Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of light curing lamp accessories, specifically an auxiliary component used in dental curing lamps. Background Technology

[0002] The UV curing lamp consists of a handle, charging base, light shield, isolation sleeve, test block, light lens, power plug, and power adapter. UV curing lamps are primarily used in the dental field to cure dental restorative materials, composite materials, and dental adhesives containing camphorquinone as a photoinitiator.

[0003] Currently, when using a light-curing lamp, after filling a patient's teeth with filling material and adjusting the shape, it is necessary to use a light-curing lamp to heat and irradiate the filling material to accelerate its curing. However, in daily use, the light from the light-curing lamp can not only irradiate the diseased teeth but also other areas inside the patient's mouth. Because the light-curing lamp has a heating effect, patients report that other normal areas inside the mouth are less comfortable under the light. Therefore, the technical solution of this application was proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an auxiliary component for dental curing lamps, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art where light curing lamps irradiate areas other than the affected tooth, causing discomfort to the patient.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An auxiliary component for a dental curing lamp includes a curing lamp body, and a light shield is detachably disposed on the outer wall of the curing lamp position of the curing lamp body. The light shield is used to limit the light of the curing lamp body to the position of the tooth to be irradiated when the curing lamp body irradiates the patient's teeth.

[0007] Optionally, the light shield includes: a connector and a cover body;

[0008] The connector is sleeved on the outside of the curing lamp body, the cover is inserted into the outer wall of the connector, and the cover can move relative to the connector to change the position of the cover relative to the curing lamp.

[0009] Optionally, the connector is a hollow cylindrical structure with multiple friction points on its inner wall. When the connector is connected to the light curing lamp body, the friction points are squeezed.

[0010] Optionally, a plurality of limiting grooves are provided axially on the outer wall of the connector; a plurality of limiting blocks are provided on the inner wall of the cover, and the limiting grooves and the limiting blocks are provided in a one-to-one correspondence. The cover is used to insert the limiting blocks into the limiting grooves to connect the cover to the outer wall of the connector.

[0011] Optionally, a friction column is provided on the inner wall of the limiting groove, and the friction column is squeezed when the limiting block is inserted into the limiting groove.

[0012] Optionally, both the friction point and the friction post are made of elastic silicone.

[0013] Optionally, the cover is made of a transparent material.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] An auxiliary component for a dental curing lamp includes a curing lamp body. A light shield is detachably mounted on the outer wall of the curing lamp body at the curing position. The light shield restricts the light from the curing lamp body to the area of ​​the tooth being irradiated when the lamp body irradiates the patient's teeth. By using the technical solution of this application and incorporating the light shield, the light from the curing lamp can be prevented from shining on other areas inside the patient's mouth when irradiating the affected tooth. This achieves directional heating of the curing lamp and improves patient comfort. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Various exemplary embodiments, features, and aspects of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote elements that have the same or similar functions. Although various aspects of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, they are not necessarily drawn to scale unless specifically indicated otherwise.

[0025] The term “exemplary” as used herein means “serving as an example, embodiment, or illustration.” Any embodiment illustrated herein as “exemplary” is not necessarily to be construed as superior to or better than other embodiments.

[0026] Furthermore, to better illustrate this application, numerous specific details are provided in the following detailed embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that this application can be implemented even without certain specific details. In some instances, methods, means, and elements well-known to those skilled in the art have not been described in detail in order to highlight the main points of this application.

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 7 In this embodiment of the present invention, an auxiliary component for a dental curing lamp includes a curing lamp body 1. A light shield is detachably provided on the outer wall of the curing lamp 4 position of the curing lamp body 1. The light shield is used to limit the light of the curing lamp body 1 to the position of the tooth to be irradiated when the curing lamp body 1 irradiates the patient's teeth.

[0028] In this embodiment, the light shield can be directly fitted onto the side wall of the light curing lamp. In use, it can be connected to the light curing lamp body 1. After the medical staff fills the patient's tooth with filling material and adjusts the shape, the light shield in this embodiment is assembled onto the light curing lamp body 1 and moved to the position of the curing lamp 4 to restrict the light irradiation position of the curing lamp 4. In this way, the light edge of the light curing lamp body 1 can only irradiate the area restricted by the light shield, and other areas inside the patient's mouth are not irradiated, thus improving the patient's comfort.

[0029] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate doctors' observation of the solidification of the filling material at the affected tooth, the cover 3 can be made of transparent material, thus making it easier for medical staff to observe.

[0030] In one specific embodiment, the light shield includes: a connector 2 and a cover 3; the connector 2 is sleeved on the outside of the light curing lamp body 1, the cover 3 is inserted into the outer wall of the connector 2, and the cover 3 can move relative to the connector 2 to change the position of the cover 3 relative to the curing lamp 4.

[0031] In this embodiment, the shape and size of the cover 3 can be adaptively selected according to the actual tooth size of different patients or the different tooth sizes of the same patient. In this application, as long as the cover 3 can cover the patient's tooth to be cured, it is acceptable.

[0032] In this embodiment, the light shield is configured into two parts: a connector 2 and a cover 3. In this way, the connector 2 can be permanently mounted on the side wall of the light curing lamp. When the light curing lamp body 1 is in use, it is only necessary to mount the cover 3 onto the connector 2, which makes it more convenient to use.

[0033] Of course, before using the light curing lamp, the position of connector 2 needs to be adjusted, and after assembling the cover 3 onto connector 2, the position of cover 3 also needs to be adjusted.

[0034] Specifically: the connector 2 is a hollow cylindrical structure, and multiple friction points 5 are provided on the inner wall of the connector 2. When the connector 2 is connected to the light curing lamp body 1, the friction points 5 are squeezed.

[0035] In use, the connector 2 is inserted into the side wall of the light curing lamp body 1 from the curing lamp 4 position of the light curing lamp body 1. At this time, the friction point 5 is squeezed. In a preferred embodiment, the friction point 5 can be made of silicone material, which is elastic. When the connector 2 moves to the predetermined position, the friction point 5 is squeezed, which can effectively improve the connection stability between the connector 2 and the light curing lamp body 1.

[0036] Furthermore, in order to improve the ease of assembly between the connector 2 and the cover 3, a plurality of limiting grooves 6 can be provided axially on the outer wall of the connector 2; a plurality of limiting blocks 7 are provided on the inner wall of the cover 3, and the limiting grooves 6 and the limiting blocks 7 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence. The cover 3 is used to insert the limiting blocks 7 into the limiting grooves 6 to connect the cover 3 to the outer wall of the connector 2.

[0037] This makes it easier to adjust the position between the cover 3 and the connector 2. Medical staff can adjust the position between the cover 3 and the connector 2 according to actual usage needs. In this way, medical staff can adjust the area restricted by the curing lamp 4 by the cover 3. For example, the lower the opening end of the cover 3 is, the smaller the irradiation area of ​​the curing lamp 4. Of course, when using it, it is also necessary to adjust the position of the cover 3 according to the irradiation standards of the light curing lamp specified by dentistry, such as irradiation distance and other parameters. The general principle is that the cover 3 should not affect the irradiation distance of the curing lamp 4.

[0038] It should be noted that the cover 3 provided in this application is not necessarily intended to restrict the illumination light of the curing lamp 4 to the patient's affected tooth. Using the cover 3 of this application is only to minimize the illumination area of ​​the curing lamp 4 and to minimize the discomfort caused to the patient by the curing lamp 4 illuminating the normal position in the patient's mouth.

[0039] In one specific embodiment, a friction column 8 is provided on the inner wall of the limiting groove 6. When the limiting block 7 is inserted into the limiting groove 6, the friction column 8 is squeezed.

[0040] In this embodiment, in order to improve the connection stability between connector 2 and cover 3, friction post 8 can be provided on the inner wall of the limiting groove 6. When the limiting block 7 is inserted into the limiting groove 6, the friction post 8 is squeezed, which can increase the friction between the limiting block 7 and the inner wall of the limiting groove 6, thereby improving the connection stability between connector 2 and cover 3.

[0041] In one specific embodiment, both the friction point 5 and the friction post 8 are made of elastic silicone material.

[0042] It should be noted that the light shields used in this application, including connector 2 and shield 3, are made of sterilizable materials for easy reuse.

[0043] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0044] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
