[0034] See Figure 1 and 2As shown in the figure, as an embodiment of the present invention, a tongue pad mechanism is provided, including a bracket 1. One end of the bracket 1 is provided with a biting member 2 for the user to bite and fix. The other end of the bracket 1 is provided with a height-adjustable tongue pad assembly. The tongue pad assembly includes a lifting rod 3 and a tongue pad 4 disposed at the top of the lifting rod 3. The tongue pad 4 is used to lift the tongue upward so that the tongue presses against the palate. In this technical solution, the user can fix the tongue pad mechanism in the user's mouth by biting the biting member 2, and the height of the tongue pad 4 can be adjusted by the lifting rod 3 to adapt to the usage needs of different users. Thus, the tongue pad 4 can lift the user's tongue upward so that the tongue can effectively press against the palate for a long time. This allows the user to maintain the action of pressing the tongue against the palate naturally without having to pay excessive attention to the position of the tongue during work or rest, without having to maintain a high level of concentration at all times, and without having to exert a lot of effort. It is easier and less strenuous, more stable and reliable, and can be maintained for a longer time, thereby effectively achieving the effect of smooth blood circulation and improving facial contours.

[0035] In this embodiment, the biting element 2 is located at the front end of the bracket 1, and the bottom end of the lifting rod 3 is located at the rear end of the bracket 1. This arrangement allows the tongue pad assembly to not only be height-adjustable but also front-back angle-adjustable, thereby better adapting to the size and shape of different users' mouths. This allows the tongue pad 4 to be adjusted to fit the bottom surface of the tongue more closely, providing better support stability.

[0036] In this embodiment, an upper occlusal groove 26 with an upward opening is formed on the upper side of the occlusal member 2, and a lower occlusal groove 27 with a downward opening is formed on the lower side of the occlusal member 2. The user's upper and lower teeth occlude in the upper occlusal groove 26 and the lower occlusal groove 27 respectively, ensuring the occlusal stability of the tongue pad mechanism in the user's oral cavity.

[0037] In this embodiment, the occlusal member 2 includes an occlusal body 21 and a first front plate 22 and a first rear plate 23 located at the front and rear ends of the occlusal body 21 and extending upwards. The first front plate 22, the occlusal body 21, and the first rear plate 23 enclose each other to form the upper occlusal groove 26. The extended end of the first front plate 22 is higher than the extended end of the first rear plate 23. The occlusal member 2 also includes a second front plate 24 and a second rear plate 25 located at the front and rear ends of the occlusal body 21 and extending downwards. The second front plate 24, the occlusal body 21, and the second rear plate 25 enclose each other to form the lower occlusal groove 27. The extended end of the second front plate 24 is lower than the extended end of the second rear plate 25. This arrangement makes the contact area between the occlusal member 2 and the outer side of the tooth larger than the contact area between the occlusal member 2 and the inner side of the tooth, thereby further improving the occlusal stability.

[0038] In this embodiment, the upper occlusal groove 26 and / or the lower occlusal groove 27 are arc-shaped grooves, which better conform to the arrangement shape of the user's teeth, thereby further improving occlusal stability.

[0039] In this embodiment, the lifting rod 3 is a telescopic lifting rod 3, which includes an outer cylinder 31 and an inner rod 32 that slides up and down in the outer cylinder 31. A plurality of position slots 311 are provided on one side of the outer cylinder 31 along the length direction. A limiting block 321 is provided on one side of the inner rod 32. The limiting block 321 cooperates with the position slots 311 to limit the movement, thereby realizing multi-position adjustment of the height of the tongue pad 4, while ensuring the stability of the adjustment and positioning.

[0040] In this embodiment, the tongue pad 4 is a heart-shaped silicone tongue pad, thereby ensuring comfortable support for the tongue. Of course, in other cases, the tongue pad can also be other shapes or materials, as long as it is made of soft and breathable material.

[0041] See Figure 3-5 As shown, the present invention also provides a tongue pad device, including the tongue pad mechanism and storage box described in the above embodiments. A fixing claw 8 is provided on the inner side wall of the storage box. The fixing claw 8 includes a crossbar provided on the inner side wall of the storage box and a semi-tubular claw provided at the extended end of the crossbar. The outer cylinder 31 is snapped onto the claw, so that the tongue pad mechanism is fixedly installed in the storage box by the fixing claw 8, thereby realizing the storage of the tongue pad mechanism, making it convenient to carry, and providing a good protective effect.

[0042] In this embodiment, the storage box includes a cylindrical box body 5 and two box lids 6. The two ends of the box body 5 are respectively provided with box openings, and the two box lids 6 are respectively installed on the box openings at both ends of the box body 5. A partition seat 7 is provided on the box body 5 between the two box openings. The inside of the box body 5 is formed with a first chamber 9 and a second chamber 10 on both sides corresponding to the partition seat 7. That is, the two box openings are respectively located at the two opposite ends of the first chamber 9 and the second chamber 10. The box lids 6 respectively seal and cover the first chamber 9 and the second chamber 10. The tongue pad mechanism is housed in the first chamber 9, and the second chamber 10 is used for the user to hold water for rinsing.

[0043] A rotating cleaning disc 11 is installed on the side of the partition seat 7 near the first chamber 9. The rotating cleaning disc 11 is connected to a drive unit, which is a motor. The motor drives the rotating cleaning disc 11 to rotate. The motor is connected to a power supply and a control button for easy opening and closing by the user. A charging interface 14, specifically a Type-C interface, is also provided on one side of the partition seat 7 for charging the power supply. The surface of the rotating cleaning disc 11 is provided with a boss 12, and a protrusion 13 is provided in the middle of the boss 12. When the control button is turned on, the motor drives the rotating cleaning disc 11 to rotate, which in turn drives the boss 12 and the protrusion 13 to rotate, thereby agitating the water flow in the first chamber 9 to form a vortex, thus cleaning the tongue pad mechanism and ensuring its cleanliness and hygiene. Specifically, the boss 12 is gear-shaped and the protrusion 13 is capsule-shaped, which makes the water flow form a better vortex effect, thereby improving the cleaning effect on the tongue pad mechanism. Of course, the boss 12 and the bump 13 can also be other shapes, which are not limited here. For example, the bump 13 can be a cuboid.

[0044] The storage box is made of plastic, and the inner wall of the storage box corresponding to the first chamber 9 is equipped with a stainless steel wall layer, which is more resistant to high temperature and safer and more reliable.

[0045] The storage box of the above technical solution is normally placed vertically, with the first chamber 9 located above the second chamber 10, so that the tongue pad is suspended in the first chamber 9 to ensure stability. The storage box can realize the function of cleaning and caring for the user's oral cavity and tongue pad mechanism, ensuring the hygiene and comfort of the user during the use of the tongue pad mechanism.
