Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of dental vacuum forming machines, in particular to a dental vacuum forming machine based on grating measurement. Background Art
[0002] The existing dental vacuum forming machines in the domestic market are divided into two categories: manual dental vacuum forming machines and automatic dental vacuum forming machines.
[0003] Among them, the manual dental vacuum forming machine requires the operator to put the diaphragm into the movable frame, manually lift the movable frame to the bottom of the heating element, and the operator needs to place the model on the vacuum table. After that, press the heating button, and the operator needs to wait and observe beside the machine. When the diaphragm sags due to the heat, visually observe that the diaphragm sags to the required distance, and then manually lower the movable frame to press the softened diaphragm and the model together. After vacuuming, wait for the diaphragm to cool down and then take it out. The disadvantage of this model is that the operator needs to wait and observe beside the machine, and the manual waiting time is long. In addition, since the sagging speed of the diaphragm when softening is affected by factors such as material properties, material thickness, and ambient temperature, its sagging speed is uncertain. A slight negligence will cause it to sag too much or too little, and the model production will fail.
[0004] Among them, automatic dental vacuum forming machines are divided into two types;
[0005] One type uses a circuit-set countdown to control the rise and fall of a movable frame. The operator places the film inside the movable frame, which is then raised and lowered via a control panel. Once the frame is raised below the heating element, the operator places the model on the vacuum table and presses the heating button. The machine begins heating, and when the film sags due to the heat, it automatically drops after the preset countdown, pressing the softened film and model together. The disadvantage of this type of machine is that it relies solely on a circuit-set countdown to control the fall. Even for the same film type, the degree of softening and sagging can be affected by factors such as thickness and ambient temperature. The movable frame may drop if the film sags beyond the required level, resulting in a failed model.
[0006] The other type has a built-in temperature sensor. The operator needs to place the diaphragm into a movable frame, which is then raised and lowered via the control panel. After the frame rises to below the heating element, the operator needs to place the model on the vacuum table and press the heating button. The machine starts heating. When the diaphragm sags due to the heat, the built-in temperature sensor monitors the diaphragm temperature. When the diaphragm temperature reaches the preset temperature, the movable frame automatically drops, pressing the softened diaphragm and the model together. The disadvantage of this type of machine is that it only measures the diaphragm temperature. The diaphragm temperature and diaphragm sag are not positively correlated. When the diaphragm reaches the same temperature, its sag is affected by factors such as material properties and thickness. The movable frame may fall if the diaphragm sag does not meet the requirements, resulting in model production failure.
[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a dental vacuum forming machine based on grating measurement to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
