrasonic waves. This part is the prior art and will not be elaborated.

[0033] The drying assembly 3 includes a drying box 310 installed above the support plate 120. A box cover 350 is installed above the drying box 310, and a dryer 320 is installed on the side wall of the drying box 310. After the cleaning is completed, use the handle 230 to pick up the fishing net 220 and the brackets in the fishing net 220, put the fishing net 220 into the drying box 310, cover the box cover 350, and use the dryer 320 to quickly dry the brackets in the fishing net 220, saving manual wiping.

[0034] Specifically, a connecting frame 130 is installed below the support plate 120, and a fixed bottom plate 140 is installed below the connecting frame 130. The connecting frame 130 can connect the support plate 120 and the fixed bottom plate 140, and the fixed bottom plate 140 can fix the upper device.

[0035] Further, a welding connection block 250 is not welded to the end of the fishing net handle 230. A cleaning tank 260 is provided on the inner wall of the cleaning tank frame 210. The connection block 250 can firmly fix the fishing net 220 and the fishing net handle 230.

[0036] It should be noted that a handle placement opening 330 is provided above the box cover 350, and a glass observation opening 340 is installed above the box cover 350. The handle placement opening 330 can place the handle 230, and the glass observation opening 340 can view the state of the inner support groove of the drying box 310.

[0037] It should be noted that a glass cover 150 is installed above the frame 110, and an operation opening 191 is provided above the glass cover 150. The inside of the frame 110 can be clearly seen through the glass cover 150, and then the adhesive on the surface of the support groove is cleaned from the operation opening 191 using a support groove sandblasting gun.

[0038] In addition, the accessory materials and modules involved in the present utility model are all prior arts, which can be fully realized by those skilled in the art without further elaboration. The content protected by the present utility model does not involve improvements to the internal structure and method either.

[0039] The models of the devices or equipment involved in this article are as follows:

[0040] The model of the ultrasonic generator 240 is: THD-T6S;

[0041] The model of the dryer 310 is: ZW228.

[0042] Working principle: Before use, place the support groove on the placement plate 160, and then use the fixing plate 170 in cooperation with the spring 180 and the clamping plate 190 to fix the support groove between multiple clamping plates 190. Then cover the glass cover 150. Medical staff use a support groove sandblasting gun to clean the adhesive on the surface of the support groove in the frame 110 from the operation opening 191. Then add the cleaning agent into the cleaning tank 260, then put the support groove into the fishing net 220, and then use the fishing net handle 230 to put the fishing net 220 into the cleaning tank 260. Then the ultrasonic generator 240 generates ultrasonic waves. Due to being irradiated by the ultrasonic waves, the microbubbles in the cleaning agent of the cleaning tank frame 210 can vibrate under the action of the sound waves to clean the support groove. After cleaning, use the fishing net handle 230 to pick up the fishing net 220, put the fishing net 220 into the drying box 310, then cover the box cover 350, and then use the dryer 320 to dry the support groove in the fishing net 220.
