Therefore, the purified water supplied to the dental unit chair must be maintained in a very clean state since it is in direct contact with the oral cavity of the patient. The conventional water supplying method has a structure that is supplied from an external water purifier connected to a water supply pipe of a dental unit chair The disadvantage of the dental water line is that the water is always present in the dental water line and the condition of the microbes grows very well. The foreign matter and the bacteria deposited inside the dental medical piping include various pathogens, Even if the water is supplied to the dental medical device, the bacteria in the dental water line are included in the water and directly infiltrate into the wound area of the patient's teeth and gums to cause a secondary infection .

In order to solve this problem, as shown in FIG. 1, external water is supplied into the case 100 through the water supply pipe 200, and the pressurizing pump 400 is operated to circulate external water into the case 100 The foreign substances contained in the water circulated by the pressurizing pump 400 in the filter housing 500 are firstly filtered and the foreign substances contained in the filtered water in the filter housing 500 are discharged from the micro- Fine particles included in the water filtered by the fine filtration filter 600 are filtered by the membrane filter 700 and filtered by the filter housing 500, the fine filtration filter 600, the membrane filter 700, The pump timer 910 is operated and the suction pump 100 sucks the disinfectant liquid quantitatively in the disinfectant tank 1000 under the control of the pump timer 910 and supplies the disinfectant to the mixer (1100), and the filtered water and Patent Literature 10-2008 in which a disinfectant supplied from a venom tank 1000 is mixed in a mixer 1100 and a mixed solution obtained by mixing filtered water and a disinfectant is supplied to a dental medical device and medical piping through a supply pipe 1200 There are also known dental medical piping and dental medical devices such as -0078171.

However, the dental medical device described above is merely a structure for removing foreign substances from a dental unit chair and supplying disinfectant-containing water, that is, sanitized purified water with excellent sanitary condition. In the dental water line, It is not a structure that enables disinfection and sterilization inside the water supply pipe existing between the water purification apparatuses.

In addition, as disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2013-183976 (Mar. 19, 2013), a device for cleaning and sterilizing water by applying a water pressure to a water line by the pressure of a pump (motor) There is a fear that the pump is damaged due to the heating of the pump, and the pump can not provide a continuous and uniform pressure.

Fig. 4 is a use state reference diagram of the present invention. Fig.

First, in the drawings, it is noted that the same components or parts are denoted by the same reference numerals as possible. In the following description of the present invention, a detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted so as to avoid obscuring the subject matter of the present invention.

A dental waterline cleaning and sterilizing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention is as follows.

A high-pressure air inlet pipe 130 connected to the high-pressure air generator and having one side connected to the sealed container 110 and the other side connected to the high-pressure air generator; Pressure air generating device 120 for forming a high pressure inside the hermetic container 110 through the hermetic container 130 and one end of the hermetic container 110 is installed inside the hermetic container 110, And a disinfectant discharge pipe 140 for discharging the disinfectant solution 101 to the water supply pipe 10 of the dental water line.

The internal pressure of the sealed container 110 is set to a pressure of 0.1 to 5 kg / cm ² by the high-pressure air generating device 120, and the pressure is also applied to the water supply pipe 10 of the dental water line .

The reason why the disinfectant 101 is maintained at a pressure of 0.1 to 5 kg / cm ^{2 in} the water supply pipe 10 is that when the pressure is too weak, that is, when a pressure of 0.1 kg / cm ² or less is applied, When the pressure is too high, that is, when a pressure of 5 kg / cm ² or more is applied, the weak portion of the dental treatment unit 1, for example, the nipple, etc. is broken This is because of the high level of concern.

Thus, the most preferred range of pressure will be 0.1-5 kg / cm ^2, but if higher durability of the dental treatment unit 1 is greater than now, higher pressure will be possible in proportion thereto. However, increasing the durability and increasing the pressure is undesirable because the cleaning and disinfection effect is meaningless and uneconomical.

In the present invention, the closed container 110 refers to a means for supplying the disinfectant 101 to the water supply pipe 10, and also refers to a means for supplying pressure to the disinfectant 101 filled in the water supply pipe 10 Among them, pressure vessels are most commonly used. Of course, the closed container 110 may be sufficient to withstand a pressure of 0.1 to 5 kg / cm ² .

The high pressure air generating device 120 used in the present invention is preferably a general purpose compressor, but may also be a device capable of forming a pressure of 0.1 to 5 kg / cm ² inside the closed container 110 by various structures and methods. It is acceptable if it is.

1 to 3, the high-pressure air generator 120, that is, the compressor may be separated from the hermetically sealed container 110 and connected only by the high-pressure air injection pipe 130. However, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, A separate cover 130 is formed at the lower end of the cover 130 and the high pressure air generating device 120 is installed inside the cover 130 and is connected to the lower portion of the closed container 110, The aesthetics can be well structured. At this time, it is a matter of course that an air suction hole 131 through which air can flow is formed at one side of the cover 130.

That is, according to the present invention, external air is compressed by the high-pressure air generator 120 to fill the inside of the closed container 110, thereby increasing the pressure inside the closed container 110 higher than the atmospheric pressure, The disinfectant 101 can be discharged.

In the present invention, it is preferable that the disinfectant 101 is configured to have a color of color so that it can be easily distinguished from colorless water, and the discharge of the disinfectant 101 can be visually confirmed easily. At this time, it is preferable to form a stopper 111 on the upper end of the closed container 110 to fill the closed container 110 with the disinfectant solution 101.

That is, if the color of the disinfectant 101 is colorless (colorless) such as water, it is difficult to confirm whether all the disinfectant 101 has been discharged after the disinfection step, and eventually, to be.

At this time, it is most preferable to use red color having good visibility, which means attention in the color.

The present invention has a pressure sensor 112a inside a hermetic vessel 110 and detects the pressure of the compressed air shutoff valve 130a and the disinfectant discharge pipe 140 The disinfectant shut-off valve 140a formed in the disinfectant shutoff valve 140a can be operated. Of course, it is a matter of course that the valves may be manually operated by an operator.

It is preferable that the program is configured to be controlled by the control unit 102 comprising a microprocessor or the like programmed. The control unit 102 can also control the driving of the high-pressure air generating apparatus 120. [ The degree of pressure inside the closed container 110 is displayed on the pressure gauge 112 so that an operator can check the pressure and an abnormal pressure discharge valve (not shown) is provided at one side of the closed container 110, 110) is ideally raised, it is preferable that the pressure is automatically discharged.

Also, it is preferable to form a handle 113 on the upper part for convenience of transportation of the sealed container 110.

Further, the dental water line cleaning and sterilization method of the present invention

Filling the hermetically sealed container with a disinfectant solution;

Blowing high-pressure air generated by the high-pressure air generator into the sealed container;

Connecting the disinfectant discharge pipe of the closed container to the water line of the dental medical unit,

At this time, in order to prevent damage to the water supply pipe of the dental medical unit in the pressure maintenance step, the step of allowing the pressure of 0.1 to 5 kg / cm ² to act only for 1 minute to 12 hours.

The reason for keeping the disinfectant solution in the water supply pipe for 1 minute to 12 hours is that it is too short for 1 minute or less and it is difficult to obtain a sufficient disinfecting effect. In the case of 12 hours or more, since the disinfection is already completed, It is a waste of time because you can not expect.

Although the present invention has been described in connection with certain exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the present invention is not limited thereto and that various changes and modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
