For this reason, the utility model is proposed. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides an oral photography retractor that is convenient for patients to adjust by themselves. The outward expansion angle of the retractor can be adjusted. When in use, the patient can operate it with one hand to open the lip surface, and control the strength by himself while ensuring comprehensive photography, with high overall comfort.

[0005] The technical solution of the utility model is as follows:

[0006] An oral photography retractor which is convenient for patients to adjust themselves comprises a fixing plate, an adjusting plate, an adjusting rod, a positioning plate, an adjusting bolt and a holding rod, wherein the fixing plate is hinged with adjusting plates on both sides through pins, the two adjusting plates are hinged with adjusting rods respectively, the other end of the adjusting rod is hinged to the positioning plate, the positioning plate is slidably mounted on the holding rod, one end of the holding rod is fixed to the fixing plate, an adjusting bolt is threadedly arranged in the middle of the holding rod, and the adjusting bolt contacts the positioning plate.

[0007] Preferably, according to the present invention, the fixing plate and the adjusting plate are both arc-shaped plates.

[0008] Preferably, according to the utility model, elastic barrier layers are provided on both sides of the fixed plate and the adjusting plate respectively. The design of the elastic barrier layer has two effects: one is to prevent the fixed plate and the adjusting plate from directly contacting the oral cavity, and the elastic barrier layer is used as a buffer to improve comfort; the other is to prevent the gap between the adjusting plate and the pin shaft from clamping the lips and injuring the patient.

[0009] Preferably, according to the utility model, a positioning block is fixedly provided on one side of the middle thread of the holding rod close to the fixing plate to limit the movement distance of the adjusting bolt.

[0010] Preferably, according to the present invention, the bottom of the gripping rod is arc-shaped, which is convenient for gripping.

[0012] Preferably according to the present invention, a spring is provided between the two adjusting rods.

[0013] When in use, the adjusting bolt is adjusted according to the size of the patient's mouth. When the adjusting bolt moves to one side of the fixed plate, the opening angle of the adjusting plate is reduced. When the adjusting bolt moves to the other side, the two adjusting rods are contracted close to each other under the action of the spring force, thereby driving the opening angles of the adjusting plates on both sides to expand (when the adjusting bolt drives the positioning plate to move to the positioning block, the contact side of the fixed plate and the adjusting plate just fits together, and the adjusting plate cannot continue to reduce the opening angle. Therefore, after the adjusting bolt moves in the opposite direction, the adjusting rod and the positioning plate can only move with the adjusting bolt under the action of elastic force, driving the opening angle of the adjusting plate to expand). After the adjustment plate is adjusted, the patient holds the holding rod, puts the fixed plate and the adjusting plate into the mouth, adjusts the flipping angle of the fixed plate and the adjusting plate, and then adjusts the exposed area of ​​the dentition. After meeting the photography requirements, the patient stops moving and photography is performed. During the whole process, the patient completes the adjustment by himself, and the force is controllable, which improves the patient's comfort.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0015] The utility model provides an oral photography retractor which is convenient for patients to adjust themselves. The outward expansion angle of the retractor can be adjusted. When in use, the patient can operate it with one hand to open the lip surface, and the strength can be controlled by the patient himself while ensuring comprehensive photography, and the overall comfort is high.

[0020] The present invention will be further described below through embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but is not limited thereto.

[0021] Embodiment 1:

[0022] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the present embodiment provides an oral photography retractor which is convenient for patients to self-adjust, including a fixing plate 1, an adjusting plate 2, an adjusting rod 5, a positioning plate 6, an adjusting bolt 8 and a holding rod 9, wherein the fixing plate 1 is hinged with the adjusting plates 2 on both sides through the pin shaft 3, and the two adjusting plates 2 are hinged with the adjusting rod 5 respectively, and the other end of the adjusting rod 5 is hinged to the positioning plate 6, and the positioning plate 6 is slidably mounted on the holding rod 9, and one end of the holding rod 9 is fixed to the fixing plate 1, and the middle part of the holding rod 9 is provided with an adjusting bolt 8 through a thread 10, and the adjusting bolt 8 contacts the positioning plate 6.

[0023] The fixing plate 1 and the adjusting plate 2 are both arc-shaped plates, and the connection position between the holding rod 9 and the fixing plate 1 and the connection position between the adjusting rod 5 and the adjusting plate 2 are both at the upper part. Figure 2 As shown, leaving the lower area for lip expansion.

[0024] Elastic barrier layers 4 are respectively provided on both sides of the fixed plate 1 and the adjusting plate 2. The design of the elastic barrier layer has two effects: one is to prevent the fixed plate and the adjusting plate from directly contacting the oral cavity, and use the elastic barrier layer as a buffer to improve comfort; the other is to prevent the gap between the adjusting plate and the pin shaft from clamping the lips and injuring the patient.

[0025] A positioning block 7 is fixedly arranged on one side of the middle thread of the holding rod 9 close to the fixing plate to limit the movement distance of the adjusting bolt.

[0026] The bottom of the gripping rod 9 is arc-shaped, which is convenient for gripping.

[0027] The adjusting bolt 8 is symmetrically provided with wings 11 to facilitate adjustment of the adjusting bolt.

[0028] A spring 12 is arranged between the two adjustment rods 5 .

[0029] When in use, the adjusting bolt is adjusted according to the size of the patient's mouth. When the adjusting bolt moves to one side of the fixed plate, the opening angle of the adjusting plate is reduced. When the adjusting bolt moves to the other side, the two adjusting rods are contracted close to each other under the action of the spring force, thereby driving the opening angles of the adjusting plates on both sides to expand (when the adjusting bolt drives the positioning plate to move to the positioning block, the contact side of the fixed plate and the adjusting plate just fits together, and the adjusting plate cannot continue to reduce the opening angle. Therefore, after the adjusting bolt moves in the opposite direction, the adjusting rod and the positioning plate can only move with the adjusting bolt under the action of elastic force, driving the opening angle of the adjusting plate to expand). After the adjustment plate is adjusted, the patient holds the holding rod, puts the fixed plate and the adjusting plate into the mouth, adjusts the flipping angle of the fixed plate and the adjusting plate, and then adjusts the exposed area of ​​the dentition. After meeting the photography requirements, the patient stops moving and photography is performed. During the whole process, the patient completes the adjustment by himself, and the force is controllable, which improves the patient's comfort.
