Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of braces repair, and in particular to a device for restoring the mechanical properties of braces. Background Art
[0002] Currently, in the existing technical field of braces-based restorative devices, as people pay more and more attention to oral health and dental aesthetics, the use of braces has become increasingly common. Braces are mainly used to align teeth to a proper occlusal position to improve various dentition defects such as malocclusion and uneven teeth. Their purpose includes both cosmetic and tooth structure adjustments.
[0003] Compared with traditional orthodontic appliances for malocclusion, invisible braces technology does not require brackets and wires. Instead, it uses a series of invisible braces made of safe, elastic, transparent polymer materials. The treatment principle is that when wearing invisible braces, the invisible braces undergo a certain elastic deformation. During the recovery process of the elastic deformation, a force is generated on the teeth to push the teeth to move, thereby achieving the purpose of correction.
[0004] After searching, it was found that the Chinese invention patent with application publication number CN111956346A discloses a repair device for braces. The device uses a heating system to quickly evaporate the alcohol on the braces and uses ultraviolet light to disinfect them, thereby achieving efficient drying and secondary disinfection of the braces. This solves the problem that traditional repair devices cannot quickly dry braces and improves the user experience. However, this patent cannot solve the problem that in the actual use of invisible braces, as time goes by and the number of uses increases, the braces material will fatigue, which will cause the braces to deform and the correction effect will not meet expectations. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defects in the prior art, and to achieve a more effective braces repair effect by simultaneously clamping the inside and outside of the braces and then squeezing the deformed part of the braces from the inside to reset them.
[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution of the utility model is a braces mechanical properties recovery device, comprising:
[0007] Device base;

[0010] The braces between the labial side thrust bow and the lingual side thrust surface are squeezed and deformed by moving the lingual side thrust surface and / or the labial side thrust bow.
[0011] Furthermore, a braces placement area is provided on the device base, and the braces between the labial side thrust arch and the lingual side thrust surface are placed on the braces placement area.
[0012] Furthermore, a soft cushion layer is provided on the labial side thrust arch and / or the lingual side thrust surface and / or the braces placement area at the position in contact with the braces.
[0013] Furthermore, a lingual thrust base surface is provided on the base of the device, and the lingual thrust base surface is higher than the braces placement area and forms a step, and the step is suitable for limiting the inner side of the braces.
[0014] Furthermore, the braces placement area is provided with a plurality of ventilation and sterilization ports for external ventilation and sterilization equipment.
[0015] Furthermore, a fixing seat is provided on the base of the device;
[0016] The bow pushing action component is respectively connected to the fixing seat and the labial side bow pushing assembly.
[0017] Furthermore, the bow pushing action component includes:

[0023] 1. The braces are squeezed by the adjustable labial side adjustment component and the lingual side adjustment component, which can restore the mechanical properties of braces of different shapes. It has strong adaptability and can meet the needs of different users.
[0024] 2. By setting the push bow fixing twist, the push bow point on the labial side is firmly fixed in the preset position to avoid displacement or loosening during use, which helps to maintain the accuracy of force application and ensure that the effect of the braces will not be affected by the instability of the push bow position during the repair process. Cooperating with the middle part of the push bow on the labial side can help ensure that when clamping the braces, the clamping force between the middle area and other areas of the braces is balanced to avoid deformation or damage caused by excessive force on a certain part.

[0036] In order to make the contents of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below based on specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0037] Example 1
[0038] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a braces mechanical properties recovery device comprises:
[0039] Device base 1;
[0040] The lip side adjustment component 2 includes a lip side push bow 23 suitable for deformation under force and at least one push bow action component, the push bow action component is connected to the lip side push bow 23 to actuate the lip side push bow 23;
[0041] The lingual side adjustment component 3 includes a lingual side thrust surface 33 suitable for deformation under force and at least one thrust surface actuation component. The thrust surface actuation component is connected to the lingual side thrust surface 33 to actuate the lingual side thrust surface 33. The lingual side thrust surface 33 is located on the inner side of the labial side thrust arch 23 and forms a braces accommodating area therebetween for accommodating the braces.
[0042] The tongue-side thrust surface 33 and / or the labial-side thrust bow 23 are moved to squeeze and deform the braces between the labial-side thrust bow 23 and the tongue-side thrust surface 33 .
[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, a braces placement area 12 is provided on the device base 1 , and the braces between the labial side thrust arch 23 and the lingual side thrust surface 33 are placed on the braces placement area 12 .
[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, soft cushion layers are provided on the labial side thrust arch 23, the lingual side thrust surface 33, and the braces placement area 12 at the locations in contact with the braces.
[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, a lingual thrust base surface 11 is further provided on the device base 1. The lingual thrust base surface 11 is higher than the braces placement area 12 and forms a step, which is suitable for limiting the inner side of the braces.
[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, the braces placement area 12 is provided with a plurality of ventilation and sterilization ports 4 for connecting to external ventilation and sterilization equipment.
[0047] like Figure 1As shown, a fixing seat 25 is provided on the device base 1;
[0048] The push bow action assembly is connected to the fixing seat 25 and the labial side push bow 23 respectively.
[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, the bow pushing action components include:
[0050] The push bow support rod 22 is rotatably connected to the push bow 23 on the lip side surface, and the push bow support rod 22 is connected to the fixing seat 25 through a thread.
[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, the push bow support rod 22 is connected to the push bow adjusting screw 21.
[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, the middle portion of the labial side push bow 23 is fixedly connected to the fixing seat 25;
[0053] In this embodiment, the middle portion of the labial side push bow 23 is connected to the fixing seat 25 via a push bow fixing twist 24 .
[0054] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0055] The braces to be repaired are placed in the braces placement area 12, between the labial side adjustment component 2 and the lingual side adjustment component 3. The lingual side adjustment component 3 is located on top of the lingual side thrust base surface 11. Since the lingual side thrust base surface 11 is higher than the braces placement area 12, the step formed has a certain limiting effect on the braces to prevent it from shifting during the repair process.
[0056] After placement, move the middle part of the labial side push bow 23. The position of the middle part of the labial side push bow 23 corresponds to the push bow fixing twist 24. The middle part of the labial side push bow 23 moves in the direction of the push bow fixing twist 24 to squeeze the braces. This part fixes the central incisor area of the braces to avoid uneven force caused by the displacement of the braces during subsequent adjustment and repair.
[0057] After the central incisor area of the braces is fixed, the labial side push arch 23 and the corresponding lingual side thrust surface 33 on the same side of the braces need to be adjusted simultaneously to ensure uniform force;
[0058] When adjusting the lip side push bow 23, the push bow adjustment screw 21 is rotated to drive the push bow support rod 22 to rotate inside the fixed seat 25, so that the push bow support rod 22 itself can be moved by the threaded fit between the fixed seat 25 and the push bow support rod 22. When the push bow support rod 22 moves inside the fixed seat 25, it drives the lip side push bow 23 to produce horizontal displacement, thereby achieving lip side adjustment;
[0059] The movable part of the labial side adjustment component 2 is the labial side push arch 23, and the movable part of the lingual side adjustment component 3 is the lingual side thrust surface 33. The two movable components and the braces placement area 12 for placing the braces are in direct contact with the braces. The surfaces in direct contact with the braces are provided with soft pads, which are connected by snaps to avoid the risk of braces being damaged under pressure. The snap connection method facilitates the replacement of the soft pads, thereby improving service life and convenience.
[0060] The ventilation and sterilization port 4 provided on the braces placement area 12 is in direct contact with the braces. A ventilation and sterilization operation mechanism is provided inside or outside the device base 1. The air outlet is connected to the ventilation and sterilization port 4, so that air is directly applied to the braces to maintain the braces, thereby ensuring a clean storage environment for the braces and preventing bacterial growth on the braces.
[0061] The ventilation and sterilization operation mechanism mainly includes a ventilation system and sterilization equipment. The ventilation system includes a fan, an air filter, and air inlet and outlet pipes. The sterilization equipment includes an ultraviolet lamp sterilization device, all of which are opened or closed by electronic control. This part belongs to the existing technology and will not be elaborated on here.
[0062] Example 2
[0063] like Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment further includes the following structure based on the first embodiment: the thrust surface action component includes an adjustment push rod 32 slidably connected to the device base 1, and the adjustment push rod 32 is movably connected to the lingual side thrust surface 33; wherein, after moving into position, the adjustment push rod 32 is suitable for being locked on the device base 1 by a locking mechanism;
[0064] The device base 1 is provided with a plurality of adjustment slots 31 , and the adjustment push rods 32 are slidably arranged on the corresponding adjustment slots 31 .
[0065] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0066] When the lingual side thrust surface 33 is adjusted, the corresponding adjustment push rod 32 is directly pushed to drive the lingual side thrust surface 33 to move, thereby squeezing the braces. The multiple independently movable lingual side thrust surfaces 33 can be individually adjusted according to the irregular shape of the braces to squeeze and plasticize them and restore their mechanical properties. It should be noted that the operator needs to apply a thrust when the adjustment push rod 32 slides inside the adjustment slot 31. After adjusting to the required position, the adjustment push rod 32 and the adjustment slot 31 are fixed by the locking mechanism.
[0067] The locking mechanism can be a bolt and a nut. The nut is located at the bottom of the device base 1. The bolt passes through the adjusting push rod 32 and the inside of the adjusting slot 31 and is connected to the nut. When the adjusting push rod 32 is adjusted to the required position, the nut is rotated, and the nut moves along the direction of the bolt thread to clamp the bottom of the device base 1. The diameter of the nut is larger than the diameter of the adjusting slot 31.
[0068] During the operation, it is necessary to always keep the braces from tilting up on one side due to uneven force, and keep them in a flat state. After adjusting the labial side push bow 23 and the lingual side thrust surface 33 on one side, perform the same operation on the other side in the same way as above.
[0069] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects solved by the present invention. It should be understood that the above are only specific embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
