Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of dental electric foot pedal technology, and in particular relates to a sliding mechanism for dental electric foot pedal. Background Technology
[0002] Dental electric foot pedals are commonly used to control electric instruments in dental treatments, such as dental drills and cleaning devices. These foot pedal controllers allow dentists to start or adjust the speed, intensity, and other settings of the instruments through different pedal operations, ensuring precise and smooth operation. By controlling the on / off state, speed, or intensity of dental equipment, dental electric foot pedals allow dentists to keep their hands free during treatment and focus on the patient's oral cavity.
[0003] However, the overall height of existing dental pedals is relatively large, which affects the doctor's posture during treatment and may lead to physical fatigue during prolonged operation. To solve these problems, this invention proposes a sliding mechanism for a dental electronically controlled foot pedal, aiming to reduce the overall height of the foot pedal, optimize space occupation, and improve comfort and convenience of use. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sliding mechanism for an electrically controlled dental pedal to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a sliding mechanism for a dental electric foot pedal, comprising a pedal body, the pedal body including a foot pedal cover, a directional key pedal on the top surface of the foot pedal cover, function key push plates symmetrically arranged on both sides of the directional key pedal on the top surface of the foot pedal cover, a function sliding push rod connected to the bottom of the function key push plate, a return spring connected to the function sliding push rod, a directional sliding push rod inside the pedal body, a directional key pedal connected to the top of the directional sliding push rod, and a sliding plate connected to the bottom of the directional sliding push rod.
[0006] Preferably, the pedal body has a sliding limiting fixing plate inside, and the top surface of the sliding limiting fixing plate has a slot. The directional sliding push rod is inserted into the slot of the sliding limiting fixing plate and is slidably connected.
[0007] Preferably, a reset rubber ring is provided between the directional sliding push rod and the sliding limit fixing plate, and the reset rubber ring is connected to a four-way micro switch.
[0008] Preferably, the functional sliding push rod is connected to a functional micro switch.
[0009] This utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0010] This invention provides a sliding mechanism for a dental electronic foot pedal. Through the simplified design of the sliding structure, the overall foot pedal height is reduced, thereby reducing foot fatigue for dentists. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0016] Example
[0017] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a sliding mechanism for a dental electric foot pedal, including a pedal body, the pedal body including a foot pedal cover 10, a directional key pedal 11 on the top surface of the foot pedal cover 10, function key push plates 6 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the directional key pedal 11 on the top surface of the foot pedal cover 10, a function sliding push rod 7 connected to the bottom of the function key push plate 6, a return spring 8 connected to the function sliding push rod 7, a directional sliding push rod 1 inside the pedal body, a directional key pedal 11 connected to the top of the directional sliding push rod 1, and a sliding plate 3 connected to the bottom of the directional sliding push rod 1.
[0018] The pedal body has a sliding limit fixing plate 2 inside. The top surface of the sliding limit fixing plate 2 has a slot. The directional sliding push rod 1 is inserted into the slot of the sliding limit fixing plate 2 and is slidably connected.
[0019] A reset rubber ring 4 is provided between the directional sliding push rod 1 and the sliding limit fixing plate 2, and the reset rubber ring 4 is connected to a four-way micro switch 5; the functional sliding push rod 7 is connected to a functional micro switch 9.
[0020] In this embodiment, the directional sliding push rod 1 is driven to move on the sliding plate 3 by the directional key pedal 11, and is restricted to sliding only in four directions (up, down, left, and right) by the sliding limit fixing plate 2. The reset rubber ring 4 is pushed, and then the four-way micro switch 5 is pushed to realize the directional control function.
[0021] The function key push plate 6 slides on the foot pedal cover 10, which drives the function sliding push rod 7 (with the reset spring 8 assisting in pushing and resetting), and pushes the function micro switch 9 to realize the function, thus realizing the function key push plate on both sides.
