Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a double-sided anti-fog magnifying mouth mirror. Background Art
[0002] In oral clinical procedures, the mouth mirror, as a core instrument, undertakes the basic functions of reflecting vision and pulling soft tissue. However, traditional mouth mirrors have significant limitations in practical applications: First, water mist easily condenses on the mirror surface in low-temperature environments. Due to the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the mouth and the high humidity environment, the mirror surface frequently fogs up, forcing doctors to interrupt operations to wipe it, seriously slowing down diagnosis and treatment efficiency; second, the field of view in narrow cavities is limited. Traditional flat mirrors cannot provide magnified vision. Doctors need to get too close to the patient or rely on external magnification equipment, which increases operator fatigue and affects exploration accuracy; third, the mirror surface is difficult to thoroughly clean after blood and saliva adhere to it. Residual stains interfere with image clarity and may even cause cross-infection risks; fourth, the lack of single functionality means that in clinical practice, it is often necessary to switch between conventional reflection and magnification observation modes. However, existing mouth mirrors cannot dynamically adjust the functional surface, forcing doctors to repeatedly change instruments and disrupting operational continuity.
[0003] While some improvements have been attempted to address these issues, none have systematically addressed the multiple pain points. For example, anti-fog coatings easily wear out and fail, external magnification devices increase the instrument's bulk and interfere with operation, and simple two-sided mouth mirrors lack quick switching and self-cleaning capabilities. These piecemeal improvements, without reconstructing the underlying logic of the instruments, still force doctors to compromise between efficiency and user experience. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a double-sided anti-fog magnifying mouth mirror, which integrates plane reflection and magnifying double mirrors and can be quickly switched by a servo drive; the microfluidic system realizes anti-fog and self-cleaning to reduce the risk of contamination, and significantly improves the efficiency of oral diagnosis and treatment and the continuity of operation.
[0005] In order to achieve the above technical objectives and the above technical effects, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: A double-sided anti-fog magnifying mouth mirror, comprising: The lens body is composed of a plane reflector on the A side and an aspheric magnifying lens on the B side fixed back to back; A rotating connection mechanism includes an outer shell and a central connecting rod, and the lens body is rotatably connected to the frame through the central connecting rod; A frame, covering the edge of the lens body, with an annular distribution cavity inside, and the frame is fixedly connected to the handle assembly through an outer shell; The microfluidic cleaning system includes: multiple injection holes on the inner side of the top of the frame, which are used to spray physiological saline onto the surface of the lens body, with the injection direction forming an angle of 25°-35° with the lens surface; multiple suction holes on the inner side of the bottom of the frame, which are used to suck out liquid and dirt; the annular distribution chamber is a double-layer independent structure, with the upper chamber connected to the injection holes and the lower chamber connected to the suction holes; The handle assembly has a built-in servo, which drives the lens body to rotate through a central connecting rod to achieve working switching between side A and side B.
[0006] Furthermore, the microchannel cleaning system includes a hydraulic pump, a saline tank, a negative pressure pump and a waste liquid tank, wherein: the injection hole is connected to the hydraulic pump and the saline tank through the upper cavity of the annular distribution cavity and the connecting pipe; the suction hole is connected to the negative pressure pump and the waste liquid tank through the lower cavity of the annular distribution cavity and the connecting pipe.
[0007] Furthermore, the working negative pressure of the suction hole is 1.0-1.4 kPa.
[0008] Furthermore, the surface equation of the B-side aspheric magnifying mirror is: Where c is the curvature, k is the cone coefficient, -0.8≤k≤-0.5, A 2i The coefficient of the higher-order term |A4|≤10 -3 .
[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a foot switch and a connector. The foot switch is provided with an independent control group to control the rotation of the servo, the start and stop of the injection hole and the start and stop of the suction hole respectively; the connector is provided with a manual control button for switching the working surface of the lens body.
[0010] Furthermore, a heating anti-fog module is also provided: a transparent metal oxide heating film (ITO / FTO, thickness ≤ 0.05mm) is embedded in the lens body, and the surface is covered with a medical-grade silica insulation layer to achieve biocompatibility and corrosion resistance. A patch-type temperature sensor monitors the mirror surface temperature in real time, and a PID control algorithm is used to maintain the mirror surface temperature at 42±1°C (always higher than the saturated steam temperature in the mouth), completely eliminating fogging caused by temperature differences. Furthermore, the heating and anti-fogging module features a hardware fuse that automatically cuts off the circuit to ensure the heating temperature is below the oral mucosal burn threshold of 45°C. A gradient temperature limit is implemented, reducing power when temperatures exceed 43°C and forcing a power outage when temperatures exceed 45°C. This eliminates fog and vapor through physical heating, avoiding secondary fogging caused by spraying.
[0011] Beneficial effects of the present invention: The present application realizes efficient mirror anti-fog function through the micro-channel cleaning system arranged in the mirror frame. The mirror surface can be uniformly sprayed with physiological saline for anti-fog and dirt cleaning through a plurality of spray holes. The spray holes are designed to maintain a proper angle with the mirror surface, so that the liquid can effectively cover and flow, reducing the mirror fogging caused by temperature difference and humidity change. Unlike the traditional anti-fog coating, the system sprays liquid dynamically, not only effectively reducing the mirror fogging frequency, but also eliminating the risk of coating wear and failure, thereby ensuring the visual clarity during long operation and improving the continuity of the surgical process.
[0012] The lens body adopts a double-sided design, one side is a plane mirror, and the other side is a non-spherical magnifying glass. Through the built-in rotating connection mechanism and rudder assembly, the physician can quickly switch the mirror function to meet different diagnosis and treatment needs. The non-spherical magnifying glass design provides a magnified field of view while having good distortion control capability. Thanks to its precise curved surface parameter adjustment, the magnified image is greatly improved in both clarity and accuracy. It effectively makes up for the deficiency of the traditional mouth mirror in providing clear and magnified view in a narrow cavity, so that the physician can quickly obtain a more detailed observation effect without the aid of external equipment.
[0013] The present application combines the spray cleaning and suction functions through the annular distribution cavity inside the mirror frame, forming a closed-loop cleaning system. The mirror surface can be cleaned by spraying physiological saline through the spray holes, combined with the suction holes at the bottom end of the mirror frame, which can effectively remove blood, saliva and other impurities attached to the mirror surface. It reduces the impact of mirror contamination on image quality and reduces the risk of cross-infection caused by mirror contamination. The self-cleaning function not only maintains the mirror surface clean, but also reduces the frequency of manual cleaning by the physician during operation, improving the overall operation efficiency and safety.
[0014] The device integrates a foot switch and a rotating control system, so that the operator can complete the function switching of the double-sided mirror and the start-stop control of the spray and suction through simple foot operation. Not only does it free the physician's hands, but it also further optimizes the operation convenience of the instrument in use. The accuracy and sensitivity of the control system are ensured, and through the positioning control algorithm of the rudder, the lens is accurately and quickly rotated, and combined with the operation button of the connector, the physician can easily realize the function control of the mirror, enhancing the smoothness and efficiency of the diagnosis and treatment operation.
[0015] Of course, any product implementing the present application does not necessarily need to achieve all the advantages described above. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
