Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a tool box for dental examination. Background Technology
[0002] Teeth, as vital chewing organs, not only function to grind food and aid in pronunciation, but are also an important component of facial aesthetics. The health of teeth directly impacts an individual's nutrient intake, speech clarity, social confidence, and even overall health. Common dental problems, such as cavities, periodontal disease, and tooth defects, if not detected and treated promptly, can lead to serious consequences such as pain, infection, and even tooth loss. Therefore, regular and effective dental checkups, enabling early detection and intervention of oral problems, are crucial for maintaining oral and overall health.
[0003] Currently, dentists and related professionals generally rely on a basic set of hand tools when conducting oral examinations. This set typically includes a dental mirror, dental probes, and dental tweezers. These tools work together to allow the examiner to visually assess the integrity of the tooth surfaces, the health of the gum tissue, and the overall hygiene of the oral cavity.
[0004] However, the current methods of storing and using these dental examination tools have significant flaws. They are typically simply stored together in a toolbox or tray. The biggest drawback of this centralized storage method is the difficulty in thorough cleaning: after use, if each tool is not thoroughly and properly cleaned and disinfected, or if the operator, due to time constraints or negligence, does not complete the cleaning steps before placing the tools directly back in the box, saliva, blood, tissue debris, or microorganisms can easily remain on the tool surface. When multiple contaminated tools are stored together, cross-contamination can occur. More seriously, these insufficiently cleaned contaminants can breed and multiply in the enclosed storage space. When the tools are taken out for use the next time, the pathogens attached to them will directly come into contact with the patient's mouth, posing a serious risk of cross-infection and violating basic medical safety principles. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the drawbacks of cross-contamination caused by inadequate cleaning, this invention provides a tool box for dental examinations, aiming to solve the aforementioned shortcomings.
[0006] A dental examination toolbox includes a toolbox with a hinge connected to its rear side. A cover is rotatably connected to the toolbox via the hinge. A controller with a charging port is mounted on the cover. A water tank with several ultraviolet germicidal lamps is connected inside the cover. A water reservoir is installed at the rear bottom of the toolbox, and a collection box is installed at the front bottom of the toolbox. A placement rack is connected to the top inside the toolbox, and a sloping plate is connected inside the toolbox. The sloping plate is located at the bottom of the placement rack, and the lower end of the sloping surface of the sloping plate is located at the top of the opening of the collection box. A disinfection and sterilization cleaning assembly is provided on the toolbox.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the cleaning component includes a water supply pipe, a plurality of spray heads are installed at the bottom of the water box, the water tank is provided with a water inlet, one end of the water supply pipe passes through the water tank and is equipped with a water pump, the water pump is wired to the controller, and the other end of the water supply pipe is connected to a telescopic pipe, the other end of the telescopic pipe is connected to the water box.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, electric slide rails are installed on the left and right sides inside the toolbox, and a scraper is slidably connected to the inclined plate, with both ends of the scraper slidably connected inside the electric slide rails.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, both the cover plate and the front end of the collection box are connected to an operation panel.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, a liquid level sensor is installed inside the water tank.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a guide plate is connected to the bottom of the water tank, and the water pump is located at the lower position of the guide plate.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the charging port is provided with a sealing gasket.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. The water pump draws disinfectant from the water tank and delivers it to the water box through the water pipe and telescopic pipe. Multiple spray nozzles spray downwards to provide high-pressure and even rinsing of the tools on the rack, replacing manual cleaning and ensuring that contaminants on the tool surface are thoroughly removed after each use.
[0015] 2. The ultraviolet light of the ultraviolet germicidal lamp kills microorganisms, blocking the possibility of bacteria and viruses spreading between tools.

Detailed Implementation
[0022] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the present invention.
[0023] Example: A toolbox for dental examination, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the toolbox includes a toolbox 1, a cover plate 2, a controller 201, a hinge 3, a water tank 4, an ultraviolet germicidal lamp 6, a placement rack 7, a ramp 701, a water tank 8, and a collection box 15. The toolbox 1 is connected to the rear side by the hinge 3, and the rear side of the toolbox 1 is rotatably connected to the cover plate 2 via the hinge 3. The controller 201 is installed on the cover plate 2, and the controller 201 is provided with a charging port 202. The water tank 4 is connected to the side of the cover plate 2 facing the inside of the toolbox 1, and several ultraviolet germicidal lamps 6 are installed on the water tank 4. The water tank 8 is installed at the rear bottom of the toolbox 1, and the collection box 15 is installed at the front bottom of the toolbox 1. The placement rack 7 is connected to the top inside the toolbox 1, and the ramp 701 is connected inside the toolbox 1. The ramp 701 is located at the bottom of the placement rack 7, and the lower end of the ramp 701 is located at the top of the opening of the collection box 15. The toolbox 1 is provided with a disinfection and sterilization cleaning component. The design of the ramp 701 ensures that the waste liquid after rinsing can flow into the collection box 15 automatically and smoothly. The controller 201 is located on the cover plate 2, making it convenient for users to operate the entire disinfection process. This design highly integrates the functions of inspection tool storage, automatic rinsing, ultraviolet disinfection, and waste liquid collection into one unit.
[0024] like Figures 2-5 As shown, the cleaning assembly includes a spray head 5, a water supply pipe 9, a telescopic pipe 10, and a water pump 11. Several spray heads 5 are installed at the bottom of the water tank 4. The design of multiple spray heads 5 ensures that the disinfectant can be sprayed evenly. The water tank 8 is provided with a water inlet 12. One end of the water supply pipe 9 passes through the water tank 8 and is equipped with a water pump 11. The water pump 11 is electrically connected to the controller 201. The other end of the water supply pipe 9 is connected to the telescopic pipe 10. The other end of the telescopic pipe 10 is connected to the water tank 4. The water pump 11 draws disinfectant from the water tank 8 and pumps it into the water tank 4 through the water supply pipe 9 and the telescopic pipe 10. After that, multiple spray heads 5 spray out to rinse the tools on the rack 7 below, providing automated high-pressure rinsing and effectively removing visible and invisible residues such as saliva, blood, and debris attached to the surface of the tools.
[0025] like Figure 4 As shown, it also includes an electric slide rail 13 and a scraper 14. The electric slide rail 13 is installed on the left and right sides of the tool box 1. The scraper 14 is slidably connected to the inclined plate 701. Both ends of the scraper 14 are slidably connected to the electric slide rail 13. After rinsing and draining, the scraper 14 can scrape off the residual disinfectant droplets and possible deposited tiny foreign matter debris on the inclined plate 701, keeping the inclined plate 701 clean and preventing secondary pollution or bacterial growth.
[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes an operation panel 16. The front end of the cover plate 2 and the collection box 15 are both connected to the operation panel 16. The operation panel 16 serves as a leverage point, making it easy for medical staff to open the cover plate 2 or pull out the collection box 15 for operation.
[0027] like Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a liquid level sensor 17. The liquid level sensor 17 is installed in the water tank 8 to monitor the amount of disinfectant in the water tank 8 in real time and prompt the user to replenish the disinfectant through the water inlet 12 in time to avoid cleaning interruption or poor effect due to insufficient disinfectant during the cleaning process.
[0028] like Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a baffle plate 18. The bottom of the water tank 8 is connected to the baffle plate 18, and the water pump 11 is located at the low position of the baffle plate 18 to ensure that the disinfectant in the water tank 8 can be effectively collected near the suction port of the water pump 11. Especially when the liquid level is low, it can prevent the water pump 11 from being sucked up, maximize the use of disinfectant, and reduce waste.
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a sealing gasket 19. The charging port 202 is provided with a sealing gasket 19, which effectively prevents dust, moisture or liquid from entering the charging port 202, improving the durability and safety of the device in a humid medical environment.
[0030] When medical staff use tools to examine the oral cavity and teeth, most of the tools need to come into contact with the mouth, leaving residue of the patient's saliva on them. Therefore, they are cleaned promptly after use. However, since saliva is transparent, medical staff may have doubts about whether tools with clean surfaces are safe to use. To address this, the tools are now placed directly into the tool box 1 for self-cleaning and disinfection. During breaks in daily use, the sealing gasket 19 is removed, and the charging cable is connected to the charging port 202 to charge the controller 201. The controller 201 can display the battery level. After charging is complete, the charging cable is unplugged, and the sealing gasket 19 is reinserted to ensure the sealing of the charging port 202, preventing dust and water damage.
[0031] After medical staff open the cover 2 via the control panel 16, they place the tools on the placement rack 7. The placement rack 7 consists of several horizontal stainless steel rods, and the telescopic tube 10 can extend and retract according to the rotation angle of the cover 2 to ensure a stable connection between the water supply pipe 9 and the water box 4. Then, the disinfection function is activated via the controller 201. The water pump 11 draws disinfectant from the water tank 8 and delivers it into the water box 4 through the water supply pipe 9 and the telescopic tube 10. The disinfectant is then sprayed evenly onto the tools through different spray nozzles 5. The disinfectant washes away any residual foreign objects on the tools while rinsing them. The foreign objects follow the disinfectant through the placement rack 7 and flow along the inclined plate 701 into the collection box 15. The guide plate 18 guides the liquid in the water tank 8 to a lower position. During the accumulation and consumption of disinfectant, the level sensor 17 constantly monitors the amount of disinfectant in the water tank 8. Medical staff read the disinfectant level through the controller 201 and replenish it in time through the inlet 12. After rinsing for a period of time, the water pump 11 is turned off and the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 6 is turned on. The ultraviolet germicidal lamp 6 sterilizes the tools while helping them dry quickly. At this time, the electric slide rail 13 is activated, which drives the scraper 14 to move on the inclined plate 701, thereby scraping off the residual disinfectant or foreign matter on the surface of the inclined plate 701. Finally, the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 6 and the electric slide rail 13 are turned off, and the collection box 15 is pulled through the control panel 16 to pour out the disinfectant collected in the collection box 15.
[0032] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
