Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A dental drilling machine having a. drill spindle a fast rotary movement about its own axis and a comparatively slow rotary movement about a. stationary axis which is parallel to the drill spindle. Moreover, a cooling liquid jet which is parallel to the drill spindle performs a slow periodic movementabout the same stationary axis such that the liquid jet is periodically directed to the part of the borehole which has been vacated as a result of the slow movement of the drill spindle.
  • SHEET 3 (If 3 DENTAL DRILLING MACHINE HAVING IMPROVED COOLING
  • the invention relates to a dental drilling machine comprising a drill which is connected to the end of a drill spindle which is rotatable about its axis by means of a first drive system, and a cooling system which has at least one outlet aperture from which a liquid jet which is to be directed onto the hole to be drilled can flow.
  • Comtemporary dental drilling machines usually comprise a turbine drive system by means of which a very high rotary speed can be imparted to the drill.
  • An advantage of these high speeds is that the patient to be treated suffers less pain, but it is a drawback that more heat is generated in the borehole which can damage the vital part of the tooth.
  • Directingone or more liquid jets onto the borehole does not solve this problem since the liquid jet generally does not penetrate between the drill and the wall of the borehole which is incontact with the drill and where the heating is greatest. As soonas the liquid jet comes into contact with thedrill the liquid is spun away so that it does not come into contact with the treated tooth surface.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a new type of high-speed dental drilling machine in which the said drawback is eliminated so that the borehole is effectively cooled.
  • the dental drilling machine is characterized in that a seconddrive system is provided by means of which the drill. spindle can be subjected to a second periodic movement during which it is displaced substantially parallel to itself, the said second periodic movement having a period which exceeds the revolution time of the drill spindle resulting from the first drive system, the cooling system being provided with means for periodic displacement of the liquid jet such that the liquid jet always remains directed to a portion of the borehole which has been vacated by the drill as a result of the second periodic movement of the drill spindle.
  • French Patent Specification No. 1,158,033 describes a dental drilling machine in which the drill is connected to the end of the drill spindle in a sleeve of an elastic material so thatlthe end of the drill rotates eccentrically, the axis of the drill thus covering a conical surface.
  • thedrill performs only one movement and there is no superimposition of a rotary movement of the. drill spindle about its own axis on a periodic movement of this axis, as is the case in the drilling machine according to the invention.
  • spindle preferably consists of the completion of a circular path about a fixedaxis which is'parallel to the drill spindle.
  • the drill spindle is located in an end of a drive rod; the other. end of which can be driven by means of an eccentric such that is obtains a rotary movement which is parallel to the rotary movement of the drill spindle, a shaft being provided which isinserted through a slot so as to guide the drive rod.
  • the outlet aperture of the cooling system is preferably directed such thatthe liquid jet is substantially parallel to the drill spindle, the outlet aperture being also displaceable such that the liquid jet can perform a circular movement about the stationary axis at a speed which is equal to that of the circular movement of the drill spindle, said movements having a phasedifference with respect to each other, the said circular movements being, for example, in phase-opposition.
  • the discharge aperture is. situated in a rotatable sleeve which is provided about the drill spindle and which can be moved in synchronism with the movement of the drive rod. It is alternatively possible to provide the drilling machine with acooling system having two outlet apertures, each of which is directed such that the liquid jet is substantially parallel to the drill spindle, said outlet apertures being movable such that each liquid jet can describe a to and fro movement along a half circle whose centre point is situated on the stationary axis.
  • FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a first embodiment of a dental drilling machine according to the invention, having a cooling system comprising only one rotating liquid jet, i
  • FIG. 2 is a sectional view of a second embodiment of adenta] drilling machine according to the invention in which the cooling system comprises two liquid jets, CBCIIOf which can describe half a circle circumference,
  • FIG. 3 is a plan view of the mechanism for controlling the, liquid jets of the dental drilling machine shown in FIG. 2,
  • FIG. 4 is a sectional view of a third embodiment of a dental drilling machine according to the invention in which the cooling system again comprises two liquid jets, each of which is capable of describing one half circle circumference, and
  • FIG. 5 is a plan view of the mechanism for controlling the liquid jets of the dental drilling machine shown in FIG. 4.
  • the drive systems for the drill spindle both for producing a rotary movement of the drill spindle about its axis and for producing a periodic movement of the drill spindle, are denoted by the same references for all three embodiments.
  • a drill spindle 3 is connected in the extension of the axis of a known turbine 4 which is capable of imparting a very high rotary speed to the drill spindle.
  • the turbine 4 is contained in an aperture of a drive rod 5 which is capable of performing a periodic movement in the housing 1; to this end, the drive rod 5 comprises a guide aperture 7 in which a shaft 6 is located.
  • the drive rod 5 is driven via an eccentric 8 which is rotatable about a shaft 9' which is located in the housing 1.
  • the dimensions of the various elements are such that the drill spindle 3 performs a substantially circular movement about a stationary axis AA.
  • the assembly is put into (a comparatively slow) motion by an electric motor (not shown) which drive the eccentric 8 via a flexible shaft 10 and two gearwheels 11 and 12.
  • one or more liquid jets 13 can be directed onto the borehole '(not shown), said liquid jets being periodically movable such that always one liquid jet is directed onto a portion of the borehole which has been vacated by the drill as a result of the slow movement of the drill spindle 3.
  • the cooling liquid can be applied to the dental drilling machine in known manner (not shown), for example via a flexible tube.
  • the figures illustrate three embodiments by means of which it is possible to impart a periodic movement to the liquid jet 13 about the axis AA, the speed of this movement being preferably equal to that of the drill spindle 3, the two movements having a phase difference with respect to each other such that the described object is achieved.
  • the drill spindle 3 and the liquid jet 13 can be made to describe the same path about this axis in succession.
  • FIG. 1 the liquid jet 13 which is parallel to the axis AA is discharged from an outlet aperture 14 of a rotating sleeve 15 which is connected, via a scaling, to a fixed crown 16.
  • the sealing is obtained by means of toroidal seals 17 and a spring 18.
  • the sleeve 15 is driven by the shaft 9 by means of a gearwheel l9 and a toothed belt 20 which transfers the movement to a stepped gearwheel 21, whose shaft 22 is connected to the drive rod 5 and which engages the teeth provided on the sleeve 15.
  • the liquid jet 13 describes a circular movement about the axis AA, said movement being phase-shifted with respect to the movement of the drill spindle 3 about this axis AA, these movements being preferably performed in phase-opposition.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 illustrate a cooling system utilizing two liquid jets 13a and 13b which are symmetrical with respect to the plane of the drawing of FIG. 2.
  • the liquid is supplied via flexible tubes which are schematically denoted at 230 and 23b.
  • each liquid jet 13 describes one half circle circumference which corresponds to onev half of the path of the drill spindle 3 about the axis AA.
  • the two liquid supply tubes 23a and 23b open into two outlet apertures 24a and 24b which are accommodated in a symmetrical pair of arms 25a and 25b.
  • the sides of the two anns 25a and 25b which face each other are provided with a profile (26a and 26b, respectively) which slides along a cylindrical pin 27, connected to the drive rod 5, when the arms are displaced in their longitudinal diretion, so that the arms are laterally deflected with the result that each of the outlet apertures 24a and 24b describes one half circle.
  • the arms are driven by an eccentric 28, the phase of the movement of which opposes that of the eccentric 8; the eccentricity of 28 is larger than that of the eccentric 8.
  • the drive rod 5 For a better understanding of the transfer of the movement from the eccentric 8 to the liquid jet 13, the drive rod 5 will be considered as a reference.
  • the pin 27 performs a linear to and fro movement in the symmetrical plane of FIG. 3. This movement is caused by the eccentric 28 which drives a drive rod 29 which is coupled to a slide 30 on which the pin 27 is provided.
  • the slide 30 is guided by the shaft 6 which projects into an aperture 31 which is recessed in the slide.
