Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

The present application claims the priority of Chinese Patent Application No. 201710369770.7, filed May 23, 2017, the entire disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.

FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the field of tooth orthodontics bracket, and more particularly, to a bracket packaging cartridge and a method for clamping a bracket.

BACKGROUND

Bracket is a component in orthodontic techniques. An arch wire applies various types of orthodontic forces to the teeth via the bracket. The main role of the brackets is to secure the arch wire, so that the arch wire can work better, and transmit the orthodontic force, in order to control the three-dimensional movement of the tooth, and achieve the purpose of orthodontic treatment.

A bracket packaging cartridge is a cartridge for packaging brackets, which can guarantee the safety of products during delivery, and enhance the product grade.

The existing bracket packaging cartridge generally includes a cartridge body, a cover body and an inner support. The inner support is arranged inside the cartridge body, and provided with bracket placement grooves. The bracket placement grooves are used for placing the brackets. When an orthodontist performs an orthodontic treatment, the orthodontist needs to take the brackets out of the bracket placement grooves with a clamping tool. Since both of the teeth and brackets are tilted, the orthodontist needs to make a great adjustment to the clamping angle of the bracket after the bracket being taken out, and attach the bracket onto the tooth. However, the adjustment of the clamping angle of the bracket brings great inconvenience to the orthodontist to perform the orthodontic treatment, and also makes the orthodontic treatment more complicated and increases operation time. In addition, due to the great adjustment of the clamping angle of the bracket, the bracket may be fallen down or even lost at the time of operation. Further, since the positions of the brackets is not limited in the bracket packaging cartridge during transportation or moving, the brackets are easy to fall off, causing the brackets for different tooth positions confusion.

The advantages or principles of the present disclosure will be described below:

1. The bracket packaging cartridge includes a cartridge body, an inner support and a cover body. The inner support is arranged in the cartridge body, and the inner support is provided with a plurality of bracket placement grooves. Each bracket placement groove is adapted to place a bracket. The bracket placement groove has a placement opening portion, a placement side portion and a placement bottom portion. The placement bottom portion of the bracket placement groove is tilted, and the placement bottom portion of the bracket placement groove is at an angle appropriate for clamping to the bottom support surface of the bracket packaging cartridge. Because the placement bottom portion of the bracket placement groove is tilted, the whole of the bracket can be tilted when the bracket is placed in the bracket placement groove, and the bottom edge of the bracket is at an angle appropriate for clamping to the bottom support surface of the bracket packaging cartridge.

When the orthodontist performs an orthodontic treatment, the clamping ends of the clamping tool may be put into the bracket placement groove of the bracket packaging cartridge, and the clamping ends of the clamping tool may be extended from the placement opening portion of the bracket placement groove to the placement bottom portion of the bracket placement groove along the placement side portion of the bracket placement groove, until the clamping ends of the clamping tool are extended to the clamping position of the bracket. The orthodontist may apply clamping force on the clamping tool, so that the bracket is clamped by the clamping ends of the clamping tool. During clamping, the bottom edge of each clamping end of the clamping tool 1 is at an angle appropriate for clamping to the bottom support surface of the bracket packaging cartridge. Then the orthodontist may take the bracket out of the bracket placement groove in a form that the bottom edge of the clamping end of the clamping tool is at an angle appropriate for clamping to the bottom edge of the bracket.

For such bracket packaging cartridge, when clamping the bracket, the orthodontist may use a clamping tool to clamp and take out the bracket at an appropriate angle according to requirements. After the bracket is taken out, the orthodontist makes no adjustment to the clamping angle of the bracket to attach the bracket onto the tooth directly, or makes a slight adjustment if necessary. This brings great convenience to the orthodontic treatment, and simplifies the orthodontic treatment, to significantly reduce duration of operation, and increase efficiency of the orthodontic treatment. In addition, it can avoid influence on the orthodontic treatment caused by the falling or even lost of the bracket since the clamping angle of the bracket should be adjusted largely.

2. In the bracket placement groove, the first placement side portion faces the second placement side portion. The first placement side portion is provided with a first retaining protrusion at the bottom edge of the first placement side portion, and the second placement side portion is provided with a second latch portion at the bottom edge of the second placement side portion. The first retaining protrusion faces the second retaining protrusion. The first retaining protrusion and the second retaining protrusion are configured so that the bracket can be retained to avoid the movement of the bracket in the bracket placement groove, and avoid the bracket falling out from the bracket placement groove, when the bracket is placed in the bracket placement groove. It can effectively ensure the safety of the bracket in transit and improve the protection of the bracket.

3. The first placement side portion is provided with a first side concave between the first retaining protrusion and the placement bottom portion of the bracket placement groove. The second placement side portion is provided with a second side concave between the second retaining protrusion and the placement bottom portion of the bracket placement groove. The first side concave and the second side concave both have curved surfaces. The first side concave and the second recessed portion are configured so that it is convenient to remain the bracket in the bracket placement groove when putting the bracket into the bracket placement groove, and it is also convenient to take the bracket out of the bracket placement groove.

4. The first placement side portion is provided with a first avoiding portion above the first retaining protrusion, and a second placement side portion is provided with a second avoiding portion above the second retaining protrusion. The first avoiding portion and the second avoiding portion are configured to play an avoiding function during putting the bracket into the bracket placement groove or taking the bracket out of the bracket placement groove, which facilitates the bracket into and out of the bracket placement groove.

5. In the bracket placement groove, the third placement side portion faces the fourth placement side portion. The top edge of each of the third placement side portion and the fourth placement side portion is gradually inclined in the direction towards the bottom edge, and the angles formed by the third placement side portion and the placement bottom portion of the bracket placement groove, and formed by the forth placement side portion and the placement bottom portion of the bracket placement groove allow the clamping tool to smoothly enter the bracket placement groove. The third placement side portion and the fourth placement side portion are configured to facilitate the access of the bracket, especially bring great convenience for the orthodontist to clamp the bracket. It thus can effectively improve the efficiency of clamping the bracket.

6. The top edge of each of the third placement side portion and the fourth placement side portion is curved. The bottom edge of each of the third placement side portion and the fourth placement side portion is a straight line. The top edge of each of the third placement side portion and the fourth placement side portion is gradually reduced toward the bottom edge. The placement opening portion of the bracket placement groove becomes smaller toward the placement bottom portion of the bracket placement groove. Such configuration may play a supporting role to retain the bracket, while facilitating the bracket into and out of the bracket placement groove. It shows the rationality of the space design of the bracket placement groove.

7. The bottom surface of the cartridge body is the bottom support surface of the bracket packaging cartridge. The plane of the placement opening portion of the bracket placement groove is parallel to the bottom support surface of the bracket packaging cartridge. The placement bottom portion of the bracket placement groove is an inclined plane, and it is inclined relative to the plane of the placement opening portion of the bracket placement groove.

The angle formed by the overturned cover body and the cartridge body is appropriate for clamping. The bottom support surface of the cover body is the bottom support surface of the bracket packaging cartridge. The angle formed by the placing bottom of the bracket placement groove and the bottom support surface of the bracket packaging cartridge body is appropriate for clamping. After the turning the cover body of the bracket packaging cartridge, when the overturned bracket packaging cartridge is placed on the working table, the cover body is below the cartridge body, the bottom support surface is in contact with the working table, the cartridge body is tilted with respect to the cover body and the working table. The angle formed by the cartridge body and the bottom support surface of the cover body is appropriate for clamping. The angle formed by the placing bottom of the bracket placement groove and the bottom support surface of the bracket packaging cartridge is appropriate for clamping.

9. The cover body is provided with a fastening protrusion, a stop protrusion and a supporting component on a side of the cover body. A certain space is left between the fastening protrusion and the stop protrusion. The supporting component is provided with a rotating hole and a stop groove. The supporting component is rotatablly connected with the fastening protrusion. The stop groove and the stop protrusion match each other. A position protrusion is arranged on the side portion of the cartridge body. The position protrusion and the stop protrusion match each other. After turning the cover body of the bracket packaging cartridge, the position protrusion on the side portion of the cartridge body is engaged with the stop groove of the supporting component. The cartridge body is fastened, and the cartridge body and the cover body form an angle. When the bracket packaging cartridge is placed on the working table after the cover body of the bracket packaging cartridge has been turned, the cover body is below the cartridge body, the bottom support surface of the cover body is in contact with the working table, and the cartridge body is tilted in respect with the cover body and the working table. The angle formed by the cartridge body and the bottom support surface of the cover body is appropriate for clamping. The angle formed by the placement bottom portion of the bracket placement groove and the bottom support surface of the cover body is appropriate for clamping.

When the bracket packaging cartridge is closed, the stop groove of the supporting component may cooperate with the stop protrusion on the side portion of the cover body to fasten the supporting component.

10. The configuration of the position groove on the supporting component may be used to change the relative position between the cartridge body and the cover body, to adjust the angle formed by the cartridge body and the cover body.

11. The bottom support surface is absorbable or attachable onto the working table. When the overturned bracket packaging cartridge is placed on the working table, the bottom support surface can play a good skid resistant function. The bottom support surface is connected with the working table in a skid resistant form, thus there is a greater friction coefficient. During the usage, the friction force between the bottom support surface and the working table is great. The bracket packaging cartridge is difficult to move under a general force, it thus plays an anti-skid role.

12. The lower surface of another end of the cartridge body is provided with the step. When the bracket packaging cartridge is placed on the working table, the bottom support surface of the step is the bottom support surface of the bracket packaging cartridge, the another end of the cartridge body is inclined to one end of the cartridge body, the placement bottom portion of the bracket placement groove is inclined, and the placement bottom portion of the bracket placement groove is at an angle appropriate for clamping to the bottom support surface of the bracket packaging cartridge.

13. The inner support is provided with at least one inclined portion, and the surface of the inclined portion is at an angle appropriate for clamping to the bottom support surface of the bracket packaging cartridge. A plurality of bracket placement grooves are arranged on the inclined portion of the inner support, the placement bottom portion of the bracket placement groove is tilted, the placement bottom portion of the bracket placement groove is at an angle appropriate for clamping to the bottom support surface of the bracket packaging cartridge, and the placement bottom portion of the bracket placement groove is parallel to the inclined portion of the inner support. When the bracket packaging cartridge is placed on the working table, the angle formed by the placement bottom portion of the bracket placement groove and bottom support surface of the bracket packaging cartridge is appropriate for clamping.

14. The brackets placed in the bracket placement grooves are arranged in a same direction and a same occlusal direction as the brackets to be attached on the tooth surfaces. In this way, the orthodontist does not need to adjust the position of the bracket after taking the bracket out of the bracket placement groove. It can facilitate the orthodontist to accurately and quickly clamp the bracket and attach the bracket to a corresponding tooth.
