Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of oral snoring prevention devices, and in particular relates to a snoring prevention device. Background Art

[0002] A snoring device is a device that helps reduce or eliminate snoring symptoms. It mainly includes oral appliances and electronic snoring devices. Oral appliances are usually customized according to the patient's tooth model. They expand the airway space and reduce airflow obstruction by stretching the mandible forward or restricting the tongue from falling back, thereby alleviating snoring. Electronic snoring devices mostly use biosensor technology. When snoring is detected, it will emit mild electrical pulses or vibrations to stimulate the nerves and muscles and adjust the breathing state during sleep. Snoring devices are easy to use and do not require surgery. They are more effective for patients with mild to moderate snoring, can improve sleep quality, and reduce health risks caused by snoring. At the same time, snoring devices also have some limitations. For example, oral appliances may cause oral discomfort, and electronic snoring devices may not be effective for patients with severe snoring, and patients need to persist in using them to achieve better results.

[0003] Since most existing snoring suppressors are fixed, the position of the mandible cannot be adjusted during use. When the mandible protrudes too far forward, discomfort will occur, which will make it difficult to fall asleep or affect the quality of sleep. At the same time, some existing adjustable snoring suppressors are mostly complex in structure, which will lead to a significant foreign body sensation in the mouth, increasing discomfort, and the adjustment method is relatively cumbersome. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art and provide a snoring prevention device.

[0005] The technical solution adopted to solve the above technical problems is: to provide a snoring prevention device, including an upper tooth shell and a lower tooth shell, wherein the inner walls of the upper tooth shell and the lower tooth shell are fixedly connected to the customized tooth crown assembly, and the front ends of the upper tooth shell and the lower tooth shell are fixedly connected to the front ends of the sides close to each other;

[0006] The rear ends of both sides of the bottom of the upper tooth housing are fixedly connected with an adjustment limit mechanism, the inner walls of the two adjustment limit mechanisms are slidably connected with a sliding adjustment mechanism, and a linkage silicone mechanism is fixedly connected between the bottom of the two sliding adjustment mechanisms and the top of the lower tooth housing;

[0007] The tops of the two linked silicone mechanisms are each provided with an adjustment slot mechanism, two side limit plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the lower tooth housing, and opening and closing limit mechanisms are fixedly connected to the front ends of the side limit plates on both sides of the top of the lower tooth housing.

[0008] Furthermore, the customized braces assembly includes a soft connecting gasket fixedly connected to the inner surface of the bottom of the upper tooth shell or the lower tooth shell, and a silicone braces body is fixedly connected between the soft connecting gasket and the upper tooth shell or the lower tooth shell, and the silicone braces body includes an integrally connected incisor engagement groove and two molar engagement grooves.

[0009] Through the above technical solution, when using, the entire snoring device is cleaned, and then the lower jaw is moved forward, the entire device is engaged in the mouth, and the upper and lower rows of teeth are engaged in the corresponding silicone braces body. The silicone braces body is a customized structure that can fully engage with the user's tooth structure to ensure the stability of the engagement.

[0010] Furthermore, the adjustment limit mechanism includes a fixed connecting plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper tooth shell body, both sides of the fixed connecting plate are fixedly connected to side limit rails, the front end of the fixed connecting plate is fixedly connected to the port sealing plate, and the bottom of the fixed connecting plate is fixedly connected to an adjustment block.

[0011] Through the above technical solution, during use, the upper tooth shell and the adjustment limit mechanism are an integrated structure, connected to the upper jaw, and the whole is relatively static. Except for the corresponding customized braces assembly, the remaining parts are movable parts, connected to the lower jaw, and drive the remaining parts to move when the lower jaw is adjusted.

[0012] Furthermore, the sliding adjustment mechanism includes an adjusting sliding plate slidably connected to the bottom of the adjusting limit mechanism, side limit strips are fixedly connected on both sides of the adjusting sliding plate, a snap-fit connecting plate is fixedly connected to one side of the adjusting sliding plate, and the snap-fit connecting plate is fixedly connected to two fixed blocks at the bottom of the side away from the adjusting sliding plate.

[0013] Through the above technical solution, in the closed state, the adjustment block is engaged in the adjustment slot mechanism, thereby realizing the fixation between the overall adjustment slot mechanism and the linkage silicone mechanism and the upper tooth shell, realizing the limit fixation between the upper tooth shell and the lower tooth shell, and avoiding the retraction of the lower jaw. At the same time, the engaging connecting plate is inside the opening and closing limit mechanism, and the two fixed blocks are at the bottom of the corresponding inclined movable block, and the corresponding integrated block is used to complete the engagement of the fixed block, so that the overall sliding adjustment mechanism and the opening and closing limit mechanism can realize the vertical limit, thereby avoiding the upper tooth shell and the lower tooth shell from separating up and down.

[0014] Furthermore, the adjusting sliding plate and the two side limiting strips are an integrated structure, and the front and rear ends of the bottom of the engaging connecting plate are both inclined structures.

[0015] The above technical solution ensures that the inclined surface structure at the bottom of the engaging connecting plate can be stably inserted into the interior of the opening and closing limiting mechanism during subsequent closing.

[0016] Furthermore, the linkage silicone mechanism includes a first fixed silicone sheet fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding adjustment mechanism, one end of the first fixed silicone sheet is fixedly connected to a first inclined silicone seat, the other side of the first inclined silicone seat is fixedly connected to a U-shaped elastic silicone sheet, the other end of the U-shaped elastic silicone sheet is fixedly connected to a second fixed silicone sheet at the bottom of the first inclined silicone seat, the other end of the second fixed silicone sheet is fixedly connected to a second inclined silicone seat, and the top of the first inclined silicone seat is provided with a placement groove corresponding to the adjustment slot mechanism.

[0017] Through the above technical solution, in the closed state, the first inclined silicone seat is fixed by adjusting the fixation between the limiting mechanism and the adjusting slot mechanism. Then, when the lower jaw wants to drive the second inclined silicone seat to move downward, the second inclined silicone seat is limited by the inclined surface of the first inclined silicone seat and the extrusion force, thereby avoiding the retraction of the lower jaw.

[0018] Furthermore, the second fixed silicone sheet and the second beveled silicone seat are an integrated structure and are both fixedly connected to the top of the lower tooth shell. The integrated structure of the first fixed silicone sheet and the first beveled silicone seat is centrally symmetrical with the integrated structure of the second fixed silicone sheet and the second beveled silicone seat and fits each other.

[0019] Through the above technical solution, when adjusting, the lower jaw is extended and then opened. First, the integrated structure of the second fixed silicone sheet and the second inclined silicone seat moves forward with the lower jaw, separates from the first fixed silicone sheet and the first inclined silicone seat, and causes the U-shaped elastic silicone sheet to deform. Then, the second fixed silicone sheet and the second inclined silicone seat open with the lower jaw. At this time, the first inclined silicone seat has no support and falls with the adjustment slot mechanism, thereby releasing the limit between it and the adjustment limit mechanism.

[0020] Furthermore, the adjustment slot mechanism includes a mounting shell that is engaged with the top of the linkage silicone mechanism, the inner wall of the mounting shell is fixedly connected to a slot base, the interior of the slot base is fixedly connected to a plurality of integrated limiting protrusions, and the bottom of the mounting shell is fixedly connected to a reinforcing connector.

[0021] Through the above technical solution, when closing, the adjustment block is inserted between the multiple limiting protrusions to achieve limiting fixation and avoid retraction of the mandible.

[0022] Furthermore, the opening and closing limit mechanism includes a side fixing seat fixedly connected to the top of the lower tooth shell body, the top of the side fixing seat is fixedly connected to a triangular guide bar, the front and rear ends of the side fixing seat are fixedly connected to a side blocking plate, one side of the side fixing seat is provided with two receiving grooves, the inner walls of the two receiving grooves are slidably connected with inclined movable blocks, two return springs are installed between one side of the two inclined movable blocks and the inner wall of the receiving groove, and the other side of the two inclined movable blocks is fixedly connected with an integrated clamping block.

[0023] Through the above technical solution, after adjusting the position of the lower jaw, the lower jaw merges and drives the upper tooth shell and the lower tooth shell to merge. At this time, the locking connecting plate is inserted into the opening and closing limit mechanism, and the fixed block squeezes the inclined surface of the upper half of the inclined movable block to squeeze the inclined surface until the fixed block is reset to the bottom of the inclined movable block. Under the action of the reset spring, the inclined movable block is reset, and the integrated block is used to limit the fixed block to prevent the upper tooth shell and the lower tooth shell from opening, thereby preventing the user from opening his mouth when sleeping. At the same time, it also ensures the limiting effect between the adjustment block and the adjustment slot mechanism. At the same time, when opening, the lower jaw is extended forward, and the overall opening and closing limit mechanism moves forward relative to the sliding adjustment mechanism, thereby driving the two inclined movable blocks to move forward, so that the two stationary fixed blocks are separated from the corresponding integrated block restrictions, and the lower jaw can be opened at this time.

[0024] Furthermore, the inclined surface movable block has a triangular double inclined surface structure on the side away from the return spring, the inclined surface movable block and the integrated clamping block are an integrated structure, and the integrated clamping block is an inverted trapezoidal structure.

[0025] Through the above technical solution, it is ensured that when the fixed block descends, the upper inclined surface of the triangle is used to compress the inclined movable block and then complete the engagement. After the entire inclined movable block moves forward, the fixed block can be separated from the integrated block structure and rise along the lower inclined surface of the inclined movable block. At the same time, the integrated block with an inverted trapezoidal structure can provide a guide for the rise of the inclined movable block.

[0026] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: (1) The present invention designs an adjustment limit mechanism, a sliding adjustment mechanism, a linkage silicone mechanism, an adjustment slot mechanism and an opening and closing limit mechanism. The lower jaw can be opened by moving the lower jaw forward a short distance, and then the position of the lower jaw can be adjusted within the set range of the device to ensure wearing comfort. After the lower jaw is opened, it is adjusted to a comfortable position and then the lower jaw is closed. At this time, the first step of limiting can be achieved by adjusting the limit mechanism and the adjustment slot mechanism, avoiding the recovery of the lower jaw. At the same time, the locking limit of the sliding adjustment mechanism and the opening and closing limit mechanism can prevent the upper and lower jaws from opening automatically during sleep, and also ensure the stability of the first step of limiting, so that the user can adjust the position of the lower jaw by moving the lower jaw forward, opening The snoring device can be adjusted by moving the lower jaw, adjusting the lower jaw, and closing the lower jaw. The operation is simple and the structure is simple. (2) The present invention designs a linkage silicone mechanism. When the lower jaw is closed, the inclined surfaces of the first inclined silicone seat and the second inclined silicone seat in the linkage silicone mechanism fit together to achieve the transmission of the supporting force, thereby avoiding the retraction of the lower jaw. At the same time, the movable U-shaped elastic silicone sheet can also achieve the separation of the second inclined silicone seat and the first inclined silicone seat without affecting each other when the lower jaw moves forward. When the lower jaw is opened, the overall linkage silicone mechanism can also be linked to the sliding adjustment mechanism, so that it can move simultaneously with the lower jaw, ensuring that the sliding adjustment mechanism and the opening and closing limit mechanism can be aligned and engaged when closed.

When in the closed state, the adjustment block 504 is snapped into the adjustment slot mechanism 8, thereby realizing the fixation between the overall adjustment slot mechanism 8 and the linkage silicone mechanism 7 and the upper tooth shell 1, and realizing the connection between the upper tooth shell 1 and the lower tooth shell 2. The limiting fixation prevents the mandible from being retracted. At the same time, the locking connecting plate 603 is inside the opening and closing limiting mechanism 10, and the two fixed blocks 604 are at the bottom of the corresponding inclined movable blocks 1005. The corresponding integrated blocks 1007 are used to complete the locking of the fixed blocks 604, so that the overall sliding adjustment mechanism 6 and the opening and closing limiting mechanism 10 can be limited in the vertical direction, thereby preventing the upper tooth shell 1 and the lower tooth shell 2 from being separated up and down. The adjustment sliding plate 601 and the two side limiting strips 602 are an integrated structure, and the front and rear ends of the bottom of the locking connecting plate 603 are both inclined structures, which ensures that the inclined structure at the bottom of the locking connecting plate 603 can be stably inserted into the interior of the opening and closing limiting mechanism 10 during subsequent closure.

[0049] like Figures 1-12As shown, a linkage silicone mechanism 7 is fixedly connected between the bottom of the two sliding adjustment mechanisms 6 and the top of the lower tooth shell 2. The linkage silicone mechanism 7 includes a first fixed silicone sheet 701 fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding adjustment mechanism 6, one end of the first fixed silicone sheet 701 is fixedly connected to a first inclined silicone seat 702, and the other side of the first inclined silicone seat 702 is fixedly connected to a U-shaped elastic silicone sheet 703, the other end of the U-shaped elastic silicone sheet 703 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first inclined silicone seat 702, and the other end of the second fixed silicone sheet 704 is fixedly connected to the second inclined silicone seat 705.

In the closed state, the first inclined silicone seat 702 is fixed by adjusting the fixation between the limit mechanism 5 and the adjustment slot mechanism 8. Then, when the lower jaw wants to drive the second inclined silicone seat 705 to move downward, the first inclined silicone seat 706 is used to fix the first inclined silicone seat 702. 02's inclined surface and extrusion force realize the limitation of the second inclined silicone seat 705, avoiding the retraction of the mandible, the second fixed silicone sheet 704 and the second inclined silicone seat 705 are an integrated structure, and are both fixedly connected to the top of the lower tooth shell 2, the integrated structure of the first fixed silicone sheet 701 and the first inclined silicone seat 702 and the integrated structure of the second fixed silicone sheet 704 and the second inclined silicone seat 705 are a centrally symmetrical structure, and fit each other. During adjustment, the mandible is extended and then opened, first, the integrated structure of the second fixed silicone sheet 704 and the second inclined silicone seat 705 moves forward with the mandible, separates from the first fixed silicone sheet 701 and the first inclined silicone seat 702, and causes the U-shaped elastic silicone sheet 703 to deform, and then the second fixed silicone sheet 704 and the second inclined silicone seat 705 open with the mandible, at this time the first inclined silicone seat 702 has no support, and falls with the adjustment slot mechanism 8, thereby releasing the limit between it and the adjustment limit mechanism 5.

[0050] like Figures 1-12 As shown, the tops of the two linked silicone mechanisms 7 are each provided with an adjusting slot mechanism 8, and the adjusting slot mechanism 8 includes a mounting shell 801 that is engaged with the top of the linked silicone mechanism 7, and the inner wall of the mounting shell 801 is fixedly connected with a slot base 802, and the interior of the slot base 802 is fixedly connected with a plurality of integrated limiting protrusions 803, and the bottom of the mounting shell 801 is fixedly connected with a reinforcing connector 804. When closed, the adjusting block 504 is inserted between the plurality of limiting protrusions 803 to achieve limiting fixation and avoid mandibular retraction. Two side limiting plates 9 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the lower tooth shell 2.

[0051] like Figures 1-17As shown, both sides of the top of the lower tooth housing 2 are fixedly connected to the front end of the side limit plate 9 with an opening and closing limit mechanism 10, and the opening and closing limit mechanism 10 includes a side fixing seat 1001 fixedly connected to the top of the lower tooth housing 2, and a triangular guide bar 1002 is fixedly connected to the top of the side fixing seat 1001. The front and rear ends of the side fixing seat 1001 are fixedly connected to the side blocking plate 1003. One side of the side fixing seat 1001 is provided with two receiving grooves 1004. The inner walls of the two receiving grooves 1004 are slidably connected with an inclined movable block 1005. One side of the two inclined movable blocks 1005 and the receiving groove 100 4 are installed between the inner walls of the two return springs 1006, the other side of the two inclined movable blocks 1005 are fixedly connected with an integrated clamping block 1007, after adjusting the position of the mandible, the mandible merges and drives the merger of the upper tooth shell 1 and the lower tooth shell 2, at this time the engaging connecting plate 603 is inserted into the opening and closing limit mechanism 10, the fixed clamping block 604 squeezes the inclined surface of the upper half of the inclined movable block 1005 to squeeze the inclined movable block 1005 until the fixed clamping block 604 is reset to the bottom of the inclined movable block 1005, and the inclined movable block 1005 is reset under the action of the return spring 1006, so that The integrated card block 1007 is used to limit the fixed card block 604 to prevent the upper tooth shell 1 and the lower tooth shell 2 from opening, thereby preventing the user from opening his mouth when sleeping. At the same time, it also ensures the limiting effect between the adjustment card block 504 and the adjustment slot mechanism 8. At the same time, when opening, the lower jaw is extended forward, thereby causing the overall opening and closing limiting mechanism 10 to move forward relative to the sliding adjustment mechanism 6, thereby driving the two inclined movable blocks 1005 to move forward, so that the two stationary fixed card blocks 604 are separated from the corresponding integrated card blocks 1007 restrictions. At this time, the lower jaw can be opened, and the inclined movable block 1005 is away from One side of the return spring 1006 is a triangular double-bevel structure, the inclined movable block 1005 and the integrated clamping block 1007 are an integrated structure, and the integrated clamping block 1007 is an inverted trapezoidal structure, which ensures that when the fixed clamping block 604 descends, the inclined movable block 1005 is compressed through the upper inclined surface of the triangular shape and then the engagement is completed. After the overall inclined movable block 1005 moves forward, the fixed clamping block 604 can be separated from the integrated clamping block 1007 structure and rise along the lower inclined surface of the inclined movable block 1005. At the same time, the integrated clamping block 1007 with an inverted trapezoidal structure can provide guidance for the rise of the inclined movable block 1005.

[0052] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: when in use, the entire snoring prevention device is cleaned, and then the lower jaw is moved forward, the entire device is engaged in the oral cavity, and the upper and lower rows of teeth are engaged in the corresponding silicone braces body 302. At this time, the upper tooth shell 1 and the lower tooth shell 2 are in a closed state, and the adjusting block 504 is engaged in the groove formed by the multiple limiting protrusions 803, thereby achieving the fixation between the overall adjustment slot mechanism 8 and the linkage silicone mechanism 7 and the upper tooth shell 1, thereby achieving the limiting fixation between the upper tooth shell 1 and the lower tooth shell 2 to prevent the lower jaw from being retracted. At the same time, the engaging connecting plate 603 is inside the opening and closing limiting mechanism 10, and the two fixed blocks 604 are at the bottom of the corresponding inclined movable block 1005, and the corresponding integrated block 1007 is used to complete the engagement of the fixed block 604, so that the overall sliding adjustment mechanism 6 and the opening and closing limiting mechanism 10 are limited in the vertical direction, thereby preventing the upper tooth shell 1 and the lower tooth shell 2 from separating up and down;

[0053] When you feel that your lower jaw is extended too far and causes discomfort, you can extend your lower jaw forward a short distance. At this time, the lower jaw will drive the lower tooth shell 2 to extend forward through the lower teeth. At the same time, the lower tooth shell 2 drives the second fixed silicone sheet 704 and the second inclined silicone seat 705 fixed thereto to move forward, and the U-shaped elastic silicone sheet 703 is deformed. Due to the engagement and fixation between the adjustment block 504 and the adjustment slot mechanism 8, the first fixed silicone sheet 701 and the first inclined silicone seat 702 and the overall sliding adjustment mechanism 6 remain stationary. At the same time, due to the extension of the lower tooth shell 2, the overall opening and closing limit mechanism 10 moves forward, thereby driving the two inclined movable blocks 1005 to move forward, so that the two stationary fixed blocks 604 are separated from the corresponding integrated blocks 1007. At this time, the lower jaw can be opened, and the fixed block 604 will move along the moved inclined movable block 1 005 inclined surface rises until it is pulled out from the opening and closing limit mechanism 10. At this time, the upper tooth shell 1 and the lower tooth shell 2 are separated. At the same time, the first inclined silicone seat 702 will fall down due to being separated from the support, thereby driving the adjustment slot mechanism 8 to release the limit of the adjustment block 504. At this time, under the elastic reset of the deformed U-shaped elastic silicone sheet 703, as the lower tooth shell 2, the second fixed silicone sheet 704 and the second inclined silicone seat 705 move, the U-shaped elastic silicone sheet 703 will drive the first fixed silicone sheet 701 and the first inclined silicone seat 702 to slide on the adjustment limit mechanism 5 through the sliding adjustment mechanism 6. In the process of adjusting the lower jaw, the sliding adjustment mechanism 6, the linkage silicone mechanism 7, the adjusting slot mechanism 8, the opening and closing limit mechanism 10 and the lower tooth shell 2 move at the same time, and a relative displacement occurs compared to the upper tooth shell 1 and the adjustment limit mechanism 5.

[0054] At this time, the user adjusts the mandible to a suitable position and then closes the mandible. First, the second fixed silicone sheet 704 and the second bevel silicone seat 705 are fitted together with the first fixed silicone sheet 701 and the first bevel silicone seat 702. Then, the adjustment slot mechanism 8 is driven to move to the bottom of the adjustment block 504. The adjustment block 504 is engaged between the multiple limiting protrusions 803 to prevent the mandible from being retracted. At the same time, due to the merging of the upper tooth shell 1 and the lower tooth shell 2, the engaging connecting plate 603 is inserted into the opening and closing limit mechanism 10, and the fixed block 603 is fixed. 04 The inclined surface of the upper half of the inclined movable block 1005 is squeezed to squeeze the inclined surface until the fixed block 604 is reset to the bottom of the inclined movable block 1005. The inclined movable block 1005 is reset under the action of the reset spring 1006, and the integrated block 1007 is used to limit the fixed block 604 to prevent the upper tooth shell 1 and the lower tooth shell 2 from opening, thereby preventing the user from opening his mouth when sleeping, and at the same time ensuring the limiting effect between the adjustment block 504 and the adjustment slot mechanism 8.

[0055] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
