Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention provides, in dental treatment equipment equipped with a treatment chair and treatment instruments, in addition to the original control means for each piece of equipment, control means for the treatment chair and treatment instruments. This invention relates to a control system for dental treatment equipment that is capable of controlling the other when operating or controlling one of the above.

<Prior Art> Conventionally, methods have been proposed for controlling dental treatment equipment that includes a treatment chair and treatment instruments by associating the two pieces of equipment with each other. For example, in the case of the dental treatment equipment disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 56-46746, the treatment chair and treatment instruments are switched and controlled by a common control means (controller); In the case of the instrument control method, driving of the treatment chair side is prohibited while the treatment instrument is being driven.

<Problem to be solved by the invention> In other words, although the above dental treatment equipment has the same control means, they are switched by a switching controller, so when either the treatment chair or treatment instrument is driven, the other is not used. become unable. Further, in the above-mentioned dental instrument control method, priority is given exclusively to the treatment instrument side.

However, in the case of these conventional methods, there are aspects in which it is not possible to adequately respond to the wide variety of usage modes and emergency situations in dental treatment equipment.

The present invention has been made in view of such conventional circumstances, and in addition to the original control means for the treatment chair and the treatment equipment, it also provides a means for controlling either of the two pieces of equipment in connection with the operation or control of either of the two pieces of equipment. , the other can also be controlled.

Means for Solving the Problems> One of the present inventions for achieving the above object includes a treatment chair and a treatment instrument, and the treatment chair has a chair operation switch connected to a control device for the treatment chair. In a system in which the chair operation switches are controlled by operation signals from the treatment chair control device, and the treatment instruments are controlled by control signals from the device control means connected to the treatment chair control device, the chair operation switches are controlled by the treatment chair control device. is connected to the treatment instrument control device via the chair control device, and when the chair operation switches are operated, the treatment chair control device issues a stop signal to the treatment instrument control device to stop driving the treatment instrument. in the control system of dental treatment equipment. Another aspect of the present invention includes a treatment chair and a treatment instrument, the treatment chair being controlled by operation signals from chair operation switches connected to the treatment chair control device, and the treatment instrument comprising: In a system controlled by a control signal from an instrument control means connected to the treatment instrument control device, the instrument control means is connected to the treatment chair control device, and when operating the treatment instrument, the instrument control means The control system for dental treatment equipment is configured to issue a stop signal to a treatment chair control device to stop the driving of the treatment chair.

<Function> From the above configuration, in the case of the former invention, not only can the original control of both equipments be performed, but also the driving of the treatment instruments is immediately stopped when the chair operation switches are operated. On the other hand, in the case of the latter invention, in addition to being able to control both equipment as in the above invention, when a treatment instrument is operated, the driving of the treatment chair is immediately stopped by the accompanying action of the instrument control means.

<Example> FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 show each system of the respective invention.

In each figure, 1 is a treatment chair that can take various set states such as raising, lowering, undulation, and standing up, 2 is a treatment instrument consisting of a handpiece, a scaler, a laser scalpel, etc., 3 is a control device for the treatment chair, and 4 is a control device for this treatment chair. Chair operation switches such as a foot switch connected to the treatment chair control device 3, 5 a driving force supply source for the chair that supplies driving force to the treatment chair 1 through the treatment chair control device 3, and 6 a treatment instrument. control device,
Reference numeral 7 denotes an instrument control means including a hanger switch, a foot controller, etc. connected to the therapeutic instrument control device 6; 8 an instrument that supplies driving force to the therapeutic instrument 2 through the instrument control means 7 and the therapeutic instrument control device 6; It is a driving force supply source for

In the invention shown in FIG. 1, the treatment chair control device 3 and the treatment instrument control device 6 are connected by the control line L+, and when the chair operation switches 4 are operated, the treatment chair control device 3 is connected to the treatment chair control device 3. A stop signal is issued and the treatment instrument control device 6
is now entered.

Further, in the invention shown in FIG. 2, the instrument control means 7 and the treatment chair control device 3 are connected by a control line L2, and the instrument control means is activated by driving the hanger switch by lifting the treatment instrument 2 or by stepping on the foot controller. 7 is controlled, a stop signal is output from the instrument control means 7 and input to the treatment chair control device 3.

Therefore, in the case of each system of the present invention, by operating the chair operation switches 4 during dental treatment, the treatment chair 1 on which the patient is sitting can be set to a predetermined set state.
If the chair set is incorrectly completed, the treatment instrument 2 is lifted from the hanger switch and the foot controller is depressed to a predetermined position, the treatment instrument 2 is driven and the treatment posture is taken.

Here, as mentioned above, in the case of the invention shown in FIG. 1, if the chair operation switches 4 are operated while the treatment instrument 2 is in use (in N motion), a stop signal is issued from the treatment chair control device 3. and the driving of the treatment instrument 2 is immediately stopped.

Moreover, in the case of the invention shown in FIG. 2, during the setting operation of the treatment chair 1, the treatment instrument 2 is lifted from the hanger switch,
When the foot controller is operated by stepping on it, a stop signal is issued from the hanger switch and the instrument control means 7 of the foot controller, and the driving of the treatment chair 1 is immediately stopped.

In the above embodiment, there are two treatment instruments 2 and three instrument control means 7, but the present invention is not limited to these numbers.

<Effects of the Invention> As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, in a dental treatment facility equipped with a treatment chair and treatment instruments, it is possible to not only control both of the facilities, but also control both the facilities. When operating or controlling one, the other can also be controlled in conjunction with this, making it possible to quickly respond to a wide variety of usage situations and emergencies during dental treatment. Become.

For example, if you want to suddenly stop a treatment device for some reason while using it, you can place the treatment device on the hanger switch, but even if the operator is still holding the treatment device, the operator himself/herself can
Alternatively, if an assistant or the like operates the chair operation switches, it can be stopped immediately, and an emergency situation such as a patient getting caught in the chair while an inexperienced assistant or the like is operating the treatment chair can be avoided. When this occurs, if the operator instantly lifts the treatment instrument from the hanger switch, the operation of the treatment chair can be immediately stopped, thereby improving safety.
