Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical assistive device technology, specifically to an integrated assistive oral orthodontic mouth opener. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional mouth openers operate at the front of the mouth, contacting the upper and lower teeth to open the oral cavity and assist dentists in treating the interior. However, traditional mouth openers occupy the front of the mouth, causing the instruments to come into contact with the opener during treatment, thus obstructing the dentist's work and affecting treatment effectiveness. Furthermore, traditional mouth openers only have two symmetrical support rods, limiting their use to either vertical or horizontal openings. This restricts their application to specific environments. In routine treatments, multiple locations within the mouth often require treatment, making the two symmetrical rods insufficient for providing multi-angle support and effective treatment. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated assisted orthodontic mouth opener to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an integrated assisted orthodontic mouth opener, comprising a left handle and a right handle, both of which are sleeved on the outside of a hinged sleeve, allowing them to rotate. A front opening rod is fixedly connected to the front end of both the left and right handles. The front opening rod is U-shaped. A connecting rod is provided between the left and right handles, and the connecting rod is controlled by a locking component. A side opening rod is provided at the position of the hinged sleeve, and the side opening rod is U-shaped.

[0005] Preferably, the locking component includes a sliding block, a sliding groove is provided in the right handle, the sliding block is slidably connected in the sliding groove, the side of the sliding block away from the left handle extends out of the right handle, a number of locking teeth are fixedly provided at the position where the sliding block extends out of the right handle, one end of a connecting rod is hinged to the sliding block, and the other end of the connecting rod is hinged in the left handle.

[0006] Preferably, a locking block is hinged inside the right handle, and an anti-slip handle is fixedly connected to the side of the locking block away from the left handle. A locking rod is also fixedly connected to the locking block away from the left handle, and several locking teeth are fixedly provided on the locking rod. An elastic piece is provided on the right handle near the left handle, one end of which is fixedly connected to the right handle, and the other end of which contacts the locking block.

[0007] Preferably, the lower end of the hinge sleeve is provided with a pad, the middle part of the hinge sleeve is provided with an internal thread, the middle part of the hinge sleeve is threaded to a connecting bolt, the lower end of the connecting bolt extends out of the hinge sleeve and is threaded to the pad, the middle section of the connecting bolt is provided with a chamfered part, so that the middle section of the connecting bolt is an incomplete thread, a driven block is sleeved on the connecting bolt at the chamfered part, the driven block does not contact the incomplete thread, and a push nut is threaded to the connecting bolt at the upper end of the driven block.

[0008] Preferably, the pad is provided with a limiting groove, and a limiting rod is slidably connected in the limiting groove. The limiting rod is L-shaped, and the upper end of the limiting rod is detachably hinged to one end of the push rod. The other end of the push rod is detachably hinged to one side of the driven block, and the other end of the limiting rod is fixedly connected to the side opening rod.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: In addition to having two front opening rods for supporting the upper and lower teeth, the mouth opener of the present invention also has a side opening rod for pulling the corner of the mouth on the side, thereby better exposing the oral cavity to the doctor. This eliminates the need to change the position of the mouth opener when facing multi-position treatment, improving treatment efficiency. Furthermore, the mouth opener of the present invention is placed on one side of the oral cavity, freeing up the operating space in front of the oral cavity, making it easier for the doctor to observe the oral cavity while using instruments without affecting the doctor's treatment. Secondly, setting a side mouth opener increases the overall structural complexity of the mouth opener. The side opening rod of the mouth opener of the present invention can be disassembled and separated from the main body of the mouth opener. When facing simple treatments, the mouth opener of the present invention is more flexible and reduces the complexity of operation. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0014] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0015] Please see Figure 1-6 To address the issues of traditional mouth openers being located directly in front of the mouth, hindering the doctor's observation and treatment, and the limited application of only two symmetrical support rods, this invention provides a side opening rod 104. This rod not only provides support for the upper and lower teeth but also opens one corner of the mouth, thus better exposing the oral cavity. Furthermore, when placed to one side of the mouth, the mouth opener achieves a supporting effect, facilitating the doctor's observation of the oral cavity while using the instrument. This invention provides a technological... Surgical Solution: An integrated assistive orthodontic mouth opener includes a left handle 101 and a right handle 102. Both the left and right handles 101 and 102 are fitted onto the outside of a hinged sleeve 301, allowing them to rotate. A front opening rod 103, U-shaped, is fixedly connected to the front end of each handle 101 and 102. A connecting rod 203, controlled by a locking assembly, is provided between the left and right handles 101 and 102. A side opening rod 104, also U-shaped, is located at the hinged sleeve 301. A gripping ring is provided at the end of both the left and right handles 101 and 102. Front protective sleeves 401 are fitted onto the outside of the two front opening rods 103, and side protective sleeves 402 are fitted onto the outside of the side opening rods 104.

[0016] To achieve stable fabrication of the left handle 101 and right handle 102, and to further stabilize and support the upper and lower teeth, a locking assembly is provided. The locking assembly includes a sliding block 202. A sliding groove 201 is provided within the right handle 102, and the sliding block 202 is slidably connected within the sliding groove 201. The side of the sliding block 202 away from the left handle 101 extends out of the right handle 102. Several locking teeth 207 are fixedly provided at the position where the sliding block 202 extends out of the right handle 102. One end of a connecting rod 203 is hinged to the sliding block 202, and the other end of the connecting rod 203 is hinged to the left handle 101. Inside 01; a locking block 204 is hinged inside the right handle 102. The side of the locking block 204 away from the left handle 101 is fixedly connected to the anti-slip handle 205. The anti-slip handle 205 is provided with anti-slip texture. A locking rod 206 is also fixedly connected to the locking block 204 away from the left handle 101. Several locking teeth 207 are fixedly provided on the locking rod 206. An elastic piece 208 is provided on the right handle 102 near the left handle 101. One end of the elastic piece 208 is fixedly connected to the right handle 102, and the other end of the elastic piece 208 is in contact with the locking block 204.

[0017] When it is necessary to fix the patient's front teeth, first press the anti-slip handle 205. The anti-slip handle 205 drives the locking block 204 to rotate around the hinge point. The end of the locking block 204 near the elastic plate 208 is set as a protrusion. When the locking block 204 rotates, the protrusion will contact the elastic plate 208 and thus push the elastic plate 208 up. At the same time, the locking block 204 drives the locking rod 206 to move. The locking rod 206 drives the locking teeth 207 on it to move. The locking teeth 207 cancel the contact with the locking teeth 207 on the sliding block 202. At this time, the sliding block 202 can be moved. At this time, the rings at the ends of the left handle 101 and the right handle 102 cause the left handle 101 and the right handle 102 to open. The end of the connecting rod 203 that is hinged to the left handle 101 begins to rotate, thereby causing the sliding block 202 to slide inside the right handle 102. At the same time, the left handle 101 and the right handle 102 will cause the front opening rods 103 on them to open. The two front opening rods 103 contact the upper and lower teeth respectively, thereby opening the upper and lower teeth. At this time, the anti-slip handle 205 is released, and the elastic plate 208... The locking block 204 rotates due to its elasticity, causing the locking rod 206 to move. The locking rod 206 then moves its locking teeth 207, which contact the locking teeth 207 on the sliding block 202, fixing the position of the sliding block 202. At this point, the left handle 101 and right handle 102 are also fixed. Furthermore, the two front opening rods 103 also fix the upper and lower teeth, allowing observation or treatment to begin. After use, press the anti-slip handle 205 again to close the left handle 101 and right handle 102, then release the anti-slip handle 205. The mouth opener can then be removed from the patient's mouth.

[0018] To address the issue that adding a side mouth opener increases the overall structural complexity of the mouth opener, and to achieve the goal of detaching the side mouth opener rod 104 from the main body of the mouth opener, making the mouth opener more flexible and reducing operational complexity for simple treatments, a connecting bolt 302 is provided. A pad 304 is provided at the lower end of the hinge sleeve 301. The middle part of the hinge sleeve 301 is internally threaded, and the connecting bolt 302 is threaded to the middle part of the hinge sleeve 301. The lower end of the connecting bolt 302 extends out of the hinge sleeve 301 and is threaded to the pad 304. The middle section of the connecting bolt 302 is provided with a chamfered section 303, which allows for... The middle section of the connecting bolt 302 has an incomplete thread. A driven block 306 is fitted on the connecting bolt 302 at the position of the cut surface 303. The driven block 306 does not contact the incomplete thread. A push nut 307 is threadedly connected to the connecting bolt 302 at the upper end of the driven block 306. A limit groove 305 is provided on the pad 304. A limit rod 308 is slidably connected in the limit groove 305. The limit rod 308 is L-shaped. The upper end of the limit rod 308 is detachably hinged to one end of the push rod 309. The other end of the push rod 309 is detachably hinged to one side of the driven block 306. The other end of the limit rod 308 is fixedly connected to the side opening rod 104.

[0019] When it is necessary to open the corner of a patient's mouth, firstly, use a mouth opener to fix the patient's front teeth. Then, place the lateral mouth opener 104 inside the corner of the patient's mouth, with its U-shaped shape locking at the corner. At this time, rotate the push nut 307, which moves the driven block 306 downward. The driven block 306, through the push rod 309, moves the limiting rod 308 within the limiting groove 305. The limiting rod 308 moves the lateral mouth opener 104, pulling the corner of the patient's mouth open on one side, allowing the doctor to begin treatment. After use, rotate the push nut 307, which moves it upward, releasing the constraint on the driven block 306. Then, push the limiting rod 308, which, through the push rod 309, moves the driven block 306 upward and moves the lateral mouth opener 104 away from the corner of the patient's mouth, thus releasing the fixation on the corner of the patient's mouth. During this process, the driven block 306 is kept centered by the push rod 309, thus ensuring that the driven block 306 does not come into contact with the thread.

[0020] When the treatment needs are simple and the side opening rod 104 is not required, it can be removed from the mouth opener. First, remove one end of the push rod 309 from the driven block 306 or the limiting rod 308. Then, rotate the connecting bolt 302. The connecting bolt 302 will first disengage from the pad 304. Continue rotating the connecting bolt 302 until it disengages from the hinge sleeve 301. At this point, the connecting bolt 302 and the side opening rod 104 can be removed separately. When the side opening rod 104 needs to be reinstalled, first place the pad 304 under the hinge sleeve 301. Then, rotate the connecting bolt 302 so that it is threadedly connected to the hinge sleeve 301 and the pad 304 in sequence. Finally, fix the movable end of the push rod 309 back to the driven block 306 or the limiting rod 308 to complete the installation.

[0021] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
