[0002] A dental handpiece is a dental drill, which is divided into a high-speed dental handpiece and a low-speed dental handpiece. The high-speed dental handpiece is mainly used for drilling tooth cavities and extracting teeth, and the low-speed dental handpiece is mainly used for polishing. It is one of the commonly used dental equipment. Since the drill bit on the dental handpiece is mainly driven by a driving mechanism, the drill bit rotates at a high speed to achieve the purpose of drilling teeth and extracting teeth. However, precisely because the dental handpiece is a commonly used tool in dental care, it needs to be maintained after being used for a period of time. The most common and necessary maintenance is to inject oil into the dental handpiece to lubricate the movement in the dental handpiece. Currently, the connector of the dental handpiece is mainly connected to the oil injector through threads and nuts. When the dental handpiece needs to be connected to the oil injector, manual operation is required to screw it onto the oil injector one by one, which is time-consuming and laborious. Therefore, how to change the connection method between the dental handpiece oil injector and the dental handpiece without changing the design or structure of the existing dental handpiece oil injector. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application is to solve the problem that when the existing dental handpiece is connected to the oil injector, it is generally connected by a threaded connection method, which causes time-consuming and laborious manual connection of the dental handpiece to the oil injector.

Specific embodiments

[0034] To clearly illustrate the technical features of this solution, the present invention will be described in detail below through specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0035] In addition, in the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", "counterclockwise", "clockwise", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0036] As Figures 1-9 shown, the present application is a dental handpiece quick connector and a dental handpiece oil injector. It includes a dental handpiece quick connector and a dental handpiece oil injector.

[0037] Among them, the dental handpiece quick connector is connected to the dental handpiece oil injector, and it includes: a connecting component 2 and a locking member 1.

[0038] The above-mentioned connection component 2 and the locking component 1 are connectors that form a connection between a dental handpiece and a dental handpiece oil injector. The specific structure is as follows: The connection component 2 has a jack 205. One end of the jack 205 is used to insert the oil pipe on the dental handpiece oil injector, and the other end is used to insert the oil pipe 215 on the dental handpiece. Along the axis direction of the jack 205 on the connection component 2, there is an elastic pressing piece 214. The elastic pressing piece 214 protrudes and extends towards one side of the connection component 2. Specifically, it protrudes and extends towards one end of the connection component 2 to form a cavity with an installation space inside. The installation space is for the body of the dental handpiece to pass through. After the oil pipe on the dental handpiece is inserted into the jack 205, the body of the dental handpiece extends into the space surrounded by the four elastic pressing pieces 214. By the inward elastic deformation of the four elastic pressing pieces 214, the body of the dental handpiece is squeezed, thereby realizing the quick connection of the dental handpiece.

[0039] The component that causes the above-mentioned four elastic pressing pieces 214 to produce elastic deformation is the locking component 1. The locking component 1 has an installation inner hole 102. On the inner wall of the installation inner hole 102, there are inwardly protruding pressing protrusions 101. To match the number of the above-mentioned elastic pressing pieces 214, four pressing protrusions 101 are also provided, and the pressing protrusions 101 are also arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the installation inner hole 102. When the elastic pressing pieces 214 on the connection component 2 are inserted into the installation inner hole 102, the pressing protrusions 101 can continuously squeeze the elastic pressing pieces 214. Whether the insertion depth of the elastic pressing pieces 214 in the installation inner hole 102 continuously increases or the elastic pressing pieces 214 produce elastic deformation through other methods, such as inserting first and then rotating, the elastic pressing pieces 214 can clamp the dental handpiece, quickly connecting the dental handpiece to the connection component 2.

[0040] Through the above solution, the whole process of connecting the dental handpiece is simple and fast. The method of pressing by the elastic pressing piece 214 replaces the traditional threaded connection method, reducing the complexity of the operation. If the oil injector lubricates multiple dental handpieces at the same time, the connection time of each dental handpiece can be saved. Then, the connection of multiple dental handpieces will save a lot of time, shorten the connection time of the dental handpiece on the oil injector, and improve the connection efficiency.

[0041] Furthermore, the structure of the above-mentioned connecting component 2 specifically includes two parts, namely a first connecting piece 202 and a second connecting piece 201. Among them, the second connecting piece 201 is fixed on the dental handpiece oil injector, and the jack 205 is arranged on the first connecting piece 202; and at least two elastic claws 212 are arranged on the first connecting piece 202 along the axial direction of the assembly inner hole 203 thereon. The second connecting piece 201 has a connecting inner hole 207, and the direction of the connecting inner hole 207 is the same as that of the jack 205. The first connecting piece 202 can be inserted into the connecting inner hole 207, and the second connecting piece 201 has a clamping portion 208. When the first connecting piece 202 is inserted into the connecting inner hole 207, the elastic claws 212 are clamped with the clamping portion 208, thereby detachably connecting the first connecting piece 202 and the second connecting piece 201.

[0042] By setting the above-mentioned connecting component 2 in a way that the first connecting piece 202 and the second connecting piece 201 are clamped, the purpose of detachably connecting the first connecting piece 202 and the second connecting piece 201 is achieved. However, more importantly, it can further facilitate the quick installation of the dental handpiece onto the dental handpiece oil injector. Because before clamping the first connecting piece 202 and the second connecting piece 201, the dental handpiece is externally inserted into the jack 205 on the first connecting piece 202 and pressed tightly by the locking piece 1, and then the assembled whole is connected to the second connecting piece 201. When the first connecting piece 202 is inserted into the second connecting piece 201, the elastic claws 212 are clamped with the clamping portion 208, and the oil pipe 215 on the oil injector passing through the through hole on the second connecting piece 201 is aligned and inserted into the jack 205. At this time, the second connecting piece 201 can be pre-installed on the oil injector by bolts; in addition, after the dental handpiece is filled with oil, the elastic claws 212 can also be manually operated to make the elastic claws 212 disengage from the clamping portion 208, so as to pull out the first connecting piece 202 from the second connecting piece 201 and detach the second connecting piece 201 and the locking piece 1 connected to the second connecting piece 201 as a whole from the first connecting piece 202; then rotate the locking piece 1 to reduce the acting force of the locking piece 1 on the elastic pressing piece 214, and then pull out the dental handpiece from the jack 205; or directly pull out the locking piece 1 from the elastic pressing piece 214, and finally pull out the dental handpiece from the jack 205. It should be noted that when the first connecting piece 202 is inserted into the second connecting piece 201, the oil pipe 215 on the oil injector passing through the through hole on the second connecting piece 201 is also aligned and inserted into the jack 205. At this time, the second connecting piece 201 can be pre-installed on the oil injector by bolts.

[0043] For the specific structures and installation positions of the above elastic claws 212 and the clamping parts 208, the following methods are adopted, that is, an annular clamping protrusion or an annular clamping groove is arranged in the connecting inner hole 207 of the second connecting part 201. Here, the annular clamping protrusion can be an annular clamping protrusion protruding from the inner wall of the connecting inner hole 207, or an annular clamping groove recessed in the inner wall of the connecting inner hole 207. The elastic claws 212 extend from one end (insertion end) of the first connecting part 202 inserted into the connecting inner hole 207 to the other end. A protruding clamping block 217 is arranged on the outer side surface of each elastic claw 212. When the first connecting part 202 is inserted into the connecting inner hole 207, the elastic claws 212 are also inserted into the connecting inner hole 207 until the protruding clamping blocks 217 on the elastic claws 212 are clamped in the annular clamping protrusion or the annular clamping groove in the connecting inner hole 207. When the clamping blocks 217 on the elastic claws 212 are clamped in the annular clamping protrusion or the annular clamping groove, the end surface of the insertion end of the first connecting part 202 just abuts against the end cover 209 of the second connecting part 201 or abuts against the housing 3 of the oil injector. When it is necessary to pull out the first connecting part 202 from the second connecting part 201, a person can press the two elastic claws 212 inward, and then pull out the first connecting part 202.

[0044] It should be noted that when the second connecting part 201 has an end cover 209, a through hole for the oil pipe 215 of the oil injector to pass through is arranged on the end cover 209, and holes for bolt connection with the oil injector can also be arranged on the end cover 209.

[0045] In an alternative embodiment, the specific structures and installation positions of the above elastic claws 212 and the clamping parts 208 can also adopt the following method, that is, the above annular clamping protrusion or annular clamping groove is arranged on the outer side surface of the second connecting part 201. The elastic claws 212 can extend from the insertion end far away from the first connecting part 202 to the insertion end close to the first connecting part 202, and a space for inserting the second connecting part 201 is formed between the two elastic claws 212. When the first connecting part 202 is inserted into the connecting inner hole 207 of the second connecting part 201, at the same time, the second connecting part 201 extends into the space surrounded by the two elastic claws 212, and the clamping blocks 217 on the elastic claws 212 are then clamped in the annular clamping protrusion or the annular clamping groove on the outer side surface of the second connecting part 201, realizing the connection between the first connecting part 202 and the second connecting part 201. The annular clamping protrusion and the annular clamping groove in this embodiment may not be annular, as long as the clamping protrusions on the elastic claws 212 are clamped into the annular clamping protrusion or the annular clamping groove. When it is necessary to pull out the first connecting part 202 from the second connecting part 201, a person can bend the two elastic claws 212 outward, and then pull out the first connecting part 202.

[0046] No matter which of the above methods is adopted, the first connecting member 202 and the second connecting member 201 can be quickly connected or disassembled, shortening the time for connecting the dental handpiece to the oil injector and achieving quick connection.

[0047] Further, in one embodiment, the above elastic pressing pieces 214 are arranged in a circular pattern along the circumference of the insertion hole 205, including split and integral elastic pressing pieces. The elastic pressing pieces are spaced along their circumferences and arranged in a circular pattern. As Figure 4 shown, arranging the elastic pressing pieces in a circular pattern not only matches the shape of the body of the dental handpiece, but also the arc-shaped setting can increase the contact area with the body of the dental handpiece and increase the pressing force. The inner diameter of the circle formed by the four elastic pressing pieces 214 is slightly larger than the diameter of the body of the dental handpiece for the body of the dental handpiece to pass through. The thickness of the elastic pressing piece 214 decreases cyclically in turn in the circumferential direction. Here, the sequential decrease is the gradual change process of the thickness of the elastic pressing piece 214 when viewed from the upward view of the connecting component 2 and in the counterclockwise direction perspective. As Figure 4 shown; of course, it can also be said in another way, that is, when viewed from the upward view of the connecting component 2 and in the clockwise direction perspective, the thickness of the elastic pressing piece 214 gradually increases, as Figure 4 shown. After the elastic pressing piece 214 is inserted into the installation inner hole 102, rotate the locking member 1 clockwise, so that the pressing protrusion 101 continuously squeezes towards the thicker side of the elastic pressing piece 214 in the circumferential direction. Then, under the action of the pressing protrusion 101, the strength of the extension end of the elastic pressing piece 214 protruding from the connecting component 2 is small. Therefore, the elastic pressing piece 214 generates elastic deformation towards the inside at this end. The elastic pressing pieces 214 all generate elastic deformation towards the inside, making the installation space surrounded by the elastic pressing pieces 214 smaller, thereby pressing the body of the dental handpiece and achieving quick connection.

[0048] Conversely, when it is necessary to remove the dental handpiece, first rotate the locking member 1 counterclockwise. The pressing protrusion 101 on the inner wall of the installation inner hole 102 continuously rotates towards the thinner side of the elastic pressing piece 214 in the circumferential direction. At the same time, the acting force of the pressing protrusion 101 on the elastic pressing piece 214 continuously decreases, and the elastic pressing piece 214 returns to its initial state (that is, the extension end protruding from the end face of the connecting component 2 does not deform or generates very small deformation so that it is not enough to press the body of the dental handpiece). Then, the dental handpiece can be easily pulled out of the installation inner hole 102 by hand, and the oil pipe on the dental handpiece can be pulled out of the insertion hole 205.

[0049] In one embodiment, as Figures 1-5 shown, especially in Figure 2As can be seen, the above elastic pressing piece 214 is a split type, including at least two elastic pressing claws 214a. In this embodiment, four elastic pressing claws 214a are provided. The four elastic pressing claws 214a are arranged in a circular pattern along the circumference of the jack 205. The installation space is surrounded by the four elastic pressing claws 214a. Each elastic pressing claw 214a increases in sequence in the clockwise direction along the circumference of the jack 205, and decreases in sequence in the counterclockwise direction. Figure 4 It can be seen.

[0050] However, in an alternative embodiment, two elastic pressing claws 214a can also be provided. The two elastic pressing claws 214a are symmetrically arranged relative to the jack 205, that is, the two elastic pressing claws 214a generate elastic deformation under the action of the locking member 1 to clamp the body of the dental handpiece, thereby achieving connection.

[0051] In one embodiment, the structure of the above elastic pressing piece can also be designed as the following structure, as Figure 6 shown, the elastic pressing piece 214 is an integral ring structure. The thickness of the elastic pressing piece 214 decreases or increases cyclically along its circumference. The difference in its thickness can be achieved by machining the outer wall portion of the elastic pressing piece 214. When the locking member 1 is inserted, by rotating the locking member 1, the elastic pressing piece 214 can still be squeezed, causing the elastic pressing piece 214 to deform and press the dental handpiece tightly.

[0052] In one embodiment, as Figure 7 shown, for the deformation and pressing method of the above elastic pressing piece 214, the following method can also be adopted. Specifically, the above elastic pressing piece 214 can be an integral or split type. The pressing protrusion 101 on the inner wall of the installation inner hole 102 is an integral ring, and the inner diameter of the pressing protrusion 101 gradually decreases along the axial direction, so that the installation inner hole 102 is in the shape of a tapered hole. The large-diameter end of the installation inner hole 102 is the insertion end of the elastic pressing piece 214. In this way, when the elastic pressing piece 214 is continuously inserted into the installation inner hole 102, the force of the inner hole on the locking member 1 on the elastic pressing piece 214 continuously increases until the extension end of the elastic pressing piece generates elastic deformation to tightly press the body of the dental handpiece, and the purpose of quick connection can also be achieved.

[0053] Furthermore, in order to prevent the locking member from coming off or sliding off the elastic pressing piece 214 after the elastic pressing piece 214 is inserted into the mounting inner hole 102 of the locking member, the connecting component 2 has a card slot 211, and the locking member 1 has a card protrusion 104. Specifically, in the present application, two card protrusions 104 are provided, and the two card protrusions 104 are specifically provided on the two connecting claws 103 on the locking member 1. The two connecting claws 103 protrude and extend along the axial direction of the mounting inner hole 102 toward the end surface of the locking member 1 close to the elastic pressing piece 214, so that the manual operation can be performed by prying the connecting claws 103 disassembles the locking member 1 and the connecting component 2, and the two latching protrusions 104 are located on the inner side of the connecting claw 103. When the elastic pressing piece 214 is inserted into the installation inner hole 102, it is latched in the latching groove 211, thereby further realizing the connection between the locking member 1 and the connecting component 2 and improving the connection ability. Because the locking member and the connecting component 2 are connected only by the clamping force between the two, it is inevitable that the locking member 1 will fall off or slide out of the elastic pressing piece 214. The provision of the latching protrusion 104 and the latching groove 211 can strengthen the connection between the locking member 1 and the connecting component 2.

[0054] Alternatively, the setting positions of the above-mentioned slot 211 and the locking protrusion 104 can also be interchangeable. The above-mentioned slot 211 is set on the inner side surface of the two connecting claws 103 of the locking member 1, and the above-mentioned locking protrusion 104 is set on the connecting component 2. Similarly, when the elastic pressing piece 214 is inserted into the installation inner hole 102, the locking protrusion 104 is inserted into the slot 211 to further connect the locking member 1 with the connecting component 2.

[0055] When the locking member 1 is rotated, the locking member 1 and the elastic pressing piece 214 are locked, and the arc length of the above-mentioned slot 211 must be greater than the arc length of the locking member 104. Regardless of whether the slot 211 is set on the locking member 1 or the connecting component 2, both ends of the slot 211 are closed ends, so as to prevent the locking member 104 from moving out of the slot 211 when moving in the slot 211. Because when the locking member rotates relative to the connecting component 2, the locking member 104 or the locking member 104 on the connecting component 2 must slide in the slot 211. At the same time, in order to ensure its connectivity, the slot 211 needs to give the locking member 104 a certain amount of moving space to meet the relative rotation requirements between the locking member 1 and the elastic pressing piece 214.

[0056] Furthermore, the structure of the first connecting member 202 specifically includes a connecting body and a sealing member 206 .

[0057] Among them, the connecting body has an assembly inner hole 203, and the direction of the assembly inner hole 203 is the same as that of the installation inner hole 102. The seal 206 is made of rubber. The seal 206 is installed in the assembly inner hole 203 by interference fit. In this embodiment, the above-mentioned jack 205 is provided on the seal 206, and the direction of the jack 205 is the same as that of the assembly inner hole 203. At this time, the diameter of the jack 205 is slightly smaller than or equal to the diameter of the oil pipe of the dental handpiece and the diameter of the oil pipe 215 on the oil injector. When inserting the oil pipe on the dental handpiece into the jack 205, due to the interference fit and the fact that the seal 206 itself is made of rubber, it can play a sealing role when inserted, so there is no need to separately set a flexible sealing ring. By setting the connecting component 2 into two parts, namely the connecting body and the seal 206, and setting the seal 206 and the connecting body in a detachable manner, it is convenient for the later maintenance and cleaning of the entire connector, and at the same time convenient for the replacement of each component.

[0058] In some embodiments, in addition to the interference fit between the above-mentioned seal 206 and the assembly inner hole 203 of the connecting body, however, in some embodiments, the above-mentioned seal 206 can also be made of the same material as the connecting body, that is, both can be made of stainless steel, and the seal 206 and the connecting body are of an integral structure, and the jack 205 can be directly provided on the connecting component 2.

[0059] Based on the embodiment where the above-mentioned jack 205 is provided on the seal 206, annular protrusions 213 protruding inward are respectively provided at both ends close to the jack 205. The annular protrusions 213 form a sealing ring. Since the material of the seal 206 itself is rubber, a protrusion is integrally formed on the inner wall of the jack 205 on it to form a sealing ring, which avoids the process of separately setting a sealing ring. In addition, the annular protrusion 213 can also facilitate the insertion of the oil pipe of the dental handpiece or the oil pipe on the oil injector into the jack 205.

[0060] The annular protrusion 213 on the inner wall of the above-mentioned jack 205 can also be provided at the end for inserting the oil pipe of the dental handpiece, because in actual use, the oil pipe of the dental handpiece needs to be frequently inserted into or pulled out of the jack 205, and the sealing here is particularly important to prevent oil leakage here.

[0061] Further, a guiding groove 204 is provided in the first connecting member 202 along the axial direction of the connecting inner hole 207. The number of guiding grooves 204 can be one, two, three, etc. The specific number of settings is determined according to the size of the first connecting member 202. And a guiding member 210 is provided on the second connecting member 201 along the radial direction of the connecting inner hole 207. The guiding member 210 can be a guiding rod, a guiding strip or other bolts, studs, etc. passing through the through hole on the second connecting member 201. When inserting the first connecting member 202 into the connecting inner hole 207, the guiding member 210 is pre-aligned with the guiding groove 204. During the continuous insertion process, the guiding member 210 enters the guiding groove 204. At this time, the jack 205 is aligned with the oil pipe 215 on the dental oil injector while inserting, avoiding the cumbersome process of aligning by repeatedly rotating the first connecting member 202 and shortening the alignment time. In addition, if the operator does not want to remove the first connecting member 202 from the second connecting member 201 and wants to pull out the dental handpiece from the jack 205, the locking member 1 can also be rotated counterclockwise so that the locking member 1 no longer presses the body of the dental handpiece to pull out the dental handpiece. At this time, the guiding groove 204 and the guiding member 210 can also play a role in preventing the relative rotation between the first connecting member 202 and the second connecting member 201, avoiding the problem that the first connecting member 202 rotates relative to the second connecting member 201 when the locking member 1 is rotated, resulting in the inability of the locking member 1 to rotate relative to the elastic pressing piece 214.

[0062] The present application also protects a dental handpiece oil injector, which includes the above-mentioned dental handpiece quick connector. In addition, it also includes the above-mentioned housing 3. The number of the above-mentioned dental handpiece quick connectors is several, such as one, two, three... In this embodiment, specifically two are provided. The specific number of settings is determined according to the size and volume of the dental handpiece oil injector. And each dental handpiece quick connector can be connected to the housing 3 of the dental handpiece oil injector through the connection hole on the second connecting member 201, the way of bolt connection or the threaded hole 218, the way of screw connection.

[0063] A detecting member 4 can also be provided on the dental handpiece oil injector of the present application. The detecting member 4 is used to detect whether the dental handpiece is inserted into the oil injector. The specific installation position can be as follows. There is a light hole on the end cover 209 of the second connecting member 201, and a guide rod 216 is movably placed in the light hole. The guide rod 216 can be a smooth rod or can be replaced by other bolts, screw rods, etc. The detecting member 4 can be a contact switch or a travel switch. And the above-mentioned detecting member 4 is provided on the housing 3 of the dental oil injector, and its installation position is vertically aligned with the light hole 216. When the first connecting member 202 is inserted into the connecting inner hole 207 of the second connecting member 201, the first connecting member 202 pushes the guide rod 216 to move upward, and the guide rod 216 triggers the travel switch or the contact switch, so that the detecting member 4 obtains the insertion signal of the dental handpiece.

[0064] The above specific implementation manners shall not be used as a limitation on the protection scope of the present invention. For those skilled in the art of this technology, any alternative improvement or transformation made to the implementation manners of the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0065] Where the present invention is not described in detail, it is common knowledge for those skilled in the art of this technology.
