[0006] The working process and principle of the above structure are as follows:

[0007] When collecting saliva, insert the collection head into the patient's mouth, with the arc-shaped liquid collection plate close to the patient's mouth corners and chin, wear the collection mask on the patient's face, and fix the collection mask on the patient's two ears through the ear hook holes, so that the vibration balls corresponding to the parotid gland, sublingual gland and submandibular gland vibrate, thereby stimulating the patient to secrete saliva and improving the collection efficiency. The spherical structure of the collection head can support a certain space in the mouth of an unconscious patient without damaging the patient's mouth, so that the patient can automatically secrete saliva. At the same time, the sour stimulating liquid on the surface of the collection head can further stimulate the patient to produce saliva. The flexible material of the collection head Some patients with independent consciousness can chew to stimulate the production of saliva. In various ways, it is ensured that a sufficient amount of saliva is produced, while reducing the difficulty of saliva collection. After the saliva is collected, a part of it flows into the arc-shaped collection tray along the corners of the mouth, and enters the collection head through the overflow hole at the arc-shaped collection tray and flows into the collection tube. The negative pressure suction device connected to the connecting piece can generate negative pressure suction force in the collection tube, so that another part of the saliva is sucked into the collection head through the collection hole on the surface of the collection head, thereby realizing the collection of saliva; after collection, it enters the collection tube and can be discharged into other storage units by opening the discharge control valve.

[0010] Furthermore, an inner lining ring is provided at the connection of the collection head, and the inner lining ring is integrally formed with the inner side surface of the collection head. A gap is left between the inner lining ring and the internal thread, and the thickness of the gap is greater than the wall thickness of the collection tube.

[0011] The setting of the inner lining ring facilitates the sealing effect, allowing saliva to flow directly into the collection tube without leakage, and at the same time plays a limiting role for the threaded installation of the collection tube.

[0012] Furthermore, a vibration motor is provided in the collection head, and the outside of the vibration motor is covered with a protective film.

[0013] The setting of the vibration motor can vibrate inside the collection head to stimulate saliva secretion, and the setting of the protective film is used to prevent saliva from soaking into the vibration motor.

[0014] Furthermore, the collection tube is a transparent tube, and a scale is provided on the side of the collection tube.

The one-way valve cooperates with the pressing airbag to play the role of one-way negative pressure suction. The connecting piece is used to connect the pressing airbag.

[0018] Furthermore, the negative pressure suction device is a ward medical negative pressure suction interface, which is connected to a hospital negative pressure aspirator, and the connecting piece is a quick sealing interface.

[0019] Through the medical negative pressure suction interface in the ward, negative pressure suction force can be automatically generated, making saliva collection more effective.

[0020] Furthermore, a power switch and a battery are provided on the outside of the collection mask, and the power switch is connected to each vibration motor through a power line.

[0021] The vibration motor is turned on and off by the power switch and battery.

[0022] Furthermore, a first connecting belt and a second connecting belt are respectively provided at positions of the back neck at both ends of the collection mask, and the first connecting belt and the second connecting belt are detachably connected.

[0023] By connecting the first connecting belt and the second connecting belt, the collection mask is fixed to the back of the patient's neck in an auxiliary fixing manner, so that the collection mask is fixed more firmly.

[0024] Beneficial effects: When collecting saliva, the present invention inserts the collection head into the patient's mouth, and the arc-shaped liquid collection tray is close to the patient's mouth corners and chin. The spherical structure of the collection head can support a certain space in the patient's mouth without damaging the patient's mouth, so that the patient can automatically secrete saliva. At the same time, the sour stimulating liquid on the surface of the collection head can further stimulate the patient to produce saliva. The collection head is made of a flexible material, and some patients with independent consciousness can chew to stimulate the production of saliva. In multiple ways, sufficient saliva is guaranteed to be produced, and the difficulty of collecting saliva is reduced. After the saliva is collected, a part of it flows into the arc-shaped liquid collection tray along the corners of the mouth, and enters the collection head through the overflow hole at the arc-shaped liquid collection tray and flows into the collection tube. The negative pressure suction device connected to the connecting piece can generate a negative pressure suction force in the collection tube, so that another part of the saliva is sucked into the collection head through the collection hole on the surface of the collection head, thereby realizing the collection of saliva; after collection, it enters the collection tube and can be discharged into other storage units by opening the discharge control valve.
