Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dental treatment instruments, and in particular to a dental chair with an airbag backrest. Background Technology

[0002] The dental chair is an essential component of dental treatment equipment. During treatment, patients lie down in the dental chair to facilitate the dentist's procedure. Since surgeries typically last from tens of minutes to several hours, patients need to lie stably in the dental chair for an extended period. However, conventional dental chair backrests can only improve patient comfort by conforming to the patient's back as closely as possible through their own curvature. Since different patients have varying body shapes, conventional backrests cannot fit all body types. Adjustments can be made using cushions or similar devices, but the adjustment effect of cushions is limited, and prolonged lying down can still cause discomfort. Therefore, there is a need for a self-adjusting chair back to alleviate the discomfort of prolonged lying down. Utility Model Content

The directional terms appearing in this utility model are for the purpose of better describing the characteristics of the features and the relationships between them. It should be understood that when the placement direction of this utility model changes, the direction of the characteristics of the features and the relationships between them also changes accordingly. Therefore, directional terms do not constitute an absolute limitation on the characteristics of the features and the relationships between them in space, but only a relative limitation.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 9As shown, this utility model provides a dental chair with an airbag backrest, including a dental chair body. The dental chair body includes a seat assembly 1, a backrest assembly 2, and a headrest assembly 3 connected in sequence. The backrest assembly 2 includes a backrest body 20 and an airbag part 21 installed on the backrest body 20. The backrest body 20 is connected to the seat assembly 1 and the headrest assembly 3 respectively. The airbag part 21 is provided with a lumbar airbag 22, a side back airbag 23, and a side waist airbag 24. The lumbar airbag 22 is located on the central axis of the airbag part 21. The side back airbag 23 is located on the left and right sides of the lumbar airbag 22 near the headrest assembly 3. The side waist airbag 24 is located on the left and right sides of the lumbar airbag 22 near the backrest body 20. The airbag part 21 is also provided with a patch pressure sensor group 25.

[0032] The backrest assembly 2 also includes an inflation device for inflating the lumbar airbag 22, the side back airbag 23 and the side waist airbag 24.

[0033] In this embodiment, the seat assembly 1 includes an adjustment frame 10, and the inflation device includes an adjustment valve 11. The adjustment valve 11 is fixedly installed on the adjustment frame 10 and is connected to the lumbar airbag 22, the side back airbag 23 and the side waist airbag 24 respectively; the adjustment valve 11 is connected to an external air source.

[0034] With the above design, when the patient lies down on the dental chair, their back rests against the backrest body 20. Since the patient's back cannot fully fit against the backrest body 20, the pressure sensor group 25 on the airbag part 21 detects the pressure at different positions and transmits the pressure signal to the regulating valve 11. The regulating valve 11 adjusts the airflow delivered by the external air source to the lumbar airbag 22, the side back airbag 23, and the side waist airbag 24 according to the signal, so that the airbags at different positions protrude to different heights, thereby increasing the contact area between the patient's back and the backrest body 20. By distributing the pressure, the pressure on the patient's back is reduced, thereby improving the patient's comfort.

[0035] Since most instruments used in dental surgery require high-pressure airflow to drive them, dental clinics are usually equipped with external air sources such as air compressors. The regulating valve 11 is equipped with an air inlet pipe, which is connected to the external air source.

[0036] In this embodiment, the patch pressure sensor group 25 includes a plurality of closely connected small patch pressure sensors.

[0037] The lumbar airbag 22 corresponds to the patient's lumbar spine, the side back airbag 23 corresponds to the patient's scapula and ribs, and the side waist airbag 24 corresponds to the patient's waist on both sides. The external air source adjusts the height of the lumbar airbag 22, the side back airbag 23, and the side waist airbag 24 respectively through the regulating valve 11. By inflating the airbags in different parts, the height of the protrusions in different positions is made to be different, so that the surface of the backrest body 20 fits the patient's back better.

[0038] In this embodiment, the backrest body 20 is also provided with a ventilation section, which includes an air guide 27 and a ventilation fan 28. The air guide 27 is installed in the backrest body 20, and the ventilation fan 28 is installed in the air guide 27. The air guide 27 is also provided with a filter cotton 29 near the ventilation fan 28.

[0039] When a patient lies on the backrest for a long time, the non-breathable backrest body 20 will cause the patient's back to get hot and sweaty, and may even cause local itching. Through the above design, the ventilation part guides the outside airflow to the airbag part 21. When the patient lies flat on the backrest body 20, the ventilation fan 28 draws the outside airflow into the air guide 27, and then the air guide 27 guides the air to the airbag part 21. The flowing air carries away the heat from the patient's back, reduces the temperature of the patient's back, and improves the patient's comfort.

[0040] In this embodiment, the lumbar airbag 22, the side back airbag 23 and the side waist airbag 24 are each provided with multiple sets of small airbags 210 of different sizes, and each set of small airbags 210 is connected to the regulating valve 11.

[0041] Through the above design scheme, the small airbag 210 can make the lumbar airbag 22, the side back airbag 23 and the side waist airbag 24 protrude at different heights. The independently connected small airbag 210 can expand or contract independently under the drive of the regulating valve 11, so that the surface of the backrest body 20 fits the patient's back as closely as possible.

[0042] In this embodiment, the headrest assembly 3 includes a connecting plate 30, a clamping plate 32, a knob 33, a cover 35, a connecting post 34, and a headrest body 31. The connecting plate 30 is slidably connected to the backrest body 20. A set of connecting posts 34 are fixedly installed on the connecting plate 30 and the headrest body 31. The clamping plate 32 connects two sets of connecting posts 34 respectively. A knob 33 is installed on the clamping plate 32 to control the tension of the clamping plate 32. The cover 35 is installed on the outside of the clamping plate 32.

[0043] With the above design, when the user loosens the knob 33, the clamp 32 is in a relaxed state, the connecting posts 34 on both sides of the clamp 32 are loosened, and the headrest can be adjusted freely; when adjusted to a suitable position, the user tightens the knob 33, the clamp 32 gradually clamps, the connecting posts 34 on both sides are clamped, and the headrest no longer rotates, so as to prevent the headrest from sliding when the patient is lying down and affecting the patient's experience.

[0044] In this embodiment, the seat assembly 1 further includes a base 12, a lifting part 13 and a seat part 14. The seat part 14 is connected to the backrest body 20 through an arc plate 4. The seat part 14 is connected to the lifting part 13. The adjustment frame 10 is connected to the lifting part 13. A seat cushion 15 and an armrest 16 are provided on the seat part 14.

[0045] Since the base 12, the lifting part 13 and the seat part 14 are existing technologies and not improvements of this utility model, they are not described in detail in this embodiment.

[0046] In this embodiment, the airbag portion 21 includes a support layer 211, a buffer breathable layer 212 and an outer skin layer 213 connected in sequence. The lumbar airbag 22, the side back airbag 23 and the side waist airbag 24 are disposed between the buffer breathable layer 212 and the outer skin layer 213, and the patch pressure sensor group 25 is disposed on the outside of the outer skin layer 213.

[0047] With the above design, the support layer 211 is made of honeycomb fibers and the breathable layer 212 is made of dense sponge. The support layer 211 can provide support for the airbag part 21, and the breathable layer 212 can provide cushioning while allowing the airflow blown by the breathable fan 28 to pass through and reach the patient's back. In this embodiment, multiple breathable holes are evenly arranged on the outer skin layer 213 for ventilation.

[0048] In this embodiment, the backrest body 20 is provided with arc-shaped side plates 26 on both sides, and the side plates 26 on both sides are bent towards the center.

[0049] Through the above design scheme, the inclined and bent side plate 26 can make the patient as centered as possible, allowing the patient to align with different parts of the airbag 21 as much as possible, ensuring that the lumbar airbag 22, the lateral back airbag 23 and the lateral waist airbag 24 are accurately aligned with the corresponding parts of the patient's body.

[0050] The dental chair with an airbag backrest provided by this utility model, compared with the prior art, has a patch pressure sensor group 25 that detects the pressure on different parts of the patient when lying down. After receiving the signal from the patch pressure sensor group 25, the regulating valve 11 starts to change the path, so that the small airbags 210 at different positions start to ventilate and bulge. The bulging small airbags 210 provide support for the patient's back, so that the patient's back can be evenly stressed. At the same time, the ventilation fan 28 guides the airflow in the airbag part 21, improving the patient's comfort.

[0051] Where there is no conflict, the above embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0052] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model.
