[0032] Example 1

[0033] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a preferred embodiment of an adjustable lip muscle trainer provided by the present invention includes a main body 1, having a group of relatively arranged and elastically swingable support arms 11, and under external force, the two support arms 11 can approach each other; a bite portion 2, connected to the support arms 11, and elastically swinging with the support arms 11; an adjustment component 3, movably connected to the main body 1, the adjustment component 3 includes an adjustment portion 31, and a supporting portion 32 connected to the adjustment portion 31, and the supporting portion 32 is located between the two support arms 11; operating the adjustment portion 31 to change the position of the supporting portion 32 between the two support arms 11, or changing the direction of the supporting portion 32, thereby adjusting the external force required to bring the two support arms 11 closer to each other, that is, adjusting the force parameters of lip muscle training to adapt to the personalized needs of different users, or the scene needs of the same user in different training stages, thereby effectively improving the training efficiency.

[0034] In this embodiment, the operation of the adjustment portion 31 to change the position of the supporting portion 32 on the two arm portions 11 is used as an example for explanation. By changing the position of the supporting portion 32 in the length direction of the two arm portions 11, the torque during lip muscle training is changed to achieve the purpose of training force parameters.

[0035] The elastic swing of the arm portion 11 can be achieved by the arm portion 11 having its own elasticity, or by providing an elastic member such as a spring or a torsion spring between the two arm portions 11, so as to make the two engaging portions 2 tend to move away from each other.

[0036] In this embodiment, the arm portion 11 itself has elasticity; a receiving groove 14 is provided on the main body 1, one end of the arm portion 11 is fixed in the receiving groove 14, and the other end is a free end, and the free end can elastically swing at the notch of the receiving groove 14; the bite portion 2 is assembled at the free end and swings together with the arm portion 11.

[0037] The main body 1 is provided with a first sliding portion 12; the adjusting portion 31 is slidably connected to the first sliding portion 12, and one end of the adjusting portion 31 passes through the first sliding portion 12 and connects to the supporting portion 32. In this embodiment, the first sliding portion 12 is a first sliding groove provided on the main body 1, which is connected to the aforementioned receiving groove. After one end of the adjusting portion 31 passes through the first sliding groove, it connects to the supporting portion 32, sliding the adjusting portion 31, driving the supporting portion 32 to move along the length of the support arm 11, thereby changing the torque.

[0038] Furthermore, a first positioning portion 121 is provided on the first sliding portion 12 ; a second positioning portion 314 is provided on the adjusting portion 31 , which cooperates with the first positioning portion 121 to limit the sliding of the adjusting portion 31 to maintain the force parameter value of the current training.

[0039] Preferably, the first positioning portion 121 is provided on two opposite groove walls of the first sliding groove, and includes a plurality of first positioning teeth.

[0040] The adjusting portion 31 includes an adjusting plate 311 and a connecting plate 312 . The connecting plate 312 slides in the first sliding groove. The second positioning portions 314 are provided on both sides of the connecting plate 312 .

[0041] The second positioning portion 314 includes a second positioning tooth, which is arranged corresponding to the first positioning tooth. The two are engaged to adjust the relative position of the adjusting portion 31 and the first sliding portion 12, and limit the sliding of the adjusting portion 31. When adjustment is required, the adjusting portion 31 can be slid after the engagement is released, or external force can be increased to force the second positioning tooth to squeeze through and reach the position of the next pair of first positioning teeth.

[0042] Furthermore, in order to improve the smoothness when pushing the adjustment portion 31 , the second positioning portion 314 is a semi-cylindrical positioning tooth.

[0043] The main body 1 is provided with a second sliding portion 13 , which is disposed adjacent to the first sliding portion 12 ; the adjustment assembly 3 further includes a third sliding portion 313 , one end of which is connected to the adjustment portion 31 , and the other end of which is slidably connected to the second sliding portion 13 .

[0044] The second sliding portion 13 is preferably configured as two second sliding grooves, distributed on the left and right sides along the sliding direction of the first sliding portion 12. Since the first sliding portion 12 is a sliding groove, the main body 1 between the first and second sliding grooves is formed into a thin strip structure, which is more easily elastically deformed, allowing the second positioning portion 314 to squeeze through the first positioning tooth of the other first positioning portion 121 more effortlessly and smoothly.

[0045] The third sliding portion 313 includes a buckle plate and a buckle edge. One end of the buckle plate is connected to the adjustment plate 311, and the other end passes through the second sliding portion 13 and is connected to the buckle edge, so that the buckle edge is limited to the side of the second sliding portion 13 close to the inside of the main body 1, making the adjustment portion 31 less likely to shake, thereby increasing the stability of the structure.

[0046] Furthermore, in order to increase the elastic force between the two engaging portions 2 , the abutting portion 32 is preferably an elastic block with elasticity.

[0047] At this time, the supporting portion 32 is not only used to change the torque, but also to provide additional training elastic force; further, the elastic block can make the feedback of the bite training on the lip muscles softer, which can protect the teeth and lip muscles and provide a better user experience.

[0048] Furthermore, a fourth sliding portion 15 is provided within the main body 1, corresponding to the first sliding portion 12. The abutting portion 32 is slidably connected to the fourth sliding portion 15, or the adjusting portion 31 passes through the abutting portion 32 and is slidably connected to the fourth sliding portion 15. In this embodiment, the fourth sliding portion 15 is a fourth sliding groove provided with the inner wall of the receiving groove. The connecting plate 312 of the adjusting portion 31 passes through the elastic block and is slidably disposed in the fourth sliding groove.

[0049] The elastic block includes an annular wall portion 321; a plug portion 323 connected to the annular wall portion 321 via elastic ribs 322; and an adjustment portion 31 connected to the plug portion 323. In this embodiment, the elastic block is preferably a cylindrical block, the annular wall portion 321 is a continuous flexible annular wall, and the plug portion 323 is an annular groove, with the back of the groove wall connected to the annular wall via a plurality of elastic ribs 322. Preferably, the annular wall, annular groove wall, and the plurality of elastic ribs 322 are integrally formed.

[0050] Furthermore, the occlusal portion 2 is detachably connected to the arm portion 11 so that the occlusal portion 2 can be removed for cleaning, disinfection or replacement.

[0051] In this embodiment, the occlusal portion 2 is a crescent-shaped arcuate braces groove 21, which better fits the distribution shape of human teeth. The arcuate groove is formed by the front wall, the back wall, and the bottom groove. When in use, the front wall is located deeper in the user's mouth.

[0052] Preferably, the detachable connection between the snap-fit ​​portion 2 and the support arm portion 11 is achieved by slot-block plug-in.

[0053] Specifically, an assembly groove 111 is provided on the arm portion 11, and a rotation connection groove 112 is provided in the assembly groove 111; an assembly block 22 is provided on the bite portion 2, which is located at the end of the rear wall facing away from the front wall, and a rotation connection block 221 is provided on the assembly block 22; after the assembly block 22 is connected to the assembly groove 111, the bite portion 2 is rotated so that the rotation connection block 221 is confined in the rotation connection groove 112. When disassembly is required, the reverse operation can be performed.

[0054] Example 2

[0055] As another embodiment, the direction of the resisting portion is changed by operating the adjusting portion, thereby adjusting the external force required to move the two arm portions closer to each other.

[0056] Specifically, the supporting portion has elastic forces of different magnitudes in different directions, or the supporting portion has lengths of different directions, for example, a columnar block with an elliptical cross-section is used.

[0057] The first sliding portion of the main body is replaced by a circular through hole.

[0058] A strip groove is provided on the supporting part, and one end of the adjusting part passes through the circular through hole and is plugged into the strip groove; by rotating the adjusting part, the supporting part can be driven to rotate, changing the contact position with the two arms, thereby adjusting the torque and achieving the purpose of adjusting the training force parameters.

[0059] The utility model discloses an adjustable lip muscle trainer, which changes the elastic resistance between two occlusal parts by arranging an adjustment component, thereby adjusting the force parameters, adapting to different personalized needs, and improving training efficiency.

[0060] The above embodiments only represent a part of the implementation methods of the present invention. Any modifications, substitutions and improvements made by those skilled in the art without creative work without departing from the concept of the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
