[0015] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0016] This embodiment provides a dental chair storage rack, see attached drawing. Figure 1 The device includes a connecting seat 1, a storage platform 2, a folding mechanism 3, a storage box 4, and a water supply module 5. The connecting seat 1 is used to fit onto the support rod 101 of the dental chair water tank 100. The storage platform 2 is fixed to one side of the connecting seat 1. The storage box 4 is located at the bottom of the storage platform 2. One movable end of the folding mechanism 3 is connected to the storage platform 2, and the other movable end of the folding mechanism 3 is connected to the storage box 4. The water supply module 5 is located on the storage platform 2 and is connected to the dental chair water tank 100. The water supply module 5 is provided with a water supply port 311.
[0017] By connecting the connector 1 to the support rod 101 of the dental chair water tank 100, the shelf is connected to the dental chair, providing a centralized storage location for small instruments such as root cannula, root preparation machine, and dental gel gun. This reduces the distance doctors need to reach these instruments, solves the problem of scattered instrument placement, and improves retrieval efficiency. The shelf includes a storage platform 2 and a storage box 4. The surface of the storage platform 2 is flat, allowing instruments to be placed directly on it. The storage box 4 has a certain depth to prevent instruments from falling out. Instruments can be categorized according to their usage frequency, increasing storage capacity and avoiding the low retrieval efficiency and visual obstruction caused by scattered equipment. A folding mechanism 3 connects the storage platform 2 and the storage box 4, allowing the storage box 4 to be adjusted in an unfolded or folded state according to usage needs, reducing space occupation when not in use. In addition, the storage platform 2 is equipped with a water supply module 5, which provides a dedicated water supply port 311 for equipment such as ultrasonic therapy instruments. This eliminates the need for temporary connection to the instrument tray water circuit, avoids pipe entanglement and operation interruption, and meets the needs of equipment that frequently uses water circuits in root canal treatment.
[0018] Preferred options are listed in the appendix. Figure 2 and 3 The folding mechanism 3 includes two sets of folding supports 31. In this embodiment, the folding supports 31 are X-shaped folding supports 31, which have a first top end 31a, a first bottom end 31c, a second top end 31b, and a second bottom end 31d, and have a hinge point 31e in the middle. The two sets of folding supports 31 are respectively disposed on both sides of the storage platform 2. The first top end 31a and the first bottom end 31c of the folding supports 31 are slidably engaged with the storage platform 2 and the storage box 4, respectively. The second top end 31b and the second bottom end 31d of the folding supports 31 are hinged to the storage platform 2 and the storage box 4, respectively. By setting two sets of folding supports 31, the storage box 4 can maintain a stable load-bearing state when unfolded and folded, ensuring the stability of the instrument storage, facilitating the adjustment of the folding state of the storage box 4, and making it convenient to access the instruments inside the storage box 4.
[0019] Preferably, the folding mechanism 3 further includes a first slide bar 32 and a second slide bar 33. The first top end 31a and the first bottom end 31c of the folding bracket 31 are respectively connected to the first slide bar 32 and the second slide bar 33. The storage platform 2 has horizontally arranged first slide grooves 21 on both sides, and the storage box 4 has horizontally arranged second slide grooves 41 on both sides. Multiple latches 211 are alternately arranged on the lower side of the first slide groove 21 and the upper side of the second slide groove 41, and the latches 211 match the second slide bar 33. Thus, the distance between the storage box 4 and the storage platform 2 can be adjusted by the horizontal displacement of the first slide bar 32 and the second slide bar 33 in the first slide groove 21 and the second slide groove 41. By setting the latches 211 on the upper side of the second slide groove 41, the weight of the storage box 4 causes the second slide bar 33 to be engaged in the latches 211, thereby achieving the positioning of the second slide bar 33 and allowing the storage box 4 to be quickly locked at multiple preset height positions. Medical staff can adjust the height between the storage box 4 and the storage platform 2 according to whether folding is required, ensuring the stability of the storage rack during treatment. The cooperation between the latch 211 and the second slide bar 33 can also effectively prevent accidental sliding during use, improving operational safety.
[0020] Preferred options are listed in the appendix. Figure 4The connecting seat 1 includes two connecting rings 11. The inner side of each connecting ring 11 has a first arc-shaped semi-hole. The two connecting rings 11 are joined to form a first mating hole that matches the support rod 101 of the dental chair water tank 100. The two connecting rings 11 are connected by a first fastening bolt 12. By setting two connecting rings 11, the connecting seat 1 is fitted onto the support rod 101 of the dental chair water tank 100. This method achieves fixation to the support rod 101 without disassembling existing dental chair components, allowing the shelf of this embodiment to be installed on an existing dental chair, reducing modification costs. Simultaneously, the height of the shelf from the ground can be adjusted by adjusting the installation position of the connecting rings 11. Tightening the first fastening bolt 12 ensures a tight fit between the connecting seat 1 and the support rod 101, preventing displacement or falling during use.
[0021] Preferably, the device also includes a rotating seat 6, which rotatably engages with the connecting seat 1. The connecting seat 1 has a mating groove 13 on its outer side. The rotating seat 6 includes two connecting blocks 61, each with a second arc-shaped semi-hole on its inner side. The two connecting blocks 61 are joined together to form a second mating hole that matches the mating groove 13. The two connecting blocks 61 are connected by a second fastening bolt 62. One of the connecting blocks 61 is fixed to the storage platform 2. Multiple ball bearings can also be embedded in the inner side of the connecting block 61. By setting the rotating seat 6 to rotatably engage with the connecting seat 1, medical personnel can adjust the position of the storage platform 2 and the storage box 4 according to treatment needs. When not in use, the storage platform 2 can be rotated and moved to a position away from the medical personnel's operation to avoid affecting their operation. The two connecting blocks 61 are connected by a second fastening bolt 62. By adjusting the tightness of the second fastening bolt 62, the rotational damping of the rotating seat 6 can be controlled, facilitating the rotational adjustment and positioning of the rotating seat 6. By setting a mating groove 13 on the outer side of the connecting seat 1, the axial and radial positioning of the rotating seat 6 on the connecting seat 1 is achieved, ensuring stability during rotation and preventing shaking; by embedding balls on the inner side of the connecting block 61, the friction of rotation is reduced, mechanical wear is reduced, and service life is extended.
[0022] Preferably, the water supply module 5 includes a water supply base 31 and a water supply hose (not shown in the attached diagram). The water supply base 31 is mounted on the storage platform 2, and the water supply port 311 is mounted on the water supply base 31. The water supply port 311 is connected to the dental chair water tank 100 via the water supply hose. By setting the water supply base 31 on the storage platform 2 and embedding the water supply port 311 in the water supply base 31, instruments requiring water supply, such as ultrasonic therapy devices, can be quickly connected, facilitating use and eliminating the need for temporary connection to the instrument tray water system, which can lead to messy piping. The use of a water supply hose with good bending performance and sufficient length ensures that the water flow is not affected when the storage rack is rotated or adjusted. The water supply pipeline can be fixed inside the storage platform 2 or on one side of the storage platform 2 to avoid pipe clutter.
[0023] Preferably, the water supply module 5 also includes a three-way valve (not shown in the attached diagram) and multiple outlet switch valves 32. The three-way valve is used to connect to the water supply pipeline of the dental chair water tank 100. That is, a three-way valve connected to the water supply pipeline is added inside the dental chair water tank 100. One end of the water supply hose is connected to the output end of the three-way valve, and the other end of the water supply hose is connected to the input end of the outlet switch valve 32. The output end of the outlet switch valve 32 is connected to the water supply port 311. By setting multiple outlet switch valves 32, the on / off state of the water supply port 311 is controlled to meet the water supply requirements of multiple water-using devices. By setting a three-way valve, the output water circuit of the dental chair water tank 100 can be directly connected, avoiding the impact on the original water circuit function and saving modification costs; by centrally arranging multiple water supply ports 311 in the water supply base 31, the pipeline chaos is avoided.
