[0002] Metal-ceramic brackets are an advanced device used in orthodontic treatment, combining the strength of metal with the aesthetics of ceramic. These brackets are commonly used to correct misaligned or malaligned teeth, providing patients with a sturdy yet relatively discreet option. The metal portion of the metal-ceramic bracket ensures the device's durability and excellent transmission of corrective forces, while the ceramic portion, due to its color closely resembling natural teeth, helps reduce the conspicuous appearance of traditional metal brackets, thus meeting the aesthetic needs of many patients. Furthermore, compared to pure ceramic brackets, the combination of metal and ceramic reduces costs to some extent and minimizes the risk of ceramic materials breaking.

[0003] In the production of metal-ceramic trays, in order to ensure the quality of the metal-ceramic trays, the complex-shaped metal-ceramic trays are polished. However, the existing polishing equipment requires manual loading and unloading, which is inconvenient and indirectly affects the processing efficiency of the metal-ceramic trays.

[0009] Furthermore, the filter plate is longitudinally slidably installed inside the suction pipe, and the filter plate is in the shape of an inverted V. The suction pipe is provided with a shaking part for the filter plate to rise and fall.

[0010] Furthermore, the shaking part includes a horizontal shaft rotatably connected inside the suction pipe, a cam is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the horizontal shaft, a support plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the filter plate, the outer wall of the cam is attached to the bottom of the support plate, and a drive motor for driving the horizontal shaft to rotate is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the suction pipe.

[0011] Furthermore, a bracket is fixedly connected to the top of the filter plate, and a top rod facing the air vent is fixedly connected to the top of the bracket.

[0012] Furthermore, the diameter of the top rod is half the diameter of the vent hole.

[0013] Furthermore, the vacuum tube is provided with cleaning ports on both sides, and the ports of the cleaning ports are equipped with covers.

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0027] Example: Refer to Figures 1-5 A precision metal-ceramic tray polishing machine includes a frame 1 and a vibratory feeder 2 for conveying the metal-ceramic trays, fixedly installed on the side of the frame 1. The output end of the vibratory feeder 2 is fixedly connected to a downwardly inclined conveying pool 3, which vibrates synchronously with the output end of the vibratory feeder 2. A polishing device 4 is fixedly installed on the frame 1 above the conveying pool 3. The polishing device 4 uses laser polishing, and its main component is a pulsed nanosecond fiber laser. A positioning component for zero-time fixing of the metal-ceramic trays is set on both sides of the conveying pool 3 and located below the polishing device 4. The positioning component includes device grooves 5 set on the inner walls of both sides of the conveying pool 3. Clamping plates 6 are slidably installed in both device grooves 5. A telescopic device 7 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the conveying pool 3. The telescopic device 7 is an electric telescopic rod, and the telescopic end of the telescopic device 7 extends into the device groove 5 and is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 6.

[0028] In use, the metal-ceramic trays to be polished are placed in the vibratory feeder 2, and then the vibratory feeder 2 is started. The vibratory feeder 2 will then transport multiple metal-ceramic trays one by one into the conveying pool 3, and finally discharge them from the bottom of the conveying pool 3. When the metal-ceramic trays move to the bottom of the polishing equipment 4, the telescopic device 7 drives the clamping plates 6 on both sides to move closer to each other until they clamp the moving metal-ceramic trays. Then the polishing equipment 4 completes the polishing work. Then the telescopic device 7 drives the two clamping plates 6 to move away from each other, and the metal-ceramic trays can continue to be transported to the end of the conveying pool 3. This can automatically realize the loading, polishing and unloading of metal-ceramic trays, significantly improving the processing efficiency of metal-ceramic trays.

[0029] The bottom of the aforementioned conveying pool 3 is provided with air holes 8. There are multiple air holes 8, and this application preferably uses 9. A suction pipe 9 facing the air holes 8 is fixedly connected to the frame 1. A fan 10 is installed at the output end of the suction pipe 9. A filter plate 11 for filtering dust is installed inside the suction pipe 9. The filter plate 11 is slidably installed in the suction pipe 9, and the filter plate 11 is in the shape of an inverted V. A shaking part for lifting and lowering the filter plate 11 is provided inside the suction pipe 9. The shaking part includes a horizontal shaft 13 rotatably connected inside the suction pipe 9. A cam 14 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the horizontal shaft 13. A support plate 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the filter plate 11. The outer wall of the cam 14 is attached to the bottom of the support plate 15. A drive motor 12 for driving the horizontal shaft 13 to rotate is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the suction pipe 9.

[0030] Specifically, during processing, the blower 10 is started, which causes the suction pipe 9 to draw air into the air hole 8. The air hole 8 then draws the dust generated during the polishing process into the suction pipe 9 and then discharges it from the exhaust end of the suction pipe 9. The filter plate 11 can filter out the dust that has been drawn in, which can prevent dust from polluting the surrounding air on the one hand, and automatically complete the dust collection work on the other hand.

[0031] During vacuuming, the drive motor 12 is started, which drives the horizontal shaft 13 to rotate. The horizontal shaft 13 drives the cam 14 to rotate, and the cam 14 indirectly lifts the support plate 15 upward. The support plate 15 indirectly lifts the filter plate 11 upward, and the filter plate 11 shakes up and down, which shakes the dust on the surface to both sides, ensuring the efficiency of the filter plate 11 filtration process.

[0032] A bracket 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the filter plate 11, and a top rod 17 facing the air hole 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the bracket 16. The diameter of the top rod 17 is half the diameter of the air hole 8.

[0033] During the vacuuming process, the up-and-down shaking filter plate 11 will also drive the top rod 17 to shake up and down through the bracket 16. The top rod 17 will be inserted into the air hole 8 intermittently, which can keep the air hole 8 unobstructed and also lift the metal ceramic tray in the conveying pool 3, making it easier for the dust generated during polishing to be sucked away by the air hole 8. In order to prevent affecting the polishing work, the drive motor 12 needs to be started after the polishing is completed.

[0034] The above-mentioned suction pipe 9 has cleaning ports 18 on both sides, and the ports of the cleaning ports 18 are equipped with covers 19. When it is necessary to clean the dust, open the covers 19 and then clean the filter plate 11 from the cleaning ports 18.

[0035] This precision metal-ceramic tray polishing machine operates by placing the metal-ceramic tray to be polished into the vibratory feeder 2 and then starting the vibratory feeder 2. The vibratory feeder 2 then sequentially transports multiple metal-ceramic trays into the conveying pool 3, where they are finally discharged from the bottom. When the metal-ceramic tray moves to the bottom of the polishing device 4, the telescopic device 7 drives the clamping plates 6 on both sides to move closer together until they clamp the moving metal-ceramic tray. The polishing device 4 then completes the polishing process. Afterward, the telescopic device 7 moves the two clamping plates 6 away from each other, and the metal-ceramic tray continues to be transported to the end of the conveying pool 3. This process automatically realizes the loading, polishing, and unloading of metal-ceramic trays, significantly improving the processing efficiency of metal-ceramic trays.

[0036] During processing, the blower 10 is started, which causes the suction pipe 9 to draw air into the air hole 8. The air hole 8 draws the dust generated during the polishing process into the suction pipe 9 and then discharges it from the exhaust end of the suction pipe 9. The filter plate 11 can filter out the dust that has been drawn in, which can prevent dust from polluting the surrounding air and can also automatically complete the dust collection work.

[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-described technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
