Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of oral orthodontics, and in particular to a mechanical characteristic acquisition and analysis system for the lip and tongue muscles. Background Art

[0002] The balance of maxillofacial muscles has an important influence on jaw development and tooth arrangement. The imbalance of maxillofacial muscles is an important cause of malocclusion, among which the most common maxillofacial muscle imbalance is the imbalance of tongue and lip muscles. Clinically, it is common to cause or aggravate malocclusion due to the imbalance of maxillofacial muscles caused by insufficient strength of the lips and tongue muscles and bad habits. For example, abnormal swallowing habits, tongue sticking habits, tongue extension habits, etc., will cause problems such as scattered teeth in the gap, opening and closing. Long-term low tongue placement will also affect the airway and mandibular width; and the lip muscles often cause incomplete lip closure due to insufficient strength, which leads to or aggravates mouth breathing, and then leads to or aggravates a series of problems such as tooth protrusion and affecting maxillary development. Therefore, during the growth and development process, the balance of the lips and tongue muscles is related to the occurrence and severity of malocclusion; during the correction process, the balance of the lips and tongue muscles also directly affects the progress and effect of correction; after the correction, bad habits of the lips and tongue muscles are still a major cause of recurrence of malocclusion. Therefore, it is important to carry out corresponding targeted lip and tongue muscle training and monitoring.

[0003] In the related art, the lip and tongue muscle function training can be detected by pressure sensors, and the training data can be accurately recorded for treatment monitoring and evaluation.

[0004] However, most of the related technologies focus on the training of the lip and tongue muscles, ignoring the importance of monitoring the lip closure and tongue muscle lifting of a person in a relaxed state. In addition, the related technologies require wearing corresponding training devices for training, and require connecting wires to monitor the exercises and transmit data. Therefore, the related technologies can only monitor the situation during training and cannot perform 24-hour real-time monitoring. They fail to monitor the lip and tongue muscles of patients in a resting state, so doctors cannot understand the accurate condition of the lip and tongue muscles. In addition, the corresponding training devices have a relatively single training method and cannot be combined with a variety of training methods, which urgently needs to be improved.

[0032] The following describes a mechanical characteristic acquisition and analysis system of the lip and tongue muscles of the embodiment of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings. In view of the fact that the related technologies mentioned in the above background technology mostly focus on the training of the lip and tongue muscles, ignoring the importance of monitoring the lip closure and tongue muscle lifting of the person in the relaxed state, and can only monitor the situation during training, and cannot perform 24-hour real-time monitoring, and fail to monitor the lip and tongue muscles of the patient in the resting state, so that the doctor cannot understand the accurate condition of the lip and tongue muscles, and the corresponding training device has a relatively single training method and cannot be combined with a variety of training methods, the present application provides a mechanical characteristic acquisition and analysis system of the lip and tongue muscles, in which the system can be combined with the corresponding oral appliance and fixed in the oral cavity, and the strength of the tongue and lip muscles of the patient can be monitored in real time, so that the strength of the tongue and lip muscles of the patient during training and non-training can be monitored, and the collected information can be wirelessly transmitted to the terminal in real time, so that the patient and the doctor can view the condition of the patient's lips and tongue muscles in real time, and through the information processing and analysis of the terminal system, the patient's condition can be evaluated accordingly, and then the patient can be reminded and guided. Thereby, the problem that most of the related technologies focus on the training of the lip and tongue muscles, ignoring the importance of monitoring the lip closure and tongue muscle lifting of a person in a relaxed state, and can only monitor the situation during training, but cannot perform 24-hour real-time monitoring, and cannot monitor the lip and tongue muscles of the patient in a resting state, so the doctor cannot understand the accurate condition of the lip and tongue muscles, and the corresponding training device has a relatively single training method and cannot be combined with a variety of training methods.

[0033] Specifically, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a system for collecting and analyzing the mechanical characteristics of the lip and tongue muscles provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0034] like Figure 1As shown, the mechanical characteristics acquisition and analysis system 10 of the labio-lingual muscles includes: a fixing part 100 , a acquisition part 200 and an analysis part 300 .

[0035] Specifically, the fixing member 100 is combined with the oral appliance to be fixed in the user's oral cavity.

[0036] In the actual implementation process, the embodiment of the present application can combine the fixing member 100 with the corresponding oral appliance and fix it in the oral cavity, and monitor the strength of the patient's tongue and lip muscles in real time, so that the strength of the patient's tongue and lip muscles can be monitored during training and non-training. The present application can be combined with a variety of orthodontic correction devices such as transparent appliances and fixed appliances, and can be used together to accelerate the orthodontic process and improve the stability of orthodontic treatment.

[0037] Among them, the present application does not need to carry the corresponding training device with you, does not rely on the training device, is directly installed in the oral cavity, and the training is not restricted by time and place.

[0038] The collecting member 200 is used to collect lip mechanical signals generated by the lips and / or palate mechanical signals generated by the tongue muscles.

[0039] It is understandable that the sensor data information of the labial side and the lingual side in the embodiment of the present application is relatively independent and does not affect each other. The acquisition member 200 in the embodiment of the present application is encapsulated in the base or transparent appliance of the corresponding part, and is formed by personalized 3D printing.

[0040] The collecting member 200 in the embodiment of the application can be provided with a shell, the wireless charging transmitting unit and the sensor sensing unit are located on the surface of the shell, and other batteries are installed inside the shell.

[0041] Specifically, the embodiment of the present application can collect lip mechanical signals generated by the lips and / or palate mechanical signals generated by the tongue muscles through the collection piece 200, so as to facilitate the subsequent wireless transmission of the collected information to the terminal, so that the patient and the doctor can view the patient's lip and tongue muscle conditions in real time.

[0042] Among them, the present application can realize 24-hour real-time monitoring of the strength of the tongue muscles and lip muscles and the position of the tongue.

[0043] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, the acquisition component 200 includes: at least one pressure sensor for collecting a lip pressure signal generated by the lips and / or a tongue muscle pressure signal generated by the tongue muscle; a sampling and amplification circuit for amplifying the lip pressure signal and / or the tongue muscle pressure signal to obtain an amplified lip pressure signal and / or an amplified tongue muscle pressure signal; and a communication unit for wirelessly transmitting the amplified lip pressure signal and / or the amplified tongue muscle pressure signal to a preset terminal to provide training reminders to the user.

[0044] It can be understood that the pressure sensor in the embodiment of the present application can be a thin film pressure sensor, and the embodiment of the present application includes at least three pressure sensors.

[0045] In the actual implementation process, the embodiment of the present application can sense and collect pressure signals of the corresponding lip muscles and tongue muscles in the oral cavity through at least three pressure sensors, thereby collecting lip pressure signals generated by the lips and / or tongue muscle pressure signals generated by the tongue muscles. The embodiment of the present application can collect and amplify the weak signals of the pressure sensor through a sampling and amplification circuit, thereby amplifying the lip pressure signals and / or tongue muscle pressure signals to obtain the amplified lip pressure signals and / or the amplified tongue muscle pressure signals. The embodiment of the present application can wirelessly transmit the amplified lip pressure signals and / or the amplified tongue muscle pressure signals to a preset terminal through a communication unit. The preset terminal can preset the training goals set by the doctor for the patient, and integrate the lip and tongue muscle strength information for real-time evaluation according to the patient's actual situation, so as to remind and guide the patient.

[0046] Among them, the embodiments of the present application can realize real-time storage and wireless transmission of data, allowing patients and doctors to monitor in real time. Wireless transmission of data includes but is not limited to Bluetooth transmission. Bluetooth signals are transmitted through a Bluetooth transmitting circuit, and the terminal receives and feeds back to the patient and doctor.

[0047] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, the acquisition component 200 also includes: a voltage detection unit for detecting the voltage generated by the battery; a DC-DC converter for converting the voltage into direct current that meets preset stability conditions; a charging management circuit for matching the voltage and current that meet different preset conditions based on the direct current, and charging the battery according to the voltage and current that meet different preset conditions.

[0048] It can be understood that the preset stability condition in the embodiment of the present application can be a smooth conversion of voltage for power supply, and the voltage and current of different preset conditions can be different voltages and currents.

[0049] As a possible implementation method, the embodiment of the present application can detect the voltage generated by the battery through the voltage detection unit, and stably convert the voltage and electricity provided by the battery through the DC-DC converter to power the Bluetooth + MCU module and the sampling circuit. The embodiment of the present application can match different voltages and currents according to the battery voltage state through the charging management circuit to charge the battery, thereby achieving long-term power storage without the need for internal battery replacement, so as to reduce patients' concerns about safety.

[0050] It should be noted that the preset stable conditions and the preset different conditions can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual conditions and are not specifically limited here.

[0051] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, the acquisition component 200 also includes: a wireless charging transmitting unit, used to send a charging request to at least one external wireless charging device; a wireless charging receiving unit, used to receive magnetic field energy generated by at least one external wireless charging device in response to the charging request, and convert the magnetic field energy into electrical energy to charge the battery.

[0052] It is understandable that the above-mentioned acquisition component 200 can be provided with a shell, the wireless charging transmitting unit and the sensor sensing unit are located on the surface of the shell, and other batteries and the like are installed inside the shell.

[0053] During the actual implementation process, the embodiment of the present application can send a charging request to at least one external wireless charging device through a wireless charging transmitting unit, and receive the magnetic field energy generated by at least one external wireless charging device in response to the charging request through a wireless charging receiving unit, and convert the magnetic field energy into electrical energy to charge the battery.

[0054] The analysis component 300 is used to identify the user's tongue muscle strength information and / or lip muscle strength information based on the lip mechanical signals and / or palate mechanical signals, and generate the user's patient assessment information based on the tongue muscle strength information and / or lip muscle strength information.

[0055] Specifically, the embodiments of the present application can be used to identify the user's tongue muscle strength information and / or lip muscle strength information based on the lip mechanical signals, palate mechanical signals, or the lip mechanical signals and palate mechanical signals, and generate the user's patient assessment information based on the tongue muscle strength information and / or lip muscle strength information, so as to facilitate the subsequent guidance of the patient to perform corresponding training based on the assessment information, such as providing animation through the system terminal to guide the patient to place the tongue in the correct position.

[0056] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, the analysis component 300 is also used to generate training reminder suggestions and / or training instructions for the user based on the patient assessment information.

[0057] In the actual implementation process, the analysis component 300 in the embodiment of the present application generates a user's training reminder suggestion and / or training guidance based on the patient's evaluation information, and formulates corresponding training reminder suggestions, training guidance, or training reminder suggestions and training guidance based on the patient's condition. The embodiment of the present application allows doctors to evaluate the muscle improvement of patients in a relaxed state, remind patients through real-time monitoring and evaluation, and provide real-time guidance.

[0058] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, the analysis component 300 is also used to formulate a user's training goal based on the patient assessment information, so as to adjust the user's tongue muscle training difficulty according to the training goal.

[0059] It can be understood that the embodiments of the present application can guide patients to perform autonomous and independent tongue muscle and lip muscle training, and can be combined with various training methods; the present application can increase or decrease the number of data acquisition devices according to actual clinical needs.

[0060] During the actual implementation process, the embodiment of the present application can formulate the user's training goals based on the patient assessment information, so as to adjust the user's tongue muscle training difficulty according to the training goals, thereby improving the training effect.

[0061] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, a mechanical characteristic acquisition and analysis system 10 for the lip and tongue muscles further includes: a recording device for recording the user's tongue muscle training progress and effect to obtain a recording result.

[0062] As a possible implementation method, the embodiment of the present application can record the user's tongue muscle training progress and effect through the terminal according to the patient's tongue muscle training situation to obtain recorded results, which is helpful to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment plan and make adjustments as needed.

[0063] Specifically, it can be combined Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the working principle of a mechanical characteristic acquisition and analysis system of the lip and tongue muscles in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail with a specific embodiment.

[0064] like Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present application may include: three pressure sensors, a sampling and amplifying circuit, a DC-DC, a Bluetooth + MCU chip, a Bluetooth transmitting circuit, a voltage detection module, a battery module, a charging management circuit module, a rectifier module, a wireless charging receiving module, and a wireless charging transmitting module.

[0065] Furthermore, the improved transparent aligner is combined with a sensor, and the sensor is located at Figure 3 and Figure 4 1- Labial surface of maxillary anterior teeth; Figure 4 2-the gingival side of the maxillary anterior teeth lingual protuberance, 3-the area between the left and right maxillary second premolars and the first molars near the mid-palatal suture, where 4 is a circuit component. The characteristic of this embodiment is that the labial sensor is directly located on the labial surface of the maxillary anterior teeth, does not extend to the labial vestibule groove, does not compress the mucosa, and directly and efficiently measures the strength of the lip muscles; the two point sensors on the palate measure the strength of the tongue muscles, which well reflects the strength characteristics of the tongue muscles.

[0066] According to the mechanical characteristic acquisition and analysis system of the lip and tongue muscles proposed in the embodiment of the present application, through universal, comfortable, effective, safe and convenient monitoring means, it can be combined with the corresponding oral appliance and fixed in the oral cavity, and the strength of the patient's tongue and lip muscles can be monitored in real time, so that the strength of the patient's tongue and lip muscles during training and non-training can be monitored, and the collected information can be wirelessly transmitted to the terminal in real time, so that the patient and the doctor can view the patient's lip and tongue muscle conditions in real time, and through the information processing and analysis of the terminal system, the patient's condition can be evaluated accordingly, and then the patient can be reminded and guided. Thus, it solves the problem that most of the related technologies focus on the training of the lip and tongue muscles, ignoring the importance of monitoring the lip closure and tongue muscle lifting of the person in the relaxed state, and can only monitor the situation during training, and cannot perform 24-hour real-time monitoring, and cannot monitor the lip and tongue muscles of the patient in the resting state, so it is impossible for the doctor to understand the accurate condition of the lip and tongue muscles, and the corresponding training device has a relatively single training method and cannot be combined with a variety of training methods.

[0067] Next, a method for collecting and analyzing the mechanical characteristics of the lip and tongue muscles proposed in accordance with an embodiment of the present application will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0068] Figure 5 It is a flow chart of a method for collecting and analyzing the mechanical characteristics of the lip and tongue muscles according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0069] like Figure 5 As shown, the method for collecting and analyzing the mechanical characteristics of the lip and tongue muscles comprises the following steps:

[0070] In step S501, lip mechanical signals generated by the lips and / or palate mechanical signals generated by the tongue muscles are collected.

[0071] In step S502, the user's tongue muscle strength information and / or lip muscle strength information is identified based on the lip mechanical signals and / or palate mechanical signals, and the user's patient assessment information is generated based on the tongue muscle strength information and / or lip muscle strength information.

[0072] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, after generating the user's patient assessment information based on the tongue muscle strength information and / or the lip muscle strength information, it also includes: generating training reminder suggestions and / or training instructions for the user based on the patient assessment information.

[0074] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, lip mechanical signals generated by the lips and / or palate mechanical signals generated by the tongue muscles are collected, including: collecting lip pressure signals generated by the lips and / or tongue muscle pressure signals generated by the tongue muscles; amplifying the lip pressure signals and / or tongue muscle pressure signals to obtain amplified lip pressure signals and / or amplified tongue muscle pressure signals; and wirelessly transmitting the amplified lip pressure signals and / or the amplified tongue muscle pressure signals to a preset terminal to provide training reminders to the user.

[0075] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, collecting lip mechanical signals generated by the lips and / or palate mechanical signals generated by the tongue muscles also includes: detecting the voltage generated by the battery; converting the voltage into direct current that meets preset stability conditions; based on the direct current, matching the voltage and current that meet different preset conditions according to the voltage, and charging the battery according to the voltage and current that meet the different preset conditions.

[0076] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, collecting lip mechanical signals generated by the lips and / or palate mechanical signals generated by the tongue muscles also includes: sending a charging request to at least one external wireless charging device; receiving magnetic field energy generated by at least one external wireless charging device in response to the charging request, and converting the magnetic field energy into electrical energy to charge the battery.

[0077] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, it also includes: recording the user's tongue muscle training progress and effect to obtain recorded results.

[0078] It should be noted that the above explanation of the embodiment of a system for collecting and analyzing the mechanical characteristics of the lip and tongue muscles is also applicable to the method for collecting and analyzing the mechanical characteristics of the lip and tongue muscles of this embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0079] According to the mechanical characteristics collection and analysis method of the lip and tongue muscles proposed in the embodiment of the present application, it can be combined with the corresponding oral appliance and fixed in the oral cavity to implement real-time monitoring of the strength of the patient's tongue and lip muscles, so that the strength of the patient's tongue and lip muscles during training and non-training can be monitored, and the collected information can be wirelessly transmitted to the terminal in real time, so that the patient and the doctor can view the patient's lip and tongue muscle conditions in real time, and through the information processing and analysis of the terminal system, the patient's condition can be evaluated accordingly, and then the patient can be reminded and guided. Thus, it solves the problem that most of the related technologies focus on the training of the lip and tongue muscles, ignoring the importance of monitoring the lip closure and tongue muscle lifting of the person in the relaxed state, and can only monitor the situation during training, and cannot perform 24-hour real-time monitoring, and cannot monitor the lip and tongue muscles of the patient in the resting state, so it is impossible for the doctor to understand the accurate condition of the lip and tongue muscles, and the corresponding training device has a relatively single training method and cannot be combined with a variety of training methods.

[0086] The memory 601 may include a high-speed RAM memory, and may also include a non-volatile memory (non-volatile memory), such as at least one disk memory.

[0087] If the memory 601, the processor 602 and the communication interface 603 are implemented independently, the communication interface 603, the memory 601 and the processor 602 can be connected to each other through a bus and communicate with each other.
