Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an oral cleaning appliance, in particular to a phlegm and tongue coating scraping device. Background Art

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine diagnoses the patient's condition by observing the color, size and flexibility of the tongue, as well as the thickness and color of the tongue coating. Too thick tongue coating can affect the patient's sense of taste, easily cause bacterial infection, cause bad breath or oral diseases such as periodontitis. Scraping phlegm and turbid tongue coating is an auxiliary operation in the diagnosis and treatment process of traditional Chinese medicine. By scraping the phlegm and turbid substances on the tongue coating, it is helpful to observe the true condition of the tongue coating and analyze and judge the condition. At the same time, scraping too thick phlegm and turbid tongue coating can improve oral hygiene and reduce oral odor and infection. At present, tongue depressors or scrapers are mainly used. Patients need to actively extend their tongues, and medical staff press the patient's tongue, scrape from the root of the tongue to the tip of the tongue, and scrape 2 to 3 times repeatedly to scrape off the phlegm and oil substances on the surface of the tongue. The operation should be gentle to avoid excessive force to damage the tongue. At the same time, the patient's cooperation is required to be high. The discomfort during scraping is very obvious, the operation is cumbersome, and the scraping effect is poor. When encountering young, elderly, or patients who are not conscious or have sensitive senses, the patient's cooperation is very poor if they feel a little uncomfortable, and the scraping effect is very poor. In addition, for some long-term bedridden patients, especially those who are not conscious, because there is no convenient and effective cleaning tool, they do not clean their mouth for a long time, which is easy to cause oral problems and further increase the pain of the patients. Summary of the invention

[0003] Purpose of the invention: The purpose of the present invention is to reduce the discomfort of patients during tongue coating scraping, lower the requirements for patient cooperation, and improve the efficiency of scraping, and to provide a phlegm and turbid tongue coating scraping device.

The scraping mechanism is rotatably connected to the support seat, driving the scraping mechanism to move forward and backward, up and down, or left and right, further improving the matching degree with the patient and the comfort of the patient during the treatment process.

[0006] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism includes a first fixed plate connected to the first rotating shaft, the second fixed plate passes through the sliding rod and slides up and down and is arranged above the first fixed plate, a first guide rod and a second guide rod are arranged parallel to the first fixed plate and the second fixed plate, and the ends of the first guide rod and the second guide rod are provided with a first supporting block and a second supporting block that cooperate with each other to clamp the tongue; the sliding rod is provided with two, and a limit block is provided on the top of the two sliding rods, and a limit spring is provided on the two sliding rods and between the limit block and the second fixed plate to keep the first supporting block and the second supporting block in a clamped state; a separation component is provided between the limit block and the second fixed plate to drive the first fixed plate to separate from the second fixed plate and thereby separate the first supporting block and the second supporting block; the separation component includes a first handle arranged at the top of the second fixed plate and a second handle connected to the two limit blocks, and the first handle is arranged in parallel below the second handle. When not in use, the first and second holding blocks are kept in a clamped state under the action of the limit spring. When in use, the operator gently tightens the two handles to compress the limit springs, so that the holding blocks are separated and placed above and below the patient's tongue. The holding blocks clamp the patient's tongue by loosening the handles, which is easy to operate. During the scraping process, the patient does not need to stick out his tongue all the time, which reduces the patient's discomfort.

[0007] Furthermore, the opposite end faces of the first supporting block and the second supporting block are arranged to be arc-shaped to enhance the patient's comfort, which is more in line with ergonomic requirements, avoids pain and other discomfort to the patient during the clamping process, and further enhances the patient's comfort.

[0008] Furthermore, the first guide rod and the second guide rod are respectively passed through the first fixed plate and the second fixed plate for sliding connection; a first synchronous displacement assembly is arranged at one end of the first guide rod and the second guide rod away from the first supporting block and the second supporting block, and the synchronous displacement assembly includes a first stop block and a second stop block respectively fixedly connected to the first guide rod and the second guide rod, and a guide column connecting the first stop block and the second stop block, and a limit plate is arranged on the top of the guide column to make the operation more convenient and the clamping more stable, thereby preventing repeated adjustments from causing discomfort to the patient.

[0009] Furthermore, two first guide rods and two second guide rods are provided, which play a better guiding role during the movement of the supporting block and facilitate operation.

[0010] Furthermore, the scraping mechanism includes a third fixed plate connected to the second rotating shaft, a third guide rod slidably arranged on the third fixed plate, and a detachable scraping roller arranged at the end of the third guide rod. The scraping roller can be disassembled for easy replacement and cleaning.

[0011] Furthermore, two third guide rods are provided, and a second synchronous displacement assembly is provided at one end of the two third guide rods away from the scraping roller, so as to play a better guiding role during the movement of the scraping roller and facilitate operation.

[0012] Furthermore, the support seat is slidably provided with two support plates, and the front end of the bottom of the support plate is provided with an arc groove for improving the comfort of the patient. The fixing point of the support seat can be adjusted according to the size of the patient, thereby improving the application range of the device.

[0013] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following significant advantages: 1. The tongue is fixed during operation, and the rotating operating lever can adjust the tongue fixing angle and scraping angle in multiple directions to improve the cleaning efficiency; 2. The tongue is fixed so that the cleaning efficiency is no longer dependent on the patient's cooperation, and can be applied to the elderly, children, or patients with unclear consciousness or sensitive senses, thereby improving the applicability of the device; 3. The detachable scraping roller is easy to clean and replace; 4. The adjustable support frame improves the convenience of fixing the device, has a simple structure, is easy to operate, greatly improves the patient's comfort, and has good application prospects.
