Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dental prosthesis manufacturing technology, and more specifically, to a dental prosthesis crack detection device. Background Technology
[0002] In current denture manufacturing processes, dentures are often sintered using zirconia. After sintering, the dentures undergo grinding, trimming, polishing, and glazing to obtain the finished product. During grinding and polishing, auxiliary tools such as grinding guns and scrapers are often required, which can easily cause internal cracks in the dentures. In addition, if the zirconia raw material is not sintered properly during the denture sintering process, delamination and cracks can easily form inside the denture. Therefore, after the dentures are ground and shaped, quality inspection and screening are often required to remove dentures with internal cracks caused by improper grinding operations, collisions between dentures, or poor zirconia sintering, in order to ensure the quality of the finished dentures.
[0003] In existing technologies, when operators inspect dentures for cracks, they mainly place the dentures under a spotlight one by one and observe whether there are cracks on the surface of the dentures under the light. This crack detection method has low detection efficiency, and operators cannot detect cracks hidden inside the dentures with the naked eye, resulting in low detection accuracy. There is room for improvement.
[0004] A search revealed that Chinese patent CN221038862U discloses a denture crack detection device. This device, through the coordinated use of a connector, an infrared through-beam sensor (thin-film pressure sensor), a microcontroller, and an ultrasonic flaw detector, can automatically detect the connection between the ultrasonic flaw detector and the connector. When the operator removes the detection probe to inspect for cracks in the denture, the microcontroller automatically controls the ultrasonic flaw detector to start. The operator can directly use the detection probe to detect cracks inside the denture and observe the detection waveform on the ultrasonic flaw detector's display. Based on the detected waveform, the operator can accurately and conveniently understand the cracks inside the denture.
[0005] In actual use, the denture crack detection device requires the operator to manually hold the denture for inspection, which may cause the denture to move or wobble during the inspection process. In addition, manually holding the denture for inspection not only increases the operator's labor intensity, but also requires repeated inspections due to human factors, thereby reducing the inspection efficiency.

The fixing frame 6 is driven to rotate clockwise by the first variable frequency motor 4. At the same time, the fixing frame 6 can drive the denture to rotate. While the fixing frame 6 is rotating, the rotating rod 8 is driven by the second variable frequency motor 7 to drive the first sprocket 10 to rotate. The outer side of the first sprocket 10 is engaged with the chain 11, so that the first sprocket 10 is connected to the second sprocket 12 through the chain 11 to rotate.

Two second slide grooves 21 are opened on the front side of the support frame 2, and the movable frame 20 is slidably connected to the inner side of the second slide grooves 21. A second stepper motor 22 is installed at the top of the movable frame 20, and a second lead screw 23 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second stepper motor 22. The second lead screw 23 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the movable frame 20, and a movable plate 24 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the second lead screw 23. Two guide posts 25 are slidably connected to one side of the movable plate 24, and the guide posts 25 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the movable frame 20. A connector 26 is fixedly connected to the other side of the plate 24. The bottom end of the connector 26 is fixedly connected to the probe head 27.

This allows for adjustment according to dentures of different shapes and sizes during detection, thereby enhancing detection efficiency and flexibility.
[0027] Working principle of this utility model: This utility model designs a denture crack detection device, the specific structure of which is shown in the attached instruction manual. Figure 1-6As shown, in this technical solution, through the cooperation of various structures, when crack detection of the denture is required, one end of the denture is first placed against one side of the first clamping plate 13. Then, the electric push rod 17 is activated, which pushes the moving plate 15 to move. The two first sliding grooves 14 provide guidance for the movement of the moving plate 15, allowing the moving plate 15 to drive the second clamping plate 16 to fit against the other end of the denture. Thus, the first clamping plate 13 and the second clamping plate 16 can clamp the denture. Subsequently, the second stepper motor 22 and the first stepper motor 18 are activated in sequence. The second stepper motor 22 drives the second lead screw 23 to rotate, allowing the second lead screw 23 to drive the movable plate 24 to move downward through the thread. The two guide posts 25 provide guidance for the movement of the movable plate 24, allowing the movable plate 24 to drive the probe head 27 to fit against the denture surface. At the same time, the first stepper motor 18 drives the first lead screw 19 to rotate, and the first lead screw 19 can drive the movable frame 20 to move back and forth left and right through the thread, so as to facilitate the detection of the denture surface. During the detection process, the first variable frequency motor 4 is activated, driving the fixing frame 6 to rotate clockwise, thus rotating the denture. Simultaneously, the second variable frequency motor 7 is activated, driving the rotating rod 8 to rotate, which in turn rotates the first sprocket 10. The outer side of the first sprocket 10 engages with the chain 11, allowing the first sprocket 10 to drive the second sprocket 12 via the chain 11. The second sprocket 12 then rotates the first clamping device. The first clamping plate 13 rotates, clamping the denture through the first clamping plate 13 and the second clamping plate 16. At the same time, the second clamping plate 16 is rotatably connected to one side of the moving plate 15, so that while the fixed frame 6 drives the denture to rotate clockwise, the first clamping plate 13 and the second clamping plate 16 can drive the denture to rotate on its own, allowing the denture to move along more varied trajectories, so that the probe 27 can better detect the surface of the denture. Then the probe 27 can display the detection data on the display screen on the front side of the ultrasonic flaw detector 3.
