[0034] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this utility model will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0036] This utility model proposes a denture recycling device.

[0037] Reference Figures 1 to 9 ,include:

[0038] The disinfection housing 11 has a hinged cover 12, a scrubbing disc 13 connected to the lower side of the cover 12, a brush 131 inside the scrubbing disc 13, and a first motor 14 fixedly connected to the upper side of the cover 12. The drive shaft of the first motor 14 is fixedly connected to the scrubbing disc 13.

[0039] Mounting plate 15, which slides and abuts against the disinfection shell 11. A placement tray 16 is detachably and fixedly connected to the mounting plate 15. The scrubbing tray 13 and the placement tray 16 are interlocked.

[0040] A scrubbing assembly is located on the outside of the disinfection housing 11 and is used to drive the placement tray 16 to move back and forth towards the scrubbing tray 13.

[0041] Water outlet pipe 17 is fixedly connected to the lower wall of the disinfection housing 11;

[0042] The brushing assembly, through precise height adjustment, stable motion control, and optimized brushing effect, not only improves work efficiency but also enhances the user experience, ensuring a highly efficient and smooth brushing process. Firstly, with the cooperation of the transmission disc 22 and transmission plate 23, the brushing assembly can precisely adjust the height of the placement disc 16 within the sterilization housing 11, allowing users to easily adjust the disc's position and place the denture for brushing as needed. Secondly, the design of the limiting plate 24 effectively ensures the stable movement of the placement disc 16, preventing instability or wobbling during height adjustment and ensuring a smoother brushing process. Furthermore, when the placement disc 16 moves upward, it forms an effective squeezing action with the brushing disc 13, further enhancing the brushing effect and ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene of the denture. When the placement disc 16 moves downward, the denture can smoothly fall onto the bottom wall of the sterilization housing 11, avoiding jamming or uneven descent, making operation more convenient and simplifying subsequent steps.

[0043] Reference Figures 1 to 9 The scrubbing components include:

[0044] Motor base 21 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of disinfection shell 11. Motor base 21 is rotatably connected to a transmission plate 22 on the side facing the disinfection shell 11. A transmission plate 23 is hinged to the non-center part of the transmission plate 22. A limit plate 24 is connected to the transmission plate 23.

[0045] Several receiving plates 25 are fixedly connected to the mounting plate 15, and the end of each receiving plate 25 near the limiting plate 24 can be fixedly connected to the limiting plate 24.

[0046] The second motor 26 is fixedly connected to the motor base 21, and the drive shaft of the second motor 26 is coaxially fixedly connected to the transmission disk 22.

[0047] The brushing assembly can adjust the relative distance between the brushing disc 13 and the placement disc 16, allowing the transmission disc 22 to move the placement disc 16 up and down. With the limiting plate 24 acting as a stop, the movement of the placement disc 16 is more stable. By adjusting the rotation angle of the transmission disc 22, the relative height of the transmission plate 23 can be precisely limited, thereby adjusting the height of the placement disc 16 within the sterilization housing 11. Specifically, when the placement disc 16 is in the middle position of the sterilization housing 11, the user can easily place the denture into the placement disc 16 for brushing. When the placement tray 16 moves upward, it can better cooperate with the brushing tray 13 to form a mutual squeezing effect, thereby ensuring the brushing effect. When the placement tray 16 moves downward, the denture will fall smoothly onto the bottom wall of the sterilization shell 11 as the placement tray 16 descends, avoiding the problem of denture getting stuck or falling off unsmoothly, and providing convenience for the next operation. It not only precisely adjusts the height of the placement tray 16, but also optimizes the cleaning and rinsing process, ensuring the brushing effect, reducing the difficulty of operation, making the entire brushing process more efficient and smooth, and improving the user experience.

[0048] Reference Figures 2 to 6 The transmission plate 23 has a transmission groove 231, and the non-center part of the transmission disc 22 abuts against the inner wall of the transmission groove 231.

[0049] Through the transmission groove 231, the rotation of the transmission disc 22 can drive the transmission plate 23 to move downwards, which is located at a non-central position. By adjusting the rotation angle of the transmission disc 22, the relative height of the transmission plate 23 can be precisely limited, thereby adjusting the height of the placement disc 16 within the sterilization housing 11. Specifically, when the placement disc 16 is in the middle position of the sterilization housing 11, the user can easily place the denture into the placement disc 16 for brushing. When the placement disc 16 moves upwards, it can better cooperate with the brushing disc 13, forming a mutual squeezing effect to ensure the brushing effect. When the placement disc 16 moves downwards, the denture will fall smoothly onto the bottom wall of the sterilization housing 11 as the placement disc 16 descends, avoiding problems such as denture jamming or uneven falling, and providing convenience for the next operation. Overall, through the collaborative design of the transmission groove 231, the transmission disc 22, and the transmission plate 23, not only can the height of the placement disc 16 be precisely adjusted, but the cleaning and rinsing process can also be ensured to be smooth, making the entire brushing process more efficient.

[0050] Reference Figures 2 to 6 Two oscillating columns 27 are fixedly connected to the transmission plate 23, and the limiting plate 24 is slidably connected to the two oscillating columns 27. Each oscillating column 27 is fitted with an oscillating spring 28, and the two ends of each oscillating spring 28 abut against the transmission plate 23 and the limiting plate 24 respectively.

[0051] The oscillating spring 28 reduces direct friction between the brushing disc 13 and the placement disc 16 during mutual compression, thereby improving their lifespan. This design not only accommodates irregularly sized dentures but also ensures effective coordination between the brushing disc 13 and the placement disc 16 during relative rotation. Through the adjustment of the oscillating spring, the brushing disc 13 and the placement disc 16 can fit tightly together, ensuring effective compression and brushing of the denture while avoiding wear caused by excessive friction. During operation, the height of the placement disc 16 is limited to ensure that it is slightly higher than the disinfectant level when not directly affected by the brushing disc 13, and that the disinfectant level remains below the lower side of the brushing disc 13, ensuring proper relative positioning of the brushing disc 13 and the placement disc 16. The cleaning process is highly efficient, and the flow of liquid helps dissolve stubborn substances such as grease, dirt, and dust. Especially for greasy stains, the disinfectant can effectively decompose these substances, ensuring thorough cleaning. The flow of liquid can also remove the cleaned dirt, preventing secondary pollution and further enhancing cleaning efficiency. In addition, the liquid has a cooling effect during the cleaning process, preventing overheating from damaging the dentures. The brushing disc 13 is positioned above the disinfectant liquid level, avoiding direct contact between the disinfectant and the brushing disc 13, thereby reducing the corrosion of the brushing disc by the disinfectant and extending the service life of the brushing disc.

[0052] Reference Figures 4 to 6 A number of positioning plates 31 are fixedly connected to the lower side of the mounting plate 15. Each positioning plate 31 is fixedly connected to a reset post 32. A number of reset plates 33 are fixedly connected to the lower side of the placement plate 16. Each reset post 32 is fitted with a reset spring 34. The two ends of the reset spring 34 abut against the mounting plate 15 and the reset plate 33 respectively. A conical column 35 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the disinfection shell 11.

[0053] Under the action of the return spring 34, the mounting plate 15 and the mounting tray 16 are ensured to be in close contact. When the mounting plate 15 moves downwards, the mounting tray 16 also moves downwards synchronously, ensuring a more stable fit. Simultaneously, the return post 32 prevents relative rotation between the mounting plate 15 and the mounting tray 16, ensuring that the relative rotation between the brushing disc 13 and the mounting tray 16 produces an ideal brushing effect and avoids insufficient cleaning due to asymmetrical rotation. When the transmission drive of the brushing assembly moves the mounting plate 15 downwards... During downward movement, the cone 35 lifts the placement tray 16, thereby separating the mounting plate 15 from the placement tray 16. At this time, the cleaned denture will be subjected to the vibration of the disinfectant on the placement tray 16. When the placement tray 16 is immersed in the disinfectant, the disinfectant will squeeze the placement tray 16. Through this vibrational force, the denture is easily squeezed off the placement tray 16, making it convenient for the user to continue to put in a new batch of dentures for cleaning. This not only ensures the cleaning effect but also improves the convenience of operation, ensuring that the cleaning process of each batch is efficient.

[0054] Reference Figure 9 A flow guide surface 111 is provided on the bottom wall of the disinfection shell 11, and the flow guide surface 111 is inclined downward towards the water outlet pipe 17;

[0055] Through the mutual squeezing action between the scrubbing disc 13 and the placement disc 16, the powder on the dentures gradually settles in the disinfectant during the scrubbing process. This powder then continues to sink along the guide surface 111 and eventually flows to the water outlet pipe 17. After a batch of dentures has been cleaned, the user can remove the sealing cap at the lower end of the water outlet pipe 17. Using the water pressure, the remaining denture powder inside the disinfection housing 11 is effectively collected, thereby improving the cleaning effect. In addition, a filter screen can be added to help separate harmful components and residues in the water, making the cleaning process more thorough and hygienic, ensuring the purity of the disinfectant and the long-term effectiveness of the equipment.

[0056] Reference Figure 4 and Figures 7 to 8 Several telescopic columns 18 are fixedly connected to the lower side of the flip cover 12, and an adjustment plate 19 is fixedly connected to the lower end of each telescopic column 18. The mounting plate 16 is rotatably connected to the adjustment plate 19.

[0057] By making the distance between the flip cover 12 and the mounting plate 16 adjustable, the relative squeezing force between the brushing plate 13 and the mounting plate 16 can be flexibly controlled, allowing users to adjust the brushing effect of the brushing plate 13 according to actual needs, thereby achieving the best brushing effect. By precisely adjusting the pressure between the two, the dirt on the dentures can be removed more effectively, while avoiding the problem of denture damage or insufficient brushing due to excessive squeezing, thereby improving the overall user experience and the cleaning efficiency of the equipment.

[0058] Reference Figures 8 to 9 The upper side of the placement tray 16 is provided with a frustum-shaped guide surface 161;

[0059] When the drive plate 15 of the brushing assembly moves downward, the cone 35 acts on the placement plate 16, lifting it upward, thereby separating the mounting plate 15 from the placement plate 16. To further facilitate operation, a guide surface 161 is provided on the placement plate 16. The denture will slide down along the guide surface in all directions and eventually fall more easily from the placement plate 16 onto the bottom wall of the sterilization housing 11, ensuring that the denture can be removed quickly and accurately, avoiding jamming or damage, and improving the efficiency and smoothness of the entire cleaning process.

[0060] Reference Figures 1 to 2 A handle 121 is fixedly connected to the flip cover 12, and a sealing gasket 122 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the flip cover 12.

[0061] The handle 121 allows users to more easily lift the flip cover 12 for convenient processing. The sealing gasket 122 ensures that the powder generated during denture brushing is effectively isolated and blocked. This prevents the powder from spreading to the outside of the sterilization housing 11, ensuring the cleanliness of the brushing process and minimizing any possible contamination, thus improving the hygiene, safety, and ease of use of the equipment.
