Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a partition unit for a dental clinic, and more specifically, a predetermined clinic space is divided into a plurality of dental clinic unit spaces, and organic The present invention relates to a partition unit for a dental clinic that enables targeted and rational treatment.

(Prior Art) Recently, in dental clinics, a plurality of dental treatment tables and auxiliary equipment such as cabinets are installed as appropriate, and a surgeon (hereinafter referred to as a doctor and hygienist) Systems have come into use in which a plurality of patients are treated by an operator who moves from one dental treatment table to another, or by an operator assigned to each treatment table. In this case, it is necessary to partition each treatment space in some way to protect patient privacy or to block the line of sight of patients and surgeons on adjacent treatment tables.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) As a means of partitioning the medical unit spaces as described above, it is possible to construct fixed walls at the boundaries of each space, but construction of such fixed walls requires extensive construction. Moreover, there were problems in that the cost was high, and once it was constructed, it could not be easily changed afterwards. In particular, in treatment with the above system, rational and organic movements of each operator are extremely important for efficient treatment, and this is closely related to the structure of the fixed wall, etc. The concept of efficient treatment changes over time as each device improves, so the drawback of not being able to easily make subsequent changes can be said to be fatal.

Therefore, there is a storage section for various dental treatment instruments and materials.

Cabinets equipped with all ancillary equipment and equipment such as hand washing sinks, dental light hanger arms, and X-ray imaging equipment are piped at appropriate intervals to form clinical unit spaces, and dental treatment is provided in each unit space. Plumbing of the stand also began to be done. In this case, since the cabinet serves as a partition and is movable, it is economical and it is possible to cope with changes over time in the concept of treatment efficiency. However, since it is divided only by the cabinet, the length of the cabinet must be at least the length of the dental treatment table, and as mentioned above, it is equipped with many auxiliary devices and equipment necessary for dental treatment. Although it is convenient because the cabinet is large, it is difficult to move the cabinet in response to changes in the above-mentioned concept of treatment efficiency over time, and it also gives a feeling of intimidation to the patient. There were also inconveniences such as the impossibility of properly piping and changing equipment, etc. according to individual characteristics.

The present invention has been made in view of the above, and it is possible to very easily partition a predetermined medical treatment space, and to enable rational medical treatment within the partitioned unit space, as well as to improve the individuality of the surgeon and the treatment. It is an object of the present invention to provide a new partition unit for a dental clinic that can be easily modified as appropriate in accordance with changes in efficiency concepts over time.

(Means for Solving the Problems) A dental clinic partition unit of the present invention that achieves the above object will be explained based on the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view showing an example of a dental clinic using the partition unit of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an enlarged perspective view of the mouth line area in FIG. Fig. 4 is a similar view of a modification of Fig. 3, Figs. 5 and 6 are similar perspective views of other embodiments, Fig. 7 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the connecting portion between partition walls, and Fig. 8 is a similar view of a modified embodiment of Fig. 3. Figure 7 is a sectional view taken along the line ■ to ■; Figure 9 is a sectional view taken along the line IX-IX in Figure 7;

The straight partition wall 1 and the curved partition wall 2 can be freely connected and separated, and at least one pair is connected to each other to provide a partition, but another curved partition wall 2 is connected to the other end of the straight partition wall 1. It is also possible to do so. In this case, the direction of curvature of both curved partition walls 2.2 is appropriately selected depending on the conditions of the installation location and the motif of the operator.

Furthermore, it is also possible to attach a storage table 6 to the curved partition wall 2 for temporarily storing patient's belongings or for placing interior decoration items such as potted plants. It is desirable to install a balance arm 51 on the straight partition wall 1 to support the dental light 5 in a rotatable and bendable manner. erected,
It is also possible to install the balance arm 51 thereon.

These partition walls 1 and 2 are installed on the spherical surface of the medical treatment space, but their height only needs to be to the extent that they block the line of sight between patients, so a height that is slightly higher than the height of a human being is sufficient. . With such a height, the space between the upper part of the partition walls 1 and 2 and the ceiling is an open space, giving a sense of openness to each compartment treatment unit space, and giving the surgeon a sense of openness in the adjacent unit 1 space. This is convenient for confirming the presence or absence of a patient.

Furthermore, if a semi-transparent panel (frosted glass or semi-transparent synthetic resin board) or a semi-transparent panel such as a fine punching panel is fitted into the entire or upper half of the partition wall 1.2, the inside of each unit space can be seen. As mentioned above, it is also effective for the operator to confirm the presence or absence of a patient, and these are selected as appropriate, taking into account the sense of interior design.

The straight partition wall 1, the curved partition wall 2, and the cabinet 3 are provided with a space 11.21.35 for power distribution lines and/or piping, and the partition walls 1.2 are connected to each other, and the cabinet 3 is attached. Sometimes these cavities 11, 21, 35 are connected and aligned in series, or distribution lines and/or cables are installed in the straight partition wall 1, the curved partition wall 2 and the cabinet 3.
Alternatively, if the piping 7... is made in advance, and when the partition walls 1 and 2 are connected and the cabinet 3 is attached, these distribution lines and/or the piping 7... can be connected and matched in a negative manner. This is convenient for the division of a medical room and the installation layout of equipment. Here, the power distribution line and/or piping 7 . . . refers to a power supply distribution line, water supply/drainage, supply/exhaust piping, etc. used for dental handpieces, dental lights, and other dental treatment equipment.

It is preferable to adopt the The cabinet 3 is configured such that its back surface is in close contact with the curved inner surface of the curved partition wall 2, and the upper half of the curved partition wall 2 protrudes from the top workbench 33 of the cabinet 3. It is also possible that the hem of the wall 2 ends at the top workbench 33 of the dental treatment cabinet 3 so that the outer surface of the cabinet 3 is exposed. In addition, it is also desirable that a multi-purpose table 34 for arranging medical records, preparing impression materials, or counseling patients is provided in conjunction with the cabinet 3.

(Function) A method of partitioning the medical treatment space R as shown in FIG. 1 using the partition unit having the above configuration will be described.

First, the straight partition wall 1 and the curved partition wall 2 are connected, and these partition walls 1.2 are placed at appropriate intervals M9 on the floor of the medical treatment space R to create a plurality of medical unit spaces R1... Form a compartment. The straight partition wall 1 and the curved partition wall 2 can be connected in an abbreviated shape, an S-shape, or a dish shape when viewed from above, depending on the conditions of the installation site or the motif of the operator. be selected as appropriate. Next, the dental treatment cabinet 3 is installed along the wall surface of the partition wall 1 or 2 of each treatment unit space R1, preferably along the curved inner surface of the curved partition wall 2. Furthermore, each medical unit space R
1, a dental treatment table 4 is installed with the head portion 41 facing the cabinet 3 and with a working space for the operator between the cabinet 3 and the cabinet 3. This completes the basic division construction of the medical treatment space using the partition unit of the present invention.

Each medical unit space R1 divided by the above
... are parallel to each other and each includes an open access space R3..., and the open access space R3...
Preferably, they are formed so as to open into a passage space R2 which is mutually connected to these through the passage space R2. Moreover, within each medical treatment unit space R1 divided in this way, it is desirable that each dental treatment table 4 is installed with its body axes parallel to each other.

Each medical unit space R1 divided as described above is substantially formed by combining the straight partition wall 1 and the curved partition wall 2, so that the open space R3 for entrance and exit is Including, the majority of the surrounding area is these partition walls 1
．． Surrounded by 2.

In each medical unit space R1..., dental treatment is performed for each patient, and patients in the unit space R1 are separated from other patients or surgeons in the adjacent unit space R1 by a partition wall 1.2. Since the line of sight is blocked, the patient can receive treatment on the dental treatment table 4 comfortably and without feeling intimidated. On the other hand, the doctor is seated between a cabinet 3 and a treatment table 4 installed in each treatment unit space R1, and dental treatment instruments, etc. (not shown) provided on the treatment table 4 and the cabinet 3. In addition, the hygienist prepares impression materials on the top workbench 33, and also uses the hand washing sink 32 as appropriate.

(Example) Next, an example will be described.

(Example-1) FIG. 2 shows two curved partition walls 2 at both ends of a straight partition wall 1.
2 are connected in an S-shape, and a plurality of them are piped in parallel to form a medical treatment space (medical room) R into a plurality of medical unit spaces R1.
An example of partitioning is shown below. Each unit space R1...
A dental treatment cabinet 3... is attached along the curved inner surface of each curved partition wall 2... corresponding to the same position,
The cabinet 3... has the above-mentioned multi-purpose table 34.
... are installed in succession.

A movable cabinet 3a that stores dental treatment instruments, etc. is piped in the space below the table 34, and the operator pulls out this movable cabinet 3a at hand during treatment, and uses it together with the treatment instruments, etc. in the cabinet 3. This corresponds to treatment. Moreover, the above-mentioned storage table 6... is attached to the curved inner surface of each of the other curved partition walls 2....

These partition walls 1..., 2... and the cabinet 3 etc. form a medical unit space R1..., and within each medical unit space R1, the head part 41 faces the cabinet 3 and is connected to the cabinet 3. A dental treatment table 4 is installed with a working space for the operator secured between the two.

In FIG. 1, the medical unit space R1... is formed at a certain distance from one wall surface R4 of the medical treatment space R, and this wall surface R4 and unit 1-space R1...
The space between them is designated as passage space R2. The passage space R2 is connected to each unit space R1 via an open space R3 for access to each unit space R1...
...is connected to... If space allows, it is also possible to create a space between it and the other wall surface R5 of the medical treatment space R and use this as another passage space, thereby distinguishing it into a patient entrance passage and an exit passage. This is also desirable. Although not shown in the figure, at the entrance of each unit space R1 (for example, the curved outer surface of the curved partition wall 2),
If a room number indicator light is provided, the patient can be accurately instructed which room to enter, and it is extremely convenient for the operator etc. to confirm the presence or absence of a patient.

A swingable and bendable hanger arm 51 extends from the upper end of the straight partition wall 1, and dental lights (shadowless lights) 5 are arranged in several stages at the tip of the hanger arm 51. The dental light 5 is manually operated by an operator to irradiate the oral cavity of a patient lying on the dental treatment table 4. Additionally, a monitor television 8 and a film viewer 9 are installed at the upper end of the straight partition wall 1.
The monitor television 8 makes it possible to teach the patient how to undergo treatment through video, and the film viewer 9 makes it possible to explain diseased areas using X-ray images. The controller for these monitor television 8 and film viewer 9 is in the cabinet 3.
The controller allows the operator to operate these while sitting at the treatment position.

(Example-2) In Fig. 3, as above, an S-shaped partition unit is constructed by one straight partition wall 1 and two curved partition walls 2, 2 connected to both ends of the straight partition wall 1. However, this differs from the above in that the cabinet 3.3 is attached to the curved inner surface of the curved partition wall 2.2 at a diagonal position. The relative position of the dental treatment table 4 with respect to the cabinet 3 is that the head part 41 is in the cabinet 3 as described above.
Therefore, the dental treatment tables 4.4 adjacent to each other with the partition unit in between are parallel to each other, but their directions are opposite to each other.

This embodiment is effective when the predetermined medical treatment space R is narrow and only two medical treatment unit spaces R1 and R1 can be partitioned.

In addition, as shown in the left side part of Fig. 1, if this is applied to the end of the series of medical treatment units, space R1, etc. in Example-1, the space at the end can be used effectively. I can do it. Furthermore, if they are used in combination as shown in the part shown by the black line on the right side of the same figure, one medical treatment unit space R1 having substantially two medical treatment spaces is formed between adjacent partition units, and this can be used for example for a parent and child patient. It is also possible to use it as a medical treatment space.

Other auxiliary devices and the like are the same as those described above, so their explanation will be omitted here.

Although Fig. 1 shows an example in which the partition units of Example-1 and Example-2 are used in combination, it is possible to use only one of these or only the partition unit of the example described later, or even to use them in combination. Needless to say, it is also possible to provide it separately.

In this case, the semi-transparent straight partition wall 1 blocks the line of sight from the adjacent unit space R1, but the presence or absence of a patient in the same space R1 can be confirmed through the partition wall 1, and the operator Convenient for therapeutic work. Also,
By configuring it in a dish shape, it has a different feel from the above. The other configurations are the same as above.

(Example 5) FIG. 6 shows an example in which a curved partition wall 2 is connected to one end of a straight partition wall 1, and a partition column 10 is erected along the other end. A rotatable and bendable hanger arm 51 extends from the upper end of the partition column 10, and several stages of dental lights 5 are arranged at the tip of the hanger arm 51. In addition, a film viewer 9 and a spittoon 10a are installed in the middle of the partition column 10 so as to be horizontally rotatable, and during treatment, these are directed toward the patient on the treatment table 4, and when the patient enters and exits, etc. It is designed so that it can be rotated to a position where it does not get in the way.

This embodiment is effective in cases where there are limited medical treatment spaces and funds, and when used in combination with the above embodiments, it is possible to use the space even more effectively. The other configurations are the same as above.

Note that the configuration of the partition unit is not limited to the above embodiment, and the partition walls 1.2 may be appropriately combined to form a rectangular surrounding unit space with one side open, or a door unit (not shown) may be used together to form a square surrounding unit space. It is also possible to create an enclosed unit space in the form of a private room and use it as an X-ray imaging room.

However, in the latter case, X on the partition wall 1.2 and the door unit.
It is necessary to attach a lead plate that can interrupt the line. Furthermore, although not shown in the figure, it is also possible to arrange a changing locker or a simple storage locker in series with the partition wall 1.2.
