Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oral impression disinfection technology, specifically a disinfection and rinsing device for oral impressions. Background Technology
[0002] Taking impressions is one of the most common clinical procedures in dental prosthetics. The oral environment is very complex and is a bacterial environment. During the impression process, it may be contaminated by microorganisms in blood and saliva, including Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans, hepatitis B virus, and human immunodeficiency virus. Since dental impression materials come into direct contact with oral microorganisms, their surfaces will inevitably carry a large number of pathogenic microorganisms. Routine disinfection of the impression is essential before injection; otherwise, the impression can become a carrier of disease, transferring pathogens to the plaster model and even contaminating the denture, leading to iatrogenic cross-infection among doctors, technicians, and patients.
[0003] After the impression is made and removed from the patient's mouth, it should be carefully inspected and any foreign objects or debris removed with tweezers. It should be rinsed with running water immediately and then disinfected. Soaking and disinfecting oral impressions can make them difficult to retrieve, requiring operators to directly reach into the disinfectant solution to retrieve them, which can irritate the skin. Utility Model Content

[0022] 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.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model discloses a disinfection and rinsing device for oral impressions, including a rinsing cylinder 1 with a support rod 3 at the bottom, a disinfection cylinder 2 connected to the bottom of the rinsing cylinder 1 and communicating with its inner cavity, an annular tube 4 installed on the upper end of the outer wall of the rinsing cylinder 1, a rinsing tube 5 connected to the annular tube 4 and extending into the rinsing cylinder 1, a disinfectant delivery tube 21 provided on one side of the disinfection cylinder 2, and a U-shaped rod 7 that can be raised and lowered on the rinsing cylinder 1, one arm of the U-shaped rod 7 located in the inner cavity of the rinsing cylinder 1 and connected to a placement basket 8 for placing oral impressions.
[0024] Specifically, the outer wall of the rinsing cylinder 1 is fixedly connected to the guide sleeve 9, and one arm of the U-shaped rod 7 is located outside the rinsing cylinder 1 and moves through the guide sleeve 9.
[0025] In this embodiment, the U-shaped rod 7 can be raised and lowered relative to the guide sleeve 9 so that the placement basket 8 can be moved downward into the disinfection cylinder 2.
[0026] Specifically, one arm of the U-shaped rod 7 is located outside the rinsing cylinder 1 and is fixedly fitted with two limiting blocks 10. A rotating rod 11 located between the two limiting blocks 10 is rotatably connected to the two U-shaped rods 7. A movable plate 12 is rotatably connected to one end of the rotating rod 11. A fixed plate 13 that cooperates with the movable plate 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating rod 11. A connecting block 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the movable plate 12. A through groove 14 is opened on the rinsing cylinder 1. The connecting block 15 can be connected to the fixed plate 13.
[0027] A U-shaped operating block 16 is fixedly connected to one end of the movable plate 12.
[0028] In this embodiment, when the placement basket 8 is located inside the rinsing cylinder 1 and the oral impression in the placement basket 8 needs to be rinsed, the rotating rod 11 is rotated so that one end of the rotating rod 11 faces the rinsing cylinder 1 and the bottom of the rotating rod 11 is attached to the top of the rinsing cylinder 1. Then, the movable plate 12 is rotated so that the connecting block 15 connected to the movable plate 12 can pass through the through groove 14 and be connected to the fixed plate 13, thereby achieving the function of relatively fixing the U-shaped rod 7 so that the oral impression in the placement basket 8 can be rinsed.
[0029] A first magnet may be provided on one side of the fixing plate 13, and a second magnet may be provided at one end of the connecting block 15 so that the fixing plate 13 and the connecting block 15 can be connected together.
[0030] The operation block 16 is designed to facilitate the movement of the movable plate 12.
[0031] Specifically, the inner cavity of the rinsing tube 1 is fixedly connected to the partition disinfection tube 2 and the partition plate 6 of the rinsing tube 1. The top of the partition plate 6 is provided with a circular through hole. The part of the U-shaped rod 7 located at the lower end of the placement basket 8 is fixedly connected to an upper sealing block 18 that can extend into the circular through hole. The bottom of the upper sealing block 18 is fixedly connected to a lower sealing plate 17 located below the partition plate 6.
[0032] The partition plate 6 is generally shaped like a frustum.
[0033] The outer wall of the rinsing cylinder 1 is provided with a drain pipe 22 that communicates with the inner cavity of the rinsing cylinder 1 and is located above the partition plate 6.
[0034] In this embodiment, when the placement basket 8 is located in the inner cavity of the rinsing tube 1 and the U-shaped rod 7 is fixed to the rinsing tube 1, the upper sealing block 18 extends into the circular through hole of the partition plate 6, and the lower sealing plate 17 is attached to the bottom of the partition plate 6. At this time, water is discharged from the rinsing tube 1 through the rinsing pipe 5 to rinse the oral impression in the placement basket 8, and the water generated during rinsing can be easily discharged through the drain pipe 22.
[0035] After the oral impression is rinsed, the U-shaped rod 7 is released from its fixation. By moving the U-shaped rod 7 downward, the upper sealing block 18 and the lower sealing plate 17 move downward, and the placement basket 8 moves into the disinfection cylinder 2. Disinfectant is injected into the disinfection cylinder 2, which facilitates the immersion and disinfection of the oral impression. At this time, the top inner wall of the U-shaped rod 7 can contact the top of the rinsing cylinder 1, so that the U-shaped rod 7 is suspended.
[0036] Specifically, one side of the annular pipe 4 is connected to a water inlet pipe 20 that communicates with its inner cavity.
[0037] In this embodiment, the water inlet pipe 20 is equipped with a valve and connected to an external water source. The water inlet pipe 20 is a ring pipe 4 that delivers water to the flushing pipe 5.
[0038] Specifically, the disinfection cylinder 2 is cone-shaped.
[0039] The bottom of the disinfection cylinder 2 is provided with a drain pipe 19.
[0040] In this embodiment, the drain pipe 19 is equipped with a corresponding valve.
[0041] In summary, this oral impression disinfection and rinsing device allows the oral impression to be placed in the placement basket 8, facilitating the rinsing of the impression with water from the rinsing pipe 5. It also allows the placement basket 8 to be moved downwards into the disinfection cylinder 2 for immersion and disinfection of the oral impression with disinfectant. After cleaning, the oral impression can be easily removed from the placement basket 8.
[0042] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
