Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of dental prosthesis technology, specifically relating to a steam cleaning machine for dental prosthesis processing. Background Technology

[0002] Dentures are what people commonly call "false teeth." Just as "prosthetic legs" or "prosthetic limbs" are called "prosthetics," "dentures" refer to teeth that fulfill their "duties" for humans. In medicine, it's a general term for restorations made after partial or complete loss of the upper and lower jaw teeth. Dentures are divided into two types: removable and fixed. Fixed dentures, commonly known as "fixed false teeth," cannot be removed by the patient, while removable dentures, commonly known as "removable false teeth," can be easily removed and worn by the patient. During the manufacturing process of dentures, they need to be cleaned, and a dental steam cleaner is one of the most commonly used devices. A conventional dental steam cleaner places the dentures in a cleaning chamber, and high-temperature steam generated by heating water is sprayed onto the dentures through nozzles, thereby achieving the purpose of cleaning dirt and impurities.

[0003] Chinese patent CN213435963U discloses a steam cleaner for dental prosthesis processing. The water tank is slidably connected to a placement plate, and the steam cleaner body is also provided with a cabinet door. The steam cleaner body is connected to a first corrugated pipe, and the first corrugated pipe is connected to a first scraper. The first scraper has a first water outlet hole.

[0004] However, the above has the following shortcomings:

[0005] 1. The above-mentioned patent only sets up a placement plate for placing dentures. The dentures are cleaned by steam. Water droplets formed by steam remove impurities and dirt from the surface of the dentures. However, because there are many grooves on the surface of the dentures, there are stubborn stains in the grooves that cannot be removed by water droplets formed by steam. As a result, the dentures are still not clean after cleaning, which affects the cleaning efficiency and reduces work efficiency.

[0006] 2. The aforementioned patent only has one water tank, which causes water droplets carrying stains on the surface of the dentures to re-enter the water tank, contaminating the water inside and making subsequent cleaning of the water tank difficult. Furthermore, fine dust particles will float up with the water vapor and re-contaminate the dentures, requiring the dentures to be cleaned again, thus reducing work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0007] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention solves the technical problem by setting up a steam plate that can move up and down to spray and wash the surface of the denture, and by using the sponges set around it to scrape the surface of the denture, so as to keep the surface of the denture clean. By setting up two water tanks, the steam water is kept clean, and the wastewater tank is independent, which facilitates the cleaning of the device and prevents wastewater from contaminating the steam water, thereby improving the efficiency of cleaning dentures.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a steam cleaner for denture processing, comprising a housing, a placement plate movably connected inside the housing, a guide plate fixedly connected below the placement plate inside the housing, and two sets of support blocks symmetrically distributed and fixedly connected below the guide plate. The feature is that a flange is fixedly connected to the surface of the housing at the location of the guide plate, and one end of a flexible hose is fixedly connected to the surface of the flange. A steam plate is movably connected above the placement plate inside the housing, and two sliders are symmetrically distributed below the steam plate. A support plate is slidably connected below each slider, and two grooves are symmetrically distributed on the surface of the support plate, each groove slidably connecting to a corresponding slider. A sponge is fixedly connected below the support plate. The other end of the flexible hose is fixedly connected inside the steam plate, and a steam flange is fixedly connected to the surface of the flexible hose inside the steam plate. The steam plate is provided with a pushing mechanism.

[0009] Furthermore, the pushing device includes a push plate, which is slidably connected inside the steam plate. Multiple push blocks are linearly and evenly distributed below the push plate, and the support plate and the surface of the sponge are provided with clearance grooves corresponding to the positions of each push block.

[0010] Furthermore, the cylinders of two electric actuators are symmetrically distributed and fixedly connected to the surface of the steam plate, and the pushing ends of the two electric actuators pass through the steam plate and are fixedly connected to the push plate on the surface.

[0011] Furthermore, a turntable is fixedly connected to the surface of the steam plate, and a second rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the center of the turntable. The surface of the second rotating shaft located at the center of the turntable is fixedly connected to the rotating block.

[0012] Furthermore, the cylinder of an electric actuator is fixedly connected to the surface of the housing, the pushing end of the electric actuator is fixedly connected to the extension plate, and a rotating block is fixedly connected to the surface of the extension plate.

[0013] Furthermore, two sliding grooves are symmetrically distributed inside the box, and two sinking grooves are symmetrically distributed in each sliding groove. Two sets of sliders are symmetrically fixedly connected to the surface of the placement plate. Each set of sliders is slidably connected in the corresponding sliding groove, and each slider can slide into the sinking groove in the corresponding sliding groove. The surface of the placement plate is densely covered with multiple flow holes.

[0014] Furthermore, a water tank plate is fixedly connected to the box body below the guide plate, and a water inlet is opened on the surface of the water tank plate. A water plug is detachably connected to the water inlet. An installation groove is opened on the lower surface of the box body, and an electric heating tube is fixedly connected in the installation groove.

[0015] Furthermore, a sewage tank is fixedly connected to the surface of the box at the flow channel, and an outlet is provided inside the sewage tank.

[0016] In summary, compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] (1) A movable steam plate is used to steam rinse the surface of the denture. By placing a sponge around the steam plate, the surface of the denture is scraped with the sponge, so that dirt in the grooves of the denture surface can also be cleaned, and there will be no stains that cannot be rinsed off, thus improving the cleaning efficiency of the denture.

[0018] (2) Two water tanks are set up to separate the steam water and sewage, so that the sewage will not fall into the steam water tank and contaminate the steam water. This facilitates the cleaning of the device and ensures that the steam water will not be contaminated by sewage, thus preventing the denture from being contaminated again and improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a steam cleaner for denture processing includes a housing 10. Two sliders 37 are symmetrically and fixedly connected to the surface of the housing 10. A cover plate 11 is slidably connected to the surface of the housing 10. Two grooves 38 are symmetrically distributed on the surface of the cover plate 11. The sliders 37 are slidably connected within the grooves 38 at corresponding positions. Two grooves 24 are symmetrically distributed inside the housing 10. Two recessed grooves are symmetrically distributed within each groove 24. A placement plate 26 is slidably connected inside the housing 10. Multiple flow holes 27 are densely distributed on the surface of the placement plate 26. Two sets of sliders 25 are symmetrically and fixedly connected to the surface of the placement plate 26. Each set of sliders 25 is slidably connected within the grooves 24 at corresponding positions. Each slider 37... 5. A lower groove can be slidably connected to the corresponding position in the slide groove 34. A guide plate 28 is fixedly connected to the box body 10 below the placement plate 26. Two sets of support blocks 39 are symmetrically distributed and fixedly connected to the box body 10 below the guide plate 28. A water tank plate 29 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the guide plate 28. A water inlet 41 is opened on the surface of the water tank plate 29. A water plug 40 is detachably connected to the water inlet 41. An installation groove 36 is opened on the lower surface of the box body 10. An electric heating tube 30 is fixedly connected to the installation groove 36. A flow channel 31 is opened at the position of the guide plate 28 in the box body 10. A sewage tank 12 is fixedly connected to the surface of the box body 10 at the position of the slide groove 38. An outlet 42 is opened on the surface of the sewage tank 12.

[0030] The placement of the denture is facilitated by a sliding and detachable placement plate 26. The water tank plate 29 and the sewage tank 12 are set separately to prevent the steam water from being contaminated by sewage, thus preventing the denture from being contaminated again. The electric heating tube 30 is installed in the box body 10 so that the steam water in the box body 10 can be heated quickly to generate sufficient steam.

[0031] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a cylinder body with an electric actuator 15 is fixedly connected to the surface of the housing 10. The telescopic end of the electric actuator 15 passes through the housing 10 and is fixedly connected to an extension plate 16. A rotating block 17 is fixedly connected to the surface of the extension plate 16. A rotating shaft 18 is fixedly connected inside the rotating block 17. A turntable 19 is rotatably connected to the surface of the rotating shaft 18. A steam plate 20 is fixedly connected to the surface of the turntable 19. Cylinder bodies with electric actuators 21 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the surface of the steam plate 20. A support plate 22 is slidably connected to the lower end of the steam plate 20. Two sliders 32 are symmetrically distributed and fixedly connected to the surface of plate 20. Two grooves 33 are symmetrically distributed on the surface of support plate 22. Each slider 32 is slidably connected in the groove 33 at the corresponding position. A sponge 23 is fixedly connected to the lower end of support plate 22. The telescopic ends of two electric push rods 21 pass through steam plate 20 and are fixedly connected to push plate 24. Multiple push blocks 25 are linearly and evenly distributed at the lower end of push plate 24. Avoidance grooves are opened on the surfaces of support plate 22 and sponge 23 at the position of each push block 25.

[0032] An electric actuator 15 drives the steam plate 20 to move, allowing the device to spray and clean the denture at close range. A support plate 22 allows the sponge 23 to be replaced and removed. The sponge 23 allows the device to scrape the surface of the denture. Two electric actuators 21 drive the push plate 24 to move, allowing the push block 25 to push the denture away from the steam plate 20, preventing the denture from being stuck by the sponge 23. A rotating block 17 and a turntable 19 are provided to ensure that the steam plate 20 fits as close as possible to the flow hole 27 or the guide plate 28 for easy cleaning.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, a flange 13 is fixedly connected to the surface of the housing 10 at the location of the guide plate 28. A hose 14 is fixedly connected to the surface of the flange 13. The hose 14 passes through the housing 10 and is fixedly connected to the steam plate 20. A steam flange 43 is fixedly connected to the surface of the hose 14 inside the steam plate 20.

[0034] By installing hoses 14 on the surfaces of the housing 10 and the steam plate 20, the water vapor generated by the housing 10 can be sprayed directly from the steam plate 20 and directly rinsed on the denture surface, thus improving cleaning efficiency.

[0035] In this embodiment, initially, the operator connects the device to the power supply, slides open the cover plate 11, removes the water plug 40 from the surface of the water tank plate 29, and pours sufficient water into the space formed by the guide plate 28 and the water tank plate 29 inside the tank 10. After the water is sufficient, the water plug 40 is installed back into the water inlet 41, and the cover plate 11 is closed again. At this time, the electric actuator 15 is in a fully retracted state, and the electric actuator 21 is in a fully retracted state.

[0036] Before use, the operator lifts the placement plate 26, causing the slider 35 connected to the surface of the placement plate 26 to slide out of the recessed groove in the slide groove 34, slides the placement plate 26 out of the two slide grooves 34, installs the denture on the surface of the placement plate 26, and sends the placement plate 26 back into the housing 10 along the original path and presses it down, so that the position of the placement plate 26 is locked.

[0037] After the denture is installed, the operator turns on the electric heating element 30, which quickly heats the steam water in the guide plate 28 and the water tank plate 29, causing a large amount of steam to enter the hose 14 along the flange 13 and spray out from the steam flange 43 at the other end of the hose 14 into the steam plate 20.

[0038] Once steam is generated inside the device, the operator activates the electric actuator 15 to push the steam plate 20 downward, causing the support plate 22 and the sponge 23 to approach the placement plate 26. At this time, the water vapor inside the steam plate 20 is directly sprayed onto the denture surface, forming a large number of water droplets, which wash away the stains that can be rinsed off the denture surface.

[0039] After steam cleaning for a period of time, the electric actuator 15 continues to push the steam plate 20 downward, so that the sponge 23 contacts the surface of the denture and scrapes away the stains on the surface of the denture. After scraping away the materials, the electric actuator 15 continues to drive the steam plate 20 downward, so that the sponge 23 fully contacts the placement plate 26 and is squeezed, so that the sewage in the sponge 23 flows along the flow holes 27 on the surface of the placement plate 26 and enters the sewage tank 12 through the surface of the guide plate 28. In order to prevent the denture from being clamped by the sponge 23, the operator activates the electric actuator 21 to push the drive push plate 24 downward, so that the push block 25 at the lower end of the push plate 24 pushes the denture between the sponge 23 away from the steam plate 20. At the same time as the electric actuator 21 drives the push block 25 downward, the electric actuator 15 retracts to drive the steam plate 20 to rise, so that the steam plate 20 moves away from the placement plate 26.

[0040] When the electric actuator 21 pushes the push plate 24 down, so that the push block 25 at the lower end of the push plate 24 fills the clearance groove between the support plate 22 and the sponge 23, the operator slides open the cover plate 11 and repeats the operation of taking out the placement plate 26 to take out the cleaned denture and put in the new denture that needs to be cleaned.

[0041] When the sponge 23 has finished cleaning, the operator removes the placement plate 26 and activates the electric actuator 15 to drive the steam plate 20 downward, so that the sponge 23 contacts the guide plate 28. Since the guide plate 28 is tilted at a certain angle, after the sponge 23 contacts the guide plate 28, the turntable 19 on the surface of the steam plate 20 rotates along the axis of the rotating shaft 18, so that the sponge 23 completely adheres to the guide plate 28. The electric actuator 15 continues to push the steam plate 20 downward, so that the sponge 23 is squeezed, squeezing out the sewage inside the sponge 23, and allowing the sewage to enter the sewage tank 12 along the guide plate 28. After the sewage is squeezed out, the electric actuator 21 retracts and drives the push block 25 upward, so that steam is sprayed out again, allowing the sponge 23 to absorb the steam. When the sponge 23 is saturated, the electric actuator 15 continues to drive the steam plate 20 downward, squeezing the sponge 23 again, so that the sewage that has been cleaned again enters the sewage tank 12 along the guide plate 28. The above operation is repeated many times to achieve the purpose of cleaning the surface of the guide plate 28 and cleaning the sponge 23.

[0042] After the sponge 23 has been used multiple times, the operator can remove the support plate 22 along the slide groove 33 and replace it with a new support plate 22 with a new sponge 23 by sliding it along the slider 32 to replace the sponge 23.

[0043] After completing the denture cleaning operation, the operator opens the outlet 42 to drain the sewage in the sewage tank 12 and restores the device to its initial state to facilitate the next denture cleaning operation.

[0044] The aforementioned hose 14, electric actuator 15, electric actuator 21, sponge 23, and heating element 30 are all existing mature technologies, and will not be described in detail here.
