[0018] like Figure 2As shown, the pulse constant current source generating circuit is an improved circuit of a high-precision operational amplifier constant current source, including a constant current operational amplifier circuit and a pulse control circuit. The constant current operational amplifier circuit includes an operational amplifier U5, an analog switch U6, a transistor Q4 and a MOS tube Q1, a DA signal is input to one end of the resistor R9, the other end of R9 is connected to one end of the resistor R10, the other end of R10 is grounded, one end of the capacitor C23 is connected to one end of R9, the other end of C23 is grounded, and the other end of R9 is simultaneously connected to the same-direction input end of the operational amplifier U5. U5 can preferably use an operational amplifier of model tlv2211, the positive input end of the power supply of U5 and one end of the capacitor C24 are connected to a 3.3V power supply, the other end of C24 is grounded, and the negative input end of the power supply of U5 is grounded.

Load J1 acts on the sodium fluoride solution on the cotton strip, providing a DC pulse current signal for the penetration of fluoride. Under the action of the electric field, the sodium fluoride solution ionizes fluoride ions and enters the tooth tissue.

[0019] The pulse constant current source generating circuit of the utility model embodiment is based on the constant current circuit and adds a pulse control circuit, introduces different DA1 / DA levels at high and low levels respectively, and uses the characteristics of the operational amplifier itself to form a subtractor, which controls the constant current signal of 0.6ma / 0ma when the square wave signal is at a high level and the constant current signal of 0.3ma / 0ma when the square wave signal is at a low level. The frequency of the pulse circuit is 1k Hz, and the period is 1ms.

Fast switching and accurate switching are required, which requires accurate selection of hardware operational amplifiers and analog switches to design a stable circuit.

[0020] The output of this circuit is a pulse voltage based on the 0 point, that is, the high level is a positive voltage and the low level is 0. The value of DA1 is greater than DA. When DA / DA1 are added to the op amp input at the same time, because DA1 is greater than DA, the op amp output is 0. When PWM is high, pin 4 and pin 5 of U6 are connected. At this time, the voltage at the reverse input of U5 is greater than the voltage at the same input. U5 is cut off and the output is 0; when PWM is low, pin 6 and pin 5 of U6 are connected. At this time, the voltage at the reverse input of U5 is equal to the voltage at the same input, and a constant current (0.3 or 0.6, depending on the gear) is output. The innovation is to use the characteristics of the operational amplifier itself to form a subtractor to generate pulses based on the constant current circuit.

[0022] The PWM to DAC circuit of the embodiment of the utility model is a circuit for generating the control signal DA.

The PWM to DAC circuit of the utility model can provide a single-channel six DAC signal. The solution is to use the single-chip microcomputer's own more PWM signals plus an operational amplifier to generate the DAC signal itself. The advantage is that it is more cost-effective and has higher precision. The utility model uses the PWM to DAC circuit to expand the DAC signal output by the single-chip microcomputer DAC, and can better output high-precision pulse signals. The sixth-order filter circuit composed of two groups of third-order filters can ensure the accuracy and reliability of the DC component.

[0023] The tooth protector of the embodiment of the utility model is a combination of a constant current circuit and an analog switch to form a 1 kHz pulse constant current source circuit. The PWM to DAC circuit generates a DAC DC signal for voltage setting, and corresponds to the value of the constant current.
