Therefore, in the following, a lattice structure that is designed with a relatively simple shape and can be easily manufactured by punching will be described.
  • the lattice bridge 10 has an inner refraction point 17 projecting at an acute angle toward the inside of a certain lattice opening 30 and an outer refraction projecting at an acute angle toward the outside of the certain opening 30.
  • the two points 18 are refracted into an S shape.
  • the shape of the lattice bridge 10 can also be referred to as being refracted into a Z shape.
  • the angle between the inner refraction point 17 and the outer refraction point 18 is, for example, 60 degrees.
  • each lattice opening 30 is defined by being surrounded by six lattice bridges 10 and six lattice points 20. That is, the lattice opening 30 includes a hexagonal main opening 32 and six subordinate openings having a certain rotational direction extending from one end of each side of the main opening 32 onto an extension line of each side. A portion 34 is defined.
  • Constant rotational directionality means, for example, that each of six subordinate openings 34 formed in a straight line is regularly 60 degrees in comparison with the adjacent subordinate openings 34. It means that it is inclined to.
  • the main opening 32 is preferably a regular hexagon.
  • the subordinate opening part 34 is linear form.
  • the lattice bridge 10 has a shape that is refracted at two points of the inner refraction point 17 and the outer refraction point 18, and all the lattice bridges 10 have substantially the same shape. However, it can be manufactured by punching the plurality of lattice openings 30. For this reason, the lattice structure shown in FIG. 19 can be manufactured with high productivity and at low cost, and is suitable for mass production.
  • the lattice bridge 10 includes a first inner refraction point 17 a and a second inner refraction point 17 b that project at an obtuse angle toward the inside of a certain lattice opening 30, and the certain lattice opening.
  • the light is refracted at four points, ie, a first outer refraction point 18a and a second outer refraction point 18b, which project at an obtuse angle toward the outside of 30.
  • the angle of each refraction point is 120 degrees, for example.
  • each lattice opening 30 is defined by being surrounded by six lattice bridges 10 and six lattice points 20. For this reason, the lattice opening 30 extends on the extended line of one side that forms the acute angle end from each acute angle end of the main opening 30 and a dodecagonal main opening 32 in which an acute angle and an obtuse angle continue alternately.
  • Six secondary openings 34 having a constant rotational direction are defined.
  • An example of the acute angle of the main opening 32 is 60 degrees.
  • An example of the obtuse angle of the main opening 32 is 240 degrees.
  • the lattice opening 30 is preferably a regular hexagonal star shape.
  • the subordinate opening part 34 is linear form.
  • the lattice structure shown in FIG. 20 can also be manufactured by punching because the lattice opening 30 has a relatively simple shape. Furthermore, in the lattice structure shown in FIG. 20, the lattice bridge 10 is formed in an S-shape having four refraction points, and can expand and contract relatively flexibly. Therefore, the lattice structure shown in FIG. 20 can be molded flexibly, and has an advantage that it is easily adapted to the biological characteristics of a patient receiving an implant treatment, for example.
  • FIG. 21 shows a piece 400 extracted from the lattice pattern of the lattice structure 100 according to the present invention.
  • the piece 400 has substantially the same shape as the lattice opening 30 of the lattice structure 100.
  • the pieces 400 can be spread without gaps when connected. Since the piece aggregate in which the pieces 400 are spread has a large area bonded between the pieces 400, the frictional force between the pieces 400 is high and cannot be easily detached. In addition, since the piece aggregate is isotropic, it has a uniform stress against impacts from all directions. Therefore, the piece 400 can be suitably used as, for example, a tile spread on the road. In addition, since the piece aggregate in which the pieces 400 are spread expresses a very complicated geometric pattern, the pieces 400 can be used as, for example, pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.
  • FIG. 22 is a photograph showing an example in which the lattice structure according to the present invention is applied to a human bone.
  • a plate-like lattice structure is cut into a size corresponding to the shape of a human bone to be applied, and attached to a human skull, jaw bone, femur, and joint.
  • the lattice structure on the flat plate is curved three-dimensionally to fix bone fragments or bridge bone defects, and is fixed to various human bones by bone screws.
  • the lattice structure of the present invention is flexibly curved, not only a flat bone region, but also a bone surface curved in an uneven shape or a spherical shape is brought into close contact. Can be installed.
  • FIG. 23 is a photograph showing an example in which the lattice structure according to the present invention is applied as a lattice structure for alveolar bone formation.
  • the lattice structure according to the present invention when used for alveolar bone formation, nuts are fitted into the lattice openings. Artificial teeth (superstructure) are screwed and fixed to the nuts fitted in the lattice openings.
  • the lattice structure according to the present invention can be used as an implant.
  • the stability of the artificial tooth root and the artificial tooth is increased, so that the dental implant can be fixed without waiting for bone growth.
  • FIG. 24 is a photograph showing an example in which two lattice structures according to the present invention are pressed and connected using rivets.
  • the grid structure according to the present invention can expand the area of the structure by pressing the plurality of grid structures with rivets and continuing to connect them.
  • a rivet especially a blind rivet
  • the area of the lattice can be expanded while maintaining mechanical characteristics such as shape followability and elasticity.
  • the lattice structure according to the present invention can be molded in a three-dimensional direction.
  • the lattice structure according to the present invention is flexible and has high stretchability. Therefore, the lattice structure according to the present invention is, for example, a lattice structure on a flat plate that requires biocompatibility, a cylindrical lattice structure such as a stent or an implant, and a lattice structure formed into a spherical shape. It can be suitably used.

Abstract

La présente invention a pour but de proposer une grille souple et hautement étirable. En outre, la présente invention a pour but de proposer une grille qui, par ajustement du module d'élasticité au moyen de la structure du matériau de celle-ci, peut être amenée à se conformer au module d'élasticité d'un matériau à composer. À cet effet, selon l'invention, la structure de grille (100) comprend : une pluralité de ponts de grille (10) qui sont incurvés ou courbés selon une forme en S ; et une pluralité de points de grille au niveau desquels les extrémités de trois ponts de grille (10) parmi la pluralité de ponts de grille (10) sont assemblées. En outre, la pluralité de ponts de grille (10) et la pluralité de points de grille (20) délimitent une pluralité d'ouvertures de grille (30). Par conséquent, chacune des ouvertures de grille (30) est délimitée en étant renfermée par six ponts de grille (10) et six points de grille (20) parmi la pluralité de ponts de grille (10) et la pluralité de points de grille (20). En conséquence, la structure de grille (100) est souple et a une extensibilité élevée.
