Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dental prosthesis cleaning technology, and in particular to a 3D-printed dental prosthesis cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] A 3D-printed denture cleaning device is a specialized piece of equipment used for cleaning, disinfecting, and drying 3D-printed denture products. It is mainly used in dental laboratories, denture manufacturing plants, and digital denture production workshops. Due to the widespread application of 3D printing technology in denture manufacturing, printed dentures often have resin residue, powder adhesion, or fragments of the supporting structure. If not cleaned in time, these residues can affect the precision and aesthetics of the dentures and may also harm the patient's oral health. This device typically uses a composite cleaning structure that combines ultrasonic vibration, water rinsing, high-pressure spraying, and rotating brush head cleaning to efficiently remove impurities and particles from the surface and crevices.
[0003] Existing 3D printed denture cleaning devices generally use a universal clamping structure for fixation, which cannot be flexibly adjusted according to different sizes of cleaning frames. This causes some cleaning frames to loosen or shift during clamping, which not only affects the stability of the denture during cleaning, but may also cause uneven cleaning or secondary contamination, affecting the cleaning effect and safety of use.
[0004] Therefore, given that most existing 3D-printed denture cleaning devices use a fixed clamping structure, which makes it difficult to flexibly adjust according to the size of the cleaning frame, it is easy to cause unstable clamping or displacement, thereby affecting the stability and uniformity of denture cleaning during the cleaning process, increasing the risk of secondary contamination, and reducing the cleaning effect and safety of use, there is an urgent need to design a new type of 3D-printed denture cleaning device. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the problem that existing 3D printed denture cleaning devices mostly use fixed clamping structures, which are difficult to adjust flexibly according to the size of the cleaning frame, and are prone to unstable clamping or displacement, thus affecting the stability and uniformity of denture cleaning during the cleaning process, increasing the risk of secondary contamination, and reducing the cleaning effect and safety of use.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a 3D printed denture cleaning device, including a housing; and a positioning component. The positioning component is set inside the housing, and a movable block is set inside the housing. A lifting frame is connected to the front end of the movable block, a connecting plate is set to the front end of the lifting frame, and a positioning component is set to the front end of the connecting plate. The positioning component includes a base plate, a cleaning frame, a movable groove, a rotating shaft, a rubber rod, an auxiliary plate, a fixing block, a limiting frame, a screw, a knob, and a stop block. The base plate is connected to the lower front end of the connecting plate, and the cleaning frame is movably connected to the top of the base plate. A movable groove is opened at the front end of the base plate, and a rotating shaft is rotatably connected inside the movable groove. An auxiliary plate is connected inside the rotating shaft. The auxiliary plate is L-shaped, and a rubber rod is connected to the top of the auxiliary plate. Fixing blocks are connected to the left and right sides of the bottom of the base plate, and a limiting frame is connected between the two fixing blocks. A screw is driven through the limiting frame, and a knob is connected to the front end of the screw extending to the front of the limiting frame. A stop block is threadedly connected to the outer end of the screw.
[0007] Preferably, by setting a positioning component, the cleaning frame is placed on the base plate and pressed against the connecting plate. Rotating the knob causes the screw to rotate within the limiting frame, thereby causing the abutment block to move within the limiting frame. The movement of the abutment block pushes the auxiliary plate to rotate within the movable groove via the rotating shaft, which in turn causes the rubber rod to squeeze the cleaning frame, achieving the positioning effect. This design can adapt to cleaning frames of different sizes and perform rapid positioning and clamping.
[0008] Preferably, a drain frame is connected to the right side of the inner bottom wall of the housing, and an ultrasonic generator is provided at the right end of the housing.
[0009] Preferably, a water storage frame is connected to the left side of the inner bottom wall of the housing, and a transducer is connected to the left side of the inner side of the water storage frame.
[0010] Preferably, a motor is connected to the upper right side of the housing, and the output end of the motor extends into the housing and is connected to a threaded rod.
[0011] Preferably, the threaded rod is threadedly connected to the movable block, and the movable block is slidably connected to the housing.
[0012] Preferably, the left end of the water storage frame extends to the left side of the shell and is connected to a drain pipe, which is connected to the water storage frame.
[0013] Preferably, a motor is connected to the top of the lifting frame, and the output end of the motor extends into the lifting frame and is connected to a lead screw. The outer end of the lead screw is threadedly connected to a connecting plate. The connecting plate is slidably connected to the lifting frame, the stop block is movably connected to the auxiliary plate, and the stop block is slidably connected to the limit frame.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] 1. By setting up a positioning component, the cleaning frame is placed on the base plate and closely attached to the connecting plate. Rotating the knob causes the screw to rotate within the limiting frame, making the abutment slide along the limiting frame. The pushing action of the abutment causes the auxiliary plate to rotate within the movable groove via the rotating shaft, thereby driving the rubber rod to press the cleaning frame firmly, achieving stable positioning. This structural design can flexibly adapt to cleaning frames of different sizes, facilitating quick clamping and stable fixation. This solves the problem that existing 3D printed denture cleaning devices mostly use fixed clamping structures, which are difficult to adjust flexibly according to the size of the cleaning frame, easily leading to unstable clamping or displacement, thus affecting the stability and uniformity of denture cleaning during the cleaning process, increasing the risk of secondary contamination, and reducing the cleaning effect and safety of use.

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0022] Please see Figures 1-4This utility model provides an embodiment of a 3D printed denture cleaning device, including a housing 1 and a positioning component. The positioning component is located inside the housing 1, and a movable block 21 is also located inside the housing 1. A lifting frame 22 is connected to the front end of the movable block 21, and a connecting plate 25 is located at the front end of the lifting frame 22. The positioning component is located at the front end of the connecting plate 25. The positioning component includes a base plate 31, a cleaning frame 32, a movable groove 33, a rotating shaft 34, a rubber rod 35, an auxiliary plate 36, a fixing block 37, a limiting frame 38, a screw 39, and a knob 310. The lower front end of the connecting plate 25 is connected to the base plate 31, and the cleaning frame 32 is movably connected to the top of the base plate 31. The front end of the base plate 31 has a movable groove 33, and a rotating shaft 34 is rotatably connected inside the movable groove 33. The auxiliary plate 36 is L-shaped and connected inside the rotating shaft 34. A rubber rod 35 is connected to the top of the auxiliary plate 36, and fixing blocks 37 are connected to the left and right sides of the bottom of the base plate 31. A limit frame 38 is connected between the two fixing blocks 37. A screw 39 is connected to the inside of the limit frame 38. The front end of the screw 39 extends to the front side of the limit frame 38 and is connected to a knob 310. A stop block 311 is threadedly connected to the outer end of the screw 39. By setting the positioning component, the cleaning frame 32 is placed on the base plate 31 and pressed against the connecting plate 25. The knob 310 is rotated, and the knob 310 drives the screw 39 to rotate in the limit frame 38, thereby driving the stop block 311 to move in the limit frame 38. The movement of the stop block 311 pushes the auxiliary plate 36 to rotate in the movable groove 33 through the rotating shaft 34, thereby driving the rubber rod 35 to squeeze the cleaning frame 32 to achieve the positioning effect. This design can adapt to cleaning frames 32 of different sizes and perform quick positioning and clamping.
[0023] Please see Figures 1-4 In this embodiment, a drain frame 41 is connected to the right side of the inner bottom wall of the housing 1, and an ultrasonic generator 42 is provided at the right end of the housing 1. The drain frame 41 is used to collect water dripping from the cleaning frame 32. A water storage frame 43 is connected to the left side of the inner bottom wall of the housing 1, and a transducer 44 is connected to the left side of the inside of the water storage frame 43. The ultrasonic generator 42 works in conjunction with the transducer 44 to perform ultrasonic cleaning on the denture. A motor 45 is connected to the upper right side of the housing 1. The output end of the motor 45 extends into the inside of the housing 1 and is connected to a threaded rod 46. The motor 45 drives the threaded rod 46 to rotate, thereby adjusting the position of the positioning component.
[0024] Please see Figures 2-4In this embodiment, the threaded rod 46 is threadedly connected to the movable block 21, and the movable block 21 is slidably connected to the housing 1. The rotation of the threaded rod 46 drives the movable block 21 to move left and right, thereby adjusting the position of the positioning component. The left end of the water storage frame 43 extends to the left side of the housing 1 and is connected to the drain pipe 47. The drain pipe 47 is connected to the water storage frame 43 and can drain the sewage in the water storage frame 43. The top of the lifting frame 22 is connected to the motor 23. The output end of the motor 23 extends into the lifting frame 22 and is connected to the lead screw 24. The outer end of the lead screw 24 is threadedly connected to the connecting plate 25. The connecting plate 25 is slidably connected to the lifting frame 22. The stop block 311 is movably connected to the auxiliary plate 36 and is slidably connected to the limiting frame 38. The motor 23 drives the lead screw 24 to rotate, thereby causing the connecting plate 25 to move vertically in the lifting frame 22, thereby driving the positioning component to move vertically and allowing the positioning component to enter the water storage frame 43.
[0025] During operation, first, select a cleaning frame 32 of appropriate size according to requirements, place the printed denture into the cleaning frame 32, then place the cleaning frame 32 on the base plate 31 and tightly against the connecting plate 25, and rotate the knob 310. The knob 310 drives the screw 39 to rotate in the limiting frame 38, causing the abutment 311 to slide along the limiting frame 38. The pushing action of the abutment 311 causes the auxiliary plate 36 to rotate in the movable groove 33 via the rotating shaft 34, thereby driving the rubber rod 35 to press the cleaning frame 32 firmly, achieving stable positioning. This structural design can flexibly adapt to cleaning frames 32 of different sizes, facilitating... The device is quickly clamped and stabilized. The motor 45 is started, which drives the threaded rod 46 to make the moving block 21 slide inside the housing 1, thereby moving the positioning component left and right. When the positioning component is moved above the water storage frame 43, the motor 23 is started, which drives the lead screw 24 to rotate, thereby making the connecting plate 25 move vertically inside the lifting frame 22, thereby moving the positioning component vertically, so that the positioning component enters the water storage frame 43. The ultrasonic generator 42 is started, which works with the transducer 44 to clean the denture. The drain pipe 47 can be connected to an external water pipe to drain the sewage in the water storage frame 43.
[0026] Through the above steps, by setting the positioning component, the cleaning frame 32 is placed on the base plate 31 and closely attached to the connecting plate 25. Then, the knob 310 is rotated, which drives the screw 39 to rotate in the limiting frame 38, causing the abutment 311 to slide along the limiting frame 38. The pushing action of the abutment 311 causes the auxiliary plate 36 to rotate in the movable groove 33 through the rotating shaft 34, thereby driving the rubber rod 35 to press the cleaning frame 32 and achieve stable positioning. This structural design can flexibly adapt to cleaning frames 32 of different sizes, making it easy to clamp and fix them stably. This solves the problem that existing 3D printed denture cleaning devices mostly use fixed clamping structures, which are difficult to adjust flexibly according to the size of the cleaning frame 32, and are prone to unstable clamping or displacement, thus affecting the stability and cleaning uniformity of the denture during the cleaning process, increasing the risk of secondary contamination, and reducing the cleaning effect and safety of use.
