Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of dental surgical instruments and relates to a silicone protective sleeve for a root canal preparation machine with camera function. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the silicone protective sleeves on commercially available root canal preparation machines have a relatively limited function, primarily serving only to protect the curved tip of the machine, which cannot meet diverse clinical needs. Meanwhile, with the continuous advancement of dental treatment technology, adding a radiographic module to the curved tip of root canal preparation machines has become a trend to improve treatment accuracy and visualization. However, this improvement has brought new problems: the addition of the radiographic module significantly increases the size of the curved tip. An excessively large curved tip is limited by space during intraoral operation, making it difficult to access some narrow or complex root canal areas, resulting in difficulties in certain treatment scenarios, affecting the efficiency and quality of root canal preparation, and causing operational challenges for dentists.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to improve existing technologies to overcome their shortcomings. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a silicone protective sleeve for a root canal preparation machine with a camera function. Through structural improvements, it can not only protect the patient's oral cavity, but also allow the operator to see the condition of the operation site in real time.
[0005] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: A silicone protective sleeve for a root canal preparation machine with camera function includes a silicone sleeve, which has a neck that fits over the bending head and an execution part for placing the working head. The neck has a control housing that can accommodate control components. A camera housing for placing camera components is provided on the outside of the main channel of the execution part. The silicone sleeve has a wiring channel connecting the control housing and the camera housing.
[0006] As a further improvement of one embodiment of the present invention, the control housing, camera housing, neck and actuator are integrally formed.
[0007] As a further improvement of one embodiment of the present invention, the neck has a bending structure, and the control housing is located at the bending structure.
[0008] As a further improvement of one embodiment of the present invention, the control housing has an opening facing the root canal preparation machine and has a protrusion on the control housing to accommodate a switch button.
[0009] As a further improvement of one embodiment of the present invention, a sealing member is provided at the opening of the control housing, and the outer surface of the sealing member is a vertical surface.
[0010] As a further improvement of one embodiment of the present invention, the control component includes a circuit board, a power supply and a switch button. The circuit board is electrically connected to the camera component and is used to upload the images captured by the camera component to the server.
[0011] The above technical solution has the following beneficial effects: by using the camera housing and control housing, the optical imaging module and signal processing and control module of the camera are distributed to different positions of the silicone sleeve, avoiding the occupation of the main channel of the curved head, minimizing the volume occupied by the silicone protective sleeve, and meeting the needs of dental surgical treatment; it solves the problem of oral discomfort caused by the excessive hardness of the curved head, and solves the problem of the root canal treatment site being invisible, and has the advantages of simple structure, easy manufacturing, and low cost.

[0021] First embodiment, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, a silicone protective sleeve for a root canal preparation machine with camera function includes a silicone sleeve 1. The silicone sleeve 1 is divided into two main parts, the neck R1 and the execution part R2, according to the structural design of the curved head and working head of the root canal preparation machine 100.
[0022] The neck section R1 is fitted onto the bending head, providing a secure connection and initial protection. A control housing 11 is mounted on it to house the control components. The neck section R1 and the actuator R2 share a main channel 14, which is used to house the working head, ensuring proper root canal preparation. An imaging housing 12 for housing the imaging components 5 is located outside the main channel 14 of the actuator R2. A wiring channel 13 connecting the control housing 11 and the imaging housing 12 is provided on the silicone sleeve 1.
[0023] The circuit board 2, power supply 3, and switch button 4 of the control components are housed within the control housing 11. The power supply 3 can be a rechargeable or disposable battery, selected according to actual usage needs, providing power to the entire camera system. The switch button 4 is easy to operate; a simple press turns the camera function on or off. The circuit board 2, as the core control component, integrates a signal processing and control module and a signal transmission module. The signal transmission module uploads image data captured by the camera element 5 to a designated server via wired connections such as data cables or wireless connections such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth for subsequent storage, analysis, and sharing.
[0024] The aforementioned camera component 5 is an optical imaging module, including a lens assembly and an image sensor (CMOS / CCD), which converts real-world light signals into physical optical images. The signal processing and control module includes an image signal processor (ISP), a main control chip (MCU / SoC), and power supply and control circuitry. The image signal processor (ISP) optimizes and processes the raw electrical signals output by the optical imaging module and converts them into usable digital images / videos. The main control chip (MCU / SoC) is responsible for the overall function regulation, while the power supply and control circuitry provides stable power to each component and enables precise control.
[0025] The wiring channel 13 on the rubber sleeve 1 connects the control housing 11 and the camera housing 12, so that the wiring between the control component and the camera component 5 can be laid in an orderly manner, avoiding messy tangling of the wiring and ensuring the stability and reliability of signal transmission.
[0026] In this design, the control housing 11, camera housing 12, neck R1, and actuator R2 are manufactured using a one-piece molding process. This one-piece molding can be achieved through common processes such as injection molding, ensuring tight connections between the parts, a stable structure, and improving the overall integrity and sealing of the silicone protective sleeve.
[0027] The neck R1 features a bending structure, which can be rationally designed according to the actual shape of the bending head of the root canal preparation machine 100 and operational requirements, such as an arc-shaped bend at a certain angle. The control housing 11 is located at this bending structure, making full use of space and making the overall structure more compact and reasonable. At the same time, the control housing 11 opens towards the side of the root canal preparation machine 100, which facilitates the installation and removal of the control components and makes subsequent maintenance and repair convenient.
[0028] Preferably, the control housing 11 has a protrusion for accommodating the switch button 4. The height and shape of the protrusion can be optimized according to the size and operating feel of the switch button 4 to ensure that the switch button 4 can be securely installed in the protrusion and is easy for medical staff to operate.
[0029] To protect the control components, a sealing element is provided at the opening of the control housing 11. The sealing element can be made of the same or compatible material as the silicone protective sleeve, and its outer surface is vertical to ensure good sealing and overall harmony.
[0030] This invention cleverly distributes the imaging module across different positions on the silicone sleeve 1 through the rational application of the camera housing 12 and the control housing 11. The camera housing 12 houses the imaging components 5, while the control housing 11 accommodates the control components; their functions are clearly defined yet work in concert. This design effectively avoids the imaging module occupying the main channel 14 of the bending head, ensuring the main channel 14 remains unobstructed and providing ample space for the normal operation of the working head. Simultaneously, the rational layout of the camera housing 12 and the control housing 11 minimizes the overall volume of the silicone protective sleeve, perfectly meeting the demands of dental surgery for miniaturized and precise instruments. Furthermore, the soft silicone material solves the discomfort caused to the patient's oral cavity by the excessive hardness of traditional bending heads.
[0031] Therefore, the silicone protective sleeve for the root canal preparation machine provided by this utility model has a camera function, which enables visualization of the root canal treatment site. The overall structure is simple, easy to manufacture, and low in cost, and has high cost performance and market promotion value.
