technical field

The present invention relates to a device of a dental treatment system; more specifically, it refers to an automatic disinfection integrated device of a dental treatment system.

Background technique

Most of the waterway systems of dental chairs contain biofilms, which make the waterway system a breeding ground for microorganisms. In order to avoid microbial contamination of waterways, dental clinics generally set standards, and Taiwan stipulates that the water used for dental chairs should meet drinking water standards, and the total number of colonies The maximum limit is below 100CFU/ml, so it can solve the problem that the bacterial count is too high and the patient is easily infected during tooth extraction or invasive treatment, especially when the patient's immunity is weak, it is more likely to cause inflammation. In the field of dental instruments, the safety and cleanliness of the water used in the dental treatment chair is a very important design consideration.

However, current dental chairs have the following deficiencies in disinfection operations:

1. Most dental chairs require manpower to monitor the disinfectant at all times to maintain its water quality during disinfection, so it is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

2. The proportion of the disinfectant is uneven, and the concentration of the disinfectant is generally adjusted manually, so it is easy to emit a pungent odor of the disinfectant after the water is disinfected.

Therefore, the inventor of the present invention utilizes the applied Taiwan patent with the patent certificate No. M547979 entitled "Automatically Detectable Disinfection Equipment" to make more sophisticated improvements to solve the above deficiencies.

When the water is mixed with the disinfectant and has an oxidation reaction, it can be sterilized and sterilized. At this time, it is discharged from the water outlet, that is, It can obtain water that is not easy to breed bacteria or viruses, and achieve the effect of automatic detection and regulation of sterilization and disinfection of water sources.

However, the applicant of this case believes that after a period of actual use, it is found that the patent that has been applied for has room for further improvement, so further improvements are made for the application of its structure, so that the functions of automatic detection and disinfection of water sources can be applied in On the dental treatment device, it can ensure that the water source used in the operation of the dental treatment device has been automatically sterilized, and can be automatically controlled at the most appropriate disinfection concentration, without producing pungent odor, and avoiding the formation of pipelines in the dental treatment device. Biofilms in turn lead to the potential for reduced instrument performance.
