[0012] 1. The continuous feeding device for dental implant processing according to this utility model allows titanium rods to be placed in the feeding box through the opening at the top of the feeding box. A servo motor drives the feeding roller to rotate inside the mounting cylinder. When the feeding groove on the side of the feeding roller corresponds to the feeding box, the titanium rod in the feeding box falls and is stored in the feeding groove. Then it moves with the rotation of the feeding roller. During this process, the mounting cylinder constrains the titanium rod in the feeding groove. When the titanium rod moves to the discharge port on the bottom side of the mounting cylinder, the titanium rod in the feeding groove falls from the mounting cylinder into the feeding frame through the discharge port. Under the guidance of the inclined feeding frame, it moves to the limiting plate and is limited by the limiting plate.

[0014] 3. The continuous feeding device for dental implant processing in this utility model example controls the operation of the second motor, which drives the second guide wheel to rotate. The rotating second guide wheel pushes the titanium rod from the feed rack to the lathe under the action of friction, so as to facilitate the continuous preparation of the implant by the lathe.

Preferably, a feeding port is opened on the upper part of the side of the mounting cylinder 1, a feeding box 3 is fixed on the side of the mounting cylinder 1 near the feeding port, the top of the feeding box 3 is open, a discharge port is opened on the lower part of the side of the mounting cylinder 1, and a feeding rack 5 is installed on the side of the mounting cylinder 1 near the discharge port, the feeding rack 5 is inclined downward, and a limit plate 6 is installed on the side of the feeding rack 5 away from the mounting cylinder 1.

[0023] Titanium rods are placed in the feeding box 3 through the opening at the top of the feeding box 3. The servo motor 4 drives the feeding roller 2 to rotate inside the mounting cylinder 1. When the feeding groove on the side of the feeding roller 2 corresponds to the feeding box 3, the titanium rods in the feeding box 3 fall and are stored in the feeding groove. Then, they move with the rotation of the feeding roller 2. During this process, the mounting cylinder 1 constrains the titanium rods in the feeding groove. When the titanium rods move to the discharge port on the bottom side of the mounting cylinder 1, the titanium rods in the feeding groove fall from the mounting cylinder 1 through the discharge port onto the feeding frame 5. Under the guidance of the inclined feeding frame 5, they move to the limiting plate 6 and are limited by the limiting plate 6. The continuous discharge of titanium rods can be achieved by driving the feeding roller 2 to rotate inside the mounting cylinder 1 by the servo motor 4, which facilitates the processing and preparation of implants.

[0024] A pushing component is installed on the outside of the mounting cylinder 1, located above the feeding frame 5. The height of the pushing component is adjustable. A positioning frame 7 is fixed on the side of the mounting cylinder 1. A movable frame 8 that can be raised and lowered is provided below the positioning frame 7. By adjusting the height of the movable frame 8, it is easy for the pushing component to contact the titanium rod on the feeding frame 5 for feeding. The pushing component includes a moving component and a feeding component. The moving component is located at one end of the moving frame 8, and the feeding component is located at the other end of the moving frame 8. The moving component is located in the middle of the mounting cylinder 1. The moving component pushes the titanium rod to the position of the feeding component. Then, the feeding component pushes the titanium rod to the lathe to assist in feeding the titanium rod, which facilitates the processing and preparation of the implant.

[0025] The moving component includes a first guide wheel 11 rotatably mounted on the side of the moving frame 8. A first motor 12 is mounted on the side of the moving frame 8 to drive the first guide wheel 11 to rotate. The first motor 12 controls the operation of the first guide wheel 11 to rotate. The rotating first guide wheel 11 pushes the titanium rod to move on the moving frame 8 under the action of friction, which facilitates the contact between the titanium rods to be fed later and the titanium rods in front, reduces the gap between the titanium rods, and facilitates continuous feeding during implant processing.

[0026] A photoelectric switch 15 is installed at the end of the limit plate 6. The detection end of the photoelectric switch 15 is located above the feed rack 5. The output end of the photoelectric switch 15 is electrically connected to the input end of the first motor 12. The photoelectric switch 15 is used to detect the position of the titanium rod. When there is a titanium rod at the detection end of the photoelectric switch 15, the photoelectric switch 15 is in standby mode. When the titanium rod is transported to the lathe and removed from the position of the photoelectric switch 15, the photoelectric switch 15 controls the first motor 12 to work, so that the moving component can drive the titanium rod on the feed rack 5 to move onto the lathe.

[0027] The feeding assembly includes a second guide wheel 13 rotatably mounted on the side of the movable frame 8. A second motor 14 is mounted on the side of the movable frame 8 to drive the second guide wheel 13 to move. The second motor 14 controls the operation of the second guide wheel 13 to rotate.

The electric telescopic rod 9 includes, but is not limited to, a servo electric cylinder or an electric hydraulic cylinder. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 9 is fixedly connected to the middle of the side of the moving frame 8. The operation of the electric telescopic rod 9 is controlled, and the moving frame 8 is moved by the electric telescopic rod 9 to facilitate the contact between the pushing component and the titanium rod for pushing and feeding. Guide rods 10 are fixed at both ends of the moving frame 8. The guide rods 10 are slidably connected to the positioning frame 7. During the movement of the moving frame 8, the guide rods 10 play a positioning and guiding role to improve the stability of the moving frame 8.
