[0049] like Figure 1-6 The image shows an integrated brace processing machine according to this embodiment, which enables automatic and continuous processing of braces. The integrated brace processing machine includes a diaphragm conveying device 1, a feeding device 2, a heating device 3, a molding device 4, and a discharging device 5. The diaphragm conveying device 1 includes a turntable 11, a support assembly, and a drive assembly 111. The turntable 11 is mounted on a base via bearings, allowing it to rotate around its central axis. In a specific arrangement, the central axis of the turntable 11 extends vertically. Several sets of support assemblies are spaced apart circumferentially on the turntable 11 to support and position the diaphragms. Feeding stations, heating stations, molding stations, and discharging stations are sequentially arranged around the outer periphery of the turntable 11. The drive assembly 111 is mounted on the base to drive the turntable 11 to rotate around its central axis, thereby causing the support assemblies to sequentially pass through the feeding station, heating station, molding station, and discharging station. The aforementioned drive component 111 is a conventional component or device of the prior art, preferably a gear drive mechanism.

[0050] Specifically, the aforementioned support components include a carrier plate 12, an opening / closing plate 15, and an opening / closing actuator 17. The carrier plate 12 is fixedly mounted on the turntable 11, and a positioning countersunk hole 13 adapted to the outer diameter of the diaphragm is machined on the carrier plate 12 so that the diaphragm can be confined within the positioning hole. A first working hole 14 is machined at the bottom of the positioning countersunk hole 13. Through the first working hole 14, the associated device can contact the diaphragm inside the positioning countersunk hole 13 from below the carrier plate 12. The aforementioned opening / closing plate 15 is hinged to the turntable 11 and located on one side of the carrier plate 12, having a pressing position that covers the top of the positioning countersunk hole 13 from above the carrier plate 12, and a releasing position away from the positioning countersunk hole 13. A second working hole 16 is provided on the opening / closing plate 15 corresponding to the first working hole 14. When in the clamping position, the first working perforation 14 and the second working perforation 16 are vertically aligned, and the edge of the diaphragm within the positioning countersunk hole 13 can be clamped by the opening and closing plate 15 to be positioned and fixed within the positioning countersunk hole 13. The aforementioned opening and closing actuator 17 is fixed on the turntable 11 to drive the opening and closing plate 15 to switch back and forth between the clamping position and the releasing position. This opening and closing actuator 17 is a conventional component of the prior art and can be a cylinder, electric push rod, etc., and its connection method with the opening and closing plate 15 is the prior art.

[0051] In this embodiment, the aforementioned feeding device 2 is fixed on the base and arranged corresponding to the feeding station for conveying the film to the carrier component. Specifically, the feeding device 2 includes a first vacuum adsorption component 21, a first driver 22, and a second driver 23; wherein, the first vacuum adsorption component 21 has an adsorption surface capable of adsorbing the film. The first vacuum adsorption component 21 is fixed to the driving end of the first driver 22 for driving the first vacuum adsorption component 21 to move back and forth in a linear direction. The driving ends of the first driver 22 and the second driver 23 are fixedly connected, and the driving end of the second driver 23 rotates around the rotation center axis. The second driver 23 is used to drive the first driver 22 to rotate around the rotation center axis between a first position and a second position. When the aforementioned carrier component moves to the loading station, and when the first driver 22 moves to the first position, the adsorption surface of the first vacuum adsorption component 21 is arranged facing the positioning countersunk hole 13 on the carrier component. Driven by the first driver 22, the adsorption surface of the first vacuum adsorption component 21 moves to a position close to the positioning countersunk hole 13, so as to place the adsorbed film into the positioning countersunk hole 13, thereby completing the film loading operation.

[0052] The first vacuum adsorption component 21 described above is a conventional component or device of the prior art, comprising a vacuum adsorption disk and a vacuum pumping device. The first actuator 22 is a linear drive mechanism of the prior art, preferably a linear cylinder, and the second actuator 23 is preferably a rotary cylinder of the prior art.

[0053] In this embodiment, the integrated brace processing machine also includes a diaphragm hopper 9. This diaphragm hopper 9 is used to store diaphragms. The diaphragm hopper 9 is arranged at an angle to the side of the feeding device 2, and its interior has a storage space 91 for stacking diaphragms. This storage space 91 is also arranged at an angle, and its inner diameter matches the outer diameter of the diaphragm. When a lower layer of diaphragm is removed from the storage space 91, an upper layer of diaphragm can automatically move downwards within the storage space 91 to replenish it. The lower end of the diaphragm hopper 9 is machined with a discharge port communicating with the storage space 91. The inner diameter of this discharge port is smaller than the outer diameter of the diaphragm. By rationally designing the inner diameter of the discharge port, the diaphragm can be moved out of the discharge port after slight deformation under force. When the aforementioned second actuator 23 moves to the second position, the adsorption surface of the first vacuum adsorption component 21 faces the discharge port. Driven by the first driver 22, the adsorption surface of the first vacuum adsorption component 21 moves closer to the discharge port to adsorb the bottom layer of the film in the hopper. Then, the first driver 22 drives the first vacuum adsorption component 21 away from the discharge port to remove the film from the discharge port, thereby automatically realizing the film gripping operation.

[0054] In this embodiment, the aforementioned heating device 3 is fixed on the base and arranged corresponding to the heating station for heating the diaphragm located on the support assembly. The heating device 3 includes a heating element 31 and a heating element driver 32. The heating element 31 is vertically mounted above the turntable 11 and has a heating surface on its bottom surface. The heating element driver 32 is connected to the heating element 31 to drive the heating element 31 to move vertically. When the support assembly moves to the heating station, the heating surface of the heating element 31 faces the diaphragm on the support assembly, and the heating element 31, driven by the driver, has a heating position where the heating surface contacts the diaphragm on the support assembly, and a disengagement position where the heating surface moves away from the diaphragm. In this heating position, the heating element 31 heats the diaphragm, causing the diaphragm to heat up.

[0055] The aforementioned molding device 4 is fixed on the base and arranged corresponding to the molding station, used to press the diaphragm on the support component into a dental brace structure. Specifically, the molding device 4 includes a lower mold 43, an upper mold 41, a lower mold driver 46, an upper mold driver 47, an upper and lower drive assembly 111, and a vacuum device. The lower mold 43 is arranged on the lower side of the support component, and the upper mold is arranged on the upper side of the support component. When the upper mold 41 and the lower mold 43 move relative to each other, they have a closed mold position where they are close to each other vertically, and an open mold position where they are far apart vertically. The upper and lower drive assembly 111 is used to drive the upper mold 41 and the lower mold 43 to switch between the closed mold position and the open mold position. The lower mold 43 has a support position 44 for supporting and positioning the dental brace model. According to the structural characteristics of the dental brace model, corresponding positioning holes are machined on the support position 44 to position the molded model. Several negative pressure holes 45 are distributed on the lower mold 43 at the support position 44. An open-bottomed receiving space 411 is machined inside the upper mold 41. When the aforementioned support assembly moves to the molding station and in the mold-closing position, the diaphragm on the support assembly presses against the upper mold 41 and the lower mold 43, and the support position 44 seals over the inside of the receiving space 411. Through the above structural design, when in the mold-closing position, the dental model on the support position 44 can lift the diaphragm and seal it over the inside of the receiving space 411. The aforementioned vacuum device is connected to the negative pressure hole 45 to perform a vacuum operation, so that the diaphragm located in the receiving space 411 is adsorbed onto the dental model.

[0056] The aforementioned die-forming apparatus 4 further includes a platform 42 and a platform 42 driver. The up-and-down driving assembly 111 includes a lower die driver 46 and an upper die driver 47. The lower die driver 46 drives the lower die 43 to move up and down. The upper die driver 47 is connected to the upper die 41 to drive the upper die 41 to move up and down. A positioning groove adapted to the upper die 41 is machined on the top surface of the platform 42. A through hole is machined at the bottom of the positioning groove. The platform 42 is arranged on a base and can move horizontally. The lower die 43 is arranged within the positioning groove. The platform 42 driver is mounted on the base and drives the platform 42 and the lower die 43 to move in a straight line between the die entry station and the die exit station. The platform 42 driver is a conventional linear motion mechanism of the prior art. The aforementioned lower die driver 46 is arranged corresponding to the die entry station and is fixed below the platform 42. A magnetic suction element 461 is mounted on the driving end of the lower die driver 46. The magnetic suction element 461 is preferably a magnet. When the stage 42 moves to the mold entry position, the drive end of the lower mold driver 46 enters and exits the positioning groove through the through hole, so as to have a magnetic attraction state that allows the magnetic suction member 461 to attract the lower mold 43, and to drive the lower mold 43 up and down in the positioning groove in the magnetic attraction state, so as to switch between the demolding position and the mold closing position. Among them, when the stage 42 moves to the mold exit position, the dental brace model can be placed into the bearing position 44.

[0057] In this embodiment, the aforementioned unloading device 5 is arranged corresponding to the unloading station and is used to obtain the dental brace structure located on the supporting component. Specifically, the unloading device 5 includes a second vacuum adsorption component 51, a third actuator 52, and a fourth actuator 53. The second vacuum adsorption component 51 has an adsorption surface capable of adsorbing the dental brace structure. The second vacuum adsorption component 51 is fixed to the driving end of the third actuator 52 to drive the second vacuum adsorption component 51 to move back and forth in a linear direction. The driving ends of the third actuator 52 and the fourth actuator 53 are fixedly connected, and the driving end of the fourth actuator 53 rotates around the rotation center axis. The fourth actuator 53 is used to drive the third actuator 52 to rotate between a third position and a fourth position around the rotation center axis. When the aforementioned carrier component moves to the unloading station, and when the fourth driver 53 moves to the third position, the adsorption surface of the second vacuum adsorption component 51 is arranged facing the positioning countersunk hole 13 on the carrier component. Driven by the third driver 52, the adsorption surface of the second vacuum adsorption component 51 moves to a position close to the positioning countersunk hole 13 to adsorb the dental brace structure. Then, the third driver 52 drives the second vacuum adsorption component 51 away from the carrier component to move the dental brace structure out of the positioning countersunk hole 13, thereby completing the unloading operation of the dental brace structure.

[0058] The second vacuum adsorption component 51 is a conventional component or device of the prior art, comprising a vacuum adsorption disk and a vacuum pumping device. The third actuator 52 is a linear drive mechanism of the prior art, preferably a linear cylinder, and the fourth actuator 53 is preferably a rotary cylinder of the prior art.

[0059] This embodiment of the integrated brace processing machine includes a robot 6 with a movable arm 61, a gripping mechanism 62 mounted on the movable arm 61 for gripping and releasing brace structures, a vision recognition device 7, a laser marking device, and a cutting device 8. The robot is a six-axis robot. The gripping mechanism 62 is a prior art vacuum suction cup assembly, which is used to adsorb brace structures. The movable arm 61 is configured to move back and forth between a material unloading station, a vision recognition station, a laser marking station, and a cutting station. When the movable arm 61 moves to the material unloading station, the fourth actuator 53 moves to the fourth position, causing the brace structure on the second vacuum suction assembly 51 to be positioned upwards. The movable arm 61 then moves the gripping mechanism 62 to grip the brace structure on the second vacuum suction assembly 51. The vision recognition device 7 is positioned corresponding to the vision recognition station and includes a camera. When the movable arm 61 moves the brace structure to the vision recognition station, the vision recognition device 7 is used to identify information about the brace structure on the gripping mechanism 62. The laser marking device corresponds to the laser marking station arrangement and is a conventional device in existing technology. When the movable arm 61 moves the dental brace structure to the laser marking station, it is used to mark the dental brace structure on the gripping mechanism 62. The aforementioned cutting device 8 corresponds to the cutting station arrangement and has a rotating cutting end. When the movable arm 61 moves to the cutting station, the gripping mechanism 62 moves synchronously to the cutting station. The movable arm 61 cooperates with the cutting device 8 and cuts the dental brace structure on the gripping mechanism 62 according to a preset movement trajectory. The movement trajectory of the movable arm 61 is controlled by a program.

[0060] In practical use, at the molding station, the dental aligner model is manually placed into the bearing position 44 on the lower mold 43, and the platform 42 moves the dental aligner model to the mold entry station. At the loading station, the loading device 2 adsorbs the diaphragm in the hopper and conveys it to the positioning countersunk hole 13 on the carrier plate 12, driving the opening and closing plate 15 to move to the pressing position to position and fix the diaphragm in the positioning countersunk hole 13. The diaphragm is then conveyed to the heating station. At the heating station, the heating element 31 is driven to move downward to contact the surface of the diaphragm to heat and soften it. The diaphragm is then conveyed to the molding station. At the molding station, the lower mold driver 46 magnetically attracts the lower mold 43 and pushes it upward, and drives the upper mold 41 downward to reach the mold closing position. Then, a vacuum is drawn by the vacuuming device, causing the diaphragm to adhere to the dental aligner model. The upper mold 41 and lower mold 43 are then driven to separate to the mold opening position, so that the diaphragm is formed into a dental sleeve structure. The lower mold 43 enters the positioning groove, and the lower mold driver 46 disengages from the lower mold 43. The dental sleeve structure is then conveyed to the unloading station. At the unloading station, the opening and closing plate 15 is driven to switch to the release position to release the dental sleeve structure. The unloading device 5 picks up the dental sleeve structure in the positioning countersunk hole 13 and moves it out of the positioning countersunk hole 13. The movable arm 61 drives the gripping mechanism 62 to pick up the dental sleeve structure on the unloading device 5, and then sequentially performs corresponding operations through the vision recognition device 7, the laser marking device, and the cutting device 8. Finally, the gripping mechanism 62 releases the dental sleeve structure at the finished product station to complete the operation. In the above method, the positioning, fixing, and releasing of the diaphragm can be automatically realized through the bearing component, so that the diaphragm is placed stably and reliably, which helps to improve the accuracy of the diaphragm in the processing process. It also enables continuous transfer of diaphragms between workstations, and allows for continuous automatic feeding, heating, pressing, and unloading of diaphragms. The combination of these methods enables continuous operation in brace manufacturing, reducing manual intervention, achieving a high degree of automation, and effectively meeting the processing needs of braces.
