[0025] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiment of the utility model clearer, the technical solution in the embodiment of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiment of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiment of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0026] The utility model provides a technical solution:

[0027] An oropharyngeal spreader for protecting teeth and gums comprises a fixed frame 1, a slide groove 2 is provided on the fixed frame 1, a moving rod 3 is slidably installed inside the slide groove 2, a tongue stopper 4 is fixedly installed on the moving rod 3, an arc frame 5 is fixedly installed on one side of the fixed frame 1, a filter screen 6 is provided on the arc frame 5, a compressed sponge 7 is fixedly installed on the filter screen 6, a water pipe 8 is provided on the arc frame 5, and the water pipe 8 is connected to an external water supply mechanism, which can be a water pump.

[0028] Specifically, the arc frame 5 is provided with a plurality of water outlets 9 , a cavity 10 is opened inside the arc frame 5 , a water inlet 11 is opened inside the arc frame 5 , the water pipe 8 is connected with the inside of the cavity 10 through the water inlet 11 , and the cavity 10 is connected with the water outlet 9 .

[0029] A moving block 12 is slidably installed inside the cavity 10 , and rubber pads 13 are fixedly installed at both ends of the moving block 12 . The rubber pads 13 correspond to the positions of the water inlet 11 in the cavity 10 .

[0030] In addition, a plurality of plug rods 14 are fixedly mounted on the filter screen 6, and a plurality of plug holes 15 are provided on the arc frame 5, and the plug rods 14 are plugged and matched with the plug holes 15.

[0031] It is worth noting that a plurality of first magnets 16 are embedded on the moving block 12 , and a plurality of second magnets 17 are fixedly mounted on the insertion rod 14 , and the first magnets 16 and the second magnets 17 are magnetically matched.

[0032] In addition, the end of the insertion rod 14 is in compression contact with the outer wall of the moving block 12 , and a spring 18 is fixedly mounted on the moving block 12 , and the other end of the spring 18 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cavity 10 .

[0033] On the basis of the above solution, a screw rod 19 is penetrated through the fixed frame 1 , the screw rod 19 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 1 , and the screw rod 19 is threadedly connected to the moving rod 3 .

[0034] Working principle: When the device is in use, the arc frame 5 is placed on the upper teeth of the patient, and then the tongue block 4 is blocked between the upper teeth and the lower teeth, and then the screw rod 19 is rotated to make the moving rod 3 move along the direction of the slide groove 2, wherein a part of the compression sponge 7 is located between the gums and lips of the patient, and then, when the patient's mouth is opened, the patient's upper teeth can squeeze the compression sponge 7 to move the filter 6, and the movement of the filter 6 can make the insertion rod 14 move, and the movement of the insertion rod 14 can squeeze the moving block 12, and the moving block 12 can squeeze the spring 18, and at this time, the moving block 12 can drive the rubber pad 13 to move, thereby removing the rubber pad 13 from the water inlet. The mouth 11 is moved away, at this time, water can enter the cavity through the water inlet 11, and then be sprayed out through the water outlet 9, so that the compressed sponge 7 is damp. The compressed sponge 7 can expand after being damp, thereby protecting the patient's lips and gums and effectively playing a buffering role. Among them, the staff can remove the used filter 6 and compressed sponge 7 from the arc frame 5, at this time the insertion rod 14 and the second magnet 17 can be separated from the first magnet 16, and then the new compressed sponge 7 and filter 6 are placed on the arc frame 5, and the insertion rod 14 is inserted into the inside of the socket 15, and then the first magnet 16 can attract the second magnet 17, so that the insertion rod 14 is fixed relative to the moving block 12.
