Detailed Implementation

[0017] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0018] Please see Figures 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a multifunctional root canal file counter, including a support box 9 and fixed magnet rings 11. Metal bearings 8 are embedded at both the front and rear ends of the support box 9. Connecting shafts 7 are installed inside each of the two metal bearings 8. A swing rod 2 is longitudinally welded to the lower outer side of each of the two connecting shafts 7. A cover 1 is horizontally welded between the two swing rods 2. Multiple fixed bearings 10 are embedded in the upper end of the support box 9. Multiple fixed magnet rings 11 are glued to the upper end of the support box 9 with epoxy resin, and the multiple fixed magnet rings 11 are horizontally sleeved outside the multiple fixed bearings 10. Root canal file seats 13 are glued to the inside of each of the multiple fixed bearings 10. Each root canal file holder 13 has a gauze 14 fitted onto its upper opening via a rubber band 15, and a root canal file 16 is inserted into each of the gauze 14. An extension rod 17 is attached to the left front end of each root canal file holder 13, and a conical magnet 18 is attached to the lower end of each extension rod 17. A plastic housing 19 is glued to the upper front end of each fixing magnet ring 11. A touch switch 20 is installed on the left end of each plastic housing 19, and an illumination lamp 21 is installed on the front end of each plastic housing 19. This design solves the problem that traditional methods usually lack the ability to count the number of times a single instrument is used, and are not convenient for operators to quickly retrieve and store instruments during actual operation.

[0019] As the first embodiment of this utility model: the support box 9 has a hollowed-out groove inside, which reduces the overall weight of the support box 9. A first embedded magnet block 3 and a second embedded magnet block 5 are respectively embedded at the left and right ends of the two swing rods 2. First fixed magnet blocks 4 are glued to the lower left side of the front and rear ends of the support box 9 with epoxy resin, and second fixed magnet blocks 6 are glued to the upper left side of the front and rear ends of the support box 9 with epoxy resin. The two first embedded magnet blocks 3 are attracted to the two first fixed magnet blocks 4 respectively. The addition of the two first embedded magnet blocks 3 attracting the two first fixed magnet blocks 4 prevents the two swing rods 2 from swinging on their own, improving the stability of the cover 1 support. The upper ends of multiple fixed magnet rings 11 are painted with colored numbers 12, and the lower ends of multiple conical magnet blocks 18 point to multiple colored numbers 12 respectively. This facilitates counting by dental personnel. Each of the multiple plastic housings 19 contains a button battery and circuitry, and multiple illumination lamps 21 and multiple touch switches 20 are connected to each circuitry via soldering. By adding multiple plastic housings 19 containing button batteries and circuitry, and multiple illumination lamps 21 and multiple touch switches 20 being connected to each circuitry via soldering, the illumination lamps 21 can be activated when a touch switch 20 is touched, thereby alerting dental personnel.

[0020] As a second embodiment of this utility model: When cleaning the root canal file 16, gauze 14 is inserted so that it is located inside the root canal file seat 13. During this process, debris on the surface of the root canal file 16 is intercepted by the gauze 14. Then, the root canal file seat 13 is slightly twisted, and the root canal file seat 13 rotates within the fixed bearing 10. This causes the extension rod 17 and the conical magnet block 18 to rotate, so that the conical magnet block 18 points to another colored number 12 (Note: the colored number 12 is 1, 2, 3, ..., 19 and 20. The conical magnet block 18 is attracted to the upper end of the fixed magnet ring 11, so it will not easily loosen or rotate). Once it points to the colored number 12, the rotation is complete. When the color number 12 is 20, the right end of the extension rod 17 will contact the touch switch 20, which will activate the illumination lamp 21 and thus remind the dental treatment personnel. After use, lift the support box 9 and swing the cover 1 counterclockwise to rotate it 180 degrees so that the cover 1 blocks the root canal file seats 13, which can act as a handle for easy lifting and transfer. During this process, the two connecting shafts 7 rotate in the two metal bearings 8, causing the two swing rods 2 to swing accordingly. The two first embedded magnet blocks 3 separate from the two first fixed magnet blocks 4 respectively, and the two second fixed magnet blocks 6 are attracted to the two second embedded magnet blocks 5 respectively.
