[0002] With the increasing health awareness and changing consumption concepts in modern society, consumers are paying more and more attention to oral care, which has driven the rapid development of the toothpaste market. Toothpaste varieties are becoming increasingly diversified, and consumers' functional demands for toothpaste are also becoming more varied. Toothpaste has a teeth-whitening effect. In the toothpaste production process, tooth samples need to be stained, and then a toothbrush with toothpaste is used to rub the tooth samples, simulating brushing, to determine the whitening effect of the toothpaste.

[0003] Currently, standard tooth samples are typically soaked in a staining solution to stain them before a brushing test. During the staining process, the tooth sample needs to be placed in the staining tank of a staining rack. However, when preparing tooth samples, cutting equipment is usually used to cut the samples to fit the size of the staining tank.

[0004] The current cutting method involves fixing the tooth sample in a clamping position and then using a cutting machine to cut the tooth sample. This cutting method has a low degree of automation, resulting in low efficiency in the cutting of tooth samples. Summary of the Invention

[0032] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] Unless otherwise specified or defined, the terms "first," "second," etc., used in this document are for distinguishing names only and do not represent a specific number or order.

[0034] Unless otherwise stated or defined, the term “and / or” as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0035] It should be noted that when a component is considered "fixed" to another component, it can be directly fixed to the other component or there can be an intervening component; when a component is considered "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there can be an intervening component; when a component is considered "mounted" on another component, it can be directly mounted on the other component or there can be an intervening component; when a component is considered "placed" on another component, it can be directly placed on the other component or there can be an intervening component.

[0036] This utility model proposes a clamping and cutting device 100, such as... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the assembly includes a processing housing 1, a clamping mechanism 3, a driving mechanism 4, a measuring mechanism 5, a cutting machine 6, and a control computer. The processing housing 1 has a processing chamber 11. The driving mechanism 4 is mounted on the processing housing 1, and the clamping mechanism 3 is mounted on the output end of the driving mechanism 4. The clamping mechanism 3 is located inside the processing chamber 11. The measuring mechanism 5 is mounted inside the processing housing 1, and the cutting machine 6 is mounted on the side wall of the processing chamber 11. The driving mechanism 4, the clamping mechanism 3, the measuring mechanism 5, and the cutting machine 6 are electrically connected to the control computer. The control computer is used to control the driving mechanism 4, the clamping mechanism 3, the measuring mechanism 5, and the cutting machine 6 respectively, so that the clamping mechanism 3 clamps the tooth sample and drives the clamping mechanism 3 to move to the vicinity of the measuring mechanism 5 or the cutting machine 6 via the driving mechanism 4.

[0037] Specifically, the tooth sample is placed on the clamping mechanism 3, which fixes the tooth sample. The control computer controls the drive mechanism 4, which moves the tooth sample to the measuring mechanism 5. The preset size is input into the control computer, which then controls the measuring mechanism 5 to measure the tooth sample. The control computer compares the preset size with the actual size of the tooth sample and calculates the data that the tooth sample needs to be cut. This data is then transmitted to the control computer, which controls the drive mechanism 4 to move the tooth sample to the vicinity of the cutting machine 6 for cutting. The tooth sample is automatically cut, and the actual size of the cut sample is close to the preset size. Through a series of automated measurements and cutting processes, the problem of low efficiency in the current tooth sample cutting operation is improved.

[0038] In this embodiment, the driving mechanism 4 is prior art, and the driving mechanism 4 is not described in detail in this application. The driving mechanism 4 can be referred to Chinese Patent Publication No. CN118730676A, which discloses a dyeing device. The dyeing device has a detailed structure that can drive the clamping component 340 to move in three different directions and rotate to adjust the angle of the clamping component 340. Therefore, the driving mechanism 4 will not be described in detail.

[0039] In addition, since the clamping mechanism 3 needs to clamp the tooth sample and cooperate with the cutting machine 6 so that the cutting machine 6 can cut the tooth sample, the clamping mechanism 3 is subjected to a large force from the cutting machine 6 when clamping the tooth sample. If the clamping stability is poor, the tooth sample will be squeezed out by the force of the cutting machine 6. Therefore, the clamping stability of the clamping mechanism 3 is very important. Specifically, the clamping mechanism 3 includes an air pump, a housing 31, a piston 32, a drive rod 33, and a clamping assembly 340. The air pump is connected to the housing 31, and the clamping assembly 340 has a clamping position 36. The piston 32 is movably installed inside the housing 31, dividing the housing 31 into a first air chamber 311 and a second air chamber 312. The first end of the drive rod 33 is fixed to the piston 32, and the second end of the drive rod 33 cooperates with the clamping assembly 340. The air pump is used to drive the piston 32 to move, so that the piston 32 has a first moving position and a second moving position. In the first moving position, the clamping position 36 of the clamping assembly 340 opens; in the second moving position, the clamping position 36 of the clamping assembly 340 closes.

[0040] Understandably, the air pump is used to deliver gas to the first air chamber 311 of the housing 31. When the gas in the first air chamber 311 increases, the piston 32 squeezes the second air chamber 312, and the air in the second air chamber 312 is discharged. The piston 32 drives the drive rod 33 to move toward the clamping position 36. The piston 32 moves to the first moving position and drives the clamping assembly 340 to open the clamping position 36. When the air pump is pumping air, the gas in the first air chamber 311 decreases, and the first air chamber 311 is under negative pressure. There is a pressure difference between the first air chamber 311 and the second air chamber 312. This pressure difference will drive the piston 32 to move to the second moving position and drive the drive rod 33 to move. The drive rod 33 drives the clamping assembly 340 to move, so that the clamping position 36 closes. As the air pump draws in and fills the gas, a pressure difference is created between the first air chamber 311 and the second air chamber 312. This pressure difference has a large force, which improves the stability of the piston 32 and also improves the stability of the drive rod 33 driving the clamping assembly 340, so that the clamping assembly 340 can stably clamp the tooth sample.

[0041] Preferably, the outer casing 31 has an air intake port 313 and an air inlet / exhaust port 314. The air pump is connected to the first end of the air intake port 313 via an air pipe, and the second end of the air intake port 313 is connected to the first air chamber 311. The air inlet / exhaust port 314 is connected to the second air chamber 312. Specifically, the air pump draws and delivers air through the air intake port 313, causing the first air chamber 311 to be under negative pressure or filled with gas. There is a pressure difference between the first air chamber 311 and the second air chamber 312. This pressure difference drives the piston 32 to move within the outer casing 31, thereby driving the drive rod 33 to move. The air inlet / exhaust port 314 is used to connect the second air chamber 312 to the outside, facilitating the intake or exhaust of air in the second air chamber 312.

[0042] Preferably, the clamping assembly 340 includes three transmission members 34 and three clamping arms 35. The three transmission members 34 are equidistantly arranged around the drive rod 33 in the circumferential direction. Each clamping arm 35 has a clamping block 351. The three clamping arms 35 are arranged in a closed manner, and a clamping position 36 is formed between the three clamping blocks 351. The first end of the transmission member 34 is hinged to the drive rod 33, the second end of the transmission member 34 is rotatably installed in the housing 31, and the third end of the transmission member 34 is fixed to the clamping arm 35. Specifically, the first ends of the three transmission components 34 are all hinged to the drive rod 33. When the piston 32 moves to the first moving position, the first ends of the three transmission components 34 move closer to the clamping position 36. Due to the lever principle, the second ends of the three transmission components 34 open, driving the three clamping arms 35 to open, thus opening the clamping position 36. When the piston 32 moves to the second moving position, the second ends of the three transmission components 34 move away from the clamping position 36, closing and driving the three clamping arms 35 to move closer to each other, thus closing the clamping position 36. When the tooth sample is in the clamping position 36, the clamping blocks 351 of the three clamping arms 35 abut against the tooth sample from three different directions, improving the stability of the tooth sample. Elastic parts can be provided on the clamping blocks 351. When the clamping blocks 351 compress the tooth sample, the elastic parts contact the tooth sample, preventing the tooth sample from being crushed. At the same time, it also increases the friction between the tooth sample and the clamping blocks 351, further improving the stability of the tooth sample after being clamped.

[0043] To enable the three clamping arms 35 to open automatically without the action of an air pump, thereby improving clamping efficiency, the clamping assembly 340 also includes a support rod 343, a first elastic element 344, and a reset block 345. The support rod 343 is installed inside the housing 31 and is located on one side of the drive rod 33. The first end of the first elastic element 344 is fixed to the support rod 343, and the reset block 345 is installed on the second end of the first elastic element 344. The reset block 345 is conical in shape, and the side of the clamping arm 35 near the reset block 345 has a guide slope, which slides in engagement with the outer wall of the reset block 345. Specifically, when the air pump draws air from the first air chamber 311, the piston 32 moves to the second moving position. The drive rod 33 drives the three transmission components 34 to drive the three clamping arms 35 to move closer together, causing the clamping position 36 to close. The guide slope on the clamping arm 35 abuts against the reset block 345 and squeezes the reset block 345. The reset block 345 squeezes the first elastic element 344, causing the first elastic element 344 to be in a compressed state. When the air pump stops operating, the reaction force of the first elastic element 344 will drive the three clamping arms 35 to move, causing the clamping position 36 to open. This facilitates the placement of the dental sample in the clamping position 36 without the need for the air pump to drive the piston 32 to move, improving the convenience of clamping the dental sample in the clamping position 36.

[0044] Preferably, the transmission component 34 includes a first rod 341, a second rod 342, and a pin. The first end of the first rod 341 is hinged to the drive rod 33, the second end of the first rod 341 is fixed to the first end of the second rod 342, and the second end of the second rod 342 is fixed to the clamping arm 35. The connection between the first rod 341 and the second rod 342 is rotatably mounted on the support rod 343 via the pin. Specifically, the drive rod 33 is hinged to the first rod 341, the first rod 341 is fixed to the second rod 342, and the first rod 341 and the second rod 342 are rotatably mounted via the pin, forming a lever structure. When the drive rod 33 moves, it can drive the three clamping arms 35 to rotate through the three transmission components 34, causing the three clamping blocks 351 to move closer or further apart, thereby clamping the tooth sample.

[0045] To achieve automatic measurement of the dimensions of tooth samples, specifically, the processing box 1 has a measuring chamber 12. The measuring mechanism 5 includes a movable column 51, a second elastic element 52, and an infrared spectroscopy measuring instrument 53. The first end of the second elastic element 52 is installed on the bottom wall of the measuring chamber 12, the movable column 51 abuts against the second end of the second elastic element 52, and the movable column 51 is movably disposed inside the measuring chamber 12. The infrared spectroscopy measuring instrument 53 is installed on the inner wall of the measuring chamber 12 and electrically connected to the control computer host. The sensing range of the infrared spectroscopy measuring instrument 53 covers at least a part of the movable column 51. When the movable column 51 is stationary and located on one side of the infrared spectroscopy measuring instrument 53, the infrared spectroscopy measuring instrument 53 is in a non-operating state. When the clamping mechanism 3 clamps the tooth sample and squeezes the movable column 51, the tooth sample extends into the measuring chamber 12. The movable column 51 squeezes the second elastic element 52, activating the infrared spectroscopy measuring instrument 53. The infrared spectroscopy measuring instrument 53 emits light to the tooth sample and reflects it, thereby calculating the size information of the tooth sample. This size information is transmitted to the control computing host, which performs calculations and controls the drive mechanism 4 through the program. The drive mechanism 4 drives the clamping mechanism 3 to move to the cutting machine 6 for cutting. After cutting, the required tooth sample size is obtained.

[0046] The specific structure of the infrared spectroscopy measuring instrument 53 can refer to existing technologies, such as Chinese Patent No. CN108088812A, which discloses a visible and near-infrared transmission spectroscopy measuring device. Applying this measuring device to the infrared spectroscopy measuring instrument 53 in this application can realize automatic measurement of tooth samples. In addition, the movable column 51 can drive the infrared spectroscopy measuring instrument 53 to operate after it moves. For example, when the movable column 51 is reset by the second elastic element 52, the movable column 51 contacts the infrared spectroscopy measuring instrument 53 and drives the infrared spectroscopy measuring instrument 53 to stop operating. When the movable column 51 is squeezed and moved by the tooth sample, the movable column 51 separates from the infrared spectroscopy measuring instrument 53, and the infrared spectroscopy measuring instrument 53 starts the measurement operation.

[0047] In addition, the measuring chamber 12 also has a movable plate 54. One side of the movable plate 54 is fixed to the second elastic member 52, and the other side of the movable plate 54 abuts against the movable column 51. The movable plate 54 is provided to improve the stability of the second elastic member 52 during extension and retraction.

[0048] Furthermore, the outer wall of the movable column 51 has a limiting block 511, and the inner wall of the measuring chamber 12 has a clearance groove 13. The limiting block 511 and the clearance groove 13 are slidably engaged, and the limiting block 511 is used to abut against the inner wall of the measuring chamber 12. This limiting block 511 and clearance groove 13 are slidably engaged, and the clearance groove 13 also provides clearance for the limiting block 511, which facilitates the movement of the movable column 51 and limits the movement path and distance of the movable column 51, thereby improving the stability of the movable column 51 during measurement. In addition, the limiting block 511 can also cooperate with the infrared spectroscopy measuring instrument 53 to start or stop the infrared spectroscopy measuring instrument 53.

[0049] Preferably, the cutting machine 6 has cutting disc teeth and a motor. The motor is installed inside the processing housing 1, and the cutting disc teeth are installed at the output end of the motor. The cutting direction of the cutting disc teeth faces the clamping mechanism 3. The motor is electrically connected to the control computer host. The control computer host is used to control the operation of the motor, so that the motor drives the cutting disc teeth to rotate. When the cutting disc teeth rotate, they can cut the tooth sample.

[0050] Preferably, the assembly also includes a door 2 and a water sprayer 7. The door 2 is movably installed at the opening of the processing chamber 11 and is used to open or close the processing chamber 11. The water sprayer 7 is installed inside the processing chamber 11, with its nozzle facing the cutting machine 6. When the cutting machine 6 cuts the tooth sample, the cut-off tooth sample will wear down into granular material, resulting in a significant amount of dust during processing. Activating the water sprayer 7 sprays water onto the cutting machine 6. The water, upon contact with the dust, falls into the processing chamber 11, reducing dust accumulation and further minimizing dust pollution of the processing chamber 11 environment.

The purpose is to enable the public to have a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of the disclosed content of this utility model, and it is not intended to limit the protection scope of this utility model.

[0053] The above embodiments are not an exhaustive list based on the present invention, and there may be other embodiments not listed. Any substitutions and improvements made without departing from the concept of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
