  • Patent number: 10702360
    Abstract: A filter unit for a conventional suction system of dental equipment is proposed. It consists of a disposable filter and a connecting module fixed to the suction system. The connecting module removably connects the disposable filter to the system, and includes—an inlet pipe passing a water flow and solid contents from the system, —an outlet pipe returning the water flow into the system, —a hole communicating with the inlet pipe, —a pipe projection communicating with the outlet pipe, and—fixing slots. The filter includes—a container collecting the solid contents, —a cover including inlet and outlet holes and provided with fixing projections removably engaged with the fixing slots, and—a lock-fixer rotatably mounted within the cover. It allows for removable connecting the filter to the system, which significantly improves convenience of servicing the system, safety and sanitary protection of dental personnel.

  • Patent number: 10619339
    Abstract: A sewage treatment device includes a stirring structure, a filter box, a tank filter, and a detection structure which are connected in sequence. Conveying pipelines are connected to an exterior of the stirring structure to convey sewage to an interior of the stirring structure. First water pumps are connected to the conveying pipelines to provide conveying power. An upper-layer stirrer assembly, a lower-layer stirrer assembly and a rotating shaft configured to install the upper-layer stirrer assembly and the lower-layer stirrer assembly are arranged in the interior of the stirring structure. A lifting driving cylinder drives the upper-layer stirrer assembly and the lower-layer stirrer assembly to move up and down. The upper-layer stirrer assembly includes an engaging block axially engaged with the rotating shaft and stirring blades arranged around the periphery of the engaging block at equal intervals.
