Description

Portable dental care equipment

The present invention relates to a portable dental examination apparatus, and more particularly to a portable dental examination apparatus capable of promptly responding to a temporary examination such as a visit examination and a disaster treatment in addition to a permanent examination received at a dental clinic or the like.

As shown in FIG. 24, the conventional dental medical unit is composed of a unit main body 100 and a medical chair 102. For example, a doctor's medical table main body 104 is fixed to the distal end of a main arm 103 that can move and rotate in the horizontal direction. Equipment such as the turbine handpiece 105 and the syringe 106 is provided.

Further, the unit main body 100 is provided with a water supply device 101 for gargle of a patient and a gargle basin (spitton) 107, and a syringe 108, a vacuum 109, a saliva discharge device 110, etc. are provided as equipment for assisting the treatment by the assistant. An assistant table 112 having a hanger portion 111 is provided, and this is also fixed to the tip of an auxiliary arm 113 that can move and rotate in the horizontal direction.

Although not shown, the unit main body 100 is provided with an operating light through a pole.

In the technical field of such dental treatment units, with the arrival of an aging society in recent years, the opportunities for dentists to go home have increased. Therefore, a portable dental treatment unit (for example, Patent Document 1, Patent) Reference 2) is used.

The portable dental treatment unit is also called a dental portable unit. There is no dental patient chair like a general dental unit, and there is a unit unit unit or a unit unit and a vacuum unit separated. There is usually no built-in surgical light.

However, at the time of visiting dental care, a portable dental care unit for home visits had to be installed separately from the dental unit permanently installed in the clinic.

On the other hand, in the event of a disaster, even if a dental unit is installed in the clinic, if a power outage or water outage occurs, it will not be possible to supply the electricity and water necessary to drive the dental unit. Therefore, the dental unit could not be operated until the power failure or water outage was recovered. In addition, it was not easy to arrange medical equipment even if we wanted to perform dental treatment at evacuation shelters.

In view of such a situation, a table main body detachable dental medical unit (for example, see Patent Document 3) in which only the doctor's medical table main body is detachable from the dental medical unit has been proposed. The medical unit could not provide all the functions of a dental medical unit, but also could not provide enough of the minimum necessary functions for cutting teeth. In particular, the main medical table is mainly equipped with medical equipment used by doctors, so there is no equipment supported by hygienists or assistants, and the attached equipment is required to provide all functions of the dental care unit. I had to prepare separately.

Also, the attached equipment other than the table section could not be removed and used while attached to the equipment of the dental care unit.

Next, a method for moving and reconfiguring a medical module during a disaster medical treatment, which is another mode of temporary medical treatment at a moving location, will be described with reference to FIG.

At the time of medical treatment at the time of disaster, in addition to the DI module 17 divided from the basic unit 1 at the medical treatment place at the time of disaster, a water tank 21, an oxygen cylinder 32, a battery 64, and further, a water hose 21c, an air hose 23c, The power cable 65 is also transported to the moving place.

Then, water is supplied to the DI module 17 using the water tank 21 and the water hose 21c, air is supplied to the DI module 17 using the oxygen cylinder 32 and the air hose 23c, and the battery 64 and the power cable 65 are used. By supplying power to the DI module 17, the DI module 17 is operated to perform a disaster diagnosis.

The drinking water bottle 21A can be used as a water supply source instead of the water tank 21.

FIG. 16 shows a rotational speed when air (air) that is a driving energy medium is not supplied to a micromotor (micromotor handpiece) and a turbine (turbine handpiece) syringe at the time of temporary medical treatment and at the time of permanent medical treatment, This shows the torque, the mode of use, and the rotation speed, torque, and use of the case when air (air) is supplied. In addition, the amount of water injected when water, which is the drive energy medium, is input to the micromotor (micromotor handpiece), turbine (turbine handpiece), syringe, and scaler during the temporary examination and the permanent examination. A comparison is shown.

As is clear from FIG. 16, in the permanent medical examination, a micromotor (micromotor) among dental instruments including a micromotor (micromotor handpiece), a turbine (turbine handpiece), a syringe, and a scaler. Since the air from the air supply source can be sufficiently secured for the handpiece), both the rotational speed and the torque can exert their rated functions.

Therefore, if there is no air supply or if the air supply amount is reduced and the same rotation speed and rotation torque as the permanent air supply is obtained, the amount of heat generated in the circuit and the rotating part must be sufficiently cooled. Will cause problems such as failure or a significantly shortened service life.

Therefore, by limiting the amount of power supplied to the micromotor so that the rotational speed and torque are lower than in the case of the above-mentioned permanent medical treatment, the micromotor (micromotor handpiece) can be used for temporary medical treatment within the range below that. Can be provided.

Furthermore, at the time of temporary medical treatment, the power is switched by the power supply amount switching unit 95c so as to pass through the power supply limiting circuit 98 that limits the power to the micromotor.

Furthermore, since all of the micromotor (micromotor handpiece), turbine (turbine handpiece), syringe, and scaler depend on the amount of water injected from the water supply source such as the drinking water bottle 21A, which is a water supply source, it is short. There is a restriction by switching by the water supply amount switching unit 95b so as to pass through the water flow restriction pipe 97 so as to limit the amount of water injection so that water is not consumed over time, but within the range of water injection amount restriction. These can be used for temporary medical care.

As the supply amount switching means 95, valve branch switching or changeover switch switching operation may be performed manually. If the valve is an electric valve, it can be switched by electric operation.

Further, if the air supply source, the water supply source, and the power supply source are provided with a recognition function so that it can be determined whether the energy source of the permanent energy source or the temporary energy source is connected, the supply amount switching means 95 is provided. It is also possible to switch automatically.
The air supply source, the water supply source, and the power supply source shown in FIG. 17 correspond to the respective supply sources connected to the air one-touch joint 23a, the water one-touch joint 24a, and the power connector 61a in the DI module 17 of FIG.
