[0038] It should be understood that, when used in this application specification and the appended claims, the term "comprising" indicates the presence of the described features, integrals, steps, operations, elements and / or components, but does not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integrals, steps, operations, elements, components and / or a collection thereof.
[0039] Please see Figures 1-5 For example, the spittoon device 2 of the original dental comprehensive treatment machine does not have a corresponding height adjustment device, and the effect of using it varies for patients of different body lengths, and it may not achieve a relatively suitable spitting position. Based on the above problems, this application discloses a dental comprehensive treatment machine with adjustable spittoon position, including a seat 1, a spittoon device 2, a treatment device 3, and a recognition control system 4; the bottom of the seat 1 and the spittoon device 2 are respectively provided with a seat height adjustment device 5 and a spittoon height adjustment device 6; the recognition control system 4 includes:
[0040] Infrared Recognition Module 7: The detection direction of the infrared recognition module 7 is towards the height of the human body above the seat 1, used to detect the height of the human body's sitting posture. The design of the infrared recognition module 7 can be to set an infrared recognition device at the end of the rotating mechanism, and at the same time set a gravity sensing module on the seat 1. When the rotation mechanism detects that the patient is sitting on the seat 1, it drives the infrared recognition device to rotate along the position of the human body until the distance sensed by the infrared recognition device is much greater than the previously detected distance. The position where the infrared recognition device last had a large distance change is confirmed, and the distance before the change is recorded. Record it, and also record the angle of rotation of the rotating mechanism. Given the distance between the spittoon and the seat. In this case, the Law of Cosines can be used:
[0041] ,
[0042] At the height of the human body Calculations are performed; in addition, the rotation mechanism can be replaced with a height adjustment mechanism, which drives the infrared recognition device to move up and down until the distance sensed by the infrared recognition device changes significantly. The position where the infrared recognition device last experienced a large distance change is then determined. At this point, the height of the infrared recognition module 7 from the chair is the height of the human sitting posture.
[0043] Data storage module 8: The data storage module 8 stores data on the adjustment height of the seat 1 and the adjustment height of the spittoon corresponding to different sitting posture heights. This design can be implemented statistically, designing multiple height ranges within the maximum and minimum height ranges, and obtaining the appropriate adjustment heights of the seat 1 and the spittoon corresponding to different sitting posture height ranges through experiments; and performing statistics to obtain the calculation relationship between different sitting posture height ranges and the adjustment guides of the seat 1 and the adjustment height of the spittoon; the infrared recognition module 7 identifies the height of the human sitting posture and can match the corresponding adjustment height data of the seat 1 and the spittoon, thereby realizing the adjustment of the height of the seat 1 and the spittoon.
[0044] Height adjustment module 9: Used to receive the human sitting height identified by infrared recognition module 7, and to match the corresponding seat 1 height adjustment data and spittoon height adjustment data from data storage module 8 to send control commands to seat height adjustment device 5 and spittoon height adjustment device 6 to adjust the height of seat 1 and spittoon.
