1 is a perspective view of an ultraviolet irradiation device for an implant according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to the drawings, an ultraviolet irradiating apparatus 100 according to an embodiment includes a case 10, an outer door 11, and a light irradiation assembly 20 disposed inside the case. In the illustrated embodiment, the case 10 is in the form of a box with a substantially hexahedron, and the door 11 is formed on one side of the case 10. The user can open the door 11 and insert the implant to be irradiated into the light irradiation assembly 20, then close the door 11 and operate the ultraviolet lamp. At this time, when the door 11 is closed, the space inside the case 10 is preferably disconnected from the outside of the case 10 and sealed.

The light irradiation assembly 20 is an apparatus for applying ultraviolet light to an implant to be irradiated with ultraviolet light. In the illustrated embodiment, the light irradiation assembly 20 is mounted obliquely in the case 10 to allow the user to insert or extract the implant into the light irradiation assembly 20. However, the light irradiation assembly 20 may be disposed horizontally or vertically within the case 10 according to a specific embodiment. In the illustrated embodiment, the case 10 is shown in the form of a box of a hexahedron, but the present invention is not limited to the specific form of the case 10. That is, the case 10 may take any form as long as it can receive the light irradiation assembly 20 and be sealed with the outside air when the door 11 is closed.

Hereinafter, an exemplary configuration of the light irradiation assembly 20 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4. FIG. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an ultraviolet light irradiation assembly 20 according to an embodiment, FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the upper cover 230 viewed from below.

Referring to the drawings, a light irradiation assembly 20 according to an embodiment includes a lower panel 210, a plurality of ultraviolet lamps 220, and an upper cover 230. As shown in FIG. 3, the lower panel 210 according to one embodiment is in the form of a substantially rectangular plate, and supports the ultraviolet lamp 220. A plurality of sockets 211 are formed at both ends of the lower panel 210 to receive the ultraviolet lamp 220. The ultraviolet lamp 220 is inserted into both the sockets 211 and fixed on the lower panel 210 do.

The lower panel 210 may also include one or more guide portions 217 near both ends. The guide portion 217 is for joining the upper cover 230 and the lower panel 210. The protrusion 237 formed on both sides of the upper cover 230 is inserted into the guide portion 217 of the lower panel 210, So that the upper cover 230 and the lower panel 210 can be coupled with each other. However, such a coupling structure of the upper cover 230 and the lower panel 210 is merely an example of various coupling schemes, and any combination of known coupling schemes may be used.

3, at least a part or an entire surface of the upper surface of the lower panel 210 is coated with a substance having a high ultraviolet reflectance. Specifically, when the upper cover 230 is coupled to the lower panel 210 to form an inner space between the upper cover 230 and the lower panel 210, the lower panel 210 corresponding to the area defining the inner space 210 may be coated with a substance having such a high reflectivity. In one embodiment, the material having a high ultraviolet reflectivity is, for example, aluminum or magnesium oxide. In an alternative embodiment, the entire lower panel 210 may be made of such a material having a high ultraviolet reflectivity.

In the illustrated embodiment, four ultraviolet lamps 220 are coupled to and supported by the sockets 211 of the lower panel 210. Each of the ultraviolet lamps 220 is a flat lamp, and a plurality of ultraviolet lamps 220 are arranged side by side at a predetermined distance from each other.

The upper cover 230 is a member for covering the lower panel 210 and the ultraviolet lamp 220 from above and includes an upper panel 231 having a substantially rectangular shape in the illustrated embodiment, (236). The upper panel 231 is formed with a plurality of through holes 234 at regular intervals. 5 to 7, the through-hole 234 is provided to receive the implant packaging container 30 in which the implant is packed, and the implant packaging container 30 is inserted one by one for each of the through-holes 234, .

In the illustrated embodiment, only the ultraviolet ray emitting region of the ultraviolet lamp is configured to be positioned inside the top cover 230. [ For example, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, both ends of the ultraviolet lamp 220 (that is, a socket connection portion connected to the socket 211) are located outside the upper cover 230. A side opening 238 is formed in the side panel 236 of the upper cover 230 so that the ultraviolet lamp 220 can pass through the side panel perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the ultraviolet lamp 220.

According to this embodiment, since the side opening portion 238 of the upper cover 230 is engaged with the lower panel 210 while surrounding only the emitting region of the ultraviolet lamp 220, the upper cover 230 is interposed between the upper cover 230 and the lower panel 210 There is no socket connection part of the ultraviolet lamp and only the ultraviolet ray emitting area exists in the inner area of the inner space.

The upper cover 230 further includes a step 232 having a predetermined height surrounding the plurality of through holes 234 and an inner door 233 capable of covering the plurality of through holes 234. [ The reason for forming the step portion 232 is that the sealing cap 39 of the packaging container 30 is inserted into the upper cover 230 when the implant packaging container 30 is inserted into the through hole 234, So that the inner door 233 does not collide with the sealing cap 39. Therefore, the height of the stepped portion 232 is preferably larger than the height of the sealing cap 39 protruding from the surface of the upper cover 230. Also, in an alternative embodiment, the structure of the top cover 230 may be embodied in another alternative structure to prevent the inner door 233 from colliding with the sealing cap 39.

The upper cover 230 may further include an inner door 233 to prevent ultraviolet rays from being exposed to the outside through the through hole 234. [ In other words, when the implant packaging container 30 is mounted on only a part of the plurality of through-holes 234, the ultraviolet rays may come out through the remaining through-holes 234, 233 may be installed.

The upper cover 230 may further include at least one handle 235. The handle 235 is provided so that the user can easily maintain the light irradiation assembly 20. For example, when the user holds the handle 235 and lifts the upper cover 230, the upper cover 230 is moved to the lower panel 210, For example, the ultraviolet lamp 220 and other internal components can be replaced in this separated state.

4 shows a view of the upper cover 230 viewed from below. At least a part or an entire surface of the inner surface of the lower surface of the upper cover 230 is coated with a material having a high ultraviolet reflectance. Specifically, when the upper cover 230 is coupled to the lower panel 210 to form an inner space between the upper cover 230 and the lower panel 210, the upper cover 230 corresponding to the area defining the inner space The upper surface of the upper panel 230 and the lower surface of the upper panel 231 and the lower surface of the side panel 236 may be coated with a material having a higher ultraviolet reflectance, It is preferable that the whole is coated with such a material. In one embodiment, the material having a high ultraviolet reflectivity is, for example, aluminum or magnesium oxide. Also, in an alternative embodiment, not only the inner surface of the top cover 230 is coated with this material, but the top cover 230 itself may be made of such a material having a high ultraviolet reflectivity.

2, the light irradiation assembly 20 is formed, and FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the through-hole 234 of the light irradiation assembly 20. The bottom cover 210, the ultraviolet lamp 220, FIG. 2 is a side view of the implant packaging container 30 shown in FIG.

Referring to FIG. 5, when the implant packaging container 30 is inserted into the through hole 234, the implant is positioned in the space between the ultraviolet lamp 220 and the lamp 220. That is, since the straight type ultraviolet lamps 220 are arranged at a predetermined distance, the implant can be arranged in the space created by the distance.

In this regard, FIG. 6 schematically illustrates a portion of a cross-section of a light irradiation assembly according to an embodiment, and includes an inner region between the upper cover 230 and the lower panel 210 according to an embodiment, ). ≪ / RTI >

6, it is assumed that the implant packaging container 30 is constituted by a case 31 and a sealing cap 39. In this case, of the entire length of the case 31, the upper and lower panels 231, Quot; d "is denoted by the length of the case 31 located between the case 210 and the case 31. [ The radius of the lamp is denoted by r in the cross section of the ultraviolet lamp 220 and the imaginary line connecting the center points of the ultraviolet lamp 220 is denoted by L1, Are referred to as "L2 ". The interval between the center line L1 of the ultraviolet lamp 220 and the lower panel 210 is denoted by h1 and the interval between the center line L1 and the upper panel 231 is denoted by h2. In such an arrangement, it is preferable to dispose the light irradiation assembly and the implant packaging container so as to satisfy at least one of the following conditions in one embodiment of the present invention.

(i) In the relationship between the implant packaging container 30 and the ultraviolet lamp 220, the lower end portion 311 of the case 31 of the implant packaging container 30 is connected to the center line connecting the center points of the ultraviolet lamp 220 L1) and the imaginary line (L2) connecting the shortest end.

(ii) It is desirable that there is no unnecessary space between the upper panel 231 and the lower panel 210, so that it is preferable that the ultraviolet lamp 220 is formed in close contact with the lower panel 210. The ultraviolet lamp 220 is directly coupled to the lower panel 210, for example. 2 and 3, the socket 211 is directly attached to the lower panel 210, and the ultraviolet lamp 220 is fitted to the socket 211. As shown in FIGS. Therefore, the ultraviolet lamp 220 can be disposed close to and in close contact with the lower panel 210.

(iii) An alternative structure that eliminates unnecessary space between the upper panel 231 and the lower panel 210 is a height of the inner area between the upper panel 231 and the lower panel 210, that is, (h1 + h2 ) Is preferably slightly larger than the case length (d) of the implant packaging container (30). For example, the distance h1 + h2 between the upper panel 231 and the lower panel 210 may be between 1.1 and 1.3 times the case length d.

(iv) Another alternative structure that eliminates unnecessary space between the upper panel 231 and the lower panel 210 is that the ultraviolet lamp 220 is placed closer to the lower panel 210 side than the upper panel 231 May be desirable. For example, it may be preferable that the interval h1 between the center line L1 and the lower panel 210 is smaller than the interval h2 between the center line L1 and the upper panel 231. [

By configuring the light irradiation assembly and the implant packaging container 30 so as to satisfy at least one of the conditions (i) to (iv) above, the entire surface of the implant can be exposed to the ultraviolet light sufficiently and uniformly . Since the space surrounded by the upper cover 230 and the lower panel 210 is coated with a material such as aluminum or magnesium oxide that can reflect ultraviolet rays (or the upper cover 230 and the lower panel 210) Ultraviolet rays irradiated from the ultraviolet lamp 220 can be repeatedly irradiated to the implant 33 in the implant packaging container 30 repeatedly reflected in this space, Can be obtained.

The implant packaging container 30 usable in the light irradiation assembly 20 described with reference to Figs. 1 to 6 may have various shapes and internal structures. Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the implantable packaging container 30 will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8. FIG.

FIG. 7A is a perspective view of the implant packaging container 30 according to an embodiment, FIG. 7B is a view for explaining the inner structure of the case 31, and FIG. 8 is an exploded perspective view of the inner structure.

Referring to the drawings, an implant packaging container 30 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a case 31, an implant 33, a mount 34, a mount screw 35, a mount fixing portion 37, And a cap 39. The case 31 is formed in the form of a container capable of accommodating the implant 33, the mount 34, the mount screw 35, and the mount fixing portion 37, and is preferably formed of a material that passes ultraviolet rays . For example, the case 31 may be made of a material such as quartz glass so that ultraviolet rays can pass through it. In one embodiment, the case 31 is configured in the form of a circular column, but this is an exemplary shape and can be implemented in other shapes as well. For example, the case 31 may be formed in the form of a semicircular column or a polygonal columnar shape such as a triangle, a square, or a pentagon. The sealing cap 39 is engaged with one of the openings of the case 31, thereby forming a closed space in the case 31 and the sealing cap 39.

As shown in FIG. 8, in one embodiment, the mount 34 is coupled to the implant 33, and the mount 34 is coupled to the mount screw 35. Hereinafter, the thus combined implant 33, mount 34, and mount screw 35 will be referred to as an " implant-mount composite ".

 The implant-mount composite can be releasably coupled to the mount fixture 37. In the illustrated embodiment, the mount fixing portion 37 is provided at its one end with a groove into which the mount screw 35 can be inserted, so that the end of the mount screw 35 is fitted into the groove of the mount fixing portion 37 So that the implant-mount composite can be fixedly coupled to the mount fixing portion 37. The mount fixing portion 37 can be releasably coupled to one end of the sealing cap 39 in a state in which the implant-mount composite is fitted in the mount fixing portion 37. In this state, The cap 39 is engaged to place the implant-mount composite in a closed space defined by the case 31 and the sealing cap 39.

On the other hand, the reason for irradiating ultraviolet rays to the implants is to modify the surfaces of the implants to superhydrophilic properties in order to increase the bioactivity of the implants. Therefore, it is preferable to prevent the implant 33 from being exposed to the hydrophilic deteriorating material. For this purpose, in one embodiment of the present invention, the implant 33 is disposed in the closed space by the case 31 and the sealing cap 39 The surfaces of all or a part of the mount 34, the mount screw 35, and the mount fixing part 37 including the implant 33 are not formed of the hydrophilic deteriorating material. Herein, the term "hydrophilic deteriorating substance " means any substance that produces particles that degrade or deteriorate the hydrophilicity of the implants when exposed to ultraviolet rays, and examples thereof include polymer materials such as synthetic resin.

In addition, in one embodiment, for superhydrophilic modification of the implant surface, all components disposed within the enclosed space by the case 31 and the sealing cap 39, i. E., The implant 34, including the mount 34, The screw 35 and the surface of all or part of the mount fixing portion 37 may be coated with a hydrophilic retention or reinforcement material or these components themselves may be made of a hydrophilic retention or reinforcement material. The term "hydrophilic retention or strengthening material " refers to a material that maintains or strengthens the hydrophilicity of the implant without deteriorating the hydrophilicity of the implant. Examples of the material include a metal material such as a material having a high ultraviolet reflectance (aluminum, magnesium oxide, Such as a cork, used as a stopper for a beverage container.

The use of the above-described implant packaging container 30 allows the implant packaging container 30 itself to be inserted into the through hole 234 of the light irradiation assembly 20 without having to take out the implant from the packaging container 30 for ultraviolet irradiation. And then irradiated with ultraviolet rays. The implant 33 is packed in the packaging container 30 until immediately before the implant 33 is used by a person (for example, a dentist) who wants to use the implant 33 It is possible to prevent damage to the implant and prevent bacterial infection before the distribution process or procedure.

9 is a view showing an exemplary structure of an upper cover 280 according to an alternative embodiment. As can be seen from FIG. 2, the upper cover 280 of the embodiment according to FIG. 8 includes a plurality of through-holes 284 spaced apart at regular intervals on the upper surface, Shape. Accordingly, when the case 31 of the implant packaging container 30 has a hexagonal pillar shape, the upper cover 280 having a hexagonal through-hole 284 as shown in FIG. 9 may be used. Alternatively, when the case 31 is formed in a polygonal column shape such as a square or a pentagon, the through holes 234 and 284 of the upper covers 230 and 280 may be configured to have a polygonal shape such as a quadrangle, a pentagon, Of course.

10 is a diagram illustrating an exemplary structure of a top cover 530 according to yet another alternative embodiment. As can be seen from comparison with FIG. 2, the through hole 534 formed in the upper panel 531 has a long slot shape in the embodiment according to FIG. The width of the slot shape is equal to or slightly larger than the diameter of the case 31 of the implant packaging container 30 and smaller than the diameter of the sealing cap 39 so that the case 31 is inserted into the slot- And is caught by the sealing cap 39 so that the implant packaging container 30 is supported by the upper panel 531. [ As compared with the embodiment of FIG. 2, since the implant packaging containers 30 can be closely contacted with each other and a plurality of implant packaging containers 30 can be inserted into one through hole 534, (30) can be processed.

According to the embodiment of Fig. 10, the inner door 233 in Fig. 2 is omitted. 2, the inner door 233 is provided to prevent the ultraviolet rays irradiated to the space between the lower panel 210 and the upper cover 230 from escaping through the through hole 234, In the case where the container 30 is used for each of the through holes 234 or when the influence due to ultraviolet rays exiting through the through holes 234 is insignificant, the inner door may be omitted as shown in FIG. In this case, since the step portion 232 is also unnecessary, a stepped portion is omitted in Fig. In FIG. 10, other components such as the lower panel 510 and the ultraviolet lamp 520 are the same as or similar to those of the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 6, and a description thereof will be omitted.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited by the described embodiments, but should be determined by the scope of the appended claims, as well as the appended claims.
