Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a medical examination table, and particularly to a medical examination table suitable for dental use.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventional medical examination tables generally have a leather sheet surface in consideration of chemical resistance. The surface of such medical examination tables is felt cold in winter. Also, when the patient is nervous, such as tooth extraction, or when treating for a long period of time, it feels stuffy and hot.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 Therefore, a technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a more comfortable medical examination table.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems and Functions / Effects]

 The present invention provides a medical couch with the following configuration to solve the above technical problems.

[0005] The medical examination table is of a type provided with a consultation chair. A surface temperature adjusting means for adjusting the temperature of the surface of the medical chair is provided in the medical chair.

According to the above configuration, the surface temperature of the medical chair can be adjusted by the surface temperature adjusting means, so that the user can be more comfortable when sitting on the medical chair.

[0007] The surface temperature adjusting means can be configured in various modes.

For example, a heater or a cooling unit may be provided in a medical chair.

Preferably, the surface temperature adjusting means includes a flow path through which a fluid for temperature adjustment passes.

In the above configuration, the surface of the medical chair can be heated or cooled by flowing, for example, hot water or cold water through the flow path in the medical chair. For example, since a dental couch is provided with a water supply pipe and a drain pipe for spittons, it is easy to use these to flow hot or cold water through the flow path.

[0011] Furthermore, the surface of the medical chair can be heated or cooled by, for example, flowing hot air or cold air through the flow path in the medical chair. For example, a dental clinic is equipped with an air supply pipe for medical equipment such as an air turbine, and it is easy to use this to supply hot or cold air to the flow path.

[0012] Preferably, the medical examination table is provided with a medical chair having an air outlet formed on a surface thereof, a channel disposed in the chair, communicating with the air outlet, and disposed in the channel. Peltier device.

[0013] According to the above configuration, the air in the flow path is heated or cooled by the Peltier element, and becomes hot air or cold air to be blown out from the air blowout hole on the surface of the medical chair. This allows the surface of the chair to be warmed and cooled.

In the above configuration, a fan for feeding air into the flow path may be provided, and air may be blown out from an air blowout hole on the surface of the medical chair.

[0015] Preferably, air is supplied to the channel from a pressure air source supplied to the medical examination table as a working medium of the medical instrument.

According to the above configuration, the air for the medical instrument is also used to blow out from the air blowing hole of the medical chair, so that there is no need to provide a fan for sending air into the flow path. Therefore, the configuration is simplified.

[0017] Preferably, the medical chair is a leather sheet having on its surface a plurality of fine holes forming the air blowing holes.

[0018] In general, a leather sheet may feel cold, for example, in winter, and may feel hot and humid in summer, but according to the above configuration, air is blown out from fine holes in the surface to form a leather sheet. By adjusting the temperature, a comfortable state can be obtained at any time.

[0019]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, the medical examination table 2 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

The medical examination table 2 is also a dental table, and includes a chair 10, a spitton 4, and a lighting unit 6, as shown in the front view of FIG.

The spittons 4 are supported by a basin pole 5. A water supply pipe 80 and a drain pipe 82 that are set up from under the floor are connected to the spitton 4.

The chair 10 includes a base 12, a seat 16, a backrest 14, and a headrest 15.

In the base portion 12, an air pipe 84 raised from under the floor for a medical instrument 86 such as an air turbine, and a lifting unit (not shown) for raising and lowering the seat 16 are arranged.

Further, as shown in the main part configuration diagram of FIG. 2, a substantially L-shaped first flow path 24 is arranged in the base portion 12. The fan 20 is disposed near the lower end opening 24 a of the first flow path 24, and the Peltier element 22 is disposed in the first flow path 24. The Peltier device 22 has a first fin 22a and a second fin 22b, and heats and cools air depending on the direction in which current flows. The first flow path 24 is divided into a first fin 22a side and a second fin 22b side, and an exhaust port 24c is provided on the second fin 22b side.

A second flow path 25 a and a third flow path 25 b communicating with the other end opening 24 b of the first flow path 24 are provided in the interior 14 c and 16 c of the backrest 14 and the seat 16. A plurality of fine holes, that is, air blowing holes 14a and 16a are formed in the surfaces 14b and 16b of the backrest portion 14 and the seat portion 16, and communicate with the second flow passage 25a and the third flow passage 25b. It is supposed to. Leather surfaces are used for the surfaces 14b and 16b of the backrest portion 14 and the seat portion 16 in consideration of chemical resistance.

Next, the operation of adjusting the temperature of the surfaces 14b and 16b of the backrest 14 and the seat 16 of the medical chair 10 will be described.

The fan 20 operates to send air into the first flow path 24. The fed air is heated or cooled by applying a current to the Peltier element 22 in an appropriate direction.

At the time of heating, the air sent by the fan 20 is heated by the first fins 22a and cooled by the second fins 22b. At the time of cooling, the air sent by the fan 20 is cooled by the first fin 22a and heated by the second fin 22b.

Then, the air heated or cooled by the first fin 22a is discharged from the second flow path 25a and the third flow path 25b to the outside through the air blowing holes 14a and 16a. As a result, the inside 14c, 16c of the backrest portion 14 and the seat portion 16 of the medical chair 10 are heated or cooled, and the surfaces 14b, 16b are also heated or cooled.

On the other hand, the air cooled or heated by the second fins 22 b is discharged from the discharge port 24 c of the first flow path 24.

As described above, since the backrest 14 and the surfaces 14 b and 16 b of the seat 16 can be appropriately heated or cooled by using the Peltier element 22, the patient can sit on the medical chair 10. Can be more comfortable at the time.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, but can be implemented in various other modes.

For example, since there is an air pipe 84 for the medical instrument 86, air for heating or cooling may be supplied using the air pipe 84. In this case, since the fan 20 need not be provided, the configuration is simplified.

For example, instead of passing air through the backrest portion 14 and the interior portions 14c and 16c of the seat portion 16 of the medical chair 10, a flow path for flowing cold or hot water is provided to perform cooling or heating. Is also good. Since the water supply pipe 80 and the drain pipe 82 are provided for the spitton 4, it is easy to use them to flow cold water or hot water through the flow path.

Alternatively, a heater and a cooling device may be provided in the interior 14 c and 16 c of the backrest 14 and the seat 16 of the medical chair 10.

Further, a sensor for detecting a temperature or a sensor for detecting a flow rate may be provided to perform more advanced control.

The medical examination table of the present invention can be widely used not only for dental use but also for medical use.
