[0025] Next, embodiments of the technical solution of the present utility model will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The following embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present utility model more clearly, so they are only examples and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] It should be noted that unless otherwise specified, the technical terms or scientific terms used in this application should have the ordinary meaning understood by those skilled in the art to which the present utility model belongs.

[0027] Such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides an auxiliary chewing training device, including a main body, which includes a first chewing component 1 and a second chewing component 2. Among them, the first chewing component 1 includes a first inner plate 11, a first connecting plate 12, and a first outer plate 13 that are connected in sequence; the second chewing component 2 includes a second inner plate 21, a second connecting plate 22, and a second outer plate 23 that are connected in sequence. The above-mentioned first inner plate 11 and the second inner plate 21 are arranged relatively at intervals, the first outer plate 13 and the second outer plate 23 are arranged relatively at intervals, and the first connecting plate 12 and the second connecting plate 22 are arranged crosswise and hinged to each other.

[0028] Specifically, the above-mentioned second connecting plate 22 includes two first support plates 221 and two second support plates 222. The first support plate 221 is connected to the second inner plate 21, the second support plate 222 is connected to the second outer plate 23, and the two first support plates 221 are respectively located on both sides of the first connecting plate 12. Correspondingly, the two second support plates 222 are also respectively located on both sides of the first connecting plate 12.

[0029] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned first connecting plate 12 and the second connecting plate 22 are hinged to each other through a connecting shaft 3. The connecting shaft 3 includes a blocking portion 31, a square shaft section 32, and a stud portion 33 arranged in sequence. The outer peripheral dimension of the blocking portion 31 is larger than the outer peripheral dimension of the square shaft section 32, and the outer peripheral dimension of the square shaft section 32 is larger than the outer peripheral dimension of the stud section 33.

[0030] Furthermore, a through hole is provided in the middle of the first connecting plate 12. The inner peripheral dimension of the through hole is larger than the outer peripheral dimension of the square shaft section 32 of the connecting shaft 3. The square shaft section 32 of the connecting shaft 3 is movably inserted into the through hole, so that the connecting shaft 3 can rotate relative to the first connecting plate 12. The above-mentioned first support plate 221 and the corresponding second support plate 222 are non-rotatably connected through the square shaft section 32 of the connecting shaft 3, so that the first support plate 221 and the second support plate 222 cannot rotate relative to each other. Specifically, square holes are provided on both the first support plate 221 and the second support plate 222, and the square holes are adapted to the above-mentioned square shaft section 32, and the two are non-rotatably connected. In addition, the inner peripheral dimension of the above-mentioned square hole is smaller than the outer peripheral dimension of the blocking portion 31.

[0031] During connection, the connecting shaft 3 is first passed through the square holes on the first support plate 221 and the second support plate 222 on one side, then through the through hole on the first connecting plate 12, and finally through the square holes on the first support plate 221 and the second support plate 222 on the other side to realize the connection of the first connecting plate 12 and the second connecting plate 22. At this time, the stud portion 33 of the connecting shaft 3 extends out of the second connecting plate 22 and is threadedly connected to a nut 4, and the blocking portion 31 of the connecting shaft 3 abuts against the outside of the second connecting plate 22. After connection, the first chewing component 1 and the second chewing component 2 can rotate relative to each other.

[0032] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7The second support plate 222 is provided with two first connecting ears at one end facing the first support plate 221, and the first support plate 221 is provided with a second connecting ear that can be clamped between the two first connecting ears. The above-mentioned square hole is provided on the first connecting ear and the second connecting ear to realize the anti-rotation connection between the first support plate 221, the second support plate 222 and the connecting shaft 3.

[0033] Furthermore, a flexible member 5 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first inner plate 11 and the second inner plate 21. The flexible member 5 is made of silicone material and has friction protrusions on the outer side of the flexible member 5. One end of the flexible member 5 is open so that it can be sleeved on the outer periphery of the first inner plate 11 and the second inner plate 21 through the open portion, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the flexible member 5. In addition, a baffle 51 is provided on the side of the flexible member 5 away from the body, and the baffle 51 is arranged away from the open portion.

[0034] Furthermore, a tension spring 6 is detachably connected between the first outer plate 13 and the second outer plate 23 , and hanging ears for hanging with the tension spring 6 are provided on both the first outer plate 13 and the second outer plate 23 , so as to facilitate replacement of the tension spring 6 .

[0035] When in use, the cleaned flexible member 5 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first inner plate 11 and the second inner plate 21, and the first inner plate 11 and the second inner plate 21 are extended into the oral cavity. The baffle 51 arranged on the flexible member 5 can limit the depth of the flexible member 5 extending into the oral cavity to prevent the first inner plate 11 and the second inner plate 21 from extending too deep. The flexible member 5 on the outer periphery of the first inner plate 11 and the second inner plate 21 is in contact with the upper and lower rows of teeth respectively, and the friction protrusions arranged on the flexible member 5 can effectively prevent the flexible member 5 from slipping between the teeth. When the user bites, the first inner plate 11 and the second inner plate 21 move toward each other, so that the first outer plate 13 and the second outer plate 23 move away from each other, and when the first outer plate 13 and the second outer plate 23 move away from each other, the tension spring 6 is pulled to store force and exert resistance. The existence of this resistance can play a role in exercising the chewing ability of the user, and because the tension spring 6 is detachably connected, the user can choose a tension spring 6 with a stiffness coefficient suitable for himself according to his chewing ability to match the corresponding resistance, thereby achieving a better exercise effect.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. These modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the utility model, and they should all be included in the scope of the claims and specification of the utility model.
