Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of zirconia sintering furnace technology, and in particular to a high-temperature zirconia sintering furnace for denture production. Background Technology
[0002] Zirconia all-ceramic crowns are artificial dentures made by sintering zirconia powder at high temperatures. Zirconia all-ceramic crowns have many advantages such as being strong and wear-resistant, having a realistic appearance, and good biocompatibility. Moreover, because they do not contain metal, they do not irritate the gums and do not cause allergic reactions. Therefore, zirconia all-ceramic restoration is a popular trend in international cosmetic dental restoration and is currently a hot topic in the international dental market.
[0003] In existing high-temperature zirconia sintering furnaces used for denture production, zirconia powder and other impurities can adhere to and accumulate on the inner wall of the sintering chamber during the sintering process. These residues not only affect the quality of the subsequently sintered dentures, causing defects and dimensional deviations on the denture surface, but may also shorten the service life of the sintering furnace and increase equipment maintenance costs.

[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0016] This invention provides a high-temperature sintering furnace for denture production using zirconia. It has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] 1. By setting up a cleaning component, the inner wall of the sintering chamber can be automatically cleaned after the sintering process or when cleaning is required, thereby effectively removing the zirconium oxide powder and impurities adhering to the inner wall of the sintering chamber. This avoids the tediousness and inefficiency of manual cleaning, greatly improves cleaning efficiency, and reduces labor costs. In addition, the second electric push rod pushes the lifting plate up and down, causing the slide rod to slide in the sleeve, thereby adjusting the height of the fan. This better controls the flow of hot air inside the sintering furnace, making the temperature distribution more uniform, reducing denture quality problems caused by uneven temperature, and improving the consistency and stability of denture sintering.
[0018] 2. By setting up a quick-release component, when the mold needs to be disassembled, simply apply external force to the locking block through the unlocking hole to overcome the elasticity of the limit spring, allowing the locking block to disengage from the unlocking hole and easily remove the mold from the placement base. During installation, align the locking strip at the bottom of the mold with the corresponding position on the placement base, and the locking block will automatically engage with the unlocking hole under the action of the limit spring, completing the mold installation. The whole process is simple and quick, greatly shortening the mold changeover time and improving production efficiency. In addition, the design of the positioning groove provides a clear guide for mold installation. When installing the mold, the operator only needs to slide the outer wall of the mold along the positioning groove to quickly and accurately place the mold in the correct position, avoiding sintering quality problems caused by mold placement deviation.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0027] Example 1
[0028] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a zirconia high-temperature sintering furnace for denture production, including an operating table 1, a sintering box 2 fixedly connected to the top of the operating table 1, a fan 3 slidably connected to the top of the operating table 1, a placement seat 4 slidably connected to the top of the operating table 1, a mold 5 disposed on the top of the placement seat 4, a cleaning component 6 for cleaning the sintering box 2 disposed on the top of the operating table 1, and a quick-release component 9 for disassembling the mold 5 disposed on the outer wall of the placement seat 4. The cleaning component 6 includes components symmetrically arranged on the top of the operating table 1. The groove 601 has a sleeve 602 fixedly connected inside it. The outer wall of the sleeve 602 is rotatably connected to a gear 603 via a bearing. The sintering box 2 has a second groove 604601 symmetrically opened inside. A cleaning strip 605 is slidably connected to the inner side of the second groove 604601. A second rack 606 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the side of the cleaning strip 605 near the gear 603. The second rack 606 meshes with the outer wall of the gear 603. The operating table 1 is equipped with a drive assembly 7 for driving the gear 603 to rotate.
[0029] Specifically, the drive assembly 7 includes a first groove 701601 symmetrically formed inside the operating table 1. The outer wall of the placement seat 4 is slidably connected to the inner side of the first groove 701601. A first rack 702 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the outer wall of the placement seat 4. The outer wall of the first rack 702 meshes with the outer wall of the gear 603. A first electric push rod 703 is symmetrically fixedly connected inside the first groove 701601. The output end of the first electric push rod 703 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the placement seat 4. An adjustment assembly 8 for adjusting the height of the fan 3 is provided at the bottom of the operating table 1. The adjustment assembly 8 includes symmetrically fixed... A second electric push rod 801 is attached to the bottom of the operating table 1. A lifting plate 802 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second electric push rod 801. A slide rod 803 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the lifting plate 802. The outer wall of the slide rod 803 is slidably connected to the inside of the sleeve. The top of the slide rod 803 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fan 3. A support frame 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the operating table 1. A drive cylinder 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 10. A pressure plate 12 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive cylinder 11. Two support feet 13 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of the operating table 1. Anti-slip pads are fixedly connected to the bottom of the support feet 13.
[0030] Furthermore, when sintering is complete and cleaning of the sintering chamber 2 is required, the first electric push rod 703 is activated. The output end of the first electric push rod 703 begins to extend, pushing the placement seat 4 into the sintering chamber 2 within the first groove 701601. Since the outer wall of the placement seat 4 is symmetrically and fixedly connected to the first rack 702, and the outer wall of the first rack 702 meshes with the outer wall of the gear 603, as the placement seat 4 moves, the first rack 702 drives the gear 603 to rotate around the sleeve 602. Immediately afterwards, the rotation of the gear 603 drives the second rack 606, which meshes with it, to move. The second rack 606 is fixedly connected to the cleaning strip 605, so the cleaning strip 605 slides within the second groove 604601. During the sliding process, the surface of the cleaning strip 605 contacts the inner wall of the sintering chamber 2, scraping off the zirconium oxide powder and impurities adhering to the inner wall, thus achieving automatic cleaning of the sintering chamber 2.
[0031] Example 2
[0032] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5This is the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment. The quick-release component 9 includes a locking strip 901 that is symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of the mold 5. The outer wall of the placement base 4 is symmetrically provided with unlocking holes 902. The locking strip 901 is provided with a sliding hole 903 on the side near the unlocking hole 902. A locking block 904 is slidably connected inside the sliding hole 903. A limiting spring 905 is sleeved on the outer wall of the locking block 904. The outer wall of the locking block 904 is engaged with the inside of the unlocking hole 902. A positioning component 906 for quickly positioning the mold 5 is provided on the top of the placement base 4.
[0033] Specifically, the positioning component 906 includes positioning grooves 9061 symmetrically opened on the top of the placement seat 4, the outer wall of the mold 5 is slidably connected to the inner side of the positioning grooves 9061, and locking grooves 9062 are symmetrically opened on the top of the placement seat 4.
[0034] Furthermore, when it is necessary to install mold 5, the operator picks up mold 5 and aligns the outer wall of mold 5 with the symmetrically opened positioning groove 9061 on the top of the placement seat 4. As mold 5 is slowly placed into the placement seat 4, mold 5 slides down along the positioning groove 9061. As mold 5 continues to slide down in the positioning groove 9061, the symmetrically fixed locking strips 901 at the bottom of mold 5 are gradually inserted into the corresponding slots on the placement seat 4. During the insertion of locking strips 901, locking blocks 904 are squeezed by the inner wall of the slot of the placement seat 4, overcoming the elastic force of the limiting spring 905, and slide into the sliding hole 903. At this time, the limiting spring 905 is compressed and stores elastic potential energy. When locking strips 901 are fully inserted, locking blocks 904 are exactly aligned with the unlocking hole 902 on the outer wall of the placement seat 4. Under the action of the elastic potential energy of the limiting spring 905, locking blocks 904 automatically pop out from the sliding hole 903 and lock into the unlocking hole 902, realizing the locking of locking blocks 904 and unlocking holes 902.
[0035] Working principle: When sintering is complete and cleaning of the sintering chamber 2 is required, the first electric push rod 703 is activated. The output end of the first electric push rod 703 extends, pushing the placement seat 4 into the sintering chamber 2 within the first groove 701601. Since the outer wall of the placement seat 4 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the first rack 702, and the outer wall of the first rack 702 meshes with the outer wall of the gear 603, as the placement seat 4 moves, the first rack 702 drives the gear 603 to rotate around the sleeve 602. Then, the rotation of the gear 603 drives the second rack 606, which meshes with it, to move. The second rack 606 is fixedly connected to the cleaning strip 605, so the cleaning strip 605 slides within the second groove 604601. During the sliding process, the surface of the cleaning strip 605 contacts the inner wall of the sintering chamber 2, scraping off the zirconium oxide powder and impurities adhering to the inner wall, thus achieving automatic cleaning of the sintering chamber 2.
[0036] When mold 5 needs to be installed, the operator picks up mold 5 and aligns the outer wall of mold 5 with the symmetrically opened positioning groove 9061 on the top of the placement seat 4. As mold 5 is slowly placed into the placement seat 4, it slides down along the positioning groove 9061. As mold 5 continues to slide down in the positioning groove 9061, the symmetrically fixed locking strips 901 at the bottom of mold 5 are gradually inserted into the corresponding slots on the placement seat 4. During the insertion of locking strips 901, locking blocks 904 are squeezed by the inner wall of the slot of the placement seat 4, overcoming the elastic force of the limiting spring 905, and slide into the sliding hole 903. At this time, the limiting spring 905 is compressed and stores elastic potential energy. When locking strips 901 are fully inserted, locking blocks 904 are exactly aligned with the unlocking hole 902 on the outer wall of the placement seat 4. Under the action of the elastic potential energy of the limiting spring 905, locking blocks 904 automatically pop out from the sliding hole 903 and lock into the unlocking hole 902, realizing the locking of locking blocks 904 and unlocking holes 902.
