In Patent Document 2, a space that surrounds a medical table is formed by a partitionable member, and a sterilizing blower is placed on the floor in the space to blow sterilized air.
Japanese Patent Application No. 2006-275411 ACT 6-59546

  The problem to be solved is that the dental treatment unit moving in the moving cabinet must have a connection port for connecting electricity, piping, etc. at the destination, and it is necessary for dental treatment other than the unit When various kinds of medical facilities are used in the cabinet, it is necessary to connect electricity, piping, etc. at the destination, which is troublesome at the time of use.

In the present invention, a connection port for connecting electricity, piping, etc. of various medical facilities necessary for a dental care unit and dental care, or a connection port of a radiation imaging apparatus is provided in a moving cabinet, and the connection port and the supply source are connected. In addition, a connecting means for connecting the connecting member such as a cable or a hose so as to extend freely through the protective chain is provided.
In addition, one or more sterilization means for sterilizing, sterilizing, or disinfecting the storage space or the medical space is mounted on the moving cabinet.

  The present invention provides a moving cabinet provided with a connection port for a dental care unit and a radiography apparatus, and connects the connection port and a supply source in a freely stretchable manner with a connecting member such as a cable or a hose via a protective chain. This saves the trouble of connecting at the destination and eliminates the need to provide connection ports at a plurality of locations on the floor or wall.

  In addition, by installing one or more sterilization means for sterilization, sterilization or disinfection in the mobile cabinet, it is possible to save time and effort to place the sterilization means in the medical room or radiation protection room formed by the mobile cabinet. Medical treatment can be performed in a sterilized clean space. In addition, the entire medical facility can be sterilized, sterilized, or disinfected by operating a device such as sterilization, sterilization, or sterilization when stored after medical treatment. Furthermore, the moving cabinet having this configuration has an advantage that a multipurpose space can be formed by moving.

  A connection port is provided in the mobile cabinet to protect the connection between the connection port and the supply source in order to save the trouble of connecting the dental care unit and radiography equipment at the destination each time the mobile cabinet is moved. By connecting with a connecting member such as a cable or a hose via a chain, it was possible to connect without providing a connection port on the floor or wall surface.

As shown in FIG. 4B , the panoramic X-ray device 26 can be folded while being connected to the connection port 4 and stored in the moving cabinet 2 at the end of the medical treatment . A multipurpose space can be formed by folding the protective partition 25 and bringing each mobile cabinet 2 to one side.

  FIG. 5A shows an example in which the operating room area is formed by the moving cabinet 2. The operating room is covered with an openable partition 29 of two mobile cabinets 2, and a dental unit 1, a doctor chair 24, an ozone sterilizer 30, an air barrier system (air purifier) 31, etc. are arranged in the room. Everything except the doctor chair 24 is connected to the connection port 4. A door 32 is incorporated in the openable partition 29 and serves as an entrance to the operating room.

As shown in FIG. 5 (b) , the dental unit 1 is stored while being connected to the connection port 4 of one mobile cabinet 2 (left side), and the ozone sterilizer 30 and air are stored in the other mobile cabinet 2 (right side). The barrier system 31 is accommodated while being connected to the connection port 4, the partition 29 is rotated around the rotation shaft 33, and the door 32 is rotated and closed. This makes it possible to form the multipurpose space by bringing the moving cabinet 2 to one side.
Note that the openable partition 29 may be housed in the side wall of the movable cabinet as a multistage partition configured to be extendable. The devices to be connected are not limited to the above example, and various devices other than the above can be connected. For example, a PC terminal such as a medical chart computer or a printer may be connected in the office area. In the hygiene area, an ultrasonic cleaner, an impression material kneader, etc., and in the clinical area, various measurements such as a root canal length measuring device, tooth mobility measuring device, mandibular movement analysis device, occlusal sound diagnostic device, blood pressure monitoring device In the X-ray room area, a diagnostic X-ray apparatus, a dental CT apparatus, a dental CT apparatus, an MRI apparatus, a film developing apparatus, an image processing apparatus, and a display apparatus may be connected.

6 and 7 show a second embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 6 (a) is a front view of an electromagnet base locking device, (b) is an explanatory view of the operation, and FIG. 7 (a) is an anchor / latch type base. The front view of a locking device and (b) are the operation explanatory views.
In the present invention, since the dental care unit 1 and the moving cabinet 2 need to be fixed to the floor surface except during the movement, this fixing means will be described in the present embodiment.

As an example of the fixing means, an electromagnet base lock device shown in FIG. 6 can be used. In this apparatus, an electromagnet 42 is provided in the center of a base 41 that is fixed to the lower part of the dental care unit 1 or the mobile cabinet 2. The spring 44 is always lifted upward by the bias of the spring 44 via the fixing bracket 45. On the other hand, a suction plate 46 made of an iron plate is fixed to the floor 58 with screws 47. In the electromagnet base lock device of this configuration, when energized, a magnetic force is generated in the electromagnet 42, descends against the bias of the spring 44, and is attracted to the attracting plate 46, and its position is fixed. Further, when the energization is stopped, the electromagnet 42 loses the magnetic force, the adsorption is released and the magnet 41 is lifted, the fixation is released, and the base 41 can be moved. Reference numeral 48 denotes a power cord.

As another example of the fixing means, an anchor / latch base lock device can be used. As shown in FIG. 7 (a), this apparatus is provided with a latch structure 50 on the upper surface of a base 49 fixed to the lower part of the dental care unit 1 or the mobile cabinet 2, and this latch structure 50 has a pair of left and right latches 51. It is provided and is always advanced to the center by the bias of the spring 52. A wire 53 is attached to the latch 51, and the latch 51 can be retracted by pulling the wire 53 to both sides. On the other hand, a solenoid 55 for raising and lowering the anchor 54 is fixed to the floor surface 58 with screws 56. In the anchor / latch type base lock device of this configuration, when the solenoid 55 is energized, the anchor 54 is raised, and the raised anchor 54 is automatically latched in the groove 57 formed at the upper end thereof by the bias of the spring 52. The anchor 54 is clamped by being depressed and engaged, and its position is fixed. Further, when the energization is stopped and the wire 53 is pulled to both sides, the latch 51 is removed from the groove 57, the anchor 54 is lowered, the fixing is released, and the base 49 can be moved. Reference numeral 59 denotes a power cord.

  The fixing means is not limited to the above example, and a commercially available caster with stopper, hammer lock, or a method of inserting a pin into a hole provided on the floor surface may be adopted.

  As described above, the flexible mobile cabinet of the present invention is provided with the connection port 4 in the mobile cabinet 2, and the cable and the hose 6 which are connecting members are always connected between the connection port 4 and the supply source 5 via the protective chain 7. By connecting in a freely stretchable manner while being connected, it is not necessary to connect each time it moves to an arbitrary position, and medical treatment can be started immediately. Therefore, the labor of connection can be saved. Furthermore, if a disinfecting means is mounted on the mobile cabinet 2, the space formed in the mobile cabinet 2 or the storage space can be disinfected and kept clean.

  In the present invention, the protection chain is used as the connecting means. However, the present invention is not limited to the protection chain, and a cable, piping, or the like may be used.
