[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oral medical device technology, and in particular to a continuous membrane changing device and a dental X-ray machine. Background Technology
[0002] Dental X-ray machines are commonly used in dental treatment, primarily to take X-ray images of teeth and jawbones, helping dentists to more accurately diagnose and treat oral problems. The machine has a dental rod that the patient bites down to separate the upper and lower jaws for the dentist to view the X-ray. However, the dental rod needs to be carefully cleaned and disinfected after each use. With many patients and frequent use of the machine, it is difficult to clean the rod quickly and thoroughly, leading to inadequate hygiene and, in severe cases, even the spread of viral infections.

[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 6 The following embodiment provides a continuous film changing device, including a toothed bar 7, a film roll 1, an empty roll 2, and two rollers 3. The two rollers 3 are fixed to each other on both sides of the toothed bar 7. The film roll 1 is fixed on the roller 3 on one side of the toothed bar 7, and the empty roll 2 is fixed on the roller 3 on the other side of the toothed bar 7. The film of the film roll 1 wraps around the toothed bar 7 in a U-shape from the upper and lower sides of the toothed bar 7. The film is slidably connected to the toothed bar 7, and the end of the film is fixedly connected to the empty roll 2.
[0031] The working principle of this invention is to wrap the toothed rod 7 with a membrane. When the patient bites on the toothed rod 7, saliva, bacteria, and viruses are left on the membrane. This section of the membrane with residue becomes waste membrane. This invention collects the waste membrane by rotating the empty roll 2 on the rotating roller 3 to move the membrane. The membrane roll 1 on the other side of the toothed rod 7 is released at the same time, and the new membrane section re-wraps the toothed rod 7, thereby completing the continuous membrane replacement action. This avoids the need for frequent cleaning of the toothed rod 7, can adapt to situations with a large number of patients, improves hygiene conditions, and effectively reduces the risk of cross-infection of viruses.
[0032] In this embodiment, the membrane roll 1 is formed by winding membrane segments. The membrane segments are spindle-shaped and the length of the membrane segments is greater than twice the maximum circumference of the membrane roll 1. Each time the membrane is replaced, the middle part of the membrane segment is located at the toothed bar 7, so that the contaminated area with residue can be covered by the uncontaminated area of the membrane segment, thereby reducing the odor generated by the empty roll 2 not being cleaned for a long time.
[0033] In this embodiment, a housing is further provided at the empty roll 2 position to accommodate the empty roll 2, further reducing the odor of the empty roll 2 and preventing the patient from seeing the contaminated area inside the empty roll 2, which would cause discomfort.
[0034] Preferably, the membrane is a double-layer membrane 8, with one side open and the other side closed, and the double-layer membrane 8 is located on the upper and lower sides of the toothed rod 7 respectively. The double-layer membrane 8, with one side open and the other side closed, forms a U-shaped cross-section, which can more conveniently wrap the toothed rod 7 and perform membrane replacement operations.
[0035] As a further preferred embodiment, the device also includes a membrane divider 9, which is fixed to the side of the toothed rod 7 facing the membrane roll 1 and positioned between the double-layer membranes 8. Due to air pressure or viscous substances, the openings of the double-layer membranes 8 may not easily separate when wrapping the toothed rod 7, potentially causing membrane tearing during membrane replacement or causing contaminants such as saliva to be ejected due to the strong tension of the membranes. The membrane divider 9 can separate the double-layer membranes 8 in advance, reducing the membrane tension and preventing tearing and other malfunctions.
[0036] This embodiment also includes a fixed base 4 and a rotating shaft 5. One end of the rotating shaft 5 is fixedly connected to the roller 3, and the rotating shaft 5 is rotatably connected to the fixed base 4. A handle 6 is also included, with the other end of the rotating shaft 5 fixedly connected to the handle 6. The diameter of the handle 6 is larger than the diameter of the rotating shaft 5, and the outer circumference of the handle 6 is provided with anti-slip patterns. After the dental X-ray machine has been used, medical personnel can manually rotate the handle 6 on the side of the empty roll 2, thereby driving the roller 3 connected to the rotating shaft 5 to rotate, completing the film replacement operation. The fixed base 4 fixes the film roll 1 and the empty roll 2 at the same height, which is beneficial for the film replacement process of the double-layer film 8.
[0037] In one embodiment, the winding roller 3 includes a driving roller and a driven roller. The driving roller is fixedly connected to the empty roll 2, and the driven roller is fixedly connected to the film roll 1. The rotation shaft 5 of the driving roller is connected to a motor, and the rotation direction of the driving roller is consistent with the unwinding direction of the film roll 1. The motor drives the driving roller to rotate, thereby causing the empty roll 2 to pull the double-layer film 8, and the film roll 1 on the driven roller is unwound accordingly, thus completing continuous film changing. In this embodiment, the motor movement time is consistent with the film changing time, ensuring that the middle position of the film segment is located at the toothed bar 7.
[0038] In a further preferred embodiment, the fixed base 4 is further provided with a damping block 11, which abuts against the rotating shaft 5. When the motor stops outputting, the damping block 11 acts as a brake, preventing the driven roller from unwinding excessively due to rotational inertia. This embodiment also includes an adjusting rod 10, which is connected to the damping block 11. The fixed base 4 has a groove 401, and the damping block 11 is disposed within the groove 401, with the thickness of the damping block 11 being less than the height of the groove 401. The adjusting rod 10 adjusts the height of the damping block 11, thereby adjusting the braking force.
[0039] Preferably, the interiors of the film roll 1 and the empty roll 2 are hollow, and the roller 3 passes through them. The roller 3 includes a fixed part 301 and a movable part 302, which are connected by a spring 303. Compressing the spring 303 presses the fixed part 301 and the movable part 302 together, minimizing the diameter of the roller 3. After placing the film roll 1 or the empty roll 2 on the roller 3, releasing the spring 303 allows the fixed part 301 and the movable part 302 to open, thus fixing the film roll 1 or the empty roll 2. In this embodiment, three springs 303 are provided between the fixed part 301 and the movable part 302 to ensure stable spring force.
[0040] This utility model also provides a dental X-ray machine, including the continuous film changing device as described above, and also includes a head fixator and a support plate. The head fixator is connected to the continuous film changing device, and the support plate is fixed in front of the toothed bar 7. The distance between the support plate and the toothed bar 7 is the same as the height of the patient's mandible.
[0041] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
