Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical equipment, and in particular relates to a dental chair with backrest limit protection and seat cushion linkage. Background Art

[0002] With the advancement of dental equipment technology, the safety and comfort of doctors and patients during dental treatment are receiving increasing attention. When patients are lying on a dental chair for treatment, they are increasingly concerned about the anti-collision function of the dental chair backrest during operation and the linkage of the seat cushion during movement. Current dental chairs have backrests that pitch and fall. When there is an obstacle behind the backrest, the equipment cannot stop movement in time and cannot keep the backrest away from the obstacle, thus failing to effectively protect the safety of patients and medical staff and causing damage to the equipment. Furthermore, the seat cushion of current dental chairs cannot move in conjunction with the backrest during pitch and fall motion, thus failing to provide optimal comfort for patients. Long-term treatment can easily cause muscle fatigue in patients, reducing comfort during diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to design a dental chair with backrest limit protection and seat cushion linkage. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is:

[0005] A dental chair with backrest limit protection and seat cushion linkage includes a backrest assembly, a curved plate, and a seat frame. The back of the backrest assembly is rotatably connected to the curved plate. The backrest assembly and the curved plate are connected via an elastic limit assembly and a rotating shaft pin, allowing the backrest assembly to produce a small angle of elastic rotation. A detection assembly is fixed to the curved plate, and the detection point of the detection assembly contacts the backrest assembly.

[0006] Guide rails are fixed on the side panels on both sides of the dental chair base frame, and the bent plate is slidably connected to the track in the guide rail. The bent plate is driven to slide by a motor fixed to the dental chair base frame; the seat frame is hinged to the side panels, and the bent plate is connected to the seat frame through a linkage mechanism and drives the seat frame to move.

[0007] Among them, the backrest assembly includes a backrest and a backrest plate, the backrest plate is fixedly connected to the middle position of the back of the backrest, and the two sides of the lower part of the backrest plate are connected to the bent plate through a rotating shaft pin, and the rotating shaft pin passes through the backrest plate and is screwed and fixed with the bent plate to enable the backrest plate to rotate around the central axis.

[0008] Furthermore, the elastic limiting assembly includes a backrest fixing screw and a spring. The backrest fixing screw passes through the spring and the bent plate and is screwed and fixedly connected to the backrest plate. The backrest fixing screw limits the rotation of the backrest assembly and allows it to rotate only at a small angle. The spring has a damping effect on the rotation of the backrest assembly.

[0009] Furthermore, the detection assembly includes a micro switch and a pitch safety bracket, the pitch safety bracket is fixed on the bent plate, the micro switch is fixed on the pitch safety bracket, and the roller on the micro switch contacts the lower surface of the backrest board.

[0024] Specifically, the elastic limiting assembly 4 includes a backrest fixing screw 4-1 and a spring 4-2. The backrest fixing screw 4-1 passes through the spring 4-2 and the bent plate 2 and is screwed and fixedly connected to the backrest plate 1-2. The backrest fixing screw 4-1 limits the rotation of the backrest assembly 1 so that it can only rotate at a small angle. The spring 4-2 has a damping effect on the rotation of the backrest assembly 1.

[0025] Specifically, the detection component 5 includes a micro switch 5-1 and a pitch safety bracket 5-2, the pitch safety bracket 5-2 is fixed on the bending plate 2, the micro switch 5-1 is fixed on the pitch safety bracket 5-2, the roller on the micro switch 5-1 is in contact with the lower surface of the backrest plate 1-2, and the micro switch 5-1 is connected to the dental chair control system.

[0026] The connection structure between the backrest and the bent plate mentioned above is such that when the backrest 1-1 moves downward with the bent plate 2, if the back of the backrest 1-1 is subjected to an external force, the backrest 1-1 and the backrest plate 1-2 will rotate at a small angle around the rotating shaft pin 3, thereby causing the lower surface of the backrest plate 1-2 to leave the microswitch 5-1, causing the roller on the microswitch 5-1 to move, triggering the state change of the microswitch 5-1, and the microswitch 5-1 will transmit a signal, causing the control system of the dental chair to control the backrest 1-1 to stop moving, and rise slightly under the action of the backrest fixing screw 4-1 and the spring 4-2, so that the backrest 1-1 is away from the force point, thereby protecting the safety of patients and medical staff, and ensuring the safety of the equipment.

[0027] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 As shown, guide rails 8 are fixed on the side panels 7 on both sides of the dental chair base, and the two sides of the bent plate 2 are slidably connected to the tracks in the guide rails 8. The bent plate 2 is driven by a motor 10 fixed to the dental chair base and slides along the tracks in the guide rails 8; the seat frame 9 is hinged to the side panels 7, and the bent plate 2 is connected to the seat frame 9 through a linkage mechanism 11 and drives the seat frame 9 to move.

[0028] Specifically, the linkage mechanism 11 includes a connecting rod B11-1, a connecting rod C11-2, and a fixed shaft 11-3. One end of the connecting rod B11-1 is hinged to the end of the bent plate 2, and the other end is hinged to the connecting rod C11-2. The other end of the connecting rod C11-2 is hinged to the seat frame 9. The hole on the middle part of the connecting rod C11-2 is passed through the fixed shaft 11-3, and both ends of the fixed shaft 11-3 are fixedly connected to the guide rail 8.

[0029] Specifically, both sides of the seat frame 9 are connected to the side panels 7 on both sides through a connecting rod A 9-1. One end of the connecting rod A 9-1 is hinged to the side panel 7, and the other end is hinged to the end of the seat frame 9.

[0030] With this structure, when the dental chair pitches, motor 10 pushes curved plate 2 along the track within guide rail 8. This in turn moves connecting rod C11-2, which in turn rotates around fixed axis 11-3 on guide rail 8, pushing seat frame 9 in concert. As the backrest moves through different treatment positions, the seat frame also synchronizes with the movement, providing optimal patient comfort and alleviating muscle fatigue during prolonged treatments.
