[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-7 As shown, a tongue depressor includes a tongue depressor main body 1; the right end inside of the tongue depressor main body 1 is sleeved outside the threaded rod 12. The inner wall of the tongue depressor main body 1 sleeved outside the threaded rod 12 and the threaded rod 12 are both circularly designed. A tongue pressing mechanism is arranged inside the tongue depressor main body 1.

[0027] The tongue pressing mechanism includes a rotating handle 13. The rotating handle 13 is arranged at the right end of the threaded rod 12, and the left end of the rotating handle 13 is welded to the right end of the threaded rod 12. The left end of the threaded rod 12 is welded to the right end of the first rotating block 11. The outside of the first rotating block 11 is sleeved with a first fixing block 10, and the first rotating block 11 is rotatably connected to the first fixing block 10. The inner walls of the first rotating block 11 and the first fixing block 10 are both circularly designed. The left end of the first fixing block 10 is welded to the left inner end of the tongue depressor main body 1.

[0028] During operation, first hold the right end of the tongue depressor main body 1 and place it above the upper part of the patient's oral cavity. Then rotate the rotating handle 13 to drive the threaded rod 12 to rotate. When the threaded rod 12 rotates, it drives the first rotating block 11 to rotate along the inside of the first fixing block 10.

[0029] Furthermore, a moving block 15 is sleeved outside the threaded rod 12, and the threaded rod 12 is threadedly connected to the moving block 15. Limiting blocks 14 are also arranged at the left and right ends outside the threaded rod 12. The outside of the threaded rod 12 is welded to the inner wall of the limiting block 14. The limiting block 14 is circularly designed.

[0030] During operation, the threaded rod 12 rotates to drive the moving block 15 outside the threaded rod 12 to move along the surface of the threaded rod 12 towards the left end of the tongue depressor main body 1. The limiting block 14 outside the threaded rod 12 can be used to limit the moving block 15 to prevent the moving block 15 from disengaging from the thread groove opened outside the threaded rod 12 when moving.

[0031] Further, first fixing seats 16 are also provided at the front and rear ends of the moving block 15. One end of the outer side of the moving block 15 is welded to the first fixing seat 16. One end of a rotating push rod 17 is sleeved on the outer side of the other end of the first fixing seat 16, and the first fixing seat 16 is rotatably connected to the rotating push rod 17. The outer side of the other end of the first fixing seat 16 and the inner wall of the rotating push rod 17 sleeved on the outer side of the first fixing seat 16 are both circularly designed;

[0032] During operation, the moving block 15 moves towards the left end, driving the first fixing seat 16 to move at the same time. The first fixing seat 16 pushes the rotating push rod 17 to move, and one end of the rotating push rod 17 flips outwards along the first fixing seat 16 at the same time.

[0033] Further, the other end of the rotating push rod 17 is sleeved on the outer side of one end of the second fixing seat 18, and the rotating push rod 17 is rotatably connected to the second fixing seat 18. The front end of the second fixing seat 18 is welded to the rear end of the rotating pressing plate 19 near the right side position. The outer side of one end of the second fixing seat 18 and the inner wall of the rotating push rod 17 sleeved on the outer side of the first fixing seat 16 are both circularly designed;

[0034] During operation, one end of the rotating push rod 17 flips, and the other end of the rotating push rod 17 flips along the outer side of the second fixing seat 18, and pushes the right end of the rotating pressing plate 19 to flip outwards and open.

[0035] Further, the left end of the rotating pressing plate 19 is welded to the right end of the second rotating block 20. The second rotating block 20 is sleeved on the outer side of the right end of the third fixing seat 21, and the second rotating block 20 is rotatably connected to the third fixing seat 21. The inner wall of the second rotating block 20 and the outer side of the right end of the third fixing seat 21 are both circularly designed. The left end of the third fixing seat 21 is welded to the left end inside the tongue depressor main body 1;

[0036] During operation, the rotating pressing plate 19 rotates. When the rotating pressing plate 19 rotates, it drives the second rotating block 20 to rotate along the inside of the third fixing seat 21. When it is opened to an appropriate angle, the tongue depressor main body 1 is moved above the tongue and presses the tongue.

[0037] Further, support rods 22 are also provided on both sides of the front and rear ends near the right side position at the bottom end of the tongue depressor main body 1. The bottom end of the tongue depressor main body 1 is welded to the top end of the support rod 22. The bottom end of the support rod 22 is welded to the top end of the fixing plate 23. Anti-slip blocks 24 are also provided at the bottom ends of the tongue depressor main body 1, the rotating pressing plate 19, and the fixing plate 23. The bottom ends of the tongue depressor main body 1, the rotating pressing plate 19, and the fixing plate 23 are respectively adhesively bonded to the top ends of the anti-slip blocks 24. The anti-slip blocks 24 are made of rubber material;

[0038] During operation, the tongue depressor main body 1 presses downward, and the bottom end of the fixing plate 23 at the position below the support rod 22, the bottom end of the tongue depressor main body 1, and the anti-slip block 24 at the bottom end of the rotating pressing plate 19 come into contact with the tongue. The anti-slip grooves on the surface of the anti-slip block 24 can effectively prevent the position of the tongue depressor main body 1 from moving.

[0039] Working principle: When performing tongue depression, first hold the right end of the tongue depressor main body 1 and place it above the upper part of the patient's oral cavity. Then rotate the rotating handle 13 to drive the threaded rod 12 to rotate. When the threaded rod 12 rotates, it drives the first rotating block 11 to rotate along the inside of the first fixing block 10. At the same time, when the threaded rod 12 rotates, it drives the moving block 15 outside the threaded rod 12 to move along the surface of the threaded rod 12 towards the left end of the tongue depressor main body 1. The limiting block 14 outside the threaded rod 12 can be used to limit the moving block 15 to prevent the moving block 15 from disengaging from the thread groove opened on the outside of the threaded rod 12 when moving. When the moving block 15 moves towards the left end, it simultaneously drives the first fixing seat 16 to move, and the first fixing seat 16 pushes the rotating push rod 17 to move. At the same time, one end of the rotating push rod 17 flips outwards along the first fixing seat 16. When one end of the rotating push rod 17 flips, the other end of the rotating push rod 17 flips along the outside of the second fixing seat 18 and pushes the right end of the rotating pressing plate 19 to flip outwards and open. When the rotating pressing plate 19 rotates, it drives the second rotating block 20 to rotate along the inside of the third fixing seat 21. Until the appropriate angle is opened, move the tongue depressor main body 1 above the tongue and press the tongue. When the tongue depressor main body 1 presses downward, the bottom end of the fixing plate 23 at the position below the support rod 22, the bottom end of the tongue depressor main body 1, and the anti-slip block 24 at the bottom end of the rotating pressing plate 19 come into contact with the tongue. The anti-slip grooves on the surface of the anti-slip block 24 can effectively prevent the position of the tongue depressor main body 1 from moving, for performing tongue depression.

[0040] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art of this industry should understand that the present utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. What is described in the above embodiments and the specification only illustrates the principle of the present utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model, the present utility model will have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present utility model claimed.
