Description
The present invention relates to a dental treatment water generating apparatus, and more particularly, to a dental treatment water generating apparatus capable of producing a dental treatment water having a proper concentration (1) by using a medical water producing tank and an air compressor in which water and air chambers are separated by a diaphragm -2 ppm) of residual chlorine is present in the dental unit and supplied to the dental unit.
In general, dentists are encouraged to use the number of dental visits ("dentists") appropriate to drinking water standards (see the Dental Clinical Infectious Disease Management Program of the Korean Dental Association).
However, as a result of the general bacteria test of the medical water, the cases exceeding the standard of drinking water frequently occur.
Since the number of medical treatments is often used in the same way as compressed air, it is likely to be contaminated. As a result, the water quality is rapidly deteriorated because the water is stagnated for more than 12 hours every day.
Further, since the dental water pipe is thinner than 2 mm, the surface area of the inner wall of the water pipe becomes relatively large, and the amount of effective chlorine consumption increases in inverse proportion to the diameter of the water pipe.
As a result, even if tap water having a residual chlorine concentration of 0.1 to 0.2 ppm is used as a medical water, the water quality is easily deteriorated.
The amount of chlorine required in the treatment water differs depending on the condition of the dental water tube, but if the water tube cleaning is carried out beforehand, the effective chlorine requirement of 1 to 2 ppm is sufficient when using the valley water or ground water as the drinking water.
The residual chlorine concentration suitable for the drinking water standard is 4ppm or less, and it is possible to reduce the troublesome water cleaning work while preventing the contamination of the microorganisms in the medical water by continuously supplying the water with the residual concentration of chlorine (for example, 2ppm).
At present, it is recommended to regularly clean the water tube once a week to manage the water quality of the treatment water, but the water tube washing is not performed well because of the troublesome work.
On the other hand, assuming that the number of treatments used by a dental unit per day is usually 3-5 liters and that the average of about 4 dental units are installed in most dentists, the number of treatments per day exceeds 20 liters The number of medications needed per month is around 500 liters.
In order to increase the concentration of residual chlorine, a comparatively easy and safe chlorine disinfectant, sodium hypochlorite solution, is diluted to produce a running water. If 1 liter of commonly used lactose (sodium hypochlorite 40,000ppm) is used, 20,000 liters of treatment can be generated with 2 ppm.
More safely, for example, one liter of a 1,000 ppm solution can be used for more than a month.
However, since most of the chlorine water treatment devices are designed based on a mass storage tank, there is no space for installation in the dental clinic, which is difficult to apply and installation cost is high.
Recently, a dental treatment water supply device using a disinfecting water generator such as a hypoxic hypochlorous acid water generator has been proposed, but it is also not widely available because it is expensive and the reason for using it as a treatment water conforming to drinking water standards is uncertain.
DISCLOSURE Technical Problem Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a sealed expansion tank, which is widely used in boiler facilities, (For example, 20 liters) by automatically diluting the diluted water with a dilution water (for example, tap water) in accordance with the chlorine requirement (1 to 2 ppm) of the medical water, And it is an object of the present invention to provide a treatment water generating device which can reduce installation and maintenance costs by simple installation and easy operation while occupying a small space according to a dental practice environment.
In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a dental treatment water generating apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a closed expansion tank (hereinafter referred to as " inflator ") having a small capacity (e.g., 20 liters) (Hereinafter, referred to as "the number of treatments") connected to an air line of the air chamber of the operation room, Diluted water and sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) solution (hereinafter referred to as " undiluted solution ") are introduced into the water chamber while diluting the compressed air in the air chamber to the outside.
At this time, the control unit controls the treatment water discharging solenoid valve, the diluting water supplying solenoid valve, the discharging solenoid valve, the supply air solenoid valve, and the raw liquid discharging pump provided in the treatment number generating device to generate and dispense the treatment water.
In the operation mode, the exhaust solenoid valve and the dilution water supply solenoid valve are open, and the supply solenoid valve and the water supply solenoid valve are blocked.
When the diluted water and the undiluted solution reach the water chamber at the maximum, the flow sensor does not output a signal for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds). At this time, the treatment number generation mode is switched to the treatment number discharge mode.
At this time, the dilution water and the maximum inflow amount of the undiluted solution are the amount of generated water.
In the case of a single number in the operation number generation mode, the flow sensor signal is not output for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) and the operation mode is switched to the operation mode regardless of the amount of generated water.
The source liquid discharge pump delivers a dose amount determined by the treatment water production amount, the residual chlorine concentration of the treatment water, and the stock solution concentration in a fixed quantity in the treatment number generation mode.
For example, if the amount of generated water is 20 liters and the concentration of residual chlorine in the treated water is 2 ppm, a 1000 ml of undiluted solution is dispensed in a dose of 40 ml in the treatment water generating mode and mixed with diluted water.
The supply solenoid valve and the operation water discharge solenoid valve are opened and the exhaust solenoid valve and the dilution water supply solenoid valve are blocked in the above-mentioned water supply mode.
When all of the medical treatment water is discharged in the medical water discharge mode, the water pressure of the medical water discharge line instantaneously decreases to 0 kPa.
When the water pressure decreases below a certain water pressure (for example, 50 kPa), the treatment water discharge mode is switched to the treatment water generation mode by the pressure signal outputted from the pressure sensor.
When the mode is switched to the treatment number generation mode, the treatment water discharging solenoid valve is shut off and the treatment water is not supplied, so it is necessary to supply the treatment water from a separate treatment water storage tank.
The treatment water storage tank supplies the necessary number of treatments while the treatment water is generated, and controls the flow of the treatment water in the treatment water storage tank so that the treatment water is stored again for a predetermined time (for example, 5 minutes) A sealed inflation tank is preferably provided.
For example, assuming that the number of treatments is 20 liters, the usual number of treatment modes is expected to be 10 minutes, 1-2 times a day, and most of the time is the dispenser mode.
Therefore, it is preferable that the medical water discharging solenoid valve and the air supply solenoid valve are normally open solenoid valves, and the dilution water supply solenoid valve, the exhaust solenoid valve, and the medical care feeding solenoid valve are preferably normal close solenoid valves Do.
The configuration of the solenoid valve as described above is such that even if the power supply of the treatment water generating apparatus is shut off, the treatment water can be discharged, and the treatment water supply mode is switched to the treatment water discharge mode, It is the same as when the valve is blocked.
The air regulator provided in the air line regulates the air chamber so as to supply compressed air of a predetermined pressure. When the pressure of the compressed air supplied from the air compressor is reduced (for example, the power of the air compressor is cut off, It is preferable that the air check valve is provided so that the pressure of the air chamber is maintained and the operation mode is not switched to the operation mode.
According to the solution of the above-mentioned problem, it is possible to continuously supply the treatment water while automatically generating the dental treatment water in which the appropriate concentration (1-2 ppm) of chlorine remains, by diluting the sodium hypochlorite solution, The installation is simple and the operation is easy, and the installation and maintenance costs can be drastically reduced.
