[0002] Saliva flow measurement is an important examination. Clinically, non-stimulated saliva flow and stimulated saliva flow are generally measured to evaluate the secretion of the patient's salivary glands, and then to guide the doctor's diagnosis and treatment. It is often used to assist in the diagnosis of diseases such as Sjogren's syndrome. Saliva flow measurement is a basic method for evaluating the secretion function of the salivary glands and is one of the common specialist operations in the rheumatology and immunology department for the diagnosis of Sjogren's syndrome.

[0003] The traditional specific measurement method is that the patient sits still, and the measurement device selected is two disposable plastic small cups. All oral saliva within 10 - 15 minutes is collected, and then the volume of the saliva is weighed. The doctor can preliminarily judge whether the secretion function of the salivary glands is damaged by comparing the normal value with the patient's saliva flow. However, there are several disadvantages: Currently, two disposable plastic small cups are used to collect saliva. During the collection process, the patient places the plastic small cups under the lips. Since there is a certain gap between the plastic small cups and the chin skin, it is easy to cause saliva to flow out outside the plastic small cups, affecting the accuracy of the saliva volume; the saliva flowing out on the patient's chin or clothes has a certain impact on the patient's self-image.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present specification, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present specification, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0026] Meanwhile, in the embodiments of the present specification, when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it may be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intermediate component at the same time. When a component is considered to be "disposed on" another component, it may be directly disposed on the other component or there may be an intermediate component at the same time.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1-2 , a bite-type saliva flow measurement device provided by this embodiment, which includes a mouth support assembly 1. The mouth support assembly 1 includes a mouth mask 11 and a bite piece 12. The bite piece 12 is connected to the middle of the mouth mask 11 through a plurality of connecting rods 13 and corresponds to the human mouth; a saliva collection assembly 2. The saliva collection assembly 2 includes a connecting pipe 21 and a collection bottle 22. The connecting pipe 21 is installed on the mouth mask 11 obliquely to the plane where the mouth of the mouth mask 11 is located, and the collection bottle 22 is installed at the bottom of the connecting pipe 21.

[0028] Specifically, when the device is in use, the patient covers the mouth with the mouth mask 11. At the same time, the patient bites the mouthpiece 12 inside the mouth mask 11. The patient holds the collection bottle 22 to fix the mouth mask 11 and the mouth. The connecting tube 21 is inclined at the mouth of the mouth mask 11. The higher end of the connecting tube 21 is connected to the mouth mask 11, and the lower end of the connecting tube 21 is connected to the collection bottle 22. A part of the patient's saliva will flow through the mouthpiece 12 to the connecting tube 21 and then to the collection bottle 22. Another part of the patient's saliva flows on the mouth mask 11, then flows to the connecting tube 21 along the mouth mask 11 and then to the collection bottle 22. After several minutes, the patient releases the mouthpiece 12, removes the collection bottle 22 and then removes the face mask, completing the collection of saliva. The mouth mask 11 blocks the entire circumference of the patient's mouth, preventing saliva from leaking out when the patient collects saliva. At the same time, when the patient uses the mouthpiece 12, it plays a certain role in preventing the patient from swallowing saliva, making the measurement results more accurate.

[0029] In some possible embodiments, there are three connecting rods 13. The three connecting rods 13 are evenly distributed inside the mouth mask 11. The three connecting rods 13 face the middle of the mouth mask 11. One end of the three connecting rods 13 away from the mouth mask 11 is connected to one end of the mouthpiece 12; the inside of the mouthpiece 12 is a hollow through hole.

[0030] Specifically, the three connecting rods 13 support the mouthpiece 12 and place the mouthpiece 12 in the middle of the mouth mask 11. The main part of the mouthpiece 12 protrudes and is outside the mouth mask 11, facilitating the patient's mouth to bite it. The three connecting rods 13 are more stable and the mouthpiece 12 will not fall off from the mouth mask 11; the inside of the mouthpiece 12 is a hollow through hole. When the patient uses it, a part of the saliva will flow from the hollow through hole inside the mouthpiece 12 to the back of the mouth mask 11 and then into the connecting tube 21, reducing the amount of saliva flowing directly into the connecting tube 21 from the mouth of the mouth mask 11 and reducing the contamination of the outside of the patient's mouth by saliva.

[0031] In some possible embodiments, the straight line where the tube body of the connecting tube 21 is located forms a 45° angle with the plane where the mouth of the mouth mask 11 is located, and the end of the connecting tube 21 away from the mouth mask 11 faces downward.

[0032] Specifically, the straight line where the tube body of the connecting tube 21 is located forms a 45° angle with the plane where the mouth of the mouth mask 11 is located, which is more convenient for the patient to hold the collection bottle 22 during use. Moreover, the 45° inclination angle does not prevent saliva from flowing into the collection bottle 22 and will not accumulate in the connecting tube 21.

[0033] In some possible embodiments, an ear loop 14 is installed on each of the two outer sides of the mouth mask 11; a rubber ring 15 is provided around the mouth of the mouth mask 11.

[0034] Specifically, when in use, the patient can hang the ear loop 14 on the mask 11 on the ears for a preliminary support of the device, making it easier for the patient to hold the collection bottle 22. When the mask 11 is in use, it needs to cover the outer periphery of the patient's mouth. The rubber ring 15 plays a certain sealing role to prevent saliva from flowing out. At the same time, the rubber material is softer to prevent the mask 11 from squeezing and bruising the patient's mouth.

[0035] In some possible embodiments, the collection bottle 22 is made of medical polyethylene; the bottle body of the collection bottle 22 is marked with scales according to the capacity of the collection bottle 22; the capacity of the collection bottle 22 is 50 ml.

[0036] Specifically, the medical polyethylene material is a transparent material, and the patient can observe the saliva flow according to the scales on the bottle body. Moreover, the medical polyethylene is inexpensive and lightweight. The 50-ml capacity collection bottle 22 can meet the measurement of most saliva flows and will not be too large in size, making it convenient to use.

[0037] In some possible embodiments, the connecting tube 21 and the collection bottle 22 are detachably connected.

[0038] Specifically, when other tests on the saliva are required, the connecting tube 21 and the collection bottle 22 can be disassembled to test the saliva in the collection bottle 22, facilitating other testing work for medical staff.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only specific embodiments of the present invention, used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than limiting it. The protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.
