Dental Vacuum

dental air compressor vacuum unit /

The present invention relates to a water ring vacuum pump and combined dental air compressor , both mounted in a single enclosure. The vacuum pump is mounted in the base of the cabinet, dental compressor is mounted on a platform suspended vibration isolated from the top of the cabinet and the motor driving the compressor is attached to the underside of platform support. A water pipe connecting the heat exchanger air to the vacuum ring.

BACKGROUND OF THE dental air compressor

The present invention relates to an apparatus for use in dental offices and other, namely an independent unit providing both vacuum and compressed air needs of the dental office.

Until now, dental compressors and vacuum pumps required by the dentist are usually purchased separately and installed in some location so that the subsoil. appropriate utility lines, and then connected the compressor and vacuum pump with one or more dental operatories. The vibration noise of the air compressor without oil is particularly a problem, requiring that the compressor is installed outside the dental laboratory. Vibration noise of the vacuum pump, especially the water ring pump, are minimal

The present invention overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art by combining a vacuum pump water cycle, a compressor and a tank of compressed air storage in a single box that takes up minimal space on the ground. To save floor space, the vacuum, the motor driving the compressor and the compressor are arranged one above the other in the cabinet. This provision allows a simple, relatively free of vibration mounting compressor with means for adjusting the tension of drive belts, and also allows integration of the water system for cooling the compressed air and operation of the vacuum ring.

SUMMARY OF THE dental air compressor

The present invention can be characterized in one aspect thereof by a generally firm stand, water pump with a vacuum ring mounted in the base of it and a compressor mounted on a platform suspended from the top side cabinet. The suspension platform is not rigid and is therefore able to absorb the vibrations produced by the compressor. The motor driving the compressor is mounted on the underside of the platform means to move the engine towards the platform to adjust the tension in belt drive compressor.
