Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of mouth lamp, especially mouth lamp remote controller and mouth lamp assembly. BACKGROUND

[0002] During the treatment of oral diseases, the angle of the patient's mouth is limited, so that the medical staff cannot treat the patient due to insufficient light. The mouth lamp provides sufficient light source for the medical staff during treatment. However, due to the cosmetic requirements of teeth during oral surgery, the surgery becomes complex. Many delicate oral surgeries require image magnification equipment to record. The existing mouth lamp is mainly controlled by buttons, such as pressing the buttons on the surface of the mouth lamp or using the buttons on the remote control. However, due to the continuity of the oral surgery steps, the surgery process is time-consuming. If it is necessary to temporarily adjust a parameter of the mouth lamp, the use of buttons will delay the surgery process. For example, when the difference between the current parameter and the target parameter is large, the medical staff needs to press the button multiple times to make the current parameter close to the target parameter, and then press other buttons to fine-tune the current parameter to make the current parameter finally reach the target parameter. This process takes a lot of time. At the same time, when the medical staff's line of sight switches from the mouth to the button, they cannot immediately realize the location of the parameter adjustment key. The traditional remote control cannot be directly positioned when it is picked up, which easily distracts the medical staff's attention. Therefore, the existing mouth lamp remote controller has the problem of poor control efficiency. SUMMARY

[0003] The utility model aims at providing a mouth lamp remote controller, which is applied to a mouth lamp. A rotary control area is provided with a knob at the corner position of the remote control body.

[0034] like Figures 1-5 A remote control for an oral cavity light, which is connected to the oral cavity light, includes: a remote control body 1 and a knob 2;

[0035] The remote control body 1 has a rotation control area 11 at the corner 10 formed by two adjacent remote control outer surfaces 16 approaching each other;

[0036] The knob 2 is rotatably and adjustablely mounted on the rotation control area 11 for adjusting the parameters of the oral lamp.

[0037] This solution provides a remote control for an oral lamp. A knob 2 is set in the rotation control area 11 at the corner 10 of the remote control body 1. The oral lamp can be controlled by rotating the knob 2, which realizes efficient and precise control of the oral lamp. This solves the problem of frequent pressing and poor control efficiency caused by the existing oral lamps mainly using button 3 for control.

[0038] Specifically, the remote control body 1 is the main part of the remote control, which can be replaced by a known remote control. This solution adds a knob 2 to a known remote control. Generally, the remote control body 1 has multiple remote control outer surfaces 16 facing different directions, and an angle 10 is formed between two adjacent remote control outer surfaces 16. A rotation control area 11 is provided in the angle 10 formed by a pair of adjacent remote control outer surfaces 16. The knob 2 is installed in the rotation control area 11. The knob 2 is electrically connected to the integrated circuit board. According to common knowledge, the knob 2 changes the connection state of internal contacts through rotation, thereby controlling the on / off state of the circuit in the integrated circuit board or selecting different functional paths. This solution's oral lamp remote control is applied to the oral lamp, communicating with it to adjust its parameters, such as brightness, image magnification ratio, and image angle. Because this solution uses the knob 2 to adjust the oral lamp's parameters, the parameters can be quickly adjusted, with the parameters adjusted in real time during rotation until the user finds the parameters suitable. Compared to traditional button adjustments, where parameters change only with each button click, and the difference between the current and target parameters is significant, requiring multiple button presses to bring the current parameter closer to the target, followed by further button presses for fine-tuning, this time-consuming and inefficient process is detrimental to oral surgery or testing. This solution, however, allows for quick parameter adjustment of the oral lamp simply by rotating knob 2, significantly reducing adjustment time. Furthermore, knob 2 is positioned at a corner 10 of the remote control unit 1, providing visual and tactile positioning. Traditional remote controls are often symmetrical, making it difficult to pinpoint their location when lifted, thus obscuring the position of the target function button 3. This solution, by positioning knob 2 at a corner 10 of the remote control unit 1 (e.g., the upper left or upper right corner), allows for precise location of the remote control. Figure 1 The knob 2 is located at the lower left or lower right corner. Users can lift the remote control unit 1 based on the position of the knob 2 and position the remote control unit 1 by adjusting its orientation. Users can quickly press the button 3 on the remote control unit 1 using muscle memory to quickly select the function of the oral cavity light. Simultaneously, the knob 2 is located at the corner 10 of the remote control unit 1, making it easy to rotate using the thumb, index finger, or little finger.

[0039] In one embodiment, the upper surface of the remote control body 1 is a planar structure, and the knob 2 and other buttons 3 are mounted on the same horizontal plane as the remote control body 1.

[0040] Alternatively, the rotation control area 11 can be a groove with a downward indentation on the upper surface of the remote control body 1.

[0041] The upper surface of the remote control body 1 is partially concave downwards to form a rotation control area 11, which is located between the upper and lower surfaces. This makes the position of the knob 2 stand out on the upper surface of the remote control body 1, making it easier to locate the knob 2 visually and tactilely. At the same time, the knob 2 is set in the groove-shaped rotation control area 11, which can reduce the distance difference between the surface of the knob 2 and the upper surface of the remote control body 1, making it easier for the same finger to reach both the knob 2 and the button 3 on the upper surface of the remote control body 1 at the same time, thus achieving the effect of one-handed operation.

[0042] Alternatively, the rotation control area 11 may have a hollowed-out opening 12 at the edge of the corner 10; a portion of the outer side of the knob 2 may extend out of the rotation control area 11 through the hollowed-out opening 12.

[0043] The rotation control area 11 forms a hollow opening 12 at the position where two adjacent remote control outer surfaces 16 of the remote control body 1 are close together. That is, the hollow opening 12 is located at the edge of the corner 10, so the knob 2 can be exposed at the corner 10. The outer surface of the knob 2 extends out of the hollow opening 12, and the user can directly turn the knob 2 on the remote control outer surface 16 of the remote control body 1 to adjust the parameters of the oral lamp with one hand.

[0044] Alternatively, the rotation control area 11 may be provided with a finger receiving area 13 between the hollow opening 12 and the inner knob 2, and the rotation control area 11 may be separated from the inner wall of the hollow opening 12 and the outer side of the knob 2 by the finger receiving area 13.

[0045] This design forms a finger-accommodating area 13 near the hollow opening 12 of the knob 2. The finger-accommodating area 13 effectively separates the rotation control area 11 between the inner wall of the hollow opening 12 and the outer surface of the knob 2. The middle of the user's finger can be positioned in the finger-accommodating area 13, and the fingertip can be positioned on the knob. The user can move back and forth along the outer surface 16 of the remote control body 1 to rotate the knob 2. For example... Figure 1 When the knob 2 is located in the upper right corner of the remote control body 1, the right thumb can be placed in the finger receiving area 13 in the upper right corner to operate the knob 2 with one hand.

[0046] Alternatively, the rotation control area 11 may be provided with an arc structure 14 on the inner wall of the hollow opening 12.

[0047] The inner wall of the rotation control area 11 at the hollow opening 12 is mainly an arc structure 14, which transitions from the outer side 16 of the remote control body 1 to the inner wall of the rotation control area 11. The arc structure 14 can replace the sharp corner formed by the transition area between the inside and outside of the rotation control area 11, thereby avoiding injury when the finger passes through the sharp corner. The arc structure 14 does not cause injury to the back and forth movement of the finger; the arc structure 14 can also provide finger positioning in terms of touch.

[0048] Alternatively, the remote control body 1 may be provided with a button 3 in an area outside the rotation control area 11.

[0049] This solution allows you to adjust the parameters of the oral lamp using knob 2, and also select the function of the oral lamp using button 3. Button 3 and knob 2 work together, allowing you to quickly select a function using button 3 and then adjust the corresponding function's parameters using knob 2, thus enabling precise control of the oral lamp and improving its operating efficiency.

[0050] Alternatively, the upper surface of the remote control body 1 may be provided with an indicator arrow 15 on the outer periphery of the rotation control area 11; the outer surface of the knob 2 may be provided with an indicator structure.

[0051] The indicator arrow 15 is used to guide the user to adjust the knob 2. For example, clockwise adjustment indicates the direction of parameter increase, and counterclockwise adjustment indicates the direction of parameter decrease. The outer side of the knob 2 is provided with an indicator structure, which can more clearly show the current rotation direction of the knob 2. One end of the indicator arrow 15 can be provided with a structure indicating "enlargement", such as "+"; the other end of the indicator arrow 15 can be provided with a structure indicating "decrease", such as "-".

[0052] The indicator arrow 15 can be a planar pattern layer, a protruding structure, or a concave groove structure, as long as it indicates an increase or decrease in parameters. Similarly, the indicator structure can be a planar pattern layer, a protruding structure, or a concave groove structure.

[0053] Alternatively, the knob 2 may include: a rotating shaft 21, a knob housing 22, and a limiting pin 23;

[0054] The button housing 22 has a shaft groove 221 in the middle, one end of the rotating shaft 21 is disposed in the shaft groove 221, and the other end of the rotating shaft is rotatably mounted in the rotation control area 11; the button housing 22 has a pin groove 222; the opening of the pin groove 222 at one horizontal end communicates with the shaft groove 221; the opening of the pin groove 222 at the other horizontal end is located on the outer side of the button housing 22; the limiting pin 23 is detachably limited in the pin groove 222; one end of the limiting pin 23 extends to the shaft groove 221 and abuts against the rotating shaft 21, so that the rotating shaft 21 is limited in the shaft groove 221;

[0055] The slot opening of the pin groove 222 or the limiting pin 23 serves as the indicating structure.

[0056] The knob 2 in this design is easy to disassemble. Its limiting pin 23 is detachably limited in the pin groove 222 of the knob housing 22 by a known method, such as threaded limiting, screw limiting, magnetic limiting, snap-fit ​​limiting, etc. After the limiting pin 23 is limited in the pin groove 222, the limiting pin 23 is fixed in the position of the pin groove 222. The rotating shaft 21 is located in the shaft groove 221 in the middle of the knob housing 22. One end of the limiting pin 23 inside can abut against the rotating shaft 21, thereby pressing the rotating shaft 21 into the shaft groove 221, so that the rotating shaft 21 is connected to the knob housing 22 as a whole. Based on the structure of the limiting pin 23, this design cleverly uses the limiting pin 23 or the groove 222 where it is located as an indicator structure, which can indicate the rotation direction of the knob 2.

[0057] An oral lamp assembly includes: an oral lamp 02 and the aforementioned oral lamp remote control 01; the oral lamp is communicatively connected to the oral lamp remote control.

[0058] Alternatively, the oral lamp may be equipped with a dental recording device 4, and the knob 2 may be used to adjust the parameters of the dental recording device 4.

[0059] The dental recording device 4 includes at least one of the following: image ratio parameter module 41, image angle parameter module 42, image brightness parameter module 43, focus position parameter module 44, exposure value parameter module 45, white balance parameter module 46, and volume parameter module 47.

[0060] The knob 2 in this solution can adjust the value of at least one of the following parameters as needed: image ratio parameter module 41, image angle parameter module 42, image brightness parameter module 43, focus position parameter module 44, exposure value parameter module 45, white balance parameter module 46, and volume parameter module 47. Specifically, it can be used in conjunction with buttons to select the corresponding function. Taking the image ratio parameter module 41 as an example, the image ratio parameter module 41 is mainly used for recording or images of the oral cavity by the oral lamp, and the knob 2 can be used to quickly adjust the image ratio, making a local area of ​​the oral cavity larger or smaller overall. Similarly, the image angle parameter module 42 mainly adjusts the angle of the recording or image; the image brightness parameter module 43 mainly adjusts the brightness; the focus position parameter module 44 mainly adjusts the focus position, and the knob can adjust the distance between near and far focus; the exposure value parameter module 45 mainly adjusts the exposure value; the white balance parameter module 46 mainly adjusts the white balance; and the volume parameter module 47 mainly adjusts the volume of the recording.

[0061] In addition, the communication connection methods involved in this solution refer to the communication between connected devices through signal transmission and interaction, which can be divided into wired connection and wireless connection; wired connection is such as conventional data cable connection; wireless connection is such as conventional WiFi, Bluetooth, infrared, NFC, etc.
