Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of denture technology, specifically to an ultrasonic cleaning device for dentures. Background Technology
[0002] Existing ultrasonic denture cleaners typically consist of a cup-shaped water tank and a piezoelectric ceramic plate fixed to the bottom of the tank. A control device generates a high-frequency electrical signal to the piezoelectric ceramic plate, causing it to vibrate and clean the dentures. However, this design has drawbacks. The ultrasonic waves are emitted upwards from the bottom of the tank, cleaning only the horizontal, downward-facing side of the denture, leaving the upward-facing side uncleaned. This affects the overall cleaning effectiveness. Furthermore, existing ultrasonic denture cleaners use a controller that outputs a set of high-frequency signals to directly drive the piezoelectric ceramic plate. Due to the small size of the device, poor heat dissipation, and inconsistent piezoelectric ceramic plate properties, the ceramic plate or the controller's MOSFET is prone to overheating and damage. Therefore, to address these issues, a new ultrasonic denture cleaner is designed to better meet practical usage requirements. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an ultrasonic cleaning device for dentures and braces to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an ultrasonic cleaning device for dentures, comprising a housing and a cleaning water tank, wherein the cleaning water tank is fixed inside the housing, and piezoelectric ceramic plates are symmetrically fixed on the front and back of the cleaning water tank, and a retainer is installed inside the cleaning water tank to fix the dentures.
[0005] Preferably, the housing contains a power interface, a microcontroller, and two sets of control circuits. The power interface and the control switch are electrically connected, and both the power interface and the control switch are mounted on the housing. The control switch can be a mechanical switch or a touch switch. The microcontroller drives the two control circuits to work alternately. Through the above structure, a basic guarantee can be provided for the normal operation of the device.
[0006] Preferably, there is an electrical connection between the piezoelectric ceramic sheet and the control switch, and two piezoelectric ceramic sheets are provided. Through the action of the two piezoelectric ceramic sheets, a basic guarantee can be provided for the double-sided cleaning of dentures.
[0007] Preferably, the fixture has equally spaced strip grooves, and the fixture has a "U" shaped structure. The fixture is made of elastic material. Through the function of the strip grooves, the fixture can reduce the obstruction of ultrasonic waves and ensure the cleaning effect.
[0008] Preferably, anti-slip strips are evenly fixed on the fixture, and the anti-slip strips are in contact with the inner wall of the cleaning tank. Through the action of the anti-slip strips, the friction between the fixture and the cleaning tank can be increased, ensuring the stability of the fixture and the cleaning tank.
[0009] Preferably, the retainer is also fixed with a limiting frame, and the limiting frame contacts the denture aligner to achieve limiting. Through the function of the limiting frame, the denture aligner can be limited, which facilitates the cleaning of the denture aligner.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0011] 1. This ultrasonic cleaning device for dentures features a narrow rectangular structure, making it compact and easy to carry. With two symmetrical piezoelectric ceramic plates, it can clean both sides of the dentures, ensuring thorough cleaning. The detachable retainer not only limits movement during cleaning but also allows for easy drying after cleaning by vertically mounting the retainer, enhancing the device's functionality and better meeting practical needs.
[0012] 2. This ultrasonic cleaning device for dentures adopts a dual-drive mode. The controller alternately outputs two sets of high-frequency signals, which are respectively connected to two piezoelectric ceramic plates. The two piezoelectric ceramic plates and the corresponding control circuit work alternately, which can reduce the continuous working time of the piezoelectric ceramic plates and control circuit, effectively reduce their heat generation, thereby reducing damage to the ceramic plates caused by high temperature. At the same time, it reduces the heat generation of the controller's MOSFET, reducing controller damage. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an ultrasonic cleaning device for dentures, including a shell 1 and a cleaning water tank 4. The cleaning water tank 4 is fixed inside the shell 1. Piezoelectric ceramic plates 401 are symmetrically fixed on the cleaning water tank 4. A retainer 5 is installed inside the cleaning water tank 4 to fix the dentures.
[0020] The outer casing 1 houses a power interface 2, a microcontroller, and two sets of control circuits. The power interface 2 and control switch 3 are electrically connected, and both are mounted on the outer casing 1. The piezoelectric ceramic sheet 401 is electrically connected to the control switch 3, which can be a push-button switch or a touch switch. Two piezoelectric ceramic sheets 401 are provided, each connected to one of the two sets of control circuits. The retainer 5 has evenly spaced slots 501 and a U-shaped structure, made of elastic material. Anti-slip strips 502 are evenly fixed to the retainer 5, contacting the inner wall of the cleaning water tank 4. A limit frame 503 is also fixed to the retainer 5, contacting the denture crown for positioning.
[0021] When using this ultrasonic cleaning device for dentures, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, clean water and an appropriate amount of cleaning solution are added to the cleaning tank 4. At this time, the fixator 5 is horizontally installed in the cleaning tank 4. With the anti-slip effect of the anti-slip strip 502 and the elasticity of the fixator 5 itself, the stability of the fixator 5 installation can be ensured. Then, the denture aligner is installed. With the limiting effect of the limit bracket 503, the stability of the denture aligner can be ensured. Finally, the piezoelectric ceramic plate 401 is driven to work by the control switch 3, the microcontroller and the control circuit, thereby realizing the cleaning effect of the denture aligner. During the cleaning process, the microcontroller drives two sets of control circuits to alternately output high-frequency signals to the two piezoelectric ceramic plates 401. The two sets of control circuits and the piezoelectric ceramic plates 401 work alternately, which can not only ensure the thoroughness of the denture aligner cleaning, but also reduce the continuous working time of the control circuit and the piezoelectric ceramic plate 401, effectively reducing their heat generation, thereby reducing the damage to the piezoelectric ceramic plate 401 caused by high temperature. At the same time, it reduces the heat generation of the MOS tube of the control circuit and reduces control damage.
[0022] After cleaning, remove the denture cover and pour out the wastewater in the cleaning tank 4. Then, use the elasticity of the retainer 5 to disassemble the retainer 5 and install the retainer 5 vertically with the open side of the retainer 5 facing upwards. Place the denture cover on the retainer 5 to achieve the function of draining and drying the denture cover, so as to better meet the actual use needs. This is the working principle of the ultrasonic cleaning device for denture covers.
