[0044] Please refer to Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a light curing instrument with a series of ingeniously designed light guide lenses. The instrument is characterized by its structural composition, which specifically includes a main unit 1, a lamp head 2, a connecting sleeve 3, and a light guide lens 4.

[0045] One end of the lamp head 2 serves as the connection end 5, achieving a stable connection with the host 1; while the other end of the lamp head 2 serves as the light-emitting end 6, used to emit light within a specific wavelength range to cure the corresponding material.

[0046] Furthermore, the connecting sleeve 3 is cleverly designed and wrapped around the outside of the light-emitting end 6 of the lamp head 2, playing a key role in fixing and guiding.

[0047] One end of the light guide lens 4 is located inside the connecting sleeve 3, while the other end extends outward relative to the connecting sleeve 3, ensuring effective light transmission. More importantly, the light guide lens 4 is precisely positioned on the light emission path of the lamp head 2, thereby guaranteeing accurate light guidance and efficient utilization.

[0048] It is worth noting that this embodiment introduces an innovative design called the connecting sleeve 3, which is cleverly positioned to wrap around the light-emitting end 6 of the lamp head 2. Simultaneously, the light guide lens 4 is connected by being inserted into the connecting sleeve 3. This series of designs greatly improves the ease of installation and removal of the light guide lens 4. In practical applications, different types of light guide lenses 4 can be quickly and easily replaced according to specific treatment needs. This not only ensures the efficiency and quality stability of the treatment process but also significantly optimizes the overall user experience, improving operational flexibility and comfort.

[0049] In one embodiment of this invention, the connection between the connecting end 5 of the lamp head 2 and the main unit 1 is designed to be detachable. This design gives the light curing device greater flexibility and adaptability, allowing the lamp head 2 to be easily detached from or reinstalled from the main unit 1 according to actual treatment needs or maintenance requirements. This detachable connection mechanism not only simplifies the equipment maintenance and upgrade process but also provides users with the possibility of freely selecting and replacing different specifications or types of lamp heads 2 in various treatment scenarios, thereby further improving treatment efficiency and ease of operation.

[0050] In one specific implementation of this embodiment, the lamp head 2 is ingeniously designed, with its light-emitting end 6 specially constructed to include a receiving cavity and a light-emitting port connected to this receiving cavity. A curing light source is installed within this carefully designed receiving cavity, specifically designed to emit curing light. The light-emitting port is cleverly located on the light emission path of the curing light source, ensuring that the curing light can be projected smoothly and efficiently through the light-emitting port, thereby achieving the desired curing effect.

[0051] This design not only optimizes the light projection path, allowing the light to be more concentrated and accurately irradiate the target area, but also improves the overall performance and curing efficiency of lamp head 2. At the same time, the presence of the accommodating cavity provides a stable and reliable working environment for the curing light source, helping to extend its lifespan and maintain its performance stability.

[0052] In summary, this design satisfies the requirements of photocuring therapy for light quality and projection accuracy, while also ensuring the reliability and durability of the equipment.

[0053] In one embodiment of this invention, the material selection for the connecting sleeve 3 is quite sophisticated, employing black silicone. This choice reflects multiple considerations: First, black silicone possesses excellent light-shielding properties, effectively blocking external light from interfering with the light transmission within the light guide lens 4, ensuring that the curing light can be transmitted purely and efficiently to the target area, thereby improving the curing effect and treatment accuracy. Second, silicone itself has good flexibility and elasticity, allowing the connecting sleeve 3 to fit tightly against the outer periphery of the light-emitting end 6 of the lamp head 2, ensuring both connection stability and facilitating quick assembly and disassembly of the light guide lens 4, enhancing operational convenience and flexibility. Furthermore, silicone material exhibits excellent aging resistance, maintaining stable physical and chemical properties during long-term use, extending the service life of the connecting sleeve 3 and reducing equipment maintenance costs.

[0054] In summary, the connecting sleeve 3 made of black silicone not only improves the overall performance of the light curing instrument, but also brings users a more efficient and convenient user experience.

[0055] Please refer to this again. Figure 1-3 and in conjunction with references Figure 4 In one specific embodiment presented in this example, the connecting sleeve 3 is ingeniously designed, with an insertion hole 7 cleverly provided on its surface. The presence of this insertion hole 7 provides a precise insertion position for the optical guide lens 4, ensuring that the optical guide lens 4 can be accurately and reliably combined with the connecting sleeve 3.

[0056] In actual operation, one end of the light guide lens 4 is carefully inserted into the insertion hole 7 of the connecting sleeve 3. This insertion process not only stabilizes the position of the light guide lens 4, but also ensures that a tight and efficient light transmission channel can be formed between the light guide lens 4 and the light emission port of the lamp head 2. This design not only optimizes the light transmission path, allowing the curing light to be projected more concentratedly and accurately onto the target area, but also significantly improves the ease of operation and flexibility of use of the light curing device.

[0057] It is worth mentioning that the size and shape of the insertion hole 7 have been precisely calculated and designed to ensure a perfect fit with the light guide lens 4. This precise fit not only improves the overall performance of the device but also brings users a smoother and more efficient user experience.

[0058] In summary, through the innovative design of opening the insertion hole 7, the connecting sleeve 3 of this embodiment successfully realizes the rapid and stable installation of the light guide lens 4, providing a strong guarantee for the efficient operation of the light curing instrument.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 5-8In one embodiment of this invention, the design of the light guide lens 4 exhibits a high degree of diversity and flexibility. To meet the needs of different treatment scenarios, the light guide lens 4 is cleverly designed in various types: such as... Figure 5 As shown, the light guide lens 4 is specifically designed for point curing, and its shape and size are precisely designed to be suitable for curing treatment in small areas or specific locations; Figure 6 This demonstrates a light guide lens 4 for root canal guidance, whose unique structure allows light to be accurately guided into the root canal for precise curing. Figure 7 and Figure 8 The exhibition showcases two different shapes of light guide lenses 4 for interproximal curing, including cylindrical and conical shapes, to meet the treatment needs of different interproximal surfaces of teeth.

[0060] Although these light guide lenses 4 differ in shape and purpose, they share a common design feature: a cleverly designed locking groove 8 at one end of the insertion hole 7 in the connecting sleeve 3. This design not only ensures that the light guide lens 4 is securely installed in the connecting sleeve 3, preventing loosening or detachment during treatment, but also improves the ease of replacement. Users simply insert the light guide lens 4 into the insertion hole 7, and the locking groove 8 engages with the locking structure inside the connecting sleeve 3 for quick and stable installation. This design not only improves the operating efficiency of the light curing device but also provides users with a smoother and more convenient user experience.

[0061] In summary, this embodiment, by designing various types of light guide lenses 4 and setting a locking groove 8 at their insertion end, successfully achieves rapid and stable installation and replacement of the light guide lenses 4, providing strong support for the efficient operation of the photocuring device and diverse treatment needs.

[0062] Please refer to this again. Figure 3-4 In one embodiment of this invention, the design of the connecting sleeve 3 incorporates more human-centered considerations. A notch 9 is cleverly provided on the surface of the connecting sleeve 3. The ingenuity of this design lies in the fact that when the connecting sleeve 3 is wrapped around the light-emitting end 6 of the lamp head 2, the notch 9 can precisely avoid the light-emitting end 6 of the lamp head 2, ensuring that the two do not interfere with each other.

[0063] The presence of this notch 9 not only improves the assembly precision and stability between the connecting sleeve 3 and the lamp holder 2, but also takes into account the structural characteristics of the light-emitting end 6 of the lamp holder 2, ensuring that the connecting sleeve 3 will not cause any damage to the lamp holder 2 during installation, thereby extending the service life of the equipment.

[0064] It is worth mentioning that the shape and size of the notch 9 have been precisely calculated and designed to ensure a perfect fit with the light-emitting end 6 of the lamp head 2. This precise fit not only improves the overall performance of the device but also provides users with a smoother and more efficient user experience.

[0065] In one embodiment of this invention, the design of the connection end 5 between the main unit 1 and the lamp holder 2 takes into account the importance of sealing. A sealing ring is specifically provided to ensure a tight connection and to prevent external impurities or moisture from entering the device.

[0066] The role of this sealing ring cannot be ignored. It acts as a solid barrier, effectively blocking potential threats from the external environment to the internal structure of the equipment. By tightly fitting between the connection end 5 of the main unit 1 and the lamp holder 2, the sealing ring not only improves the overall sealing performance of the equipment but also enhances its durability and stability.

[0067] Furthermore, the use of sealing rings takes into account the adaptability of the equipment to different working environments. Whether in dry or humid environments, the sealing rings maintain their excellent sealing performance, ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the equipment.

[0068] Although this application uses terms such as host and lamp holder frequently, the possibility of using other terms is not excluded. These terms are used merely for the convenience of describing and explaining the essence of this utility model; interpreting them as any additional limitation would contradict the spirit of this utility model.

[0069] This utility model provides a light curing device that features a connecting sleeve designed to cover the light-emitting end of the lamp head. A light guide lens is inserted into the connecting sleeve, facilitating the installation and removal of the light guide lens. This allows for the quick replacement of different types of light guide lenses according to actual needs during use, ensuring treatment efficiency and quality and improving the user experience.

[0070] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the text and drawings of this application, this should not limit the scope of patent protection of this application. Any technical solutions that are based on the essential concept of this application and utilize the content described in the text and drawings of this application, resulting in equivalent structural or procedural substitutions or modifications, as well as the direct or indirect application of the technical solutions of the above embodiments to other related technical fields, are all included within the scope of patent protection of this application.
