[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments described below are only some, not all, of the embodiments disclosed. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0025] The number of any elements in the accompanying drawings is for illustrative purposes only and not as a limitation, and any naming is for distinction only and has no limiting meaning.
[0026] The principles and spirit of this utility model will be explained in detail below with reference to several representative embodiments.
[0027] This utility model provides a dental chair with an automatically replaceable protective pad, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the device includes a seat body 1 and a headrest 2 mounted on the seat body 1. The headrest 2 has an embedded storage groove 21, and a feeding roller 3 and a receiving roller 4 are installed in the storage groove 21. The embedded design of the storage groove 21 not only makes the whole device more concise and beautiful in appearance, but also effectively protects the internal components and avoids interference and damage from external factors.
[0028] In this embodiment, the protective pad can be made of various forms such as disposable paper, disposable non-woven fabric, and disposable plastic, such as pure wood pulp paper, coated paper, spunlace non-woven fabric, and polyethylene (PE) film. When in use, the protective pad covers the side of the headrest 2 away from the storage groove 21.
[0029] In this embodiment, the feeding roller 3 and the receiving roller 4 are arranged side by side, which makes the transmission path of the protective pad smoother and reduces the resistance during the transmission process.
[0030] In this embodiment, a drive mechanism 5 is provided on one side of the headrest 2 for transmission connection with the feeding roller 3 and the receiving roller 4. The drive mechanism 5 includes a first gear 51 and a second gear 52 that mesh with each other. The second gear 52 includes two sets, and the feeding roller 3 and the receiving roller 4 are respectively transmissionally connected to one set of the second gear 52. In this embodiment, the first gear 51 is linked to the drive motor 511. When the drive motor 511 is started, the first gear 51 acts as the driving gear, driving the two sets of second gears 52 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the feeding roller 3 and the receiving roller 4 to work respectively.
[0031] In this embodiment, the two sets of second gears 52 are located on both sides of the first gear 51 and are symmetrically distributed about the horizontal central axis of the first gear 51, which ensures that the feeding roller 3 and the receiving roller 4 can rotate synchronously at the same speed and direction, thereby realizing the smooth replacement of the protective pad.
[0032] In this embodiment, the second gear 52 is linked to the drive shaft 521, which plays a crucial role in transmitting the power of the second gear 52 to the feeding roller 3 and the receiving roller 4. Both the feeding roller 3 and the receiving roller 4 have a first mounting groove 41 at the end facing the drive shaft 521. The drive shaft 521 is detachably inserted into the first mounting groove 41, making the installation and removal of the feeding roller 3 and the receiving roller 4 very convenient. Operators can easily remove the feeding roller 3 and the receiving roller 4 from the drive shaft 521 for protective pad replacement or equipment maintenance. During installation, simply align the drive shaft 521 with the first mounting groove 41 and insert it; the operation is simple and quick.
[0033] In this embodiment, an elastic element 411 is provided in the first mounting groove 41, and the elastic element 411 abuts against the bottom of the first mounting groove 41 and the side end face of the drive shaft 521. The presence of the elastic element 411 provides a certain elastic pressure between the drive shaft 521 and the feeding roller 3 and the receiving roller 4, making the connection between them tighter and facilitating disassembly and assembly. At the same time, when the drive shaft 521 rotates, the elastic element 411 can effectively reduce vibration and loosening during the transmission process, ensuring that power can be transmitted stably, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the feeding roller 3 and the receiving roller 4.
[0034] In this embodiment, a limiting component 6 is provided at the end of the feeding roller 3 and the receiving roller 4 away from the drive shaft 521. The limiting component 6 includes a mounting shaft 61 and a bearing 62. The bearing 62 is sleeved on the outer wall of the mounting shaft 61, so that the feeding roller 3 and the receiving roller 4 can rotate around the mounting shaft 61 as the axis.
[0035] In this embodiment, the end of the feeding roller 3 and the receiving roller 4 away from the drive shaft 521 is provided with a second mounting groove 42. The mounting shaft 61 is inserted into the second mounting groove 42 so that the feeding roller 3 and the receiving roller 4 can be rotatably mounted on the headrest 2 through the mounting shaft 61 and the bearing 62, ensuring that the feeding roller 3 and the receiving roller 4 remain stable during rotation and avoiding shaking or displacement.
[0036] To further improve the stability and convenience of installation, in this embodiment, a first magnet 421 is provided at the bottom of the second mounting groove 42, and a second magnet 611, which is magnetically attracted to the first magnet 421, is provided on the side end face of the mounting shaft 61. When the mounting shaft 61 is inserted into the second mounting groove 42, the first magnet 421 and the second magnet 611 attract each other, enabling the mounting shaft 61 to be quickly and accurately positioned and fixed in the second mounting groove 42. This magnetic attraction structure not only simplifies the installation process and reduces installation time, but also absorbs vibration to a certain extent, improving the stability of the entire device.
[0037] In this embodiment, a limiting groove 612 is provided on the outer wall of the mounting shaft 61, and an elastic limiting pin 6121 is provided in the limiting groove 612. The inner wall of the second mounting groove 42 is provided with a groove 422 that engages with the elastic limiting pin 6121. When the mounting shaft 61 is inserted into the second mounting groove 42, the elastic limiting pin 6121 will be compressed by the inner wall of the second mounting groove 42 and shrink. When the mounting shaft 61 continues to be inserted until the elastic limiting pin 6121 is in the corresponding position with the groove 422, the elastic limiting pin 6121 will pop out under its own elastic force and embed into the groove 422, thereby achieving further limiting of the mounting shaft 61. This effectively prevents the mounting shaft 61 from moving axially during rotation and ensures the stable rotation of the feeding roller 3 and the receiving roller 4.
[0038] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the groove 422 is set as an arc-shaped structure, and the top end face of the elastic limiting pin 6121 is set as a hemispherical structure that matches the groove 422. This makes the elastic limiting pin 6121 more smoothly inserted into and removed from the groove 422, reducing resistance during installation and disassembly. At the same time, the arc-shaped and hemispherical structures can disperse stress, reduce wear on components, and improve the service life of the equipment.
[0039] In this embodiment, a fixing frame 7 is provided inside the receiving groove 21, and a bearing 62 is mounted on the fixing frame 7. The fixing frame 7 includes two sets, which are respectively fixed to the beginning and end ends of the feeding roller 3 and the receiving roller 4. In this embodiment, the main function of the fixing frame 7 is to support and fix the feeding roller 3 and the receiving roller 4, ensuring their stability during rotation. By mounting the bearing 62 on the fixing frame 7, the feeding roller 3 and the receiving roller 4 can rotate smoothly via the bearing 62, ensuring the normal operation of the entire protective pad replacement device.
[0040] This invention provides a dental chair with an automatically replaceable protective pad. When the protective pad needs to be replaced, a drive motor 511 connected to a first gear 51 is activated. The drive motor 511 drives the first gear 51 to rotate, and the first gear 51, through gear meshing, drives two sets of second gears 52 to rotate synchronously. Since the second gears 52 are respectively connected to the feed roller 3 and the take-up roller 4, the feed roller 3 and the take-up roller 4 will start rotating synchronously. When the feed roller 3 rotates, the unused protective pad wrapped around it is gradually pulled out; when the take-up roller 4 rotates, the used protective pad is wound onto the take-up roller 4. With the continuous rotation of the feed roller 3 and the take-up roller 4, the protective pad completes the automatic replacement process, providing a clean and hygienic environment for the next patient.
