At this time, although not shown in the drawing, a position transmitter (not shown) is disposed at the operator or the unit chair 10 or the oral cavity of the patient to transmit the position information to the unit supporting unit driving units 225, 225a, 225b, a, 225b may recognize this and the length and angle may be adjusted.

The operator inputs the position coordinates to which the treatment units 220, 220a and 220b should be moved to the input unit 211 in advance and adjusts the length and angle so that the treatment units 220, 220a and 220b are moved to the set position coordinates .

On the other hand, a plurality of storage boxes 230 are coupled to the main body 210 to be openable and closable. The storage box 230 may have a multi-layer structure, and a plurality of storage boxes may be provided for each layer. The storage box 230 may be manually opened and closed, and may be automatically opened and closed.

At this time, it is difficult for a dentist performing a dental procedure to open the storage box 230 after rotating the main body 210 toward the front side of the user's own storage box 230 among the plurality of storage boxes 230. To this end, the main body 210 is provided with a storage drive unit 231. The storage box drive unit 231 can rotate the storage box 230 so that the storage box at a position designated by the dentist faces the front of the dentist.

That is, the plurality of storage boxes 230 are provided so as to be rotatable with respect to the main body 210, and the storage drive section 231 rotates the respective layers individually or all the layers at a time so that the storage box at the designated position is positioned in front of the dentist .

The storage box 230 may be provided to be opened automatically or to be opened when the user touches lightly.

Meanwhile, the self assistant device 200 according to another embodiment of the present invention may include the self-diagnosis unit 240 and the storage unit 250 to implement artificial intelligence to assist the practitioner by self-determination.

The self-diagnosis unit 240 may check the conditions required for smooth operation of the plurality of treatment units 220, 220a, and 220b coupled to the main body 210 to display an abnormality on the display unit 212, (213) so that practitioners can prepare for it.

For example, if the pressure of the air compressor connected to the air nozzle is lower than or greater than the reference pressure, it indicates an air compressor abnormality, and if the water level of the water reservoir connected to the water supply nozzle is low or the water supply pump is abnormal .

The storage unit 250 stores a treatment order DB 251 in which the use of the treatment units 220, 220a, and 220b required for various dental treatments is recorded. Also, the storage unit 250 stores a location information DB 253 in which location information of the treatment units 220, 220a, and 220b required in each treatment order is recorded.

As an example of a treatment process stored in the treatment order DB 251, a suction is performed immediately when a high handpiece is operated, a suction is turned off and returned when a high handpiece is lowered, a suction is operated when a three-way syringe is operated, The suction and the air nozzle are operated at the same time.

The positional information DB 253 stores positional information in which each of the treatment units 220, 220a, and 220b disposed above the main body 210 waits for the operator to easily operate in each of the above-described treatment procedures. For example, in the course of a high-hand piece operation, when a practitioner holds a high-hand piece, the suction is straightened and the suction is moved to a desired position so that the suction moves 10 cm above the patient's mouth The position to wait is the position information.

Since the treatment order DB 251 and the positional information DB 253 are stored in the storage unit 250 in this manner, the controller 270, which will be described later, sets the types of treatment units 220, 220a, and 220b currently used by the practitioner 220a and 220b required for the subordinate treatment process can be predicted by moving the patient in advance to the positional information that the practitioner can use. The control unit 270 determines the therapy process currently being performed by determining the treatment units 220, 220a and 220b to which the power is applied or the treatment unit driving units 223, 223a, and 223b currently being driven. Also, if you have a high-end piece, you can automatically bring it to the position where the suction is stored.

The control unit 270 refers to the treatment order DB 251 and searches for a subordinate treatment course following the senior treatment course while the practitioner performs the senior treatment course.

The practitioner treats the teeth of the patient lying on the unit chair as shown in FIG. At this time, the user treats the teeth with the wrist-wearing wireless input unit 211a worn on the wrist. If a suction is required at the time of the treatment of the teeth, the user gives an instruction with the voice "Suction". In addition, the user can apply the input signal in various ways such as motion recognition, pedal, input button, direct input.

The controller 270 controls the first unit support 221 and the first treatment unit driver 223 to move the first treatment unit 220 corresponding to the suction applied with the input signal to the user side, 225). Whereby the first treatment unit 220 is moved to the oral cavity B side of the patient, as shown in Fig.

Accordingly, the practitioner can grasp the first treatment unit 220 moved to the patient's mouth (B) and move the treatment unit 220 to a desired position, and the treatment process can be smoothly performed using the first treatment unit 220.

Here, when the first treatment unit 220 corresponding to the suction is operated, the control unit 270 refers to the treatment order DB 251 and the position information DB 253 stored in the storage unit 250, (220, 220a, 220b).

10, the control unit 270 automatically moves the third treatment unit 220c corresponding to the air nozzle required for the subordinate treatment process to a position (h) where the operator can easily operate the treatment unit, You can help the procedure to proceed without assistant to the procedure.

Even if the operator does not directly apply the driving and driving release signals during the suction of the first treatment unit 220, as shown in FIG. 9, the driving of the liquid sensing sensor 227 and the control of the controller 270 So that the operation of the operator can be assisted.

As described above, the dental self assistant device according to the present invention allows the unit support unit coupled with the treatment unit to be attached to and detached from a required position, thereby assisting the operation of the practitioner.

In addition, the dental self assistant device according to another embodiment of the present invention moves the body coupled with the treatment unit to a position desired by the practitioner to a place where the dental practitioner himself or herself needs it without assistance of a dentist or assistant. In addition, since the treatment unit is automatically or manually moved to the mouth of the patient, the dentist alone can sufficiently treat the dental treatment.

As a result, there is no need to find a suitable tide for hands and feet, which is advantageous in reducing labor costs.

In particular, by implementing the artificial intelligence function, the treatment units required for the subordinate treatment process subsequent to the priority treatment process are moved to the oral cavity position of the patient in advance to reduce the movement of the practitioner, thereby reducing the wearer's physical strength and enabling quick operation.

In addition, since a plurality of storage boxes are formed in the main body and the storage box at a position required by the practitioner is moved to the position of the practitioner, the physical strength consumption of the practitioner can be reduced and the efficiency of the procedure can be improved.
