Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical care tools, and in particular relates to an oral care device. Background Art
[0002] Oral care is extremely important for sick and hospitalized patients. For patients who are bedridden for a long time, due to their low body resistance, the microorganisms in the oral cavity take the opportunity to multiply in large numbers, which can easily cause stomatitis and glossitis. In clinical work, especially in the intensive care unit, including critically ill patients, patients receiving ventilator-assisted treatment, patients who have been fasting for a long time, and comatose patients, oral care is required three times a day to ensure the cleanliness of their oral mucosa and tongue coating, and to prevent the occurrence of oral diseases such as fungal infections and oral ulcers.
[0003] At present, general hospitals use vascular clamps and tweezers to clamp cotton balls, dip them in care solution and squeeze out excess water to provide oral care for patients. Oral care operations require medical staff to brush their teeth vertically, which is cumbersome to operate and difficult to control the amount of cotton ball oral care solution used. It is also easy to cause excess water to remain in the patient's mouth, causing the patient to aspirate. Utility Model Content

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, an oral care device is provided, comprising a brush handle 1, a brush head 2 and a scraper assembly 3; the brush head 2 is installed at the head of the brush handle 1, and a cleaning block 4 for absorbing oral care liquid is installed on the brush head 2; the brush handle 1 comprises an integrally formed straight section 12 and a connecting section 11; the connecting section 11 is connected to the brush head 2; the connecting section 11 is S-shaped, and the connecting section 11 can be against the two corners of the mouth of the human body when in use, and the S-shaped connecting section 11 can clamp the corners of the patient's mouth when performing oral care, so as to facilitate medical staff to perform oral care on the patient, and the S-shaped setting can facilitate medical staff to perform Bass brushing on the patient; the straight section 12 of the brush handle 1 can be convenient for medical staff to hold; the connection method of the brush handle 1 and the brush head 2 refers to the existing technology, and can be fixedly connected or hinged.
[0025] Specifically, the brush handle 1 is made of TPE material, which is odorless, environmentally friendly, FDA-compliant, and has a smooth, delicate, non-slip, non-sticky surface, good weather resistance, impact resistance, and strong flexibility.
[0026] Specifically, the cleaning block 4 is a multi-layer gauze block; the gauze block is detachably connected to the brush head 2, and optionally, the gauze block and the brush head 2 can be connected by a pair of Velcro strips.
[0027] The scraper bar assembly 3 is slidably connected to the brush head 2 and can squeeze the cleaning block 4 when moving; when the scraper bar assembly 3 squeezes the cleaning block 4, the cleaning block 4 is deformed to squeeze excess oral care liquid out of the cleaning block 4, thereby controlling the amount of oral care liquid in the cleaning block 4 and avoiding aspiration of critically ill patients due to excessive water.
[0028] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the scraper assembly 3 includes a sliding block 31, a connecting rod 32 and a scraper body 33; the scraper body 33 spans the cleaning block 4, and is connected to the connecting rod 32 at both ends; the sliding block 31 is connected to the connecting rod 32; a sliding channel 21 with at least one end open is provided on the brush head 2; the sliding block 31 is slidably connected to the sliding channel 21, and can be separated from or entered into the open end of the sliding channel 21, that is, the sliding block 31 drives the scraper body 33 to enter the sliding channel 21 from the open end of the sliding channel 21, or to detach from the sliding channel 21, when the sliding block 31 drives After the scraper body 33 is separated from the sliding channel 21, it can be used directly. During use, the scraper assembly 3 is completely separated from the brush head 2, so as not to hinder the patient's oral care. In order to improve work efficiency and avoid excessive squeezing of the cleaning block 4, both ends of the sliding channel 21 are open, that is, medical staff can squeeze the cleaning block 4 in one movement. It is worth noting that the connecting section 11 of the brush handle 1 does not interfere with the movement of the scraper assembly 3. As an optional option, a mounting block (not shown in the figure) is provided on the back of the brush head 2, and the mounting block is connected to the brush handle 1.
[0029] Furthermore, there are two sliding blocks 31 and they correspond one to one with the connecting rods 32; there are also two sliding channels 21, and when one side of the sliding channel 21 is open, the open ends of the two sliding channels 21 are located on the same side of the brush head 2; the sliding portion of the sliding block 31 is in the shape of an "I"; and the longitudinal section of the sliding channel 21 is also in the shape of an "I".
[0030] In some other embodiments, the scraper body 33 is parallel to the use surface of the cleaning block 4; the connecting rod 32 is perpendicular to the use surface of the cleaning block 4; the connecting rod 32 passes through the connecting end of the sliding block 31, that is, the groove direction at the top of the sliding channel 21 is perpendicular to the use plane of the cleaning block 4, so as to prevent the oral care liquid from entering the sliding channel 21; the extension length of the connecting rod 32 extending out of the sliding block 31 can be changed under the action of external force, that is, the connecting rod 32 slides through the sliding block 31; when the extension length of the connecting rod 32 extending out of the sliding block 31 is in the first state, there is a gap between the scraper body 33 and the cleaning block 4, that is, the scraper body 3 3 cannot press the cleaning block 4; when the extending length of the connecting rod 32 extending from the sliding block 31 is in the second state, the scraper body 33 squeezes the cleaning block 4, that is, when the extending length of the connecting rod 32 extending from the sliding block 31 is in the first state, it is convenient for medical staff to install the scraper assembly 3 on the brush head 2, and when the extending length of the connecting rod 32 extending from the sliding block 31 is in the second state, the cleaning block 4 can be squeezed; of course, in some other embodiments, when the extending length of the connecting rod 32 extending from the sliding block 31 is in the first state and the second state, the scraper body 33 can squeeze the cleaning block 4, but the squeezing distances of the two states are different.
[0031] In some other embodiments, a tension spring 34 is provided at the protruding end of the connecting rod 32 extending out of the sliding block 31; one end of the tension spring 34 is installed on the connecting rod 32, and the other end is installed on the sliding block 31; when the protruding length of the connecting rod 32 extending out of the sliding block 31 is in the second state, the tension spring 34 undergoes tension deformation, and when the protruding length of the connecting rod 32 extending out of the sliding block 31 is in the first state, the tension spring 34 is in the initial state; that is, when the protruding length of the connecting rod 32 extending out of the sliding block 31 is in the second state, an external force needs to be applied toward the cleaning block 4, and when the external force disappears, under the resetting action of the tension spring 34, the connecting rod 32 drives the scraper body 33 away from the cleaning block 4.
[0032] In some other embodiments, a limit block 35 is provided on the connecting rod 32, and the limit block 35 is located between the sliding block 31 and the scraper body 33; when the extending length of the connecting rod 32 extending out of the sliding block 31 is in the second state, the limit block 35 abuts against the sliding block 31; the setting of the limit block 35 can avoid excessive squeezing of the cleaning block 4 due to excessive external force, thereby causing too little oral care liquid in the cleaning block 4.
[0033] Furthermore, the scraper body 33 is in a strip shape or a rolling cylinder shape. When the scraper body 33 is in a rolling cylinder shape, the scraper body 33 can roll while moving along the sliding channel 21, thereby reducing the difficulty of translation of the scraper body 33; the scraper body 33 is made of silicone.
[0034] Working principle: When in use, the cleaning block 4 is dipped in oral care liquid, and the sliding block 31 enters the sliding channel 21 from the open end of the sliding channel 21, and a pushing force and a pressing force are applied to the scraper body 33. Under the combined action of the pushing force and the pressing force, the scraper body 33 moves from one side of the sliding channel 21 to the other side, and squeezes the cleaning block 4 during the movement, so that the cleaning block 4 is deformed and the excess oral care liquid is squeezed out; after the squeezing is completed, the scraper body 33 is slid out from the open end of the sliding channel 21 and detached.
[0035] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referenced to each other.
