Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of respiratory correctors, and in particular relates to a sleep apnea corrector. Background Art

[0002] Mouth breathing is a bad breathing habit during sleep. Long-term mouth breathing can easily cause apnea and snoring, which can affect safety in severe cases. In order to alleviate or treat mouth breathing, a corrector is generally used. Existing correctors have the following shortcomings: they are often worn on the teeth at night and often fall off. After falling off, they cannot correct the problem. In addition, they occupy the space inside the mouth, block the tongue, cause discomfort, and even make the symptoms worse. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model aims to solve the shortcomings of the prior art that the device is easy to detach and occupies a large space inside the oral cavity, and proposes a sleep apnea corrector. The device can expand the space inside the oral cavity and effectively reduce the number of apneas and snoring.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] A sleep apnea corrector is designed, comprising a corrector body, wherein an upper alveolar structure is provided at the upper portion of the corrector body, a lower alveolar structure is provided at the lower portion, and a through hole is penetrated through the middle portion of the corrector body for the tongue to extend forward; the upper alveolar structure is provided at one side of the tongue with an upper guide platform of a thin-walled structure, and an upper embedding plate is provided at the other side; the lower alveolar structure is provided at one side of the tongue with a lower guide platform of a thin-walled structure, and a lower embedding plate is provided at the other side, and the cross-section of the lower guide platform has a guide surface with an arc-shaped structure at the top, which is used to guide the tongue to tilt upward.

[0006] Furthermore, the through hole has a flat structure, and the edge of the through hole is provided with a circular chamfer.

[0007] The height of the upper embedded plate is greater than the height of the upper guide platform, and the height of the lower embedded plate is greater than the height of the lower guide platform.

[0008] A guiding arc-shaped protrusion is arranged at the bottom of the upper guiding platform and on one side of the tongue.

[0009] Furthermore, the upper embedded plate and the lower embedded plate form upper and lower inserted limiting parts at the front end of the corrector body.

[0010] The sleep apnea corrector proposed by the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] (1) The utility model provides an upper embedding plate and a lower embedding plate in front of the corrector body, so that the upper embedding plate and the lower embedding plate are embedded between the lips and the teeth, forming a wider limiting portion between the teeth and the lips, which can effectively prevent the respiratory corrector from falling off and make the corrector more firmly worn.

[0012] (2) The utility model provides an upper guide platform and a lower guide platform with a thin-wall structure, as well as a through hole. On the one hand, it can reduce the space occupied by the respiratory corrector in the oral cavity. On the other hand, it can achieve the purpose of the tongue moving forward and upward, and can achieve the effect of opening the lower jaw downward and extending forward at the same time, thereby expanding the space inside the oral cavity and effectively reducing the number of apnea and snoring.

[0022] The structural features of the utility model are now described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings of the specification.

[0023] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 A sleep apnea corrector comprises a corrector body 1, wherein an upper alveolar socket 2 is arranged at the upper part of the corrector body 1, and a lower alveolar socket 3 is arranged at the lower part. A through hole 4 for the tongue to extend forward is penetrated through the middle part of the corrector body 1, and the through hole 4 is a flat structure, and an arc chamfer is arranged at the edge of the through hole 4. After the chamfer, the periphery of the through hole 4 is smoother, which can improve the comfort of the tongue extending therein.

[0024] The upper alveolar 2 is provided with an upper guide platform 21 of a thin-walled structure on one side of the tongue, and an upper embedded plate 22 on the other side. The lower alveolar 3 is provided with a lower guide platform 31 of a thin-walled structure on one side of the tongue, and a lower embedded plate 32 on the other side. When worn, the upper embedded plate 22 is inserted into the gap between the upper teeth and the lips, and the lower embedded plate 32 is inserted into the gap between the lower teeth and the lips. The upper embedded plate 22 and the lower embedded plate 32 form an upper and lower inserted limiting part at the front end of the corrector body 1. The top of the cross section of the lower guide platform 31 is a guide surface 33 of an arc structure, which is used to guide the tongue to tilt upward, wherein the height of the upper embedded plate 22 is greater than the height of the upper guide platform 21, and the height of the lower embedded plate 32 is greater than the height of the lower guide platform 31. The bottom of the upper guide platform 21 is located on one side of the tongue and is provided with a guide arc protrusion 23. The setting of the guide arc protrusion 23 can better guide the tongue forward into the through hole 4. When the tongue extends outward, it will be lifted up under the guidance of the lower guide platform 31. When it continues to extend, it will be guided by the upper guide platform 21 to enter the through hole 4. After entering the through hole 4, the internal space of the oral cavity is expanded, the root of the tongue is concave downward, and the lower jaw is moved forward and downward, thereby expanding the width of the channel below the glottis, which can effectively reduce the number of sleep apnea and snoring.

[0025] The respiratory corrector of the utility model has a simple structure. On the one hand, it can reduce the occupation of the internal space of the oral cavity by the respiratory corrector. On the other hand, during use, it can make the tongue move forward and upward, and at the same time make the lower jaw move forward and downward, thereby expanding the internal space of the oral cavity and effectively reducing the number of sleep apnea and snoring.

[0026] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the above embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein by equivalents. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
