Patent Description:
The present disclosure relates to the field of root canal treatment equipment, in particular, to an endo motor and a control method of endo motor.

In root canal treatment technology, one step is to prepare the root canal. In the process of root canal preparation, different nickel-titanium files need to be replaced to prepare the root canal, wherein the parameters such as the rotation speed or torque required by different nickel-titanium files are different.

At present, two methods are applied to adjust the parameters of the file: one is to directly adjust the parameters such as rotation speed or torque to the required parameters; the other is to preset the parameters of various file systems inside the machine, and adjust to the specific file system when needed. These two methods cannot avoid manual adjustment. When the number of parameters is large or the number of preset file systems is large, adjusting to the required parameters or file systems will be cumbersome. For example, <CIT> discloses method and device for programming a cordless handpiece for root canal treatment; <CIT> discloses a safe endodontic treatment device; <CIT> discloses a tool RFID recognition system for dental devices; and <CIT> discloses a root canal motor device.

The purpose of the present disclosure includes, for example, providing an endo motor and a control method of the endo motor, which can solve the problems of low efficiency and cumbersome operation when setting different working statuses for the endo motor.

Referring to <FIG> show the structure of the endo motor in the embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment provides an endo motor <NUM>, wherein the endo motor <NUM> includes a root canal handle <NUM>, a root canal file <NUM>, a motor and a first near field communication device <NUM>.

Both the motor and the root canal file <NUM> are connected to the root canal handle <NUM>; the motor is configured to drive the root canal file <NUM> to rotate; and the first near field communication device <NUM> is electrically connected to the motor.

The first near field communication device <NUM> is configured to control the motor according to external information <NUM>.

The working principle of the endo motor <NUM> is as follows.

The endo motor <NUM> includes a root canal handle <NUM>, a root canal file <NUM>, a motor and a first near field communication device <NUM>, wherein both the motor and the root canal file <NUM> are connected to the root canal handle <NUM>; the motor is configured to drive the root canal file <NUM> to rotate. The first near field communication device <NUM> is electrically connected to the motor, wherein the first near field communication device <NUM> is configured to control the motor according to external information <NUM>.

Since the first near field communication device <NUM> can control the motor according to the external information <NUM>, and the motor can drive the root canal file <NUM> to rotate, the working status of the motor can be adjusted through the first near field communication device <NUM> by changing the external information <NUM>, as a result, the working status of the endo motor <NUM> is adjusted. Such an adjustment method can simplify the steps of adjusting the working status of the endo motor <NUM>, and improve the operation efficiency of the endo motor <NUM>, thereby making the endo motor <NUM> easy to use.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the first near field communication device <NUM> is an NFC sensor or an RFID radio frequency sensor.

The first near field communication device <NUM> can include an induction module <NUM> and a control module, wherein the induction module <NUM> is electrically connected to the control module. The induction module <NUM> is configured to sense external information <NUM> and generate induction signal, and the control module is configured to receive the induction signal and control the motor according to the induction signal.

Based on the above, according to the invention, the external information <NUM> includes a plurality of external electronic induction tags <NUM>, and the induction module <NUM> is configured to sense any one of the external electronic induction tags <NUM> and generate an induction signal, wherein the control module is configured to control the motor according to the induction signal. It should be noted that after induction module <NUM> senses each external electronic induction tag <NUM> and generates an induction signal, the work status of the motor controlled by the control module according to the induction signal varies, that is, the motor has multiple working statuses under the control of the first near field communication device <NUM> and each external electronic induction tag <NUM> corresponds to one of the working statuses. After the induction module <NUM> senses one of the external electronic induction tags <NUM> and generates an induction signal, the control module controls the motor to work in corresponding working status according to the induction signal. Thus, by switching different external electronic induction tags <NUM> to be sensed by the induction module <NUM>, the working status of the motor can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the working parameters of the root canal file <NUM>, so that the endo motor <NUM> can quickly switch working status.

Moreover, this status switching method adopts different external electronic induction tags <NUM> to be sensed by the induction module <NUM>. The switching process is simple and convenient, which can simplify the operation steps, thereby improving the user's operation efficiency, and making the endo motor <NUM> convenient to be used.

Optionally, referring to <FIG>, in this embodiment, when configuring a plurality of external electronic induction tags <NUM>, the induction module <NUM> can be connected to the root canal handle <NUM>, so as to facilitate the induction between the external electronic induction tags <NUM> and the induction module <NUM>. Along the extension direction of the root canal handle <NUM>, the induction module <NUM> and the root canal file <NUM> are respectively located at two ends of the root canal handle <NUM>.

Therefore, when the user operates the root canal handle <NUM>, the control of the motor can be completed by making the root canal handle <NUM> move and sensing one of the external electronic induction tags <NUM>. When the endo motor <NUM> is in the working status corresponding with one of the external electronic induction tags <NUM>, the working status of the endo motor <NUM> can be switched through the induction between the root canal handle <NUM> and other external electronic induction tags <NUM>, and the working status is adjusted correspondingly to other external electronic induction tags <NUM>.

It should be noted that, with such configuration mode, the external electronic induction tag <NUM> can be connected to the base <NUM>, and the induction module <NUM> is connected to the root canal handle <NUM>, thus the spatial position of the induction module <NUM> will be changed along with the movement of the root canal handle <NUM>. Because the position of the base <NUM> is fixed, the position of the external electronic induction tag <NUM> connected to the base <NUM> will not change during use, and therefore, when adjusting the working status of the endo motor <NUM>, the adjustment of the working status of the endo motor <NUM> can be accomplished by moving the root canal handle <NUM>, thereby simplifying the operation steps and making the endo motor <NUM> easy to use.

Optionally, in other embodiments of the present disclosure, the endo motor <NUM> can further include a second near field communication device communicatively connected to the first near field communication device <NUM>, wherein the first near field communication device <NUM> is configured to control the motor based on the information output by the second near field communication device. Since the endo motor <NUM> includes a base <NUM>, the second near field communication device can be connected to the base <NUM> or built in other mobile communication devices, such as a mobile phone, according to the needs of use.

In such configuration mode, the external information received by the first near field communication device <NUM> is sent by the second near field communication device. Since the first near field communication device <NUM> can be communicatively connected with the second near field communication device, controlling the second near field communication device to send information to the first near field communication device <NUM> can accomplish the control of the motor. It should be noted that when the second near field communication device is connected to the base <NUM>, a control system can be provided on the base <NUM> as well, wherein the control system includes a display and a controller electrically connected to the display. Therefore, the control system can control the second near field communication device to send information to the first near field communication device <NUM>, thereby achieving the control of the motor. Optionally, in other embodiments of the present disclosure, the endo motor <NUM> further includes a base <NUM>, wherein the induction module <NUM> can also be connected to the base <NUM>. With such configuration mode, when the user uses the endo motor <NUM>, since the induction module <NUM> is connected to the base <NUM>, and the base <NUM> is relatively fixed, the position of the induction module <NUM> is unchanged, when the user uses the endo motor <NUM>. At this time, the user can operate the external electronic induction tags <NUM> to make one of them move towards the direction close to the base <NUM> and be sensed by the induction module <NUM>.

Optionally, referring to <FIG> and <FIG>. In other embodiments of the present disclosure, when configuring multiple external electronic induction tags <NUM>, in order to facilitate the induction between the external electronic induction tags <NUM> and the induction module <NUM>, the induction module <NUM> can be connected with the root canal handle <NUM>. The endo motor <NUM> also includes a plurality of label cards <NUM>, wherein each label card <NUM> is provided with an external electronic induction tag <NUM>.

Optionally, in other embodiments of the present disclosure, the endo motor <NUM> also includes a base <NUM>, wherein the induction module <NUM> can also be connected to the base <NUM>. The endo motor <NUM> further includes a plurality of label cards <NUM>, each label card <NUM> is provided with an external electronic induction tag <NUM>.

That is, the induction module <NUM> can be provided on the base <NUM>, and a plurality of external electronic induction tags <NUM> can be arranged to a plurality of label cards <NUM> in one-to-one correspondence. As a result, the user can operate one of the label cards <NUM>, so as to make one of the label cards <NUM> and the induction module <NUM> on the base <NUM> move close to each other, such that the induction module <NUM> senses the external electronic induction tag <NUM> on the label card <NUM>, to complete the control of the motor. When the endo motor <NUM> is in a working status corresponding to one of the external electronic induction tags <NUM>, by the induction between the external electronic induction tags <NUM> on the other label cards <NUM> and the induction module <NUM> on the base <NUM>, the working status of the endo motor <NUM> can be switched to the working status corresponding to other external electronic induction tags <NUM>. It should be noted that, in such configuration mode, since the external electronic induction tag <NUM> is arranged on the label card <NUM>, and the label card <NUM> can be in a card structure, the spatial position of the external electronic induction tag <NUM> can be changed by operating the label card <NUM>, such that the working status of the endo motor <NUM> can be flexibly adjusted.

It should be noted that, referring to <FIG> shows the structure of the first near field communication device in other embodiments of the present disclosure. In other embodiments of the present disclosure, the external electronic induction tag <NUM> can also be provided in other mobile terminals <NUM>, such as a mobile phone. The induction method thereof is the same as what mentioned above, which will not be repeated herein.

Referring to <FIG>, <FIG> shows the steps of the control method of the endo motor <NUM> in the embodiment of the present disclosure. Based on the above content, the present disclosure provides a control method of the endo motor <NUM>, and the steps of the control method of the endo motor <NUM> include:.

The principle of the control method of endo motor <NUM> is as follow.

Since the first near field communication device <NUM> can control the motor according to the external information <NUM>, and the motor can drive the root canal file <NUM> to rotate, the working status of the motor can be adjusted by the first near field communication device <NUM> by changing the external information <NUM>, thereby adjusting the working status of the endo motor <NUM>. Such adjustment method can simplify the steps of adjusting the working status of the endo motor <NUM>, and improve the operation efficiency of the endo motor <NUM>, thus making the endo motor <NUM> easy to use.

Specifically, the external information <NUM> includes the second near field communication device or a plurality of external electronic induction tags <NUM>, and the induction module <NUM> is configured to sense the second near field communication device or any one of the external electronic induction tags <NUM> and generate an induction signal. The control module is configured to control the motor based on the induction signal. Moreover, the motor has multiple working statuses under the control by the first near field communication device <NUM>, and each external electronic induction tag <NUM> corresponds to one of the working statuses. Therefore, after one of the external electronic induction tags <NUM> is sensed by the induction module <NUM> and the induction signal is generated, the control module controls the motor to work in a corresponding working status according to the induction signal. Thus, by switching different external electronic induction tags <NUM> to be sensed by the induction module <NUM>, the working status of the motor can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the working parameters of the root canal file <NUM>, so that the working status of the endo motor <NUM> can be quickly switched.
