Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of medical device technology, and more specifically, to a light curing lamp device. Background Technology
[0002] A dental light-curing lamp is a dental instrument that uses light radiation to irradiate and rapidly cure photosensitive resin-based composite materials used in dental cavity repairs. Light-curing lamps operate with high light intensity and high power, resulting in significant heat generation. This necessitates the addition of a heat dissipation structure to the lamp head, leading to a larger size. (See attached image.) Figure 4 As shown, the dental light curing machine has a screen to display relevant parameters. It is difficult to make the main unit slim, and prolonged use will cause fatigue, resulting in a poor user experience. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that it is difficult to make the host thin in the existing technology, and long-term use will cause fatigue and poor user experience.
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a photocuring lamp device, which employs the following technical solution:
[0005] A light curing lamp device, comprising:
[0006] The main unit includes a handle and a lamp head mounted on the handle, both the handle and the lamp head housings being made of metal.
[0007] The base is communicatively connected to the host computer, and a screen is mounted on the base.
[0008] Furthermore, the base includes a placement slot adapted to the handle, the main unit is adapted to be inserted into the placement slot, the bottom of the placement slot is provided with a drain hole, the drain hole is located in the middle of the placement slot, the drain hole is used to connect the placement slot with the outside, and the bottom wall of the placement slot is inclined toward the drain hole.
[0009] Furthermore, the base is provided with a light metering port, and a light radiation intensity detection head is provided inside the light metering port.
[0010] Furthermore, the base is also provided with a replacement slot for placing a converter lamp head.
[0011] Furthermore, a battery is also provided in the base located below the photometer port and the replacement slot, and a battery cavity for installing the battery is provided in the base.
[0012] Furthermore, the main unit also includes a housing for connecting the handle and the lamp head, the housing being made of metal.
[0013] Furthermore, the handle is also provided with a switch and a first indicator light. The first indicator light and the switch are arranged on the same horizontal and vertical plane. The first indicator light is used to indicate the on / off state of the switch.
[0014] Furthermore, a tail cap is provided at the end of the handle away from the outer casing, and the tail cap is made of plastic.
[0015] Furthermore, the base is connected to the host via a Bluetooth module, which is located inside the tail cover.
[0016] Furthermore, the tail cover is also provided with a second indicator light for displaying the Bluetooth connection status.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following main advantages:
[0018] The handle and lamp head housings described in this application are both made of metal. Heat dissipation is achieved directly through the metal housings of the handle and lamp head. Metal has high thermal conductivity, meaning that the housings of the handle and lamp head can quickly conduct heat away from the heat source, effectively reducing the device's temperature. Furthermore, the heat dissipation structure can be reduced or eliminated, allowing for a smaller and slimmer design of the main unit. The main unit also eliminates the screen design, placing it on the base, further reducing fatigue from prolonged gripping, extending the main unit's lifespan, and improving the user experience. While maintaining a slim handle, the use of a metal material with good heat dissipation in the handle and lamp head prevents temperature drift of the components inside the handle, which could affect communication and ensure the stability of the communication connection between the handle and the base.

Detailed Implementation
[0025] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs; the terminology used herein in the specification of the application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application; the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the specification, claims, and foregoing drawings of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, or foregoing drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a particular order.
[0026] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.
[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0028] Please refer to Figure 4 As shown in the prior art, the traditional dental light-curing lamp main unit mainly consists of a lamp head, a housing, a screen, and a handle. The lamp head and handle housing are both made of plastic, which has poor heat dissipation performance compared to metal. A heat dissipation structure needs to be added inside the lamp head, which increases the size of the lamp head and causes fatigue during prolonged use. In addition, the screen is placed on the handle, and in order to ensure the viewing effect, the screen cannot be made too small, making it difficult to make the handle slim, further increasing fatigue.
[0029] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, this application provides a photocuring lamp device, which adopts the following technical solution:
[0030] A light curing lamp device, comprising:
[0031] The main unit 100 includes a handle 1 and a lamp head 2 disposed on the handle 1. The outer shells of the handle 1 and the lamp head 2 are both made of metal material.
[0032] The base 200 is communicatively connected to the host 100, and a screen 3 is provided on the base 200.
[0033] The outer shells of the handle 1 and lamp head 2 described in this application are both made of metal. Heat dissipation is achieved directly through the metal outer shells of the handle 1 and lamp head 2. Metal also has high thermal conductivity, meaning that the outer shells of the handle 1 and lamp head 2 can quickly conduct heat away from the heat source, effectively reducing the device temperature. Furthermore, the heat dissipation structure can be reduced or eliminated, allowing for a smaller and slimmer design of the main unit 100. The main unit 100 also eliminates the screen design, placing the screen 3 on the base 200, enabling a more compact and slimmer design, reducing fatigue from prolonged gripping, extending the lifespan of the main unit 100, and improving the user experience. While maintaining a slim handle 1, the use of a metal material with good heat dissipation for the handle 1 and lamp head 2 in this application prevents temperature drift of the components inside the handle 1, which could affect communication and ensure the stability of the communication connection between the handle 1 and the base 200.
[0034] Furthermore, if the lamp head 2 is not made of metal and lacks a heat dissipation structure, the temperature will rise and be conducted to the handle 1 at the rear, causing temperature drift of the components inside the handle 1 and affecting communication, resulting in poor signal. In addition, if it is not made of metal and lacks a heat dissipation structure, heat will easily accumulate at the lamp head 2 and be difficult to conduct away, leading to a higher temperature and a shorter lifespan for the lamp head 2. The solution in this application, however, ensures heat dissipation while maintaining the slim profile of the host 100, preventing heat from affecting communication and ensuring good Bluetooth communication.
[0035] Furthermore, the handle 1 and lamp head 2 of this application are made of metal materials with good heat dissipation, which can avoid temperature drift of the components of the handle 1, thereby ensuring the stability of the communication connection between the host 100 and the base 200. This allows users to clearly view and adjust the operating parameters and modes on the base in real time. Moreover, dentists often turn their faces when operating the light curing machine due to the high light intensity, which allows them to see the mode and countdown time on the base screen placed on the instrument tray. Compared with the existing technology where the screen is on the handle, the user experience of this application is much better.
[0036] As attached Figure 3As shown, the base 200 further includes a placement slot 4 adapted to the handle 1. The main unit 100 is adapted to be inserted into the placement slot 4. A drain hole 41 is provided at the bottom of the placement slot 4, and the drain hole 41 is located in the middle of the placement slot 4. The drain hole 41 is used to connect the placement slot 4 to the outside. The bottom wall of the placement slot 4 is inclined towards the drain hole 41. The placement slot 4 facilitates the placement of the handle 1 and allows for flexible placement and removal of the handle 1. The drain hole 41 ensures that liquids and dust generated during the use of the main unit 100 can be discharged in a timely manner, avoiding liquid accumulation in the placement slot 4, reducing the risk of bacterial growth and contamination. At the same time, it can also prevent liquid from seeping into the base 200, reducing the failure rate of the internal equipment of the base 200, lowering the maintenance and repair costs of the equipment, facilitating cleaning and maintenance, and extending the service life of the main unit 100.
[0037] As attached Figure 2 To be continued Figure 3 As shown, the base 200 is further provided with a light metering port 5, and a light radiation intensity detection head is provided inside the light metering port 5. When it is necessary to detect the light radiation illuminance of the lamp head 2, the lamp head 2 is inserted into the light metering port 5, so that the light radiation intensity detection head is opposite to the curing lamp body inside the lamp head 2. This allows the light radiation intensity detection head to measure the light intensity emitted by the lamp head 2, ensuring that the light intensity is sufficient to promote the full curing of the photosensitive resin-based composite material, while ensuring that the light curing lamp operates within a safe and effective parameter range, protecting patients and operators from unnecessary harm, and ensuring the health of patients and operators.
[0038] Furthermore, the screen 3 can display the light radiation illuminance of the lamp head 2, which allows the operator to accurately understand the light intensity emitted by the lamp head 2, ensuring that the light intensity is sufficient to promote the full curing of the photosensitive resin-based composite material. At the same time, it can also help the operator determine the uniformity of the beam, ensuring that the entire restoration is cured uniformly and improving the curing quality.
[0039] Furthermore, the base 200 is also equipped with a detection circuit board, which is electrically connected to the light radiation intensity detection head and the screen 3. The detection circuit board is used to convert the light signal from the light radiation intensity detection head into an electrical signal, and the electrical signal is then converted into a corresponding value and displayed on the screen 3. This allows the operator to understand the light intensity emitted by the lamp head 2 in a timely manner, ensuring that the light intensity is sufficient to promote the full curing of the photosensitive resin-based composite material. At the same time, it can also help the operator determine the uniformity of the beam, ensuring that the entire restoration is cured uniformly and improving the curing quality.
[0040] As attached Figure 2 To be continued Figure 3As shown, the base 200 further includes a replacement slot 6 for housing a conversion lamp head. The conversion lamp head converts light to perform other functions. It contains a color-changing component that changes the color of the light passing through it. Therefore, when changing the color of the light emitted by the dental curing lamp, the conversion lamp head can be mounted on the handle 1, and the light can be incident on the color-changing component to directly change the light color. For example, when the color-changing component is white, it is a white light conversion lamp head, converting the original blue light emitted by the lamp head into white light. Of course, other colored color-changing components can also be used to convert to other colors of light. Switching between different light colors can be achieved by disassembling and installing the conversion lamp head. Therefore, the dental curing lamp has high light color changing efficiency and low replacement cost, and the combination of light source and color-changing component can be arbitrarily matched. Multiple conversion lamp heads can be used, and the color-changing component in each conversion lamp head changes the light color differently. This allows for the rapid replacement of different conversion lamp heads, thus diversifying the emitted light color of the dental curing lamp.
[0041] As attached Figure 3 As shown, the base 200 further includes a battery 7 and a battery cavity 201 for mounting the battery 7. This saves space, making the base 200 compact and enhancing the battery 7's storage capacity. This ensures that the host 100 always has sufficient power, allowing the light curing lamp device to flexibly adapt to different work requirements.
[0042] Furthermore, the battery 7 is located below the light metering port 5 and the replacement slot 6, saving space and making the structure of the base 200 compact.
[0043] As attached Figure 1 As shown, the main unit 100 further includes a housing 8 for connecting the handle 1 and the lamp head 2, the housing 8 being made of metal. This reduces or eliminates the need for a heat dissipation structure. Since both the handle 1 and the lamp head 2 are made of metal, the housing 8 facilitates the transfer of heat from the lamp head 2 to the handle 1 for further heat dissipation, thus improving the heat dissipation effect of the main unit 100. This effectively reduces the device temperature, allowing the main unit 100 to be designed to be more compact and slim, reducing fatigue from prolonged gripping, extending the lifespan of the main unit 100, and enhancing the user experience.
[0044] Furthermore, the outer casing 8 is also provided with a heat insulation layer or heat insulation structure to provide thermal insulation, which helps to continue to conduct heat from the lamp head 2 to the handle 1 through the outer casing 8 for heat dissipation, thereby reducing heat accumulation in the lamp head 2 and improving the service life of the lamp head 2.
[0045] As attached Figure 1 As shown, the handle 1 is further provided with a switch 11 and a first indicator light 12. The first indicator light 12 and the switch 11 are arranged on the same horizontal and vertical plane. The first indicator light 12 is used to indicate the on / off state of the switch 11. The switch 11 facilitates the operator to turn the host 100 on or off. At the same time, the first indicator light 12 is provided next to the switch 11 to facilitate observation of the power-on status and charging status.
[0046] As attached Figure 1 As shown, the base 200 and the host 100 are further connected via a wireless communication module. This wireless communication module allows the base 200 and the host 100 to communicate without a physical connection, providing great convenience and flexibility and enhancing the user experience.
[0047] Furthermore, any implementation of the wireless communication module in this application can be used in conjunction with one or more types of wireless communication signals and / or systems, such as radio frequency (RF), infrared (IR), frequency-division multiplexing (FDM), orthogonal FDM (OFDM), time-division multiplexing (TDM), time-division multiple access (TDMA), extended TDMA (E-TDMA), General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), extended GPRS, and code-division multiple access (CDMA).

[0048] As attached Figure 1 As shown, the handle 1 is further provided with a tail cap 9, which is made of plastic. The plastic tail cap 9 facilitates the communication connection between the base 200 and the host 100, avoids the interference of metal materials on communication, and allows the operator to timely and accurately understand the light intensity emitted by the lamp head 2, ensuring that the light intensity reaches a sufficient level to promote the full curing of the photosensitive resin-based composite material. At the same time, it can also help the operator determine the uniformity of the beam, ensuring that the entire restoration is cured uniformly and improving the curing quality.
[0049] Furthermore, the tail cap 9 is located on the end of the handle 1 away from the outer casing 8, which can seal and block the end of the handle 1 away from the outer casing 8.
[0050] As attached Figure 1 As shown, the base 200 is further connected to the host 100 via a Bluetooth module, which is located inside the tail cover 9. Bluetooth communication allows the base 200 and the host 100 to communicate without a physical connection, providing great convenience and flexibility. Bluetooth communication has low power consumption, which helps the battery 7 to power the lamp head 2 and ensures curing quality.
[0051] As attached Figure 1 As shown, the tail cover 9 is further provided with a second indicator light 91 for displaying the Bluetooth connection status, making it convenient to observe the Bluetooth connection status.
