Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail the sterilization apparatus of the dental unit chair using the electrolysis according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First Embodiment

The first embodiment of the present invention is composed of a main body 100, an electrode 200 and a control circuit 300.

First, the main body 100 will be described.

1 is a cross-sectional view of the main body 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

1, the main body 100 of the present invention has an empty space formed therein, and the inlet 110 and the drain 120 are formed so that the water introduced through the inlet 110 passes through the interior to the drain 120. It is configured to be discharged.

The water inlet 110 and the drain 120 are coupled to the pipe of the chair and detachable.

In addition, the inlet 110 and the drain 120 are respectively provided with a valve 130 is configured to prevent the water inside the main body 100 to leak to the outside when separating the main body 100. .

Here, it is also considered that the valve 130 is automatically closed when the valve 130 is separated using a ball and a spring as shown in FIG. 2.

Next, the electrode 200 will be described. The electrode 200 is made of a conductor in which electricity flows, and the anodes are spaced apart from each other. When power is supplied while the electrode 200 is submerged in water, current flows between the two electrodes 200 to electrolyze water. Done. As described above, as the water is electrolyzed, the water is separated into hydrogen ions (H) and radicals (OH) to oxidize and decompose foreign substances in the water and sterilize bacteria.

In addition, when the water is electrolyzed as described above, the crust of the water becomes very small, so that it penetrates into the narrow gap inside the handpiece, thereby removing the foreign matter deposited in the handpiece, thereby preventing the blockage of the handpiece water pipe. This can increase the life of the handpiece.

Since the electrode 200 itself is also decomposed during the electrolysis, it is preferable to use an insoluble electrode (DSA) such as platinum oxide, which causes such damage.

In addition, in order to increase the contact area between the water and the electrode 200, the electrode 200 to form a mesh as shown in Figure 3 so that the water is electrolysis while moving through the eye of the mesh.

Next, the control circuit 300 will be described. The control circuit 300 converts and supplies a voltage suitable for electrolysis by controlling a voltage of an externally supplied power, and controls the optimum electrolysis by measuring water resistance or current flow.

The first embodiment of the present invention is to install an outer case on one side of the dental unit chair and to install two main bodies 100 therein and to control the two main bodies 100 through one control circuit 300 It consists.

One main body 100 is inlet 110 is connected to the water pipe from which water is supplied from the outside and the drain hole 120 is connected to the handpiece and the water supply to sterilize the water supplied to the patient and another body 100 ) Is connected to the lower side of the batter, the patient receives the gargled water and sterilizes it and discharges it into the sewer.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the inlet 110 is lowered and the drainer 120 is configured at the upper side in order to allow the electrolysis to be performed while the electrode 200 is completely immersed in water during electrolysis. When water is introduced from the upper side, only a part of the electrode 200 may be in contact with water, and the rest may not come into contact with the water. It is to be discharged so that the electrode 200 is always submerged in water.

In this case, when the electrolysis is performed in a state in which there is not enough water in the main body 100, the life of the electrode 200 is shortened. It is also worth considering that the electrolysis is performed after confirming that the amount of water has flowed into the body 100.

Further, the main body 100 and the control circuit 300 are installed at the rear side of the suction.

In the first embodiment of the present invention configured as described above, the water supplied to the main body 100 through the water pipe is electrolyzed to remove microorganisms therein, and then, the water is poured into a cup or supplied through the handpiece into the patient's mouth. do.

At this time, the electrolyzed water has sterilizing power for a certain period of time because hydrogen ions and radicals are present inside, so even if scattering particles are introduced through the tap of the water inlet, bacteria in the particles can be removed to suppress secondary infection. .

In addition, the electrolyzed water suppresses the production of the biofilm so that the water pipes inside may be always kept clean.

During and after the treatment, the patient's brushing and spitting water is drained from the batter to the lower side, and the drained water is introduced into the main body 100 to remove bacteria by electrolysis, and the blood is oxidized and decomposed into carbon dioxide to contaminate. Will be suppressed.

When the lifetime of the electrode 200 expires due to long-term use, the main body 100 is replaced. To this end, the valve 130 of the main body 100 is locked to prevent the contaminated water inside the main body 100 from leaking to the outside. At this time, it is also possible to attach the valve 130 to the pipe of the chair to prevent water from flowing out.

Water suctioned from the suction is also discharged into the sewer after sterilization and contaminant removal through the same process as above to prevent contamination.

Second Embodiment

The second embodiment of the present invention separates the inside of the main body 100 into the reservoir 150 and the sterilization tank 160 and installs and sterilizes the water level control valve 140 between the reservoir 150 and the sterilization tank 160. The drainage control valve 180 is provided at the rear side of the tank 160.

And inside the sterilization tank 160 is equipped with a water level sensor 170 for measuring the water level in the electrode 200 and the sterilization tank 160.

Here, the electrode 200 is configured to be easily separated and replaced in the sterilization tank 160.

The reason for separating the reservoir 150 and the sterilization tank 160 in the second embodiment of the present invention as described above is that in the case of a water pipe to which water is supplied, water is continuously supplied and the electrode 200 is exposed to the outside of the water. This is because the probability of occurrence of the case is low, but in the case of the lower side or the suction, the water is discontinuously supplied, so that the electrode 200 is exposed to the outside.

When the water level control valve 140 is open, the water in the reservoir 150 is moved to the sterilization tank 160 to increase the level of the sterilization tank 160 and the water level is increased to detect the water level sensor 170. When the water level control valve 140 is locked to block the water flowing into the sterilization tank 160 from the water storage tank 150, the electrolysis is performed by supplying a current to the electrode 200.

After the electrolysis is completed and the sterilization is completed, the water of the sterilization tank 160 is discharged to the outside by operating the drainage control valve 180 installed at the rear side of the sterilization tank 160. After the drainage is completed again to close the drain control valve 180 and open the water level control valve 140 so that the water in the reservoir 150 is supplied to the sterilization tank (160).

As the above process is repeated, electrolysis is performed only when sufficient water is supplied to the sterilization tank 160, thereby increasing the life of the electrode 200 and sufficient sterilization.
