[0019] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application; obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0020] The novel multifunctional oral care mouth opener provided by this detailed implementation manner, as Figure 1 shown, includes a mouth-opening component and an adjusting component, wherein:

[0021] The mouth-opening component includes two upper and lower mouth-opening supports 1, the mouth-opening support 1 is U-shaped, and one end of its arc surface is used to be placed in the oral cavity, and the end of the broken port is located in the front, specifically asFigure 1 As shown. Moreover, a silicone sleeve is preferably sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the mouth support frame 1, and the silicone sleeve should at least cover the part of the mouth support frame 1 located behind the sleeve 2.

[0022] The adjusting member includes two vertical sleeves 2 symmetrically connected to the top end of the lower mouth support frame 1. A telescopic rod 3 is movably inserted into the sleeve 2, and the top end of the telescopic rod 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the upper mouth support frame 1. At the same time, a positioning mechanism 4 for positioning the telescopic rod 3 after it is telescoped is also provided on the sleeve 2, as Figure 2 shown. The positioning mechanism 4 includes a longitudinal lifting groove 401 penetratingly opened on the sleeve 2. One side of the lifting groove 401 communicates with a plurality of horizontally strip-shaped engaging grooves 402 that are evenly distributed from top to bottom and are opened on the sleeve 2. In addition, a engaging block 403 that can slide along the lifting groove 401 and can also engage with the engaging groove 402 is connected to the outer side of the telescopic rod 3 near its bottom end. In this way, the distance between the two mouth support frames 1 can be adjusted by the lifting of the telescopic rod 3.

[0023] In addition, as Figure 3 shown, a connecting strip 5 is connected between the left and right engaging blocks 403 described above, and the connecting strip 5 can be deformed under an external force. The function of this connecting strip 5 is to enable the two engaging blocks 403 to move simultaneously. However, since the engaging block 403 needs to rotate a certain angle when it turns from the engaging groove 402 to the lifting groove 401, the connecting strip 5 needs to have a certain elasticity and can be stretched to adapt to this process.

[0024] In addition to the above, it is worth mentioning that, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, through holes 6 are symmetrically and penetratingly opened on the front side of the sleeve 2 on the upper and lower mouth support frames 1. A vertical front frame 7 is connected through these through holes 6 between the two mouth support frames 1. The front frame 7 is U-shaped, and its arc end is located at the bottom end for hooking the chin for auxiliary fixation. In order to better achieve this effect, the front frame 7 is preferably an elastic frame, and the diameter of the elastic frame is slightly larger than the diameter of the through hole 6.
