Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clamping mechanism technology, and in particular to a clamping fixture for a zirconia ceramic block cutting machine. Background Technology
[0002] To evaluate the properties of zirconia ceramic blocks, various testing instruments are required to assess their performance, such as hardness, sintering density, flexural strength, and chemical solubility. Testing these materials often necessitates preparing specimens of required dimensions and shapes according to national or international standards. For denture zirconia blocks, the mainstream shape is currently disc-shaped. If a thick zirconia block needs to be used to prepare a thinner block, the traditional method involves milling the disc-shaped block into thin slices using a milling machine, resulting in significant material waste. While wire EDM (diamond wire cutting machine) offers high precision and high material utilization, accelerating sample preparation, there is currently no specific fixture for zirconia blocks on such machines. Consequently, when cutting zirconia blocks, the wobbling during cutting leads to uneven thickness in the resulting thin zirconia blocks. Therefore, this solution proposes a zirconia block cutting machine fixture to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0029] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-4 shown.
[0030] Example 1:
[0031] A fixture for cutting zirconia ceramic blocks, including:
[0032] Handle 1;
[0033] Clamping component 2 is located on one side of handle 1 and is used to fix the position of the zirconia ceramic block.
[0034] Positioning block 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of handle 1;
[0035] Mounting component 4 is located at the bottom of positioning block 3 and is used to fix the position of positioning block 3.
[0036] Specifically, clamping component 2 includes:
[0037] The retaining ring 201 is fixedly connected to one end of the handle 1.
[0038] Clamping block 202 is inserted into the inside of fixing ring 201;
[0039] A drive component is provided on one side of the clamping block 202 and is used to move the position of the clamping block 202.
[0040] It should be noted that the clamping assembly 2 can be divided into a fully enclosed structure clamp and a semi-enclosed structure clamp. The semi-enclosed structure clamp consists of a fixed part and a movable part with a semi-circular cross-section. The fixed part is used to connect with the handle 1 of the fixed clamp, and the movable part is used to connect and clamp the zircon block. The fully enclosed structure clamp consists of a fixed ring 201, a clamping block 202 and a driving component. In use, the zircon block is first inserted into the fixed ring 201, and then the driving component drives the clamping block 202 to move to one side of the zircon block, and the zircon block is clamped and fixed by multiple clamping blocks 202.
[0041] Specifically, the driving component includes a bearing 203 fixedly connected to one side of the clamping block 202, a threaded rod 204 inserted inside the bearing 203, the threaded rod 204 threadedly inserted into the inner wall of one side of the fixing ring 201, a torsion cap 206 fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod 204, and a limiting rod 205 fixedly connected to one end of the clamping block 202, the limiting rod 205 inserted into the inner wall of one side of the fixing ring 201.
[0042] It should be noted that the bearing 203 is an existing ball bearing, used to connect the threaded rod 204 and the clamping block 202, so that the threaded rod 204 can rotate on one side of the clamping block 202. There are at least two limiting rods 205 on one side of the clamping block 202. The limiting rods 205 are slidably connected to the fixing ring 201. The limiting rods 205 restrict the clamping block 202 so that it cannot rotate. When it is necessary to move the position of the clamping block 202, the twist cap 206 is rotated, which drives the threaded rod 204 to rotate and move the threaded rod 204 on one side of the fixing ring 201. The moved threaded rod 204 drives the clamping block 202 to move.
[0043] Example 2:
[0044] Mounting component 4 is applied to the fixture in embodiment 1;
[0045] Specifically, component 4 includes:
[0046] Fixing base 401 is located at the bottom of handle 1;
[0047] The positioning groove 407 is formed at the top of the fixed base 401, and the positioning block 3 is inserted into the interior of the positioning groove 407.
[0048] A snap-fit connector is provided at the connection between the positioning block 3 and the positioning groove 407. The snap-fit connector is used to fix the position of the positioning block 3.
[0049] It should be noted that the fixed base 401 is connected to the zirconia ceramic block wire cutting machine, and the positioning groove 407 is adapted to the positioning block 3, so that the positioning block 3 can be inserted into the positioning groove 407. The positioning block 3 is fixed in the positioning groove 407 by the snap-fit. When the clamping component 2 needs to be replaced, the positioning block 3 at the bottom of the different clamping component 2 is directly inserted into the positioning groove 407, and the position of the positioning block 3 is fixed by the snap-fit, so as to quickly disassemble and install the clamping component 2.
[0050] Specifically, the snap-fit component includes a snap-fit hole 403 in the middle of the positioning block 3, a snap-fit block 402 is inserted into the snap-fit hole 403, a push block 405 is provided on one side of the snap-fit block 402, an elastic block 406 is fixedly connected to one side of the push block 405, a pressing hole 404 is provided on the inner wall of one side of the positioning groove 407, a cavity 408 is provided in the middle of the fixing base 401, and the push block 405 and the elastic block 406 are both inserted into the cavity 408.
[0051] It should be noted that the locking block 402 is adapted to the opening locking hole 403, allowing the locking block 402 to be inserted and connected inside the locking hole 403. The opening guide groove is adapted to the locking block 402, allowing the locking block 402 to slide inside the guide groove. When it is necessary to fix the position of the positioning block 3, the positioning block 3 is first inserted into the positioning groove 407, and then the locking block 402 is pushed into the locking hole 403 by the moving part. The locking block 402 is used to restrict the positioning block 3, thereby fixing the position. Block 3 cannot be moved out of the positioning groove 407, thus fixing the position of positioning block 3; the elastic block 406 is made of rubber, and the pushing block 405 of the elastic block 406 is located away from the side of the locking block 402. During use, the elastic block 406 pushes the pushing block 405 towards the side of the locking block 402 to prevent the locking block 402 from moving randomly during use; the cavity 408 is adapted to the pushing block 405, allowing the pushing block 405 to slide inside the cavity 408.
[0052] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
