Description

Multifunctional dental chair system

[0001] The present invention relates to a multi-functional dental chair system, and more specifically, to a multi-functional dental chair system that can maximize patient convenience by allowing personal belongings to be placed on top of a chair unit located near the patient and, in the case of a mobile phone, to be wirelessly charged.

[0002] When receiving dental implants, cavity treatment, or regular dental checkups, patients sit in a dental chair to receive treatment, such as procedures, treatments, or examinations. A dental chair refers to a chair designed to allow one to sit or recline.

[0003] When performing actual dental treatment on a patient seated in a dental chair, the doctor operates the dental chair for convenience so that the patient lies down facing the ceiling. Afterward, the light is moved to illuminate the teeth, and then treatment, such as procedures, treatments, or examinations, is performed using various dental tools. Once the treatment is completed, the dental chair is returned to its original position, and the patient rinses their mouth with water before leaving.

[0004] As briefly explained above, dental clinics are equipped with a dental chair system, which is a series of systems designed to perform the above processes in one place.

[0005] Although there may be slight differences depending on the manufacturer, existing conventional dental chair systems are complex devices in which various units such as a dental chair unit, a doctor table unit, and a lamp unit are connected into a single body, and it is common for two or three or more dental chair systems to be equipped in the treatment room depending on the size of the dental clinic.

[0006] However, the system currently in use at dental clinics is equipped only with a sink for rinsing water, and does not have any additional features such as a table that supports wireless charging of mobile phones.

[0007] In fact, considering that dental treatment takes tens of minutes or more, there is a need for the development of technology regarding this, as patient convenience could be enhanced if mobile phones or personal belongings could be placed and stored on top of a chair unit located nearby, and if the phones could be charged while stored.

[0008] Therefore, the technical problem that the present invention aims to solve is to provide a multifunctional dental chair system that maximizes patient convenience by allowing personal belongings to be placed on top of a chair unit located near the patient and, in the case of a mobile phone, to be wirelessly charged.

[0009] According to the present invention, the convenience of the patient can be maximized by allowing personal belongings to be placed on top of a chair unit located near the patient for storage, as well as enabling wireless charging in the case of a mobile phone.

[0050] Referring to these drawings, the multifunctional dental chair system (1) according to the present embodiment can maximize patient convenience by allowing personal belongings to be placed on top of a chair unit located near the user for storage, as well as enabling wireless charging in the case of a mobile phone.

[0051] The multifunctional dental chair system (1) according to the present embodiment, which can provide such effects, includes a dental chair unit (100), a doctor table unit (200), a medical treatment unit (300), a foot control unit (400), and a lighting unit (500), as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, and these units (100 to 500) are controlled by a system controller (600, see FIG. 28).

[0052] Of course, the multifunctional dental chair system (1) according to the present embodiment may include only the dental chair unit (100) and the functional treatment unit (300). In other words, the multifunctional dental chair system according to the present embodiment may be a system without the doctor table unit (200), foot control unit (400), and lighting unit (500), and even so, it should be considered to fall within the scope of the present invention.

[0053] However, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, if the dental chair unit (100), doctor table unit (200), functional treatment unit (300), foot control unit (400), and lighting unit (500) are all equipped, and if these units (100 to 500) are controlled by a system controller (600), a complete system can be constructed.

[0054] Therefore, in the following description, it is assumed that the multifunctional dental chair system (1) according to the present embodiment is equipped with a dental chair unit (100), a doctor table unit (200), a functional treatment unit (300), a foot control unit (400), and a lighting unit (500), and these components will be described sequentially.

[0055] A dental chair unit (100, dental chair unit) refers to a series of units (or devices, machines) in which a patient sits or lies down to receive dental treatment, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 9.

[0056] The dental chair unit (100) may include a dental chair (120) and a chair support base (110) that supports the dental chair (120).

[0057] First, regarding the chair support base (110), the chair support base (110) is a structure that supports the dental chair (120) by placing it below the dental chair (120) and supporting the dental chair (120) on the ground or installation surface.

[0058] In addition, the chair support base (110) forms a place where a series of devices, such as motors, are mounted to electrically tilt or raise the dental chair (120). Therefore, unless it is for maintenance, there is no need for a doctor or nurse to disassemble the chair support base (110).

[0059] A chair actuator (115) is provided in the chair support base (110). The chair actuator (115) is a structure that supports the dental chair (120) and the chair support base (110), and drives the dental chair (120) so that the height or rotation angle of the dental chair (120) can be varied. Of course, a series of parts that perform this function can be connected to the chair actuator (115) after being installed within the chair support base (110).

[0060] A dental chair (120) refers to a series of chairs in which a patient sits or lies down to receive dental treatment. Of course, it is different from a standard office chair.

[0061] The dental chair (120) is coupled to a chair support base (110) and includes a seat portion (130) that forms a seat for a patient to sit on, and a backrest portion (140) that is interposed with the seat portion (130) to support the patient's back and whose angle of inclination relative to the seat portion (130) is adjustable.

[0062] In addition, the dental chair (120) applied to the present embodiment further includes an angle adjustment connecting part (151) that connects the seat part (130) and the backrest part (140) so that the angle of inclination of the backrest part (140) can be adjusted with respect to the seat part (130), a pair of armrest parts (152) that are positioned on both sides of the seat part (130) and support the patient's arms, and a headrest (153) that is provided on the upper part of the backrest part (140) and supports the patient's neck or head.

[0063] In this way, if the dental chair (120) is applied in a structure that includes a seat portion (130), a backrest portion (140), an inclination angle adjustment connecting portion (151), a pair of armrest portions (152), and a headrest (153), it can provide a more stable environment for the patient. Therefore, the patient can receive treatment in a comfortable state during dental implants, cavity treatment, or regular dental checkups.

[0064] For reference, the systems currently used in dental clinics (not shown) generally do not have means to heat or cool the dental chair (not shown), so patients who have to sit in the dental chair for several minutes to tens of minutes for treatment during the cold winter or hot summer may experience some discomfort.

[0065] Therefore, to solve this, a chair heat exchanger (160, 170) is provided in the dental chair unit (100) of the multifunctional dental chair system (1) according to the present embodiment. Due to the chair heat exchanger (160, 170), the dental chair (120) can be heated or cooled as needed, thereby providing a comfortable sense of stability to the patient.

[0066] The chair heat exchanger (160, 170) is provided on at least one side of the seat portion (130) or the backrest portion (140) and serves to heat or cool the seat portion (130) or the backrest portion (140).

[0067] In this embodiment, the chair heat exchanger (160, 170) includes a seat heat exchanger (160) provided in the seat portion (130) and a backrest heat exchanger (170) provided in the backrest portion (140).

[0068] In other words, this embodiment is equipped with both a seat heat exchanger (160) and a backrest heat exchanger (170). However, only one of the seat heat exchanger (160) and the backrest heat exchanger (170) may be applied. That is, only the seat heat exchanger (160) may be applied to heat or cool only the seat portion (130), or only the backrest heat exchanger (170) may be applied to heat or cool only the backrest portion (140), and all of these matters should be considered to fall within the scope of the present invention.

[0069] When both the seat heat exchanger (160) and the backrest heat exchanger (170) are provided as in this embodiment, the seat heat exchanger (160) and the backrest heat exchanger (170) can be controlled simultaneously, and this can be performed by the system controller (600).

[0070] Before describing the seat heat exchanger (160), let us look at the structure of the seat portion (130). The seat portion (130) includes a seat cushion portion (131) that forms a seat for a patient to sit on and is made of an elastic material, and a seat cushion support portion (132) that supports the seat cushion portion (131) on one side of the seat cushion portion (131), is made of a rigid material, and has a plurality of seat ventilation holes (133) formed in a portion of the surface.

[0071] In the seat portion (130) having such a structure, the seat heat exchange portion (160) can be positioned on the inner and outer sides of the seat cushion support portion (132).

[0072] That is, in this embodiment, the seat heat exchanger (160) is positioned between the seat cushion part (131) and the seat cushion support part (132) adjacent to the seat ventilation hole (133), and includes a seat heating wire (161) arranged to be positioned in the entire area or part of the seat cushion part (131), and a seat blower (162) positioned on one side of the seat cushion support part (132) facing the chair support base (110) and spraying air or cold air through the seat ventilation hole (133).

[0073] Accordingly, the seat portion (130) can be heated by operating only the seat heating element (161) through the operation of the system controller (600), which may be advantageous in winter. Conversely, in summer, it is sufficient to operate only the seat blower (162) without operating the seat heating element (161).

[0074] Before describing the backrest heat exchanger (170), the structure of the backrest (140) is examined. The backrest (140) includes a backrest cushion part (141) made of an elastic material that supports the patient's back, and a backrest cushion support part (142) made of a rigid material that supports the backrest cushion part (141) on one side of the backrest cushion part (141), and has a plurality of backrest ventilation holes (143) formed in a portion of the plate surface.

[0075] In the backrest portion (140) having such a structure, the backrest heat exchange portion (170) can be positioned on the inner and outer sides of the backrest cushion support portion (142).

[0076] That is, in this embodiment, the backrest heat exchanger (170) is positioned between the backrest cushion part (141) and the backrest cushion support part (142) adjacent to the backrest ventilation hole (143) and includes a backrest heating wire (171) arranged to be positioned in the entire area or a part of the backrest cushion part (141), and a backrest blower (172) positioned on one side of the backrest cushion support part (142) facing the chair support base (110) and spraying air or cold air through the backrest ventilation hole (143).

[0077] Accordingly, by operating only the backrest heating element (171) through the operation of the system controller (600), the backrest part (140) can be heated, which may be advantageous in winter. Conversely, in summer, it is sufficient to operate only the backrest blower (172) without operating the backrest heating element (171).

[0078] The doctor table unit (200, doctor table unit) is a unit structure connected to the dental chair unit (100) through a first connecting arm (180) on one side of the dental chair unit (100), as illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4 and FIGS. 10 to 14. The first connecting arm (180) may be formed by connecting a plurality of first unit arms (181) so as to be rotatable in multiple directions.

[0079] For reference, the doctor table unit (not shown) of the system currently in use at the dental clinic does not have a means to provide hot water to the various dental tools mounted thereon, such as handpieces, 3-way syringes, and scalers, or even if a system to provide hot water is installed, it uses stored hot water, so there is a disadvantage that it takes a long time to reheat it after it is all used up. Therefore, patients may experience some discomfort due to the cold water during the cold winter months.

[0080] Accordingly, a hot water supply unit (240) is additionally provided in the multifunctional dental unit chair system (1) according to the present embodiment. The hot water supply unit (240) is connected to the doctor table unit (200) and is a means for supplying hot water to a certain dental tool that can be mounted on the doctor table unit (200), such as a handpiece, a 3-way syringe, a scaler, etc. Since the hot water supply unit (240) is applied, hot water can be continuously supplied to the dental tool as needed, thereby reducing the patient's discomfort.

[0081] Before describing the hot water supply unit (240), we will examine the doctor table unit (200). The doctor table unit (200) may include a main doctor table (210) and an expandable doctor table (221).

[0082] The main doctor table (210) forms the largest area and space in the doctor table unit (200). The main doctor table (210) is equipped with a table housing (211) in which a predetermined space is formed, and a table cover (212) that covers the opening of the table housing (211). Various parts can be mounted in the space within the table housing (211).

[0083] The expandable doctor table (221) is detachably connected to one side of the main doctor table (210) and serves to selectively expand the combined area with the main doctor table (210). The expandable doctor table (221) can be removed if not needed. However, as in this embodiment, installing the expandable doctor table (221) additionally can contribute to improving the convenience of the doctor's treatment by allowing a substantially larger space to be utilized together with the main doctor table (210).

[0084] In addition to the configuration of the main doctor table (210) and the extension doctor table (221), the doctor table unit (200) further includes a sub doctor table (222), a storage tray (223), a chart holder (225), and a tool holder (224). A doctor table unit (200) with a composite structure in which the sub doctor table (222), storage tray (223), chart holder (225), and tool holder (224) are added together with the main doctor table (210) and the extension doctor table (221) can provide the advantage of being able to expand functionality.

[0085] The sub-doctor table (222) is a table that is detachably connected to the side of the main doctor table (210), which is opposite the extensional doctor table (221), based on the main doctor table (210). Of course, the sub-doctor table (222) is formed with a smaller area than the main doctor table (210). When the main doctor table (210), the extensional doctor table (221), and the sub-doctor table (222) are all utilized, it can contribute to increasing the convenience of the doctor's treatment in that a large space can be utilized. In particular, the sub-doctor table (222) can also serve as a place to place a mouse, etc.

[0086] A storage tray (223) is attached to one side of the main doctor table (210) that intersects a virtual line connecting the main doctor table (210), the extension doctor table (221), and the sub doctor table (222). Items such as ballpoint pens can be stored so that they do not fall out.

[0087] The chart holder (225) is configured to be connected to the storage tray (223) and forms a place for holding charts. The efficiency of the work of doctors or nurses can be increased in that charts can be held upright at an angle without the need for clips.

[0088] The tool holder (224) is attached to the other side of the main doctor table (210), opposite the chart holder (225), with respect to the main doctor table (210), and forms a place where a predetermined dental tool can be detachably mounted.

[0089] A plurality of tool mounting slots (224a) are formed in the tool holder (224) to allow for the detachable mounting of dental tools. At this time, the tool mounting slots (224a) form a ring shape with one side open. Therefore, user convenience can be greatly enhanced. A mirror (230) may be provided between the tool mounting slots (224a). Of course, a notepad or the like may be provided instead of a mirror (230).

[0090] And, on the other side of the main doctor table (210) opposite the storage tray (223), a handling part (250) for handling the doctor table unit (200) is formed.

[0091] As previously mentioned, the hot water supply unit (240) is connected to the doctor table unit (200) and is a means of supplying hot water to a certain dental tool that can be mounted on the doctor table unit (200), such as a handpiece, a 3-way syringe, a scaler, etc.

[0092] The hot water supply unit (240) may include an instantaneous water heater (241) that rapidly heats water, a plurality of hot water connectors (242) provided within a table housing (211) corresponding to the number of dental tools that can be mounted, a hot water supply line (243) connecting the instantaneous water heater (241) and the hot water connectors (242), and a plurality of hot water delivery lines (244) that individually connect the hot water connectors (242) and the dental tools to deliver hot water to the corresponding dental tools. Since the hot water supply unit (240) of this structure is applied, hot water can be continuously supplied to the dental tools as needed, thereby reducing the discomfort of the patient.

[0093] A functional medical treatment unit (300, medical treatment unit) is a structure placed on one side of a dental chair unit (100), as illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4 and FIGS. 15 to 19, and refers to a medical device having multiple functions.

[0094] Meanwhile, as briefly mentioned earlier, the system currently in use at dental clinics is equipped only with a sink for rinsing water and does not have any additional features such as tables that support wireless charging of mobile phones.

[0095] In fact, considering that dental treatment takes tens of minutes or more, it can be expected that patient convenience could be increased if mobile phones or personal belongings carried by the patient could be placed on top of a chair unit located near the patient for storage, and if the mobile phone could be charged while stored. To this end, a functional treatment unit (300) is applied. As will be described later, the functional treatment unit (300) according to the present embodiment allows for the storage of personal belongings placed on top of a chair unit located near the patient, and enables wireless charging in the case of a mobile phone, thereby maximizing patient convenience.

[0096] The functional treatment unit (300) may include a treatment unit body (310) forming an external structure, a sink (320) provided on one side of the upper part of the treatment unit body (310) for rinsing the mouth after treatment and discharging the water, and a functional table (330) positioned adjacent to the sink (320) for placing personal belongings on and storing them, and equipped with a wireless charging function.

[0097] The functional table (330) may include a table body (331) in which a space for receiving parts is formed inside, and a body cover (332) that can detachably open and close the upper opening of the table body (331).

[0098] A wireless charging module (340) may be provided in the component receiving space within the table body (331). That is, the wireless charging module (340) is provided within the table body (331) so that wireless charging of a mobile phone placed on the body cover (332) is possible. Since the wireless charging module (340) is provided, the patient's convenience can be maximized by allowing them to place personal belongings on the functional table (330) near them for storage, as well as by enabling wireless charging in the case of a mobile phone.

[0099] In addition to this configuration, the functional treatment unit (300) may further include a cup support (351) provided on the treatment unit body (310) in the upper area of ​​the sink (320), a water dispenser (352) provided on the upper part of the cup support (351) and automatically supplying water into a cup placed on the cup support (351), and a pocket (353) for storing personal belongings provided on the side of the functional table (330). In particular, when an empty cup is placed on the cup support (351), the water dispenser (352) can be controlled to operate automatically to supply water.

[0100] In addition, the functional treatment unit (300) may further include an auxiliary housing (354) additionally coupled to the side of the functional table (330), a multi-joint arm (355) that extends outward from one side of the treatment unit body (310) and is rotatable in multiple directions, and a dummy table (356) coupled to the end of the multi-joint arm (355). A predetermined dental tool may be detachably mounted on one side of the dummy table (356). Since all of these configurations are applied as a structure in which the functional treatment unit (300) is combined into one, there is an advantage of being able to provide multiple functions through a single unit. In particular, there is an advantage of high ease of installation and a simplified structure.

[0101] In particular, the functional treatment unit (300) according to the present embodiment further includes a UV sterilizer (360). The UV sterilizer (360) is provided within the treatment unit body (310) and serves to sterilize bacteria in the piping equipped in the functional treatment unit (300) using ultraviolet (UV) light. Since the UV sterilizer (360) is provided, it is sufficient to provide a sense of stability free of bacteria, given the nature of dental clinics where a large amount of water must be used during treatment.

[0102] As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4 and FIGS. 20 to 23, the foot control unit (400) is connected to the dental chair unit (100) by a cable and is a means for providing a series of input signals for adjusting the position or angle of the dental chair (120) by foot pressure by foot pressure.

[0103] For reference, in the case of the system currently used in dental clinics, it is common to input a series of input signals for adjusting the position or angle of the dental chair (120) using a lever type or a joystick type, which can reduce the convenience of the user, who is a doctor, and can also frequently cause malfunctions in the input values.

[0104] Thus, in the multifunctional dental chair system (1) according to the present embodiment, by applying a foot control unit (400), a series of input signals for adjusting the position or angle of the dental chair (120) can be supplemented and applied using an intuitive foot pressure method, deviating from the existing lever type or joystick type. Therefore, there is an advantage of increasing the convenience of the user, who is a doctor, while preventing malfunctions.

[0105] The foot control unit (400) may include a foot controller base play (410) supported on the installation surface and a pressure signal input unit (420) provided on the foot controller base play (410) for inputting different input signals.

[0106] The pressure signal input unit (420) may include a chair control input button (430), a sub-foot input button (440), a first side foot input button (450), and a second side foot input button (460).

[0107] The chair control input button (430) is positioned in the central area of ​​the foot controller base play (410) and forms the relatively highest position. The input surface of the chair control input button (430) forms an inclined main inclined input surface (431). Therefore, it is easy to step on. A first direction indicator pattern (432) is formed on the main inclined input surface (431). The input values ​​of the first direction indicator patterns (432) are different from each other.

[0108] The sub-foot input button (440) forms a lower position than the chair control input button (430) and serves to generate an input signal different from that of the chair control input button (430). The input surface of the sub-foot input button (440) forms a sub-slope input surface (441) that has a smaller area than the main slope input surface (431) and a lower slope than the main slope input surface (431). Therefore, it is also easy to step on. A second direction display pattern (442) with different input values ​​is also formed on the sub-slope input surface (441).

[0109] Multiple non-linear uneven ribs (443) are formed around the sub-slope input surface (441). Therefore, when stepping on the sub-slope input surface (441) to input a signal, slipping can be prevented. Additionally, sensation can be transmitted to the foot even without visual inspection.

[0110] The first side foot input button (450) is provided in a side area of ​​the chair control input button (430) in a direction that intersects the virtual line connecting the chair control input button (430) and the sub foot input button (440), and is a means for transmitting an input signal different from the chair control input button (430) and the sub foot input button (440).

[0111] The second side foot input button (460) is provided in the other side area of ​​the chair control input button (430) opposite the first side foot input button (450) with respect to the chair control input button (430), and is a means for transmitting an input signal different from the chair control input button (430), the sub foot input button (440); and the first side foot input button (450).

[0112] A plurality of straight, uneven ribs (470) are symmetrically formed on the input surfaces of the first side foot input button (450) and the second side foot input button (460). The straight, uneven ribs (470) can also be used as a means to prevent slipping or to transmit sensation to the foot without visual inspection.

[0113] In addition to this, the foot control unit (400) further includes an instep support (480). The instep support (480) is a wire-type structure in which both ends are connected to the foot controller base play (410) area and the other end is bent and formed towards the chair control input button (430) in the upper area of ​​the chair control input button (430). This instep support (480) can be used when moving the foot control unit (400) with the foot.

[0114] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 and FIGS. 24 to 27, the lighting unit (500, lamp unit) is connected to the functional treatment unit (300) through a second connecting arm (190) formed by the assembly of a plurality of second unit arms (191) that can be rotated in multiple directions.

[0115] For reference, the lighting unit (not shown) of the system currently in use in dental clinics generally only uses a relatively large main lamp (520), which helps to brightly illuminate the overall condition inside the oral cavity.

[0116] However, a lighting unit (500) is applied to the system (1) because it is somewhat insufficient to provide a localized lighting function targeting a desired narrow point within the patient's oral cavity. Unlike the previous system, this lighting unit (500) can provide a localized lighting function targeting a desired narrow point within the patient's oral cavity, thereby assisting in the effective performance of the treatment.

[0117] The lighting unit (500) includes a lighting unit body (510), a main lamp (520), and a sub lamp (530) that provides localized lighting for targeting a desired narrow point in the patient's oral cavity.

[0118] The lighting unit body (510) is the exterior structure of the lighting unit (500). A main lamp (520) and a sub lamp (530) are mounted at different locations on the lighting unit body (510).

[0119] A lighting handling handle (540) is connected to the lighting unit body (510). The lighting handling handle (540) is a structure formed symmetrically on both sides of the lighting unit body (510) and is used when handling the lighting unit (500).

[0120] The main lamp (520) provides illumination over the largest area. A lamp support (521) that replaceably supports the main lamp (520) is attached to the lighting unit body (510). A plurality of heat dissipation slits (522) for heat dissipation are formed in the main lamp (520).

[0121] As described above, the sub-lamp (530) provides a localized lighting function targeting a desired narrow point within the patient's oral cavity. In this embodiment, the sub-lamp (530) is applied as a detachable sub-lamp (530) that is detachably coupled to one side of the lighting unit body (510).

[0122] The detachable sub-lamp (530) may include a detachable lamp head (531) that is detachably coupled to one side of the lighting unit body (510), a flexible connecting line (532) made of a freely rotatable material with one end connected to the detachable lamp head (531), and a local lighting module (533) that is detachably coupled to the other end of the flexible connecting line (532).

[0123] At this time, a pair of flexible connecting lines (532) and local lighting modules (533) are provided. Thus, multiple desired narrow points within the oral cavity can be illuminated.

[0124] The detachable lamp head (531) is provided with an on / off independent switch (534) for independently turning on / off the local lighting module (533) with respect to the main lamp (520). Due to the on / off independent switch (534), there is an advantage that the detachable sub-lamp (530) can be used only when needed.

[0125] Meanwhile, as mentioned earlier, the multifunctional dental chair system (1) according to the present embodiment is further equipped with a system controller (600) for controlling the system as shown in FIG. 28.

[0126] The system controller (600) is connected to the dental chair unit (100), doctor table unit (200), functional treatment unit (300), foot control unit (400), and lighting unit (500), and controls the units (100 to 500) through an organic mechanism to enable the operation of these units (100 to 500).

[0127] For example, in this embodiment, the system controller (600) controls the wireless charging module (340) to operate automatically so that wireless charging is possible in the case of a mobile phone, thereby maximizing the convenience of the patient.

[0128] A system controller (600) that performs this role may include a central processing unit (610, CPU), memory (620, MEMORY), and a support circuit (630, SUPPORT CIRCUIT).

[0129] The central processing unit (610) in this embodiment may be one of various computer processors that can be industrially applied to control the units (100-500) through an organic mechanism so as to be connected to the dental chair unit (100), doctor table unit (200), functional treatment unit (300), foot control unit (400), and lighting unit (500).

[0130] The memory (620, MEMORY) is connected to the central processing unit (610). The memory (620) may be installed locally or remotely as a computer-readable recording medium and may be at least one memory that is readily available, such as random access memory (RAM), ROM, a floppy disk, a hard disk, or any digital storage form.

[0131] A support circuit (630) is coupled with a central processing unit (610) to support typical operation of the processor. This support circuit (630) may include a cache, a power supply, a clock circuit, an input / output circuit, a subsystem, etc.

[0132] In this embodiment, the system controller (600) controls the wireless charging module (340) to operate automatically, and such a series of control processes, etc., may be stored in memory (620). Typically, a software routine may be stored in memory (620). The software routine may also be stored or executed by another central processing unit (not shown).

[0133] Although the process according to the present invention has been described as being executed by software routines, at least some of the processes of the present invention may also be performed by hardware. As such, the processes of the present invention may be implemented by software executed on a computer system, by hardware such as an integrated circuit, or by a combination of software and hardware.

[0134] According to the present embodiment, which operates with the structure described above, the patient's convenience can be maximized by allowing personal belongings to be placed on top of a chair unit located near the patient for storage, as well as enabling wireless charging in the case of a mobile phone.

[0135] As such, the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments, and it is obvious to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, such modifications or variations should be deemed to fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention.

[0136] The present invention can be used in dental treatment.
