Detailed ways

Example 1

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the storage mechanism of the orthodontic bracket of the first embodiment includes a cavity 10 and an elastic member connected to the cavity 10.

Specifically, the cavity 10 includes an upper opening 12, a bottom 14 and an enclosed side wall 16, and the bottom 14 and the side wall 16 jointly form an accommodating space for the orthodontic bracket 30. The orthodontic bracket 30 enters the cavity 10 from the upper opening 12, the bottom 14 of the cavity 10 is the resisting part of the orthodontic bracket, and the upper surface of the bottom 14 is the resisting surface of the resisting part for supporting the cavity 10 Orthodontic brackets within 30.

The elastic member is a strip-shaped elastic sheet 20, which can be made of elastic metal or elastic polymer material. One end of the elastic piece 20 is connected to the edge of the upper opening 12 of the cavity 10, and this is the connecting end 23 of the elastic piece 20, that is, the supporting part of the elastic piece 20. The other end of the elastic piece 20 is suspended at the upper opening 12, and this is the free end 25 of the elastic piece 20, that is, the suspended part of the elastic piece 20. The free end 25 of the elastic piece 20 covers a part of the upper opening of the cavity 10, and the connecting end 23 of the elastic piece 20 is used to support the free end 25 to hang in the air.

The free end 25 of the elastic piece 20 corresponds to the bottom 14 of the cavity 10, that is, the free end 25 of the elastic piece 20 has an elastic pressing force toward the bottom 14 of the cavity 10.

The working principle of this embodiment 1:

When the orthodontic bracket 30 is put into the cavity 10, the orthodontic bracket 30 enters the cavity 10 with its bottom plate corresponding to the bottom 14 of the cavity 10; The free end 25 of 20 is bent to avoid the orthodontic bracket 30, so that the orthodontic bracket 30 smoothly slides into the cavity 10; and the free end 25 of the shrapnel 20 passes through the orthodontic in the process of avoiding the orthodontic bracket 30 The surface of the bracket 30 is guided by its elastic potential energy to tend to return to its original position, so that the free end 25 of the elastic piece 20 is at the opening of the cavity 10 and above the orthodontic bracket 30, so that the orthodontic bracket 30 is restricted between the elastic piece 20 and the bottom 14 of the cavity 10 to limit the position of the orthodontic bracket 30.

When the orthodontic bracket 30 is to be taken out, the clamping tool enters the cavity 10 through the upper opening 12 of the cavity 10 that is not covered by the elastic sheet 20 to clamp the orthodontic bracket 30, exerting force to overcome the downward pressure of the elastic sheet 20, The orthodontic bracket 30 is taken out from the upper opening 12 of the cavity 10.

Compared with the prior art solution, the storage mechanism of the orthodontic brackets of the first embodiment uses a strip-shaped elastic sheet and the bottom as a resisting part to elastically limit the orthodontic brackets in the upper and lower directions. In the process of transportation and storage, the shrapnel opens at the top of the cavity to seal the orthodontic brackets to prevent them from falling off and upside down. At the same time, it also prevents the orthodontic brackets of each tooth from being confused with each other, which is conducive to the smooth progress of orthodontic surgery.

Furthermore, the elastic deformation adjustment of the elastic member can give a certain degree of tolerance to the size of the placed object, and the amplitude of the elastic deformation is large enough to make the elastic member suitable for most specifications of brackets. A person skilled in the art knows that the specifications of orthodontic brackets of each tooth position, type, and brand are not much different, and an elastic member of one specification can meet most of the orthodontic brackets on the market, making the present invention Storage institutions have a wide range of applications and have huge market prospects.

Furthermore, considering the structure of the orthodontic bracket, the side surface of the orthodontic bracket body is generally provided with ligation wings and ligation grooves, and the upper surface of the orthodontic bracket body is flatter than the side surface of the orthodontic bracket body. , Especially the self-locking orthodontic bracket, the upper surface of which is provided with a cover plate, the cover plate is smooth, the spring sheet of the storage mechanism is better controlled, the limit is firmer, and the clip is easier to fall off when it is taken out.

In Embodiment 1, a strip-shaped elastic sheet 20 is used, and the area of the free end 25 of the elastic sheet 20 is expanded into a disc shape, covering the area of the central part of the upper opening 12 of the cavity 10. In other embodiments, it is not limited to strip elastic pieces, and other shapes of elastic pieces can be used. In addition, the free end of the shrapnel does not have to limit the area. The free end of the shrapnel can cover half, incompletely or completely cover the upper opening of the cavity. In the case of complete coverage, the orthodontic bracket can be placed or clamped manually. Open the free end of the shrapnel and then clamp it. One of the forms that does not completely cover the upper opening, preferably, the free end of the elastic sheet is split into a plurality of spokes to cover the upper opening 12 of the cavity 10.

In Example 1, a one-piece shrapnel structure was used. In other embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, a plurality of independent spoke-shaped elastic pieces 20 may be used in combination. The multiple elastic pieces 20 are arranged in a surrounding array. The connecting end 23 of each elastic piece 20 is respectively connected to the edge of the upper opening 12 of the cavity 10, and the free ends 25 of each elastic piece 20 are arranged in the middle of the upper opening 12 of the cavity 10 so as to gather with each other.

Preferably, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the free ends 25 of each elastic piece 20 are distributed around the same angle from 360°. The free ends 25 of the elastic pieces 20 may not be in contact with each other, may also be in contact with each other, or may be overlapped with each other. The elastic sheet 20 applies force to the orthodontic bracket 30 from multiple directions, and the force is evenly applied. The preferred structure is particularly suitable for spherical self-locking brackets. The ligation groove of the spherical self-locking bracket is small or even has no ligation groove, and the main body of the spherical self-locking bracket is round and has no edges and corners, and it is not easy to be clamped by the prior art locking protrusions. The multiple elastic pieces 20 of the present invention elastically act on the round body surface of the spherical self-locking bracket from all directions, which can firmly lock the spherical self-locking bracket in the cavity 10, and the gap between the elastic pieces 20 is also convenient for clamping Take tools to enter.

In the first embodiment, the bottom 14 of the cavity 10 is used as the supporting structure of the orthodontic bracket 30 to respond to the elastic sheet 20. As shown in FIG. 7, in other embodiments, a plurality of protrusions 18 are provided on the side wall 16 of the cavity 10 as an auxiliary receiving structure of the orthodontic bracket 30, so that the orthodontic bracket 30 is not limited to the cavity 10. 14 depth at the bottom. The auxiliary supporting structure can also be a convex ring. Preferably, the auxiliary receiving structure has elasticity, such as a spring or an elastic protrusion, which can withstand the impact of the transportation process. In addition, if an auxiliary receiving structure is provided on the side wall 16, the bottom 14 of the cavity 10 does not need to be closed, and it can be empty, which is beneficial to simplify the processing cost and design process of the storage mechanism. When an auxiliary receiving structure is provided, the resisting portion is an auxiliary receiving structure, and the surface formed by the auxiliary receiving structure corresponding to the orthodontic bracket is the resisting surface. At the same time, it can be obtained that the resisting surface mentioned in the present invention can be a real board surface, or a virtual surface formed when the orthodontic bracket is supported by a convex ring or protrusion. Further, it can be in the cavity A number of needle-pointed objects are vertically set up at the bottom of the, and the ends of the needle-pointed objects jointly support the bottom plate of the orthodontic bracket, and the ends of the many needle-pointed objects also form a resisting surface.

Furthermore, the bottom 14 and the side wall 16 of Embodiment 1 are fixedly connected and are closed. In other embodiments, the bottom 14 and the side walls 16 of the cavity 10 are independent of each other and can be joined together. When the orthodontic bracket 30 is placed in the cavity 10, the bottom 14 of the cavity 10 can be separated first. 30 enters from the bottom 14 of the cavity 10, eliminating the need to overcome the resistance of the elastic member when entering from the upper opening 12, and the bottom 14 of the cavity 10 is sealed after the orthodontic bracket 30 is placed. When the orthodontic bracket is to be taken out When the slot 30 is used, the orthodontic bracket 30 overcomes the resistance of the elastic member and is taken out from the upper opening 12 of the cavity 10.

Furthermore, for the bottom 14 and the side wall 16 of the cavity 10 that are independent of each other, in other embodiments, an external structure is used as the bottom of the cavity. For example, when the storage mechanism is disposed on the inner support of the storage device, and the bottom of the storage device corresponds to the bottom of the storage mechanism, the bottom of the storage device can be used as the bottom of the cavity 10.

In Embodiment 1, the shrapnel 20 can bend up and down. In other embodiments, through design, the elastic member can be bent left and right. During operation, the elastic member is opened to the left or right, and the orthodontic bracket is put into the orthodontic bracket. The force is released, and the elastic member returns to the upper opening of the cavity. The top orthodontic brackets are similar operations when they are removed. In yet another embodiment, the elastic piece is bent up and down, and its connecting end is movably connected to the edge of the upper opening through a connecting piece (such as a rotating shaft), so that the free end of the elastic piece can rotate around the connecting piece to deviate from the upper opening of the cavity, Therefore, the orthodontic bracket is opened from above the cavity without resisting the obstruction of the shrapnel. It can be seen that the technical solution in this form only needs to restrict the top surface of the elastic member corresponding to the resisting part, and does not require the current deformation direction of the elastic member.

In Embodiment 1, the distance between the upper opening 12 of the cavity 10 and the bottom 14 is not greater than the height of the orthodontic bracket 30, and a part of the main body of the orthodontic bracket 30 is exposed outside the cavity 10, which is convenient for display in counters and at the same time. The gripping tool is used for gripping. In other embodiments, the distance between the upper opening of the cavity and the lower bracket part is not less than the height of the built-in orthodontic bracket, so that the orthodontic bracket falls into the cavity completely, so that the orthodontic bracket is completely covered by the storage mechanism. protect.

In Embodiment 1, the cavity 10 has a conventional cylindrical shape. In other embodiments, the cavity 10 has a cubic shape or other irregular shapes. In addition, in Embodiment 1, the side wall 16 of the cavity 10 is perpendicular to the bottom 14 of the cavity 10, and the orthodontic bracket 30 is placed approximately vertically when placed. In other embodiments, one side wall of the cavity is inclined and enlarged from the bottom of the cavity to the upper opening to form a guiding inclined surface. When the orthodontic bracket 30 is placed, the orthodontic bracket 30 slides into the cavity by self-guided slope, reducing the resistance to the elastic member. When the orthodontic bracket is to be taken out, it can also slide out from the guide slope.

In Embodiment 1, the connecting end 23 of the elastic sheet 20 is connected to the edge of the upper opening 12 of the cavity 10. As shown in FIG. 8, in other embodiments, the connecting end 23 of the elastic piece 20 can be connected to the side wall 16 of the cavity 10 or can be connected to the bottom 14 of the cavity 10. As long as the connecting end 23 of the elastic sheet 20 is fixed to form a support.

The elastic support sheet 17 is the resisting portion of the orthodontic bracket, and the upper surface of the elastic support sheet 17 is the resisting surface of the resisting portion, and is used to support the orthodontic bracket 30 in the cavity 10.

The elastic member is a strip of elbow-shaped elastic sheet 520, which can be made of elastic metal or elastic polymer material. One end of the elastic piece 520 is connected to the edge of the upper opening 12 of the cavity 10, and this is the connecting end 523 of the elastic piece 520, that is, the supporting part of the elastic piece 520. The other end of the elastic piece 520 is provided with an elbow, which is the free end 525 of the elastic piece 520, that is, the suspended part of the elastic piece 520. The free end 525 of the elastic piece 520 covers a part of the upper opening of the cavity 10, and the connecting end 523 of the elastic piece 520 is used to support the free end 525 to hang in the air.
