[0042] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 7 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of the integrated saliva suction opening device provided by the present invention; Figure 2 A front view of the integrated saliva suction opening device provided by the present invention; Figure 3 A side view of the integrated saliva suction opening device provided by the present invention in one direction; Figure 4 for Figure 3 Sectional view in AA direction; Figure 5 for Figure 4 Cross-sectional view in BB direction; Figure 6 A side view of the integrated saliva suction opening device provided by the present invention from another direction; Figure 7 This is a schematic structural diagram of the integrated saliva suction opening device provided by the present invention in a bent state.

[0043] The present invention provides an integrated saliva suction opening device, comprising a saliva suction tube and an opening device 3 , wherein the saliva suction tube comprises a water outlet pipe 1 and a flexible pipe 2 .

[0044] The flexible pipe 2 is a pipe that can be deformed significantly under the action of external force loads and can be bent at any angle without being easily blocked.

[0045] The mouth opener 3 is provided with a built-in flow channel, and the water inlet 301 of the built-in flow channel of the mouth opener 3 is used to absorb the saliva usually accumulated in the patient's mouth and liquids such as liquid medicine sprayed by medical equipment.

[0046] One end of the water outlet pipe 1 is connected to the water outlet of the built-in flow channel of the opener 3, and the other end is connected to the main body of the dental medical equipment (i.e., the saliva suction device, the strong suction straw on the dental chair). The flexible tube 2 is connected in series to the water outlet pipe 1 and is close to the connection end with the opener 3.

[0047] The present invention provides an integrated saliva suction opening device. According to the position of the fluid accumulation in the patient's oral cavity, the flexible tube 2 on the water outlet pipe 1 is bent at a certain angle, so that the water inlet 301 of the opening device 3 is aligned with the fluid accumulation to absorb the fluid, and the liquid is discharged from the water outlet pipe 1 to the main body of the dental medical device through the built-in flow channel of the opening device 3. This design facilitates the adjustment of the saliva suction angle, is comfortable and convenient to use, and can provide auxiliary support for the opening and suction of saliva.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment, the flexible tube 2 is a corrugated tube, which can be bent at any angle, and is convenient for clinical use. Because the corrugated tube is made of soft plastic material, the special structural properties of the corrugated tube can be bent without blocking the water flow. Of course, the flexible tube 2 can also be a rubber hose or a flexible pipe of other materials and shapes, which can be selected according to the actual application, and will not be repeated here.

[0049] In a specific embodiment, the water outlet pipe 1 is a water outlet pipe made of soft plastic material. The mouth opener 3 is a mouth opener made of soft plastic material, which has a better feeling of use in the mouth and can effectively support the teeth without being easily deformed.

[0050] In order to improve the sealing performance and connection reliability, the saliva suction tube and the mouth opener 3 can be set as an integrated structure, which has low production cost. Specifically, it can be made of elastic material, combining the functions of the saliva suction tube and the mouth opener, integrating the two functions of saliva suction and auxiliary opening, and the use process is more comfortable and convenient.

[0051] In a specific embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the mouth-opener 3 is in a semicircular structure, and the water inlet 301 is arranged as a sunken protrusion. The sunken protrusion has a certain sinking depth, and can easily probe below the oral cavity liquid surface.

[0052] In particular, multiple sunken protrusions can be provided, that is, multiple water inlets 301 can be provided. Figure 1 There are two middle sunken protrusions.

[0053] In order to facilitate placement in the patient's mouth, the semicircular arc surface of the mouth opener 3 is provided with a chewing gum occlusal surface 304, and the overall arc design makes it more closely fit the surface of the teeth after the mouth is opened, thereby improving the comfort of use. The chewing gum can prevent the mouth opener 3 from scratching the patient's oral wall. Several anti-slip lines are provided on the occlusal surface 304 to prevent the chewing gum from moving.

[0054] Furthermore, retaining ribs 303 are provided on both sides of the semicircular arc surface of the mouth opener 3 for fitting on both sides of the teeth, facilitating occlusion and preventing the chewing gum from moving.

[0055] When the mouth opener 3 is placed in the oral cavity, the occlusal surface 304 is supported on the upper or lower jaw, and the two side surfaces of the occlusal surface 304, namely the retaining ribs 303, are attached to the inner side of the teeth, and the top ends are supported on the lower or upper jaw, thereby supporting the patient's mouth to keep it open.

[0056] In order to make the chewing gum have a certain strength to support the teeth and play a role in assisting the opening of the mouth, a reinforcing rib 302 is arranged inside the mouth opener 3.

[0057] like Figure 4 As shown, when the water inlet 301 and the water outlet of the opener 3 are arranged on two adjacent surfaces, preferably, when the axis of the water inlet 301 and the axis of the water outlet are at an angle of 90° or close to 90°, it is conducive to placing the opener 3 in the oral cavity and convenient to adjust the angle of the water inlet to absorb liquid.

[0058] In order to facilitate the suction of liquid on the left and right sides of the oral cavity, the mouth opener 3 is provided with two water inlets 301 corresponding to the left and right sides of the oral cavity respectively.

[0059] In order to improve the fluidity of liquid absorption and reduce the resistance to liquid absorption, the built-in flow channel of the opener 3 extending in the direction close to the water inlet 301 is a gradually expanding flow channel.

[0060] In particular, the water inlet 301 of the mouth opener 3 has a certain opening angle and adopts a sinking design, which can easily probe below the liquid surface in the oral cavity and has a high saliva suction efficiency.

[0061] In addition, a dental medical device is provided in this embodiment, including the above-mentioned integrated saliva suction opening device.

[0062] Since the dental medical device has the above-mentioned integrated saliva suction and mouth opener, the dental medical device has the beneficial effects brought by the integrated saliva suction and mouth opener. Please refer to the above content and will not be repeated here.

[0063] The working process of this scheme is specifically as follows: turn on the switch of the saliva suction device of the dental medical equipment, slowly put the mouth opener 3 into the patient's mouth, and the patient bites it with the upper jaw and lower jaw, or hangs it on the patient's lower jaw. During the treatment process, the position of the water inlet 301 can be manually adjusted continuously so that it extends into the liquid accumulated in the oral cavity, and the saliva is discharged into the saliva suction device through the water outlet pipe 1 connected to the mouth opener 3.

[0064] In this specification, various embodiments are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referenced to each other.

[0065] The principles and implementation methods of the present invention are described in this article using specific examples. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and core ideas of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made to the present invention without departing from the principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
