Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of oral medical treatment, and in particular to a teeth cleaning working tip and a teeth cleaning handle. Background Art

[0002] In the field of oral medicine, ultrasonic cleaning technology is a widely used treatment method that aims to effectively remove plaque, tartar and other deposits on the surface of the patient's teeth through the high-frequency vibrating working tip (the working part of the cleaning handle), thereby maintaining the patient's oral health.

[0003] However, in actual operation, doctors often face a challenge: when the patient's mouth is difficult to open fully or the area to be cleaned is relatively deep in the mouth, the working tip of the tooth cleaning handle needs to penetrate deep into the mouth to operate. At this time, the working tip is likely to come into contact with the patient's oral mucosa. Because ultrasonic tooth cleaning machines generate a lot of heat during operation, if the working tip is in contact with the patient's oral mucosa for a long time or the temperature is too high during contact, it may cause burns to the patient's oral mucosa, which will not only cause pain and discomfort to the patient, but may also cause complications such as oral infection, affecting the patient's oral health. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a tooth cleaning working tip. By arranging a heat-insulating sleeve at the connecting part of the tooth cleaning working tip, the risk of burns to the patient's oral mucosa is reduced, and the patient's comfort during treatment is ensured. At the same time, a water outlet channel is arranged to cool the connecting part, further reducing the risk of burns to the patient's oral mucosa.

[0005] A tooth cleaning working tip comprises a connecting part, a neck and a head connected in sequence, and an insulating sleeve detachably connected to the connecting part, a water outlet channel extending to the neck being provided in the connecting part, a water outlet connected to the water outlet channel being provided at the connection between the neck and the head, the end of the head away from the neck being a working end, the direction of the water outlet being opposite to the working end, a limiting boss being provided at a position of the connecting part close to the neck, and the insulating sleeve abutting against the limiting boss.

[0006] In this technical solution, a removable thermal insulation sleeve is installed at the connection portion, effectively isolating the heat generated by the ultrasonic scaler during operation, significantly reducing the risk of burns to the patient's oral mucosa during treatment. A retaining boss is provided near the neck of the connection portion, abutting the thermal insulation sleeve and helping to stabilize the sleeve, preventing it from loosening or falling off during the cleaning process. A stable thermal insulation sleeve can better perform its heat-insulating function and protect the patient's oral mucosa. The removable design of the thermal insulation sleeve facilitates cleaning and maintenance. The clinician can easily remove the thermal insulation sleeve for cleaning and disinfection, ensuring hygienic safety for the next use. Furthermore, if the thermal insulation sleeve becomes worn or damaged, it can be quickly replaced with a new one, reducing maintenance time and costs. A water outlet channel is provided within the connection portion, extending to the neck, ensuring smooth water flow. A water outlet is located at the junction of the neck and head, connected to the water outlet channel. The outlet is oriented directly towards the working end, allowing water to be sprayed directly and accurately onto the tooth surface, improving cleaning efficiency. At the same time, when water flows through the water outlet channel in the connection part, it can cool the connection part, further reducing the risk of burns to the patient's oral mucosa. The utility model reduces the risk of burns to the patient's oral mucosa by providing an insulating sleeve at the connection part of the tooth cleaning working tip, ensuring the patient's comfort during treatment. At the same time, the water outlet channel is provided to cool the connection part, further reducing the risk of burns to the patient's oral mucosa.

[0007] Furthermore, the thermal insulation sleeve is provided with a plurality of annular protrusions, and the annular protrusions extend from the inner wall of the thermal insulation sleeve toward the center.

[0008] In the above technical solution, the design of the annular protrusion increases the contact area and friction between the thermal insulation sleeve and the neck, making the thermal insulation sleeve more stable after installation and not easy to loosen or fall off due to external force.

[0009] Furthermore, the annular protrusions are evenly arranged along the axial direction of the thermal insulation sleeve.

[0010] In the above technical solution, the evenly spaced annular protrusions not only increase the contact area and friction between the thermal sleeve and the neck, but also enhance the overall structural stability of the thermal sleeve through their arrangement. This stability allows the thermal sleeve to maintain its shape and position during use, ensuring smooth tooth cleaning.

[0011] Furthermore, a plurality of granular protrusions are provided on the outer circumference of the thermal insulation sleeve, and the granular protrusions are arranged in a ring matrix on the outer circumference of the thermal insulation sleeve.

[0012] In the above technical solution, the granular protrusions significantly enhance the anti-slip performance of the thermal sleeve. When the doctor puts the thermal sleeve on the neck, the granular protrusions on the outer surface of the thermal sleeve can increase the friction between the hand and the thermal sleeve, preventing the thermal sleeve from falling off due to hand slippage.

[0013] Furthermore, the thermal insulation sleeve is made of silicone.

[0014] In the above technical solution, silicone is an excellent thermal insulation material with good thermal stability and low thermal conductivity. As the material of the thermal insulation sleeve, silicone can effectively block the high temperature transmitted from the tooth cleaning tip, protecting the patient's oral mucosa from burns. Its low thermal conductivity ensures that the thermal insulation sleeve maintains its excellent thermal insulation effect during long-term use.

[0015] Furthermore, the working end is spherical.

[0016] In the above technical solution, the relatively smooth edge of the spherical working end can more effectively remove plaque, calculus and other deposits on the tooth surface without damaging the teeth and gums. Its evenly distributed contact force also helps avoid excessive local wear on the teeth.

[0017] Furthermore, the working end is flat.

[0018] In this technical solution, the flattened working tip design allows the cleaning tip to more precisely target specific areas of the tooth surface. Compared to a spherical tip, the flattened working tip has a more defined edge and a smaller contact area, allowing it to reach deeper into gaps between teeth and hard-to-reach areas, improving cleaning precision.

[0019] Furthermore, the water outlet is elongated and extends toward the head.

[0020] In the above-mentioned technical solution, the slender water outlet design extending toward the head allows the water flow to act more directly on the tooth surface near the working end. This close-range spray method helps increase the impact of the water flow, thereby more effectively removing deposits such as plaque and calculus from the tooth surface. At the same time, the slender water outlet also helps reduce water diffusion and waste, improving cleaning efficiency.

[0021] Furthermore, the present invention also provides a tooth cleaning handle, comprising a handle body and the above-mentioned tooth cleaning tip, wherein the handle body is detachably connected to the neck of the tooth cleaning tip.

[0022] In the above technical solution, the handle body is the main part of the tooth cleaning handle and is responsible for providing the doctor with a grip. The handle body and the neck of the tooth cleaning working tip are connected in a detachable manner. This design brings many conveniences and advantages. First, it allows the doctor to first put the insulation sleeve on the neck of the working tip, and then connect the working tip to the handle body, which improves the installation convenience of the insulation sleeve. Secondly, the detachable connection also facilitates the cleaning, disinfection and maintenance of the working tip, ensuring hygiene and safety during use. Finally, when the working tip is damaged or worn, the doctor can replace the working tip alone without replacing the entire handle, reducing the cost of use.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0024] 1. A detachable heat-insulating sleeve is installed at the connection part to effectively isolate the heat generated by the ultrasonic scaler during operation, thereby greatly reducing the risk of burns to the oral mucosa during treatment.

[0025] 2. A limiting boss is provided at the connection part near the neck, which abuts against the thermal insulation sleeve, helping to stabilize the thermal insulation sleeve and prevent it from loosening or falling off during the teeth cleaning process.

[0026] 3. The water outlet channel and outlet are set to ensure that the water flow can be accurately sprayed onto the surface of the teeth that need to be cleaned, which helps to improve the efficiency of teeth cleaning and make teeth cleaning more thorough. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0034] The tooth cleaning tip of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings illustrate preferred embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In a preferred embodiment, the tooth cleaning working tip of the present invention includes a connecting part 1, a neck 2 and a head 3 connected in sequence, and a heat-insulating sleeve 4 detachably connected to the connecting part 1. A water outlet channel extending to the neck 2 is provided in the connecting part 1, and a water outlet 201 connected to the water outlet channel is provided at the connection between the neck 2 and the head 3. The end of the head 3 away from the neck 2 is a working end 301, and the direction of the water outlet 201 is facing the working end 301. A limiting boss 101 is provided at a position of the connecting part 1 near the neck 2, and the heat-insulating sleeve 4 abuts against the limiting boss 101.

[0036] It can be seen from the above technical solution that by providing a detachable insulation sleeve 4 on the connecting part 1, the heat generated by the ultrasonic dental scaler during operation is effectively isolated, thereby greatly reducing the risk of burns to the patient's oral mucosa during treatment. A limiting boss 101 is provided on the connecting part 1 near the neck 2, which abuts against the insulation sleeve 4, helping to stabilize the insulation sleeve 4 and prevent it from loosening or falling off during the teeth cleaning process. The stable insulation sleeve 4 can better play its heat insulation role and protect the patient's oral mucosa. The detachable design of the insulation sleeve 4 makes cleaning and maintenance more convenient. The doctor can easily remove the insulation sleeve 4 for cleaning and disinfection to ensure hygiene and safety when it is used next time. At the same time, if the insulation sleeve 4 is worn or damaged, it can also be quickly replaced with a new insulation sleeve 4, reducing maintenance time and cost. A water outlet channel extending to the neck 2 is provided in the connecting part 1 to ensure that the water flow can be smoothly transmitted. The connection between the neck 2 and the head 3 is provided with a water outlet 201 connected to the water outlet channel, and the direction of the water outlet 201 is directly opposite the working end 301, so that the water flow can be directly and accurately sprayed onto the tooth surface, thereby improving the efficiency of tooth cleaning. At the same time, when the water flows through the water outlet channel in the connecting part, it can cool the connecting part 1, further reducing the risk of burns to the patient's oral mucosa. The utility model reduces the risk of burns to the patient's oral mucosa by providing an insulating sleeve 4 on the connecting part 1, ensuring the patient's comfort during treatment, and at the same time providing a water outlet channel to cool the connecting part 1, further reducing the risk of burns to the patient's oral mucosa.

[0037] Specifically, the thermal insulation sleeve 4 is provided with a number of annular protrusions 401, which extend from the inner wall of the thermal insulation sleeve 4 toward the center. The design of the annular protrusions 401 increases the contact area and friction between the thermal insulation sleeve 4 and the neck 2, making the thermal insulation sleeve 4 more stable after installation and less likely to loosen or fall off due to external forces. The annular protrusions 401 not only enhance the connection stability between the thermal insulation sleeve 4 and the neck 2, but also improve the thermal insulation effect through its structural characteristics. When the ultrasonic dental scaler is working, the heat generated will try to be conducted to the outside through the thermal insulation sleeve 4, but the design of the annular protrusions 401 can form a certain thermal resistance, slowing down the heat transfer rate, thereby more effectively protecting the patient's oral mucosa from burns.

[0038] It should be noted that the annular protrusions 401 are evenly spaced along the axial direction of the thermal insulation sleeve 4. The evenly spaced annular protrusions 401 not only increase the contact area and friction between the thermal insulation sleeve 4 and the neck 2, but also enhance the overall structural stability of the thermal insulation sleeve 4 through their arrangement. This stability allows the thermal insulation sleeve 4 to maintain its shape and position during use, ensuring smooth tooth cleaning.

[0039] In addition, the outer surface of the thermal sleeve 4 is provided with a plurality of granular protrusions 402 arranged in a circular matrix. The granular protrusions 402 significantly enhance the thermal sleeve 4's anti-slip properties. When the doctor places the thermal sleeve 4 on the neck 2, the granular protrusions 402 on the outer surface of the thermal sleeve 4 increase the friction between the hand and the thermal sleeve 4, preventing the thermal sleeve 4 from falling off due to hand slippage.

[0040] It should be noted that the insulation sleeve 4 is made of silicone. Silicone is an excellent thermal insulation material with good thermal stability and low thermal conductivity. As the material of the insulation sleeve 4, silicone can effectively block the high temperature transmitted from the tooth cleaning tip, protecting the patient's oral mucosa from burns. Its low thermal conductivity ensures that the insulation sleeve 4 maintains good thermal insulation during long-term use.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 1 In one embodiment, the working end 301 is spherical. The relatively smooth edge of the spherical working end 301 effectively removes plaque, tartar, and other deposits from the tooth surface without damaging the teeth and gums. Its evenly distributed contact force also helps prevent excessive localized wear on the teeth. The spherical working end 301 also reduces the sharpness of the working tip in the mouth, making the patient feel more comfortable during dental cleaning treatment, helping to reduce patient anxiety and improving treatment acceptance and satisfaction.

[0042] In another embodiment, the working end 301 is flat. This design allows the cleaning tip to more precisely target specific areas of the tooth surface. Compared to a spherical working end, the flat working end 301 has a more defined edge and a smaller contact area, allowing it to more deeply clean gaps between teeth and hard-to-reach areas, improving cleaning precision.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 In one embodiment, the water outlet 201 is elongated and extends toward the head 3. This elongated outlet 201 extends toward the head, allowing the water flow to more directly impact the tooth surfaces near the working end 301. This close-range spraying method helps increase the impact of the water flow, thereby more effectively removing deposits such as plaque and calculus from the tooth surfaces. Furthermore, the elongated outlet helps reduce water diffusion and waste, thereby improving cleaning efficiency.

[0044] Furthermore, the utility model also provides a tooth cleaning handle, comprising a handle body and the above-mentioned tooth cleaning working tip, wherein the handle body is detachably connected to the neck 2 of the tooth cleaning working tip. The handle body, as the main part of the tooth cleaning handle, is responsible for providing a holding portion for the doctor. The handle body and the neck 2 of the tooth cleaning working tip are detachably connected. This design brings many conveniences and advantages. First, it allows the doctor to first put the insulation sleeve 4 on the neck 2 of the working tip, and then connect the working tip to the handle body, thereby improving the installation convenience of the insulation sleeve 4. Secondly, the detachable connection also facilitates the cleaning, disinfection and maintenance of the working tip, ensuring hygiene and safety during use. Finally, when the working tip is damaged or worn, the doctor can replace the working tip alone without replacing the entire handle, thereby reducing the cost of use.
