Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of oral radiographic imaging, and in particular relates to a positioning device for an intraoral radiographic imaging sensor. Background Art

[0002] Oral X-rays are divided into extraoral whole-body radiographs and intraoral local radiographs. The equipment used in intraoral local radiographs mainly includes a main body, a light source, a sensor, etc. Clinically, the sensor needs to be placed in the mouth. The current clinical practice is to let the patient hold the sensor in his mouth, and the doctor holds the light source to shoot according to the diagonal projection technology or the parallel projection technology. In this process, whether it is the diagonal projection technology or the parallel projection technology, the sensor needs to be adjusted multiple times during shooting to make the shooting effect more accurate. However, in the current situation, the sensor is adjusted by the patient's hand. The patient does not understand the above-mentioned filming principle and it is difficult to adjust to the required angle in a short time. The doctor needs to communicate and demonstrate to the patient repeatedly before the filming action can be completed. In addition, the hand-held operation requires the fingers to go deep into the mouth. The fingers need to keep operating the sensor inside the mouth, which will make the patient feel uncomfortable. Holding the hand and keeping a fixed angle for a relatively long time will cause stiffness and fatigue, and there are problems with hygiene and infection. The above-mentioned multiple problems have formed the current pain points of intraoral local radiographs and need to be solved urgently. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To solve the above problems, the present invention discloses a positioning device for an intraoral radiographic imaging sensor, comprising a sensor including a positioning portion, a movable portion, and a carrier;

[0004] The shape of the positioning part conforms to the direction of the teeth in the oral cavity. It is used for tooth occlusion to fix and maintain the relative position of the positioning part and the teeth. The positioning part is provided with a track arranged along the direction of the teeth.

[0005] The movable part is arranged on the track and can move along the track;

[0006] The bearing member is connected to the movable part and faces the direction of the oral cavity inside the tooth, and is used to carry the connected sensor. The bearing member is rotatable relative to the movable part to adjust the angle between the sensor and the long axis of the tooth.

[0007] The positioning part is set to a shape that conforms to the direction of the teeth to ensure that the carrier can reach any tooth only through the track. Compared with holding it by hand or setting the positioning part to be fixed only on certain teeth, the shape that conforms to the direction of the teeth is more labor-saving and convenient to move, and the movable part does not need to be disassembled when driving the carrier to move. Compared with setting the positioning part to be fixed only on certain teeth, this solution is less prone to damage, reducing the chance of damage during use.

[0008] The sensor needs to be at a corresponding angle to the long axis of the tooth. The angle between the sensor and the long axis of the tooth is different depending on the projection technology used by the doctor. The parallel projection technology requires the sensor to be parallel to the long axis of the tooth, while the angled line projection technology requires an angle to be formed between the sensor and the long axis of the tooth, so that one end of the sensor is located at the vertex of the angle formed by the other end of the upper jaw and intersecting with the end of the tooth; for specific projection technology, please refer to Chapter 2 of the book "Endodontic Radiography (Second Edition)" published by Liaoning Science and Technology Press: Principles and Techniques of Intraoral Radiography; the long axis of the tooth is the geometric axis that passes through the tooth longitudinally and passes through the center of the tooth. The explanation of this term comes from Baidu Encyclopedia.

[0009] Furthermore, the shape of the positioning portion conforms to the direction of the upper and lower rows of teeth, and is used to simultaneously fix and maintain the relative position of the positioning portion and the upper and lower rows of teeth; that is, the positioning portion can be a structure arranged to cover the upper and lower rows of teeth; the setting of covering two rows of teeth can support the patient's mouth. Compared with covering only a single row of teeth, this structure can better reduce the patient's fatigue, and there is no need to disassemble when photographing the upper and lower teeth. Compared with the shape arranged to be a single row of teeth, this solution is simpler to operate.

[0010] At this time, it is preferred that the track is set at the middle position of the positioning part relative to the occlusion of the upper and lower teeth; the distance from the track in the middle position to the upper palate and the tongue surface is the same, and there is no need to rely on a complex structure when switching between the upper and lower teeth for shooting. The switching can be achieved by rotating the movable part. The structure is simple, which reduces the difficulty of production.

[0011] Of course, the track can also be set at other positions along the direction of the teeth, such as on the inner wall of the upper / lower teeth where the positioning part is located. If the track is set toward the inside of the teeth, the positioning part needs to have a channel for fingers or other tools to pass through to adjust the movement of the movable part.

[0012] Of course, the shape of the positioning portion may also conform to the direction of the upper or lower teeth, that is, the positioning portion only covers a single row of teeth; the advantage of the positioning portion only covering a single row of teeth is that the cost is relatively low, which is more conducive to cost saving, and there is no restriction on the setting of the track. The track can be set at a position on the positioning portion close to the inner wall of the tooth, close to the outer wall of the tooth, or at a position close to the occlusal surface of the tooth.

[0013] At this time, it is preferred that the track is located on the outer wall of the positioning part; the advantage of the track being located on the outer wall is that the movable part can be touched and moved without inserting fingers into the mouth, which further reduces the risk of infection. It is more hygienic than setting the track in the direction of the oral cavity facing the teeth. However, at this time, the part where the movable part is connected to the track needs to be set to a right angle or a shape close to it to ensure connection with the carrier in the mouth.

[0014] Of course, the track can also be set at other positions along the direction of the teeth, such as the track is set at the positioning part facing the direction of the oral cavity inside the teeth, or the track is located on the occlusal surface of the teeth.

[0015] The positioning part, the movable part and the supporting part cooperate to solve the inconvenience of the patient holding the sensor all the time, improve the patient's experience during the filming process, and at the same time have a preliminary positioning effect on the relative position of the sensor and the teeth.

[0016] Furthermore, an engagement groove is provided at the contact point between the positioning portion and the teeth, and the engagement groove is used to wrap the positioning teeth so that the teeth and the positioning portion are less likely to move relative to each other.

[0017] Furthermore, the track is set as a socket / bump, the socket / bump is set corresponding to the position of the tooth, the movable part is provided with a bump / socket that is plugged into the track, and the track and the movable part are connected in a plug-in manner. When the doctor changes the tooth to be photographed, he can directly unplug the movable part and then insert it into the tooth to be photographed. The position of the socket / bump corresponds to the position of the tooth, which makes it more convenient and accurate to confirm the teeth, improves the shooting effect, and saves shooting time.

[0018] Alternatively, the track passes through the positioning portion and is provided with a slide structure, and the movable portion and the slide structure are connected in a coordinated manner. The slide groove coordination method does not require the movable portion to be pulled out, and compared with the plug-in method, the slide groove coordination method is simpler to operate and faster to move.

[0019] At this time, preferably, the track is provided with positioning teeth corresponding to the positions of the teeth, and the movable part slides gradually along the positioning teeth, so that the moving distance of the movable part is more accurate, which also improves the shooting effect and saves shooting time.

[0020] Furthermore, the movable part includes a sleeve connected to the carrier and a movable block connected to the track, and the relative position of the movable block and the sleeve is adjustable so that the carrier extends to different positions in the oral cavity; when the parallel projection technology is adopted, in order to ensure the clarity of the captured image, the required distance between the sensor and the tooth is relatively close, but when the angle line projection technology is adopted, since an angle needs to be formed between the sensor and the tooth, due to the limitation of the volume of the sensor, the carrier on which the sensor is fixed needs to maintain a certain distance from the tooth to ensure that there is enough space for one end of the sensor to contact the tooth and form an angle with the other end fitting the upper jaw; the distance between the sensor and the tooth required by the two technologies is different. By setting the movable block and the sleeve to be adjustable in relative position, the carrier can be moved in the direction away from and close to the tooth, so that the use distance of both the angle line projection technology and the parallel projection technology can be met. The structure of the present application will no longer constitute a restriction on the projection technology, and the doctor can choose a better projection technology according to actual conditions.

[0021] The sleeve and the movable block are connected by threads or clamping to adjust the relative position of the movable part and the bearing member. Other connection modes that can realize relative movement between the sleeve and the movable block can also be set.

[0022] Of course, not providing a sleeve only means that the relative position of the movable part and the supporting part cannot be moved, so that the two projection technologies cannot be switched at will. However, this does not mean that the present invention cannot realize radiographic imaging. The structure of the present invention can still realize imaging using one of the projection technologies. The supporting part and the movable part are directly hinged by a spherical hinge. Although the relative position of the movable part and the supporting part cannot be moved, the doctor can use the angle line projection technology or the parallel projection technology to perform radiographic imaging according to the distance between the movable part and the supporting part.

[0023] Preferably, the movable portion is hinged to the center of the carrier. In this structure, the sensor fixed to the carrier can cover both the upper and lower teeth. Due to the limitation of the lower teeth, it cannot form an angle with the upper teeth, so the diagonal projection technology cannot be used. However, when used in conjunction with the parallel projection technology, the carrier is adjusted to a vertical direction parallel to the long axis of the tooth to be photographed, so that the upper and lower teeth can be photographed simultaneously, thereby improving the shooting efficiency.

[0024] Alternatively, the center of the lower edge of the carrier is hinged to the movable portion, and the extension line of the sensor fixed to the carrier forms an angle with the long axis of the tooth. By adjusting the angle, the carrier can also be parallel to the long axis of the tooth. Therefore, this structure can be applied to both the angled line projection technique and the parallel projection technique when the distance between the carrier and the tooth is not limited.

[0025] The movable portion is used to connect the track and the bearing member and drive the bearing member to move. The shape of the movable portion can be any applicable shape.

[0026] Furthermore, the bearing member is provided with a bearing groove, which is arranged to pass through the bearing member. Only one bearing groove can be provided. After the sensor is fixed to the bearing groove, the position of the sensor can be adjusted by simply adjusting the position of the bearing member, which is more convenient to use.

[0027] Alternatively, two carrying slots are provided, distributed on both sides of the carrying member, so that the connected sensor extends in different directions of the oral cavity;

[0028] Two bearing slots can also be set, and both bearing slots can be used to fix the sensor. The doctor can choose to fix the sensor in the appropriate bearing slot according to the specific intraoral space around the teeth to be photographed and the distance between the teeth and the sensor, which is more flexible to use.

[0029] Of course, it is not limited to the groove structure. A plurality of fixing claws may be provided at the two longitudinal edges of the surface of the carrier close to / away from the teeth. Other structures that can play a fixing role may also be used.

[0030] Furthermore, it also includes a traction drive mechanism and a control mechanism;

[0031] The traction drive mechanism is used to connect the carrier and the control mechanism to traction drive the carrier to rotate;

[0032] The control mechanism is located outside the positioning portion and can control the traction drive mechanism.

[0033] The provision of a traction drive mechanism and a control mechanism optimizes the adjustment of the sliding portion and the carrier with fingers. With the aid of the traction drive mechanism and the control mechanism, the angle and position of the carrier can be adjusted without inserting fingers into the mouth. The entire shooting process is more hygienic and prevents the occurrence of infection.

[0034] Furthermore, the traction drive mechanism includes at least two guide wires and guide rollers, one end of the guide wire is symmetrically connected to the side position of the carrier, and the other end is connected to the guide roller after passing through the movable part and the positioning part. The guide roller rotates forward and reverse to pull the guide wire to rotate the carrier; the guide wire structure is used to pull the carrier. Since the guide wire is soft, occupies a small space, and has strong plasticity, compared with the connecting rod, a flexible structure such as a guide wire is more suitable for use in such a narrow space, and the guide wire structure is stable and not easy to rust or damage. Using a guide wire to control the carrier can be safer and more hygienic.

[0035] The control mechanism is configured as a knob, which is connected to the guide roller to rotate the guide roller. The control mechanism may also be other structures having the same function.

[0036] Preferably, four guide wires are provided, symmetrically arranged at the four sides of the carrier, and the two symmetrical guide wires are connected to a guide roller. There are two guide rollers, and the four sides are symmetrically arranged in pairs, which can simultaneously realize the vertical axial rotation and horizontal axial rotation of the carrier.

[0037] Preferably, the traction drive mechanism is arranged in the inner cavity of the sleeve, and the sleeve structure and the traction drive mechanism can coexist. The traction drive mechanism is arranged in the inner cavity of the sleeve. When the sleeve moves, the traction drive mechanism and the operating mechanism are driven to move as a whole, which will not affect the functions of the traction drive mechanism and the operating mechanism.

[0038] The doctor can manipulate the sensor in the mouth to rotate without putting his hand into the mouth, which is more hygienic and prevents infection.

[0039] The movable part is provided with a guide wire channel for the guide wire to pass through. There are multiple guide wire channels to correspondingly gather each guide wire and provide guidance for the guide wire to prevent the guide wire from being entangled and knotted.

[0040] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0041] 1. Through the coordination of the positioning part, the movable part and the supporting parts, the patient is freed from holding the sensor. The doctor can perform the X-ray with simple operations, which improves the efficiency of filming and eliminates the fatigue of the patient holding the sensor.

[0042] 2. It is equipped with a traction drive mechanism and a control mechanism. The doctor does not need to put his hands deep into the mouth. He can adjust the sensor by adjusting the control mechanism outside the mouth, avoiding bacterial infection outside and inside the mouth and solving the hygiene problem.

[0043] 3. The positioning device of this solution has a simple structure and controllable cost. As a disposable item, it ensures hygiene and health during the projection process. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0062] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, a positioning device for an intraoral radiographic imaging sensor comprises a sensor, including a positioning portion 1, a movable portion 2 and a carrier 3;

[0063] The shape of the positioning part 1 is in accordance with the direction of the teeth in the oral cavity. It is used for tooth occlusion to fix the relative position of the positioning part 1 and the teeth. The positioning part 1 is provided with a track 11 arranged along the direction of the teeth.

[0064] The movable portion 2 is disposed on the track 11 and is capable of moving along the track 11;

[0065] The supporting member 3 is connected to the movable part 2 and faces the oral cavity inside the tooth. It is used to carry the connected sensor, and the supporting member 3 is rotatable relative to the movable part 2 to adjust the angle between the sensor and the long axis of the tooth.

[0066] The sensor needs to be at a corresponding angle to the long axis of the tooth. The angle between the sensor and the long axis of the tooth is different depending on the projection technology used by the doctor. The parallel projection technology requires the sensor to be parallel to the long axis of the tooth, while the angle line projection technology requires an angle to be formed between the sensor and the long axis of the tooth so that one end of the sensor is located at the vertex of the angle formed by the other end of the upper jaw and the end of the tooth.

[0067] The sensor is fixed to the carrier 3 and the positioning part 1 is fixed on the tooth. The doctor adjusts the angle between the carrier 3 and the long axis of the tooth according to the projection technology used, and places the light source at the corresponding position to take pictures. Compared with the existing technology, the patient does not need to hold the sensor, and the positioning part 1 has a certain fixing effect on the carrier 3, which makes it more convenient to adjust the sensor.

[0068] Based on the different positioning parts 1, the following implementations are possible:

[0069] In one solution, the shape of the positioning portion 1 conforms to the direction of the upper and lower rows of teeth, and is used to simultaneously fix and maintain the relative position of the positioning portion 1 and the upper and lower rows of teeth; that is, the positioning portion 1 can be a structure that covers the upper and lower rows of teeth; this structure can support the patient's mouth opening and relieve the fatigue caused by the patient's long-term mouth opening; at this time, preferably, the track 11 is set at the middle position of the positioning portion 1 relative to the upper and lower teeth occlusion (such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 shown);

[0070] Of course, further, the track 11 can also be set at other positions along the direction of the teeth, such as: set at the inner wall of the positioning part 1 on the upper / lower teeth.

[0071] Another solution is that the shape of the positioning portion 1 is arranged to conform to the direction of the lower row of teeth, that is, the positioning portion 1 only covers a single row of teeth (such as Figure 3 As shown), the track 11 is arranged at the middle position of the positioning portion 1 relative to the upper and lower teeth occlusion;

[0072] At this time, preferably, the shape of the positioning part 1 can also be arranged in accordance with the direction of the upper teeth. Furthermore, the track 11 can be arranged in the direction of the positioning part 1 toward the teeth inside the oral cavity.

[0073] In a more preferred embodiment, an occlusal groove (not shown in the figure) is provided at the contact point between the positioning portion 1 and the tooth, and the occlusal groove is used to wrap the positioning tooth to make it more difficult for the tooth and the positioning portion 1 to move relative to each other.

[0077] Based on the different structures of the movable part 2, the following embodiments are possible:

[0078] One of the options, such as Figure 4As shown, the movable portion 2 includes a sleeve 22 connected to the carrier 3 and a movable block 23 connected to the track 11. The relative position of the movable block 23 and the sleeve 22 can be adjusted so that the carrier 3 extends to different positions in the oral cavity. Preferably, the traction drive mechanism 4 can also be arranged in the inner cavity of the sleeve 22 (such as Figure 4 shown).

[0079] Preferably, the movable part may also be provided with a handle 21 to facilitate the doctor to move the movable part 2 .

[0080] The doctor can adjust the distance between the carrier 3 and the teeth according to different projection techniques, which makes it easier for the doctor to choose the appropriate projection technique according to different dental conditions.

[0081] Preferably, the sleeve 22 and the movable block 23 can be connected by threads, or by snap-fitting, or by other relatively movable connection methods, so as to adjust the relative position of the movable part 2 and the bearing member 3 .

[0082] The support member 3 is hinged to the movable portion 2 via a spherical hinge 24; preferably, the center of the lower edge of the support member 3 is hinged to the movable portion 2 (eg Figure 2 、 3 , 4); Alternatively, the movable portion 2 is hinged to the center position of the carrier 3;

[0083] The movable portion 2 is used to connect the positioning portion 1 and the supporting member 3 and drive the supporting member 3 to move. The shape of the movable portion 2 can be any applicable shape.

[0089] like Figure 9 、10 , a solution shown in 11 further includes a traction drive mechanism 4 and a control mechanism 5;

[0090] The traction drive mechanism 4 is used to connect the carrier 3 and the control mechanism 5 to traction-drive the carrier 3 to rotate;

[0091] The control mechanism 5 is located outside the positioning portion 1 and can control the traction drive mechanism 4 .

[0092] In a preferred embodiment, the traction drive mechanism 4 includes four guide wires 41 and two guide rollers 42. The four guide wires 41 are symmetrically arranged at the four sides of the carrier 3. The other ends of the four guide wires 41 pass through the movable part 2 and the positioning part 1 and are connected to the guide rollers 42. The two symmetrical guide wires 41 are connected to one guide roller 42. The two guide wires 41 on the same guide roller 42 are wound in opposite directions. The guide roller 42 rotates forward and reversely to pull the guide wires 41 to rotate the carrier 3 (such as Figure 9 、 10 shown);

[0093] The control mechanism 5 is configured as a knob 51 , and the knob 51 is connected to the guide roller 42 to rotate the guide roller 42 .

[0094] The movable part 2 is provided with a guide wire channel 43 for the guide wire 41 to pass through. There are multiple guide wire channels 43 to correspondingly converge each guide wire 41 and provide guidance for the guide wire 41 (such as Figure 11 shown).

[0095] Anything not described in the present invention can be achieved by adopting or drawing on existing technologies.

[0096] The doctor rotates the guide roller and controls the rotation of the sensor in the mouth under the movement of the two guide wires. This is more hygienic and prevents infection than other solutions.
