[0054] To better explain and facilitate understanding of this utility model, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0055] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.
[0056] Furthermore, in this utility model, the use of terms such as "first," "second," etc., is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0057] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "fixing" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; "connection" can mean a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can mean the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0058] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 7This utility model provides a light-curing adapter, which includes a lamp holder 1, a bent sleeve 2, a socket plate 3, a DC socket 4, a fixing sleeve 5, and a connector 6. The lamp holder 1 is built into the first end of the bent sleeve 2, and the socket plate 3 is built into the second end. An external thread 21 is provided on the second end of the bent sleeve 2. An internal thread 61 is provided in the connector 6, and the internal thread 61 is threadedly connected to the external thread 21. The fixing sleeve 5 is built into the connector 6. One end of the DC socket 4 is inserted into the socket plate 3, and the other end passes through the fixing sleeve 5 and extends into the connector 6. The socket plate 3 and the fixing sleeve 5 support the DC socket 4 in a suspended state.
[0059] This novel light-curing adapter can be used not only on light-curing machines but also connected to dental handpieces. The lamp head 1 is directly mounted on the machine head, effectively reducing light loss and improving illumination. The socket plate 3 and DC socket 4 establish electrical connections with the internal electrical components of the device. The fixing sleeve 5 supports the DC socket 4. The connector 6 connects to the dental handpiece body, i.e., the handle 8.
[0060] The bending sleeve 2 bends near the end of the lamp head 1, forming a bending node. This prevents the light from the lamp head 1 from shining directly into the user's eyes and causing glare when the user holds the dental handpiece. The bending sleeve 2 causes the light from the lamp head 1 to shine at a bent angle, thus effectively avoiding or reducing the amount of light from the lamp head 1 entering the user's eyes and improving the user experience.
[0061] The socket plate 3 is built into the bent sleeve 2, and the plug of the DC socket 4 is inserted into the socket plate 3. The DC socket 4 passes through the fixing sleeve 5, which provides support for the DC socket 4. Both the socket plate 3 and the fixing sleeve 5 are supporting components for the DC socket 4. Through the effective cooperation between the socket plate 3 and the fixing sleeve 5, the DC socket 4 is suspended when built into the wall, which effectively improves the connection stability of the DC socket 4, facilitates the quick installation and removal of the DC socket 4, and reduces the safety hazard of electric shock to users when the equipment comes into contact with water.
[0062] The bent sleeve 2 is threadedly connected to the connector 6, which allows the DC socket 4 and the connector 6 to be disassembled and assembled axially, and also allows the light-curing adapter to be directly connected to the dental handpiece body as a whole, making disassembly and assembly flexible.
[0063] The DC socket 4 extends through the fixing sleeve 5 and into the connector 6. That is, the DC socket 4 does not protrude from the connector 6. The connector 6 can effectively protect the DC socket 4 and improve the reliability of the equipment.
[0064] like Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, the lamp head 1 includes LED beads 11, a circuit board 12, and a focusing ring 13. The focusing ring 13 and the circuit board 12 are respectively built into the first end of the bent sleeve 2. One end face of the substrate 111 of the LED beads 11 is connected to the circuit board 12; the other end face of the substrate 111 abuts against the focusing ring 13. Specifically, the large-diameter end of the focusing ring 13 is engaged with the first end face of the bent sleeve 2; the small-diameter end of the focusing ring 13 abuts against the substrate 111, and the circuit board 12 abuts against the inner wall step of the bent sleeve 2, so as to clamp the LED beads 11 between the focusing ring 13 and the bent sleeve 2, ensuring the connection strength of the LED beads 11, and thus ensuring the stability of the light path. Secondly, the circuit board 12 is electrically connected to the socket board 3, and the circuit board 12 can play a role in shielding light. Then, the light is focused by the focusing ring 13, which effectively improves the brightness of the LED beads 11 and improves the lighting quality of the light curing adapter.
[0065] Furthermore, the lamp holder 1 also includes a first washer 14; the first washer 14 is disposed between the substrate 111 of the LED bead and the focusing ring 13. The first washer 14 can be a rubber washer, which serves as a buffer and seal. The first washer 14 can reduce the impact force between the substrate 111 and the focusing ring 13, effectively protecting the LED bead 11 and extending the service life of the lamp holder 1. The first washer 14 can also effectively prevent water from flowing into the circuit board 12 at the focusing ring 13, improving the safety performance of the equipment.
[0066] In addition, a supporting inner tube 22 is provided inside the bent sleeve 2. In this embodiment, the supporting inner tube 22 is connected to the connecting seat 24 built into the bent sleeve 2, and the circuit board 12 abuts against the end face of the supporting inner tube 22. The supporting inner tube 22 can effectively support the bent sleeve 2, and compared with a solid sleeve, both the bent sleeve 2 and the supporting inner tube 22 are hollow sleeves, so they are lighter and effectively reduce the weight of the equipment, making it easier for users to use. Optionally, the bending nodes of the bent sleeve 2 and the supporting inner tube 22 are flexible nodes, so as to adjust the bending angle of the bent sleeve 2 and improve the flexibility of the lamp head 1.
[0067] See you again Figure 6 The fixing sleeve 5 is a T-shaped fixing sleeve; the second end of the bent sleeve 2 has a first stepped groove 23 inside, which engages with one end of the T-shaped fixing sleeve; the connector 6 has a second stepped groove 62 inside, which engages with the other end of the T-shaped fixing sleeve. Through the effective cooperation of the first stepped groove 23 and the second stepped groove 62, the fixing sleeve 5 can be clamped between the bent sleeve 2 and the connector 6, achieving axial limiting and radial support for the fixing sleeve 5, thereby improving the stability of the DC socket 4 during suspended installation. Furthermore, the stepped groove structure allows the fixing sleeve 5 and the DC socket 4 to be pulled out axially, facilitating equipment maintenance, replacement, and disassembly.
[0068] Secondly, the fixing sleeve 5 has a third stepped groove 51 and a fourth stepped groove 52; the socket plate 3 is engaged with the third stepped groove 51; and the DC socket 4 is engaged with the fourth stepped groove 52. Specifically, the outer wall of the DC socket 4 is provided with an annular plate, which is engaged with the fourth stepped groove 52. Similarly, the third stepped groove 51 and the fourth stepped groove 52 engage the DC socket 4 between the socket plate 3 and the fixing sleeve 5, thereby achieving axial limiting and radial support for the DC socket 4, further improving the stability of the DC socket 4 during suspended installation.
[0069] Furthermore, the lamp holder 1, the inner support tube 22, the socket plate 3, the DC socket 4, and the fixing sleeve 5 are each provided with an opening groove 7; multiple limiting ribs (not shown) are provided along their own axial direction inside the bent sleeve 2; the opening groove 7 is engaged with the limiting ribs. Specifically, the opening groove 7 can slide along the length direction of the limiting ribs, and the limiting ribs can limit the rotation of the opening groove 7 around the axial direction of the fixing sleeve 5, thereby enhancing the connection strength between the components and improving the overall stability of the UV curing adapter.
[0070] In addition, this utility model also provides a light curing machine, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the UV curing machine includes the UV curing adapter as described above. The UV curing machine also includes a handle 8 and a connector 9; one end of the handle 8 is snapped into the connector 6 (either with an interference fit or a snap-fit), and the other end is threaded into the connector 9; the other end of the connector 9 has an interface. Specifically, the snap-fit and threaded connection methods facilitate disassembly and assembly, improving the flexibility of the handle 8. The connector 9 houses the circuitry and interface, which is connected to an external power source.
[0071] In addition, connector 6 is an umbrella-shaped connector, which includes a head and a rod. A second washer 63 is fitted onto the rod. The second washer 63 engages with the inner wall of handle 8, and handle 8 abuts against the side of the head facing the rod. Specifically, the second washer 63 can be a rubber ring, which serves as a buffer and seal, further reducing the risk of water flowing into the equipment and improving the safety of the equipment. Annular grooves are correspondingly formed on the outer wall of connector 6 and the inner wall of handle 8. The second washer 63 engages within these grooves, allowing the light-curing adapter to rotate after engaging with handle 8. This facilitates adjustment of the working angle of the light-curing adapter and improves the flexibility of equipment use.
[0072] It should be understood that the above description of the specific embodiments of this utility model is only for illustrating the technical route and features of this utility model, and its purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. However, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. All changes or modifications made within the scope of the claims of this utility model should be covered by the protection scope of this utility model.
