Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to dental equipment, and more particularly to a pet dental treatment machine. Background Technology

[0002] In modern life, the proportion of families keeping pets is increasing year by year, and the corresponding pet market is becoming more and more diverse.

[0003] As people pay more attention to animal welfare and become more aware of oral health, the market for animal dental equipment is growing rapidly. As a result, more and more pet hospitals and dental clinics will need to introduce specialized dental treatments.

[0004] Pet dental treatment machines are specifically designed to meet this need. Compared to human dental treatment machines, they require a smaller size to fit the pet's body shape. They also have a lower tolerance for noise, as pets are more sensitive to sound. Because dental treatment machines involve high-pressure water components for rinsing and cleaning, as well as pneumatic components for grinding and cutting, the increased complexity of the water and air circuits leads to larger equipment requirements and increased noise levels. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model patent provides the public with a pet dental treatment machine that is compact, small in size, and has a high utilization rate of water and air channels, thus resulting in a simple structure.

[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a pet dental treatment machine, characterized in that it includes a handpiece control panel for performing pet dental treatment.

[0011] Furthermore, the pet dental treatment machine also includes a dental scaler, which is mounted on a hanger valve, which is a normally closed hanger valve. The multi-diaphragm valve also has a first water outlet, from which distilled water flowing out is connected to the dental scaler via a water path and a second pressure valve. The air path of the second pressure valve is connected to the normally closed hanger valve, which is connected to the air source. The water path to the dental scaler via the second pressure valve can only be opened when the air path of the normally closed hanger valve is opened.

[0012] Furthermore, the multi-diaphragm valve has multiple second water outlets respectively connected to the multiple mobile phones via water passages, so that distilled water entering from the first water inlet of the multi-diaphragm valve is distributed out through the multiple second water outlets; a corresponding number of bracket valves are installed in one-to-one correspondence with the multiple mobile phones, the bracket valves are normally open bracket valves, the air inlet of each corresponding normally open bracket valve is connected to the air source, and the air outlet is connected to one of the second air inlets of the multi-diaphragm valve via an air passage; the water passage of the mobile phone can only be opened when the corresponding normally open bracket valve closes the air passage.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0031] Figures 1 to 7 The image shown is one embodiment of the pet dental treatment machine to be protected by this utility model. Wherein, as... Figure 1 As shown, the pet dental treatment machine of this utility model includes a base 1, a mounting frame 2 on the base 1, and treatment devices such as an X-ray machine 6, a handset 7, a display screen 8, and a dental lamp 9 mounted on the mounting frame 2. These treatment devices are mounted on the mounting frame 2 via a robotic arm 3 or a linkage structure. Although the figure shows all four treatment devices located on the mounting frame 2, it is clear that not all devices need to be present or connected when not needed; for example, only the display screen 8 and the handset 7 are permissible.

[0032] The handpiece control unit 7 is the most important component of the dental treatment machine. Operations required throughout the entire dental treatment process, such as grinding, drilling, and rinsing, all rely on the dental handpieces on the handpiece control unit 7. Figure 1As shown, the mobile phone control panel 7 includes a control panel and a row of hanging rack boxes mounted on the control panel. Each hanging rack box is equipped with a matching mobile phone 72. The hanging rack box contains a hanging rack valve 74, and the valve switch of the hanging rack valve 74 can control whether the mobile phone 72 can work. Some hanging rack boxes do not contain mobile phones 72, but other equipment such as a three-in-one spray gun 71, a dental cleaning machine 73, etc., which can be freely combined as needed. Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the mounting brackets are respectively equipped with a three-way spray gun 71, three handpieces 72, and a dental scaler 73. The three-way spray gun 71 is independent of the mounting valve 74 in the corresponding mounting bracket, while the three handpieces 72 and the dental scaler 73 are controlled by their respective mounting valves 74. Other combinations of quantities and orders are also possible, and users can set and install them themselves.

[0033] The hanger valve 74 has an air passage. Inside the hanger valve 74 is a valve that is actuated by external control signals, such as electric or mechanical signals, to open or close the air passage by placing it in different positions within the air passage. More commonly, the valve is manually controlled, for example, by pressing or releasing it to move or reset it, thus adjusting its position in the air passage and opening or closing it, achieving the on / off function. Another method is to coordinate with a mobile phone, using the insertion and removal of the phone to synchronously open and close the air passage of the hanger valve 74.

[0034] For example, in one embodiment, a connecting rod structure that abuts the valve core is provided on the mounting box, which is connected to the mounting valve 74 inside the mounting box. When the mobile phone is placed in the mounting box, the connecting rod structure is pressed, which moves the valve core of the mounting valve 74 to open or close the air passage. When the mobile phone is removed from the mounting box, the valve core and the abutting structure return to their original positions, and the air passage is closed or opened again. This entire mechanism constitutes the function of a valve.

[0035] Depending on their initial state, phone holder valves are classified as normally open or normally closed. A normally open valve is open when the phone is not in use and is mounted on the holder, meaning the airflow path is open and unobstructed. When the phone is removed from the holder, the valve closes, cutting off the airflow. A normally closed valve, on the other hand, is closed when the phone is not in use, preventing airflow; it opens when the phone is removed from the holder, allowing unobstructed airflow.

[0036] Depending on their functions, mobile phones may require a water connection, such as for rinsing, or an air connection, such as for venting or spraying air. More commonly, four-hole phones require both water and air connections to function, for example, both air and water spraying need to be implemented in the same phone.

[0037] The composition and principle of the pet dental treatment machine of this patent will be described below based on the air and water circuits of each different functional device on the mobile phone control panel.

[0038] Figure 2 The illustration shows the water source and air source 5 that provide water and air to the water and air circuits of this pet dental treatment machine. In this embodiment, the water source includes a distilled water bottle 41 containing distilled water and a disinfectant bottle 42 containing disinfectant. Of course, in other embodiments, there may only be a distilled water bottle 41 or only a disinfectant bottle 42, depending on the specific functions and needs of the pet dental treatment machine.

[0039] Both the distilled water bottle 41 and the disinfectant bottle 42 have water outlets. Distilled water and disinfectant water flow out from the water outlets of their respective bottles and enter the water circuit. After being regulated by devices such as branching, pressure regulation, and switching, they finally enter terminal treatment devices such as the handpiece 72 and the dental cleaning machine 73.

[0040] Under normal atmospheric pressure, water typically flows from high to low. However, because treatment devices like the mobile phone 72 can be freely moved by the doctor as needed, the water-using treatment devices will be higher than the distilled water bottle 41 and the sterilized water bottle 42. Alternatively, according to... Figure 1 Mounting bracket 2 is mainly used to mount equipment frequently used by doctors, such as X-ray machine 6 and mobile phone 72. Therefore, distilled water bottle 41 and disinfectant bottle 42 are placed in places that are not easily accessible to doctors or others, such as on the side wall of base 1 or inside base 1. At this time, the position of the water bottle is lower than that of the terminal equipment such as mobile phone 72. Therefore, the water outlet of the water bottle will be lower than the water outlet of the water-using equipment. In order to achieve normal water supply, the distilled water bottle 41 and disinfectant bottle 42 must first be pressurized so that the distilled water and disinfectant at the lower position can flow upward.

[0041] Figure 2The diagram illustrates the gas path for pressurizing distilled water bottle 41 and sterilized water bottle 42. A gas path refers to the route through which gas is allowed to pass, not necessarily the path it is currently taking or is necessarily in a closed loop. To constrain the flow range of gas, it generally travels in pipes, which are called tracheas. Besides tracheas, the gas path also includes adjustments during its travel, such as splitting into two or more paths, merging multiple paths into one, switching or turning paths, choosing between two or more options, increasing or decreasing pressure, etc. These are all achieved through corresponding multi-port pipes, valves, or switches, which also constitute part of the gas path. The same logic applies to water paths, water pipes, and corresponding adjustments. The specific internal structure and working principle of these multi-port pipes, various valves, or switches are known existing products available on the market and will not be described here. However, how to select suitable components and combine them to form the gas path in this patent and the water path described later, ultimately obtaining the pet dental treatment machine of this patent, is the technical solution that the inventor and applicant wish to protect.

[0042] The following describes in detail the structure and working principle of the distilled water bottle 41 and the pressurized disinfectant bottle. In this embodiment, the air source 5 includes an air storage tank and an air compressor. The air compressor draws in air, compresses and pressurizes it, and then outputs it to the air storage tank for storage. Once the compressed gas in the air storage tank meets certain conditions, such as reaching a certain threshold pressure, the air compressor stops supplying gas to the air storage tank to prevent the pressure in the air storage tank from becoming too high. After the gas in the air storage tank is used by the treatment equipment in the air circuit, the gas in the air storage tank decreases and the pressure drops. When the pressure in the air storage tank drops to a certain threshold, the air compressor can continue to work and replenish the air storage tank, thereby always maintaining the pressure balance within a certain range.

[0043] The direction of compressed air output from the air tank is as follows: Figure 2 The solid straight lines and continuous broken lines with arrows are shown in the text. All solid lines with arrows represent air pipes, with one end connected to the air outlet of the device or equipment upstream of the arrow, and the other end connected to the air inlet of the device or equipment downstream of the arrow. The direction of the arrow is downstream, and the direction opposite to the arrow is upstream. Figure 2 In this system, the collection of air pipes and devices through which the air flows from the outlet of the gas storage tank to the inlets of the distilled water bottle 41 and the disinfectant bottle 42 constitutes the pressurized air path of the distilled water bottle 41 and the disinfectant bottle 42.

[0044] Specifically, the compressed air output from the gas storage tank is first diverted through an eight-way pipe 51. The eight-way pipe 51 is a type of multi-way pipe with eight vents, all of which are interconnected. Therefore, when gas enters through one vent, it will flow out through the other seven vents, thus splitting into seven gas paths. Obviously, the eight-way pipe is only one embodiment of this solution in this example. Depending on the required number of gas paths, other numbers of multi-way pipes can be selected; this is merely an example. The compressed gas flows out from one outlet of the eight-way pipe 51 and enters the pressure regulating valve 52. After being pressure-regulated by the pressure regulating valve 52, it enters the inlet of the water source gas supply switch 53. The water source gas supply switch 54 also has an outlet, from which gas can be output and enter a first three-way pipe 54. The first three-way pipe 54 is used to split one path of gas output from the water source gas supply switch 54 into two paths, which are respectively output into the distilled water bottle 41 and the disinfectant bottle 42. The water source gas supply switch 54 is a gas circuit switch used to open or close the gas path flowing through it. When the switch is open, the gas path is unobstructed, and gas is supplied to the distilled water bottle 41 and the disinfectant water bottle 42. This allows the gas pressure inside the bottle to force the distilled water or disinfectant water at a lower level to flow out and enter the treatment device such as the mobile phone 72, which has a higher water level. When it is necessary to stop the water flow during maintenance, refilling the water bottle, or other situations where pressurization of the water bottle is not required, the water source gas supply switch 53 can be closed.

[0045] The gas circuit is divided by an eight-way pipe 51, the pressure is regulated by a pressure regulating valve 52, and the water source gas supply switch 53 is switched on and off. It can ensure that the distilled water bottle 41 and the disinfectant water bottle 42 can supply water to the water circuit normally. The gas circuit design is simple, and the functions are complete with few components.

[0046] Figure 3 The diagram shows the water and air circuit structure of the three-way spray gun 71. The three-way spray gun 71 can spray distilled water for rinsing, disinfectant water for disinfection, and gas. Therefore, the three-way spray gun 71 needs to be connected in multiple ways, which will be described in detail below.

[0047] In the water circuit, the outlet of the distilled water bottle 41 is connected to one of the inlets of the first pressure valve, i.e., a three-way pressure valve 43. Then, two streams of distilled water are split from the three-way pressure valve 43, one of which is supplied to the first inlet W of the multi-diaphragm valve 45. I1 As the main water inlet of the multi-diaphragm valve 45, another output is supplied to one of the inlets of the water source switching valve 44. The other inlet of the water source switching valve 44 is connected to the outlet of the disinfectant bottle 42. For example... Figure 3As shown, the dashed line represents the water path for distilled water, and the arrows on the dashed line indicate the direction of water flow within the path. The dotted line represents the water path for disinfectant, and the arrows on the dotted line indicate the direction of water flow within the path. The meanings of the dashed and dotted lines are the same in the following text. The water source switching valve 44 switches the valve so that its outlet can selectively output either distilled water or disinfectant. The outlet of the water source switching valve 44 is connected to the water inlet of the three-way spray gun 71.

[0048] In the gas path, the gas supplied by the gas source 5 enters the eight-way pipe 51, and the main path outputs to the foot pedal 55. The branch path is split off from the eight-way pipe 51 and directly connected to the air inlet of the three-way spray gun 71.

[0049] The three-in-one spray gun 71 has two buttons, one on the water path and the other on the air path. Operating one button sprays water, and the water source switching valve 44 allows selection between distilled water and disinfectant. Operating the other button sprays air. Operating both buttons simultaneously produces a mist effect by emitting both water and air.

[0050] Figure 4 The diagram shows the water and air circuits of a dental scaler, a treatment device.

[0051] In the water circuit, the outlet of the distilled water bottle 41 is connected to the inlet of the first pressure valve, i.e., the three-way pressure valve 43. Then, the water flows out in two directions, one of which is connected to the first inlet W of the multi-diaphragm valve 45. I1 Another path connects to the water source switching valve 44. This path is unrelated to the water path of the dental scaler 73 and is not shown in the diagram. The first outlet W01 of the multi-diaphragm valve 45 is connected to the inlet of the second pressure valve. In this embodiment, the second pressure valve is a two-way pressure valve 47, whose outlet is connected to the inlet of the first fine-tuning knob 58. The outlet of the first fine-tuning knob 58 is connected to the dental scaler 73.

[0052] In the air circuit, the compressed gas from air source 5 is output to the inlet of the eight-way pipe 51, the main outlet is connected to the foot pedal 55, and the outlet of the foot pedal 55 is connected to the first inlet A of the multi-diaphragm valve 45. I1 The first outlet A of the multi-diaphragm valve 45 01The gas flows from the inlet of the second three-way pipe 46 to the outlet of the second three-way pipe 46, entering the three-way pressure valve 4. A branch of the eight-way pipe 51 also branches off, connecting to the hanger valve 74 on the hanger box of the dental scaler 73. The hanger valve 74, which works with the dental scaler 73, is a normally closed hanger valve. When the dental scaler 73 is not in use and is hung on the hanger valve 74, the hanger valve 74 is closed, meaning its valve is adjusted to block the airflow, thus disconnecting the internal airflow. When the dental scaler 73 is removed, the hanger valve 74 is opened, meaning its valve is adjusted to allow the airflow through its interior to pass through, thus unblocking the airflow between the inlet and outlet of the hanger valve 74. The hanger valve 74 can take in air from the air inlet and take out air from the air outlet. The air outlet is connected to the third three-way pipe 56, and then splits into two paths, one of which is connected to the pneumatic micro switch 57, and the other is connected to the two-way pressure water valve 47.

[0053] The flow of water in the pressure valve is controlled by its air circuit. Therefore, Figure 4 In this system, the distilled water path of the three-way pressure valve 43 is controlled by the air path opened by the foot pedal 55, and the water path of the two-way pressure valve 47 is controlled by the air path opened by the hanger valve 74. Therefore, in actual operation, if the dental scaler 73 needs to spray water to rinse teeth, the foot pedal 55 is pressed, opening the air path to pressurize the three-way pressure valve 43. As mentioned earlier, when the air pressure of the three-way pressure valve 43 reaches a certain threshold, it forces the water path of the three-way pressure valve 43 to open, allowing distilled water to enter from the inlet of the three-way pressure valve 43 and then exit from one of the outlets before flowing into the first inlet W of the multi-diaphragm valve 45. I1 Then from the first outlet W 01 The gas flows out and then enters the inlet of the two-way pressure valve 47. Opening the hanger valve 74, for example, by removing the dental scaler 73 from the hanger box, will automatically open the corresponding hanger valve 74, ensuring unobstructed airflow. Therefore, the gas flowing from one branch outlet of the eight-way pipe 51 enters the hanger valve 74 and flows out. After passing through the third three-way pipe 56, a branch of the gas enters the inlet of the two-way pressure valve 47 and continues to flow into the valve until a threshold is reached, opening the water path within the valve. Distilled water enters from the inlet and flows out from the outlet, then enters the first fine-tuning knob 58 for water pressure fine-tuning before entering the dental scaler 73. Another branch of the gas, branched off from the third three-way pipe 56, enters the pneumatic microswitch 57, which is connected to the power supply of the dental scaler 73. When the air passage of the hanger valve 74 is unobstructed, the gas pressure entering the pneumatic micro-control switch 57 will control the switch to activate the power supply, and the dental scaler 73 can work.

[0054] Therefore, the water circuit of the dental cleaning machine 73 here requires both the hanger valve 74 and the foot pedal 55 to be operated, which can avoid accidental operation.

[0055] Figure 5The diagram shows the water circuit control principle of the mobile phone. In this embodiment, the mobile phone is a four-hole phone, with both water and air outputs. Here, the structure and working principle of the water circuit will be explained first.

[0056] In this embodiment, there are three mobile phones 72. Correspondingly, the water path to the mobile phones 72 is divided into three paths via a multi-diaphragm valve 45. The multi-diaphragm valve 45 is also a triple diaphragm valve. When there are more mobile phones 72, the corresponding water path needs to utilize a multi-diaphragm valve 45 with one inlet and multiple outlets. Multiple mounting valves 74 cooperate with the mobile phones 72, and the three mounting valves 74 that cooperate with the mobile phones 72 are normally open mounting valves. When the mobile phones 72 are not in use or are mounted on the mounting valves, the internal air passage of these normally open mounting valves is unobstructed. Only after the mobile phones 72 are removed, the valves of the corresponding mounting valves 74 are positioned to block the air passage, thus closing the air passage through the mounting valves 74, and only then will the water path to the mobile phones 72 open. In other words, for the water path to the mobile phones 72 to be unobstructed, the air passage of the mounting valves 74 must be disconnected. The flow directions of the water and air paths will be explained separately below.

[0057] The working principles of the air path controlling the three-way water valve 43 via foot pedal 55 and the water path supplying water from the three-way water valve 43 to the multi-port diaphragm valve 45 have been described previously and will not be repeated here. Distilled water enters from the first inlet W of the multi-port diaphragm valve 45. I1 After entering, the water flows out from the three second outlets W02, and the three water paths pass through the second fine-tuning knob 59 before entering the water inlets of the three mobile phones 72.

[0058] Simultaneously, three air paths branch off from the branch outlet of the eight-way valve 51, each connecting to the air inlet of one of the three bracket valves 74. The outlet of the bracket valve 74 is connected to the three second air inlets A of the multi-diaphragm valve 45. I2 In the middle. Because the multi-diaphragm valve 45 also has a first outlet A. 01 And other air outlets, which will be introduced later, so the various air passages in the multi-diaphragm valve 45 are open and interconnected.

[0059] When the phone needs to be used in water, the phone 72 is removed from the holder box. The normally open holder valve 74 on the holder box changes from open to closed, thus shutting off the air path passing through the holder valve 74. At this time, there is only one air path, that is, the air source is connected to the air inlet of the foot pedal 55 via the eight-way pipe 51, and then connected to the first air inlet A of the multi-diaphragm valve from the air outlet of the foot pedal 55. I1 And from the first air outlet A 01 Connect to the three-way pressure valve 43. Therefore, pressing the foot pedal 55 allows gas to flow from the first outlet A of the multi-diaphragm valve. 01 The output water enters the second three-way pipe 46 and pressurizes the three-way pressure valve 43, forcing the distilled water to flow out and enter the first inlet W of the multi-diaphragm valve 45.I1 Since the normally open hanger valve 74 is closed at this time, no gas enters the second inlet A of the multi-diaphragm valve 45 from the hanger valve. I2 Therefore, no pressure is applied to the diaphragm to block the water flow within the multi-diaphragm valve 45, and thus distilled water flows from the first inlet W. I1 After entering, water can be drawn from the three secondary outlets W. 02 It was leaked and supplied to three mobile phone manufacturers, number 72.

[0060] When the phone 72 is placed back into the holder box, the corresponding holder valve 74 changes from closed to open, the air passage of the holder valve 74 is unblocked, and the gas flowing through it enters the three second air inlets A of the multi-diaphragm valve 45. I2 The diaphragm inside the multi-diaphragm valve 45 is squeezed, thereby blocking the first inlet W. I1 Second outlet W 02 The waterway between the two devices prevented water from flowing out to the phone 72, thus preventing the phone 72 from operating.

[0061] In this article, "connection to the air source" can refer to direct connection, meaning the devices are directly connected via an air pipe, or indirect connection, where the connection is formed through another device. For example, the hanger valve 74 and the air source 5 are connected via an eight-way valve 51. As long as the air path is connected and can achieve passage, it falls under the category of "connection to the air source" in this article. It is not required that the air path remain open at all times; it is possible for it to be disconnected by the switching action of certain valves or other devices. Similarly, "connection to the air path or water path of a certain device" means the same thing.

[0062] Figure 6 The diagram shows the control principle of the air circuit in a mobile phone. Since the air outlet of the mobile phone is also controlled by the hanger valve, the diagram shows both the air circuit of the mobile phone and the air circuit of the hanger valve.

[0063] Among them, hanger valve 74 is... Figure 5 The corresponding normally open hanger valve in the middle has a gas path that is... Figure 5 The process is the same as described above, so I won't repeat it here. The gas coming out of the foot pedal 55 enters through the first inlet A of the multi-diaphragm valve 45. I1 Inlet, first outlet A 01 After exiting, the air enters the second three-way valve 46, and one of the outlets of the second three-way valve 46 exits through a gas path, which connects to the third inlet A of the multi-diaphragm valve 45. I3 From the third air intake A I3 The incoming gas serves as the main intake air path, and after passing through the multi-diaphragm valve 45, it branches into three paths, which can exit from the three secondary outlet ports A on it. 02 Outflow, three secondary vents A 02 After passing through the second fine-tuning knob 59, it connects to the air intake of each of the three mobile phones.

[0064] When air needs to be released from phone 72, phone 72 is removed from the holder box. Correspondingly, the holder valve 74 is closed, blocking the airflow through it. Therefore, the third air inlet A on the multi-diaphragm valve 45 is blocked. I3 There is no gas input, and therefore no pressure is applied to the diaphragm to block the gas flow within the multi-diaphragm valve 45. Therefore, gas flows from the third inlet A... I3 The incoming gas can enter through three secondary outlets A 02 The gas flows out and enters the mobile phone 72 after passing through the fine-tuning knob 72. At this time, the mobile phone 72 has gas that can be output.

[0065] Similarly, when the phone 72 is placed back into the holder box, the corresponding holder valve 74 changes from closed to open, the air passage of the holder valve 74 is unblocked, and the gas flowing through it enters the three second air inlets A of the multi-diaphragm valve 45. I2 The diaphragm inside the multi-diaphragm valve 45 is squeezed, thereby blocking the third air inlet A. I3 Second air outlet A 02 The air passage between them was blocked, resulting in no water flowing out to the phone 72, and the phone 72 could not operate.

[0066] Therefore, controlling the switch of the hanger valve 74 can control whether the mobile phone 72 can output distilled water or gas. The entire gas circuit is achieved by only using the multi-diaphragm valve 45 and the eight-way tube 51. The number of parts used is very small, and the gas circuit is simple.

[0067] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the driving air circuit of mobile phone 72. (Compared to the previous...) Figure 6 The differences shown Figure 6 This is the air outlet of the phone 72. The air entering the phone 72 in the diagram will be directly output to blow air into the pet's teeth. Figure 7 The driving air path of the mobile phone 72 is used to drive the turbine inside the mobile phone 72 to rotate. The head of each mobile phone 72 will be used to install various drill bits for cutting, drilling and other functions. The drill bits are installed on the turbine inside the mobile phone 72. When the high-pressure gas drives the turbine to rotate, it will drive the drill bit to rotate, thereby realizing the aforementioned cutting and other actions.

[0068] Similarly, the air path of the hanger valve 74 is as described above and will not be repeated here. A third air outlet A is also led out from the multi-diaphragm valve 45. 03 Third air outlet A 03 It is directly connected to the driving gas inlet of the mobile phone 72, and the inlet of the actuator is... Figure 6 The phone's air intake is two different air intakes. Figure 6The gas in the air inlet will be directly output from the mobile phone 72 for exhaust, such as blowing air into the mobile phone to cool the drill bit, or it can be used in conjunction with the water circuit to blow water into water mist. Figure 7 The gas entering through the intake port of the drive unit will drive the turbine to rotate.

[0069] Therefore, when the turbine needs to be driven, the mobile phone 72 is removed, the corresponding bracket valve 74 closes, and the air passage through the bracket valve 74 is blocked. Thus, the second air inlet A of the multi-diaphragm valve 45 connected to the bracket valve 74 is blocked. I2 No gas input, the third gas outlet A controlled by it 03 Only then can air be released, so that gas enters the corresponding mobile phone 72's drive gas inlet through the third fine-tuning knob 60, thereby driving the turbine to rotate.

[0070] In other words, from the third air outlet A 03 The three directly connected air passages are controlled by the corresponding three hanger valves 74. When the hanger valve 74 is closed, there is no gas output from the hanger valve 74, and only then can the air passage of the third air outlet A03 be opened, thereby driving the mobile phone 72.

[0071] Meanwhile, since the air supply originates from the foot pedal 55 and enters the multi-diaphragm valve 45, these three air supply lines are also controlled by the foot pedal 55. When the foot pedal is pressed lightly or heavily, the amount of air introduced changes, and the airflow in these three air supply lines will change accordingly.

[0072] Furthermore, the multi-diaphragm valve 45 is also equipped with three knobs, which are used to control the three air outlets from the third outlet A. 03 The air passage opens and closes, thus controlling the airflow and adjusting its magnitude.

[0073] To more clearly demonstrate the various ports of the multi-diaphragm valve 45, including the air inlet, air outlet, water inlet, and water outlet, the following is provided: Figure 8 Refer to the previous text for locating each port. There is also a fourth air outlet, A. 04 As not described above, it can be used to connect other devices, such as pressure gauges, to observe the air intake pressure of the currently used mobile phone. Of course, other devices can also be installed as needed.

[0074] Depend on Figure 8 It can be seen that this solution utilizes the multi-port diaphragm valve 45 to its fullest potential, with all 18 ports being fully utilized. For example... Figure 8 As shown, whether each port of the multi-port diaphragm valve 45 is a water inlet, water outlet, air inlet, or air outlet has been explained above. The labels mentioned for each port in the preceding text are all... Figure 8 Its location is shown in the text, so the previous description can be referenced. Figure 8 The explanation will not be repeated here.

[0075] It is necessary to further explain the internal water and air circuit structure of the multi-diaphragm valve 45. For example... Figure 8 As shown, the first water inlet W I1 and the first outlet W 01 It is a straight-through connection, and connects to three second outlets W. 02 They are also interconnected, meaning one intake and four exhausts, with one path branching into four. The first air intake is A. I1 and the first air outlet A 01 It is also straight-through, and connected to three third air vents W. 03 They are also interconnected, meaning one entrance and four exits. Additionally, Figure 8 The four ports enclosed by each dashed box in the diagram form a group of ports, each including a second air intake A. I2 , the second water outlet W 02 Second air outlet A 02 Third air outlet A 03 And the second air intake A I2 Located on one side of the diaphragm of the multi-diaphragm valve 45, the second outlet W 02 Second air outlet A 02 Third air outlet A 03 Located on the other side of the diaphragm, it controls the opening and closing of the air and water passages.

[0076] Specifically, if Figure 9a As shown, when the second air inlet A I2 The air passage is unobstructed, meaning the normally open mounting valve 74 corresponding to the mobile phone is open, and the mobile phone is normally placed on the normally open mounting valve 74. Air enters from the second air inlet A. I2 The pressure exerted by the gas entering the cavity on the diaphragm 450 is offset by the pressure exerted by the water or gas on the diaphragm 450 at the port connected to the inlet I on the other side of the diaphragm 450, such as the first water inlet WI1 or the first air inlet AI1, thus preventing the diaphragm 450 from deforming. Figure 9a The surface shown is attached between inlet I and outlet 0, with outlet 0 including a second outlet W. 02 Second air outlet A 02 Third air outlet A 03 .

[0077] When the second air intake A I2 The air path is blocked, meaning the normally open mounting valve 74 corresponding to the phone is closed. At this point, the phone is removed from the normally open mounting valve 74, ready for operation. Due to the blocked air path, the second air inlet A... I2 No gas enters the multi-diaphragm valve 45 on this side, i.e. Figure 9b As shown, there is no air pressure on the right side of diaphragm 450, and the inlet I on the left side includes the first inlet W.I1 Or the first air intake A I1 The water or gas in the membrane exerts pressure on the diaphragm 450, causing it to deform and no longer isolate the inlet I and outlet O, thus creating a passage. (The preceding...) Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 They all work based on this principle to enable the phone to dispense water, release air, and operate.

[0078] Each set of ports has a corresponding knob below it, which can be operated to open or close the third air outlet A. 03 Furthermore, the knob is infinitely adjustable, so it can be gradually adjusted from fully open to fully closed, thereby controlling the size of the air passage driven by the mobile phone.

[0079] Through the multi-diaphragm valve, the water and air inlet of the three-in-one spray gun 71, the hanger valve control and water inlet of the dental scaler 73, and the hanger valve control and water and air inlet of the three handpieces 72 are realized. It integrates multiple functions, effectively improves the utilization rate of components in the water and air circuits, simplifies the structure, and reduces the size.

[0080] In addition, when performing dental treatment on pets, veterinarians need to operate fine-tuning knobs to adjust the flow rate of water or air, such as the first, second, and third fine-tuning knobs 58, 59, and 60. This requires the veterinarian to use both hands to operate the knobs while performing the treatment, which is very inconvenient.

[0081] Therefore, the pet dental treatment machine of this patent can further be equipped with an intelligent control system. This intelligent control system includes a control panel with a controller, or alternatively, the controller can be used directly without a control panel. A proportional solenoid valve is installed in the water or air circuit, and the controller is electrically connected to the proportional solenoid valve, enabling communication and control.

[0082] The pet dental treatment machine also includes a user terminal, which could be a display screen (8), or other buttons or operating interfaces. This user terminal can have manually input control buttons, a user interface based on the distribution and proportional control parameters of proportional solenoid valves, a command input bar, or a voice-activated device or other control method. When a user, such as a veterinarian, needs to adjust the water or air circuit during treatment, they can input control commands manually or via voice into the user terminal. The user terminal connects to the controller, thus inputting the control commands to the controller. The controller then controls the opening and closing ratio of the proportional solenoid valve according to the control commands, thereby adjusting the flow rate or velocity in the water or air circuit where the proportional solenoid valve is located.

[0083] Preferably, the controller may include a voice recognition module. When the voice recognition module recognizes a valid voice command, it converts the voice command into a control signal. The controller then controls the opening and closing ratio of the electronically controlled proportional valve according to the control signal, thereby adjusting the water or gas circuit.

[0084] The electronically controlled proportional valve can be installed in the water or gas circuit of a mobile phone, or in the water or gas circuit of a multi-diaphragm valve. In particular, it can be installed on both the main circuit and branch circuits.

[0085] For example, distilled water from distilled water bottle 41 enters the three-way pressure valve 43, and then a branch flows into the first inlet W of the multi-diaphragm valve 45. I1 The water path between the three-way pressure valve 43 and the multi-diaphragm valve 45 is the main water path, and a proportional solenoid valve can be installed on this main path. Distilled water enters from the first inlet W. I1 After entering, it is divided into three branches inside the multi-diaphragm valve 45, which respectively flow from the three second outlets W. 02 The water flows out and is connected to three mobile phones 72 via the second fine-tuning knob 59, from the second outlet W. 02 The water path between the water inlet of the mobile phone 72 is a branch path. This branch path is divided into two air paths by the second fine-tuning knob 59. A proportional electronic control valve can be set in either of these two air paths.

[0086] Similarly, the air flowing out from the second three-way valve 46 enters the third inlet A of the multi-diaphragm valve 45. I3 The air path between them is the main path, which is divided into three paths inside the multi-diaphragm valve 45, and connected to three second air outlets A. 02 The air path between the three second air outlets A02 and the mobile phone air inlet via the third fine-tuning knob 60 is a branch path. A proportional electronic control valve can be set on the main path and / or branch path.

[0087] In addition to controlling the proportional electronic valve, the controller can also be connected to other functional devices or treatment equipment to achieve intelligent control. For example, the controller can be connected to the oral lamp 9 and controlled through the aforementioned user terminal or another user terminal connected to the controller, such as adjusting the brightness.

[0088] The aforementioned fine-tuning knobs, multi-diaphragm valves 45, and other components are all located inside or on the outer surface of the base 1, or they can be placed on the mounting bracket 2 in a convenient position for operation or display; this document does not impose any restrictions. The water and air circuits are connected by pipes, which are either located inside the base 1 or within the hollow cavity of the mounting bracket 2, avoiding direct exposure as much as possible to protect the safety of the water and air circuits.

[0089] In summary, the beneficial effects of the pet dental treatment machine provided by this utility model embodiment are as follows: by using a multi-diaphragm valve, the water path in the water system and the air path in the air system are both branched out into multiple paths, so that the multiple branched air and water paths are connected to multiple functional devices, especially multiple handsets, thereby realizing the control and operation of multiple functional devices. Furthermore, the water system and the air system share the same multi-diaphragm valve, so the structure of the entire system is very compact, with fewer water and air path components, small size, and cost savings.

[0090] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the application of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model; for those skilled in the art, other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description, and it is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all implementation methods here; any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
