[0023] First embodiment, such as Figures 1-7 As shown, a silicone protective sleeve for a root canal preparation machine with illumination function includes a silicone sleeve 1 made of flexible silicone material. The silicone sleeve 1 is designed to fit the shape of a common 100-degree bend root canal preparation machine head, and has a neck R1 for fitting and covering the bend head, and an execution part R2 located at the front end for accommodating and placing the working head. A control housing 11 is provided on the neck R1, and a light source 2 and a circuit control component for controlling the on / off state of the light source 2 are installed inside the control housing 11. An optical fiber 3 is provided on the surface of the silicone sleeve 1. One end of the optical fiber 3 is correspondingly positioned to the light source 2 to receive the light emitted by the light source 2, and the other end of the optical fiber 3 extends to a light outlet 13 below the neck R1 on the side of the execution part R2, for transmitting light to the area near the working head, thereby achieving localized illumination of the root canal treatment site.

[0024] Specifically, several fixing rings 12 are provided on the outer surface of the neck R1 for positioning and fixing the optical fiber 3. The fixing rings 12 are in the form of rings or semi-rings, and their inner diameter is adapted to the outer diameter of the optical fiber 3. The optical fiber 3 can be inserted into the fixing rings 12, thereby restricting its displacement or loosening.

[0025] Furthermore, the retaining ring 12, the control housing 11, and the silicone sleeve 1 are manufactured using an integral molding method. That is, through processes such as molding and injection molding, the silicone material is used to simultaneously form the sleeve, the retaining ring, and the outer shell of the control housing, thereby improving the overall structural integrity and assembly reliability. It can be understood that the retaining ring 12 can also be connected to the silicone sleeve 1 by bonding, heat fusion, or snap-fit.

[0026] In this solution, the circuit control components include a circuit board 6, a lithium battery serving as the power source 4, and a switch button 5. The circuit board 6 integrates conventional control circuitry (the circuit board 6 can be purchased directly from an external supplier), and is soldered to the lithium battery and switch button 5 via wires to form a power supply and control loop. The light source 2 is preferably a low-power, high-brightness LED lamp, and the switch button 5 is used to control whether the lithium battery supplies power to the LED lamp, thereby enabling the lighting function to be turned on and off.

[0027] Furthermore, a bending structure is provided on the neck R1, the shape of which is adapted to the corresponding part of the bending head. The control housing 11 is located at the bending structure, and its connection with the silicone sleeve 1 is made of chamfer, rounded corner or smooth curved surface to avoid sharp edges and improve the overall aesthetics.

[0028] The control housing 11 has an opening facing the side of the root canal preparation machine 100, facilitating the installation and maintenance of internal components. The housing surface has an integrally formed protrusion 111, with an internal space for accommodating the switch button 5. This protrusion reduces the probability of accidental activation and improves the user experience.

[0029] In this design, the protrusion 111 is designed to be circular, but it can also be designed to be other shapes, such as square or other geometric shapes, as long as it meets the installation requirements of the switch button and has a clear protruding structure so that the user can identify the switch position at a glance.

[0030] In use, the operator first places the silicone protective sleeve over the curved head of the root canal preparation machine 100, ensuring a secure fit. Then, the operator presses the switch button to activate the lighting source. The light is transmitted via optical fiber to the working end, providing ample illumination to the operating area while the root canal preparation machine 100 is in operation.

[0031] This invention effectively solves the problem of unclear vision caused by insufficient light during root canal treatment by increasing the lighting source and utilizing fiber optic transmission, thus improving the accuracy and safety of the treatment. Simultaneously, the silicone protective sleeve has excellent flexibility and biocompatibility, significantly alleviating the pressure and discomfort caused to the patient's oral soft tissues by traditional metal curved tips, improving the treatment experience. Furthermore, the protective sleeve's structural design ensures versatility, adapting to various common curved tip models, reducing usage costs and facilitating clinical adoption.
