Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of stomatology, and specifically relates to a tongue blocking device for oral restoration and orthodontics. Background Art

[0002] Oral restoration and orthodontics is an important branch of the dental field, mainly focusing on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of problems such as tooth and jaw misalignment, deformity, and functional abnormalities. Its purpose is to improve the oral function, aesthetics, and health of patients by correcting the positional relationship between teeth and jaws. In oral restoration and orthodontics treatment, a tongue blocking device is used, and the tongue needs to be appropriately pressed or fixed.

[0003] In the Chinese patent with the publication number CN217091004U, a tongue blocking device for oral restoration and orthodontics is mentioned. This utility model adjusts the length of the tongue blocking plate appropriately according to the position of the patient's oral problem. When the patient's oral problem is deep in the throat, the rotating rod can be shaken clockwise at this time. The rotating rod drives the turntable to rotate, and the turntable drives the gear shaft inside the rectangular through hole of the tongue blocking plate to rotate. Through the cooperation of the rack on the upper side wall of the rectangular through hole, the tongue blocking plate in the sliding cavity of the connecting plate is extended outwards, and the tongue blocking plate is adjusted to the length required by the patient. When the patient's oral problem is in the middle of the tongue, the rotating rod can be shaken counterclockwise at this time, and the tongue blocking plate is retracted into the sliding cavity of the connecting plate, and the tongue blocking plate is adjusted to the length required by the patient. Then, the tongue blocking plate is placed in the patient's oral cavity, and the patient bites on the tooth grooves on both the upper and lower sides of the tongue blocking plate. Silica gel gaskets are provided in the tooth grooves to relieve the toothache of the patient due to long-term biting.

[0004] Although this device drives the movement of the tongue blocking plate through structures such as the turntable, gear shaft, and rack to adjust the length of the tongue blocking plate, in actual use, in order to avoid cross-infection, the tongue blocking plate is a disposable medical product and will be discarded after one use. And the tongue blocking plate of this device is fixedly connected to structures such as the turntable, gear shaft, and rack. Therefore, when the tongue blocking plate is discarded, the entire tongue blocking device will be discarded accordingly. Furthermore, structures such as the turntable, gear shaft, and rack cannot be reused, which further increases the manufacturing cost and use cost of the tongue blocking device. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a tongue blocking device for oral restoration and orthodontics to solve the above problems.

[0006] A tongue blocking device for oral restoration and orthodontics, comprising:

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. The utility model rotates the screw rod forward by holding the handle, so that the two threaded rings are meshed with the screw rod, thereby driving the two clamping plates to move toward the two ends inside the guide groove, and then expanding the distance between the two clamping plates. The adjusting rod is no longer clamped and fixed, so that the adjusting rod and the tongue depressor can be disassembled and discarded, and then replaced with a new adjusting rod and tongue depressor, and the screw rod is reversed again, so that the two clamping plates clamp the new adjusting rod, and the new tongue depressor is fixed for easy use. By setting up the installation assembly, it is convenient to replace the tongue depressor without replacing other parts. Therefore, it can avoid bacterial cross infection caused by repeated use of the tongue depressor, and can reduce the production cost of the tongue blocking device.

[0025] As shown in the attached Figure 1 to the attached Figure 5As shown in:

[0026] Embodiment 1: The present utility model provides a tongue blocking device for oral repair and orthodontics, including a tongue blocking mechanism 100, which includes a hand-held groove 101. An adjusting plate 104 is slidably installed inside the hand-held groove 101. An installation component is arranged at the front end of the adjusting plate 104. The installation component includes an installation groove 105 fixedly installed at the front end of the adjusting plate 104. Two guiding grooves 106 are relatively fixedly installed in the installation groove 105. Two clamping plates 107 are relatively slidably installed inside the guiding grooves 106. An adjusting rod 111 is clamped between the two clamping plates 107. A tongue pressing plate 112 is fixedly installed at the front end of the adjusting rod 111.

[0027] The installation component further includes two threaded rings 108 respectively fixedly penetrating through the two clamping plates 107. A screw rod 109 is rotatably penetrated through the installation groove 105. Both of the two threaded rings 108 are meshed with the screw rod 109.

[0028] The front end of the screw rod 109 passes through the installation groove 105, and a handle 110 is fixedly installed at the front end of the screw rod 109.

[0029] The tongue blocking mechanism 100 further includes a sliding frame 102 slidably installed on the outer surface of the hand-held groove 101. The sliding frame 102 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the adjusting plate 104.

[0030] A limit bolt 103 is threadedly connected to the upper end of the sliding frame 102. The lower end of the limit bolt 103 passes through the sliding frame 102 and is in contact with the upper end of the hand-held groove 101.

[0031] As can be seen from the above, when using the tongue blocking device for oral repair and orthodontics, first, the doctor holds the part of the hand-held groove 101, inserts the tongue pressing plate 112 into the patient's oral cavity, makes the tongue pressing plate 112 press the patient's tongue, and according to the usage requirements, by pushing the sliding frame 102 forward or backward, the adjusting plate 104 can be driven to slide inside the hand-held groove 101, and then the adjusting rod 111 can be driven to move forward or backward, and further the position of the tongue pressing plate 112 can be adjusted. After adjusting to the appropriate position, by rotating the limit bolt 103, the lower end of the limit bolt 103 is pressed against the hand-held groove 101, so as to limit the sliding frame 102, and further the tongue pressing plate 112 can be limited to prevent it from moving during use.

[0032] After use, the screw rod 109 is rotated forward by holding the handle 110, so that the two threaded rings 108 are meshed with the screw rod 109, thereby driving the two clamping plates 107 to move toward both ends inside the guide groove 106, and then expanding the distance between the two clamping plates 107, and the adjusting rod 111 is no longer clamped and fixed, so that the adjusting rod 111 and the tongue depressor 112 can be disassembled and discarded, and then a new adjusting rod 111 and tongue depressor 112 are replaced, and the screw rod 109 is reversed again, so that the two clamping plates 107 clamp the new adjusting rod 111, and the new tongue depressor 112 is replaced. 2 is fixed for easy use. By setting the installation assembly, the tongue depressor 112 can be replaced easily without replacing other parts. Therefore, it can avoid cross infection of bacteria caused by repeated use of the tongue depressor 112, and can reduce the manufacturing cost of the tongue blocking device. Only the tongue depressor 112 needs to be replaced, and other parts can be reused. Secondly, the tongue depressor 112 is easy to install and disassemble. When the two clamping plates 107 clamp the adjusting rod 111, the adjusting rod 111 can be tilted, so that the tongue depressor 112 is tilted downward, so that the tongue can be better pressed.

[0033] Embodiment 2: This is the second embodiment of the present invention, comprising a spreading mechanism 200 , which comprises two tooth supporting rings 204 respectively disposed above and below the tongue depressor 112 .

[0034] The spreading mechanism 200 also includes two mounting rings 201 relatively fixedly mounted on both sides of the hand-holding slot 101, and support rods 202 are inserted inside the two mounting rings 201. The two mounting rings 201 are connected to the two support rods 202 by pins 203, and the front ends of the two support rods 202 are fixedly connected to the tooth support ring 204.

[0035] As can be seen from the above, when the tongue depressor 112 is inserted into the patient's oral cavity, the tooth support rings 204 above and below the tongue depressor 112 can support the teeth, and the patient's upper teeth and lower teeth bite the two tooth support rings 204 respectively, so that it is convenient for the patient to keep the mouth open, which is convenient for the doctor to examine and treat the oral cavity. At the same time, it can prevent the patient from opening the mouth on his own without tooth support and feeling tired, unable to open the mouth for a long time, thereby reducing the dentist's treatment efficiency. The tooth support ring 204 is supported by the support rod 202, so that the tooth support ring 204 is located above and below the tongue depressor 112, instead of being blocked vertically at the front end of the oral cavity, thereby avoiding affecting the dentist's line of sight and affecting the dentist's operation, and further avoiding reducing the efficiency of oral treatment.

[0036] By pulling out the pin 203, the support rod 202 can be disassembled, and then a new tooth support ring 204 can be replaced, thereby avoiding cross infection caused by repeated use.
