Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a dental comprehensive treatment machine, specifically, to a clamp for disinfecting the spray gun of a dental comprehensive treatment machine. Background Technology
[0002] The dental spray gun, also known as a water-air gun or three-way gun, is a commonly used tool in dental treatment, primarily used for oral irrigation, cooling, drying, and adjuvant drug administration. It mainly consists of a handle, nozzle, valves, and air and water hoses located inside the handle. There are usually two valves, one for controlling air and the other for water. Current valves are push-button type, meaning they are only open when pressed and held down, and close when the pressure is released. After a period of use, the spray gun needs to be disinfected. This requires switching the water source to disinfectant and then pressing the valve controlling the water flow for an extended period to flush and disinfect the spray gun. This process typically lasts about an hour, which can cause significant operator fatigue.
[0003] In order to solve the above problems, people have been seeking an ideal technological solution. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a scientifically designed, easy-to-use, and highly practical clamp for disinfecting the spray gun of a dental comprehensive treatment machine.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a clamp for disinfecting a dental comprehensive treatment machine spray gun, wherein the dental comprehensive treatment machine spray gun includes a handle, a water pipe disposed in the handle, and a push-button valve for controlling the on / off state of the water pipe; the clamp for disinfecting the dental comprehensive treatment machine spray gun includes a clamping mechanism for clamping the handle and a pressing mechanism for pressing the push-button valve; the pressing mechanism includes a pressing cap, a pressing arm, and a locking mechanism; the pressing cap is fixedly installed on the clamping mechanism; the pressing arm is movably installed on the pressing cap; and the locking mechanism is installed on the pressing cap and is used to lock the movable position of the pressing arm.
[0006] Beneficial effects: The clamping mechanism is clamped onto the handle, and the pressing mechanism is brought close to the press-type valve. The press-type valve is pressed down by the raising and lowering of the pressing arm. Then, the pressing arm is locked by the locking mechanism, so that the press-type valve that controls the opening and closing of the water pipe is in the open state. In this way, during disinfection, the hand does not need to hold the press-type valve for a long time, making disinfection more labor-saving.
[0007] Based on the above, the pressing arm includes a lifting plate and an L-shaped arm rod. The top of the pressing cap is provided with two guide screws. The two ends of the lifting plate are respectively provided with through holes corresponding to the two guide screws. The locking mechanism includes a pair of positioning nuts installed on each of the guide screws. The lifting plate is located between the pair of positioning nuts. The L-shaped arm rod is installed on the lifting plate.
[0008] Beneficial effects: The two guide screws control the direction together, and the positioning nuts can easily lock the position of the lifting plate. When lifting is required, the two pairs of positioning nuts are unscrewed. After lifting is in place, the two pairs of positioning nuts are tightened. The operation is simple and the stability is high.
[0009] Based on the above, the L-shaped arm includes a vertical section and a horizontal section connected to the bottom of the vertical section. The upper part of the vertical section is provided with a threaded section and the lower part is provided with a smooth section. The center of the lifting plate is provided with a threaded hole that cooperates with the threaded section, and the pressing cap is provided with a sliding hole corresponding to the smooth section.
[0010] Beneficial effects: The threaded section and the threaded hole cooperate with each other, making it easy to adjust the angle of the L-shaped arm. The sliding hole does not affect the rotation and movement of the vertical section, and forms two limiting points with the threaded hole, improving the stability of the vertical section. By adjusting the angle of the L-shaped arm, the horizontal section can cover a larger range and is easier to press the push-button valve, thus making it suitable for more spray gun handles of different specifications.
[0011] Based on the above, the clamping mechanism includes two longitudinal rods and two U-shaped rods. The pressing cap is connected between the two longitudinal rods. The two ends of the longitudinal rods are respectively provided with through holes. The closed end of the U-shaped rod is away from the pressing cap, and the open end is arranged across the two longitudinal rods. The two legs of the U-shaped rod pass through the through holes and are connected to the locking nuts by threads.
[0012] Beneficial effects: By moving the two legs of the U-shaped rod through the through hole, the clamping space can be adjusted to facilitate clamping spray gun handles of different specifications. After adjustment, the locking nut can be used to lock it in place.
[0013] Based on the above, elastic rubber pads are provided at the bottom of the two longitudinal rods, and elastic rubber rings are installed at the closed ends of the two U-shaped rods.
[0014] Beneficial effects: The elastic pad and the elastic ring can make elastic contact with the surface of the spray gun handle, which can increase the contact area and make the clamping more stable, and can also prevent the spray gun handle surface from being pinched and damaged.

[0018] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments.
[0019] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a clamp for disinfecting a dental treatment machine spray gun is provided. The dental treatment machine spray gun includes a handle, a water pipe disposed in the handle, and a first push-button valve for controlling the on / off state of the water pipe. In addition, an air pipe is disposed in the handle, and a second push-button valve for controlling the on / off state of the air pipe is disposed on the handle. The two push-button valves are generally disposed side by side.
[0020] The disinfection clamp includes a clamping mechanism for clamping the handle and a pressing mechanism for pressing the first press-type valve. The clamping mechanism specifically includes two longitudinal rods 1 and two U-shaped rods 2. The two ends of the longitudinal rods 1 are respectively provided with through holes. The pressing mechanism includes a pressing cap 3, a pressing arm and a locking mechanism. The pressing cap 3 is connected between the two longitudinal rods 1. The closed end of the U-shaped rod 3 is away from the pressing cap 3, and the open end is arranged across the two longitudinal rods 1. The two legs of the U-shaped rod 3 pass through the through holes and are connected to a locking nut 4 by threads.
[0021] The pressing arm specifically includes a lifting plate 5 and an L-shaped arm. The top of the pressing cap 3 is provided with two guide screws 6. The two ends of the lifting plate 5 are respectively provided with through holes corresponding to the two guide screws 6. The locking mechanism includes a pair of positioning nuts 7 installed on each guide screw 6. The lifting plate 5 is located between the pair of positioning nuts 7. The L-shaped arm includes a vertical section 8 and a horizontal section 9 connected to the bottom end of the vertical section 8. The upper part of the vertical section 8 is provided with a threaded section 81 and the lower part is provided with a smooth section 82. The center of the lifting plate 5 is provided with a threaded hole that cooperates with the threaded section 81. The pressing cap 3 is provided with a sliding hole corresponding to the smooth section 82.
[0022] Working principle:
[0023] The handle shape, size, and layout of the two push-button valves differ for different specifications of spray guns. First, pull out the U-shaped rod 1 and place it on the outside of the handle, adjusting its position so that the push-button cap 3 is close to the first push-button valve. Then, push the U-shaped rod 1 to clamp the handle and lock it with the locking nut 4. Next, rotate the L-shaped arm to ensure that the horizontal section 9 is directly above the first push-button valve. Finally, unscrew the bottom positioning nut 7 and push the lifting plate 5 down until the L-shaped arm presses against the first push-button valve. Then, tighten the top positioning nut 7 to fix the position of the L-shaped arm, and the spray gun can then be used for disinfection.
[0024] To ensure a more secure clamping, elastic rubber pads 10 are provided at the bottom of the two longitudinal rods 1, and elastic rubber rings 11 are installed at the closed ends of the two U-shaped rods 2. The elastic rubber pads 10 and the elastic rubber rings 11 can make elastic contact with the surface of the spray gun handle, which can increase the contact area and make the clamping more secure, and can also prevent the surface of the spray gun handle from being pinched and damaged.
[0025] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it; although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the specific implementation of this utility model or equivalent substitutions can be made to some technical features without departing from the spirit of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the technical solution claimed by this utility model.
