Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of braces instruments, and in particular relates to a brace capable of adjusting its shape. Background Art

[0002] Endotracheal intubation involves inserting a specialized endotracheal tube into the patient's trachea through the mouth or nose to create an artificial airway. It's like building a direct, unobstructed "highway" through the respiratory tract, rapidly ensuring gas exchange and oxygen supply, and preventing life-threatening problems such as airway obstruction and respiratory failure.

[0003] After general anesthesia, patients require endotracheal intubation for assisted breathing. However, for some elderly patients with loose teeth or dentures, there have been cases of teeth falling out during intubation. If a tooth falls into the trachea, it can hinder breathing and have a significant impact on the patient's life and health. Utility Model Content

[0004] In response to the above problems, the present application discloses a brace with adjustable shape.

[0005] A brace capable of adjusting its shape, comprising a control unit and a protective unit; a first limiting groove is provided on the side wall of the control unit; a second limiting groove is provided on the side wall of the protective unit; the protective units are respectively located at both ends of the control unit; the control unit and the protective unit are hinged; a control knob, a first limiting member and a second limiting member are provided inside the control unit; the control knob is rotatably connected to the control unit; the control unit and the protective unit are connected end to end; one end of the brace is the first end, and the other end is the second end; one end of the first limiting member is fixedly connected to the control knob, and the other end is fixedly connected to the first end after passing through the protective unit; one end of the second limiting member is fixedly connected to the control knob, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second end after passing through the protective unit.

[0006] Furthermore, a first connecting member is provided at one end of the control unit and a first connecting groove is provided at the other end; the first connecting member protrudes from the side wall of the control unit; one end of the first connecting member is inserted into the interior of the protection unit; and one end of the protection unit is inserted into the interior of the first connecting groove.

[0007] Furthermore, a second connecting member is provided at one end of the protection unit and a second connecting groove is provided at the other end; the second connecting member protrudes from the side wall of the protection unit; the second connecting member can be inserted into the interior of the second connecting groove on the adjacent protection unit; the second connecting member can be inserted into the interior of the control unit.

[0008] Furthermore, the second connecting member can be inserted into the interior of the second end portion.

[0009] Furthermore, the first end portion can be inserted into the second connecting groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the control unit can be inserted into the second connecting groove.

[0011] Furthermore, a third connecting member is provided on the side wall of the first end portion; the third connecting member protrudes from the side wall of the first end portion; and one end of the third connecting member can be inserted into the interior of the protection unit.

[0012] Furthermore, a third limiting groove is provided on the side wall of the first end portion.

[0013] Furthermore, a third connecting groove is provided on the side wall of the second end portion; one end of the protection unit can be inserted into the interior of the second end portion.

[0014] Furthermore, a fourth limiting groove is provided on the side wall of the second end portion.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: by rotating the control knob, the first limit member and the second limit member are wrapped around the control knob, and at this time, the gaps among the control unit, the protective unit, the first end portion and the second end portion are narrowed, so that the four are in contact with and squeezed against each other, and the shape of the control unit, the protective unit, the first end portion and the second end portion is locked by friction force, thereby locking the shape of the entire braces.

[0016] During use, loosening the control knob creates a gap between the control unit, protective unit, first end, and second end, allowing the shape of the braces to be adjusted. After placing the braces in the patient's mouth, turning the control knob locks the braces in place. During intubation, the braces wrap around the patient's teeth to prevent damage. Even if a patient's teeth fall out during intubation, the braces will temporarily store them to prevent them from falling into the trachea, ensuring smooth breathing.

[0017] The braces are designed with sections for adjustment. When in use, the braces are buckled onto the patient's teeth and the angles between the sections (control unit, protective unit, first end, and second end) are adjusted. The inner walls of these sections selectively contact one side of the patient's teeth, increasing friction between the braces and the patient's teeth, which helps secure the braces to the teeth.

[0035] like Figure 1-4 The adjustable mouthpiece shown includes a control unit 1 and a protective unit 2. The control unit 1 has a first retaining groove on its sidewall, while the protective unit 2 has a second retaining groove on its sidewall. During use, the patient's teeth are placed within the first and second retaining grooves to protect them.

[0036] The protective units 2 are located at either end of the control unit 1; the control unit 1 and the protective unit 2 are hingedly connected; the control unit 1 is internally provided with a control knob 11, a first stopper 15, and a second stopper 16; the control knob 11 is rotatably connected to the control unit 1; the control unit 1 and the protective unit 2 are connected end to end; one end of the brace is the first end 3, and the other end is the second end 4. A third stopper groove is provided on the side wall of the first end 3. A fourth stopper groove is provided on the side wall of the second end 4. During use, the patient's teeth are placed within the first, second, third, and fourth stopper grooves to protect the patient's teeth.

[0037] One end of the first limit member 15 is fixedly connected to the control knob 11, and the other end is fixedly connected to the first end 3 after passing through the protection unit 2; one end of the second limit member 16 is fixedly connected to the control knob 11, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second end 4 after passing through the protection unit 2.

[0038] By turning the control knob 11, the first limit member 15 and the second limit member 16 are wrapped around the control knob 11. At this time, the gap between the control unit 1, the protection unit 2, the first end portion 3, and the second end portion 4 will be reduced, so that the four are in contact with and squeezed against each other, and the shape of the control unit 1, the protection unit 2, the first end portion 3, and the second end portion 4 is locked by friction force, thereby locking the shape of the entire braces.

[0039] Specifically, a through hole 23 is provided inside the protection unit 2 , and the first limiting member 15 or the second limiting member 16 passes through the protection unit through the through hole 23 .

[0040] During use, the control knob 11 is loosened, creating a gap between the control unit 1, protective unit 2, first end 3, and second end 4, allowing the shape of the braces to be adjusted. After the braces are placed in the patient's mouth, the control knob 11 is turned to lock the shape of the braces. During intubation, the braces encase the patient's teeth to prevent damage. Even if a patient's teeth fall out during intubation, the braces will temporarily store them to prevent them from falling into the trachea, ensuring smooth breathing.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present application, a protective structure 5 is provided inside each of the first, second, third, and fourth limiting grooves. The protective structure 5 wraps around the inner walls of the first, second, third, and fourth limiting grooves, respectively. Specifically, the protective structure 5 is made of a highly elastic material, such as soft silicone or high-toughness rubber.

[0042] During use, when the patient's teeth enter the first limiting groove, the second limiting groove, the third limiting groove, and the fourth limiting groove, the protective structure 5 is wrapped around the surface of the patient's teeth to prevent the braces from hitting the patient's teeth and causing unnecessary damage to the patient's teeth.

[0043] like Figure 5-6 As shown, a first connecting member 13 is provided at one end of the control unit 1, and a first connecting groove 14 is provided at the other end; the first connecting member 13 protrudes from the side wall of the control unit 1; one end of the first connecting member 13 is inserted into the interior of the protection unit 2; one end of the protection unit 2 is inserted into the interior of the first connecting groove 14.

[0044] Specifically, the first connecting member 13 is a circular plate-shaped structure. A first extension plate is provided between the first connecting member 13 and the control unit 1. One end of the first extension plate is fixedly connected to the first connecting member 13, and the other end is fixedly connected to the control unit 1.

When the control knob 11 is rotated, the first limiting member 15 and the second limiting member 16 are wrapped around the control knob 11. At this time, the second connecting member 21 will abut against and press the interior of the second end portion 4, increasing the friction between the protective unit 2 and the second end portion 4, thereby locking the angle between the protective unit 2 and the second end portion 4.

[0049] The second connecting member 21 can be inserted into the interior of the first connecting groove 14, and the protection unit 2 rotates relative to the control unit 1 about the center of the second connecting member 21, thereby adjusting the angle between the protection unit 2 and the control unit 1 to adjust the shape of the braces. When the control knob 11 is rotated, the first limiting member 15 and the second limiting member 16 are wrapped around the control knob 11. At this time, the second connecting member 21 will abut against and press the inner wall of the first connecting groove 14, increasing the friction between the protection unit 2 and the control unit 1, thereby locking the angle between the protection unit 2 and the control unit 1.

[0052] When the third connecting member 31 is inserted into the second connecting groove 22, the first end portion 3 rotates relative to the protective unit 2 about the center of the third connecting member 31, thereby adjusting the angle between the first end portion 3 and the protective unit 2 to adjust the shape of the braces. When the control knob 11 is rotated, the first limiting member 15 and the second limiting member 16 are wrapped around the control knob 11. At this time, the second connecting member 21 will abut against and press the interior of the second end portion 4, increasing the friction between the protective unit 2 and the second end portion 4, thereby locking the angle between the protective unit 2 and the second end portion 4.

[0053] like Figure 3 、 10 As shown, a third connecting groove 41 is provided on the side wall of the second end portion 4. One end of the protection unit 2 can be inserted into the interior of the second end portion 4, that is, the second connecting member 21 can be inserted into the interior of the third connecting groove 41.
