Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of psychiatric nursing equipment, in particular to a tongue-biting prevention device for mental patients. Background Art

[0002] A mentally ill person is a person whose brain function is disordered due to various harmful factors and whose clinical manifestations are abnormal mental activities, specifically showing varying degrees of disorders in perception, thinking, attention, memory, emotion, behavior, volitional intelligence and consciousness. When encountering an impulsive and uncooperative mentally ill patient, the doctor will issue a protective restraint order, which means tying up the patient and putting a tongue pad in the mouth to prevent some patients who are self-harming and have suicidal thoughts from biting their tongue.

[0003] The Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN215079903U discloses a suction hole type tongue bite prevention tooth pad for patients with mental disorders, including a tooth brace body, the upper and lower surfaces of the tooth brace body are provided with tooth-shaped grooves that match the shape of the tooth brace body; the outer side of the tooth brace body is provided with a connector, the connector has an elliptical suction hole, and the elliptical suction hole penetrates to the inner side of the tooth brace body; the connector is provided with an arc-shaped fixing gasket, and both ends of the fixing gasket are provided with a strap. The utility model can form a stable fixation and support for the patient's teeth, effectively preventing accidental tongue biting, and the utility model also has the characteristics of being firmly worn and easy to observe the inside of the oral cavity, but when it is used, The suction hole is designed in an open pipe style. Some large external impurity particles can easily enter the patient's mouth through the suction hole and block the throat, causing some safety hazards. At the same time, when the patient vomits, the fixed gasket can easily block the vomit, making it inconvenient to spit out. The medical staff has to remove it and then put it back on the patient, which is very inconvenient. At the same time, the suction hole has a certain length. When the patient is ventilating, some saliva or food residues will adhere to the inside. The medical staff uses a long-bristled brush to clean it. During the insertion process, it is very easy to push the attached impurities into the patient's mouth, and it is easy to insert the long-bristled brush into the patient's mouth during the cleaning process, causing the patient to dry heave. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a tongue-biting prevention device for mentally ill patients.

[0005] The above technical purpose of the utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions: a tongue bite prevention device for mentally ill patients, comprising a fixed gasket and a braces body, the braces body and the fixed gasket are connected through a connecting tube for ventilation, an opening is provided on the fixed gasket, one end of the connecting tube is connected to the inner wall of the opening through a connecting plate, a baffle is rotatably connected to the opening through a connecting rod, a movable part is provided on the connecting tube, the movable part comprises a top tube located at one end of the connecting tube away from the braces body and a scraper slidably arranged inside the connecting tube, the scraper is connected to the top tube through a connecting rod, a filter is provided at one end of the top tube away from the braces body, a clamping rod is slidably arranged on the baffle, and a clamping groove for the clamping rod to extend into is provided on the fixed gasket.

[0006] Preferably, it also includes a positioning assembly, which includes a sleeve slidably arranged at one end of the connecting rod and a ratchet mounted outside the sleeve, a fixing rod is arranged on the fixing gasket, a pawl rotatably arranged on the fixing rod and engaged with the ratchet is arranged on the fixing rod, and a torsion spring is arranged on the pawl and connected to the fixing rod.

[0007] Preferably, a telescopic spring 1 is arranged inside the sleeve, and opposite ends of the telescopic spring 1 are respectively connected to the sleeve and one end close to the connecting rod.

[0008] Preferably, the card slot is bent, a sliding slot is provided on the baffle, the card rod is slidably connected to the sliding slot through a slider, two telescopic springs are provided in the sliding slot along its length direction, and one side of the slider is connected to the inner wall of the sliding slot through the two telescopic springs.

[0009] Preferably, the top pipe and the connecting pipe are each provided with an external thread near a portion thereof, a knob is provided on the outside of the top pipe, the knob is hollow, and an internal thread which is threadably coupled with the external thread is provided on the inner wall of the knob.

[0010] Preferably, an observation window is embedded in the baffle.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the utility model opens an opening on the fixed gasket, blocks the opening with a baffle, and the connecting rod drives the baffle to rotate on the fixed gasket. A top pipe is arranged at the front end of the connecting pipe connecting the fixed gasket and the dental brace body, and the top pipe is connected with a scraper, which drives the top pipe to scrape and clean the impurities inside the connecting pipe through the scraper. Compared with the prior art, when dealing with vomiting of the patient, the utility model does not need personnel to remove the fixed gasket and the dental brace body, and can open and close the opening of the fixed gasket by rotating the baffle, which is more convenient and quick to operate. At the same time, a movable part is arranged in the connecting pipe, and the scraper in the connecting pipe is driven by the top pipe to scrape out the impurities in the inner connecting pipe. On the one hand, it is avoided that the personnel need to push the cleaning tool into the connecting pipe before cleaning, which easily pushes the impurities remaining in the connecting pipe into the patient's oral cavity. On the other hand, it is avoided that the personnel extend the cleaning tool too deeply into the patient's oral cavity into the connecting pipe, causing the patient to retch. A filter is arranged at the front end of the top pipe, which reduces the external impurity particles from entering the patient's oral cavity through the top pipe and the connecting pipe, causing certain personal safety hazards.

[0023] A telescopic spring 21 is vertically fixed to the upper end of the connecting rod 9, and a sleeve 20 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the telescopic spring 21. The upper end of the sleeve 20 passes through the opening 26 and is located above the opening 26. A ratchet 19 is sleeved and fixed to the outer wall of the upper end of the sleeve 20. A T-shaped fixing rod 18 is vertically fixed to the upper side of the fixing gasket 3. A pawl 16 matching the ratchet 19 is sleeved on the lower end of the fixing rod 18. The pawl 16 is rotatably connected to the fixing rod 18. A torsion spring 17 is sleeved on the outer wall of the fixing rod 18. The upper end of the torsion spring 17 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the upper end of the fixing rod 18, and the lower end of the torsion spring 17 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the pawl 16.

[0024] A slide groove 25 is provided on the upper side of one end of the baffle 10 away from the connecting rod 9 along its length direction, a slider 22 is slidably arranged in the slide groove 25, a cylindrical clamping rod 23 is vertically fixed on the slider 22, a telescopic spring 24 is provided in the slide groove 25, and the opposite ends of the telescopic spring 24 are fixedly connected to the slider 22 and the slide groove 25 on the opposite sides respectively, a clamping groove 15 identical to the opening 26 is provided in the middle part of the upper side of the fixed gasket 3, and the clamping groove 15 is bent, and in the present embodiment, it is L-shaped.
