Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a wireless remote control device for a dental treatment table.

The dental treatment table is equipped with a control device that raises and lowers the seat to obtain the optimal treatment posture.
In addition, the hard piece and the syringe control device (7-
): ff7) 0-5) Chikara et al.

However, these control devices are connected to the 7J''L and 9 treatment tables by electric wires and air pipes.In general, a dedicated control device is connected by wire to each treatment table. When performing treatments that require different types of treatment on the treatment table, or when the operator changes, the table can be placed in the optimal position according to these conditions.
For example, it may be necessary to change the position of the foot controller (some models come with a hanging bracket to make it easier to carry the foot controller).
However, the movement of the foot controller is restricted by the length of the connecting hose, and the long connecting hose poses a problem for the feet.

It was also considered that a 7-D controller could be attached to the surgeon's chair (lol Kosho No. 57-54826), but since it was a wired connection, it also had the drawback of being an obstruction to the feet. There are still problems in practical application.

Therefore, this release F! A is to eliminate the above-mentioned wired connection and ensure the ease of movement of the foot controller, and furthermore, by equipping the foot controller with a switch for controlling the seat posture, it is possible to use a single foot controller. The purpose of the present invention is to enable at least seat posture control and handpiece drive control, thereby simplifying operation.

That is, in the present invention, the foot controller is provided with at least a seat posture control command tool and a handpiece control command tool, and these command tools are configured to transmit a selected control command code by photoelectric conversion or electromechanical conversion. and means for receiving the transmitted signal at the treatment table;
The present invention is characterized in that a circuit is provided to determine the command code corresponding to the received signal, and the determined output of this circuit is used to operate the required equipment.

According to this, the seat posture control and handpiece g movement control of the treatment table are wirelessly and remotely controlled by the foot controller which is not connected by wire to the treatment table, so the position movement and grip control of the foot controller is performed. The operating position can be moved freely without any hindrance. Moreover, since the foot controller can perform at least both seat posture control and handpiece drive control, there is an advantage that these operations ff can be easily performed at one location.

In addition, there is no need to install a foot controller on each treatment table, and multiple treatment tables can be controlled with a single foot controller.
It can be used to determine whether or not a patient is being treated (whether or not the patient is being treated).
The range of applications becomes wider.

Furthermore, by using a two-way transmission/reception method for wireless communication between the foot controller and the treatment table as in the embodiment described later, mutual communication with a plurality of treatment tables becomes possible.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In Figure 1, (A) is a foot controller, (B)
is a treatment table with a seat (Ba) and a backboard (nb),
The foot controller (A) provides seat posture control commands, handpiece control commands, and other commands (for example, light points, etc.).
Command device C that controls commands such as turning off lights, water supply, etc., checking the status of other treatment tables, simple communication with reception, etc.)
In this embodiment, a switch (5W) is provided to send these commands to the treatment table (B) wirelessly, and the treatment table (B) gIJ receives these oscillation commands. A control unit that receives the command signal and controls each device according to the command signal
0) is provided. -Also, switches and variable resistors are incorporated as command tools.

That is, in Fig. g, the foot controller 5 (a) has seat up/down commands, backboard elevation commands, handpiece drive variable speed commands, and other commands generated by the aforementioned command tool (SW). A control signal generation circuit (1) to which a command is input and a photoelectric conversion circuit (2) are provided, the former circuit (1) generates a code signal according to an input command, and the latter circuit (2) converts it into an optical signal and transmits it. Note that this optical signal may be replaced with a signal that is subjected to electro-mechanical conversion, such as a microsonic wave. In the control unit (0), the optical signal (
or ultrasonic waves) that receives photoelectric conversion circuits (or electrical
It has a mechanical conversion circuit) (3), and its conversion output is input to a code detection and judgment circuit (logical judgment circuit) (4) to identify the command signal and control the motor or Hydraulic solenoid valve control circuit (58)
), electric control circuit (7), water control circuit (8), and other control means (9) to control the hydraulic pump or electric motor aQ1 air turbine (Ill, micro motor decoy, scaler 03, The other control means (9) is driven or stopped, and the raising and lowering of the seat, the raising and lowering of the backboard, the on/off of the seat belt, and the on/off of the other means (9) are controlled. A syringe selection circuit is provided on the 0) side, and as a syringe is selected and extracted on the treatment table (B) side, the selection signal is input to the code detection judgment circuit (5), and the selected syringe is selected. Air turbine++11, micro motor, depending on
The scaler 0J is then driven.

Figure 8 shows another example circuit of this Ryoro, which adopts a loop configuration (bidirectional transmission/reception system) between the foot controller (A) and the treatment table (B), and in particular, a syringe is selected. case selection signal, and other code generation means (
The output signal of 2) is inputted into the code detection judgment circuit 0ω, converted into a code word, and then converted into a code word. ) to the foot controller (A) Ift. In the foot controller (A), this transmission signal is received by the photoelectric conversion circuit (18+), and the code is identified by the code detection/judgment circuit f19], and this is sent to the control signal generation circuit (
1) to lock the code signal, and transmit it to the control unit (0) via the need conversion circuit.

In this way, the foot controller (A) is not connected to the treatment table (B) by wire and is suddenly disconnected, so the position of the foot controller (^) relative to the treatment table (II) cannot be changed. The foot controller (A) can be used to control various aspects of the treatment table (B) without any restrictions, and there is no danger of the surgeon getting his or her foot caught on the connection cord. The controller ((Tan) and treatment table CB) are not wired as a pair, so the foot controller (AJ) of the car can be used to connect the other treatment table (
B) can also be used to control multiple treatment tables (
IJ)... can also be controlled simultaneously.

Figure 4 shows a system in which the aforementioned notebook controller (A) is placed on the surgeon's chair e-sword so that it can move with the operator. Foot controller for simultaneous control of the treatment table (
A) can be moved easily.

As described above, according to the present invention, various controls of the treatment table can be performed wirelessly from the foot controller side.
It has now become possible to facilitate dental treatment.
