Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of oral technology, and in particular to a teeth whitening device. Background Art

[0002] At present, the main methods of teeth whitening include cold light teeth whitening, laser teeth whitening, ultrasonic teeth cleaning, etc. Cold light teeth whitening is the latest teeth whitening technology that is popular in Europe and the United States. It has just started in China. It can not only remove the pigmentation on the surface of the teeth, but also penetrate deep into the teeth to achieve the effect of discoloration. According to clinical experiments, the use of Rinover cold light teeth whitening technology can improve the effect by 5-14 vita color levels, which is not only better than similar products, but also more than 30% higher than the whitening effect of home braces. In addition, the operation process only takes 30 minutes, has no side effects, and the whitening effect can last for more than two years.

[0003] The principle of cold light teeth whitening device is to transmit high-intensity blue light with a wavelength between 480-520nm through the optical lens treated with coating, which isolates all harmful ultraviolet and infrared rays, and irradiates the special whitening agent applied to the teeth. In the shortest time, the whitening agent can pass through the dentinal tubules and produce redox reaction with the pigments deposited on the surface and deep layers of the teeth for many years, so that the teeth return to the whiteness before staining. This whitening technology not only has a whitening effect on long-term tooth staining due to smoking, drinking coffee and other beverages, but also has a good effect on drug-induced tooth discoloration (tetracycline teeth, fluorosis teeth), old age or hereditary yellow teeth. However, in the existing teeth whitening devices, the light source plate is integrally formed on the braces of the whitening device, which makes the disassembly and assembly of the whitening device very inconvenient.

[0030] The invention provides a teeth whitening device.

[0031] See also Figure 1 The present invention proposes a teeth whitening device 300, including a mounting bracket 100 and a light source panel assembly 200, wherein the mounting bracket 100 includes an arc-shaped portion 110 adapted to human teeth, and two mounting portions 130 respectively arranged on both sides of the arc-shaped portion 110; the light source panel assembly 200 is detachably connected to the two mounting portions 130.

[0032] In an embodiment of the present invention, in order to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the teeth whitening device 300, the teeth whitening device 300 is provided in a split configuration. Specifically, the teeth whitening device 300 includes a detachably connected mounting bracket 100 and a light source panel assembly 200, wherein the mounting bracket 100 is mainly used to mount the light source panel assembly 200 to prevent the light source panel assembly 200 from directly contacting the teeth; the light source panel assembly 200 is mainly used to emit blue light. When using the teeth whitening device 300, the arc-shaped portion 110 of the mounting bracket 100 can be inserted into the human mouth to open the lips, and then the light source panel assembly 200 can be installed on the two mounting portions 130, and a certain distance can be left between the light source panel assembly 200 and the human teeth, thereby effectively preventing the light source panel assembly 200 from directly contacting the human teeth.

[0033] For the convenience of molding, the mounting bracket 100 can be integrally formed. Of course, the mounting bracket 100 can also be split, which is not specifically limited here. The arc portion 110 is an arc-shaped groove structure protruding toward the side close to the mounting portion 130, and the two mounting portions 130 are symmetrically arranged about the arc portion 110, which is conducive to improving the connection stability between the mounting bracket 100 and the light source panel assembly 200.

[0034] There are many ways to detachably connect the light source panel assembly 200 and the mounting portion 130. For example, in one embodiment, the light source panel assembly 200 is connected to the mounting portion 130 by snapping; in another embodiment, the light source panel assembly 200 is connected to the mounting portion 130 by magnetic attraction. Of course, it is understandable that in another embodiment, the light source panel assembly 200 is connected to the mounting portion 130 by screws.

[0035] The teeth whitening device 300 of the present invention includes a mounting bracket 100 and a light source panel assembly 200. The mounting bracket 100 includes an arc-shaped portion 110 adapted to human teeth, and two mounting portions 130 respectively arranged on both sides of the arc-shaped portion 110; the light source panel assembly 200 is detachably connected to the two mounting portions 130, so that the teeth whitening device 300 is very convenient to disassemble and assemble, and it is convenient for users to inspect and replace the light source panel assembly 200. At the same time, when using the teeth whitening device 300, the arc-shaped portion 110 of the mounting bracket 100 can be first placed in the human mouth, the lips can be spread open, and then the light source panel assembly 200 can be installed on the mounting portion 130 of the mounting bracket 100. In this way, the light source panel assembly 200 can be prevented from directly contacting the teeth, so that the light source panel assembly 200 will not be dirty, which is convenient for the user's next use; in addition, since a certain distance is left between the light source panel assembly 200 and the teeth, the blue light emitted by the light source panel assembly 200 will be more evenly irradiated on each tooth, thereby improving the uniformity of tooth whitening and achieving an all-round whitening effect without dead ends.

[0036] The following will take the engagement connection between the light source panel assembly 200 and the mounting portion 130 as an example for detailed description.

[0037] See also Figure 1 In one embodiment, a clamping member 140 is disposed on the mounting portion 130 , and a clamping groove 223 for inserting the clamping member 140 is disposed on the light source panel assembly 200 .

[0038] In this embodiment, the clamping member 140 is a buckle. The buckle is arranged in an L shape. Specifically, the buckle includes a hook extending in the up-down direction and a connecting rod connecting the hook and the mounting portion 130. Here, the up-down direction refers to the extension direction of the hook when the teeth whitening device 300 is in use, that is, the extension direction of the hook when the arc-shaped portion 110 of the mounting bracket 100 is extended into a person's mouth. In this way, by providing a hook extending in the up-down direction, the light source panel assembly 200 can be easily installed on the mounting bracket 100, which conforms to people's operating habits.

[0039] For the convenience of description, the two mounting parts 130 can be defined as a left mounting part 130 and a right mounting part 130, respectively. At the same time, the buckle provided on the left mounting part 130 is defined as a left buckle 141, and the buckle provided on the right mounting part 130 is positioned as a right buckle 142. The left buckle 141 is located on a side of the left mounting part 130 away from the right mounting part 130, and the right buckle 142 is located on a side of the right mounting part 130 away from the left mounting part 130. In this way, the left buckle 141 and the right buckle 142 will not interfere with the blue light emitted by the teeth whitening device 300.

[0040] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The hook of the left buckle 141 extends upward from one end of the connecting rod of the left buckle 141, and the hook of the right buckle 142 extends upward from one end of the connecting rod of the right buckle 142. Of course, it can be understood that in order to further improve the installation stability of the light source panel assembly 200 and the mounting bracket 100 and prevent the light source panel assembly 200 from falling off the mounting bracket 100, in another embodiment, refer to Figure 3 The hook of the left buckle 141 extends upward from one end of the connecting rod of the left buckle 141 , and the hook of the right buckle 142 extends downward from one end of the connecting rod of the right buckle 142 .

[0041] Of course, in other embodiments, a clamping groove 223 may be provided on the mounting portion 130 , and a clamping member 140 adapted to the clamping groove 223 may be provided on the light source panel assembly 200 .

[0042] The specific structure of the light source panel assembly 200 will be introduced below.

[0043] See also Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The light source panel assembly 200 includes a light source panel 210 and a rubber sleeve 220 . The rubber sleeve 220 has a receiving groove 221 for receiving the light source panel 210 . Two fixing portions 222 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the rubber sleeve 220 . The snap-in groove 223 is formed on the fixing portion 222 .

[0044] Specifically, the light source board 210 is mainly used to emit blue light. A plurality of LED lamp beads are arranged on the light source board 210, wherein the plurality of LED lamp beads can be arranged according to a certain rule, for example, the plurality of LED lamp beads are arranged in an array; of course, the plurality of LED lamp beads can also be arranged irregularly, which is not particularly limited here. In order to increase the range of blue light emitted by the light source board 210 and enhance the whitening effect, the light source board 210 is arranged in an elliptical shape, but is not limited thereto.

[0045] In one embodiment, the engaging groove 223 is a through groove that passes through the upper and lower surfaces of the fixing portion 222. In this way, the extending direction of the engaging groove 223 is the same as the extending direction of the hook, so that it is convenient to insert the hook into the corresponding engaging groove 223. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the engaging groove 223 can be a blind groove that passes through the upper surface or the lower surface of the fixing portion 222.

[0046] Furthermore, the light source panel assembly 200 further includes a light-transmitting cover plate 230, and the light-transmitting cover plate 230 is disposed to cover the notch of the receiving groove 221. Specifically, the light-transmitting cover plate 230 is made of a transparent material.

[0047] In order to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the light-transmitting cover plate 230 and the rubber sleeve 220, the light-transmitting cover plate 230 and the rubber sleeve 220 can be detachably connected. Figure 4 and Figure 5 , an annular groove 231 is provided on the circumferential side of the light-transmitting cover plate 230, and a flange 224 adapted to the annular groove 231 is provided at the notch of the receiving groove 221. It should be noted that an annular gap is constructed between the flange 224 and the groove wall of the receiving groove 221. In this way, when installing the light-transmitting cover plate 230, the light-transmitting cover plate 230 can be embedded in the receiving groove 221, and the flange 224 is inserted into the annular groove 231 of the light-transmitting cover plate 230, so as to realize the assembly between the light-transmitting cover plate 230 and the rubber sleeve 220.

[0048] In this embodiment, in order to assemble the light-transmitting cover plate 230 and the rubber sleeve 220 more quickly and accurately, a limiting groove 232 can be provided on the transparent cover plate, and a limiting protrusion 225 (such as a protrusion 225) adapted to the limiting groove 232 is provided on the rubber sleeve 220. Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown).

[0049] There is no specific limitation on the number of the limiting grooves 232. For example, the number of the limiting grooves 232 can be one, two or more. Correspondingly, there is no specific limitation on the number of the limiting protrusions 225. For example, the number of the limiting protrusions 225 can be one, two or more. In this embodiment, the number of the limiting grooves 232 and the limiting protrusions 225 is two, and the two limiting protrusions 225 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the two limiting grooves 232. On the one hand, by setting the limiting structure (the limiting protrusions 225 and the limiting grooves 232), the light-transmitting cover plate 230 and the rubber sleeve 220 can be conveniently assembled; on the other hand, by setting the limiting structure (the limiting protrusions 225 and the limiting grooves 232), the connection stability between the light-transmitting cover plate 230 and the rubber sleeve 220 can be further improved.

[0050] Also, see Figure 6, a limiting rib 233 is provided on one side of the light-transmitting cover plate 230 close to the light source plate 210. The setting of the limiting rib 233 can leave a certain distance between the light source plate 210 and the light-transmitting cover plate 230, thereby preventing the LED lamp beads from being crushed. At the same time, the setting of the limiting rib 233 can also improve the strength of the light-transmitting cover plate 230, and further prevent the light-transmitting cover plate 230 from being squeezed by external force and crushing the LED lamp beads. Specifically, the limiting rib 233 can be provided in a long strip shape, but is not limited thereto.

[0051] For further information, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The light-transmitting cover plate 230 is also provided with a power cord through hole 234 , so that the power cord on the light source plate 210 can pass through the power cord through hole 234 and be electrically connected to the control device 310 .

[0052] Please see again Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The mounting portion 130 is arranged in an arc shape and is concavely arranged in a direction away from the light source panel assembly 200. The mounting portion 130 is in contact with the surface of the light source panel assembly 200 facing the mounting portion 130. A first groove 131 is arranged on one side of the mounting portion 130 close to the arc portion 110. The first groove 131 has two opposite side walls 132, one of which is connected to the arc portion 110, and the other side wall 132 is provided with the clamping member 140.

[0053] Furthermore, the arc portion 110 includes a reinforcement segment 111 and two arc segments 113 respectively disposed at two ends of the reinforcement segment 111 , and the two arc segments 113 are symmetrically disposed with respect to the reinforcement segment 111 .

[0054] It is worth mentioning that the reinforcing section 111 may have a variety of shapes, for example, the reinforcing section 111 may be elliptical, circular, square or other special shapes, which are not specifically limited here. In order to improve the overall strength of the arc portion 110, the thickness of the reinforcing section 111 may be greater than the thickness of the arc portion 113. Of course, in order to improve the overall strength of the arc portion 110, the width of the reinforcing section 111 may also be greater than the width of the arc portion 113.

[0055] Of course, in order to further improve the strength of the reinforcement section 111, thereby improving the overall strength of the arc portion 110, a second groove 112 may be provided on the reinforcement section 111. It can be understood that providing the second groove 112 on the reinforcement section 111 can also save materials and thus save costs.

[0056] Also, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In order to more conveniently mount the light source panel assembly 200 on the mounting bracket 100, the mounting bracket 100 further includes two connecting parts 120, and the connecting parts 120 connect the arc-shaped part 110 and the mounting part 130. The connecting parts 120 are arranged in a U shape, but are not limited thereto.

[0057] Specifically, one end of the connecting portion 120 is smoothly connected to the arc segment 113, and the other end of the connecting portion 120 is smoothly connected to the mounting portion 130. By designing the connecting portion 120 to be U-shaped, the distance between the two mounting portions 130 can be adjusted to accommodate light source panel assemblies 200 of different sizes.

[0058] On the basis of the above embodiments, the mounting bracket 100 is made of plastic material, and the plastic material includes polyethylene, polypropylene, polyurethane, etc.

[0059] See also Figure 7 The teeth whitening device 300 further includes a control device 310 , which is electrically connected to the light source panel 210 and is used to control the light source panel 210 to emit blue light.

[0060] It is worth mentioning that in order to control the whitening time of teeth by the teeth whitening device 300 and prevent overtreatment, the teeth whitening device 300 also includes a timing device, which is electrically connected to the control device 310. The control device 310 is used to control the light source panel 210 to stop emitting blue light when the time recorded by the timing device reaches a preset value. The preset value can be 8 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, etc.

[0061] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention.
