Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dental prosthesis mold manufacturing, and in particular to a dental prosthesis mold washing and drying integrated machine. Background Technology

[0002] Dental molds are a crucial auxiliary component in the denture manufacturing process. The cleanliness and dryness of their surfaces directly affect the final denture's molding accuracy, marginal fit, and clinical stability. In the current mainstream digital denture fabrication process, dental molds are often used for pouring or replicating 3D printed resin models, and their surfaces are prone to retaining uncured photosensitive resin or other organic materials.

[0003] Currently, the cleaning of dental prosthesis molds in the industry largely relies on manual operation, with common methods including wiping with alcohol or rinsing directly with solvents. However, these methods have significant technical drawbacks: First, organic solvents such as alcohol are highly volatile and flammable. In enclosed or poorly ventilated operating environments, their vapors can easily accumulate and reach explosive limits. Once exposed to static electricity, electric sparks, or open flames, they can easily cause fires or explosions, seriously threatening the safety of operators and the stability of the production environment. Second, manual cleaning is limited by operating space and manpower efficiency, resulting in a limited number of samples that can be processed at one time. Furthermore, the cleaning effect is highly dependent on the operator's experience, making it difficult to achieve standardization, uniformity, and thoroughness. This leads to poor batch-to-batch consistency and affects the pass rate of finished dental prostheses.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a safe, efficient, and automated integrated machine for washing and drying denture molds. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a safe, efficient and automated integrated machine for washing and drying denture molds.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a dental prosthesis mold washing and drying integrated machine, including a cabinet, a moving module, a feeding mechanism, a washing and drying mechanism, and a sewage treatment tank. The moving module is set in the upper part of the cabinet, which is used to drive the material to move in the X and Y axis directions. There is a feeding port on the left side of the cabinet and a discharging port on the right side of the cabinet. The feeding and discharging mechanisms are set at the feeding and discharging ports from left to right. The washing and drying mechanism is set in the cabinet between the feeding mechanisms. The dental prosthesis mold is washed by ultrasonic means and dried by air blowing. The sewage treatment tank is set in the cabinet below the washing and drying mechanism. The sewage treatment tank is connected to the washing and drying mechanism by pipeline.

[0007] Furthermore, the mobile module includes an X-axis module, a Z-axis module, a mounting profile, an adapter plate, and a hook plate. The X-axis module is horizontally arranged in the upper part of the cabinet. The Z-axis module is vertically arranged on the slider of the X-axis module. The mounting profile is horizontally arranged on the slider of the Z-axis module. Three adapter plates are evenly spaced on the mounting profile. The bottom of the adapter plate is provided with a downwardly extending hook plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the bottom of the hook plate bends in the same direction.

[0009] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism includes a concave placement rod, a placement frame, a limiting block, and a handle. The inlet and outlet of the cabinet are both inclined downwards from left to right with concave placement rods. Limiting blocks are provided on both the front and rear sides of the placement frame. The placement frame rests inside the concave placement rod through the limiting blocks. A handle is provided in the middle of the top of the placement frame.

[0010] Furthermore, the limiting block is a tapered shape that retracts inward, and the outer end face of the limiting block is engaged with the outer side of the concave placement rod.

[0011] Furthermore, the cleaning and drying mechanism includes an ultrasonic cleaning box, an ultrasonic oscillator, a water tank, a nozzle, and a gas-liquid connector. The ultrasonic cleaning box is installed at the feed inlet of the cabinet. Multiple rows of ultrasonic oscillators are installed inside the cabinets on both the left and right sides of the ultrasonic cleaning box. A water tank is installed at the discharge outlet of the cabinet. A nozzle is installed on the upper part of the inner wall of the water tank. A gas-liquid connector is connected to the rear end of the nozzle. The ultrasonic cleaning box is connected to the water tank and the sewage treatment tank through pipelines.

[0012] This invention only requires placing the dental prosthesis mold on the left side of the feeding mechanism to automatically achieve cleaning and drying, with high cleaning and drying efficiency; by intermittently moving the placement frame to the right through the moving module, the dental prosthesis mold in the placement frame continuously and uninterruptedly passes through the cleaning station and drying work, achieving the effect of quickly cleaning the dental prosthesis mold.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following will describe this utility model in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is hereby declared that the terms "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," "back," "inner," and "outer," etc., appearing or about to appear in this document, are based solely on the accompanying drawings and are not intended to specifically limit this utility model.

[0020] Example: A combined washing and drying machine for denture molds, such as... Figures 1-5 As shown, the system includes a cabinet 1, a moving module 2, a feeding mechanism 3, a washing and drying mechanism 4, and a wastewater treatment tank 5. The moving module 2 is located in the upper part of the cabinet 1, and is used to move materials in the X and Y axes. The left side of the cabinet 1 has a feeding inlet, and the right side has a discharging outlet. The feeding mechanism 3 is inclined from left to right at both the feeding and discharging outlets of the cabinet 1. Materials are placed on the feeding mechanism 3, and because of its inclined design, materials can be fed from left to right. A cleaning and drying mechanism 4 is installed in the cabinet 1 between the conveying and discharging mechanisms 3. The dental model is cleaned by ultrasonic cleaning. The cleaning station is on the left side and is adjacent to the discharging mechanism 3 on the left side. The dental model is dried by air blowing. The drying station is on the right side and is adjacent to the discharging mechanism 3 on the right side. A wastewater treatment tank 5 is installed in the cabinet 1 below the cleaning and drying mechanism 4. The wastewater from cleaning the materials enters the wastewater treatment tank 5 for treatment.

[0021] A dental prosthesis mold washing and drying integrated machine, compared with the prior art: When cleaning the dental prosthesis mold, the dental prosthesis mold to be cleaned is first placed in the feeding mechanism 3 on the left. Then, the moving module 2 is controlled to start working. The moving module 2 drives the dental prosthesis mold on the feeding mechanism 3 to pass through the cleaning station and drying station of the cleaning and drying mechanism 4 in sequence to carry out the cleaning and drying work. After cleaning, the material is moved to the feeding mechanism 3 on the right. Then, the cleaned and dried dental prosthesis mold is removed. This application only requires the dental prosthesis mold to be placed in the feeding mechanism 3 on the left to automatically realize cleaning and drying, and the cleaning and drying efficiency is high.

[0022] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the movable module 2 includes an X-axis module 21, a Z-axis module 22, a mounting profile 23, an adapter plate 24, and a hook plate 25. The X-axis module 21 is horizontally installed in the upper part of the cabinet 1 by bolts extending left and right. The Z-axis module 22 is vertically fixed on the slider of the X-axis module 21 by bolts. The mounting profile 23 is horizontally fixed on the slider of the Z-axis module 22 by bolts extending left and right. Three adapter plates 24 are evenly spaced on the mounting profile 23. The bottom of the adapter plate 24 is provided with a downwardly extending hook plate 25. The bottom of the hook plate 25 bends in the same direction.

[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, the feeding mechanism 3 includes a concave placement rod 31, a placement frame 32, a limiting block 33, and a handle 34. The concave placement rod 31 is inclined downward from left to right at both the inlet and outlet of the cabinet 1. The front and rear sides of the placement frame 32 are provided with limiting blocks 33. The placement frame 32 rests inside the concave placement rod 31 through the limiting blocks 33. The handle 34 is provided in the middle of the top of the placement frame 32. The limiting block 33 is a tapered shape that is recessed inward. The outer end face of the limiting block 33 is stuck on the outside of the concave placement rod 31. Thus, the placement frame 32 placed on the concave placement rod 31 can slide automatically to the right.

[0024] Moving module 2 and feeding mechanism 3: When cleaning the dental model is required, the dental model to be cleaned is placed in the placement frame 32. The Z-axis module 22 is controlled to move downward, driving the mounting profile 23, adapter plate 24, and hook plate 25 downward. When the hook plate 25 moves to the left side of the feeding mechanism 3, the Z-axis module 22 stops working. Then, the X-axis module 21 drives the mounting profile 23 to move to the right a certain distance. Next, the Z-axis module 22 drives the mounting profile 23 and its upper device to move upward and reset, causing the placement frame 32 hooked by the handle 34 to move upward. The X-axis module 21 is then controlled to drive the Z-axis module 22 and its upper device to move to the right, so that the leftmost placement frame 32 moves to the top of the cleaning station, the middle placement frame 32 moves to the top of the cleaning station, and the rightmost placement frame 32 moves to the top of the cleaning station. The frame 32 moves above the material feeding mechanism 3 on the right. Then, the Z-axis module 22 is controlled to move the upper placement frame 32 downward to perform the cleaning and drying process. When the next round of cleaning and drying is needed, the X-axis module 21 is first controlled to move to the left a certain distance to disengage from the placement frame 32. Then, the Z-axis module 22 is controlled to move its upper device upward to reset. The X-axis module 21 is then used to move the Z-axis module 22 and its upper device to the left until the hook plate 25 moves above the material feeding mechanism 3 on the left. The above operation is then repeated to continue the cleaning of the denture mold. By intermittently moving the placement frame 32 to the right by the moving module 2, the denture mold in the placement frame 32 continuously and uninterruptedly passes through the cleaning station and drying process, achieving the effect of quickly cleaning the denture mold.

[0025] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the cleaning and drying mechanism 4 includes an ultrasonic cleaning chamber 41, an ultrasonic oscillator 42, a water tank 43, a nozzle 44, and a gas-liquid connector 45. The ultrasonic cleaning chamber 41 is located at the inlet of the cabinet 1. Multiple rows of ultrasonic oscillators 42 are installed inside the cabinet 1 on both sides of the ultrasonic cleaning chamber 41. By controlling the operation of the ultrasonic oscillators 42, the liquid inside the ultrasonic cleaning chamber 41 is driven to generate synchronous high-frequency vibration. During the liquid vibration, countless tiny bubbles (vacuum cavities) are rapidly formed. These bubbles are generated and burst instantaneously under pressure changes, releasing a powerful instantaneous impact force (up to several thousand atmospheres). This impact force acts on the liquid... The ultrasonic cleaning tank 41 is connected to the water tank 43 and the sewage treatment tank 5 through pipelines. The liquid in the ultrasonic cleaning tank 41 and the water tank 43 is equipped with a nozzle 44 on the upper part of the inner wall. The rear end of the nozzle 44 is connected to a gas-liquid connector 45, which is connected to the water and gas lines. First, liquid is sprayed through the nozzle 44 to rinse the dental model in the placement frame 32. Then, the rinsing is stopped and gas is introduced to dry the dental model in the placement frame 32. The ultrasonic cleaning tank 41 is connected to the water tank 43 and the sewage treatment tank 5 through pipelines. The liquid in the ultrasonic cleaning tank 41 and the water tank 43 enters the sewage treatment tank 5 through pipelines for treatment.
