Description

TECHNICAL AREA

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of implant cleaning, in particular an ultrasonic cleaning device for implants with multiple grooves. STATE OF THE ART

[0002] Implant cleaning devices are specifically designed for cleaning implants. They effectively remove dirt, contaminants, and bacteria from the implant surface, thus helping to maintain the cleanliness and hygiene of the implant. These devices typically utilize ultrasonic technology to clean the implant surface through the vibration and impact of ultrasonic waves. The bursting of tiny bubbles from the ultrasonic waves generates a powerful impact and a locally high temperature, which loosens dirt adhering to the implant surface and destroys the cell structure of bacteria, thereby achieving a cleaning and sterilization effect.

[0003] For example, a utility model with application number CN220477680U discloses a care and cleaning device for dental implants, comprising a cleaning housing. The cleaning housing is connected on its inner side to an inner mounting plate, the inner mounting plate being provided on its inner side with a positioning support seat. A positioning clamping plate is slidably connected to a surface of the positioning support seat, and an inner sliding groove is formed on the inner side of the positioning support seat. Since, in this care and cleaning device for dental implants, the elastic force of a second elastic arrangement is greater than the tensile force of a first elastic arrangement, an outer adjusting ring presses on the inner mounting plate to move it on the inner wall of the inner sliding groove, which in turn causes the positioning clamping plate to form a clamp on a dental implant sleeve.In this way, multiple groups of dental implant sleeves can be clamped and positioned synchronously, and it is ensured that the cleaning housing can maintain and clean multiple groups of dental implant sleeves, which simplifies operation and improves the conventional positioning of multiple groups of dental implant sleeves, as positioning multiple groups of dental implant sleeves is cumbersome for positioning and cleaning, thus improving the efficiency of positioning and cleaning multiple groups of dental implant sleeves.

[0004] In practice, however, it turns out that the device's positioning clamping plate limits and secures the dental implant to facilitate subsequent cleaning, even though the clamping plate can be driven by the elastic mechanism to clamp the implant in place. However, if the cleaning fluid is sprayed inside the cleaning chamber or flows at a higher velocity, the dental implant can easily tilt, compromising the cleaning effect. Furthermore, the device can only clean a smaller number of dental implants, and its cleaning efficiency is lower; for this purpose, a multi-groove ultrasonic implant cleaning device is recommended. CONTENTS OF THE PRESENT USE SAMPLE

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to provide an ultrasonic cleaning device for implants with multiple grooves in order to solve the above problems.

[0006] The present application uses the following technical solution: an ultrasonic cleaning device for implants with multiple grooves, comprising an ultrasonic cleaning vessel, wherein a cleaning groove made of stainless steel is fixedly installed inside the ultrasonic cleaning vessel, wherein an implant placement basket is installed inside the cleaning groove made of stainless steel, wherein several circular recesses are formed on a top surface of the implant placement basket in a uniformly spaced arrangement, and wherein circular positioning holes are formed on a bottom surface inside the several circular recesses, wherein two mounting cavities are formed symmetrically on an inner wall of the circular recesses, and wherein the two mounting cavities are provided inside with movable push rods, and wherein a spring is fixedly installed on an inner side wall of the mounting cavities.wherein one end of the spring facing away from the inner side wall of the mounting cavities is attached to the movable push rod, wherein a clamping plate is fixedly installed on one end of the movable push rod facing away from the spring.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, a fan is permanently installed on a right side of the ultrasonic cleaning vessel, with several heat dissipation and ventilation holes arranged in an evenly spaced arrangement on a left side of the ultrasonic cleaning vessel.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, a sealing top cover is provided on the upper side of the ultrasonic cleaning vessel, wherein a pull rod is fixedly installed on the upper side of the sealing top cover near a center.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, a drain pipe is permanently installed on a bottom surface of the cleaning groove made of stainless steel, wherein one end of the drain pipe extends to an outside of the ultrasonic cleaning container, and wherein a manual valve is permanently installed on an outside surface of the drain pipe.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, several limiting blocks are installed in a rectangular arrangement on the inner side wall of the cleaning groove made of stainless steel.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, an ultrasonic adjustment plate is permanently installed on a front side of the ultrasonic cleaning tank.

[0012] In summary, the present application exhibits the beneficial effects resulting from the above technical solution: 1. In the present application, based on the solution described above, the user first inserts the lower end of the implant to be cleaned into the interior of the circular recess. This allows the implant to penetrate the interior of the circular recess near its lower end and reach the interior of the circular positioning hole near its upper end, thus facilitating the positioning and installation of the implant.

[0013] The technical solution in the embodiments of the present application is explained clearly below, so that the purpose, the technical solutions, and the advantages of the embodiments of the present application become clearer and more complete. Obviously, the described embodiments do not represent all embodiments, but only a subset of the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments that could be obtained by a person skilled in the art without inventive step fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0014] With reference to the Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 comprises an ultrasonic cleaning device for implants with multiple grooves, an ultrasonic cleaning vessel 1, wherein an ultrasonic adjustment plate 17 is fixedly installed on a front side of the ultrasonic cleaning vessel 1, wherein a cleaning groove 2 made of stainless steel is fixedly installed inside the ultrasonic cleaning vessel 1, wherein several limit blocks 16 are installed in a right-angled arrangement on an inner side wall of the cleaning groove 2 made of stainless steel, wherein an implant placement basket 3 is provided inside the cleaning groove 2 made of stainless steel, and wherein several ultrasonic generators are installed on a bottom side of the cleaning groove 2 made of stainless steel. The ultrasonic generators use voltage signals to induce high-frequency vibrations through specific electronic components (e.g.,to generate piezoelectric crystals or quartz crystals), thereby facilitating a cleaning process of the cleaning fluid within the stainless steel cleaning groove 2 on the implant (i.e., a dental implant) on the implant placement basket 3. The ultrasonic adjustment plate 17 is electrically connected to the ultrasonic generator via a wire to facilitate the operator's adjustment of the frequency, amplitude, or other parameters of the ultrasonic generator. The multiple limiting blocks 16 serve to support the implant placement basket 3 inside the stainless steel cleaning groove 2, so that it can be stably positioned in the cleaning groove 2. The ultrasonic generator is an existing structure; the present application merely utilizes it without making any structural improvements and will therefore not discuss it further.

[0015] With reference to the Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 A sealing top cover 12 is provided on the upper side of the ultrasonic cleaning tank 1, with a pull rod 13 fixedly installed on the upper side of the sealing top cover 12 near its center. The sealing top cover 12 serves to ensure the sealing of the stainless steel cleaning groove 2, and the pull rod 13 allows personnel to pull the sealing top cover 12 to open or close it.

[0016] With reference to the Fig. 2, Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 On the upper surface of the implant placement basket 3, several circular recesses 4 are formed in an evenly spaced arrangement, and circular positioning holes 5 are formed on a lower surface inside the several circular recesses 4. The circular recesses 4 and the circular positioning holes 5 facilitate the positioning of the implant. Dental implants typically have an outer ring with a thread and are provided with a smaller upper end and a larger lower end, thus being conical, with the inner diameter of the circular positioning holes 5 being larger than the outer diameter of the implant, so that it is easy to insert the implant into the circular positioning holes 5 during the positioning and installation of the implant.

[0017] With reference to the Fig. 2, Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 Two mounting cavities 6 are symmetrically formed on an inner wall of the circular recesses 4, and the two mounting cavities 6 are provided inside with movable push rods 7, a spring 8 being fixedly installed on an inner side wall of the mounting cavities 6, with one end of the spring 8 facing away from the inner side wall of the mounting cavities 6 being attached to the movable push rod 7, and a clamping plate 9 being fixedly installed on one end of the movable push rod 7 facing away from the spring 8. When the personnel insert the implant into the interior of the circular positioning hole 5, the movable push rod 7 and the clamping plate 9, under the action of the spring 8, release the elasticity of the implant to clamp and secure it, thus improving stability.

[0018] With reference to the Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. A fan 10 is fixedly installed on the right side of the ultrasonic cleaning tank 1, while several heat dissipation and ventilation holes 11 are formed in an evenly spaced arrangement on the left side of the ultrasonic cleaning tank 1. The fan 10 and the heat dissipation and ventilation holes 11 facilitate rapid internal heat dissipation from the ultrasonic cleaning tank 1, preventing the heat generated by the operation of the device from accumulating inside the ultrasonic cleaning tank 1.

[0019] With reference to the Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig.3 A drain pipe 14 is permanently installed on a lower surface of the stainless steel cleaning groove 2, with one end of the drain pipe 14 extending to an outer surface of the ultrasonic cleaning tank 1, and a manual valve 15 being permanently installed on an outer surface of the drain pipe 14. The drain pipe 14 and the manual valve 15 facilitate the draining of the cleaning fluid after cleaning inside the stainless steel cleaning groove 2.

[0020] The operating principle of the multi-groove ultrasonic cleaning device for implants described in the present application is as follows: The user first inserts the lower end of the implant to be cleaned into the interior of the circular recess 4. This allows the implant to penetrate the interior of the circular recess 4 near its lower end and enter the interior of the circular positioning hole 5 near its upper end, facilitating the positioning and installation of the implant. After the implant has been positioned and installed, it is clamped and secured in the circular positioning hole 5 by means of a movable push rod 7, a spring 8, and a clamping plate 9 to prevent any tilting during the subsequent cleaning process. The operator then places the implant placement basket 3 inside the stainless steel cleaning groove 2 and adds cleaning fluid (e.g., cleaning solution).Saline solution, enzyme detergent, and antibacterial disinfectant, etc., are added to the interior. Once the cleaning fluid has been added, the operator activates the ultrasonic generator to perform ultrasonic cleaning of the implant on the implant placement basket 3 inside the stainless steel cleaning groove 2. After ultrasonic cleaning, the cleaning fluid can be drained through the drain tube 14 and the manual valve 15. Sterile water is then added, and the ultrasonic generator is used to rinse the implant, thoroughly removing any residue and cleaning fluid from the implant's surface. The device has a simple structure and is easy to operate.The numerous grooved holes make it easy to position and install a larger number of implants, and the provided clamping plate 9 limits and secures the implant, improving stability so that no tilting phenomenon occurs during cleaning and improving the efficiency of cleaning the implant.
