The known system serves only for monitoring the operating parameters of the individual devices of the dental equipment, as it cannot diagnose their condition, but monitors whether their operating parameters reach predetermined critical values.

Technical essence of the utility model

The task of the utility model is to create an intelligent system for diagnosis and monitoring of dental equipment to a dental chair, which can monitor the individual devices needed for dental treatment and analyze their technical condition in a timely manner to detect technical problems.

Another task of the utility model is to create an intelligent system for diagnosis and monitoring of dental equipment to the dentist's chair, which will carry out precise monitoring of dentists during dental treatments.

The task is solved by means of an intelligent system for diagnostics and monitoring of dental equipment to a dental chair, which includes groups of sensors connected to a control means which has a two-way connection to a database server.

According to the utility model, the database server is connected in both directions to a data analysis module and an electronic module with a web-based interface.

Explanation of the attached figure

In more detail, the utility model is illustrated in the attached figure 1, which schematically shows the intelligent system for diagnosis and monitoring of dental equipment to a dental chair.

As shown in FIG. 1, the intelligent system for diagnostics and monitoring of dental equipment to a dental chair includes a microcontroller 4, which has a two-way connection to a database server 3. The database server 3 is connected in both directions to data analysis module 1 and electronic module 2 to web based interface.

The second group of sensors II for monitoring the water pump 10 includes a second pressure sensor 5.2, a second speed sensor 6.2 and a second current sensor 7.2. The compressor 8 and the water pump 10 are connected to the first and second flow meters 9.1 and 9.2 respectively. Each of the flow meters 9.1 and 9.2 is connected to the microcontroller 4. The microcontroller 4 has a two-way connection to an electromagnetic switch 18 with input 19 for voltage from the mains and output 20 for supply voltage connected to power supply 21 for powering the system.

Application of the utility model

The dental chair 14 with the accompanying complex system of dental equipment need constant diagnostics of each of the individual devices. This is due to the fact that it is impossible to work on a patient in the presence of a defective instrument. The system of dental equipment to an equipped dental chair 14 includes the following devices with their respective problems:

- compressor 8 - mechanical or electrical damage may occur;

- water pump 10 - mechanical or electrical damage may occur;

- pneumatic nozzle (turbine) - vibrations can occur, which can lead to inability to work;

- pneumatic hoses - it is possible to start leaking air, which leads to increased electricity consumption by the compressor 8 and even inability to work.

With the timely detection of these technical problems, early notification and anticipation of repairs is possible. In the presence of many such dental chairs 14 in one building, it is necessary to carry out precise monitoring of dentists, which includes checks on how many patients are treated daily, the working time for each patient and information about the performed operation. By using the intelligent system for diagnostics and monitoring of the dental equipment to the dental chairs 14, which serves for measurement, storage and visualization of different quantities, these problems can be solved.

The system consists of groups I and II of sensors connected to the microcontroller 4. The microcontroller 4 communicates with the database server 3 for storing the values. The electronic module 2 with web-based interface allows the results to be viewed remotely. The diagnostics of the compressor 8 and the water pump 10 is performed by measuring the current consumption by means of current sensors 5.1 and 5.2, which can be, for example, a Hall sensor. The current consumed gives a result for the load of their electric motors. If there is a systematic increase in consumption2149 Descriptions to certificates for registration of utility models № 04.1 / 15.04.2019 early current, this can be assessed as a deterioration of the parameters of electric motors or related units. The speed sensors 6.1 and 6.2 provide information on the speed of the electric motor and a Hall sensor can be used again for such sensors. The pressure sensors provide information on the pressure of the compressor 8 or the water pump 10. For measurements carried out at the beginning of operation, when the instruments are new, reference values are retained. These values are compared with the measurements made while working with the devices and it is judged whether they are for repair. Pneumatic nozzles operate at very high speeds, which inevitably leads to wear of their bearings. By periodic measurement by means of a vibration sensor 11 the values of the vibrations caused by the rotation of the nozzle are monitored. If the value exceeds a preset threshold value, it is necessary to stop working with this nozzle. The measurement is not carried out during operation, but in a static position, when the pneumatic nozzle is located in a separate socket for tool 12. The pneumatic hoses and their connections are susceptible to bursting. By monitoring many parameters such as pressure, supply current of the compressor 8 and others. it can be determined whether there is a leakage of fluids into the atmosphere.

The active control of the dentists is carried out by installing a touch screen 17 on each device. To use the dentist's chair 14 it is necessary to enter a name and password through the touch screen 17. The weight sensor 13 on the chair 14 gives information if it is currently seated patient. A specialized web application, controlled by the electronic module 2 with a web-based interface, measures the sitting time of each patient and can give an idea of how long it took the individual dentist to perform a specific type of treatment. The microcontroller 4 monitors the activation of buttons and other control elements of the dentist's chair 14. Each procedure consists of a set of sequential events - tool picking, operation, activation of the water pump 10 or compressor 8. This sequence of events is recorded in the server with database 3 and through the electronic module 2 with the web-based interface it is possible to check when and what treatment was performed on a specific dental chair 14.

The intelligent system for diagnostics and monitoring of medical equipment for a dental chair 14, according to the utility model, is used for active monitoring both on the individual devices of the dental equipment when using the dental chairs and on the work of individual doctors during treatment. The system allows for early notification and forecast of equipment wear through the built-in data analysis module 1. The system allows the dentist's chair to be switched on only by entering a user and password, unique for the individual doctor. The control that is carried out in this way prevents abuse by doctors. The information in the database server 3 can be viewed and analyzed for the activity of each doctor and to prevent abuse.

When connected to the network of the intelligent system for diagnosis and monitoring of dental equipment to the dental chair 14, the power supply unit 21 generates the necessary supply voltages to activate the system. The microcontroller 4 visualizes on the touch screen 17 input fields in which a name and password are required. After entering the data and pressing the "login" button, the microcontroller 4 checks whether an account with such a name and password is available in the database server 3. If no such account is available, an error message is displayed and the name and password fields are displayed again. If an account is available, the microcontroller 4 allows the dental equipment to be connected to the dentist's chair 14. This is done by switching the solenoid switch 18. The touch screen 17 requires patient information, examination information and a selected procedure. While the dentist is performing patient treatment actions, the microcontroller 4 traverses the sensors and checks their values, whereby:

- the pressure sensors 5.1 and 5.2 measure the pressures in the compressor 8 and the water pump 10;

- the speed sensors 6.1 and 6.2 measure the rotation speed of the compressor 8 and the water pump 10;

- the current sensors 7.1 and 7.2 measure the values of the electric current consumed by the compressor 8 and the water pump 10;

- the flow meters 9.1 and 9.2 measure the fluid flow of the compressor 8 and the water pump 10;

2150 Descriptions to certificates for registration of utility models № 04.1 / 15.04.2019

- the weight sensor measures and checks if there is a patient on the dentist's chair 14;

- the sensor for active buttons 15 continuously monitors which buttons 16 for controlling the dentist's chair 14 are activated by the doctor during operation.

From the measurements made during operation, the technical condition of the individual devices of the dental equipment of the dental chair 14 is assessed. All measurements are sent periodically to the database server 3 over fixed periods of time. The sequence of activated buttons during the treatment of the dentist's chair 14 is recorded and sent to the database server 3. At the discretion of the physician or by prior notice, the pneumatic tips of the instruments are periodically checked. Their operability is checked by placing them in the tool bed 12 and selecting a function from the touch screen 17. The microcontroller 4 begins to measure the vibrations caused by the rotation of the turbine in the nozzle by means of the vibration sensor 11. After a certain period, the measurement procedure is terminated. the data is displayed on the touch screen 17 and sent to the database server 3 with the exact date and time.

At the end of work, a button on the touch screen 17 is activated, which turns off the electromagnetic switch 18, which interrupts the power supply to the intelligent system.

The electronic module 2 with web-based interface can be accessed via a mobile or computer browser. It can display the data stored on the database server 3. The following data can be viewed in tabular form or in the form of graphs:

- the number and duration of all procedures performed on each dental chair 14;

- according to the sequence of work, it can be traced whether the specified procedure corresponds to the work performed;

- the activated devices and the buttons pressed during operation, as well as the sequence in which this is done;

- the amount of water used by the water pump 10;

- the amount of electricity used;

- system hose pressure and fluid leaks;

- the vibrations of the tips.
