Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of anti-snoring equipment, in particular to a wearable anti-snoring device. Background Art

[0002] The soft tissues such as the tongue root sink under gravity, causing the airway to narrow. When the air passes through these narrow places during breathing, it will encounter greater resistance. This resistance will cause the mucous membrane or secretions in the narrow part of the airway to vibrate or rub, resulting in snoring.

[0003] In order to fundamentally solve the problem of snoring, it is necessary to use a snoring stopper to move the lower jaw forward to prevent the tongue root, soft palate, etc. from blocking the airway. The commonly used snoring stopper is a snoring stopper worn on the teeth. In order to make the snoring stopper fit the patient's teeth, the existing snoring stopper needs to first collect the patient's tooth model, and then make a toothbrush that only fits the patient according to the tooth model. Since the shape of people's teeth is different, the snoring stopper used by each patient needs to be customized, which takes a long time and has a high cost. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a wearable anti-snoring device to solve the above problems, which can relieve snoring and reduce the use cost.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is a wearable anti-snoring device, which includes a bracket, on which a wearing part and a friction part are arranged, at least two friction parts are arranged, and the wearing part and the friction part are arranged at intervals, and the wearing part includes an upper jaw baffle; the friction part is no longer fixed on the teeth, so compared with the anti-snoring braces worn on the teeth, it can meet the needs of more people, and then the cost of a single product can be reduced through mass production.

[0006] Furthermore, the wearing portion also includes a slot that cooperates with the mandibular teeth to facilitate wearing.

[0007] Furthermore, a flexible layer is provided on the inner wall of the slot to adapt to different tooth sizes and dental arch shapes.

[0008] Furthermore, the bracket is U-shaped, and the friction parts are arranged on both sides of the opening end of the bracket; such a bracket shape can facilitate the placement of the tongue to improve the wearing comfort; and the bracket is not easy to fall off from the mandibular teeth through a three-point fixing method.

[0009] Furthermore, a tongue support plate is provided at the lower end of the middle part of the bracket, and the tongue support plate is connected to the support arms on both sides of the bracket to improve the structural strength of the bracket and prevent it from being easily deformed; in the normal wearing state, the tip of the tongue is placed at the upper end of the anti-detachment part to avoid the tip of the tongue being inserted between the bracket and the teeth, thereby pushing the bracket off the teeth; at the same time, the tongue is located at the upper end of the tongue support plate, so that the tongue in the natural state will give the bracket a downward force, so that the bracket will not detach from the mandibular teeth.

[0010] Furthermore, the friction part includes a support arm connected to the bracket and a capsule placed between the teeth and the cheek.

[0011] Furthermore, the capsule is a sphere to improve wearing comfort.

[0012] Furthermore, the capsule is made of flexible material to improve wearing comfort.

[0013] Furthermore, the support arm is made of flexible material to improve wearing comfort.

[0014] Furthermore, to facilitate production and assembly, a square hole is provided above the support arm, and a mounting section adapted to the square hole is provided on the bracket; to prevent the support arm from falling off the bracket, limiting portions are provided on the bracket at both axial ends of the mounting section.

[0015] Beneficial effects of the utility model: Compared with braces that are worn on the mandibular teeth as a whole, the technical solution recorded in this application only has the wearing part stuck on the teeth, so that the bracket is less restricted by the dental arch. When producing the bracket, it is only necessary to design brackets of different sizes to fit the mouths of most people. The wearer only needs to choose a suitable bracket according to the size of his or her own mouth. The cost of a single product can be reduced through mass production, thereby reducing the cost of use for the wearer. After wearing, the maxillary teeth are against the maxillary baffle to prevent the mandible from falling back, thereby preventing the tongue root, soft palate, etc. from blocking the respiratory tract, thereby effectively alleviating snoring.

[0021] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the utility model, the utility model is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory and should not have any limiting effect on the protection scope of the utility model.

[0022] Example 1: Figure 1-4 As shown, the present embodiment discloses a wearable anti-snoring device, which includes a bracket 1. The bracket 1 is made of hard materials such as plastic and metal that meet hygienic requirements, preferably an alloy material with a certain deformation ability, so that the wearer can fine-tune the shape of the bracket 1 according to his own needs. In order to improve the wearing comfort, a layer of soft glue can be coated on the hard material, and the material of the soft glue can be selected from silicone, latex, etc.; the bracket 1 is provided with a wearing part 2 and a friction part, and the wearing part 2 includes an upper jaw baffle 3 and a slot 4 that cooperates with the lower jaw teeth. Due to the different thickness of teeth of different people, The teeth are different and the shapes of the teeth are also different. In order to adapt to these differences and ensure the firmness of the wearing part 2 to the teeth, a flexible layer is provided on the inner wall of the slot 4. The flexible layer can be made of deformable materials such as silicone and latex. The flexible layer is deformed to adapt to different teeth, and the flexible layer can clamp the teeth. Compared with other teeth, the differences in shape and size of the incisors of different people are relatively small and are less affected by the dental arch, so the slot 4 is preferably worn on the mandibular incisors, and the maxillary baffle 3 is located at the upper end of the slot 4, and the upper end surface of the maxillary baffle 3 extends upward.

[0023] The bracket 1 can be in a plate shape, etc., and has at least two friction parts. In this embodiment, the bracket 1 is U-shaped, and the friction parts are arranged on both sides of the open end of the bracket 1. A tongue support plate 5 is arranged at the lower end of the middle part of the bracket 1.

[0024] The friction part includes a support arm 6 connected to the bracket 1 and a capsule 7 placed between the teeth and the cheek, and the capsule 7 is a sphere.

[0025] The capsule 7 and the support arm 6 can be made of hard materials such as plastic and metal that meet hygiene requirements, and the outer sides of the capsule 7 and the support arm 6 are covered with soft rubber. In this embodiment, the capsule 7 and the support arm 6 are made of flexible materials, such as silicone with a hardness of about 40 degrees. The capsule 7 and the support arm 6 can be integrally formed, and the bracket 1 is made by injection molding, casting, etc.

[0026] In order to assemble the two together, a square hole is provided above the support arm 6, and a mounting section 8 adapted to the square hole is provided on the bracket 1. Limiting portions 9 are provided on both ends of the axial side of the mounting section 8 on the bracket 1. The outer diameter of the limiting portion 9 is larger than the mounting section 8. During assembly, the square hole is temporarily enlarged to install the support arm 6 on the mounting section 8.

[0027] Specific usage method: The wearer selects a bracket 1 that matches his / her oral structure, then puts the cleaned and disinfected bracket 1 into the oral cavity and pushes the bracket 1 toward the throat until the slot 4 is stuck on the mandibular teeth. At this time, the tip of the tongue is placed on the upper end of the tongue support plate 5 and the capsule 7 is located between the molars and the cheek. The capsule 7 needs to be pressed against the inner side of the cheek. The human cheek is used to apply pressure to the capsule 7 to ensure the position of the bracket 1 in the oral cavity through the cooperation of the capsule 7 and the slot 4. Since the human cheek has a strong deformation ability, this helps to reduce the foreign body sensation of the bracket 1 in the oral cavity, thereby improving the comfort of the wearer. After the bracket 1 is placed, the oral cavity is closed normally. When the oral cavity is closed, the outer side of the maxillary incisors presses against the throat side of the maxillary baffle 3, thereby preventing the mandible from moving toward the throat side. In order to improve the wearing comfort and adjust the distance of the backbite, a soft rubber layer made of silicone, sponge and other materials is provided on the throat side of the maxillary baffle 3.
