PORTABLE DENTAL TREATMENT DEVICE

[0001] This invention relates to a portable dental treatment device, specifically a device that integrates a water supply system and an ultrasonic sterilizer necessary for dental treatment and care. These components, along with other dental instruments, are consolidated into a single unit, significantly enhancing mobility and usability.

[0002]

[0003] Traditional dental medical equipment often features fixed structures with significant size and weight, limiting mobility and rendering them unsuitable for use outside medical facilities. Treating patients who cannot visit hospitals or providing mobile care in remote areas, such as rural communities, presents substantial challenges. Although efforts have been made to miniaturize equipment, existing technologies are constrained by their inability to support multiple functionalities, such as air compression, water supply, waste suction, and sterilization. Additionally, equipment like ultrasonic sterilizers, essential for maintaining hygiene, needs separate installation, reducing operational efficiency and spatial economy for medical personnel. To address these challenges, this invention proposes a multifunctional, integrated device that includes a water supply system and an ultrasonic sterilizer. The proposed portable dental treatment device aims to prevent damage or loss of instruments during transport and storage by housing all components in a single container.

[0004]

[0005] This invention aims to address the limitations of size and mobility found in conventional dental medical equipment. By miniaturizing the equipment and integrating a water supply system and an ultrasonic sterilizer, it facilitates dental care in diverse environments while improving operational efficiency and hygiene. Additionally, it provides equipment that operates reliably in resource-limited settings, such as rural or remote areas, thereby enhancing access to dental care.

[0006]

[0007] The invention includes a lightweight main body with storage space for dental instruments, a water supply system with a water tank and automatic distribution module for supplying water and collecting wastewater, and an ultrasonic sterilizer that ensures hygiene by sterilizing dental instruments. It also features a control unit equipped with an LED display and operational switches for monitoring and controlling the device’s status. Furthermore, the device includes a handpiece and scaler for tooth polishing and tartar removal, as well as a compressor and suction module that improve clinical efficiency by providing air injection and suction functions.

[0008] All these components are integrated into a compact design that minimizes size, enhances usability, and improves energy efficiency.

[0009]

[0010] The invention offers several benefits. First, the multifunctional integrated design, which includes a water supply system and ultrasonic sterilizer, saves space and increases operational efficiency. Second, the ultrasonic sterilizer reduces infection risks associated with dental instruments, ensuring improved hygiene. Third, the compact design enhances portability and usability in diverse settings. Fourth, the control unit allows intuitive operation, significantly improving user convenience. Fifth, the single compressor and low-power design reduce energy consumption and extend battery life. Finally, the device is stable and suitable for use in non-hospital settings, such as mobile clinics or vehicles, making it versatile across various environments.

[0034] The invention is a portable dental treatment solution designed to address the limitations of traditional equipment. It features a rectangular, lightweight main body (100) with internal storage space (110) for accessibility and portability. The water supply unit (200) includes a tank, automatic water distribution, a waste storage tank, and a low-water-level alert. An ultrasonic sterilizer (600) ensures hygiene by removing 99.9% of bacteria and viruses using high-frequency ultrasound. The control unit (300) centralizes operations with an LED display, operational switches, and adjustment settings. Dental instruments such as a handpiece (410) and scaler (420) are ergonomically designed for prolonged use, connecting to the sterilizer for enhanced hygiene. A compressor generates air for the instruments, while a suction module collects waste, both operating with low noise. Energy efficiency is achieved with lithium-ion batteries and power-saving technology. The modular design allows flexibility, durability, and ease of use in various applications.

[0035] Below, the invention is described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] The invention is a detailed, portable dental treatment solution designed to overcome the limitations of traditional equipment. It features a rectangular, box-shaped main body (100) with an internal storage space (110) that ensures both accessibility and portability. The water supply unit (200) is installed inside the storage space (110) and connects via wiring (10) and tubing (20), with power and air supplied through dedicated connectors (310 and 320). A control unit (300), housed within the storage space (110), includes operational switches (330) and adjustment switches (340) on a PCB board (350) for controlling the water supply, power connectors, and air connectors selectively.

[0037] The main body (100) is made of lightweight and durable materials, balancing portability with durability. Its modular assembly allows for customized configurations, with compartments (110 and 120) for organized storage.
