Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mouthpieces, in particular to an adjustable mouthpiece. Background Art

[0002] During head and neck radiotherapy, radiotherapy is essential for accurately striking tumor tissue. However, due to swallowing activities in the mouth and involuntary movement of the tongue, the radiotherapy target area may shift, which not only affects the accuracy of radiotherapy, but also may increase the risk of damage to surrounding healthy tissues. In order to address this problem, mouthpieces are widely used during radiotherapy to fix and support the tongue and reduce the impact of its movement on the radiotherapy target area.

[0003] However, there is a key problem with existing mouthpiece designs: the tongue depressor cannot be adjusted. Since the oral structure, tongue size and position of different patients vary, a fixed tongue depressor is difficult to adapt to the needs of radiotherapy. In actual radiotherapy, it is often necessary to fine-tune the tongue position, but since the tongue depressor is fixed, it is difficult to adjust the tongue position according to needs.

[0004] Therefore, a kind of adjustable mouthpiece is needed to overcome the occurrence of the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the embodiment of the utility model provides an adjustable mouthpiece, which achieves the purpose of solving the problems raised in the background technology.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the embodiment of the utility model specifically adopts the following technical scheme: an adjustable mouthpiece, comprising:

[0007] The occlusal part is fixed by the teeth after biting;

[0008] A tongue depressor, rotatably disposed on one side of the occlusal portion, for fixing the tongue position; and

[0009] A fixing assembly is arranged between the occlusal portion and the tongue-pressing portion, and is used to adjust the relative position between the tongue-pressing portion and the occlusal portion;

[0010] The fixing assembly comprises a card slot provided on one side of the occlusal portion and a card block fixedly connected to the tongue pressing portion and used in conjunction with the card slot.

[0011] As a further improvement of the above technical solution:

[0012] The clamping groove is a tooth groove, and the clamping block is a clamping tooth.

[0013] The tongue depressing part is rotatably arranged on one side of the occlusal part through a rotating resistance component.

[0014] The rotation resistance component comprises a rotation groove arranged inside the occlusal part and an elastic plug-in column fixedly connected to the tongue pressing part; the elastic plug-in column is plugged into the inside of the rotation groove.

[0015] The occlusal portion is provided with an occlusal groove for occluding and fixing teeth.

[0016] The bite portion is also provided with a kneading groove for easy taking.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the embodiments of the utility model are:

[0018] During actual use, the user bites the occlusal part with the front teeth and fixes the tongue position with the tongue depressor, thereby preventing swallowing activities in the oral cavity and involuntary movement of the tongue from affecting radiotherapy; when it is necessary to fine-tune the tongue position, the tongue depressor is rotated to adjust the angle of the tongue depressor, thereby fine-tuning the tongue position to meet usage requirements.

[0023] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0024] See also Figures 1 to 3 The utility model discloses an adjustable mouthpiece, comprising:

[0025] Occlusal part 1, fixed by the teeth after biting;

[0026] The tongue depressor 2 is rotatably disposed on one side of the occlusal portion 1 and is used to fix the tongue position; and

[0027] A fixing component 3, arranged between the bite portion 1 and the tongue pressing portion 2, and used for adjusting the relative position between the tongue pressing portion 2 and the bite portion 1;

[0028] The fixing assembly 3 includes a slot 31 provided on one side of the occlusal portion 1, and a block 32 fixedly connected to the tongue pressing portion 2 and used in conjunction with the slot 31; when the angle of the tongue pressing portion 2 needs to be adjusted, the block 32 and the slot 31 are separated, and the tongue pressing portion 2 can be rotated. After the angle of the tongue pressing portion 2 is adjusted, the block 32 is inserted into the slot 31 to fix the position of the tongue pressing portion 2;

[0029] During actual use, the user bites the occlusal part 1 with the front teeth and fixes the tongue position with the tongue depressor 2, thereby preventing the swallowing activity in the oral cavity and the involuntary movement of the tongue from affecting the radiotherapy; when it is necessary to fine-tune the tongue position, the tongue depressor 2 is rotated to adjust the angle of the tongue depressor 2, thereby fine-tuning the tongue position to meet the usage requirements.

[0030] As a further illustration of this application:

[0031] The slot 31 is a tooth slot, and the block 32 is a tooth. The number of engagement positions between the block 32 and the slot 31 is increased, so that the block 32 can be firmly engaged in the slot 31 .

[0032] As a further illustration of this application:

[0033] The tongue depressor 2 is rotatably arranged on one side of the occlusal portion 1 by means of a rotating resistance component 4; when the angle of the tongue depressor 2 is adjusted, the rotating resistance component 4 is used to provide the tongue depressor 2 with a certain resistance during rotation, thereby preventing the tongue depressor 2 from self-rotating after the angle adjustment of the tongue depressor 2 is completed.

[0034] As a further illustration of this application:

[0035] The rotation resistance assembly 4 includes a rotation groove 41 opened inside the bite part 1 and an elastic plug-in column 42 fixedly connected to the tongue pressing part 2; the elastic plug-in column 42 is plugged into the inside of the rotation groove 41; the elastic plug-in column 42 is inserted into the rotation groove 41, so that the elastic plug-in column 42 has a certain resistance when rotating inside the rotation groove 41.

[0036] As a further illustration of this application:

[0037] The occlusal portion 1 is provided with an occlusal groove 5 for fixing the teeth in occlusion, and the front teeth of the user occlude in the occlusal groove 5 to prevent the occlusal teeth from slipping.

[0038] As a further illustration of this application:

[0039] The bite portion 1 is also provided with a kneading groove 6 for easy picking; the kneading groove 6 is provided to prevent slipping when picking up.
