[0039] In this embodiment, the tooth support unit 1 can be clamped on the patient's lower teeth through the brace assembly 12 to achieve the functions of wearing and fixing, while the tooth support assembly 13 is in contact with the patient's upper teeth. Through the opening and closing action between the tooth support assembly 13 and the brace assembly 12, the patient's mouth can be stretched open without the patient having to open his mouth for a long time on his own, thereby avoiding causing fatigue of the patient's jaw muscles.

[0040] Among them, the brace assembly 12 and the brace assembly 13 are hinged to each other. Secondly, the rear end of the brace assembly 13 is hinged to the connecting rod 14, and the brace assembly 13 is driven to open and close by the stretching action of the connecting rod 14, and the other end of the connecting rod 14 away from the rear end of the brace assembly 13 is connected to the adjustment assembly 15.

[0041] Preferably, the mouthpiece assembly 12, the brace assembly 13, and all inlet devices in this device are manufactured from food-grade plastic to ensure hygienic and safe use by patients. In the medical device field, for devices that come into direct contact with the oral cavity, selecting biocompatible, non-toxic, and durable materials is crucial. This is achieved by ensuring that the selected materials fully meet medical-grade requirements, such as those specified in ISO 10993 biocompatibility standards.

[0042] In this embodiment, a flushing unit 2 is provided between the dental support assembly 13 and the dental brace assembly 12, wherein the observation assembly 21 is located above the flushing assembly 22, so as to facilitate observation of internal oral injuries, while the flushing assembly 22 can spray medicine on the patient's oral wound.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As an optional embodiment, the braces assembly 12 includes a support arm 121, hinged arms 122 protruding from both sides of the support arm 121, a protruding rod 123 protruding from the end of the hinged arm 122, and a braces 124 clamped on the side of the protruding rod 123 away from the hinged arm 122.

[0044] In one embodiment provided by the present invention, the tooth support assembly 13 includes a hinged rod 131 hinged on the inner side of the hinged arm 122, a connecting block 132 protruding from the rear end of the hinged rod 131, two groups of arc blocks 133 protruding from the front end of the hinged rod 131, and a pad 134 clamped on the end of the arc block 133 away from the hinged rod 131.

[0045] In one embodiment of the present invention, the support arm 121 includes a clamping hole 1211 sleeved on the periphery of the oral irrigator 11, and the oral irrigator 11 is inserted into the clamping hole 1211;

[0046] The mouthpiece 124 includes a tooth socket 1241 .

[0047] Preferably, the bottom of the brace assembly 12 is provided with a tooth groove 1241, which can be firmly fixed on the patient's lower teeth. The support arm 121 is arc-shaped and can adaptably fit the patient's chin. In addition, a curved plate can be installed at the bottom of the support arm 121, which contacts the patient's chin, thereby improving the overall fit of the device. Two sets of symmetrical hinged arms 122 extend outward from both sides of the support arm 121. The ends of the hinged arms 122 are provided with raised protrusions 123, which are connected to the braces 124 by plugging.

[0048] Furthermore, the brace assembly 13 is used to prop up the upper teeth, specifically by opening and closing them via a hinged rod 131 hinged to the inside of the hinged arm 122 of the brace assembly 12. A connecting block 132 is provided at the rear end of the hinged arm 122, which cooperates with the adjustment assembly 15. At the front end of the hinged arm 122, two sets of upwardly curved arc blocks 133 are provided. These arc blocks 133 can fit snugly against the patient's upper lip during use, reducing any foreign body sensation. Like the hinged arm 122, the arc blocks 133 are connected to the spacer 134 and the brace 124, respectively, via the protruding rod 123.

[0049] Preferably, the mouthpiece 124 and spacer 134 are available in a variety of sizes to accommodate patients of different ages. These products are manufactured using rubber die-casting technology and are designed for single use, ensuring hygiene and safety. To accommodate the varying pitch angles of the brace assembly 13, the spacer 134 is specially designed with a flexible material to enhance contact area with the patient's upper teeth and improve fit.

[0050] In summary, during actual use, the present device can be securely fixed to the patient's lower teeth via the tooth sockets 1241 at the bottom of the braces 124, significantly reducing the need for medical personnel to hold the device for extended periods of time to maintain stability during treatment. Furthermore, the brace assembly 13, through the hinged rod 131, achieves a flexible opening and closing function, which helps reduce the need for patients to maintain an open mouth for extended periods during treatment, thereby avoiding fatigue in the patient's jaw muscles caused by prolonged tension. Furthermore, the design of the braces 124 and the spacer 134 fully considers the individual needs of different patients and can adapt to a variety of different oral structures, ensuring the applicability and comfort of the device.

[0051] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the adjustment assembly 15 includes a limit block 151 that is clamped on the outside of the oral irrigator 11 and a pressure rod 152 that is arranged on one side of the limit block 151.

[0052] As an optional embodiment, the limiting block 151 includes a clamping portion 1511 and a hinge portion 1512 protruding from one side of the clamping portion 1511 .

[0053] As an optional embodiment, the pressure rod 152 includes a driving end 1521, a hinge end 1522 protruding from the inner side of the driving end 1521, and a pressing end 1523 protruding from the bottom of the hinge end 1522;

[0054] A tension spring 31 is provided between the driving end 1521 and the clamping portion 1511 .

[0055] As an optional embodiment, the driving end 1521 includes a sliding groove 15211 for slidingly connecting the connecting rod 14;

[0056] One end of the connecting rod 14 is hinged to the connecting block 132 , and the other end of the connecting rod 14 away from the connecting block 132 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 15211 .

[0057] In this embodiment, the adjustment assembly 15 is composed of a limit block 151 clamped on the outside of the oral irrigator 11, and a pressure rod 152 hinged on one side of the limit block 151. The pressure rod 152 cooperates with the connecting rod 14 to drive the tooth support assembly 13 to open and close.

[0058] The stopper 151 comprises a clamping portion 1511 on one side for securing the oral irrigator 11, and a hinged portion 1512 on the other side for hingedly connecting the pressure rod 152. The oral irrigator 11 is an existing device, while the oral irrigator 11 used in this device is cylindrical, with a narrow top and a thick bottom. This allows the stopper 151 to be locked onto the rod diameter of the oral irrigator 11 by sliding the upper end of the oral irrigator 11 onto the rod diameter, achieving assembly.

[0059] The hinged portion 1512 fixes the hinged pressure rod 152, allowing the operator to operate it with one hand. The pressure rod 152 consists of a driving end 1521 that acts as a connecting end, a hinged end 1522 in the middle, and a pressing end 1523 at the lower end. A sliding groove 15211 is provided on the rod body of the driving end 1521, and one end of the connecting rod 14 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 15211. The other end of the connecting rod 14, away from the sliding groove 15211, is hinged to the connecting block 132 of the tooth support assembly 13. Through the clockwise movement of the driving end 1521, under the hinged action of the connecting rod 14, the connecting block 132 is pulled to lift the tooth support assembly 13, realizing the opening and closing movement.

[0060] Among them, the connecting rod 14 is V-shaped, so that when the driving end 1521 moves clockwise, one side of the rod body of the connecting rod 14 can be pressed against the support arm 121, which plays a role in releasing force and prevents the operator from damaging the patient's mouth due to a large opening and closing angle or opening and closing force when operating with one hand.

[0061] The hinge end 1522 in the middle of the driving end 1521 is hinged to the hinge portion 1512 on the limit block 151, and the pressing end 1523 at the lower end of the driving end 1521 is arranged obliquely outward so that the operator can achieve the hinge effect by holding the pressing end 1523 with one hand.

[0062] During use, the medical staff snaps the braces 124 onto the patient's lower teeth to secure them, while the arc-shaped block 133 contacts the patient's upper lip. The medical staff then simultaneously holds the irrigator 11 and the shaft of the pressing end 1523 with one hand. Through squeezing force, the pressing end 1523 moves toward the irrigator 11, causing the driving end 1521 to move outward, thereby causing the tooth support assembly 13 to tilt upward and open the patient's oral cavity. When the operator releases their grip on the irrigator 11 and the shaft of the pressing end 1523, the tension spring 31 can quickly pull the driving end 1521 inward, quickly closing the patient's oral cavity and reducing the patient's discomfort.

[0063] In summary, medical staff can operate with one hand, by squeezing the pressing end 1523 of the pressure rod 152, so that the driving end 1521 moves outward, thereby driving the tooth support assembly 13 to tilt upward, supporting and opening the patient's mouth. This design simplifies the operation process and improves the convenience of use. The V-shaped design of the connecting rod 14 can play a role in releasing force during the clockwise movement of the driving end 1521, avoiding damage to the patient's mouth caused by excessive opening and closing angles or opening and closing forces. Finally, when the operator releases his grip on the rod body of the water flosser 11 and the pressing end 1523, he can quickly pull the driving end 1521 inward to quickly close the patient's mouth. This design reduces the patient's discomfort time and improves the comfort and safety of use.

[0064] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment provides an oral irrigation device, which further includes a irrigation unit 2.

[0065] The flushing unit 2 includes an observation assembly 21 disposed inside the tooth support assembly 13 , and a flushing assembly 22 disposed at the bottom of the observation assembly 21 .

[0066] As an optional embodiment, the observation assembly 21 includes a flexible rod 211 clamped on the inner side of the bottom of the hinge rod 131, a magnifying glass 212 arranged at the end of the flexible rod 211, and an LED light group 213 arranged around the magnifying glass 212.

[0067] As an optional embodiment, the flushing assembly 22 includes a pipe 221 arranged inside the oral irrigator 11, a plastic tube 222 penetrating the inner side of the clamping hole 1211, and a nozzle 223 arranged at the end of the plastic tube 222.

[0068] In this embodiment, a flexible rod 211 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the bottom of the hinged rod 131. The flexible rod 211 has excellent flexibility and can easily adapt to and extend into the patient's oral cavity for detailed examination or treatment. In order to further improve the clarity of the examination, a set of annular magnifying glasses 212 is fixedly connected to the end of the flexible rod 211 near the inside of the oral cavity. In addition, a set of annular array LED light groups 213 is provided on the side of the annular magnifying glasses 212. This set of LED light groups 213 can provide sufficient lighting for the inside of the patient's oral cavity, ensuring that the doctor can clearly see every detail inside the oral cavity when performing oral examination or treatment.

[0069] Preferably, the flexible rod 211 is a stainless steel bellows, 316L stainless steel bellows, which has good corrosion resistance and is very suitable for use in medical environments.

[0070] The irrigation assembly 22 is disposed throughout the interior of the oral irrigator 11. The oral irrigator 11 is equipped with a pump assembly that effectively transports the liquid medicine in the pipe 221 inside the oral irrigator 11 to the plastic tube 222. After being transported through the plastic tube 222, the liquid medicine is ultimately sprayed onto the affected area of ​​the patient's mouth through the nozzle 223, thereby achieving the purpose of flushing the medicine.

[0071] Preferably, the flexible rod 211 and the plastic tube 222 are made of the same material. The choice of flexible material allows both the flexible rod 211 and the plastic tube 222 to have good bendability. Depending on different usage scenarios and needs, the operator can easily bend the flexible rod 211 and the plastic tube 222 into a desired shape to accommodate the complex structure of the oral cavity and treatment needs.

[0072] During actual use, the operator can operate the dental brace unit 1 with one hand to open the patient's mouth for better examination or treatment. Simultaneously, the operator can use the other hand to hold the tweezers, grasp the plastic tube 222, and direct it toward the affected area of ​​the patient's mouth. Once ready, the operator can activate the oral irrigator 11 to begin irrigating the patient's mouth. This design allows doctors to perform oral treatment more conveniently and efficiently.

[0073] Finally, it should be pointed out that the methods and devices described in detail above are merely embodiments, and those skilled in the art can modify these embodiments in different ways without departing from the scope of the present invention.
