Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all the other embodiments obtained by the ordinary skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the protection scope of the utility model.

A kind of dental device, including controller module, oscillation circuit module, power amplifier module, voltage regulating module, impedance matching module, piezoelectric ceramic transducer, working head, current detection module, voltage detection module and phase detection module;The controller module sends PWM frequency control signal to the oscillation circuit module;The signal output end of the oscillation circuit module is connected to the power amplifier module;The controller module sends power control signal to the voltage regulating module, and the output end of the voltage regulating module is connected to the voltage input end of the power amplifier module;The output end of the power amplifier module is connected to the piezoelectric ceramic transducer via the impedance matching module, and the feedback end of the power amplifier module is connected to the controller module;The working intensity of the working head is controlled by the piezoelectric ceramic transducer output electric signal;The voltage detection module detects the voltage signal of piezoelectric ceramic transducer input port;The current detection module detects the current signal of piezoelectric ceramic transducer output port;The voltage signal, current signal are input to the phase detection module;The phase detection module outputs phase difference signal to the controller module;The working head includes connecting part 1, arc-shaped part 2, movable part 3 and working part 4;The connecting part 1 is connected with external handle;One end of the arc-shaped part 2 is fixedly connected to the connecting part 1, and the other end of the arc-shaped part 2 is movably connected to the movable part 3;The working part 4 is fixedly installed on the movable part 3 and rotates with the movable part 3.

[0022] Oscillation circuit module is the circuit of adjustable pulse width, changes output frequency by adjusting the comparison voltage of internal oscillator.Oscillation circuit module after receiving the PWM frequency control signal of controller module, it is filtered, smooth, locked, adjusted, triggered and so on after processing, output high precision, frequency adjustable oscillation pulse signal.Usually, the smaller the PWM frequency control signal, the higher the frequency search precision, but the time complexity also increases, through test verification finds that, when step frequency is set to be less than or equal to 80Hz, it can accurately search to the resonant frequency while also improving the frequency search speed.

[0023] The power amplification module comprises a half-bridge driving circuit and an inverter power amplification circuit; the output signal of the oscillation circuit module is output as an oscillation signal of 160V-380V through the half-bridge driving circuit and the inverter power amplification circuit. The half-bridge driving circuit comprises two mutually independent output control circuits, directly drives the MOSFET power tube of the inverter power amplification circuit, and the oscillation pulse signal output by the oscillation circuit module controls the turn-by-turn conduction of the MOSFET power tube of the inverter power amplification circuit, and finally the inverter power amplification circuit outputs an oscillation signal with a peak value of 160V-380V. When the piezoelectric ceramic transducer works in a resonant state, the current in the circuit loop is maximum, therefore, the frequency point corresponding to the maximum feedback current is the resonant frequency, and the feedback end of the power amplification module is connected to the controller module, so that the controller module can monitor the feedback current in real time and search and track the resonant frequency according to the loop current.

[0024] The impedance matching module is an inductive series tuning matching circuit, that is, an inductor is connected in series across the piezoelectric ceramic transducer, and the capacitive load of the piezoelectric ceramic transducer is offset by using a series equivalent inductive load. The inductive series tuning matching circuit has an impedance conversion effect, can reduce the active impedance and thus improve the active power, and also has a filtering effect. Only in the case of impedance matching, the piezoelectric ceramic transducer can start to work.

[0025] During continuous work, the increase of heat generation during the high-power period of the dental cleaning device and the change of load (hardness of dental plaque, dental plaque and dental calculus) can cause the resonant frequency to drift, causing the piezoelectric ceramic transducer to be out of tune, affecting the stability of the piezoelectric ceramic transducer, and even stopping vibration. Therefore, it is necessary to track the resonant frequency in real time and accurately. The voltage detection module is arranged to detect the voltage signal at the input end of the piezoelectric ceramic transducer, and the current detection module is arranged to detect the current signal at the output end of the piezoelectric ceramic transducer. When the resonant frequency is out of tune, the phase difference between the voltage signal and the current signal is non-zero, and the phase detector detects the non-zero phase, which is fed back to the controller module, and the controller module sends a new PWM frequency control signal to the oscillation circuit module. The new resonant frequency is locked by combining the feedback current size of the power amplification module and whether the non-zero phase is zero, so that the entire device is always in the best working state.

[0026] During the tooth cleaning process, the vibration intensity of the piezoelectric ceramic transducer is adjusted according to the hardness of the load, so as to adjust the vibration intensity of the working head, and the input voltage of the half-bridge driving circuit is changed to change the output voltage of the inverter power amplification circuit, so as to control the output voltage of the piezoelectric ceramic transducer, and further change the vibration intensity of the working head. Therefore, the utility model discloses a voltage regulating module controlled by the controller module, the voltage regulating module includes a digital potentiometer and a voltage stabilizer, the digital potentiometer receives the power control signal from the controller module, changes the resistance value according to the power control signal, and further changes the input voltage of the voltage stabilizer, and the voltage stabilizer outputs the voltage signal corresponding to the power control signal, so as to change the power supply voltage of the power amplification module, and further change the voltage loaded on the piezoelectric ceramic transducer.

[0027] The working head works under the drive of the piezoelectric ceramic transducer, and is limited by the tooth structure itself and the narrow space structure between the tooth and the lip, tongue and cheek. The working head with the linear type and fixed working part 4 cannot realize comprehensive tooth cleaning, especially the contact surfaces between the wisdom tooth and the molar tooth, between the molar tooth and the molar tooth, and between the molar tooth and the cheek. It is more difficult to clean teeth when the tooth structure is complex, so it is necessary to improve the working head. The utility model sets up the arc part 2 on the working head, and the cheek surface is expanded in the space limited area, so as to provide enough space for the working part 4 to expand the tooth cleaning work. The working part 4 can rotate with the movable part 3, so that the working part 4 can adjust the direction to complete the tooth cleaning even if the tooth structure is curved and the contact surface is deformed. Further, the surface of the working part 4 is provided with helical teeth, which can increase the efficiency of the working head cleaning teeth. The movable part 3 and the arc part 2 are detachably connected, and the movable part 3 and the working part 4 are detachably connected, which can facilitate cleaning and disinfection. The working part 4 is made of TC4 titanium alloy material, which has low hardness, small amplitude and good elasticity, and can greatly reduce the discomfort of the patient during treatment. The structure diagram of the working head is shown in Figure 2 .

[0028] The working process of the utility model is: the controller module sends the PWM frequency control signal to the oscillation circuit module, and the oscillation circuit module generates the corresponding oscillation signal according to the PWM frequency control signal; the power amplification circuit generates the corresponding voltage signal according to the power supply voltage provided by the voltage regulating module, and the voltage signal is used to power the piezoelectric ceramic transducer after impedance matching, and the piezoelectric ceramic transducer generates vibration of corresponding intensity according to the voltage signal, and drives the working head to expand the tooth cleaning work; the real-time monitoring feedback current of the power amplification module determines the resonance frequency according to the maximum feedback current; the voltage at the input end of the piezoelectric ceramic transducer and the phase difference between the output current of the piezoelectric ceramic transducer are monitored in real time, and the new resonance frequency is tracked in real time according to the change of the phase difference; when the load of the working head changes, the feedback current will also change accordingly, and the controller module adjusts the power control signal according to the change of the feedback current, so as to change the working voltage of the power amplification module provided by the voltage regulating module, and further change the vibration intensity of the working head.

[0030] Most of the technical solutions of the system type in the electronic field need the cooperation of hardware and computer programs to solve technical problems, but if the computer program only involves simple operations, comparisons and controls, the technical solution should not be considered to involve the improvement of the computer program, and the technical solution should belong to the protection object of the utility model.
