Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of colorimeter placement platform technology, and in particular to a placement platform for a colorimeter for measuring the color of natural teeth in the oral cavity. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, in dental restoration, dentists need to determine the color of teeth. Visual color matching is a subjective process, and its accuracy and stability are affected by a variety of subjective and objective factors. Instrumental color matching, on the other hand, makes up for the shortcomings of visual color matching to a certain extent, and has the characteristics of objectivity and quantification. With the advancement of technology, the advantages of tooth color matching instruments have gradually become apparent, and they are being used more and more in clinical practice.
[0003] While existing tooth colorimeters have a base for support when placed on a table, this simple placement makes them easy to tip over, and frequent falls can shorten their lifespan. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem mentioned in the background art: although the existing tooth colorimeters have a base for support when placed on a table, the simple placement makes them easy to tip over, and frequent falls will affect their lifespan.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A stand for a colorimeter for measuring the color of natural teeth includes a support frame and a rubber sheet. A base plate is fixed to the bottom of the support frame. A placement hole for inserting the colorimeter probe is provided on the front side of the support frame. An arc-shaped support plate is provided on the rear side of the support frame, and the arc-shaped support plate supports the colorimeter handle. The rubber sheet is mounted on the base plate and has multiple grooves. The bottom surface of the rubber sheet is at the same height as the bottom surface of the base plate. Symmetrical soft rubber is provided at the bottom of the grooves, and the soft rubber is inclined downward.
[0007] Preferably, a counterweight is provided inside the support frame, and the counterweight is fixed to the base plate.
[0008] Preferably, the soft rubber is inclined downwards and is lower than the base plate.
[0009] Preferably, the rubber sheet is detachably connected to the base plate.
[0010] Preferably, one end of the rubber sheet has a protrusion, and the base plate has a mounting groove, with the protrusion located in the mounting groove.
[0011] Preferably, the base plate is provided with a suction cup.
[0012] Preferably, a sleeve is fixed on the suction cup, the sleeve is in communication with the inside of the suction cup, and a movable piston is installed inside the sleeve.
[0013] Preferably, a lifting rod is connected to the piston, the lifting rod extends to the outside of the support frame, and a locking handle is rotatably connected to the lifting rod.
[0014] Preferably, a horizontal block is fixed on the support frame, and the bottom end of the locking handle contacts the upper surface of the horizontal block.
[0015] Preferably, the lower end of the arc-shaped support plate has a limiting and tightening plate.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] The placement holes of the support frame and the arc-shaped support plate form a three-dimensional clamping structure, which, together with the limiting and tightening plate, supports the colorimeter and reduces the risk of tipping over due to external impacts. The counterweight on the base plate has its own weight, which helps stabilize the placement platform. At the same time, the rubber sheet forms intervals through grooves, increasing the contact friction with the tabletop. Combined with the symmetrically inclined soft rubber at the bottom, it fits tightly against the tabletop under the action of the counterweight, further enhancing the grip of the placement platform and effectively preventing the colorimeter from falling over due to accidental collisions, thus extending the service life of the colorimeter.
[0018] The rubber sheet is connected to the placement platform with an interference fit, which facilitates quick disassembly and replacement, effectively solving the problem of decreased anti-slip performance caused by stains and wear, and reducing long-term use costs;
[0019] The soft rubber and suction cup are designed in perfect harmony. Without pressing the lock handle, the weight of the counterweight automatically triggers the suction cup to stick together, which ensures the stability of the platform when it is static, and makes it easy to pick up when it needs to be moved, thus balancing stability and flexibility.
[0020] Through the linkage design of the suction cup, piston, lifting rod, and locking handle, the placement platform can be stably attached to the table by pressing the locking handle, effectively preventing the colorimeter from falling over due to accidental scratches and protecting the colorimeter; the mechanical transmission design of the locking handle and lifting rod enables one-handed operation of suction cup attachment and release without the need for additional tools.

[0036] Please see Figures 1-9 A platform for a colorimeter for measuring the color of natural teeth includes a support frame 1 and a rubber sheet 2. A base plate 11 is fixed to the bottom of the support frame 1. A placement hole 12 for inserting the colorimeter probe is opened on the front side of the support frame 1. An arc-shaped support plate 13 is provided on the rear side of the support frame 1, which supports the colorimeter handle. A limiting and tightening plate 14 is provided at the lower end of the arc-shaped support plate 13. The limiting and tightening plate 14 limits the lower end of the colorimeter handle, so that the colorimeter can be stably placed on the support frame 1.
[0037] The rubber sheet 2 is installed on the base plate 11. Multiple grooves 21 are provided on the rubber sheet 2. The grooves 21 form intervals 24 in the rubber sheet 2. The intervals 24 increase the friction through the contact between the rubber sheet 2 and the table, which is beneficial to the stability of the table. The bottom surface of the rubber sheet 2 is at the same height as the bottom surface of the base plate 11, and the bottom surface of the intervals 24 is flush with the bottom surface of the base plate 11.
[0038] Furthermore, symmetrical soft rubber 22s are provided at the bottom of the groove 21, and the soft rubber 22s are inclined downwards. The inclined downward soft rubber 22s are lower than the base plate 11, and a counterweight 3 is provided in the support frame 1, which is fixed to the base plate 11. This application provides two counterweights 3, and the weight of the counterweights 3 is sufficient to cause the soft rubber 22 to deform inwards towards the groove 21, closely adhering to the tabletop, further enhancing the grip of the placement platform, and also ensuring that the base plate 11 and the rubber sheet 2 of the spacer section 24 contact the tabletop.
[0039] To address stains accumulated on the rubber sheet 2 after prolonged use, the rubber sheet 2 is detachably connected to the base plate 11. The base plate 11 has a mounting groove 16, and the rubber sheet 2 is fixed within the mounting groove 16 via an interference fit. One end of the rubber sheet 2 has a protrusion 23, and the base plate 11 has a placement groove 15, with the protrusion 23 located within it. The length of the placement groove 15 is greater than the length of the protrusion 23. When disassembling the rubber sheet 2, the protrusion 23 is pried out of the placement groove 15, and further force is applied to detach the rubber sheet 2 from the mounting groove 16. After cleaning and disinfection, it is finally reinstalled on the base plate 11. Alternatively, a new rubber sheet 2 can be replaced.
[0040] To further enhance the stability of the placement platform, a suction cup 4 is provided on the base plate 11. The base plate 11 has through holes through which the suction cup 4 passes. The soft rubber 22 and the suction cup 4 are designed in close coordination, and the suction cup 4 is automatically triggered to adhere under the action of the counterweight 3. This ensures the stability of the placement platform when it is static, and also makes it easy to pick up when it needs to be moved, thus balancing stability and flexibility.
[0041] To further enhance the stability of the placement platform, a sleeve 41 is fixed to the suction cup 4. The sleeve 41 is fixed to the base plate 11 and communicates with the interior of the suction cup 4. A movable piston 5 is installed inside the sleeve 41. The piston 5 is made of rubber and fits snugly against the inner wall of the sleeve 41. The suction cup 4 is flexible, and its lower end is within the height range of the soft rubber 22. After the soft rubber 22 deforms, the weight of the counterweight 3 is sufficient to deform the suction cup 4, making it adhere tightly to the tabletop. At the same time, the weight of the counterweight 3 itself also contributes to the stability of the placement platform.
[0042] A lifting rod 6 is connected to piston 5, extending to the outside of support frame 1. A locking handle 7 is rotatably connected to the lifting rod 6. A horizontal block 8 is fixed on support frame 1, and the bottom end of the locking handle 7 contacts the upper surface of horizontal block 8. The lifting rod 6 passes through a groove on horizontal block 8. Pressing the locking handle 7 causes piston 5 to rise via the lifting rod 6, thus firmly adhering suction cup 4 to the tabletop to prevent it from being bumped and tipped over. When the tabletop needs to be moved, the locking handle 7 returns to its original position, at which point piston 5 also returns to its original position. The tabletop can then be picked up and placed back on the tabletop. The suction cup 4 and rubber sheet 2 make the tabletop on the tabletop more stable.
[0043] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the present invention. The purpose of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been shown and explained in the embodiments. Without departing from the stated principles, the implementation of the present invention may have any variations or modifications.
