Description

A multi-purpose periodontal probe structure Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of periodontal testing instruments, specifically a multi-purpose periodontal probe structure. Background Technology

[0002] As is well known, periodontal probes are a commonly used medical instrument in dentistry, primarily used to check the probing depth of periodontal pockets, attachment level, and bleeding after probing. The probe tip is blunt, with a diameter of approximately 0.5 mm. Periodontal probes can be single-ended or double-ended. There are graduated probes and also periodontal pocket probes specifically designed for probing periodontal pockets. Periodontal probes are frequently used tools by dentists and require routine sterilization to prevent cross-infection.

[0003] However, most periodontal probes on the market currently have the probe and handle integrated, making it impossible to disassemble and replace the probe, which greatly increases the cost of periodontal testing instruments.

[0004] Utility Model Content

[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a multi-purpose periodontal probe structure that allows for probe disassembly and replacement, thereby significantly reducing the cost of periodontal testing instruments. This solves the problem that the inability to disassemble and replace probes greatly increases the cost of periodontal testing instruments.

[0007] (II) Technical Solution

[0008] To achieve the aforementioned goal of enabling probe disassembly and replacement, thereby significantly reducing the cost of periodontal testing instruments, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A multi-purpose periodontal probe structure, including a handle and a probe. The handle has a groove on its front side, a channel on the inner wall of the groove, a sliding groove on the outer wall of the handle, and a through groove on the inner bottom wall of the sliding groove. A spring is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the sliding groove, and a push block is fixedly connected to the top of the spring. A locking block is slidably fitted onto the inner wall of the through groove. The probe has a locking groove on its outer wall, and a rotating rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove. A rotating plate is rotatably fitted onto the outer wall of the rotating rod. By pressing the push block from the outside of the handle, the push block moves into the sliding groove, which in turn causes the locking block to move upward via the rotating plate. The locking block moves through the through groove, causing one end of the locking block to disengage from the locking groove. Thus, the probe is no longer fixed, allowing it to be disassembled and a new probe installed. This device enables probe disassembly and replacement, significantly reducing the cost of periodontal testing instruments.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the push block is slidably sleeved with the slide groove, the locking block is slidably sleeved with the through groove, and the locking block is movably locked with the locking groove. The push block can be moved into the slide groove by pressing the outside of the handle.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, one end of the rotating plate is fixedly connected to a first universal joint, and one side of the first universal joint is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the block. The first universal joint can rotate in all directions, and one end of the rotating plate can rotate.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the other end of the rotating plate is fixedly connected to a second universal joint, and one side of the second universal joint is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the card block. The second universal joint can rotate in all directions, so the other end of the rotating plate can rotate arbitrarily.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a conductive socket is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the groove, and a conductive slot is provided on one side of the conductive socket. The handle can be equipped with a storage battery to provide power.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, one end of the probe is provided with a conductive plug, which is movably engaged with a conductive slot. The outer wall of the probe is provided with an illumination lamp. The handle is powered by a battery. After the conductive plug is inserted into the conductive slot, it can conduct electricity.

[0014] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a multi-purpose periodontal probe structure, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. By pressing the button on the outside of the handle, the button will move into the inside of the slide groove, which will then drive the locking block to move upward through the rotating plate. The locking block will move through the through groove, and one end of the locking block will disengage from the slot, so the probe will not be fixed. The probe can then be removed and a new probe can be installed. This allows the device to disassemble and replace the probe, which greatly reduces the cost of periodontal testing instruments.

[0017] 2. After the conductive plug is inserted into the conductive slot, it can conduct electricity. The handle is charged by the battery, and the light will turn on to provide illumination, thus making the device more convenient to use and further meeting the usage requirements of the device. This provides an effective auxiliary function to the device and is therefore worthy of promotion. Attached Figure Description
