Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2This utility model embodiment provides a dental prosthesis carving machine, including a carving machine body 200 and a tool magazine 100, with the tool magazine 100 connected to the carving machine body 200. It is understood that the tool magazine 100 in the dental prosthesis carving machine allows for quick replacement of the cutting tools 102, avoiding the time wasted by frequent tool changes during production, thereby improving production efficiency. Specifically, the tool magazine 100 can store various types of cutting tools 102 to meet different processing needs. For example, during dental prosthesis carving, tools 102 of different shapes, sizes, and materials may be needed to handle different carving tasks. The existence of the tool magazine 100 allows dentists to quickly select the appropriate cutting tool 102 as needed, thus ensuring processing quality.

[0034] Please see Figures 3 to 7 The aforementioned tool magazine 100 is provided with a plurality of tool insertion holes 101 for inserting tools 102. At least a portion of the wall of each tool insertion hole 101 is made of an elastic material. When a tool 102 is inserted into the tool insertion hole 101, the elastic material and the tool 102 are in an interference fit. Specifically, the elastic material can be a rubber-based material, such as styrene-butadiene rubber, butadiene rubber, neoprene rubber, etc.; the elastic material can also be a thermoplastic elastomer material, such as SBS, SEBS, TPV, TPU, etc.; the elastic material can also be silicone. It should be noted that this is only a small list of possible elastic materials, and the types of elastic materials that can be selected are not limited. In other embodiments, other elastic materials with the same elasticity as the aforementioned rubber, thermoplastic elastomer, and silicone materials can also be selected.

[0035] In this embodiment, the elastic material can cover the entire wall of the insert hole 101, or it can only cover a portion of the wall of the insert hole 101. When the tool 102 is inserted into the insert hole 101, the tool 102 will squeeze the elastic material portion of the insert hole 101 wall apart. Due to the elastic deformation capability and rebound force inherent in the elastic material itself, it will provide a reverse squeezing force to the tool 102, so that the tool 102 is stably inserted into the insert hole 101. It should be emphasized that this embodiment utilizes the properties of the elastic material used to manufacture the tool magazine 100 to achieve the purpose of stably positioning the inserted tool 102, reducing the space required in the tool magazine 100 for the mechanical clamping structure during the design stage, thereby reducing the overall design volume of the tool magazine 100, which is more in line with the requirements of high efficiency, compactness and precision machining in the modern dental prosthesis carving field.

[0036] Furthermore, the tool magazine 100 includes a tool holder 110 and a tool inserting block 120. The tool inserting block 120 is disposed on the tool holder 110, and the tool inserting hole 101 consists of a first inserting hole 121 formed on the tool inserting block 120 and a second inserting hole 111 formed on the tool holder 110. The first inserting hole 121 and the second inserting hole 111 are coaxial. Both the tool holder 110 and the tool inserting block 120 can be made of elastic material to ensure that the first inserting hole 121 and / or the second inserting hole 111 provide effective and stable positioning for the inserted tool 102.

[0037] In the first embodiment, the insert block 120 is made of an elastic material. When the cutter 102 is inserted into the insert hole 101, the first insert hole 121 and the cutter 102 are in an interference fit. In this embodiment, the insert block 120 is made of an elastic material, while the insert holder 110 is made of another material. Therefore, when the cutter 102 is inserted into the insert hole 101, it will be subjected to the action of the elastic material in the first insert hole 121, resulting in an interference fit with the first insert hole 121. However, it will not be subjected to the action of the elastic material in the second insert hole 111. It should be considered that the interference fit between the elastic material and the cutter 102 may be damaged during repeated insertion and removal of the cutter 102. Therefore, in this embodiment, only the insert block 120 is made of an elastic material, which facilitates later maintenance. When the insert block 120 is damaged, a new insert block 120 can be directly replaced and installed on the insert holder 110.

[0038] In the second embodiment, the insert holder 110 is made of an elastic material. When the cutter 102 is inserted into the insert hole 101, the second insert hole 111 and the cutter 102 are in an interference fit. In this embodiment, the insert holder 110 is made of an elastic material, while the insert block 120 is made of another material. Therefore, when the cutter 102 is inserted into the insert hole 101, it is not affected by the elastic material in the first insert hole 121, but is affected by the elastic material in the second insert hole 111, resulting in an interference fit. It should be considered that the interference fit between the elastic material and the cutter 102 may be damaged during repeated insertions and removals of the cutter 102. Therefore, in this embodiment, only the insert holder 110 is made of an elastic material, which facilitates later maintenance. When the insert holder 110 is damaged, a new insert holder 110 can be directly replaced and assembled with the original insert block 120.

[0039] In the third embodiment, both the insert holder 110 and the insert block 120 are made of elastic materials. When the cutter 102 is inserted into the insert hole 101, both the first insertion hole 121 and the second insertion hole 111 are interference-fitted with the cutter 102. In this embodiment, the use of elastic materials for both the insert holder 110 and the insert block 120 increases the contact area between the elastic material and the inserted cutter 102, thus enhancing the stability of the cutter 102 within the insert hole 101.

[0040] Furthermore, the inserter holder 110 is provided with a mounting groove 112 on the side facing the insertion of the cutter 102, and the second insertion hole 111 is opened from the bottom of the mounting groove 112 along the insertion direction of the cutter 102; the shape of the inserter block 120 matches the mounting groove 112, the inserter block 120 is embedded in the mounting groove 112, and the first insertion hole 121 on the inserter block 120 and the second insertion hole 111 on the inserter holder 110 correspond one-to-one along the insertion direction of the cutter 102.

[0041] Furthermore, in order to enhance the stability of the insert block 120 installed on the insert holder 110, the tool magazine 100 also includes a pressure plate 130, which is connected to the insert holder 110. The insert block 120 is clamped between the pressure plate 130 and the insert holder 110. The pressure plate 130 is provided with a window 131, through which the insertion port of the first insertion hole 121 is exposed.

[0042] Specifically, the insert block 120 has a first step 122 on the side away from the insert holder 110, and the inner periphery of the window 131 has a second step 132 facing the insert block 120. The second step 132 presses against the first step 122, so that the insert block 120 is tightly pressed between the pressure plate 130 and the insert holder 110, preventing the insert block 120 from shifting during use, and ensuring that the first insertion hole 121 and the second insertion hole 111 are precisely aligned.

[0043] Furthermore, the pressure plate 130 is detachably fixed to the inserter holder 110 by screws. When it is necessary to maintain the inserter block 120 and / or the inserter holder 110, the pressure plate 130 can be removed to take the inserter block 120 out of the mounting slot 112 of the inserter holder 110, which is convenient and quick.

[0044] The above examples are merely illustrative of the technical content of this utility model to facilitate reader understanding, but do not imply that the implementation of this utility model is limited to these embodiments. Any technical extensions or re-creations made based on this utility model are protected by this utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the claims.
