[0026] Example:
[0027] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present invention provides an oral cavity opening adjustment device for dental examination, including a fixed frame 1 and a measuring component.

[0029] like Figure 5 As shown, the movable seat 40 is connected to the connecting frame 35 via a hydraulic rod. The output end of the connecting frame 35 is connected to the connecting frame 35. Both ends of the connecting frame 35 are connected to the movable frame 32. The pneumatic rod 36 and the movable seat 40 are eccentrically connected to a protruding button at the hinge point. The protruding button is locked in the movable frame 32.
[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, a movable block 30 is hinged to the free end of the pneumatic rod 36. A connecting rod 38 is passed through the movable block 30. A connecting plate 43 is connected to the free end of each of the two connecting rods 38. A directional rod 41 and a directional sleeve 42 are respectively connected to the opposite ends of the two connecting plates 43. The directional rod 41 passes through the directional sleeve 42.
[0031] like Figure 5 As shown, the free ends of the two connecting rods 38 are respectively connected to a shaping clamp 37 and a moving brush 39. A soft strip is clamped inside the shaping clamp 37, and the moving brush 39 and the shaping clamp 37 are arranged in the same vertical direction.
[0032] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a groove 3 is provided on the inner side of the front end of the fixed frame 1, and a pad 22 is connected to the rear end of the fixed frame 1 by an elastic rope 7. A crossbeam 16 is provided at the front end of the fixed frame 1, and a fixing groove 2 is provided at the bottom end of the crossbeam 16. A fixing component is provided in the fixing groove 2.
[0033] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the fixing component includes a swing rod 20 that is rotatably locked in the fixing groove 2. A torsion spring is provided between the swing rod 20 and the fixing groove 2. The torsion spring is wound in the direction of the groove 3. A slider 14 is slidably locked inside the swing rod 20. A fixing plate 13 is connected to one end of the slider 14 near the groove 3.
[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, a guide window 17 is provided at the top of the swing arm 20, and guide wheels 10 are rotatably locked at both ends of the guide window 17. A traction rope 11 is connected to the top of the slider 14, and the traction rope 11 is locked on the outside of the guide wheel 10. A side groove 15 is provided on the outside of the swing arm 20, and a drive plate 12 is slidably locked in the side groove 15. The free end of the traction rope 11 is connected to the top of the drive plate 12. A guide block 18 is connected to the top of the side groove 15, and the bottom end of the guide block 18 is connected to the drive plate 12 through a spring 19.
[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a knob 26 is rotatably mounted on the top of any rotating seat 29. The inner side of the knob 26 is screwed to the screw 21. A connecting block 8 is provided on the outer side of the fixed frame 1. A drive frame 24 is connected to one side of the connecting block 8 via a telescopic rod 25. A guide button 28 is eccentrically connected to the outer side of the rotating seat 29 on the same side. The guide button 28 is slidably mounted in the drive frame 24.
[0036] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a pair of directional grooves 23 are provided on the outer side of both the screw 21 and the slide rod 6. The screw 21 and the slide rod 6 are slidably locked in the through hole 27 through the directional grooves 23. The top of the slide rod 6 is connected to an end block 5.
[0037] The fixation component, together with the fixation frame, secures the entire device to the patient's face. By adjusting the position of the components within the fixation component, the fixation plate can be fastened to the patient's maxillary teeth. Then, the longitudinal rod opens the patient's mandible, thus providing oral cavity opening angle support. When the position of the fixation plate needs to be adjusted according to the patient's maxillary position, the fixation plate is manually lowered, causing the end of the fixation plate with the slider to slide along the inner side of the swing rod. At this time, the drive plate connected to the top of the slider via the traction rope will move upward simultaneously. This causes the traction rope to move along the guide wheels at both ends of the guide window, compressing the spring between the drive plate and the guide block, moving the fixation plate to the bottom of the patient's maxillary teeth. Then, the fixation plate is released, and it will return to its original position under the spring force to fasten to the patient's maxillary teeth. Simultaneously, the torsion spring between the swing rod and the fixation slot will keep the swing rod close to the patient's maxillary to ensure the support effect.
[0038] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:
[0039] The measuring component in this invention can measure the external shape of the patient's teeth and simultaneously attach it to the soft strip inside the shaping clip 37. Then, an occlusal block is placed along the extension direction of the soft strip and attached to the patient's lower jaw teeth. Finally, the occlusal block is pulled by the fixing block 4, which, together with the fixing frame 1, assists in opening the patient's mouth for fixation. Before using the measuring component, the fixing frame 1 is first fixed to the patient's face using the fixing component. Then, the knob 26, which is mounted on the top of the rotating seat 29, is rotated. Since the inner side of the knob 26 is screwed to the screw 21, and the screw 21 is slidably mounted in the through-hole via the directional groove 23... Inside the hole 27, the screw 21 moves along its axis under the drive of the knob 26. As the screw 21 moves, it drives the guide rail 34, connected to the longitudinal rod 9 and the fixing block 4, to move vertically. Simultaneously, the slide rod 6 at the other end of the guide rail 34 keeps it horizontal until the guide rail 34 moves to the vicinity of the patient's jaw. At this point, the hydraulic rod can be extended or retracted. Since the output end of the hydraulic rod is connected to the connecting frame 35, the moving frame 32 connected to both ends of the connecting frame 35 will drive the inner protrusion button to move, causing the pneumatic rod 36 containing the protrusion button to move along its hinge with the moving seat 40. The joint rotates, driving the connecting rod 38 through the pneumatic rod 36 to move the moving block 30 until the moving brush 39 at the free end of one of the connecting rods 38 contacts the outer side of the patient's mandibular teeth. At this time, the motor on the moving seat 40 is activated, which drives the roller 31 to move the moving seat 40 along the guide rail 34. The hydraulic rod pressure is maintained to keep the moving brush 39 in contact with the outer side of the patient's mandibular teeth. Since the moving brush 39 and the shaping clamp 37 are set in the same vertical direction, the moving seat 40 moves along the guide rail 34, causing the shaping clamp 37 to shape the soft strip. After shaping is completed... Move the movable seat 40 out of the device along the open side of the guide rail 34. At this time, fix the soft strip to the bottom of the guide rail 34. Similarly, adjust the height of the vertical rod 9 so that the guide rail 34 moves to the vicinity of the patient's lower jaw. Secure the soft strip to the patient's lower teeth. Then, extend and retract the telescopic rod 25 set on the outside of the drive block 8. The telescopic rod 25 will drive the drive frame 24 connected to its output end to move along its axis. The drive frame 24 will drive the guide button 28 locked on its inner side to move. Finally, the rotating seat 29 where the guide button 28 is located will drive the vertical rod 9 to rotate, so as to adjust and fix the opening angle of the patient's mouth.The measuring component in this invention can measure the external shape of the patient's teeth and simultaneously attach it to the soft strip inside the shaping clip 37. Then, an occlusal block is placed along the extension direction of the soft strip and attached to the patient's lower jaw teeth. Finally, the occlusal block is pulled by the fixing block 4, which, together with the fixing frame 1, assists in opening the patient's mouth for fixation. Before using the measuring component, the fixing frame 1 is first fixed to the patient's face using the fixing component. Then, the knob 26, which is mounted on the top of the rotating seat 29, is rotated. Since the inner side of the knob 26 is screwed to the screw 21, and the screw 21 is slidably mounted in the through-hole via the directional groove 23... Inside the hole 27, the screw 21 moves along its axis under the drive of the knob 26. As the screw 21 moves, it drives the guide rail 34, connected to the longitudinal rod 9 and the fixing block 4, to move vertically. Simultaneously, the slide rod 6 at the other end of the guide rail 34 keeps it horizontal until the guide rail 34 moves to the vicinity of the patient's jaw. At this point, the hydraulic rod can be extended or retracted. Since the output end of the hydraulic rod is connected to the connecting frame 35, the moving frame 32 connected to both ends of the connecting frame 35 will drive the inner protrusion button to move, causing the pneumatic rod 36 containing the protrusion button to move along its hinge with the moving seat 40. The joint rotates, driving the connecting rod 38 through the pneumatic rod 36 to move the moving block 30 until the moving brush 39 at the free end of one of the connecting rods 38 contacts the outer side of the patient's mandibular teeth. At this time, the motor on the moving seat 40 is activated, which drives the roller 31 to move the moving seat 40 along the guide rail 34. The hydraulic rod pressure is maintained to keep the moving brush 39 in contact with the outer side of the patient's mandibular teeth. Since the moving brush 39 and the shaping clamp 37 are set in the same vertical direction, the moving seat 40 moves along the guide rail 34, causing the shaping clamp 37 to shape the soft strip. After shaping is completed... Move the movable seat 40 out of the device along the open side of the guide rail 34. At this time, fix the soft strip to the bottom of the guide rail 34. Similarly, adjust the height of the vertical rod 9 so that the guide rail 34 moves to the vicinity of the patient's lower jaw. Secure the soft strip to the patient's lower teeth. Then, extend and retract the telescopic rod 25 set on the outside of the drive block 8. The telescopic rod 25 will drive the drive frame 24 connected to its output end to move along its axis. The drive frame 24 will drive the guide button 28 locked on its inner side to move. Finally, the rotating seat 29 where the guide button 28 is located will drive the vertical rod 9 to rotate, so as to adjust and fix the opening angle of the patient's mouth.
