[0034] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present invention, and to more clearly understand the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present invention, the technical scheme in the embodiment of the present invention is clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the implementation methods not shown or described in the accompanying drawings are forms known to those skilled in the art. In addition, although demonstrations of parameters containing specific values ​​may be provided herein, it should be understood that the parameters do not need to be exactly equal to the corresponding values, but may be approximated to the corresponding values ​​within an acceptable error tolerance or design constraint. Obviously, the described embodiments are only embodiments of a part of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work should belong to the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" in the specification and claims of the present invention and any of their variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, device, product or equipment containing a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or equipment.

[0035] In one embodiment of the present invention, a ring-shaped saliva suction tube with a porous structure is provided. Figure 1 As shown, the annular saliva suction tube includes a first tube body 1 and a second tube body 2.

[0036] The first tube body 1 is annular so that its two ends are close to each other. A plurality of saliva suction holes 3 are provided on the surface of the first tube body 1. Figure 2 As shown, the saliva suction hole 3 can allow the saliva in the oral cavity to enter the first tube body 1. It should be noted that the position of the saliva suction hole 3 is not fixed, and can be evenly distributed on the surface of the first tube body 1, or can be set according to the position of oral care. For example, when the left back teeth in the oral cavity are extracted, the liquid produced during flushing is mostly located on the left side, and the saliva suction holes 3 can be concentrated on one side of the first tube body 1, which is conducive to quickly sucking the liquid in the oral cavity. The specific setting method is selected according to the actual situation, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0037] The second tube body 2 has one end connected to both ends of the first tube body 1, and the other end is used to connect to the external aspirator, so that the saliva in the first tube body 1 is discharged from the other end of the second tube body 2. Figure 2 shown.

[0038] Specifically, the annular saliva suction tube is used in conjunction with an external suction device, such as Figure 2As shown, the external suction device is started, and the liquid in the oral cavity (saliva, blood, liquid medicine, etc.) enters the tube body of the first tube body 1 through the saliva suction hole 3 on the first tube body 1, and then moves into the second tube body 2, and flows out to the external suction device through one end of the second tube body 2, thereby achieving the goal of discharging excess liquid in the oral cavity.

[0039] In one embodiment of the present invention, a ring-shaped saliva suction tube with a porous structure is provided, and a metal wire is further provided in the first tube body 1 and the second tube body 2, and the diameter of the metal wire ranges from 0.5 mm to 0.7 mm. By bending the metal wire, the shapes of the first tube body 1 and the second tube body 2 can be changed to adapt to different nursing scenarios. In addition, it should be noted that the metal wire can be directly attached to the inner side of the tube body, or it can be pressed and embedded in the tube wall; the metal wire can be a copper wire, or it can be other metal materials with good ductility, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0040] In one embodiment of the present invention, a ring-shaped saliva suction tube with a porous structure is provided, wherein the diameter of the saliva suction holes 3 ranges from 1.0 to 1.4 mm, and the number of the saliva suction holes 3 ranges from 15 to 20.

[0041] In one embodiment of the present invention, a ring-shaped saliva suction tube with a porous structure is provided, wherein the diameter of the saliva suction holes 3 ranges from 1.8 to 2.1 mm, and the number of the saliva suction holes 3 ranges from 5 to 8.

[0042] In one embodiment of the present invention, a ring-shaped saliva suction tube with a porous structure is provided, wherein the saliva suction holes 3 are distributed in the middle section of the first tube body 1, and the ratio of the length of the middle section to the length of the first tube body 1 is in a range of 1 / 4 to 1 / 6.

[0043] In one embodiment of the present invention, a ring-shaped saliva suction tube with a porous structure is provided, wherein the width of the ring formed by the first tube body 1 ranges from 20 to 30 mm.

[0044] In one embodiment of the present invention, a ring-shaped saliva suction tube with a porous structure is provided, wherein the inner diameter of the first tube body 1 is less than or equal to the inner diameter of the second tube body 2, and since one end of the second tube body 2 is connected to both ends of the first tube body 1, Figure 2 As shown, it can be considered that the second tube body 2 needs to receive the liquid in the two first tube bodies 1. If the inner diameter of the first tube body 1 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the second tube body 2, it will be beneficial to discharge the liquid in the tube instead of accumulating in the first tube body 1 or in the mouth.

[0045] In one embodiment of the present invention, a ring-shaped saliva suction tube with a porous structure is provided, wherein the inner diameter of the first tube body 1 is in a range of 3.5 mm to 4.0 mm, and the outer diameter is in a range of 4.5 mm to 5.5 mm.

[0046] In one embodiment of the present invention, a ring-shaped saliva suction tube with a porous structure is provided, wherein the inner diameter of the second tube body 2 is in a range of 4.8 mm to 5.8 mm, and the outer diameter is in a range of 6.0 mm to 7.0 mm.

[0047] In one embodiment of the present invention, a ring-shaped saliva suction tube with a porous structure is provided, wherein the first tube body 1 and the second tube body 2 can be made of plastic, or can be made of silicone or other materials that can be used for oral care.

[0048] In one embodiment of the present invention, an oral saliva suction device is provided, comprising an external suction device and an annular saliva suction tube with a porous structure as described in any one of the above.

[0049] In one embodiment of the present invention, an oral saliva suction device is provided, wherein the number of the annular saliva suction tubes is multiple, and the saliva suction holes 3 on different annular saliva suction tubes have different apertures.

[0050] In one embodiment of the present invention, a method for sucking saliva using the oral saliva sucker as described above is provided, comprising the following steps:

[0051] In tooth preparation or filling operations, a saliva suction tube having 15 to 20 saliva suction holes with a diameter ranging from 1.0 to 1.4 mm is selected;

[0052] In the teeth cleaning or periodontal treatment operation, a saliva suction tube having 8 saliva suction holes with a diameter ranging from 1.0 to 1.4 mm and 2 saliva suction holes with a diameter ranging from 1.8 to 2.1 mm is selected;

[0053] In dental implant surgery, a saliva suction tube with 5 to 8 saliva suction holes with a diameter ranging from 1.8 to 2.1 mm is selected.

[0054] In one embodiment of the present invention, a method for sucking saliva using the oral saliva suction device as described above is provided, including selecting a saliva suction tube having more than 5 saliva suction holes with a diameter of 2.0 mm during a dental implant operation. Specifically, during a dental implant operation, in addition to saliva, a lot of bone blood is produced in the oral cavity, and the bone blood is extremely likely to clog the saliva suction tube. In order to avoid the clogging problem, the aperture of the saliva suction hole is set larger, and the number of the saliva suction holes is controlled to be small, so that the bone blood can pass through the saliva suction holes and the suction strength (efficiency) is guaranteed.

[0055] In one embodiment of the present invention, a saliva suction method using the oral saliva suction device as described above is provided, including selecting a saliva suction tube having 8 saliva suction holes with a diameter of 1.4 mm and 2 saliva suction holes with a diameter of 2.0 mm during teeth cleaning or periodontal treatment. Specifically, during teeth cleaning or periodontal treatment, in addition to saliva, there will also be dental plaque that falls off from the teeth. For large pieces of dental plaque, a saliva suction hole with a larger diameter, such as 2.0 mm, is provided to suck it out. For small pieces of dental plaque, a saliva suction hole with a smaller diameter, such as 1.4 mm, is provided to suck it out. Such a saliva suction method can solve the saliva suction problem encountered during teeth cleaning or periodontal treatment.

[0056] In one embodiment of the present invention, a method for sucking saliva using the oral saliva suction device as described above is provided, including selecting a saliva suction tube having 15 or more saliva suction holes with a diameter of 1.4 mm during a tooth preparation or filling operation. Specifically, the tooth preparation or filling operation is different from a tooth implant, teeth cleaning or periodontal treatment operation, and generally no large impurities will occur to affect the saliva suction work, so the liquid in the oral cavity can be sucked by selecting a conventional saliva suction hole.

[0057] The concept of the embodiment of the saliva suction method of the present oral saliva suction device is the same as the working process of the oral saliva suction device in the above embodiment. The entire content of the above embodiment of the oral saliva suction device is incorporated into the embodiment of the saliva suction method of the present oral saliva suction device by full reference and will not be repeated here.

[0058] Compared with the existing straight tube type saliva suction tube with only one inlet, the annular saliva suction tube with a porous structure provided by the present invention adopts a porous structure, which directly and effectively improves the liquid suction efficiency. Moreover, since a plurality of suction holes are provided, each suction hole can be made smaller, and it is not easy to suck in large particles and cause the problem of tube or instrument clogging. It is safer and more stable. In addition, the technical solution provided by the present invention can meet the needs of different oral care work. At the same time, it has a simple structure, low cost, and can be mass-produced.

[0059] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope thereof. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings, directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, is also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
