Example 1

[0032] like Figures 1 to 5 The figure shows a multi-headed, shapeable, filtering saliva suction tube. This is a disposable item (one tube per patient, discarded after use). It includes a shapeable main saliva suction tube 1, the top of which is fixedly connected to the bottom of a connector 2. The top of the connector 2 is connected to multiple shapeable branch saliva suction tubes 3 (two branch saliva suction tubes 3 in this embodiment). A suction tip 4 is removably inserted into the front end of each branch saliva suction tube 3, with a filter 7 positioned between the suction tip 4 and the branch saliva suction tube 3. The suction tip 4 includes a sleeve 41 that fits into the branch saliva suction tube 3. A horizontal cylindrical tube 42 is perpendicularly connected to the upper end of the sleeve 41. The left and right side panels of the cylindrical tube 42 are respectively embedded with vertical strip-shaped first suction holes 43. The top of the cylindrical tube 42 is embedded with arc-shaped second suction holes 44 spaced apart from each other. The first and second suction holes 43, 44 can filter large pieces of dental calculus. An annular boss (not shown) is provided in the sleeve 41 to limit the position of the filter 7. Each branch saliva suction tube 3 is provided with a ball valve 31. The lower end of the main saliva suction tube 1 cooperates with the weak suction negative pressure device, and the lower end of the main saliva suction tube 1 is detachably inserted with a conversion joint 6 that cooperates with the strong suction negative pressure device. The main saliva suction tube 1 is also fixed with an anti-slip handle 5.

[0033] The filter 7 includes a circular ring 71, in which a metal mesh 72 is fixed. The metal mesh 72 can block particles smaller than the first suction hole 43 and the second suction hole 44 and cotton wool formed by negative pressure from cotton balls used during dental treatment, thereby preventing cotton wool and particles smaller than the first suction hole 43 and the second suction hole 44 from clogging the dental chair pipe connected to the saliva suction tube, thereby reducing the frequency of dental chair pipe maintenance.

[0034] The outer surface of the collar 71 is in sliding engagement with the inner surface of the sleeve 41 .

[0035] The main suction pipe 1 and the branch suction pipe 3 are structurally identical, and each includes a flexible pipe body 11, and the pipe body 11 is embedded with a shapeable metal wire 12 in the lateral wall in a circumferentially uniform and spaced manner.

[0036] The anti-skid handle 5 includes a silica gel cylinder 51, and the left and right sides of the silica gel cylinder 51 are vertically and spacedly provided with arc-shaped grooves 52, and the arc-shaped grooves 52 are fixedly provided with circular convex points 53.

[0037] The inner surface of the sleeve 41 is in extrusion and frictional cooperation with the outer surface of the upper end of the branch suction pipe 3.

[0038] The pipe diameter of the branch suction pipe 3 is smaller than that of the main suction pipe 1.

[0039] In use, the staff can select the number of branch suction pipes 3 according to the needs, and the unused pipelines can be bent and closed outside through the ball valve 31, and the required branch suction pipe 3 is bent into the required shape, so that multiple suction in the oral cavity of the patient can be performed, and the opening and closing and the ventilation amount of each pipeline can be controlled through the ball valve 31, the filter screen 7 can play a role in filtering and blocking impurities, and can be disassembled and cleaned, or can be directly replaced with a new suction pipe without disassembly and cleaning. The transverse cylindrical cylinder 42 is in close contact with the inside of the oral cavity of the patient, and compared with the previous cylindrical head, the contact area is increased, the first suction hole 43 and the second suction hole 44 can effectively improve the suction efficiency of the liquid, and the annular boss cooperates with the top surface of the branch suction pipe 3 to jointly clamp and fix the filter screen 7. The bottom of the main suction pipe 1 is provided with a conversion connector 6, which can be connected with a weak suction negative pressure device, and the conversion connector 6 is inserted into a strong suction negative pressure device, which is convenient for the staff to operate. Embodiment 2

[0040] As shown in Figure 6 , Figure 7 , the silica gel cylinder 51 is further provided with a front and rear opening elastic sleeve ring 54 on one side of the upper end.
