Existing root canal treatment instruments achieve this by controlling the continuous or reciprocating motion of the root canal files to cut root canal debris. However, for complex root canals, such as small canals, calcified canals, or canals with obstructions, simple continuous or reciprocating motions are insufficient for the root canal files to easily locate the canal orifice or bypass obstructions, hindering canal shaping and resulting in low root canal treatment efficiency.

[0034] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0035] Example 1
[0036] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a motion control method for a root canal treatment device according to an embodiment of this application.
[0037] like Figure 1As shown, the motion control method provided in this embodiment is applied to an electronic device that controls the movement of the root canal file of a root canal treatment instrument. This electronic device can be understood as a computer or embedded device with data computing and information processing capabilities. The motion control method includes the following steps:
[0038] S1. Control the root canal file of the root canal treatment equipment to rotate at a predetermined speed.
[0039] Specifically, starting up includes the root canal treatment main unit, auxiliary unit, main control device and drive motor, so that the drive motor drives the root canal file to rotate at a predetermined speed, so that the root canal file can mill the root canal of the tooth, the predetermined speed being 100 to 2500 rpm.
[0040] S2. Control the root canal file to make a conical pendulum motion within a certain range.
[0041] That is, based on the root canal file rotating at a predetermined speed, its axial direction is controlled to perform a conical oscillating motion. Furthermore, this conical oscillating motion is not continuous, but rather pauses at corresponding start and stop positions at a certain frequency. That is, multiple start and stop positions 101 are preset on the motion circumference 100. In this embodiment, one start and stop is selected every 90° of rotation, meaning four start and stop positions 101 are set on the motion circumference. For example... Figure 2 As shown. The specific control process of the conical pendulum is as follows:
[0042] First, the root canal file is controlled to move at a constant speed with a preset torque from the first start-stop position 101 to the next start-stop position 101. Then, when the root canal file moves to the next start-stop position, it stops and remains stationary for a preset duration before moving to the next start-stop position. This cycle is repeated until the root canal file is positioned at the root canal orifice or around an obstacle.
[0043] When the torque of this conical oscillation exceeds the preset torque mentioned above, it is determined that the root canal file has found the root canal orifice, and the conical oscillation motion is stopped at this point. The preset torque is preferably 0.4 to 5.0 N·cm, and the preset static time is preferably 1 second.
[0044] As can be seen from the above technical solution, this application provides a motion control method for a root canal treatment instrument. This method is applied to an electronic device, which controls the movement of the root canal file of the instrument. The motion control method involves controlling the root canal file to rotate at a predetermined speed; during the rotation of the root canal file, the device also controls it to perform a conical oscillating motion. Through this control process, the root canal file can easily be positioned at the root canal orifice or bypass obstacles, thereby improving treatment efficiency.

The motion control device includes a first control module 10 and a second control module 20.

[0055] That is, based on the root canal file rotating at a predetermined speed, its axial direction is controlled to perform a conical oscillating motion. Furthermore, this conical oscillating motion is not continuous, but rather pauses at corresponding start and stop positions at a certain frequency. That is, multiple start and stop positions 101 are preset on the motion circumference 100. In this embodiment, one start and stop is selected every 90° of rotation, meaning four start and stop positions are set on the motion circumference. Figure 2 As shown, the second control module specifically includes a first control unit 21 and a second control unit 22, as follows: Figure 4 As shown.
[0056] The first control unit controls the root canal file to move at a constant speed with a preset torque from the first start-stop position 101 to the next start-stop position 101; the second control unit stops the root canal file when it reaches the next start-stop position and holds it still for a preset time before moving to the next start-stop position. This cycle is repeated until the root canal file is positioned at the root canal orifice or around an obstacle.
[0057] When the torque of this conical oscillation exceeds the preset torque mentioned above, it is determined that the root canal file has found the root canal orifice, and the conical oscillation motion is stopped at this point. The preset torque is preferably 0.4 to 5.0 N·cm, and the preset static time is preferably 1 second.
