Definitions

  • the invention relates to dental care units. Especially, the invention relates to device holder units of dental care units, in which devices needed in dental care can be stored during treatment. Most particularly, the invention relates to a device holder unit in the use of a dental assistant, which unit typically comprises a so-called suction holder unit, but is also applicable to a device holder unit in the use of a dentist.
  • the device holder units typically include arranged side by side several device-places, which comprise device holders .
  • instruments e.g. a micro motor/a turbine (a drill), a sealer, a curing unit, a syringe etc.
  • suction devices for removing saliva and byproducts of treatment from the mouth.
  • the instruments and the suction devices are connected to the central unit of the dental care unit by hoses.
  • the hoses of the suction devices are typically semi-rigid tubes, whereby they can be used for suction purpose by means of negative pressure created at the other end.
  • the hoses of the instruments can include, according to the instrument type, inter alia, water connections, air connections and electric wires.
  • the device holder unit or console is typically a device in the use of either the dental assistant or the dentist, in which one may place devices and from which they are easily taken into use for operations. Most typically, the device holders are set side by side in the holder unit.
  • an open holder refers to a holder from which the device as well as its hose can be freely removed.
  • a closed holder refers to a holder from which the device can be removed so that its hose still passes trough the holder.
  • the holders for instruments and suction devices 25 Mar 2008 have unique properties of their own, inter alia, with respect to the geometry of their holding zone and different hose thickness required by different device types.
  • the dental care units commonly include such a functionality that, when the device is removed from its holder, the dental care unit identifies removal of the device and performs some preparatory actions, e.g. starts a suction pump located downstream of the suction hose.
  • This function can be called activation.
  • the device console thus has to include detectors for detecting if the device lies in its holder or not.
  • activating a device of a dental care unit refers to a measure in which the user takes one device from the console and the dental care unit identifies this as a choice of the device. Identifying is a necessary step in case there are more than one such a device to choose which are controlled by a single control or in case activation of the device relates to some automatically starting action.
  • the identification of activation can be implemented in many different ways. Most commonly used are the following identification techniques
  • mechanical identification e.g. microswitch
  • IR optical
  • inductive or capacitive identification e.g. inductive or capacitive identification
  • Microswitch identification is based on a button, locating in the holder, which is pressed by an instrument or a suction head when being placed in the holder.
  • the microswitch can only be utilised in open holders from which the hose is removed for the duration of use. In through-rolling holders, the hoses may cause faulty identifications when hitting the microswitch. 25 Mar 2008
  • the inductive/capacitive identification is based on recognising the electric properties of the device. It functions in open as well as closed holders but requires that the device to be identified and/or its hose is especially designed for this purpose because, e.g. electrically non- conductive material cannot be detected by this method (e.g. suction heads/sealer handpieces) .
  • Prior art optical methods can only be used in open holders, since when the hose of the device rolls through a closed holder, no such substantial change occurs in the surroundings of the holder which could be reliably detectable by a light port, for example.
  • the most suitable arrangement for each device and respective device holder is always chosen according to the properties of the device and the device holder, and also taking into consideration the cost effects of the arrangement.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an improved device console for dental care units, especially for facilitating the work of dental care personnel and for enhancing the versatility of the console, and a dental care unit comprising an improved device console.
  • a device console (device holder unit) according to the invention comprises at least two device-places, which device- places are arranged such that at least two devices used in dental care, or two different device types, can be fitted in the device console.
  • Each device-place further comprises a device holder for keeping the device in place in the device console.
  • the order of the devices or device types in the device console is changeable and the device 25 Mar 2008 holder unit comprises means for identifying the device set in the device-place, or its type, when the device is set in the holder. The identification of the device/device type is performed especially by means of optical sensors capable of colour separation.
  • the device console comprises e.g. a housing and several device holders connected to the housing, whereby means for identifying devices and/or device types set in the device-places are located in the housing to observe the device-places.
  • said means can transmit a new device order of the console from the device console to the control of the dental care unit.
  • said means can transmit an activation signal to the control.
  • a dental care unit comprises at least one device console as well as a central unit in which device hoses for using devices needed in dental care, to be set in the device holders of the device console, are connected.
  • Said device hoses and their respective device holders are typically designed for at least two different device types, such as suction devices and instruments, to be connected to the dental care unit.
  • the device console comprises means for identifying the device, or its type, set in the device-place when the device is set in the holder.
  • identification of the device or its type is based on a specific colour identifier (or lack of a colour identifier) placed in the device or especially preferably in the device hose.
  • the identifier is a colour code arranged to the end of the device hose close to the device, i.e. it is arranged to an area which remains inside or in proximity of the device holder when the device lies in its place.
  • a sensor capable of colour separation is used as identification means, such as a 25 Mar 2008 light source - detector configuration utilising two or several different wavelength ranges. The sensor is located in the device holder unit such that light emitted by the light source/sources is arranged to reflect or scatter from the device set in the device holder, or from its hose, to the detector.
  • the colour identifier is e.g. on the suction hoses, there is no need to use a separate identifier in the instrument hoses.
  • the invention thus enables identification of not only the device type order but also the order of individual devices.
  • the identifier is most preferably local, whereby it is detected only when the device lies still in its holder. Contrary to e.g. a light port or a mechanical switch, such an identification arrangement is also applicable to be used in the case of closed device holders, because the change in activation mode is detected when the hose is being pulled out (the identifier exits from the vicinity of the sensor) .
  • the device holders are detachable from the housing, whereby there are arranged in the housing means for receiving device holders re- detachably.
  • identification of the device type prevents changing of the device order in the console leading to an incorrect activation identification signal and thus to an incorrect activation of a device.
  • means according to the invention for identifying the type of a device set in the device holder is applicable for identifying at the same time if the device is in its place in the holder or removed from it. Therefore, no separate activation identifiers are needed.
  • the term 'device type' primarily refers to the division commonly used in dental care for separating suction devices and instruments. After reading a detailed description of the invention, those skilled in the art understand that the invention can be applied more extensively also in the case of other divisions of device types. Furthermore, the invention can also be used for identifying individual devices in the device console (e.g. for distinguishing two instruments of the same type, such as two turbines, from each other) .
  • suction devices are almost always set in closed device holders, because the quite rigid hoses of them may thus be kept under better control during treatment.
  • Above-described deficiencies relating to identification technique have, nevertheless, limited changing the placing order of devices in the console.
  • By means of different embodiments of the invention especially this deficiency related to prior art can be eliminated.
  • More generally, it also provides an advantage in instrument 25 Mar 2008 consoles which are used by the dentist.
  • typical instruments of the dentist such as a drill, a syringe, a dental imaging camera, a UV curer or corresponding special instruments, can be handled totally as device types of their own.
  • An optical sensor capable of colour separation refers here primarily to a sensor which is capable of spectrally separating surfaces of different colours, i.e. at least two surfaces of different colours, from each other. Such a sensor thus utilises, in addition to the intensity of a reflected or scattered ray, also information on the spectral intensity distribution of the ray.

  • a reflection does not separate the devices from each other as their level of gloss-level may vary quite freely.
  • the simultaneous identification of the device type and activation mode is not attained in closed holders: a reflection would occur regardless whether the hose as a whole lies in the holder or is pulled out. 25 Mar 2008
  • An applicable detector can be manufactured in many different ways.
