Description

A modular water supply and drainage system with flexible location selection for dental comprehensive treatment units Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a modularized water supply and drainage flexible site selection dental comprehensive treatment machine. Background Art

[0002] The dental comprehensive treatment unit is a multifunctional oral treatment device. It is an essential medical device used by medical institutions for oral diagnosis, treatment, and surgery. It must meet the standards and requirements of medical institutions for hygiene and infection control.

[0003] As shown in Figure 2, the current dental unit is supplied with water from the municipal water network, with a pre-installed ground-level connection. The water supply line for the dental unit begins at the municipal water connection and, after initial filtration, flows through the side box and instrument arm to the main instrument tray used by the doctor, ultimately connecting to dental instruments such as dental handpieces. Another line flows upward through the side box body to the spittoon and mouthwash device on top of the side box. A third line connects to the multi-function spray gun on the auxiliary instrument tray. A drainage line connects from the bottom of the spittoon and the suction device on the auxiliary instrument tray to the municipal sewage line.

[0004] The problems with this commonly used water supply and drainage method are as follows: (1) It is necessary to reserve water supply and drainage interfaces during renovation, which limits the freedom of site selection; if a dental comprehensive treatment unit is installed in a site without reserved water supply and drainage interfaces, it is necessary to increase the renovation budget for site modification, which also brings energy consumption and environmental problems; some sites cannot even be adaptively modified, resulting in some excellent geographical locations being unable to install equipment and carry out business operations due to site conditions; (2) The quality of tap water treated on-site (generally only filtered) still cannot meet the medical water requirements, there is a risk of wound infection, and there is no reasonable entry point for switching to distilled water that meets medical water standards; (3) Wastewater directly discharged into municipal sewage pipes increases the risk of environmental pollution and treatment costs. The viruses and bacteria contained in them are very easy to spread into the environment, which can easily cause uncontrollable secondary pollution transmission; (4) In addition, the complex and lengthy water supply pipelines lead to high pipeline disinfection costs and a lot of disinfection work time; (5) It is difficult to repair the pipelines inside the instrument arm when problems occur.

[0005] There is no technical solution to the above problems found in this industry yet.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] Referring to Figure 1, a specific embodiment of the present invention shows a modular dental treatment unit with flexible location selection for water supply and drainage. The dental treatment unit is provided with a water demanding mechanism, a drainage mechanism and a modular water supply and drainage system. The modular water supply and drainage system includes a water supply system for supplying water to the water demanding mechanism and a drainage system for recovering wastewater from the drainage mechanism. Both the water supply system and the drainage system include modular independent containers.

[0033] The dental unit includes a side box, a main instrument tray connected to the side box via an instrument arm, and an auxiliary instrument tray, spittoon, and a mouthwash water supply device mounted on the side box. The main instrument tray is equipped with dental instruments, while the auxiliary instrument tray is equipped with a suction device and a multi-function spray gun. The water-demanding mechanism includes dental instruments, a multi-function spray gun, a spittoon, and a mouthwash water supply device, while the drainage mechanism includes a spittoon and a suction device. The water supply system includes a water supply tank, which supplies water to the water-demanding mechanism via a water supply line. The drainage system includes a return water tank, into which the drainage mechanism discharges wastewater via a drainage line. A check valve is installed at the inlet of the return water tank to prevent wastewater from spreading upstream and contaminating the system.

[0034] The water supply tank includes water supply tank I and water supply tank II, which are movably installed on the main control instrument panel and the side box respectively. Water supply tank I is connected to the dental instrument through water supply pipeline I, water supply tank II is connected to the water outlet pipe of the mouthwash water supply device and the spittoon through water supply pipeline II, and water supply tank II is connected to the multi-function spray gun through water supply pipeline III; the return water tank is installed in the side box, and the spittoon and the suction device are both connected to the return water tank through drainage pipelines.

[0035] A water supply tank I accommodation chamber is provided on the main control instrument panel, and the water supply tank I is filled in the water supply tank I accommodation chamber from top to bottom.

[0036] The side box is provided with a water supply tank II accommodating chamber and a return water tank accommodating chamber for accommodating the water supply tank II and the return water tank respectively; the water supply tank II and the return water tank are respectively embedded in the water supply tank II accommodating chamber and the return water tank accommodating chamber in a horizontal sliding manner.

[0037] The return water tank is located at the bottom of the side tank and is equipped with a disinfection module. The volume of the return water tank is greater than the sum of the volumes of the feed water tanks I and II. The disinfection module is in the form of an ozone generator, a wastewater treatment agent, or an ultraviolet generator.

[0038] The water supply tank I, water supply tank II and return water tank are equipped with handles.

[0039] The water supply distribution method of this embodiment embodies the principle of proximity, changes the pipeline installation position and method, and saves pipeline length.

[0040] The water supply tank I, water supply tank II, and return water tank are all made of transparent materials. Liquid level gauges are installed in each of the water supply tanks I, II, and return water tanks. This facilitates obtaining water level information for each tank, allowing for timely replenishment or cleaning.

[0041] The structure also includes a timed water change reminder. According to the set requirements, the timed water change reminder prompts the user through voice prompts to promptly replace the distilled water in water tank I and water tank II to avoid bacteria growth caused by long-term water storage.

[0042] Fill the water tank with distilled water that meets medical water standards.

[0043] When in use, the distilled water in the water supply tank I is directly supplied to the dental instruments through the water supply line I. The distilled water in the water supply tank II is directly supplied to the mouthwash water supply device and the water outlet pipe of the spittoon through the water supply line II.

[0044] The distilled water in the water supply tank II is directly supplied to the multi-function spray gun through the water supply pipeline III.

[0045] The water supplied by dental handpieces, mouthwash water supply devices, spittoons, and multi-function spray guns comes into contact with the patient's mouth. Distilled water can prevent infection of the wound.

[0046] Water Supply Tanks I and II replace the municipal water supply interface for water supply, while the return water tank replaces the municipal drainage interface for wastewater recovery. This circumvents the location restrictions of the municipal water supply reserved port and increases the flexibility of the treatment machine installation location. Furthermore, the water quality of Water Supply Tanks I and II can be purchased according to sanitary requirements, ensuring water quality and reducing infection risks. This also solves a series of problems caused by site modifications and renovations. The disinfection module of the return water tank disinfects and sterilizes wastewater before it enters the environment, preventing secondary contamination.

[0047] In addition, the benefits brought about by this include significantly shortening the length of pipelines in the water supply and drainage system, thereby reducing the cost of cleaning and disinfection of the pipelines.

[0048] In other embodiments, the number of water supply tanks and return water tanks (increase or decrease in number), installation positions (such as embedded or external or independent of each other), connection methods with the treatment machine (such as fixed connection or movable connection or magnetic connection, etc.), and the adaptive adjustment of the pipeline layout caused by this can be changed as needed, and various changes based on existing technologies fall within the scope of the present invention.

[0049] The above description is only provided as an implementable technical solution of the present invention, and is not intended to be a single limitation on the technical solution itself.
