Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of dental cleaning equipment, and in particular to a dental cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] In dentistry, the cleaning and sterilization of dental instruments is crucial, directly impacting patients' oral health and treatment outcomes. Early dental instrument cleaning relied primarily on manual labor. Operators used brushes and cleaning agents to scrub each instrument individually. This method was not only inefficient and time-consuming, but the cleaning results were often unreliable. With technological advancements, simple dental cleaning devices emerged. These devices typically only possess basic cleaning functions, such as immersing instruments in a cleaning solution and using simple agitation to assist in cleaning.

[0003] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, it has been found that existing dental cleaning equipment has poor cleaning capabilities, limited ability to remove stubborn stains, and cannot achieve a thorough cleaning effect, nor can it effectively kill bacteria and viruses. Furthermore, manually operated hot cleaning equipment lacks effective protective measures; during the cleaning process, cleaning fluid and impurities can easily splash out, posing a threat to the safety of operators. Moreover, traditional dental cleaning equipment lacks the ability to integrate multiple cleaning methods, failing to meet the cleaning needs of different types of dental instruments. Utility Model Content

An equipment shell 3 is installed on one side of the cleaning tank 2 and is fixedly connected to the cleaning tank 2. A heating component 4 and a stirring component 5 are installed in the cleaning tank 2. The heating component 4 is fixedly connected to the cleaning tank 2, and the stirring component 5 is rotatably connected to the cleaning tank 2. A motor 30 for driving the stirring component 5 to rotate is installed in the equipment shell 3. A cleaning component 6 is also installed on the front end face of the main housing 11. A high-temperature steam generator connected to the cleaning component 6 is fixedly installed in the main housing 11. The main structure of the equipment is based on the housing 1, which is designed as a main housing 11 with a protective flip cover 12. During use, the main housing 11 can be used to install key components such as the high-temperature steam generator. The protective flip cover 12 is designed to rotate and open, preventing liquid and cleaning impurities from splashing during cleaning and protecting operator safety. A removable cleaning tank 2 is located below the front end of the main housing 11, allowing the cleaning liquid to be placed and heated. This high-temperature cleaning effectively removes contaminants and impurities from the dentures and kills bacteria, viruses, and spores. The removable cleaning tank 2 facilitates regular cleaning and prevents bacterial growth. The cleaning tank 2 can be stably connected and detached using magnetic attraction. The heating component 4 rapidly heats the cleaning liquid, maintaining it at a constant temperature for cleaning and improving cleaning efficiency. The stirring component 5, driven by the motor 30, rotates to circulate the cleaning liquid and enhance cleaning power. The cleaning component 6 works with a high-temperature steam generator to clean the denture using high-temperature steam. After the denture has been cleaned in the cleaning tank 2, the operator can remove it and then manually perform a fine cleaning using the cleaning component 6. The high-temperature steam effectively kills bacteria and removes stubborn dirt.

[0031] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a pressure gauge 111, which works in conjunction with a high-temperature steam generator, is installed on the front face of the main housing 11. A control switch 112, which controls the start and stop of the high-temperature steam generator, is also installed on the front face of the main housing 11. The pressure gauge 111 on the front face of the main housing 11 allows for real-time monitoring of the pressure inside the high-temperature steam generator, ensuring safe operation of the equipment. The control switch 112 facilitates operation by allowing operators to easily control the start and stop of the high-temperature steam generator. The protective flip cover 12 includes a cover frame 121 and a splash-proof transparent plate 122. The splash-proof transparent plate 122 is installed in the middle of the cover frame 121 and is fixedly connected to the cover frame 121. The protective flip cover 12, including the cover frame 121 and the splash-proof transparent plate 122, allows the splash-proof transparent plate 122 to be stably installed on the main housing 11 via the cover frame 121 during use. The splash-proof transparent plate 122 prevents liquid splashing and allows operators to observe the internal conditions during cleaning, facilitating timely monitoring of the cleaning progress.

[0032] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the cleaning tank 2 includes a straight shell portion 21 and an arc-shaped shell portion 22. The arc-shaped shell portion 22 is installed on the rear end face of the straight shell portion 21, and the arc-shaped shell portion 22 is integrally formed with the straight shell portion 21. The cleaning tank 2 comprises two structural parts, the straight shell portion 21 and the arc-shaped shell portion 22, and the arc-shaped shell portion 22 is integrally formed with the straight shell portion 21. This structural design makes the spatial layout of the cleaning tank 2 more reasonable, better accommodating both the dental and instrumental components. Simultaneously, the two parts can be placed in different areas, achieving stable cleaning, improving cleaning efficiency, and ensuring that the dental and instrumental components do not directly contact each other, thus preventing collision damage. A partition plate 221, which is separate from the arc-shaped shell portion 22, is installed in the arc-shaped shell portion 22.
